- Valparaiso, Chile, the principal
commercial port on the western
coast Of South America, was the VIC
tim of an earthquake disaster last
Thursday and Friday and the situa-
ton Is still being aggravated as the
result of repeated shocks. The first
reports were not published in this
country until Friday afternoon and
they were quite unsatisfactory as to
detail. Some of the stories had 1T
that the loss Of life was In the neigh
hood Of 5000 and there seemed to be
no limit to the value Of property de-
much worse than San Francisco. La
life has been very much over esti-
mated; but there seems to be no
doubt of the fact that the property
loss runs high up in the millions.
The same shock that reduced VAL
paraiso also damaged or destroyed
numerous other South American
towns along the coast, and the de-
struction has been simply appalling.
Valparaiso Is a wide-awake city with
population Of about 10000 people.
The earthquake shock, of course.
produced an indescribable panic, and
the scenes that were familiar in San
Francisco were repeated. The loot
ers were soon after abandoned valu-
ables and 1t was necessary to turn
the situation over to the military.
Numerous thieves have been shot
Thousands Of people have been leav-
ing the city and seeking safety N the
interior. There was no tidal wave
In connection with the earthquakes.
All the cable communications were in
terrupted and because Of the Grip
ton between various South Ameri-
can cities, the getting Of news has
been and still is a matter Of great
difficulty.

WORDS OF PRAISE
FROM PROMINENT PASTOR

Rev. A. N. Stevens, Well
Known Minister of the
Gospel, and Temperance
Advocate, Praises the
Health Giving Strength
ening Powers of Duffy's
Pure Malt Whiskey.
Distinguished preacher, who suffer-

whose case was almost hopeless, is
restored to health by Dufy's Pure
Malt whiskey, after all other remedies
had failed.
l was afflicted with severe throat and lung
trouble. My doctor did not seem to relieve
me, and 1t looked at one time as IL would
not recover. Though L have always been

key was a marvellous tonic and stimulant,

one WOODMAN CASE DECIDED
Supreme Court Denies Mandamus Sought
by State Board of Equalization.
MAIN QUESTION IS NOT PASSED UPON

Ia Given the once.
MAIN QUESTION IS NOT PASSED UPON
From a Stan Correspondent

LINCOLN, Feb. 22.-(SpeciaL without
passing on the right of the state to assess
the reserve fund of fraternal insurance
companies the supreme court has decided
that the State Board of Equalization and
Assessment has no Jurisdiction to hear and
determine a contest as TO the liability TO
taxation of property which the law requires
the county authorities to assess and that
the state board has not invoked the proper
remedy In attempting to mandamus the
county clerk Douglas county to assess
e3,0Oo,0oo of property consisting of the re-
serve fund OF the sovereign camp of the
Woodmen of the World. The court does not
pass upon the right of the state to assess
such property because an appeal case in
which the Royal Highlanders are defend
ants is now pending in which that question
Is involved.
Governor Mickey, relator, applied for
writ of mandamus to compel the county
clerk of Douglas county to extend upon the
tax rolls for taxation the assessed value
Of the personal properties. consisting of
the reserve fund, of the sovereign camp of
The Woodmen of the World. 1t was alleged
that the property in question duly as
sessed for taxation by the county assessor
of Douglas county at an assessed valua-
tion of s4c1. $3.50. The association In listing
iS property Stnted the amount OF reserve
funds, said to be Of the value of s., 10000
was exempt from taxation. This question
is involved in another case now pending in
this court and soon to be heard 1t does
not appear necessary TO the court to de-
termine this question now and the court
therefore considers the case upon the theory
that such funds are taxable under the
statutes, leaving that question for further
, consideration hereafter. The power OF the
State Board OF Equalization is considered.
The syllabus of Chief Justice So1gwck S
opinion is as follows:
The State Board of EQUALIZATION and As
sossment has general direction and con-
troll Of county assessors In the performance
pf their duties. but this does not include
the power to direct them in tho valuation OF
property for assessment nor in Determining
whether or not particular item OF prop
ertv Is asscssahlr.
The County BOARD Of Equalization has
jurisdiction to hear and determine contests
as 10 the liability 10 taxation Of proDerty
which the law requires the county authori-
ties to assess. An appeal lies from this de.
cisiop to tho district court Tho STATE
Board Of EQUALIZATION has no Jurisdiction
OF such appeal.
The anpaal provided by the revenue law
from the decision OF the county board as tC
tho liability cf property 10 taxation Is q
pain. adequate, legal remedy and man
damGs will not lie TO correct errors of the
county hoard in such decisions
No sufticient reason has been suggested
for supposings that this plain statutory

remedy is not adequate, and IL follows that
a plain adequate remedy prescribed by the
statute. This remedy cannot be neglected
and the extraordinary writ of mandamus re-
sorted to- The writ must therefore be de-
MED.
Coney Gets the once.
The supreme court today issued a per-
emptory writ of mandamus to compel
william H. Hyland to turn over to Charles
S. Coney all of the books and records be-
longing to the Office of the county superin-
tendent of Stanton county. The court
holds If Hyland desires to contest the title
to the office he can do so by quo warranto
proceedings. Coney secured the majority
of the votes cast for candidates for this
Office last fall, but Hyland refused to rec
ognize him as county superintendent be-
cause he alleged he did not have a first
grade certificate on the day of election,
though he secured such certificate later.
The court refused to go into the matter
of the title to the office. but held the man
damus prayed for should be granted be-
cause a certificate OF election had been
issued to Coney and the state superin-
tendent had recognized him as the county
superintendent.
Editors May BE Tried Again.
The judgment of the district court of
paper editors who were charged with the
libeling of Thomas j. sheibley. the chair
man OF the fusion campaign committee, is
reversed and remanded and the editors
may have to stand another trial. These
suits are an echo of the first campaign
made by Congressman ]. j. Mccarthy. A
circular was published on the evening OF
election making charges against Mccarthy
William n. Huse. editor of the Norfoli
| News; George l.. Nelson and Franklin D.
Fales, also editors. published statements
| charging that Mr. Sheibley was responsible
| for the defamatory circulars. Mr.. Sheibley
denied the charge and filed suit for $500
damages from each of the editors.
Wife Can Deed Property.
In affirming the decision of the lower
| court in the case of Henry c. JordoI
against Andrew r. Jackson. the suprem,
court today passed upon a question here
| tofore never passed upon by Nebraska
court. The court held that married
woman has the right to sell real estat,
which she owns in her own right withou
the signature of her husband TO the deed
| On this point the court said:
Where married woman owns real es
| tate I'm her own right except when suci
real estate is a homestead in order to con
| vey a good title It is not necessary tina
| her husband should join in the convey
ance.
