——Rev. Chas. Schnure, whose home

To The Clearfield county commis-
sioners have offered a reward of $150 for

and killed John Brown, atfAimesville, a

have been placed in the vault, in the

handsome appearance. They afford

nicely to the walls of the vault that it
saems like a very spacious room instead
of the stuffy, crowded little place it used
to be.
——Carol Monroe, the only son of
Rev. Dr. D. S. Monroe, formerly pastor
of the M. E. church at this place and
now located at Altoons, died on Friday
evening last in the Harrisburg Asylum.
He will be remembered by nearly every
‘resident of our town all of whom have
‘shared the sorrow of his parents at the
-afiliction left on him by a severe attack
-of fever. He was in his 28th year.

000 old postage stamps which he intends
sending to friends in Lock Haven.
They vil be sold at the rate of $10 per
million and the proceeds devoted to
paying a church debt.
the Lord will surely remember a con-
gregation which must resort to such
slow means of paying a debt.
——The late train, on Monday even-
ing, brought Rudolph Schad home
from the Johns Hopkins University
hospital, in Baltimore, where he has
been a patient forabouta year. Rudolph
entered the institution with the hope of
being cured of hip disease and under-
went several difficult surgical operations.
‘We are pleased to state that a partial
cure has been effected and he returns to
his friendsin a very much improved
condition.
William thinks
— Mrs. William Musser will start
to Philadelphia tomorrow with her
daughter Mary, who is to enter the Un-
iversity Hospital in hopes that a change
of treatment will benefit the patient lit-
tle sufferer. Mary, will be it remembered,
was putting out a fire thatsome child-
ren had been playing with near her
home, when her clothes took fire and,
before her mother could reach her, was
burned, up her back, in a blister from
her knees to the base of her brain.
Reaction did not setin for several days
and the burned surface was so great that
her life was dispaired of for weeks.
However eighteen months have passed
since the accident and Mary is yet
cheerful. During most of that time
she has been in the one position for she
cannot be turned on her back, which
will not even bear the weight of the
covers of her bed. Skin grafting has
been tried several times with success ;
but the strain has been so great that
lately every thing that love or skill
could suggest were of no avail. This
little girl, who is only ten years old, will
take with her the good wishes of many
friends, who hope that she may soon re-
cover from her long illness that she has
born so patiently and cheerfully.
——Mr. W. C. Keplinger, who died
at his store on Sunday night, was a com-
parative stranger to Bellefonte people
although he has owned and conducted
one of our principal drug stores for six
years. A quiet,diffident man he seldom
appeared in public, and when he ‘did it
was nearly always in the interest of some
charity, for he had an exquisite tenor
voice that was ever a pleasure to a mus-
ic loving audience to listen to. Some
time ago he visited his old home in
Shepperdstown, W. Va., and while
there had a severe spell of typhoid fever
from which he never fully recovered.
Six weeks ago he returned to Bellefonte;
but has only been able to work: a few
days in that time: He appeared
worse than usual ’til Sunday evening
when he had a sinking spell from which
he never regained consciousness. Mr.
Keplinger was about 35 years old and
was considered one of our best druggists.
He leaves a father and two sisters in
Shepperdstown where his body was tak-
en for interment.
Mrs. James McMullin, of Miles-
burg, made a mistake the other day that
came very near ending her life. Some
months ago Dr. Church gave her a
tonic that contained some strychnia
with strict injunctions to take but a tea-
spoonful twice a day. Mrs. McMullin
who is just home from one of the Phila-
delphia hospitals, where they did not
give her any encouragement about her
health, felt so miserable Monday that
it mattered little to her what the conse-
quence would be and took several large
doses of the tonic. At once her mother
noticed that something was the matter
and called 1n Drs. Church and Hoy, who
found her unconscious and suffering
from strychnia poison, and undoubted-
ly it was only their prompt application
of extreme remedies that saved her life.
——On last Thursday evening the
four year old daughter of Michael My-
ers, of North Philipsburg, was burned
‘so badly that death resulted the follow-
ing afternoon. ‘While the mother was
out of the house a younger child began
poking the fire and when the poker be-
came red hot she touched it, playfually,to
her sister's clothes. Immediately the
little girl was enveloped in flames and
ran screaming from the house. A
neighbor, seeing her danger, throw a
bucketful of water on her but it was
too late. In a semi-concious condition
she was carried into the house and all
possible efforts rendered to save her life,
but in vain.
FarMING IN EUROPE.—On Thursday

field will delight the citizens of Nittany

tures on his travels, while abroad dur-
ing the past summer. Farming in

spring election, as shown by the returns
filed on Wednesday in the Prothono-

simply give the names of those chosen
for the offices named. There is but lit-
tle political significance in the results in
