Abilene weekly reflector., 1911-11-09

Today the dentists Of the Fifth
district and part Of the Sixth were
Abilene's guests. They came to at
tend the annual meeting of the North
Central Dental Society of Kansas In
session at the Abilene commercial
club rooms.
The meeting was scheduled to be-
gin at ii o'clock this morning, but
because dentists from the north and
east were unable to reach Abilene
until noon, 1t did not start until 2
o'clock this afternoon.
G.. A. Crise, Manhattan, gave "a
fine address on phenakit cement. He
was followed by H. T.. Harvey, Sa-
lima, who in an interesting way ex-
planned the simple method of steel
facings. Isaac Sundberg, Riley, then
told of the new use for the steel
facings. G. X. Weaver, Clay Cen
ter. gave a complete explanation Of
quick plate repair. Monte Giants,
Cawker City, explained the use Of
the Simplex casting machine. J.. M.
Coulter, Minneapolis, made an in
teresting address on dentistry.
After a short intermission G. G.
Corey, Council Grove, read a paper
on "oral Hygiene-Firing Line.
This subject was opened to discussion
by @. A. Crise Of Manhattan. J. L.
Smith, Washington, had an inter-
esting paper telling of the diseases
of the antrum. 1t was opened for
discussion by-J. ]. Moore, Concordia.
A discussion of gutta percha follow
ed, a paper on this subject being
read by c. D. osterhout, Clay Cen
ter. G. P. Warner then told how
one contracted neuralgia and how
the disease might be treated. Al
fred Rothchild of salina furnished
the afternoons program with an In
terestlng paper on Public Educa-
ton with Reference to Modern Dem
tistry."
Tonight R. 2. NIckles gives an
address which will be followed BY
the election Of officers.
The meeting next year will prob
hbly be held at Manhattan-that Is
the popular sentiment among the
dentists. However, there Is some
talk Of the meeting going to salina,
but the State Dental Association
meets there next and for that reason
will probably give Manhattan the
preference.
You did not notice any Abileneites

IN NAMING
 BOWMAN'S SUCCESSOR
Reported Yesterday That Appoint ment Might Not Be Made for
 Several Days Yet

Birmingham Is awaiting anXlously the appointment of a back tax commits sioner of Jefferson county. According to the tip from Montgomery which was published in The Age-Herald Wednes- day it is very probable that the gov ernor will announce the appointment Monday or Tuesday. It was reported yesterday, however, that Governor O'Neal will await his return from Cin- cinnati, where he goes to deliver an address December T, before making the appointment
 Thomas J. Judge, the young Birmlng- ham attorney and member of the legis- lature, who Is in the race for the job, has returned from Montgomery where he interviewed the governor. MT. Judge has the indorsement of the three state tax commissioners. He did not discuss what took place in Montgomery,' but he says that he is still in the running.
 Others mentioned are Captain J. N Allen. Judge E. w. Booker, Judge John H. Miller and Ross c. Smith.
 Save to quiet the excitement, 1t Is pointed out that there is no special reason why the governor should hurry up the appointment, as there will be comparatively little work for the new commissioner prior to next spring.

PASTORS UNION ID
 CONSIDER CRIME
Dr. Eaves Compares Jeffer- son County Murders With
 Those in England

That the reign of lawlessness said about in the past would be the sub- ject considered by committee from the Pastors union tomorrow was the announcement of Dr. George Eaves yesterdayl He added that the commit- tee hoped to arouse public sentiment to the boiling point by a plan they would try to formulate and that some action would be taken to insure safety for human life here.
 "In London, with its vast population, the murder rate is about one to every 1,000,000,' said pr. Eaves, while in Jefferson county there are 76 murders are about 760 murders in this com munity to one in England. In Jeffer- son county there has been committed S9 times as many murders as there were committed in the whole of Eng land in the same length of time. To 7,000,000 British people there are r murders, and in Jefferson county with her 100000, there are 15S, from the latest figures.
 Tt is up to the preachers of this community and the good people here to remedy these conditions. Something must be done The committee from the Pastors union hopes to outline some plan whereby the situation may be faced inteligently.
 Tn this connection I expect to deal with murders in my sermon tomorrow night. l propose to take up the Me- Namara case with it's henious record and talk plainly. I deprecate that case more than any crime of modern times"
 Dr. Eaves. who is from England and is a writer. minister and thinker of wide reputation Is active in plans for the union committee meeting of the pastors tomorrow.

