Harper's Weekly which takes great pride in styling itself’ “The journal of civiliza- _%ion,”” hashad ro friendly -words for the ‘Democratic party of late years. By civilizati- oa the manager of that interesting hebdoma- * dal manifestly Tusans the bankers, railroad presidents, coal barons, merchant princes and manufacturing magnates, for it has been essentially the-ergan of those favored sons of the soil of the United States and Europe. But in spite of its inclination to the con- trary recent events have compelled it to say a kind word forsthe Democracy aad in the current issue it declares that under certain,’ altogether probable, conditions that the party may win inthe coming ‘presidential contest. : Of course the ‘journal of civilization” qualifies its kindly expression and clearly reveals the hope that the conditions which are at presefit-auspicious will not continue. But let that go. The fact is that under the + head of “How about the Democrats?” it confesses that its history is long and in the main honorable, and adds tbat the paity has accepted a moral issue, “wherein “lies the real danger to Republican supremacy and the real hope of the Democratic party.’ The moral issue to which it wefers is in all. They are ‘‘Freedom for the Fili- pinos, justice for Cuba and tariff for rev- enue only of tlie” government ‘and not for the trusts.” vs Unquestionably those are the issues upon which the next presidential battle will be fought and likewise "clearly ‘tha Demo- cratic party, is right on them. Harper's Weekly adds that President ROOSEVELT is himself sound on those fundamental questions and that Senator HOAR, a Re- publican, is the principal champion of one of them. But they are alone in their par- ty andy Has been abundant] yi proved can accomplish nothing, whereas all.the leading - + — Democrats are agreed on them and the rank and file of the party are in accord. It probably makes no difference what Harpers’ Weekly says or thinks on the sub- ject but nevertheless its expression shows the direction in which the minds of an important class are running. ' TE mi—————a——— LF The Hon. John JU Shaffer. The death ¢f Hon. JoHN' U.” SHAFFER, which occurred in ‘his fifty-ninth year at his home in Renovo, on Friday evening, re- moves from the ranks of journalism a dis- tinguished member. At the age of seven- teen Mr. SHAFFER was apprenticed to a printer in Fulton county and on the old Fulton Republican he hegan a ovareer that has been varied, thongh continually devot- ed to newspaper work." "He was the editor and owner of the Re- novo Record,a paper most influential along the West Branch.

He served two terms in the lower house of the State Legislature with marked ability; it being largely through his efforts that the Central State Normal school at Lock Haven was able to secure such legislation as put it on the firm foundation it occupies to-day.

Heinle Nominated for the Senate a Sec- ond Time. The Democratic Senatorial Conferees for the Thirty- Fourth District Again Honor Wm. C. Heinle With a Nomination. Their Action Endorsed by a Rousing Ratification Meeting in the Court House Last Even- ing. The Republicans Name Col. A. E. Patton, of Curwensville. The meeting of the Democratic Senator- ial Conference for the Thirty-fourth Dis- trict, which was held in this place last evening resolved itself into a great love- feast and ratification meeting endorsing the unanimous action of the conferees in re- nominating Honorable Wm. C. Heinle, for the office of State Senator. Sen- ator Heinle’s honorable career during the last session of the Legislature, when corrupt tion was rife among members and Senators alike,found its reward in the general senti- ment throughout the counties ofjthe district that, he should be sent back. He had no op- position in any quarter, and when the con- ferees met here yesterday their formal ac- tion was