WON'T LOWER THEIR FEES.
Many Physician Admit n Excclicn CO OF he Copeland &c shepard Light
system N thc Great GOOD IL is Doing, u Confess I'M
nbmity 10 Adont Oh snm scalc.

a good many physicians of Omaha. as
elsewhere, new concede the scientific sound
ness of tho Copeland and Shepard theory OF
disease treatment, and the practical efil
cheney of that system as applied to lung.
stomach and kidney troubles. to seated and
severe cases of chronic rheumatism, and all
chronic affections of a catarrhal nature.
They admit that the constant pouring for
ward Of such streams Of intelligent. repu,a-
bic and trustworthy people bearing indl-
Vidual testimony to the uniformly happy re-
suits OF treatment by these physicians
method proves them to be worthy of their
present distinction as highly successful
specialists.
Regarding Drs. Copeland and Shepard's
strong arraignment of the present scale OF
medical charges, and their advocacy Of
lower fees al along the line, the feeling
differs. While admitting the great good
being done under the Copeland and Shepard
light fee system, the majority of physi-
clans seem candidly of the opinion that The
rate of $500 a month. including all medi-
cires, would not be practicable in other
hands, excepting under similar conditions
of a warm, popular support, and consequent
enormous patronage.
The testimony presented every day in the
public press and the hundreds of prominent
citizens. who, from personal investigation
and experience have obtained a cure of
long standing troubles, only goes to show
that when Drs. Copeland and Shepard in
augurated the $500 a month rate they did
so nowing that 1t was right and that the
people generally would appreciate 1t.

Judge Dufie Decides the Shields Case

in Favor of the City.
The test case which was to decide the
right of the special policemen who were APP
pointed by Mayor Bemis and the Board OF
Fire and Police Commissioners last August, tc
collect their salaries from the city, was de-
cided by Judge Dufie in the district court
yesterday morning. The contention of the
city was sustained and the right of the po-
licemen to their pay denied.
The case in question was that Of Martin
Shields against the city. Shields sued the
city for pay for three days service as special
policeman. The case was tried before Justice
Cockrell and a verdict rendered in favor of
the plaintiff. The city took an appeal to the
district court and the attorneys stipulated
that all of the special police cases should
abide the decision in the Shields case.
In his decision Judge Duffie maintained that
the Board of Fire and Police Commissioners
Of which Mayor Bemis was the chairman,
ceased to exist on August 1 when the new
bill went into effect. Therefore that board
was without authority to appoint special
policemen on August 2. He also held that
there was no law or ordinance in which the
salaries Of special policemen were designated.
When the salary Of an official was not
designated it was presumed that his services
were gratuitous, and therefore the special
policemen could not collect a dollar unless
the mayor and council saw fit to allow it.

Henry Keller, nm Old Mnn. Tries to
Get Money Out of His EX-EmpIoycr.
In the superior court yesterday the case of
Henry Keller against George Scherrer, in
which Keller seeks a judgment of 81, 600 as
wages for labor performed by him during
a term of about six years, was tried and sub
mitted to Judge MCGEE. Keller is an old
man, and has been living at the Women's
Christian Association hospital for several
years past, being too weak to support him
self. At the time that Judge Sam Adler
was here, Keller went to him for legal
advice in connection with this case, and re-
tanned him as his attorney. Adler, having
gained his confidence. induced him to turn
over to him 1920, which he had in the form
of a certificate of derosit, "just to keep for
him." When Adler disappeared the money
disappeared with him, and even since Adler
went to the penitentiary in New York Keller
has heard nothing more.
When Keller went to live at Scherrer's
place it was with the understanding that he
was to receive 500 a month and his board
for one year. At the end Of the year he
stayed on, and he had been there for a
period of six years before he was finally taken
sick and sent to the hospital. He claims the
contract went right along through the six
years, while Scherrer claims that for the
last five years he was to receive only his
board and lodging.

