BITTEN BY DOGS.
The Mayors Neglect to Issue HIS
Proclamation TO Muzzle Dogs,
is Reminded of it FOrciby
by the Dogs Themselves


The dogs are laughing at Mayor Du
Bois and dog catcher Wells.
While these two city officials are
making ey es and glaring at each other
the dogs are improving the time by
biting unoffending citizens. It may
be that the dogs take this course iu
order to remind the Mayor that it Il
time for him to issue bis annual mani
tests against their personal liberty ol
roaming the streets during the day
Notwithstanding dog catcher Wells
extreme anxiety to electrocute them
scientifically.
Be this as it may. the lives of one OF
two dogs are already doomed.
On Thursday afternoon Mr.. Chas.
Reeve was passing up North Laure
street, when small cur residing al
Mrs. Lore's, rushed upon him with un.
muzzled mouth and bit him in the call
of the leg.
Mr.. Reeves pantaloons we're badly
torn also his stocking and the brute's
teeth penetrated the flesh, making an
ugly and painful wound, which was
cauterizsd and dressed by a physician.
The dog of course, was not mad, but
seemed 10 be full of the Old Nick. Mr..
Reeve was mad ard promises to shoot
the dog on the first opportunity.
Thursday afternoon also John Good.
win, lad living on Hampton street
and employed at the tin and stove
store of E. E. johnson s. Son, was sent
to a house on Pine street on an en-
rand. A dog belonging to a man
named Middleton, and which was
known to be vicious, was upon
the sidewalk, and as the lad passed by
the brute attacked him, biting him on
the calf of the leg, tearing his trousers
and tearing the flesh with its teeth.
The blood ran down the boys leg
into his shoe and he was taken to DIR.
Davis who attended the wound. The
lad with his employer, went at once to
the Mayors office to enter complaint
but the Mayor being out no com.
plaint was lodged against the owner OF
the dog until this morning.
1t is hoped that these things will al
move the Mayor to issue his proclama
ton for the muzziing of dogs.

APOPLExY.
His Sndden Demise Saturday
Afternoon.

Afternoon.
Shocked beyond measure were the
readers of the PIONEER, on Saturday
to learn OF the death Of Ebert Eieu-
kirk, of this city.
Happening as 1t did, after the Pho
NEER went to press, 1t was impossible
to give the particulars.
At what moment the silent messen-
ger claime1 its victim, no one can tell
Alone, In his own room, sitting placid.
ly in his easy rocker. Mr.. Nieukirk
met death, and the spirit passed on in
the great beyond, of which no one
knows.
Mr.. Nieukirk has been In his usual
good health for some time. The re-
cent death of a loved daughter had
saddened and depressed him, but he
never yielded to melancholy, and was
always.cheerful and affable. Recently
he has been having some improve
ments made in front of his property
on Atlantic street, and several times
he has hurried the workmen, explain
ing that he desired the work finished
before he took a trip away, which he
had in contemplation. Saturday
morning the gentleman was busying
himself about the place, making some
little repairs here and there. Toward
noon he went out front, and was clean
ing up the newly laid pavement. Com
ing into the house he picked up a
clothes brush, and went up stairs,
evidently with the intention of dust
ing his clothing previous to dinner
time.
His granddaughter, Mrs. Hannah
Lore, was getting dinner, and when
the table was fully prepared she told
her sister, Miss Lizzie Nieukirk to call
her grandpa. Twice, three times did
the young lady call, and no response
was made. Mrs. Lore then went up
stairs to awaken him If he had fallen
asleep, bat when she entered his room
she perceived that he had fallen in a
sleep, from which there is no awaken
ing. Comfortably he was reclining, a
kindly smile was upon his face, but the
deathly pallor, the cold hand were the
mute evidences before her. Hurriedly
she notified the family. DR.. NJ K.
Elmer was sent for. He pronounced
death due from apoplexy, and said
that he had yielded up his life without
a struggle.
Mr.. Nieukirk was man we'll known
In this community He was born and
for some time lived in Salem county,
but for very many years he conducted
business in this city, owning a large
livery stable.
Recently he retired, and has since
not been actively engaged In any pur-
suit. His wife died some few years
since, and a daughter, Mrs. Jos. Mul-
ford was buried less than a month
ago. Four children survive the de-
ceased. The funeral arrangements
are announced else where.

INTEREsTING EXERCISES.
Many People at the Home for the
Feeble Minded.

