motion to dispose of it's stock in the

q SIX it to build the bridge itself.S
The council has taken the Eproper
legal stand in this matter and 10
firmly backed by the law. If the law
was otherwis why did not South AM
boy fill in the approach on their side?
There is neither law, sense or justice
in the position Of the county and If
it comes to a legal fight there is no
doubt but that the county will finish
the bridge and BIO made to do what
toe law says they must do. The APP
proaoh on the south side was filled in
by the county ana there is no differ
ence in the law as to the plain duty
of the county as TO building the APP
preach to this bridge on either the
south or north side. The oity's stand
in this controversy ia the proper one.

the large amount of the county tax it
pays, without increasing the burdens
of the taxpayers by doing countywork
for which there is no sanction in law
and clearly beyond the power of the

was a big array of lawyers present at the
trial. Miss Mary Steele, a well known
woman lawyer, appeared as leading
counsel for the society. She was OPP
posed by two of the most talented law
yers of the Lehigh alley legal corps. She
proved to be more than a match for her
male opponents, and as she succeeded in
having the evidence Of a number of the
most important witnesses Of the defence
excluded by the court of legal technicali-
ties. The society adduced evidence to
show that the cattle in the car had been
left without food or water for twenty
eight hours in transit.

The Editors wife


Letter from an Illinois Newspaper
Man that Is Well Worth Reading.
AS a usual thing editors save the good
things for the columns Of their own
newspapers, but the following letter
from S. H. Duncan. editor of the Sea-
ton. ILL.,, Independent, shows that there
is at least one editor who wants to help
others. He writes as follows:
ITO the Editor of the Perth Amboy
Evening News!'
/ wish you would print the following
and thus help me to do a kindness to
your readers. My wife has been a great
Sufferer with stomach troubles for the
past four years, and the last two years
practically an invalid. Nothing seemed
to help her until / procured a box of
Mi-o-na, natures cure for dyspepsia.
This rave her so much relief that she
continued using the remedy until now
she enjoys her meals, is relieved from
all pain in her stomach and has in
creased in flesh.
| hope you will publish this letter, for
| think there is nc remedy for stomach
trouble equal to Mona, and the more
wide spread its use becomes, the more
good will be done to humanity.
S. H. DUNCAN,
Editor of Independent
Mr.. C. A. Sexton has the local agency
for Mona and his faith in it's merits
equals Editor Duncan's. He in fact,
offers to pay for Mi-o-na himself in
any case where it does hot give salts
faction. No stronger endorsement of
the merits of the remedy can be given
than this, that a local drug firm is
willing to sell a medicine OH their own
guarantee to refund the money if it does
not cure stomach troubles and increase
flesh.
