REQUIRES CASH TO SETTLE * * ' < Condition of the , Eepcivor of tbo Late La mented Nebraska'Insuranco Oompanyi STOCKHOLDERS j'ANP LAST ASSESSMENT Some Who 1'nlrt MuMt I'ny Awnlii nml ( u AVI u ItneUc-il Mimt MnUc Their Stilncrln- iluiiM Good. A decidedly avaricious ghost of the de funct Nebraska & Iowa Insurance company nnd Us offspring , the Nebraska Fire Insurance - suranco company , appeared In. the district court yesterday afternoon , seeking a con tribution of a good many thousand dollars from the Council Bluffa men who wore In at the christening of the departed nnd lamented Institution. The manifestation 'was In the form of n suit brought by A. U. Wyman of Omiha , receiver of tlio Nebraska Fire Insurance company , against Joel Eaton , George W. Klngsnorth , Thomas Bowman , M. F. Rohrer , 1O. . Gleason , E. b. Shugart , J. J. Russell , Henry C. Lamb , John M. Campbell , Thomas J. Evans , Christian Straub , A. W. Street , J. W. Bcrger , D. F. Etcher , John Y. Stone , George F. Wright , Samuel R. Johnson , Lorenzo B. Williams nnd M. J. Burns. In succinct , if not very entertaining style , the story ot the rlso and fall ot the defunct Insurance companies Is told In the petition of the receiver , it recites that In March , 1883 , the Nebraska & Iowa Insurance com pany filed Its articles of Incorporation with the county clerk of Douglas county , Ne braska , nnd compiled with the legal for malities of the state. The company had a capital stock of $100,000 and each of the defendants held a certain number of the shares , which were valued at $100 each. Fifty per cent ot the stock was supposed to have been paid at the time ot the sub scription , and the balance wns pnyablo on the call of the directors. Transfers ot Block between the holders are rec'ted ' , and then Mr. Wyman tells of the condition of affairs of the concern In 1891. Some tlmo before that date the name of the corporation had been changed to the Ne braska Fire Insurance company , and S. R. Johnson , L. B. Williams. George F. Wright and M. J. Burns wore the ofllccrs and di rectors. Back in 1887 the company had policies outstanding In excess of $23,000,000. Then the business commenced to run down , owing , the petition alleges , to "misman agement , extravagance , business Incapacity and the fact that but a small per cent of the original GO per cent of the capital stock had actually been paid In. " Matters came to n crisis In April , 1891 , nnd nt n meeting of tha directors , held on the 13th of the month , the directors declarednn assessment amount ing to 83 % per cent * of the unpaid 60 per cent of the- capital stock. At the same meetIng - Ing the directors passed a resolution by the terms of which the , anjcunt of the assessments against George r. Wright , S. R. Johnson , L. B. Williams and M. ! J. Burns was credited them on claims , " notes and the like , which they presented against the corporation. The amount of the , r. PMments , which were credited tbe directors' ' that time , was an follows : S. R. JbtYhsbn , $10,150.50 ; George F. Wright. $7G17,37V L. B. Williams. $ G- 243.75 ; M. J. Burns , $1,331.50.The petitioner asserts that this a'ctlpn of the directors was Illegal ; that the ) ; had no authority to pre sent and ipay thplr clalm1" against the com pany , buti th.-xt tbey should have paid their assersm'ents'and then-have'taken their claims pro rata with the.ather , creditors. ' 'That April meeting seems , to have been the beginning "of the end. Mr. Wyman as- erts that at that time there were outstand- ng' policies of the company amounting to i > er $12,000,000 ; that there was due to the policy holders on return Insurance , $41,000 , and that other claims against tbe company iggregated $15,000. The directors com menced to cloao'up the business of the com- iany , and In May , 1891 , W. G. Madden , one f the stocl'holders , commenced an action to ; et at the facts ot the company's business. Jeforo this action was ended Mr. Wyman , on 'line ' 6 , 1891 , was appointed receiver of the iompany , and has since been engaged In clos- ng up Its affairs under the direction of the iourts. The concluding chapter of the petition eals with figures. Mr. Wyman recites that he district court of Douglas county , Ne- iraska , has decided that the action of the Irectors In paying their assessments offset latins against the company was Illegal and lot binding , and hoi asks the Pottawattamie lonnty court to do the same thing. Ho ilso asksj Judgment against the other stock- loldors ot the company for the following amounts , with Interest from April 13 , 1891 : Joel Eaton , $2,800 ; G. W.

Copcland nnd Shcpard Is alio\tn by the fnot that their practice Is fnr larger limn any other and Is based on Rood , sound , sub stantial reasons It ban none of the nature of nn ephemeral craze or ponsntlon. Medi cal sensations have been common. Mem ory runneth not to the time when a certain percentage of tlie public Imvo not bowed down to false gods In a medical way. The blue glass. sensation , the Urown-Scannrd elixir , Koch lymph and oilier episodes of this kind only emphasize how cnsy It Is for tlio public for n time to follow false lights , and , just ni forcibly , how soon tbo public discovers tholr falsity and abandons them. Hut the popularity of the Copeland nnd Shcpnrd work has nq part of the elements of n medical sensation or a medical craze , and this phase of It Is emphasised very strongly by the mntlcr brought out In these columns In the last month or two In cases printed n year , two years , three years anil four years ago ; the reiteration of patients then giving testimonials of the statements printed at tbe time ; their enthusiastic In sistence upon1 the fact that they were not only cuicd when they gave their testimonials menials , but that they have remained cured ever since , nnd well ; that they have en joyed years of perfect health , solely as the result of u cure by Drs. Copeland nud Shi'p- nid. This Is the distinguishing feature of their work that It is genuine ; that It stands thct est of time ; that It partakes In no part of the finalities of n medical sensation ; that year after year Its nottiblc success becomes more apparent , Its popularity creator nnd the public patronage larger and more en thusiastic. MIIS. GEOUQE W. SEIVEIl. LCXINO- ton , Neb. , wife of the U. P. agent at that place , says : "Drs. Copeland and Shepard cured me of nervous exhaustion and debility of long standing after other physicians had failed. I was almost helpless , without energy nnd suffering greatly from Insomnia when they took my case nnd cured me. I cannot speak too strongly In their favor. " IIBAIITV AVOUUS.

Copeland - land nnd Shepard of this city to our rend ers. They stand well in this community an honorable gentlemen and skillful physicians. the seat of the now see and Dean Tracy of this city as Its first bishop. The statement , ho declares , ls purely surmise. The gen eral opinion among Sioux City Catholics is that the story is true and that a premature announcement of the facts In the case Is responsible for Father Ryan's denial.
