low.
—=The Millheim borough treasurer has
received a check for 37 cents as that bor-
ough’s share of the 2 par cent. tax on for-
eign insarance companies doing business in
the State.

Reformed church.
The Nittany valley boys, sons of
fathers whose lands are covered by Nit-
fany gun club leases, are reported to he
hunting quail with pug dogs and Winches-
Aer repeating rifles.
If every man in Centre county who
‘has a judgment entered up against him
“would be passed upon as a bad man there
‘would be few good ones to keep company
with one another,
=——DMrs. Amanda Acker, wife of the
late David Acker, of Aaronsburg, died last
Friday and was buried on Monday morn-
ing. She was 74 years old and interment
was made in, the Lutheran cemetery.
——But one of the eighty four members

success since leaving college.
——There was very little money chang-
ed hands on the State-Bucknell foot ball
game. The only bets that State backers
could get were by giving even money that
Bucknell wouldn’t score. Fifty-dollars
would probably cover the aggregate of all
the wagers on the game.
——There is to be a Thanksgiving as-
sembly in the armory of Co. M, in this
place, on Thursday evening, Nov. 24th.
It will be given in honor of Mr. and Mrs.

— George Bayard, who was even more
familiar aout Parrish’s drug store than
the furniture itself, has severed his con-
nection with the place and is now taking a
little rest, preparatory to accepting another
position. For fourteen years George has
rolled pills, mixed soda drinks and done
everything else that an all around drug-
gist has to do for Bellefonters and we're
sure they never had a more courteous nor
agreeable servant. : Tae
——The Franz-Wilezek grand concert
company will appear at State College on
Saturday evening, November 26th. The
concert will be given in the chapel and
will be for the benefit of the Free Lance,
the College monthly. Franz Wilczek,
who is at the head of the organization, is
the famous Austrian violinist who, at the
early age of fourteen years, was taken and
educated by the Aus‘rian government.
—On Tuesday the venerable Perry
Steele, of Axe Mann, was 83 years old. On
that day he cast his 124th vote. The
venerable David Gearhart, of Chester Hill,
near Philipsburg, beats old Mr. Steele for
he has been voting for sixty-six years and
the best part of it is that his votes have all
been Democratic. Everyone of his votes
since the first one, which was cast for Pres-
ident Van Buren, have been cast in the
same precinct,
THE Last OF Co. B, 5TH U. 8S. Vor.
INF.—At precisely twenty-five minutes of
three o’clock yesterday afternoon Cap’t.
S. W. Miller, 5th U. 8. Inf. handed Cap’t.
Hugh S. Taylor, Co. B, 5th U. S. Vol. Inf.
his certificate of honorable discharge and
the local military organization, that left
this place on the 27th of last April for Mt.
Gretna, where they went to be mustered
into the federal service for duty in the
Spanish war, became private citizens again.
The ceremony was very informal and was
witnessed by none but Lieutenants Jack-
son and Taylor, clerks Spangler and Gcs-
horn, A. B. Steele and a representative of
the WATCHMAN.
After all the boys had received their
certificates of discharge and bad left the
armory the government papers were packed
up with the last traces of Co. B’s organiza-
tion and when the sound of the hammer
that was used in nailing the hox shut had
died away Cap’t. Miller arose and handed
Cap’t. Taylor his discharge. The latter
saluted and Co. B was no more.
For more than a month the company had
been loafing about Bellefonte, waiting,
from day to day, to be mustered out and
there was many a glad heart among the
men when the officers appeared here yes-
terday morning. They were Cap’t. S. W.
Miller, 5th U. S. Inf., of Huntingdon ;
Additional paymaster Maj. W. W. Lang,
Washington, D. C. ; Surgeon M. W. Hart,
4th Penna. Vol. Inf., Williamsport; and
clerks Harry H. Lang and Hyland C. Kirk,
of Washington, D. C. The company went
through its medical examination about one
week ago, when Dr. McMasters, 5th U. S.
Cav. and contract surgeons Sedgwick, and
Seiter, of Philadelphia, were here. All of
the men except two were found to be in as
good physical condition as when they had
entered the service, barring natural dis-
eases, consequently nothing remained to
be done but pay them off and sign their
discharge papers.
Cap’t. Taylor held the company in the
armory from 9 o’clock yesterday morning
until the last one of them was mustered
out. They were all paid in full except the
commissioned officers who did not receive
their pay. The average pay to the men
was $65.00, though some of them received
as much as $90.00. Probably ninety per
cent. of the men had never had so much
money at one time in their lives before, so
you can imagine how oppulent most of
them felt. They were not long in clearing
out when the order was given and by this
time most of those from distant parts of
the county are at home ; the Philipsburg
contingent having left last evening.
All of the men were present to be mus-
tered out except Frank T. Wallace, who is
in bed at his home in Milesburg probably
incurable from his fall from the train when
on the road home from camp at Lexington;
Clyde Z. Long, of Howard, who has lately
suffered a relapse of typhoid fever ; George
B. Snyder, who is. teaching at the Chester
Springs seldier’s orphans’ school, and will
be discharged in Philadelphia; R. C. Da-
ley, at home at Romola, still suffering with
a diseased leg in which the attack of ty-
phoid with which he suffered seems to
have settled ; and Samuel P. Bathurst, of
Roland, who bas suffered a relapse of ty-
phoid fever.
Lieutenant Kilburn will be here in a
few days to receive the government prop-
erty.
The complete roster of the company was
as follows :

