About a year and a half ago I
stopped drinking coffee and took Pos
tum Food Coffee, and after few fail
ures because of improper cooking,
finally had it made strictly according
to directions (Which is easy) and
found it of such charming flavor that
I have kept up its use ever since
Strange as it may appear, the rheu-
matism disappeared entirely, and I
have not had a single attack since
Moreover my family have all taken on
some good substantial flesh, so that
we feel Postum is not only a delicious
drink in the taste, but that we are liv-
ing evidences of it's healthful proper
ties.
THE preparation of any sort Of food
or drink is an important, essential
part. I find that many people who
have tried Postum go at the prepare
ton in a careless way, that is to say
they put it on the stove and let it
stand few minutes, and think it
should be done. We put Postum on
in cold water. 1t takes about fifteen
minutes before 1t begins to boil, then
we allow it to actually boil fifteen
minutes, which, as you say, brings out
the delicious flavor and good food
value
Mr. and Mrs. Miller of this city are
using Postum right along. Mrs. Miller
has been a great sufferer from dyspep-
sia; had to give up coffee entirely on
that account. She enjoys good health
now, since using Postum Food Coffee.
"Mr. and Mrs. Hervey Of Auburn
We're troubled in the same way, AMI
have been cured by Postum. Say they
never were SO we'll"

death. He quoted from Maguire's sin
gle tax speech in Congress to verify his
statement.
The confusion party, the speaker said,
contended that the single tax was not
an issue in the campaign. He contended
that everything must be an issue which
is characteristic with the leader. If
Ingersoll, the great infidel, were TO go
before the people as party candidate
for office, the cry would go out that
the question of infidelity or of Chris
tianity was to be determined at the polls
and it would be so determined. He
called upon every man who went to
vote, to do as did Horatio at the bridge,
look toward his own house roof and
then plunge into and battle with the
single tax Tiber. He asserted that a.
vote for Mcguire meant a vote to oon-
fiscate the homes raised by the labors
of their hands.
w. D. Knights, candidate for the AS
sembly for the Twenty first District,
spoke next. He spoke briefly and
urged the people to vote for Gage for
Governor. He advocated holding the
Philippines, and said that to that end
the Administration of President Nc
Kinley ought to be maintained at the
ballot box.
The war, he said, was over, and now
that the soldiers and sailors had done
their part, statesmen were in demand
He maintained that the people Of the
Second Congressional District could not
afford to elect a man who would be at
variance with the Chief Executive,
and he called upon the voters to cast
their ballots for Frank D. Ryan. He
also urged legislative candidates be
elected who could be relied on to vote
against returning Stephen NJ. White to
the United States Senate. He asked
the votes of his auditors for A. j.
Johnston for State Printer, and thus
show that they did not indorse the
policy Of Governor Budd in closing the
State Printing Office. He also spoke
kind words for the county candidates.
S. B. Smith, candidate for Public Ad-
ministrator, next spoke. He said the
candidates for county offices worked
hand in hand for themselves and for the
whole ticket He said if line were
to be drawn through his name, he
would say the ticket was a good one
Most Of the men had been tried and
found not wanting.
Mr.. Smith said the office to which he
aspired was a very important one. He
said it was necessary to' have an honest
and a capable man for the place. He
would say nothing regarding his hon
esty but pointed to his business record.
Three cheers were given for the tick
ct and the meeting adjourned.

TIE EXCELLENCE OF SYRUP OF FIGS

lhE EXCELLENCE OF SYRUP OF FIGS
is due not only to the originality and
simplicity of the combination, but also
to the care and skill with which it is
manufactured by scientific processes
known to the CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP
Co. only, and we wish to impress upon
all the Importance of purchasing the
true and original remedy. AS the
genuine Syrup of Figs is manufactured
by the CALIFORNIA FIa SYRUP Co.
only, knowledge of that fact will
assist one in avoiding the worthless
limitations manufactured by other par
ties. The high standing of the CALI
FoRNIA FIG SYRUP Co. with the medi-
cal profession, and the satisfaction
which the genuine Syrup of Figs has
given to millions of families, makes
the name of the Company a guaranty
of the excellence of its remedy. It is
far in advance Of all other laxatives,
as it acts on the kidneys, liver and
bowels without irritating or weaken
ing them, and it does not grippe nor
nauseate. In order to get it's beneficial
effects, please remember the name of

Some Officials Are to Be Transferred
and Others Promoted.

