We stated two or three weeks since
that IN order to counteract the erect
ION OF the levees on the St. Francis
basin front, the leVees on the east bank
from the Tennessee line to the Hush
puckana would have TO be built five
or SIX feet higher. Since we made
that announcement We hear that the
leVee board has met and authorized
its engineer 10 raise the leveos 30 as
to resist the water which may be
forced against them by the leveos on
the Arkansas side. IL is to be hoped
Of course that the levees thus con-
structed will be able 10 withstand the
pressure, but as it will be tenfold
greater than in the past, provided
the Arkansas levees hold, the people
on the east side will be in fear and
trembling behind twenty-five foot
embankment. Should such levee
give way it would carry death and des-
truction in its wake. We have enjoyed
comparative security from oyerflows
IN the past, simply because the Ieyees
in Missouri and Arkansas were down.
but now with them built in q sub
stantial manner, as far south Is tho
mouth OF the st. Francis river, the
strain on the levees in this district
viii be tenfold greater than ever be-
fore 1t will be simply a question a.
10 the strength of the leyees on either
side as well as to the length Of time
the water would remain against them.
Should the levees break north of
Commerce, Tunica, Coahoma, Quit
ma, Holmes, Lehore, Yazoo, and Is
saquena would be affected, which, by
filling up all the bayous and sIoughs,
might be retarded in its speed south
TO such al extent ms TO save Louisi-
ana, which has been submerged for
the past three years. The people
have lost faith in the all-levee sys-
tenn, and should the east side
meet with the same fate as Louis
lana and Arkansas have for years
past the discomfort and dissatisfaction
among the people on this side of the
big muddy would be very audible

embarked on al English vessel, bring

John was only thirteen, having been

Bayou st. John in 1856. The family
had Two children, Richard and Mar

THE OLD
AND THE
NEW
IN DENTISTRY.

ssWe are truly progressive people.
Contemplate for a few moments the -api6
advancement of the science OF mechanical
engineering. Marvellous as Is the work
which was executed in the olden times,
/ it Is as nothing compared with the grand
and glorious work of today. Culturel
( We owe our great advancement in science
and art to this alone The culture of the
mind, like the culture of field, must
have an object. We cultivate the field
that we may get better crops from 1T; we
cultivate the mind that it, too, may yield
] better fruits. s'Man lives by his facul-
! ties. Culture is the enlargement or i'm
provement of faculty. and thus makes
fuller life and deeper correspondence
/ between the individual and the world.
s'Governed by social motives 1t Will
seek to extend it's benefits to all as an
ultimate aim, and will thus be kept fresh,
vigorous and pure.
"Governed by selfish motives it will
degenerate into more self-pleaslng a1fec-
tation and insincerity, and will never be
far removed from moral corruption. The
distinction is easily seized and may
proftably be taken to heart.
The inventive faculty is almost uniyer-
sal, and its fruits are seen In the constant
evolution of new ideas. One idea suggests
another, which, in most cases, proves to
be an advantage. Thus we have the NEW
of to-day and the OLD of yesterday.
Every art and science has felt the
quickening impulse, and we know OF
none more marked than DENTISTRY.
In the light of quick succession OF
s'startling discoveries" comes DR.. c. e..

fIrst-The right to approve or to reject
proposed state laws shall rest with a ma
IorIty OF the citizens of the state. The
right to approve or to reject the proposed
laws OF any political subdivision OF the
state lsuch as county, city, town, town
snip. borough or village shall rest with
majority of the citizens of such political
subdivision. The method of such ap-
proval or rejection shall be that known as
the referendum.
Second-The right to propose laws Tor

ing exercised by members OF the Senate

This has been favorabIv viewed in Cali

1t is modelled after the Swiss plan and
some approach to it has been in vogue in
the Isle of Man under the speech priv
ileges granted by the British govern
ment. There is much that can
be said in favor of the plan, and yet, like
all innovations, objections to it spring up
as soon as it is suggested. In a govern
ment of the,people it comes nearer to the
true Democratic principle than anything
now existing in the methods of legisla-
ton, and it is likely to take well with the
masses, though it viii not recommend it
self strongly to the more cultured and
conservative. who contend that law
making should devolve upon the more
educated and advanced members of any
community.
The referendum principle is in use
whenever it is proposed to amend the con-
stitution of the state or of the nation.
Also on the issuance of bonds in city, or
county, or school district, and the levy
ing of special taxes. 1t is not so cumber-
some as might be supposed at first glance,
and many of the objections to it that sug
gest themselves are dissipated when it is
closely examined. However, it is not
likely to be adopted in hurry, but it is
one of the propositions that are likely to
be discussed by the papers and the public
Tor some time to come. z.

