Tact of keeping faith with the public.
He regretted the expenditure of the
money, but the ordinance called for
this work to be complete, and in his
opinion, the sentiment of the tax pay
ing public was overwhelmingly in
favor OF it, and he did not want to
take any chances with the State Board
of Health condemning the park and
depriving the public of the pleasures
of the place because they took the
water supply from a point that was
considered doubtful.
President Milford asked if any citi-
zens present desired to be heard on
the subject. Councilman-elect, John
NJ. Laning, addressed council by say
ing that in his meeting with the pub
lie, prior to election, that he found the
sentiment to be entirely in favor of
the Northwest Passage project, and
felt that the question was beyond the
fact of the actual financial cost of the
work, but was rather a factor OF
safety, and unless the water was taken
from the purest point possible he did
mot believe the citizens would be con-
tent. He was absolutely committed to
the plan of taking the water from the
Northwest Passage.
John f. Meyers, F. w. c. Meyers
and Leroy w. Loder each added their
endorsement to the plan of taking the
water from the Northwest Passage
There was no expression 0f senti-
ment from the assembled citizens
'against the passage of the Whitaker
motion. From the standpoint of the
members of council, each member has
his own honest convictions regarding
the subject, and voted accordingly.
The vote on the Whitaker motion to
award the contract to A. H. Lupton
was as follows:
In the irmatiye-Mulford, John
son, Whitaker and Stevenson.
In the Whipple, Smalley
and Ogden.
The contract was declared awarded
to Mr.. Lupton and the Mayor and City
Clerk were authorized to execute it
as soon as approved The engineer
was also directed to have the material
assembled on the ground at once in
order that the work may proceed with
the quickest possible despatch.

ARRESTED UPON
FALSE CHARGE

A hearing was attempted to be given
before Justice Frank J. Lore to Walter
Loper yesterday afternoon on charge
of forgery. The complaint was made
by E. Leonard Ayars, upon whom two
checks of $5 each had been discovered
to have been passed.
Leroy w. Loder appeared for Lop-
er.
Mr.. Ayars was sworn and declared
the checks to be forgeries When
asked why he suspicioned Walter L4op-
er, he said it was from description
given by Mary Barr, who rs employed
in the store where The check was
passed. She SAID she received two
checks of Mr.. 5Ayars that week, one
of which was presented by colored
man. When she was called and sworn
she said the man who presented the
check had red hair, and she further
said that the check presented by the
colored man was good, but later she
said she could not say which check
it was she got from the colored man.
She could not identify Walter Loper
as the man who passed the check on
her.
Mr.. Rovner, sworn, said he had new
er seen Mr.. Loper before and he was
not the man who passed the check.
There being no evidence to connect
Mr.. Loper with the checks, he was
discharged, it being assumed that his
endorsement on one of them was also
a forgery.

seemed to be exercised The contest
for the Speakership, the main ques-
ton at issue, narrowed down to a
fight between Taylor, who had the
backing of the Smith men, and
Charles O'Connor Hennessy, of Ber-
gen, Governor Wilson's choice for the
place. Taylor won by a vote of 26
to %.
The fight against Hennessy was di-
rected in person by James r. Nugent,
lieutenant of Smith, and the inveter-
ate enemy of Wilson.
There was almost a fist fight in the
corridors between Joseph p. Tumulty,
secretary to Governor Wilson, and As
semblyman Martin, of Hudson. Tu-
multy was assisting in directing the
fight for the Governor in the organiza-
ton of the Assembly, when Martin
met him. Warm words ensued. Mar
tin accused Tumulty of acting incon-
sistentfy. This Tumulty denied, and
declared that the Governor would
never consent to Martin being given
place in the Assembly slate of Off
GERS. Tumulty started to take off his
coat for round of fisticuffs, and for
a moment things looked squally,
Friends of both men interfered, how
ever, and the incident was closed, but
a bitter feeling among the factions
remains.
Egan, of Hudson, candidate for
floor leader, announced he would
withdraw in favor of Marshall, of
Mercer, if Essex would switch to Hen
messy. After comforting with Nugent
the IL Essex men refused to do this.
The candidate on the Taylor ticket for
floor leader was Martin, but the lieu
tenants of the Governor declared they
would go to defeat with Hennessy
rather than accept Martin or give him
anything.
A side light on the early morning
fight was the activity of Comptroller
Edwards in asking that the question
OF selecting both State Treasurer
and a State Comptroller be made a
caucus matter. 1t was not mentioned
in the caucus, and possibly because
State Chairman Grosscup positively

