of Unicorn root (HelO7ljdS Di0icd) which
is one of the chief ingredients of the uFa-
vorite Prescription
"a remedy which invariably acts as utter
Inc inVigorator makes for normal ac-
tivity of the entire reproductive system"
He continues sin HeloniaS we have medica-
ment which more fully answers the above
purposes than any other drug tCtth 1Chich am
acquainted In the treatment OF diseases pc
culiar to women it is seldom that case is
seen which does not present some indication
for this remedial agent" DR.. Fyfe further
says: "The following are among the leading
indications for HeloniaS Unicorn root. Pain
or aching in the back. with leucorrhoea
atomic (weak conditions of the reproductive

Savannah Justice, of the Peace Is Out

Savannah, Ga, Sept 22-For the
third time has Justice of the Peace
Isaac Nathans been indicted by the
grand jury of the superior court for
malpractice.
He takes his Indictment good natur-

these officers to base an indictment
on. He has served in that capacity
twice before, and had three justices
indicted and two convicted. This

PUBLIC OPINION.

July 8, 1906.
To Editor EVENING NEWS:
Please favor me by printing the
following, and no doubt you will fav-
or the fire department of the city, as
| think it is proper and right that
every one should know how a brother
fireman was used.
For instance, at a fire at the AS
phalt Works July 2, at 1880 a. M,
the members of Mcclellan and Lin
coin and Hook & Ladder companies
all responded and by roundabout
ways, on account of the distractions
in the direct way, we got there about
2 a. m. and itslooked as ii we were
welcome. Well, they loaded II en-
CINE on a fat car after a lot of
trouble and landed ms at the scene of
the conflagration and we worked like
Trojans until 1880 a. m. Monday
morning. Engine was pumping salt
water. About half a dozen Hungar-
ians carrying the supply to engine,
salt and fresh, as they did not know
the difference 1t would make to the
boiler. but we had to shut down a
dozen times and blow the boiler out
on account of the salt water. Also
their inability-to keep the engine sup
plied with any kind of water. They
seemed to think we ought to carry
n ourselves. but we didn't think so.
Perth Amboy evening news., 1906-07-11

| thought my men were doing enough
wading in asphalt to their ankles
without anything else, but anyhow
we did all in our, power to check the
flames and | thought the least we
could expect as volunteers that our
help would be appreciated, But they
seemed to think different according
to their idea. We are supposed to
stay there indefinitely without any
pay If so ordered by the millionaire
asphalt trust. We have all kinds of
trusts in Amboy, but we never had,
and | hope we will eve have an
other like the asphalt trust, as far as
the firemen are concerned. AS they
have done something that no other
concern in the history of the fire de-
partment ever thought of doing.
Now, whether this which / am
about to relate totyou was-done from
headquarters or from the local boss,
called first assistant manager, i do
not know.
In conclusion I will tell you the
cause of all this noise, as no doabt
you are anxious. 1. Patrick Rocks,
foreman of George b. Mcclellan En-
CINE No. 3, was also an employe of
the Barber Asphalt Works at the
time Of the fire. II had charge of the
fire as foreman until 10 80 a. m. In

THE DIFFERENCE.

In answering the attack on Col.
Fordyce that he voted for the bill to
allow farmers to shoot robins, which
the ring newspapers think offsets the
attack on Senator Jackson that he
smothered the pigeon bill, the New
ark Evening News says:
1.-THE NEWS has not studied up
Colonel Fordyce's record on the rob-
in, but it is willing to venture the as
sertion that nobody can bring proof
that he voted on any bird measure
Jackson may have been able to con-
scientiously approve of the bloody
butchery of pigeons, and so be above
criticism for voting against the bill
curbing that brutal sport, but that is
not the point raised against him a
this time. At the order of a boss
and that boss David Baird, Jackson
took the contract of killing the pig
con bill in committee. Under the
pressure of public sentiment, Jack
son admitted that he was helpless, as
he was forced to keep his pledge to
Boss Baird. This is a matter of rec
| ord, and it corresponds with Jack
sons record as to his s~ubserviency to
other bosses besides Baird. Jackson
helped out a powerful lobby, well
supplied with money, in the matter
/ of the pigeon bill, because he wasn't
a big enough man to stand alone.
Middlesex county is entitled to be
represented in the senate another

cowardice by putting the blame on a

LAST NIGHTS MEETING.

A deep impression was made upon
the vast throng which turned out to
hear the republican reformers in Will
der Hall last night. The thing that
seemed to force itself upon the minds
of the hearers was the earnestness
and the honesty of those who were
delivering athe message of freedom
from corporation control.
After hearing these men it be-
comes evident that they are not mere
ly a band of trouble makers going
about the state looking for personal
gain. They had facts and they pre-
sented them to prove what they had
to say.
They declared that the ring now
in control of all legislation at Tren-
ton was corrupt and they proved it.
They declared that the corporations
were behind the bosses and they
proved i. They stated q remedy and
i was the most simple imaginable.

Up to date the only answer to those
questions we have seen appeared in
Boss strong's organ Monday night.
This answer is as follows:

So"
Boss Strong is afraid to answer the
direct questions put to him, accusing
him of being a lobbyist for corpora
tons at Trenton. He ignores the
things the people want to know and
endeavors to cloud their minds with
personal attacks upon people who
have nothing to do with the issue.

WEDNESDAY, JULY II.
LOCAL OPTION THE SOLUTION

If any agitation is caused by the

to blame. The correct solution of
the liquor question is in local option.
There was such a bill before the leg
islature last year, but it was killed.
The republicans seemed to have been
afraid of it.
Local option means that every city,
borough and township in the state
shall have the privilege of deciding
for itself whether or not liquor shah
be sold within it's borders. This is
the only true method.
If the people of Jonesville do not
want the saloon, why force it upon
Hsnem because the people of Newark,
Jersey City and the other large
places do? Likewise If there are sec
tions where public sentiment is hot
against the liquor traffic the great.
majority of people in the larger pla-.
ces should not be made to go with
out merely to crafty some little
], bRrb in the country.
Every state should have local OPP
ton so that the people can decide for
themselves. There is nothing too
important to put directly in the hands
of the people. They are the ones
who should control this government
and every question can be entrusted
to them with safety. If not this
form of government is a failure. Lo-
cal option is the only solution to the
liquor problem.
