PROF. CAMPBELL DEAD.
Former High School Teacher Passes
Away at His Home.

Prof Gavin Archibald Campbell, for
merly teacher of languages and his
tory in the Mankato high school. died
at Stevens Point, Wis, Wednesday
evening at 20 o'clock. The deceased
was 30 years old and graduated from
the Stevens Point high school in 1887,
from Phillips, Andover, in 1890, and
from Williams in 1898. He also took a
postgraduate course at Chicago Uni
versity. He was the second son OF the
late Gavin Campbell, division superin-
tendent of the Wisconsin Central. He
was Master Mason.
Prof. Campbell resigned his position
in the high school at Christmas time
and Prof. Uline was elected as his sue
cessor. Prof. Campbell's health had
been failing for some time, and his
death was probably due to bronchial or
lung trouble. He was well liked by all
who knew him during his brief resi-
dence in this city, and the announce.
ment Of his death causes much sorrow,
and comes somewhat as shock, as it
was not known that the end was so
near.
A telegram announces that the fun
eral will occur Sunday.

Among the answers to q 80
made at the recent teachers examlna-
tion held in this city were some anus
ing ones, showing a strange lack of
knowledge on the part of those who
have been or who seek to teach. The
applicants were required to describe
England, Great Britain and the Brit ish
Empire. One answer was that Eng
land was an island, Great Britain was
composed of England and Whales, .
and the British Empire consisted of
England, Whales and the whole
thing
One young lady of this city, who has
been teacher for three years, asked to
describe Hawaii, said that Hawaii was
the capital of Cuba, and was captured
in the late war with Spain.
One of the questions required that
the three greatest statesmen of Ameri-
ca be named. Fifteen replied that
Daniel Webster was great statesman
and wrote the dictionary. Three includ.
ed William Jennings Bryan among
Americas three greatest statesmen.

work of Normal schools!

The Extraction of Teeth and Replace
ment by Artificial Ones.

The extraction of teeth is one of the
most commonly performed dental oper.
ations and consequently one of the
most commonly botched. This opera
ton is serious and the dentist chosen
to perform it should be seriously con-
sidered for these two reasons.
Almost any dentist may be believed
to know enough to. extract teeth but it
belonged to the most skilled dentist to
know enough not to extract teeth that
his skill can save.
Accidents so frequently occur from
ignorance, (such as the extracting of
sound teeth. Pain is commonly in
fiicted by old fashioned methods and
accepted as necessary, that it is not sur
prising that the operation is approached
with apprehension. But when per-
formed by skillful operator, with pro-
per instruments and facilities it is safe,
effected with ease and without pain.
The construction of artificial teeth is
an operation which, though acknow
lodged to be of great Importance and
performed by every one having any
pretension to the knowledge of den.
tistry, is unfortunately but little under.
stood by the majority of practitioners
The utility of artificial teeth depends
upon their proper construction and cor.
rect application.
Our reputation for painless opera
tions, modern dental methods, and
prices thoroughly consistent with good
work has been an established fact fol
years 1t wont cost you anything to
come in and ask us questions about
your teeth. DR. E. L. HAYES,

Mankato lodge No. Sc, K of P, held
a very enjoyable session Thursday
conferrlng the third rank upon two
esquires Refreshments were served
afterwards. The attendance was large,
and included dozen visiting knights
from Kasota, and several from Lake
Crystal and elsewhere.
Attorney Jay Henry Long attempted
to capture some of jude Severance's
large legal knowledge and experience
by exchanging hats with the Judge at
the court houseFriday morning, but Jay
Henry says he will never try such q
trick again. That hat was too heavy
for him and at the First National bank
he fell on the slippery pavement and
pretty nearly broke his back.
