THINGS ABOUT TOWN & COUNTY
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

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-

the world you certainly can have no one
to blame but yourself.

TaE REPUBLICAN CONVENTION.—
The shortest and most uninteresting
political convention ever held in the
county, was that of the Republicans on
Tuesday last. It commenced at half-
past eleven and was over and many of
the delegates had their dinner by one
o'clock. From the fact that Court is
being held this week, and jurors, wit-
nesses and litigants are in town, a fair-
ly good audience, possible a half a court
House full af people, witnessed the pro-
ceedings and went away with the im-
pression that their is neither life nor
hope in the Republican party of Centre
county.
That the convertion was harmonious
is beyond dispute. Gen.. Hastings, Col.
Coburn, D. 8. Keller Esq, post Master
Feidler, and a few others of the bosses
here in Bellefonte, hadarranged the pro-
gram, selected the ticket, written the re-
solutions and prepared the motions, so
that their was nothing to do but to rati-
fy the work laid out by those who claim
to be the the leaders of the party.
By substitution and picking up jury-
men and witnesses as delegates, a pretty
fair representation of the different dis-
tricts was secured, and by the time the
roll was completed, nearly every voting
preceint in the county had some name
to answer for it.
Jas. P. Coburn Esq., took the chair
and after trying to encourage the hope-
less feeling fellows who surrounded him,
in a short speech, began business
with G. W. Zeigler and H. G. Royer as
secretaries and Henry C. Quigle as read-
ing clerk.
The first business taken up was the
appointment of a committee on resolu-
tions who were to present the veiws of
the party, as prepared in Hastings’ office
during the morning.
Next in order was the nomination of
a candidate for Associate Judge. There
was no one who wanted to take this
place, and as Mr. Samael T. Gray had
received the emoluments (?) that came
from holding the position of county
Auditor and was rich in this world’s
goods, it was thought that he might be
willing to stand an assessment for po-
litical purposes and the nomination was
conferred on him by acclamation.
For Legislature there were four candi-
dates,E. I, Walker of Boggs, Dr. J. W.
Hafer and A. A. Dale of this place, and
John Hamilton of State College.
The leaders had announced
that Hamilton and Dale should be nom-
inated and the first ballot did it by the
following vote.
This was the only ballot taken during
the convention. It showed present
96 delegates and substitutes. The con-
vention if full would have had 121
votes.
There was no candidate for prothon-
otary and this position was given with.
out opposition to John C. Miller of this
place.
For district attorney, no one could be
got to accept the nomination, and the
office went begging until it was remem-
bered that Mr. Zeigler, who was acting
as one of the secretaries,had a law shingle
hung out in Philipsburg, and was one
of the kind of fellows who would accept
anything given him, when it was pro-
posed to place his name upon the ticket
which was done by acclamation.
The county Surveyor Jesse Cleaver,
was nominated in the same way, and
after continuing, W. F. Reeder as coun-
ty chairman, appointing, Wm. E. Irvin
of Philipsburg, Dr. Christ of Lemont
and Dr. Van Valzah of Philipsburg
congressional conferees, and D. S. Kels-
ler; W. F. Reeder and H. C. Quigley a-
a committee to arrange a basis for con-
gressional representation, and the adop-
tion of the following resolutions the
convention adjourned, taking in all less
than fifty minutes to go through the
form, of ratilying the work that had
been laid out for it.
The Republican party of Centre county in
convention assembled again declares its alleg-
iance to its cardinal principles of protection to
American labor, a sound currency and honest
elections, and we heartily endorse the Min-
neapolis platform in which these principles
are so ably reaffirmed :
1. We endorse the wise and patriotic admin-
istration of President Harrison, under which
our country has prospered both in its foreign
and domestic relations, and by which peace
and order have been maintained at home with a
kind yet firm hand, while foreign nations have
realized that though loth to invite a comflict
the American Government would unfaltering
protect its interests and those of its citizens
whenever occasion required, and we predict
for President Harrison and his associate upon
the ticket su-h a majority in Pennsylvania as
will properly emphasize her appreciation of
their merit.
