JOKE is RIGHT

+ A good joke on Bert Sprague.
one of the popular clerks in Lowell
Bros. hardware store, is going
the rounds these days. 1t seems
that some good-hearted chap in the
city knew Bert's failing for mush-
rooms and having had extra good
luck one morning presented him
with mess for dinner, realizing
fully that the gift would be ap-
preciated-and it was. Bert placed
the mushrooms in pan, covered
them up in order to protect them
from the light, and went about his
work quite contended in the know
ledge that he was one of the few
men who would be enjoying for
their MONDAY meal. mess of
Golden Valley mushrooms-the
real, homegrown product. But,
To-! the future is an uncertainty.
Providence must have deemed it
unwise for such delicate food to
enter the robust stomach of Bert.
and in a roundabout way made
it impossible for the savory mush.

Paul, Minneapolis and Duluth have
agreed to aIdeal whereby this state
will be furnished exhibit space
without cost at the land show.
The show to be given under the
auspices Of the league is the only
one in the country which is not a
private enterprise and will be
managed in such a way a to fur
nish space for official exhibits.
At cost of ten thousand dol
lars the business interests of the
three Minnesota cities have bought
from the league $500 square feet
of preferred space at the show.
Each of the seven states will have
space of fifty feet long and ten
feet wide for their official exhibit.
The governor has been asked to
confer with officers of the league
in this state and secure the inter-
est of those necessary to put in an
exhibit which will be credit to
the state. Under this plan no one
community or city will have an
advantage over others in the state.
Any city, county or land company
desiring to make an independent
exhibit will be able to secure a
limited amount of space near the
state exhibit on reasonable terms,
but 1t is the desire of the league
officers for this state that the best
possible exhibit be made in the
name of the state, as it is from
such an exhibit that results are to
be obtained.
The seven states which are to
be thus represented are Washing
ton. Oregon, Idaho. Montana,
North and South Dakota and
Minnesota. No other states will
have exhibits, and Canadian exhi-
bits will be barred, the whole
idea of the show being IAN expo
sition by the seven states for the
benefit of the seven states alone. :"
North Dakota officers of the
league are John Bruegger of Will
liston and E. Y. Sarles Of Hills
boro. Inquiries about the North
Dakota exhibit should be addressed
to them, while information about
the show and space therein should
be addressed to Will A. Campbell,
St. Paul, MINI.

MAD DOG BITES MANY.


Terror Follows In Wake of Animal
Near MiddIetown, N. Y.
Middletown, N. Y, May 9.-Barking,
snarling and frothtng at the month a
mad dog ran amuck at Denton, near
this city, and spread terror over a
territory of over three miles. Scores
Of men, armed with guns, were hunt
ing the animal, but before it was
brought down It had bitten an old
man, a little girl, half a dozen dogs,
besides killing a dozen or more chick
ems.
Karl Richenback was burning brush
at Denton. Jabbing his pitchfork into
a pile of brush he disturbed the big
dog, which was lying underneath, and
it sprang out upon him. chewing one
leg in a terrible amer. Fighting the
brute off with a pitchfork he managed
to get away. 1'he mad dog then ran
to the home n Justice of the Peace
Kenny and killed a dozen chickens. A
mile farther on 1t entered the yard of
Clarence Seward, where Eta Garrison,
a ~fiye-year-old girl, was playing, at

and the valuable collie dog was van

SAYS STRONG
DECLINED JOB
Trenton Hears He Had Been
Offered Carssn's Place.

Trenton, May 9:-Theodore
Strong, former president of the
State Board of Assessors, long the
Republican leader of Middlesex
county, evidently intends to be free
from official cares henceforth. That
such is believed to be the case Is due
to the statement Of one Of his faith
full henchmen to the effect that al
though he was offered the position
as collector of the Port of Perth Am
boy, O held by Robert Carson, of
New Brunswick, he has declined to
accept it.
Mr.. Carson is holding the place on
what may be considered as borrowed
time. On account of the opposition
to his reappointment more than a
year ago, when his term expired,
former United States Senator kean
made no recommendation. 1t was
expected at that time that the Re
publicans would carry the state cleo
ton, hold control of the legislature
and Senator Kean would have an
other term in the United States SEN
ate. In that event 1t was expected,
Mr.. Carson would be recommended
for another term. The result was
different from what was anticipated.
Senator Kean failed to recommend
Mr.. Carson for reappointment and ne
is now holding his place with the ex-
o~ectation of being superseded any
time.
Strong Close to Briggs.
The successor to Mr.. Carson Will
be recommended by United States
Senator Briggs, of Trenton. 1t is
known that he and Strong have al
WAYS been regarded as warm friends.
Hence, the report that the place mad
been offered to Strong seems plaus-
ible. That he would not accept a
position paying five thousand dol
lars a year, with nominal duties, Is
a mystery to many of his acQualnt-
ances in Middlesex county, where he
has directed the affairs OF the Re
publican party so unsuccesstully Tor
several campaigns.
If Senator Strong adheres to his
determination not to accept the po-
sition of Collector of the Port of
Perth Amboy, there is a possibility
that ultimately Middlesex County
may lose the job. There is nothing
to hinder Briggs naming a man from
Monmouth county, should he so de-
sire. There are plenty of aspirants
for the place. Such. positions do not
go vpeggfng. -ert rs propupre, however,
that there may be a further confer
ence relative to the matter in the
near futur, and If the Middlesex
county warning factions can get to-
gether the place may still be held in
that county.

