Mrs. Joseph Strouse with her bright grand- gon, Charley Glenn, spent Saturday in Belle- fonte. Misses Ella Musser and Mary McGarvey, of Bellefonte, were entertained by Miss Mary Woods over Sunday. Miss Sadie Dannley, one of the very effi- cient employees of State College exchange, was home over Sunday. George Smith and his mother are sight see- ing in Philadelphia this week, as well as visiting relatives there. Dave Fulton and Wm. Spotts drove over from State College Saturday evening to transact business in our town. James Foust and John Foster drove down from Tyrone Saturday, to spend the day with their old neighbor Amos Koch. Albert Bowersox is home from Pittsburg, and like a good son is diked out in overalls assisting his father on the farm. Albert Eyer, while chopping pulp wood in the barrens, cut his left hand which will com- pel him to stop work for several days. Henry Campbell is having a new barn erected on the site of the old burnt one. He hopes to have it finished by harvest time. We regret to note the serious illness of James Kimport. who is ailing with stomach trouble and other diseases incidentto old age. Albert Hoy had a relapse of his old disease on Tuesday, and his condition was so alarm- ing that his family were summoned to his bedside. Banker Isaac Mitchell and his wife were passengers on the early Monday train en route to their home after spending Sunday at Heart’s-ease. Mr. Simon Cameron and his wife, of Thompsontown, are being royally entertain- ed at Warren Ward’s hospitable home at Baileyville. Mrs. Sade Heberling has returned from Philadelphia, where she was in attendance upon Mrs. Miller, during the latter’s stay at the hospital. Rev. Dr. Schuyler and wife, of Centre Hall, were entertained at the parsonage on Monday, and in the evening enjoyed a drive behind Rev. Aikens’ fine team. Mr. Joshua Williams, an old veteran of the Civil war, was down from Tyrone on last Sat- rday to enjoy a few day’s outing among his friends here and at State College. Isaac Miller, of Bellefonte, with a gang of men is building a new house on his Tadpole farm, which he means to make one of the finest in the valley. D. B. McWilliams, of Port Royal, was here last week visiting his cousin G. W. McWil- liams, of Fairbrook. He is interested in a large fertilizer concern and isa full fledged granger. Rev. C. T. Aikens is a busy man of affairs these days. In addition to preaching he has gone into the lumber business and is now tak- ing out lumber as well as building a house at State College. J. B. Heberling came very near having a blaze in his furniture store on Tuesday even- ing. The head flew of a match ignit- ing a rugand it was only by prompt action that a serious fire was averted. Hon. J. W. Kepler is arranging for a fish- ing expedition the last of the week. A num- ber of fisherman from Bellefonte are going with him and if they don’t beat Silbert Solt’s record we know they will not lack material for future tales. Squire Keller has been awarded the con- tract of building John Snyder’s new house at the College. In size and plan it is to be the same as Mr. Erb’s house is and Mr. Snyder made no mistake when he secured Mr. Kel- ler to do the work. Robert Ross and family, of Missouri, are visiting friends in Centre county, after an ab. sence of twenty years. They spent the be- ginning of the week here noting the many improvements that has taken place since they went west. On Sunday evening while David Barr was doing the work at the barn he fell down the hay hole and landed on his head and shoul- ders. Dr. Woods thinks that there are mo _ bones broken but he was quite seriously bruised. Supervisor Frank Bowersox, of Rock Springs, spent Saturday evening in town con- versing with supervisor Musser relative to the new road laws of the State. They are both wide awake and purpose looking after Ferguson’s claim in the new appropriation. Our friend Jacob Weber is laid up for re- pairs. Last Thursday while painting his house he lost his balance and fell from the scaffold which was about 25 feet from the ground. He broke his right leg above the knee and for a time it was thought that he had been injured internally. However, his attending physician, Dr, Kitter, is very hope- ful of his recovery. A. M. Brown isin hard luck. Last week the forest fires in the vicinity of Reedsville wiped out a great deal of his lumber which was not insured. The fire was one of the most destructive that has visited the commu. nity for years and the high winds carried the flames to Mr. Brown’s wharf so rapidly that there was no chance to save the lumber. A CHILD'S FACE BADLY To RN.—While George Elder, little son of Samuel Elder, was playing with his father’s big dog out in the yard, the dog suddenly became indignant for some cause and seized the boy by the cheek. The entire side of his face was badly wound- ed and it took Dr. Woods some time to stitch and dress up the wounds. The little boy is doing as well as can be expected and the dog was promptly dispatched to another world by a rifle ball. : Forest fires are getting in their destruciive work and in all directions it has only been by the most heroic work that adjacent farm buildings have been saved. At Boalsburg all of the citizens turned in and by working diligently were able to save the buildings along the foot of the mountain which were in great danger for several days. The fences on the Judge Burchfield farm were burntand vnless rain comes soon the damage will be irreparable. Spring Mills. Quite a number of the K. G. E. left here on Monday last, to attend the meeting of the Grand Castle at Johnstown. The bicycle fever seems to have had its day. Formerly a dozen could be seen on the pike most any time, now rarely any. What will be the next craze ? Last week Mr. Corman had erected a very substantial garden fence from his store to the stable—a decided improvement over the old rickety affair that was there previously. Very dry in this valley just now the soil is parched and sun baked, and in some locali- ties almost as hard as stone. Garden making isnot an easy or pleasant operation in con- sequence. Wm. Pealer is very much annoyed at the non-arrival of his steel roofing, which should have been here last month. Of course little or nothing can be done in the interior until the buildings are under cover. Mr. Bilger has one of the abutments for the new $6,000 bridge over Sinking creek about finished. It isa very massive piece of work and looks as if it would stand for about six ages. Mr. Bilger