VIADUcT PLAN APPROVED,
Railroad Commission Accepts Railroad
SIue Prints for South Third Avenu

railroad Comnsion Accepts Railroads
Blue Prints for South Third Avenue
The state board of railroad com
missions approved the plans for the
South Third avenue viaduct Friday
and authorized y. S. Ketchum to ar
cept the plans for the commission. Mr..
ketchum did so in the mayors office
this forenoon. The city formally ac-
cepted the plans when Mayor I. S. Mil
lard affixed his signature 10 the blue
prints.
Ii is now up to the city to notify the
railroads that the state railroad COM
mission has approved the plans. This
done, it is then the railroads duty to
file written acceptance of the viaduct
ordinance and contract for the erec-
ton of the viaduct. The Northwes-
tern has already agreed 10 do this.
AS soon as the railroads have fled
their acceptance the project is then
entirely up to the city council to fur
nish the right-o for the structure.
1t is probable that the council will
make one more effort 10 reach an
a greement as to damages with the
abu,ting property owner. If this effort
fails condemnation proceedings will
be begun, Mayor Willard said today.

0oped With Medicine Which Caused

Fort Dodge, Oct. 30.-The campaign
| inspired by petition filed by Fort
| Dodge attorneys in the prosecution of
q case brought against Chicago firm
OF college medical quacks. This firm
| is charged with swindling man liv-
ing near this city out of $425 in cash
| and a 5000 note.
The law firm of Files & Maher filed
the suit in Chicago and their petition
SO impressed reporter for the Chi

! matter to his chiefs, who lad their men
Investigate conditions, and the expos
ures that are being printed are the re-
suit.
Free museums for men only" are
| the entrances to many Of the quack
! medical establishments, it. is said. Men
who walk in out of curiosity while
looking at the plaster casts are ac-
costed by a guide who informs them
| that free consultation rooms are d
part of the establishment. Sometimes
a man calls himself a doctor, accosts
the visitors and informs them they
have the outward symptoms Of some
venereal disease.
Made Victim Think He Was III.
This was the modus operandi by
which the local man was inveigled in
to purchasing medicine and treatments,
according to the petition filed by To-
cal attorneys. He was told he had
certain symptoms and three exami-
nations, each by a different man, ap-
parently confirmed the conjecture of
the first physician" He bought the
first instaElment of medicine and paid
$25. On other occasions, he paid the
same amount for more medicine. The
first purchase was in 1910 and the 9TH
ers up to 1912.
After he had received the third
amount of medicine, he returned
home. Shortly after his return. viru-
lent sores appeared all over his body.
He returned to Chicago and the ply
sicians' shook their heads gravely,
saying they did not want the case but
that he must undergo strenuous treat
ment or he would be dead in forty
eight hours. He took the treatment.
for which he paid 5000. The sore
spots cleared UP and he returned to
Fort Dodge.
Shortly after his return. the spots
again appeared and. much alarmed, he
went back to Chicago. He was given
a treatment of "606" and paid 800 in
cash and gave a 5000 note. Returning
to Fort Dodge, he was examined by
local physicians who found absolutely
no faint of the disease in his blood
He became aroused, and filed suit.
l. The result of the suit appears to
be far reaching. If reports in the Chi
cago Tribune are true. An alderman
recently introduced and had passed a
resolution Of the Chicago city council
directing the corporation counsel to in
vestigate conditions with possibility
Of cleaning UP the medical quacks that
are said to infeSt that CITY.
