Paid after expiration of year............ The Democratic State Ticket. For Justice of the Supreme Court HARMAN YERKES, of Bucks County. For State Treasurer E. A. CORAY, of Luzerne County. Democratic County Ticket. For Prothonotary—M. 1. GARDNER. For District Attorney—N. B. SPANGLER. A Worthy Candidate. There is no question about the fitness for the position, of Mr. CORAY, the fusion candidate for State Treasurer. He has al- ready filled public places and bas proven himself one of the most honest and faith- ful representatives of the people ever chos- en. In no position occupied by him has he failed to do his full duty. He has done this often in the face of great opposition from the machine and in spite of the ap- peals of the party that made him its rep- resentative. Under all circumstances he could be counted upon to stand for the in- terests of the people. While in the Legis- lature his votes were always against job- bery and extravagance. His voice was al- ways heard against wrong legislation and had his own party, the Republican, heeded his warning its record of the past few years would not cover it with shame and threat- en it with defeat as it now does. Mr. CORAY isas much the Democratic candidate to-day as was Mr. PALM ten days ago. He has been placed upon the ticket in accordance with the rules of the party, and is entitled to the vote of every honest Democrat in the State. There may be those who will question the advisability of fusion but none can question the fitness of the candidate or the expendiency of his nom- ination and as the candidate is all right and the nomination satisfactory to the peo- ple there can be no excuse for any Demo- crat failing to give him honest support. ——We believe that every good citizen of the county is anxious to seethe very best men nominated fill the local county offices. If this belief is correct and the voters properly inform themselves there will be no question at all as to the size of the majority of Mr. M. I. GARDNER for Prothonotary. We have no word of criti- ¢ism or detraction for Mr. GARDNER'S com- petitor, Mr. M. McKinley. He is probably an honest, conscientions man and would do the hest in his power to properly fill the position he seeks. Unfortunately for him no comparison can be made between his fitness for the place and that of Mr. GARD- NER. Those best acquainted with him tell us that he is utterly unqualified to perform the duties of the place. Mr. GARDNER has filled the position for three years and he has filled it in a way that has satisfied everyone having any business with the county records. During the hundred years “$hat Centre county has been organized there has never been a Prothonotary who has given more universal satisfaction. To put in his place a man whose qualifications are questioned, for whose fitness no citizen will vouch, would be political foolishness of which we do not believe the citizens of Centre countylcapable. — Every good citizen has already made up his mind to go out and vote, but this is not all be should do. He owes it to him- self, to his State and to the bonesty of the elections in the future to take his neighbor with him and see that both his own and his neighbor’s ballot is cast for both the proposed amendments to the constitution. There is no denying the fact that the adop- tion of these amendments are of far greater importance to the welfare of the State than is the election of any man and he is indeed a poor citizen who either fails or forgets to give them his support. e————— —The fact that some one had their phone down when Justice POTTER was be- traying Supreme court secrets to Governor STONE does not militate against the gross culpability of the act. He might have had some satisfaction—and probably more se- crecy—had he yelled ‘Rubber!’ before he began to talk. S————— World’s Wheat Crop. Indications are that the one of 1901 is Greater than for Two Years. WASHINGTON, Oct. 13.—The Depart- ment of Agriculture announces that three months’ estimates of the world’s wheat crop of 1901 so far made agree that the crop is larger than that of either of the two pre- ceding years. The estimates are: Hun- garian ministry of agriculture, 2,261,360,- 000 bushels of sixty pounds; Beerboehm’s corn list of London, 2,711,600,000 bushels of sixty pounds, and Bulletin des Halles of Paris, 2,790,310,000 Winchester bushels. Our department withholds its opinion as to the degree in which the world’s crop has been approximated in any of these esti- mates until a considerably larger number of official returns are available. The official Hungarian estimate says the crop exceeds last year's by 209,881,000 bushels of sixty pounds, or by 212,430,000 Winchester bushels. According to Beer- boehm the excess over last year’s orop is 200,000 bushels of sixty pounds and ac- cording to the Bulletin des Halles the excess is 136,777,000 Winchester bushels. The principal increase is credited to the United States, Canada and India, though other sources are credited with lower crops than they bad in 1900. Czolgosz, the Assassin. He Hasn't intimated He,Was Going to Commit Suicide Eats Well and Health is Good. Expresses No Fear as to Electrocution, but Says He Would Not Like to go Outside the Prison as the People Might Kil, Him. Fruits and Flowers Sent Him. AuBURN, N. Y., October 14.