OFFICERS.
——VWilliam Adams, a former resident
of Philipsburg, died very suddenly in
Philadelphia last Monday. He was a son
of the late Thomas Adams, of Julian, and
was born Sept. 4th, 1829. Shortly after
the building of the Tyrone and Clearfield
railroad ‘he was made baggage master in
Philipsburg, which position he held for a
number of years. While in the railroad
service he froze his foot, making it neces-
sary to amputate it. Gangrene troub-
led him all these years and ended
fatally. The remains were taken to Phil-
ipsburg yesterday morning for burial. He
is survived by his widow, one son and four
| daughters.
——The Methodists up in Tyrone had a
harvest home service on Sunday and they
say the pulpit of the church was literally
covered with pumpkins.
————
——*“‘Fiddler’’ Brown, an eccentric old
resident of Cedar Springs, Clinton county,
was found dead in bed on Saturday morn-
ing. For many years he carried a fiddle
wherever he went.
>
——Yesterday Mr. John Pacini heard
that his son James, who left here some
weeks ago to work in a glass factory at
Greensburg, had been seriously burned but
how seriously he was not able to learn.
ie
——A party of Tyrone hunters, who
spent Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and
Saturday of last week in the vicinity of
Port Matilda, Hannah and Martha, bagged
thirty-five rabbits, three pheasants and a
wood-cock.
———
——The Kennedy players have been at
Garman’s all this week in repertoire. The
company includes a lot of clever people and
is by far the best of its kind that has ever
played in this place. To-night ‘“The Dark
Side of London’’ is tobe put on. The Sat-
urday matinee will be “Behind Prison
Bars’’ and Saturday night “The Old Fac-
tory Murder Mystery’’ will be presented.