Sight and Unseer

For the past two days A. T. Elwell and
Harry Inman have been engaged in selling
unclaimed packages that were in the posses
sion Of the United States Express COM
pany. In very few instances did any one
know the contents Of the package on which
he was bidding, and the element Of uncer-
tainty was one thing that made the bids
come in so fast and furious. One man put
40 cents and pulled out a neatly gold washed
watch and chain. The next package that
was put up looked exactly like 1t, and another
man put up so cents for it. On opening it
he found he was richer by a gross of
homeopathic pills.
w. II. Lynchard bought a lot of wheels
and things that looked AS though they might
have belonged one time to a Kelly motor.
He announces that he will use them as a
basis for a patent clothesline. Judge Me-
Gee pulled out a promising looking package
for rs cents. 1t turned out to be- a book of
%tailor's samples. He will make a crazy quilt
out of the samples and use the book as a
scrap book. r. r. Jones invested a quarter
in a bundle that had a liquid sound when It
was shaken. 1t was a quart bottle of
whisky. He will begin action against the
express company for selling liquor without a
government stamp and then donate the
whisky TO some deserving charitable institu-
tion of the city.
Captain Jake Hess OF the Field club foot
ball team had a joyful sparkle In his eye as
he pulled the wrapper of a bundle for which
he had paid a quarter and saw what looked
like bottles OF liniment. But they were moth
ing but sample bottles OF consumption cure,
and he distributed them among the crowd.

couNrY DEPOSITS TO DE DIVIDED.
II, Il. Hart of the Citizens Bank Puts
Himself on Record.

Himself on Record.
t. c. Dawson, secretary Of the republican
county csntral committee, states that all this
talk about the Citizens bank having won
the last election is absurd. The Citizens
bank may have put money into the campaign
fund, but for all that the county money is
going TO be divided among all the banks.
What we want" said he, lis to get this
bank question out Of politics, and we've lone
it,
While he was speaking E.. E. Hart came
into the clerks office at the court house,
where the talking was going on, and, on
being asked as to his attitude on the ques-
ton, said: I'm as anxious as anybody TO get
the banks out OF politics. OF course, though.
in dividing the money among the banks l
think 1t ought to be divided in proportion
to the party activity of the men connected
with the banks. On that basis / suppose the
Citizens bank should receive about $40, 900
to 5000 given to the state Savings bank
and the Council Bluffs Savings bank. And
you just watch the new treasurer's bond, and
you will see that what l say is rue-the
banks are out of politics."
IF you want to get the banks out Of
politics for good" somebody suggested, why
don't you try to get a bill through the legis-
lature providing that the county funds should
be deposited with the highest responsible
bidder?"
what could I do?" was lawson reply.
1.-THE only way such a bill could be gotten
through the legislature would be by going
down to Des Moines and living there, so as
to counteract the efforts Of the country bank
ers, and most Of the city bankers, to defeat
1t. And | don't feel like doing that"
1.-THE Citizens bank would be about the
only institution of the kind in the state that
would favor the passage of the law, would
it not?" was asked.
That's true" replied Hart. I'm in favor

Charge Of Forgery.

PERRY, la, Nov. 30.-Special Telegram.)
Some extensive forgeries were uncovered
here today, and as a result ]. E. Alpaugh,
secretary and manager Of the Dallas County
Abstract company, is under arrest, charged
with the crime. He was arrested at the in
stance of Cashier Haas Of the Scott County
Savings bank at Davenport. Alpaugh has
made loans for this bank for the past eighteen
months, aggregating about $4,000 OF this
amount about $13, 900 has been secured upon
forged instruments. His plan was to select
some farmer in good circumstances and ex-
ecute a mortgage upon his farm by forging
the names. These instruments were sent to the
bank at Davenport, and a draft payable to
the mortgagor was forwarded to Alpaugh. who
again forged the name and obtained the
money. These instruments were not put on
record. but the recorders certificate was
forged upon them. Alpaugh, being an expert
abstractor and penman, accomplished the
task with apparent ease.
He was arrested on four charges of forg-
ing and uttering forged instruments on John
]. Moore for $4,000. d. Wesley 81, 800 and
w. T.. Nash 81, 400. He waived examination
and his bond was placed at 81, 500 on each
charge, or SIC, 900 on all, in default of which
he was taken to the county Jail. The bank
at Davenport attached all his property, in
Guiding the abstract Office and a drug store
at Abel. 1t also develops that he is local
treasurer for the Marshalltown Building and
Loan association, and that within a day he
has forged the name of James Pierce to a
$500 draft sent by that company for Pierce
as a lean. Several other drafts arrived at the
time, but have not been accounted for. For
some time Alpaugh has had extravagant
habits, and Of late has been drinking
heavily. He has an interesting family, who
will suffer for his criminal acts.
