Pine Grove Mention. Paul Bailey, of Altoona, is home for a few days. Mine host, Reed Randolph and wife, of the St. Elmo, visited their old home in Stone val- ley Monday. Walter McCormick has been recreating with friends in Pittsburg and Butler county, this week. Robert Ward and family drove up from Bellefonte Sunday and enjoyed the day with relatives here. Quite a number of our people attended Rev. Lescher’s sale on Saturday. Everything was sold at top prices. Miss Mary Woods has been visiting her uncle, Senator Cyrus Woods, at Irvin, in Westmoreland county. Mrs. Nancy Craig, of State College, jolly and brisk as ever, spent Sunday with old neighbors in this town. Hon. John T. McCormick was among the friends who attended the funeral of Miss Nancy Pearce, at Potter’s Mills on Tuesday. Mrs. Mamie Shaw, of State College, and her cousin Miss Moore, of Centre Hall, are visiting friends here and at Baileyville this week. Mrs. Robert McClellan, of Linden Hall, and Mrs. Charley McClellan, of Millheim, enjoyed the hospitality of the Frantz home on Saturday. After an all summer’s stay at Medina O.. where he was doing fancy painting, Charley Smith is home to look after his business in- terests here. : S. M. Bell, the hustling store and hardware dealer of Boalsburg, with his right bower, Ceorge Tressler, were looking up trade in this section this week. Our base ball boys have a festival billed for next Saturday e vening in this place. The boys expect to have a full line of supplies on hand and refreshments of all kinds. Joe Hess, who went West to seek his for- tune last spring, fell a victim to appendicitis from which he is slowly recovering at his fath- er’s home in the Glades. . L. H. Osman who was appointed mail car- rier for route number one of the new rural mail delivery has already handed in his resignation. Frank Weaver and Arthur Evey are applicants for the vacancy. On Tuesday Mrs. John D. Dannley with her four interesting little children arrived here from Medina, Ohio to spend a month at grandmother Dannley’s. There the young- sters are having a rollicking good time. Our hustling carriage maker, H. M. Krebs with his wife and little daughter,Lucy, spent last week among relatives in Milton and Northumberland, where his brother, Dr. J. Baker Krebs, is doing a good dental business. Hon. Leonard Rhone, who was the orator of the day at the Grangers picnic in Half- moon last Saturday stopped here on his way over the barrens and spent the night with postmaster Hess. Mrs. Rhone accompanied him. Ex-postmaster James Lytle, of Lemont, purchased the Orlady farm, one of the brag farms of Penns valley last week. After the first of April Mr. Lytle will devote his time to growing fancy stock and big pumpkins for the Centre county fair. There were not many persons from this end of the road in attendance at the Logan picnic at Hunter's park on Wednesday. Our bail team was defeated by a narrow margin and the poor attendance was owing to the incle- ment weather. Mr. George Gardner, who represents a hig electrical establishment in Pittsburg is spend- ing his vacation with his mother at the old Gardner homestead in the Glades. He isin such prime condition that surely some one must be taking special care of him. On Saturday afternoon the State College Crescents came over to play our Junior team on the Bailey field and were defeated by a score of 23 to 3. At the same hour the Bailey- ville team met tle College team on Beaver field and had the ginger taken out of them by a score of 23 to 6. On Saturday J. B, Heberling purchased from Will McNitt over in Stone valley a spanking team of black horses. They are perfect matches. They have white faces and white legs below the knees and are perfect beauties. Mr. Heberling is to be congratulat- ed on his purchase which was sanctioned by Mr. Brown, A party of huckleberry pickers found Mr. Tressler’s pocket book up on the mountain back of town on Wednesday morning. 1t was stolen from his safe at the time of the mill robbery, and from the point at which it was found the burglars evidently went over the mountain. Samuel A. Dunlap was the lucky finder and, though the wallet contained most of the papers that were in it, the cash had all been removed. At a meeting of the school board on Saturday the following vacancies were filled. Charles Moore was elected teacher of the Branch school and Bruce Harrison teacher of the Pine Hall school. As they are both ex- perienced teachers no comment need be made. J.C. Durham, of Watsontown and a graduate of Bucknell University was elected to the principalship of the Pine Grove High school. Mr. Durbam comes highly recom- mended and the patrons of the school feel as though the scholars will be in safe and competent hands. Several weeks ago A. H. Hartswick missed his hunting dog, Ginger. During the absence of the family the dog disappeared and the loss was not noticed until the dog