& spare form of Missouri’s chief executive rose from his place on the platform and came forward to give formal notification to Messrs. Bryan and Sewall of their nomina- tion by the Democratic convention. When Governor Stone concluded with the ‘notification of his nomination to Mr. Bryan, a man began to wave a big Amer- ican flag over the latter's head. People jumped to their feet and shouted with a vim. Cheer followed cheerand for a min- ute or two pandemonium reigned. The crowd went wild with enthusiasm and lung power was drawn on to an alarming extent. But this demonstration had its ending in the desire of the people to hear the speech to which they had been looking forward so anxiously, and when the man with the flag came down to where Mr. Bryan was sitting and fastened the stand- ard in a corner of the stand, the cheering ceased and everybody watched with inter- est while Mr. Bryan helped the banner waver to fix the staff in place. When Chairmau Danforth stepped for- ward and introduced Mr. Bryan men wav- ed their coats and their hats, while women fluttered fans and handkerchiefs as only women can. The band struck up a livelv air and added to the din. Mr. Bryan held up his hand for silence. It was like an incentive to yell. louder. Mr. Bryan stepped to the front and cen- ter of the speaker’ tform. In his hand he held a manusctipt copy of his speech. His face was pale, but he was cool and calm. . Mr. Bryan read from manuscript but oc- casionally he dropped the sheets of paper and spoke earnestly and vehemently with- out looking at them. During Mr. Bryan’s speech he was fre- quently interrupted by cheers of approval. When in concluding, Mr. Bryan said he expected the co-operation of all present, a voice cried : ‘“You have it,”’ and the audi- ence roared in unison. The peroration was spoken without a glance atthe manuscript and for that rea- son it had greater effect. The closing words approached in eloquent feeling some of the telling points in the Chicago speech, but it was obvious that the wonderful de- livery was gone temporarily and there was an unmistakably huskiness in Mr. Bryan’s tones.

Aikens and wife are home from a month's visit in York county. Catharine Lutts, of Bellefonte, is taking her first lesson in dairying this week. One night last week Ed Moore's granary was robbed of some wheat and several large hams. Reuben Hammar is seriously ill at the home of his son-in-law, W. H. Sausserman at Altoona, where he is visiting. Grandmother Bell is up from Harrisburg for a two weeks’ visit to her friends at te Glades. Her daughter Amanda, is with her. ‘On Monday evening the 24th Rev. Pohiman and Rev. Geo. P. Gall will give an illustrated lecture in the Pine Hall Lutheran church at 7:30. Banker McWilliams, of McVeytown, visited his broad acres this week. He owns many farms in the valley but is confident that banking pays bet- ter than farming. John Keichline, Jr., came up from Bellefonte, last week to take a hand at farming; but with the thermometer at 105° in the shade, he was ready to rest under every tree. He is certainly a chip of the old block. The ladies of the Pine Grove Lutheran church will serve ice cream and other refreshments at the Farmer's Institute and Harvest Home on Saturday, 22nd inst, Proceeds will be for the new church window fund. " The sheep dogs are stil] at large and our town- ship auditors have had several claims to ad- just. J. G. Bailey, William Flory, T. A. Frank, W. A. Tanyer, Adam Felty and John Foster are all on the war path for the dogs that killed their sheep. It appears tax collector Port did not go to Ohio to boon McKinley but to purchase a tobacco and news stand: We sincerely wish him success in his new enterprise and, hope that the broken hearts he has left will soon be healed. John B. Hess has been appointed collector in his stead. Last Sunday morning J. A. Decker met with an accident that came very near ending his earthly career. While taking his family out for a drive the harness broke and incited the horse to ‘run away. It upturned the carriage over a steep embankment and for a time it was feared that all of the occupants had been killed. Mr. Decker was badly bruised, clothing torn into shreds. His wife was more un- fortunate as her hip bone was broken and her head verygeeriously hurt. The baby in her arms was taken up in a dazed condition but a thorough examination did not reveal any serious injur- ies. The mother and child’s escape seems mirac- ulous as they were both under the carriage with the wheel almost crushing them down when the horse fell down causing a sudden standstill. A MgeMorABLE Birtapay.—On Wednesday the 5th, the 78th hirthday of John Shannon McCor- mick was celebrated at his home with pleasing festivities. Forty of his descendents were pres- ent. His only sister, Mrs. Carson, of Spring Mille, Philip Walters, of Snydertown, and many others attended the reunion to wish the honora- ble old gentleman many years of actfity and hap- piness. He is—and always has been—remarka- ble for his rare good humor, his genial hospitality and his fund of pleasing anecdotes which were all in evidence at the birthday. ferred to the vicissitudes and privations of his early life, the comforts and happiness of his later day, and of the glory and exaltation that awaited . him in the life beyond. had his head cut and his. ile feelingly re-. Potter’s Mills. Did you ever see a straw party, a real straw party without any polishing? On Tuesday one came over to Reishe’s hotel from Centre Hall, The turnout consisted of a genuine hay wagon filled with straw and some twenty jolly souls perched upon the straw. The register at the Eutaw house shows that “‘Spike’’ Smith and wife chaper- oned the following personages at the hotel where they had a splendid time. D. W. Geiss straddled the saddle horse and hand- led the team while Prof E. J. Wolf took charge of the brake. The party consisted of the Misses Anna Shoop, Jennie Odenkirk, Roxanna Brisbane, Emily and Grace Alexan- der, Grace Smith, Verna Geiss, Anna Mingle, Mable Boal, May Barton, Pleasant View : Lizzie Hartman, Williamsport : Messrs.

