( Special to THE JJir. : i The State Hoard of Health was In Cession at Lincoln considering protests fllfid ftgainst tlio granting of certificates to a num- j&er of Omaha physicians. Their names are : Dr. L. SlomlnskI , Dr. JfamA. . Consdall. Dr. Charles f , Sinclair , Dr James McUrow , Dr. W. li. Bolts , Ur. J. P. Wllllami , Dr. Isador Ulncic , Dr. C. W. . Cram , Dr. H , O. Couway and Dr. Isaac Sin- 1 ho hearing of the above named physicians Conn this morning before tlio board , and Dmaha ana Lincoln doctors have been sum- jtioncd as witnesses. All are charged with Snprofessional and dishonorable conduct. Thu tlrst case taken up was that of Dr. Cram. Attorney Clopp conducted the prose- cutlou ana Lawyer Stricklcr was on banu tor the defense. The cases will consume Jpvoral days. A few of Lincoln's physicians were Inter- jstnl spectators. It was rainarked by n number ot persons present that the takl'itr of testimony se raed moro llko an Inquisition than an Investiga tion , as the prosecution was given full lat- fludo to call the defendant a liar and make iny other derogatory statement or scurrilous insinuations wished , wnllo ovorytlmo the de- lense attempted to rebut such ho was promptly Informed that no tlmo was to bo lost In that manner. Throughout the whole faking of testimony prejudice was apparent the reason for tlio previous secret sessions became apparent. OU'IIH Ho Was n Spy. George W. Lower was the llrst witness. Jlo tostlllrvl that when ho went to Dr. Cram's ofllco In company with a friend the Doctor pave him a pamphlet on "Why Did Bliu DIot" The witness claimed tlrst that to had gone * to Cram's oftico for the pur- tosu of consulting him In regard to nls fen , whom bo believed had consump tion. Ho next said that ho went to Cram's ofllco at the Instigation of Pr Wilkinson to got evidence against Cram. /Witness was to have his expenses paid for Jils trouble. i. "Then you went as a spy } did you1 ! asked Btricklor. / ! Lower frowned , shifted uneasily In his seat And llnnlly admitted that ho had gene there for the purpose of getting Information against JUram. Snlil Crnni Wns n. Liar. Dr. D. P. Crummor wa-i called. Ho was ) sltod : "Doctor , what do you think of the published Statement of Dr. Cram that ho has cured 'Jtb ut of 'J-'O cases or diphtheria ! " f "It Is a Ho. From 15 to 20 per cent of all Eases of diphtheria result fatally. " C "What do you think of his statement that Bo has treated thirty-eight casis of spotted Jovor and saved every patlentl" ft "It must bo untrue. In Mow York alone ( ho mortality is 70 per cent. Such a stato- tnent Is made s.mply to catch suckers from po public. " ! "I object to any gratulttous statements , , ' Interposed Cram's attorney. 7 "What do you think of the statement tnat nil cases of heart disease , diabetes ana JJrI > ! ht's disease can.bn curedi" ( "It is not true. They are Incurable , fright's disease is a rotting of the kidneys. " The witness then told how ho had received b letter from Dr. Flint of Bellevue Medical college to the effect that ho bad determined to drop Cram from the alumni rolls qf the pollcco. On cross-examination It developed that the witness had first written to Flint Cram. SVhcu asked why ho had dona fbout said : " ( Jram is u man that micht bo an ornament to the profession , but is a disgrace. I wrote to Flint about Cram on account of a decent pnao In the profession. " "Is not Dr. Cram a contributor to the Medical Standard ! " "I bellovo that ho Is.1- "Havo you road any of his contributions 1" I.ltcr.iry Criticism. "Yes , I hnvo read some of his slush. " "Is not thu Medical standard a reputable Jncdlcnl Journal I" /"Well / , It U a half starved Journal that Is willing to publish almost anything to till up. It is something like the Kansas City Sun. " i "Dutvouaroa subscriber and reader of Itl"Well Well , yes. " "And you think It is not a reputable banorl" "Yes , It Is reputable. " "Did you not write to another paper , known M the Medical Journal , objecting to Dr.Cram yvritlng to that Journal I" " 1 wrote , 'Don't you think .wo have had Dnouch of Cram's stuff I' " "Why did you do this ! " "Becmiso I considered-ono production o ! pis I read onoof the mosthair-bralncd things I over i-oail. U had the least sense to the Jnost words of anything I ever sow in print. " " \ \ hy did you single Dr. Cram out of n bumbt > r of