Recent Appointment by the Governor Creates
Great Uproar,
OBJECTION TO MEMBER OF DENTAL BOARD
DR. Wcntc of Lincoln n Graduate of
Dental College thnt Has Bccn
Driven out of
Missouri.

LINCOLN, April 2i.-(Spccial) )--One ap-
pointment made by the governor, and which
Is not contained In the most recent list is
creating an uproar all over the state among
the members Of the dental profession. This
is the appointment OF DR.. Wente Of Lincoln
as member of the State Dental Board. 1t
seems that Wente is a graduate Of a Kansas
City dental college which Is Ia such disre-
pute among the profession that 1t has been
driven out OF Missouri and its graduates are
no longer recognized in that state. Moving
over into Kansas the school has met with
the same opposition there, and in the recent
session bill was introduced to prevent its
graduates from practicing in that state.
few days ago DR.. Wente was asked
what he would do in case a graduate of this
Objectionable college applied for permission
to practice in this state. He replied that
under the existing circumstances he would
refuse the permission, and 1t is understood
that within the last week one applicant to
open up practice in the state was turned
down for that reason OF course this pc
culiar situation has created stir among
the graduates Of reputable schools and 1t is
probable that the governor will be petitioned
to reconsider the appointment.
With the individual work of DR.. Wente
there Is said to be no objection, and his
right to practice in the state cannot be
questioned for the reason that he came here
before the school was blacklisted. The ap-
pointment was purely political, however, as
Wente was a candidate for the legislature
in Lancaster county last fall and made such
a strong fight that he is supposed to have
aided the state ticket materially 1t is said
that he contempates locating in Texas some
time during the summer and that the ap-
pointment Is made simply to give him pres
tige in his new location and without any
idea OF retaining him permanently on the
board in this state.
Grief for StotsenberE.
There was great anxiety felt in Lincoln
today over the meager news from the Phil
ippines and the state house was besleged
by the friends and relatives of the boys
in the First Nebraska, all desiring to see
the list of casualties. large number
of inquiries came in from outside towns,
but in each case the governor and the ad-
jutant general were compelled to tell the
inquirers that no list had been received.
During the afternoon the delay became so
oppressive that the governor wired the War
department asking that the list be forwarded
as soon as it reached Washington. This
afternoon the governor wired the father of
Colonel Stotsenberg as follows
Judge Stotsenberg, New Albany, Ind: In
this hour of your bereavement we extend to
you our heartfelt sympathy. Your son has
added honors to Nebraska and died like a
hero. w. A. POINTER, Governor
Flags were at half mast on the state build
ings during the day in memory of Colonel
Stotsenberg, and special services were held
at the university chapel. During these exer-
cises Chancellor MacLean made a talk in
which he deplored the hasty action which
