Tae CHANCE OF A LIFE-TIME.-—
Knowing that this fall's campaign will
be one of education we have arranged
to give the people of Centre county the
wo best Democratic newspapers in the
jountry at a phenomenally low price.
From the present time until after the
slection the WATCHMAN and the New
York weekly World will besent to any
address upon the receipt of seyenty (70)
cents. Think ofit. Such an opportun-
ity has never before been offered you
and if you do not avail yourself of this
chance to get all the latest and most re-
liable campaign news as well as a com-
plete weekly resume of the doings of
the world you certainly can have no one
to blame but yourself.

Centre County Democrats in Conven-
tion.
A Sweltering but Harmonious Gathering—98°
Could not Melt the Enthusiasm— Cleveland's
Name Cheered to the Echo—Solid for the
Ticket Which Will Show its Strength in
November.
When county chairman L. A. Shaf-
for rapped the Democratic Convention to
order, on Tuesday afternoon, at 1,45 he
saw before him one of the most repre-
sentative gatherings of prominent Dem-
ocrats throughout the county that has
aver sat for such work. Great beads of
perspiration poured down over their
bodies and splashed unto their shoes,
but they had the tenacity to stick er out
and stick er out they did. Before the
regular routine was begun D. F. Fort-
ney Esq., stepped to the platform and
presented the handsome silk banner,
which the county chairman had offered
to the election precinct showing the
best work in last fall's campaign, to the
College Twp. delegation. His presen-
tation speech rang with good Democracy
and inspired every man there to work
for the trophy, emblematical of their
labors for the principles which they
hold dear and upon which the weal of
the country so greatly depends. John
Krumrine responded for his constituents
end manifested their intention of hold-
ing it for three years, after which itis to
become their permanent property. At
the mention of Cleveland’s name the
Convention almost went wild.
‘When the uproar had becomo quietad
J. C. Harper Esq., was chosen perma-
nent chairman. Ina graceful manner
he took the chair and after thanking the
delegates for the honor of presiding ov-
er their deliberations, he received the
nomination for reading clerk. C.B.
Wilcox, of South Philipsburg, with
Geo. T. Bush, of Bellefonte, and Geo.
M. Chronister, of Worth Twp., as tell-
ers, was the unanimous choice. They
got to work in short order, and the roll

Next the committee on resolutions
was appointed as follows : F. K. White,
Philipsburg ; M. A. Kirk, Bellefonte ;
D. J. Meyer, Centre Hall ; S. K. Em-
erick, of Union Twp., and J. J. Orn-
dorf, of Haines Twp. A committes to
decide the District Congressional dele-
gates was then appointed. Messrs
Jacob Runkle, of Bellefonte; F. P.
Musser, of Millheim ; and Oscar Holt,
of Burnside Uwp., constituted its mem-
bership and while the Convention was at
leisure the following strong resolution
endorsing Aaron Williams Congres-
sional candidacy was read.
ResoLvep that the delegates elected to the
Congressional nomination Convention for the
28th Congressional District composed of the
counties of Centre, Clearfield, Clarion, Forest
and Elk, he hereby requested touse all hen,
oreble means to secure the nomination of
Aaron Williams of the county of Centre for
that office.
At this juncture the Convention was
declared ‘ready to receive nominations
for Associate Judge. H. L. Harvey, of
Boggs Twp., C. A, Faulkner, of Phil-
‘was evident that Faulkner was going to
Twp. were placed in nomination. It
took some time to call the roll but as the
clerk ran over the list of delegates it
be nominated on the first ballot. In
fact it was a ‘dead open and shut’
thing, for he went into the Convention
with enough votes to secure his nomi-
nation. The vote was as follows:
Faulkner......oeesseeesssnns asssies ress iettt srminiTIAY 61
Harvey... 26
Decker...
Upon motion of Brown, of Snow
Shoe, the nomination of Mr. Faulkner
wasjmade unanimous. The Convention
received the announcement of the result
of the ballot with great enthusiast.
OUR LEGISLATORS NOMINATED.
After the stir, occasioned by the nom-
ination of Associate Judge, had sub-
sided the chairman declared the Conven-
tion ready for nominations for Legisla- |
ture. The names of Jno. T. McCor-
mick, of Ferguson Twp., Jas. Schofleld,
of Bellefonte,and P. S. Fisher, of Walk-
er Twp., were presented. By this time
the secretary began to get bet-
ter s&cquainted with the roll. of
names and kept the tellers busy
scoring off the votes as they were cast.
The first ballot resulted in an error and
the second resulted in the following :
McCormick
Schofield
FSO veer curereranencsanensessssanenns
In the triangular ballot, as this one
proved to be, 71 votes were necessary for
nomination. Each delegate having
cast two votes made the total just
double that of any other one taken. The
result of this gave entire satisfaction and
the announcement of the selection of the
next two Legislators from this county
was received with cheers.
THE CONVENTION WAKENS UP.
When the chairman announced that
they were ready to receive nominations
for Prothonotary the delegates began to
mop their sweltering physiognomies and
the crowd in the auditorium to prick up
its ears, In rapid succession the names
of M. I. Gardner, of Bellefonte ; D. R.
Foreman, of Potter Twp., Chas. R.
Kurtz, of Centre Hall; and W. G:
Smith of Haines Twp., were placed in
nomination. Every one knew that there
would not be a nomination on the 1st
ballot which resulted as follows :
1st Ballot 20d
es 82 32
The second ballot revealed no change
whatever, but when D. J. Meyer,
of Centre Hall, withdrew the nam®
of C. R. Kurtz a slight commotion
arose, but chairman Harper's gavel
to order the fellows
who were trying to get cool
called to order. On the third ballot
most of the Kurtz votes went to Gard-
ner, though Foreman and Smith each
corraled a few as the following dis-
closes :

