v at once, a grade should be estavlished | and maintained then property holders should be compelled 1o lay side walks as is done in other parts of town. Of course the cry that the property is of no value may be anticipated and met with the statement that the borough will proceed with the work and sell the property to pay forit. It is all right enough to say that that creek, or the hill on the oppusite side, is of no value, but just let some one try to appropriate the water power or go to locate a build- ing over either and see how quick the owner will turn up and demand an enormous price for the right. Now let council go to work and re- trivve itself and there will be satisfac- tion on all sides. THE GrAND CANTATA OF J EPHTHAH. —-On next Monday and Tuesday even: ings Garman’s cpera house will be the scene of a grand, spectacular production of the cantata of “Jephthah and his Daughter”. The best talent of the town will sing in the leading roles and choruses for the benefit «f the Y. M. C. A. and an imposing, as well as highly musical, production may be looked for. Seventy-five ladies and gentlemen, in full Jewish costume, with speciul scenery and calcium lights, will sing the beau- tiful music ot the cantata and make up the allegorical tableaux which have made this entertainment so successful wherever produced. In order that our readers may have an idea of what it is we publish a syn- opsis and the cast of characters. CASTE. Jephthah,ninth ruler of Israel Dr. J.C.McEntire Shemuel, Prince of Gilead...Lee B.

Old Mother Earth is again clad in robes of white, and from the downward tendeney of the thermometer it has been donned to wear for a while at least. Mr. D. G. Meek, the efficient! teller of the Blair county Bank, Tyrone, with John B. Campbell, chief clerk of the Tyrone Steam Heat Company, were in attendance at Wilmer Bow- ergox’s funeral last Sunday. Mr. John Pennington of Will county, IIL, has been visiting Blair and Centre county re- latives for the past week. John is one of the prosperous farmers of the State and reports everything full and plenty, except apples which are scarce in sections of the State. Both of our hunting parties, the Excelsiors and the Buck Tails came out of the mountains last week with no game, while Ed Riley was more fortunate, haviag brought down with his new Marlin a large bruin which was exhibited to the quiet citizens of Baalsburg who viewed it with more or less envy. Butchering season is well on the wane. Mine host Decker of the St. Elmo is again the * boss pork grower, his three hogs weighed 1040 lbs., although sadler Eckle claims the belt on age, his two eleven months old pigs tipping the scales at 560 Ibs. So far as we are concerned he can have it, but there are yet others to be heard from, Mr. H.rvey Pifer and wife of Zion, partool of the fatied gobbler and gave thanks ai Grandpa Gates on Main street, on Thanks- giving day. Their visit was very short, a~ thay went home that afternoon. Mr. John Witmer, one of our busiest farm ers, has at la-t found time to sit by the cradle and sing lul-la-by-baby. He is rejoicing aver the arrival of a little son who will travel very close by th. side of his father over life's rug ged ways. Ofcourse girls are very wice and useful in every household, but asthere are sev- en of them already in this happy home, little Grover was doubly welcome. No doubt before long he will be driving the high stepping grays cf which his father is so proud. Our I. 0.0. F.of Penns Valley Lodge 276, are making extensive arrangements for a fes- tival that is to be held during the holidays. They propose having one of the most enter- taining midwinter festivities that has ever been held in our town, and in as much as the proceeds are for charitable objects, we would bespeak a good attendance. The treasury should be well filled, so that the drafts for the benefit of the sick and poor during the long and dreary winter could be promptly met. It is our sad duty this week to chronicle the death of two of our most esteemed young peo” ple. Emaline Rider, the only daughter of Mr. and Mrs Mathias Rider at Gatesburg, died of in- flammation of the bowels, aged 15 years and | four months. All that kind loving hands and ' medieal skill could do, was done to alleviate her sufferings and spare her life, but it saemed of no avail. Sh was the joy and pride of the family, and will be missed in the Sunday school and church choir. She was a zealous member of the Lutheran church and died in that faith. Interment was made in the Gates: burg cemetery on the 6th, at 10 o’clock a.m. with her pastorand i inisterial friend Rev. J. A. Aikens officiating. On Thanksgiving morning our community was shocked to hear of the tragic death of Wilmer Bowersox which occurred Wednesday afternoon at New Berlin where he was attend- | The telegram to his father Mr. | ing school. Frank Bowersox of near Fair-rook stated that his death was caused by the accidental dis- charge of a revolver, which he was trying to repair, and {rom Prof. A. M. Wonder who brought the body home we learned the follow- ing details. Fer some days previous to the accident Wil- mer did not seem to be as wel as usual, and Wednesday morning did not get up until 9 o'clock. He then took his revolver from his trunk and going down town purchased a box of cartridges. Thinking that a change micht be beneficial he visited his cousin Mr. Bilger, some miles away and seemingly enjoyed