play at Hecla, on Saturday.

You REMEMBER THEO. C. KNAUFF—
Early last sprihg Mr. Theo. C. Knauff, a
supposed monetary expert from Philadel-
phia, came to Bellefonte to deliver a lec-
ture on what he was then pleased to term
“sound money.” At that time there was
no political campaign on hand, no discus-
sion among the masses as to the condition
of our monetary system and very little be-
lief that the paramount issue of the present
campaign would be as itis. In the light
of existing circumstances it cannot fail of
being evident to every one that at that
early date the gold or money handling
class were beginning to be disturbed by the
unrest among the people ; that unrest
brought on by hard times, low wages and
no work, and in order to forestall any ef-
fort along political lines to overthrow the
great bonanza they hold they had carefully
planned a series of deceptive lectures
through-out the country.
That tour of Mr. Knauff’s was its begin-
ning. It was calculated to reach people
who could not be appealed to by the bul-
letins which the sound money league of
Pennsylvania had been sending out for
months before. Mr. Knauff came to Belle-
fonte and gave his lecture. As a magic
lantern show it will be remembered as a
delightful success. Asan educating lec-
ture, it was a stupendous fizzle. The
WATCHMAN expre ssed the same opinion
of it at the time.
Mr. Knauff was in other towns on that
tour and among them he stopped at Car-
lisle. In that place the editor of the Her-
ald, a radical Republican paper, attended
the lecture and commented on it in his pa-
per in the following ;
“The repeal of the silver act virtually dem-
onectized silver. The United States has been
placed in the position of repudiation of the
coin upon which it has stamped the assertion
“In God we trust’ and that it isof a certain
value. For two yearsand half it has been
going out of the country, into the vaults of
foreign banks. And yet the credit of the
Government of the United States is so strong
that promises to pay command a premium of
more than ten per cent, and foreigners and
natives tumble over each other in their ef-
forts te get those promises in exchange for
gold. The gold is obtained and the gold coin
falacy in turn sends the coin bought by the
government bonds to swell the amount in
vaults of foreign banks.
This country is big enough to strike out for
itselfa financial policy free from the dictation
of English capitalists or of the Bank of Eng-
land, known as ‘The Old Lady of Thread-
needle Street?’ The threat made to, force
this country to buy gold for foreign banks
through our mistaken gold standard, is that
English capitalists will throw upon the mar-
ket our securities held by them. If they do
who will fix the price of the securities—the
buyer or seller 2 If we buy back our securi-
ties fixed by ourselves the sale of them will not
hurt us however much it may trouble us to!
raise the funds for the time being, and in the
end we will be the gainers. Those who are
fighting the coinage of silver have had a trial
of the gold standard with disastrous results.
They should cease to be the emissaries of for-
cign capitalists and join hands in establish-
ing a currency of our own of gold, silver and
paper money, backed by the credit of the
Government, and the esablishment of such a
revenue as will help keep the public treasury
fall.”
We publish this just to show our readers
how early the banking classes began to set
up their pins to keep themselves in-
trenched behind the wall of gold that has
become well nigh impregnable to labor.
Mr. Knauff did not ask a cent for his work
here. He was not doing it for glory, how-
ever, for he was not the kind of a
man who would win much glory as
a lecturer. He was paid by the
goldites. Paid, what for? For trying
to educate the people to a wrong belief.
While the Herald is advocating. the doc-
trine today, that Knauff advocated then, it
cannot refute the true belief it held be-
fore party prejudice drove it to desert
its conscience to support a theory its words
above declare impractical and un-American.

A BLANKET, SURE ENouGH.—The bal-
lot that will be voted at the election, on
November 3rd, will be the largest ever
used since the Baker law has gone into ef-
fect. In Centre county it will be about
27x27. They will be ten columns in
width, headed in the following order : Re-
publican, Democratic, Prohibition, Peoples,
Socialist Labor, National, Free Silver,
McKinley Citizen’s, Jeffersonian and the
regular blank column. Three of the ten
will carry Bryan electors.
The most material change in the ballot
will be the doing away with the voting by
‘groups. Under the law, as originally
passed, there would have been national,
congressional and local groups, one mark
at the head of each voting the entire group,
or a mark in the circle over all voting the
straight ticket. Under that arrangement
it was possible to cut the ticket in any of
the groups without having to resort to the
plan of marking in all the squares opposite
the names in the other groups. But as the
ballot will be printed this fall there will be
no grouping. One mark in the circle at
the top will vote the straight ticket, but if
cutting is intended a mark will have to be
made in the square opposite every elector’s
name, as well as those opposite the names
“of candidates for county office.
If you vote the ticket straight one mark
will do. If you cut it forty-seven will he