evidently understands his business. Miss Alma Corman, who met with a very serious accident a week or ten days since, by atin sign falling down, a corner of which penetrated one of her eyes,is improving slow- ly. Her physician thinks that the sightis not destroyed, but evidently somewhat im- paired. C. A. Krape has now his store and post of- fice building completed and every thing about the premises finished in the best possi- ble manner. The interior is fitted up with modern improvements and all the necessary arrangements and conveniences for the car- riers to assort and distribute the mail for their respective routes, also a massive oak case with letter boxes nearly numbered, .and alarge window for general delivery. This department is on the north side of the room, leaving a wide, clear entrance to the shoe de- partment in the eastern end of the building, with all the conveniences and privacy for pa- trons to fit themselves with any footwear they may select. This department is separat- ed from the post office proper, by a heavy, handsome railing with double acting gates at both sides. The room is well lighted from six large windows, while the front is almost all glass, having two large windows witha double door in the centre. The building is two story and sided with steel sheeting in imitation of brick and presents a very attrac- tive appearance. Lemont. The hot, dry weather is burning up the grass. - Miss Martha Everhart is improving slowly of late. Austin Curtin visited a few days in this vicinity. The Tyrone huxster was seen in our town this week. Misses Jennie and Sarah Berger returned home on Monday. Newton Bailey spent part of Tuesday in our town calling on friends. Theo. Boal and family dined at the home of John I. Thompson Tuesday. Mrs. Lavina Wasson and son Arthur Sun- dayed at the home of C. D. Houtz. L. F. Roan and wife spent Wednesday of last week at the home of J. R. Williams. John Stamm, who has been suffering with tonsilitis, is much better at this writing. The U. B. social held at W. H. Houtz’s was a success in every way. They cleared $17. John R. Schreck has returned to his home after taking a few days’ sojourn in our town. Robert Corl and daughter, of Linden Hall, transacted business in our town on Tuesday. H. N. Kerns and son spent a few hours at the county seat on Tuesday, transacting busi- ness. } Edward Graham and wife are taking a few days’ rest while visiting at the home of Jacob Houtz. Armstrong Jacobs was seen on our streets on Saturday and looks no older than he did several years ago. Mrs. Brisbin returned home on Tuesday and appears very feeble as she has to use a crutch to get around. The gypsies have made their appearance again to torment the people by their begging and pretending to tell fortunes. N. L. Dale, the representative of the Key- stone Art Co., of Tyrone, was canvassing this neighborhood the last few days. James Lytle and family visited at the home of Geo. Glenn on Tuesday, and they looks as though farming agrees with them. I. J. Dreese has been making extensive im- provements on the buildings of his farm this spring as they were quite a good deal out of repair. Howard. Forest Pletcher, of Tyrone, spent Sunday with his parent here. Abe Weber made a business trip to Will- iamsport on Wednesday. Mrs. Frank Quigley Sundayed at the home of Miss Corilla Thomas. M. I. Gardner and wife, of Bellefoute, spent Wednesday with his aged parents. Mrs. Samuel Greninger, who has been seriously ill, is no better at this writing. Abe Weber's new house is being completed. When done it will make a beautiful home. Sherman Holter departed for Williamsport on Monday where he will be employed in the silk mill. Misses Anna Muffly, Alice Long and Arthur Long, all of Lock Haven State nor- mal, spent Saturday and Sunday with their parents. ! The social held on May 7th in the Evangelic- al church was a grand success. The church was filled and the entertainment was very good. It netted them the nice little sum of $38.00. Earth Sank After Train Passed. HaAzerroN, Pa., May 11.—A few mo- ments after the early passenger train from this city to Sheppton had passed to-day a large cave-in occurred on the line at Har- wood.

A memorial adopted by the joint consistory of St. John’s and Zion Reformed churches at its annual meeting, May 4th, 1903, Belle- fonte, Pa. Inasmuch as it has pleased our Heavenly Father, through an all-wise yet inscrutable providence, to call away from our midst our brogher and co-laborer Elder Calvin M. Bow- er, an WHEREAS, the ties of christian fellowship, which held us together in a common service are thus lengthened while a sense of irrepara- ble loss is upon us; we deem it right and fit- ting to give expression to our appreciation of his faithful service and in a permanent way memorialize our esteem as well as our sincere grief, and WHEREAS, Brother Bower was a faithful member of St. John’s Reformed church for a period of thirty-two years and during most of these years an office bearer—having filled the offices of deacon and elder, and WHEREAS, for the space of seventeen years he served without interruption as secretary of the consistory of St. John’s church and of the joint consistory of St. John’s and Zion churches, be it therefore Resolved, That while we bow in humble submission to the will of Him ‘‘who doeth all things well,” we believe that his faithful service here has fitted him to enjoy the high- er service with Christ in the Paradise of God. Resolved, That we gratefully make record of his devotion to his Savior and to the church in which he loved to worship, and that in his taking away we hear the loving father call- ing us to more earnest service in His king- dom among men. : Resolved, That we tender our heartfelt sympathy to the bereaved family, commend- ing them to the love of God, whose everlast- ing arms are alway ready to sustain. Resolved, That a copy of this memorial be sent to the widow of eur departed brother and be published in the papers of our town | and in the Reformed Church Messenger. (Signed) AMBROSE M.

Mr. Klein has been a London critic for thirty years and his rec. ollections run far back. It was in 1887 that Mr. Klein and Sir Augustus Harris talked over the possibility of engaging Jean de Reszke for opera for London. Together they went to Paris and breakfasted with M. and Mme. Edouard de Reszke, including Jean, “then a lively bachelor of less than forty.” Jean de Reszke told Mr. Klein how it came about that he began as a bary- tone. New Advertisements.
