RYAN is AGAINST WRIT.
Referee in Tax Mandamus Case File:
Opinion with Supreme Court.

Opinion with Supreme Court.
LINCOLN, Neb., April Il.-Judge
Robert Ryan, as referee in the Omaha
tax mandamus case, has recommended
to the supreme court that the appli-
cation of William G.. Shriver and Geo.
T. Morton for a peremptory writ OF
mandamus be not allowed. He holds
that while the REALTORS are entitled to
the writ prayed for, it should not be
issued because of the defective method
provided by the statutes for the assess
ment of property of the kind and char
acter involved in the action.
The REALTORS. Shriver and Morton,
sought in this suit to have the court
issue a peremptOry writ to compel the
city council of Omaha to sit again as
a board of equalization to hear their
complaints against the assessment of
five public service corporations. Judge
Robert Ryan of this city was appoint
ed referee and his official report and
opinion were filed late this afternoon
in the office of the supreme court.
In the report Judge Ryan recites in
detail the issues of the case and gives
his findings. In the opinion the yari-
Gus authorities are taken up and dis
cussed. The opinion also embraced
an exhaustive discussion of the meth
cd of assessing public service corpora
tions for purposes of taxation in this
state.

Lost His
Rheumatism.
BY the use of a bottle OF
St. Jacobs Oil.

SERGEANT JEREMIAH MAHER, of Ard
cath, Royal Irish Constabulary, says: My
friend, Mr.. Thomas Hand, has been great
sufferer from rheumatism in the back and
joints for the last four years, during which
time he has employed many different
methods of treatment, but obtained no relief
whatever, and for the last two years has
been unable to walk without stick, and
sometimes two sticks, and was in great pain
constantly. l induced him to procure
bottle of St. Jacobs Oil, which he applied
with the most astonishing and marvellous
effects. Before he had finished using the
contents of the first bottle he could walk
readily without the aid of stick, and after
a few applications from the second bottle he
was free from pain, and has been ever since;
and although fifty years of age and farmer,
he can walk and work without experiencing
any pain or difficulty whatever"

Henderson, Madison, McNairy,
and Perry counties:
The Bar of Decaturville, feel
ing a special interest in the nom
iuation and election of Hon. James
A. England to the Office of Attorney
General for said Judicial Circuit,
because of his peculiar worth, ablli-
ty and fitness for said office, do
heartily and unanimously endorse
his candidacy and unhesitatingly
recommend him to the voters Of
said circuit as eminently qualified to
discharge the duties of the office
and worthy of their support and
confidence.
He is gentleman of the highest
personal character, and his career
at the Bar has been successful and
marNed by honor and integrity. lie
has always been true and unflinch-
lag democrat, and has at all times
been an out-spoken, active champion
of democratic policies and principle.
He is painstaking, conscientious
and an uuceasing worker. He has
been true TO the uttermost to every
duty and trust imposed upon him in
both public and private life, and If
elected Attorney General, the peo-
pie of the circuit can rest assured
that there is man amply able at
the helm aud that the interest of the
state will be ably looked after and
well protected. AS an evidence Of
his ability, we point to his success

has more prestige before the courts
in which he practices, nor does any
one more ably protect the interests
of his clients. He has enjoyed
large, lucrative practice, extending
over several counties, for many
years.
We do not believe there is any
man in our county more deservingly
and universally popular. We again
commend him to the voters of the
circuit. Any favors will be apprC-
ciated by him and his many per-
soual friends.

News is brought US of the death
in Cuba of Second Lieutenant Brad
ley j. Wootten, Seventh United
Stat $ Cavalry, and 1t is due TO his
character aud services that a brief
regular army career should not thus
be terminated without appropriate
notice from those who knew him in
the distant fields of the Philippine
archipelago, aid knew what thai
character and those services were
In November, 1899, the Twenty
eighth United States Volunteers
landed in Luzon, Immediately going
to the front. The subject of this
notice was First Lieutenant and Ad-
jutant of the First Battalion. As
Colonel, but now for the first time
looking upon this physically SPLEEN
did organization, yet recalling Civil
War Volunteer experiences, the un-
dersigued did not at first expect
much in the way of disciplinary
ideas and practices from these new
officers. Lieut. Wootten, however,
Immediately attracted attention by
bis soldierly bearing and cheerful
perl ormance of every duty lie
stood out before his supeilors the
loyal subordinate, the true com
mander. whose cor ect notions of
discipline were born in him, per-
vading his whole nature, and VIII ose
example contributed powerfully to
the upbuildIng and maintenance of
the regiments reputation in that
trying climate.
1t was natural that such an officer
should be called upon in all exigen-
cies, and while this is true, il also
is true that he always acquitted
himself with the greatest credit.
His service was ever of the hardest
Alas! TOO much was put upon him!
The Seventh Cavalry has been the
training school for gallant soldiers.
But i'll all that proud galaxy there
never has been soul superior in all
military instincts to the youth in
honor of whose memory it's officers
to-day bear upon their arms the
badge of mourning.

The WEB OF LIFE.

We stand at the wheel of life and spin,
And we draw the life threads TO and fro,
And the dark and the light go blending in,
AS the day lights come and the day lights so.
And our feet grow tired of the weary tread,
And our hands grow tired of the endless toll !;
But each human soul must spin its thread,
And wind aud color it, coil on coil
We stand at the loom of life and weave
The garb-that soul must ever wear,
And look at the faded web and grieve
AT the broken ends and the seams of care.
For we cannot see the days go by,
And the wheel whirls in its dull routine,
That we let the ibers all awry,
And that in the web they will all be seen.
But all must stand at the web and spin,
And whether the wool be good or i'll;
The robe that we meet our Maker in
Is woven here at the weaver's mill.
TIE the spirit guiding its work with care
A wiser than he will the web unrolI;
And under the shuttle of patient prayer
Nill the garment shine perfect whole.
