HE A MADE GOOD.

The Montana statutes having desiR'
mated the first Monday In March as
the date upon which the two.yesr
terms of county treasurers shall end,
Mr.. L. o. Hudson, who has just COM
pleted Two terms as treasurer OF Chou.
teau county and consequently wss not
eligible for reelection. retires from
ONCE on that date. His record as
county treasurer, In the opinion OF the
River Press, calls for special mention
and commend alton. .
During Mr.. Hudson's incumbency,
the off airs of the county t%reasurer's
Office have been conducted upon what
10 known as thel "Chouteau county
plsu," the principal feature OF which
is an arrangementNb by which interest
upon public funds in his custody is
collected from repositories and cred
tied to the taxpayers-the real owners
of such funds. This plan vas initial.
ed during the local political campaign
of 1906, when candid ates for the Office
of county treasurer were invited to
sign q pledge to the effect that, in the
event of their election, they would COL
lect interest upon public money and
deposit such interest in the county
treasury.
This pledge wasimadeiby Mr.. Hud-
son, who was the democratic candi-
date for county treasurer at that time,
and it gives thislnewspaper the great
est pleasure to announce that he has
''made good" His first term as
county treasurer was followed by re.
election, and during HE four years in
Office, Mr.. Hudson has collected and
placed to the credit of Chouteau
county Taxpayers q sum amounting
to about $12,O 600 as interest from
public funds temporarily under hit
management during that time. Al
his official salary during the two
terms vas 81, 500 per snnum, this in
terest money more than offsets tina
item of county expense.
Campaign pledges by politica
candidates are 80 often unredeem

OLD GAS COMPANY FIGHTS
FRANCHISE GRANT TO NEW,
Shrewsbury Township Acquires
a Plethora of IlluminatOrs.
Especial to the Newark start


TRENTON, Feb. 15.-At a hearing
before the Public Utility Commission
yesterday on the application of the
Atlantic Highlands Gas Company for
the approval of an ordinance passed by
the Township of Shrewsbury, giving
the company a franchise to operate in
that municipality, the question arose
whether the commissioner should lend
assistance in maintaining a monopoly
by Withholding its approval of a fran
chise from a company which was seek
ing to compete with n already estab-
lished.
The approval of the ordinance was
opposed by representatives of the Con-
%solidated Gas Company. which is now
operating a gas plant in the Township
of Shrewsbury. The latter claims that
before next May, the Consolidated
Company will have completed the lay
ing of pipes over all the territory pro-
posed by the new company. On this
ground the Consolidated Company in
sisted that the approval of the board
would amount to the duplication of a
franchise.
Counsel for the new company showed
that the territory where the new COM
pany intends to lay pipes is now with
out gas, and the withholding of ap-
prevail at this time would be equiva-
lent to the approval of a monopoly.
It was also pointed out by counsel for
the new company that the old CON-
pany never made any effort to lay pipes
in the new territory until after the
new company was formed and was
granted a franchise by the township,
and a of this he felt the board
should approve the franchise. Decision
was reserved.

GOODNESS BETWEEN
"VAMPH" DURING FIRE.
Friendship Hose Soaks Company
That Beat II.

HOBOKEN, Feb. 15.-Members of
Friendship Hose Company, of West
Hoboken, were called out yesterday for
"A fire across the towns boundary line
in the clubhouse of the National Ath-
letic Association in Robin street, North
Bergen. Although a company of North
Bergen vamps won the race to the
blaze, the West Hoboken flremen got
first water on the burning building ana
the home smoke-eaters were peeyed.
AS soon as they coupled onto a ny
drant, the North Bergen men pointed
the nozzle of their hose at the West
Hoboken hremen ard let her go. The
stream lifted half a dozen men of their
feet and sent them sprawling. h
splash of the water on helmets and In
the backs Of necks drowned out the
flood of sizzling m and nobody
could subsequently remember exactly
what was said during the excitement,
When the surprised West Hoboken
yamps got out of the range of the cold
stream they decided not to help out
their North Bergen neighbors n
longer and reeled up their hose. Then
orders were given by Fire Chief Am
brose to hike back to West Hoboken,
and the North Bergen men were left
alone to fight their own fire. The job
was too much for three home COM
panies n the building was destroyed.
The loss was placed at $1,000.
1t is probable that the West Hoboken
Town Council win issue orders that
hereafter all West Hoboken firemen
must shiny on their own side OF the
boundary line and must not go to
blazes In North Bergen.

CATARRH OF THE M
A Pleasant, Simple, But Safe and
Effectual Cure For 1t.

