iousIy shaped needle with tremen-
dous force
He discovered that If sufficient
power is applied, an anesthetic can
be forced through the tubulii to the
nerve canal thus anesthizing the en-
tire tooth. The needle point of the
"obtunder," as the instrument is
named, is shaped like a truncated
cone and exactly Ats small hole
previously drilled through the i'm
pervious enamel, so that when pres
sure is applied to the levers actual
ing the piston. minute portion OF
the cocaine solution is forced into
the microscopic capilIaries of the
nerve pulp and the tooth is at once
ready for any desired operation, per
fectly anesthized
At this clinic the crowd of den
lists surrounding the clinician was
so dense that those on the outskirts
stood on chairs and tables in an en-
deavor to view the demonstrations
The sensational results obtained in
each case were almost unbelievable
TO those witnessing the complete an
esthizing of tooth for the first time.
Within 80 seconds the tooth oper-
ated upon was rendered absolutely
insensible to pain, and the excavat-
ing then proceeded with no more
discomfort to the patient even when
extracting live nerve pulp and fill
ing the canal, than he would expert
ence in pairing his nails.
DR. Myers demonstrated in the
three ordinarily most painful oper-
ations known to dentistry, the one
just mentioned, the removing of a
leaky filing from a super-sensitive
tooth, and the preparation of the
cavity for refilling, and the grinding
| down of a perfect healthy tooth,
preparatory to fitting gold crown,
that these operations can be success
fully accomplished with absolutely
no pain or even discomfort to the
patient, feat hitherto believed Inn
possible.
1t is stated that in upwards OF
l goo cases ON which this new meth
cd of applying local anesthesia has
been used, not a failure has been en-
countered, nor have there been any
after effects. Complete anesthesla
is obtained within less than two min
utes from the first application of the
instrument, and the period of abso-
lutte insensibility to pain lasts from
two hours, in some cases observed,
TO over As hours in others, after
which normal sensation is re-estab-
lished.
Following the custom of the eth
ical members of this and the medi-
cal profession, Dr.. Myers gives his
great invention freely to his fellow
practitioners.

HACKENSACK, N. j., June Is
In criminal annals New Jersey is not
ed for the fiendish crimes of women
within its borders. Jersey justice"
is a synonym for rapid justice upon
the guilty. There is little legal
splitting of hairs. Yet, despite these
facts, it has been twenty years since
woman was put to death for a
crime in this state. and from the
time that Governor Murphy refused
to grant a new hearing for Anna Val
entine and her fate upon the gallows
was sealed there has been a great
cutlery of protest. 9s-I
Good men and women of the state
and New York as well, who revolt at
the spectacle of a frail woman being
hanged, set about to influence the
governor and the court of pardons
to grant rehearing of the case But
stern law stood in the way and the
woman was finally condemned Re-
Gently she was granted a stay of ex-
ecution until July 8.
For weeks the woman in her cell
has been more placid and actually
less concerned than the women
guards that pace the death watch be-
fore her barred door. She says she
will be glad to die. She has suffered
much and in the very face of death
glories in the thought that she has
ended the life of the woman who
had robbed her of the affections of
the man she loved
Her crime was fiendish, but still
she was a woman. and this alone
was enough extenuation in the minds
of the men and women of prominence
who fought to save her.
Mrs. James Lusk, the wife of q
Baptist minister, after she had heard
the story of the life of Anna Valen-
tine, asked this question: who of
us can truthfully say that we would
not have done as she did if in
similar positions"
Anna Valentine had lived for nine
years as the wife of Michael Cor
lucci. Both labored and saved and
with their little hoard built a little
home of their own in the little town
of Lodi. So ambitious was the wo-
man 10 have her own home that she
labored by the side of the man, nail
ing up the frame, digging up the
dirt and finally painting the house
The home completed, heartless
COrlucci threw off the woman and
accepted Rosa Salza as his wife and
the tenant of the house.
Anna Valentine, sick at heart, ac-
cepted her fate quietly enough, but
there was revenge in her heart. One

day last March she was passing the
house when her rival approached
her and tauntingly said: do you
come here to see my husband and
my house and my twin babies? You
cannot see them and l hate you"
A demon entered the heart of An
ma Valentine. She pursued the wo-
man into the house and there, be-
fore the eyes of the baby twins,
she wrenched a bread knife from
Rosa Salza's hands and hacked and
stabbed her to death. In her blind
frenzy she inflicted II wounds. Then
she walked three miles through q
binding snow storm to a police sta
ton and gave herself up
Wealthy Italians in all parts of the
United States contributed money to
a fund with which to carry on a legal
fight TO save the woman from the
gallows.
The last execution of a woman in
this state was that of Mrs. Meirhoffer
who murdered her husband.
The last woman put to death in
the East was Martha M. Place of
Brooklyn, who was electrocuted at
Sing Sing in 1899 for the murder of
Ida Place, her step daughter, about
whom she had had quarrels with her
husband. She hacked her to death
with an AK. At that time there was
a general public expression of repug-
nance at the idea of putting a woman
to death for any crime whatsoever.

ALL THE GOURMANDS
ARE NOT DEAD

There are many tales in circula-
ton of the enormous appetites OF
the Poles.
A short time ago, at a marriage
feast, some hundred or more SAT
down to feast at the expense of the
bridegroom.
They Toasted for five days, with
short intervals for sleep, and during
that time they actually consumed an
OK, eight calves, eight sheep, six pigs,
ten geese, 100 ducks and chickens,
and to wash this large quantity OF
carcass down they required thirty
barrels of beer, ten hogsheads of
whiskey, fifty bottles of liquors and
an indefinite quantity OF wine
Nothing is said as to their condi-
ton after the operation, but we
should imagine that they were NOT
among the first callers on the newly
married couple.

THIRD RAIL OF INTERURBAN
ROAD MOVES TOWARD TACOMA

the company the rails are coming
toward Tacoma, very slowly ii IS
true, but surely. This constant shift
ing causes the rails to reach Ovel
into the highway at the road cross
ings, necessitating the cutting off OF
the rail. During this migratory ac-
ton the bonds often catch against
the insulators and tear them from
their fastenings. In some cases the
ties are shifted and turned up on
edge, and in others the insulators are
broken.
Chief Engineer Boswell has been
working for some time trying to To-
cate the cause of the phenomenon
and TO find a remedy for the same
but has been unable to do SO. Fol
a time il was thought the movement
was due TO the contraction of tho
rail, but why it should always be
toward Tacoma is more than anyone
connected with the road is able tC
explain. Everything possible tnaj
might result in relief from the an.
noyance has been resorted to, but az
yet the desired result has not been
obtained.

JOHNSON SENT
TO STEILACOOM

Frank Johnson, the man who got
mixed up with Rev. Reeds pulpit,
has been committed by Judge Chap
man to Steilacoom. His reason for
attempting the preaching act ON
Sunday last was because Rev. Reed
was absent and he didn't see why his
preaching wouldn't do
Johnson was committed to the
asylum from this county September
/, 1900, under the name of G. p.
Johnson. His mania then was direct
ed chiefly against the pope and
Catholics in general. In 1901 he
escaped, but was recaptured.

Quoted the examination, and Messrs.
