i Burlington Starts it.
Led ' "by .the Burlington the other
roads haye been forced into line , the
Northwestern as well as the indepen-
dent roads which do not have roads
i
I west of the Missouri river. These
line's are . the Illinois Central , Great
I .
I t \i. , estectt and' . Wabash. . Regardless of
I the fact that it was to the interest of
I the' weaker : lines to maintain thf- old
rale- . they were forced into line by the
i , iron hand of some power higher up
and have entered the conspiracy to
I t place every stock grower jn Nebraska :
at . disadvantage by assisting to de
I stroy : the "near markets" afforaed by
South -Omaha and , Sioux City.
; ! . .These ? two markets ! : "out on the Mis-
j souri" ! " have forced the prices up be-
t c'aiuse of the competition they offered. .
I' , - , have maintained , the "open door
. . p.o.Ucyv and now the railroads make ' .
an advance in rates which causes an
e'xtra'S10 to be levied against every
car"o'f ; dressed meats leaving South
Omaha or Sjou.x City , thus placing
them at a disadvantage. . i

Railways Want Money.
The only reason ' 'given by the rajl-
roods' Jcr tightening the monopoly and j (

, they Jieed the extra money which will '

South. , Omah1's'Good . . Pit es. .
For : twenty-five yer.rs Xeciaska : : haf
been workii g to build up such market
as South Omaha and Sioux City bot
for the con enience and profit of the
western . stock . grower. That . these
markets have been a boon to Nebras
ka is shown by tha fact tiat 5,458,125
. head of live stock : : : were sold in South
Omaha last year. Not a car loat'
, Would have been , sold in South Omaha
ff the farmer could have received as
.
much for i . . c ' rtcck on any other mar
ket. Now the railroads have practic
ally ordered the closing of the mar
kets on the Missouri river. There
will be no choice , unless ! the rate is
I replaced ] , except to accept whatever
is offered by the eastern markets.
Stockman's Profit Swallowed.
The markets close to Nebraska
farms are responsible- the goon
prices and fair profits which stocL
.
men realized on their live stoclr. These
profits will now be. swallowed up by
higher freight rates , shrinkage and
low prices offered by eastern markets
I when they have no competition on the
i Missouri river , and stock is hauled a
j long distance from , the feed lot.
{ The railroads want the long haul -
when they get live stock on board they
want to haul it to the end of their
lines if possible. They advance the
rate on the finished "product to such '
an extent that the western markets
cannot slaughter it and ship it east at
! a profit.
! If the stock must be shipped to Chi
I
cago for slaughter , some one must pay
the freight on the product when it
comes bacK. : The railroads thus get
a real double assessment levied on
the people in the territory west ; of
the Missouri river. If Nebraska , , hogs
are butchered in Chicago no one but t
the Nebraska farmer pays the freight. I
, Then if he buys hams and bacon , he
1 pays the excessive freight on the back '

