a .—.,, t Demeerats to Rule in Kentucky. LoUisviLLE, Ky., Feb. 20.—J.C. W. Beckham was deelared Governor by she House and Senate again to-day making the sixth time those bodies have voted to seat Goebel and Beckham. In joint sessions the Democratic members of the Assembiy ratified the action firs taken at she Cap- itol Hotel the night before Goebel died, by which they unseated Taylor and declared Goebel, Governor. : Taylor will a8 once be notified of the joint vote, and then the matter will be taken to Cours for settlement, but until or- dered so surrender Taylor will remain Gov- ernor. He will not be unrewarded when he leaves the Gubernatorial chair. President McKinley has sent word by a trusty lieu- tenant that his course in the last two weeks has incited his deepest admiration and he will see that Taylor is taken care of in the way of a foreign mission. SOLUTION TO VEXED PROBLEM. If Taylor remains in the State he would be the logical nominee next November, but by inducing the President to send him as Minister to some foreign country, the way is open to nominate a strong man for Governor and help out the Presidential ticket, which will also be voted for in No- vember. In this way McKinley hopes to cary Kentucky next fall. Dr. W. Godfrey Hunser, who was a dis- turbing element in Kentucky. Republican ranks, was removed and sent $0 Guatemala by McKinley, and the same plan isto be tried again. The plan is so run ex-Governor Bradley for Governor and make a red-hot campaign, the National Republican Committee dump- i ng a lot of cash into she fight. Plight of Porto Rico. Conditions Worse than During Spanish Regime. Immediate Congressional Action Absolutely Es- sential. SAN Juan, P. R., Feb. 19.—Several of the largess merchants of San Juan, upon being interviewed, unanimously expressed the opinion shat immediate congressional action is absolutely essential to the inter- ests of the island. They say shat the crops are immovable, the proposed duty, under the Foraker bill, on Sugar and tobacco be- ing prohibitive. There are now 3,300,000 pounds of tobacco ready for shipment, and by August there will be 5,000,000 pounds. The best price obtainable for tobacco in New York, under the half dollar duty, is $1.85. There has been a small coffee crop, owing to the the hurricane, and sugar can- not pay the duty imposed, the planters holding their products and awaiting the action of Congress. There is no money to plans new crops or to pay laborers, thousands of whom are on the point of starvation, being unable to ob- tain work. The estates are idle, the bank- ers refuse to advance funds on account of the extension of mortgages; the planters are desperate and the people discouraged, and they demand absolute free trade and authority for the island to contract a loan to pay immediate expenses and for the re- lief of the planters. The local press expresses the opinion that the conditions of the island were bet- ter during the darkest days of the Spanish regime. The Foraker bill would be acceptable without the duty, the merchants being willing to pay arevenue tax in lieu of the tariff, which would relieve the planters. Pointed To Carnegie Profits. Rev. Heber Newton Uses Them as Evidence of the Need for Governmeit Control. NEw York, Feb. 18.—Cooper Union was filled tonight with an audience gather- to hear a discussion on the ethical basis of industrial organization. Prof. Charles Sprangue Smith presided and read a letter from Rev. Dr. Heber Newton, in which the writer said : ‘“What a revelation of the spirit of our modern corporation has been given in the last few days in the astounding statements of the profit of the Carnegie company last year and for the present year. A company expecting to make from $40,000,000 to $50, - 000,000 in the current year on a capital of $25,000,000, to what extent watered, we not know; asking the State to tax the whole nation under the guise of a tariff that it may be able to increase the wages of its workingmen. “No more revolting story is told than the story of the Standard Oil truss as Henry D. Floyd has given it. Regulation and control must be assumed by the State and pushed forward as fast and as far as needful. The end of that control is not to break down the high organization of capital but to safegnard it from its own greed and rapacity, to hu- manize it,and to naturalize it and ultimate- ly to socialize it. The ultimate out- come of the trust seems to me what is prac- tical in the dream of Socialism. An Exciting Scene. In the Death House at Sing 8ing Prison—Roland B. Molineux Was Agitated. NEW YORK, Feb.20.—There was an ex- citing scene in the death house at Sing Sing prison this afternoon. All the men in the cages were greatly shaken. Ro- land B. Molineux was much agitated and was pale and drawn about the face when it was over. All the prisoners were in a sim- ilar condition. Dr. Kennedy is said %o have been so affected that he could hardly stand. Antonio Ferrao is to die next week for a murder committed in September, 1898. Since being in the death house he has pro- ved to be most vicious and uncontrollable. Warden Johnson feared to inform him that all appeals for clemency had failed and that he might die next week. This duty he intrusted to an Italian priest from New York, who visits the condemned man occasionally. The priest went to the death house and informed Ferraro that he mnst expect to die any time after Sunday. The moment Ferrao heard this he burst forth into a prolonged scream. His screeches in the silent room were fearful and were totally unexpected by the prison- ers. For the greater part of half an hour Ferraro screamed hysterically, rushing about the cell and acting in a violent man- ner. Finally the priest calmed him some- what leaving him seated on his cot rocking and moaning. —— Potter county gave a majority of one thousand for the repeal of the special local option law that has jbeen so demoralizing in many places there. The illegal selling of liguor was carried on in resorts known as ‘‘pigs ears” until they have become no- torious as hot-beds of crime and the people of the county have decided that it is better to have liquor sold under the law’s espion- age than to undertake to suppress it through local option.

