Famous Specialists Will Make Short Visit to The Riley Hotel cn hotel last evening, coming in to at-
TuesJay, May 31.
Word has been received that the stones and that nothing would save
Chief Consulting Physician of the
United Doctors has decided to pay a
short visit to Plattsmouth and while
here will stop at the Riley hotel,
where he will receive and examine
patients.
The United Doctors are the special
ists whose wonderful cures have
caused bo much comment by the
press, pulpit and the public not only
in Nebraska but all over the country.
Those specialists have founded a new
school of medicine which embraces
all of the good points of the old
schools and leaves out the bad. They
use Allopathic drugs where they are
needed; they use Homoeopathic
irugs where they are needed, and
Eclectic drugs where they are need
ed and in some cases they use a
combination of Eclectic drugs with
Homoepothic or Allopathic drugs in
the same case. Hence the name,
United Doctors they have united the
srious schools and "Isms" of medi
cine to form a perfect system of cur
ing disease.
The United Doctors have many In
stitutes established In the larger cit
ies of the United States. Their Om
aha Institute is located on the se
cond floor of the Neville block, corner
of 16th & Harney Sts., Omaha, Neb.
The object of the United Doctors in
making this short visit to Platts
mouth is to secure a few of
these cases to be only the most diffi
cult ones. They know that if they
cure a few of the worst cases here
that others wlh hear of it and to
their Omaha Institute they will go
for treatment. A cured patient is
their best advertisement.
While the Doctor is at tho Riley
hotel for this short visit on Tuesday
May 31, he will examine all patients
free of charge and give free treat
ment except for the bare cash of the
medicine used but will accept only
curable cases for treatment, as It
would'nt bo good advertising to treat
any cases unless we are sure of cure.
To the cases selected for treatment
a special reduced price will be made.
The diseases treated by the United
Doctors are diseases 'of the nerves,
lilood, skin, heart, stomach, kidney
and liver, Including rheumatism,
paralysis, neuralgia, loss of nerve
'force, goiter, constipation, catarrh,
epilepsy, Indigestion, dyspepsia, weak
hack, bloating, dropsy, eczema, scro
fula, diseases of women and diseases
of men.
The dallies throughout the coun
try are continually' publishing re
ports of the wonderful cures that
have been made by the United Doc
tors. Recently an account was given
in an Omaha paper of the case of
Mrs. M. Bradford who lives on R. R.
No. 3, South Omaha, Neb., In which
she says in part:
"Ten years ago my health began
to gradually fall and I grew worse
until I was confined to my bod half
of the time with terrible pains in my
stomach and bowels and violent vom
iting. For years I did not know what
a well day was. Could eat no food
that other people atrt. Could get
neither sleep nor rest on account of
the awful suffering. I tried all the
physicians in reach, but only got
worse until a counsel of my family
physicians' decided that I had gall
my life but an opperation and the
surgeons could not promise even an
operation would relieve me or save
me.
"About one year ago I began to
hear accounts of the wonderful work
of the United Doctors In gall stones.
With death and the surgeons knife
Blaring me In the face, it seemed that
I ought to see them anyway.
"After a careful examination they
pronounced the case gall Btones and
said they could relieve me at once
and cure me permanently. I thought
that for such results their price would
be very high and I would not be able
to take their treatment but I found
them kind and considerate. Their
price was a reasonable one. One
fee paid for everything, including
the medicine, until I should be en
tlrely cured, regardless of how long
it took
"Now, for over six months I have
not had an attack of my old trouble.
I can eat anything I want and my
digestion eems as good as ever. No
more vomiting spells. No more awful
pains. No more morphine from the
family physician. No more starva
lion. I owe my recovery to the Unit
ed Doctors and to them only. They
have cured me. Since I have been

simply because their doctor has failed
to iylp them. It must be remembered
that this system of medicine has

further interview with Blunt about
the matter but he was not then to
be found. A similar quest for Karnes
also resulted in the discovery that,
he, too, had vamosed or could not be
located. Blunt was traced to the
Burlington station where he was dis
covered to have taken a trip Into
Iowa, just why is not known.
The officers are comment they will
be able to locate the owner of the
goods, the railroad having been noti
fied of the discovery and that when
this is done the location of the thieves
will be asy. The story told by
Blunt does not sound at all good to
the officers Just now but they are
open to conviction and would like to
have him come back and talk longer
about it as there are some things
they want cleared up. His tale of
rinding the cache in a ravine in the
hills might be true but it did not
impress the officers as being the real
essence of truthfulness.
Blunt does not bear the best of
reputation with the police and the
sheriff's office. He has served a term
In the reform school and also has
been in the penitentiary according
to Chief Rainey and for this reason
his "discovery" is looked upon some
what askance. He has also injured
his own standing by his sudden de
parture for parts unknown. Karnes
does not stand the best in the world
with the officers either, although he
has not the bad record that Blunt
has. ' It is possible he might be able
to explain his connection with the
case to them satisfactorily if he
would come up and talk.
The robbing of box cars along the
Missouri Pacific is said to have been
very frequent the past several years
and In a number of cases, the parties
have been caught but conviction is a
very difficult matter owing to in
ability to prove jurisdiction as to
where the robbery was actually
committeed. The company is making
desperate efforts to break up -the
practice and undoubtedly will take
up this case with interest If the
goods can be identified as part of
their shipment.

I
Oil know, children," snld daddy to Evelyn and Jack, "that in the city
there are very few birds save In the parks. City life does not agree
with most birds, and even if they happen to wander Into tho city
they do not stay there very long. Once In awhile tho city papers
tell ns on Interesting thing of tho finding of a song bird in the city.
"There Is one sort of bird, however, of which there Is a-plenty lu the city.
That is the little brown English sparrow, which fills the streets and makes
Its nest In trees nud on roof tops. Some of tbe'clty people like the sparrows
and feed them, but some of them think the little birds are a nuisance. Your
Uncle John thinks so. Near his bedroom window there is a large tree., and
the sparrows gather there early every morning in the spring and make so
much noise with their chirping that they wake him up.
"There is one family iu the city that Is very fond of all birds. They have
a parrot ui:d a canary In cages, and they feed the sparrows every day. la
the morning the mother takes all the breadcrumbs they have and other scraps
of food and throws them to the sparrows. The twittering and chirping around
the house Is something that can be beard a long way off. There is one spar
row, a little larger than most of the others, who Is sure to be seen there every
day, ready to get bis share of the crumbs nnd to flslit with any of the other
sparrows who tries to push him away. '
"Not long ogo the little girl of the family coaxed this sparrow with crumbs
to come into the dining room. It was very amusing to see the little brown
bird make himself quite at home in tho house as though he really belonged
there Instead of out lu the street with tho other sparrows. He whs getting
along splendidly when suddenly bo looked up and saw the canary in a cage
near the window of the room.
"Nothing would do this pparrow but to fly up to the cage and see wbut
sort of a bird was locked up in the pretty brass house. But when he got near
to the cage it was plainly to bo seen that he and the canary bird would never
be friends. When tho llttlo yellow bird In the cage saw the little brown bird
outside he rutlled up his feathers and went quite close to the bars of the cage
and tried to peck nt tho sparrow. It seemed as though he was very Jealous
of the sparrow and wanted him to leave the room.
"Now. sparrows are very bold birds, as a rule, and are not afraid of any
thing. But they really are afraid of canary birds, and as soon as this sparrow
aw that the bird In tho cage was quite willing to fight with him he flew
down and out of the open window. Then tho canary began to sing. .
"Since that time the llttlo girl has never been able to coax the sparrow info
the rooiu." - . . .