THE CHILDREN’S AID SOCIETY.—An ef-
fort is being made to organize a Children’s.
Home society which might be an excellent
thing did we not have an efficient organiza-
tion of the Children’s Aid society in the
county. The aim and work of the societies
seem to he about the same, with the excep-
tion that the officers of the Home society
are paid for their work, while our own home
women, Mrs. John Kurtz, Emily Natt and
Mary Thomas have heen working for years
to provide homes for the friendless and
neglected with scarcely a thank you or co-
operation from church or people.
They have given not only their time and
means to the work, hut in many cases they
have taken the children into their own
homes ard cared for them until suitable
homes were found. Last year they helped
15 children into good and comfortable
homes and it is a rare case for the child to
be unhappy or its new parents dissatisfied.
So with the Children’s Aid society so effi-
ciently managed it seems altogether un-
necessary for a new society to organize and
especially when the few, who are engaged
in the noble work, are so greatly in need
of your co-operation and aid.
et
STATE DEFEATED BUCKNELL.—Backed
by about three hundred ‘‘rooters’’ from
State College and Bellefonte the Pennsyl-
vania State College foot-ball eleven went
to Williamsport, last Saturday, and de-
feated the team from Bucknell University,
at Lewisburg, by the score of 16 to 0.
The game was played before .a crowd of
about two thousand and from a disinterested
standpoint was an exciting contest. State’s
team did not begin to. play the game of
which the blue and white is capable and
to the wretched fumbling and general in-
difference is to be credited the low score.
It was expected that State would win by
at least 30 points and she could have done
it easily enough, so far as her known
superiority over Bucknell is concerned,
but the team didn’t play its game, though
it did win by a decisive score.
Nearly all of the crowd that went down
from here attended the variety show in
town that night and it was after two
o'clock Sunday morning when the special
pulled into the Central station, at the foot
of ‘Lamb street, carrying a thoroughly
tired and sleepy lot of passengers.
THEY HAVE STRUCK A WHOLE MoOUN-
TAIN OF GOLD.—A letter from I. C. Ward
under date of Finley Rapids, Sept. 28th,
1898, informs his relatives and friends in
this part of the country that his gold hunt-
ing expedition has been partially success-
ful. Mr. Ward is a brother of Dr. J. E.
Ward, of this place. He gave up a fine
practice in dentistry in Chicago to try his
hand at gold prospecting and it will be re-
called by our readers that we published an
account of his starting at the time they
left. :
‘There were four in their party. They
went by rail to Edmonton, province of Al-
berta, Canada, and there equipped them-
selves with fifteen horses and supplies
enough to last fora year in the north.
From Edmonton they continued north-west
to the Lesser Slave lake, in the province
of Athabaska, in which vicinity they have
made their find. Part of Mr. Ward’s let-
ter is as follows :
# #% # J suppose you wonder where I
am at by this time for I often do myself,
away off here with no familar scenes to recall
any location to my mind. The map will
show you our exact location better than I
can tell it, so instead of giving you a lesson
in geography I will hurry through with
this note so that I can go to work again on
our cabin, which is to be our home for the
winter. Yes, we are going to stop our north-
ward march right here for, if you will
pardon the slang, I think we're “up against
the real thing now.”. We have struck a
mountain that is a mile long, two thousand
feet high and seems to be all gold. As near
as we have been able to analyze it the dirt
ought to be worth at least $20 a ton and as
there are at least fifty million tons of ditt
here you can figure out what our mountain
is worth, Having been elected mining re-
corder for the camp I will see to it that ‘our
mountain’’ is ours by right.
Dr. Potts and one of the other men of our
party are starting back to the States to-day,
so that I can send this letter with them.
They will purchase machinery to be brought
here in the spring so that we can go to work
as soon as the weather is propitious. The
days are getting short here now, but it is not
very cold yet. We had our first ice last
night, though it has snowed considerable al-
ready. The mountains are all capped with
snow,
Don’t think that I am a millionaire yet,
for we will have to spend fifty thousand dol.
lars before we can get a cent out of our mine,
but while we are getting in shape for the
work we are going to be comfortable as a big
cabin and plenty to eat can make us. We
have bacon, dried fruit, vegetables. plenty of
game and fish in such numbers that one can
kill them with clubs so you sce we won't
starve.
THE WILL OF THE LATE BALSER WEB-
ER.—It is always a matter of interest to
the public, when a man whose exceptional
business propensities has amassed him a
fortune dies, to know the manner in which
he has disposed of his property in his will.
The late Balser Weber, of Howard, was
one of Centre county’s shrewdest business
men ; the very best evidence of which is
had in the estate valued at $75,000 which
he left as the earnings of the $3.25 he had
in his pocket when he landed in this
country in 1849.
The will was entered for probate on Oct.
27th. It was written by Mr. Weber, him-
self, and bears date of August 5th, 1898,
witnessed hy H. A. Moore and Hayes
Schenck. His sons Abram and William
are named as the executors and the specifi-
cations are as follows: he directs that a
fair valuation of all his property, both real
and personal, be made by his executors and
three judicious neighbors ; that $25,000
shall be invested in first class securities,
the interest of which shall be paid to his
widow every six months as long as she
lives, after which said amount to he equal-
ly divided between his three sons and
daughter, Mary ; that his widow shall hold
and occupy his house. together with all the
household property she may desire, and
also receive all the profits of his Henry
Pletcher farm as long as she lives, and
after her death all of the same bequest to
go to his three sons and daughter, Mary,
share and share alike. The testator also
directs his executors to invest $8,000 in
good securities, the interest to be paid
yearly to his daughter, Clara, during her
life, and after her death the same to go to
her heirs, share and share alike. He also
directs that his daughter, Clara, shall re-
ceive $6,000 at specified times, and gives
to her the Askey farm, on which she lives,
during her lifetime and after her death the
Same to go to her heirs, share and share
alike. One half of the balance of his es-
tate shall be divided between his three
sons and daughter, Mary, the balance to
be invested in good securities for 10 years,
and then principal and accrued interest to
be divided equally between his three Sons,
and daughter, Mary. He also enjoined
his executors to carry out his will strictly
as it is recorded in his own hand writing.
DoN’T PAY FOR THE TRICK oF MAK-
ING ARTIFICIAL FLOWERS. — A very
smooth, gentlemanly appearing individual
is calling on the ladies in country towns in
this section of the State with a proposition
that is just as crooked as it looks glittering.
The fellow represents himself to be an
employee of some well known city depart-
ment store. The last town he worked was
Lock Haven and while there he stated that
he was employed Ly Marks Bros., of
Philadelphia, who wanted to hire wo-
men to make artificial flowers, and after
they had learned the art would give them
steady employment at good wages; that
a representative of the firm would be
around at stated periods to gather up the
results of their labors. But it was first
necessary that the sum of $1.50 should be
paid in advance in order to cover the cost
of the ‘‘moulds” and to assist in paying
for the instructions that would be given
by a lady whom the firm would send on in
a few days.
The individual failed to appear to ar-
range for the instructions and a large num-
ber of women were swindled out of the
$1.50 they had paid the fellow. Kick him
out if he calls on you. He answers to this
description : Age, about 35 years; height,
5 feet 7 inches; smooth face; light blue
eyes; light hair; wore brown derby hat,
brown sack coat, pantaloons, light striped
shire and buff shoes; he was of slender
build and weighed about 138 pounds.

