CHAPTER Nv.
Continued

A man stepped forward-he was
the chief of police; he looked long
at the murdered man AMI at Theo-
dore, then stopping, focused his
eyes on the hilt of a dagger in the
dead mans breast.
Many knew tit was japanese
weapon belonging to Theodore, and
kept on his desk as paper cutter.
Chief Thomas, that was his name,
stepped to the side of Theodore.
Ted, you are my prisoner" he
said.
Theodore stood immovable: he
leaned toward the murdered man.
"The irony of fate-the devils
stupendous joke" heb cried.
Then calmly, even defiantly, he
cried, mot guilty.

GOOD HOME PRESCRIP-
TION FOR RHEUMATISM
Don't Cost Much and Relieves Many
Cases by Making Kidneys Take
Poisons From Blood - Prepare
These Yourself As IL Is Said TO BE
Splendid and Harmless.

Thousands of men and women who
have felt the sting and torture of this
dread disease which is no respecter
of age, persons, sex, color or rank,
will be Interested to know that while
for many years rheumatism was con-
sidered an ncurable disease, now 1t
Is one of the easiest Affections of the
human body to conquer. Medical
science has proven 1t not distinct
disease in itself, but a symptom
caused by inactive kidneys. Rheuma-
tism is uric acid in the blood and 9TH
ed waste products of the system
which should be filtered and strained
out in the form of urine. The func-
ton of the kidneys Is to sift these
poisons and acids out and keep the
blood clean and pure. The kidneys,
however are of sponge-like substance,
the holes or pores Of which will some
times, either from overwork, cold or
exposure become clogged and inactive,
and failing in their function of elimi-
mating these poisons from the blood,
they remain in the veins, decompose
and settling about the joints and mus
cles, cause the untold suffering and
pain of rhematism and backache, often
producing complications of bladder
and urinary disease weakness, etc.
The following simple prescription is
said to relieve the worst cases of rheu-
matism because of its direct action
upon the blood and kidneys, relieving,
too, the most severe forms of bladder
and urinary troubles: Fluid Extract
Dandelion, one-half ounce; Compound
Syrup Sarsaparilla, three ounces. Mix
by shaking well in n bottle and take
in teaspoonful doses after each meal
and at bedtime. The ingredients can
be had from any good prescription
pharmacy, and are absolutely harm
less and safe to use at any time.

Time for Legislation.
The time is probably ripe for legis-
lation which will retain to state and
nation such lands as may remain, 'un-
I'll sentiment shall have crystalzed
upon some solution Of the grave land
problem. No one will be injured by
such law, because they will be subject
to lease for home building and bene-
ficial use as now. Doubtless it would
be wise to repeal temporarily at least
all law providing for the sale or entry
OF public lands by either state or ma
ton, except in case of the small
homesteads under the administration
of the reclamation service. The
states can we'll afford to retain their
school lands, and the generations of
the future would be the gamers.
That the general government must
recover the vast areas of lands which
fraud has wrested from the public
domain all will admit, and some sale
method, fair and just, must be de-
vised to compel the sale OF idle lands
held by the great corporations and
alien owners for exploitation and fu-
ture profit The alien ownership law
never ought to have had place on the
statute books of any state. They
ought now to be repealed. American
land for American men may be sell

Incident to these broader principles
of which | speak is the preservation
of the fisheries. the development Of
agriculture, horticulture and the live
stock interests to the end that the
earth and the waters thereof may yield
for man the most and best. Scientific
study will do that, and there should
be no stint in the appropriations by
congress and legislature for scientific
and experimental purposes.

Returns from Second and Fourth
Districts Show Falling Off
of $5,l35,236.
IN PERSONALLY
MAKE UP DEFICIENCY
Considered Possible That This
Years Figures May Be About
Same as Last.

Preliminary compilations of figures
by the Board for the Assessment and
Revision of Taxes in this city, pre-
sented today to the County Board for
the Equalization of Taxes, are con-
strued by the members of the local
board to show that there will be only
very small decrease from last years
figures. If there be any at all.
Summaries of the assessors returns
from the second and fourth districts,
where the greatest decreases occur
show that there is a falling off of as
sessments amounting to only s5,1S5, ,236
1t was thought when the assessors be-
gan their work that the difference
would be about $4,000
The decrease in the second and fourth
districts, it is thought. will be almost
counterbalanced, and perhaps entirely,
by increases of personal property in
other districts and for increases Of
valuations on real property.
This situation obtains despite the
fact that in financial institutions there
has been a decrease in the assessments
on financial institutions of almost $l0,-
O00000, in actual figures $9,762,1l9. Be-
sides this there has been taken out of
the direct taXables of the city I,IS,6S0
for second class railroad property,
which win be assessed by the state
Board of Assessors.

Poor of Bridgeton.