with-held until last evening, when they joined in the public meeting that the Senator’s enthusiastic friends arranged in order that all might have an opportunity of attending the conference. There were large delegations of represen- tative citizens from nearby points present, many of whom assembled in the square in front of the Bush house at 8 o'clock last evening and headed by the Coleville and Pleasant Gap bands, escorted the visiting conferees to the court house, where} the open conference was held. The visitors oc- cupied carriages and the route was marked by the glare of colored lights and rockets. The members constituting the conference were : Clearfield county, Hon. W. E. Wal- lace and Dr. Buzzard, of Clearfield; and J. H. Burns, of Osceola. Clinton county, A. F. Ryan Esq, of Lock Haven; H. A. Mey- er,Logan Twp.,and John A. Drauker,of Re- novo. Centre county, W.C. Patterson,State College; John Q. Miles, of Martha ; Hon. Henry Meyer, of Miles Twp. Immediately upon assembly in the court house, which was. crowded to the doors, Hon. W. E. Wallace was chosen chairman and the formality of organization gone through with. After which Senator Heinle was nominated and speeches made by A. F. Ryan, and Col. D. F. Fortney, of Bellefonte, who dwelt particularly on the Senator's able efforts in the Legislature for the Grand Army men. Senator Heinle responded in a modest, becoming manner and was received with prolonged cheering that augurs well for the treatment he will receive in November. THE REPUBLICANS NAME PATTON. The Republican senatorial conference met at the Ward house in Tyrone yesterday afternoon and went through the formality of placing Col. A. E. Patton, of Curwens- ville, in nomination for State Senate. He had no opposition in the district, so that his choice was by the unanimous consent of the conferees. Clearfield county was represented at the Conference by R. D. Swoope, of Curwens- ville, A. R. Van Tassel, of DuBois, and H. B. Hartswick, of Clearfield. Clinton by Maj. Geo. Weymouth, of Lock Haven, O. S. Keley, of Flemington, and T. O’Laugh- in, of Renovo. Centre by John G. Platt, of Philipsburg, and W. I. Fleming and Harry Keller, of Bellefoute. Maj. Wey- mouth was chosen chairman of the Confer- ence and Messrs Hartswick and Keller sec- retaries. Col. Patton was nominated by Mr. Swoope, the nomination being second- ed by Messrs Fleming, Kelcy and Van Tas- gel for their respective counties. THE DEMOCRATIC CONGRESSIONAL CON- FERENCE. The Democratic congressional confer- ence for this district will meetat DuBois today to nominate a candidate for Congress. The conferees from this county are P. J. McDonald, Unionville; John Todd, Phil- ipsburg, and W. Harrison Walker, Belle- fonte. > The only candidate for the honor is D. E. Hibner, a prominent and very popular business man of Du Bois. THE REPUBLICAN CONGRESSIONAL CON- FERENCE NOT HEARD FROM. Up to a late hour last night the Repub- lican congressional conference, which con- vened at DuBois yesterday, had not suc- ceeded in making a nomination. Dr. M. J. Locke, Centre county’s aspirant for honors, is there with the following conferees to represent his interests: Col. Wilbur F. Reeder, Dr. W. S. Harter, State College, and Edmund Blanchard Esq. As each county has an aspirant it may be a day or so before the conferees finally vote for S. R. Dressler, of McKean, who has been slated for the nomination for weeks, Rilling Elected Chairman. Democratic State Campaign Committee Formally Organized. HARRISBURG, August 12.—The demo- cratic state campaign committee organized at a meeting at state headquarters in this city to-day by the election of John S. Rill- ing, of Erie, as chairman; J. Wood Clark, of Indiana, and P. Gray Meek, of Bellefonte, secretaries. State chairman Creasy presided and there were pres- ent besides the officers chosen,James K. P. Hall, of Elk; Robert E.

