WETZEL, For Assembly—{ J’ KEPLER, For Jury Commissioner— FREDERICK ROBB. ee] Local Political Melange. Up to the opening of this week local poli- tics seemed to he as quiet as a country church yard, there was nothing to indicate that the Republicans even intended going through the formality of holding a county convention and every thing looked as if they intended leaving the election in the fall go by default. If such was the program it has been changed very suddenly, for on Monday morning it was announced that a county convention had been ordered for the second week in September, and ‘‘Our Dan’’ de- clared his intention of remaining at home to ‘ ‘devote one month to county politics.” There was a shaking up at once of political dry bones. Lots of the little fellows ran for orders and anything else they could get, while the ones who usually work the spigot of the bar’l looked wise and said ‘“we’re not just ready to say what we are going to do.” The HASTINGS people have been known to be after legislative timber for some time. Probably that’s what the visit of ‘Oar DAN” JoHN P. HARRIS to Hon. WM. AL- LISON, at Spring Mills, on Monday, meant and the little trip of the former Governor to Philipsburg, the next day was undoubt- edly freighted with the same significance. The QUAY people had been sleeping on their arms up to the moment the other fel- lows woke up and then NED CHAMBERS office took on the aspect of a Boxer army camp about to he attacked by the allies. The stalwarts have been running there in hordes this week and it looks as if they are going to show the other side that ‘‘the old man’’ isn’t so near dead in Centre county that his shroud need be ordered just yet. Another event that has created more than passing interest is Judge LOVE’S as- piration to succeed the late Hon. HENRY M. GREEN on the Supreme bench of Penn- sylvania. A petition has been circulated among the members of the har of Centre county praying that Governor STONE honor Judge LovE with this appointment. The paper has been signed by about all the lawyers and sets forth Judge LovE’s quali- fications and claims in glowing language. In the event of Judge LoOVE’s appoint- ment to the Supreme bench he would sit there until January ist, 1902, when a suc- cessor by election would take the seat. Of course such a fortunate happening as his appointment would leave the Centre county bench empty and Gov. STONE would then appoint a judge to serve here until the place wonld be filled by the gen- eral election in November, 1901. ——See to it that you are registered and assessed by September 4th, because that will be the last day on which you can get on the list in time to vote in November. ——September 3rd and 4th will be the last days on which you can be registered and assessed for the purpose of voting. Wisconsin’s Fierce Tornado. Destroyed a Hundred Buildings, Causing $100,000 Damages. SHEBOYGAN, August 21.—A recount of the buildings wrecked here in the tornado yesterday shows that first reports were considerably exaggerated. Nevertheless, nearly 100 buildings were destroyed and the money loss foots up about $100,000. The most remarkable feature of the storm is that not a life was lost. Most of the wrecked buildings were frame affairs of small worth. Reports from the north show that the storm originated at Marinette and followed the line of the Chicago & Northwestern railroad south to Oshkosh. There it veer- ed to the eastward and spent its fury on Lake Michigan. While it did considerable damage all along its track, it was most severe here. The width of thestorm was about half a mile. It did not move close to the earth only touching at wide intervals. Attack on the Pekin Legations Hastened Relief Column Forward. Generals became Alarmed at the Heavy Firing by the Ch and d on the City Independently. The Stars and Stripes Raised —Company E, of the Fourteenth Infantry, was First to Plant its Flag— Heroic Act of Musician Titus who Scaled the Walls With a Rope. PEKIN, Aug. 14, via Chefu, Aug 21.