intentionally, and they will please re-
port to the chairman of the committee

historical association, they may be wil-
ling to loan for the exhibition. This
request extends to all parts of the
county, and if persons having any such

tee it will be highly appreciated.

per ; to Miss Sallie Benner, Miss Min-

PROVENDER FOR PRISONERS.— When
a close knowledge is had of the doings
in the kitchen department of any of our
penal institutions much of their terror
is removed. It was once the general
impression that convicts are punished
by partial starvation, but lately the sin-
gular fact that men or boys, who have
been once behind prison bars, often try
to get sent back by doing some petty
crime, hasled to an investigation of
the reason for such strange actions.
This has led to the discovery that pris-
oners are nearly always fed most liber-
ally. For instance, the inmates of the
Huntingdon Reformatory ate up the fol-
lowing during the month of April.
“7,522 pounds of beef, 59 pounds of
butter, 166 pounds of bologna, 60
pounds of barley, 1,442 pounds of beans,
27 pounds of snaps, 100 pounds of corn
meal, 419 pounds of coffee, 385 pounds
of cheese, 91 dozen of eggs, § pounds of
ginger, 835 shud, 1000 pounds of cake,
106 pounds of flour, 9 pounds of malt,
340 pounds of oat-flake, 84 bushels of
onions, 5 pounds of hops, 760 pounds of
salt pork, 15,958 pounds of potatoes, 33
pounds of pepper. 2,111 pounds of pud-
ding, 160 pounds of prunes, 1,038
pounds of raisins, 560 pounds of rice, 5
pounds of soda, 759 pounds of sugar,
708 pounds of salt, 331 gallons of syrup,
45 pounds of tea, 1 barrel of vinegar, 10
bushel of beets, 1,450 heads of cabbage,
202 pounds of lard, 167 gallons of milk,
8 barrels of sauer kraut, 69 gallons of
tomatoes and 4,980 pounds of turnips.”
FREEZING MAY WEATHER. — A
writer in Monday’s Lock Haven Ez-
press shows up the remarkable change
in temperature this section experienced
last Saturday as follows :
The heavy thunder showers that pre-
vailed Saturday afternoon and night
marked the close of a heated term of sev-
en days which for steady high tempera-
ture beat all records.
The climax of the heat was reached
last Friday, when the mercury rose to
95} degrees in this city, which was
about the general average throughout
the county.
A “cold wave’ which advanced rap-
idly from the northwest caused heavy
rains and some hail storms Saturday af-
ternoon and sent the mercury down rap-
idly during Sunday night. This morn-
ing the self registering thermometer at
the residence of Prof. John A. Robb,
volunteer weather observer, registered
at 33 degrees, showing a fall of 62} de-
grees.
Frosts are reported to have fallen in
many places in the county. In Nit.
tany valley the ground was frozen ana
ice as thick as common window glass
was formed on shallow ponds. There
was a slight scum of ice on vessels of
water in exposed places at Myerstown.
What effect the ‘‘freeze will have on
fruit crops and vegetation can not be
told yet. Some farmers who were in
town to-day say their corn is already
through the ground and is hurt by the
frost, while others say their corn crops
were only planted a few days ago.
The greatest damage, no doubt, has
been done to the fruit.”

——Harry Herbert, of Munson’s
station, aged 31 years, accidently shot
and killed him-self last Saturday morn-
ing. He had been down to the creek

maturely and blew his brains out.
——On Saturday Wm. Horner had
Theodore McNicols, who lives at the

bitten a number of people so its owner
was released only on condition that he
would pay the costs and kill the dog.
——To-morrow the first brew beer of
the Roopsburg brewery will be put on
the market. After having been closed
for years the place was given a license

The Roopsburg beer was very good in
former days and if it comes up to its old
time standard now it will be assured of
success.
——The much talked of forty mile
race that was to have been trotted off in
ten mile heats by two Philipsburg horses
on June 10th, has been declared off.

backed out. The purse was to have
been $400, half of it having been already
up, and both horses were in training.

As the lecture will be free everyone
should grasp this opportunity of hearing
a man’s views on money who has ex-
cited interest in many of the large
cities.
——Dr. J. C. McEntire, of this place,
went to Philadelphia last week to
undergo some treatment for asthma.

evening, an unknown man assaulted
him. The fellow tried to secure the
doctor’s watch, but the chain broke be-
fore he had gotten the time piece.
——A run-away horse knocked Mrs.
George Mock down on the street in
Philipsburg last Thursday. She was
wheeling her baby carriage down
Presqueisle street when the horse tried to
turn into that thoroughfare from South
Centre. It was going too fast, how-
ever, to make the turn and ran into
her. Aside from being terrible fright-
ened she suffered no ill effect from the
I accident. Mrs. Mock is a sister of Mrs,
| James D. McKee, of this place.

Dear or Mrs. HENDERSON.—The
death of Mrs. Henderson, on last Thurs-

failing health for several years and had

Buffalo Run where James and his fami-
ly still have their home. Mr. and Mrs.
Robert Henderson have lived for sever-
al years at the State College, with their

farm below town, Mrs, Jane Nolan,

Miriam REBER SHOT.—A. few days
ago Miriam, the pretty little daughter
of Capt. W. F. Reber, lately of Belle-

narrowly escaped permanent injury.
With her brother Malcolm she had
been visiting a little daughter of Mr.
Curt Moyer, at Sandy Ridge. Mac. had
his target rifle with him and one morn-
ing he went into a store out there and
laid it down on the counter. His little
sister entered a few moments later with
Mr. Moyer’s little daughter. The latter
picked the gun up and had no sooner
done so, than it went off, the bullet
striking Miriam in the temple. It

gerous. Had it been a little lower she
would have lost an eye.

playing in the carriage shed attached to

ing with matches and accidentally set

that the efforts of the firemen were all
directed to saving adjoining property.
The loss will aggregate several hundred
dollars.