Catarrh of the stomach has long been
considered the next thing to incurable,
The usual symptoms are a full or bloat-
ing sensation after eating, accompanied
sometimes with our or watery risings.
n formation of gases, causing pressure
on the heart and lungs and difficult
breathing, headaches, tickle appetite,
nervousness and a general played-out,
languid feeling
There is often a foul taste in tho
mouth, coated tongue, and IL the in
terror of the stomach could be seen 1t
would show a Shiny. fnfiamed condi-
ton.
The cure for this common and obsti-
nate trouble is found in a treatment
which causes the food to be readily,
thoroughly digested before 1t has time
to ferment and irritate the delicate mu-
cous surfaces of the stomach. To Sc
cure a prompt and healthy digestion
is the one necessary thing to do, and
when normal digestion Is secured the
catarrhal condition will have disap-
peared.
According to DR.. Harlanson, the SAT-
est and best treatment is to use after
zach meal a tablet, composed of Dias-
tase. Aseptic Pepsin, a little Nux, Gold
en- Seal and fruit acids. These tablets
can now be found at all drug stores
under the name of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets, and not being a patent medi-
cine can be used with perfect safety
and assurance that healthy appetite
and thorough digestion will follow their
regular use after meals
The plan of dieting is simply another
49, for OF rIa finn and fhp 1Tua Of
par foods and new-fangled break
fast foods simply makes matters worse,
as any dyspeptic who has tried them
knows.
As DIR. Bennett say the only reason
I can imagine why Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets are not universally used by
everybody who is troubled In n way
with poor digestion is because many
people seem to think that because a
medicine is advertised or is sold in
drug stores or is protected by a trade
mark it must be a humbug, whereas as
a matter of truth any druggist who is
observant knows that Stuart's Dys.
pepsia Tablets have cured more people
of catarrh of the stomach, indigestion,
heartburn, heart trouble. nervous pros
tration and rundown condition gen.
orally than all the patent medicines
and doctors prescriptions for stomach
trouble combined.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is the
safest preparation as we'll as the SIM
plest and most convenient remedy for
any form of indigestion. catarrh of tho
stomach, biliousness. sour stomach,
heartburn n bloating after meals.

THIEVES ROB WHOLE

scarcity today, the result Of what is
thought to have been q systematic
theft at the hands of a ban of night
providers.
With few exceptions, every home in
the borough was visited about mid
night and the overshoes carried away
It is an established custom of many
years through the country districts
that on entering a house rubbers are
left on the porch. That the thieves
possess a sense OF humor is shown by
the fact that at the homes where three
or four pair were stolen they invaria-
bly, left a single rubber to wait the
coming of the respective number Of

EDGE LIABILITY
BILL TOO DRASTIC.
SAY OPPONENTS
Manufacturers and Newark
Board of Trade Deprecate
Measure as Unfair.
rErom a stan Correspondent

TRENTON, Feb. 15.-The Edge en-
ployers' liability bill, known as Senate
bill No. q, was vigorously attacked at
the hearing late yesterday before tho
Senate committee on corporations. The
opposition to the measure came from
manufacturers from all sections of the
State, and the Newark Board of Trade
characterized the bill as being unfair,
unjust and lneauitable to employers of
labor" The proposed law, on the other
hand, meets with the approval Of many
labor men.
The bill Is the one favored by
the commission named by former Gov
n Fort to make suggestions regard
ing what should be embodied in such
q measure
Senate Gallery Packed.
The gallery of the Senate chamber
wes packed and IN the gathering were
many laboring men. The manufac-
tureTs said that they did not oppose
an employers liability bill and that
they thought the time had come when
there should be protection for both the
laboring man and the employer. They
thought, however, that the Edge bill
was too drastic and that it would be
detrimental not only to their interests
but to the interests of the working
men.
During the hearing many references
were made to the bill being prepared
by the Newark Board of Trade. This
is a substitute measure. 1t is the in
tention OF the Newark Board of Trade
to get Governor Wilson to o. K. the
bill before it is introduced. A confer
ence between Governor Wilson and
members of the Newark board on the
proposed measure will be held next
Friday in this city.
Among those who spoke against the
bill were William ]. Foster, of Trenton,
president OF the New Jersey Manufac-
turers' Association; Harry Meyers, of
P~assaic: P. H. Covert, of Jersey City:
Peter S. Van Kirk, of Paterson: M.
Burlirgstein, of Hoboken, and James

WANTS PENNSYLVANIA
TO RESTORE CROSSING.
Especial to the Newark star

TRENTON, Feb. 16.-Thomas A. Per
rine. Of Spottswood, has filed a com
plant against the Pennsylvania Rail-
road Company with the Public Utility
Commission, in which he alleges that
the railroad company has closed a right
of way which has been open for over
sixty years.
Mr.. Perrine says the right of way is
located at Spottswood and was used by
him and others as a means of traffic
until the company recently tore up the
crossing and has left 1t in such a con-
dillon hat 1t can no longer be used
for ira f1c. He asks the commission
to compel the company to restore the
crossing.
