    MRs. LLoyD SMITH.—After weeks of ill-
ness and patiently waiting for what she
knew to be the inevitable Mrs. Lloyd
Smith peacefully closed her eyes on Sunday
evening and fell into thatsleep from which
she will awaken to find herself perfectly
whole ; no longer blanched and wan by
the wasting of consumption. Since the
disease began to develop the advanced
stages Mrs. Smith and her husband had
made their home with her mother, Mrs.
Amanda Waite, on north Thomas street,
and it was there that she died ; surrounded
by all of those that were near and dear to
her in Bellefonte.
Deceased was born in Bellefonte, Oct.
3rd, 1877. She was the daughter of the
late Adam Waite and was a bright, prepos-
sessing young woman. June 14th, 1898,
she married Lloyd Smith; one child having
been born to their union. It died several
months ago. Besides her husband and moth-
er are the following brothers and sisters:
Robt. and Mrs. Richard Winner, Anderson,
Ind. ; Mrs. Harry Rhoads, of Osceola;
yeorge, John and Allan, of Bellefonte.
Interment was made from the United
+ Brethren church of which she was a zeal-
ous member on Wednesday afternoon.

DIED FROM BLEEDING AT THE NOSE-—
Mis. Clara Cowher died at her home on the
Thomas Way farm, in Half-moon valley,
Friday afternoon, from exhaustion, caused
by excessive bleeding at the nose. She
arose in her usual health that morning, but
soon afterwards her nose began bleeding
and continued until she died; every effort
to stop the flow of blood having failed.
Mrs. Cowher was the wife of John T.
Cowher, who survives her with her one sis-
ter, Mrs. Simon Nolan, of Philipsburg.
Burial was made at Gray’s cemetery Sun-
day. :

CouNcIL PROCEEDINGS. —AIll but two of
the members of council were present Mon-
day evening when President Gerberich call-
ed that body to order for the transaction of
the following business :
H. C. Quigley Esq. secretary of the
Board of Health made the report for 1899
and asked for the annual appropriation of
$100 for the year 1900. Hestated that the
Board’s expenses last year had been $87
and also the term of S. H. Williams hav-
ing expired as a member of the Board it
would be well to re-appoint him. Mr. Wil-
liams proved more popular with council
than the appropriation of the hundred, for
they re-appointed him and held the hun-
dred matter over until the next meeting.
The Water committee reported every-
thing in good working order in that depart-
ment, but urged council to start on the hunt
for a very evident great leak. Sup’t. Rine
stated that on Sunday evening at 7 o’clock
the pumps at the water works had to be
stopped, in order to make some needed re-
pairs, and were not started again until
midnight. In that five hours every drop
of water in the reservoir was consumed.
As the reservoir held 237,000 gallons at the
time it might be well to ask : Where did
that water go to? Each man, woman and
child in Bellefonte must have averaged 68
gallons of it, for there were no manufactor-
ies consuming public water in operation at
that time, none of the stores or other busi-
ness places open. Of coure if Sup’t. Rine
intends to get very inquisitorial we know
one fellow who will confess to having used
a bath-tub full of it, but where did the rest
go? It might well be hunted up.
The Fire and Police committee reported
its failure to rent a cell in the county jail
in which to incarcerate the drunks and oth-
er daily offenders picked up by the borough
officers. It appears that the old lock-up
isn’t good enough any more for the accom-
modation of such transients and the com-
mittee wag instructed to look around a lit-
tle for a suitable place. What has become
of the lock-up that was to have been placed
in the basement of the new public build-
ing? The matter of saving the rent of the
present lock-up site was very greatly elabo-
rated on when the plans for a public build-
ing, with alock-up in the basement, were
first projected. Then when that part of it
was abondoned the excuse was given that a
basement would be too unhealthy for such
purposes or that all the room was needed
for the steam plant of the house. Now the
steam is being furnished by the public
plant so there is no room needed for boilers
and so far as the health question is concern-
ed no one is incarcerated in a lock-up long
enough to injure them. Besides, Philips-
burg uses hers twice as much as Bellefonte,
it is in the basement of the public building
over there, and statistics don’t show that
town’s mortality list to be any worse thun
Bellefonte’s.
The appointment of a watchman for the
Lamb street crossing of the P. R. R. tracks
was announced and a vote of thanks tender-
ed Mayor Naginey and Sup’t. S. S. Blair
for their interest in the matter.
After approving the following bills coun-
cil adjourned :

