} i ] 4 ORACLES OF ORAL SCIENCE Dentists of Two States Disonssing Profes- sional Topics in Omaba. EXPECT TO BE IN SESSION FOUR DAYS Welcomed to the City by Renponse by Dr. Abbott ot Those Present — P Be Read. The foint annual meeting of Towa and socleties began in Nebraska state dental the city yesterday afternoon and will ¢ tinue in session for four days The Towa assoclation held a short busi ness meeting in Counédl Bluffs in the fore- noon, but the Nebraska members did not get together. The meeting was called to order in the lodge room in the Barker block at 2 o'clock by President T. F. Skeede of eward, who introduced President T. L. James of Fairfield, Ta,, and he took charge of the arranged program. Mayor Bemis was Introduced and wel- comed the visitors. He sald that he con- gidered it an honor to welcome so distinguished looking people, but always felt timid about going befor dentist he felt some hesitancy about facing a couple of hundred of them He hoped that all would make themselves perfedly at home, and if they did not see what the wanted they should ask for it He thought that the advancement made in dentistr had been marvelous, and was pleased to note that this country was far ahead of the other nations in thi clence. He briefly reviewed the history of dentistry and the manufa ture of faise teeth, instruments, chairs, and other appliances used in this profession, He had met with some of the most n ed den- tists in the country, and was greatly in- terested fn the advancement of their work. He would like to be able to predict the strides they would make in the next fifty years, and felt a desire to explore Saturn, Rars, Jupiter and other celestial plancts and learn how they managed to pull the aching molars. He ~was somewhat undecided whether to class the dentists as gold bugs or Commonwealers. He reviewed the growth of the city and told the visitors all about the vast commercial, financial, manufactur- ing and soclal resources at the command of Omaha residents. “We have no Hubbards and Jacksons In this state,” sald Mayor Bemis, “but we do have our Judge Scott and Frank Crane.”” This called forth a vigorous round of applause. The mayor spoke of Kelly late “unpleasantness” in western Towa and sald that it was the railway officials who would not let the Commonweal army stop in Omaha and the only thing that could be done was to feed the men and let them go on their way rejoicing. The people of Coun- cil Bluffs and Towa were all right, but they had been made victims of by the railway attorneys and the governor and would have a large sum taxed up against them for the acts of these parties, who appeared to have acted from wholly selfish principles. cordial weleome greatly pleased the denti His remarks were responded to by Dr. T. Abbott of Manchester, In DR. ABBOTT'S RESPONSE. The doctor had been here before and had enjoyed Omaha's hospitality. He hoped that Omaha would treat the dentists as well as it did the Commonwealers, feed them and pass them on their way rejoicing after they were through with their business in this clty. He complimented the city and its mayor and expressed the kindliest feeling for the people of the enterprising western metrop- olis. Dr. Abbott said that he would relate a bit of unprinted” history as to the way in which this city was named. He said: “A good many years ago a man and his family landed on the eastern banks of the Missour river. The man came across in a boat and began to blaze away out iuto the prairie country. His wife and son were lator ferried over and with the woman driving an ox team they took up their western journey. The boy was walking behind. They had reached about the spot where the corner of Ninth and Farnam streets now is when tho boy noticed that his mother was getting out of the trail. He shouted: ‘Oh, ma, haw.’ " He said that when anything was to be used as a_comparison Omaha must always be favorably excepted, and that they wmust avold making the mistake which a servant aid who had been instructed by his master to always except him in everything. .The servant had an experience with a skunk, and in relating it to his master the man sald: “Massa, I'se dun met de stinkepest ting in de world except yu'selt.” He sald that Omaha would grow to be a greater city than it is because it had the right kind of men for citizens. They were full of push and energy. He thought that the streets of this city were better paved than those of any other western city, and the clty had the handsomest men, prettiest women and girls, and the fattest' and best natured babies in the world, except those of Jowa. Dr. Abbott then detailed the work of dental colleges and the advancement and use of scientific principles in his profession. On motion of Dr. Kulp, visiting dentists, physiclans, scientists and others Interested in dentistry were invited to a‘tend the meet- ings of the association and take part in the discussions. army and the PRESIDENT JAMES' ADDRESS. Dr. T. L. James, president of the Towa assoclation, then delivered his annual ad- dress. After the opening remarks the president referred to the painful method of jerking out a tooth In the olden times. He had a ma- chine which looked like a cross betwen a Jack screw and a hand vice, and sald: *I had my first experience in tooth pulling with this. It may not look well, but it s dead sure in its work. Just a twist of the wrist a yank on the crank and the jerker got 23 cents from the jerkee, while u jagged hole in the jaw was left to heal up as it would. He spoke of the improvement in tools and appliances, furniture, etc., and a great re duction of pain, which usually attends such operations. He advised that the dentists make a thor- ough study of their profession and not to hoard their knowledge, but to let otliers know about thefr discoverics for the benefit of suffering humanity. He advocated bettcr colleges for dentistry and less criticism in the profession as to methods of practice. He was pleased with the interest and attendance and hoped to soon see every reputable dent- tist in both stutes join their association. Dr. H. J. Cole of Norfolk, Neb., delivered an essay on Schier's remedy for treating the pulp canals with sodium’ potassium, as laid before the Columbian dental congress held in Chicago last year. The paper and views of the author brought out a great deal of dlscussion as to the best methods for preventing inflammation in the pulp canal and the new theory found favor with a groat many of the members. The ¢ nvent'on was not calad to order for the ovening session until after § o'clock. “The History and Progress of Dentistry in Nebraska were described in a paper pre- pared by W. F. Roseman of Fremont. The first effort at organization by the dentists was {n 1874, when the Missouri Dental so. clety was formed. But there were no regu lar dentists in the ini r of Nebraska be- fore the year 18 ebraska soclety was organized at 1877 with six members. The Lincoln in The assoclation increased to se enteen members Inside of two years, but in 1886 the Interest became greater and the membership began to grow, until in 1893 ft_had become a flourishing body of men, who sought to advance thelr interests on sclentific prineiples. The author of the per made the prediction that the ska soclety would be the strongest in the country In a few years, 18 AGAINST ANAESTHETICS. J. A. Dieffenbacher of York, Neb., read a aper on anaesthetics—local and general. o expressed his opposition to the administra- tion of anaesthetics not combined with oxy- n, in the belief that they were dangerous and lkely to result in death. He had tried ud stood ready to recommend Dr. Hayes' ted hypnotic process for using anaes- |h0 s as belng a safe manner in which to administer gas to deaden the pain following Qiseased teeth. This paper caused quite a spirited discussion, and the majority of those who spoke on the subject expressed their opposition to the use of gas or anything else in dental work. Dr. Hunt of lowa City apoke in forcible opposition to the use of gas in any shape, and sald that the missicn #f dentiats should be to educate the people how to save and protect their teeth, and not to pull them ont on the slightest provocation. Pulling teeth should be the last resort, Mr. Hunt thought. Dr. Funck of B rice agreed with the speaker, and wished there was no such thing as gas used in dentists’ offices. Dr. Gillette of Norfolk thought that the us of anaestheties approached too close to pra ducing death, and that dentists who used them with fatal results should be held liab by the law. The general opinion seemod to be that It one dentist or all the other dentists in a town would quit using gas, the remaining one would. None of them thought It a safe proceeding, but the people had been humbugged up to a certain standard and it was hard to educate them differently. It was thought that dentistry had been advanced through the ald of sclentific appliances that thinking people would soon ¢ to ask for gas to alleviate their pains. Another point made against the use of gas was the evils of after effects upon the persons who uged it. These results were often surprising and even alarming in their extent and many people seemed to suffer a permanent change in their modes and habits after having been completely under the influence of an anaesthetic, Then again, 99 per cent of the deaths while under the influence of powerful narcotics oceurred in persons who had safely used them pre viously and were in apparently a healthy condition.