This committee will be appointed by Mr. Wright, who was chairman of the recent state convention held at Erie. Daring September the can- didates will start on a tour of the State in a special train. A meeting of the state executive commit tee was also held last night at state head- quarters to arrange the details of the cam- paign and discuss party matters. Severe Earthquake at Skagway, Win- dows broken, Chimneys Tumbled. SEATTLE, Wash., Aug. 11.—A special from Skagway, Alaska, says: Yesterday a severe earthquake was felt here about noon. The first shock was fifty seconds long. ‘Several large plate glass windows were broken and chimneys in the northern part of the city tumbled down. The wat- er in Lynn canal rose five feet very sudden- ly, then subsided as quickly. A report from Juneau says that the little fleet there was pitched around and several boats capsized. The first long shock was followed by a lighter one. Yesterday even- og at 7 o'clock another light shock was elt. ——Only one thing exceeds the loss—the love. That lives on, affording me such new expriences as make me understand gue groth of a religion better than ever efore. Crowning of King Edward. Details and Incidents of the Function In West- minster Abbey—Archbishop of Canterbury, Who Officiated, Almost Faints From Strain of the Proceedings and Had to Be Practically Carried to the Altar. ’ LoNpoN, Aug. 9.—Though looking pale and drawn, Edward VII went through the coronation ceremony seemingly without ill effects. The queen looked radiant with joy. The actual time of the crowning of the king was 12:39 p. m. and of the queen 12:56. Their majesties reached the palace on the return from Westminster Abbey, be- ing delayed by rain. The service commenced with the recon- centration of the regalia. The procession of the clergy with the regalia then proceed- ed to the annex, all present standing up and the choir singing “O God Our Help in Ages Past.”” Preceeding the regalia came the boys of Westminster Abbey, followed by the children of the chapel. KING EDWARD CROWNED. The Duke of Connaught took his place be- sides the Prince of Wales in the Abbey as the procession entered, bowing as he pass- ed the prince. The archbishop of Canterbury took his seat in front of the coronation chair, and the Earl of Halsbury, the lord high chan- cellor, seated himself by his side. Several minutes elapsed, however, before the king and queen came in sight of those gathered about the throne. Suddenly ‘‘Vivat Alex- andria !”’ was shouted by the boys of West- minster, and the queen, walking slowly to the left of the throne, gained ber chair,and knelt at a silken prie dieu, her maguificent train of cloth of gold being lifted out of her way by six scarlet coated pages. THE KING ARRIVES. Two or three minutes later came the hoarse cry from the Westminster boys of ‘‘Vivat Rex Edwardus !”’ with blasts from trumpets. Yet there was another wait. ‘‘What has become of the king ?’’ was ask- ed by people who were shut off from sight of the nave. The queen waited patiently, the organ ceased and then resumed, there was another fanfare of trumpets, another of ‘Vivats’’ and King Edward appeared and walked to his chair in front of the throne, bowing to the queen as she passed,and then knelt down in prayer. After removing his somewhat unbecoming hat his majesty stood up and the archbishop of Canterbury in a trembling voice read the recognition, beginning : *‘Sirs, I here present unto you King Edward, the undoubted king of this realm, etc. Then there was a hoarse shont and the blending of the choir and the peo- ple, women and men cried out, ‘‘God Save King Edward I’? Several times this was Jopested, and the Abbey rang with loud fan ares. Again the king and queen knelt, and the archbishop of Cauterbury walked to the altar and commenced the communion. While the gospel was being read the king stood erect, supported on each side by the bishops in their heavilyjembroidered capes. During the singing of the creed all the mem- bers of the royal family turned eastward. Both King Ed wardand Queen Alexandra fol lowed the service carefully, frequently look- ing at the copies of the service, which they beld in their hands. The administration of the oath followed. Standing before the king’s chair, the arch- bishop asked : ‘‘Sir is your majesty will- ing to take the oath?’ The king answer- ed in firm, strong tones: ‘‘I am willing,” etc., bis replies being easily heard up in the triforium near theroof. Then the inkstand was brought and the king signed the cath. He did not advance to the altar, but sat in the chair he had occupied since the service began. While the choir sang ‘Come, Holy Ghost, Our Souls Inspire,” the king re- mained seated and the queen stood up. PRINCE OF WALES PAYS HOMAGE. The next person to pay homage to his majesty was the Prince of Wales, who knelt until King Edward’ held out his hand, which he kissed after touching the crown as a sign of fealty. The Prince of Wales then started to return to his seat, when the king drew him back and put his arms around him and kissed him. After this the king once more gave the prince his hand, this time to shake, and the hearty vigor of King Edward’s grasp showed that his hand, at any rate, had not lost its strength. 