As Hoffer was the lowest man on the
third ballot his name was dropped from
further consideration of the Convention
and the 4th showed a very material
change in favor of the Penn Twp, as-
pirant. The vote was as follows :
4th
Gardner...... 48
Smith... .. o
Foreman.....
"Twas Foreman’s turn on the tobog-
gan and he slid out of the Convention
with the satisfaction of havinghad 23
votes polled for him. An occasional
laugh was heard during the calling of
the roll on the 5th and final ballot, and
the frantically waving fans and hats
stopped so that their owners could hear
which of the remaining candidates
was to be the next Prothonotary of
Centre county. Gardner's friends died
with him and a game fight they did
make, but twas all of no avail, for Penns-
valley had a “cinch” on the office and
it took it just this way.

Smith...eecereennne
Deafening cheers greeted the an-
nouncement of Smith’s nomination.
SINGER NOMINATED FOR DISTRICT AT-
TGRNEY BY ACCLAMATION.
Scarce had the last cheer died away
when W. J. Singer, and John M.
Keichline, both of Bellefonte were nom-
inated for District Attorney. As the
.nstructed delegates mada it impossible
for Keichline to get anything but “left”
he withdrew in a nice note read by
Woods, of Bellefonte. Singer's nomi-
nation was then made by acclamation.
A BOOMERANG THROWN.
Just when the delegates imagined th ey
were going to get out io the cool air,
soda water and other soft drinks—for
you know Democrats are all temperate
—the office of County Surveyor loomed
up without any one to fill it. Every-
one arose equal to the emergency and,
faster than the tellers could take down
the names, the delegates began to heap
honors on the fellows, who had done
most toward giving them a trip to the
county seat, by nominating them. The
ipsburg and Samuel Decker, of Walker
names were Horace B. Herring, of Gregg i
Samuel Brugger, of Union ; Geo. D.
Johnston, of Bogg; W. M. Grove, of
Potter ; Ellis Lytle, of Half Moon ;
and W. A. Murray, of Harris; were
presented, but Horace Herring distanced
all his competitors and carried off the
plum.