POs A L1VELY CLASS SCRIMMAGE AT SCOTIA. --The Freshmen and a contingent of the Sophomores of The Pennsylvania State College had a lively class scrimmage at Scotia on Monday afternoon and the resi- dents of thas place had a fine opportunity of witnessing a very amusing class scrap. It was a result of the departure of the Freshmen for their annual class banquet. In this undertaking they are always op- posed by she Sophomores, who are ever watchful to frustrate the plans of their junior classmen. Of course the Ireshies keep as quiet as they can, but it is scarce- ly possible for a body of fifty or seventy five men to slip away from an ins titution without being discovered by someone and should the discoverer be a Sophomore the rallying cry of that class brings his mates to the scene and they try to prevent the de- parture of the Freshmen, kidnap their pres- ident, or play some other trick on them by physical force. Last Monday the Freshmen, fifty in num- ber, started for Tyrone for their banquet at the Ward house that night. The Sophs got wind of their plans and twenty-five of them boarded the same train. At Scotia the banqueters were all in one car and when they started to get out to catch an L. & T. train the Sophs tried to hold them in, so that they would miss the train and not get to Tyrone in time for their ‘‘feed’’ A lively scrap followed, the door of the car was broken, several windows and seats smashed, plenty of heads bruised and cloth- ing tattered, but finally the Freshmen con- quered and went their .way rejoicing, though looking decidedly the worse for the melee they had been in. This ‘‘scrap’’ is purely an amusing inci- dent in the college men’s lives. It is not engendered by any malice and is as much a part of the course at the larger institutions of learning as if recognized as part of it by their faculties. If any damage is done to property it is nearly always of trivial na- ture and immediately paid for by the colle- gians and no one’s comfort is disturbed ex- cept that of the boys who go into the ‘“‘scrap’’ cheerfully and would be disap- pointed if they did not have it. The Tyrone Herald, usually a very sensi- ble paper, takes a highly distorted view of the episode. fpf ren COUNCIL IN SESSION.-—There were seven members present at council meeting Mon- day night and the following business trans- acted : Jno. M. Dale Esq appeared and reported the bad condition of an alley at the rear of of his home on east Linn street. The Street committee then reported that the alley had been fixed up as best it can until spring. The committee also recommended the lay- ing of new walks in front of the Scott and Shoemaker properties on North Thomas street. Council then voted that the own- ers of it and the Curtin estate be notified to lay walks needed within twenty days. The Water committee reported the boil- ers at the wa ter works examined by an ex- pert and pronounced in good condition, with the pumps running twenty-four hours a day. Ed Swiler asked to have water ex- tended to his new house on. Beaver street. ‘Acting upon the complaint of C. M. Bower Esq., that there is a daily scarcity of water at his home on east Linn street, Mr. Hous- er recommended that council take steps to carry into execution the plans for the rais- ing of the reservoir eight feet. The bor- ough engineer was instructed to make an estimate of it and the cost of the work and report at the next meeting. The ordinance opening Shaffer alley, the new way connecting east High and Bishop streets was adopted. It was directed that the Finance commit- tee rent the upper story of the old Undine house, on Logan street, for §2 per month. James R. Hughes appeared and asked council to re-imburse him for damages to a wagon in which he was driving on High street during institute week in December. Mr. Hughes had started with a party of ladies from the Bush house and when in front of Richard’s store his horses took fright at a traction engine coming down street. They wheeled about, smashing in the fron wheel of the trap. Complainant averred that he had had no warning from the people in charge of the engine, but council insisted that the responsibility did not rest with it and laid the matter on the table. The following bills were approved and the meeting adjurned: E. Keller Co $330 A. Allison, pave w 3 45 Street pay roll..... 82 09 Hogarth & Hoffm 13 36 "Potter & Hoy, hardware... 9 09 Water pa; Olle .

