The provisions of the bill are, in
part as follows:
/. The commissioner shall collect.

a report to the governor on or before
the 10th day of January of each year.
who shall transmit to the general as

FIFTH WARD ISSUE.
Griggs Quite Popular and in the
Race for a ''Square Deal"

Geo. H. Griggs candidate for coun-
Gilman, has lived in your state nearly
40 years, in your county 80, and in your
ward 20 years, and has always stood
for righteousness and representative
government by the people, for the peo-
pie.
He was on the ground floor for
prohibition and has always helped fight
it's battles. as well as all other whole
some reform movements, and has many
fights in reserve yet along the same
lines. He is reformer from principle,
having been born and raised a Pennsyl-
vania Abolitionist and Republican.
Mr.. Griggs was on the spot" at the
organization of the Walnut Grove NJ.
F. church, and started the movement
which resulted in it's organization and
has been with it and for it ever since.
Has raised and educated his family in
your midst, and is therefore well
known by most of your voters whom he
is seeking to represent and serve.
He is an ex-school teacher of your
county, a present contracting builder,
and many of your prominent citizens,
his former pupils and present patrons,
will testify as to his worthiness YER
bally and by their little x mark op-
posite his name on the ticket.
Mr. Griggs asks for your indorse-
ment solely on the issue of represent
ing our mutual interests in all munich
pal affairs on the basis of moral intel
lectuaI and physical uplift of our beau
tiful city.
This is the first offense'' of Mr..
Griggs in asking for political prefer
ment but he pleads guilty of the Of
fense of serving the people in connec-
ton with two former city administra-
tions with what efficiency and honor
the record will show and he and his
friends are not ashamed of the record.
Finally, fellow citizens, take your
choice. pay the price and all will be
well.

For Disturbing Religious Worship.

John Webb and Cecil Mckinney who
were charged with disturbing relig-
ious worship. mention of whose arrest
was made i'll this paper last week,
were tried before jury here last
Friday and were each fined $40 and
costs, amounting in all 10 about $50
apiece, 1t seems from the evidence
that the young men attended church
at No Creek on Saturday night Il few
weeks ago, and after the congrega-
ton was dismissed they proceeded TO
terrorize the worshipers by firing a
pistol and otherwise frightening them.
The jury seemed to think that the
right to practice shooting a pistol
after night in the presence of women
and children was quoted high on the
market. and assessed their fines as
above stated.
These young men come from the
best families in their neighborhood.
and it is hoped that the present les
son will be lasting one.
