Boers Make Their Escape. They Dare the Sharks and British Guns to Do It. HaMmILTON, Bermuda, July 23-—The Boer prisoners of war confined on Darrell’s Island make most mighty attempts to avoid the patroling gunboats Medina and Medway and get to the mainland by swimming. The water between Darrell’s Island and the beach is calm and all night long the gunboats sweep it with their search lights. Sharks abound, and the British guard will shoot on suspicion, yet several of the Boers have escaped from their detention camp. On the night of July 6th, H.J. Du- Toit, M. L. Louvents, J. P. DeBoux and J. G. DuPresse, Boer prisoners, evaded the guards and the sharks and reached the shore a half mile away by swimming. By daybreak they had reached the southern shore of the island. Here they approach- ed a negro man, asking food. He charged them with being Boer prisoners and they admitted it. The negro man at once in- formed the guards at Warwick camp and the fugitives were captured. : A night or two after three others tried to escape by paddling ashore on planks. They were seen, however, and fired on by the guards. One was wounded and re- turned to the island while the other two were caught. p—_} Mrs. Nation in Prison Cell. Vainly Knochod for Hours on fron Doors and Steel Bars. TopeKA, Kan., July 23.—Mrs. Carrie Nation, who is serving a jail sentence of thirty days for smashing private property in which a saloon was located, commenced operations on the county jail to-day,? but the big 1ron doors and the steel bars were too strong for her. She pounded on the cell door three hours, with the thermom- eter at 106, while sheriff Cook vainly ad- vised her to keep cool. The county commissioners and Gover- nor Stanley were appealed to to-day for re- mission of costs and pardon, but both were refused. Seventy-five Robbers Beheaded. CANTON, China, July.—A band of over forty armed robbers for three successive nights have been looting shops opposite Shateen. The Chinese authorities have * made no attempt to interfere. The Chi- nese themselves are alarmed and predict serious trouble. It is understood the for- eign consuls have been warned to prepare for an uprising. A magistrate of Shuntah reports that robbers are increasing in his district. Seventy-five robbers have been beheaded at Shertchaiy during the past two months. Jones on the Presidency. SEARCY, Ark., July 24—In a speech here to-day Senator James K. Jones ex- pressed the belief that the next President will be a Democrat. While he would cheerfully support D. B. Hill or any other man whom the Demo- crats might nominate, his present opinion is that the party might display wisdom in selecting some discreet jurist or now ob- seure business man, whose record is fault- less. : Senator Jones said no meeting of the Democratic national committee is likely to be held before Feb. 22nd, 1904.

The blockade delayed the evening passenger train an hour. SPO — Some animal pictures and some from still life exhibited at Atlantic City by Miss Annie Snyder, of Lock Haven, are creating a furor among artists there. The North American yesterday referred to her as a second Rosa Bonheur. ——e —— John Reeser, who is now in the butcher business with his father at Snow Shoe, is dickering for Abe Markle’s busi- ness place at the College, which was pur- chased by A. M. Brown and closed up sev- eral months ago. OO — Charles Douglas, aged about 20, suf- fered a compound fracture of the right arm at Scotia, on Tuesday morning, while catch- ing and coupling mine cars coming down the incline. He was sent to the Altoona hospital that day. He had the same posi- tion in which a man named Shuey lost a leg several months ago. tse AAA ee —— — John Burris, a representative of the Horse World of Buffalo, was in town yes- terday to look over the new fair grounds, stables and track and while here took a picture of Billy Howe, John M.

Billy is working out miles now quite a bit lower than 2:25. —Bellefonte’s young inventor, Edward McGarvey, recently published an article in the Scientific American on harmonic vi- brations in electrcity that was of sufficient importance to attract the attention of the electrical wizard Thomas Edison, who has written to Mr. McGarvey, complimenting him on his research and requesting a photo- graph. ll ——Commissioner’s clerk Boyd A. Mus- ser has shared the honor won some years ago by his predecessor, Robt. F.

EE eli "——Though it was entirely within their own ranks the 33rd anniversary ceremonies of Constans commandery, No. 43, K. T., in their asylum in this place Wednesday day evening, proved most delightful. The Knights and their ladies enjoyed every moment spent in the pleasant quarters of the commandery. re ——F. J.