Hot Time in the Democratic

Trenton, Dec. 3.-Featured by a po-
litical scramble and warm arguments
between supporters of Governor Will

the Democratic majority of that
branch of the Legislature held their
caucus today and selected Assembly
man Leon r. Taylor, of Monmouth, as
their choice for Speaker of the House,

With entire harmony, and with more
dignity than the House members, the

tions, and named Senator James F.
Fielder, of Hudson, as their nominee
for President of the Senate. Senator

contract for the laying of the line to
the Northwest Passage.
Alfred II. Lupton, of Bridgeton. was
awarded the contract for $10,4S2. 90

do not know what's ailing thern-until the
trouble becomes serious. Some trihng af-
fection may run into the dread diabetes,
dropsy or Bright's disease before one realizes
there's anything wrong with his kidneys.
Usually the most noticeable symptoms
which first appear are far from the seat of
nature of his ailmcnt. Dull headaches or
nervousness, for instance, he never thinks of
as signs of diseased kidneys.
Even the aching back and sides, rheuma-
tism, pains or twitching in groins or limbs,
sore, inflamed muscles, he may consider in
dicatons of some other trouble. Unnaturally
colored or cloudy urine, too frequent or too
scanty urination, burning sensation, are of
course readily recognized as symptoms of
such disorders.

character of these ailments, if you suspect
your kidneys are diseased, lose no time in

For the Child

The careful mother. who watches close

bility and a dozen and one similar evil
dences OF physical disorder.

the child a teaspoonful of DIR. CaldwelPs
Syrup Pepsin at night on retiring and
repeat the dose the following night IL

be needed. You will find that the child
will recover it's accustomed good spirits

pied in the winter and the extra work
is more than justified when hay is
worth $40 per ton, concentrates SIS
to $50 and straw S. to $40.
The following plan was employed
one winter on our home farm when
feeds were scarce and high priced.
The feeds available were limited
quantities of wheat, oat, barley and
pea straw, a goodly quantity of corn
fodder and roots and very limited
amount of grain. All coarse fodder
was run through the cutting box
dropping into feed room Is feet
square and nine feet high. as follows:
A small load of corn fodder would be
cut first and spread on the floor fol
lowed by thin layer of pulped roots
followed by small load Of cut
straw and then a thin layer OF meal
on which was put layer OF hay.
These layers were then moistened
with water supplied by hose from
the barn tank. Succeeding layers
were placed upon these in order till
the feed room was filled. This feed
was consumed with great relish and
even more so after it had begun to
heat a little. There was absolutely
no waste Of feed and the cattle. num-
bering about 60 head old and young,
came out in good shape in the spring.
1t required two half-days per week to
prepare the feed, the power being
procured from an oldfashioned sweep
power, now replaced by the more con-
venient steam or gas engines. The
litter used was sawdust procured from
a nearby mill. The extra labor in.
volved in thus preparing the feed was
justified in utilizing every available
rough scrap as market quotations
were ranging about the prices here
tofore given.
Ordinarily the farmer does not have
the variety of rough feeds used in the
illustration. Every farmer with live
stock to winter over should have sill
age or roots, or even both. There
are very few farmers who do not have
time in winter to prepare the coarse
crop products and render them more
palatable and nourishing for their
stock. Those caught by the serious
situation of the present season should
not in the future neglect to provide
succulence to be fed with the straw
and corn stalks as an emergency ra'
ton.
