SINGER, of Bellefonte Hopeful Sigms for the Democrats of Centre. That the Democrats of this county have reason $0 be hopeful of success at the polis vext month, was evidenced by the large and enthusiastic meeting of the édunty committee on Saturday last, and] the reports made of the sit. nation w the different districte. In twenty-years there has not been as full an attendance at a committee meeting and never, that we remember of, were the reports submitted as universally encouraging. Of the fifty:two districts in theoounty bat five failed to have representatives present, and of them three sent reports and reasons why it was impossible for the commitiee-men to be present. From every district the assurance was given that the party is thoreugh- lv united, that the state and county tickets are entirely satisfactory, -that every effort would be made to get out the full vote and that numbers of the party who last fall assisted the Eepub- licans to carry the county are now warmly interested in placing it again in the Democratic column. The reports further show that «cores of honest Republicans, who see the great benefit the country at large s deriving from the effects of Demo- cratic rule, and who are disgusted with the extravagances and factional .ights of the Republican leaders, have determined to vote with the Democra- cy this fall as a rebuke to the profli- gacy and corruption that characterized their state administration at Harris burg last winter. It is well for tbe Democrats to know and be eacouraged by these facts. They show the situation as it is and the prospects of success on the 6th of November. But encouraging as these reports and the signs of the times are, we must all remember that it will take work to realize the victory that is now promised. It matters not kow much harmony there is in the party, how great the de- zire to regain lost ground, how good the feeling may be among Democrats, if the Democratic wate is not gotten to the oils, these count for nothing. Scores of Republicans may, as we believe they will, vote with us this fall but how will that kelp us if the Pemo- crate are not aroused and brought <o the polls. ‘It is for the Democratic people to re: member that the county committee- men cannot do this work themselves. They must be aided and encouraged. Every Democrat can do some work and.every Democrat should do what he-oan. It is to the interest of the tax-payers that the county should be Democratic. It is to the honor of the people regard: less of party that the profligacy, the corruption, the venality, and the sub- serviency to corporate influences of the administration at Harrisburg last win- ter-should be rebuked and to secure this every good citizen should lend his aid to ‘the county committee-men in their effonts to poll the fullest Demo- cratic vote ever cast in the.county. [Pemocrats, we speak to you honest- ly. The times are ripe for,-and every thiag promises a Democratic victory on the 5th of November. Do not let the opportunity pase. Let us show that we deserve victory by working for it. There is no reason why this coun- ty should not give 800 Demeccratic majority three weeks from next Tues- day. You can make it that by getting out the vote. i ——1It looks as if Pittsburg was go- ing to capture the next Republican national convention, A guarantee fund of $65,000 is required to effect it .and that amount is clearly in sight.