other writers of Mush and pursue him alouol" "Because llfo Is tooshort to go after all of them. " The witness was then asked If he ( witness ) aid not belong to certain modlal and medico- legal societies In Omaha This was objected to , but the attorney declared that it was pertinent because ho wished to provo that this prosecution was bclns pushed by n iocioty Illognlly orcnnlzod for this purpose. The witness acknowledged that ho DclouKCd to three societies , but no further In formation was elicited. Just ThlnlCH So. The witness was asked In regard to the "published statement of Dr. Crnm that ho had cured thh-iy-cipht cases of corubro-splnal IDonlriRltU. Horopllod : "It Is untruo. " "Havo you seen porsotmlly the patients tvhom Dr. Cram claims ho bus cured I" "No , nor I don't want to.- 'So you do not know of your own person al { tnowledgol1 "No , but I ilo not bellovo thnt there U a physician living who has cured thirty-eight consecutive cases ot cciobro-snliml menin gitis. " "Does Cram In tils circular say that these C&sos are consecutive' " "I don't know. " "Havo you any objections to the theories Advanced in that circular. " "No. " nml Tlinrnpnutica Dr. V. H. CofTman was called. Ho declared thnt Jlubetos , HrlRht's disease and heart dls- nso woru Incurable. That iiiuo out of ton cases of consumption cannot bo cured. Wit ness know nothing about Ur. Crnm. Did not know anything about the medical societies of Omaha pushing this Investigation. Did not think that 218 out of ffJO cases of diphtheria could bo cured , Judging from his experience nnd that of the profession. Dr. Cram urosa at this Juncture and oskoU that the witness bo requested to describe tils method of treating dlphthnrla. Ho asked for this because ho had boon called a liar. Ha vrasvlllluu to openly describe his methods ntid compare thorn with these of the men who called him a liar. Ho was \vtlllug to show J that his methods would show the light of dav , rrostdent BcRthol most emphatically put bis foot down on any comparison of troat- njont and declared that no treatment or any disease could bo entered Into. Cram's attor ney on torn ! a vigorous protest. Uecthol , however , declared that no time was to ba vrastod iu ucn a manner. Dr. Cm in 'a Testimony. Dr. C. W. Cram himself was then put on the stand. Ho said that ho bad boon prac ticing medicine between twenty-live and thirty years. That he graduated from Star ling Medical college > n 1S71 and Ueltoruo In 1874. Had done hospital work. For a year vnd a halt had been superintendent 8f the hospital at the Ohio penitentiary , For seventeen years nail confined his attention mainly to chronic diseases. About six or clpht years ago ho ceased entirely practicing obstetrics nod surgery. Had been a con tributor to medical Journal for twenty-ono years. The witness was then atkod by his attor ney : "Have not some of your contributions been translated Intonther languages ! " At this President neghthnl protested nnd declared that that question had nothing to do with the caso. Cram's attorney than arose nnd said : ' 'It Is a sh.imo thnt this gentleman Is forced to coino DRTO In the way ho has , 1 wish to provo that this gentleman Is not a quack. That ho Is a student. That ho Is an honor able member of the medical profession , while J. C. Moore , tao slinking cur who tiled the protest against him has not enough man hood to appear before this board. I wish to provo that this prosecution Is a malicious ono. That the fellow who Inaugu rated It Is a coward , and has not courage enough to maintain hU own charge. " What 'Ilicy Wnnt in 1'rovc. "This investigation Is for the purpose only of proving unprofessional and dlshocoraolo conduct. Not for the purpose of proving his proficiency , " Interposed Bcgbthol , the presiding - siding oDlccr. "Very , well , then , " was the retort. Ucghthol then asxod "Doctor , did you Issue those circulars for the purpose of show ing your superiority over other physicians in treating the diseases mentioned ID the puo- llshcd pamphlet ! " "Yes , sir ; and I can provo my statements If allowed. I can do so on a scientific basis. " That'll do , " said Bcghthol. "You say that you can cure consumption ! " asked Allen. "I have had patients who had consumption nnd cured them. That disease , up to a cer tain stage , can bo cured. I can say the same for heart disease and