At Owners Expense.

The Elmer Times last week said /:
Last Monday evening the Board OF
Health, of Elmer Borough, met at DR..
Woodruff s Office to take action lookingto
the removal of a large body of standing
water back of the properties on the south
side of Broad street, just above Elmer
street, which was caused by the recent
heavy rains. The Board ordered the pro-
perty drained at the owners expense.
Enoch Garrison has employed . number
Of men and a ditch has been constructed
TO carry off the surface water by way OF
Centre street and the run; a tile drainage
system will be constructed to prevent a
recurrence of the overflow in the future.
The water was said to be nearly three feet
deep in some places"
That is a pointer for PENIS Grove
citizens who suffer from bad drainage.
There are frequent complaints Of bad
drainage and many think that sew
er pipes should be laid down the
main streets. To have such is to lnstl-
tute a sewer system. To establish such
requires the signatures of owners OF hall
the real estate for a special election. The
applicants may specify whether the sew
ers are to be paid for by general assess
ment or by assessment of the cost on those
benefited.
In town like PENIS Grove many
places need proper drainage while other
parts, more especially the lower part
does not need sewers. Sewers will cost
at least 81 a foot and yer S., 1000 a mile.
Those who have bought high land and
paid higher prices should not be taxed
for low properties bought and built upon,
because they were cheaper. True it is
an improvement to the town, but espec.
tally to the owners Of low properties
bought at a lower price. It is no more
than right that those who need sewers
should have the cost put on their proper
ties benefited as the law provides.
The Council has no right to 60 on mol
improve private properties. When
pond or cesspool becomes a nuisance OF
private property and the owner or own
ers refuse to abate the nuisance by effect
ing a proper drainage, the Board O
| Health has a duty to perform by having
| the work done at the owners expense al
| in Elmer. The action of the Elmer
| Board of Health is a pointer for actor
| in PENIS Grove.

rather bold for the oil cloth trust to ask

New JERSEYS Fishing Interests.

According to the bulletin issued on
Saturday last by the United States Com
mission Of Fish and Fisheries it is noted
that New Jersey is easily second OF the
Middle States in the fishing industry.
The fisheries of the Middle Atlantic
States have an investment of $25, OS1 All,
and New Jersey has $2,72O,57 OF that
capital. There are So, 1862 persons engag-
ed in the fisheries, and 1900 of these
are employed in New Jersey. There are
1921 vessels employed, and Gil OF them
are in this State. There are 36,237 boats
employed, and 6l73 are in New Jersey.
New Jersey supplied 2,O92,3 1886 bushels
Of market oysters out of a total of 15,751,-
5O4 bushels, and 1916, 796 bushels of seed
oysters out of a total of 1898, 173. The
value of the clam, oyster and shellish
products of the New Jersey fisheries was
III, 9l3, 464 pounds, valued at 81, 754, no.
This total includes the oyster product.
The Jersey City Journal states that too
little attention is given the bills affecting
games and fishery interests. They are
~-~u-. ..~ ~
pondents as 'sanother game and fish BILL"
and sent to the committee. Few know
or care what becomes of them, yet the
fishery interests of this State are greater
than those OF any other State in most
particulars, and are exceeded only by
Virginia in the number of persons en-
gagged in the industry.
Laws affecting 1900 persons directly
and possibly $4,000 persons in the aggre-
gate, and involving nearly 5000, 900 of
invested capital, producing nearly So
OOO,O 0O a year, certainly deserve more
thoughtful treatment.

A startling incident, is narrated by John
Oliver of Philadelphia, rs follows: II was
in an awful condition. My skin was al
most yellow, eyes sunken, tongue coated,
pain continually in back and sides, no APP
petite, growing weaker day by day. Three
physicians had given me up Then l was
advised to use Electric Bitters; to my great

ment. 1 continued their use for three
weeks, and am now q well man. know

The Cost Of Living.

Alo OOSt 81 LIVING.
The Philadelphia Press recently sale
the cost of living on April LIST was about
the same as April LIST, last year.
1.-THE large packing houses are working
together, practically as a trust, but
whether or not that affects the meat sup.
ply is not easy to tell. Meat prices would
have gone up, because of the partial fail.
ure OF the feed supply, regardless of any
trust. But probably they went a good
deal higher by the operations of this
combine than wa necessary, and they
keep at that point.
On March l, 1897, Dun's index number
figures made a total Of $72, 455, while on
March l, 1903, the total was $1O1, O67.
That indicates the rise in prices in six
years under Republican rule. Bread
stufis increased more than anything else,
metals coming next. The increase in
meat prices was less than half the in
crease in breadstuffs. There was an in
crease in everything, and a large increase
also in wages. As no such showing is
made by any European nation it is evil
IDENTIFY tho result principally of the tariff
and the way the Government has been
conducted"
According to Dun's index numbers the
cost OF living the last six years has in
creased from one-third to one-half. In
other words, what cost a man S72 on
April /, 1897, cost him SOL on April 1,
1903. If his wages or income has in
creased accordingly that man is as well
Cd, but those who have fixed prices like
the price of newspapers, and many other
articles are not profting by the increase.
The Press says, "As no such showing is
made by any European nation it is evil
IDENTIFY the result principally of the tar
it," The large packing houses are work.
ing together practically as a trust.
The question arises if the tariff increas-
es the cost OF living nearly so per cent
70 the consumers are the consumers get
ting their share of the increase? If The
consumers are not getting that increase.
then the trusts must be getting the in
crease. Examine your increase of in
come the past six years and the increased
cost of living. If your increase of in
come does not meet the increase cost Of
living why should you favor or tolerate |
g tariff which benefits the trusts more
it does yOu.

Danger OF Colds and Grip.

The greatest danger from colds and grip
is their resulting in pneumonia. If reason
able care is used, however, and Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy taken, all danger will
be avoided. Among the tens of thousands
who have used this remedy for these dis
eases we have yet to learn ola single case
having resulted in pneumonia, which shows
~conclusively that it is a certain preventive
of that dangerous disease. 1t will cure a
cold or an attack of the grip in less time
than any other treatment. 1t is pleasant
and safe to take. For sale by 81. S. French.

peared is Accounted For.
Ostende, Belgium, Aug. PA man
known as Solly. who has been stopping at
the Hotel Splendide in this city, was
seized with appoplexy at the race course
on Sunday. He died in the ambulance
while it was on it's way to the hospital
and the body was taken to the morgue.
Thence it was removed and buried.
1t is now said by the turfmen who met
Solly that his real name was Schlesinger
and that he was the missing member of
the Miller 'get-rich-quick'' syndicate
which created a scandal in New York
City.
Schlesinger has been a habitue of the
Belgian tracks since he was compelled to
quit Paris because of suspicion that he
was implicated with the turf scandals of
Paris last fall. Owing to police interdic-
ton, it Is said, he was unable to re-cross
the French frontier, and he has been do
ing the best he could in a small way
at Ostende all during the summer.
His occupation was generally that of
touting and making a small book and oc-
casionally he was in funds. but when he
died he was apparently bereft OF all the
wealth which his racing companions say
ne brought with him from America. and
which they declare formed part of the
proceeds of the Miller syndicate.
In March, 1902, Edward Schlesinger dis
appeared, just as the public and police be-
gan the investigation OF the Miller Syndi-
cate scandal From ill-luck at the race
track the Miller scheme lifted him to
affluence.
On the morning that the papers con-
tanned an account of the Miller syndicate
Schlesinger took ship for Europe. He
had a satchel full of money and it is
said that he took as much as $4,000
with him. All efforts TO trace him proved
futile. but once he was heard OF from
Carlsbad and again in Paris.