2 The queen then rose and accompanied by her entourage, proceeded to the altar steps, where under a pall of cloth of gold she was quickly crowned by the archbishop of York supported by the bishops. She was then led to the throne beside that in which the king sat, and her enthronization was ac- complished. THE MONARCHS RECEIVE COMMUNION. The queen howed to King Edward, and both walked to the altar and received com- munion, after delivering their crowns to the lord great chamberlain and another of- ficer appointed to hold them. The pages, while their majesties knelt, still held the queen’s magnificent long train, with the rest of the nobles present kneeling. The whole spectacle was most impressive and was made more brillant owing to the elec- tric light. By a great effort the archbishop of Can- terbury was enabled to conclude the serv- ice, and the king and queen repaired to St. Edward’s chapel. Neither of their ma- jesties returned to their thrones after the communion, but remained at the altar. The service, which was completed with the singing of the ‘‘Te Deum,’’ was brought to a close without a hitch. The king exhibit- ed no ontward traces of fatigue. PROCESSION INCIDENTS. The three processions to the abbey were carried out according to program, and the only striking feature of-the first two were the gorgeous state carriages and the beauti- ful trappings and horses. The crowd paid but little attention to the occupants of the vehicles. In the last carriage of the first procession sat Prince Henry of Prussia on the back seat, but he was so occupied with talking to the Duke of Sparta that he seemed not to notice the crowd. The Prince of Wales alsc seemed very indifferent and stolid,but the Princess of Wales bowed and smiled constantly. It was not till the king’s procession came that there was any show of enthusiasm. After the archbishop’s anointing prayer a gold canopy was brought over to the. king’s chair, and his majesty divested him- self of his outer robe and then walked to the ancient chair, while the choir sang Zadok’s anthem. After the prayer the king donned the colobium sindonis, then resumed his seat and from a scarlet, silken roll on which the prayers were printed in large type and which was held by the dean of Westmin- ster the archbishop of Canterbury read the prayers and delivered the sword to the king, who did not go to the altar, the sword being taken to him by the dean of Westminister while his majesty remained standing. The armilla and the orb were then delivered to the king,according to the program. When the king held up his hand for the ring, the archbishop of Canterbury had difficulty in finding it, but finally, with ‘his place by parties of men. trembling hands, he placed it on the tip of his majesty’s finger, reading the prayer simultaneously, - the king himself complet- ing the process of putting on the ring as he withdrew his band. THE KING IS CROWNED Later the archbishop had similar difficul- ty, owing to shortsightedness, in placing the crown on the king’s head. In fact, the choir started ‘‘God Save the King’? while the archbishop of Canterbury was still striv- ing to place the crown on the ruler’s head, and a great shout went up and the electric lights were turned on. As the acclamations died away the clang- ing of the joy bells, the noise of guns and and the shouting of the people outside pen- etrated into the abbey, where the king sat motionless, his dazzling crown on his head and his scepter held firmly in his band. After singing ‘‘Be Strong and Play the Man’ and the Bible having been presented the king advanced and knelt while he re- ceived the benediction. He then walked to the great throne, where he stood on the dais for the first time, surrounded by the nobles. The archbishop of Canterbury fol- lowed, the king being obliged to stand while awaiting the arrival of the archbish- op. Having placed the king on his new throne, the archbishop kuelt and paid hom- age, the aged prelate scarcely being able to arise until the king assisted him and himself raised the archbishop’s hand from the steps of the throne. The archbishop who seemed to be in a faint, had practical- ly to be carried to the altar. The incident created considerable excitement, and sev- eral prelates rushed forward to help the primate. : Lord Kitchener, Admiral Seymour and General Gaselee as they rode together of course came in for much attention, but they all seemed to look straight ahead and pay little attention to the people along the route. Lord