When the 47th U. S. Vol. Inf., sailed from New York on the transport Thomas there were many Bellefonte boys with it. One wore the straps of a lieutenant, sev- eral the chevrons of the non-com. and quite a number were plain, every day pri- vate soldierg. There were many good fel- lows among them, but in the lot there was no more unique character than private Jim Vallance. Of course he isn’t just the sort of fellow who would stand up in an old fashioned M ethodist meeting to tell his experience. but if he lives to get home there will be a deluge of stories such as this town has never heard before about army life in the Philippines and the First national bank steps will be crowded every pleasant evening until Jim has run dry. He has juss enough Irish in him to make him smooth of speech and wh en it comes to fixing up a story with the proper trimmins he can'make all the other members of the famous ‘‘Sons of Rest’’ mute as a sheeny with his hands tied. The letter below is to his fellow ‘‘Son,’”’ George Weaver, and is dated. San Pedro, Macati, Dec. 30th, ’99. FRIEND GEORGE: I will now try and write you a few lines to let you know that I am still in the land of the living; at present feeling well and happy as a fellow can under the circumstances. We arrived in Manila bay after being out forty-nine days from New York and en route touched at Gibralter, Malta, Port Said, Suez and Singapore and if I ever get back I will sit down on the old bank steps and make you weary telling you about the trip. I am writ- ing thisin a Spanish General’s house; that is, it was once, but we are using it now as a barracks. We are on the firing line, but have not seen much excitement, except when on out- post duty the other night they sent a few singers after us and it proved that a tin sol- dier would not get much show, as it is the real thing that we are up against. Our com- pany is the first company in the first bat- talion and as Maj. Wise, who has the reputa- tion of being the hottest fighter who has ever come over, joined us at Manila, we expect to do some business before we get home. This is a great country, hotter than hades and the natives run wild with little on them; occasionally having a handkerchief or banana leaf hanging from a string about their waists. The Utah battery put this town on the bum proper. It has been shelled from the Pasig river and you can bet they made a good job of it. It looks to me about as sick as some of the suckers did after they had been ‘‘shell- ed’’ by the fakirs in the wake of Wallace's circus. The 21st Regulars are here from the north firing line and they are pretty badly cut up. To tell the truth it looks as if the trouble is only teginning. We are stationed about half a mile from where Gen. Lawton was killed and patrolled the very spot only two days before. Wierd sights confront you here on all sides. Churches are torn to piecesand the dead scattered about from wrecked vaults that had not been opened for hundreds of years. Old convents and fortresses, centuries old, are blown to pieces and some of the scenes uncovered are something fierce. As far as I have been able to observe the land seems prolific of bananas, rice, cocoa nuts and monkeys. Manila is a great city. It is a beautiful place and you might imagine the effect of the houses and parks verdant with such plants and trees as we see only in the hot housesat home. Things in general are dif- ferent. The houses of the natives are noth- ing but a few bam-boo poles; in fact they could scarcely be called houses, but they are El) cute looking that I am ata loss to name them properly. Oh, for one good drink of Bellefonte water. The fluid we get here is not fit to drink with- out being boiled first. Tell Reddy Smith he is missing half of his life, but if he was here he might miss all of it, and that is no joke. From your friend, JAMES VALLANCE. Nome City, Alaska, Is twenty-eight hundred miles from Seattle, via ocean. It is said to be the richest gold field dis- covered up to this time. The first steamer will leave Seattle on or about May 10th, 1900. For full particulars, maps, etc., address W. 8. Howell, General Eastern Passenger Agent, Chicago, Mil- waukee & St. Paul Railway, 381 Broadway, New York, or John R. Pott, District Passenger Agent, Williamsport, Pa. Centre Hall. Finley Stover, of Potters Mills, and Miss Mary Koch daughter of George W. Koch were married in Bellefonte on Wednesday by the Rev. Rearich of the Lutheran church. Two more horse sales will be held at Runk- le’s hotel, on March 1st and 3rd, by Benjamin Gentzell, of near Zion; and C. G. Meyers, of Colbin, I1l., respectively. James Durst, who in the spring will go to farming near Potters Mills, bought the finest team of draught horses offered at the horse sale yesterday (Thursday.) Will Boozer is assisting wiring and putting in phones for the Commercial telephone com- pany at Lock Haven. He also looks after the lines somewhat here at his home. The Misses Bible will build a new front to their farm house, below town, next summer. The old log part of the dwelling will be torn down. This structure is an old landmark, but its days of usefulness are about passed. Charles Emerick, son of M. L.. Emerick, of this place, has