 This harmless blessing will digest any thing you can eat without the slightest discomfort and overcome a sour, gassy stomach five minutes after.
 Tell your pharmacist to let you read the formula, plainly printed on these 50-cent cases of Papes Diapepsin, then you will readily see why it makes in- digestion, sour stomach, heartburn and other distress go in five inmates, and re- neves at once such miseries as belch- ing of gas, eructations of sour, undi- gested food, nausua, headaches, dizzi- ress constipation and other stomach dis- orders.
 Some folks have tried so long to find relief from indigestion and dyspepsia or an out-of- order stomach with the com mon, everyday cures advertised that they have about made up their minds that they have something else wrong, or believe theirs is a case of nervousness, gastrltis, catarrh of the stomach or can cer.
 This. no doubt, Is a serious mistake Your real trouble is what you eat does not digest; instead. 1t ferments and sours. turns to acid, gas and stomach poison, which purify In the digestive tract and intestines. and besides, poison the breath with nauseous odors.

MIRACLES THREAT
 DID NOT MAKE GOOD
Sheriff Vanbevers Reports the Man Accused of Murder Will Be
 Tried Soon

The threat of Carl Miracle, "You've either got to kill me before we get there. or I'll escape" made to Sheriff Robert Vanbevers when the latter was preparing to take Miracle back to Pineville Ky. to answer a charge of double murder pend ing against him there. Is proved to be an empty one by a telegram received by The Age-Herald from Sheriff Vanbevers last night
 Miracle is charged with the murder of a man and woman in August and has been al large since the deed was commit ted. He did not attempt to deny the charge, and talked of the details with as- tonishing boldness.
 The telegram received from Sheriff Vanbevers follows:
 "Pinevile, Ky, December ?. ""Age-Herald Birmingham, Ala

COL. GREENE SAYS
 "NO SECOND CHOICE"
Pell City Politician States He Is Con- yinced the People Want Under-
 wood as Only Choice

If the arrangement for sending a dele- gation from Alabama to the national con- vention is left to Col. Gardner Greene the we'll known politician of Pell City. the people of Alabama will not have an op- portunity next spring to express them selves as concerns d second choice for the presidential nomination.
 Colonel Greene, 1t might be said, will have something to do with that arrange ment, too, for he is a member of the state democratic executive committee. He passed through. Birmingham yesterday en route to Montgomery, where he had business before the supreme court. Yes- terday morning as he boarded the Louis vile and Nashville train, he said: q am inclined to the belief that there should be a primary for the election of delegates 10 the national convention. There are sev- eral close counties in Alabama. and the Democrats have been able to hold them on account of the primary system
 But as for holding a primary for the purpose of giving the people of Alabama an opportunity to express themselves as second choice for the president tial nomination, believe the idea Is ab- surd. The people, in the first place, do not want to express themselves. am convinced, as favoring anybody save MT. Underworld The average Alabamian is not constructed along the second choice line. His stuff is of stiffer variety
 T believe that were the Alabama de1e- getion instructed to vote first for Under wood and then for Harmon. Clark, Mar shall or Gaynor. MT. Underwood would not consider himself complimented. I am inclined to believe. on the other hand, that he would decline the negative honor.
 q feel safe in predicting that the com mfttee in it's session December 20 will not provide for an expression concerning a second choice /"

RUDOLPH GANZ TO BE
 HERE NEXT SUNDAY
Second of the Matinee Musicales Ar ranged By Mrs. Truman
 Aldrich, Jr.

