Neglect of the Teeth

There is nothing for which one pays
so dearly as for the neglect of his
teeth. Where the teeth are filled in
nroper time. before the decay has pro-
crossed far, the work requires but lit
tie time, the expense is small and the
pain is but slight. But if tn tooth has
been neglected until the pulp is ex-
posed or has died and started an abb
scess or until the tooth has broken
down beyond repair, it requires consid-
cradle time to treat and fill the tooth,
or to build it up and crown it. or to
extract and replace it with a bridge,
consequently the expense is much
greater. And all of the pain which
the aching or abscessed tooth caused
before the dentist IS visited might be
avoided If the work were done at the
proper time. Do not neglect your
teeth but have them attended to be-
fore they cause you any trouble.

Dentists.

FITZGERALD CALLS HALT
Thinks Too Many Senate Journals Are
Printed.

Lieutenant Governor w. ]. Fitzger-
aid. president of the Kansas state SEN
ate. is trying to find some way to re-
duce the number of copies of senate
journals to be printed by the state
printer from 1000 to 500 copies. State
Printer T. A. McNeal thinks that under
the law, 1000 copies will have to be is
sued.
Mr.. McNeal sent to Mr. Fitzgerald a
few days ago requisition for him to
sign for 1000 copies of the senate jour-
nal. Mr.. Fitzgerald returned the re-
QUESTION without his signature, asking
whether it would not be possible to re-
duce the number of copies to 500.
Il quite agree with Mr.. Fitzgerald
that there is no use in printing 1000
copies of the senate journal, but 1 can't
see any way out of It," said Mr.. Nc
Neal this morning. LAS nearly as I can
figure, it will take about six or seven
whom the law says shall have copies,
and leave a few on hand for general
purposes. The remaining 800 copies are
just so much junk. There will never be
any use for them, and the state will
be out the cost of their publication.
1000 copies of each of the legislative
journals, and even this is a very mater
ial reduction from the number of copies
which used to be printed under the old
system of private contract.
81 expect that it will be month be-
fore the senate or house journal are
ready for distribution. The law says
that the state printer shall prepare the
index to the two books, but the 1egiSla-
ture paid the chief clerks to do this
work, and 1 am expecting them to do
il. Each chief clerk received 81, 900 to
the copy and preparing the index for
the book"

RUSSIA AND JAPAN.

The signing Sunday at the foreign
office in St. Petersburg of the treaties Of
commerce, navigation and fishery be-
tween Russia and Japan will be followed
shortly by the publication Of political
entente wiping out the last traces of the
contentious and hostilities arising from
the late war.
The Russian foreign Office yesterday
admitted officially that general politi-
cal agreement between the two States
was in course Of preparation; that the
negotiations to this end had almost
reached their conclusion, and that the
signatures would be affixed to the docu-
ment within few days.
This entente is conceived along the
same general lines as the recent similar
agreement between France and Japan.
Under its terms Russia and japan will
mutually guarantee their rig hts sud ter
ritory.
The relations between Russia and
Japan are on such satisfactory basis
that the recent occurrences in Korea ex-
ercised no influence upon them. Russia,
who considers herself bound by the
treaty of Portsmouth, is content TO give
other nations, whose hands are free, a
chance to champion the Koreans.

countrymen here of sums varying from

Later this afternool an indictment
charging Father MartOogessian with at
tempted robbery was returned by the

suit Against Powder Trust.

Wilmington, Del, July 30-Ip the
very stronghold of Its enemy, the federal
government today began its long-herald-

trust. A feature of unusual significance
is that Henry A. Dupont, United States
Senator from Delaware, is made one of
a score of individual defendants to the
action which charges combination
and conspiracy in restraint of trade, and
which not only asks for an Injunction
restraining the individuals and twenty
six separate corporations, from further
operation of the powder aud dynamite
business, but prays that receiver be
appointed for the leading companies

tons under the direction of the federal
court, until the conditions 10 the powder
and dynamite trade in the United States,
and in its commerce with foreign nations
shall be in harmony with law. The
bill in equity was filed here today by
John P. Niels, District Attorney, and J.
V. Roadstrum, the special agent of the
Department of Justice, who, for over
eight months, has been probing the
affairs of the trust.

believes is a lunatic with s.murderous
grudge against the service. The mys-

ever found of his murderer. After Park

were driven from the Office in rapid success
sion by strange happenings, which many
of them attributed to the supernatural.
Left alone at night they told of pistol
shots, blood-curdling yells aud the sound
of opening and closing Of doors. None
of the operators stayed more than three
months and some left after one night OF
horror. The last act of the mystery oc-