THEY JEERED THEIR Poor OLD BROTH-
ER.—A party of State College boys ran up
against the wrong proposition in Lock
Haven on Friday night and part of the
laugh they were having on everything in
sight was so neatly turned on them that they
will hardly tell their friends about it. For
fear that they might keep too quiet about it
we will republish the joke from the Lock
Haven Democrat.
Last Friday evening while some students
of State College were waiting at the P. and
LE. crossing for the down town car, they
employed the time by giving the college
yell, making sport of passers by and play-
ing ‘‘high jinks” generally. A man
driving a long eared mule came along, and
the driver and the animal was made the
special object of their sarcastic remarks.
The driver stopped the animal, looked his
tormentors in the faces, and pointing at
the mule, yelled : ‘‘Boys, don’t you think
you ought to be ashamed of yourselves to
make fun of your poor brother?’ The an-
swer was so unexpected that the students
were taken off their guard and were speech-- |
less until the driver and the mule. drove.

Jim Gray, who lives along the foot-
hills of the Alleghenies, just below Miles-
burg, has been the luckiest hunter we have
heard of this fall. We wouldn’t like to
tell you how many wild turkeys he has
shot thus far, for fear you would be dis-
inclined to believe the story.
——Roland I. Curtin, U. S. N., was
married to Miss May Randolph Hamersly,
a daughter of Lewis R. Hamersly, of New
York, on Wednesday. The ceremony was
performed in New York city. The groom
is the eldest son of Gen. John I. Curtin, of
this place, and is an ensign in the navy.
It was he who had the honor of receiving
the surrender of Ponce.

