1. is grim war that is being waged
by American troops. under the Stars
and Stripes in the far off Philippines
1t is no imitation, but the real article
1t is no holiday excursion that the sol
der boys are engaged in. and no police
work like that given the troops in Cubs
and Porto Rico. 1t is war to The
through tangled jungles, against {
horde of fierce savages led by fienG
incarnate. The nature of the country
and the climate gives the native army
a great advantage, but the valor and
endurance Of = theysAmerican soldiers
know no end, and their advance is
sweeping everything before it. The
fighting of the past few days is the
most severe that has yet occurred
Since the insurgents made their gen.
eral assault upon the American army,
only to be SO completely repealed. some
two months ago, thereshas been desul-
tory aghtihs and aeqhent skirmishes
with ne result tnatf the army of
Aguinaldo has been driven steadily
back and the American line pushed
out in all directions inland further
from the city of sAIanila.
The recent general 'sadvance of our
army was intended to crush and scat
ter the insurgent army,e take their cap
ital andscapture theG1eader. The re-
sulting battles have caused us our first
considerable loss. but 'the rebels have
been but to seomplete,lput with loss
many times our own General Otis is
successful at every point and will
doubtless succeed in all. that he aimed
to accomplish with rhe probable ex-
ception of the capture of Aguinaldo.
The taking of this willy scoundrel
would remove the heart and head of
the insurgent movement. and put an
immediate end to all &, opposition to
American authority in the Philippines.
1t is much to beThoped that he may be
made a prisoner.
Tie story of. the fighting, as the
cable flashes it around the world,
shows that the same spirit animates our
boys in their irresistible charges at
Malabon, Malinta and Malolos, as was
shown at La Quasina and on San Juan
hill, and before that on a hundred bat
tie fields where.rour flag never knew
defeat The Western volunteers are side
by side with the seasoned regulars,
ana the death of gallant Colonel Egg
bert of the 22d Infantry at the head of
his charging regiment shows that
American officers, in the Philippines as
elsewhere, know where to find the most
glorious DEATH This same regiment
lost it's commanding officer, Colonel
Wfkoff. in a similar charge at Santi-
ago where Colonel Egbert received a
wound that gave MIN promotion.
May General Otis victory in Luzon
be immediate and complete. with no
unnecessary loss of precious lives. The
crushing of Aguinaldo and insurgent
horde in the vicinity of Manila means
the pacification of the whole Philippine
group. The campaign is adding i'm
perishable laurels to American arms.

The New Gas Company.

The final arrangements for transferring
the bonds and stock of the Mount Holly
Gas Company to the American Investment
Company were made yesterday, when
Henry c. Risdon received check for the
entire amount of the property. The bonds
will be paid off at their face value. The
stockholders will receive an advance of so
per share, making $500 In addition to this
the stockholders will receive small sum
on account of rent of the gas works to
date.
What the new company proposes to dc
has not yet been made public, nor is il
known who is to be manager of the
works. Of one thing there can be little
doubt, and that is that there is a large
chance for impro vement in the quality OF
the Illuminating article now being sold
under the name of gas. Consumers used
to complain at the price they had to pay
for coal gas furnished by the old Mount
Holly company, but we doubt whether
anyone would object to going back to the
old system at the old rate But this is
not necessary. Good gas can be furnished
at 81. so per thousand, Notwithstanding
the present corporation does OF seem tC
be able to do it.
The Plainfield Gas and Electric Ligh
Company has schedule of rates by which
gas used for illumination will be sold fol
81. 80 per thousand feet subject to a dis
count of ten cents a thousand feet fol
prompt payment, making a net of 81. 40
| When the commodity is used for fuel pur
poses it will be charged at the same gros
, rate, subject to discount of twenty-five
cents thousand feet for prompt payment
making the net rate 81. 20.

Teacherr, Asnoointion.