THE OPERA HOUSE OPENING. — Next
Wednesday night, Oct. 28th, Garman’s
opera house will be opened for the season
of 1896-97 by the production of the pretty
romantic Irish play “Garry Owen.” Mr.
Tony Farrell, well known to Bellefonte
theatre goers is starring with a strong caste,
in which Miss Jennie Leland, known as the
maid of Erin, is the leading lady.
The play depicts the hardships of life in
Ireland under the land-lord system and
while it is full of pathos and excitement
there is lots of room for the specialties that
are pleasingly introduced by clever artists.

THE CAMPBELL-MEEK WEDDING.—
The prominence of the bride’s parents and
their well known hospitality, her popular-
ity, a bright, beautiful October day, a
house full of merry, congenial guests,
with flowers, music and refreshments in
abundance made the wedding of Nannie
Milligan Campbell and Herbert De L.
Meek an event of importance and
pleasure. : ?
The marriage was solemnized at noon,
yesterday, at the home of the bride’s par-
ents, Mr. and Mrs. H. C Campbell, near
Fairbrook, in this county. Miss Mary
Campell, the bride’s sister, played the
wedding march and promptly at twelve
o’clock appeared the wedding party : the
maid of honor, Miss Mary Meek, the
groom’s sister ; the best man, John Camp-
bell and the bride and groom with the two
ushers, Messrs. Bailey and Campbell. The
bride, who is an accomplished musician and
a capable, practical girl versed well in the
making of a comfortable home, wore a go-
ing away gown of brown. Rev. Asbury
Guyer, of the Methodist church, performed
the ceremony after which a breakfast, such
as the Campbells -alone know how to pre-
pare, was served.
Guests were present from Altoona, Ty-
rone, Bellefonte and the surrounding coun-
try to the number of about seventy-
five and they enjoyed the pleasing
hospitality so graciously afforded. Af-
ter the wedding trip to Washington and
i Point Comfort the young people will go to
| housekeeping at State College, where the
groom owns a drug store. He is a son of
D. L. Meek, of Waddle’s station, and is
| capable of a prosperous, happy life, which
|
| we wish them.

Bellefonters are interested in _ it because it
will be observed that the groom is one of
our very popular young men. Michael F.
Hazel, of the firm of Beezer and Hazel
meat and produce dealers at the corner of
High and Allegheny streets, is the gentle-
man who has just given up bachelor-hood
for the pleasanter relations of married life.
He is a genial fellow and it will be the
hope of his many friends here that the new
life will be as Kingsley describes it, ‘‘One
grand sweet song.” The bride and groom
arrived in this place, yesterday morning,
and were driven to the Hazel homestead, on
Spring creek, where a reception was given
them.
‘An interesting wedding occurred Tues-
day morning, at9 o’clock, during the cele-
bration of nuptial mass at St. Mary's
church, by Rev. D. Zwickert, the pastor.
It was the marriage of Mr. Michael F.
Hazel, of Bellefonte, to Miss Susanna E.
Enzbrenner, of this city. Mr. Harry C.
Taylor, of Bellefonte, and Miss Marie
Lauchbacher, of this city, a cousin of the
bride, were the attendants. A large num-
ber of friends of the contracting parties
witnessed the ceremony. At the conclu-
sion of the rites the wedding breakfast was
served at the home of the bride, 1623 Fifth
avenue, were Mr. and Mrs. Hazel were the
recipients of congratulations and many
handsome presents. They departed Tues-
day afternoon for a trip West and on their
return they will take up residence in Belle-
fonte, where the groom is engaged in
business. Mr. Hazel is a very popular
young business man of Centre county and
enjoys quite an extensive acquaintance in
this city. His bride is a most estimable
young lady, well prepared to assume the
duties of her new station in life.’