Lead No SecoNp WEEK OF COURT.—In an- swer to a petition signed by all the lawyers at the bar Judge Love has just ruled that the second week of the August term of court will he dispensed with. Jurors and others summoned to appear at the second week will not need to do so. This means for the week beginning Sep- tember 2nd, or more commonly known as the civil week. ROMOLA. Miss Mamie DeLong, left last Tuesday to visit her sister, Mrs. Rodman, of Slate Run. Corporal Fred T. Tebbs and sister Florence, of Howard, attended the festival here last Saturday evening. Miss Gertrude Roberts and Miss Marietta La Van, both of Altoona, are spending a few days in our community as the guests of Miss Alta Robb. There was quite a large crowd at the festi- val last Saturday evening. About $52 were taken in. The expenses amounted to $22. Rev. Lewis Robb, formerly of this place, but who for a, number of years has been pas- tor of the Reformed church of Altoona, preached here last Sunday. : We wish to correct a slight mistake made in last week’s Romola items. The gentle- man from Farmer’s Mills who called on Miss Mamie DeLong, was Harry Hagan instead of Paul, as was stated. Pine Grove Mention. On account of a badly cut foot little Panl Musser is on crutches. The largest cherry crop ever known is about over. Bushels rotted on the trees. Mrs. James Reed, of Shingletown, enjoyed an early morning drive to our town Tuesday. Jasper Rishel, with his family, spent Sun- day at the home of his brother-in-law on Main street. Walter Shutt and wife and little son were entertained at farmer Stine Walker’s branch home recently. Jacob R. Rider and family and Levi Gar- ner, of Gatesburg, spent Tuesday sight seeing in and about our town. Mrs. J. B. and Mrs. J. G. Heberling and little Ralph are up at Altoona for a week’s stay among their legion of friends. Mr. and Mrs. Frank Wieland, of Linden Hall, spent the first day of the week at Squire Miller's home in the Glades. The prospects for an apple crop in this sec- tion are not favorable owing to the trees shed- ding their crop too early. The shrill whistle of the steam thresher is heard on all sides hulling out the golden grain in order to make room for the crops. John Fortney and wife, cheery as when first married, came up from Boalsburg in their brand splinter new buggy to spend a day at the Dannley home. Supt. Thomas, with a corps of engineers, is lining up the new extension rail road west of this place on which grading is to be begun at once. Mr, and Mrs. D. J. Johnson attended the funeral of Mrs. Albert Myerly who died on the 18th inst of catarrh of the stomach and was buried on the 20th in the morning. The recent rains have retarded our farm- ers from getting the grain into the barns. Much of it is in bad condition. Oats will be an average crop. Barley is the poorest in years. Rev. Thomas (\. Houtz A. M. professor of english language and literature, is spending his vacation among: friends here. He is look- ing well though his whiskers are silvered and his pate is as bald as ours. Postmaster J. W. Stuart, of State College, was circulating round last week inspecting the wheat crop with a view of entering the Bull ring. He reports an untold amount of inferior wheat, with a mixture of cheat and rye. On last Monday while grand mother Mary Gates was descending the attic stairs her foot caught, causing an ugly fall that landed the old lady at the foot of the stairs. At first it was feared her injuries were serious, but she is now much better. The almost new and cosy home of William Brouse in the lower end of town is completed and the fatted calf is ready for the flitting dinner, next Tuesday. They are retired farmers and are coming to town to rest,which they so well deserve. The young peach orchard on the Levi a eye, eee r—/] ™ ™ ™/ ™/ ™/™/ ™ Krebs farm just west of town is ladened with choice fruit. From present appearances a thousand or twelve hundred bushels will be realized. Many of them will be ready for the market by August 20th. Mrs. Viola Smith, of this town, accompa- nied by her two cousins, Miss May Rhone, of Centre Hall, and Miss Edith Sankey, of Pot- ters Mills, started for Buffalo last Monday morning. They are a happy trio and are go- ing with optics and not goo goo eyes. Madisonburg. Miss Minerva IHerlacher has returned home after spending a week at this place. Mrs. Al Bartges, of Aaronsburg, visited her cousin Mr. Caris the beginning of the week. E. S. Shaffer has returned home to spend his vacation. Mr. Shaffer is taking a busi- ness course at Lewisburg. Mr. and Mrs. Irvin Hazel, from Lock Hav- en, spent Sunday with his parents Mr. and Mrs. Wilson Hazel. Our county papers made a slight mistake in publishing the age of Mr. George Shaffer. He was 89 years instead of 87. Mrs. Smith, accompanied by her grand- father, Mr. Confer, of Sober, spent a short time with relatives this week. The buggy wheel which so mysteriously disappeared some time ago has not yet been found, to the sad disappointment of some Saturday night visitors. Mrs. Zehner, wife of a former minister of this county, is visiting her sister Mrs. Jacob Kern. She has many acquaintances here, as she was raised at this place. The wheat crop is mostly all gathered in the barns for this year again. The yield of straw seems to be good, but does not seem to be filled any too well. Threshing com- menced in this vicinity on Monday. Our people, excepting a few, have their side walks through town in good repair. We think those few should take enough in- terest and do the necessary repairing, as it would greatly add to the appearance of the town.
