Candy Making and Teeth.

them, however, you would SEQ no natural
teeth They are all false. In the case OF
many others the teeth are ruined. The
fumes in these establishments are damag-

eating is more or less injurious to the
teeth, but that does not compare with the
fumes of candy in the process of being
made. A large part of my practice comes
brought me in this way is of the most

THE POET AND HIS HEIR.

He stood upon the bridge Of signs, IN
Fast by the vale Of tears, =
And with prophetic vision scanned
The swift approaching years.
Then up the heights Of fame he climbed.
And from that corpse strewn place
Hewitt the light of other days ~
Looked full in natures face. -,
Upon the sands of time he walked,
With footsteps quick and light,
And with u wreath Of glory crowned
The moody brow of night. -
From dizzy heights in 'fancy's land
The poet was called down.
His wife with him had left the heir.
For she had gone to town.
The infant yelled. Tho poet mourned
AS he paced through the room,
And, like q Spartan, welcomed he
Tho dreaded crack Of doom.

1.-The past week has been favorable,
though somewhat too cool in the Da-
kOtas and Minnesota for some crops,
especially corn. Drought has been re-

''Harvesting of winter wheat has
continued, and it is now general over
the northern part of the wheat belt.
The weather for the past week has
proved favorable for spring wheat, sus-
tanning the previously reported excel
lent condition of this crop, which is
now beginning to head. Corn has
made good growth during the week,
and except in the Dalxotas and Mime
sofa, where it is reported backward,
the general condition is excellent. The
oat harvest has begun in the Southern
states and the reports as to the crop
are generally favorable. In Iowa the
largest crop ever harvested is promised.

They Claim That They Never Lost Sight
of the North Dakota Treasurer.
CHICAGO, June 26.-The official re-
port of the detective agency which
was employed to capture ex-State
Treasurer Taylor of North Dakota
was made public yesterday. The re-
port differs from the account given by
the fugitive of his wanderings, and
while Taylor claims to have thrown the
detectives entirely off his track, they
claim that they were but two weeks
behind him and would soon have eff
fected his capture had he not decided
to give himself up. The report says
that Taylor was first located at Havana,
where he was registered as C. B. Phelps,
and where his brother-in-law, H. NJ.
Benedict, was registered as H. B.
Mason. From there the report says
Taylor visited the following places in
order: Vera Cruz, City of Mexico, Man
zanillo. Guatemala, Port Limon, King
ston, Barbados, and thence back to
the United States.

ELOPED WITH ANOTHER.
a Prospective Bride Dfsappoints Groom,
Guests and Family.

CLINTON, Mo-, June 26.-The sensa-
ton of the day is the elopement of the
heiress, Miss Mary Gaines, and Ira
Wherry, the son of a liveryman of this
city. Miss Gaines will be Is in Novem-
Der, and will come into an estate of
more than 800, OOO Miss Gaines was
girl of many attractions. She had
several suitors but her mother favored
the suit of Walter Fewell, a young
man of excellent family and considera-
BILE means. Preparations were going
on for the wedding, set for to-day.
On Monday Miss Gaines came to
town, ostensibly to complete her trous-
seau, leaving Miss Dorman, who was
to be a bridesmaid, at her home in
charge of affairs for the event that
never occurred. While in the city she
told some of her friends that the pro-
gram as arranged would have some
variations. She took a brother of her
bridesmaid into her confidence, and it
was announced that the two would
call on friend after supper. They
did not reach the friends house,
neither did they return at the ap-
pointed time.
1t now transpires that young Wherry
had his fathers best rig in waiting.
and the young woman and her escort
took drive, while Wherry afterward
boarded a south-bound train. 1t is
supposed that the team was left at
Ladue or Montrose, and the two mar
ried and went to the Indian Territory.
Mr.. Fewell called yesterday morning
for his prospective bride to take her
to her mothers home in the country,
when he was apprised of the facts.
The young people are expected to re-
turn at any time, receive the blessings
and settle down. All connected with
the affair are of the first families here.

He L. Absolutely Against a Single Gold
Standard.
SWEET SPRINGS, Mo-, June 2e.-Sen-
ator Vest, who is stopping at his cot
tage near here, had this to say yester-
day on the money question in its rela-
tions to the country as a whole and es-
pecially to Missouri: ''There must be
a settlement of the silver question
without equivocation. We must deter
mine to adopt the gold standard per-
manently, retire the green backs and
perpetuate the national bank with
their paper based exclusively on gold
or we must open our minis to silver.
1.-The financial servitude which now
exists on the part of the United States
to foreigners should cease. Nothing
could be more degrading than present
conditions.
II believe in real bimetallism, the
use of both gold and silver as standard
money, but if we must have one metal
or the other, / would take silver for we
would then at least be independent in
stead of being the tail of the English
kite, and the helpless victims of the
Rothschild syndicate"
When asked his opinion about call
ing a state convention of the Demo-
cratic party IN Missouri to consider
the silver question, Senator Vest said
that he believed a majority of the
party desired convention, and he as
sumed that the state committee would
obey the demand of the majority. The
matter has gone so far that more irri-
tation would come from the refusal to
call the convention than anything the
convention could possibly do. Il do
not know that / shall attend the con-
vention. In any event, absent or
present, in the senate or out of it, am
against single gold standard"

PERRY, Ok, June 26.-It has turned
out that Frank Divine, the United
States soldier, whose death occurred
at Ralston, L T., last August. was
murdered. His death has been kept a
secret. He was a member of a COM
pany of United States soldiers now
located at Ell Reno, and his company
had been on a raid in the Usage nation
and camped near Ralston. When the
father, whose home is at Johnstown,
Pa, arrived at FL Reno a week ago he
was told that his son accidentally
shot himself while taking pistol from
a low tree, but an investigation at
Ralston at the time by the coroner's
jury showed that Frank Divine com
mitted suicide.
This is not believed by the citizens
of Ralston, who say that Frank Divine
was murdered on the night of August
IS, by some of his fellow soldiers
Divine and other soldiers were in town
that night till after midnight and the
next morning II &c pool of blood was
found on the store porch and about
daylight the report came from camp
that Frank Div he had killed himself.
His captain says he was one of the jol-
lest and best men in his company,
having been with him more than a
dozen years. Divine's father brought
his remains here to-day, and will go
Immediately to Washington and ask
for a thorough investigation. The
matter has caused much excitement.

NOT A GAMBLING DEVICE.
Slot Machine For Taking Pictures Can't
Get q License.

]. C. Klingaman, who is trying to
operate 3 nickel-in- the-slot machine for
taking pictures, is having a world of
trouble. First he was arrested by the
police for conducting his business with
out taking a license, and was released
on promise that he take out a license at
once. He went to the city clerk and
asked for a license, but was told that
under the Cubbison law no license could
be issued for any kind of a slot machine.
He is now in quandary. He will be
arrested if he continues his business, but
he says that there is no gambling device
of any kind connected with his machine.