| DR.. -Sir-It is with pleasure
that comply with your request to give
you a testimonial regarding your new
method for painless filling.
/ must say, however, that when I first
called on you I had no faith in your
promises to I'll my teeth without pain
and believed that what had heard and
read about it was all humbug. A regu-
lar advertising dodge. The first opera
ton convinced me beyond all reasonable
doubt that the Hall method for painless
filing as operated by you was exactly as
represented-a grand and glorious sue
cess. And after having twelve very sensitive
teeth filled with gold by you, cavities in
all sorts of positions and conditions can
conscientiously say that / suffered not a
particle of pain.
When | say my teeth are sensitive I
know what l am talking about, for the
very thought OF having drill run into
them would deprive me of sleep and cause
cold chills to run down my back. Yes,
you filed these teeth and | experienced
no pain. Put me down as saying that
You have the greatest and only remedy
for painless dentistry ever heard of.
The dental drill as operated by you is
no longer terror to humanity and YOU
are to be congratulated upon having
secured such wonderful pain saving
remedy.
Keep up the good work and your pa
tients will grow, for no one will know
ingly go to dentist to be punished when

A SCHOOL OF MINES.
The Industrial Home Building Wanted
for That Purpose.
A Business Mems Committee Appointed
to Draft ResoIutions-A Proposition
That Should Meet with Favor.

Congress is to be asked to donate the
building now occupied Tor rather unoc-
cupied) by the Women's Industrial home
to the territory to be used for a school of
mines.
The HERALD in an article week ago
pointed out the farce of longer continu-
ing the building for the purposes for
which it was erected and urged that it
should be converted to some good use.
The Business Mems association pro-
poses to go after Congress in earnest. At
meeting of the executive committee yes
terday afternoon a committee consisting
of Messrs. Benson, Rowe and Lewis was
appointed to act with similar commit
tee, which the chamber of commerce is
asked to appoint, to draft resolutions
urging Congress to donate the building
for school of mines.
There is constant and increasing de-
mand for assayers, chemists and metal
lurgists, and this fine building would
make splendid home in which to found
such an institution.

the way back; everyone disguised with
the trip. All VOW that they will never &c
to any more excitements. AT least they
never will take anything to sell. There
were ten teams came in this ranch last
night, all wanting to sell out at cost. II
looks like trading post here this morn
ing. There is one man here who is buy
ing and trading for all that he can get al
his prices to take into the Henry noun
tains. They are offering one-half to any

There was one team went down from here
this morning to get load to bring back
on these terms. | find most of the outfits
that are SO heavily loaded are from San
pete and other southern counties in Utah.
At this ranch one night last week there
were $500 pounds OF -four in
camp on the way to San Juan,
and the same -four was sold here for what
it cost them at the mill after hauling it
down and back. There was quite a camp
at the river, but no one went over; but a
few pack outfits went over to see for them
selves, and promising to come back to
the river and report how they found San
Juan. But no word yet. There are a
few outfits still at the river awaiting for
good or bad news. If bad, they are all
going into the Henrys. Most everyone
thinks that will be good camp in the
spring; almost everyone has a good word
for that mountain. We expect to spend a

from the San Juan. All are satisfied that
there is nothing there thar will pay; all
seem to give the same reports, but on the
San Juan river a few outfits are still
going. There was man from the Henrys
and he gives good reports, he says he saw
an outfit from Georgetown, Colo, the
best equipped outfit ever in Utah, of
sixty-nine men. They prospecting on

It Is of Especial Value to the
Treatment of Children's
Teeth.

1t is the duty of the parents to give
prompt and skillful attention to the
teeth of their little ones, and as this new
anaesthetic robs the dental chair of all
its terrors. many chlldren's teeth may
now be filed and saved during the term
OF their required usefulness that have
hitherto been neglected and hopelessly
lost because of the pain entailed in at
tempting to save them.
1t makes thorough operation possible
and herein lies it's chief advantage, and
the relief from pain in filing has been Pc
culiarly appreciated by such as are ner-
vous or in delicate health and by children.

DR.. GRIswoLD-I want to say that I
thank you not only on my own ac-
count, but on behalf of humanity at large
for securing this new and wonderful
method for painless dentistry. l have
had many teeth filed, but never without
suffering untold agony until came to
you. l was very doubtful about you
being able to fill teeth without pain, and
in fact laughed at the idea, but as l had to
have the work done, thought might as
well try you as anyone else.
Four minutes in your chair convince
me that l was wrong in doubling your
ability, and was extremely gratified to
be able to acknowledge my mistake. You
Will remember that you filed three teeth
for me and l felt not the slightest pain
or uneasiness during the entire operation.
