Dentistry Without Pain.

I have at last solved the problem Of
preparing teeth for filling with no
pain. This is done by the recently
discovered electric instrument which
is simple, scientific and painless, and
is applied to the tooth with no dis
comfort to patient, but allows me to
cut out the cavity, or remove the
nerve, without least pain. As you
know, I also extract teeth without
pain.
My Bossier friends and patients
will find me at the same stand.

POPULIST STRENGTH.
Votes Cast in the Southern and
Western States in the Elec-
ton Of 1892.

Washington. D. c., July 23.-The con-
have been doing some figuring during
the past week on the voting strength
of the Populists. They have also been
estimating the voting strength of the
bimetalliSts.
In 1892 the popular vote of the coun-
try was as follows: For Cleveland,
5.556,91S; for Harrison, 5,176.1OS; for
Weaver, 1,O41 OPS. In the elections of
1854 and 1898 the Populists made large
strides In twenty-seyen states of the
South and West they east 1, 152,327 the
Democrats, 2O46, $50, and the Republic
ans, 1902, los.
In 4 number of the Southern states
Alabama, Georgia, North Carolina and
Texas, for instance-the Populist vote in
the last few elections has been strong.
In 1894 the Popullsts cast 96,SSS votes
in Georgia for governor, against 121,O49
for the Democratic nominee. In Texas
the Populists polled the big vote of 163.-
cratic nominee. Ala ALBANIA east S3,2S3
votes for Kolb, while the Democratic
candidate received 110.S56. The Popu-
lists held third place i'll the last election
in North Carolina, polling $4,000 votes.
The Democrats in the same state polled
127, 593 and the Republicans 1O0,342. In
the Western states, where so much is
hoped for by the Democrats, the Popu-
lists hold first place i'll Il number of states
and are in position to dictate to the
Democrats what they want or do not
want.
The following table gives the vote of
the three parties III fifteen of the West
ern states in the last elections in those
states:

NEAR THE DANGER POINT
The Ohio River and Its Tributaries
SWelled to Torrents by Rains
and Cloudbursts.

Parkersburg, Va, July 25.-The Ohio
river will reach the danger point here,
thrty-eight feet, by tomorrow, it being
now thirty-four feet and rising three
feet per hour The little Kanawha is
thirty-one feet and rising at Grantsville
This is very high stage.
Pittsburg, Pa, July 25.-The greatest
floods in the Monongahela valley which
is sweeping down that stream will cause
the rivers here to reach a stage OF %
feet this evening, which will be sufh-
Gent water to flood the lower districts
in both cities. The general conditions
throughout the Monongahela valley
is critical. The lower end
of McKeesport is flooded and
a foot more OF water at the present writ
ing will reach many of the warehouses
along the banks at that city. Dravos-
burg is inundated, the water reaching the
second story of many of the houses. The
locks and dams Of the Monongahela Nav
igation company are all under water and
at some of the houses the water has al
most reached the second stories This
last result was caused by cloud
bursts and heavy rains at the head of
the Monongahela. In many places they
were the heaviest known in Twenty-Five
years. 1t is difficult at this time to place
the amount of damage which will be in
Cured by reason of the food, but it
will probably reach 81 100000

Chance for the Sugar Trust.

The last number Of the Kew Bulletin
contains some particulars of very in
teresting problem which some years
ago was submitted by the treasury to
the Kew authorities.
The question was, Does natural sugar
occur in tobacco? And in the investiga-
ton of this point some startling facts
have been brought to light. The treas
ury authorities were, of course, chiefly
interested from fiscal point of view,
the duty on tobacco (other than ciga RS,
being shillings pence, except in the
case of 'sweetened" tobacco, which is
charged at shillings 10 pence, but
cigarettes made of the sweetened arti-
Gle are not allowed to be imported at
ALL Before this Investigation it was
generally admitted that tobacco did not
contain more than trace of saccharine
matter.
On the advice of Professor Church,
DR.. Hugo Miller was called in, the lat
ter making a thorough examination of
the question. Commercial samples of
bright Virginia tobacco, undoubtedly
free from adultera ton, were found to
contain as much as 1872 per cent. of
saccharine matter. Sun-dried leaves
of nictoiana tobacum, grown at Kew,
contained GO per cent, and those of the
same species grown at Ewell railway
station as much as 8 per cent DR.. Mil
Ter finds the saccharine matter to be
OFFICIALLY inactive when tested by the
polariscope. He is of the opinion that
neither cane sugar nor glucose is pres
ent in the saccharine matter, but that
it is composed of at least three sugar
like substances, probably hitherto I'M
known.-London Chronicle.

CHAPTER XVI

Although the Senior Guffanta had not,
as yet, in answer to many questions put
to him, been able to say positively that
he was on the immediate track Of the
murderer of Walter Cundall, he still con-
tinued to inspire confidence in those by
whom he was surrounded; and it had now
come to be quite accepted amongst all
whom he met at Occleve House that, al
though he was working darkly and mys-
tariously. he was in some way nearing
the object he had in view.
1t may have been his intense self-con-
fidence, the outward appearance of which
he never allowed to fail, that impressed
them thus, or the stern look with which
he accompanied any words he ever ut
tered in connection with the assassin; or
it may have been the manner he had of
making inquiries of all descriptions of
every one who had known anything Of
the dead man, that led them to believe
in him; but that they did believe in him
there was no doubt.
In the time he had at his disposal. after
transacting any affairs he might have to
manage for the merchant who had ap-
pointed him his agent in London, he was
continually passing from one spot to an
other, sometimes spending hours at Mr..
Cundall's house in Grosvenor place, and
sometimes a long period of time each day
at Occleve House; but to no one did he
ever say one word Indicative of either sue
cess Or failure.
And, when he was alone in either of
these places, his proceedings were of a
nature that, had they been witnessed by
any one, would have caused them to Won
der what it was that he was seeking for.
He would study attentively every pic
ture that was portrait. whether paint
ing or engraving, and for photograph al
buns, of which there were number in
both houses, he seemed to have an untir-
ing curiosity.
He would look them over and over
again, pausing occasionally a long time
over some mans face that struck him.
and then would turn the leaf and go on
to another; and then. when he had. for
the second or third time, exhausted one
album, he would take up another, and
again go through that.
To Dobson. who was by the outside
world regarded as the man who had the
whole charge of the case. the Seniors ac-
tons. and his absolute refusal to confide
in him. were almost maddening
To any question that he asked. he re-
ceiyed nothing but the regular answer:
