Mifflin Snyder is home at State College for a few days’ rest from his arduous duties ab Oak Grove. Alfred Bowersox, one of our successful school teachers, spent Sunday with friends at Fairbrook. Hon. J. T. McCormick, who has been hous- ed up for the past ten days, is able to be along the line again. Messrs Robb and Garver, of Tyrone,in care of Ellis Lytle were looking up surveys in the barrens this week. J. G. Heberling and wife, Mrs. J. R. Smith and Mrs. C. H. Struble are visiting relatives in Altoona this week. Sherid Moore, of Moorsville, was circulat- ing among the farmers on Wednesday in quest of cattle and sheep. S. M. Bell, with his wagon loaded brimful of Grand Union goods, was in town last Fri- day supplying his many customers. Mrs. Esther Rider, who has been confined to her room for the last four months with a broken thigh is able to be about again. She is going to Denver, Col., soon. While out driving last Saturday evening Miss Sadie Goss had her nose broken in a peculiar manner, Dr. Wood adjusted the fracture and it is mending properly. J. C. Deal, a graduate of Gettysburg, has been elected principal of the Ferguson town- ship high school. Harry Walker for the Oak Grove school and Pine Hall is yet to be sup- plied. The new roller mill at Struble is completed and running on full time. Mr. Corl bas al- ready gained a reputation as a first class flour maker and the mill has a capacity of forty barrels a day. Mr. and Mrs. C. M. Fry, of Altoona, who were sight seeing in New York city last week are this week visiting friends in and about State College where Mrs. Fry was at one time in the telephone exchange. Miss Myrtle Gray, who was one of the pic- nickers at Hunter’s park last Saturday nar” rowly escaped a watery grave. While boat- ing she fell into the water and had gone down the second time when she was rescued. Col. J. C. Sowers, of State College, got a working spell on last week, and while assist- ing Major Stuart haul oats, fell off the wagon and sprained his left leg, which is causing him to keep down a big arm chair. Mr. and Mrs. Adam Blazer are mourning the death of their little three year old daugh- ter Minnie. She died on Sunday from con- vulsions and interment was made on Tuesday in Boalsburg with Rev, A. A. Black officiat- ing. Will Keller and his family who moved temporarily to Pittsburg last spring, have re- turned. Mr. Keller has been elected to teach the graded school here, a position he has fill- ed several terms very acceptably to the pa- trons and pupils. J. C. Neidigh, a brakeman on the middle division, is home nursing a sprained ankle which he got jumping from a treight wreck near Harrisburg last week. The engineer was killed, but Mr. Neidigh escaped with only a few bruises. Miss Maggie Neidigh was brought home Saturday from the German hospital in Phila- delphia. After a thorough examination Dr, Deaver decided thatan operation was un- necessary and sent her home. On Thursday she was taken to Bellefonte to consult Drs Locke but we have not heard his verdict. George Smith, who is employed in the shops at Altoona, is suffering with a badly injured eye. A piece of cinder recently struck him in the eye with such force that it knocked him into the elevator and bruised him badly. He came down on Wednesday but it is very likely that he will lose the sight of his eye. Landlord Randolph is making extensive improvements on the St. Elmo hotel. . The interior has been thoroughly renovated and supplied with new furniture. The exterior has been beautified with fresh paint until it presents a very attractive appearance and several new hydrants have been placed in the house and barn. It was a jolly camping party that Harry McCracken chaperoned last week. On Wed- nesday morning of last week a merry crowd of young people started from the Gladesin their carriages for a three days’ outing down Penns valley. Their objective point was Penns cave, and they returned home by the way of State College where they spent the second night. : Dr. Marion Chadman, of Lancaster, visited at the home of his cousin Hon. J. W. Kepler, the beginning of the week. Dr. Chadman was born and raised at the old Kepler home and after finishing at the Academy attended college and medical school. In addition toa good practice in Lancaster he is interested in mines near Cesson, where he and his family are spending their vacation. From there he came here to visit the home of his boyhood and it is with much pleasure that we note his success. Snakes are unusually plentiful this season. Last week Wm. A. Tanyer killed a rattler over three feet long on which were ten rat- tles. Mrs. William McClellan has thus far killed half a dozen of the venomous reptiles in her yard and one day recently while Miss Estella Heberling was making the fire in the cook stove for the evening meal she reached into the chip basket and feeling something cold looked and behold! there was a big snake. ‘It was of the spotted house snake va- riety and measured three feet. On last Thursday evening a very pleasant surprise party took place at the home of Wil- liam Close, at Oak Hall. It was the occasion of Mrs. Close’s 54th birthday and the party was arranged by some of her neighbors and friends. Mr. Close was in the secret and the success of the party was largely due to his good management. It was a perfect surprise to the hostess and she frankly confessed that she had been beaten for once in her life. Early in the evening she had been decoyed upstairs by several of her friends who wish- ed to inspect her collection of splendid quilts. Upon her return she was completely dumb- founded to find her house full of guests and a perfect feast with them. She immediately proceeded though to help them have a good time and they certainly enjoyed her birth- day. Mrs. Close wasa daughter of the late Philip Benner and she now presides over one of the most comfortable homes in Centre county. She is the mother of four children and is a very excellent woman, Spring Mills. Mrs. W. B. Smith left on Tuesday last, on a week or ten days’ visit to her parents at Port Matilda. Misses Bertha and Florida Duck, after an absence of nearly three months, returned home on Tuesday last. Nearly all the rooms in the popular board- ing house of C. E. Zeigler on the ‘hill’ are occupied. He has about twenty guests; quite a number are Philadelphians. The Odd Fellows organized a lodge here about two months since, with 23 members. At present they have a membership of 35 and the applications now under consideration will keep them busy with initiations for some time. The lodge is rapidly growing in favor. Some parties here say that when their po- tatoes were taken from the ground, apparent- ly they were sound as a dollar, but after be- ing in the bins a short time decayed rapidly. In a few cases—low localities especially— when the potatoes were pulled up many of them were found to be worthless. M. T. Duck has purchased all the machin- ery and stock of the roofing and spouting es- tablishment located here and operated by John Suavely, and will continue the business on amore extended scale in the same build- ing. Mr. Snavely is engaged in other enter- prises and could not give the business proper attention and consequently disposed of it and, fortunately, to an expert mechanic and a polished gentleman. The huckleberry business has become quite an institution. Blackberries seem to be a drug as there is no particular sale for them. But huckleberries are in great demand. Merchant O. T. Corman has agents in the monntains every day purchasing from the pickers all they ean obtain, and of course ships immense quantities daily. Mr. Corman informed me that notwithstanding his large collections of berries he was still short in fill- ing his orders.

Everyeony's “Bears’.—Dame Fortune seems to smile on the eftorts of the young men who are at the helm of Everybody's Magazine, They have scored a third magazine “beat’’ in the September number, with a character study of Joseph Pualit- zer, who, at the moment, is the most conspicuous personality before the American public. Their first “scoop” was an article on Thomas Wallace Russell and the Irish Land Bill, in June, when everyone was talking of the new era for Ireland. The August issue was on the newstands a few days after the Pope’s death with an article, by Marion Crawford, on ‘Pope Leo’s Successor.” Ii was the expression on the subject of the man best fitted to give the facts, and the degree to which it was quoted in the newspapers show the value set upon it by men who are the real jndges of time" liness. The article on Joseph Pulitzer is peculiarly il- luminative of the man’s character and his ideals of newspaper making. In the light of his present extraordinary endowment of a College of Journal- ism at Columbia, it affords an interesting index to the line of thought of which that is the culmina- tion. Joseph McCulloch, of the St. Louis Globe-Demo- crat, once defined great editing as the art of knowing what would happen two months in ad- vance, and having the best man on the spot to write it. Recent issues of Everybody's Magazine come nearer filling this definition than anything else in current magazine making. It also illustrates the theory of the publishers that timeliness is as im- portant in a magazine as in a newspaper. ——Prof. Grant Smith, of Clearfield, has been made principal of the government schools at Sitka, Alaska, and has already started for his new field of work.
