——There is no question but that
Mr. A. M. Mott, of this place, is mak-

The car-loads of stock that comes to
him, the wagonil ads of beautiful work
that is hauled away, and tke bustle and
business that is always noticeable about
his place attest thie. The why of it is
no secret. He does excellent work and
deals honestly with the people. There
is no fraud or deception about either
him or the work he sends out. He is
sure to succeed.
——The parade of Hi-Henry’s min-
strels on Monday last was a fine show-

immensely and was largely instrumental
in filling the Opera House in the éve-
ning to over flowing with a crowd.

is wishing for a good fall of snow. The
young people want it for sleighing. The
people who don’t want to look at ash-
pits and all kinds of dirt want it to
cuter up the eye-sores of a snowless
winter. Scores of folks want it for the
water it will bring, but above all the
farmer wants and needs it. At present
the fall grain is exposed to the high
winds, and fears are entertained that the
continued freezing weather will injure
the crops in their present condition.
Another cold wave may cause the wheat
crop in many places to be a failure un-
less snow comes.
A DirrFicULT JoB.—It’s the usual
custom of the newspapers, just before
the nominating convention for local
officers are held, to say to the public,
“isee that you place good men upon
your ticket.” This is an easy thing
to do—much easier than for the public
to pick out good men, or for the news-
papers to indicate who, of all the citi-
zens, would be the best to nominate.
We have charity enough to believe that
a large majority of those who take part
in a electing local tickets ac-
tually believe they are nominating and
electing the best men they can get. The
masses of the people are not schemers
—the majority of them are not rogues
—and while it is true that the schemers
and rogues often get the better of the
other fellows, it is also true, and in
many if not more instances, that the
honest part of the public elect thor-
oughly conecientious men of good busi-
ness abilities and who it is believed
will make capable, careful and honest
officials, bt who turn out to be of less
use to the public, than even the pro-
fessional schemer or” designing dema-
gogue would.
Years ago, not se—lang that it has
been forgotten, the people of this town
awakened to the fact that its financial
management was loose, and that a gen-
eral overhauling and straightening up
of matters was needed. They elected
three or four of the most responsible
citizens, and supposed to be the best
business men of the place, to council,
and then felt that the interests of the
tax-payers would be cared for and that
all would be well thereafter. Imagine
their surprise when a few months later:
they discovered that this council of
‘‘business men’ had issued twenty
year bonds at 7 per cent. for one hun-
dred thousand dollars, and had paid a
large premium in addition to the parties
who disposed of them. These bonds
had been issued without power to re-
deem, and for twenty years we paid 7
per cent interest on our public debt,
when other towns were paying but 8%
or 4 on theirs. And this was the work
of some of the most responsible business
men and property owners in the town.
But a few years ago one of our most
honored citizens—honest and public
spirited—and in whose independence
and judgment, in local matters, the
most implicit confidence was placed,
was chosen to the council and the peo-
ple generally congratulated themeelves
that his knowledge of the needs of the
town, with the influence he possessed,
would direct our local law-makers in
that way that would be most advan-
tageous to the tax payer. Again were
the people surprised on discovering that
his principle work as a councilman was,
a successful effort, to get the street upon
which his property was located graded
and McAdamized while the balance of
the streets were left without money to
make the usual repairs.
In the present council are direct
representatives of three of the largest
estates in the town—estates having
many properties to rent and whose in-
terests are identical with the best inter-
ests of the place, and yet with the ap-
proval of these representatives, for the
selfish purpose of one of these estates,
the town has been done more injury,
robbed of more of its beauty and the
health of its citizens imperriled, than
all the taxes that all of them pay would
replace or repair: We refer to the per-
mission given by council to divert the
waters of Spring Creek and the Big
Spring, from | their usual channel, in
order that the Hale estate may profit by
the sale of additional water rights.
Principally among the great natural
advantages and beauties that Bellefonte
has always boasted of, is its magnificent
spring, and the beautiful stream of
pure, clear, cold water that flows from
it, and after joining Spring Creek,
through the town. Come and see them
.to-day ! The spring is here but where the
stream ? The channel of the later, dur-
ing the day, a noisome, pestilent-breed-
ing, uncovered sewer ; its sides lined
and stinking with the filth of the town
drains ; its slimy rocks and unwashed
sewer mouths an eye-sore to the pub-
lic and a disgrace to the town—an every
day evidence of the incompetence or
carelessness of a council that has per-
mitted it to be made what it is. -
‘With such evidence of the work of
men who should and do know better—
of men whose business standing and
personal interests would indicate them
to be exactly the kind of men to be
chosen for the positions they held ;
men whose every interest depends upon
the welfare, the beauty, the prosperity
and the health of the town—is it to be
wondered at that the people have be-
come discouraged and scarcely know
who to trust ur what to do in the mat-
ter of nominations.
We hope however, disheartened as
our people may be, that both parties
will be able to place in nomination to-
morrow night, men who have ro axes
the situation to have to grind other
people’s axes, and who when elected,
will have intelligence, independence
and courage enough to care for the
town and the towns best interests. Can
such men be found ? It is almost too
| much to hope for.

