DOGS COSTLY TEETH.
Dentists Canine Has Gold Filings
in His Mouth which Are
Worth $3.50.

Rex is the name of a dog and he is a
full-blooded Gordon setter. His owner
is a dentist up town in New York who
does not think it unsual that his dog
should have teeth with gold filings and
six gold teeth in his lower jaw with a
diamond embedded in them. Dr. T. s.
Van Nostrand, of 1O1 Eighty-eighth
street, is the owner. He decided that
thed og's teeth must be filled if they
were to be saved, so he resolved to do
the work.
The dentist told the dog to get into
the chair and Rex obeyed Then Van
Nostrand tied towel in his mouth and
keep it open and set to work. The dog
did not object seriously to the opera
ton. Four gold teeth were made to
fit his mouth and these were attached
to two crowns which fitted over two
teeth and thus held in place.
The gold teeth gradually wore down,
and lately DR.. Van Nostrand decided
that new set was necessary. 1t was
made and in the center was placed
pure white diamond of half carat.
The teeth have been placed in position,
and now Rex is the proudest dog in
New York.
The value OF Rex's dental adornment
is at least $3.50.

gracefully, invited her to sit down.

Resolutions.

Whereas the condition of affairs in
the First judicial and congressional
districts are such as should bring the
blush Of shame TO the cheeks of all lib
erty-loving and law-abiding citizens.
And whereas the methods consisting
OF bossism, coercion and intimidation,
dictation and the corruption of the cleo
torate in our elections are in direct vio-
lation of the constitution of the United
States and the laws of every state, and
whereas we believe that in free and
independent government where the
people are the rulers, every citizen is
OF right and should have as much voice
in exercising the elective franchise,
without dictation or molestation from
any one
Therefore be it resolved, That we,
the anti-Brownlow league, in meeting
assembled in the courthouse in Eliza
bethton, condemn the ring which has
robbed the people Of their liberty by
coercing and intimidating the laborer
and compelling the Officials who hold
positions under the present ring to
vote for and put up money for their
boss and triekster.
Resolved further, That we condemn
the ring for their action in the last iu,
dicial race, whereby it was sought by
money and corruption to place on the
bench its candidate regardless of the
fact that he was not the peoples choice
And that we further condemn said rims
for the fraud it has attempted TO perpe
trate by withholding returns of thu
election to accomplish their end.
Resolved further, That we and eacl
of us pledge ourselves to do everything
in our power to bring the present stat,
Of affairs to cricis, and at the ballot
box next November vote for and sup
port only good men who are in sympa
thy with the above resolutions.

Some Reasons.

A few reasons why Maj. J. w. Weeks
should have the earnest support of the
people in the senatorial race:
1. He is an honest man.
2. He is capable man.
3. He is a man whose character is
above reproach.
A. He denounces bossism.
5. He favors revision of the election
laws so as to prevent recurrence OF
fraud.
6. Every one of his neighbors, who
know him best, will vote for him.
7. He was an active supporter of Da-
ma Harmon in the late judicial race.
s. He is not in the race on account Of
personal desire for Office, but became a
candidate upon the urgent request o.
the people in this fight of the people
against serfdom.

Brain Food Nonsense.

notion that one kind of food is needed

another bones. A correct died will not
only nourish q particular part of the
body, but it will sustain every other
part. Yet, however good your food
may be, its nutriment is destroyed by
indigestion or dyspepsia. You must
