Ida Cushing's Friday afternoon
was well attended. About thirty
ladies were present. The program
was well carried out. The topic,
"Home and Homemakers," was a
practical subject. Several good
articles were read, but were spar
ingly discussed. Miss Hazel Rus
sell gave a very pretty recitation.
Mrs. Sutor read program for next
meeting. Motherhood" will be
the theme, with a paper on

Dawson Carries Ohio County.

The fierce battle fought for the
delegation from Wheeling and
Ohio county last Saturday result
ed in Dawson getting 81 dele
gates and Teter 10. This will no
doubt result in Dawson securing
the nomination for Governor on
the Republican ticket. Tax re-
form is certainly coming. 1t
means no taxes on land or prop
erty (personal) and no hardship
on the coal, gas, oil and railroad
companies. The Democrats will
nominate a tax reformer, so, no
difference who wins, we will have
the old way of collecting taxes
abolished in this State.

Cigar Factory.

We were reliably Informed to-
day that a cigar factory would be
opened in this city in the very
near future. Clarksburg capital
lists are said to be behind the pro-
ject. The factory will be located
in the Jones building, on Dia-
mond Square, which will make a
very suitable place for it, as the
room is large and centrally 10
Gated. The enterprise is one that
has long been needed here, and
is certain to prove financial
success if properly managed.

In this list is included all the
counties that have acted, but of
these the proceedings in Clay,
Mineral, Mercer, Nicholas and
Upshur were held without proper
notice. and new conventions will
be held in most of them. Mr..
Dawson believes the foregoing is
conservative estimate, and that
he has in fact more delegates than
are claimed. For instance. he has
advices from Jefferson. that he
has part of that delegation, and
from Randolph that more than
half the delegates are for him,
and that the sentiment of the Re-
publicans of the county is very
largely in his favor.

VANCAMP OUT ON BAIL

There were eighteen indict-
ments found at the present term
of court. Fifteen of them were
for misdemeanors and three fell
onies, one for burglary, one for
embezzlement and the other for
murder against Mr.. VanCamp.
Most of the civil cases have
been continued. This morning
the court began the trial of the
case of Charley Cox against Eliza
beth Wood. There was an oil well
drilled on the Woods land, near
the graveyard, which Cox now
claims is on a piece of land he
owns.

After the grand jury returned
an Indictment against Franklin
VanCamp for shooting P. B. Low
ry, he appeared in court in person
and by his attorney entered plea
of not guilty and was allowed to
go home after giving a bond in
the sum of $3,OOO., with his father,
Bert VanCamp, as surety, for his
appearance at the August term of
court. The Judge by this act very
clearly indicates that he does not
think the defendant is guilty OF
first degree murder, nor does any
body else who has read the evil
dence in the case.

According To Statement Dawson
Is Way in the Lead.

Hon. VIM. NJ. 0. Dawson has
been actively campaigning for the
past week. There is great anxiety
among the friends of Mr.. Dawson
as to what he claims to be the re-
suit of the contest up to the pres
ent time in the matter of delegates
already selected.
There will be 795 delegates in
the Republican State Nominating
convention that meets in Wheel
ing on Jluy II, of which 1913 are
necessary to nominate. Mr.. Daw-
son has prepared the following
estimate of the action of the coun-
tiar So for.

SALOONS CLOSED

Mayor Kirkland should be en-
couraged in this act. He is max
ing splendid Mayor, and the
longer he remains in office the bet
ter the public will like his admin
istration. The council should sup
port him by promptly revoking
all licenses to parties who violate
the laws of the city. That will
have a healthy effect on illegal
whiskey selling.

Yesterday, so far as yeu could
judge, the saloons were closed ia
this city. Some went so far as to
Eemove all screens and so left the
bar open to the public for all to
see they were not busy in that
saloon.
Of course, there may have been
saloon men who sold in some other
way, but it was very quiet, if sold
at all.

