Bryan sad Prosperity.

BRYAN is reported to have assert :
ed that the prosperity which the
people are now enjoying is in no
measure due to the application Of
Republican principles in govern
mental affairs, but he failed to
state clearly how these changed
conditions came about. The
change can not be the result of
the Cleveland administrations
policy of issuing bonds in time of
peace, and hardly to the anticipa-
ton of Bryan's election in 1900
and consequent application of
Chicago platform principles ~
in governmental affairs; neither
can it by statistics be proven that
the change is due TO crop failures
abroad and abundant harvests at
home, because such incidents
have occurred under Democratic
adversely as well as Republican
prosperity.
Bryan and his followers had
persistently denied the existence
of'improved conditions until pros
perity became so evident on ev-
cry hand that to longer continue
thus would have shaken the con-
fidence in them held even by
the professional calamity bowling
element, and were forced to
adopt new tactics in their argu-
ments. This course proved con-
clusively that they we'll knew the
improved conditions were due to
Republican success in 1896 and
consequent Inauguration of the
Republican policy in government
tai affairs. OF course, they could
not expect to cry down the ire
sistable wave of prosperity, but
hoped to win few congressman
and secure control of few State
administrations by their deception.
Having carried this deception just
as far as they dared for their own
safety, they now proceed to argue
that prosperity would have come
under any circumstances and the
Republican party is entitled to no
credit on account of it. But very |
few working people will be de-
ceived by such policy Of decep-
ton, which is clear as crystal.
In very recent campaigns, and
even yet prominent western Re-
publicans and newspapers are
twitted by Democrats for allow
ing themselves to be stultifed by
accepting the principles on the
money question embodied in the
St. Louis platform. If such Re-
publicans can be accused of hav-
ing allowed themselves to be stul-
.iied, what may not Bryan and
MS followers be accused of? Dur
ng the campaign of 1896, did not
he Bryanites presume to prove
BY facts and figures that prosper
ty could not be restored without
he adoption OF T6 to I, and when
conditions began to prove their
lntenable position, did they not
lgain by facts and figures attempt
0 oelie existing conditions? and {
when they can no longer deny /

Her Hnsband Murdered.

A letter was received in this city Mon
day from Mrs. Hattie Rogers, Of
Arizona, giving the account of her hus-
bands tragic death out there on the first
of July, when he and his partner were
held up in their store, robbed and shot
dead. Mrs. Rogers, whose maiden name
was Hattie Shull, daughter of the late
Samuel Shull,a carpenter here years ago,
left Rridgeton years ago to go to Arizona,
where her half brother, Samuel Shull
had cattle ranch. She kept house for
him until he was murdered, and she
then married ranchman named Rogers,
who was murdered also. Mrs. Rogers
was well-known here and at the time she
left Bridgeton she was living with the
late Jonathan Elmer. When the late
David McBIide was Sheriff she lived
with him. Her husband and his partner
who were murdered, were buried to-
gether on the 9th.

Financial Reports.

The Bridgeton National Bank, in its
quarterly report, presents a most graft
flying showing, and the business of that
institution is constantly increasing. With
a surplus fund amounting to the same as
its capital stock of 100000, it has undi-
vided profits amounting to SS1, ,oSll4,
while its individual deposits have
reached the amount of $352, ,927. .9S.
The Cumberland Trust Company also
shows its report, and the youngest of our
financial institutions is rapidly getting to
to the top. Its management is certainly
making most favorable record. The
capital stock has grown to S1l9,300, and
undivided profits of Sl7,l01.24 are on
hand. There are time deposits of S2o7 ,4S5,
and deposits on demand of Sl24, ,227 .26,
certainly an indication that the company
has the confidence of the community.

OF the best and favorably known business
men in the city. He came here some
seven years since and succeeded Ware &
Ernest in the coal and wood business. and
was most successful. He made friends
rapidly, and two years since was elected
a member of the Board of Freeholders in
the Third ward. Recently he sold his
business, and accepted temporary posi-
ton with the Deering Harvesting Com
pany, and was constantly urged by that
corporation to make permanent contract
with it. This he refused to do, however,
and was contemplating the manufacture
OF condensed milk, when the unexpected
offer OF this superintendency was made
to him. Mr.. Hires will be successful.
He is capable, thoroughly alive, and at
all times progressive. He is in close
touch with the people, believes in the
public having something to say concern
ing public institutions, and will at all
times cater to the masses. The American
Railways Company is to be congratulated
upon the choice made.

most handsomely furnished, aud arpsa,

ship, was arrested on Saturday afternoon
by constables Lore & Dare and locked up
in the county prison here.
Gilman lived in cave in the side of a
hill alone and lived here for several years.
He has brothers we'll known and in
fuential farmers, but he has refused to
have anything whatever to do with them,
and his eccentricities led him to the life
he was leading when taken.
He guarded his castle in the hills with
double barreled gun loaded with
powder. shot and paris green, and
threatened to shoot any one who dared to
enter. 1t was by main force that he was
taken by the officers.
When Gilman was brought to Jail he
created quite scene in the Sheriff's
Office. He cursed his captors and then
made dash for liberty running out the
office and skipping like two year old
colt down the flag path, but the officers
were on his heels and captured him before
he got out of the Court House yard.

A Jersey EntomoIoeist Says There is no
Poison In Their Sting.
New BRUNSWICK, n. j., July 10.-Pret-
ty maidens with tempting lips need not
be any more afraid of the kissing bug
than they are of young men, according
to the statement made by Professor
John B. Smith, the New Jersey State
Entmologist, who declares solemnly and
with an air of conviction that the bite of
the insect is as harmless as a common,
every-night bedbug.
II have been bitten by them many a
time" said Professor Smith, land if
anyone will bring me a live kissing
bug will let it sting to it's hearts con-
tent. We are simply going through a
craze like the one we had when spider
bites were popular. Everybody who
was bitten by any kind of an insect was
bitten by spider. The same is true
now. A kissing bug feeds on caterpil-
lars and other insects, and may thus
sometimes convey poison, but the insect
is no more numerous or dangerous now
than it ever was"

Tom carries his wealth in a big leather
pocket book, and this he keeps in his hip

friends. Tuesday night he was at work,
shining shoes down on South Laurel st.,
and after the rush was over, the pocket
book, containing bis money, was gone.
That made Tom do some thinking, and
he remembered that couple of his

ALL EFFORTS FAILED.
There VIII be no Fair in This City This
Season,

Season.
All efforts to arouse interest in q
Cumberland county fair this season, have
failed, and there will be no big exhibit
ton and probably no horse racing this
season in this city. The people of the
county seem to have no interest whatever
in the old Agricultural Society, and the
organization will join the long list OF
others of a similar nature that have gone
under.
1t will seem bit strange for Ssptem-
Der to come and go, and not have any
excitement down on the beautiful
grounds on Fayette street, but the days
of fairs here seem to have passed.
1t may be that within another year an
organization may be affected that will
give several race meets, as the horsemen
about here are getting very much inter.
ested in the sport, and some speedy
animals are owned here.
