She started for her new home last Wednesday morning but no tidiugs have been heard from her since.

Dentist Fuller Says it was Not Merel
 Nai R0Iann

To the Editor of She JOURNAL AND COURIER: A, remarkable story is told in the Union this evening of the poisoning of MT. Els worth Bennett by the red rubber of plate used as base for artificial teeth. The den- tist who was 80 unfortunate as to be em- ployed in this case is characterized as tfras- cally." The expression seems little strong when we consider that during the past twen- ty-fve years almost every dentist in the civ- ilized world has been using this same red rubber in the same manner. It is probably not too much to say nine tenths of all the plates in use to- day are made of it. MT. Ben nett was not poisoned by mercury used in the rubber of his plate. The eminent physi- clans referred to may be right in their diag nosis of mercurial poisoning. They are un- dOubtedly right in the opinion that sulphide or sulphuret of mercury was the coloring matter of the plate. The mercurial prepara- ton was there. It is there still. It will be there fifty years hence if he continues to wear 1t. There is school of physicians who are capable of great deal in the way of faith in the medical force of infnitesimal doses, but 1t is difficult to believe that any one can have made such 8 jump to conclusion as is here intimated in the face of all experience. It is to be regretted that Mir. Bennett has aban- doned the idea of suit for damages, for it is only by judicial investigation that this periodically recurring nonsense can be finally laid to rest. Yours truly,
 AUSTIN B. FULLER.

Ellsworth Bennett Unfortunately Gets Poisonous Set of False ,Heeth

Ellsworth Bennett Unfortunately Gets
 a Poisonous Set of False Eeeth.
 A very interesting case of poisoning has come to light in Fair Haven within the last few days. Ellsworth Bennett, a freight brakeman in one of the switching gangs at Belle Dock, is the victim. He resides at 89 Wollcott street.
 About two months ago he decided to buy false set of uprer teeth, having been with out his upper get for long time. It was about the unluckiest decision he ever made, as he soon found out. He visited Chapel street dentist and had pair fitted
 He went later and got the teeth, and wore them to bed that night, so he might get ac- customed to them. Early in the morning he was awakened to find his tongue swollen so much that he could hardly move it. The next day the swelling subsided. but his throat commenced to swell, and then his eyes, feet, face, and other parts of his body.
 A number of doctors were called, among whom were Drs. M. O. White, E. L. R. Thomp- son, W. H. Thompson, Bacon, Roberts, Skipp, Bush and Ruickoldt. After careful exami- nation they were all unanimous in proscrib- ing 1t to mercury placed in the rubber gums of the false teeth.
 The dentist declared that there was no mercury in the teeth, but the doctors said there was
 Dr. Skipp says that it will be two years before Ellsworth will be entirely free from the effects of the poison.
 MT. Ellsworth at first thought he would sue the dentist, but decided not to when he found out that he had no property to speak of.

To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal
Our people in this section OF the State are
manifesting great interest in the coming presi-
Dental campaign, and as a result actively
canvassing names for the second place the
ticket. 1t is seldom indeed that any name but
Gen. Harrisons is mentioned for first place.
Active working Republicans, men who are al
ways found at work in a campaign, men whose
Republcanism is a known quantity are invari-
ably Harrison men. There is, of course much
diversity of opinion to the man for second
place. The Republican party unlike the Demo
cratic party, cannot afford to nominate 'sacci-
dental man simply because he carried a State
did some other thing accidentally. The man
himself must first meet the requirements of
Republican presidential candidate-localty
being a secondary consideration, but very i'm
portant one nevertheless. Since the death of
Oliver z. Morton, no man has filled the
hearts of Indiana Republicans as does Gen. Har-
rison. He is to-day the idol we'll the leader
of Indiana Repu blicans just surely as ever
man was. His name at the head of the ticket
viii create such enthusiasm as the old Hoosier
State has not known since Grants first election.
The people love Harrison, not ''for the ene mies
he has made" but for the friends he has earned.
1t will be no defensive campaign with Harrison
for our standard bearer Republicans will not
enter the campaign half hearted, but with a zeal
born of love for the man that presages victory.
His name would not dim but add luster to the
role of Republican Presidents. His fame is
national, his reputation unsuied, his ability
unquestioned. his craftsmanship unexcelled.
Then why should not Indiana present his name
to the convention and stand by him first, last
and all the tmes He has earned the proudest
place in the Nations gift. Let Indianians see
that he receives it. Let them say the nation
al convention "Rive Harrison and we will
take Indiana out of the doubtful column" to
swell the Republican victory in November Re-
publicans will go into this campaign to win, and
they want for their candidate man whose very
name stands for stalwart ReDublicanism, whose
principles have been proven, whose fidelity to
the great principles of the Republican party has
never been questioned
Republicans demand for their candidate
leader who can lead. not a leader who must be
led may be driven. Gen. Harrison is the
embodiment of that Republicans demand in this
presidential candidate. A. p. MITTEN