——After an illness extending through
many months Mrs. Mary Jane Hender-
shot calmly passed from this life, at her
home at Valentines Forge, on Sunday
evening. The deceased was the widow
of D. J. Hendershot, a member of 45th

He married a Miss McCalmont, and
settled down as a farmer, which occupa-
tion he followed almost constantly since.
He was known as one of the most suc-
cessful fruit growers in the county, and
as an honest, upright citizen. He was
78 years of age and leaves a family of
grown children.
——1t has always been as matter of
great doubt among those conversant
with the subject, whether the coal dust
accumulating in bituminous mines was
explosive or not. On Saturday last, in
Eureka Mine No. 7, at Ramey, Clear-
field county, an explosion occurred
severely burning four men and setting
fire to the mine. The fire was quickly
extinguished, however, and no damage
was done by it. Mine Inspector Knap-
per, who has since investigated the cause,
attributes it to the fine dust igniting
directly after a shot had been fired by |
dynamite, which, if correct, would go to’
prove that the bituminous mines of this
section have the same dangers lurking
within them, that has always made the
Anthracite mines such death traps.
——Dr. Jas. M. Perdue, well known
to most of our readers in the upper end
of the county, and who has many rela.
tives in that section, died at his home in
Tyrone on Monday last, from general
prostration resulting from protracted
rheumatism, from which he has been a
sufferer for many months. Dr. Perdue
was born at Milesburg, seventy-four
years ago. He was the son of Dr, Ed-
ward Perdue, who practiced medicine in
Half-moon valley for the greater part of
a life time, and died in Stormstown
some twenty odd years ago. In early
life the deceased chose the dental pro-
fession for his lifework, and continued
in its practice until sickness called him
from the chair a few months ago. He
was married twice, his first wife, who
was Miss Harriet Bare, died soon after
marriage. He afterwards was married
to Miss Susan Burket, sister of Dr. Geo.
W. Burket, of Tyrone, to whom were
born four sons and one daughter.
He practiced his profession for many
years at Stormstown and removed to
Tyrone with his family about 18 years
ago, where he has continued the busi-
ness since that time. He was a mem-
ber of the M. E. church for 57 years,
joining the church when a boy of 17
years. He joined Post 172, G. A. R.,
April 28, 1888, and remained a member.