The offices all being filled the com-
mittee on resolutions reported through
its chairman, F. K. White, the follow-
ing fearless declaration of Democratic
principles and purposes :
Tug DEMOCRACY OF CENTRE County IN CONVEN-
T10N ASSEMBLED, RESOLVES :
1st. That we enthusiastically endorse the
nomination of Grover Cleveland for the Presi.
dency, and that of Adlai Stevenson, for the
Vice-Presidency of these United States; and
with their trinmphant election, we assure the
country of a return of that prosperity, that be-
gan in November, 1884, and ended in Novem-
ber, 1888.
ond. That we heartily endorse the proceed”
ings of the Democratic National Convention’
held in June last in the city of Chicago, and
in general the platform of wise and states-
man like principles, then and there adopted.
ard. That we especially proclaim our al-
legiance to the doctrine of Tariff Reform, and
denounce the present iniquitous system of
taxation under the McKinley Bill, that has in-
creased the cost of living to the poor man, has
prostrated our industries, and has fostered and
protected only trusts and monopolies.
4th. That we denounce the unwise and un-
patriotic effort of President Harrison, and the
the late Republican Congress to raise up sec-
tional hatreds, and over-throw the freedom of
the ballot box, by means of the infamous
Force Bill.
sth. That we denounce the wholesale
squandering of the people’s money by the
late Republican Congress, and congratulate
the country, that the tide of extravagance and
debauchery has been stopped by the present
Democratic House of Representatives. 5
6th. That we heartily endorse the adminis
tration of Robert E. Pattison, Governor of this
Comn.onwealth, as being an honest and fear-
less executive of the laws of Ponnsylvania,
and of the Constitution of 1874, so far as Re-
publican legislation gives him power.
7. That we approve of the selection of Wil-
liam F. Harrity, our distinguished fellow-citi-
zen, as the leader to direct the Democratic
hosts to victory in November next.
8. We hereby pledge our united and earn-
est support to the ticket this day nominated.
Respectfuily Submitted.

RECIPE FOR CONNUBIAL FELICITY. —
Nearly all the trouble between man and
wife originates in what is called ‘‘lying
out of it.” If a man and wife would be
more candid and place more confidence
in one another the divorce courts of the
country would have less to do and there
would be fewer separations and more hap-
pier married people. Ifyou have been
out “blowing yourself,” tell your wife
go and she will think a great deal more
of you than if you said you were out
setting up with a sick friend. The
truth is sometimes a little rugged but if
youalways tell your wife or husband
the truth there will be a great deal less
trouble in the family. —Ez.

BELLEFONTE DEFEATED BY THE
DeMoRESTS—About two hundred peo-
ple went up to the Park, on Wednesday
afternoon, to see the crack Demorest
team, of Williamsport, ‘do our fellows
up,” as most of them expressed it. They
were decidedly surprised however for
the visitors only pulled the game out of
the fire after two men wera out in the
8th inning, by Patchin’s home run hit.
There was & man on 2nd and his drive
over centre field scored the winning runs.
The game was very pretty through-
out and was lost through our inability
to connect with the ball at the proper
time. The features were Stuart's 1st
base playing and Patchin’s strong work
with the stick. He made three hits with
a total of eleven bases. The score:

Bellefonte—0 0 3 0 0 0 0 0 0—3 2 3
Demorest—0 0 0 1 0 0 1 2 x—4 6 3
Many farmers in Centre County,
who do not read circulars sent to them
by mail,or the newspaper advertisements,
have recently made their purchases of
Dissolved South Carolina Rock at the
various prices of other dealers—at $16.00
per ton—at $17.00 per ton and at $18.00
per ton, and are now surprised to learn
that McCalmont & Co. of Bellefonte, Pa.
are selling the highest grade of Dissolved
South Carolina Rock in carload lots of
fifteen tons, delivered at any Pennsylva-
nia Railroad Station in Centre County
at $15.50 per ton, which includes the
freight ; this firm mailed circulars to
nearly one thousand farmers, during
the past six weeks, quoting these prices,
$15.50 per ton, and the farmers of Fer-
guson, College, Benner and Spring
Townspips are congratulating them-
selves that they have made their pur-
chases of McCalmont & Co. and have
secured the best quality of Dissolved
South Carolina Rock on ground floor
prices. ok
OUR GREAT DAY FOR THE 18TH—
The Knights of the Golden Eagle will
take possession of the town, on Thurs-
day, Aug. 18th, it being the occasion of
the fifth Annual Rsunion ofthe Juniata
Valley Association K. G. E. Bellefonte
Castle No. 357 has had charge of the
preparations, which are about completed,
and they expect to see an immerse
crowd in Bellefonte on that day. These
Annual Reunions are very popular
among the Eagles and are always large-
ly attended. In some districts the pa-
rades number four thousand Sir Knights.
‘While the Juniata district has not as
large a membership as some districts yet
their annual parades always have over
1000 in line. This year Bellefonte has
gone farther than has been done hereto-
fore and offered $100 in prizes to induce
a large attendance. The replies received
show that their prizes have had their ef-
fect and it is safe to enumerate an addi-
tional five hundred over last year which
was one thousand and fifty, and twelve
bands. In addition a large number of
Castles, from outside the district, that
went elsewhere last year will bepresent.
Altogether the indications are that it
will be the biggest turnout Bellefonte
has seen for many & year.
One of the attractions of the day will
be a balloon ascension. Mll’e Mayo, a
young lady, will make the ascent per-
forming on a trapeeze and when several
from the balloon and descend in a para-
chute. The balloon used is & hot-air
balloon 100x75 feet in dimensions ‘and
differs from a gas balloon in the fact
that they ascend very rapidly acd do
not “float” away. The descent is made
under favorable circumstances within a
thousand feet of the starting point very
often on the same ground. Balloon as-
censions are often advertised for the pur-
pose of drawing crowds, but this is a
bona-fide feature of the day and will
surely take place. Lel everybody come,
and another feature will be a competi-
tive drill by four commanderies,for a $50
gold prize, in the diamond. The uni-
form of the Military Branch is one of
the handsomest of secretsociety uniforms
and a competitive drill is worth going
miles to see. Let everybody come to
Bellefonte on the 18th and enjoy them-
selves

— The lower end of Sugar Valley
seems to be very seriously affected with
the suicide craze. On Monday morn-
ing Adam Renther, an 85 year old resi-
ident of the Valley, placed the muzzle
of his gun to his left breast and either
touched the trigger with his foot or his
ramrod for the gun went off; the ball
plowing itself through his body, just
above the heart, and coming out under
the shoulder blade. He was an eccen-
tric old fellow, though it was never
thought that he would ever take his own
life. Some think that fear of the conse-
quences of a note on which his name ap-
peared caused his cuicide. Deceased
had been a shoemaker in the Valley for
years and leaves several children, all of
whom are well-to-do.
— The Philipsburg ball club came to
town on Friday after having been shut
out two games in succession by Clearfield,
and our boys continued the rubbing in
process by doing them up 9t0 0. The
game was one continued kick from start
to finish and void of all interest outside
the several brilliant plays made by the
home team. Bellefonte played without
an error.
The standing of the League clubs to
to date is as follows :
‘Won Lost P.C

per-Phosphate is made of these ingredients
and has proven itself to be a superior fertili,
zer ; and the report of the State Board of Ag-
riculture shows that it is higher in value than
other fertilizers, which are being sold in Cen-
tre county at $28.00 and $30.00 per ton, Other
proof can be furnished by farmers who have
used it, to verify this claim. 26
TA RRR Ra,
——Farmers are buying fertilizers more
largely this year than they have for several
years. It appears thatthe wheat fertilized last
year and harvested this year, is very much
better in quality, a well developed berry, as
well as a much larger yield on the whole than
the wheat on which no fertilizers were used.
Our townsmen Messrs. McCalmont & Co., have
given very great attention to the quality of
fertilizers, who purchase in large quantities of
the very best grades at the lowest prices—
hence they are enabled to sell the best goods
at the lowest prices. As a reward for their ef-
forts, they have already received orders for
about two hundred (200) tons of fertilizers to
be delivered during this month—their largest
orders coming from the farmers of Ferguson,
College, Benner and Spring townships. 2t
