raised as to the meaning of the plat

was misrepresented as to what he said
in that address. Cummins went to the
verge and some newspapers came
along and went good deal further
than he had, think. This matter will
help clarity things. 1t will settle

His Views Firmly Fixed.

Speaker. Henderson announced his
withdrawal after conference OF sew
fral hours with Chairman Chaser of
the congressional committee and
friends last evening. Henderson had.
been contemplating this action for
two weeks, but had intimated nothing
OF 1t to friends until Monday. AT yes
tefday's conference his friends i'm
plored him not to take this action, but
to no avail. He said he had made up
cause him to change his decision.
When asked for his reasons for his
withdrawal Henderson said:
MY letter to Chairman Albrook is
The whole thing in a nutshell You
cannot kin trusts by applying free
trade without killing our own indus.
tries. Foreign trusts are fighting
American trusts, and | don't believe
that for the purpose of controlling
American trusts We should make a
market for foreign trusts, thereby
crushing OUT the industries of this
country. After my conference last
Saturday at Waterloo, hearing the
views of the chairman of my district.
| concluded my views on the tariff
Of many of my party, and | did not de-
sire to appear in false position"
Henderson gave out an address last
evening which states his views on the
tariff questions and because these
views, in his opinion, are not in accord
with the state platform and with the
opinions of prominent members of the
party, he declines to accept the nomi-
nation.
His Reasons.
In lis address ITO the republican
voters of the Third Iowa district" he
says being a republican, he is a pro

live policy, a hasty comparison be.
tween the present and the past would
blot out such a doubt. He then
speaks with satisfaction of the tariff
blanks of the last two national plat
lorms
Continuing, he says: For three
years l have advocated giving control
of the trusts to congress. In my
Judgment proper supervision can new

treat them. am glad to see firm
speeches made by our fearless and
upright chief executive that he is ad

corporations, and while in some quar-
tiers they may sheer at it. | have MOI

No proposition has ever been made by
the democracy excepting to put every
thing on the free list and give the
country free trade. In other words
they propose to kill the child dead il
order to cure it.
''And now let me say, and let there
be no misunderstanding as to my DO
Isition:
Il believe in protection that vii

that would trample on the right O

Two Millions Manufactured Annual
~ In the United states.


Probably not less than 100000 arti-
fetal teeth are manufactured in this

goes on increasing. Never before was
such great care manifested for teeth as
has been exhibited during the past five
years In this respect Americans lead
the world, not even the fasddious
French excelling the people of the
United States in their solicitude for
the preservation of natural teeth and in
their application of the arts of dental
science when substitutes have to be
provided for natures molars.
Englishmen are notoriously careless
about their teeth, although in late
years great progress has been made in
this matter.
A prominent dentist of New York de-
clares that nearly every patient with
mouthful of decayed teeth is foreign
er. "They let things drift" he says,
"and come only when pain drives them
here. Americans, and especially south
erners, hasten to their dentist immedi-
ately they detect even the slightest
signs Of coming trouble. and the result
is that there are by far more saved
teeth in this country than in any other
Englishmen and Irishmen are remark
ably apathetic about their molars and
win go about for years with hopelessly
decayed teeth. New York Times.

cIucIs In n Frenzy.

When Gluck composed his immortal
works, a bottle of champagne was al
ways placed on either side of the plano,
and its effervescence helped TO inspire
the great arias of "Iphigenia," "Armi-
da" and "Alceste." When the final re-
hearsals were held of the "Iphigenia,"
Gluck had not yet written the melody
to the Dance Of the Scythians." Ma
veTe, the ballet master, becoming un-
easy over the delay went to him one
morning to urge him to hurry it up.
AS he entered the composers anteroom
he heard unusual and terrific noises
emanating from Gluck's library. He
approached stealthily and through e
crack in the door saw Gluck in shirt
sleeves, his face as red as fire and dis
torted by horrible grimaces, singing.
gesticulating and jumping about like Il
madman. Naverre, frightened by the
extraordinary spectacle, pushed the
door open. "Ah, there you are" ex-
claimed Gluck. Il am just finishing
