Montgomery laid on top of a radiator in J. M. Keichline’s office in the Garman block, Saturday morning, rolled off and was un- noticed until it had set fire to the floor.

She can be fonnd at the Bell telephone ex- change. ——The diphtheria scare in Bush Addi- tion has not found the Spring township school board napping. They are active, alert men, awake to the duties of their of- fice and they have organized a Board of Health, with a fall complement of officers. Toe Board 1s doing everything in its power to prevent a spread of the disense. Really there is no cause for general alarm, as the cases are not very malignant. All are under strict quarantine now and are receiving the best possible medical attention. For THE HoLIDAYS.—Many of our readers contemplate making some pur- chase, at least, during the holiday season and to those who have in view the expen- diture of any money at all it is but a word chant who advertises. We want to call particular attention to the representative firms who are using thie edition of the WATCHMAN to tell you of their offerings for the Hboliday season. Almost every branch of trade is represented and any statement you see made in this issue will be fully borne out by the facts. In dry goods lines there are the Lyons, Racket and Joseph Bros.’ stoces ; three of as fine establishments as can be found in any town of this size in the State. In fact many of the smaller cities would be proud of places half as complete. The ‘Fauble, Montgomery, Leiberman and Sim the Clothier stores, embrace a quartet of clothing emporiums that are nothing short of marvelous. They are the wonder of everyone who sees them, because they are socomplete in every detail. Neith- er Wanamaker, nor Jacob Reeds Sons, nor Yates could suit yon a whit more fashion- ably, in better taste or in better clothes, than several of these firms can do and the prices at home are even more suitable to your purse than youn would find elsewhere. Bellefonte has always been noted for its grocery stores and pre-eminent among them are the reliable Sechler & Co. and the rising young firm of Harper Bros. In both of these stores you can find anything you desire in the grocery line and when you get it at Sechler’s or Harper’s you can rest assured that it is all right. The way these stores are kept and stocked is an evi- dence of the progress of their managers. Visit them and see, for yourself, what real, first class grcceries are. Then there are the two monster furni- ture stores, Brachbill’s and Naginey’s, where you can get anything from a clothes pole to a mahogany dining room set. Brachbill is making a special run on wick- er chairs for the Christmas trade, - while Naginey advertises special prices on Morris chairs and ladies dressing tables. Juicy meats, sausages, fat turkeys, ducks and chickens, all ready for the broiler, can be had at either Beezer’s or Gettig and Kreamer’s butcher shops. You will find | prompt, courteous treatment at both places and have no reason to regret going there. If it is something for your feet you are after there is the Powers Shoe Co., where the famous “‘Walkovers’’ are to be had. The theatrical people endorse the ‘‘Walk- over’’ and that ought to bea gnarantee to everyone of its style and its wearing quali- ties for long tramps. For the sweet-meats, toys, candies, nuts, ices and cakes specially designed for Christ- mas Ceaders’ is the place to go, for there you will find the best. Now few people think: of looking in ata drug store for Holiday novelties, vet you will be sur- prised when youn drop into Green's to see the many pretty and useful things to he found there. And you should bear in mind, throughout the entire year, that drugs and toilet articles, to be of any use, must be good and you will always find the good kinds at Green’s. The Cruse tobacco store is taking on a Holiday appearance too. The fine pipes and special boxes of imported and domestic cigars are affording for many people who have friends who are smokers. In the jewelry, silver and leather novelty line nothing could be more attractive than the displays being made by the Richards Sons and F. P. Blair & Co. They both have specialties for the season and staple articles for all the year round. At Schofield’s—now you would think a harness shop a strange place to go fora Christmas present—but, after all, what could be nicer than a good robe or a home- made set of harness to present to a friend who has a horse. Then there is the great Potter & Hoy hardware store, where a knife for the boy, scissors for the wife or daughter, or a pair of skates could be got- winter and skates will come in jas sigh. Potter & Hoy have them. Of couse you wouldn’t think of giving anyone a self-binding harvester or a bag of phosphate for Christmas but-McCalmont & Co. have lots “of other things that you could make most any one happy with. Sleds, guns, bicyeles, for instance. Then there is Harvey Miller, the tinner, who ‘would sell you a beautiful stove so cheap that you would wonder why you didn’t throw the old one out long before you were half frozen trying to keep warm beside it or your good wife's patience was all gone ‘trying to cook on it. And after you have gone the rounds of everything else and recall that in all the pleasure and good cheer of the Holiday season. you have not had a moment’s thought for the poor old man or woman who lives ‘‘up on the other street’’ your | conscience does well to smite you. Bat you are only human and human nature, to say the least, is selfish. You'll come out all right, however, if you'll wind up by wanting to send them something. Let us tell you what to do. Call up the Pheenix Mills or E. K. Rhoads and order a sack of flour or a ton of coal for your poor friend. There will be more of the real Christmas idea in that and more happiness for yon than all else.’ Try it. Pass imaih —The Citizens Fire Co., of Tyrone; celebrated on Monday night with a ban- quet and a general frolic, hecause the en- tire debt of the organization bas been lifted.