Governor Clarke Determined. He Says He Will Not Allow Prize Fighting in the State of Arkansas. LirrLe Rock, Ark, Oct. 14.—The United Press correspondent found the governor this morning thoroughly de- termined to prevent the prize fight at all hazards. He says that the action of the circuit judge and the sheriff of Garland county now makes it a matter of state concern and renders him pri- marily responsible for its supptession. He is still hopeful that those in charge of the prize fighting enterprise will abandon all further attempt to bring it about there. If, however, this does not prove the case, their efforts can only be interpreted to mean that they intend to resist with force the efforts of the officers to prevent it. In this aspect of affairs the prize fight will drcp out of view and the contest will be one between the power of the state and that of the invading forces of the prize fighting contingent, The governor has ro doubt of the re. sult ot a conflict between these. That the authority and dignity of the state will be maintained goes without say- ing. If this should not prove to be the case and the prize fight take place, in spite of the efforts of the officers and the people, the governor says he will resign hie office and in future leave the enforcement of the laws and the resis: tance to invasion to more competent hands. WILL FIGHT IN MEXICO. Er Paso, Tex., Oct. 14.—A report from the City ot Mexico, received here this morning, says that President Diaz has stated that the Corbett-Fitzsim- mons fight on the borderis a matter for the state government to manage -and, therefore, he has left it with the governor, Ahumada, of Chihuahua. It is regarded here as settled that the fight will come off at Juarez. The town is greatly excited. Dates of Farmers’ Institutes. Harrisburg, Oct. 14.—Deputy secre. tary of agriculture Hamilton announ- ces the following dates for farmers’ in- stitutes in the western counties : Centre, January 23; Huntingdon, Feb. 5; Bedford, Feb. 7; Blair, Feb. 10; Cambria, Feb. 15; Somerset, Feb. 14 ; Fayette, Feb. 17; Greene, Feb. 19; Washington, Feb. 21 ; Allegheny, Feb. 24 ; Westmoreland, Feb. 26 ; Indiana, Feb. 28 ; Armstrong, March 2; Butler, March 4; Beaver, March 9; Mercer, March 11 ; Venango, March 13 ; Craw- ford, March 16 ; Erie, March 18 ; War- ren, March 20; Korest, March 23; Clarion, March 25; Jefferson, March 27 ; Clearfield, March 30. A considerable reduction has been made in the amount of money allowed to each local manager below that of last year. This has been mude necessary be- cause of the reduced appropriation by the. Legislature, and partly by the change of plan whereby the department will furnish three and possibly four in- stitute workers to each institute free of expenses to the Jocal manager. This aid is expected to much more than com- pensate for any loss occasioned by the reduced amount of cash the local mana- ger will: receive and will tend to strengthen the work in important par- ticulars. Fatal Wreck Near Altoona. The passenger train and water train running in opposite directions on the same track collided near Allegheny furnace on the Hollidaysburg branch railroad about 6:40 Wednesday morn- ing, badly wrecking both engines and a number of cars.

A Bmall Fire. ATLANTA, Ga., October 15.— There was considerable excitement on the midway at the exposition grounds this morning, occasioned by a fire which started in thee building occupied by the Old Negro Plantation, one of the con- cessions on the midway, and which goon caught on to the uncompleted arena of the Hagenbeck show. That building was entirely destroyed, but a considerable portion of the plantation building was saved. The buildings burned rapidly and for a while on ac- count of the west wind blowing, it was feared the whole midway was doomed. The firemen, however, succeeded in getting it under control, and soon had it extinguished. SU Before and After. From the Louisville Courier-Jouznal The Pennsylvania Republicans at- tribute the prosperity of the country to the new tariff law, but say it is be- cauee it was amended in the senate. Less than a year ago they said it was a free trade tariff. This illustrates the difference between ‘‘before and af- ter taking.’ 600 Were Killed.

The Body of the Murdered Woman Has Bfn Found. YorkoHAMA, Oct. 16.—A dispatch re- ceived here from Seoul says that the body of the murdered queen of Corea has been found. NEW YORK, Oct. 16.—A special cable dispatch to the Herald from St. Pet- ersburg, says: It is said that Prince Lobanoff will return here at once, in consequence of recent events in Corea. The opinion is expressed in government circles that unwelcome reforms imposed by Japan upon the Corean government are the sources of all the trouble. It is thought that the powers already allied for intervention between China and Japan should take over Corean af- fairs from the Japanese. Prince Loban- off’s absence, however, leaves much in doubt. SAN Francisco, Oct. 16.—Advices by mail from Tokio, Japan, dated Sep- tember 27, state that Japan has been forced to comply with Russia’s demand for a speedy withdrawal of the Japanese troops from Liao Tung. France and Germany joined in the demand, and the Japanese government was in no position to defy three European powers. The announcement of Russia’s purpose took Japan by surprise. This proceeding has caused renewed bitterness in Japan against Europeans. The Japanese also charge their own_minister with conniv- ing at the nation’s dishonor. * ——— Voted to Strike. Miners of Central and Northern Pennsylvania Want an Advance. CLEARFIELD, Pa., Oct. 16.—The dele- gates representing the 20,000 semi- bituminous coal miners of central and northern Pennsylvania in convention here to-day voted to strike on Satur- day, October 19, for the 5 cents per ton advance asked for at the Philipsburg convention October 2.