secured employment at the Warren insane asylum. That makes the fourth young man of that name engaged at that institution, the others being Benjamin, Howard and George Emerick, sons of Henry Emerick. The election passed off quietly, but not without those having the ballot-itch scratch- ing, for entirely personal reasons. The re- sult was that those who were scratchel the hardest had the largest majorities. James Stahl was up to Newton Hamilton recently and brought back with him his fath- er who will make his home here in the fu- ture. James will build an addition to his house which the elder Stahl and his daugh- ter, Miss Jennie, will occupy. Wm. Strunk and Oliver U. Strunk, will move from Centre Hall. The senior Strunk will take up his residence with his mother at Green Grove, near Penn Hall, and Oliver will more than likely live for a year at Sprucetown. The Strunks sold their shingle mill and will now operate a portable saw mill the first contract being to cut a tract on the Arney farm now owned by the Homans. Edward Foreman, our energetic builder and contractor, was married, Wednesday, to Miss Mary Goodhart. The ceremony was performed at the home of the bride’s father, William Goodhart, at Penn’s Cave station with only a few guests present but all the accessories of a promising, happy wedding. The groom is a young man of sterling worth and discernig ambition with many friends who wish him and his happiness and success. The musical convention held last week in the United Evangelical church was an entire success. The concerts were well attended, and those who sang without exception would be entitled to personal notice but for want of space. The trustees of the church were much pleased upon entering the building Saturday morning to find that that furniture or fixtures were in no way damaged from the entire week’s use. Neither were the floors soiled with tobacco, which speaks highly for the respect shown to their church. The borough public schools had a special program for Washington’s birthday. Each of the four schools had their own exercises. Some of the citizens and parents of scholars who take an interest in school work were present to witness the exercises. The amount raised for the soldier's monument in the dif- ferent schools amounted to $10.01. Of that the High school, of which Prof. Wagonseller is the teacher, contributed $1.75; the gram- mar school taught by D. W. Geiss $2.06; soc- ondary grade. S. H. Foreman teacher, .60, and the primary, Miss Annie Bartholomew’s school, $5.60. Barton’s performance in the grange Arcadia Thursday and Saturday nights of last week were all that could be expected. He is, to say the least, a clever man. The Amazon march was very pretty and correct. The various business firms had their representa- tives decorated in good style and in some in- stances great artistic skill was shown. The grange Arcadia is now ready for business with five full sets of scenery composed of a street, parlor, kitchen, wood and prison scenes. The ceiling and walls are handsomely dec- orated. All that remains to now make the hall first-class in every respect is to replace the temporary seats for those up to date, which will be done soon as possible. The meetings held in the Lutheran’charch are being well; attended. They are cond uct- ed by evangelist Warden. The Reformed classis met in extra session at this place Tuesday and installed Rev. Kerschner and dismissed Rev. George, of the Rebersburg charge, and Rev. Runkle, of the Nittany valley charge. Nittany. Mrs. J H. Beck has gone to visit her daughter, Mrs. W. Brant at Mt. Joy. Wm. Snavely shipped $40 worth of furs to commission men last week. Rev. Bergen, of the Disciple church, preached in the chapel Sunday evening. Is this the 19th or 20th century? Ask Ed. Peck and James Irvin for the answer. Quite a number of our young men have gone to Graceton to work in the coal mines. Orwig has received the machinery for his new saw mill, which burned several weeks ago. Howard Zerby sold a choice Guernsey cow this. week. He keeps nothing but choice stock. Sheriff Joe Emerick is collecting his rem- nant taxes and has proven himself an excel- lent supervisor. Frank Emerick Jr. has severed his connec: tions here on the R. R. division and gone to Logan, Mifflin county. Mr. Orndorf, of Green Burr, came to Hus- ton for a load of coaland by a misstep, fell and broke his arm while here. Members of the Evangelical church will hold a chicken and waffle supper in their church Saturday evening, Feb. 24th. Mrs. Chas. Beck is seriously ill with heart trouble at present; the family have the sym- pathy of the entire community during their affliction. Mrs. Robb has bought a house in Bellefonte and is preparing for sale here. Her great- est dilemma is what shall I keep and what shall 1 sell. John A. Dorman, the champion coon kunt- er, is devoting his time to repairing boots and shoes for a change from slaughtering the possum and skunk. Mrs. Samuel Showers and her daughter, Mrs. Dan Diehl, have been ill the last two weeks with bad colds and sore throats. Mrs. Charles McClintic is also on the list of sick. Elmer Snavely and Wm. Showers, two first class mechanics, were running the saw mill, owned by