TO Use.

Let me tell you why Sloan's Liniment

of veterinary surgeon, and from his earli-
est infancy he was associated with horses.
Young. lie practised as veterinary for

All his remedies are the result of eX-
perments made to save life or relieve suf-
fering while he was practising his profess
sion.

GHOSTS VANISH
INTO AIR WHEN
PURSUED BY COPS
Seen in Windows of Vacant POr-
ton of West Orange House,
by Gum!

Some people in West Orange thought
they saw ghosts late last night In the
~unoccupied upper portion of q house
in Freeman street and called the at
tention of the police to the occurrence.
The result was that a squad of
guardians Of the peace were gathered
from various sections of the town as
we'll as one policeman from Orange.
Il amt sure it avs a ghost" said
one mystifed individual, but 1t looks
to me like what n would be, though
/ never say one before"
Its strange that there should be
lights in an empty place like that"
added another. And them lights Is
mighty peculiar"
Among the policemen called was
Mcdonald, of West Orange, and while
other conservators of the law kept the
crowd in order. he made a search of
the rooms, but found nothing except
air and dust in the place.
After his expedition he made some
comments about the imaginative
powers of some persons, and then with
the other policemen, scattered the
crowd that had gathered. This Is Nc
Donald's second ghost-hunting effort.

BURGLARS BREAK
INTO HOME THEY
ROBBED BEFORE
John E. Murray's House in
Bloomfield Once More
Rifled.

Burglars broke into the home of John
Z. Murray. a New York commission
merchant, at 40 Oakland avenue,
Bloomfield, between 5 and II O'Clock
last night, by forcing open a rear VIM
dow with a Jimmy. They then pro-
ceeded to loot the house. 1t is the
second time the house has been robbed
in a year. The thieves are believed to
be the same mes who committed the
previous robbery.
The thieves collected a large guam
tity Of solid silverware and must have
been disturbed before they were ready
to leave, for they left 1t behind. They
secured, however, a number of articles
of valuable jewelry and some small
trinkets.
Mr.. Murray and his family were
at the time.
The first time the house was robbed
the burglars got away with about $4,000
worth of silverware, jewelry. etc.