— The American and Russian flags were planted on the east wall of Pekin at 11 o’- clock this morning. The Indian troops entered the British legation at 1 and the Americans at 3 o'clock. There was a joy- ful reception from the wall. The emaciated tenants could have lasted but little longer. They had only three days’ rations. The Chinese had been at- tacking furiously for two days. Four thousand shells fell in the legation during the seige. Sixty-five were killed and 160 wounded. The Japanese began the battle before daylight, pa they are still fighting about the north wall, where a part of the Chinese are defending the imperial city. The Jap- anese casualties have not heen ascertained. The Russians had 5 killed and 12 wounded. The Americans and British had a few wounded. The plan was to make a general attack to-morrow. The troops were arriving at camp, five miles east, all night. They were completely exhausted and slept in the cornfields in the rain. The generals, however, alarmed at the sounds of a heavy attack on the legations, pushed forward independently, the Ameri- cans, British and French on the left of the river, and the Russians and Japanese on the right. Beginning at 2 o’clock this morning, they diverted the brunt of the resistance to the northern city, their ar- tillery engaging the Chinese heavily there. The Americans and British met with little resistance until they entered the city, where there was street fighting. Reilly’s battery attempted to breach the inner wall. The troops finally entered the foreign set- tlement through the canal. Company E, Fourteenth U. 8. Ibf., planted its flag on the outer wall, musician Titus scaling the wall with a rope, by the means of which others climbed to the top. EMPRESS TOOK A FORTUNE. PARIS, Aug. 21.—The ‘‘Temps’’ pub- lished a dispatch from Shanghai, dated Aug. 21st, saying it is reported there that the dowager empress fled from Pekin with treasure amounting to 50,000,000 taels ($70,000,000), and that she is ‘“'surround- ed by Japanese cavalry.” SHANGHAI, Aug. 21.—It is reported here that the "Japanese cavalry, who went in pursuit of the empress and her court. have overtaken them and now surround them. The empress has a vast guautity of the imperial treasure in her possession. Yuan Shi Kai, the Governor of Shang Tang, is dead. The foreign officials here learn that the telegraph from Tien Tsin has been cut. The position of the allies is uncertain, and a large body of Chinese troops has taken the field. OUR FLAG ON PEKIN’S WALL. AMERICAN LEGATION, PEKIN, Aug 24. —4 p. m.—Via Chefu, Aug. 20, and Shang- hai, Aug. 21.—The Americans, British and Russians are in the city. The lega- tion people aresafe. During the siege 57 persons have been killed and 100 odd wounded. There has heen considerable sickness. The Russians disregarded the agreement of the commanders of the allies and attack- ed last night single handed. Thereupon all the forces-ad vanced. Two companies of the Fourteenth Unit- ed States infantry climbed the east outer wall and hoisted the Stars and Strips at 11 o’clock. The Japanese kept up a vigorous bom- bardment. All the troops are now inside and are advancing toward the wall of the Tartar citv. A oh: Formerly Lived im Altoona.

THE CASE OF OSCAR MILES SETTLED.— The case of the United States Government vs Oscar Miles, the well known young merchant of Milesburg, was settled at Al- toona yesterday afternoon and in due time Mr. Miles’ lawyers will issue a.statement of the entire trouble and which will satis- factorily ciear up the charge against him. He had been held under §1.500 bail by United States Commissioner McLeod, in Altoona, on the charge of securing the pen- sion check of Mrs. Sarah E. Kellerman from the United States mail without war- rant of law; of securing from her her signa- ture while she was unconscions and with getting the money the pension called for. It was alleged that the signature was secur- ed by the accused taking the hand of Mrs. Kellerman and making a cross on the pa- per. The lady was ill at the time and un- der the influence of chloroform. The friends of Mr. Miles know him to be one of the county’s most straightforward and reputable business men. They look upon the entire matter as a mistake, as he has too long enjoyed the public confidence, without betraying it, to lead them to be- lieve that he is now guilty of any crime.

Scott of the Presbyte- rian church officiating. The ceremony was performed in the spacious parlor of the Irvin homestead, which was tastefully decorated with greens and potted plants. Miss Eleanor Irvin, a sister of the bride, played the wedding march and the party made an effective picture as it entered and proceeded down the aisle made by the as- .sembled gnests to where the minister stood awaiting them. After the ceremony a re- ception was held on the lawn, where re- freshments were served. The bride .and groom left later, amid a shower of rice and old shoes,for Howard, whence they depart- ed on a tour to Niagara Falls and other northern resorts.

