partial plate, are unable to properly mas
ticate their food, and food not properly
Biaatlcated pasties Into the stomach un

dyspepsia and from that to acute dys
pepsia stomach trouble, unlold misery
and finally death. Oood teeth meana good
health, and by our method we can restore
your miming te,eth that will answer all
purposes 1 teeth were Intended.
Please read the following from Mr.
Johnson and see what he has to say of our
method of restoring teeth without plates
or bridge work:
Dr. B. n. L. MurpHy,
Dear fSIr: I am very nrurh pleaded wllh
the work you did fori m Inst fall. The
missing teeth you put In wltrt your Al
veolar Method are as solid and firm as
my own. They are air you claim and
more, and I would not part with thein for
any price. I can recommend you and your
method to anyone In need of dental work.
You may use this letter a you will.
Thanking you for your splendid services,
I remain, '
Tours respectfu'.ly,
(Slgned) NILS JOHNSON.

Unfortunately, dentestry cannot be done
by mall, nor at long range. The patient
must come to our office for an examina
tion of his teeth, but we believe that no
sacrifice of time or money Is too great
to stand In the way of having this ex
amination If you need this work.
Regarding the expense we would say
that we do not charge more than any
first-class dentist wouid ask for the ordi
nary method. The ordinary piece of work
takes from two to four days to complete.
There la no surgical work connected with
this work, nothing about It to be dreaded.
It Is practically a painless operation.
All we ask Is that you have two or more
teeth In either gum for use to work with.
Am a general rule It makes no matter
whether the teeth are loose, or tight, we
will restore them to a sound, healthy con
dition. The tightening of loose teeth,
which has become diseased through Py
orrhea, Is one of the secrets of this pro
cess, and one that adds greatly to Its
value.
If you live too far away send for our
booklet on Alveolar Dentistry, which will
explain the method which we use.
There is no time like the present. Why
not attend to this matter today?

LOCAL SCRAP IN LANCASTER
Convention Framed Up with Purpose
of Giving Slap at Burkett.
SHELDON IS STILL FOR TAFT
Governor Has a Feeallar t aae from
Randolph of Man Who Reeks
Pardon on Forgery
Charce.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, Feb. IB. -The action of the
Ictncaster county republican convention
yesterday and the preferential vote taken
the day before for a presidential candi
date was the result of local scraps solely,
sa judged by an analysis of the vote In
certain precincts. The mention of a few
of the names of the delegates to the con
vention, with the votes In their several
precincts shows the utter falsity of the
charge that the Burlington machine was
fined up for Secretary Taft, 05, If such a
charge is true, that the machine certainly
doubled-crossed the war secretary In the
convention and at the polls. The same
crowd controlled the convention that has
always controlled.
An Insight Into what was done Is shown
In the vote at Ilavelock. Returns from
that shop town show that Roosevelt re
ceived 48 votes; Taft, 1; La Follette, 1;
Hughes, 1, and Fairbanks, 1. "The mind of
man does not run back far enough to re
member the time when the Burlington
crowd of Lancaster county did not control
the vote In this community, or when Qus
Hyers failed to bring In the delegation
according to orders. This delegation
plunked 20 votes against a Taft resolution
In the county convention and Burkett's
postmaster, Ous Hyers, cast them.
Normal precinct cast 7 votes for Roose
velt and 4 for Taft. C. Ager, a son of
Colonel J. H. Ager of Burlington fame,
was on the delegation to the county con
vention. Waverly precinct cast S2 votes
for Roosevelt and 14 for Taft and sent In
Chauncey Warner at the head of Its dele
gation. Warner Is another Burlington man
who has delivered the goods In the past.
Precinct B of the First ward cast 6 votes
for Roosevelt and 7 for Taft and such good
faithful workers as Harry Abbott and
Thomas Carr were sent to the convention.
Precinct B of the Second ward cast 16
voles for Roosevelt and 8 votes for Taft.
George Dayton and J. L. Caldwell, two
well known and highly respected members
of the bunch helped to do It.
Precinct B of the Fifth ward, though
selecting as delegates such men as H. H.
Wilson. J. C. F. McKesson, Paul Clark,
O. M. Stonebraker of the State Journal,
and C. C. Marley, was able to muster only
34 votes for Tsft. while Roosevelt got 24
and La Follette 17.
O. M. Routiahn and Jesse Chappell were
strong enough to get on the delegation
from Precinct B of the Fifth ward, though
the "machine" only gave Taft thirteen
votes, while Roosevelt got nine.
In Precinct A of the First ward, where
the Burlington crowd runs everything. Tuft
could only muster nine votes and Roosevelt
five, though L. L. Ltndsey, C. D. Mullen
and M. Adler, old timers, were on the
delegation and controlled It.
From Precinct A of the Second ward
L. W. Billlngsley, attorney for the Rock
Island, and Robert Flnley, an old warhorse,
brought In the delegation, and yet they
only gave Taft nine votes. Roosevelt got
four. '
ftoarco of Inspiration,
These are Just samples of the primary
votes to show that the presidential candi
dates had nothing to do with the result.
Judge Field and Judge Strode were boih
on record for 8ecrotary Taft, Judge Strode
Just recently having given an Interview
to The Bee In which he said he favored
the nomination of Secretary Taft, be
lieving as he did that President Roosevelt
would not accept another nomination. The
program by which he Issued Sample ballots
announcing himself as a Roosevelt delegate
and Roosevelt as a candidate was an In
spiration of the La Follette managers, who
knowing the weakness of the candidacy of
the Wisconsin man In this county worked
to secure votes for President Roosevelt. In