2. We endorse the workings of the “Mc¢Kin-
ley Bill,” which has opened new avenues of
industry in our land ; given employment to
thousands of willing hands, and by competi-
tion has further cheapened the cosi of many
necessities of life. We tender to its distin-
guished author our congratulations upon the
triumnphant answer which time has given to
his detractors and believe that the endorse:
ment lately given him by his own state is but
the prelude t> more distinguished henors
from the whole nation.
8. We condemn the extravagance and inac.
tion of the Democratic House of Representa.
tives which while making appropriations
largely in excess of thoge of its predecessor,
hag stinted proper claims upon its attention
and lavished immense sums in a wasteful Riv.
er and Harbor bill for Southern streams ; and
has permitted an insignificant and factions
minority of its own party to effectually block
much needed legislation.
4. We dendunce the shsmeless demagogues
who have charged, either in partisan journals
or legislative Halls, that the system of protec-
tion to American Labor is in anywise respon-
gible for the recent labor troubles, and we call
special attention to the fact that in the portion
of our State where the most serious distur-
bances have occurred, the wages paid were so
liberal as to astonish the most pronounced
Democrats of the Congressional Committee of
Investigation.
5. We commend to employers and employes
alike strict obedience to law, moderation, and
the exercise of the principles of the Golden
Rule and earnestly hope that wise counsels
will soon prevail and proper relations between
Capital and Labor be speedily established.
6. We especially condemn the Democratic
party for its manifest hostility to American
Labor as enunciated in the Chicago platform,
but we congratulate the country that it has
been forced at last to strip off its disguise and
avow its open hostility to Protection, and we
confidently appeal to the enlightened senti-
ment of our farmers, artisans and business
men alike for a verdict in favor of that system
which brings producer and consumer as close-
ly together as possible, and against that policy
which would place us at the mercy of foreign
manufacturers and a few importers.
7. We rspecially condemn the Democratic
party for its utterances in favor of free coin,
age and wildcat banknotes. We believe in a
dollar worth 109 cents everywhere—as good for
the laborer and farmer as for the capitalist and
speculator; and we denounce every effort
which will tend to debase the value of any
money issued by the government, or which
looks to a return toa currency so unstable as
that which existed before the establishment
of our present national currency.
8. We declare our unalterable devotion to
a free ballot and a fair count. We believe that
each freeman has a right to cast one vote and
have it honestly counted, and we denounce
the fraud and force by which so large a vote in
the southern states is systematically sup-
pressed.
9. We favor, as in the past, libzral pensions
for our disabled veterans and the widows and
orphans of our deceased soldiers, and we are
confident that no man who, while President,
exhausted his ingenuity in devising reasons
for vetoing pension legislation, will ever
again be elected to the President's chair.
10. We acknowledge, with gratitude, the
stand taken by the Republican members of
Congress in maintaining the American Chris
tian Sabbath by closing the Columbia Exposi-
tion on Sunday; and our thanks are due to
Senator M. S. Quay for his patriotic efforts in
that behalf, and for his valuable services in
support of the American protective system
and in supporting the principles of Republi-
canism.
11. We hereby pledge our active and earnest |
support to the Republican national ticket, our
State ticket, and our county ticket this day
nominated ; and we shall use all honorable
means to secure the election of each.

J Resolutions,
——Master Frank Graham is acting
as local agent of the Pittsburg Post,and
we are glad to know is succeeding right
well. Frank is a bright boy, and he
sells a good paper that is deserving of
the most liberal patronage.
——The editors of the Juniata Val-
ley will enjoy their summer outing at
Cape May, next week. They start on
Monday and expect to return on Satur-
day night. Bellefonte will not be rep-
resented in the party.
—— It’s not much of a credit to the
county to have its Court House yard in
the .adition ours is in, but we suppose
it wil have to be put up with until
some of the indebtedness, the late board
of Republican commissioners fastened
upon us, is paid.
——A three months history running
from the April to the August court of
the business progress of Clearfield coun-
ty under the McKinley bill has been
written by sheriff Cardon, and, as pub-
lished in the papers, occupies four col-
umns in solid nonpareil type.
