How to Get Good Township Officials. “ihe heaviest “burdens “of * taxation ‘are those imposed for local purposes. Almost eighty per cent of all the money that is raised and needed for. public nses .goes to maintain our public roads, our schools, our poor and our county pays assessors and other expenses: that can be: considered pure- ly local. It is this fact that adds to the mportance of spring elections. It is at these that officials who have charge of such matters our chosen, and so far as the matter of the amount of money he must pay as taxes is concerned the Febru- ary election is of more importance to the tax-payer than is the general election in the fall A sensible, discreet, up-to-date man on a school board, as a supervisor, or as over- seer of the poor, will do much to keep the schools, or the roads, or the poor of his district in the best condition for the very least amount of money. Good judgment in these matters will save many a dollar to the tax-payer, insure to the public the best that can be had, and services of which there will be little complaint... A man with a head for the business will make more and better 10ads with a hundred dol- lars than many. an other fellow would with two hundred. And so in any other official position. It is the man who is fitted for th place, knows what ought to be done—how to do it—and has the energy and independ- enceand interest to go ahead and do what he does right, who should be selected by both parties for their local positions and then, no matter which side wins, the people will have’ good ‘service from their public officials. . It is at the primaries, that will be held now within a very short time, that these local officials will be chosen. And it is in these that every tax-payer should take an interest. Then is when the work of mak- ing tickets is attended to. It is the most important duty connected with the elec- tion. Good men, named for official places by both parties, insure good officials at the election let whatever party may, win. A poor ticket named at the primaries insures a poor choiee at the election, no matter how many may come out to vote, or how much kicking and scratching is resorted to. - At the primaries you can take your choice from all the voters of your district. At the election your choice isnarrowed down to the few who may be upon the different tickets. It is at the primaries then that you can secure the best men for local places. Therefore every citizen should attend and see that only the best men are chosen. —Could it be possible that those new and strange illuminations that have been discovered on Mars within the past few days are the exultant demonstrations of the Marsians over the news that QUAY has organized the Pennsylvania Legislature. Boggs Township Not to be Divided. At a special election held in Boggs township on Tuesday to decide whether that township should be divided and anew 82 votes against the proposition. The in- tention was to start the dividing line at the northern boundary of the township, then run south and east so as to make up a new township from the eastern precinct and part of the northern, leaving the bal- ance in the old township. Viewers were appointed on a petion filed June 25th, 1900, as follows: S. D. Ray, A. A. Scheck and W. F. Hall. They re- ported in favor of a division of the town- ship. Dec. 3rd the court issued a decree directing a special election to be held on Jan. 8th, 1901. It resulted as follows: For Against North precinct. ..c.cceves oeeneesd 66 0 East precinct. 7 West precinct 223 230 1 Majority against division 82. — The BURLEIGH bill, which passed Congress on Tuesday, provides for the in- crease of the membership of the lower House fron: three hundred and fifty-seven members to three hundred and eighty-six. Just as if the country hasn’t about all the Crongressmen it knows what to do with now. Under this new bill, if the Senate concurs and the President approves, no State will lose any of its present represen- tation, bus some will gain. Pennsylvania will get two more. ——Mr. McKINLEY’s imperialistic idea, efforts and purposes, are just now under- going a period of innocuous 'desuetude. For the present he is wrestling with a grip that takes closer hold than he has on the straggling Filipinos, and that tends more strictly to the business it is after than do his invading armies. It is to be hoped, however, that the President’s illness may P | be of but ehors duration, and that when he does recover his ambition will turn to other ends than subjagating and holding a weak and helpless people. .