Monroe Armor was present and com-
plained that the condition of east Linn and
Armor streets is very bad. The Street com-
mittee reported various improvements in
pavements and streets.
The Water committee reported that the
request of Peter Mendes to have water ser-
vice extended to his east High street prop-
erty had been granted. In regard to ex-
tending water from the C. M. Bower prop-
erty, on east Linn street, to Wilson street,
the committee reported that an agreement
had been made with the Armor estate
whereby it would pay $1.75 per lot if
council would lay a 4 inch pipe instead of
a 1 inch as it intended doing.
In regard to the complaint that east Linn

WILL THE PROJECT FAIL.—A special
meeting of the board of trade was called
for last Tuesday night but not enough
members could be counted to constitute a
quorum for business purposes.
The meeting had been called for the pur-
pose of consulting with the men who are try-
ing to start the Bellefonte glass works on the
told in the WATCHMAN. The glass men
able to secure only $1,600 in pledges of the
desired $3,000. It was their intention to
ask the board to appoint a committee to
help them raise the balance of $1,400.
This was not done because the meeting
could not be called to order.
It is beginning to look as if this scheme
to get the glassworks started will fall
through, unless our people waken up pretty
soon. It seems ridiculous that an industry
as valuable as that to our tradespeople
should be left stand idle for the small sum
of $3,000.
News Purely Personal.
—Mrs, E. R. Chambers and Mrs. Harry Schrey-
er left, Tuesday morning early,for a short stay in
Philadelphia.
—Harry Taylor, the Adams express messenger,
spent Tuesday in Altoona. He was aguest at the
Hazel-Enzbrenner wedding.
—Miss Cora Ruhle, a daughter of William
Ruhle, of Pittsburg, is- visiting her aunt, Mrs.
Jennie Derr, of High street. _
—Mrs. Joseph Thomas and Mrs. W. C. Grove, of
Milesburg, were in town shopping on Wednes-
day. Both ladies are staunch Democrats and
very much interested in the outcome of the pend-
ing election.
—Mrs. Aaron Williams intends spending the
winter in Richmond, Indiana. She has been there
ever since the death of her brother and poor
health has made it seem best for her to remain
there until spring. :
—Miss Mary Brockerhoff departed, Wednesday
morning, for an extended visit in Philadelphia.
Upon her return she will spend the winter at
the Brockerhoff house, where Mrs. Brockerho
and her family have taken apartments for the
season.
—Phil D. Waddle, who thinks the American
express business needs every moment of his
time, laid down his work, “yesterday, and went to
Fairbrook to a wedding. It wasn't his own, oh,
no. His nephew, Herbert DeL. Meek was mar-
ried to Miss Campbell, at noon, yesterday.
—Squire Solomon Peck, of Nittany, came up to
fall work all done and if people imagine that he is
loafing they are perfectly welcome to do so. The
Squire is one of those kind of men who believes
in getting up in the morning, hustling through
with things, and then taking the well earned rest.
—Dr. Roland Stiver, of Lena, Hlinois, has been
East visiting friends in his native heath, Centre
county. He was the guest of his sister, Mrs. J. E.
Ward, on Curtin street, over Sunday and left, for
New York, Thursday. Dr. Stiver reports that
both parties are claiming his State while there is
nothing definite as to what the true outcome will
be. :
—Mr. P. F. Keller, of Centre Hall, spent Monday
in Bellefonte looking after a little business that
needed his attention. He was born in this coun-
ty, but like a good many others he got the western
fever and migrated to Kansas. It took several
years out there to satisfy him, but he is back now
to stay in good old Centre and good old Centre is
very glad of his return, for Mr: Keller, like all
the others of his family, is a good citizen, and we
can’t have too many like him.
—Mug. Coolidge, of Scranton, is in town with
two of her children, Grace and Carl, visiting rela-
tives and secing her father, Daniel McGinley,who
has been suffering for weeks with asthma and
dropgy. Mr. MeGinley is 81 years old and al-
though his condition is so serious that he has not
been able to lie down for weeks and his son-in-
law, Dr. Coolidge, is coming up to consult with his
attending physicians, it is thought that his life
may be prolonged by an operation as was that of

