NO. 9 FOR WINTON
Suburbanites Annex Second
Game of the $3.50 Series
Poor Stick Work at Critical
Moments Give Them
Game

Winton took No. 2 of the $3.50
series last Sunday before a record
breaking crowd of over 1000 people
at the High School ball park. The
exhibition presented by the two
clubs was of the league ball order
and the game was marked by re-
markably few errors and few hits
and was by far the best game ever
put up on the local grounds. Win
ton certainly played star game and
Ely was not whit behind.
The ability on the part of the Ely
boys to connect with the sphere at
critical moments lost them the game
and only the hit of Gianotti' S in the
ninth inning, scoring Martin, say
ed Ely from a shut-out. Twice
during the game Ely had the bags
filled and a hit would have meant
scores, but the stick work was not
there.
West, who was OH the mound for
Winton, had the game we'll in hand
and scattered his hits so that they
availed but little. The score book
shows seven hits off his delivery
while Seraphine, of the Ely team,
only gave five hits. Nine of Ely
men were left on bases and seven
for Winton The Winton hits
came when they counted. Ely was
unfortunate in this.
Seraphine struck out 4, West, 9.
Base on balls, off Seraphine, /.
Two Ely men were hit by the pitch
er as were also two Winton men.
Each side made a double play. ].
H. McGreevy umpired the game in
his usual satisfactory manner.
The score by innings and the
lineup of the two teams were as
follows:
WINToN.-- 20 1 0 4 0 0 Q 0 0--5

could in no event be brought
about before May. Some def
mite announcement of the result

A LIBERAL OFFER.

antee to Cure Dyspepsia. If
They Fail, The Medicine Costs
Nothing.
To unquestionably prove to the
people of Lumberton that indiges-
ton and dyspepsia is durable and
that Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets
will effect the cure, we will fur
nish the medicine absolutely free
II it fails to give complete salts
faction to anyone giving it a
trial.
The remarkable success of Rex
all Dyspepsia Tablets is largely
due to the new and successful
method of manufacture, whereby
the well-known properties of Bis
muth, Subnitrate and Pepsin
have been combined with carmi-
natives and their agents.
Bismuth Subnitrate and Pepsin
are recognised by the entire
medical profession as specifics
for acute indigestion and dyspep-
STA. -.
The Pepsin used in Rexall
Dyspepsia Tablets is manufacture
ed by a new process which devel-
ops its greatest efficiency. Pep
sin supplies to the digestive ap-
paratus one of the most impor-
tant elements of the digestive
fluid, and exerts a tonic influence
upon all the glands which supply
all the other elements necessary
to proper assimilation and diges-
ton.
The carmina tives add proper
ties which promptly relieve the
disturbances and pain caused by
undigested food.
The perfect combination of
these ingredients make a remedy
absolutely Incompatible and in
valuable for the complete cure of
Indigestion and dyspepsia.
We are so positively certain of
this that we sell Rexall Dyspep-
STA Tablets on our own personal
guarantee that they will either
cure you or cost you nothing.

BURGLARS BuHGLE VAULT CRACKING.

Burglars made all unsuccessful eff
fort to rob the Califon National Bank
in Califon, at 2 O'Clock Sunday morn
ing. An overcharge of nitroglycerine
was used, shaking nearby buildings
and rudely awakening the residents.
Two explosions were heard, following
each other in close succession The
first report was sufficient to awaken
those residing near the bank, and
when the second charge was set of
the whole town was awakened.
Samuel Neigh, residing near the
bank, raised window and emptied
the contents of revolver in the di-
rection of the bank Within few
moments score of men had sur
rounded the building and the town
marshal and his deputies searched the
building. The robbers had made their
escape into the mountains. Every
thing in the quarters occupied by the
bank proper was in disorder and the
furniture wrecked.
A large hole had been drilled into
the safe door. This door was blown
through partition aud lodged against
st the jamb of the door leading INTO
the street. Window panes in the
building were blown out and hole
blown in the ceiling. The inner door
to the large vault was intact.
Entrance to the bank was effected
by the nse of skeleton key. The
door was again locked by the burg
lars. who escaped by rear door, after
scaling seven foot partition. In
their fight they left drills aud other
tools.

