THE VOTERS.
Something of What They Say
and Are Doing.

A leading professional man said
yesterday in an interesting conversa-
tlon: Il was much impressed last
night with the address made at Re-
publican headquarters and nothing
impressed me more than the few ear
nest words he said of Congressman
Loudenslager. You heard him? Of
course. Well, you know he made this
remark, or words to that effect.
Congressman Loudenslager to
some extent is neglecting his own
interests while spending the months
at Washington working in the inter-
ests of sound money and protection,
and we should not let his interests
suffer. Every word true, If Mr..
Loudenslager could come here and
make an earnest campaign; he could
undoubtedly build up a strong cam
paign, but he is not in the District.
He works day and night to assist in
the Congressional campaign, giving
his entire attention to the close dis
tricts. Think of it. l am informed
that he is at the head of the cam
paign of every Congressional District
east of the Alleghanies. Do you sup
pose if Mr.. Loudenslager had not oe-
Veloped into national leader that
he would have this responsibility
placed upon his shoulders. Well,
| hardly. l think we should be proud
of our Congressman, and I'm glad
that he was born in Cumberland
county. l think Cumberland county
owes it to itself to stand most Loyalty
by Henry z. LoudenSlager. !"

NerVY Lad This.

The class of 'Ol at the Bridgeton
High School, can boast of having pos
sibly the bravest and most nervy
member of any previous class. VIM
Shaw, president of the class, yester-
day accomplished a task that will be
remembered for time to come. The
rope on the flag pole in front of the
school house had become weakened
with age and broke Unexpectedly.
A new rope had to be put through
the ball at the top, and to save the
pole from being lowered and a great
deal of work, he volunteered to climb
the pole 76 it. high and accomplish
the task himself.

Are Enthusia site.

Republicans are enthusiastic and
far from apathetic. They are in real
earnest in this campaign and only
want an opportunity to show their
position. The outpouring of the peo-
pie Monday night, was a great sur
prise to the leaders, and certainly
must have been pleasing.
There will be other opportunities
for great gatherings. Congressman
LoudenSlager promised to be here one
night and the Bridgeton Republicans
will accord him a magnificent recep-
tion.

One of the rooms in the South
Laurel street headquarters, will be
fitted up for the boys. Many of the
youths like to gather down there and
look over the illustrated papers,
magazines, etc, and play checkers,
dominoeS and other interesting
games. The boys soon grow to be
men, and it is proper that they
should be early impressed with the
Importance of RepublicaniSm to the
country.

The handsome banner that swings
across South Laurel street, catches
the eye and attracts the attention of
every paSserby. The big banner is
work of beauty. The portraits of
Mckinley and Roosevelt are unusually
cleverly done, and the lettering plain.
That banner may not make any more
votes than the handsome festooning
in front of the South Laurel street
headquarters, but it all shows that
the Republicans are alive.

Remodicd.

INCHItuItu.
All the members responded to roll
callMonday night, except MesSrs. Hort

A communication was received
from the Board of Education of the

establishment of the schools of Gal
weston, which were recently dam
aged or destroyed.
The Secretary reported that City
solicitor declined the request of the
Board for an opinion as to the status
OF the Board of Education of Bridge
ton under the new school law, unless
the Board would compensate him.
The following bills were ordered

The Supervising Principal made his
report of the conditions of the
schools, from which we extract:
Immediately after the last meeting
of the Board, the Teachers Commit
tee discussed and planned. that none
should be deprived of school privi-
leaeS; especial thought being given
to.South Avenue school.
BY a partial promotion from the
lower crowded rooms, to thinner
upper ones, all were provided for.
The eight that were reported as
waiting in one room had dwindled to
four; the names of two children had
been recorded and the children taken
home to wait till they should become
FIVE years old; another child had
moved to Millville and one had been
sent home to have her head cleaned
of vermin.
Relative to scarlet fever Mr.. Hitch
ner said:
"There have been twelve cases in
all reported, eight of these being of
school age, but not all of the eight
having been in school. All in Pearl
street district. The proper commit
tees are taking steps in relation to the
whole matter -
On motion of Mr.. Cox, S. worth of
stamps were ordered purchased for
the use of the schools.
On motion it was ordered that the
Mounts children, on Irving avenue,
be admitted to school,
On motion of Mr.. Turner non-resi-
dent children were ordered to attend
schools in the townships where they
reside.
Supervisor Hitchner was instructed
to secure from the County Superin-
tendent, permits for such children
from outlying districts who are at
tending schools in Bridgeton, in order
that requisition may be made from
the respective townships for the pro-
portionate amount of school tax due
the city.
On motion, it was ordered that the
recommendation for supplemental
reader be referred to the Committee
on Teachers and Text Books, and if
they approve. the Committee on
Book, Stationery and Printing, Sc
cure a supply.
The Secretary was instructed to
write to the State School Superinten-
dent for supply of school laws for
the use of the Board.

1t is not unlikely that the Repub-
lican candidates Will take a swing
around the circle, and visit every
part of the county, holding meetings

Russia Aggrieves Germany.