a hearty dinner. As the next day was Thanks. giving Mr. Bilger aud his family tried to per- sunade him to remain and go hunting, but Wil- mer refused and returned to school, arriving about 2 o'clock in the afternoon. On his re- turn he called at the room of Mr. Taney to show him his revolver and tell him where he had been for dinner, and shortly afier enter: ing his own room a shot was heard which it is supposed he fired from his window. Shortly after a second shot was heard not so distinetly as the first but accompanied by a fall that alarmed the students in the adjoining rooms at ence and they ran to his door asking if he had been shot? Theanswer “yes” was heard | of his fellow school | distinetly by several mates ; but by the time the door was « pened— it was fastened with a spring lock—he could not speak and died before medical aid could be summoned. The ball having entered just below the heart As soon as his death was announced the fac ulty suspended work for the rest of the week, and on Thanksgiving morning the New Cos- mian Lite ary Society of which he was a mem- bss met to pass Resolutions of Respect. Six | members were appointed to act asan escort for the body to the train and a beautiful flora tribute was ordered to be placed on his casket at the funeral, which was held in Meek’sl church on Sunday at 10 o'clock. Not-with standing the drenching rain, it was largely at. tended, six of his brothers were his pall bear- ers. Rev. R. W. Illingworth assisted by the Rev. Ermiotrout, conducted the sad services, | and it was indeed sorrowful to witness the heart felt grief at young Wilmer Bowersox’s untimely end. Al} had a kind word for him, and why one so young, he had just passed his 21st birthday and one so bright, he wonld have graduated this year, should be tak en seemed a mystery unutterably sad. At school he tried to make the best use of his time and was much liked by the faculty and students. During his early school days at New Berlin, Wilmer conrected himself with the church aud was always helpful to any good cause. His parents, #ix sisters and seven brothers mourn his death and to the surviving family the Warcumay extends its deepest sympathy at the loss of a dutiful son aud brilliant stu | dent, believing their loss to be his eternal gain. And we all should be admonished by his sud- den death tobe more devoted christians for we know not what hour we too may be ealled to give an aceount of the deeds donein the body here below. ERA. Books, Magazines Etc. An event in periodical literature, not with- out its signifieance to the general public as showing the growth of the reading classes, was the receipt on the 9th of November by The Cosmopolitan Magazine of the order given below. A single order trom a news company for one hundred tons of magazine! That is almost an event in the history of the world. A like order has never before be2n made, and if past ratios be maintained it means consid- erably more than half a million circulation ! Yet, when | for the December Cosmopolitan. the December number is examined, one is not so much surprised. It contains the only known unpublished manuscript of De Maupas- sant, illustrated by Vierge, perhaps the most famous of European illustrators; After the World's Fair, by Paul Bourget, Johu J, Ingalls Williatn Dean Howell's, Lyman J. Gage, Ar thur Sherburne Hardy, Mark Twain, Robert Grant aud others nearly as famous, and nearly two hundred illustrations, to which the follow- ing artists contribute : Hopkinson Smith, Kemble, Harry Fenn, F. 0. Small, Attwood, Henckel, Dan Beard, Reinhart and Reming- ton. Think of having the World’s Fair done by such men as Howells, Mark Twain and Paul Bourget, and sending such artists as Charles 8. Reinhart to Chicago for a single number of a magszine to be sold for only 15 cents, or by subscription 1214 cents. A book publisher, preparing such a book would not dare incur these expenses short of $5.00 a copy. Is notarevolution thatis an improve. ment upon old methods a revolution of vast importance to the reading public? The order to which reference is made reads as follows: ‘‘Publisher Cosmopolitan. Dear Sir :—Of the 200,000 copies of December number to be sent us, please send as follows : 179,650 copies ragu- lar edition, 27,250 copies R. R. edition.

As we stand on the storm—beaten shores of To-day, Gazing over the sea so blue; A wonderful land, in the distance, we see— The Land o: “Going to ao.” And beautiful cities, are built on its shores, Whose glories burst into cur views, And towers, majestic point up to the sky In the “Land of Going to do.” And wonderful castles, we've bu it in that land We have great possessions there too. And, soon, we shall sail to the fairy—like shore Of the “Land of Going to do.” We have, long ago, conquered that wonderful land, In fancy, we've traveled it through, And some day we truly shall roam o'er the hills Of the “Land of Going to do.” Each dey our old ship, “Good intentions” by name, | Sails out on the ocean blue, ! But never quite reached the magical shore | Of the “Land of the Going to d».” | But still undiseouraged, our good ship sails on, With to-morrow’s fair harbor in view, But the billows of circumstance sweep her away From the “L nd of Going to do.” | But weighing our anchor of Hope we sail on; Each day we, our courage, renew; Till the waves of Death swallow our good ship, in sight Of the “Land of Going todo.” School Report.