The next meeting of the Burlington
County Teachers Association will be held
in Burlington on the third Saturday in
October. AT the May meeting of the As
ISOLATION it was decided to hold three
meetings during the present school year,
each of which to be in different town in
the county, in order that the meetings
may be more accessible to a larger num-
Der of teachers.
1t was also decided to make change in
the character of instruction usually given.
and committee was appointed to prepare
a programme for the October meeting
1t is the purpose of the Association to pro-
vide instruction sufficiently varied in char
acter to meet, as far as possible, the needs
of all grades of work As the character
of the exercises will be changed from time
to time to meet the requirements of the
schools, all teachers in the county will be
considered members of the Association,
thus affording each an opportunity to aid
in advancing the best interests of the
schools. One of the prominent features
of the October meeting win be teaching a
class of small children reading by one
skilled in the use of the Ward method
The class will be selected from the first or
second year grades of the Burlington
! schools.

Cowgill Han Commit. suiotde,

This community was startled and
shocked on Friday evening to hear that
Cowgirl Hall had committed suicide at his
home in Camden. Hall formerly lived in
Mount Holly, moving to Camden about a
year ago. No reason has yet been discov-
cred for the rash act.
On Wednesday evening he went TO Bur
lington to see young lady to whom he
was paying attention. He was in good
spirits and left for Camden on Thursday
morning There was nothing to indicate
that he had troubled mind. After sup
per he went to a social gathering and was
one of the gayest of the party. He did
not come in that night and on Friday
morning his mother was almost crazed at
finding his body in an out house. In his
hand was are volver. the bullet from which
had ended the young mans life. A neigh
Dor says she heard pistol shot about two
o'clock Friday morning. This was proba-
bly, the fatal shot.
Hall was "a years of age, and was of a
cheerful disposition, one of the last to be
thought of as suicide. He was engaged
to young lady at Burlington and was to
have been married Christmas. He took a
great interest in athletic sports and was a
member of the Mount Holly foot ball team
for several seasons He was general
favorite and his death has caused much
sorrow among his young friends here.
The remains were brought to Mount
Holly yesterday and inferred in the Bap-
| list cemetery.

When your stomach begins to trouble
you, it needs help. The help it needs, is
to digest your food, and, until it gets it,
you won't have any peace. Stomach
trouble is very distressing, very obstinate,
very dangerous. Many of the most dan.
gerous diseases begin with simple iHdigest
ion. The reason is that indigestion (not
digestion, not-nourishment) weakens the
system and allows disease germs to attack
it. The antidote is Shaker Digestive Cor

Convention Notes.

The date for the Democratic convention
in this county has been fixed for Wednes-
day, October 49,
The statement made so often by the
Democrats that there is no sympathy in
politics was shown to be untrue.
Assemblyman Wright's wife was quite
sick last week and he was unable to re-
main to hear the result of the convention.
John G. Horner made very good
speech in nominating Mr.. Fenton. John
has had considerable of the ''millennial
music" taken out of his system in the past
two years.
The county committee made a good Sc
lection of a chairman The convention
was inclined to be noisy and it required
skillful management to keep the wheels
moving correctly, but Mr. Deacon was
equal to the occasion.
Franklin P. Endicott did not allow his
name to be presented to the convention.
He refused to enter into any deals which
might have been to his benefit, and when
he found he had no chance to be named
by the convention he withdrew His ac-
ton was not discreditable.
Augustus M. Grobler, who retires from
the office of coroner this year. has reason
to be proud of his record. His actions
have been above reproach and his bills
have never been rejected because of theil
exorbitance or illegality. His whole aim
appears to have been to conduct his office
at the least expense to the county.
After the convention there was the
usual amount of explanations by some
who wanted to get in out of the wet, but
it would have been better for two young
men from Burlington if they had quietly
returned to the city in which they reside
without talking so much They heard
some truths that they did not entirely
relish, but truths just the same.
Joseph G. Bower has but one thing to
regret in the campaign just ended and
that his failure to make the nomination OF
sheriff To be defeated by man like
Charles R. Fenton is no disgrace. The
great difficulty in the whole affair has
been that the two men were so closely
allied in bonds of friendship and enjoyed
the confidence of the same class of asso.
ciates. There will be no sulking ON the
part of Joe Bower and his friends.
