New Game Commission

Governor Stokes has selected the four
men whom he will name as the new
Fish and Game Commission. They are
Benedict G Kuser, of Trenton; Simeon
II. Rollison, of West Orange; William
A. Logue, of Cumberland county, and
Percival Christie, OF Hunterdon county.
Kuser and Christie are Republicans
and the two others are Democrats, Mr..
Logue is a member Of the present COM
mission, having been appointed recently,
and did not i'll any way figure in the i'll
vestigation which brought about the
passage of the bill which legislates the
old commission out of office. 1t is quite
likely that Mr.. Kuser will be made
president of the board. A new law that
will go into effect with the creation of
the new commission provides that all
fines for violations of the game law
shall go into the State Treasury instead
OF to the board, as heretofore.

Haddon Avenue Must Go

Trains began running over the east
bound track of the elevated railroad Of
the Pennsylvania Railroad in Camden on
Sunday. The first train left the Federal
street terminal for Burlington at 1.3S
O'Clock in the afternoon.
This means that the Haddon avenu
station has seen its last day. 1t will be
RACED to make way for the Improvements
the Pennsylvania is making in that local
ity. AS it has been declared a physical
impossibility to have a station at that
point hundreds of patrons of the road will
have to content themselves with going
all the way to the terminal. West-bound
trains have been using the elevated
tracks for several weeks. The only
grade crossings in Camden at present are
those situated along Seventh street,
where the electric trains pass.

4 Eapital D Fott

Ofteii comments have arisen as to the
use OF a capitol SD" in connection with
the title of Fort Dupont, while the
email ''d'' is used when the prominent
family of dupont is quoted in print.
The reason is that a military ukase
makes the distinction; for on July 10
1899, Secretary Of Wal R.. A. Alger is
sued all order stating that "By direc-
ton of the President, the Battery at
Delaware City, Delaware, is named in
honor of the late Rear Admiral Samuel
F. Dupont, United States Navy" In
all subsequent orders from the War De-
partment and in all Acts of Congress,
in relation to the Post, it is referred to
with a capital 3D." The first a%ppropria-
tien for this Post was made by Congress
in 1870, and was for the sum of $50, 600
"for a new fort opposite Fort Delaware,
on the Delaware shore"

Dislike Solicitors Law

When Prosecutor L. J. R. Brown, as
solicitor for Dover township, advised
the township Committee that its men,
bers could not under the present town
ship act draw pay for overseeing road
work the committee got busy and re-
moved Mr.. Brown from office.

Lakewood Township Committee who
are under Indictment by the Ocean Coun-
ty Grand Jury for paying themselves to
oversee road work, and Prosecutor
Brown, in his official capacity, must
prosecute these indictments.
Mr.. Brown is the third LAWYER who
as solicitor for the township advised the
committee that it could not legally
have pay for this work, and he is also
the third solicitor to walk out of office.
The others were former Judge A. C
Martin and L. W.. Carmichael, leading
members OF the Ocean County bar.
Solicitor Brown advised the committee
that its members could no charge So pc,
per day for overseeing road work; that
they must not pay out bills for road O,
other work without sworn vouchers. and
had insisted that other methods in vogue
in transacting Dover township bushes.
for the last 20 years or so should b.
changed to conform to law. The com
mittee recently agreed between themsel
YES that they should oversee road work
and announced that they also resumed
the practice of paying bills upon til,
affidavit of a member of the committe,
instead of the man to whom the none,
was owed.

Death at GoIdroad.

Last Sunday evening Miss Tillie Lavagnino, one of the most estimable young ladies of Goldroad, died at the home of her parents in that place, death being caused by severe attack of tonsilitis. The young lady had been i'll but short time and she was apparently on the road to recovery when the end came with a suddenness that shocked the entire community. The body was taken to Kingman where it was prepared for shipment to the old home near Stockton, California. Seven young men from Goldroad came to Kingman to act as pallbearers, and to extend aid to the bereaved parents. The remains were accompanied to their last resting place by the father of deceased, while the mother . mained at Goldroad to care for another child seriously ill with scarlet or spotted fever.

Cribbing News.

During the past year the small daily newspapers of the coast have adopted the system of cribbing all the news possible from exchanges and giving it to their readers as their own produc- tions. In Arizona there are few of the old school newspaper men that be- lieve in giving credit for everything they take from their exchanges, among which are the Republican at Phenix, the Courier at Prescott, the Silver Belt at Globe. The balance of the lot are nothing more nor less than pilfer- CTS. These pilfering fellows do not even take the trouble to localize the news items they steal, but give them just as they appear in the local papers from which they are stolen. For in- stance you will read in the Tucson Citizen that the Vanderbilt mill is to put in roaster and the Gold Road mill has shipped barcof bullion, etc., which leaves the reader with the i'm. pression that these properties are ir the suburbs of Tucson, or at least SC close to the old Pueblo that the news gathering gentleman of the Citizer was able to run across the facts witt his eyes shut. The violation of news paper ethics is so fragrant that if no discontinued the local papers will re sort to copyrighting their news.

Claude Thompson Dead.

Early last Monday evening the people of Kingman were shocked to learn of the sudden death of Claude Thompson at the home of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. E. F. Thompson. The young man had come in from Stockton Hill Monday morning quite ill, but no one dreamed that his illness would take serious turn until late in the afternoon, when he suddenly collapsed and died within few minutes.
 Claude Thompson was born at Min eral Park little over sixteen years ago and was brought up in this con- munity. Recently he entered the Throop Polytechnic school at Pasa- dena, but was taken ill with an attack of rheumatism and had to return home. This illness resulted in con- plication of disorders which finally caused his death. Claude was warm hearted boy and had a host of friends all over the county, who will one and all sincerely regret his untimely death. The funeral was held from the Catholic church, Rev. Father Vabre preaching the funeral sermon. The little edifice was crowded to the doors with friends of the deceased boy and the funeral procession was one of the largest ever seen in Kingman. May he rest peaceful beneath the sunny skies of his native land.
 The sympathy of the whole commun. ity goes out to the afflicted parents.

The opening date of his store in the Luthy Block will be about the middle of December, which date will hereafter be made public.

The best line of shoes gents and ladies furnishings and gen eral merchandise will be on sale.

When a man says he always was sick-troubled with cough that last ed all winter-what would you think if he should say-he never was sick since using Ballard's Horehound Syr- up. Such man exists. J. c.

I tried Ballard's Horehound Syrup and have not had a sick day since. That's wha, it did for me-" Sold by Watkins Drug Store.