The list of dead as a result of the terrible con- flagration at the Rochester Orphan asylum Thursday morning reach a total of thirty. Two more of the unfortunate inmates died to-day. Allen Bell, aged 2, died early this morning at the city hospital. He was terribly burned about the head and upper part of the body. Miss Mary Brad, one of the nurses in the hoepital ward, the thir- tieth victim, died ‘at the Homceopathic hospital at 9 o’clock to-night. Miss Brad, when the alarm was given, hastily snatched up two of her little children suffering with diphtheria, but was overcome before reaching safety. Miss Brad was frightfully bruised all over the body and both of her charges died. . I ———————————— A Walking Fern. There is a fern which, by its peculiar habit of growth, .may almost just lay claim to the popular name of the “walk- ing fern.” The fronds arch over, and the fine, slender points coming in contact with the soil take root. New growth again pro- | ceeds from the latter, which, in its turn, roots also, so that the locale of the plant is continually moving forward and sug- gesting the idea of walking. ; This peculiar fern is quite hardy and succeeds well in a soil of peat, leaf mold and sand, in a shady position which is moist in summer and fairly dry in win ter. The fronds are heart shaped, bright green in color, 6 to 12 inches long.—Lon- don Globe. earl Willie’s Logic, Willie—Pa, ma says you're the head of the house. Is that so? Pa—1It is if she says so.

Pickering of the Harvard . astronomical observatory to- night. Wilfred Fonveille, of Paris, through the European edition of the New York Herald, declared that Professor Pick- ering had given notice to astronomers that a series of bright lights had been observed on the Icarium sea by Prof. A. E. Doug- lass at the Lowell observatory, in Flagstaff, Ariz. M. Fonveille said the nature of the lights, which had proceeded geometrically, indicated voluntary action, and gave color to the belief that Marsians had endeavored to attract the attention of the sister planet. Prof. Pickering said the only thing that could have suggested the idea was a tele- gram on December 8th from Flagstaff say- ing: ' “Mr. A. E. Douglass while observing the planet Mars on December 7th saw a projection on the north edge of Icarium Mare, which lasted 70 minutes.’’ Prof. Pickering said the Icarium Mare was one of the so-called seas observed on Mars, and a projection observed there would he an interesting occurrence if con- firmed. It would, he thought, be a very strained inference from the ‘‘projection’’ that it was a message or signal from inhab- tants of Mars. : ADDITIONAL LOCALS. ———A movement is on foot to reorganize the old Bellefonte Club. —— A — ——A.

No wonder the raral poetic instinct | turns impulsively to Maryville as a proper designation for sweet bucolic villages im- mersed in 'vet@ture and threaded hy parling silver streams, We do not wonder. there- fore, of the existence, of this particular Maryville or the presence there, as part of. the - population, of a Miss Jones. What we do wonder at, though, is the coinei- .denge that the . Miss Jones, in question, should be @ long, hollow school teacher. That one should. be long, under such mel- low, pastorial circumstauces, we lieve. Surrounded by trees, flowers, birds, fed ‘upon rich milk, fried eggs, yellow-leg- ged chickens, the toothsome. flapjack and the far-reaching syllabub, it is easy to grow long. ‘There are no midgets reared in the rural istriots of Missouri aud Tennessee. Under those bracing and productive infla- ences men and women alike attain great’ size and stature. Nor do we see why Mise Jones, or Miss Anybodyelse should not’ have undertaken the training of the youth- ful mind. Itisa gentle and most deserv- ing ocoupation, full of usefulness and hon- or. ‘The youthful mind of Maryville needs training, like the youthfal mind elsewhere, and who is more likely to be ‘conpetent. than a Jones, and a Miss Tda Jonesat that ? What we do not understand is that Mary- ville should have had a long, hollow school teacher. ‘We have never heard of such a thing before. fin 4 fp hee mh Still we wish the young couple every happiness in their now blended lives. John Lewis could not content himself with any other than a long, hollow’ school teacher as the partner of hissorrows and his joys, who, pray, has a right to criticise ? Maybe that is just the kind of a bride he wanted. Everybody doesn’t want a short, stuffed girl for his sweetheart. Tastes differ. Tt is all very well for the poet to sing : i 2 Man wants but little here below. Nor wants that little long. i Perhaps John Lewis is not a poet. Per- haps John Lewis knows his business. .