—*‘‘Abso- lutely nothing new with Czolgosz,”’ was Warden Mead’s reply to a query of an As- sociated Press reporter today. The con- demned assassin has not asked for any spiritual adviser whatsoever. The death warrant has not heen read to him as yet. He has not given the least intimation that he would like to make away with himself, contrary reports notwithstanding. Of course he will not be given the slightest opportunity for this purpose. He ate heart- ily of his breakfast this morning and has not a complaint about his health. Ward- en Mead’s greatest puzzle is how to get the hundreds of applications from all parts of the country cut down to the limit pre- scribed by the state laws. ALBANY, N.Y., October 14.—Superin- tendent Cornelius V. Collins, will send a request to Secretary of State Hay to desig- nate an official representative of govern- ment to be present at the electrocution of Leon F. Czolgosz, the murderer of Presi- dent McKinley. Only twenty six wit- nesses will be present in the chamber of death when the sentence is executed. Warden Mead, of Auburn prison, has sent to Superintendent Collins the requests he bas received for permission to attend the electrocution, over 1,000 in all. The law will limit the number of witnesses and the superintendent will decide who the wit- nesses will be. It was stated at the state department of prisons today that Czolgosz has expressed no fear as to the electrocution, but he has said that he would not care to go outside the prision for he believes that the people would kill him. Since his confinement in Auburn prison several thousand letters have been received for him at the prison as well asa large number of express packages containing flowers and fruit. The letters, flowers or fruit have never reach the condemned man. The flowers and fruit, it is learned, have been sent by Christian societies, as have a number of letters consoling him in his last moments. Other letters have come from cranks, who have written about the species of torture to which they would put him it they had the execution of justice in his case. It is stated, however, that it would be a matter of surprise if the names of senders of fruit and flowers were made public. The state prison department has pursued a uniform policy in regard to Czolgosz that is to prevent the murderer from gaining any notoriety while awaiting death and to surround him by as perfect an isolation from the world as possible. S—— Bostock Still Leads. The olosing days of the great Pan- American exposition are now rapidly ap- proaching and Bostock’s is still the leading feature of the mighty Midway. New fea- tures are being constantly added to the great zoological arena. Those who have visited this famous animal institution earlier in the season will find an almost complete change of program DOW. of course, the great acts of Cap’t. Jack _Bonavita in the huge arena with his twen- ty-seven immense lions,and Madame Marie Louise Morelli with her snarling leopards, jagnars and panthers, are retained, but ‘they are always very thrilling, and people watch them over and over again with the same intense interest. In these days of large crowds at the Pan-American the Bostock show has a crowd all the time packing the great ampi-theatre which seats 5,000 people, and seats are always at a premium, but the features in the great animal temple are many and marvelous. Among the new numbers to entertain the public is Herr Dresdach and his world- famous group of trained bears, which re- cently arrived from Europe. Aside from his great feats with wild animals, Dres- dach is also a man of extraordinary physical ability. His celebrated troupe consists of five different species; the monster Nennock or Polar bear, the black bear from Thibet, the grizzly bear of North America, - the giant Kadiak from Alaska,and the Russian bear from Siberia. Such a collection as this was never before brought together and surely never before trained. Their clever performance includes the most difficult feats ever accomplished. The climax of this wonderful performance is reached, however, when each end of a huge balance is loaded with a monster bear, while a third one mounts a pedestal in the center, and the entire group is lifted from the ground by the trainer, and carried several times about the steel-bound arena. The com- bined weight of these animals is over 2,000 pounds. Another big feature is Senor Arnoldo and his group of leopards, panthers and pumas. These animals are trained to pre- sent the most interesting tableaux. They perform the most difficult feats that have ever been attempted, even by brutes of a higher order and of a more docile temper- ment. The Senor handles them in a most affectionate manner. He places a leopard about his neck and carries it around the huge arena as one would an infant. This is without doubt the most sensational, blood-cardling and thrilling exhibition that has ever been presented, and a scene destined to remain long in the minds of those who are fortunate enough to wit: ness it. !

