A VICIOUS FAKE.
Journals Attempt to Gre
ate a Panic in No.
8 School.

Another of the fakes which the Even
ing Journal Of this city imposes on its
readers as news, appeared in last nights
edition of that paper. One could laugh at
the stupid stories it prints; were it not
that they are calculated to do a vast
amount Of harm.
Last nights story Is simply infamous
II grayely tells the people that Public
School No. 8 is in danger of being blown
up because of the defective state of lis
boilers. and the result is that many peo-
pie will not SEND their children to school,
when school opens. because of the scare
which the Journal has started.
@The Journal article last night used
these words, putting them into the mouth
Of Director j.. g.. Mulvaney:-
ii win be impossible to use the boilers
to heat the building. The boilers have
been condemned by the insurance COM
pany."
There is not one word Of truth in thai
statement about the boilers, and the proof
is the following report from the inspector

examination as late as July % LAST

purpose of getting what that paper calls
exclusive news Of Jersey CITY,.
Director Mulvaney's story to a News
representative puts an entirely different
version on the matter. Before vacation,
near the end of June, he said. he was in
formed by the janitor of the school that
the inspector had told that the brick
work surrounding the boiler was not in a
good condition and it would not be safe
to start the fires under the boiler until
that brick work was put into proper con-
dition. There was no fault found with
the boiler. not the slightest. It was the
brick work. This, it will be observed. was
in June. and the inspectors report, pub
lished above. shows that as late as July
% the boilers were in good order.
No mention in the Journal" was made
of this. but the statement of the Director
purposaly made to nislead the public,

the public that the Board of Education

CHIEF DENMEAD's CONDITION.

Engineer John T. Denmead, of the Fire
of this city, who has been on
a vacation for the past week, took a trip
to Brooklyn a few days ago to visit DR..
Carpenter, a specialist, whom he has been
visiting for a long time for his throat dis
ease. He was accompanied by Mrs. Dem
mead. Upon their return home the friends
of the Engineer were very much grieved
to hear that he was no better and it is
very doubtful If he will ever return to
duty again, as he is a very weak man.

What a pity this nice little yarn is not
true. Unfortunately, the journal, is
just a month wrong. The Davis outing is
N September 1s. But what does a Re-
publican organ care for a lie, when it can
score a point by telling one?

HOW TO FIND OUT.

Fill a bottle or common glass
with urine and let it stand twenty
four hours; sediment or settling
Indicates an unhealthy condition OF
the kidneys. When urine stains
linen it is positive evidence of kid
ney trouble. Too frequent desire to
urinate or pain in the back, is also
convincing proof that the kidneys
and bladder are out of order.
WHAT To DO.
There is comfort in the knowledge
so often expressed, that DR.. Killner's
Swamp Root, the great kidney REM
edy, fulfills every wish in relieving
pain in the back, kidneys, liver,
bladder and every part of the urin-
airy passages. 1t corrects inability
to hold urine and scalding pain in
passing it, or bad effects following
use of liquor, wine or beer,and over
comes that unpleasant necessity Of
being compelled to get UP many
times during the night to urinate.
The mild and the extraordinary
effect of Swamp Root is soon real
lied. 1t stands the higher for its
wonderful cures of the most dis
tressing cases. If you need medi-
cine you should have the best. Sold

the company can pay its fixed ex
