An Ola Lady Seriously Hurt
/Ou Tuesday morning Mrs Mar,
baret IIiner who, for the past two
years has been making her home
with her son, Ar Lee Hiner, near
Monterey, because of the sudden
slaming Of the door in which she
was standing, was thrown down
the steps to The ground. a distance
of two feet, and had her arm broB
zen and hip badly bruised. Drs.
>Chas b Fox and K Fl Trim BILE were
called to set the broken limb and
the patient, after the extreme sui
fering produced by tie shock, is
resting comparatively comfortable
The injury to her hip, though not
fractured as frst Thought, proves
more painful than the broken arm
Mrs Iiiner is very large woman
Weighing about two hundred
pounds, and is rs years of age yet,
up to tile time Of her accident had
led an active life, and enjoyed good
health.
Mr liners troubles have not
come single handed this winter.
Measles went through his family
first leaving his wife in delicate
health, and tie youngest child is
now seriously i'll because Of lung
trouble resulting from measles.
Mrs lee Hiner has lately grown
much stronger.

THE Most FATAL DISEASE

Kidney complaint kills more
people than any other disease. This
is due to the fact that it is so insid-

kinney trouble.
Kidney trouble causes quick or unsteady
heart beats, and makes one feel as though
they had heart trouble, because the heart is
over-working in pumping thick, kidney
poisoned blood through veins and arteries.
1t used TO be considered that only urinary
troubles were to be traced to the kidneys
but now modern science proves that nearly
all constitutional diseases have their begin
ming in kidney trouble.

by first doctoring your kidneys. The mild

Grand Jury.

Shortly before one o'clock this morn
ing Patrolman James Reddy of the Sew
enth street station, while trying doors
on his post on Grove street, between
Fourth street and Pavonia avenue,
found the hall door of No. 1856 Grove
street open. He had just tried the door
of Edward Preiss's cigar store ON the
first floor of the building. He went to
the rear hallway door to try it and
heard a scuffling noise on the stairway
leading to the cellar. He asked who
was there and received no response.
Reddy went to the front door and
blew a call whistle. Two young men
passing responded and Patrolmen Har-
ris and Lyons soon rushed up. The two
policemen guarded the entrances while
Reddy, with his hand electric lamp
flashing and with a drawn revolver, fol-
lowed by the two young men who re-
sponded to his call, descended into the
cellar. There, crouching in a corner
were found Albert Nelson, seventeen
years old, of No. SO Morris street, and
Frank Kuhne, alias Joseph Gallagher,
nineteen years old, of No. 1888 Wayne
street When searched at the Seventh
street station number of keys and
candles were found in their possession.

FRIENDS OF THE PIGEONS.

The bill to prohibit shooting of live
pigeons at traps is now in the hands of
the Assembly Fish and Game Commit
tee, Messrs. T. B. Gibbs, T. G. Elvins,
T. e. Hunt, e. III. Loveridge, and A.
Kaiser. New Jersey is the only State
in which this cruel sport is permitted.
Concerning the effort to suppress it En-
nest Thompson Seton writes as follows
to the humane societies of the State:
Il am cordially in sympathy with your
effort to abolish the senselesss and brutal
sport of shooting live pigeons from traps.
"Not one Of the reasons that might be
brought forward in favor Of sport applies
to trap shooting.
Il sincerely hope you will succeed in
putting stop to it, as much for the
shooters sake as for the birds'.'

Were Made Yester
day.
OPPOSITION VERY STRONG
Especial to .'rhe Jersey city News.'Y

Especial to 1.-THE Jersey City Nsws")
TRENTON, March 2, 1904.-There
was a prolonged hearing before the
House judiciary committee yesterday on
the Governors billboard bill' during
the noon recess.
The Assembly Chamber was as crowd
ed as if the House was in actual session
and as those interested financially were
all business men, they proceeded with
their knocks in a business-like manner
and let no time go to waste.
l. H. Robbins, of the Bill Posting and
Sign Company of Atlantic City, made
the principal attack on the measure.
''Under this provision" said he, "a
bill board no bigger than boys slate
would be taxed IS every year, and a
billboard as big as the four sides of
house, 2Ox30 feet, would have to pay
a tax of $4,000 annually, while if a sa-
ises it would not cost more than $3.50 to
$500 year.
''A billboard the size of that is found
in front of a theatre would be taxed
$100 a year and doctor or lawyers
sign would cost 80 a year"
1t was said that the average billboard
along the railroads cost the advertiser
or advertising agent $50, and of this
$40 was paid to the owner of the proper
ty as rental, $25 went for lumber and
the rest of the $50 went to the carpen-
ters and painters.
There were several manufacturers
from Jersey City and Newark and other
manufacturing centres who opposed the
passage of the bill and spoke in favor of
the boards that are an eyesore to those
of aesthetic taste.
One manufacturer said:-"In coming
from Jersey City this morning my eyes
were greatly annoyed by the sight of the
long string after string of freight cars
that stood along the sidings, and l
found that there was more of the view
of the beautiful scenery along the rail
road obstructed by these freight cars
than than by the bill boards.
II appreciate the fact that the freight
cars are necessity, and | am equally
aware of the fact that these bill boards
are necessity to us.
1--WE must advertise, and while we
utilize the space of newspaper and ma
gazine columns we also need to avail
ourselves of every possible legitimate
way to make our goods known to the
public
II am not blind to the fact that a
bill board might obstruct the view of
passenger on the railroads, but / must
confess that the most of the bill boards
along the railway lines between Jersey
City and Trenton obstruct more that is
not beautiful than otherwise"
Another manufacturer said:-"If you
must take the boards down send the
police or military authorities out and
demoIish them, but don't tax US out of
business
Mr.. Colby announced that the COM
mittee would hear the arguments for
the gmeasure, but meme were offered.
