Board of Freeholders.

The regular meeting of the Board of
Freeholders was held on Wednesday.
The first business offered was an appli-
cation for stone road through Moores-
town from the Mount Laurel road to the
Haddonfield road. Samuel L. Allen and
William Matlack were present and said
that the piece of road proposed to be i'm
proved was part of the Moorestown and
Camden turnpike road, which portion
would be abandoned if the application
were granted. If the cost exceeded the
appropriation it would be made up by
private subscription. Mr.. Stewart did
not see the urgent necessity for this move
ment, but said he would not object if
the advocates of the road were willing to
await their turn. The present road is
tollable and 1t could better afford to wait
than some others could. He insisted that
nothing could be done until the road
had been abandoned.
In reply TO question by Mr.. Jones the
representatives of the road said that no
toll would be charged on the road when
improved.

the taxes of the county and has always
paid for its own roads.
should be considered only on the assur-
ance that the road was to be abandoned
as turnpike.
A resolution embodying this idea was
offered and adopted by vote of 20 to 6.
Solicitor Chambers called attention to
the fact that the contracts awarded to
]. NJ. & B. F. Shandley for two stone
roads had not yet been signed by the con-
tractors The Director said he would at
tend to it.
The officers of the Camden, Marlton and
Ellisburg Turnpike Company gave notice
that they felt their assessment was too
high, and that they intended to appeal to
the State Board of Taxation.
The coroners' bills provoked some dis
cussion. The first to which there was OBJ
lection was that of Coroner Fisher, for
holding an inquest over the remains of
Allen Hubbs. Mr.. Hubbs was struck by
a railroad train at Palmyra, but did not
die for two or three days later. There
was some doubt whether death ensued
from the railroad accident or from pneu-
monia, so the coroner held an inquest.
| Mr. Tallman, of the committee on cor
oners' bills, said the committee approved
the bill, but he doubted whether an in
quest should have been held.

cate for long time and the blow from
the railroad train probably fastened his
death.
Mr. Darnell criticised the amount OF
the bill. He did not think much had es-
capped.
The motion to pay the bill was lost by
vote of 10 to 5.

When a person is losing flesh ant

wasting away there is cause for alarm.
Nothing go worries a physician. Con-
sumptives would never die if they could
regain their usual weight. In fact there
would be no consumption if there was no
wasting of the system. The cause of
this loss of flesh is a failure to properly
digest the food eaten. Nine tenths of all
our diseases date back to some derange-
ment of the stomach.
The Shaker Digestive Cordial will stop
this wasting of the body. 1t acts by
causing the food we eat to he digested so
as to do good, for undigested food does
more harm than good. The Cordial con-
tains food already digested and is digest

The local lodge was
organized through the
efforts of J. Friend Lau-
master, who, after
much persuasion, in
duced Mr.. Read to be-
come a member. The
work was of such an
interesting character
that he became en-
thusiastic at once. He
started ont on a Pyth-
ian mission, and organ
lied lodges in thirteen
states. Mr.. Read was
then presented with a
handsome souvenir by
his admiring brothers
in San Francisco. 1t
is a gold badge, con-
tanning thirteen jewels,
seven diamonds, two
emeralds and one to-
paz. 1t is now owned
by Mr.. Laumaster. Mr..
Read was also the re-
cipient of an other pres

with solid silver ham
die, and containing all

An elderly gentleman of fine appear
ance arrived here on Sunday for the pur-
pose of visiting the late Rev. DIR. Miller.
After learning that he was dead, he made
his way to the cemetery to see the grave.
While there be was told DR.. Miller was
buried at Princeton, and that he had been
dead some fifteen years. He gave his
card, which bore the name of Duncan R.
Nervoll, Produce Exchange, New York
city He left word with Henry e. Risdon
to learn if the grave at Princeton was
marked with a stone, and if not that he
would erect monument to his memory.
II was learned that Mr.. Nervoll had at
tended DIR. Miller's school in 1916, and
that he has since followed the sea as a
captain.
The NJ. E. Conference will be asked to
return Rev. John H. Boswell to the church
he now has charge of in Trenton. Mr.
Boswell has been very successful in his
pastorate during the past two years. The
church was in debt, and the attendance
was small He at once instituted new
system of collections and the weekly re-
ceipts are now in excess of expenses.
People are turned away from the church
nightly because of lack of room, and the
membership of the Sunday school was in
creased 1872 last year. While Mr.. Boswell
is entitled to great credit for this prosper
GUS condition of affairs it must also be re-
membered that he has board of trustees
which is in unanimous accord with him,
and that is quite help in church matters.
During the past week there were five
very pleasant days of sunshine. Robins
and blue birds have been reported in the
country districts, and this seems to verify
the ground hog theory of an early spring.
Then, too, we have experienced the an
nual fruit storm, which is an indication OF
large crop of fruit. The thermometer has
been remarkably high, registering A de-
grees on Tuesday. Snow has fallen only
once. but the melting slush made it dis
agreeable most of the time under foot.
Friday furnished the exceptional wealth
er. On that day hail storm came from
the east, which lasted all the morning,
and in the afternoon liberal fall of snow
made fairly good sleighing.