Miss Marion Woolman, of Burlington,
a beautiful heiress and a Vassar gradu-

an adjutant in the Salvation Army, and
until recently was attached to the sta
ton at Paterson.
Back of the announcement of the
coming marriage is a pretty little ro-
nance with the usual parental objec-
ton figuring prominently. Miss Wool
man is exceedingly popular in her home
town and also has a wide circle Of
friends, all OF whom were much sur
prised to learn of her engagement to
the Salvation Army man.
Several years ago Adjutant Hewitt
was attached to the Salvation Army at
Bridgeton. and 1t was while engaged
in his work in this South Jersey town
that he first met Miss Woolman. The
friendship that soon sprung up between
them rapidly grew to infatuation, and.
because of their attachment for each
other, Miss Woolmans parents caused
the transfer of the young man 70 Pat
erson.
But Miss Woolman remained stead
fast, and when the mother became con-
WINGED that her daughter was really in
love with the Salvation Army worker
she finally withdrew her objections.
She and her daughter then secured
Hewitt's transfer back to Bridgeton.
Miss Woolman and her mother are
now at Ocean Grove, where. although
no formal announcement has been
made, it is understood that the mar
riage viii take place some time this
month.

Mrs. Patrick McCune Is At
tackled by Burglar in Home
in Hill Section.
DEMANDS MONEY AND
FELLS HER WITH BLOW
Attack So Sudden She Couldn't
Make OutCry-Man Escapes,
but Without Booty.

Mrs Patrick McCune, wife of a
wealthy merchant and head of one of
the best-known families in the Hill Sec
ton, is at her home at 146 Broome
street today recovering from the fero-
cious attack of a burglar. He had de-
manded money, of which she was COM
monty known to have a large sum, but
before she had time to answer he struck
her down.
Mrs. McCune struggled with the rob-
Der valiantly, but she is elderly and he
soon felled her. Her face was fright
fully discolored and she was today suf
fering greatly from shock
The burglar disappeared and Mrs
McCune was found in hysterical con-
dition by her son William, who was the
only member of the family on the
premises. He was in the stable in the
re9i of the yard, but, as his mother
made no outcry, he was not aware Of
what happened until he went upstairs
He Immediately hurried to the Fourth
Precinct police station, and Policeman
Tarterillo was dispatched to the scene
Mrs. McCune, however, was unable to
give description of her assailant. De-
tective Sergeant Horter has been as
signed to the case by Captain Carroll,
and he went over the ground and ques-
toned number of people in the neigh
borhood
Mrs. McCune, who Is about go years
| old, was awaiting the return of her
husband from his place of business on
East Ferry street, and was seated at
a window with the door leading from
the hall into the kitchen wide open.
Mrs. McCune Tells of Attack.
In relating her experience to an EVE
MING STAR reporter Mrs. McCune
said
"I have been troubled with a sore
foot for the past few weeks, and was
in my armchair at the window wait
ing for my husband to return so that
/ could prepare meal for him. We
have lived here so long that | always
leave the door open. 1 did not hear
anyone enter. Suddenly a voice shouted:
81 want you to tell me where your
money is and was struck in the face
That's all I remember. until my son
came upstairs
The assault took place shortly after
8 o'clock last night. Everybody in the
neighborhood knows the McCune fam
lily, as they have been active in politics,
several of the sons having been candi-
dates, and Mr.. .McCune Is one of the
old-line Democratic workers At the
time the streets were crowded, and
several men were in a barber shop on
the first floor of the McCune house.
which is on the southeast corner of
Broome and West Kinney streets.
In further discussing the attack Mrs.
McCune said:
II often spoke to my boys about
what 1 would do If anyone annoyed
me. 1 told them I would stamp on the
floor to attract the barber DOWNSTAIRS,
but it happened so suddenly that 1
didn't get a chance.
II have club hanging there, and
perhaps If 1 discovered the stranger, in
spite of my age. 1 would have made 1t
warm for him."

Sworn Statements Presented to
County Board by Various
Cities Today.
RECENT LEGAL RULINGS
CAUSE OF THE DECLINE
Second-Class Railroad Property
Not Included This Year
Amounts to Sl,7l3,630.

Assessors of the several municipali-
ties presented their sworn statements
as to ratables before the county Tax
Board at its annual meeting today, and
from the figures submitted it is seen
that the ratables this year are less
than last year by $2,4S391s. This is
explained by the fact that much of
bank stock holdings has been sworn off
under the recent court decision, and
because 1t is worcestershire, and be-
cause Of the decision covering second
class railroad property, which, under
the law, is now taxed by the State.
The community in which it is situated
ultimately gets the benefit of it, how
ever.
The star and Newark advertiser. [volume] (Newark, N.J.) 1908-1909, 1908-08-04

It Is probable that the total TAX rats
will be not more than 1.64. Last year
it was 1859. The decrease will be due to
the greater economy exercised by the
municipal authorities in running their
governments.
The decreases in the ratables Of
Orange are largely due to the loss in
the assessment of the big Graves estate
and the reduction in assessable bank
stock. while South Orange village and
Millburn feel the loss because of the
railroad decision.
