Memorial Day at Bridgeport.

Public interest in memorial service
has not subsided in Bridgeport, and as
in former years the exercises were a
success. The old soldiers we're graft
fed by the interest manifested, which
assured them that when the few re-
naming veterans shall have Joined
the grand encampment above, the mem
ories of theih heroic deeds will not be
forgotten. Owing to the long period
of sickness, Capt. Truitt was not able
to preside at the service, but Comrade
J. B. Carey filled the position in very
able manner. Service began at two
o'clock. The singing was in charge
of Mr.. Wallace McKeag. A special
solo was rendered in very able man
ner by Mrs. Ida McKeag. Rev. F.
Purcell, pastor of the M. E. Church,
delivered the Grafton, which was grand
The Mullica Hill band rendered excel
lent music The bodyguard composed
of the members of Jr. O. U. A. NJ,
presented a fine appearance and did
excellent marching. A wagon decor
ated with flags conveyed Comrades
Chas. Storms, James H. Hewes and
John Boyd in the parade, they not be-
ing able to stand the marching. After
the graves were decorated the band
marched back to the home of Capt.
Truitt and favored him with two of
their finest selections. The captain
considered it an honor to be remem-
bered by the band, and it was highly
appreciated by him as we'll as his FAM
lily. The Mu1lica Hill band deserves
the highest commendation for their
talent displayed and they rank among
the best in Gloucester county.

THINGS TALKED ABOUT.

The Shanleys, the widely known
road builders, are putting down a half
mile of amicite on the county road
South of Westville. Their bid was
SOC. per square yard, and Engineer
VIM. NJ. Carter says amicite comes
nearer to bitulithic of any road ma
terial he has seen. After Council ad-
journed Tuesday night, the members
had an informal talk on this subject,
and Jimmie" Carey, Stanley & CO..
manager, is going to be asked to give
price for ameciting Broad street.
To do this the job with bitulithic
would cost about $4,000, while with
annette, at the 55c. price, the cost
would be about $4,000

One of our regrets is that Boards of
Trade refuse to thrive in Woodbury..
What's the matter, anyway? Some
body has said that the Board seems
to take delight in stepping on some
body's toes, and somebody else says
if toes are sound that is a small mat
ter. There is between $500 and $500
in the treasury and it's a burning
shame to have it all go up in rent,
and no advantage to anybody. The
Board ought either to do something
or declare dividend and liQuidate
And such course is to be deplored
for many reasons, chief of which is
that such course Smaks of defeated
purpose. If Woodbury. was really
finished there would be no harm in
letting it be widely known, but it is
not, because a town that can support
Country Club and three base ball
teams is alive, and going to stay SO
Board of Trade or no Board of Trade.
A good way to start anew will be for
everybody to put their toes in their
pocket, and go ahead. Woodbury. is
building in all directions and its not
the square thing to allow Council to
have all the honors of the new birth.
AS topic for next meetings dis
cussion we propose: What shall be
done with the Board of Trade?

West Jersey Horse Show.

The prize list for the fourth annual
exhibition OF the West Jersey Horse
Show, to be held at Collingswood, June
18 and 19 has just been issued and in
cludes enough events to warrant an
early start and late closing for both
days of the show that is now antici-
nRted with as much interest as any
annual happenings in So. Jersey. The
entries close June 7, but already the
majority of exhibitors have announced
their intention of participating.
With the advance entries have come
applications for boxes and all have
been disposed of; in fact it was neces-
sary to add number to meet the de-
mand, all of which demonstrates the
popularity of the horse show and war
rants the claim of the management
that this year will see it rank with
the best horse shows in the East.
With the exception of the hunters
and jumpers, Jersey horses only are
eligible. While Jersey provides few
of the horses in these classes in the
several shows of this part of the East,
the competition is very keen and it is
not at all safe betting that Jersey
hurdlers will be left out of the blue
ribbon winners
Included in the judges this year will
be Mrs. John Gerken, of Gravesend,
L. |. The judges will be: Horses and
ponies in harness, Mrs. John Gerken.

In the draft horse class, which at
tracted 80 much interest in the past
two shows, a single horse event will
be included. The fire horse class will
be another attractive feature and as
it is open to all may find some horses
in competition with the handsome ami
mails shown last year by the Camden
Fire Department. Professional drivers
are eligible in five classes, station
wagon, roadster classes, draft horse
classes, jumping classes and fire de-
partment classes

INDIGESTION GOES
 IN FIVE MINUTES
Heartburn, Gas, Dyspepsia and Other Stomach Misery Vanish Before
 You Realize lt.

If what you just ate is souring on your stomach or lies like lump of lead, refusing to digest. or you belch Gas and Eructate sour. undigested food or have a feeling of Dizziness. Heartburn. Fullness. Nausea. Bad taste in mouth and stomach headache-this is Indigestion
 A full case Of Pape's Diapepsin costs only 50 cents and will thoroughly cure vour out-of- order stomach. and leave sufficient about the house in case some one else in the family may suffer from stomach trouble or Indigestion.
 Ask your pharmacist to show you the formula plainly printed on these 50-cert cases. then you will under stand why Dyspeptic trouble of all kinds must go. and why they usually relieve sour. ut-of- order stomachs or Indigestion in five minutes. Diapepsin is harmless ard tastes like candy. though each dose contains power suffi- cient to digest and prepare for assimi- lation into the blood all the food you eat: besides. 1t makes you go to the table with a healthy appetite: but. what will please you most is that you will feel that your stomach and intes- tines are clean and fresh. and you will rot need to resort to laxative or liver pills for Biliousness or Constipation.
 This city will have many Diapepsin cran6s. as some people will call them. but you will be cranky about this splendid stomach preparation. too. if you ever try a little for Indigestion or Gastritis or any other Stomach misery.
 Get some now. this minute, and for ever rid yourself of Stomach Trouble and Indigestion.

GAME WON BY THE NATIONALS Fine Game Played Here By
 League Men
 SCORE WAS FOUR ID TWO Celebrities of the Diamond Play Before An Enthu- siastic Audience - Bril- liant Plays, Fast Work and Many Errors
SCORE WAS FOUR 10 TWO

Eighteen men, each one of whom has his own special hitch in the hall of fame for celebrities of the diamond, de- lighted large audience at Eastlake park yesterday by their exposition of the national game as it is played by the big league teams of the east. There were double plays. startling for their rapidity; there were long smashes that struck the back fence, though they never happened to go over it: and there were individual stunts by the fielders and the base runners that all most reminded one of the circus. Even the staunchest admirers of Rudolph's 'Cherrubs.' the "Bloomer" girls or the Coyotes had to admit that there was a shade of difference in the playing of their favOrites and the All-Americans and Nationals.
 The game was won by the Nations Is by the score of to 2. Each side made two runs in the third and from then on up to the seventh inning the score was tie In this inning two more runs were gathered in by the Nationals and the All-Americans never caught up with them.
 The battery for the All-Americans was Coombs and Thomas. and for the Nationals Curtis and Mitchell. Both of the pitchers were hit hard. though Coombs suffered more than Curtis. Men like Plank, Mitchell and Donahue for the Nationals simply walioped the ball far out into the field. farther in fact
