Recorder John vanOrden got his au-
thority, as he was fined without any
witnesses appearing against him on
Monday morning when the learned
Judge levied the fine. He thought the
whole affair a joke at first until he
landed in the borough hall when the
serious part of the affair dawned on
him.
With a party Of friends Hoffman
visited South River on Saturday
night. He was on his way home
when Peter Olchaskey, driving a
closed car, ordered him to stop. HoR-
man turned into a side street. The
car followed and Olchaskey jumped
from the machine and asked Hoff-
man for his drivers license. When
this was produced he was asked by
the same party for his registration
card. This he did not have. About
this time two policemen leaped from
the car and placed him under arrest,
one of them being Officer Mead.
Hoffman was ordered to appear at
borough hall Sunday morning when
q charge of reckless driving was
lodged against him by the Judge. AS
the officers did not appear against
him, Recorder VanOrden postponed
the case until Monday and at this
hearing the officers again failed to
appear to press the complaint that
had been changed to driving with
out a registration card"
Hoffman intends to appear before
the borough council with q complaint
against the wild-west methods Of the
police.

for Aviator Zimmerman to circle

When 1t was sufficiently light the

SpOtsWoOd Boy Scouts Have
Services at Reformed Church

SPOTSWOOD, Sept. ga service
arranged for the benefit of the Spots
wood Troop, Boy Scouts, by the Rev.
Charles Bloodgood at the Reformed
church on Sunday night was one of
the greatest interest and profit to the
boys, who turned out in their full
strength under the leadership of their
master, Charles DeVoe. The boys
marched into the edihce bearing their
colors and the American flag. The
platform of the pulpit was artistical-
ly arranged with a miniature tent and
outfit and set 1t off in a manne to
please the boys.
The following program was given:
Flag salute, boys; song, America"
congregation; prayer and reading of
text, Rev. Charles Bloodgood; offer
tory; n Battle Hymn of the Re-
public;' repeating of the pledge.
Scouts; violin solo. Miss Ivy Hines;
song, Onward Christian Soldiers"
congregation. Rev. Bloodgood made
an address to the scouts that was full
of interesting words, taking for his
theme the obligations as set down by
the rules Of the scouts ritual and adj
monished them to be guided by them
In their daily life and that they would
surely be model men in after years.

ed that the experiment would work
they were satisfied and took the
horn down.
So noted has the horn become that
1t was decided to put it on exhibition.
This has been done and the following
lines which are written on a large
cardboard near 1t tell the story:
This is the horn that raised the smell
That sounded the hours instead OF
the bell.
These are the boys, George and
Charlie,
That take the blame Of all the folly,
Caused by the innocent klaxon horn
That reused the neighbors on early
morn.
This is the church, the M. E. c.,

Because 1t did not know O bit
What the boys were doing to 1t.

AS no one intended to add to your

HORN USED
INSTEAD Of BELL
MataWan Town Clock Blows
the Hour Instead of Striking
Br speolaI Correspondent.

BY SpeCtdt correspondents.
MATAwAN. Sept. s:-An ordinary
black and nickle automobile horn
has made its appearance in the win
dow of George NJ. Harris store In
Main street, and a sign on the horn
proclaims tho fact thai this is the
horn which sounded the hours from
the First Methodist church steeple
during the past week and caused con-
siderable comment about the Dor
ough.
The horn was attached to the
striking apparatus OF h town clock
and the c~ontraption was arranged In
such a way that it blew the hour off
instead Of tolling them on the bell
as was done before John Terhune,
through the court Of chancery, re-
strained the church trustees from al
lowing the bell on the edi1oe to be
used for the striking system of the
town clock.
IT is understood that the horn was
placed ii the belfry of the church by
George M. Harris and Charles Con-
ove as an experiment, as they de-
sired to see If the striking apparatus
of the clock could be made to sound
the horn. It could and the expert
ment was a success.
Somehow or other the contraption
did not please q number of the peo-
pie OF the borough who were inter-
ested n having the iron tongue of
the clock silenced and considerable
talk has been created by these well
meaning folks. Others took the af-
fair as q Joke and had a hearty laugh
about the matter because the horn
was within the law, as the injunction
merely stated that the hours could
not be sounded on the bell.
Well in fact the only reason the
horn was put In the church was to
see IL the clock would blow it and it
Is maintained that Mr.. Harris and
Mr.. Conover desired in no way to
cause anyone to lose any sleep over
the matter and as soon as they learn

"Dynamiting" bile out of your sys-
TEN with calomel and other sickening
purgatives is all wrong. Salts, Oil, and
Cathartic Waters act by flooding the
bowels with the digestive juices which
are vital to the stomach. Cascarets
are different. They act as tonic to

sensible way to relieve bilious at
