Appendicitis is often due to bad

both In defective teeth and In the dis.
eased appendix, which proved that den

pendicitis.
81 see no evidence TO show that our
teeth are deterOrnting to an alarming
extent with the growth of civilizations"
he declared, and he pointed out that an
even larger proportion of diseased
teeth had been found among Egyptian
and Roman remains than existed at
present.
Tobacco has an injurious effect on
the Digestion" he went on, but | do
not think that nicotine has any more
effect on the teeth than alcohol. But
tobacco certainly blackens the teeth
and so causes many persons who are
careful of their personal appearance
to brush their teeth more often than
they would otherwise do"
He had found cod liver oil amazingly
successful in promoting the growth of
teeth In children, and he recommended
the toothbrush drill as part Of the cur
riculum of schools. DIR. Thompson al
so urged the practice Of washing the
teeth after meals and rubbing them
twice n day, and particularly the last
thing at night.-LondOn Mail.

The banshec Is the domestic ghost or
spirit attached to certain Irish or high
land Scottish households and Is sup
posed to take an interest in the wei
fare Of the family generally, and espe-
clally to wall ut the death of any one
Of Its members. The banshee Is pic
tured in Irish folklore under the form
of little old woman with long hair,
which she continually combs, at the
same time keeping up an incessant
weeping ana wailIng. The incident
Of the como Is exactly similar to the
legend Of the German lorelel, a spirit
which sings, while the banshee weeps,
as an accompaniment. The proud dis
tlnctlon of possessing Il private ban
shee is allowed only to families of pure
Milesian stock. The word Is derived
from the Gaelic ban-sith, woman

WILL REQUEST COUNCIL TO
RECONSIDER SIDEWALK ORDI-

Petition NumerousIy Signed Will Be
Presented to City Lawmakers at
Adjourned Meeting Tonight.

The property owners in the paved
district of Walla Walla will make a
strong protest tonight at the city coun-
Gil meeting against the ordinance pass
ed requiring all sidewalks to be placed
on the grade. A petition has been pre-
pared and numerously signed request
ing the council to reconsider the ordi-
nance. The petitioners set forth that
if the ordinance becomes city law it
will force many Of the property own
ers to expend an immense amount of
money in replacing their present
walks. 1t is expected that many of the
property owners will be present at the
council and make personal protests to
the council.
Mayor Hunt has not yet signed the
ordinance and probably will not affix
his name to the document until the
property owners have had an oppor-
tunity of presenting their views to the
council.

FOUR HORSES DIED AFTER

Reported Poisoning of Two Men
Proved Untrue-Sheriff Painter
Making Investigation.

That .strychnine was placed in the
watering trough on the farm of M.
Steen near Clyde, and four horses that
drank water from the trough are dead
is a settled fact, but how the strycn-
nine came in the trough or who placed
it there is unknown. This is what
Sheriff Painter is now endeavoring to
ferret out
DR.. G. A. Hauber who accompanied
an investigation returned last night
and this morning made a test Of a
large quantity of the crystals which
had been found in the trough. The
test showed conclusively that it was
strychnine.
When the sheriff and the doctor
reached Prescott they were informed
that the report that two men had been
poisoned was untrue, but that the four
horses had died after drinking the
water.
There appears to be considerable
mystery surrounding the case and it
may take Sheriff Painter considerable
time to ascertain the true facts.
1t is said that several persons re-
siding near the Steen farm were sus
picioned by the farmers, but the au
thorities are of the opinion that these
suspicious are wrong.

DEFlES PREMIER LAURIER

WINNIPEG, Man., April I'm con-
nection with the creation of two new
provinces in the Canadian northwest,
the old province of Manitoba has put
forth it's acknowledged claims for an
extension of boundaries, particular in
northerly direction, thus giving an
outlet on Hudson bay for grain to
British markets.
Manitoba was formed from an old
derstanding at the time that it should
have big increase in territory. This
has been denied, and the provincial
government has seized the opporuni
ty presented by the Introduction of the
autonomy bills in the federal house at
Ottawa to push it's demands. Sir Will
frid Laurier has resolutely refused
Manitoba's requests and the opinion is
widespread that this snub is due to
the recent action of Manitoba in abol
ishing separate schools, and it is open
ly charged that the Roman Catholic
hierarchy is responsible for the out
rage.
Because of this and the determined
agitation against the proposals of the
French Canadian majority at Ottawa
to perpetuate the separate schools
principle in the constitution of the
new provinces, a dangerous state of
public opinion precails in the north
west and Protestant Canada, VITA
every prospect of a radical and secta
rian agitation that threatens a perma-
nent breach.
The Winnipeg Tribune hurled a
firebrand into the powder magazine by
declaring that it has authority for the
statement that the provincial govern
| ment, which has large majority and
| two years to run, will appeal to the
| country on the boundary extension and
educational questions.
Such a course would be absolutely
unprecedented in Canadian history
and would create a situation, the out
| come Of which is pregnant with the
gravest potentialities.
When seen by reporter, Premier
Robin was exceedingly noncommittal,
| only saying that the best of relations
existed between the lieutenant COVER
| nor, Sir Daniel Macmillan, and him.
self However, Robert Rogers, minis
ter of public works, one of the most
powerful members of the cabinet, was
not at all adverse to giving his opinion
and said that he hoped the announce
ment was true and that Manitoba
would have an opportunity to register
it's protests against the invasion by
the provincial authorities of provincial
| rights and in favor of freedom for
every citizen.
| Announcement Of dissolution is ex-
pected soon. 1t will be a challenge to
| Sir Wilifrid Laurier and the nierar-
chy by the province Of Manitoba and
the Protestant majority of the west
Macmillan is said to have positive
| ly refused his consent necessary to
dissolution and an explosion is looked
| for.