Al.Spayd. The owner being laid up for repairs, logs accumulated in abundance. John Shields, who had been laid off the R. R. division during summer on account of lame shoulder, is again afflicted, but this time his twinges are located in the ankle; his limb being very painful. Rev. Remer, presiding elder of the Evan- gelical church, held communion services here last Sundaygjand also delivered an excellent sermon. Rev. Searls, one of the best edu- cated ministers ever located in this charge, assisted in the services. Tommy Bartley has some notion of having M. D. attached to his name. His wife had an attack of grip and thinking quinine tab- lets would assist the physician’s prescription he administered several tablets, which caused her to b ecome seriously ill. Dr. McCormick was soon at hand and advised proper treat- ment and the invalid is now in a hearty con- dition, Tom has taken his shingle down and it reads “I'll be a farmer.” Millheima. The entire Democratic ticket was elected in the borough. Frank Woomer and Harper Springer, of Bellefonte, were in Millheim Sunday. Mr. Allie Homan, of Saxton, was the guest of Miss Mabel Zeigler, Friday and Saturday last. Quite a few of our people attended the sev- eral concerts given by the convention at Centre Hall last week. Mrs. S. M. Campbell gave a party at her home for her Sunday school class last Tues- day evening. Charles Schaeffer, who is taking the cream- ery course at State College Sundayed with his Millheim friends. Misses Kate and Nettie Stover, of Madison- burg, were the guests of their sister, Mrs. F. E. Gutelius, Tuesday. Lewis Hassinger, Jacob Raymond, Oscar Wirt and John Wirt, with their families, will move to Patton, Cambria county, where they have procured employment in the tile works some time in the spring. George Springer, the barber, sold his bird dog, Fan, last week, for $45. The dog was a Llewellyn setter bitch which had been raised and trained by Mr. Springer, himself. This is the second dog wh he ichhas sold. The car load of horses bought for Frank Foresman by Messrs. F. O. Hosterman and Samuel Ulrich, was shipped to Philadelphia Tuesday morning. Geo. Strausser also ship- ped a load to Manheim, Lancaster county, Wednesday morning. Miss Jessie Harter, of State College, came from her home to take charge of the domes- tic affairs in the family of her uncle, Wm. Miller. Some time ago Mrs. Miller while go- ing up the steps fell and ‘injured her right knee. Until about a week ago she was able to walk about and attend her household du- ties but since then the wound started to beal and now she is unable to walk. The local K. G. E. lodge has invested in a polyphone and numerous records for the same. recitations are as realistic as it is possible for a phonograph to make them. One number which is particularly fine is a repro- duction of the chimes of Trinity church, New York city. The K. G. E. are certainly progressive which is plainly shown by their rapidly increasing strength. Books, Magazines, Etc. Mr. Ernest Seton-Thompson, the author of “Wild Animals I Have Known,” and whose “Biography of a Grizzly” will soon be published by the Century Co., has written for The Century Magazine several articles on “The National ‘Zoo’ at Washington,” the first one of which will appear in the March number, with lliustrations by the author. —Mr. Seton-Thompson, in this article, will make a powerful plea for the preservation of wild animals now threatened with extinction. He raises a question as to whether domestic animals have not been of more value to mankind than hu- man inventions. Everybody's Magazine for March is rich in that sort of plersant reading that combines instruction with quick and easy interest. Of the important articles is “A Glimpse of the Germ World,” by G. W. Winterburn, M. D. This is the simple explanation for the month, and takes up the subject of bacteria and the enor- mous amount of good they: do to humanity.’ Theodore Tacy tells of “The Silk Industry in America.” His article is the first in the series “Great American Industries,” and tells a remark- able story of a wonderful success following un- numbered failures. There are fifteen short storie: and articles of the type dictated by the policy of this magazine, snappy, bright, intere st- ing and clean. New Advertisements.

I desire to announce that I will open a firsé class Clothing and Gents’ Furnishing store, which will be located in the vacant room of Reynolds’ Bank building, Allegheny street, Bellefonte, Pa., and it will be known as ‘SIM THE CLOTHIER.” During the past twelve years I was connected with the firm of Messrs. Montgomery & Co., in this place, as a buyer and salesman, and in that time I had ample opportunity to study the wants of our people and gain a good idea of what is required in this branch of trade; and it will be my ambition to give this venture the full benefit of that experience. The store will contain an entirely new selection, as I have just returned from the Eastern cities where I selected the very latest and choicest goods on the market. It will be ‘“up-to-date’’ in every particular, embracing those goods that will be be popular and principally worn the coming season which every purchaser will appreciate.