claims would come in asking for compensation
for the occupation of every camp-ground which
the Union soldiers used after crossing the Poto-
mae river There would be nothing 10 prevent
ing In a claim for the occupation of the field by
the United States army during the battle.
Pr. Spooner, of Rhode Island. supported the
amendment
Mr. Allen. of Michigan. thought that common
fairness required that the governments should
pay for the use and occupation of this property
vacated by the army but he was opposed to
paying for its use prior TO that time It was
within the Union lines. II was true, but it was
only kept there by federal bayonets
Mr. Long, or Massachusetts, INQUIRED whether
tbs same was not true OF property in Washing
ton
Mr.. Allen replied that it was not. IF the
federal troops had laid down their guns for
twenty minutes this property would have been
occupied by confederate soldiers. The seminary
was upon the picket line. and was in the same
position as seminary in Georgia
Mr. Holman, of Indiana. offered an amend
ment providing that nothing in this appropria-
ton shall be construed as recognizing the Iabil-
ity of the United States to pay for she OF
property by the United States army at the seat
of war during the la.e war.
Mr. Grosvenor regarded the amendment as
childs play. 1t would have no effect except to
quiet the conscience of some gentlemen who
desired to vote for the claim. In one breath,
the House paid for the rem. of property. and in
the next said that it would not admit having done
the very thing it had done.
MIR. Holman's amendment was rejected, and
Mr. Lees amendments was adopted-l02 to 81.
The bill was then agreed to- and reported to
the House. Pending action the House took
recess until 7:30, the evening session being for
consideration of pension bills.
The House, in the evening session, passed

General Harrison in Northern Indiana.

70 the Editor of the Indianapolis Journals:
The real well as the pretended friends Of
General Gresham may as we'll look one fact
squarely in the face. namely; his decision in the
driven well cases, Will lose him thousands of
votes in Northern Indiana. Any doubt this
point can easily be removed by investigation.
If his strength lies in his supposed ability to
carry this State, the sooner they recognize the
real situation the better for the party. ne
Democrats of this section have not been slow to
make themselves heard, well needed.
whenever the name of Joseph E. Mcdonald has
been mentioned for important Office ac
count of his connection with these cases. We
believe that those who are the ground and
understand the feeling have a better right to
know than the President-makers outside the
State. We also wish to emphasize the fact that
it was the influence of General Harrison, and
his personal popular ity, that caused the heavy
reduction of Democratic majorities in this sec
tion at the last State election. The Republicans
of northern Indiana are practically unit for

To the Editor of the indianapolis Journal
I would advise Dr. Lockr:dge to put Simeon
Coy into tub of cold water. the water
impregnated pretty freely with sal soda. 1t
would have two good effects if not three. 1t
would. undoubtedly, relieve him OF fever and
thus enable him to get away to his destination,
thereby saving expense to the government in
keeping him here. and put him where he would
be working for his board. at 1east. Besides, as
he is understood to belong to the ''unwashed"
Democracy, it would make a washed Democrat
OF him il not better one. A. S. K.
