MOST CERTAIN WAY
To END BAD colo
Surely Breaks the Most Severe
Cold and Ends Grippe Misery
in Just a Few Hours.


1t is a positive fact that a dose of
Pape's Cold Compound taken every
two hours until three consecutive
doses are taken will cure Grippe or
break up the most severe cold. either
in the head, chest, back, stomach or
limbs.
You distinctly feel the old break
ing and all the disagreeable grippe
symptoms leaving after the very first
dose. 1t promptly ends the most mis-
cradle headache. dizziness, head and
nose stuffed up. feverishness. sneezIng,
sore throat, running OF the nose. mu~
cous catarrhal discharges. soreness,
stiffness and rheumatic twinges.
Pape's cold Compound is the result
Of three years research at a cost of
more than fifty thousand dollars and
contains no quinine, which we have
~conclusively demonstrated Is not eff
fective in the treatment of colds or
grippe.
Take this harmless compound as
directed, with the knowledge that there
is no other medicine made anywhere
else in the world which will cure your
cold or end Grippe misery as promptly
and without any other assistance or
bad after effects as a 25-cent package
of Pape's Cold Compound, which any
druggist in the world can supply.

LABORERs DIG UP
OLD TOMBsTONEs
One, Found on Site of STAR
Building, Placed 200
Years Ago.

Two headstones with ancient dates
erected to the memory of early resi-
dents OF this section were unearthed
IN the old b~urying ground In Branford
place by the laborers engaged in ex-
e~avating for the foundation of the new
STAR building. Both were of brown
sandstone, and a part of a third was
OF similar material.
The one found today was erected POS
years age and the n found yesterday
l2S years ago. Besides the stones some
bones were also found. and the diggers
believe they may be part of the skele-
ton of the ones in whose honor the
stones were erected.
The sculptor apparently was a be-
lever in the abbreviated spelling sys-
tenn. for some of the words were short
several letters. The discovery was
about six feet below the surface.
The stone which was found today
bore this inscription: Mary daur of
Pabez & Phebe Baldwin did Jan. 10
1904 Aged 2 years and 2 months. All
Mary dau of Dan who Agu IA ITO Aged
l year 4 months IA days"
The stone dug up yesterday was in
memory of Sarah Babbeock, who de-
parted this life December 20. 1884, in
the 87th year of her age.

''men who would make good jurors
it is understood that there are sew
eral other matters which are to be
brought to the attention # he Supreme
Court which Senator Gebhardt Will
have an opportunity to explain to de-
fend his right to a license to practise
as an attorney or counJellor-at-law In
the State of New Jersey.
1t was pointed out that the main
evidence against Gebhardt was docu-
mentary, In the form of the letter ad-
dressed to Green, the original list of
forty-five names and the envelope post
marked Clinton. N. j, all of which. 1t
is said. is the business stationery used
by Gebhardt In his offices at Clinton
and Jersey City and which Is now in
evidence.
According To Henry NJ. Voorhees,, edi-
tor of the Observation-Disclosures. the
suggestion of the James Of forty-tive
jurymen out of a possible panel of for
ty-eight, when Gebhardt was an attor-
ney of record in four out Of five Su-
preme Court cases to be tried at that
term, was only one of the reasons
upon which the motion was based.
Other afiidavits, however, are known
TO be in existence and 1t Is intimated
that they may be used against the
Hunterdon Senator.
Former Sheriff Green smiled when
asked about the Gebhardt letter.
II don't know much about the uf-
fair" said Green, as he pounded away
at n work bench he was constructing
in his blacksmith shop. u have my
health back and I'm going back to
my old trade.
Il read the Gebhardt letter and
handed il over to my deputy, Frank
Rarkley, of Lambertyllle, and l sup
posed it had been destroyed long ago.
None of those names ever was used.
| never allowed any one to suggest
names for private interests when 7 was
selecting juryrnen and / didn't care
whether | selected Republicans or
Democrats so long as my men were
clean, honest fellows.
''Of course l paid no attention to the
Gebhardt list. although / think Geb-
hardt helped to elect me. He gave me
a slip once before with two names on
it for jurymen and / tore the slip up.
I'm not interested in the case half
as much as l am in getting this new
place opened up and ready for bust
ness"
Those indicted at a recent session of
the grand jury are, it Is under
stood, Henry M. Voorhees,. a Demo-
cratic opponent of Gebhardt: John 4.
Force and George X. Large. Republi-
cans, and ex-Freeholder Morris p.
Eiek, an anti-Gebhardt Democrat.
Counsellor George K. Large has just
been appointed by Chancellor Mahlon
Pitney as a special master in Court Of
Chancery.
The action of Gebhardt in holding the
resignation of Prosecutor Chamberlain
for more than a month, instead of
turning 1t over to the Governor, has
also created a lot of comment.
1t has raised a question OF salary
which the taxpayers are wondering
about.
Since the resignation was moi turned
in and to all appearances Mr.. Chamber
ain is still prosecutor, Mr.. Able, the
temporary prosecutor appointed by the
court, has beer drawing a salary also.
II is said that If Gebhardt had
handed in the resignation when he got
it there would be no question about
paying two salaries.
