When any one has catarrh of the head
or throat they know ii. Shutting, sneez-
ing, coughing, splitting, eagging, chok-
ing-thefe are some of the symptoms.
When any one has catarrh of tho bron-
chial tubes they are not quite so apt to
recognize their trouble as ca'arrh, al
though there are great many people
who begin to appreciate the fact that ca
tarrh OF the bronchial tubes is sure to
create cough.
Catarrh produces symptoms according
to the place in the body where the ca
tarrh is located. Catarrh deranges the
function of any organ.
If thecatarrh Toe in the stomach it pro-
Guoes dyspepsia.

INSANE MAN
WAS KILLED
BY BEATING.

TRENTON, July 25:-The session
of the Assembly Investigating Com
mittee yesterday drew from DR.. John
Ward, medical director of the New
Jersey State Hospital for the Insane,
the information that Enoch e. Sill
vers, a well-known Trenton man, had
been beaten to death by attendants
in February, 1906, although the
crime had been carefully kept from
the public and the guilty nurses had
been allowed to escape unpunished.
He defended his part in the affair by
declaring that he had reported the
case to Judge G. D. w. Vroom, of this
city, president of the State Board of
Managers.
DR.. Ward testified that Silvers had
been punished" by w. G. Skinner
and Frank e. Singleton, nurses, on
February %, 1906, and had died
three days later as direct result of
the beating. Silvers had been in the
institution only a few weeks. His
wife was not notified until after he
was dead and no report of the assault
was made to the police.
The minutes of the managers COW
ering this case are to the effect that
Silvers' death was not due to the
beating.

pleased with the Ducker building, but
because of lack of funds they were
unable to- buy it, The building
committee was empowered to secure
the portable schools and have them
erected
The two buildings will be erected

the ground. Each building will COM
fortably seat forty-five pupils, and
will be 22 35 feet.
The balance of the $4,000 allowed
for the schools by the Board of Es-

ing.

AWARD CONTRACT FOR
PORTABLE SCHOOLS,

At special meeting of the Board
of Education held in the high school
last night the contract was awarded
for two portable school buildings to
be erected near schools Nos. and 6.
Bids for providing and erecting the
buildings were not advertised for, but
several estimates had been secured
by the building committee 1t was
decided to award the contract with
out advertising, as there are so few
companies in the portable school
business that it was decided it would
not be worth the trouble to adver-
tise
Two estimates were presented by
the building committee. One of them
was from the Ducker company and
the other was from the Springfield
Portable Construction Company, of
Springfield, Mass. The Ducker COM
pany wanted $500 for each portable
building. The estimate submitted by
the Springfield company for a SINH
lar building was $1,000, or $1,265
with vestibule.

Mayor Bollschweiler said this

over the place and see what the needs

When asked his opinion about
new hook and ladder truck the mayor
said that he could make no state
ment until after an interview with
Chief Mullen.
Chief Mullen says that he does not
like to take two companies away from
the city at one time, but it is neces-
sary to do so, as 1900 feet of hose
are required, and each company car
ries only 500 feet.
The two companies will leave
their houses for the test at $50
o'clock. The chief will leave about
an hour earlier. Lincoln Engine
