TO FIGHT INSURANCE LAW.
Foreign Companies Will Enjoin Omaha
CITY Tax

OMAHA.-Foreign fire insurance
companies doing business in Nebraska
will attack the validity of the insur-
ance sections of the new revenue law,
and Attorneys Greene, Breckenridge
and Kinsler, attorneys for the COM
panies, will enjoin the Omaha city tax,
which will be levied on February 2.
The supreme court of Nebraska last
month decided that the new revenue
law, as a whole, is valid, but intimated
that single sections might be attacked,
if deemed inequitable.
The ground for the attack upon the
tax levy will be that section 5S, un-
der which the assessment and levy
are made, is void because the fire in
surance companies are discriminat
against, contrary to the constitution,
which requires property taxes to be by
valuation, and uniform.
Should this section be held consti-
tGtional, the old law will not thereby
be revived, but foreign fire insurance
companies will be taxed under section
12 of the new law which relates to
the assessment and taxation of per-
sonal property, and which provides
that it shall be assessed at 20 per
cent Of its actual cash value.

to be superior to any other brand,
but because each 10c package con-

In a few months it was filed. Accord

with a few pebbles to hold them in
place, one large bulb, or two small
ones to each dish. They need not be
set away in the dark, but until the
roots begin to grow well down into
the water they will not want the full
light. Any place in the room will do,
away from the glare of a window.

GREAT LACE REVIVAL
IN ENGLAND

There will be a great revival In the
wearing of lace this season, owing to
the fashion set by Queen Alexander
and Queen Margherita of Italy, says
the London Mail
Paris shops, taking their cue from
royalty. are filled with lace goods Of
every description. In turn our own
buyers are flooding the country with
heavy importations of the various
makes of lace which will lend them
selves to the fashions OF the season.
Owing to the encouragement of the
Queen and Viceroyalty in Ireland,
modistes the world over have given
precedence to the beautiful Irish point
and crochet lace.
The wearing of the mantilla has also
produced a demand for the Maltese
and Spanish laces, and the Egyptian,
Persian, and Armenian scarfs.
Lace designs by Giovanni di Udini
and other famous Italian artists are
still in existence, and are now being
revived for the use of the modern
woman.
So great is the craze for old lace just
at present that women of business
instincts are lending valuable pieces
which have come to them as family
heirlooms to their vainer sisters for a
sum of money that greatly enhances
their bank account.