But the minstrels of the past were not the only mummers who would have been surprised could they have watched the birth of genjus last night.

Edgar Owens, appearing as the middie man of a black face show, and he Qidn’t do anything but give cards and spades to the best interlocutor in the business, And to his large stage expericnce is due much of the success of the entertainment, which had the rare merit of being largely orlginal and the additional delight of lots of snap and vigor. The first part, which w of local hits, also contained a number of right clever parodics on popular songs, sung by well known local artists, the hit of the evening being “He Stole Doc Haynes' Dog, a tearful ballad after the style of “Johnny Dugan,” sung with delicious humor by Judge Shields, Ed Mullen and Frank Flannegan. The men on the ends of the line are well Kknown in business and professional circles, but from last night a larger clientele will tell in enthusiastic manner of the debut made by H. R. Vandecar, d Mullen, M. J. Dowling, George Cronk, Frank Flannegan and Judge Shields as funny men of the Bk minstrels, Vandecar showing undispute talent as a comedian, his singing and dancing being a feature of the seance. he music was highly Bedouin and Elk quartets to respond to encores. In point of fact, it was a thoroughly good humored audience, and encores were 5o nu- merous that a stop had to be made to their acknowledgement when it was ascertained that the biggest local success ever achieved was in progress. Part two was a potpourri of professional and amateur numbers, the LaRose brothers largely made up atisfactory, the being compelled appearing in an acrobatic act which met with instant favor, the tumblers having to respond to a double recall. John Green and Ache Smith, assisted by the Silver Tone quartet, gave a genuine southern flavor of the program, their work being spirited to a degree. “The plantation holiday,”” without which no negro minstrel performance would be successful, called forth several of the brethren In vari-colored cos- tumes, “Mamie, Come Kiss Your Honey Boy" being sufficiently snappy to bring out all the talent of the participants, Patsy McGrath of South Omaha giving an example of artis- tic wing dancing that would have done credit to a professional.

Mercer telegraphed from Washington to Exhalted Ruler Flan-’ negan as follows: ‘“‘Accept congratulations en successful benefit. Jokes can hear them here.” There were flowers in profusion and any amount of perspiration, to say nothing of “buck fever” experienced by the audience, but the performance ended without any tragedics, except that Doc Haynes came near losing his dog in the crush, which would have been a_paradox truly.

