THINKS BONDs VALID.

After hearing arguments Judge Wall
at Tampa sustained the demurrer of
the county and denied the injunction
against the sale of the bonds Both
parties to the suit WILL it is said, inn
mediately appeal to the Supreme
Court, in the hope of obtaining a de-
cision at the present term. Judge Wall
stated that he would sustain the de-
murrer and dismiss the bills of both
complainants, as he considered the
validating act, as passed by the Legis-
lature, constitutional and the bonds
valid.

ChamberIain'S Stomach and Liver
Tablets Better Than Pills.

The question has been asked, In
what way are Chamberlain Stomach
and Liver Tablets superior to pills?
Our answer is-They are easier and
more pleasant to take, more gentle
and mild in their action and more re-
liable. as they can always be depend
ed upon. Then they cleanse and in
vigorate the stomach and leave the
bowels in a natural condition, while
pills are more harsh in effect and their
use is often followed by constipation.
For sale by all druggists.

GARDEN
AND HOUSEHOLD
FARM,
By S. A. COOK.

Growing Tomatoes In Double Rows.
Several times we have described the
method of growing tomatoes without
stakes and yet keeping the fruit from
contact with the soil. Where stakes
arr. expensive and it is desired to dis
pense with them the next best plan
is 10 set the plants in double rows,
wide and narrow widths alternating
thus Between the first and second
row let the distance be twenty or four
teen inches and between the second
and third rows a distance of four
feet; between the third and fouth.
twenty or forty inches and so on until
the plat is laid off entirely. Thus the
middle will be alternately two and four
feet. Set the plants in the narrow
rows zigzag. or nearly as possible.
While the plants are still quite small
and before they fall over, pillow out
the narrow middle thoroughly. The
alternate wide middle will be cultivated
two or three times oftener.
When the plants come into bearing
or earlier the vines are trained over
the narrow middle and made to sup
mort each other. Not until one tries
this will it be realized how easy 1t is
to make this support sufficiently et-
fective so as to keep fully so per cent.
of the fruit bearing stems entirely
clear of the ground In wet seasons
especially this is very desirable. Such
seasons fully 25, if not so per cent,
more tomatoes will be obtained in the
result of keeping the vines from con-
tact with the soil.
In the amateur or kitchen garden
the dwarf varieties of tomatoes, such
as the "Aristocrat" and Dwarf Cham
pion." will give the best satisfaction
by setting three plants in a triangle
with a firm stake in the middle, 10
which the plants are drawn by an
encircling cord, repeating the tying
twice as the plants get taller. For the
sake of comparison occasionally put
only two plants TO a stake and now
and then only one. On good tomato
soil three plants with little prun-
ing. if necessary to a stake viii pro-
'duce more sham only two plants
would. From first to last in a GOOD
season these hills will yield two 70
three pecks of perfect fruit. 1t VIII
be a saving usually to pillow the soil
Thoroughly and put in the stakes De
fore the plants are set out, out IN
push the stalking can come a1ter the
setting out.

Bourne, of Newark. A song, Give to
the Winds Thy Fears, was sung, and
the Lords prayer and crusade psalm
repeated in concert, followed by the
pledge and motto. Mrs. A. Robert

and addresses of welcome, limited TO

following persons, who were seated on

There was something the matter
with the steering gear of j. B. Stevens
automobile last Monday morning, or
else the trouble was with the pilot,
for in front of the Bell building the
beautiful auto, loaded down like a
Santa Claus, ran willfuly into a white
horse and wagon. 1t happened that
Mayor Reed was standing by, and
rushing into the gutter grabbed the
frightened horse, who seemed more
afraid of the Mayor than the automo-
bile. At any rate, horrible ca
tastrophe was averted by the presence
of mind of Mayor Reed. 1t is lucky
the collision happened early in the
morning as no policemen were in sight

Suicide by Hanging.