' Cor. Ith and Uarae t
fact the La Follette boosters openly boasted
that Roosevelt would get the preferential
vote of this county and being solely to
pull down the Taft vote. Roosevelt ballots
were sent to the country and the country
districts largely voted for the president
under the Impression he was a candidate.
The fight In Lancaster county was really
to humiliate Senator Burkett by endorsing
Judge Field for delegate-at-large and by
securing a convention endorsement of W.
B. Rose for Internal revenue collector.
Friends of Judge Field and friends of
Judge Strode were united against Burkett,
and the pins had been set to cause the de
feat of Senator Burkett long before he
announced that he would not be a candi
date for delegate-at-large. In this com
bination were all the old Burlington war
horses, as well as the leaders of the so
called progressive element In this county.
Whn tha convention selected its condldatee
all hands practically Joined In a harmony
session by endorsing Field for delegate-at-large
and Strode for district delegate.
The endorsement of W. B. Rose was a
part of the program to humiliate Senator
Burkett. Gua Hyers, who had no desire
either to offend Senator Burkett or Con
gressman Pallard, suggested the endorse
ment of Dr. Ballard of Ilavelock. but the
opponents of Burkett were too strong and
Rose igot -the endorsement, though State
Committeeman Cheney, appointed by Rose
out' or courtesy to Burkett, cast seven votes
for Ross Hammond.
Sheldon Still for Taft.
Governor Sheldon, who announced that
ha favored tha nomination of Secretary
Taft at tha banquet given by the Young
Men's Republican club Tuesday night, re
peated that statement this morning. When
Interviewed, he said: "I don't think Roose
velt will accept another nomination, there
fore., conscientiously 'believing that Taft,
If elected, will take up and complete the
work began by Roosevelt, I am for Taft."
Peenllar Case for Governor.
Goemor Sheldon heard an application for
a pardon this morning where a man deliber
ately broke Into the penitentiary by himself
furnishing the evidence which convicted
him. The man Is H. J. Smith, sentenced for
one year for forgery. " Senator Wlltse of
Randolph, representing a number of cltlxens
of that town. Is trying to get him pardoned.
Smith told the story to the governor that
he was an Insurance agent in Randolph and
was extremely hard up financially. In
order to boost his business he forged a
note, signing the name B. D. Maden to It,
Maden having promised to take out an in
surance policy. This note he Intended to
use to show people In order to get business.
Inasmuch as Maden was considered a hard
man to get to buy anything. He had two
men, he said, In mind to show the note to
Influence them. It happened, however, that
it was rot necessary for him to use the
note. Somehow the matter of the note
reached Maden and he promptly demanded
It ok, Smith and the latter Just as promptly
mailed It to him, with a plea that nothing
would be done with It. Maden had Smith
arrested and Smith's lawyer did not allow
him to testify, holding that the evidence
of tho state was not sufficient to convict.
It turned out, however, that the evidence
was sufficient to convict and Smith was
sentenced for one year, of which he has
served three months. Previous to the note
trouble Smith attempted to commit suicide
by shooting himself and succeeded in put
ting out his right eye. Judge Bryant and
two other citizens of Randolph corroborated
Smith's story.
Kansas Oil Rejected.
Deputy Oil Inspector Chamberlain this
morning rejected ten barrels of oil at Weep
ing Water that had been sent in from Kan
sas.
Rose Has Nothing- to Say.
'I Just want to be let alone and treated
as a defeated candidate." said W. B. Rose
when he was Informed that Ross Ham
mond had been agreed u,pon as Internal 1
revenue collector. "I don't care to make
any statement. I did all I could to land
tho fclace." Mr. Rose has felt for some
time that he would not be appointed and It
Is understood he Is going to make some
congressman sit up and take notice before
tho neat election. 'At least that's What his
friends say he Is going to do.