Kitchener, in the resplendent fulldress uniform of a general, also looked unfamiliar, and many persons did not recognize him. The Indiaus were undoubt- edly the. most picturesque feature of the procession. The progress of the royal cortege was marked by no special incident with ex- ception of an accident to Lord Edward Pelham Clinton, one of the grooms in waiting. It was a continued triumph and reached its climax on the arrival at the abbey, where there was a scene of unpar- alleled enthusiasm which did not cease until their majesties disappeared in the annex. In Westminster abbey the doors of that edifice were scarcely opened and the gold sticks and ushers had barely found their stations before the seats began to fill. Peers and peeresses swept up the aisles their scarlet and ermine making vivid con- trasts with the deep blue of the carpet. As they arrived before the thrones they separated, the peers going to the right and the peeresses to the left. : Even when practically empty, the abbey presented an interesting, picturesque ef- fect, the oddest feature of which consisted in every seat being practically covered hy a large white official program, in the cen- ter of which was placed a small deep red book of service. King Edward’s Condition. Bore Strain of Coronation Well and With Litile Fatigue. LoxpoN, Aug. 11.—The foliowing bulletin concerning the King’s condition was issued yesterday: ‘‘His majesty bore the strain of the coronation ceremony per- fectly well and experienced but little fa- tigue. The King’s condition isin every way satisfactory. ‘No further bulletin will be issued. King Edward and Queen Alexandra and | the royal guests at Buckingham palace yesterday attended divine service in the royal chapel of St. James Palace, and at the close of the service the national anthem was sung. Their majesties were loudly cheered by the crowds on the streets as they drove back to Buckingham Palace. Strikers are Foraging on Catawissa Farms. Pull Corn, Dig Potatoes and Shoot When Ordered Off —Land Owners Prepare to Fight. SHENANDOAH, Pa., August 11.—Com- plaint was made to brigade headquarters to day that strikers are foraging in the rich agricultural districts of the Catawissa val- ley, which spreads in broad and fertile length along the other side of the moun- tains north of this city. The life of one of the farmers has been threatened, becanse he attempted to protect his property, and the raids have reached such serious proportion that the farmers are preparing to take some concerted action to stop further depreda- tions. } The complaints reached headquarters this afternoon, and it is not likely that cavalry will be sent into the district to-morrow for the purpose of stopping the raids. If the cavalry is sent there it is probable that a platoon of troopers will be left in the valley to patrol the farms day and night. The farmers are drawing up a petition asking for protection, which will be sent to the sheriff in case General Gobin declares not to send the troops into the valley. Lucien Munbeck, a farmer, reported that for some time past raids have heen made on Early this morning he caught a man tearing out whole stalks of corn. He ordered the man off the place, and as he was leaving he fired two shots at the farmer. The latter was armed but did not shoot. A widow who owns a farm reported that several men came on her premises and started to dig potatoes. She ordered them off the patch, but they paid no attention to her and did not leave until they had taken all they needed. One farm- er has several men patrolling his farm day and night. The foragers do not confine themselves to stealing crops, but also take poultry. The soldiers in camp are daily feeding several hundred women and children. They come there saying they are hungry and as there is more than enough food in the camp to supply the wante of the men, the officers permit the soldiers to give something to the needy applicants. The number at camp ‘last week was small, but it is increasing every day. Some of the women and all of the children come to the camp in their bare feet. Many of them bring baskets to carry the food home. It is a common sight to see some of the women and children take scraps from the leavings of the soldiers. Colonel Hoffman, of the Eighth regiment, was ask- ed if all these persons were foreigners, and he replied that a good many belonged to the English-speaking classes. The officials of the mine workers’ union, ‘deny there is any actual want. They maintain the local unions are well able at ‘this time to take care of all cases of dis- ‘tress. : The troops remain in camp all day drill- ‘ing and practicing at the rifle ranges. The strike situation remains unchanged and the region hereabouts is peaceful. ——~Subscribe for the WATCHMAN. Outpost Attacked. Camp Vicars, on the Island of Mindanao, the Scene of a Surprise Tuesday. MANILA, August 12.