——A. R. Alexander, who moved from
Penn township, this county, to Missouri
last fall writes home that he is in the midst
of a very fine farming region. He says
they have their stock in pasture already,
the wheat and grass are both growing
splendidly, oats is well along, corn planted
and one man can do as much as two in Cen-
tre Co. He states that the prices of horses
and mules are advancing rapidly, owing to
the demand for them for service in South
Africa.
Millheim.
Walter Albright returned home last Satur-
day. He had been employed at Mifflinburg
but he has come to town to stay.
Mrs. Susan Kreamer, of State College,
came to Millheim last Wednesday for a few
week’s stay with relatives in town.
The Commercial company has its local
switch board in operation. It isin charge of
Misses Mabel Zeigler and Bessie Noll and,
therefore, cannot fail to give satisfaction to
the company’s patrons.
According to one of the local correspon-
dents of a county paper a man’s ability to
hold office depends upon the number of feet
front he owns. He’s only a little man ‘‘but
still the wonder grows that one small head
can carry all he knows.”
Centre Hall.
Peter Smith, of Centre Hill, expects to re-
model his farm house this summer.
Day laborers are hunted up very close
these days. Even the habitual brick presser
is pressed into service.
Messrs Arney and Mingle planted a large
number of peach trees in their orchard on the
north side of Blue ball mountain.
W. A. Curray opened his shoe making es
tablishment in the new building erected for
that purpose by ex-Sheriff Spangler.
Assessor Boozer made his return last week
and if the tax payers examine the assessor's
pay list they will find his bill among the
least in comparison to the work done.
Paper hangers Stover and Arney and John
Krumbine are busy decorating walls and ceil-
ings, all of which indicate that people expect
to live in the usual good style in this town.
B. D. Brisbin has a fine lot of steers at S.
W. Smith’s stable in town, which he is hold-
ing for market. He has also a fine specimen
of a bull that tips the scales at over one ton.
John Smith and Mr. Hayes, of Lamar,
made a business trip to Centre Hall with ref-
erence to W. O. Rearick’s corn planter,which
machine will be very much in evidence the
next few weeks.
Thomas Kerstetter secured employment
with wheelman W. W. Boob, and went to
work on Monday. He stepped into the va-
cancy made by Fred Christine, who is doing
outside work.
Harry Potter went to the Lebanon Business
college on Monday, where he expects to take
a regular course and prepare himself for a
business life. He is a bright young man and
should make his mark.
D. L. Bartges, south of town, had a big po-
toto planting Tuesday. He is not discourag-
ed with the present outlook for fair prices
for last year’s crop, but concluded to plant
largely and next season stock the market
himself.
Philip Liester and family started for Lin:
coln county, Neb., Monday morning, which
place he will make his home and engage in
farming. He was engaged in lumbering and
jockying at Potters Mills for a number of
years.
Mrs. Rishel, widow of John Rishel, de-
ceased, is lying in a very critical condition
at the home of Mrs. Elizabeth Runkle, in
this place, from a complication of diseases,
due to old age. Her son, Rev. C. W. Rishel,
is by her bedside at present.
More horses have changed hands in this
valley this spring than has been the case for
a number of years. Reference is here made
to horses sold outside the public sales and the
dozen horse sales this spring and with all
that a good horse need not go begging for a
buyer.
A great many property owners planted
shade, ornamental and fruit trees in town
this spring. And now it is a question wheth-
er or not the trees should not be left leave at
leaving time just as lief as to leave the leaves
leave later on, and not lament because the
trees are leaving.
Al. Weiland, who for the past few years
held a good position with a Syracuse pick-
ling firm, has quit that business to take
charge of the corporation books and do the
buying for the company store of the firm of
the Leatherwood Lumber company, located
at Clay, West Virginia. Al was here on Mon-
day to see his friends prior to going to his
southern home.
Miller Goodhart is going into trucking and
will plant peas in great quantities, also sweet
corn and cabbage. If the cabbage crop does
well the coming season a few car loads will
go out over the rails to market. The reader
will be infringing upon personal rights to
either say or think that the crop of cabbages
should be very large about Centre Hall, judg-
ing from outward appearances.
Jerry Miller was a passenger to Harrisburg
Monday morning. From that place he and
his sister-in-law, Mrs. Annie Widder, wife of
Dr. Widder, on Tuesday started to Missoula,
Montana. They will be gone some six or
eight weeks at least, and if Jerry finds some-
thing to suit his taste in the barber line out
there his family will follow him. Missoula
is where Jacob Harpster lives, who, when he
left this town about eight years ago, claimed
the distinction of having lived in Centre Hall
longer than any other citizen.
Centre Hall is without the weather signals,
and in consequence we have had but one kind
of weather—dry—this spring. Messrs Wolf &
Crawford faithfully hung out the weather
signals every day for several years, and our
people were accustomed to look daily to see
what the weather bureau had to say. Mer-
chants Meyer and Musser wouldn’t take any-
thing from the public that wasn’t just, but if
they will throw aside their honesty long
enough to take a hint, the weather signals
will float from the flag staff which is located
near their place of business as soon as the nec-
essary repairs can be made.
Madisonburg.
Mrs. Wm. Keller, who was seriously ill, is
somewhat improved.