James Wilson, hermit living in a
cabin in the Dismal" about half a
mile from the Brookside postotfice,
committed suicide by hanging in M
M. Comets barn last Monday night
Wilson was veteran of the Civil
War and was about 65 years of age.
Drink and increasing old age had not
only wrecked his body, but had also
impaired his mind as many had noticed
the past few day.
The inclement weather of last week
caused his rheumatism to bother him
more than usual, and he seemed very
respondent
He was found Tuesday morning by
George Smith, an employee of M. M.
Comet, as Smith was working about
the barn. No one saw Wilson enter
the barn, but it is supposed he went
there Monday night after dark The
body was cold when found, and Cor
oner Collins soon arrived and took the
body with him to Morristown, as Will
son has no relatives at present in this
place.

Made on the Premises.

The Morristown Candy Kitchen is
somewhat of an innovation in Norris
town. The candies are made on the
premises and anyone who desires is
invited to walk in and inspect the
kitchen and see just how the candies
are made. Everything about the
place is neat and clean, and when the
freshly made candies are turned out
they look sweet and inviting. They
have another attraction, the prices
have been cut almost in two. When
one is used to paying 30 cents per
pound it is somewhat Of a surprise to
find that the same thing can be pur-
chased for 20 cents.

citizens and the Board of Aldermen
he welcomed the women. He said
there were evils which should be dis
cussed and he was pleased to have
the union come here and discuss them.
President Arrowsmith of the Board
of Trade, complimented them.
The principal speech of the evening
was made by Rev. Anna II. Shaw, M.
D., of Philadeldhia, on the Temper
ance Problem" Miss Shaw is an elo-
quent speaker and she captivated the
audience. Her opinion that the re-
sponsibility of many young boys and
men taking downward course in life
was at the fathers knee instead of the
mothers.
Just let all the women take to
smoking cigarettes, said Miss Shaw,
and let the men stop, and then see if
you could get boy to smoke. Not
much. The boy wants to be a man,
to do what men do, and it's up to the
men to set the example to the boys. y
The speaker also emphasized the
fact that the women must do all they
can to get the men to live upright.
The liquor traffic, she said, the gov
ernment was responsible for, because
it legalized it, and the fight for the
w. G. It. U. to make was at the gov
ernment.

The first regular meeting of the
Supervising Principals Association of
Morris CONnty was held at the High
School building in this city Saturday
forenoon, October 16. There we're
nine principals in attendance and
County Superintendent W. B. Mat
thews was also present. No set pro-
gramme had been arranged and the
meeting took the form of round
table conference.
Numerous questions were brought
up which provoked lively and profit
able discussions. In answer to the
question raised by Principal d. B.
Evans, of Rockaway, concerning the
difficulty of grouping the work in rural
schools so that one teacher should be
able to handle eight grades, Principal
Ackerman, of Chatham, gave some
valuable suggestions on combining
grades in certain subjects, such as
history, geography and physiology.
The question of promotions was dis
cussed to a considerable length, re-
sulting IN general agreement with
the basis of promotion should be the
ability of the child to do the work of
the next grade, rather than his sue
cess in attaining a fixed standard of
proficiency in every subject that he
has studied in the previous grade.
Bookkeeping in the eighth grade
was the next topic considered. While
several of the principals we're opposed
to teaching this subject in the eighth
grade, superintendent Matthews de-
Tended the policy, basing his argument
on the fact that large majority of
pupils leave school without going on
with the higher grades, and these, he
said, should at least be familiar with
the elements of practical bookkeeping.
The subject of penmanship was very
thoroughly discussed, and some de-
cided opinions were expressed. The
charges made by the so-called business
world that the schools fail to teach
pupils to write were reviewed, and
the general opinion prevailed that
such charges were unfounded. How
ever, Superintendent Matthews seemed
inclined to support the business mans
proposition and emphasized the need
of better instruction in penmanship in
the schools.
Before adjourning, it was voted that
four meetings be held each year at
times and places to be appointed by
the President, Secretary and County
Superintendent, who should consti-
tute an executive committee. The
meeting was adjourned at 1890 p. m.

