Cox Explains His Action.

Meantime Cox had returned to Be
rea, hunted up Baker, explained what
he had done, and expressed his de-
sire of reimbursing him, when he was
informed that it was now too late,
for Wade Hurd had been arrested and
was in jail charged with the crime.
Cox caught the next train for Rich
mond and just as all plans had been
completed for the trial he walked into
the court house and went directly TO
the Judge. The crowd was amazed
when, little later, he took the wit
ness stand, and said: ''Wade Hurd is
innocent and 1 am guilty" He broke
down and wept for five minutes, then
continuing he said: 81 am Isom Cox;
my home is in Estill county"

Teeth and tuberculosis.

In this years Harvard Summer
school session several instructive
evening lectures have been given by
men well informed in relation to car
ing for children quite outside of text
book matters. Prof. Potter, who Is a
teacher in the Harvard Dental school,
gave to the summer students several
valuable talks on the care OF chill
dren's teeth He said that, as in other
branches of medicine, prevention was
often more valuable than cure. His
examples of this sort of prevention
were taken from the experiences OF
doctors and teachers in the public
schols of Brooklyn where every pupil
undergoes a dental examination,
which is followed mp by other iuspec-
tons and reports as to the interest
and care which the child receives from
its parents.
From our dental examinations in
the Broowline school," he said. I'VE
have gained valuable data, AID we be-
lieve that the children and the COM
munity have been benefited by the en-
forced care Of the pupns' teeth. In
general, such enforced care leads to
better teeth. and as a result better
physical health and better mental
power Moreover. care of the teeth
in people Of all ages helps to- put
stop to tuberculosis We round among
the children even or sucn a town. as
Brcokline that decay was very pre-
valent: that while many OF the chill
dren had dental care of some sort II
was not always scientific; in many
cases no thought Of such care seemed
to exist in the minds Of the parents
After the first examination OF child 5
teeth we notified the parents or guar
dian of our finding. suggesting that
the child be taken to practitioner.
or, IL conditions did nc. allow that. we
saw that the patient was sent either
to the Harvard Dei.tal School or 70

THIRD WARD CITIZENS SHOULD
BE GRATiFlED.

Tho announcement that Alderman
G ptezold. of the Third ward, has
severed his connection with the post
Office should be particularly gratiiy-
ing 10 the citizens of East End. Inc
question of whether or not Mr. fe'2-
old could legally hold his seat In the
council while acting as an agent ior
the postal service in charge OF the
East End sub station had been
raised. and 1t seemed PROB
able that the ruling would be IN
the negative. Mr.. Pctzold's action In
resigning his employment under POST
master Hopkins settles the controver-
sy. and makes /; certain that the
Third ward will not lose a member
who promises to prove valuable.
The circumstance under which Mr..
Petzold was elected TO the board oil
aldermen make II especially desirable
that he should continue TO hold the
Office. at least until the voters OF the
ward shall have an opportunity OF
choosing his successor by ballot.
There was division of sentiment IN
the ward over the election Of an al
derman to hll the vacancy caused
by the resignation of Dr. Hoskins. and
DR.. Longan. the surviving member
from the ward. nominated for the
vacancy citizen whom the
majority of the body positive
iy refused to elect. Dr.. Lon
San insisted upon his choice. and
for time the board was confronted
was a decidedly embarrassing situa-
tion. However. the name of Mr..
Petzold settled the difficulty. When
he was placed in nomination an unani-
nous election followed, and all par
ties concerned we're satisfied. The
selection pleased all factions in the
ward. and the new members business
ability combined with his personal
popularity among his constituents
peculiarly fitted him fos membership
In the council.
As the legality o: Mr.. Petzoid's
election has been question and the
council has appointed a committee TO
investigate the question. probably 1t
would b. well fo- the council at its
next meeting to aEsin formally elect
the ned Third ward member TO men,
bcrxhip. At least il would be advisa-
sle to have City Attorney Massie give
an opinion on the Subject and take
such action. Il any. as he may recon-
mcnf. in order to eliminate the pos
sibility Of any further trouble IN the
future.

While admitting that there is some
thing novel i'll the new plan of con-
| trolling the liquor traffic, the prohibi-
tionists are enthusiastic in proclaim
ing tire law to be one of the most
natural temperance measures ever
enacted in any state, and they are
said to be preparing for the literal
enforcement of the provisions of the
law.

societies be formed to give the force

bers of drinking people favoring such

class that the system Of treating has
become a nuisance i'm that it has be-

a drink without either treating or be-
ing treated, the result being that

WATERFOWL TO BE SECOND.

s Il. Goepfert, who has been ac-
tive in the campaign for a Y. NJ. C. A.
building in Watertown. writes Public
Opinion as follows:
On Monday Brookings was all ex-
Icitement over their Y. NJ c. A. build
ing Horace Fishback had subscribed
81 600 to- start the movement, and Mr.
ISeXauer agreed to blow the mill whis-
tie five times for every $500 subscrib-
ed.
The committee started out Monday
and Kept the whistle blowing so fast
that Mr.. Sexauer had to shut down
the mill on account of using all the
steam to blow the whistle to record
tne subscriptions.
1t looks now as if the little city
south of US on the Sioux will have
the distinction of having the first Y
NJ C. A. building in South Dakota.
Why cant Watertown be at least
econd?-Public Opinion.
