3 Cents

Eight cents a pound is
what a young woman paid for
twelve pounds of flesh.
She was thin and weak and
paid one dollar for a bottle of
SCOTS Emulsion, and by TAX
ing regular doses had gained
twelve pounds in weight before
the bottle was finished.
Eight cents a pound is
cheap for such valuable ma
terial. Some pay more, some
less, some get nothing for
their money. You get your
moneys worth when you buy
SCOTS Emulsion.
We will send you a little
free.

There is no disputing the fact
that Governor Davis is the demo-
cratic nominee for governor of
this great, but somewhat abashed,
commonwealth of ours, and we
can, therefore, see absolutely no
reason for the governors friends
in this county making a long cared
donkey of themselves. If the re-
suit of the state convention hinged
upon the action of Independence
county, then there might be some
reason in trying to throw the coun-
tvs delegates in line for Davis.
But as that is not the case, it looks
like-well, like a piece of dam
phoolishness, to be plain about it.

NfMAHA LOST CASE
Church Howe and Friends Must
Tay Increased Tax
THE LAW STANDS THE TEST
Nsnaha District Judge Reverscd and
Action Dismissed, Immediate
Mandate to Issue

The state board OF equalization has
the authority to increase or decrease
the assessed valuation OF counties In
eQualizing the assessment. The SD
preme court has so decided in an
opinion handed down reversing Judge
kelligar Of the Nemaha county district
court In the action instituted by Church
Howe and other taxpayers OF Nemaha
county to restrain the county clerk
from extending an increase Of s per
cent made by the board.
At the adjournment of court the
Judges announced that the decision Of
Judge Kelligar had been reversed. tn.
state board upheld and that the opin-
ion, which is being written by Chief
Justice Holcomb would be Aled with
the clerk Of the court later. The court
was unanimous in its decision. The
controversy over the assessment first
began when the state board was in
session as a board OF equalization.
Other counties adjoining Nemaha were
y~vfindtodul ChurGO thershrdlumfwyEll
assessed on higher valuations than
Nemaha and the board notified the
taxpayers to appear and show cause
why their assessment should not be in
creased to conform with the others.
A delegation headed by Thomas ].
Majors and Church Howe appeared be-
fore the board and objected to a raise
In the assessed valuation, but notwith-
standing It was increased 8 per cent.
The taxpayers then sought by injunc-
ton In the district court to prevent
the extension Of the raise, %contending
that the board was not vested with
power to increase or decrease assessed
valuations In a manner to effect the
grand assessment roll Of the state and
that where an increase was made on
one county another must be decreased
a like amour to not disturb the grand
assessment. The lower court sustained
all OF the contentious of the taxpayers
and the case was appealed by the
county clerk and the attorney general.
In passing upon the matter the su-
preme court holds that the power of
equalization must lay somewhere and
that its vestment in the state board
Of equalization is constitutional. also
that the board has the power to raise
or lower assessed valuations without
regard to the grand assessment roll
Of the state.
In passing upon the case the court
says:
THE court is unanimously Of the
opinion that the judgment Of the trial
court is and should be re-
versed. which is accordingly done. An
opinion will be hereafter Aled. Judg-
ment reversed and action dismissed.
Mandidate to issue forthwith. Reversed
and dismissed"

Fake Doctor Neatly Works Graft on .
Gage County Farmer
II was the same old story. Man with
more money than discretion. Wilke
Jurgens, a German farmer who resides
in Hanover township, near Beatrice,
was relieved Of $50 by a traveller who
represented himself to be one of those
cure-all medicine men. He gave his
name as DIR. Busch. and said he came
from Omaha. Jurgens has a lame boy,
one who has been a cripple for years.
The stranger told him that he could
cure him, and would do so for $3.50.
He drew $50 or the contract, and mixed
some dope, which he left with instruc-
tons as to how to take 1t. Since his
departure, the farmer has begun to feel
that he has been victimized, and as the
state secretary of the medical board
says that there is no such person
licensed to practice In this state. the
fellow is in all probability a fraud. He
stopped at the Beatrice Hotel before
visiting the Jurgens place. and reg
istered from Denver. He is a man
about forty years of age, weight about
16O pounds. sandy complexion, and a
fellow very familiar with his job.

of old soldiers contemplating settling
on public lands:
Information has been received at
the general land Office that design

through Indiana and elsewhere to the
effect that old soldiers were entitled
to enter public lands, particularly in
western Nebraska, and receive patent
therefor without residing or cultivat-
ing the lands, as other persons are re-
quired to do. This report is false.
THE only favor given to old soldiers

Of his service deducted from the five
years which homestead entrymen are

Chairman Taggart at nationsf demo-

following statement:
Shortly after his nomination Judge
Parker set about the consideration OF
his course Of action toward the conduct
OF the campaign. He consulted many
men of large experience in such mat
tiers and made an examination of the
course of every successful candidate.
That done. he decided. as it was neces-
sary for him to do, what his course
should be, and he caused that decision
to be made generally known. 1t was
to the effect that he would not go upon
the stump; that such speeches as he
should deem desirable to make could
be made at Rosemount, following in
that respect the Mckinley precedent of
1896.
That decision made and announced,
he proceeded to work along the lines
he had marked out for himself. He be-
lieved then, as he believes now, that
he decided rightly and no amount Of
entreating would bulge. His record
during all his life proves that clamor
will not move him one iota. The Incl
dent Is closed and those In charge OF
the campaign fully approve Of the de-
termination of Judge Parker"
Judge Parker has been importuned to
speak in various states and the
announcement is designed to prevent
further similar requests.