1t is understood that on September 1
there will be a number of changes among
Pennsylvania Railroad Company officials.
These changes will consist of the moving
up of a number of the general superin-
endents and also the promotion of lower
officials. AT the general office Of the
in Philadelphia, there was some
hesitancy about speaking of the matter,
but it was subsequently learned hat F.
Wolcott Jackson. who has been the gem
eral superintendent of the United Rail-
road Companies of New Jersey, as well
as president of the same organization, is
going to devote himself to the duties of
the president, and r. L. Sheppard. the
present general superintendent of the
Pennsylvania Railroad division, is to be
transferred to the position of general SUI
perintendent of the United Railroad Com
panies of New Jersey, with headquarters
at Jersey City.
1t is said that J. M. Wallis, the gen
eral superintendent of the Northern Cen
trail and Philadelphia & Erie Railroad
Companies, is to be taken away from
his position and given that now held by
Mr.. Sheppard. 1t also stated that Mr..
Wallis was reluctant to make the change,
but was prevailed upon 10 do SO. Owing
to these promotions the vacancies created
will be filled by those who are tin line
and competent to do the work. E.. f.

Frank Stevens, who attempted on Thurs

it was found that he had six toes on each
foot. Robinson found that Stevens is
known in New York, where he was meas
ured in November last.
He is known to the New York police as
a professional ~pickpocket and goes by the
alias Of six Toed Frank" He was ar
rested twice in New York for picking
pockets, but escaped Imprisonment each

MAYOR MAKES A De NAND
Sends a Letter to the North
Jersey Company About
Sprinkling.

Mayor Hoos this morning sent the fol-
lowing letter to the North Jersey Street
Railway Company in reference to the
street sprinkling question:
August 5, 1898.
David Young, Vice-President, North Jer-
sey Street Railway. Co, % Exchange
Dear sir-yours Of the SECOND duly re-
ceived, and l wish TO express my thanks
for the clearness with which you have
to the sprinkling between the tracks. |
am also ndebted to you for the trouble
you took in verifying information which
was conveyed to me concerning the prac-
tice Of trolley companies in other murici-
palities. and which / perceive BY your
reply was given to me incorrectly.
Howevers am sorry to see that yonqr
luminous course towards this municipal
ity refuses to grant a request which
would undoubtedly induce traffic and
The conditions of this municipality are
sueh-and you are doubtless aware Of it
as not very well to admit of the making
of a present of the necessary water for
this purpose at the present time.
Your company obtained a very valua-
BILE franchise for practically nothing, and
l question very much if there is a city in
the Union where you could enjoy such
rich privileges for the paltry sum that
you pay on certain new lines and for the
nothing that you pay on the main
l. A1ELSs AN
l am sure that the citizens of this mu-
nicipality would appreciate the granting
of its Executives request at this time,
and / am equally positive that at some
future period when the City will 10 long
er nave to pay so dearly for its water that
they will not grumble if the City fur
nishes the company free water.
1t seems to me, moreover, that the time
for requesting is past, and | now demand
that your ompany sprinkle the streets
between its tracks and recede from Its
well settled policy and furnish the neces-
sary water for this purpose.
Our sister city of Newark receives not
only something in the way of percentage
on the gross receipts of its trolley COM
panies. but also a license fee. You la
the right of way on our streets, you run
the cars to suit your convenience, o en-
danger the lives of citizens by the rate
of speed maintained, and now ] propose
to find out whether a contract, made in
the past without a sufficient consideration
will bind the present generation. Further
more, I propose to find out If there is
any reason why a license fee can be
charged in Newark and not in Jersey
City.
Thanking you for our courtesy, ! re-f
main, Yours respectfully,