, ben made 'Hi ' theSe : columns that
. the JCbief ( "Consulting _ ' Physician of
.the' 'Unitea. ' ppctors : who have
their permanent 'Nebraska ' Insti-
tute located " ' on/the second floor of
the Nevi.lle Jbloclc , corner ot 16th
and Harney streets , Omaha , Neb. ,
would pay a short visit to the
Donoher hotel : at , Valentine , the
question lraf' 1 bee asked _ many
times : , Who - are. the United Doc
'tors and' ' what ' : lothey do ? The
answer is this : \
The United Doctors , as the name
implies , 'is an asso'ciation ofex -
pert medical specialists who have
united to organize a new school of
mediciriea ; new and more scien-
tific and positive system of curing
human ail'ments" For centuries ,
the world has jbeen ; full of differ-
ent "cults" and "isms" of medi" :
cine. We had the , old root and
herb doctor 'with his bitter potions ,
the Allopath with calomel and
quinine in heroic doses ; the Elec-
tric without his calomel ; the osteo-
path and the Christian Scientist
\Ve were doctored. by heat , by
electricity , by baths at the ' hot
springs and by . . a multitude of men
and methods. ' Some of the pa-
tients were'cured , some died who
should have been cured' It ' . was '
impossible for the ordinary ' per
son to say which method of treat- :
Ing diseases was. best , and "the -
physicians of the various scho6ls '
were so biased . that they could see
good only in their own methods ;
all others were , necessarily bad. :
Evidently there is good in all-of
them , for they all cure some cases' ,
also , there is bad in all 1 , for they-
all ! failed at tiraesf : ! , and . , ' ' allowed .
misery to remain or death'to come
where cure should have been ef -
fected. ' : "
A treraenduous stride-forward '
'was made , when the association'of
the United Doctors was formed.
The founders of this association
consisted of erninetnb specialists
from the various schools of prac =
tice. Eclectrics , Homeopaths , A1J
lopaths , Regulars and Irregulars- '
met and agreed to drop their pre'f '
judice and form a Tiew- = system . of
treatment , whi'ch , " wouldAembrace
all the good pojritsYof j i the old'meth , = I
ods and ] e n'e' .out the bad. The.
result of the efforts . ' , of - these world' '
specialists of the various schools , '
was the wonderful treatment now
being used by the United Doctors.
AH of this was not accomplished
in ' a day or two , but has taken
years of patient work by these
specialists in their great institu-
tions in the east ; .Homeopaths ,
Eclectrics , Allopaths , all working
side by side , each throwing away : ;
his old ideas when he was con : I
vinced there was something better ,
until at last out of the old chaos
and confusion , came the new and
perfect system , as it is now used
by the United Doctors.
The cost of these specialists was
great not only in the labor of
forming the new system of treat-
ment , but also jn the effort it costs
them to ignore'their prejudice in
favor of the various schools in
which they were originally edu-
cated. But their record has been
great in health and happiness re
stored to hundreds and thousands
who were going to their graves in I
misery , pronounced . incurable br.l. :
old methods. ,
The wonderful new system ofl j
medicine has cured thousands of
cases of chronic diseases of the
liver , kidneys , skim I heart , lungs ,
bowels and stomach , including
rheumatism , paralysis , neuralgia ,
appendicitis , gall stones , piles ,
goiter , rupture , diseases of women
and diseases of men , which had
been pronounced incurable by.
other doctors.
Mrs. T itha Carr of Papillion , , I
Nebr , says four years ago she had r
a nervous break-down , including J j
rheumatism , stomach and bowel
A good rain Monday : night and
a snow Tuesday night settled the

life result of that operation con-
fined her to her bed for eight
months. When she left her bed ,
her neighbors took her to the
United Doctors' office at Omaha.
In six weeks from that time she
says : ' "I feel better than I have .

with his home doctors , those in

ones in St.- Paul , Minn. : He took
I the hot baths in Lincoln , Nebr. ,
I and even went clear to Hot

him . no relief. : In speaking of his
. dase he says : "I went to the
I , United Doctors. . . They told me
I niore about myself and disease in '

i -tbrs put together in all the years
before. , _
"Now my stomach gives me no

ever"was in , my life. : When I
commenced treatment with you , I
. was barely able to walk , such was
the pain I had. Now after taking
! . your : treatment for five months , I
enjoy perfect health. "
' Mrs. > Alice Griswold of 1619
Frederick St. , Omaha . Neb. , says
r [ she had , appendicitis in a very se-
I'Vere form. She djjd ; _ , - not believe
she could be cured without a sur-
.jgiearopVration , But took th'U nit-
I ; ecl Doctors . , , treatment ? with little . .
hope. After the first two or three
: doses she began'to feel jbetter and
in less than a month was entire ly
cured , and has had no return of
the trouble since. .
, These people were cured in . their
own homes , without surgical op
eration and they are only a few
out of the thousands who have
been cured by the United Doctors
at their various Institutes through- I
out the United States. These I
specialists have hundreds of testi- t I
monials from cured patients on I
file at their offices. Anyone inter-
ested in any particular disease can
secure the names of patients who
were cured of that disease by
writing to the United Doctors at I
their Omaha Institute. There
testimonials are from responsible .
people of Nebraska , and were
given voluntarily out of the grati-
tude of their hearts , so you ca ; 1
believe implicitly what they tell
.you. .
.you.It is this wonderful all home
treatment that the United Doctors
are bringing to Valentine on Fri-
day , April Sth , and Saturday ,
April 9th , and to Wood Lake on
Thursday , April 14. * .
If you are skeptical , write to
the United Doctors for the 'names
and addresses of patients whom
they have cured and you will be
furnished with as many as you
may desire to investigate.
Remember the United Doctors
will be here but two days and
while here will receive patients at
the Donoher hotel. t
If you are sick and suffering
and want to be made well and hap-
py , call on the doctor when he
comes to Valentine or Wooklake.
