If physician has devoted lifetime to
the study of a special class of diseases,

my studies in the most prominent hospitals

get abreast of the times, but ahead of them
if possible. How well l have succeeded
let the. thousands who come to my Office

81 presume you have many testimonials
of cures effected?''
Yes, drawers full of them. If l deemed
1t necessary | could publish in your paper
almost Dumberless eases of wrecked man

what are your specialties, doctor?"
Il treat private, chronic and nervous

The morning call., 1894-09-09

Railway Company to pay or. guarantee as
rental a sum sufficient to pay the interest
on these bonds was of that character and
made only with such purpose that it could
at any lime be Cancelled by the mutual
consent of the two companies aud the
holders of the bonds would be without
remedies to prevent such cancellation.
Further, there was no agreement whatever
on the paIt of the Northern Pacific Rail-
way Company to pay or provide any funds
for the payment of rentals or for the pay
ment of these bonds. 1t cannot therefore
be said that the Northern Pacific Railway
Company has paid any interest on the
bonds that have come into the hands Of
the Oregon Transcontinenlal Company.
Ii this were suit or p breeding On the
part of the Northern Pacific Railway TO
set aside the assumption Of the Chicago
and Northern Pacific lease, the master
hardly thinks it could compel the parties
who had received the proceeds of the chi
cago and Northern Pacific bonds to ac-
count therefor. Ii his conclusions are
correct he continues. then Mr.. Oakes, as
an officer of the Northern Pacific Company,
had no duties to perform in relation TO the
Chicago and No thern Pacific bonds nor
their proceeds and was not bound to inves-
tigate the transactions in the sale Of these
bonds.
The next finding is that the Northern
Pacific Company loaned tue Oregon and
TranscOntinental Company through the
Wisconsin Central Company under agree
ment Of January Ii, 1890, sums amounting
in tie aggregate to $3.75O,00O, which were
all paid back with in crest al per cent on
the 26th day of June, 1890, and that the
Northern Pacific before suffered no loss or
Injury by reason of the loan.
The next and last question considered is
whether In respect 10 the lease of the
Chicago terminals to the Northern Pacific
Company an exorbiiaDt or improvident
rental was agreed to be paid, or whether
the same was so exorbitant or improyident
as 10 indicate nOnfeasance or misfeasance
on the part of Mr.. Oakes in the discharge
of his duties as an officer and director of
the Northern Pacific Railway.
The finding as to that is that the rental
agreed to be paid by the Nor hern Pacific
Railway Company for its lease of the
Chicago terminals on April l, 1890, was
not exorbitant or provident, and tn at
Thomas T. Oakes was not guilty of any
misfeasance or nOnfeasance as an officer
or director of the Northern Pacific Com
pany in respect TO said lease.

UNINTENTIONAL BIGAMY.
There Is a Great Lot of 1t Now in
Oklahoma

GUTHRIE, o. T., Sept. 8-A deci ion of
the Supreme Court of the Territory to-day
nuliies all divorces granted by Probate
Judges of Oklahoma since March, 1898.
There. have been fully 400 such divorces.
A large percentage of The persons so
divorced have married since and are guilty
OF ligamy.
The decision which was handed down
by the Territorial Supreme Court will
make much trouble to those who were
granted divorces by the Probate Court,
holding that it had no power to grant
divorces.
Judge Scott dissented from that opinio
and an appeal has been made to the Su-
preme Court of the United States. The
sLegislature passed an act in 1890 giving
Probate Courts ea ual jurisdiction with
District Courts in granting divorces, which
act was ratified by Congress. The Supreme
Court holds that this is contrary to the
organic laws, as lawyers claimed that the
ratification of Congress abrogates the or
ganic prohibition.
Divorce applicants will now have to ap-
ply to the District Court Those divorced
In the Probate Court. many of whom have
married again, will have 10 reapply and
get second divorce. Those remarked
are apparently bigamists ami their off pring
illegal. 1t will take a special legislative
act to legaliZe them.
