If You Are Not Interested
In Your Teeth. 49,.

The condition of the mouth has
much to do with the general health.
The improvement following the
placing of the teeth in a healthy
condition is often surprising. One
cause of so-called "bad breath is
due to the tartar on the teeth, they
being otherwise sound and good.
Tartar is in many mouths the only
enemy to contend with. 1t ac-
cumulates at the neck ofthe teeth,
irritates the gums, causing them
to become inflamed so that they
bleed easily. This should be
taken as warning, and IT Dr. lr-
vine is called upon in time Will
prevent much injury. Ii not done
the accumulation continues and IN
time the teeth become loose. A
great many intelligent persons fail
to appreciate the importance OF
taking care Of their teeth until
compelled to do SO by suffering,
Then they want their teeth ex-
tracted. and it is just as foolish to
have tooth extracted because 1t
is in an liberated or broken down
condition as it would be to have a
finger amputated because OF the
appearance of a felon or the re-
moving of an eye to get rld OF a
cataract. Diseases OF the teeth
and surrounding tissue are certain
lv as amenable to treatment as are
ulcers or morbid growths in other
parts of the body. A tooth that IS
decayed contains cavity In which
food collects and is decomposed,
causing an offensive breath. The
decomposed food is dislodged and
carried into the stomach where II
may cause trouble. OF course the
trouble is increased by the number
of teeth involved. A person with
poor teeth cannot eat with satiiac'
ton, he Is in nervous condition,
his food imperfectly mastlcateo
and insalivated, hence goes into
the stomach unprepared for diges'
. ticn, thereby causing indigestion
Decay generally begins in some
obscure point inaccessible to thu
patient-hence the advantage OF {

One of the most daring and bold
robberies occurred between 12

thieves entered the Office of G. w.

about $500.
Entrance was effected through the

locked when the force quit for dinner.
The key was turned by means of pair
of nippers, as the marks Of the steel
could be seen on the end of the key.
Once inside the thief had smooth sail

gotten to lock the safe.

line, was the one to discover the theft,

knew was contrary to anything ordi-
nary. 1t took but moment for the
truth to dawn upon him, and turning to
the safe he found it open and the bot
toms of the drawers broken.
The safe contained really more than
the robber got, but all that was left
practically, were about $50 in checks

youth of the Sac and Fox Indian res
ervation, accompanied by a number of
braves, an attorney and E. l. Wilcox,
came to the city Wednesday evening.
The court house was Immediately
sought and the novel sight of an Indian
appearing before the court to secure a
settlement of his domestic troubles was
presented. Ta-Ta-Pi-Cha was not, like
his pale face brothers who go into court
about their wives, seeking to free him
self from domestic yoke that was bur-
densome, but was trying to gain pos
session of his better-half, Lelah-Puc-
ka-Chee.
The attorney for the young Indian
presented to Judge Burnham his appli-
cation for writ of habeas corpus to
compel Superintendent Nellis and In
dian Agent Maln to release from their
custody Mrs. Ta-Ta-Pi-Cha and return
her to her husband of a few days.

elapsed the superintendent of the In

sion of the girl and are compelling her
to attend school. This action was taken
on the authority of a guardianship for
Lelah, the custom prevailing at the res
ervation of appointing white men as
guardians of the Indian children in or
der to compel attendance at school.
Judge Burma am, who. it happens had
appointed Lelah's guardian, refused to
issue the writ saying that he was in
doubt as to the jurisdiction of his court
in this particular case and that the
question was one in which the Indian
agent knew best how to act.

"A Dung Man attempts 70 SonHAs
Rape Upor an Eight Year-O Old
Girl.
One of the most henious OF crimes
was attempted Wednesday evening
about 4:30 O'Clock near the corner of
Center and South streets by a young
man probably between 10 and 20 years
of age, who tried to ravish the person
of little Libbie Novotny, aged years.
daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs. Anton Novot-s
ny, residing at 10s Arson street
The little girl was on her way home
from the Arson school, where she is a
pupil, and when nearly home was ac-
costed by the stranger. who asked her
If she could point out to him the home
of Mrs. Frank Thorpe. The girl tried
to explain to him where he could find
the residence he desired, but he pre-
tended not to understand, and told the
child that il she would accompany him
to where he could see the house he
would give her cents. With childlike
simplicity she did as he requested, and
when opposite vacant house, near the
corner of Center and South, the
stranger picked the girl up in his arms
and ran across the street to the cellar
of the house. The girl screamed loudly
and before the baA purpose of the man
could be accomplished the attention of
some passing farmers was called to the
vacant house. The man evidently
heard the approaching steps of the men
and released his hold upon the child,
making hasty exit, running toward
the south. Instead of taking after the
man the farmers looked after the little
girl, finally quieting her by making her
understand that she was safe from
harm. They took her home. where the
child explained to her mother what had
occurred.
Mrs. Novotny, as soon as she learned
the circumstances, took her daughter
Immediately towards the depot, where
she hunted up City Marshal Jones. The
marshal took the little girl. accompa-
MED by her mother, to the saloons in
that vicinity, where the man who had
perpetrated the crime was sought. He

whereby he could be identified. al

some kind, from which hung string.
Mrs. Thorpe was telephoned by OIL

any light upon who the stranger might
be, but replied that she knew nothing
more than that young man had called
