DON'T PULL TEETH NOW.
And Even When They Do, Laughing
Gas ia Seldom Used ANY More.


According to one Norfolk dentist,
the time is approaching when the now
seldom used Laughing gas" case will
never be opened. The reason for this
is that teeth are nowadays seldom ex-
tracted. and when they are, they give
the patient very little pain, conse-
quently it is better to refrain from
using the laughing gas"
There was time when our profits
were made from extracting teeth
alone" says one Norfolk dentist.
That time has passed. People take
better care of the teeth and our work
is In the line of filling, bridging, etc.
The laughing gas was once as much
required as was chloroform, but those
days are past"
1t also develops from this dentists
conversation that Norfolk dentists
have as little OF their dental work
done In Norfolk as possible.
That Is not because we are afraid
of our competitors" says this dentist,
but because we usually are too busy
or We make it a point to wait until
we have a dental meeting OF the as

Against Canadian Pact.

Sioux City, Ia, Feb. 25.-The Canad-
ian reciprocity pact was denounced as
measure discriminating against the
farmer in the resolution which passed
the final session of the Interstate
Breeders association. Asserting that
the association was strongly opposed
to the Canadian pact in it's present
form, the breeders declared that if the
American farmer and stockman must
submit to free trade, the manufac-
turers should be required to meet the
same conditions. The draft of the
resolutions also included a plea to
confess to pass a parcels post bill.

Natural Sites For Forts.

The natural features Of the canal
terminl seem almost made for forts.
On the Atlantic side there are necks
of land that would make an ideal site
for n bunch of fourteen inch and other
guns. while at the Pacific entrances
there are three or four cute little Is
lands that appear specially designed
for the purpose and. heaven knows,
will never serve any other. Failure to
take advantage of these sites placed
rendy at our hand would be little less
than impious, say the fort supporters.
1t Is designed to build the forts while
Colonel Goethals is still on the job. In
his way much time and expense can
be saved. Besides, the work will be
sure to get finished. Goethals has a
habit of going through with anything

priation. Lnndslides have no terrors
to him. He simply continues shoveling

with extraordinary artistic skill and

that her ardent wish was to be able to

Committee Yielded to clamor.
Senator Hale, who will retire March
4, said the committee had yielded to
public clamor and the charge that
the bill was to be suppressed, and had
reported 1t against the real sentiment
of large majority of the committee.
He served notice that the bill
would have to go to the calendar to
take its course and any effort on the
part of any one of whatever au.

be an unwarranted assumption of
power.
Senator Bailey of Texas, a demo.

presented by Mr.. Burrows.
Says 1t Won't Help Farmer.
Declaring his opposirion to 1t, he
expressed the opinion that the best
interests of the agriculturists would
be served by the defeat of the bill.
In pointing out some of the discrimi.
nations from his point of view, the
Texas senator said that while the
agreement admitted wheat and cattle
free, it retained the duty on flour and
beef meat.
"Civilized people eat flour and not
wheat; beef and not cattle"
ut is true" he said that the
agreement provided for a free wood
pulp, but this change in the tariff
laws would mean the loss of almost
100000 of revenue to the treasury an
nually."
He had been informed, he said, that
this change would be worth $5,000,000
to the newspaper and magazine pub
fishers but for himself, he could not
consent to measure which gave such
preference to the rich as against the
poor and needy.
Senator Hale concurred in all that
Mr.. Bailey had said and added that
while the bill had been reported with
out recommendation the committee
had done so in face of the fact that
an unquestioned majority could other

