Deer killed by Dogs.

When the workmen arrived at Cedar
Court last Tuesday it was discovered
that two dogs, at least, were in the
deer park. Further investigation
showed nine of the deer were already
dead and Others injured. The dogs
were shot at once and two or three
others outside of the fence ran away.
One Of the injured deer died on We'd
nesday. The owner of the dogs Is
not positively known as yet, but the
dogs were recognized as a pair Of
worthless mongrels often seen parad-
ing around town in the wake OF a junk
wagon belonging on Voter street.
Two freehoIders from Morris township
surveyed the animals on Wednesday,
and claim will probably be made
against the township underth domes-
tic animals act. a deer generally is
not regarded as domestic animal, Of
course, but these were tame, kept in
a well-incloscd deer park some Of
them. at least, pets Of the household.

Mrs. Herman d. Moller, about thirty
years old, Of Dover, died Sunday night
from injuries which she received in
the afternoon by being run over by an
automobile driven by Thomas Bright,
proprietor of the Woodport Hotel,
Lake Hopatcong.
Mr.. and Mrs. Moller were out driv-
ing and when near the Mt Pleasant
mine saw an automobile coming along.
Mr.. Moller stopped his horse and the
automobilist also stopped his car. In
the car were Mr.. Bright and his son.
On receiving a signal to go ahead,
Mr. Bright started his car forward.
Just as the automobile got near the
carriage Mrs. Moller, evidently fright
ened by the actions Of the horse, jump
ed out and landed directly in front OF
the machine.
Mr.. Bright made desperate efforts
to stop the car, but it felled the wo-
man, and. Two OF the wheels passed
across her body. She was picked up
in an unconscious condition and taken
to her home, where it was found that
her hip and two ribs were broken. She

The Lauter Piano

We give everybody the oppor-
tunity to see the Lauter Piano in course
of construction in our factory because
we have everything to gain by doing
so. We firmly believe that we stand
alone among all the piano manufac-
turers Of this country in the carefulness
and exquisite workmanship of our
products. This may seem an exag-
geration, but it is not only our own
opinion but that of numerous experts
who have visited our plant, and have
investigated carefully for themselves.
The Lauter Piano is made along
lines that result in an instrument that
is faultless as regards construction, and
delightful in quality Of tone. We try
to produce a piano that is perfect in
every detail, and we never for an in
stant allow our enthusiasm for fine
workmanship to grow cold. We pride
ourselves on the quality Of our work.
If a better piano were possible, rest
assured we would make it.
Because. we have nothing to con-
ceal, but have everything to gain BY
investigation, we invite you to visit
our factory, and to enter every depart
ment. We like people to see for
themselves the processes BY which the
Lauter Piano is brought to perfection,
through which the instrument has
come to be accepted by competent
critics as of the highest standard Of ex-
cellence. We are always pleased to
have visitors, and constantly encourage
scrutiny.

A TERRIBLE CALAMITY.
San Francisco and Other Cities In Cali
fornia Destroyed by an Earthquake.

San Francisco and Other Cities In Cali
fornia Destroyed by an Earthquake.
What promises to be the greatest
earthquake disaster of modern times
occurred in California early last We'd
nesday morning. A large number of
buildings in San Francisco were de-
stroyed and fires broke out which ow-
ing to the water mains being broken,
is still raging and the entire city is
apparently doomed to destruction.
The loss OF life it is impossibleto COM
pute as yet but it will probably run in
to the thousands. A number of other
cities in the State we're also greatly
damaged by the earthquake and fires
and many people are homeless. The
loss of property will run over one hum
dred million dollars. The seismic dis
turbances were noticeable in all parts
of the world. but the only damage so
far reported is along the Pacific coast.
Already relief for the sufferers has
begun to flow in. Congress has voted
one million dollars, New York city has
subscribed half million, and all over
the country appeals for help are being
made.
Governor Stokes has issued pro-
clamation calling upon the people Of
the State to contribute literally for
the purpose, and Mayor Reed makes
the following appeal
To the People Of Morristown:-
Deeming 1t fit and proper that some
substantial expression Of our Sympa-
thy for our sister city of San Francis
co in the overwhelming calamity that
has visited it should be given, we
might, in our security, contribute,
from our abundance, TO it's necessities.
Contributions will be received by
Edward A. Quayle,
Thomas w. Cauldwell,
George G. Smith,
who have consented to act as a COM
mittee.

Pierre, was in the city this morning
with pair of carrier pigeons owned by
his son. He let them go at S:29 this
morning to go TO Pierre, their home.
