Boston Dentists In Trouble Over a
Patent

Boston, Oct. Acting on the recent
decision of the United States circuit for
the southern district of New York, es-
tabIishing, it is claimed, the validity of
the patent issued in 1881 to James E.
Low for crown and bridge dental work,
which was assigned to a certain COM
pany, the present holders of the patent
have placed attachments on the offices
of seven Boston dentists. This patent
has been the cause of an immense
amount of litigation, and it is said
that nearly every dentist in the country
had used the crown and bridge work.
After the New York decision a cir
cular was sent to dentists requesting
that they pay $25 a year for every year
during which they have used the work.
Some of them, it is said, have agreed to
this, but most of them are determined
to avoid payment, if possible, and they
have organized to fight the case. They
say that the matter will be taken to
the United States court of appeals and
to the United States supreme court, if
necessary.

TO LIGHT THE DOME.
State Executive Council Considering
Elaborate Plans.

The executive council is in a guam
dry concerning the decoration anu -
Elimination for the state mouse uo l1l
and the Probabilities are that the SCI
era1 plan which has been so mucn us
cussed will be abandoned unless elle
city comes to the rescue.
The general committee Representing
the state adopted a resolution request
ing the executive council to decorate
and illuminate the state house dome
and the state house.
This morning c. r. Maunseu, super
intendent of the Edison company, APP
peared before the executive councll
which held a special meeting for the
discussion of the plans.
The council decided that it would De
impossible for the members to author
ize the expenditure of the $4,000 neces-
sary to light the dome as has been pro
posed Mr.. MaunSeu estimated that
the illumination of the dome including
the cost of the globes would cost from
$4,000 to $1,000. It was finally agreed
that at least $4,000 would be necessary;
1.-The council has no money, said
Auditor Cole.
I'VE can't provide this illumination
then" said the governor.
THE directors of the light company
this morning said they would do the
work and wait for the legislature to
pay the bill," said Mr.. Maunsell.
We can't do that" said Mr.. GODDARD.
THE legislature would not appro-
pirate money to pay for a display"
said the governor.
Il would not favor asking the legis-
lature to do it, said Secretary Clark.
"A plan of that character would not
be wise,' said Mr.. Cole.
well, we can't do it then" said the
governor.
Mr. Maunseu had estimated that six
miles Of insulated wire, owing to the
metal roof, will be necessary to pro-
perly illuminate the dome. The proper
illumination would require 5000 incan-
descent globes which alone would cost
nearly $1,000.
When the council decided that this
large expense could not be borne Mr..
Maunseu suggested another and cheap
er plan. 1t is to have a roster of the
officers of the Twentieth made up OF
incandescent globes on a large back
ground displayed on the south steps
of the state house. Across the top is to
be in gold letters the name of the for
mer colonel, Funston, followed in dou-
bic lines by the names of the remaining
officers.
This plan would necessitate the ex-
penditure of about $500.
Il suggest that a committee Of three
be appointed" said Treasurer Grimes,
ito investigate this matter and see
what can be done. We must do all we
can to help this matter along"
The motion was adopted and the gov
ernor named Mr.. Clark, Mr.. Cole and
MIR. GODDARD.
The council then adjourned and the
committee representing the council will
meet with the local committee to dis
cuss the best plan to proceed under.
1t will never do to half do this. The
entire dome must be lighted no matter
what the cost.

EXCELLENT RESULTS.
They Have Resulted In Steady
Gain of Popularity.
People Who Are Ever Ready to Rec
ommend What Has Done Them
Much Good.

The people of Topeka feel very CRATE
full for the great benefit they have re-
Ceived from the use of MOrroWs Kid
ne-oids, the great remedy for back
ache, dizziness, sleeplessness, nervous
ness and all diseases arising from the
kidneys. Morrow's Kid-ne-oids cure
where other remedies have failed and
the people of Topeka have not been
slow to find this out, and they add their
testimony that their friends may know
what to get and get cured
c. N. Ella, No. 916 Quincy street, re-
affirms his statement about MOrrow's
Kid-ne-oids curing him. 1t has been
nearly two years since Mr.. Ella used
Kid-ne-oids for kidney ailments and IN
Examination Of the bladder and he now
says, March. 1899, that there has been
no return of the old trouble He for
merly suffered with a severe backache
as we'll as Inflammation of the bladder
and he had great difficulty in urinatlng1
and pain in the kidneys. The urine
when standing awhile would get thick,
but two boxes of Kid-ne-oids have
cured him sound and we'll.
Morrow's Kid-ne-oids are not pills,
but Yellow Tablets and sell at fifty
cents a box at Swift & Holidays drug
store.

Mr.. Joseph VOytek, Cabinet Maker, Of

kidney trouble for four or five years,
coming on me gradually and causing
me a great deal of suffering. Later on
a severe attack of the grip left my kid

mornings my back hurt me so acutely
that I could hardly get out of bed, and
felt tired and unrefreshed. If IN

ENGLISH OPINIONS.
Shown Through the Newspapers
Disagreement of Opinion.

London, Oct. 4-The result of the
race was announced in the London
music halls last night and gave rise to
scenes of unbounded enthusiasm, the
band playing English, Irish and Ameri-
can airs.
The New York correspondents express
the opinion that the Shamrock has a
good chance to win the cup.
The race must have been e1evating
to the Americans. The hope that the
cup will return to England now runs
high.
The Daily Graphic, in common with
all the other papers, express regret at
the abandonment of the race
The Daily Chronicle comments in a
similar strain and says.
THE Shamrock has the best chance
ever vouchsafed to an English boat
The Daily Telegraph says: 1T was in
every respect the grandest and most
exciting struggle waged for the recov-
cry of the trophy since it left Cowes."
The Daily News comments upon the
wonderful handling of both boats which
it says must have been a delight to the
skilled behoIders.
The Standard considers the wind to
have been too uncertain for any gem
uine test, and thinks that no definite
conclusion can be drawn from yester-
days contest.
The Morning Post thinks there is
nothing to fear regarding the Sham

ONE VOICE RAISED.
In Support of the President at a Ne
gro Meeting.

Boston, Oct 4.-President McKin1ey's
attitude toward the negro in the south
was discussed by the colored national
league in the Charles Street church last
night. The matter came up IN the
form of an open letter frfom the league
to President Mckinley, protesting
against his executive inactivity in re-
gard to lawlessness in the south. The
letter was read by Archibald H.
Grimkie, formerly United States con-
sui general in Santo Domingo under
President Cleveland. In the general
discussion which followed it's reading,
the only dissenting voice was that Of
Isaac B. Allen of Boston, who opposed
it was simply an attack on the present
administration and therefore contrary
to the principles of the league, which
is not a political but racial organiza-
ton. Attention was called to the fact
that several petitions are being cfrcu-
lated throughout the country, which
originated in Boston, one a protest
against race discrimination by the res
taurant and hotel keepers in Washing
ton. Reference was also made to a, pc
titiOn now receiving signatures here,
bringing before congress the preva-
lence in the southern states of lynch
ing of negroes, protesting that such
overthroWing of the law rendered hui
man life frightfully cheap. The petition
goes on to pray that the act of lynch
ing be made a crime against the United
States, that the president of the United
States be empowered to intervene with
the armed forces of the nation to pre-
vent the commission of the atrOciouS
crime, and to rescue any person from
the hands of such mObS in any state
of the union. The petition further sug-
gests the creation of a central detective
bureau at Washington with branches
outside for the purpose of informing
the president of all lynching intentions.
The petition will be presented to con-
greSS next December.
