Denman to the office made vacant by the death of Federal Judge Taylor, i The position is a better one in every way than that of attorney general for which Mr, Denman was defeated at the November election. The federal judge’s salary is |6,5t)0 a year, | and his term of office is for life. President Taft is so well pleased with Mr. Denman’s record, and the votes recstred by him at the last election, that be has decided to appoint him, qotwithstanding the fact that Judge Kilßts, who was his last appointment, was also from the northwestern part of the state. —Willshire Herald. Mr. Denman is a brother-in-law of Dr. J. Q. Neptune. Mrs. Charles Hower is suffering very much from an ulcerated tooth, and both a dentist and a regular physician were required to attend her. The tooth had a gold cap and it was necessary to remove this, crush the tooth with forceps, then remove the roots one at a time. Frank Martz and wife, while returning recently from Pleasant Mills, figured in an accident that might have resulted very seriously. Their horse frightened at an automobile and in. its rearing turned their rig entirely around, in such away that the occupants were in great danger of being 1 kilted. Fortunately no one was hurt.
