Black Hand Threat To The Founder
 Of Asbury Park

Asbury Park, N. J., Aug. 9-A Black Hand letter warning him to cease his persecution of the beer ark men was received yesterday by James A. Bradley, the aged founder of Asbury Park. People here and in Neptune Township adjoining are fearful that some harm may come to Mr. Bradley, though he is the calmest man aRong them. In the afternoon he caused to be published in the local newspaper a spirited reply to the beer ark men, in both Italian and English, reiterating his determination to continue his fight against them.
 Beer arks are wagons. purporting merely to deliver beer at homes where it has been ordered. legal proceed ing, but actually vehicles for the ped ding of beer through dry town ships. The arks, all of which are driven by Italians, have been operat- ing in Neptune Township, and MT. Bradley has incurred the ennity of the men engaged in this peddling by his strong support of the Neptune au- thorities in their efforts to drive the arks out. Here is MT. Bradley's re- ply to the Black Hand letter:
 Beer Ark Pirates: I au in receipt of your letter. I am not prosecuting any honorable business man. The beer ark pirates are in an unlawful DuSlnoSS, ana IL IS Iily OuCy dS d ldW- abiding citizen to try and bring them to justice. have placed your letter in the hands of the police, and If you are discovered you will be punished according to law.
 eff your threat is carried out I hereby instruct my executors to spend some of my hard-earned money to have you hanged or electrocuted, ac- cording to the laws of New Jersey. I will continue to follow up the beer ark pirates and will place in the hands of Licensed Inspector Fred E.. Hurley of Neptune Township a fund to hire detectives to hunt you down. I here repeat what I have said before and that Is, the beer ark pirates do more harm than an equal number of thieves
 MT. Bradley signed his reply ''J. A. Bradley" and now declares he is con- tent to await move from his oppon- ents. Beyond turning the letter over to the police he has taken no steps to protect himself from the threatened vengeance. What form this may be expected to take, presuming that the authors of the letter carry out their threat, is unknown, as the letter, writ ten in Italian, is somewhat vague in its wording. It reads:
 "Mr. Bradley: If you do not stop prosecuting the merchants of beer, you will know quick the power of the Black Hand But it is too late.

 Out By Boat

New Haven. Aug. 9.-Crushed to death beneath the sloop on board which he had been spending much of his time during the summer and on which he was working washing the boat down George Herman Schlis- sel of 167 West street, very promi- nently known German resident of this city, was found dead in the mud on the bank of the Quinnipiac river yes- terday afternoon. Mrs. Lane of 838 Quinnipiac avenue, with whom Schiis- sel took his meals during the summer and in the rear of whose house the accident occurred, found the dead body. Mrs. Lane went out to see why Schlissel did not come to his supper about G. o'clock last evening. Schlissel owned the sloop, which he used to make fishing trips on.
 Schlissel was well known among the Germans around the city and was at one time the turn master at the New Haven Turn Verein. Formerly he ran school of gymnastics here of his own and was for some timesan in- structOr in the Y M C. A.

RECEPTION TO GARIBALDL
Italian Societies Plan Big Time on
 Visit to New Haven Saturday.

New Haven, Aug. s.-Fifty Italian societies will welcome General Guis- eppi Garibaldi when he comes to this city second time Saturday, Aug, 12, to address the Italian working men on their problems. The general has been engaged as a civil engineer in the canal zone and has an intimate knowledge of the needs of his labor ing countrymen. He has been in strumental in founding many clubs for the betterment of the Italian la- borers and his message to his fellow men in this city will doubtless be re- ceived with enthusiastic acclaim by all who hear him.
 Monday at meeting of the 100 delegates from the United Italian societies in San Carlino hall it was unanimously decided to give a popu- lar reception to Garibaldi. A recep- ton committee was elected as fol- lows: A. Mignone, chairman; G. Pu- sani. secretary; l.. c. Furcolo, treas urer; and Dr. V. D'Elia, orator of the day.

A Liberal Offer.
We Guarantee to Relieve Dyspep-
sia. If We Fail the Medi-
cine Costs Nothing.

To unquestionably prove to
the people that indigestion and
dyspepsia can be permanently
relieved and that Rexall Dyspep-
sia Tablets will bring about this
result, we will furnish the medi-
cine absolutely free if it fails
to give satisfaction to any one
using it.
The remarkable success of
Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets is due
to the high degree of scientific
skill used in devising their for
mula as we'll as to the care ex-
ercised in their manufacture,
whereby the well.known proper
ties of Bismuth-Subnitrate and
Pepsin have been combined with
Carminatives and other agents.
Bismuth-Subnitrate and Pepsin
are constantly employed and rec
ognized by the entire medical
profession as invaluable in the
treatment of indigestion and dys-
pepsia.
The Pepsin used in Rexall
Dyspepsia Tablets is carefully
prepared so as to develop its
greatest efficiency. Pepsin sup
plies to the digestive apparatus
one of the most important ele-
meuts of the digestive fluid.
Without it the digestion and as
similation of food are impossible.
The Carminatives possess prop
critics which aid in relieving the
disturbances and pain caused by
undigested food. This combina-
tion of these ingredients makes
a remedy invaluable for the COM
plete relief of indigestion and
dyspepsia.
We are so certain of this that
we urge you to try Rexall Dys-
pepsia Tablets on our own per-

Booster Day.
November 4th viii be Booster
Day in Baxter Springs.

Baxter Springs next Booster
Day will be held Saturday, Nov.
4. Make your arrangements to
be here at that time. There
will be something doing, and it
will be of interest to you, every
bit of it.
By that time the farmer will
be up with his farm work, and
he can make that day a sort of
holiday, to meet his friends,
talk crops and live stock, and
have a general good time. It
will also be a good day for the
good wife to lay in the family
supply of clothing. shoes, under
wear, etc. It will be a fine time
for the man of the house to buy
his wife the new furniture and
stoves he has been promising
her, and it will be the time to
begin to look over the stocks
with a Christmas thought in
mind. The stocks of the Baxter
merchants were never more COM
plete and better than they will
be at that time, and if you are
going to want anything from a
set of harness to a kitchen cab
met, or clothing, or dry goods,
or groceries, or shoes, that will
be a mighty good time to get it
or make a contract for it.
The prize list is going to be
good one, too. Every prize will
be worth coming after, and some
of them will be very nice indeed.
Don't forget that there will be
a nice rest room for ladies and
children who will of course get
tired, but there will also be a
place for the registration of those
who live outside the corporate
limits.
No matter whatever else you
forget, do not forget to come to
Baxter Springs on Booster Day,
Saturday, Nov. 4.