HOUSE PASSES
FREE LIST BILL
0na Socialist and "a Re-
publIcans Vote For it.

Washington, May 0.-At the conclu-
sion Of a ten hour session the house
Of representatives passed the Demo
cratic free list bill by a vote of 23O to
100. Twenty-four Republicans and
Representative Berger, the Socialist,
voted for the measure. The Republic
ans who sided with the Democrats on
the bill were Anderson of Minnesota,
Anthony of Kansas, Hanna and Hell
gesen Of North Dakota, Davis Of Min
n~esota, Hubbard of Iowa, jackson Of
Kansas, Kent of California, Kopp Of
Wisconsin, Lafferty, La Toilette and
Warburton of Washington, Ltndberg
of Minnesota, Lenroot of Wisconsin,
Madison of Kansas, Morgan Of Okla
homa, Miller of Minnesota, Morse of
Wisconsin, Murdoch of Kansas, Mel
son of Wisconsin, Roberts of Nevada
and STEVENSON and Holstead Of Min
nesota.
All of these, with the exception of
Hanna, are insurgents. The free list
bill now goes to the senate. 1t is the
general expectation that the bill will
be pigeonholed in the senate commit
tee on finance.

ton of the road committee Of the
board the company was given per-
mission to erect the poles.
Probation Officers Report.

officer, submitted his report to the
board for the months OF March and
April. The report showed that the
fines collected by the officer from
people under his charge amounted
to S63.25. The report was referred
to the finance committee.
Boards to Confer.
Director Hendricks appointed the
board as a committee of the whole to
confer with the members of the
Somerset county Board of Freehold
ers relative to advertising for bids
for the construction of the Franklin
Park and Kingston road, which is in
the two counties. The plans for the
road have been approved by the state

'Casearets' Splendid
for Elderly Folks
The rule for old people is-One Cas-
caret daily. The bowels, like
other muscles, grow less active
with age-They need help.

Most old people. must give to the
bowels some regu0 help, else they
suffer from constipation. The condi-
tion is perfectly natural. 1t is just
as natural as it is for old people to
walk slowly. For age is never SO
active as youth The muscles are
less elastic. And the bowels are
muscles. r
So all old people need Cascarets.
And most of them need them daily.
One might as well refuse to aid weak
eyes with glasses as to neglect this
gentle aid to weak bowels. The
Bowels must be kept active. This is
important at all ages, but never so
much as at sixty.
Age is not a. time for harsh phys
les. Youth may occasionally whip
the bowels into activity. But a lash
can't be used every day. What the
bowels of the old need is a gentle
and natural tonic. One that can be
constantly used without harm. And
there is no matter of choice here.
The only such tonic is Cascarets and
they cost only 10 cents per box.

LOOKED AFTER
Both New Jersey and New
York Hays Commissions.
Especial correspondence

Trenton, My with an Inter
state waterways Commission; a
harbor commission for New York,
acting Jointly with men from that
state; a Riparian Commission, and
finally with the Public Utility Com
mission having its powers enlarged
by the last act, the waterways of New
Jersey ought to be well taken care
of. Back of all these organizations
is Governor Wilson, the most pro-
gressive governor New Jersey has
had, and since he is deeply interest
ed in the welfare of the state, and
the upbuilding Of its institutions, it
is believed that much progress will
be made that will be of benefit to
the waterways while he is the chief
executive.
The improvement of the harbor OF
New York means much to New Jer-
sey. The Jerseymen who are on the
joint commission to consider the
matter have a great responsibility.
Any improvement of the New York
harbor must, of necessity, have its
effects upon all of the big cities of
northern New Jersey, aside from the
benefits to be derived from an in
crease in the commerce of the har-
Dor. AS far inland as Newark and
Passaic there is interest in the pro
posed improvement, since it is only
a question of time before the plans
for the Improvement of the Hacken-
sack meadows between Newark and
Jersey City must be carried out in
some form.
Governor Dix ON Record.
Governor Dix, of New York, has
gone on record as favoring a bigger
harbor for New York. 1t is evident
that the facilities of the port Of New
York must be increased materially,
else it will lose a lot of the com
merce it has at present. Besides,
with the increased size in the ocean
steamers, if the proper facilities can
not be furnished to dock them pro-
perly the traffic will be taken else
where.
There should be no conflict be
tween the federal and state authori-
ties with reference to the need for a
larger harbor. Too often the engi-
neers representing the War Depart
ment are apt to exercise a short
sighted policy in arriving at their
determinations in matters of this
sort. They should adopt a more
liberal policy. New York or New
Jersey does not wish to obstruct the
channel of the Hudson river, and it
would seem that the various i'm
provements contemplated might be
carried out without any danger of
this being done. The Jerseymen on
the joint commission will undoubted-
ly do their part, and aid the project
in any way that they can.
