A MYSTERIOUS MEDICAL MAN , Facta About a Peculiar Physician Given to the Public. DR. POWELL REEVES' RECORD. The "Well-Known Specialist" Proves to Ho a. Ijttcntry 1irate unil K Man With More Than One Name. Points For Patients. Some years ago when Omaha was Infested fcy a lot of quacks and medical impostors , the UIE : ventured n cleaning out of the frator- fcity. That it succeeded in an eminent do- grco is well remembered. "Dr. " Mumey , \vho had Jngiatiatcd himself among numer ous mule and foinnlo dupes , played a big role tor a inno. When exposed by the Hut : ho sued the paper for f 10,000 damages , but in stead oC pushing the suit bu quietly folded bis tent and stele nwuy to a more congenial vlhnc. Nextcamo Dr. Aid rich , who placed a 'jnonumontal marble slab in the Funium trcot otduxralU. Ho appeared to bo u good und pious man , and from Ids victims' money lie contributed most gcnerojisly to nearly * very charitable and church organization. 3Io succeeded most admirably in working himself into the affections of more women , thttn any other man over known in Omaha. The IKI ! : exposed him , and ho took his de parture , after which his sidewalk slab was tunwl upsldo down. The last hcaru of Aid- rich was that ho was killed in New Mexico by some indignant relative of a woman whom the alleged doctor bad mistreated. Another humbug was an old German ' 'doctor'1 who held forth on Capitol uvonuc , and pretended to cure every disease by means of bis herb baths. He , too , has disappeared. "Dr , Fish- blatt , " who for n time raked in bushels of blmkcls from confiding victims .long since de parted. To his credit , bo It said , ho has re- termed , and instead of administering quack nostrums to the physical body , ho in now en gaged in prescribing spiritual doses for sin sick souls. In other words , ho is a leader in the Salvation army. He bus dropped his medical title fora military one , and is now known as General Fishblatt. Since- the passagoof stringent medical laws in Illinois and Iowa there has been quito mi influx of quack * and questionable median ! into Omaha , and us a result u great many people nro being "doctored" t death by men who ought to bo chopping wood or shoveling dirt instead of "practicing" medicine. We can stuim Jaek-letr lawyers and Peter Funks Itenorally , as they only swindle people out of their money , but when men and womrn nro subjected to malpractice , and in many cases driven to premature graves , it is time to call a halt , There is In the city of Omaha an alleged doctor whoso ways uro peculiar and mysteri ous , but by no means past finding out. Ho vuns a so-culled private dispensary and adver tises far and wide to euro nearly uvcry disease with which the human system is ntUlctod. As n consfqucnco ho has n largo number of vie tlms of misplaced confidence. This man Is "Dr. " Powell Kccvcs. Information has bwi received in this city from time to tlmo fron various parties in different localities showing him to bo a fraud In several particulars. Hi bus "practiced" in various parts of the coun try , and has made a record that is not alto gctnor spotless. It was only u few years ago that ho was located In Portland , Oro. \vhoro ho sailed under the name of "Dr.1 Viuimonciscnr , "tho well known specialist.1 Ills Portland circular * b ir the siuno picture of himself as his Omaha circulars , advertise ments and books.

