Sheriff Jacob Dilts has brought suit
against Mr.. Alex. b. Allen for libel
The suit is based upon an affidavit
which Mr.. Allen made in order to OBJ
tain struck jury in the trial of suit
to recover money said TO be due the
county which was to the effect that
Mr.. DIlts was not in his opinion u
proper person to draw the jury.
1t is rather difficult to understand
how Mr.. DiIts reputation conld have
been hurt much more than it was by
the number of Illegal bills which he
put i'll against the county. Mr.. Allen
is probably the person most RESPONSE
bic for bringing before the public the
fact that the sheriff participated in
the tramp scheme, oyercharged for
the board Of prisoners, duplicated his
char ges &c, and is also largely re-
sponsible for the fact thpt the sheriff
refunded S5lj of illegal fees and may
be obliged to refund further sums
The real injury to his reputation con
sists in the existence of these facts

To the Voters of LambertrilIe:

Learning that reports are being cir
culated TO the effect that my election
will mean the closing of some of our
Hotels of this City which now hold
a license and that all sorts of calami-
ties are liable to take place, Ne. 1t is
not necessary for me to take the time
to deny such silly reports among our
i citizens where | am known person
/ ally, hnt there may he others who not
i knowing me SO Wei may have some
j doubts as to my willingness or ability
to carry out what ! say, and to these
i persons in particular desire to state
that all stories of this kind are false
in every particular and are traceahle
to one aud the same source and are
circulated for the purpose only of
bolstering up an issue that is losing
grand, with the idea of drawing votes
away from this movement
My letter of acceptance previously
published in this journal, was very
explicit and refutes anything of this
kind, but to make the matter still
palmer, if possible, l will add that my
policy, if elected will he to vote fer
the rejection OF one license. previous
~ specified in letter above referred to
and further to vote against any in-
crease in the number of licenses be
yuud the number already in existence,
no matter whether the application be
for II Hotel, Saloon or Wholesale
Place
1t is also stated by the same author
ity that am simply waging person
nj fight which is also circulated for
the same purpose, and has no truth
whatever to back il mp and which
most emphatically deny, and to clinch
this statement i'll the fewest words
possible will state that should be
elected, and the party whose name is
most frequently mentioned in this
connection, apply for license for any
of the Hotels already licensed, know
of no reason why | would not vote
for him as readily rs any other appli-
cant.
1t is the increase in the number of
licenses that | aim to hold i'll check
aud not the man in any case.
Yours respectfully.

read the platformt for th-u selves can
readily observe that the op'y Grand
Jury reflected upon was the one
which was drawn with II We y of hear
ing evidence relating to tue grating
of officials.
As to them, majority refused to

majority that is open TO e ,lcism. 1t
may have been that the, could not
have indicted any oncm,s without
including Sheriff DiIts himself who
had duplicated his charges tor attend
ing court, having charged for twelve
days twice and sworn to the correct
ness of his bills, and had retained
considerable money beloneiug to the
county, but that is no eN't~c. He is
no betterthan any one q. So, when it
comes to that sort of hu Tess.

would be utterly futile. The danger
OF such situation is obvious and Ger
tainly justities all that was SAID in the

A kindergarten for LambertyiIIe.

During the Spring of 1906 there will
be started in Lambertville a Kinder
garten, which, it is hoped, may some
day become a part of the public school
system and a free institution. For
the first year of its existence two
terms of six or eight weeks have been
thought bes t; these will be arranged
to convene at times of the year when
weather conditions are most favorable.
The object Of this school is the play
training of children between the ages
of three and six years, and for this
two honrs will be given each day for
five days in each week A sufficient
enrolment for operation, suitable
centrally located room aud the ser
vices of peculiarly we'll fitted teacher
have been secured. The list of pupils
will be added to in case any enrolled
child fails to appear or if II shall be
deemed best to increase the number
after the school is started. These
possibilities have led the Management
to solicit applications for membership
in any family where no opportunity to
Join has been extended. The weekly
charge is small and will be reduced, if
possible, when the class has been thor
oughly established. The Manage
ment, then, hereby solicit applications
but reserve the right to reject any or
all applying. These applications
must be made III writing and must
state age of child to be sent. As it
will be necessary to furnish addition
al funds in excess of the income
from tuition fees, the Management
also solicit aid from any who may
consider this worthy institution.

Rev. H. A. MacKubbin,
Dear Sir.


Dear Sir:
am glad to learn that you, with
others, are seeking to promote a
movement having for its object the
deliversnee of our city from DONNA
tion that tends to its injury.
For long while it has been quite
evident that nominations to import
ant offices by both SO called "poht-
zeal parties, have been controlled
largely 10y interests that work ruin
and destruction among our people.
and that many of orr prominent citi-
zens either actively aid to perpetuate
things, or tamely submit to 1t.
1t is sad when public affairs are
controlled for the purpose of promot-
ing any private interests, but infinite
/ ly SO when that interest is one that
tends to the ruin of the highest well
fare of the people.
This interest seems to have gained
control of our municipal and material
affairs, our schools, and perhaps
through the self interest or apathy of
their members, even our churches.
1t is pitiful to see 50 many of our
people yielding to this domination.
1t is not question of party There
is no political question involved.
Both SO called political parties are
infected aud We are fast approaching
a condition of ruin of the morals and
every material interest of our City.
know of no remedy for such II
state Of affairs but the recognition, by
every one, Of the high principles of
morality and religion, aud it there
fore seems eminently proper that the
ministers and professors of religion
should lift their voices in no uucer-
tain way i'll protest.
1t is a source of great regret to me
that | am no longer physically able
to engage actively in such movement,
but wish to say that it has my sincere
sympathy aud hopes aud prayers for
its success