Referred the Petition for
First Ward School.
WILL MEET SHORTLY.
Delegates from the the Chamber of Com
merce will Attend the Meeting and an
Effort will be Made to Have The Neces-
sary Money Raised 10 Purchase the
Lot

The petition for the erection OF

sented to the Board of Education last
night. 1t bore nearly 400 signatures.
1t was referred to the building COM

from the Chamber of Commerce will
also be present at the meeting. which
will probably be held some night
next week.
After the motion to refer the petit
ton had been passed, committee
sent by the Chamber Of Commerce,
which was in session at the same
time, entered the room. The members
of this committee were e. W. Barnes,
DR.. f. w. Kiuchel and G. W. Yepsen.
When given the floor, each of the
members spoke in turn. They advanced
two arguments, one that Of the privi-
lege of the first ward to have n school,
and also tho matter of convenience to
the pupils. The asked for meeting
with the board in regard to this
matter.
Mayor Seaman, who was present,

than that he thought the board had
taken the right action. 4 dbcrintend-
ent Shull said there were about 400
children IN the first ward, south of

Chamber Of Commerce Had In
teresting Talk on The Sub
jeCt Last Night.
ALDER MEN S VIEWS
They Give Their Ideas on the Matte r
and Asked for Some Public Opinions,
but no One Seemed Inclined to Speak on
the Matter Disadvantages Of the Ma
cadam Material

An interesting discussion Oh the
improvements Of the streets took place
at the meeting of the Chamber OF
Commerce last night. Aldermen
Pfeiffer and Stacey were present and
it became known that there was
difference of opinion between them rs
to the recent movement to pave every
unimproved street in the city with
macadam. Mr. Stacey said that while
hs was for improvements, he was
afraid that by paving every street
with macadam it would delav more
permanent improvement. He argued
that when property owners saw ma
cadam in front Of their property they
would consider it good enough and
they would not petition for the more
permanent kind OF pavement. At the
same time, Mr.. Stacey said he was
with the majority for improvement.
Mr. Pfeiffer said that, personally,
lie was opposed to macadam and would
dislike to see tnat material go down
on any of the principal streets. AT
the same time, he declared, the cry
ing need of Perth Amboy was better
streets and he felt that if macadam
was not put down now, many of the
streets would remain in their present
state for years and would continue to
disgrace the city He felt that ma
nadam was better than nothing and it
would be hard to discriminate be-
tween streets to put it down so al.
streets were ordered paved
The aldermen asked for some views
of the members present, but no one
was inclined to talk on the subject.
All present could see the reason on
both sides and realized what knotty
problem it presented. The aldermen
were left to solve it themselves.

Board Education Declares the Limit Has Been Reached With Thomas qe
Regards The Supports 10 His Guiding Which Now the
School House GroundsBoard Hears The Report of The City
Superintendent Adopts Suggestions adon Line of Repairs

Papers will shortly be filed in q
suit brought by the Board of Educa-
tion against Thomas Lingle for dam
ages for trespass. In addition, there
will be filed bill in chancery to COM
pei Mr.. Lingle to remove the poles
supporting the walls of his machine
shop, at q King street, from the girls
playground in the rear of school No.
l. The poles have been standing for
long time and, where at first there
was but one or two, there are now
several,
The board has repeatedly asked
and warned MI. Lingle to remove the
poles but no heed has been given to
the demands. The poles are an OBJ
struction to the school grounds, it is
declared, detracting greatly from the
appearance OF the yard and are also
n menace. In addition the poles are
there contrary to the desires and com.
mands of the School Board. At last
nights meeting of the toard, the
clerk read q letter from Mr.. Linglc,
dated February II, promising to re-
move the posts from the yard as soon
as the frost was out of the ground
sufficiently for him to strengthen the
walls of his building. This letter
was written two months ago and yet
nothing has been zone towards the
fulfilment Ct the promise contained
therein. Just rs Clerk Colyer was
about to read q motion in writing to
the effect that the board should enter
suit against Mr., Lingle, Commissioners
j. L. Crowell said no thought the
board should take SO nc legal action.
The motion in writing was adopted
and an attorney will be secured and
action begun without delay.
1t was reported at the meeting last
night, that the floor in the attic of
school No. has settled three inches.
The building committee was given
power to remedy this condition.
Negotiations for the lot, on which
to erect the addition to school No. 4,
arc pending, but are expected to be
closed in a short time. The plans for
the addition, as prepared by J. X.
Jensen, were on exhibition at the
meeting last night. The extension
will be of brick and will contain four
rooms, two on the first and two on
the second flooi.