Rudolph Gang, who will give piano recital at the Jefferson theatre sunday afternoon. December 10, Is most dis tinpuished artist He comes under the auspices of Mrs. Truman Aldrich, Jr., this being the second concert this sea- son of the series of matinee musicales arranged by her.
 The New York Sun of last Wednes- day had an extended criticism of the concert by the Volpe orchestra, at which MT. Gang appeared as sololst playing the Tschaikowsky concerto. In referring to the concerto the Sun says in part:
 Tt would be difficult, if not impossi- ble, to recall another performance Tn which the brilliancy of the music had a more satisfying disclosure. MT. Gang revelled in the large phrases, the plangent utterances of the first and last allegros, and the massive chal- lenges of the orchestra by the solo in- strument Mr. Volpe let loose tor rent of orchestral tone in the fortes, but the song of the piano rose ever triumphant.
 And this must not be interpreted as meaning that MT. Gang played only forcibly. His reading had musical pro- portions and not few moments or genuine eloquence. Technically it was a splendid exhibition of virile virtuosity cast in the large mould. The enthusiasm of the audience was prolonged and thor oughly merited."
 Mir. Ganz's recital programme for December 10 has been received here. It is varied and popular. The Liszt-Bach number, which opens the programme, is meant for the Lszt anniversary eel ebration. Mir. Gang is the first to play this brilliant work in the United States.
 Several novelties appear on the pro- gramme, including group by Blanchet. a Swiss composer who is rapidly be- ing recognized. The full programme follows:
 Liszt-variations on theme by Bach (Weinen- Klagen).
 Beethoven-Sonata in r minor (Ap- passionata). op. 57; (a) Allegro Assai (b) Andante Con Moto, Co Allegro ma non troppo. Presto.
 Blanchet-(a) Prelude in G flat, (b) Serenade in G flat.
 Mendelssohn = (a) Song without words (b) Scherzo F minor.
 Ganz-(a) Marche fantastique. op. 10; tb) Melodie in G, op. 10; Co Etude caprice, op. IA.

negro told a straightforward story, and despite the rigid cross examination of the attorney he stuck to his story and refused to be shaken in his testimony.
 The old man was caught in the place by the officers with the goods in his pos session, and evidently was not aware the ban had been raised, as 1t were, and was under the impression that he was a party to the suit. After telling the court all about the transaction, he went into the details of his .'fambly'' history.
 "Yassah, jedge. Ise bin Twin in Bur- >min'ham for mo dan 30 yeahs. all de white faks knows me. Tse worked for the Mudds an de Mahtins an de Walkers an Jedge Stiles an"

 You swear you only took one drink; tell the court what became of the rest of it.'
 The old darkey looked at the bottle, then looked intently at the officer, afraid of impeachng his testimony, and slowly said. "Jedge, ah declar ah don know what come O date gin onless hit 'vap- orated.

It Is a well known fact that the older element of the colored population take much pride in the ''fambly'' connections. This applies of courses to the white peo- pie who had formerly owned them,s or who had later hired them as servants. Whenever one of these old' negroes gets into the police court, as they sometimes do, they never fail to tell of de white folks they formerly served, both as an evidence of their fancied responsibility, and In the hope it will help them in their trouble.

will notice briefly the statement of Com missioner Weatherly as to the water works company. When the waterwoiks contract was entered into, Birmingham was in its swaddling clothes. It needed pure water for it's citizens, and more water for its manufacturing plants It was not accessible from any point near here. and had to be brought seven miles from Cahaba river. This required a greater, outlay than the city could afford, and 1t vas absolutely essential to the health of our people and to the progress of cur city. Would it not be absolutely lndefenslble for the city, now, with it's growth in wealth and population, to ex- tend the waterworks contract? Would any one of the commissioners favor such an extension? This disposes of the ilogi- cal al gument; but, presuppC sing that it was not a good contract, at the time, could that justify this commission in making another bad contract? The city has the right under this contract to reg ulate the prices to private consumers
 q have always regarded 1t as alto. gether unnecessary for persons to be- come panic stricken when the day is lost This matter should be looked upon in a conservative way, all of us remembering that abuse is not argument, and assertisn n is not proof. l desire every citizen to look the matter squarely in the face, not with prejudice, but with courage. and when they go to the polls to vote according to their judgment and conscience. I have no doubt as to the result, and that the majority will be overwhelming against the contract"