was called to supper. Then inquiry was made at once and it developed that some one had seen a one horse rig stop at the Hartswick gate but thought nothing of it until the dog was. dis- covered to be missing. Ginger had evident. ly been stolen and search was instituted at once all along the road and through the telephone. Finally after making three trips to Tyrone where it was strmised the dog was detained the police were called upon and soon found his hiding place. The episode cost the abductor a neat little sum to keep out of the clutches of the law and from the fact that his mother had to pay the young man’s fine we will give no names. About one year ago N. T. Krebs had a dog stolen which after a heated chase was finally recovered in the mountains back of Potters Mills. Dogs are assessed and taxes are paid for them the same as any other property and the law has a right to protect the property. Lemont. Clayton Etters has been entertaining two of his aunts from Sunbury, this week. Quite a hail storm visited parts of this val- ley last Thursday, but did not do much dam- age. Overseer, Peter Shultz, had a severe attack of the palsy the latter part of last week but is rallying slowly. Mr. and Mrs. H. M. Kerns are highly elat- ed over the ten pound daughter that came to their home recently. § Mrs. Lavina Wasson and Miss Anna Fogle- man spent a pleasant afternoon on Saturday at the home of Mrs. G. W. Williams, Oscar Osman came home a couple of weeks ago and has been suffering with boils on the liver and other complaints, just as serious, ever since. All those who attended the United Evan- gelical sociable at George Rolston’s last Thursday evening were well entertained and had a pleasant time. The Young American Cornet Band will hold a festival Aug. 16th at which will be served all the refreshments of the season besides some fine music. - Rev. G. W. Lesher’s sale was well attended on Saturday, but most of his goods went at a sacrifice price. The Rev. and family depart- ed for Buffalo on Tuesday, where he intends spending the balance of his days. As Frank and Robert Wasson were hauling in wheat this week the team suddenly bhe- came unmanageable and turned the wagon over and,as the former walked behind, one of the horses kicked him but luckily did not hurt him much. The little wagon circus that exhibited at Lemont on Friday and Saturday evenings was well patronized and well talked about, especially the picture of the late President McKinley making his last speech at Buffalo. The Change at Smulltown. To the DEMOCRATIC WATCHMAN :(— In reply to the Gazette's announcement in its last week’s issue, which has brought many inquiries, that the name of our Post-office has been changed from Smulltown to Brook Gap, we desire to say that through jealousy and prejudice an attempt has been made to that effect. The facts are these; last January Geo. H. Smull secured for our town an office—a matter that has been tried for years by dif- ferent parties without success. Mr. Smull in his attempt won the fight and the office was deservingly named for him to the satisfaction of all our citizens, save one who is an enemy and who recently circulated a petition for this change through the influence and assis- tance of one or two prejudiced Rebersburg parties, who for personal reasons have oppos- ed our office ever since its establishment. The citizens in general knew nothing of this petition which consisted of about thirty names comprising almost entirely signers who are not patrons of our office and who have selfish reasons for trying to injure our office. The few of our patrons who did sign were led into it inadvertently and have since petitioned to the Department to have their names withdrawn from said petition and join in asking for the retention of the name our office now bears. Our people are very indig- nant and excited about the matter and had they been aware of the movement it would have been resented at once. As politics take strange turns we await developments. In the iterim, we wish to say for Mr. Smull that he has done a lasting favor for our town and one that will always be appreciated and that he has the good will, loyalty and support of all our reputable citizens. The motive of the parties back of the movement is to injure our office and to hurt Mr. Smull. It is being vio- lently resented, however, as a petition of names including every patron of this office, with the exception of three or four, has gone forth. Also the community of Miles town- ship, realizing the injustice and motive of the movement, have voluntarily taken the matter up and furnished a strong petition, making a total of over two hundred voters to counter- act the matter we hope that justice will be done us. WESLEY J. HACKENBURG, (Pm.) NEWTON BRUMGART, PERRY WINTERS. MARRIAGE LICENSES.—Following is the list of marriage licenses granted by or- phan’s court clerk, A. G.