CL —— ——The WATCHMAN costs only $1 a year, when paid for in advance, it contains more reading matter than any other paper in Centre county, is progressive and always reliable. Tell your friends that it costs only $1 per year. nti ——There will likely be a crowded house at Garman’'s, next Monday night, when “The Doctor’s Warm Reception’ will be seen, because institute will be in session and many of the teachers will take ad- vantage of the only night off they will have during the week, to see a show. eb ——The 1901 calendar of C. Y. Wagner, the Roopsburg miller, is very suggestive of the business. The central design is a pic- ture of an old time water mill, to which a man on horseback is wending his way with a bag of grist. Immediately below are shown the various stages of flour, from the grain field to the mill. — oe ——The Goldsmith Bros., of Seranton, formerly proprietors of the Bee Hive stores in this place, are among the largest credit- ors of Judge Peter P. Smith, of the Supe- rior court. It was to them that Judge Smith wrote, stating his inability to pay certain notes held by them. A petition in bankruptcy was then filed. > 9e ——The State Forestry Association met | in Philadelphia on Monday and among other business elected Prof. Wm. A. Buck hout, of State College, as a representative in the council. Certain it is that no man ed with the conditions in this section could have been selected to represent Centre county than Prof. Buckhout. He is adapted, both by learning and personality, to make an intelligent and dignified member of the council. — Oe me — The Walker timber tract in Miles township, variously estimated to contain between 6,000,000 and 7,000,000 feet of lumber, was sold last Thursday to Levi Sparr, president of the Farmer's bank of Williamsburg. It is a virgin forest of hem- lock and pine and has long been the envy of Inmberman. The price was not made public but it is supposed to he somewhere in. the neighborhood of $20,000. Mr. Sparr is a relative of the Boalsburg family of that name and is a member of the lum- ber firm of Sparr & Sliker. EE : ——A report of a bit of willful malicious- that some person, with about as much brains as might bavé been found in the head of the match he probably used, set fire to a load of bay that was standing on the street in front of the Swan hotel in that place. The hay was owned by a farmer. who hadspent two days in haul- ing it to warket in Philipsburg and that the devilish ‘act of some one should have occasioned him such a loss is a mat- ter that the authorities of that town might well look into, that the offender be punish- ed, as he so richly deserves, — *oe ——Newell A.

Some time before his death he realized the necessity of look- ing to. God for aid and comfort which he obtained by‘ trusting in ‘Jesus as his” Saviour. His remains were laid away in the cemetery near Curtin’s on the 9th; inst., Rev. J. Zeigler, officiating. The sadly bereaved family: share the deepest: sympathy of the many friends in attend- ance. : SEA Pa ——At the last meeting of the directors of the Y. M. C. A., held Monday evening, it was decided that in the future all beys under sixteen years of age and those known to be students at the various schools will be forbidden the use of the rooms after 8 o’clock on all nights, except Satmiday. This action was deemed necessary beeause there has been considerable deception prac- ticed on parents, by boys who have not hesitated to shield themselves behind the Y. M. C. A. Staying out uutil late at night some have heen in the habit of going home with the statement that they were spending their time at the Association. This action of thé hoard will put'a stop to such duplicity. ge Isaac HARPSTER TO THE FRONT. —Our old friend Isaac Harpster, of Gatesburg, takes rank with the big hog raisers aud his rank is away up iu front. He recently butchered three, that were 14 months old, yet they weighed 406, 447 and 454 Ts. re- spectively. Mr. Harpster’s Hogs weight are the more remarkable when it is known that they re ceived no extra care during the summer. They were of the Poland China and Ches- ter-white, mixed. JUMPING SAVED ONE 8 BUT KILLED THE OTHER. —Iigen IT.

