The Pen and Pencils had come to be-

Put Shad i'm the River

Game Warden Fl. L. Cook, of Trenton,
last Saturday placed 1,0O0,0 600 shad in
the Delaware at Delaware Water Gap.
Several days ago 100000 were placed at
Easton. The little fish came direct from
the Pennsylvania State Hatchery, at
Carsdale. Game Warden Cook says
that efforts will be made to overcome
the scarcity of shad in the Upper Della
ware.
A collection crew from the Torresdale
hatchery has been visiting the big net at
Washington Park every day for nearly
two weeks, but thus far onlyII36, 900 eggs
have been collected. This is an exceed.
ingly small number, and is due to the
temperature of the water, which has made
shad very late insspawning this year.

Louis KatZ Held For Court.
Bought Goods Under False Statemer

Bought Good Under False Statement
Louis Katz, the late keeper of the
Bridgeton Bargain and 8 and 9 cent store
in Penrs Grove. who was arrested on
Thursday of last week, was arranged be.
fore d. Fl. Smith, Esq, in Salem on Mon
day and held in $500 bail for Court, on
the charge OF obtaining goods under false
representation of his business standing.
The charge was that on the 25th Of
January last Katz made a statement III
writing to the Bodek Company, through
the credit man, Julius Salisbury, that he
had stock in store at Penn's Grove to the
value of $4,000 and that his debts amount
ed to only $1,000 and he had S200in bank.
As a result of this statement the finn
shipped goods to the amount of $63. SO to
katz at Penn's Grove. These goods were
never paid for and suit was brought and
judgement recovered.
Walter P. Ballinger was called toprove
that the firm of Joseph I. Swartz for 500
with interest on a note given December
9th, 1906.
Sheriff Allen, who made the levy on
Katz's goods, stated that the appraislnent
amounted to $500. so and that a sale was
held but after about 800 worth of goods
had been sold the sale was stopped be-
cause he saw there that was not enough
to cover the judgement. The Sheriff said
there were a great many boxes on the
shelves, but when he examined them they
were found empty, and that katz's told
him at one time he owed bills amounting
to $4,000.
Julius SaltZburg stated that since judg-
ment was recovered for the 500. SO he has
learned that previous to Katz making the
statement to him in January he owed,
beside the Swartz note, bills aInounting~to
over $4,000.
IL. B. Ware, Mr.. Katz's attorney, SEEM
ed to think that under the statute the
Court had no jurisdiction in the case for
the false pretense was made and the
goods obtained in the State of Pennsyl-
vania. Mr.. Smith did not think that a
point for him to decide and held Katz in
$500 bail for Court.

Fishing Notes.

The Shad dropped off quite suddenly
the latter part of last week, especially in
the Bay. The shad fishermen quit
Bayside and the boat Ramblers was tax
en- from the line between Bayside and
Hope Creek last Saturday. Denny Bros,
will continue the Admiral a few days
next week.
The sturgeon fishermen in the Bay
have been doing very poorly. In three
days last week forty boats caught only
nine fish.
The catch ON Monday was between 40
and so for the few best nets, on down to
5. The remainder of the week the catch
has been small, from 80 on down.
Because of the scarcity of shad the
price went up to $50 per 100 at New
Castle last Friday and $65 were Offered
for fish at Chester last Saturday and the
supply could not be had. From $50 tt
$50 was the wholesale price received by
fishermen the latter part of last weel
$50 per 100 were paid at Penn's Grove oil
Monday, $50 the balance of the week
This is the highest price ever paid 70
shad at this time of year and was SUI
passed only in 1865 at the beginning
the season.
A big catch Of sturgeon was made i
Chesapeake Bay, at Watchepreagne o
the coast of Virginia, last week.

Memorial Day Observed
Rev. ii. Kidd, The Orator

Memorial Day day was observed as III
ormer years under the auspices OF Acton
Post and Lieut.. E. II. Green Camp Sons
of Veterans.
They went to Pedrictown in the morn
ng and went thru the rItualistlc serv-
ices in the two cemeteries.
In the afternoon, after decorating the
graves of former comrades III RlverVleW
and Emmanuel Cemeteries a eoodiy
audience listened to an able and
appropriate address by Rev. Harry 5.
Kidd. Among other good things he said:
Memorial Day should not be a day OF
! pleasure. We should think seriously
and count the blessings which the God
of battles has brought us. 1t is a day OF
mourning for it's valient dead.
Not another nation has a day set apart
to remember its dead as we do. This
love and gratitude makes for our pros
perity and makes character which Will
outlive the storms of changing politica
opinions.
Back of the flags and flowers which
show love and gratitude are the charac-
tiers of the men who plant them. The
flowers will o wither, the flags soon
fade and monuments will crumble into
dust; the day may be forgotten Ill a few
generations, but what these men fought
for, the battles they won for humanity
is indelibly stamped on mankind and
will last for eternity. The poor white
men of the South who were i'll worse con-
ditions than the black men, were hber-
ated as well as the slaves.
By the preservation of the Union W
can boast of our prosperity and greatness
as a nation. The nation has been eXalt-
| ed to be a worldleader and apeace maker.
Other nations look to our wheat fields
manufacturing industries and get a big
| store of the products OF our powder mills
| before engaging in war. We may wor-
ship God according to the dictates OF our
own conscience as Roger Williams first
taught and founded a colony for
Better fight for a principle and have that
truth established than be most honored
of men.
Then hold your head high as men
among men, because hen all are forgot
ten the things done, the truths establish
| ed will still abide.
