NO TROUBLE
IN OCEAN COUNTY.

United States Senator John Kean
was q visitor to the Republican State
committees headquarters, at Broad
and Bank streets, Newark, Monday.
The Senator was very confident of
the success of heRepublican ticket in
the State and country. He said he
did not think that the senatorial trou-
bles in Bergen, Ocean and Atlantic
would have any disastrous effect OH
the Republican pluralities in those
counties. 1t had been reported, lie
said, that he was taking a part in the
senatorial lights in the three counties
named, but such was not the case, and
he declared that he was not interior
ing in the matter one way or another.
With Senator Kean was State
Senator Joseph Gross, of Union, whom
some people would like to see the
president of the next senate. MI.
Gross, like Mr.sKean, was confident
of Republican success all along the
line in November. He said there was
no trouble among the Republicans Of
Union, and that county would be
found in the Republican column by n
handsome majority.

SIXTEEN YEARS AGO..
Account of the Effort Made then
to Get a Public BuiIding.Here.

We print below a clipping from the
New York Evening Post Of June =,
1888, which is not without timely in
terest as a bit of "anoient history:"
THE PROPOSED PUBLIC BUILD
ING IN PERTH AMBOY.
Not long since a petition asking
Congress for an appropriation of $780,, :
900 for a public building in Perth
Amboy, N. j., was circulated there
and received many signatures. 1t was
recently approved by the common
council, and was taken to Washington
last evening by a committee consist
ing of d. O. Chase, ex-Sheriff Patrick
Oonvery, James Donnelly, Superin-
tendent of the Lehigh Valley railroad,
e. G. Gone, president of the United
Refiners' Export Oil Company, and
the Rev. Aaron Peok. The proposed
site Of the desired bhiiding is a lot 100
feetssquare, at the corner of High and
Centre streets, which has been owned
by the government for the past twenty
five years, sbut never utilized. An ap-
preparation of sS5, 900 was onc made
by Congress for Ia custom-house and
post office to be built upon it, but al
though plans were submitted, tine
work was never begun, and the money
lapsed into the treasury again. The
growing Importance of Perth Amboy
rs a port OF entry and in population
calls for increased postal n customs
facilities. Hence it is hoped that the
petition to Congress may be answered
fayOrably.

ko, also coiore1. of "a Catharine street.

clared that Patchiko had broken the
lock of a new trunk which he mad
purchased, and that he wished to have
the trunk repaired before he left the
house. The court advised Davis to
leave, with his trunk, and he promised
to do SO.

NOT CAUSED BY GERMS.
No Dyspepsia Microhe. One Disease That
Has NO Bacillus. /

1t really seems refreshing in these days
of germs and microbes to know that
there is one disease at least where a
germacide does not have TO be used to
cure it.
Dyspepsia is a plain, ordinary, com
mon, miserable disease that has all kinds
Of causes except q germ. To cure It, the
inflamed and irritaiod organs should DO
relieved for a time of part of their work.
Mi -on-a, the one guaranteed cure for
dyspepsia, meets these conditions and al
so gives strength and tone to the whole
system.
A few days treatment will show the
great good Mi-o-na can do and its use for
a reasonable length, of time will result IN
a complete cure. No one should hesitate
trying this remedy. 1t is certain to BIO
successful in curing dyspepsia and etomv
ach troubles as anything can be. A two
weeks treatment costs but so cent?.
Mi-o-na is sold by &. A. Sexton on the
fairest plan imagiEa able, with am absolute
guarantee to refund the money in case it
does not cure. Z. A. Sexton will sell
you Mi-on-a on trial with the positive
understanding that il it does not give
satisfaction the money is to be returned
without question. A guarantee like this
cannot fail to inspire confidence. The
purchaser rum no risk whatever.

Sam Jones, the evangelist, IS at present in Texas, and writing to a frierd in Atlanta, Georgia. he gave expression to the following opinion: "I find Texas is in favor of digging the canal. If l hear things right in Texas, Bailey's and Culberson's names are Den his if they help to defeat the Pan- anna project, for, repeat the fact, the south would rather have the Panama canal than q score of democratic presidents, and they will receive more good from the canal than they will at the hands of a hundred dem- ocratic presidents. Really, the business interests of this coun- try are opposed to a demo- cratic victory. anyway. Demo- crats seem to have sense enough to run states and cities, but the national government seems to be too big for them to run. Texas, like all the southern states, wants the canal, and if tiie democrats want to act the fool again, let them make this an issue in the coming campaign. Then can beat them with republican waller dog"