Preamble and Resolutions.
Adopted by Lick Run lodge No. 311, I. O. O. F.
at the regular meeting, on the evening of January
10th, 1900.
WuEREAS it has pleased our Heavenly Father to
call from this life our beloved brother Dr. Lot R.
Hensyl, late a member of this body, and whereas
we desire to testify to his value in life, both as
our associate here and as an honored member of
the community, and whereas we are profoundly
impressed with our loss in all the relations which
he bore to us, therefore be 1t
Resolved, that in the life and labors of our late
Brother the principles of our beloved order were
clearly set forth and beautifully exemplified;
winning for himself the love and respect of the
whole community, and by his example reflecting
the very highest credit upon the principles con-
trolling our order.
Resolved, that in his death our order and the
communpity suffer the loss of a man of the most
genial good nature, strong in his integrity, up-
right in his walk and conversation, just to his fel-
low man, of large charity, always in an unobtru-
sive, unostentatious way shunning publicity for
an act of kindness rendered, yet always respon-
sive to the call of the needy and the suffering.
Resolved, that we tender to his bereaved widow
and children, our most sincere condolence and
sympathy, and that an engrossed copy of these
resolutions be presented to them.
Resolved, that these resolutions be spread upon
the minutes of this Lodge and that copies of the
same be furnished to the local and county news-
papers for publication,
“Some other world is glad to see
Our star that’s gone away ;
The light whose going makes our night
Makes somewhere else a day.”

Committee.
Centre Hall.
Miss Emma McCoy returned home from
Philadelphia where she had been for several
weeks.
A fifty-dollar lie about the borough was ecir-
culated last week. There is a close associa-
tion of the words liars and hell somewhere.
Milton Snyder’s little daughter, Romie, has
been seriously ill for some time. Dr. Musser
was called in consultation with Dr. Glosser.
Feeds and seeds is whatS. W. Smith is
selling to farmers just now. Ten tons of bran
were sold by him.in less time than it takes to
tell the story. He has a stock on hand at all
times.
The benefits of the prosperity war to the
Penns Valley farmer is best expressed like
the abreviation' of the current year — ’00.
The apostrophy indicates the profit others
are reaping.
W. W. Boob is the only man in town who
had the good fortune to unload his stock of
sleighs during the recent fall of snow. He is
stocked up again, however—always ready to
catch the trade.
Jefferson Hubler, of near State College,
spent Saturday and Sunday with Robert
Bloom, near town. In the spring Mr. Hubler
will move to this place and do blacksmithing
at the stand now run by George Rowe. The
latter will become tenant on the farm own-
ed by Samuel Bruss, a short distance east of
town.
E. C. Nearhood and P. F. Keller have ar-
ranged to exchange business on April 1st.
The former isa baker and is conducting a
very nice business in town and runs a wagon
to nearby places. The latter is one of the
town’s draymen and has been in the business
for several years. Keller is now assisting
Nearhood in the bake-shop, so he will be
ready to take complete charge at the time
mentioned,
Mrs. Martha P. Odenkirk died Saturday
morning of last week at her home in this
place, after an illness of several weeks.
Early in the fall Mrs. Odenkirk had the mis-
fortune to receive a very hard fall, which
severely injured her hip. From that time
she began failing, and finally the flesh was
too weak to bear the burden and death came.
The funeral took place Monday morning, the
interment being in the Presbyterian ceme-
tery at Centre Hill, where the whole family
of Lingles now rest. She was a life long
member of the Presbyterian church, and dur-
ing that time supported it very liberally with
her heart and purse,
Mrs. Odenkirk was the widow of George
Odenkirk, who for many years prior to his
death on Oct. 4th, 1877, was one of the most
reliable and most substantial citizens of the
community. The marriage of Mr. and Mrs.
Odenkirk took place April 7th, 1863, in Pot-
ter township. For one or two years the cou-
ple lived at the Old Fort, from which place
they moved to Centre Hall, to the place occu-
pied by Mrs. Odenkirk at her death.
The deceased was held in high esteem by
all. She was a woman who devoted her time
to her own affairs, and all she ask of others
was to do the same. She was kind and always
rewarded a kindness shown toward her. For
twenty-two years after her husband’s death
she lived alone in a well furnished and com-
fortable home, and it was very seldom she
asked aid of any character from her neigh-
bors, with whom she was always, however,
on the best of terms.
The deceased died without heirs, but held
considerable personal property and a farm of
one hundred and eighty acres situated near
this place—the old homestead farm. The
whole of her wealth was given by will to
Mrs. John Q. A. Kennedy and her children,
to whom the grand-aunt took a particular
liking. Mr. and Mrs. Kennedy did many
kind acts toward Mrs. Odenkirk, which were
well rewarded. This is another evidence
that roses are more acceptable during life
than a mountain of cut flowers after life has
left the body.
Millheim.
Mrs. J, C. Miller, of Johnstown, was the
guest of her sister-in-law, Mrs. C. H. Morris,
for a few d ays last week.
Emanuel Harter, one of Brush-valley’s
most successful farmers, sold a hog last Mon-
day the live weight of which was 8301bs.
Dressed it tipped the beam at 725 lbs.
Last Sunday’s snow storm gave rise to ex-
pectations of fine sleighing, and therefor
much disappointment was expressed when
the succeeding warm and sultry weather
quickly turned the snow into slush and mud.
Rev. J. J. Lohr, who preceded Rev. H. W.
Buck as pastor of the local charge of the
United Evangelical church, but who is now
stationed at Berwick, Pa., was called to
Aaronsburg last week to take charge of the
services at the funeral of Mrs. H. E. Crouse.
Parmer Hetzel was committed to jail last
week by Justice F. P. Musser after he had
confessed that he had stolen chickens from
John Maize, a farmer residing west of town.
He was taken to Bellefonte Saturday even-
ing by constable P. P. Leitzell.
Mr. and Mrs.A. A. Frank left, Tuesday, to
attend the funeral of Mrs. Edward Hoover,
which took place Wednesday morning.
Services were held at the home of the de-
ceased at Laurelton Tuesday evening. In-
terment was made at Sunbury Wednesday
morning. Mrs. Hoover died Monday, aged
37 years, 4 months and 11 days. Her maiden
name was Alie Randabach. She was reared
by Thomas Frank, father of A. A. Frank,de-
ceased, and leaves a husband, a son and a
daughter to mourn her departure.