Berliu, March 15-An unpleasant
impression has been created here by
the speech of Chaplain Maltcheff OF
the Russian Embassy at the launch.
ing Of the Russian warship Askold
yesterday. His remarks contained
no allusiop to Emperor William,
who was present, beyond reference
to the fact that his Majesty is a
Russian Admiral.
1t was reported last evening in
court circles that a Russian Grand
Duke who had been expected to at
tend the launching found an excuse
not to come upon learning that EN-
peror William would attend and
would follow this speech with Rus
sophie remarks, which Russia does
not desire.

Germany Will Not Accept
Russian Proposal.
REFUSES TO WITHDRAW.
Consider 1t Necessary to Keep Her
Troops in Peking-other Powers
May Make This Decision the Basis
for Similar Action.

Washington, Sept. 6.-The attitude
of the German government on the Rus
sian proposal to withdraw the troops
from Peking has been made known to
the United States and is to the effect
that Germany considers it necessary
to retain her forces in Peking.
The attitude of Germany comes to
the authorities here in a communica-
tion from the American charge at Ber-
lin, William Jackson. The statement
of Germany's views is made in such a
form as to be taken as conclusive that
it is Germany's purpose not to with
draw her troops from Peking, even tho
Russia should do so. 1t is said to be
more in the line of a simple announce
ment than an argument or answer.
1t is presumed it reflects the views
made known by Germany to Russia.
While there is no definite information
as to the attitude of most of the other
countries, there is reason to believe
that the German position finds a
strong sympathetic approval at the
other European capitals and it will be
the basis OF like action from the other
powers, if they have not already made
it known that they favor remaining at
Peking.

BRYAN's TRIP FALLS FLAT.
His Visit to Maryland Arouses Little
Enthusiasm.


Washington, Sept. 6.-Bryans first
invasion of the east since his nomi-
nation fails to reveal that enthusiasm
with which he was formerly greeted
Tuesday nights demonstration at
Cumberland centered mostly in the
appearance of Senator Wellington up
on the same platform with the demo-
cratic candidate.
Anti-imperialism was the keynote
of the discussion, and all the econom-
ic sophistries and populistic notions
enunciated at the democratic conven-
ton, were studiously avoided. Demo-
Gratis who returned here from Cum
berland confess candidly that Bry-
ans visit is not expected to do much
good in Maryland, and that if the
state is carried by the democrats, it
will be in spite of Bryan and due to
local causes.
Maryland is normally a democratic
state, and, simultaneously with West
Virginia, was the first state to break
away from the confederation known
as the solid south" in 1896, when
President Mckinley received plur-
ality of $4,000 votes. This remarkable
convulsion in Maryland's political his
tory was the result of democratic
bossism perpetrated by Arthur Pue
German, and likewise of an inability
to digest free silver and Bryans po-
litical sophistries. At heart Mary
land is sound money state. The in
telligent democrats of Maryland have
no use for populism, the income tax
and the remainder of Bryan's pet
theories.

TWO MEN FOUND DEAD IN IOWA.
Authorities at Sexton Investigating
What Seems Double Murder.

Mason City, Sept. 6.-Two men
were found dead yesterday near Sex
ton, Kossuth county. They were
picked up by trainmen of the Milwau-
kee road and taken to Sexton. Both
had. it is thought, come to their
deaths by foul means. Near the men
We're two telescopes, which had been
rifled, and everything in their pock-
cts had been taken to prevent identi-
fication. 1t was thought that they
were stock men who had been held
up by tramps and killed, the bodies
having been dragged to the track to
give the impression that they had
been injured by the train. One man
had a terrible cash from his left eye
down thru the chin, and the other
showed marks of having been slugged.
The bodies were turned over to the
authorities, who are making search
for suspicious characters and endeav-
oring to establish the identity of the
supposed murdered men.

DEFECTIVE INFORMATION.
County Auditors Troubled Over Tele-
phone Assessments,

Des Moines, Sept. 6.-The county
auditors of Iowa are in trouble be-.
cause of the telephone assessment re-
Gently fixed by the executive council.
They are unable to ascertain the
mileage in the different road and
school districts and are in guam
Diary as to how they shall apportion
the total valuation per county as
the council. This trouble in the case
of the railroad and express assess
ments has been obviated because the
mileage is the same in most cases
as the railroad mileage for the couu-
ty, and this mileage is apportioned
among the school and road districts.
In a number of cases the secretary
of the executive council has received
letters from auditors over the state
stating that the mileage was wholly
wrong, and that local companies are
wholly omitted. The only way for
the county auditors to act in sucn
cases is to order the county surveyor
to at once survey the lines and re-
port the mileage to the auditor. who
shall then carry the same upon the
tax books at the rate per mile at
which the line has been assessed by
the council
This will work an injury to the COM
panies, but it will certainly be pen
atty upon them for shrinking their
mileage. The auditor should then
notify the secretary OF the executive
council what he has done in order
tnat next year the mileage can be
corrected, and the whole thing
strightened out