Musser, a well known farmer who resided about a mile and a quarter south of Belle- ‘fonte, in Spring township, died Monday morning about 4:30 o'clock, after an illness that had continued ever since last: spring. While attending the funeral of Mrs. Pratt he became overheated and later took cold, that resulted in the grip ; stomach troubles developed then and his health continued to fail until four months ago he was com- pelled to take his bed. He was born in Penns-valley 72 yeas ago. When only eight years old he moved, with his family, to this vicinity and has resided here ever since. He was first mar- ried to Miss Nancy Baird, of Bellefonte. She passed away about 20 years ago leaving him with three children : Frank W., of Shiloh ; Mrs. Eva Kirk, wife of Dr. M. A. Kirk, of this place, and Mrs. Carrie Rhine- smith, of Clearfield. Later he married Sara Jane Miiler, also of this place, and she also survives with the one daughter, Catharine, born to their union. Mr. Musser was essentially a farmer. His entire life was spent in the peaceful, profitable pursuit of agriculture. He was devoted to his home and in it was always all that a christian gentleman could be. sought no preferment at the hands of his party, though he did capably fill a number of township offices. Interment was made at 2 o’clock Wed- nesday afternoon in the Union cemetery. Rev. Dr. Laurie of the Presbyterian church, of which deceased was a member, officiated.

ANNUAL MEETING.—Thean- nual meeting of the stockholders of the Central Commercial Teleplione company was held in the offices of the company in Temple Court on Tuesday. The meet- ing attracted quite a number of gentlemen to town and the conditions developed were quite flattering to the new corporation. The following men were elected directors, namely, Ellis L. Orvis, Joln I. Olewine, F. E. Naginey, Harry Keller, John T. Mc- Cormick, William Thompson Jr., William Pealer, H. T. Harvey and T. M. Stevenson. The financial standing of the compauy was very encouraging. The company now has six exchanges in operation, with almost eight hundred ’phones, five hundred and eighty miles of copper aud iron wire, me- tallic circuit, eight thousand two hundred and ninety-two feet of cable, two hundred and twenty-three miles of poles. A large increase in ’phones is awaiting the com- pany’s capacity to place them, while sev- eral new important exchanges are in con- templation for the early spring. It is understood that when the newly elected directors meet they will declare 2% per cent. dividend on the stock: making the second semi-annual dividend of that amount. Inkaddition to this disbursement among the stockholders there will be about $10,000 net earnings to be set aside for im- provements. The showing of the Commercial is most, gratifying and reflects great credit on the business sagacity of the men who have been directing it. For the most part they were entirely unacquainted with the telephone business when the local organization was effected but by dint of hard work and con- stant investigation have proven themselves thoroughly competent to handle such busi- ness, fo Erik dais Those who were in attendance at the meeting were : E.

' A DEER STORY THAT 18 A DEER STORY. —Recently the Daily News published a deer.story that was sent out from the re- gion of Snow Shoe and, no doubt, there are lots of people who did not believe it: Bat if all had been personally acquainted. with the prowess of the principals in the story as deer slayers it would ‘have been accepted ‘as gospel. No finer gentleman ever lived, or truer sportsman, than the late Robert Haynes and if any one in Centre county can name a character who can beat Jobn Uzzle we'll make ib good: ~~ These are the two principals in the News’ story and on that account we believe it. John G. Uzzle, proprietor of the Wash- ington house, Snow Shoe, has a pair of deer antlers which have a history. The proud animal that wore them was shot by Robert Haynes in 1853, at Rolling Stone, ‘half; way between what was then known as Salt Lick and Battermilk, now Cataract and’ Belford, in the Susquehaura. ‘The pe- culiar part of its history is that the ani- mal was shot while swimming down the river with a small black and tan hound in his horns. Wash Wasson was the “‘start- er,’”’ and this was one of his hounds which had ventured too close to the buck and he promptly pinned. him through with his horns, and then, being unable to shake ‘him off, started for the river, where he was shot as above described. - The antlers are a magnificent specimen and the object: of ‘admiration by all hunters. "Mr. Uzzle was ‘one of the ‘‘watchers’” when the animal ‘was killed and is very proud of his relic, as it reminds him of ‘the good old days when deer were plénty and the mountains were a dark glen under the towering tim- ber before the woodmen had ‘robbed them of their beauty and splendor.