hoping the same thing for over 1000
years. Twenty-six hundred years ago
Isaiah wrote that they shall! beat
their swords into plowshares and their
spears into pruning hooks" We still
believe that they" will do this. but
the nations have not done it yet and
give no certain indication when they
will. The powers run Il race in build
ing Dreadnoughts and increasing ar
maments. Moreover. the advocates of
fertilization at Panama insist that this
would be defensive rather than an
offensive measure. 1t would make for
peace rather than war. 1t would dis
courage and not invite attack. The
Notifications would be no menace to
commerce. They would never be used
except against an enemy Of the canal
or an enemy Of the country owning
the canal.
For Police Duty.
Another argument in favor Of forti-
flcations is that they are necessary in
the proper policing Of the great water
neutrality. The duty Of policing and
protecting the canal and Of making 1t
neutral rests on the United States gov
eminent. Who then can object If we
take the necessary steps to perform
our duty!
The weakness of an international
agreement for assuring the neutrality
of the canal Is that an international
agreement would necessarily consist of
treaties between individual nations.
and In time of war such treaties are
hardly worth the paper on which they
are written. Besides. what Is to pre-.
vent some irresponsible nation that Is
not a signatory to the agreement from
infiicting injury on the waterway?
Even II there were an understanding
somebody would still have to police
the canal, and for this purpose some
sort Of fertilization would be essential.
From the American viewpoint there
would be another fatal defect In the
plan. In case Of war. say. between the
United States and Japan there would
be nothing to prevent a japanese fleet
from passing through the canal and
attacking the Atlantic coast. Thus the
waterway we ourselves had built
would be used for our own injury.

Is Ignoring Injunction.

A unique situation has developed as
a result of the Northwestern railroad
taking off a passenger train each way
per day between Norfolk and Long
Pine. The trains were taken off by
the railroad company a week ago last
Sunday, permission to abandon the
trains having been granted by the
state railway commission. Attorney
M. f. Harrington has secured a tenn
porary injunction from the district
court in Holt county, Judge J. J. Har-
rington, to restrain the railroad from
abandoning the trains until hearing
can be had before the railroad com
mission. But in the meantime the
railroad is disregarding the injunction
and the trains have been taken off.
Mr.. Harrington has written letters
to newspapers in towns between Nor
folk and Long Pine declaring that the
railroad secured permission to take
the trains off before the public present
ed its side of the case, and asking the
public to see that the trains are used
now as much as IN the past.
Owing to the railroads action, how.
ever, the trains are not running and
therefore can't be used.

Nels Hanson Now Prohibition Taiker

Nels Hanson Now Prohibition Taiker.
From cigar salesman to lecturer on
the prohibition platform Is the record
of Nels Hanson, well known saloon
list and cigar salesman who five years
ago disappeared from Norfolk after
"stinging" his friends and a number
OF business men for various sums.
News of Hanson is brought to Nor
folk for the first time in a number of
years, from very good authority. A
travelling salesman who knew Hanson
well in Norfolk was surprised when
accosted in a fashionable hotel In
Texas city by Hanson.
The former cigar salesman and sa-
loonist was CARRIED in a beautiful
Prince Albert coat, tall silk hat and
plenty of jewelry. He lost no time in
telling his friend from the north Of his
good fortune and how much money ne
was making telling the people Of the
south why they should not drink
liquor of any kind. He exhibited a
contract under which he was lecturing
which showed that Hanson receives
5000 for three speeches.
III ever go broke I'm going to
make money by making prohibition
speeches." Hanson told a Norfolk
friend just before disappearing and 1t
seems that he is making good" All
of HansOn's friends here know that
he is capable Of making money and
also Of spending 1t.
I'm bet he Is tanked every night, :"
says one OF his friends.
After selling his saloon at Stuart,
Neb., where he Is we'll known, Hanson
accepted a position as cigar salesman
for the Dutiel Cigar company Of Lin
coin and became known through this
territory as most successful and per.
sistent salesman. He refused to talk
business In a saloon until he had
shown himself to be a good spender
and at the same time refused to leave
until he had sold about 5000 cigars.
He gave a number OF champaRne
suppers In Norfolk and when at Stu
art he often took his friends 20 Sioux
City at his own expense to show them
a good time.
One night he and his family disap-