—The Kennedy players have been
giving a lot of good performances at Gar-
man’s this week and every one has been
pleased with the work of the company.
They have played to fair business, but to-
night and to-morrow’s plays being the last
there will be a rush no doubt. At the
Saturday matinee ‘‘Behind Prison Bars’’
will be presented.
A FALL oF SLATE AT MoRris’ PIKE
QUARRIES.—It was almost a miracle by
which the gang of men who work in Mor-
ris’ pike quarry escaped being crushed
under tons of falling slate on Wednesday
evening.
It was within a few minutes of quitting
time when acting manager Dave Kelley
decided it was too dark for the men to
work any lorger and instructed the fore-
man to call the men out of the quarry. It
was done and the gang had scarcely thrown
down their tools and started out when,
with a terrific, crushing noise, many tons
of over-hanging slate went tumbling right
down onto the very spot at which the men
had been working. The stone cars and
tools were buried under a great mass of
rock. The men were appalled by the
sound that arrested them and stood riveted
in their tracks, with blanched faces, as
they realized the horrible death they had
escaped by the merest chance.

society.
—G. W. Ward, of Pittsburg, was in town on
Monday, on his way home to Pine Grove Mills to

place, and, of course, plunked in a good, straight
Democratic booster.
—J. A. Fortney, of Boalsburg, spent a few hours

following plan. A cool wave is due here
to-day.
Temperature of the week ending 8a. m.,
November 14th, will average above normal
east of the Rockies and below west. Rain-
fall for the same period will he below east
of the Rockies and above west.
A warm wave will cross the continent
from west to east about November 12th to
14th. .
Temperature of November will average
above normal east of the Rockies and below
on the Pacific coast.
Three principal cold dips will oceur in
the northern States about November 4th,
19th and 20th, and three principal warm
waves about 1st, 13th and 26th. When
these warm and cool waves are averaged
the total temperature of the month is ex-
pected to be above the normal when we
consider all of the United States east of
the Rockies and the southern provinces of
Canada east of the Rockies.
Rainfall for November will be below
normal east of the Rockies and above in
the Rocky mountain and Pacific slope

Most rain, east of the Rockies, will oc-

Spring Mills.
The Thanksgiving turkey is beginning to
shiver.
The M. E. church of our village has just
been thoroughly painted, and presents quite
an attractive appearance.
Our merchants report business for the
month of October as quite satisfactory—an
advance over the same time last year.
Nimrods in our neighborhood report only
limited success in their gunning expeditions.
Red squirrels seem more plentiful than any
other game.
Robison and Bro., the new hardware firm,
have placed a large street lamp in front of
their store—a very decided improvement to
the neighborhood. A halfa dozen of lamps
properly located are just what we need in
our village. but when will we get them ?
Echo answers, when ?
Steele and MeLemore, agents for the
Creamery Package Manufacturing Co., of
Chicago, were here recently to establish a co-
operative creamery to be located in our vil-
lage. The gentlemen were very successful
in obtaining subscribers for stock. No doubt
is entertained of its ultimate success.
In reporting the recent attempt of burglars
to blow open the safe in the office of the. mill-
ing firm of Allison Bros. located in our vil-
lage, it was stated that a quantity of dyna-
mite was stored under the safe. This report
has not the slightest foundation. The firm
deal quite largely in the explosive, but never
had an ounce stored inside,nor even near the
establishment.
The Spring Mills planing mill company
are greatly improving their property. Speak-
ing tubes convenient to all the machines in
the mill have been introduced, enabling the
operators to communicate with the engineer
when necessary, without a moment's delay.
A partition has been thrown across the main
room, the engine room has been refitted and
paved, besides quite a number of other con-
veniences added to the interior of the build-
ing. The wagon road to and around the
mill is being put in thorough repair. All
the mud and dirt accumulations are being
removed, and the road bed will be filled with
stone and gravel. The company are doing
quite a large business.