— A party of Moros surprised an outpost of the twenty-seventh infantry at Camp Vicars yesterday. Ser geant Foley and private Van Dorn were severely wounded. The Moros, who numbered only a doz- en, were armed with spears and swords. The morning was dark and foggy. The at- tacking party crawled to within a few feet of the sentinels and then sprang upon them. The outpost rushed to the relief of the sen- tinels, buf they were too late, and the Moros escaped,although possibly a few were wounded. The American sintinels were terribly cut by the swords and spears. The attacking Moros were all from Ba- colod, and the occurrence probably will re- sult in a move against that town, which has a strong fort and other defenses. Constabulary Inspector - William Scher- merhorn, whose home was in Seattle, Wash. was mortally wounded in a recent fight with Ladrones at Illigan, Mindanao. The fourth anniversary of the capture of the city of Manila, which was surrendered to the American forces on August 13th, 1898, was observed as a general holiday. WASHINGTON. August 13.—The War Department is ad vised by cable from Gener- al Chaffee that last midnight ten or twelve Moros attacked the outpost of Company G, Twenty-seventh infantry, at Camp Vicars, killing Henry Carey and James Foley, and wounding two other enlisted men. Camp Vicars is a post a few miles from Malabang, Mindanao, where Lieutenant Vicars and a number of American soldiers were massacred a yearago. It was named in honor of Lieutenant Vicars. Filipinos Buried Teacher Alive? Investigation of the Killing of Coaching Party in Cebu Deveiops Shocking Brutality—To Punish Murderers. MANILA, Aug. 12.—An investigation made by the constabulary to clear up the facts in the killing of a Cebu coaching party of four school teachers shows that the party was ambushed twelve miles from Cebu. Two teachers were shot and killed at the first volley; a third, who ran, was shot in the back, and a fourth, who was captured, was shot in the chest while he was praying for mercy. Y It is suspected that the fourth man was buried alive, as his wound was slight and probably would not have caused death. 1t is believed that sufficient evidence has been secured to convict all the participants in the crime. The bodies of these teachers were found on July 24th after they had heen missing since June 10th. The police killed the leader of the band of murderers and ocap- tured eight other alleged participants in the crime. One man escaped. The teachers were John E Wells and his cousin, Louis A. Thomas, of Providence, R° I.; Earnest Heger, of Cincinnatti, and Clyde A. France, of Beret, O. Ernest Heger studied in Philadelphia for some months, living at the time in West Phila- delphia. He Tired of Being Good Too Soon. From the Wilkesbarre Leader. Maybe the fact that Judge Pennypacker bolted the Republican ticket in 1882 doesn’t add anything to his weakness in the present campaign. Indeed, it might be more to his credit were he still a-holt- ing. ADDITIONAL LOCALS ——Next Thursday the business men of Centre and Clinton counties, with their em- ployees, will picnic at Hecla park. Doli et IE ——Lew Mills rescued a little child of George Eberbart’s from what must certain- ly have been instant death on Wednesday afternoon. The little fellow was creeping across the railroad trestle over Buffalo run, near the P. R. R. round house, when the afternoon Bellefonte Central train was back- ing out of this place. The train was too close upon him to be stopped and the child was too small to realize his danger, so by a brave dash Lew ran ahead of the train and carried the boy out of harm’s way. . MEALS FOR ALL.—The business men’s picnic committee announces that arrange- ments have been perfected with a first class caterer, whereby both dinner and supper will be served at Hecla park on next Thursday, the day of the big pienic of the business men of Centre and Clinton coun- ties. There will be plenty provided for the crowd and the price will be very low. This announcement is made merely to assure those who do not care to take a basket that proper provision will be made for them. THE DEDICATION AT VALLEY VIEW.— Sunday, August 24th,has been fixed as the date on which the cosy little chapel which the United Brethrens have erected at Val- ley View will be dedicated. Though the congregation at that place is small they bave a place of worship that they may well be proud of being able to dedicate to its sacred purpose; especially since it is already nearly paid for. The services will be made an occasion of unusu- al spiritual interest and will be held at the following hours during the day : At 30:30 a. m. Rev. J. I. L. Ressler, A. M. P. E. of the eastern district, of Johns- town, will preach. At 2 p. m. there will be an address to the Sunday school by the Rev. W. R. Dillen,of Port Matilda. At 3 p. m. asermon by Rev. G. P.