Thursday was big day at the home
for Feeble Minded, in Vineland, the
occasion being the annual meeting.
As trains appeared in Vineland it
was found that there were hundreds
of people upon them, who had come
to the town for the express purposs of
visiting the institution. Many of
them were especially interested, and
the Home is largely kept up by their
liberal contributions. Hundreds are
members, who contribute s. while
others were life members, having paid
$500 in to the Home for that purpose.
Large coaches met all trains, and
the guests were quickly driven out
Lands avenue to the handsome
grounds which have before been very
elaborately described in these COL
umns.
The officers of the Institution and
Superintendent Garrison were on hand
to give everybody warm welcome,
and the people were permitted the
freedom of the entire domain.
Everything about the school took on
a gala air, and the weak minded chill
dren seemed to largely enjoy the oc-
casion. The dwellings and cottages
were visited and inspected, and much
time was spent out In the cool shady
groves. The school band discoursed
excellent music during the day.
The business meetings of the Asso-
citation began at half past ten, and
three Directors were elected. Super
intendent Garrison made a most ex-
cellent report of the progress of the
Institution for the past year. and DR..
Wiley, the chief physician, presented
an elaborate report of the condition
of the pupils, their habits, general
health, etc. The business session con-
tinued until nearly dinner time.
The great concourse OF people were
given most excellent dinner shortly
after one o'clock. The menu was elab-
crate and the viands were evidently
enjoyed.
In the afternoon there were very in
teresting exercises conducted by the
pupils of the school, and their perfor-
nance was simply marvellous. The
guests enjoyed greatly the exercises.

THE TRACTION COMPANY.
rhe work Progressing RapidIy

AO "OEA IOSEcSSAuS HNHp1ulys
Two barge loads of railroad ties ar.
rived here last week for the South Jer-
sey Traction Company. Garrison g.
Minch have the contract for hauling
ties and delivering them along the
tracks, and this morning teams were
put at work hauling them out.
A PIONEER reporter drove over the
turnpike Friday afternoon and in
spect the work in progress. Teams
were hauling ties and had got them
stretched along the grade as far as the
Scattergood Bethel tarm, and rails are
spread along nearly as far. A gang
of rs or 80 men were laying the rails
and spiking them fast; this work had
reached the clay pits. Behind these
came another gang of men who were
filling in between the ties and stamping
them in; still behind these were
another gang, who were leveling and
dressing up the roadway and putting
on the last fnishings of the track.
BY tonight 1t is quite probably that
the ties and rails will reach the Dick
farm.
As soon as the ties are stretched
along on this end, the rails will be laid
and both ends of the road joined. To
set the poles and stretch the trolly wire
will be but a small job and require but
short time, and then the road be-
tween the two cities will be In operat-
ion.

A Radical Cure for the Opium an,
the Alcohol Habit.

In every community there are worthy
men and women who. while seeking refuge
from bodily pain occasioned by disease,
have fastened upon themselves the NOR
phine or opium habit. Most of these
afflicted people are not aware of the recent
advancement in medical science and they
believe their cases are hopeless. While
they are, perhaps. ready enough to admit
that temporary cure may be effected,
they would be slow to believe that the
habit can be permanently eradicated.
Let such doubters take hope. The Ger
man Remedy Institute. whose branches
ramify not only every portion of the
United States but of Europe also. abso-
lutey removes the desire for the drug. and
that. too, by treatment which is painless
as well as harmless. and by medicines of
vegetable compound. 1t should be remem-
bered that no deleterious minerals are
used; not even under the fascinating title
OF gold"
A patient accustomed for months. per-
haps years. to taking thirty or forty or
fifty grains of the drug every twenty-four
hours, is Ioath to believe that the narcotic
can be taken away from him on the frs:
day Of his treatment; at the institute. but
than that, the patient, after the first days
treatment, has no desire TO use the drug.
The cure Is radical and complete.
Absolute and indisputabie proof OF this
claim is offered at all times in the patients
under treatment at the institute. which is
located in the Occidental block. Living
examples of the wonderful efficacy of the
treatment are proofs which no theories
trovert. Those who suffer from the NOR
phine or opium habit are invited to call at
the office of the institute and make per-
sonal investigation. Hours for visitors
are from a. N. to S .. m.
And yet the curing OF the opium habit
is only part of the mission Of the Ger
man Remedy Company. 1t eradicates
alcoholism with equal success, and in
every case guarantees q cure. The treat
ment seldom requires longer than three
weeks time and may be taken without
the least interruption to patients voca-
ton.

Frank G. Carpenter.
This city of Helena contains about Do
GOO people and il is founded on gold dust.
1t has as fine buildings as you will find in
any city of hundred thousand in the
East and they are built along the edge of
the mountains lining each side Of great
gullies The main street Of Helena runs
down a ravins known as the "Last Chance
Gulch," and from under its paved side
walk 100000 worth Of gold was taken.
The city is built on what was once the
most famous placer diggings of the United
States, and all about il you see the gravel
which had been thrown up and washed