On Friday night the waters arose
so rapidly that houses were soon deep
in water, and guns were fired to call
assistance. The Passaic and the Rock
away which flows into it, never rose
so high in the memory of the oldest
inhabitant.
AS soon as daylight dawned neigh
bors went to help neighbors, and a
fleet of boats was soon on the river.
Horseneck bridge, save a little of the
center poles, was covered with water,
so that no vehicle could cross. On the
left the residence of Mr.. and Mrs
Oshorowitz was deep in the water, the
COWS and horses being up to their
necks. John e. Collerd and Charles
Kent brought boat to the rescue,
and in rescuing horse Mr.. Kent
nearly lost his life. Mr. Collerd took
the family to J. Konner's in his boat,
then he and Mr. Kent proceeded to
fix the COW in the dining room and
the horses in the parlor. The corn,
pumpkins and other produce were
carried away by the flood. A near
neighbor lost large quantity of pigs
and chickens. Messrs. Harry and
Wilbur Collerd were out early on
Saturday morning, and rescued Mrs.
Vanderhoof, whose house was flooded.
Pine Brook on Saturday was COM
pletely cut off from the outside world.
The bridges connecting Morris county
with Essex county were in state of
chaos, the planks floating in the
water, and the bridge near the post
office being held in its place by chains.
No butchers; no bakers; stores ran out
of groceries. Had it not been for
chickens which Mr.. w. O'Dowd had
dressed for the market many would
have gone without their Sunday din
ner.
Several houses near the postoffice
were deep in the water, and the ten
ants could only approach them by
boats. At this point good work was
done by several neighbors. The Cha
pin brothers with their boat released
the Gottschalk family from their
watery imprisonment in their hotel,
and did other services. Mr.. Speer's
family could only reach their home by
boat No mail nor papers reached us,
except a few papers brought by boat,
which found a ready sale.
On the other side of Hook mountain
near the Rockaway, Mr.. Lubchansky's
family was surrounded, and Mr.. Hal
prin with his wagon and team came to
the rescue of his relatives. They had
not got far from the house when the
horses sank in the soil and could not
move the wagon. There the people
stuck till Mr. G. Konner brought
boat and effected their rescue.
At Rockaway N eek Mr.. Sharkey had
to shelter his horses in r. Tomkins
barn, and to convey his pigs to the
same shelter. John TOmkins, who is
SO years old says that never in his
memory was the water so high.
On Sunday there was no service in
the church, Mr.. Apgar not having re-
turned. Numbers of people went
down to the bridge to see the milk
cans carried by boat to the Essex side.
On Monday evening the bridges
were somewhat in order, and the mail
came in by stage for the first time in
three days.

Flood at Milton.

The damage caused by the severe
rainstorm of October 7, and cannot
be estimated by statements Of loss
and wreckage. 1t is simply impossible
to form an estimate of the disaster
wrought in this section, by the mad,
rushing torrents of water.
On Wednesday, October 7, the rain
began with a drizzle, continuing with
the atmosphere becoming denser in
creasing it to heavier rain-the real
thing. 1t kept up steady downpour
all day, extending to the following
day with unceasing energy. The rivers
were Swelled by the gullies and brooks
reaching from the mountains and
hills, each carrying sediment of vari-
Gus kinds and small boulders down
into the valleys and disposed of it
there, leaving beautiful fields nothing
but rock beds, stumps and trash. The
rain continued with more force on Fri
day and it was then the rivers were
highest.
Following is brief mention of the
most important damages: New Mil
ton pond dam and corner OF bridge be-
low washed out; Longwood dam washed
out and pond consequently destroyed;
Petersburg bridge, by Chamberlain's
cider mill, torn so that one end of
bridge rests on the river bed; bridge at
Jackson Allison s held by chains with
foundation nearly washed away; bridge
below the Riggs pond with corner
washed out; two Hopewell bridges by
the old forge totally destroyed; several
bridges wrecked in Newfoundland so
that travel cannot be resumed for
days; bridge by Davenport's boarding
house at Morris Lake impossible;
Edison mines filled up and roads under
water to depth of two feet for about
two hundred yards; public highway
between Edison and Ogdensburg
washed for a distance Of a quarter of a
mile, comparing with the worst kind
of a mountain wool road; large bridge

along the tracks of the Lackawanna
Railroad near Morris Plains, with his
leg cut off. Coroner Collins was noti-

which passed through Morris Plains
shortly after midnight Saturday, and
had been drawn under the car wheels
and run over. He had ticket for Nor
ris Plains, and finding the train would
not stop there jumped off.
