GOLD IN

FOR CHICKS

Prospectors, attention. There is gold
in Connecticut. Gold in such quanti-
ties that the chickens eat it instead
of corn and other chicken food,
Or. Arthur NJ. Edwards, of 42S Fourth
avenue. this city, professor in Columbia
University, speaking of Connecticut
gold, today said:
ut will pay to look for it and per-
haps it will be found in paying guam

So therel who knows but what the
gold boom of '49 or the Klondike boom
is to be repeated
The professor was prompted to de-
clare that it might pay to go prospect
ing i'll Connecticut by the announce
ment in the newspapers that a gold
nugget, found in chicken crop, is
on exhibition in Seymour, Conn.
1t was found in the crop of a chicken
skilled in local restaurant. This is
what Dr. Edwards has to say about it
Five years ago I was at Milton

came to me with small nugget Of
gold. which Mrs. Hurley had gotten
from the crop of chicken which she

FATAL AUTO
ACCIDENT is
ONLY MYTH

Convinced that there is no dead man
lying IN the streets of the Oranges,
and no deserted automobile to look for.
the police, after diligently searching
from early last night until this after
noon for the car and the body. have
come to the conclusion that their work
has been vain and that the report Of
an excited man that he had killed a
pedestrian emanated from one tempo
rarilY insane or intoxicated. or, per-
haps, q practical joker.
The police think that the "A. b
North" who told Ticket Seller John n
Van Vie, at the Brick Church station
East Orange. that he had killed o man
with his automobile was not alto
gether in his right mind.
The belief of the police that the man
was irresponsible is strengthened by
Arthur Butz who is in charge Of the
newsstand at the Brick Church sta
ton and who rode on the train with
the mysterious North" as far as
Newark. Butz said today that the man
entered the baggage car and began
talking to the passengers and the
brakeman He had them sign their
names on pad. and told the story of
the killing which took place two
hours ago. He seemed very nervous,
and smoked cigarettes continuously.
Butz said that the men in the baggage
car did not take the stranger seriously.
The first chapter OF the tale that be-
gins like one of the Sherlock Holmes
series was opened at the Brick Church
ata tim East Orange last Tie-ht when
an excited stranger rushed up to the
ticket agent. John N. Van VIE, showed

tween market towns and between the
principal cities and villages; that is,
to permanently improve the main
thoroughiares of travel, gradually ex-
tending the system from these main
lines to those of lesser Importance un-
til the whole country is covered with

Townships, in counties under the

~ system in no ways interferes with
that which an individual may do.
Good roads are cheaper than bad
ones. Last year $3,756.321.57 was
spent on the wagon roads OF this state
and it is a safe estimate that seventy.
FIVE per cent were spent in repairs
upon our common earth roads Com

than his term of office has expired and
his successor must learn the work at
the expense OF the township, when if
the old commissioner had been re-
elected, much of this extra expense
would be avoided and mistakes once
made would not be repeated so often
as they now are under the township
system.
In order to improve this system, it
will be readily seen that a larger unit
OF control must be obtained. Hence,
the district was advised, but this sys-
TEN is small, il any, improvement
over the already existing township
system and has met with little favor.
From the experience of the various
counties already under the county sys-

Sheep and lambs formed the to-

Pendleton had the honor of being the
only shippers during the past "a
hours.
Not only were the Pendleton men
the only shippers but they likewise
received an advance of about 10c
over recent quotations The stuff
was worth the money according to
the trade because the lambs were of
unusually fine quality. They were
sheared and averaged 81 pounds. The
sale was made at $40.
Sheep market in general is quoted
quite firm by the local trade while re-
cent arrivals have been somewhat
more liberal, the wants of the trade
have increased. Demand for NUT
ton Is increasing on account of its
low price and therefore this has stim-

Potatoes are being sold in the
Front street market at 81 per GENITAL,