It is a little settlement along the mountain road west of Coleville and is made up largely of workers in the quarries in the valley below. The location is a beautiful one, command- ing a magnificent view of a wide expanse of fertile valley and rugged mountain sides You are invited to attend any or all of the services. JASPER R. WOLFE. —In the last issue of the WATCHMAN was published a brief no- tice of the sudden death of Jasper R. Wolfe, which occurred at the home of his sister, in Bellwood, on the 29th ult. Inasmuch as Mr. Wolfe was a member of a prominent Centre county family we publish the fol- lowing more extended obituary from the Bellwood Bulletin. Jasper R. Wolfe, one of Bellwood’s well- kuown and esteemed citizens has, joined the innumerable caravan. About 3:30 o’clock Tuesday morning of this week his spirit passed out to the great beyond. His death occurred at the home of his sister, Mrs. D. M. Weaver, on Third street, south, where he made his home for the past few years. He was a man who always enjoyed good health. Three weeks ago,however, he took sick and his condition assumed a serious form from the start, but he was able to be up and about and go out driving. The day previous to his demise he took a drive with Dr. T. L. Wilson, who attended him, and he seemed to be gaining strength. He was born at Wolfe's Store, Centre county. where most of his life was spent. When he reached maturity he engaged in farming and huckstering, He came to our town a few years ago and made many warm and lasting acquaintances, and the an- nouncement of his death was a great sur- prise to them. He was a devoted member of the Young Men’s Christian Association, and was a quiet, good citizen. He was frequently employed as a clerk in Krouse’s restaurant. At the time of his death be was aged 57 years. He is survived by his aged mother, Mrs. Elizabeth Wolfe, whose home is with her daughter, Mrs. Weever; two sisters, Mrs. D. M. Weaver, at whose home he died, and Mrs. W. J. Musser, of Freeport, Ill., who is at present the guest of Mrs. Weaver; also one brother, J. Newton Wolfe, of Garrison, Towa. The funeral occurred from the home of his sister Thursday afternoon at 2 o’clock, the services being conducted by Rev. Dr. J. H. Mathers, pastor of the Presby- terian church, and was attended by many sympathizing friends and neighbors. In- terment was made in Logan Valley ceme- tery. Spring Mills. The berry market continues flat. Black- berries appear to be a drug. Corman & Son will soon operate their cider press here and at Tusseyville. Apples seem plenty. No signs yet for a bridge over Sinking creek, the main thoroughfare to the R. R. station, and the legal route to carry the TU. S. mail. Has the state administration gone stark mad over the ‘‘me and Cousin Samuel”’ ticket, and all necessary public business been allowed to go to the deuce ’til after the election ? It seems so. DR. WoLF's GOLDEN JUBILEE.—Thursday was a gala day in Spring Mills ; it being the day appointed for the Dr. Wolf jubilee. The weather was grand. Early in the day visitors began to arrive, and by noon from fifteen hundred to two thousand people had as- sembled at Allison’s grove. More beautiful grounds could not have been selected in the valley, and only a short distance above the village. Many of the visitors were former students and quite a number came from a considerable distance to attend the pienic and reunion. All the stores and places of business in the village were closed, to afford the employees an opportunity to enjoy the picnic. The grounds were artistically decorated with flags and national colors, the grass was swept perfectly clean, not a leaf nor twig could be discovered anywhere.so the grounds resembled a vast flooring covered with a beautiful green carpet. Quite a number of interesting addresses were delivered, in- terspersed with music and singing, and the program fully carried out as announced in the newspapers. The dinner hour presented a very lively scene. Under huge and giant like trees, were spread snowy white cloths covered with dainties and substantials of the most inviting character to which all the lit- tle and big folks dids possibly, more than ample justice.
