THAT ALEWA CONTRACT.

On Monday. April 30, the Blu ! e.
tin received communication from
a subscriber asking for information
regarding the Alewa road contract
and in order to get all the facts the
communication was sent to the Super
intendent of Public Works, so that he
could read it and give complete an
swor. The Superintendent stated to
the Bulletin reporter the reason
for the contract having been LEI fin
ally at price higher than that for
which first tenders had been called
and the prices obtained, but he did
not state why the specifications had
been changed so as to require n wider
road The communication and the
statement in reply to the subscribers
request were as follows:
ALEWA HEIGHTS ROAD
UNDER NEW SPECIFICATION
Editor Evening Bull letin:-
When the Superintendent of Pub
lie Works first called for bids on
Alewa Heights road, W. A. Hardy
put in bid, accompanied with
certified check, to build the 200
feet Of road for the sum of $5467,
or at rate of $500 per running
foot.
z. NJ. Pond at the same time
put an alternate bid to build the
1900 feet of upper road for S325
per foot and $2.25 for the 600 feet
of lower road.
Both bids we're thrown out
right away, with the excuse that
they were too high.
In yesterday mornings paper
noticed that the Alewa Heights
road contract had been awarded
to Comes & Co. for set price of
1851 per running foot.

superintendent Campbell when
seen as to this matter this
morning stated that the tenders
referred to in the letter were
in accordance with different
specifications. The contract let
to Comes & Co. for the present
work calls for wider and bet
ter road, new specifications
having been drawn up. Why
the specifications should be
changed after tenders had been
called and prices secured, is not
known.--Editor Bull etin.l
On the following day the Superin-
tendent of Public Works gave out an
interview in which he Is represented
as speaking of the Bulletin as
follows:
This is another evidence of
deliberate fabrication on the part
of the Bulletin. The innuendo con-
veyed In the note by the editor Is
false, and only in keeping with
the other attacks on me. The
plans and specifications for the
Alewa road we're prepared by the
County Engineer, and there were
no changes made in them"
1t appears from this that the Sup
erintendent Of Public Works immed-
lately jumps at the conclusion that
the Bulletin suggests a change
in the specifications after the final
contract was let, all of which II he
had taken the trouble TO read the com
munication carefully he must have
seen was entirely unjustiied. The
innuendo is purely Mr.. Campbells
imagination. The natural question of
the communication as to why, after
tenders had been called and rejected
because they were too high,
the contract was let under
the specifications changed so as to
give an apparently more expensive
road for Alewa Heights, has not YET
been answered. II was therefore, and
still is, necessary for the editor OF
the Bulletin to state that the
reason for the change Of specifications
was not known.
The Superintendent of Public
Works is evidently 80 overworket
that he can't read anything tina,
comes to him from the BulletiT
with an unbiased mind This is UNI
fortunate as II causes him to draw
swift and unjustifed conclusions
about himself and gives the impress
sion that he is suffering from fatu
lence of the brain.

DON'T SHOCK YOUR
LIVER WITH CAIOMEI
DOdsOn's Liyer-TOne Persuades 1t to
Work Naturally and Safely-No
Restrictions of Habits or Diet

If you have sick horse, you cannot
make him work by beating him, and
if you try it you are liable to ruin him
forever. It's the same way with your
liver. When it becomes torpid and
sluggish, you can take calomel and
whip it into action, but the calomel
will leave your body weaker and sicker
than ever. Calomel is a very powerful
chemical made from mercury
A perfect substitute for calomel that
has all of its medicinal properties with
none of its dangerous and uncertain
lfollow-ups, is Dodson's Liver-Tone.
The Court Pharmacy sells Dodsons S
Liver-Tone with the guarantee that if
you don't find it a perfect substitute
for calomel, this store will give your
money back. DOdson's Liver-Tone is a
true tonic for the liver, purely vege-
table. and with such pleasant taste
that it is no trouble to get children
to take it. 1t is absolutely impossible
for ii do anyone any harm, because il
simply persuades the liver to do what
| it ought to do-no more and no less.

SPRUNG A SENSATION
Mrs. Grace's Attorney Declares that
Grace shot Himself During
Scuffe With His Wife

Atlanta, Ga. Aug. 2.-Eugene H.
Grace was shot in a scuff1e with his
wife in their room during a quarrel
over the sale of some of Mrs. Grace's
property, according to Attorney
| Branch. who outlined yesterday the
defense's case TO the jury in the trial
| Of Mrs. Grace. He told the story with
dramatic earnestness.
Branch declared that Grace tried to
shoot his wife. after choking her. and
that during the scuffie which followed
the weapon discharged and the ball
entered his side.
The states theory that Grace was
shot during the night or early in the
morning is utterly untrue, and we will
prove that he was shot after II o'clock
in the morning; that he got up that
morning, wrote out a check and talk
ed over the telephone as late as 10
o'clock" declared Attorney Branch.
1T is ridiculous TO say that Mrs.
Grace tried to get rid of him for his
money. She had given him between
$4,000 and $4,000 in years time
and he was going to Philadelphia to
sell her property to get money for
himself when the shooting occurred.
Grace wanted TO get his wife out of
town. Mrs. Grace suspected he had
an gagement with another woman.
She accused him of it and she said she
was going to take back the power of
lattOrney she had given him TO sell her
property. Grace began scuffling with
her TO prevent her from taking the
documents. He began swearing at her
and threatening to kill her, grabbing
up his revolver at the same time. Mrs.
Grace grabbed Grace's hand in an ef-
Tort to protect himself, the revolver
discharged and Grace was shot
''Grace did not think at first that he
was badly wounded, and he made his
wife leave the house without calling a
physician, but first obtaining her
promise to say nothing about the ac-
cidental shooting. Those alibi letters
were written by Grace himself and his
wife knew nothing about that ma atter."

SHOULD PAY THEIR SHARE
Taxed, the burden on Each
Would he Easier

There are no less than forty states
ment of taxes supervised by either a
bord Of tax commissioners or by a
board of tax equaliZOrs, and the re-
ports that these supervisors make TO
their legislatures makes one believe
that they are doing good, and TO a
state is a good investment.
The report OF the Oregon state COM
mission says that in two years time
the tax assessment Of that state has
been increased $500, 900. In Wash
ingtOn the report says their ASSESS
ments in five years have been increased
$3.50, 600, 900, and in Michigan the re-
port reads Of an increase in assess
ments in one year OF $3.50. 100000. In
the state of Kansas they have assess
ed their intangible property, such as
money, mortgages, solvent accounts.
etc. in one year as much as the entire
assessment Of all property in this
state. This class of property Is pay
ing but very little taxes in this state.
Pennsylvania in the last sixty-four
years for state purposes has not col

TEDDY,S TOUGH TASK
ScylIa of White Supremacy and
Charybdis of Negro Ambition

Oyster Bay, y. Y, Aug. 2.-The at
Iitude of the national progressive party
toward negroes was stated at length
N a careful statement Colonel Roose-
Welt completed yesterday, and which
he will make public in a few days.
Neither of the old parties, Roose-
welt asserted, had met the negro ques-
ton fairly and honestly. The demo-
cratic party, he said, is openly against
the negro, and the republican party
had placed him on an artificial basis
so far as his relations with the party
are concerned.
The colonel declined to discuss the
policy proposed in his statement, but
said he was determined to do all in
his power to prevent a repetition of
the conditions which he said exist in
the south in the republican party.
The republican convention, at Chica-
go, Roosevelt said, illustrated this
point and showed how the republican
party had been ruined by the charac-
ter of its southern representation.