We are glad to note the recovery of How-
ard Black, of Huntingdon county, who has
been very sick at the home of his brother,
Frank, near town. :
Miss Sadie Dannley bas accepted the posi-
tion of operator in the Commercial Telephone
exchange at State College and is filling the
place most acceptably.
That old veteran Joe Hettinger, who was
one of the first defenders, and his estimable
wife enjoyed the sleighing last Saturday and
drove up from Boalsburg to relish a good
square meal at I. G. Walker's.
Richard Gates, one of the WATCHMAN'S

merchantile establishment in Pittsburg.
Miss Bessie Walker, teacher of the primary
school at this place, who is suffering so
severely from astigmatism of the eyes that
at one time it'was feared she would have to
give up teaching, is some what better.
Geo. E. Corl has become the proprietor of
the laundry at State College. The business
has changed hands several times in the last
year but as Mr. Corl is making some needed
improvements and employing expert workers
there is no reason why he should not give
satisfaction.
A Sunday school convention is slated for
the second week of February to be held in
one of.the churches here. The convention
will be made up of all the Sabbath schools in
this end of the county. An number of min-
isters will be here as well as superintendents
to cover intelligently the field of Sunday
school work.
L. W. Walker, of Fairbrook, has recovered
sufficiently from his recent attack of rheu-
matism, which has laid him up for the last
month, to transact business down at Linden
Hall. Rumor has credited him with buying
one of the brag farms down there and if itis
true who knows how soon he will be appear-
ing before Register Archey to be bowled out
of the bachelor list.
In noticing the death of Emanuel Sunday
we said he starved to death when we should
have said he died of exhaustion super-
induced by cancer of the throat. The ap-
praisers of his estate have estimated it to be
worth nineteen thousand dollars. His son
J. Calvin has the refusal of the farm, stock
and implements and the balance of the estate
is to be divided share and share alike. Rev.
Chas. T. Aikens is the executor. J. W. Sun-
day and A. M. Brown were the appraisers.
Mr. Charles C. Smith and his bride nee
Mattern were welcomed home from their
bridal trip of several weeks, spent among

ner and a number of friends and relatives
were present to enjoy it. The bride, Alice
Gray Mattern, is a daughter of Rev. Mat-
tern, formerly of Stormstown, but now of
La Jose, Clearfield county, where the mar-
riage ceremony was performed during the
holiday week. Charley is to be congrat-
ulated on securing such an accomplished
young lady for his helpmate and companion.

houses on Water street from J. B. Ard and
Co. The one he will occupy and the other