Poor Prospects For TrouT Fism-
ING.—After all the money that has
been spent by the State, and the time
and attention that has been given by
our people, to stock and protect the
trout streams of this section, it is now
almost a certanity, that for seasons to:
come, there will be fewer streams in
which trout will be found and fewer
trout in those that do have any, than
has been known since our streams were
first fished. For years the streams of
this county have furnished the best trout
fishing to be found in the state, there
being some thirty in all, from any of
which a fair catch could be taken at any
time during the season. But
drought of last summer and the ex-
treme cold weather already experienced
this winter has ended this, A trip
through the country shows that, not-
withstanding the rains of the early part
of the present month, two-thirds of the
creeks referred to are, or were a week
ago, frozen completely dry. In these,
of course no trout will be found until
they are re-stocked and the fish have
time to grow to the size at which the
law allows them to be taken.
With the exception of the Little Mo-
shannon, Beech and Marsh Creeks.
Penn's Creek, Logans Branch and
Spring Creek, we doubt if, under pres-
ent conditions, thereis a basket of live
trout in all the streams of the county.
The iacredulous sportsman, who has
thought little and seen nothing of the
condition of our creeks, will possibly
doubt this, but the writer who has been
over the ground and speaks only of what
be knows and has seen, is certain that
the worst predictions herein made will
be verified next spring, when the hope-
ful angler goes forth to bag his usual
catch.
Of the creeks that we have named as
still being open there are miles and miles
of most of them that are frozen asdry
as are their tributaries. In the upper
three miles of Marsh Creek, (which by
the way has furnished the best trout
fishing in the county for several years);
and for five miles along the upper end
of Beech Creek, you would not find as
much water as a horse would drink.
The Little Moghannon, is frozen dry
for miles near itssource and even Spring
Creek, from the Bear Meadow moun-
tains, almost down to where it enters the
valley above Boalsburg, is frozen to the
ground.

A Fire ALArRM.—Just about the
time that every body was most anxious
to stay in bed, on Tuesday morning, the
town was startled by the hoarse sound
of the fire whistle, which brought people
to their windows, and the few who were
up out into the street, to inquire where
the fire was. The firemea who never
seem to sleep, or if they do it must
i be with their clothes on, were on hand
promptly and soon discovered smoke is-
suing from the cellar in the basement of
PrILIPSBURG Lona Ago. — Richard
Plumber, E:q , of San Francisco, Cal.,
who was a resident of Philipsburg, this
county, sixty years ago, writing to the
Rev. F. J. Clerc, D. D, of early days
in that town says: “I could furnish
some additional points to the credit of
the old place and its early history that
the history omits. Such a fact to com-
mence with as that a well maintained
military volunteer company was started
there as early as 1826, numbering 100
men, and kept up some years, com-
manded by Capt’. John Matthias, who
afterwards left Philipsburg in 1828,
and became editor of the Blairsville
Record.
The organization of the screw manu-
facturing company in 1822, was a pretty
beginning for that early day, costing
the residence of Mr. Emil Joseph on the
| corner of High and Spring streets. It
| was but the work of a few moments to
extinguish the little fire that was found,
caused, it is said, by the carelessness of
a servant who gat a lighted candle upon
a chair in the cellar and forgot it. When
the candle, which was without a holdar,
burned down it set fire to the chair and
from that comunicated to some packing
that was near by. The only loss sus-
tained was the loss of sleep on the part
of the people who were awakened by the
alarm a few hours earlier than they are
accustomed to be.
Aunt MARY REESE.--The people
in the vicinity of Valentines Iron works
were shocked on Monday afternoon by
the announcement of the death of
“Aunt” Mary Reese, after and illness
of but a few days. On Friday of last
weak, she was stricken with paralysis
but advanced age, and the severity of
the stroke, lett no hope of even partial
recovery, and the end came about 2
o'clock on the day named. She was
over 80 years of age and known to al-
most everybody within miles of her
home, for her many kind acts, her neigh-
borly efforts to assist those in trouble,
and her attention and devotion to the
gick. Until incapacitated by age she
was the general nurse ot the neighbor-
hood, and no matter whether rich or
poor demauded her services, her will-
ing bands and kindly disposition was
ready to alleviate distress wherever
found. It will be long years, before
the memory of Aunt Mary Reeses’
good deeds, passes from the recollection
of our people. May she rest in peace.
body of trout seen in the smaller tribu-
taries during the summer go down to,
the deeper waters of the larger streams
during the winter, is correct, it cannot
apply to present conditions for the rea-
son that most of our smaller streams
were so low last fall thau the trout that
were in them were huddled together in
pools unable to get either up or down.
In most cases these pools have since
been frozen to the ground and are as dry
as waterless streams can be.
It is not a bright outlook for. the
gportsman, but such it is and such it
will remain. Those who doubt 1t, be-
cause heretofore we have had fall
drouths and winter freezes and no such
general destruction of fish, have only to
remember that never before in the
history of the county has such a severe
drouth as that of last fall been followed
by freezing weather before the drouth
was broken or the streams fairly filled.
If this fact will not satisfy them let
them go and see the condition of our
streams themselves and understand, that
for years to come, there will be fewer
‘speckled beauties” taken from the
streams of this county than has gen-
erally been the case.
AN Op CiTizEN GoNE. — Worn
out by old age and full of the honors
that follow a well spent life. Mr. Alex-
ander Kerr, one of the oldest, if not the
oldest citizen of Potter township, peace-
fully passed from this to the life to
come on the 21st inst. Mr. Kerr
was in his 9lst year at the
time of his death. Most of this
long period had been spent in the town-
ship in which his remains will be laid
to rest this, Friday, morning. He was
a plain, unasuming, honest man. One
of the kind that makes a community
respectable and influential. Of more
than ordinary intelligence and with the
purest motives he always commanded
the respect and; esteem of all who knew
him. For years he filled the position of
county surveyor, and for one term was
county auditor, accepting the latter
place under protest, but performing its
duties impartially and conscientiously,
as he did every duty imposed upon him.
Politically he was a Democrat, and was
frequently importuned to accept the
nomination. for important county offices
but steadily refused, preferring the qui-
et life on a farm to the turmoils and ex-
citement incident to political life. In
his party faith he was as unswerving as
he was in his sturdy integrity, and unti)
prevented by physical ailments, always
took an active part in the councils, and
work of his party. He leaves two sons
William and David, and one daughter,
Mrs. Mary Odenkirk.