Drlght's disease. I can sustain all tbo statements that I have mado. " What Dr. iJonnH Known. Dr. A. P. Jonas was called. The state ments made by Dr. Crnm In his circular that ho had cured the above mentioned number of cases wire read und the witness was asked his opinion In regard to tno sumo. Ho said : "A doctor that will make such a statement Is cither grossly ignorant or wilfully perverts the truth. " The witness then declared that If Cram claimed that ho had cured cases of Brlght's disease that ho had told an untruth. "How do you know ! " the witness was asked. "Because I know what Cram knows about this matter. " "Have you over conversed with hlmt" "wo , sir. " "Havo you over read any of his articles about the disease I" "No , sir. " "Then how do you know that you know everything that Dr. Cram does about this disease ) " "Because there are no sccrots in medi cine. " "You have mastered thosubjoctof Bright's disease and know all that Is known about the mutter ! " "Yes , sir. " "Aro you a specialist In that line of prac tice I" "No , sir. " "O , you are notl Well , will you dcclaro that you have mastered all that Is known about tno other diseases mentioned In Dr. Cram's pamphlet ! " "No , sir. " "Yet you are not a specialist in the treat- montof Bright's disease ! " "No , sir , " and the witness grow rod m the faco. Adjournment was then made for dinner , Cram's case being Hmshod. Dr. McGrew's Circular. In the afternoon Dr. McGrow's case was taken up. The entire testimony related to the fact whether or not the circulars issued bv Dr. McGrew wore obscene. The subject of private diseases was entered into at longtb nnd most of the matters discussed , althougn medical , can not bo published. The matter of nocturnal emissions was gene Into at length and Drs. W. II. Christlo and A. S. Van Mansfoldo testllled thnt they were natural , despite the circular * of MctJrow. McfJrow himself admitted that they wore natural. Van Mansfelao declared : "It Is n pity that suctt circulars wore dis tributed. It drives young mm wild with ex citement , thinking that they are sick when they nro not. They are not only unprofes sional , but obscene , dishonorable and crlm- Innl. After reading the pamphlet I can sny that I know moro than the cuss who wrote that. " This created a sensation. Mr. A. C. Troup , attorney for McGrow , objected to such ex pressions. Munslleld than ejaculated : "No language can bo used equal to this pamphlet In criminality. " Kvltloncn ol tlio Accused. Dr. McGrow was then called. Ho testified thnt ho was a gradunto of the College of Phy- slcinns and Surgeons'of Indiana , ilo testified that the statements in his circulars were suostantially correct. That the clrculirs mere merely sent out as a private letter to the numerous epistles received received In quiring in regard to the matters treated. His correspondence was so great that a cir cular loiter became necessary. Ho had never sent these circulars out except in answers to letters. The doctor , however , when asked in regard to the treatment of syphilis admitted that there was no Infallible romcilv , and when bo was asKed why ho advertised that he had a sure euro ho gave up and said : "Well , gentlemen , these two statements I admit do not go together. " Dr. Ijonsddlc ! Taken Up. The case of Dr. Lonsoalo was then considered. Mr. Peattle. managing editor of the \Vorld-Horald , wns the only prosecuting witness examined. Ho know but little about the case cxcont that Uousdalo had coma to the \Vorlfi-Horald ofllco In regard to the charges mndo by n reporter that ho would perform n criminal operation for > . Dr. Lonsdalo was put on the stand and ho declared that ho had not committed nny criminal operation. Story ol' a Partner. The case of Dr. Isador Giuclc was then taken up. Tbo only prosoc-Unjr witness xvas Dr. Wllklrson. Ho testified that ho hud been n partner of Dr. ( Jluclc. That there had been n lawsuit between thorn He then made the astounding accusation that Dr. Uluck bad committed ocrjury by clMmlnir thnt ho had graduated tn March , * } " , when ho had not graduated until ISO from tno Col- lotto of Physlcinrs and Surgeons of Chicago. Ho further stated under oatn thnt Dr. Ciluck had committed perjury In the law suit In the Douglas county dlstr ct court disposed of n few dovs ace 6y a decree tn favor of Dr. Gluck and against