LINCOLN Feb 5.-(Special)-If all the

Omaha to Boston, aud the canals now being
constructed, If attached to the west end Of
the line would reach from Omaha to Ogden.

LEGAL QUARREL OVER PROPERTY
Struggle for Possession of Valuable
Envelope Machines

Envelope MBSh1ueS
The participants to the suit of the Car
penter Paper Company against the Western
Envelope Company spent an uneasy night
in the effort to get the contested property
out of the city and in the serving of re-
straining orders for the prevention thereof.
Tho property consists of a considerable
quantity of machinery for the manufacture
of envelopes and his been the object Of a
prolonged litigation.
The machines were or ginaly bought by
the Western Envelope company under a
chattel mortgage for $3,700, which was held
by the Carpenter Paper company. Payments
became due and ii Is claimed were not met
for which cause the Carpenter Paper COM
pany brought replevin suit to regain pos
session of the property. The Western En-
velope company obtained a writ preventing
the plaintiffs from fOreclosng, and as the
company was observed to be packing the ma
chinery preparatory to shipment another
order WIS obtained by the Carpenter Paper
company restraining the defendants from
in any way making over or transferring the
property to ether parties. The next move
on the part of the defendants was to offer
in court the amount of the mortgage with
interest, praying for a release of the goods.
This was gr:nted and permission was
given to Frank r. Nollman Of Centralia, H.,
to load the goods on cars. This was at
tempted shortly after midnight this morning
and a gang of twenty men were put to
work. In this extremity the Carpenter
Paper company was not found without II
weapon and an order was served by At
torney Burbanks annulling the order of re-
lease and leaving the property still tied up.
The matter will be brought up in Judge
SCott's court tomorrow.

There is vast difference between "ad-
Nertlsing Doctors and physicians who ad-
vertise. Under the head OF advertising
doctors are included all that class of un-
princpled and unscrupulous men-usually
uneducated and ignorant-who prey upon
only too we'll known to need description.
They are, as rule, often transient travel,
ing from place to place, irresponsible and
by their plausibllty and cunning eNtort
large sums of money from the poorer classes
and those who can least afford to be robbed.
There are physicians who advertise, genu-
fulfilled all the regular requirments OF
medical study and practice, who have
college and hospital study, and who have
devoted their lives to certain lines OF prac-
tice-confining themselves to these special
lines. Their experience and their study has
them, and they choose the daily papers as
means of letting the public know their
specialties and their success. AS ConsCi-
entious physicians, and as honorable men,
they believe In advertising.
The legitimate advertising of genuine and
most effective safeguard the public mas
against medical frauds and humbuss
Standing in contrast with the advertis-
ments of physicians and specialists, who
give their names their credentials, their
record, VINO OFFER fair and plain evidence of
their responsibility their training, thcir
skin. the advertising of fakirs and medical
adventures is almost printed confession
of their lack of responsibility and their
bogus character BY their very contrast
may the public judge between the genuine
and the pretended.
DR.. Shepard and his associates believe
that If every physician put his name and
credentials in the papers, stating where
and how he practiced, and to whom ne
can refer as to having cured, there would
be less humbug in the practice of medi-
cine. fewer malpractice cases.
Again we saw: don't let prejudice kill you.
