MUSIC HATH CH4RMS.

NJ. Donier, one of the leading den
fists of Paris, is using a photograph
to lessen the horror of tooth drawing.
He has noticed that those patients to
whom he was obliged to give an an
esthetic-no matter of what kind,
even if it were only laughing gas
showed unfavorable symptoms when
they awoke from unconsciousness
their condition being largely due to
the effect of the noise of the traffic in
the street outside. Obviously music
was the thing. He tried phonograpE,
and still uses it. When a patient is
seated in his chair he places the phon-
ograph's tubes to the ear and allows
the instrument to work for a little
while. Then he administers the anes-
thetic, and he finds that the patient
becomes Unconscious much more quickly
and easily, and requires less of the
anesthetic than was formerly the
case
Not only that, but he can perform
the dental operation without inter
ruption, and when the patient recov.
ers consciousness the after-effects are
slight indeed, compared with those
which nearly awlays presented them
selves before the photograph had been
numbered among the dentists profess
sional instruments.

". Il. DODGE.
Highly Esteemed in the Place of
His Late Residence AS Man and
Citizen.

Notice of the death of N. p. Dodge.
at Grants Pass, Oregon, was recently
published in the Journal. The sub
joined obituary notice, from the Cour-
Ter, of Grants Pass, Thursday, Feb
rary 10, tells how Mr. Dodge was es-
teemed in the place of his late resi-
dence:
IN p Dodge, one of the best
known and most universally esteemed
citizens of Grants Pass, died at his
home in this city on Monday forenoon.
He had been in poor health for some
years, For the past two weeks he had
been confined to his bed and during
that time little hope had been enter
tanned for his recovery. Several years
ago he experienced stroke of paraly-
sis and, while he made a partial re-
covery, and was afterward able to at
tend somewhat to business interests,
yet he never fully recovered. He had
since been SUBJECT to attacks of heart
trouble, some of them very serious,
and these had occurred more frequent
| ly III the past few months.
Nathan Prentiss Dodge was born
in East Montpelier, VT, FEBRUARY s,
1889 In 1879 he removed to ST. Johns
bury, Vt, and in 1882 to Northern
idaho. In 1887 he came to Grants
Pass where he has since resided. He
was postmaster in Grants Pass for six
! years and afterward entered the hard
ware business as member of the
firm of Jewell & Dodge. In later
years, he had devoted his attention tC
the insurance business. He was al
esteemed member of the Masonic fra.
terity and during his residence here
had been one of the pillars of the
Presbyterian church in Grants Pass.
His public and private life were with.
out reproach, and his cheerful and
pleasant disposition carried him un'
complainingly through all his atfiic'
tions. 1t is doubtful if another dealt
has ever occurred here which pro-
duced so widespread and general sor
row as that of Mr.. Dodge He leave
wife, Mrs. Mary Dodge of our city.
Mrs. Dodge was daughter of the
late Don p. Carpenter of Middlesex.

If the conditions made by the good
bishop of North Dakota are not over
drawn, the little seances of poker that
enlivened Montpelier during last fall s
session pale into insignificance beside
the common, every day conditions at
Bismarck. Bishop Mann of the Epis-
copal diocese of North Dakota has
given for publication letter in which
he says: There is condition of
things existing in our capital city ut
terly disgraceful, corrupting and in
excusable. In the leading hotel of
Bi marck the lowest vice faunts it;el
unchecked and unrebuked, That hotel
presents the features of a saloon. a
gambling house and "a brothel, AT
least, it does so during the sessions OF
the Legislature and many of the sena-
tors and representatives board and
lodge there. What is five queer
pack compared with that?

Says the st. Johnsbury Caledonian :;
"Now that Hon. Robert j. Kimball
has given library building to Ran
dolph he is being publicly thanked
throughout the State, which is highly
proper. But when the same worthy
citizen aspired to the Office of State
Senator his political enemies defeated
him in his own town. Mr.. Kimball
not only has a large purse, but great
heart as well.

When disease gets into the kidneys ii
is just as certain to take person off as
leprosy, unless it is checked before it
goes too far. II people just knew the
danger that lurked in diseases of these
delicate organs, they would be as careful
of them as they are of their eyes.
People who have sound kidneys should
understand how to protect and take care
of them. "Blood Wine'' is sure cure
of Kidney Diseases because it removes
the poisons that collect in the blood
through the inactivity of the kidneys.
Mr.. John T. Foster, of Manchester,
N. H., speaks as thousands speak.
"'Blood wine' is truly a most remarkable
medicine. In my case its work has been little
with Kidney disease and Rheumatism, of most
painful andadvanced type; Itried aboutevery-
thing without relief and expected the re-, same

The heavy wind storm OF last
week did considerable damage about
the valley. Fences were blown
down and many hay stacks uncov-
cred on a number of ranches. The
wind was the heaviest known here
for years, and of the longest dura.
ton without bringing rain.
If the Western Pacific road
passes through all the towns that
want the line and think it will come
its way it will beat Sharon's crooked
road all hollow. 1t will be the
greatest corkscrew railroad on
earth, and it might as well make
another bend or two and hit Mason
Valley.

Disastrous Wrecks.

Carelessness is responsible for
many a railway wreck, and the
same causes are making human
wrecks of sufferers from Throat and
Lung troubles. But since the advent
OF DR.. Kings New Discovery for
Consumption, Coughs and Colds
even the worst cases can be cured,
and hopeless resignation is no longer
necessary. Mrs. Lois Cragg, of Dor
chester, Mass, is one of many whose
lite was saved by DR.. Kings New
Discovery. This great remedy is

Drunken indians.

Constable Dillon arrested a couple
of Indians Thursday night tor being
drunk and disorderly and put them
in Jail. Yesterday morning he liber-
ated the Piute and took the Modoc
Indian, George, to Dayton, where
charge of selling whiskey to Indians
will be made. This Modoc Indian is
not ward of the government, and
he obtains all the whiskey he wants
and gives and sells it to the Piutes.
He was caught in the act of giving
Piute bottle of whiskey Thurs
day night and there are three wit
nesses to that effect. If the courts
cannot find a way to attend to his
case the citizens of this place prob
ably will if he comes back to this
section. He openly detes the officers
here, says he can buy all the whis-
key he wants, and will give it to
whom he pleases.

Apple Butter.

G.. B. Nichols, who recently loca-
ted in this valley with his family,
yesterday sent us a sample of apple
butter and fresh apple cider manu-
featured by themselves. Both sam
Piles are prime articles. Apple but
ter in the Eastern and Western
States is a staple article OF food on
the market, but is used very little
in Nevada. The sample sent to this
office is delicious article, and the
question arises in our mind why
would it not be good business
proposition to establish an apple
butter factory in the valley and put
the product on the market? Such a
a quality as manufactured by Mr..
and Mrs. Nichols should bring fair
price and find ready sale. 1t would
also be an advantageous way of con-
Stunning the over supply of apples in
the valley.

VIII Do Assessment Work.

Notwithstanding things are very
quiet in this district in mining
way, the old Boston-Nevada Com
pany has decided to do the assess
ment work on sixteen of it's copper
claims here. Twelve or fifteen men
will find work for short time on
this Job. 1t is also understood that
the company intends to apply for a
patent on its claims in the near
future. They evidently do not intend
to let the property go by default
although it has not yet developed
into a paying proposition.