Wilkinson. This was all the testimony against Dr. Uluck. The evidence on tbo part ot Dr. Ciluck In refutation of these charges wns then put In. The credibility of Wilkinson ns n witness wns tlrst entered Into. It was shown under cortlllod copies from the records of the Douglas county district court that \Vllkluson In his law suit with Dr. Oluck had sworn In anaflldavittbntDr. Gluck hadf.MOO worth of property bcbnging to him and tbnt Dr Oluck was not n graduate of the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Chicago and that the court found the contrary to these allegations and that Wilkinson owed Dr. Gluck money instead of Dr. Gluck owing Wilkinson , and that the court further found that the accusation against Dr. Gluck's graduation was falso. On this question of credibility It was further shown by these records that Wilkinson had sworn In this suit In March , 1600 , that he had paid a note which ho was scckini ; to use against Dr. Gluck nnd further from these records ho swore upon September 2s , IbOl , that ho had not paid It until August 4 , Is'Jl. These were some of the facts that were brought out to show the credence of the wit ness , Wilkinson. On tlio Other Side. Dr. Gluck Introduced documentary evi dence showing thnt before ho came to Omaha In 18ST ho was a graduate of the College of Physicians nnd Surgeons ot Chicago , and bad been for years before com ing to Onmha professor of optic. ' and of ophtholmlc technics lu the Chicago Ophthal mic college. This was put In rapidly by Dr. Gluck , who seemed from bis manner to bo a man who would not notice these accusations were they not formally ou tile before the State Board of Health. Dr. Gluck also Introduced testimony to show that Wilkinson got Into the employ ment of a commltto of Omaha physicians for tbo purpose of endeavoring to use this em ployment to lend dignity to tnoso accusa tions. Dr. Gluck also Introduced a paper In the handwriting of Wilkinson , dated Mav 27 , 18SS , wherein Wilkinson agreed to work lu Dr. Gluck's ofllco for $40 per mouth under certain conditions and that Wilkinson falling to carry out these conditions was within a few mouths discharged by Dr. Gluck. As shown by the evidence it was immediately after this discharge that Wil kinson commenced ols potty annoyances , the last of which was this accusation which ho succeeded In bringing to tbo attention of the State Board of Health.

NEW Yoiuc , Oct. 21 The Tribune says : There was a report in Wall street yesterday that tbo Cnlcngo , Rock Island & Pacific Railroad company had decided to Issue D per cent debtonuro bonds to the amount of $10,000- 000. This , statement had n noticeable effect on the StocK market In the closing hours nt the stock exchange. It had , however , slight foundation , apparently. It was thought that Usuaucu of bonds would bo nothing like the amount mentioned in the rumor , and friends of the road asserted that none would bo Usuod this year. At the olllco of the com pany it wns said the amount of the mortgage might ba 310,000,000 , but that the Issuance of bonds against It would probably bo limited tea a much smaller figure , nnd would cover only additions to the company's property , in cluding now equipment and now construction. GOOD LUCK , Dr. Price's Cream Baking Powder is often called the Good-Luck Baking Powder. Owing1 to the fact that good luck always attends the use of Dr. Price's , it is not essential to use it the moment it is mixed nor is it required to have the oven always just so , as in the case with ammonia or alum po\vders. It is not luck afte.r all , but the exact accuracy and care exercised in the preparation and combination of all the ingredients of Dr. Price's Cream Baking Powder. Competent chemists are employed to test the strength and purity of each ingredient. Nothing is trusted , to chance. Hence ; it is always uniform in its work. House wives never fail to have "good luck" in mak ing most delicious bread , biscuit , pastry and cakes that remain moist and' sweet. Only Baking Powder that con tains the white of eggs. Dr. Price's Cream Baking Powder is re ported by all authorities as free from Ammonia , Alum , or any other adulterant. In fact , the purity of this ideal powder has never been ques- TQNEB-IILS 116-1 18 S,161h trcet , Sl'KCl M , SALE in. ' 'YAUD3 MANl'r.UTlUEIlS1 UKfllNANTS DKESS GOODS AT HAU * IMMOE.