Mgrs. Rute BRuce PorTER.— From
j the Brookville Democrat, we get the
i following announcement of the death of
a former resident of this county and
who, doubtless, is still remembered by
the older residents ot Penns Valley :
‘Mrs. Ruth Bruce Potter was born
in Penns Valley, Centre county, Pa., in
1811, and died December 29th, 1895, at
her late home on the turnpike, in Clar-
ion township, Clarion county, Pa. Her
early years were spent in Centre connty,
where she was married to J. F. Potter
about 1837. She was one of a large
family, and was the last to pass away.
In the spring of 1838 she and her hus-
band came to Clarion township, Clarion
county, where ‘they traveled together
the pathway of life until 1882, when the
husband was called away to his long
home. Since then she has continued to
live at the homestead with her daught-
ers, who have helped to make her last
days her best days. In early life she
united with the Presbyterian church,
and was 8 consistent member of the
New Rehobeth church, near Strattan-
ville, at her death. For several years
past she was not able to get out to the
sanctuary, but her interest in the
church of her choice hever failed, and
she delighted to hear of prosperity com-
ing not only to ber own church, but to
the whole church of Christ. At her
request services were held occasionally
at her home by the pastors of the nearby
churches.”

a large. number of persons, and was of

It will perhaps surprise the coal pro-
prietors and miners of the present day
to learn the price at which coal was
su pplied the town in early times. My
father got his supply for years from
Squire Line who owned a coal bank
just across the Moshannon on the old
Kylersville road, at the rate of 3 to &
cents a bushel delivered and which was
the general price. Men were low in
those days, $10 per month and board,
ra ted at $2 per week was the figure, and
all matters of domestic production wefe
comparatively low. Dry goods and
foreign groceries were high ; common
low price calicoes were worth 20 cents,
and very common cotton muslins the
same and up to 40 cents for fair shirt-
ing. Most people wore their own wool*
en clothing in those days and bought
few store goods. The best beef was sold
at 3 cents per pound and pork about the
same, mutton about 2 cents. Flour wa’
generally worth about $2 per 100 and
buckwheat not so much, upon which
the country people mostly lived. Good
maple sugar was worth some 8 cents,
while common brown imported sugar
brought 16 cents, tea and coffee quite
high, butter and eggs only worth 4 to 5
cents per pound and dozen.”
WorTH TRYING.—A friénd up along
Buffalo Run told us the other day that
he has marketed double the quantity of
eggs this winter usual with him, and
attributes it to the fact that he feeds his
hens every day one meal of boiled pota-
toes, warm. As potatoes are plenty
and the cooking of them would not be
much trouble the expariment might be
worth trying by others who have
chickens.
