WRIT OF ERROR
Confusion Because All Law

fF>om the NEWS Correspondent

Trenton, July 12:-Some confus-
ion has been caused in the state
courts because not all the lawyers
of the state seem to have learned
that a new legal practice act was
passed by the last legislature and
took effect on July 4. The new act
abolished writs of error and yet In
several instances lawyers have fol-
lowed the old law and tried to take
an appeal to a higher court through
the old method of a writ of error. In
all such cases the writs have been
returned with Instructions to the
lawyers that they must proceed &C
cording to the new law.
The abolition Of writs of error ,ap-
plies to all civil cases. In lieu OF a
writ of error, an appeal may be tax
en- in any case in which the appel
ant would heretofore have been
titled to that writ. The new law
provides that subject to rules, the
new appeal shall be in the nature
of a %rehearing upon any question OF
law involved in any ruling, order or
judgment below. The notice of APP
peal must be served on the adverse
party and filed within the time linn
tied for bringing writs of error, and

The American Medical association

The American Medical association
is doing good work in it's war
against, and expose of, quacks and
various patent medicine frauds.
After thorough investigation it has
published, and is circulating,
thousands of pamphlets in which it
gives the names of many of the fake
"medical Institutes" of the country as
we'll as the names of so-called
"cures' for consumption. cancer, etc.
Its aim in so doing is to safeguard
the public against these impositions-
to prevent the people from squander-
ing their money for treatments and
nostrums which are worthless.
Among the so-called "medical insti-
tutes" it cautions the public against
the Heidelberg, the Wisconsin,, the
Vienna. the Copenhagen, the Boston.
In nostrums it exposes the Rupert
Wells cancer cure fraud, Yonkerman's
Tuberculozyne, tuberculosis cure
fraud exploited by horse doctor,
and number of other worthless
preparations which are being palmed
off upon credulous and unsuspect-
ing public. 1t is hoped that the as
ISOLATION will eventually be enabled,
with the aid of the courts, to rid the
country of all such impositions.

'This is the national center for

skating rink in this country, combined
with a great auditorium. Where else
are there better and safer surfaces for
ice boating, and what sport excels
this?
"Where else are there such hills for
tobogganing and sled coasting?
Horse racing on the ice is another
fixed attraction, with skee running
and snow shoeing. Where else can a
winter resort with such opportunities
be found in city of 100000 people
with theaters, music, lectures and
clubs and with fine forests within
walking distance?''

Under the present system of no
regulation and no control, the rail-
roads constantly discriminate in favor
of the big cities. The policy is not
just. It can not be defended upon
any grounds. However, it will con-
tinue to be the policy followed in
Minnesota until the people want it
changed. Prairie Leader.
The big cities contribute quite a
respectable amount annually for the
support of country schools, and if the
one mill state road tax is adopted
and placed upon our statute books
they will contribute snug sum
towards the improvement of country
roads throughout the state, and that
offsets, to a certain extent, the dis
examinations of railroads in their
favor.
