SAUNDERS HAS THE FLOOR
Argues Against Reassessment of
Sewer Tax Against Property
that Has Been Sold.

The time of the city Board of Equalza-
ton was taken up Wednesday morning by
the arguments of Attorney W. A. Saun-
ders against reassessing number of old
sewer districts in which taxes were
knocked out by the courts. Mr.. Saunders
chief plea was that some of the property
has changed hands since and the new pur-
chasers obtained the sewers but had no
idea they would be called upon to foot
the bills. In the absence of City Attorneys
Breen and Herdman who are attending the
supreme court at Lincoln no action was
taken and the board adjourned to meet
again Thursday morning at l o'clock.
The action Tuesday in overruling the
protest to the plan for the paving on
Twenty-fifth street from California to
Dodge. was rescinded. and the plan re-
jected. A new district will be made to
include additional territory.

E-TREASURER s1 "a WISCONSIN
Uses Pe-ru-na In Ills Own
Family as a Catarrh
Remedy.

~EO. w. HONEY Ex-Treasurer of the
In State of Wisconsin, is man of wide
- acquaintance and extensive experience.
He has used Peruna In his own family
with the most gratifying results
He gives 1t unqualified endorsement as
an efficient catarrh remedy.
1t is just such testimony this which
has given Peruna a RICH standard in the
estimation OF the American public.
There is no possible way TO gainsay
such frank and genuine testimony.
The only way to account for such testi-
mony is the fact that Peruna really does
what is claimed for 1t.
Because 1t relieves catarrh, it clears the
way for Nature to
pE.RJI.NA re-assert her sway
over the physiologi-
Inc Reliable cal forces of the
Catarrh Remedy body and thus rid
- the system OF a
great many different chronic diseases.
Catarrh' is the stronghold of lingering
diseases. Once rid the system of catarrh