——Mr. R. A. Kayler, editor of the
Hastings Tribune, spent a few hours
in Bellefonte with Mr. Robt,
Cole, our noted architect on Fri-
day morning last. Tt was his first visit
to our pretty town and he went away,
we hope, having a good opinion of it.
——The executive committee of the
Woman’s Christain Temperance Union
picniced at the Park Monday. What
special work was discussed we do not
know but we do know that never in the
history of our town was temperance
work and sentiment more needed than
now.
——The ladies of Linn street wi
give a Musicale at the residence of Judge
A. O. Furst on Tuesday evening at 7:30
for the benefit of the Mite Society. Dur-
ing the intermission, chicken croquettes,
biscuits and coffee will be served.
Twenty-five cents admission at the
door. Refreshments gratis. The pub-
lic are cordially invited.
——1t is rumored that Prof. Etters
contemplates resigning his position as
county Superintendent on the first of
September to accept the superintendency
of the Public Schools of this place, a
position to which he was elected at the
last meeting of the school board. Ex-
supt. Wolf, it is said will probably fill
out the unexpired term of county super-
tendent.
——Invitations are out for Edgar
Swartz’s wedding which is to take
place Thursday the 1st at Punxsu-
tawney. Miss Maud Zeitler who is pretty
and attractive herself. is to be congratu-
lated as Edgar is not only a popular
young man; but is rated as one of the
successful business men of Jefferson
county being head of a large tailoring
establishment and baving a comfortable
home already for occupancy.
GENERAL Hastings AT HoMmE.—It
wasn’t as big asa mountain or as sur-
prising as an earth-quake, but it answer-
ed every purpose and made Gener-
al Hastings feel gcod for the time, and
gave editor Feidler an opportunity to
show that he is still grateful to our
¢Dan,” for the influence that secured
him the post office. We refer to the
reception given the General on his re-
turn home from Europe on Saturday
last. For nearly a week brother Feid-
ler has been busy importuning people to
take a part in, and arranging a pro-
gramm of proceedings for a reception
that was to astonish the natives, and
give the General a send off worthy his
size and ambition. Just why, in view
of the facts that he liad been absent on
private business, and that other citizens,
equally popular and appreciated had
gone to Burope and returned and no
demonstration was made, a public recep-
tion was the proper thing, was not ex-
plained,
Saturday evening came and with it
the Pleasant Gap band made its appear-
ance. At train time it and three car-
riages, with the usual crowd of train
watchers were on hand at the depot. The
band played, Johnny Sourbeck burnt
some red lights, the General and post
master Fiedler got into one carriage,
Major Spangler and Attorney Fortney
into another, and carriages, band and
boys went to the Court House yard,
where D. S. Keller Esq., D. F. Fortney
Esq. and Maj. Spangler, all told how
dearly they loved and how greatly they
admired the General and how much
they missed him while away, and the
General told of the ancestry he had
discovered in Ireland, and how dearly
he loved everybody and everything
about Bellefonte, himself not excepted.
It didn’t take overly long to do this and
by ten o’clock the guest had got home to
his family, the band had retired
to Pleasant Gap, and Bellefonte
was as quiet and unconcerned as if we
had no aspirant for governor in our
midst, or no one looking ahead for the
emoluments the position of post master
insures.
Altogether, we presume it was a
very pleasant, if not a big occasion for
those who participated, and General
Hastings has reason to feel grateful to
post master Feidler aspirations, that
conceived the movement, and to the
' kindly actions of those who took part,
| for whatever success attended the re-
ception.
A VULNERABLE Point.—In all the
intricacies which make up man’s physi-
cal machanism there is one little sac, or
receptacle, which has baffled scientists
ever since its discovery. It 1s the ap-
pendix vermiforis, a small sac formed
by a convolution of one of the intes-
tines. Thus far its useful connection
with our anatomy can only be traced to
its having been the cause of death of a
few persons whose earthly presence was
no longer desired, but while it has re-
‘moved many drones it has been the
cause of the untimely end of many use-
ful people also. This latter has led
scientists to try to discover its relation
to the body, but try as they will there
efforts are of no avail. Ifa tomato seed,
or a berry seed of any kind, should
lodge in the appendix vermiforis it
would mean certain death for there is no
way whatever to remove it. The fol-
lowing, from the Lock Haven Express
of Saturday is an illustration of the
way it causes death :
“Adam Gingery, a married man
whose residence was in Pine Creek town-
ship, this county, died yesterday morn-
ing after an illness of but a few days.
