jacobson Begins Skirmish.
Mr.. Roberts had already slipped in an
amendment relieving bankers from the
necessity Of disclosing their depositors
and the amounts of their deposits. ana
the fixing was going along sWimmingly
when jacobson smelled rat. The allie
nation of part of his forces was too
plain and he began a lively skirmish to
frame up flying wing to secure a re-
consideration of the vote which adopted
the Wallace amendments. He was not
meeting with the most 1attering success,
when the fight suddenly took another
turn and the Wallace amendments were
dropped like hot cakes for the time, and
Jacobson and Roberts were engaged in a
merry war over the public service cor
porations. This time Jacobson won, and
he will probably try to retrieve his fallen
fortunes on the Wallace amendments by
reconsideration this morning.
Mr.. Roberts suddenly blossomed into
the warmest kind of an advocate for the
public service corporations, to the in
members, who have listened with rapt
attention to Mr.. Roberts ratings at the
corporations. Mr.. Roberts had an ap-
parently innocent little amendment to
insure fair treatment for the street
car companies. Mr.. Roberts little
amendment left loophole for the street
car companies to deduct, in determin-
ing the value of their franchise for tax
alton, the original cost of all improve
ments. The amendment was SO worded
thta discarded rails, old cars, scrap iron
and other worthless impedimenta, beside
the cost of renewal of roadbed or equip
ment made through the sale of bonds,
could be deducted.
Mr.. Roberts came to. the front with
a strong argument for the street car
companies on the ground that they were
not being treated as other corporations
He said when they build new cars to
replace the 'bobtail' arrangement, they
are performing public service and
should be given credit for it, or if a
power house is blown up and they spend
large sum in replacing it, that, also
in fairness, should be credited to them.
Mr.. Jacobson Joined issues with Roberts
in manner which precIuded the neces-
Slty of ballot. When the statesman
from Lac, qui Parle got through >ith
the subject the Roberts amendment was
IN a bad way, and quickly slenced by
viva Voce vote. Mr.. Jacobson said if
the companies were allowed to take from
their assessments the value of all moneys
spent by them, the result would be that
they would escape all taxation He sug-
gested to Mr.. Roberts that if it were
fair to allow the street car comphny
to deduct the cost of a new power
mousse it would be equally fair to al
| low the farmer to deduct from his as
/ sessment the cost of a new house built
to replace one destroyed by fire. He per
tinently called the attention of Mr.. Rob
erts to the fact that individuals are
taxed for the improvements they make
not credited with them, for the purpose
of evading taxation.

WASHINGTON. Feb, 2O-The Repub-

conference this afternoon on the subject
of Cuban reciprocity, and, although the
conference went over without action I'M

This proposition was brought forward
by Representative Long, of Kansas. and

PA|NE'S CELERY COMPOUND |Hl!nn
Makes Nerve Fibre and Nerve Force. CIeanses
the Stood and strengthens and Gives Tone
TO Every Function OF the Rody.

q
"As medicine for doing immediate and
effective work in sickness, resulting from
impaired nerves and impure blood my
family considers your Paine's Celery
Compound withouts a peer" cit strength
ems and gives a tone to the system. ?
TT has saved many a doctors BILL
So writes J. j. Donahue, Chief of Po-
lice of Omaha, to the proprietors of this
never-failing remedy. Paine's Celery
Compound makes nerve fibre and nerve
force, and imparts true health to body
and brain. 1t is the only known positive
cure for nervous prostration, resulting
from business responsibilities, irregular
habits and overwork
Paine's Celery Compound is the one
great remedy for dyspepsia and weak
nerves. Dyspepsia is caused by acute in
fiammation of the nerves centered about
the stomach. Palpitation of the> heart
dizziness, cardialgia and distention Of
the stomach are common in dyspepsia
Languor and irresistible drowsiness are
certain symptoms.
Palne,s Celery Compound keeps the
muscular walls Of the stomach in igor
Gus action until the process of digestion
is made complete. It restores energy,
gives renewed vigor to all affected parts,
checks dizziness and allays heartburn.
1t is a safe and reliable cure for ncr-
vous dyspepsia.
Paine's Celery Compound will build up
weakened and inflamed nerves, keep the
stomach, liver and kidneys in healthy ac-
ton and make mind and body healthy.
1t is the greatest reconstructant of the
nervous system known to medical sci
ence. It permanently cures nervous ex-
haustlon. It is particularly efficacious
in all cases where the afflicted are
worn OUT and run down.
If you have the first symptom of fail
ing health, if you are conscious that
something is wrong, that you lack
strength, if the buoyant feeling of per
feet health does not return after each
nights sleep, it is time to give the
nerves and blood the food that Nature
requires. Paine's Celery Compound is
rightly called Natures mediaine. Medi-
cal science has failed to produce its
equal as nerve tonic and Vitalizer. IT
purlhes the blood, restores to healthy ac-

