Local farmers are picking their first
crop of peas and from all accounts
the crop is much larger than was ex-
pected.
Horace Richter and Eugene Smith,
two enterprising young men of New
bold, have gotten out local paper
called the "Westville Saturday Re-
view" The paper is to be issued every
week and will contain sufficient local
news to warrant it having good cir
culation. We wish it an abundance
of success.
Base ball admirers are considerably
worked up as to whether Westville
will be represented with a first team
this season. There has been two
games played here and the fans are
disguised with the work of some of
our home" players, and demand a
strong team. The executive commit
tee are hard at work devising means
to place a fast team on the field to
represent Westville, but SO far have
lacked the necessary financial assist
ance to carry out the same. 1t costs
money to run a good base ball team,
and it is ssup to you" to make start
by your contribution, which will be

On May 20 the State of Kansas be-
came absolutely dry" The new pro-
hibitory law went into effect at mid
night. No liquor can be sold for any
purpose by druggists or anybody else.
Even the sale of liquor of any kind
for medicinal uses is forbidden Doc
tors prescriptions will not be recog-
nized as emitting the holder to liquor,
as heretofore. The druggists turned
in their permits to the various pro-
bate courts. Attorney General jack
son declares the law is valid.

of his birth

are preparing their respective exer-
cises for Children's Day, which will
be celebrated on Sunday, the 18th of

songs of more than ordinary interest.
The services will be held as in former
years in the Presbyterian Church in

Church IN the afternoon
On Sunday afternoon last the
guards of the Junior Order of Ameri-
can Mechanics, Wenonah Council, of
Chew's Landing, placed the American
flag over the graves of their dead mem
bers who are buried in the Presby-
terrain, Methodist and Baptist grave
yards. At each place three salutes
were given in honor of the dead. In
the evening the lodge as a body at
tended the service of the Methodist
Church and listened to a patriotic SER
mon by Rev Thomas Ogle. During
the evening large American flag was
unfurled in the pulpit and is to be
kept there hereafter. Each person
who attended the service was pre-
scented with a flag.
/ On Saturday last an interesting
base ball game was played at the home
grounds by the local team with the

favor. On Saturday, June 9Th, the

That this neighborhood is likely to
be more popular this season than ever

large number of persons who were
here from Saturday to Tuesday, and
especially the Memorial Day crowd.
Numerous small picnic parties were
to be seen almost everywhere along
the banks of Lake Morgan and in the
grove. The railroad trains contained
many extra cars and the trolley in

grounds with the team from the Wood
bury Country Club, the score being to
the tune of to in favor of the
Blackwood team. In the afternoon,
the same teams played at the Wood

Will Stokes Reply?

Former Governor Edward Casper
Stokes is publicly asked by former
Mayor Mark M. Pagan to answer this
question among others:
Why did you not publicly answer
the charge made by Governor Fort
that the Hillery tax law, and particu-
larry the County Board tax law.were
passed for the sole purpose of aiding
share of taxation, and were so intend
ed by the men responsible for these
laws?"
Mr.. Stokes answer is awaited with
interest. 1t is no light matter for a
Republican Ex-Governor to be charg-
by a republican Governor with hav-
ing acted officially in the sole interest
of railroads.
A demand for an answer was made
at the time Governor Fort formulat-
ed his charge, several weeks ago, but
Stokes remained silent. Now when
he has been challenged to speak by
a man who lays his defeat to the
very laws Governor denounced, it is
to be hoped Stokes will realize that
further silence might be construed as
an admission Of guilt.

David Baird is man of few words,
but his Camden organs are supplying
him with some choice epithets to be
applied to Governor Fort. They have
written down the Chief Executive of
the State as a calumnious common
tator, an unrighteous dictator, bell
lower and blusterer, an imprudent
imitator of his betters, and broken
down party race-horse. The politi-
cal situation in South Jersey must be
becoming frenzied.

right, the good. as for the magnet to
draw to itself whatever is kindred.

ARE At SEA
THEORY THAT LEON LING MAY
NOT BE GUILTY PARTY Is BE-
ING REVIVED POLICE ARE
RETICIENT.

NEW YORK, June 2S. - The
failure TO find any trace of Leon
Ling has caused the police to give
attention to the theory strongly re-
viyed that the missing man may not
have killed Elsie Sigel and that he
himself was the victim of the same
hand that killed the girl. What
about the theory that Leon Is dead"
police Inspector MeCofferty was
asked today. well IL Leon is dead
we have one of the men who killed
him under arrest and We can lay
hands on another in five minutes he
replied.
On the ninth day after the dis
coyery of Elsie Sigel's body, and pre-
sumably the eighteenth day after the
crime was committed, the New York
police are Obliged to admit tonight
that they are just as far as ever
from the whereabouts of Leon Ling.
The most significant fact of the
case is that there is nothing TO in
dicate when or where Ling left the
city.
Every house in Chinatown has been
searched, room by room, and every
wall and floor sounded.
The information coming from New
ark Yesterday that Leon Ling left
the trunk in restaurant there, has
been substantially confirmed with
slight alterations in detail and hours,
but It only makes the case more
puzzling. 1t appears today from the
books of the Lawrence Cab company

did accept the trunk and that he kept
it in his place for twelve hours, al
though he has denied It. But police
investigation shows that the trunk
was taken to Newark between mid
night, June 3. and | a. m. of June
10, and remained there until the af-
ternoon of the 10th. This places the
time of the murder a day ahead of
the time previously fixed by the po-
lice and on the same day that the
girl disappeared from her home.

AIRSHIP. HOUSE DESTROYED BY
STORM-WELIMAN TO CON
T1NUE ON JOURNEY UNTIL
SUCCESS Is ATTAINED.

TRAM0SE, Norway, June 2S.-
The steamer Artic OF Walter Well
mans north pole expedition arrived
here today from Spitzenbergen, with
her flags at half-mast. bringing the
news that Knud Johnson, one of the
tow men who remained at the Well
man camp this winter had perished
In the ice pack that the airship shed
had been destroyed by heavy storm
On May 9 Johnson went with his
fellow watehman, Paul Bjoervig, on.
a hunting expedition over the ice
pack The ice was moving and John
son fell through a erevasse into the
sea. Bjoeryig held out long stick,
for Johnson to grasp, but he was un-
conscious. Bjoeryig then ran back
to the camp and secured rope, but
when he returned Johnson's body
had disappeared.
A strong gale from the southwest
sprang up on Christmas day and
lasted for eight days. Bjoervig, who
has passed many winters in Spitzen-
bergen and has been with Mr..
Wellman on every Artic expedition
since 1894, says that he has never
seen such a fierce storm as this. 1t
reached its climax on the night of
December 25, when it entirely de-
stroyed the airship shed.
Anticipating the possibility that
the airship house might be destroyed,
Walter Wellmaln had sent by the
Artie timber and repairing materials.
Mr.. Wellman, who is now in COM
mand at the camp, reports the work
of rebuilding the house has already
begun.
If it is found Impossible to make
the voyage northward this summer
Mr.. Wellman declares he will con-
tinue as long as It is necessary 10
attain success.