THE METHODIST CHURCH AT PHILIPS BURG REDEDICATED.—After expending $12,000 on repairs to their church property the Methodists of Philipsburg reconsecrat- ed it tothe service of God on Sunday. It proved a glorious day in the history of Methodism in that town and praise aeet- ings are being continued all this week in thanksgiving for the manifold blessings that were showered on the church. Bishop Fowler was there and preached a powerful sermon from the text: ‘‘For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the Sons of God.”” The night sermon was preached by Rev. J. Ellis Bell, Pre- siding Elder of the district. He used for his text : “I am come that ye might have life, and that ye might have it more a- bundantly.”’ Two persons who contiibuted as much to the success of the day as any others were Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Powell, of Buffalo, N. Y. The latter touched the hearts of all with her sweet singing, while the former took upon himself the work of raising the $6,000 indebtedness. Aft the morning service he raised about $4,000 and and in the evening succeeded in clearing it up, with a nice little surplus for the purpose of painting and repairing the par- sonage. The remodeled church building is hand- some and luxurious. The plans of the architect, Charles M. Robinson, of Altoona, a former Philipsburger, were admirably conceived and faithfully executed. The building takes the shape of the maltese cross. It has two stories. The first story is divided into the Sabbath school rooms, the primary department being separated from the larger room by accordeon doors. The old central one door front entrance is abolished and the approaches to both the upper and lower stories are from either side, front. The main auditorium, which is all of the second story, is 74 by 62 feet, an extension of the old room by 14 by 45 feet. The stairways are 10 by 22 feet. The seating capacity of this main room is about 600. The seats are arranged in semi-circle pews, fastened to a slanting floor, the drop from the rear pews to the front ones being from 18 to 20 inches. This permits of an unobstructed view from any part of the house. The pulpit plat- form is encircled with railing, and the large choir platform is to the rear -of it. All this is finished in red oak. The windows are Romanesque, with fine designs of lead- ed glass. The central front window of the auditorium represents an angel, and under- neath it is a large window, the stained glass of which portrays Christ as holding a child in his arms. The painting is artistic. The house is heated throughout withs team, and brilliantly lighted with electricity. The building committee consisted of Messrs. C. T. Fryberger, J. B. Childs, W. C. Andrews, J. Edward Horne, I. V. Gray, A. W. Marks, Misses Ella Switzer and Laura Crissman. eee FELL THIRTY-FIVE FEET FROM A TELE- PHONE POLE.—Clyde Smith, a lineman for the Central Commercial Telephone Co., met with an accident, while working at ‘State College, on Friday afternoon, that resulted very seriously for him. He was working on the top of a thirty- five foot pole, a line of wires was. being changed, and Smith was sitting out on the cross arm when, without a moment's warn- ing, it broke off and he fell to the frozen ground. There was absolutely no way for him to save himself or break the force of the fall, so he struck the ground so hard as to make quite an indentation. The other workmen picked him up and carried him into the Experiment Station, near which the accident occurred. He was unconscious and Dr. Robinson found con- siderable difficulty in ascertaining just how badly he was injured, owing to the faet that he was in such a condition as to make a satisfactory examination impossi- ble. The jaw was dislocated, however, and the physician reduced that and then he was sent to his home in this place. Dr. Klump met the patient at the evening train and he was carried to the home of his brother, on west Thomas street, where he is slowly improving. day. His injuries have since developed to be only very painful contusions. Reports ‘yesterday were to the ‘effect that he could not possible be doing better than he is. : ————— ee QA rere KILLED "IN THE QUARRIES YESTER- pAY.—James Shawver was almost instant- ly killed about 10 o'clock yesterday motn- ing while at work in the big quarry at Morris’ Armor Gap operation.