THREE CHILDREN KILLED
EXPLOSION OF BLASTING POWDER
RESULTS FATALLY.

oWINGSVILLE, KY, Feb. 2O.-Three
children of John Thompson were in
stantly killed and another and the moth
er were fatally injured tonight by the
accidental explosion of a key of blasting
powder. Thompson was moving, and a
key of powder was among some things
he put in the kitchen temporarily. The
children were rather cold, and a fire
was started in the kitchen stove.
The children were playing around the
room, and in some manner one of them
dropped coal of fire in the keg of
powder. Instantly there was terrible
explosion and the roof was lifted from
the room. When the smoke had cleared
away three little bodies, mangled beyond
recognitian, were picked up, while the
mother and another child were more dead
than alive.

TINKERINC THE TAX CODE
Continued From First Page.

continued FROM FIRST rage
over for strategic purposes, but it alien
ated many Of the friends who were
at no time strong enough to carry the
bill and who are now left in a rather
deplorable situation. The farmer friends
of the bill argue that if the drastic and
tnquisitorial features of the bill are re-
moved, personal property will escape tax
alton. City real estate is assessed very
near its full value, and according to their
lights the farm lands will have to stand
the burden of the raise in valuations.
This argument was not combatted by the
element out to kill the bill at any cost,
and many of the farmers assumed an
uneQuivocally hostile attitude They say
that if the Wallace amendments cannot
be killed they will vote against the bill
as a whole.
The attitude of the alienated friends
was tipped to Jacobson and the house
by Mr.. Sageng, Populist, who vigorously
attacked the amendment. He said: Il
have refrained from participation in this
tax controversy because it is foredoomed
to be a dismal failure. The alleged tax
reform for which this session was called
is headed off by the unholy spirit of
compromise, which is running rampant
through this body. The men who stand
for this compromise, stand as the knights
and champions of the tax dodgers, who
should be more accurately, if less euphon-
iously called tax thieves. If 1 break into
the county treasury and steal 4-,OO0 l am
a criminal. The man who lies out of the
payment of his taxes, defrauds the gov
eminent. He is no less a criminal and
an enlightened community should so con-
slider him."
Peterson FavOrs Amendments.
James A. Peterson, Hennepin, jacob
sons first lieutenant, made a speech in
favor Of the Wallace amendments on the
ground that while they effected compro-
mise there were still most of the good
features Of the bill left. Mr.. Sageng paid
his respects to Mr.. Peterson, along with
the amendments. He said: 'The tax
dodger must be taught to understand
that behind the government is the strong
arm of the law which will compel him to
pay his honest share of the tax. You are
passing law to encourage the dishon-
est and the criminal. We are told by the
brilliant gentleman from Hennepin (sS-
terson) that the adoption of the Wallace
amendments will do much harm; that
there is lots of good left, and that the
objectionable drastic and inquisitorial
features are removed. Why, in the very
nature of law, every law must be drastic
and inquisitorial. Some of these gentle
men pretend to advocate an income tax
law. Do you believe them? We could
not have an income tax law that was
not drastic and inquisitorial in its nature

amendments stand here as the apologists