Rossman, John Van Pelt and Arney Lee. < Centre Hall. ood The water company and Jake From are having a time. The story is this—Jake From has water on his premises that the water company covets, and to get possession of the spring is what is causing the trouble— more trouble than either party anticipated in the beginning. Last week one day the water company sent a party of workmen to build a reservoir on From’s territory and when Jake heard of it he hurried to the scene. From scared the workmen off his territory with all kinds of threats. The lab- orers reported the attack of the enemy to the company, J. D. Murray, F. Kurtz and D. F. Luse, who immediately repaired to the seat of war but From had taken a defensive position. The company advanced in a solid body to the fence that enclosed From’s do- main, when he demanded a halt. To empha- size his order he picked up a stone and told Mr. Murray that ihe would advance a step further his brains would be knocked out. Mr. Murray boldly advanced however and climbed upon the fence, but the others thought discretion the better part of valour and they kept out of danger’s way. It looks very much as though the wator company had the bulge on From, as he was arrested for threatening the officials lives, and to settle Port Matilda Pointers. The oats crop in this section has been put away in good condition. A. W. Reese, one of our successful merchants, is building an addition to his store room and when completed it will be one of the largest in the county. Mrs. Zora Barr, of Tyrone, who made a trip to a Philadelphia hospital for the benefit of her health, a few weeks ago, has returned, owing to the extremely hot weather in the city. : The pike fishing season has been good thus far. Master Gilbert Minnick, grand-son of Rev. Minnick, of this place, caught quite a nice lot of them on Saturday. One measured 22 inches and weighed 2} lbs. Some of Bryan’s admirers from this place drove up to Tyrone, on Tuesday, to get a look at their ideal. They were more than satisfied. Philip says he saw him but could not get through the crowd to shake hands, though Wharton did. We noticed an item in last week’s Gazette to the effect that George Woodring led our band at the picnic last Saturday. Such was not the case. Its regularly acknowledged leader, Stuart Jones, led the boys and did it in an efficient manner too. . State College and Vicinity. Cap’t Leyden and wife are visiting at Phil. Foster's. Miss Hattie P.

Flour is delivered here from Farmer's Mills, Howard and other places. A mill should be erected on the site, one mile from Nittany, where farmers would not suffer the present inconvenience.