The first offering intervals thereatter until March. Course tickets will be sold - at the low price of $1 and agents are now at work canvassing the town. The attractions are strictly first class and of such a character as to cater to every taste, and merit the patronage of the pub- lic. a WiLL HAVE A FINE STORE.—It is not often that young men embarking in busi- ness give such evidence of immediate suc- cess as Sim the Clothier presents to the public in the aunouncement that he has rented the big rooms in Temple Court to be vacated on November 1st, by Samuel Lewin. In the short period of eighteen months Sim’s business has grown far beyond the room hestarted in in Reynolds’ bank build- ing, so he will close it and move to the more commodions quarters next door. There must be something to cause this phenomenal business growth, for you know people don’t buy things they don’t want, nor do they buy where they are not satis- fied or treated fair. These are very likely the reasons that Sim the Clothier has to move from the small room in which he started. > INTER-COUNTY EDUCATIONAL CONFER- ENCE.—AS$ Philipsburg, November 1st and 2nd, the educators of Centre, Clea rfield, and adjoining counties will hold a confer- ence and round table to discuss the prom- inent educational questions of the day. These conferences have in recent years be- J-come an important feature in the profes- sion of teaching in different parts of the State, and the coming one promises to be one of unusual interest, inasmuch as many of the leading teachers are giving ib their heartiest support, and have given their assurance of being present and taking part in the discussions. Few towns are better located or better adapted than Philipsburg for an education- al ineeting. Its magnificent school build- ing and the liberal manner in which the schools are supplied with all the requisites to successful teaching is sufficient evidence of the interest taken by the people of Phil- jpsburg in their schools, an interest that is probably not surpassed by any similar community in the State. The town is easily reached by rail from every direction and visitors can attend the three sessions of the conference Friday evening and Satur- day forenoon and afternoon and get away in time to reach their homes anywhere within a fifty or a hundred mile radius. The invitation to attend is general. Teachers, no matter in what grade they teach, are requested to be present. Direot- ors are urged to go, and parents will find the sessions interesting, and by attending will get into closer touch with the school work of the present day. Positively, this meeting promises to mark an epoch in local educational meet- ting. wrist were severed.

He had lived long in that community and though way past the al- Jotted time of man there was genuine sor- row when he died, for Squire Campbell was a great man, so useful and helpful to all about him that he enjoyed to an extra- ordinary extent the confidence of those with whom he came in contact. As an evidence of theinfluence heswayed it need only he stated that for years he was elected in that heavy Republican precinet, not- withstanding he was always a staunch Democrat.

'Squire Campbell was a man whose life might be emulated by many. Frank and fair in all his dealings with men his pass- ing is a loss to that community that was unmistakably manifest in the crowd that was present to pay a last tribute when his remains were laid away in the family burying grounds on the Campbell farm on Tuesday morning. I I i A DEAR LITTLE CHILD.—The unexpect- ed death of Malcolm Seibert, the eight year old son of Mr. and Mrs. James D. Seibert, on Monday evening at 6 o’clock, caused sorrow to many outside his home circle, for he was a dear little fellow, with a lovable disposition and an active mind. He had been ill for more than a week with diphtheria but was improving as well as could be expected until Monday afternoon. Then his heart, which had never been nor- mal, refused to act and his bright, earnest ‘|'eyes were closed by the sleep called death. He was an unusual child and no one who knew him, even though not emotional or given to imagination, was surprised that he said to his mother when she asked him if he was afraid to die: ‘‘No, mamma, what would I be afraid of, nothing will harm me. I just wish God, would come and take me in: his arms up to Heaven.” And being assured that he would, he said: “D’li see lots of people up: there I know, uncle Manuel and Maud Houser.” © Mean- ing thereby Emanuel Markle, who was buried from the Seibert home not long ago, and Mrs. Joe Beck, whose ‘death occurred in March, and, who was always a favorite of his.