J. N. Johnson of Omaha argued before
the State Board of Public Lands and Build
ings today against paying oCntractor Bal

out that the board had deducted some
money for Ballards contract and then was
paying It to him for extras. He also told
the board It was liable to feet Into trouble

Midwinter commencement exercises of
the State university were held In the Tem
ple building last night. Chancellor E. Ben
jamin Andrews conferred the degrees and
the speaker of the evening was Dr. L. A.
Sherman, dean of the graduate school.
Dr. Sherman's subject was "Commeri
clullsm and a Higher Education." In it
the temptations arising before htm who
starts Into a business career were graph
ically and trenchantly detailed. The acad
emic ideas surrounding the recent college
graduate, said the speaker, are apt to
make him pecularly susceptible to baneful
Influence of the traducers. Dr. Sherman
bewailed the present ethics and stated
that manhood, strict, high manhood, was
the only specific for the present diseased
condition.

the coming season. Resides the new school
building which Is to he erected, contractors
are at this time figuring on the erection

while frame residences and business build
ings will be numerous. Callaway made a
big step forward during 19"7, but from
present appearances this year will eclipse
the work of last year.
CALLAWAY The mild winter months
have been duly appreciated bv th" stock
men of this locality. As yet there has been
but little snow, and comparatively no ra'n,
and there has not been a time during the
entire winter when stock could not rang".
As a consequence all stock Is looking 50
per cent better than It generally does at
this season of the year, and the farmers
and stockmen have more feed on hand than
they know what to do with.

The cure for the blues Cascarets.
A million boxes go out every month
to carry a world of sunshine.
Are you getting your share
Cascarets act as a bowel tonic, not as an irritant.
They are vegetable. Their action is natural. . Their'
effect is the same as the effect of some foods.
They are gentle; no griping.
They are pleasant; no dreading:.
They are convenient; no waiting:. - i
One old way was castor oil.
The effect was to grease the bowels, and for a single
day. Oil never causes the bowel muscles to act.
Other ways were pills, salts and cathartics. The effect
was the same as pepper has in the nostrils. They
flooded the bowels with fluid.
Those fluids were digestive juices. And the waste
today means a lack tomorrow.
We knew that ths method was wtoiij. That the after-effects only
weakened the bowels.
But ws had no gentle laxatives In ths old days. So we waited as
long as we could, then took a big dost of physic.
The method today is to take one Cascaret at a time just as soon
as you need it. Then the bowels are always clean.
Cascarets are candy tablets. They are sold by all drugpist.

on every tablet. The price is 50c, 25c and

paid Into the county treasury yesterday
as the forfeited bonds of three men ar
rested on the night of Barnum & Bailey's
visit to the city, for nttemptlng to pick the
Dockets of George Flebbe of St. Michael.
Flehbe himself caught ono of the men and
held him until an officer arrived. Iater
two others were caught after attempting
to make negotiations through James Foley
of this city for a return of the money
taken from Flehbe and the release of tho
prisoner. Flebbe secured his money and
waa willing to stand by the officers In thn
prosecution. When the cash bond of 40i)
was accepted, the officers madn the pre
diction that it would be forfeited. Wliiln
this does not dismiss thn charge aralnit
them here. It Is not regarded as a difficult
matter for the three men to stay away
from Hall county.
