SERVICE AS GOOD AS REQUIRED
The MorrIstown & Erie Railroad
Meets the Needs.

4AACO13 INC ~ es2e-ce
The Sunday Call" published an
article recently rejecting upon the
management and accommodation of
the Merristown & Erie railroad.
President r. W. McEwan, in COM
munication to that paper puts the
matter in its proper light. He says:
Noting your comment on the man
agement Of this road in the issue OF
Sunday last, you seem to misunder-
stand conditions, SO / will submit the
following in justice to all concerned
The train service which you mem
tion as good, though very expensive,
was not, in our Judgement, as useful
to patrons of the road as that now pro-
Tided. The small Forney type engine
of thirty tons weight was bought and
redesigned especially for this service,
and is as fine piece Of machinery as
runs on any rails. burns furnace size
anthracite coal, carries $50 pounds Of
steam, starts and stops as quick, or
quicker, than an electric car. 1t is
light, has small drivers close down to
the rail, is safe. and is very fast. It,is
regularly inspected by our own inspect
ors, also insurance and the state in
spectors.
The coach is of old design, but in
good condition, and more comfortable
than it may appear. 1t suits it's pur-
pose. and is safe, strong and clean, al
SO regularly inspected by state and
other inspectors. On many trips we
make stops between stations to accom-
modate those having long walks to
train. This causes little or no delay
with the small light engine and car,
and would be impossible with a long.
heavy train. We haye an extensive
and growing freight business to take
care of, as we'll as the growing passen-
ger traffic, and as much track time is
given to passenger trains as we can
now afford. Provision is being made
in the way of sidings, ETC., from time
to time, which will soon admit OF more
track time for passengers. Your COM
ments treat the road and its possibili-
ties fairly we'll, but you were rather
careless about the management. 1t
was the McEwan's fortune to promote
the road, and also support it. 1t was
my own to have done most of the work
in the purchasing of right-of-way and
building. have always been, and am
now its president, and the one most re-
sponsible for all it does wrong. There
are few things somewhat commend
able in the management. Its right-of-
way was all paid for in cash it has not
been sold out by the sheriff no secur-
ity holder has been squeezed out, nor
has the public subscribed or donated
anything to it.
& / am glad to have suggestions and
just comment, but do not think, nor
want others to think that l run it like
the Morris canal.

Warns Motorists as 60 Rules OF the
Road.

Reports of frequent accidents and
near accidents resulting from the
failure of motorists to observe the
ordinary rules of the road have
prompted Commissioner j. B. r..
Smith to call attention from time to
time to violations resulting in danger
to the travelling public.
In notice sent out last week Mr..
Smith said "The commissioner de-
sires particularly to call the attention
of the motoring public to the rules Of
the road requiring vehicles moving be-
hind another vehicle, approaching a
third moving in the opposite direction
to wait for the third to pass. Much
danger to life and property is created
by violators Of this rule. 1t is earn
estly hoped that all motorists will see
that this rule is obeyed"

Montclair IL. X. improvements not As
sured.
According to President Truesdale,
Montclairites have no conception as to
the amount Of money the Lackawanna
Railroad intends to spend on the i'm
provements to the Montclair terminal.
1t was reported that the cost to the
railroad would be in the neighborhood
of 81 100000. Presiden Truesdale

anything near this amount, and that
nothing will be done in the matter of

sex division until the Montclair town
authorities grant certain concessions
which the railroad company has re-
quested.

The old Harbor hotel was the first
building Of any consequence ever built
in Indiana Harbor. 1t has passed
through a number of vicissitudes,
changing hands a number of times. but
being used throughout its career as a
hotel. Captain Fredericks was the
original proprietor and Thomas O'Con-

Mr.. O'Connell was first in partnership
with Mat Sternberg. who withdrew to
open a place of his own. after which
Mr.. O'Connell conducted the place
alone. Dave Mitchell and his wife were
the latest proprietors. and 1t was dur

For some time there was talk of re.
modelling the structure. but this idea
has finally been abandoned and the ar.

80 Years Success
Kaufman & Wolf Offer a
Remedy for Catarrh. The
Medicine Costs Nothing
IF IT. Fails

When medicine effects a successful
treatment in very large majority of
cases, and when we offer that medicine
on our own personal guarantee that it
will cost the user nothing ii 1t does not
completely relieve catarrh, it is only
reasonable that people should believe
US, or at least put our claim to a prac-
teal test when we take all the risk
These are facts which we want the
people to substantiate. We want them
to try Rexall Mucu-Tone, medicine
prepared from a prescription of
physician with whom catarrh was
speciality, and who has a record of thir-
ty years of enviable success to his
record.
We receive more good reports about
Rexali Mueu-Tone than we do of all
other catarrh remedies sold In our
store, and If more people only knew
what thoroughly dependable remedy
! Rexall Mucu-Tone is. it would be the
only catarrh remedy we would have
any demand for.
Rexall Mucu-Tone is quickly absorbed
and by its therapeutic effect tends TO
disinfect and cleanse the entire mucous
membreneous tract, to destroy and re-
move the parasites which injure the
membraneous tissues. to soothe the ir-
ritation and heal the soreness. stop the
| mucous discharge, build up strong,
healthy tissue and relieve the blood
and system of diseased matter. Its in
! fuence is toward stimulating the muco-
cells. aiding digestion and improving
nutrition until the whole body vibrates
with healthy activity. In a compare
lively short time it brings about q
noticeable gain IN weight. strength
good color and feeling of bouyancy.
We urge you to try ssexan Mucu-
Tone. beginning a treatment today. Al
any time you are not satisfied. simply
come and tell us, and we will quickly
return your money without question Of

the interior arrangements of the
structure, which had been accepted by
Judge Gary, had not been decided upon
completely but that plans would soon
be ready to submit to him for approval.
Everything possible is being done to
push the work as rapidly as possible
so that the construction work can be
started as soon as weather opens UP in
the spring.
So rapid have the changes been in
theinterior arrangements and equip
ment of the Y. M. C. A. buildings that
there Is hardly a building that can be
taken as perfect model with all of the
improvements installed. This, however,
may be accomplished in the Gary plans
1t Is hoped that it will be possible to
make the Gary building the model of
the country.
