THEY STOLE THE CHICKENS, Coops
AND ALL.—The cheekiest thieves we have
heard of in a long time were the fellows
who visited the home of Watson Struble,
who farms the Mrs. Reuben Valentine
farm near the furnace, last Tuesday night.
They stole nineteen of his finest hens, took
an old cluck with her flock of little chick-
ens, and the coop that they were in and,
to cap the climax, they carried away a
setting hen with the nest full of eggs that
she was on and dragged one of his dogs
after them.

ON THE BANKS OF LOGAN’S BRANCH.—
This morning the trout fishing season in
Pennsylvania opened and it is legitimate
to take speckled trout over five inches in
length from any of the streams of the State,
unless they be especially protected by pri-
vate or state restrictions. Trout may be
taken only with a rod and line.
The streams in Centre county are in par-
for good
ticularly favorable condition
catches, the weather is suitable and we ex-
pect to hear some large catches reported
this evening, when the fishermen begin to
compare notes. The experts are using
black-worms for bait, while the horde that |
lines both sides of Spring Creek, Logan’s
Branch and Buffalo Run, resorts to flies,
sawyers, grass-hoppers, asafcetida, pow-
wowed spit and anything else that some |
fellow, who hasn’t anything but advice to
give, suggests.
The most amusing character to watch is
the man who has been getting ready for
weeks and has been on the stream since
daylight. You will invariably find him
fishing close beside an expert or a little
boy. He thinks he stands a chance of
throwing in over the former’s line and get-
ting tangled, so that it will be a question
as to who owns the fish that has been
hooked, or if he fishes near the little boy
he can buy his trout at a low price, for
little boys don’t know him like the older
fellows do and leave their catches go at a
very low figure.
Since every American boy expects to be
President we might reasonably believe
that every one of the twelve applicants ex-
pects to be postmaster of Bellefonte. If
they do, two of the most expectant are
along the stream this morning and let me
tell you right here, the wistful looks they
have directed toward Washington since
McKinley’s election haven’t been a cir-
cumstance to the sad eyes they are roll-
ing on the streams this morning.
Itis not too late for some of you to take
a walk along one of the streams near Belle-
fonte and see what they look like this
morning. If you do, just peep into some
of the baskets and confirm our assertion
that glassware is far more in evidence than
fish.

FosTER’S APRIL WEATHER PREDIC-
TIONS.—The third storm wave of April
wiil reach the Pacific coast about the 10th,
cross the west of Rockies country by the
close of the 11th, great central valleys 12th
to 14th, eastern States 15th.
~ Warm wave will cross the west of Rock-
ies country about the 10th, great central
valleys 12th, eastern States 14th. Cool
wave will cross the west of Rockies coun-
try about the 13th, great central valleys
15th, eastern States 17th.
A slight fall of temperature with showers
in the northern States will occur about the
15th to 19th. Other parts of the month
will experience a rising temperature and
generally dry in the northern States.
In speaking of rising temperature in the
above I mean that the temperature will
rise relative to the normal. Of course every
one knows that the average temperature of
April is upward, but for this April the
temperature will rise greatly from about
the 5th to the 28th.
The general rise in temperature in the
northern States will be accompanied by a
general drouth in the New England States,
the Ohio valleys, the upper Mississippi and
the lower Missouri valleys.
Rainfall of the month will he about
normal in the Rocky mountain countries,
the arid countries around the rim of the
great central valleys and west of central
Texas.
Temperature in the northern States will
fall most below normal during the first and
most above normal during the last week in
April.
In the southern States the temperature
of April will range near the normal till
about the 20th, after which it will average
high and be accompanied by severe drouth
during the remainder of the month.
The most severe storms of the month
will occur north and south during the last
week of the month.
Pine Grove Mention.
Michael Weaver was eighty years old on
Tuesday, the 12th. .
Rev. Aikens now holds the lines on a three
minute nag.
Prof. Heberling is closing the primary
school for teacher Roush, who has been sick.
Ed Myers and his mother are over from
Alexandria for a day or two with old friends
here.
Helen the accomplished daughter of D.
W. Myers, of Boalsburg, visited here last
week.
Farmer Frank Black is improving his
place by having Albert Krape, of Centre
Hall, drill him a well.
Samuel Harter, of Mifflinburg, is putting
the finishing touches on some fine new bug-
gies for H. M. Krebs’ big spring trade.
Newton Nideigh has recovered from his in-
jury sufficiently to be about. While tak-
ing out timber for the Oliver barn a tree fell
on him hurting him seriously.
George Bailey came down from Altoona last,
week, to accompany his wife and baby home.
They had been visiting here and at Oak Hall
for three weeks and he had done without
them as long as he would.
Prof. G. W. Weaver and his wife spent
Easter with their relatives here. The re-
cent sale of his farm and the purchase of his
grandfather’s place, on'Main street, was the
cause of him being here at this time.
Mrs. Susan, wife of W. H. Goss became so
ill last Sunday morning at church that she
had to be carried into Dr. Woods’ office.
| From there she was carried to her mother’s,
on Main street, where she remained for sev-
eral days before she was able to go home.
Mrs. Fred Myers was agreeably surprised,
on Easter morning with a beautiful new
plush couch. The day previous it had been
smuggled into the house without her knowl-
| edge so that her fortieth birthday would be
remembered with something more substan-
tial than colored eggs and flowers.
Dr. L. C. Thomas, of Latrobe, was in town
this week to see his sister, Mrs. Margaret
Gates, who has been sick most of the winter.
She and her two boys accompanied him
home, where he is a very busy man for it is
said that in addition to his large practice he
has a congressional bee buzzing in his head.
{
Parson Aikens believes in the old proverb |
that cleanliness is next to godliness, for he is
having a fine new bath room added to the
Lutheran parsonage and other improve-
ments. TL. O. Meek, of the State College, has
the contract and his plumber from Bellefonte
is doing the work.
The Orangeville, 111, Coureer of April 9th,
| says that the town has gone Democratic for
the first time in fifteen years. Our former

and that the Democrats still live in Illinois.

THE
Hezekiah Ewing came near handing in his
checks last Tuesday evening. While driving ;
through the College grounds with Mart Dri- |
blebis and a little grandson his horse, a newly :
purchased one, frightened and started to run. !
Mr. Driblebis and the child escaped un- ;
harmed but Mr. Ewing had his head cut !
several places, his nose badly scratched and
the buggy smashed to pieces.
On last Saturday as John Homan, of the |:
Branch, was plowing in the field, just north |
of his buildings, the horse in the lead sud- |
denly sunk into ground how deep Mr. Ho- |
man is unable to say, but the animal was en- ;
tirely covered with clay. Some of the neigh- |
bor came immediately and after working |
several hours succeeded in getting the horse
out but it was so henumbed that it could not |
stand for some time.
