Where Crops Are Gone.
SPRING WHEAT DOES FINE

The continued wet and cold
weather OF last week was not benefi-
cial to the Nebraska grain crop, is
the report that agents throughout the
state sent to the Burlington headquar-
tiers here.
Company agents report precipita-
ton of one to four inches and during
most of the week temperatures of 36
to 48 degrees above zero. These ex-
press the opinion that little growth
was shown by the winter wheat. They
estimate that of the wheat from IS
to IS per cent OF the acreage will
make partial to a full crop.
Spring wheat is reported in excel
lent condition and making rapid
growth. The same is true with ref
erence to oats, of which there is an
enormous acreage.
Potato Crop Large.
The potato crop promises to be
unusually large and most of the fields
are planted.
The former estimate of 50 per cent
of the alfalfa having been winter
killed still holds.
The Northwestern's crop report for
last week indicates too much rain
over Nebraska and the need of warm
weather.
In Northwestern territory it is es-
timated that fully 80 per cent of the
winter wheat and 50 per cent of the
alfalfa has been winter-kiled.
Spring wheat is growing rapidly
and, preparatory to putting a large
acreage into corn, farmers are at
work night and day preparing the
ground for planting
In many localities tractors are be-
ing operated twenty-four hours a day,
operated by two or three shifts. Many

Railroad Tax Experts
Ask Lower Valuation
(From a Staff Correspondent


Lincoln, Neb,, May 7.-(Special)-
The State Board of Equalization held
its first session today.
T. H. Benton, representing the
Pullman Car company, asked for a
reduction of 5 per cent over the as
sessed valuation of last year. Stand
ard cars last year were valued at $751;
596 and tourist cars at $3.50.
He said that the Pullman company
had built no new cars in four years
and that since the war travel in Pull
man cars was much less than ever
before. In his trip from Los An
geles to Lincoln last week, with the
exception OF himself and man with
small boy, there were no other pas
sengers on one car for the entire trip.
R. D. Pollard, tax commissioner for
the Burlington, said:
1.-THE company paid taxes In Nebraska for
the year ending December 81, 1915, amount
ing to $1,104,S74.Ss and for the year end
ing December 81, 1916, the sum OF S1.147,-

Mr.. Pollard produced figures from

Advice upon What toEat

The poisons in man are taken care
Of, if man will do his part. The liver
and kidneys act as the sewage dis
posal plants which separate and throw
off the poisonous accumulations, If
given half chance. But many Of US
should not eat meat more than once a
day. Eat vegetables and what may be
called "roughage" to stimulate bowel
action, such as baked potato with the
hard skin, Graham, rye or whole
wheat bread, onions, turnips. carrots,
even the much slandered cabbage, and
sauernraut. Stimulate the liver into a
thorough housekeeping at least once
a week by taking purely vegetable
laxative made up and extracted from
May-apple, leaves Of aloe, root Of
jalap, into a Pleasant Pellet, first
made by DR.. R. v. Pierce nearly fifty,
years ago, and sold by nearly every,
druggist In the country. To keep the
kidneys clean drink plenty Of water
between meals; also, il you wish to
escape half the ills" which cause
early deaths from kidney disease, af-
fections ofthe. heart, rheumatism and

man or woman should not live to be a

Anuric can be obtained at almost

stores in Omaha within the last
month and stolen $4,000 worth Of
loot.
Inordinate passion for morphine
and cocaine made burglar of him,
he said. After each job his plan was
to saturate himself with dope and
then read what the newspapers said
of his escapades.
Desmond, who is only 20 years
old, has a smooth, round face sur
mounted by shock of black curly
hair. A soft, well-modulated voice
and an innocent look are in striking
contrast with the daring displayed in
his career of crime.
Beneath the floor of Desmond's
room at Twenty-hrst and Charles
streets Detectives Rich and Pszan-
owski found ST 900 worth of the goods
Desmond had stolen. This loot,
which contained FIVE revolvers, was
cunningly concealed under a heavy
rug which covered loose plank. Des-
mond's nightly habit was to pull back
the rug, remove the board and hide
in the space beneath the floor the
fruits of his burglaries.
While Desmond ostensibly lived
with his mother at 5000 Pacific street,
he kept his room at Twenty-first and
Charles streets as his treasure vault.
Robbing drug stores was the boy
burglars hobby, for there he could
get the drugs he craved, he told po-
lice.
George Brown, who was released
from the state penitentiary at Lincoln
last Friday, is implicated in the most
recent burglaries which Desmond
perpetrated. Brown has confessed,
police say, that he was Desmond's ac-
cor:p..~e in a number of jobs.