ment,

home at present on account of the illness of
her mother.
Rev. Herman, of Selingsgrove, preached
an able sermon in the Lutheran church
on Sunday.
Miss Sara Bierly and Blaine L. Noll are at-
tending Prof. Rothrock’s school at Millheim.
May success be with them.
If every place is as well supplied with saw
mills as our district, lumber would surely
not advance in price on account of scarcity.
James Kling paid a short visit to his fath-
er-in-law, William Hazel, of this place, pre-
vious to his departure for Somerset county.
Even if Boss Quay is unseated, another
caucus would be welcome to many. Although
everybody was not fortunate enough at
the other one, we still suppose only gold was
used as that is their favorite standard.
Philipsburg.
The evening train on the N. Y. C. H.
R. R., was five hours late Saturday on ac-
count of a wreck at Forge Run.

days in Indiana county looking over coal
fields. The out-look in the coal trade still

rapidly bought up.
Peale, Peacock and Kerr, who bought the
Nutall estate, have shipped a saw mill to
Decatur Mine, where the timber is located,
and the mill erected to cut all the timber
needed for their various operations.

the remodeling of the M. E. church at this
place. During the the time consumed for
this work, the congregation will worship in
the old planing mill of Hoover, Hughes & Co,
It is being fitted up for that purpose. The
work on the church will take six month.
L. M. Peters, for years conductor for the
N.Y. C., on Munson Branch, will leave next
week for Hot Springs, Ark., to take treat-
ment for a severe attack of rheumatism,
which has caused his absence from duty more
than half time during the past two years. It
is earnestly hoped by his many friends that
he will come back much benefited, if not en-
tirely cured.
Books, Magazines, Ete.
——Prof. N. S. Shaler, of Harvard University,
contributes the second of his thoughtful papers
on the Negro Question to the May number of
Appletons’ Popular Science Monthly. Anyone who
is interested in the subject—and every one should
be interested, as it is one of the most important
economic questions which the United States has
got to solve in the near future—should make it a
point to read Professor Shaler’s articles, which
throw an entirely new light on the real difficulties
between the whites and blacks.
The May number of EVERYBODY'S MAGAZINE is
full of that sugar-coated information of which its
conductors are making a specialty. There is not
a dull page inthe book, nor one which sounds
“educational;” but no one can read this number
without adding materially to his store of knowl-
edge.
The “Simple Explanation” for the month de-
scribes in plain language the working of the tele-
phone—*‘one of the simplest but most sensitive
contrivances known to the electrical mechani-
cian.”
“Helping the Cubans to Help Themselves” is a
plain statement of a great charity, whose workings
are not widely known tothe public at large. It
treats of the foundation and operation of the Cu-
ban Orphan Society, which has undertaken the
tasks of feeding and educating as many as it can
of the little ones in Cuba whom the merciless de-
crees of “Butcher Weyler,” left homeless, or-
phaned and destitute.
—THe Coming Toran Ecuipse oF THE SuN, due
in the United States on the morning of the 28th
of May next, will very probably materially ad-
vance our scientific knowledge of this strange
phenomenon. Owing chiefly to the ready ac-
cessibility of the sections where its totality oc-
curs, much interest is already being shown by
the general public regarding the best means for
amateur observations and facts connected with
eclipse history. An article directly in this line—
giving a general account of the history of eclipses;
what has been discovered by their aid, and what
yet remains to be elucidated; how they may best
be observed by one not equipped with a telescope;
the features of special interest to be watched for,
and the various times and places where the to-
tality may be seen—is published in Appletons’
Popular Science Monthly tor May. A number of
maps and diagrams add very much to the clear-
ness and interest of the article, which is written
by Prof. F. H. Bigelow, of the United States
Weather Bureau.

Women Get Rich as Well as Men.
How One Woman Makes $18.00 to $40.00 a Week.
Many women say it is hard to get along in the
world because they do not have the chance to
malke money that men do. I disagree with them,
for I am perfectly independent since starting in
business a few months ago, and never make less
than $18.00 a week, and often as much as $40.00. I!

which we tried in cakes, candies, custards, and
ice cream at our church sociable. Everything
was so delicious that 1 wrote for the agency at
once, and had no trouble in establishing a regular
trade with my neighbors, which only occupies
the time I can spare from household duties. The
manufacturers say they will employ any earnest

of their time, and I can say I never heard of
such an easy way to make money. MRS. W—-