The Ox-Roast at Millheim.
Addresses by Hon. Geo. A. Jenks, Col. J. L. Spangler ;
and Hugh 8. Taylor, Esq.
Last Thursday the east end of Centre
county had its great political demonstra-
tion and feast of the campaign of 1896. At
early morn people from all parts of the
county, especially Pennsvalley and Brush-
valley, went to Millheim. By noon about
2,500 men, women and children had con-
gregated in the town, several hundred hav-
ing witnessed the roasting of a 210 1b ox in
the forenoon and which was entirely eaten
up for the evening lunch.
At 2 o'clock, led by the Millheim and
Aaronsburg cornet bands, both of which
rendered some of their choicest selections
for this occasion. The people marched, en
masse, from the centre of the town to the
new school building at the east side of
which was erected a stage for the speakers
and around which the great crowd had --
collected. After16 to 1 guns were fired,
after Dr. G. S. Frank had nominated Mr.
W. F. Smith as president of the day’s meet-
ings, after the following vice presidents
were named : B. F. Shafer, John Spang-
ler, James Smith, J. J. Orendorf, John
Wolf, Aaron Zerby, W. F. Fry, W. B.
Mingle, and Hon. Fred Kurtz as secre-
tary, all these nominations having been
unanimously approved, and after several
selections by the bands Chairman Smith
introduced Col. J. L. Spangler amidst great
cheering.
. After a strong talk Col. Spangler
introduced Hon. Geo. Jenks, of Brookville,
Jefferson county, whom he called the ‘“best
and bravest man ii Pennsylvania.” Mr.
Jenks had been assistant United States
District Attorney in Cleveland’s first ad-
ministration, a counsel in the Belknap
case, and made the best defense in the fa-
mous Hayes and Tilden dispute. Mr. Jenks,
not being allowed to speak long out doors
on account of his throat, made a brief ad-
dress in which he refuted with perfect
ease the common, ignorant state-
ment that all intelligence is in
the Republican party by reminding his
hearers that nine-tenths of the population
of the United States consisted of foreign-
ers, that there only about 7,000,000 native-
born Americans. He said that it is the in-
telligence of the Democratic party on which
the country depends. In evidence thereof
he gave a brief history of the Democratic
party and cited how the Alien and Sedi-
tion laws had violated the rights of
the constitution, according to
the views of Jefferson, how Jackson
struggled with the national bank.
Democracy had ruleu the country before -
parties were formed. Only two things were
done by the Republicans, namely, the ab-
olition of slavery and the purchase of Alas-
ka, in which the speakersaid ‘‘it was too
cold for a Christian to live,”” (laughter,)
but both of these two acts were necessary
for the development of our nation.
The people were then invited to partake
of the ox, which had been sandwiched, as
they did with great relish, and everybody
got his piece, which was handed out of the
cellar window of the school house.
EVENING MEETING.
Headed by the Millheim band the people
went to the the town hall, which was pack-
ed to its utmost, and were again addressed
by Hon. Geo. Jenks, who continued the
forcible arguments he had started at
the afternoon meeting. When he had con-
cluded the chairman introduced Hugh S.
Taylor, Esq., of Bellefonte, who made
a plea for a faithful support of the
county and congressional tickets. This
young man made a very spirited ad-
dress which was vigorously applauded.
Col. Spangler, being on the stage, was then
urgently called upon by the audience, and
responded by narrating many killing stories
like Jack only can tell. The audience
was then dismissed by a great cheer for
Bryan.
The town was everywhere beautifully
decorated with flags and spruce. At each
side of a square of spruce decoration
connecting the Musser hotel, the
new and old hardware stores, and
what was formerly Snook’s store, were
hung the following mottoes : ‘No cross of
gold I” ““No crown of thorns !’ Free silver
or bust !”’ “Wall street, nit!’ In the
| eentre of this square was hung an iron
whoop to whose circumference were attach-
ed 16 white lamp chimnies and in the cen-
tre of this again was suspended a yellow one,
which was an amusing representation
of 16 to 1.
Brushvalley was very well represented as
nearly everybody had gone, and especially
those who still have several gold thorns in
their newly acquired silver body, which
they are seriously seeking to extract and
we are happy to say that many were pulled
hy Jenks and Jack.
Millheim was full of people and vehicles
as far as you could see. As the “saying is
‘‘everybody turned out’’ and had ‘‘a great
time.”” The people were enthusiastic and
a great day it was, for which all must thank
the following committee: Chairman, J.
W. Stover, Cyrus Brumgart, Samuel Mus-
ser, C. W. Albright, W. L. Goodhart, Dr.
G. S. Frank, H. A. Auman, J. Alters, P.
H. Musser, J. C. Smith, E. E. Knarr, H.
F. Confer, etc.
The Millheim people have very many
reasons to congratulate themselves and to
be congratulated, by all others, for having
made this such a grand success. Long we
will remember the ox-roast and the
speeches of Jenks and Jack. H. E. B.