SR THE FORGER CAUGHT.—Last week the WATCHMAN told ‘the ‘fall 28tory’ of how some unknown forger had succeeded in raising money by signing names of well known Ferguson township farmers to checks. He worked manager Cusner of Finberg’s store at State College with a check for $35.25 drawn to Ward Daughenbach by “Willie E. Meek.” He got a gold watch and $20.25 in cash for it and disappeared. Next day he bobbed up in Tyrone with a check drawn to Linn Archey aud signed by “David George Meek.” It was for $35.50 and he presented it at Walton and Acklins’ jewelry store, where he had bought an- other watch and wanted the difference in cash. They became suspicious and went to the bank to see about the check when the young fellow disappeared. On Wed- nesday of last week another check made payable to a man named Wilson and signed by Mr. Black turned up at State College. 1t was for $36 and W. L. Foster cashed it. Notwithstanding the frequency with which the trick was worked the authorities seemed utterly at a loss to discover the cal- prit until last Saturday, when a young man answering the description published in the WATCHMAN on the previous day to a “1.” turned up at Baileyville. Word was immediately phoned to State College and constable Slagel was sent after him. The officer was not long in making the ar- rest. The prisoner turned out to be Harry Shuey, who bad been working on the farm for J. B. Goheen. Though he had always born a good reputation and it was thought that a mistake had certainly been made, he promptly confessed his guilt and gave up the watch and part of the money. Con- stable Siagel brought his prisoner to jail in this place, where he will probably re- main until the November court. His par- ents reside in Tyrone. A BIRTHDAY ANNIVERSARY. — The neighbors and relatives of A.J. McClin- tick Esq., of Lamar, Clinton Co., gave that gentleman a surprise on Tuesday the 15th inst., which will be long and pleasantly remembered by him. On Monday he was invited to go to How- ard and remained there over night, on his return the following morning he found his home 1n the possession of about seventy- five of his friends and neighbors, who had brate his 73rd birthday, nor did these good people come empty handed, for after boxes and baskets had been opened there was found enough substantial provision, besides dainty dishes of all kinds, to supply a small army, and in addition Mr. McClin- tick was the recipient of many beautiful and appropriate presents. The day was most delightfully spent in music, games and sweet converse and in the evening, after partaking of a bounteous the visitors retired to their homes, and it was the wish of everyone that the hospitable host might be spared to enjoy many more such occasions. BR by previous arrangement assembled to cele- | AN Avuspicious WEDDING.—By far the most important and interesting social event of the week was the marriage of Miss J essie Laurie, daughter of Rev. Dr. and Mrs. William Laurie, and Samuel F. Eldredge, of Cape May, N. J., which took place last evening, at the home of the bride’s parents on Spring street. Nothing possesses the at- tractions for the average man or woman, whether socially inclined or not, that a wedding does. And if the bride and groom are special favorites the interest in the wedding is manifestly increased. Green and white were the colors used in the decorations and the roomy old Presby- terian manse was beautified with ferns and palms and roses. At the wedding proper, though, only the more intimate friends were present. The cezemony took place at five o'clock and was pronounced by the bride's father, Rev. Dr. Laurie, who has been pastor of the Presbyterian church here for more than twenty years. The wedding march from Lohengrin was play- ed by Mrs. J. Malcom Laurie, as the bridal party entered the reception room. Pretty little Janet Potter was flower girl. Miss Bertha Laurie, the bride’s sister, was maid of honor, and Ralph Cammings, of Cape May, the groom’s cousin, was best man. The bride was given away by her cousin, J. Malcolm Laurie, and she was ideally beautiful. Her gown was of white point ‘d’esprit over white taffeta and she carried bride’s roses. When she appeared more than one of the guests were reminded of Tennyson's daughter of the gods, for she is tall and very fair. The maid of honor, who is also a good looking girl cf the bonny Scotch type, wore a girlish gown of white silk batiste trimmed with green liberty satin. The little flower girl, fair as a lily herself, was dressed in white dotted swiss with a green sash and carried Kaiserene roses. Directly after the ceremony a supper was served by Ceaders and from seven until eight-thirty an informal reception was held which was attended by a number of young people and nearly every member.of Dr. Laurie’s congregation. The general air of festivity developed into merriment when Mr. and Mrs. Eldredge left on the 8:32 train for Norfolk and they departed amid a shower of rice and other tokens of good will. Mr. and Mrs. Eldredge will make their home at Cape May, where Mr. Eldredge is well established as a young lawyer. He was. prepared for.college at the Academy here and his bride was one of his classmates. She afterwards studied at Mt. Holyoke and .is cultivated and bright, as well as prepos- sessing and affable. Among the guests from a distance were the groom’s father and mother, Captain and Mrs. Eldredge, Bolton Eldredge and Miss Clementine Eldredge, ‘all of Cape May ; Mr. and Mrs. Foster, of Norfolk, Va.; Mrs. S. T. Pendleton and. Miss Rinehart, of Philadelphia; Mrs: J. E.. Horm, of Phil- ipsburg ; Miss Mayde Smith, Miss Helen Landis, Hollidaysburg; Miss Ann Shaffuer, Philadelphia, and Mrs. John Porter Lyon, of Penna. Furnace. eee eee AAA rr. WEDDING BELLS AT PORT MATILDA— One of the most brilliant social events of the season took place at Port Matilda on Thursday evening, Oct. 10th at half-past five o'clock at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. A. W. Reese. The occasion being the marriage of their danghter Grace to Mr. John M. Williams. Mauy invitations were issued and the high esteem in which the young people are held was manifest by the number who responded in person. Guests to the number of about one hundred were present and all enjoyed the evening to the fullest extent. The wedding march was played by Miss Edith Williams, sister of the groom, who was escorted to the organ by Mr. Wilbur Woodring. To the strains of Lohengrin, so gracefully rendered, the bride entered the parlor attended by Miss Anna East- man, of Curwensville, Pa. Miss Kate Reese, sister of the bride, and Miss Florence Williams, sister of the groom. When near the bridal arch they were met by the groom, who was attended by Mr. Archie Wood ring, of Bloomsburg, Pa. The bride and groom took their places in the center of the bridal arch, when the words were spoken which united them in the holy bonds of wedlock. The ring ceremony was used, which is a symbol of their pure and changeless affection. The ceremony was performed by Rev. J. T. Soott, of the Presbyterian church, assisted by Rev. E. S. Latshaw, of the Methodist church. The bride wore cream etamie, trimmed with cream satin and applique and carried a boquet of white roses. The groom was attired in the conventional black, The parlor was handsomely decorated with vines, autumn leaves and daisies. After the newly married couple had received the hearty congratulations of all present, we were ushered into the dining room, where dinner was served and where all the del- icacies and tempting dishes of the season were spread before us and to which we all did ample justice. The bride received many beautiful and costly presents. The bridal party left amid showers of rice on the 7:47 train for Buffalo, where they will spend their honeymoon, after which they will return to Port Matilda where they will make their future home. Mr. Williams is the popular young miller of Port Matilda and a young man of excel- lent character, while his bride, who is a daughter of A. W. Reese, the well-known merchant, isa young lady in: everyway calculated to make home happy. Our best wishes and congratulations go with them. * emit |} 4 ~The Missouri Girl” at Garman’s next Tuesday night, Oct. 22nd.