Damage incalculable has been done to crops. Traffic over the Texas Midland has been stopped by high water. Nearly every bridge on the line was washed away and several miles of track sub- merged. It will be several days before the Midland will be in readiness to resume oper- atlons. TEXARKANA, Ark, May 1.—One of the heaviest hail and rain storms that has vis- ited this section in years struck here this afternoon. At Parks, a small station on the Texas & Pacific rallroad, the storm demol tshed a number of residences, killing Thad- deus McDougall and fatally 'wounding W. C. Blocker.

New Cruiser My Eight head Starts on a Forty- our Run. NEW YORK, May 1.—The newly built crulser Marblehead, Commander Charles O'Neill, left her anchorage in the Hudson river today for sea on her final trial trip ight hours. She has already been tested for speed and provisionally accepted by the government, and the greater part of her contract price paid over. This trip is not expected to develop any defects and is pretty much a matter of form. The trial board, which accompanies her, conslsts of Commodore T. 0. Selfridge, Cap- tain P. H. Cooper, Commander R. B. Brad- ford, Chief Engineer R. W. Milligan, Naval Constructor Baxter and Licufenant Com- mander Seaton Schroeder, Under their supervision her engines will be run at full speed with natural draft for four hours and at a lesser speed for the rest of the trip. Each gun on board will be fired once. She will return Thursday afternoon. The Marbleliead was built at Boston and had her speed trial on Long Ieland sound this spring, developing an ap- parent speed of 18.94 knots. The govern- ment trial board, after figuring out (h tidal allowances, and making all the nece sary additions and deductions, decided that her true average speed was 15.44 knots, As her contract specd was 17 knots, §he earned for her bullders a bonus of $125,000,. being 25,000 for eael quarter knot above 17. The average revolutions on this trip were 176 on the port and from 178 to 180 on the star- board engine. The temperature in the fire room was between 145 and 155 and the air pressure from cight-tenths to one and one- half inches during the greater part of the trial, reaching two inches during the last part. She proved steady with little vibration and compared favorably with other vessels of her clas Her vertical, type. engines are of inverted There the the triple-expansion cylinder, direct-acting are two of them, each driving one of four-bladed Manganese-bronze propeller. Her indicated horse-power is 5,400. The Marblehead is a sister ship to the Detroit and the Montgomery, but has her weights trimmed so as to give her greater stability. i DeWitt's Witch Hazel Salve cures piles. P CITY COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS. Stephenson Wants Certain Streets Cleaned Before Putting Iis Sweepers On. The regular meeting of the city council was cut short last evening, as most of the members wished to attend the Elks' enter- tainment. The only business transacted was the passage of the regular appropriation ordi- nance and consideration of a communication from James Stephenson relative to street sweeping. Mr. Stephenson presented a list of streets which were cither newly paved or had not heen cleaned for one year. They were in ach condition that it was impossible to 2ep them until they were cleaned. The Latter referred to a committee and on its reecommendation was turned over to the Board of Public Works for consideration. The council adjourned until Thursday evening. Another Case of Smallpox. Health Commissioner Saville made a per- sonal cxamination of the case of Christine Chladek, the latest addition to the number of smallpox patients yesterday. He found that the disease was unquestionably small- pox, but the symptoms indicate the less serious form of the disease. The woman was at once transferred to a tent on the poor farm and a female friend of the paticnt who has had the disease was taken along as nurse. The report of an additional case had the effect of causing several persons to visit the health department yesterday to be vaceinated. The Chladek woman has no relatives in this country.

Taken from the United States Ixpress Come= Tn. Huntoon, P Yesterday Mr. 8. A, agent of the United States Express company, called at detective headquarters and reported local the loss of cighteen express company money orders, These the agent says were stolen from the Weston, Ta., express office a few nights ago. The numbers of some of the stolen orders_follow 717,468, 717,469, 794,~ 470, TIT471, 717,472, 71747 474, 717,475, 717,476, 716,477, 717,478, 71740 Already some of these orders have been cashed in Omaha and this led to the supposition that the thief was in the city. The maximum value of cach order is $50, but most of those cashed in this city were for less amounts. Agent Huntoon suspected a certain person in the city of being the thief, and of having some of the stolen orders in his possession A search warrant was issued by the police judge and was given to Chief Detective Haze to serve. This officer was accom- panied by Detectives Savage and Dempsey and Mr. Huntoon. They kept the locality of thelr search a profound secret. In the course of an hour or two they returned and reported having found nothing, o it is sup- posed that they are on the wrong trail. The numbers of the orders still missing have been bulletined at all of the express offices in this section of the country and should they be presented for payment the holder will promptly be arrested. If each order had been made out and passed for the full amount the express company would lose about §1,000, but fortunately the officials caught on to the little game before it had gone very far and will loso very little cash Local detectives and officers of the exp company have an idea that the thief Is stop ping I the city at the pr eral parties are under surveillance with good chances of running the right man to cover.