FARE TO TAYLORSviLLE CUT BY TROL
LEY COMPANY.

Although the New Jersey and
Pennsylvania Traction Company did
not put into effect Monday the new
increased rate of fare between Tren.
ton and Yardley, it did reduce the fare
from Trenton to Taylorsvilie. A fare
OF FIVE cents will be charged to Yardley
pending the outcome Of the confer
ence Of the trolley officials with May.
or Madden and the Trenton Mer.
chants Association this "wednesday J
evening.
The fare from Trenton to Taylors-
Vile up until Monday had been ID
cents one way. Beginning Monday
morning the fare was reduced to II

ly appreciated by a large number Of
Trentonians, who occupy bungalow.
at Tsyl orsville during the summer.
Taylorsville is four miles above

trolley company to charge the same
fare from Trenton to Yardley as II
does from this city to Taylorsville.

EXAMINATIONS TO BE UNIFORM NOW.

Under a new arrangement by the
principals of the several high schools
of this county, the examinations will
in the future be uniform in all high
schools. The schools affected are
Lambertville, Pennington, French
town, Clinton, High Bridge and
Junction. The principals have had
several meetings to plan the arrange
ment and organized by the election of
Prof. Louis E. Boutwell,. supervising
principal of the Lambertville public
schools, as secretary. The movement
has the endorsement of all the boards
of education in the county, County
Superintendent J. s. Hoffman and
also Prof. James Green, of the New
Jersey State Schools.
The June examinations will be con-
Quoted in this manner. the questions
to be the same for all the high schools
having the Endorsement as it is called.
The studies included are: Four years
of English, four years Of Latin, two
ears of German, two years of alge-
bra, two years of geometry, American +,
English, Ancient, Medieval and Mod
ern history, physics, chemistry, bot
any and physical geography. The
slight expense incurred is apportioned
| among the schools included in the
| plan.
The idea is to make the examine
tions better balanced and more care
fully prepared, and to tend to the mu-
tual increase in efficiency OF the
schools of Hunterdon County. The
experiment will be watched with in
terest by the teachers and boards OF
other counties. Prof. Boutwell,, OF
this city, has had much to do with in
PRODUCING this method, and the exec
utive work will be under his super
| vision.

FUNERAL SERVICES OF COL. READING.

The burial services of Colonel Rich
ard B. Reading were held at his late
home, % Jefferson street, Saturday
| afternoon. The interment was in
Riverview cemetery. Masonic rites
were observed. Rev. H. A. MacKub-
bin, pastor of the First Presbyterian
| church, officiated. A mass of floral
offerings were in evidence at the
Reading home prior to the funeral.
Some of these tokens were from the
Mystic Shrine, Lotus club and Tren-
ton Lodge No. 100, b. p O. f., of
Trenton, and from various other or
ders to which Colonel Reading be-
| longed, and from relatives and init
mate friends. TO the funeral had
| been invited number of Colonel
Readings military associates, includ-
ing Brigadier Generals Joseph w.
Congdon, G. Edward Murray, Bird
W. Spencer, Adjutant General r.
Heber Breintnall. Generals Dennis
F. Collins, and Edward A. Camp
bell, Colonel Frederick F. Gilky-
son and Major General P. Farmer
Wanser. Aside from the above no
invitations were sent to his state or
legislative associates, friends or &C
quaintances, as it was feared that ow-
ing to his popularity some would be
overlooked. The funeral was one of
the largest held in this city recently.
On all sides here it is said that Colon
ell Dicks loss will be felt in many
homes, as his kindheartedness and
generosity were ever to be relied on
in time of need. Those present from
Trenton included James Gordon,
James f. Let's, Fred Holtz, Frank
Labor. Augustus Bogert, Colonel John
7. Van Cleef and many others. Par
ties from Pennington, Reigelsville,
New York city, Philadelphia and
other points were present to pay their
last tribute to their departed friend.