The portion of the American press

and capital labor is necessarily wrong.

of the Lattimer coal miners. Whose

the taking of human life is a tragical
business. and that those who assumed
the awful responsibility at Lattimer OF
sacrificing it wholesale should be held
to strict account. were at once de-
nouuced as Anarchists, fomenters OF
class prejudice and enemies of law and
order. Recent news from Pennsyl-
vania cannot but be embarrassing to
these superserviceable and cold-blood-
ed journalistic lackeys. Sheriff Mar
tin, who gave the order to fire. and
his deputies who obeyed the order with
alacrity, shooting the miners as they
ran. have been held to answer Oh the

Prosperity and McKlnley1sm.

A Republican contemporary asks:
lis the Times constitutionally opposed
to prosperity under Republican ad-
ministratiOn?"
1t is not. The Times is willing to
give welcome and hail with acclaim
prosperity under the auspices of any
party. But not having cultivated the
habit of looking at one side of the
shield and not being under the necessi'
ty of lying studiously and daily in or
der to retain political patronage or to
secure the advancement of its running
expenses from some money lending
corporation, it feels free enough and
honest enough TO declare that prosper
itv, equal, universal and proportionate
in it's benefits to all the people ol
every class, degree and mode of en-
plovment is utterly impossible under
Republican administration. WI n
share soever of prosperity has come to
a portion of the people is not the re-
suit of anything that Republican ad-
ministration has done, but in despite
and defiance of it.
Crops failed abroad and hungry mil
lions wanted bread. The wheat of the
farmer rose in price, and with it his
live stock. The transportation of these
gave renewed activity to the railroads
employed in hauling these food stuffs'
and transferred money from the banks
to the pockets of the fortunate agri-
culturists to be turned by them into
the channels of trade and investment.
But this movement has been limited to
a portion only of our area. Cotton has
gone down aud the other cereals have
not kept pace with wheat in mounting
the ladder of advancing prices. While
Iron County register., 1897-10-07

the farmers of the West have been in
luck, their brothers of the South are
harvesting their crops with receding
prices staring them iE the faces.
Hundreds of thousands of idle men
and women still throng the big cities
waiting vainly for work. Many man
ufacturing plants are idle. The num-
ber of corporations that have volun-
tarily made any advance 10 the wages
of employees can be counted on the fin
gers of one hand. On the contrary,
as rule, wages have not been raised
anywhere in the country except where
they were forced up by strike or by
the demands of organized labor, and
nearly a hundred toilers have been
killed and wounded in struggle to
resist the carrying out of the maxim
1.-THE laborer is worthy of his hire. !"
These are but handful of the facts
which can be adduced to show that a
Republican administration is not pro-
ducing anything like a thorough going
article of prosperity.
But it is hreading a gigantic deficit
in the public revenues. 1t is piling
up the public debt at a rate unprece-
dented even in the past history of its
party's mlsrule. rapine, and reckless
ness. 1t is taxing millions out of the
pockets of the producers and into the
pockets of the Sugar Trust, and of all
the other members. big and little, of
the vast brood of trusts which its poll
cy of tariff robbery and class legisla-
ton have unlashed against the people.
II has placed the control of the cur
rency of the country in the hands of
the Gold Trust and is preparing to
delegate to the National banks the
regulation of the money supply.
1t has not and can not produce pros
perity for all the people by pursuing
this line of action. 1t is doubtful If it
can produce it by such methods for
more than the 100000 persons who
own more than one half of the entire
property in the United States.
AS well look for oranges to grow in
Siberia or snowstorms to prevail at
the equator as to expect the Republi-
can administration TO bring about gem
eral prosperity. It's daily business Is
the sympathetic and legalized pillage
OF the people. Its regular occupation
is robbing Peter. the producer, TO pay
Paul, the plutocrat. The Times is not
willing to subscribe to prosperity
