Dentistry Without Pain.

1 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.

Mr.. James Moore returned from his
'iSlV To Vermont last week, where he
had been with a display of South Dako-
Ia products, which he had gathered as
collection tor exhibition in the eastern
states. Mr.. Moore had personal ex-
per!ence OF the blessings of free silver
very lorclbly and dEsaggreeably present
ed to hlm on his way through Canada.
While having to stop at a number of
cities in that province. On his previ-
Gus trips to and through Canada his
American silver had always been receiv-
ed at It's face value, the thrifty Canadian
beng very glad to get Yankee currency,
but on his last trip he found that a
change had come over the spirit of his
dreams, his money was disc1edited and
the Canadians refused to receive it with
cut a 80 per cent discount lie found
to his sorrow that he should have had
his American money exchanged INTO
Canadian currency before crossing the
line. Your careful Canuck doesn't in-
tend to take any chances of having his
hands full OF American silver while
there is possibility OF it dropping down
to lis bullion value. This unpleasan.
experience of Mr.. Moore is an indication
of what the possibility OF tree silver
will do. and if the shadow is productive
Of such results, what of the reality.

DIED.

At the home of her parents, Mr., and Mrs, j c.
Wood, in this city on the morning of August
Eth, 1885, Grace Beatrice Wood, aged Il years
months ana II days.
The above sad announcement last
Monday morning cast a shroud OF gloom
over a large circle Of friends OF the little
girl who has been thus early called from
earthly life. Little Oracle was gener-
al tavorite with old and young, and OF a
more than usually sympathetic nature
and loving disposition that endeared her
to all associates and acquaintances.
She had been ailing for some time,
but the thought Of any danger to her
life was not suspected until congestion
Of the brain revealed the tact that she
was more deeply diseased than had been
anticipated, and delirium and uncon-
sciousness caused hope to fade and die.
A member OF the Sunday school and
life touad a saving friend in Jesus.
Oracle is the first of the 81 cousins in
the four families Of relatives residing
in this city, to break the ranks, and pass
from the embrace of loved ones on earth
TO enter the gates ajar and look upon
the glories Of that life which is life
indeed.

I ~. l~y

THE GOLD ISl GS.
The Friends Of Protection aud
sound Money Hold an In-
lhUsiUssIc NcelinG.

The opening gun of the campaign on
the republican side was fired last night
by an enthusiastic meeting ut the opera
house. and the number present, although
the weather was altogether unfavorable
by reason Of a heavy shower that COM
menced to come down about o'clock,
was IN pleasing contrast to the popo-
cratic meeting held at the court house
week ago, and 1t shows clearly the dritt
Of public sentiment toward Mckinley
and sound money. Owing to the tao; OF
going TO press SO soon after the meeting
we are unable to give an extended
review Of the two excellent speeches.
the one by brother G. w. Stat
ford Of the Aberdeen Sentinel,
and the closing one by Frank Sears, Of
Webster, a life long democrat, who tor
a number of years past has affiliated
with the populists, but who from the
actual experience of the past three
years Of low tariff has renounced his
tree trade theories. and has become an
ardent protectionist. Mr. Stafford made
a very iorcIble and convincing argument
along the lines of protection and sound
money, contrasting the past four years
Of business depression and low prices
with 1892 and the years preceding it
when the country was enjoying republi-
| can protection, and when there was no
! question of the soundness of the money
of the Urited States, and dollar with
with Uncle Sans stamp upon it was
good tor its face value the world over.
Mr.. Sears, having been an old popu-
list, and as he says, slept with them tor
| four years, was able to talk to his former
companions and tell them a few whole
some truths Of what their leaders had
done with them in selling the party to
the democracy; adopting platform and
| then supporting man for president
who rejects their platform and their
vice president, and the only thing he
is willing to accept from the party being
their votes.
/ The interest manifested was indicated
by the fact that the audience paid the
closest attention AMI remained to the
last of the nearly three hours Of speak

Lee nIbd esriSSby,

1t was not very large or enthusiastic
crowd that gathered at the court house
Thursday evening last to lies5n to two
of the principal candidates on the pop
ulist state ticket. 1t was not such
greeting as candidates for Governor
and Attorney general could have ex-
pected. There were in the hall from
100 to 100 persons, and as one OF the
speakers said he presumed large part
OF those present were republicans, 1t was
even SO. Mr.. Lee excused himself from
talking by stating that he was not
public speaker, and took about ten MN
utes to tell that he was republican
until about two years ago. The candi-
date for governor, neither by his talk
nor his general appearance, would give
any one the impression that he had any
peculiar qualifications for the respon-
sible office to which he aspires. lis
nomination was undoubtedly made be
cause he was one of the wealthiest men
in the state and he could thus help along
tha cause Mr.. Grigsby proved a
tiresome talker even to the popullst
hearers and for long time Waded a.
round in general reform. When he
came to the free silver theory he explain
a., how necessary it was to haze more
money, but failed to show how we could
pet i. even when the silver mllhonalres
could take their 50 cents worth OF sil-
var to the mints and have it stamped
lone dollar. He admitted that the
wace-earne1 would suffer by the scaling
down of The dollar, as would the pen
sion.r. but he said the old soldier should
and would have patriotism enough 10
endure this Tor the common good.
The rally was disappointment 70 the
n,puis,s, and an utter failure from a
tree-silyer tand-point, fact which was
generally admitted by the popullsts
themselves. 1t is no exageeration 70
cav that the meeting strengthened the
son,;ment Of the community for sound
money.

been living is crystalizing into an al

ton OF Mckinley. The tree trade depres-