He took sick on Wednesday and there
appearing to be some obstruction of his
bowels that could not be removed by the
cfforts of his physicians, a post mortem
examination was made yesterday. The
examination disclosed the fact that a
grain of wheat was lodged in an elonga-
tion of one of the bowels, and that had
caused his death. That portion of the
intestines in which the grain of wheat
bad lodged is known to physicians as'the
“appendix vermiforis’ and is aparently
useless so far as medical knowlege goes.
In this instance the grain of wheat that
caused the man’s death had produced
ulceration, whick had eaten through the
membrane of the intestine and periton-
itis resulted.
——1It is an easy thing to give advise
but it is not half so easy as it would be
for young men to read and remember
the following truth, which is from the
pen of Bro. Schwartz of the Altoona
Tribune : “No young man who wants
to succeed in life need despair because
nature has not granted him the gift of
genius. It is an open question whether
that is not more frequently a fatal than
a fortunate bestowment. The secret of
success is found in faithful discharge of
present duty, in the eager seizure of
present opportunities. The employer is
apt to think more of fidelity than of ge-
pius. When an employe gives honest
service, when he is industrious and
economical, when he is interested in his
work it will not be many years until he
18 at the top of the ladder, an employer
perhaps himself. The world is tull of
illustrations of this truth.”
——Fine job work of ever discription
at the WaTcEMAN Office.
——Mrs. John Bradley, offers her
| valuable property on the corner of Lo-
gan and Spring street consisting of four
dwellings, at private sale. 3t
——Col. R. F. Haslett, proprietor of
the Haslett hotel at Spruce Creek, and
well and favorably known to many of
our readers, died on the 11th inst., after
a lingering 1llness, aged 78 years.
——A festival the for benefit of the
Pleasant Hill Sunday School in Patton
township will be held during the after-
noon and evening of Saturday August
27. Everybody and all their friends
are cordially invited.
——Jack Ewing formerly of Snow
Shoe, one of the most companionable
fellows you ever metand as good a
Democrat, as casts a vote, accompanied
by Mr. Study and Mr. Guyer of Ty-
rone spent Monday night in Bellefonte.
Prof. J. Milton Furey, of Lock
Haven, a former Centre county boy, has
completed and has now in presss, a his-
tory of Clinton county, and purposes
writing one of Centre as soon as he
closes up the work connected with the
circulation of the one he has just fin-
ished.
——Evan M. Valentine formerly of
this place, but of late years abresident of
Philadelphia, has brought suit against
Hon. John Cessna of Bedford to recov-
er $8.775 as commission for the sale of
lands, near Bedford to the Bedford Coal
and Iron company for $175.000, in the
Court of Common Pleas of Philadel-
phia.
——1It is altogether probable that the
farmers of the county, by the time they
get through repairing the roads that
have been made almost impassable in
places by heavy rains this season. will
conclude, that after all, some other sys-
tem of making roadsand a little help
from the state would not be out of
place.
Mr. Budd Thompson of Martha
Furnace, while overseeing the loading
of telephone poles at Marengo, on Sat-
urday last, had the misfortune to have
both bones in his right leg broken be-
tween the knee and ankle. He was
taken home and is now experiencing
what a fine thing - patience is to a man
who can’t get around.
—Wedon’t know who it is from,
but the chap who gives ‘the following
advice to parents, evidently knows what
he is talking about: When your boy
comes home in the evening looking blue
about the gills, his ears hanging down
like a broken onion top, his shirt wrong
side out and buttoned with third button
in the first hole, sand in his ears and
wearing a generally dejected air, don’t
accuse him of having eaten green apples
or broken a window, he has only “been
in swimming, and was the last fellow
out.”