Heberling the lot and cabinet maker shop on
Main street, which he proposes to remodel
into a dwelling to be occupied by him after
April 1st. T. A. Frank has bought a home
at Baileyville. R. G. Goheen has purchased
the Boop home and ground near Baileyville.
Mr, John Hopson, of Connecticut, has be-
come the owner of the Stover and Rankin
farms at Rock Springs. Mr. Hopson made
his first visit here on the 5th and was very
much pleased with Spruce Creek valley and
his new possessions. He is a genial, affable
man well versed in the ways of the world for
he is president and treasurer of the Hopson
and Chapin Manufacturing Ce., of New Lon-
don, Conn., a prosperous and big concern of
the Nutmeg state. His father, George Hop-
son, was one of the pioneer farmers in lower
Bald Eagle valley away back in the forties,
but left there more than twenty-five years
to embank in business in Connecticut. At
his death his son succeeded him and in addi-
tion to his new purchases in this section he
owns the Henry Meyers farm just west of
Boalsburg one of the brag farms of the lo-
cality. It is his intention to spend several
weeks each year on his farms. which event-
ually will become of great worth and beauty.
Jacos Coxpo DEAD.—Jacob Condo, one of
the best citizens of Harris township, died at
his home in Boalsburg, on Saturday morn-
ing, at 4 o'clock after a week’s illness with
pneumonia. On account of his age his friends
had little hope of his recovery from the be-
ginning of his illness. He was born near
Aaronsburg August 12th, 1826, and in the
fall of 1847, he married Rebecca Woll, of that
town. One year later death robbed him of
his wife and child who were both buried in
one coffin and the following year he married
Mary Wolf, his first wife’s sister. Their one
child a beautiful young girl died April 1st,
1882, just as she was growing into woman-
hood. For more than forty years he follow-
ed blacksmithing in Boalsburg, but the latter
years of his life were spent in farming.
He was a member of one of the oldest and
largest German families in Centre county.
Of his six brothers and four sisters, William,
of Aaronsburg; Charles, in the West; I. J.,
and Robert, of Boalsburg, are living. He
was a ruling elder in the Lutheran church
and politically a most faithful and con-
scientious Democrat. His wife, who suf-
ferers greatly from rheumatism, was unable
to attend the funeral which took place on
Monday morning at 10 o’clock but the large
concourse ef people present fully testified to
his fidelity and worth. His pastor, Rev.
Lescher,assisted by the Rev. Black,paid a no-
ble tribute to the white haired old patriarch,
neighbor and friend who had entered into
his reward.
[With apologfes to Maj. Wm. Fry, our very
efticient correspondent at Pine Grove Mills for
infringing on his space, we take the liberty of
appending a letter from Adam Bucher, well
known to most Pine Grove readers, who is now
in Oklahema Territory visiting his brother Sam-
uel.—Eb.]
JEFFERSON, O. T., Jan. 6th, 1900.
* ® % After a three hoursleigh ride in
Altoona on Christmas afternoon we left the
Mountain city that night on fast line and
woke up at Harrisburg to find that there was
no snow at all. It was clear and cold at
Philadelphia, but we didn’t see any more
snow, even at Baltimore, which city I was
very favorably impressed with. I could
make it my home, but Pennsylvania will do
for present emergencies. At Washington
it was very cold and snow fell the second
day we were there, sleighs were out and peo-
ple seemed to be enjoying it immensely. We
left there and sped southward to Louisville,
Ky., where there was a little bit of snow and
thermometers at 0. Louisville is a fine city,
with good stores and streets, courteous peo-
ple and the most complete railway system I
have ever seen.
Little Rock, Ark., was our next stop. It
is a bustling business center quite different
from Memphis, Tenn., where we saw numer-
ous fine buildings and streets strewn with
cotton. The latter place beats Altoona all to
pieces for blowing dust and dirt. Finally
we reached the much boomed Oklahoma to
find it a pretty, productive looking country,
fairly cold at this season, and quite inviting
to anyone not so thoroughly wedded to Penn-
sylvania as I am. We reached brother Sam-
uel’s home on the second day of the new
year. We found them well and properly
proud of their first offspring, a fine baby girl
of five weeks whom they have named
Catherine Grace.
This is what is known as the Cherokee
Strip and in my judgment will make one of
the nicest neighborhoods in the Union when
it is built up and under full cultivation.
Mrs. Bucher agrees with me in this opinion,
but she says she would not give up Altoona
for it. After completing our visit here we
will go up through Kansas and home.
Yours
ADAM BUCHER.
