Old Style Dentistry.

It is fact that the primitive ways of our forefathers are gradually coming again into vogue, and in more ways than are generally known, particularly in the act of dentistry. A case in point occurr- ed here in Clifton few days ago which, for downright simplicity, takes the palm and bids fair to become very popular with the people generally-all except the established dentists, who are making a roar worthy better cause. Boomerang" Smith had been grunting around for sev- CT I days with the toothacbe and finally fetched up against Billy Hart, to whom he poured forth his trouble. Now, a more suitable person for an occasion of this kind would be hard to find, and, as a matter of course, Hart deluged him with all the comfort and advice of which his over-sympathetic[ nature was capable. The prospect of "job" in this case was too good to let slip, so Hart went straight to Hal Dorsey, another "arch fiend," and with him entered into conspiracy to get to extract the tooth. Hart told the man that it was unnecessary to go to den
 tist, that he could pull the tooth all right and not hurt him bit. Alter some considerable coaxing and with the help of the bystanders the consent of the man was gained, and Heart, after getting the man up alongside the stove, proceeded to take hold of the offending tooth with pair of wire-cutting plyers. At a given signal Dorsey jerked a burning brand out of the stove and thrust it into the patients face Indian fashion. Of course the patient jumped back, leaving the tooth in the jaws of the plyers. IL is needless to say that he was very much benefited by the operation, and so we'll pleased that he proceeded to black both of Hart's eyes, and then to clean out the Blue Goose saloon in the latest ap- proved Western style. For two hours it was dangerous to be seen upon the streets ot Clifton. And now comes Drs. Lord and Heavenston with a criminal suit against Hart and Dorsey for practicing withCut A licanSa

Walter L. Mains circus disbanded at Las Vegas for the season, turning loose about hundred roustabouts on the com munity. Since then several holdups have occurred and the police are having hard time ridding the city of these in dividuals. Martin, the fake living skel- eton, was also turned loose without pay, and, as he is in poor health, the citizens are taking care of him.

The state Central Committee Will be
called upon to adjudicate five contests at
its meeting ut the jefferson tomorrow

titled 10 the delegates from that county 10
the convention TO nominate a can
didate for the State Senate. Neither MT.
stands nor DIR. Bradshaw has asked the
committee TO pass upon their claims.
They will probably not do so. Senator
Roykin and Mr.. Jones have asked the
committee TO arbitrate their claims.
Dr. A. S. Priddy, who claims the regu-
ler nomination I'm Charlotte, has asked
the state Committee 10 decide whether
he or Mr. Rice is entitled to the stamp
of regularity. Mr.. Rice has been notified
Of this fact.
The committee has been asked TO de-
eide between two candidates and the two
committees in Shenandoah county. The
feeling between the two wings of the
party In that county is very strong, it
having existed for several years. A
strong effort Will be made 10 bring the
factions together
The committee has been asked TO ad-
Indicate the trouble in Lancaster county.
This is probably the hottest contest in
the state. The contest is between Mr..
Thomas A. Pinckard. "A Martin man, and
Hon. r. Carter Wexford a Tyler man.
Each claims 10 be the regularly nom-
mated candidate from the legislative dis
trict composed of the counties of Rich
mond and Lancaster. 1t seems that In
the nominating convention the Rich
mond county delegates, a majority of
whom were for Governor Tyler, were
bound by the unit rule, so that tho solid
vote of the county was cast for a Tyler
man. majority OF the Lancaster county
votes were for Senator Martin. and the
delegates from that county sought 10
apply the unit rule, but the Tyler minor
ity refused 10 be so bound The result
was a big row at the convention, and the
two candidates. The committee must
choose between them

GOVERNMENT OF PHILIPPINES.
Four Departments TO De Created
Places for Generals.

WASHINGTON, September 26.-It has
been definitely determined to create four
departments in the Philippines, as out
lined in these dispatches a few days
since. There are yet some details 10 be
worked out, and a possibility Of changes
IN the lines of the departments.
The latest contemplates two depart
ments i'm the Island of Luzon, one taking
in Manila and its environments and eX-
tending northward covering all the terri
tory occupied by General Macarthur.
The other department probably will be
in the north Of the island, with head
quarters on Linga-Yen Bay. Each of
these departments in Luzon will be under
q majOr-general.
a department probably will be esta5-
lished covering the Visayan group OF
islands, and another the Sulu group.
Eaeh Of these would be under the COM
mand Of a igadier-general.
The plan is not fully arranged, but
the latest proposition embracing these
features meets with approval at the
War Department.
