South Amboy, May 13:--James
Price, of Bergen Hill, had his right
foot crushed and later amputated,
above the knee, as the result Of
collision of coal cars in the cut on the
Camden g. Amboy division Of the
Pennsylvania Railroad last night.
Price was acting conductor on a
drill of cars that broke away from the
engine and ran into other cars on the
track. The force of the smash threw
Price under the wheels in such way
that his foot was cut off at the ankle
and otherwise badly crushed so that
when DIR. Haines arrived upon the
scene he found it necessary to ampu-
tate the member.
Price showed much GOODNESS. He
dragged himself from the cars and
later crawled to where his severed
foot lay and then asked where he
would get another one.

The Board held secret session in
Superintendent Shull's Office during
which the teachers salaries were dis
cussed. This was done before the
regular meeting AS soon as all the
commissioners had seated themselves
at the regular meeting Superintendent
Shull brought from an anti-room a
beautiful horseshoe of cut flowers and
placed it on the table before the Com
missioners. 1t stood over three feet
high. Hanging from the center were
two long white ribbons on which in
gold letters was inscribed "Congratu-
late you President Walker. - Presi-
dent Walker was completely taken by
surprise and not knowing from whom
it came is at loss whom to thank
A News reporter made an effort to
find out later when he was only
assured that it came from no one con-
nected with the schools in any way.
President Walker called the meeting
to order whereupon Commissioner
Massopust was nominated by DR.. Kit
chel and Commissioner Walker was
nominated by Commissioner Woglom
for president. The first vote was tie
and Commissioner Poulsen moved that
they take another vote. The result
of the second vote showed the Board

elected president and Commissioner
Kitchel was the first to congratulate
him. The congratulations went
around the room and the board then
settled down to the transaction of
business.
Superintendent Shull read his
monthly report after which he read
the report of the teachers committee
in which it was shown that all the
teachers were appointed and thirty
eight of the total of sixty -one would
receive an increase in wages next fall.
All those who now receive $43 month
get an increase of 81, while S. H.
Lloyd and Miss Louise Ramsay get
m increase of So month, and @. A..
Sheppard, principal of School No. Q,
will get 5000 a year or an increase of
5000.
AT the conclusion of his monthly
report Superin tendent Shull made
recommendation of amendments to
their rules and regulations which
were adopted. They both related to
the qualifications of applicants for
the position of teacher. The first was
in case the applicant is not graduate
from first grade State Normal School
or College and is without State GER
tificate. the applicant must be grad
nate from a school equal to the first
grade of our schools, two years post
graduate experience and course
grade percentage of So. The second,
instead of taking in consideration this
length of service, competency and the
class they are in, the former and latter
are stricken off and teacher is to be
promoted upon the qualification of
her competence to fill position.
President Walker then announced
his committees as follows: Finance,
Commissioners Urbansky, Poulsen and
Kitchel: building, Commissioners
Massopust, Poulsen and Woglom !;
teachers, Commissioners Kitchel and
Woglom; books, Commissioners Wog-
lom and Urbansky; accounts, Com
missioners Poulsen and Kitchel, print

bansky.

resolution which was adopted, pre-
venting the janitors from purchasing
anything for the schools in the future
without an order.
Mr.. Southwick was given the floor
for few moments during which he
gave the board an estimate to furnish
a cluster of 80 electric lights in the
center of the auditorium and to fur

MERCHANTS DISCUSS
THE TRADING STAMPS
Held Meeting in Odd Fellows Building and Talked over the caUo
manifestation Re-Orgonzed and Committees Named
Several Merchants Present who have Taken Stamps

There were sabout 100 merchants
present at the meeting Of the Mer-
chants Association in the Odd Eel
lows building last night. After a
long discussion it was determined to
continue the war against the intro
duction of trading stamps in this city.
The merchants were found to be
unanimous upon this point. There
were even some merchants present, it
was said, who have already been ad-
vertised as having adopted the scheme.
They declared according to the report,
that they had not and, furthermore,
did not want to handle the stamps.
Those who have already taken the
stamps, however, are bound by con-
tract to give them away in making
their sales if the public asks for them.
Mr.. Reynolds, of Reynolds & Han.
son, acted as chairman of the meeting
and Frank Hilsdorf was secretary.
The association was practically re-
organized and number of committees
appointed. Among these was a CEN
tral committee which may meet at
any time to take action as the ocoa-
sion demands. In this all honorable
means will be used to defeat the use
of stamps as the merchants say they
are satisfied that the sentiment Of the
public is against them.

Hts Last Hope Realized.

(From the Sentinel, Gebo. Mont)
In the first opening OF Oklahoma to
settlers in 1859, the editor Of this pa
per was among the many seekers af-
ter fortune who made the big race
one fine day in April. During his trav-
cling about and afterwards his camp
ing upon his claim, he encountered
much bad water, which, together with
the severe heat, gave him a very se-
we're diarrhoea which 1t seemed al
most impossible TO check, and along
in June the case became so bad he
expected TO die. One day one OF his
neighbors brought hiIn one small bot
tie of Chamberlain's Collie. Cholera
and Diarrhoea remedy as last hope.
A big dose was given him while he
was rolling about on the ground in
great agony, and in a few minutes
the dose was repeated. The good eff
feet of the medicine was noticed and
within an hour the patient was TAX
ing his first sound sleep for a fort
night. That one little bottle worked
a complete cure and he can not but
feel grateful. The season for bowel
disorders being at hand suggests this
