Wholesale Theft of Jersey Horses.

From many sections of Northern
New Jersey reports are being made
to the police of the larger places of
horse stealing on exclusive lines, a
conservative estimate being made that
more than hundred draught horses
had been stolen in one week in that
part of the State north of Elizabeth
from the Hudson river to the Della
ware.
Chief of Police Corbitt, of Newark,
has received word from Chester, N.
j., that vigilance committee of that
place has been organized, and would
like his cooperation. As Newark
has two detectives who do little else
but pursue horse thieves, the request
was readily granted
The thieves, it is thought, are work
ing through the State Systematically
and have some method of disposing
of the horses as yet unknown to the
police authorities. They made raids
through the Paterson section the week
before last and then, as if by con-
certed action, shifted the scene of
their depredations to the farming sec
ton in the western part of the State.
A few horses were traced to Brook
lyn, according to the Newark police,
but arrests have not been made. Pre-
vious to the western raid horses were
stolen in Newark and vicinity the
teamsters suffering chiefly. The
thieves act boldly, taking horses in
daytime as well as at night.
Only guesses have been made as to
their ways of operating. In the lower
part of the State 16 horses were miss
ed and were never recovered. Later
it was found that they had been
quartered in sand-pit near the place
where they had been stolen for sew
eraT days. In several parts of the
State societies have been formed fol-
mutual protection. The thieves are
! expert horsemen.

THE EARLY SYMPTOMS.
How Laymen May Easily Recognize
the First Stages of CONSUMPTION.

Any of the following symptoms
should lead one to consult his physi-
clan and have his lungs examined and
sputum (spit) tested:
/. A cough lasting a month, except
whooping cough.
2. Poor appetite Especially in the
morning., and Indigestion, loss of
weight and strength, and pallor (gen-
orally run down.
3. Hoarseness, lasting several
weeks.
A. Splitting, especially in the morn
ing
5. Night sweats.
6. Splitting blood.
Z. Fever in the afternoon, shown
by flushed face and tired feeling.
Any, several, or all of these symp-
toms coming after severe cold, grip,
bronchitis, whooping cough, measles,
typhoid fever or any other acute dis
ease, may indicate tuberculosis.
Two or three or more examinations
should be made. The germs may not
be found the first time the sputum is
examined and it is a very difficult dis
ease to diagnose even in physical
examination.
Too much publicity cannot be given
to knowledge of this kind which may
be the means of saving untold sor-
row and suffering, and thousands of
lives besides.
The Board of Health of every COM
munity in the State should endeavor
to convey this life-saving information
to every citizen within its reach, and
it's Importance should not be over
looked by anyone interested in the
preventive work of the anti-tubercu-
losis campaign.

Book Auction Back In 1882.

John Montgomerie. governor of the
province of New York. died on July L
1871. In the New York Gazette of May
8. 1882, is the following advertisement,
the first of the kind:
ION Thursday, June /, at 3 O'Clock
In the afternoon, will begin to be sold
at public auction collection of vafua-
BILE books belonging to the library Of
his exceIlency John Montgomerie. Esq.
late governor of New York. ETC., de
ceased. A catalogue Of the books may
be seen at the Coffee House in New
York, with the conditions of sale"
This is also the first instance where
the word ''auction" appears" "vendue'
being the term in general use.

How to Destroy odors.

Place a cup containing vinegar on
the stove near the pan in which you
are cooking cabbage or onions and the
odor viii not spread all over the house,
as it would otherwise.
Gloucester County Democrat. (Woodbury, N.J.) 1878-1932, 1909-02-11

called to testify on both sides of the case.
After careful and impartial considera-
ton of all the evidence, an unbiased mind
must of necessity reach the conclusion
that this hotel was not conducted in accor-
dance with either the letter or the spirit of
the laws Of the State, with relation to the
granting of licenses and the selling of in
toxicating liquor.
The testimony discloses a situation Of
affairs, which makes it manifestly appar-
ent that the holder of the license failed
to appreciate the true purpose and intent
of inns and tavern act, which provides
implicitly, at least, for the issue of a IL
cense to keep place to accommodate and
entertain travellers and strangers, to serve
the public occasions of the county and for
tho convenience of men meeting together
to transact business. The sale Of intoxi-
eating liquors is merely incidental to the
keeping Of such place, and the Court is
enjoined not to license house to be kept
for encouragement of tipping, drunken
ness, etc. The establishment is not to be
conducted SO as to make the traffic in
liquor, the dominent feature, thereby pro-
noting tipping and drunkenness in vic.
lation of the exact letter of the law.
A fair and impartial consideration Of
the entire testimony leads irresistibly te
the conclusion that the following facts
have been established as evidence of the
manner in which the hotel was conducted

not be hurried away by their friends.
and they are in the hispital. Others
seriously injured are John Farrell
chief of police of Stowe Township,
shot through the fesny part of his
arm and stabbed twelve times.
Late last evening the Steel Queen,

ed with strike breakers attempted to
enter the mill yards from the Ohio
River trough, water gate, and was
fired on by 300 strikers on the r. er
bank Those on the Steel Queen re-
turned the fire promptly and probab-
ly 100 shots were fired before tne boat

shore of the Ohio River.
At least half dozen of the strik-
ers appeared TO have been hit by the
bullets from the Steel Queens marks

one on the vessel was hit or not.

ing pushed into the gate and 1t was
discovered by the strikers that the
cars contained men. The second riot
about two hours later, took place
when some strike breakers became