So writes a reputable physician of Now Orleans. Quito recently Dr. Powell llccves , alias Dr. " Vamnoneiscar.has had printed InOmaha a pamphlet of sixty-four pages , treating of the various diseases which hoclaims no can cure. This pamphlet , entitled "Pacts for the Sick , " "s stolen bodily from u similar book , with the same title. Issued by Dr. Vf. II. Be.tts , a phy sician and well-known specialist of Now Drleans. The title-page , table of contents , .ho beads of the subdivisions , and the reari ng matter throughout are identically the same in both painphlots , with a very few ex ceptions. One of these exceptions is that Hcuvcs inserts his own name in place of Belts. When he took Uetts' book to Fest- ner's prihting establishment bo gave orders to have it reproduced as nearly as iws- sible , mid to Insert the name of Ueeves In stead of Belts , in this style , "By Dr. 1 . . I , . Hooves , consulting physician of the Private Dispensary. " To provo that "Dr. " Heevcs is a fraud at least a literary pirate it is only necessary to compare the Omaha and Now Orleans pamphlets. For instance on page 12 , in Dr. Holts' book , occurs the following passage : "Four diplomas certify to my fiualitlcation in medicine and surgery , and twenty-live years experience und ex tensive practice in England , Franco and America , affording unusual opportunities for the Investigation of disease and the search for remedies , has enabled mo to succeed In many instances where eminent practitioners luxvo failed. " Now Is it not a singular and striking coin- cidcnco that this sanio passage , word for word , ap | > earft on page 1 of "Dr. " lloovcb' pamphlet I Such is the fact , however. The Br.n ventures to assert that "Dr. " Kccvcs can't show four diplomas from reputable col leges , and that ho will not swear that ho bus had twenty-live years' ' experience in England , Franco and America. If ho can show a di ploma from ono regular medical college in good standing he Is in big luck. In his cir culars ho claims that bo is a graduate of a regular medical college. It is understood that ho refers to the American Kclcctlc college - lego of Cincinnati. If that is the case , ho hasn't much medical culture to brag of. "You can get a diploma from that college in six weeks , " said ono of Omaha's leading doctors. Another doctor said : "Tlio American Ec lectic collcgn of Cincinnati was , prior to 1SSO , considered us n bogus institution , and its di ploma was not reeognUoil by any state board of health. The diplomas granted bcforo 1N0 were simply bought , but I understand that since then the college has been reorganized. I have been told that the doan of the faculty made allldnvit that Ueoves is not a graduate of that college. The allldavit was sent tp a certain lawyer of this city" The lawyer referred to above was asked if the statement of the doctor was true , und ho replied us follows : K''Tho dean ol the faculty of the American F.clcctie college of Cincinnati , learning that Paul Hceves was a practicing ; physician in Omaha , and pretending to bo such by virtue of u diploma from that institution , sent on an affidavit stating , among other things , that at the datu of his pretended diploma the college was not recognized among thestuto boards ol health of the country. The deun also referred in his aflidavit to the state board of health ol Illinois for tlui years IW-J-bJl , in which years the diplomas of the college were thrown out This nftldavit was Illed with the county clerk for the purpose of contorting the right ol Hcovos to practice , but. was afterwards with drawn , the law being found defective in that it provides no board of authority to review the action of the county clerk In regard U the licenses. The clerk is absolutely com pelled to record all diplomas which appear to Lo such , und there is no authority to question a diploma. " U may bo barely possible , however , thai Dr. Powell Uoevoa graduated from some rojular collegu under seine other name probably Vanmonclscar. Wo ooo by "Dr. " Vanmonclscar's Portland cir cular that "Dr. Vunmonciscar is a graduate of a regular medical eollogo.ls well known ovoi the United States and Canada by thousandsol old and young men ho has cured. " etc , Dr Powell Heaves , late of New York , and now of Omaha , nuke * Identically the saino state ment in his circular : "Dr. Hooves Is i ' KiMd-intu nf a regular medical college , is wol i kn iwn over thu unitul Stuti'n an I Canada by thousands ot old und ycu : ; inta ho has ALL WOOL WHITE BLANKETS , $3 Per Pair. t Monday morning wo will continue our Jrojit January Clearing Sale , by ottering our custo * iners , 210 pairs strictly all wool White Blankets , on which the lowest known price hns here' totore been $4 a pair ; for $3 per pair. i Clean Grey Blankets , $2.50 Per Pair. 75 pairs only , large 11-4 si/e , clear Grey Blankets , on which the lowest price has beeu$3.50 a pair , will be oflerod next week for $2.50.

To use an Indian expression it looks very much as if he is "bud medicine. " Dr. )5clts , of Now Orleans , who is very indignant at Kccves for pirating his book , writes of him us follows : "Ho Knows nothing of medicine. He has a di ploma purchased from Buchanan. What sort of a medical law have you in Nebraska , to allow such a fraud to practice medicine ) * * * You his character can got pretty well by writing to Portland. " THE MATKIMOMA.L , MAKKKT. Juileo Shields Says tlio IJulcH Against Osculation Must Prevail. Judge Shields says that old time rules in hU office do not permit of osculation on his part when ho ties up a couple for life , and that he will stick closely to all precedents. He will wish new matrimonial candidates long life and happiness , and that is as far as he will go.
