jority Of 2G Of the women votes, and
ten of the men votes. Miller receiv-
ed a majority of fifty of the women
votes and 81 of the men votes. The
Record had a majority of 13O women
votes and 92 men votes.
On the governorship, the greatest
difference was noticeable. O'Connor
had majority of 1O5 women votes,
and the men vote on governor was a
tie. Langer had majority of 65 in
the primary, and the straight rerubli-
can vote cast in the county probably
lost O'Connor more than that number.
This is shown by the fact that Steen
and Hall, also on the republican tick
ct, but bitter enemies of Frazier po-
litically, ran much stronger than Fra
zier. Hall had a majority over his
opponent of 319. Steen had 29G.
We are giving herewith the wo-
mems vote by precinct on governor,
sheriff, treasurer, states attorney,
the real estate loan initiated law, and
the official newspaper. At the bot
tom is given. fist. the total women's
vote for each candidate; second, the
total mems vote on each; third, the
total of all votes; with the majoritles
in each case.

CARE OF THE TEETH AND
MOUTH

The physical examination Of school
children shows that in many instances
the teeth are IN decayed and un-
healthy condition Decayed teeth
cause an unclean mouth. Toothache
and disease Of the gums may result.
NEGLECT OF THE FIRST IS A
FREQUENT CAUSE OF DECAY OF
THE SECOND TEETH. If q child
has decayed teeth, it cannot properly
chew its food. Improperly chewed
food and an unclean mouth cause bad

MURDERER WANTS NEW
CHANCE
Penitentiary Evidently Not to His
Liking, and Henry Layer, Slayer
of Whole Family, Repudiates Con-
fession.

Henry Layer, who murdered the Sis
ter of j. B. Bosserl, and her entire
family, near Turtle Lake, last sum-
mer, has evidently become tired Of
prison life, and is attempting to. Sc
cure a new trial by repudiating his
confession.
The discovery of a package con-
tanning g. woman's dust cap on which
there was blood, one real mask and a
piece of material which might have
been used as mask, bound in oil
cloth and resting under a piece OF
card board was advanced today by
Attorney Kelly, Of Kelly and Morris,
of Darlington, as having an import
ant bearing on the discussions as to
whether Layer shall be allowed TO
withdraw his .ple;. of guilty to the
murder of Sr.. and Mrs. Jacob W,.,f
and six 9th. IS near Turtle Lake and
have a trial. s. .-.. ...,.. --..
The package, Mr.. Kelly said he
was informed, was found by little
girl, who now lives on the Wolf
farm. 1t was presented during his
presentation to Judge Nuessle in dis
trict court today of a motion on be-
half Of Layer for new trial.
"This might be evidence that Layer
had some help and that it was wo-
man who helped him." said Mr. Kelly.
Resist the Motion
States Attorney John Williams, Of
Mclean county, who, with Attorney
General LANCER, resisted the motion
of Layer, said that there was ques-
tion as to whether or not the package
was found. He said that when he
heard of the matter he investigated
and that he got possession of wo-
mans cap, bloody inside; that one OF
the so-called masks was a piece OF
underclothing which was saturated
with stove-blacking.
The little girl, he said, played with
the cap for few days before the par.
ents noticed and asked where she
found it. @
1T is strange it wasn't found be,
FORE" said Williams.
Hundreds of. people searched owe,
every foot of the Wolf farm after the
murder 1t is said that a real mask
also was found. The package was
said to have been wrapped in oil
cloth but this was wrinkled, and die
not have the appearance OF having
been wrapped around anything.
He said the little girl said she found
the package in some brush.

dies in school. It is more likely to
contract contagious disease, and it
has not the proper chance to grow
into a robust, healthy adult. BRUSH
ING AND CLEANING WILL PRE-
VENT DECAY OF THE TEETH.
Your teeth should last lifetime. If
the cfild's teeth are decayed it should
be taken to the dentist at once, but
prevention is better than cure.

decay and other tooth defects, many
so slight that timely attention woule

The receipts for the quarter just ended, according to Clerk Bell, are slightly in excess ofthose for the same quarter last year when $12,- 985.78 was turned back to the var ious municipalities, showing an in crease of $1,30900 This is almost entirely accounted for by the addi- tion of Sitka this year to last years list with SLIPS, making the actual increase fer the quarter $184.
 Alaska Fund Decreases.
 The Alaska Fund receipts, how ever, show a considerable decrease over those for the same period of last year when a total of $18,2S794 was received. The deficit of $4.- 360.S2, stated MT. Bell, is more than accounted for by non-receipt of can nery taxes and will be more than made good sometime during the year. During the first quarter of the last fiscal year seven canneries paid taxes amounting to $15,77224 while only five canneries have remitted tcxes for the same period this year, amounting to $10,9S0.34, a decrease of $4,791.9Q.
 Taxes Slow Coming In.
 Tho canneries, said MT Bell, are slow in coming in No definite time is set in the Jaw by which payment must be made, which results in great irregularity in payment. Sev- eral of the 90 canneries operating in this Division, he said. have not yet paid their taxes for last sea sons pack.
