Stockholders Do Not Want Mer-
gerjof Companies
A number of Plattsmouth people
will be considerably Interested in a
suit started yesterday in Omaha by
which a restraining order is asked
against E. M. Fairfield, president;
Sherman Saunders and A. D. Marriott-
vice presidents; A. B. Hunt,
Franz Nelson and Charles H. Clancy,
directors, of the Commonwealth In
surance company, to restrain them
from disposing of the assets and
merging the company with the Royal
Indemnity company, an accident In
surance company. The petition Is
filed by Van B. Lady, a director of
the company. There Is said to have
been $30,000 worth of stock In the
Commonwealth company sold in this
city, one man alone taking $9,000
worth it is said. Hence the lo
cal Interest in the matter.
The Commonwealth is a new com
pany being about one year old. It
was organized by Messrs. Lady, Fair
field, Hunt and Saunders and the en
tire stock output of $370,000 taken.
According to Lady the company has
been thriving since Its Institution but
It is proposed by the other officers
to expand the company and take up
accident Insurance. This Lady is
bitterly opposed to and he wants
them stopped before they make the
transfer without his consent. .
Considerable of the capital which
is Invested In the Commonwealth
company Is held by small investors
here, the amounts in many cases be
ing limited to a few hundred dollars
and representing the savings of many
years. It is not believed the company
Is insolvent but the litigation Is very
unfortunate and makes the investors
In this city somewhat shaky about
their money. It is probable some
steps will be taken by the local in
vestors to get together and protect
their Interests in the company and
the litigation which is threatened.

The Main Requirement.
In any disorder which we wish to
corect, the main requirement Is to
look for the cause of it. Once the
cause is removed, order will soon be
established. A good physician al
ways tries to find the cause of the
sickness before he can scientifically
and successfully treat it. If you will
in case of any sickness, look for its
root, you will very often locate it in
the stomach. It will refuse to work
and with it the whole bodv. If von
