\ republican candidate who is re-
ceiving the endorsement of a very large
number of democrats is Lee \. Johnson.
nominated for representative. There
are many reasons why Mr.. johnson will
represent Yakima county in the legisla-
ture in a manner that will reflect ere l.
it upon both himself and his constitu
ents; he is an able man, deep thinker
and sound reasoner and is able to
express his convictions forcibly and
fearlessly Mr.. johnson mas always
taken a bold stand for the good and
moral in politics, and mis- record as an
upright citizen has never been called ir
question by his opponents, nor will it
ever be. His nomination was a move in
the right direction, and his election nil
result in faithful and satisfactory serv.
ice in the interests of the county.

The services of Dr. Rosser during the
two terms that he served the county as
coroner were entirely satisfactory to all
concerned, and this is strong recon-
mendation why he should be given an
other. The taxpayers may rest assured,
as most of them already know, that he
will not put the county to cent of I'M
necessary expense in the administration
of the duties of his office. but that the
legal matters, upon which large sums
OF money often depend, will be properly
and conscientiously attended to.

The developments of the campaign in
dictate beyond doubt the election of Lee
little to the office of county treasurer.
The voluntary support of the business
men of the county and also of the
younger element of voters, regardless of
party affiliations, are a high compli-
ment to mis- ability. His work in other
lines similar to the duties of the treas
urer's office have fitted him perfectly for
the place, and it is an assured fact
that he will make as good treasurer as
Yakima county has ever had.

About the neatest and best equipped
dental parors in this section are those
of DR.. c. V. Shoop in the First National
Bank building. For several weeks the
doctor has been installing new applian-
ces and just few days ago completed
the furnishings. An Observer reporter
this morning in making his daily rounds
in quest OF news happened to stroll into
the offices OF the well.known dentist
who was kind enough to explain the
use OF the several new instruments and
contrivances. To begin with he has
added a new one sixth horse power ell.
ectric motor which furnishes power for
the automatic electric air compressor
for obtunding sensitive dentine. With
this apparatus it is possible to prepare
the most tensitive cavities with little
or no pain. With m electric porcelain
furnace, a part Of the new equipment,
the doctor can make his own porcelain
Gllings according to the most up-to.d date
methods. An electrical sterilizer is
also one OF the new additions to the OF
flee, and by the use OF this process the
dentist can keep his instruments clean
and absolutely free from termination
The extension cuspidor that is arranged
to the left OF the chair occupied >by pa.

ceptacle while the inside OF the vessel
is constantly revolving and carrying
away all Objectionable substance. DR..
Shoop's apartments are thoroughly com
plete with all tn Q attachments and ap.
pliances used in modern dentistry and
with the new equipment work can bs
done here with the same satisfaction as
in large city.

for the first time in that length of

child, a neighbor of Nagle. Maggie was
driven to Justice Alstadt, u warrant

driven to the Douglas county Jail.
where he was placed in the custody of

said Maggie went to the Hanschild home
and e~ndeavored to scald one of the
Hanschild children with hot water. He

held until Marshal Battin could come.

with ropes and driven To omaha. Ma

being forced to ride in a wagon and
to assume a sitting posture, as for
fourteen years he relisiousiy declined
to ride in amy conveyance or sit down
on any OCCASION.