——What kind of a mishap has be-
fallen the new railroad enterprise which
four weeks ago promised us a compet-
ing line within a few months? Was
the whole fuss only a scheme to secure
and hold the right of way, or has some
obstacle arisen that the originatorsare
unable to get over ? Surely if the line
is to be completed, within the time
specified in the article of agreement that
was exhibited around here, there is no
time for fooling and work should be
proceeding at as rapid a rate as possi-
ble.
——1In the annouucement of persons
who are billed to address the Grangers
Picnic on the 17th of September as giv-
en in the WATCHMAN last week, are the
names of President Harrison and that of
Mr. Hayes who filled Preside nt Tilden’s
term. We presume that these gentle-
men have given some assurance to the
managers of the Picnic that they will
be present, but not wishing to be held
responsible for the disappointment that
would naturally follow their failure to
attend, the WATcEMAN wants it dis-
tinctly understood that the promise that
they will be there, must be taken as that
of the managers of the Picnic, and not of |
this paper.
~——On Friday last Mr. Jas. Solt,
who is a cripple and has been earning a
livelihood for himself and family by
sprinkling our streets in the summer
and selling eoal oil in the winter, fell
through a hole in the board walk on
Logan street and sustained such injuries
as will probably totally disable him for
life. For a long time the side-walks in
many places in the borough have been
allowed to remain in such a dilapidated | P!
condition that the wonder is that more
accidents of this kind have not occurred,
and now that the borough will very pro-
bably be called upon to pay a consider-
able bill of damage, it is possible the
council will waken to the necessity of
enforcing its ordinances and seeing that
our streets, sidewalks and bridges sre
kept in safe condition. While the tax-
payers will regret that they voted for
aud elected a council, that fails to per-
perform its duties, there is not one
among them who will object to poor,
disabled Jim, getting every cent of
damages the law will allow him, for the
injuries sustained, as a consequence of
the neglect of the borcugh officials ?
Or INTEREST T0 CONSTABLES.—-We
do not know that all the constables
within the county are aware of the
facts that it is their duty, under the
law, to see that all Canada thistles, in
the district over which their authority
extends, are cut in time to prevent them
going to seed. We do know how-
ever, that there are plenty of places
within the county in which this great
pest is allowed to grow without any at-
tempt to check its spreading, and that
constables must be neglecting their
duties in this matter, in many instances,
or some attempt, at least, would be
mads to prevent them polluting this
whole section. If these officials will
look up the law, they will discover that
in every district in which these thistles
grow, they, as well as the owner of the
land, are liable to seven penalties for
failing to comply with the requirement
of the act, which makes it their duty to
notify land owners by printed posters
put up in prominent places, that these
thistles must be cut, and if not, they
should proceed at once to see that they
are,
——We don’t vouch for the truth of
this statement but we have been told
that some ten days ago the old employ-
ees of the Nail Works, who are still
about this place, were notified that they
would hear something of interest to them
by calling at the office of the works ata
specified hour. A good many of them
went down and were surprised to find an
agent of the Carnegie works on hand
with authority to offer them positions
in one of the company’s Pittsburg Mills.
Our informant says that nota single
man accepted the proposition, though
wages higher than any realized at
the Nail Works were offered. Some
of the men were highly indignant that
even it should be suggested to them to
take the place of brother-workingmen
who are contending for reasonable wages
and the rights of urganized labor in
Pittsburg, and intimated to the agent,
that while it was perfectly safe for him
to be in Bellefonte, he might find other
towns more congenial and pleasant to :
him for hunting Carnegie recruits.
TaANKS.— We have received an invi-
tation to attend, and a ticket of admis-
sion to, the Warren county (I1l.) Annu-
al Fair, to be held from Sept. 12 to 16 at
Monmouth, both days inclusive. While
it would give us great pleasure to at-
tend and see what Warren county
tarmers raise, they are proud enough of
to place on public exhibition, the dis-
tance and other reasons will prevent.
All the same we are obliged to Mr.
Geo. C. Rankin, the wide awake secre-
tary, for the remembarance.