The August McClure’s might almost be adver" tised as ‘‘the book of the month.” Though 1t is the typical midsummer fiction number—and a tip-top one, too—it manages to find place tor a number of striking articles that will perhaps be even more eagerly read than the stories. Professor Angelo Heilpin, who, it will be remembered, was the first man to get to the top of Mount Pelee after the eruption, tells the detailed story of his explora- tions. The illustrations for the articles, drawn by George Varian,who accompanied the author onhis second ascent to the crater, are by far the best yet published of Peles in eruption, A= tlluminating as it i= biief is Lineoln Steff en-’s sketch of John Mitchell, **A Labor Leader of To-day. Two papers of absolutely unique personal ex- periences are Santos-Dumont’s fir © article on “How | Became an Aeronant’” and Mrs, Tsitka's story of the birth of her baby while the mother, with Miss Ellen M. Stone, was in captivity among the brigands. Mr. Santos-Dumont is the only living navigator ot a dirigible balloon, and Mrs. Tsilka’s experience the most remarkable that any woman has lived through since the siege of the legations in Peking. The fiction includes ‘‘Cap’n Bob of the Seream- er,” by F. Hopkinson Smith, “The Life of the Winds of Heaven,’ an idyll of the michigan for- ests, by Stewart Edward White; “Such as Walk in Darkness,” by Sarauel Hopkins Adams, “How, the Fairies Came to Ireland,” another of Miss Herminie 7Templeton’s sprightly stories, and “The Finish of Elizabeth Shanklin,” a tale of a Missouri Lochinvar, by R. E. Young. The Special Educational Number of The Out- look (August M: ine Number) contains among other things an interesting and charming illus. trated article on “School Gardens,” by Mr. Dick J. Crosby of the United States Department of Agriculture; a paver on the heads of some wom- en’s Solleges by Dean Jordan of Smith College. illustrated with particularly attractive portraits of four presidents and deans of women’s colleges; a talk about Princeton Univesity and the men who made it by Robert Bridges, apropos of the recent change in the presidency; an elaborate article on the University of Chicago by Professor George E. Vincent; an illustrated sketch of the grgahisation, history and work of “The American School of Classical Studies at Athens’’ by Profes- sor Wheeler, Chairman of the Managing Commit- tee; a novel discussion on the relations between the college and university by Professor Hyde of Bowdoin and Professor Harris of Amherst; and an editorial summary of the educational progress of the Fear In addition to all this the issue con- tains the usual very full histsry of the world for the week, a story, poems, light articles, etc. The August Everybody's is an ideal midsummer magazine. Itis compounded chiefly of fiction, the lightest and blithest of tales against a back- ground of charming and interesting pictures, "here are six short stories, a little poetry, a fine, humorous study of the New England farmer, by Holman F. Day,who is called the poet laureate of Maine, a noble description of the glowing of wheat, “Blade and Shea,” by Martha Me Culloch Williams; A. Radeclyfte Dugmore tells of the “Sheep Dog Trials at Troutbeck,” which suggest- ed to Alfred Ollivant the grand scene in “Bob, Son of Battle”; Arthur E. Johnson describes the re- markable air cooling machine invented by Prof. Willis J. Moore. There are the usual depart- ments, **How to Make Money,” and ‘Little Stories of People and Things,”’ and a most interesting description of “Customs and Costumes at French Watering Places.” Altogether a capital and beau- tiful number of the magazine. A Poxy Cart Ourrir rREe.—With its nsual pro- gressiveness The Pitsburg Sunday Dispatch will start the most novel feature for children that has ever been offered by any newspaper. It will give free to every reader a scientifically devised draw- ing and painting book which is intended to de- volop the artist.c tendencies of children, and at the same time afford no end of amusement. It will contain outline drawings by famous artists tobe colored, and a complete set of paints by which to color them, instructions for drawing, copying and enlarging—nature studies, cut-out dolls with dresses for coloring, ete. On the back of each book a puzzle in colors will be printed each week. For the correet solution of four puzzles, which will be published each successive week, beginning August 10, TheDispatch will give a pony, cart and harness complete, as stylish an outfit as could be procured. In order to partici- pate in this contest it will be necessary to get the first puzzle published August 10, as the prize is given for the correct solution of four puzzles. Full instructions will appear in The Dispatch. Tue Post Scores AcaiN.—As usual when there is an important news event to be reported. “The Post” leads all its contemporaries—it has no rivals. “The Post” was the only Pittsburg news- paper Saturday to give to its Eastern edition read- ers a complete account of the Jeffries-Fitzsim- mons prize fight. No Philadelphia paper did so. The three hours difference in time between Pittsburg and San Francisco made somewhat difficult the publication ot the news from the ringside, but ‘“The Post’> rose to the occasion and not only gave the result of the battle, but a detailed account by rounds, including the eighth, wherein Fitzsimmons went down to de- feat. The other papers reports containing from two to six rounds. A plain tale like this needs no one to point the moral. New Advertisements.
