The State Board of Children's Guard

tee have withdrawn the above statement
In their communication they say that thu
above portion of their report to the Gov
ernor was made under a Misrepresentation
THE MANAGEMENT COMMENDED.
After a personal examination of the
farm, the buildings and the inmates and
after hearing the testimony of large
number of competent and credible wit
nesses, who have known the Institution
for many years, we find that the manage
ment of the county farm and almshouse
has been ably and economically admins
tered by the present steward, Theodore B.
Gaskill, and the care of the inmates has
been of kind and character best suited
for their welfare. We also find that the
almshouse has been kept by Mr.. and Mrs.
Theodore B. Gaskill in paternal and ma
ternal manner as family, and that the
best interests of a charitable institution
have been met in their personal direction,
guardianship and care. The people Of
Burlington county have occasion to be
proud of this noble charity to the poor
and needy Of their fellow citizens, so gen
i er0usly maintained by them at this in
stitution.
In conclusion, we deem it our duty
and ask the liberty of your honorable
Board, In connection with our report, to
correct public SANDER of the steward of
the Burlington county almshouse, Theo-
dore B. Gaskill
| There was published in connection
with the report of the State Board of
Children's Guardians in several New York
and Philadelphia newspapers a statement,
that the steward of the Burlington county
almshouse was incompetent for public ser
vice and that the Board of Chosen Free
holders had tried to get rid of him, but
could not because the steward claimed he
could not be removed by reason of the
| fact that he was a veteran of the war of
the rebellion. These statements are en-
tirely false and grossly libellous. This
SANDER is an angry slap at the Steward, a
tried and competent public officer.
An agent of the State Board of Child
ren's Guardians, shortly before this pub
LEGATION, left the Steward of the Aims
house very angry because the Steward
would not consent to have children taken
from the institution by her without her
first obtaining the consent OF the Board OF
Chosen Freeholders.
The members of the State Board OF
Children's Guardians who were before us,
disayowed any connection with this attack
upon the Steward, but refused to be pub
licly questioned and examined by us on
this subject.

Sick poison is a poison which makes
you sick 1t comes from the stomach.
The stomach makes it out of undigested
food
The blood gets it and taints the whole
body with it. That's the way of it.
The way to be rid of it is to look after
your digestion.
If your food is all properly digested,
there will be none left in the stomach to
make sick-poison out of.
If your stomach is too weak to see to
this properly by itself, help it along with
few doses of Shaker Digestive Cordial.
That's the cure of it.
Shaker Digestive Cordial is delicious,
healthful, tonic cordial, made of pure
medicinal plants, herbs and wine
1t positively cures indigestion and pre-
vents the formation of sick poison.
At druggists Trial bottles 10 cents.

December twenty first, 1899, eighty one
males and forty nine females in the sane
department, and forty whine (males and fe
males) in the insane department, making
total of one hundred and seventy nine
inmates in the institution.
OF the eighty one males the books show
there were as follows:
Eight less than ten years,
-Four between ten and twenty,
Three between twenty and thirty,
Five between thirty and forty,
Ten between forty and fifty.
Twelve between fifty and sixty,
Fourteen between sixty and seventy,
Fifteen between seventy and eighty,
Eight between eighty and ninety,
Two over ninety years of age.
OF the forty nine females there were as

Seven less than ten years,
Two between ten and twenty,
Three between twenty and thirty,
Seven between thirty and forty,
Four between forty and fifty,
Thirteen between fifty and sixty,

In some cases, inmates who have left
the Institution, with view of returning
and never did return, no record of the time
and manner of their leaving has been
made; but in most cases the time and
manner of leaving the Institution is re-
corded.
We have examined the books with q
view of ascertaining the disability OF the
inmates, and after personal examination
also, we find they are old, crippled, OF
have some chronic ailment, except five
persons between the ages of twenty and
forty, who are employed on the farm or in

Oh locality where the right kind of
scales can be had in large quantities.
1t is suggested that a suitable place
might be found on the st. Lawrence
river, among the Thousand Islands.
The scales should be small and have a
silver sheen. The brighter they are
the higher price they will command.
The scales should be removed while
the fish are alive If possible. Twenty
nye thousand pounds of these scales
can be used year. It is anticipated
that twice that quantity may be used
IN few years.

WHO IS THIS capt" ALLISON?

WHO IS THIS CAPT" ALLISON?
F. ON the Alexandria Herald OF re-
It is reported that Capt" E. II. ALI
son will stump the Indian county TOT
votes for Bryan and will tell the Sioux
that every wrong, every deception and
every theft can be laid directly to the
door of the Republicans. He is report
ed to have been hired by w. Z. Kidd,
chairman of the Pcpuiist committee,
and his work is to commence at once.
The report further says Allison has
lived among the Sioux all his life, that
he was chief scout for General Sheri-
dan for years. also chief scout and in
terpreter for General Otis, that he
brought Sitting Bull back from CAM
ada after the Custer massacre, that ne
has always been a friend of the In
dams and never deceived them: that
he was adopted into the tribe in 1886
with impressive ceremonies, presided
over by Chief Gall and married a
Sioux princess, Sinawin, daughter OF
Sacred Bear. All of which reads well
and leads us to the belief that the new
captain" was the one time colonel
Allison we knew, and that he has been
stringing the Press and Dakotan, from
the columns of which the report is
CLEANED.
The Colonel Allison we knew used
to hang around Pierre and FIT. Pierre
about the time the reservation was OPP
ened. He was squaw-man but the
idea of his being married to "prin-
cess" of that nation is on par with
the balance of his statements. Our Col
one" Allison used to regale US with
| just about such stories as that related
by the Press and Dakotan. except he
hadn't at that time discovered the gull
ty parties.
His talk about General Sheridan and
Otis is about as reliable as his asser'
ton that he brought Sitting Bull back
from Canada and all of Ii is on pal
with his alleged great influence witt
the Sioux.
If Captain" and Colonel Allison
are one and the same we would sugges
| that Chairman Kidd investigate the
| gentleman and while about 1t find ou
when, why and how he left Pierre
some time in 1891, where he went ant
what he has been doing since.

thing" discovered by Brother Kidd ant

A timely warning is sounded against
any wholesale rush OF fortune-seekers
to South Africa. The ending of the
war and the absorption OF the Boer
states into the British Empire win
doubtless stimulate migration to those
regions and will also increase the op-
portunities of profitable settlement
there. But 1t viii not be prudent for
any one to go thither without some
capital, or at least sufficient resources
to maintain him for some time in ,raa-
pendence of anything he may or NAV
not do there. 1t is an expensive conn.

other sources of profit can be worked