The groom is a son of Mr. James Martin, is a graduate of Franklin and Marshall College, and a rising young educational instructor. SR A SURPRISE WEDDING.—It had been ramored for some time that they were to be married in the fall, so the wedding of Joseph A. Twitmire and Miss Margaret B. Undarwood, on Wednesday evening, was a very great surprise to their many friends in this place. The event was none the less happy be- cause it was entirely devoid of any display or previous announcements. Accompanied by Charley Larimer and Miss Jennie Stover they drove to Mileshurg, where, in the presence of a few visitors at the par- sonage, Rev. Wharton, of the Methodist church, pronounced the words that united them for life. After the ceremony the bride and groom, with their companions, who had acted as hest man and maid of honor for them, re-entered their trap and drove to Howard, later returning to their home in this place. The groom is the second son of W. T. Twitmire, of this place, and is a very nice young man, while his bride is a danghter of Mr. Zeph.Underwood, of Howard street. and is an exceedingly attractive girl. The young people expect to make . their home at Underwood's for several weeks until they go to Pittshurg, where the groom ex- pects to secure a position. —— A BRILLIANT WEDDING.—By far the most brilliant social event which has taken place in Mileshurg for many a day was the marriage of Miss Florence Mae Orris, daughter of S. H. Orrig, and Mr. Elmer Davis, of Rochester, N. Y., in the Metho- dist Episcopal church there at noon on Wednesday. The charch was elaborately decorated with flowers and greens and fill- ed with smartly dressed women and men. Preceding the ceremony Miss Elsie Weaver, of this place, who is an instructor of music in Kee Mar college, in Hagers- town, Md., entertained the guests with some good music and at twelve o’clock be- gan the march from Lohengrin asthe pro- cessional for the bridal party. The brides- maids entered the church and proceeded up the east aisle, while the ushers entered at the same time and marched up the west aisle. First came Miss Jeanette Stover, of Ligonier, followed by vhe Misses Elizabeth and Madge Orris, sisters of the bride, while directly opposite them were the ushers W. Harrison Walker, of Bellefonte, followed by Samuel Taylor, of Bellefonte,aud Ellery Hoover, of Lock Haven. Then came lit- tle Martha Barnhart, daughter of J. K. and Mrs.. Barnhart, of this place, carrying. a great bunch of white flowers. She was followed closely by the bride and her maid of honor, her sister Miss Ida Orris, while opposite-them, by the west aisle, the groom and his best man, Frank Smith, of John- sonburg, approached the chancel where Rev. Wharton awaited them and pro- nounced the ceremony. The bride, who is a tall, slender attractive girl, was dressed in white Paris muslin over white taffeta. She carried pink roses, while her maids had huge bunches of pink carnations. They wore white organdies.and white tulle hats. After the ceremony a delicious wedding breakfast was served to the guests at small tables on the lawn at the Orris home and later in the afternoon the bridal party came up to the Bush house, whence the pride and groom departed for a month’s stay at Cape May, Philadelphia, and other eastern points. Upon their return they will make their home at Mileshnrg, where Mr. Davis has his headquarters as a travel- ing salesman for L. P. Ross, of Rochester, N. Y., his native place. The bride isa graduate of the Lock Haven Normal school and has been a successful teacher in Boggs township for several years. She is one of a family of excellent girls and deserves only good fortune and happiness. RARE i MARRIED—J. Franklin Fields and An- na Ghaner, both of Benore, were married at that place on the 15th inst., by Rev. David F. Kapp, pastor of the Methodist church. A GREAT CAMPING EXPEDITION.— Fred Lane, Arthur Grauer, Louis Dagget and Lee Walker left town on Monday morning for the mountains back of the Burnside farm, which is occupied by Mor- ris Furey. There they were to be joined by George Furey and the quintet expect to spend a week or more camping. They sent their tent down on a milk-wagon and then walked the three miles to their des- tination. Notwithstanding the fact that they are located in a region that is dry as a Fourth of July punk stick the boys took their bathing suits along, because, as Louis Dag- get suggested, ‘‘you can run like the deal in them if a katty-did or a tumble bug gits after you.’ Of course there is a lit- tle water at a spring, a mile and a half off, where they are getting what they need to drink, but after Arthur Grauer and Lee Walker toted the first pailful into camp they took a vote immediately and carried it with enthusiastic unanimity that anyone caught washing his faze or hands would have to leave ‘‘his head out from under the covers when the hoot owls holler.” Yesterday Mr. Furey became alarmed be- cause he hadn’t seen them for several days, so he went up to the camp and found the party prisoners in a shanty they had built. They were hoarse as toads from yelling for help and when he got there their eyes were red and swollen. Of course they hadn’t been crying. They are too brave for that, but they did think it would be nice to see their mammas again. It appears that the boys were building a shanty without any doors or windows to it, because they didn’t want to be disturbed at night, so they de- cided to make the entrance from the roof. They had it all completed but the ladder to reach down the inside when darkness overtook them Wednesday night. They were all up on the roof working away when George Furey thought he heard a strange noise; then Fred Lane heard (?) it, then they all heard it (?) and then Norman Grauer was sure he saw something behind a tree up in the woods. Just then a fire- fly flashed out his little lamp up in that direction and there were five heads with hair as straight as porcupine quills, for they were all certain that ‘‘someone was up there with a bull’s-eye lantern. No one was afraid (?) but they didn’t think it was worth while to get down off the roof to get supper. Shadows were falling fast and the woods took on that ap- pearance of being alive with flitting phau; toms, every one of which looked like a man or some terrible animal to that little band on the roof. Louis Dagget was near- ly dead for a drink, but he didn’t say so for fear some one would suggest that he climb down and get one. It grew darker, and darker and darker, until finally the boys, who had been scattered about over the roof, began to move up closer to each other. Nota word was spoken, they grad- ually got to cutting their breath short and were huddling in closer and’ closer, when right above their heads rang out that dis- cordant, terrifying, lonely, Hoo0-00-00-00- 00-oot! of the screech owl. Well that was the end of it. Lee Walker jumped against Fred Lane and Fred pushed George Furey, who was nearest the hole in the roof, and down went the whole bunch into the bot- tom of the cabin. Then there was noth- ing left for Louis to do but jump in, because he ‘‘didn’t want the fellers to be down there all alone.”’ None of them will tell how they spent the night, but when good old daylight came they found they couldn’t get oat and were just about giving up to the idea of playing modern babes in the wood when Mr. Furey appeared on the scene. Ls GIVEN A RECEPTION.—On. Friday eve- ning Hon. A. O. Furst retarned from a three months trip abroad and when he ar- rived at his home on west Linn street there was quite a party of his friends there to welcome him home. ' It was a very infor- mal gathering, the sole purpose being to express the pleasure of his fellow citizens at seeing the distinguished jurist back in his heme, safe and very greatly | benefited in health from the journey. Col. Jas. P'. Coburn, president of the First National bank, was the spokesman. When he had concluded Judge Furst re- rsponded and in the course of “his remarks gave a hurried, though delightful outline of his trip. In speaking of the. Paris Ex- position he said that ‘fit doesn’t compare with our own World's Pair”? oo BUSINESS MEN’s PIcNIc PRIVILEGES. — Bids for the various stand privileges at Hecla park, August 30th, accoun® of the Business Men’s Picnic will be received by the passenger department of the Central R.

He is in his 74th year and seemed to be in his usual health up to: the time he sud- - denly began to totter and sink. Friends saved him from falling, but he soon “be- came unconscious in their arms and was carried to the home of Cornelius Karstet- ter, where physicians tried to restore him, but without avail.
