livery stable, committed suicide at six

wife and several of the neighbors heard the
report of three shots at that hour, but as
men and boys in that vicinity had been
shooting rats for some time past, they
thought nothing of the occurrence. “At
seven o'clock Mrs. Farley went to the
woodshed to get a washtub, when she was
horrified to find her husband sitting on a
bench dead; with his head banging down
on his breast, and the blood trickling from
a bullet hole over his eye. Aft his feet lay
the revolver with which the deed was com-
mitted. Three chambers were empty, the
marks of the other balls having been dis-
covered in the hoards of the shed. No

It Costs MONEY TO CONDEMN ROADS. —
According to the figures ‘of some one who
has been interested enough to go. into the
matter the condemnation of turn pikes 'in
the county has been costing the public
quite a considerable sum. For instance,
the proceedings. in condemnation of the
pike fiom Centre Hall tothe Mifflin county
line cost $600. It cost $453.06 to condemn
the 3} miles of pike leading from the
Howard dam to Bald Eagle creek; $324.26
for the 2 miles between Bellefonte and
Milesburg; $980.67 for the Bald Eagle Nit-
tany and Brush valley pike running from
the Clinton. county. lie .to.Emanuel Har-
ter’s,in Brush valley. x
. The latest condemnation proceedings on
record have been those of the Bellefonte,

DIRECTIONS FOR HANDLING AND PLANT-
ING TROUT FRY.
For the information of those who secure
and place trout: fry in our public streams
the department has issned the following
important instructions.
stream from: svhich. iti;is expected to catch
them; but in the small spring runs trib-
utary to it.
It does not matter how small the spring
runs may be—the smaller the better, as the
insects are apt to be more easily obtainable.
If the rans tributary to the main stream
be as large as the ordinary trout stream,
plant the fry in the eddies, never in the
fast running water.
Never under any circumstances empty a
whole can of trout fry or even a half a can
in one spot.
It is important that the temperature of
the water in the creek should be as low or
lower than the temperature of the water in
the can. If the temperature of the water
in the creek is higher than tbat in the can,
the two must be equalized by partly empty-
ing the can and refilling with water from
she stream.
‘Never under any circumstances use pump.
water in cans containing trout fry—it has
no areation. ' Hydrant water should also
.be avoided, if possible, asthe areation is
not much better.
+ It in transporting from the railroad sta-
tion to the creek the trout fry show signs
of distress use ice and areate by dipping
the water from the can by a dipper and let
2 Jai ieile again from a height of a couple
of feet. ;
Trout fry should be pianted early in the
year, March, April and the early part of
Muy are the best.

by application to the Department of

ANDREW JACKSON GRAHAM.—In the
death of Andrew Jackson Graham, which
occurred at Baflalo, N. Y., early Tuesday
morning, Philipsburg has lost one of her
foremost citizens and Centre county a man
whose polished manner and unswaying
loyalty to his friends will keep his memory
dear in many hearts. For several years he
had been in poor health and receiving lit-
tle relief he was finally persuaded by the
Laflin and Rand Powder Co., to go to
Buffalo and enter Dr. Pierce’s sanitarium.
Four weeks ago he left his home and little
was heard of him afterwards, until his wife,
fearing that he was not doing as well as
bad been hoped, went to him; only to find
that he had been failing continually since
| bie arrival there. His trouble was kidney
disease and while a cure seemed impossible
it was hoped that his life could be pro-
longed.
Mr. Graham was born in New York State
64 years ago. At the close of the Civil war
in which he served as one of the famous
‘‘Buck-tail’’ regiment he located in Phil-
ipsburg, where he has been identified with
the mercantile business ever since. He was
the senior member of the hardware firm of
Graham, Herd & Co., and was actively en-
:gaged in the business until a few years ago
when he retired to become the representative
of the Laflin, Rand Powder Co. in this dis-
trict. The business he built up in explo-
gives wae phenomenal, but that was not
remarkable when the nature of the man is
taken into consideration.
He was married to Miss Margaret Mor-
rison, who survives him; their only son,
Samuel, having been killed while in the
act of photographing tbe blowing of a
stump with dynamite three years ago. Of
his family the following brothers and sis-
ters survive : Mrs. Jennie Adams, now
living in Jamestown, N. Y., and Mrs. Hill,
of Illinois, Edwin, of Sinnemahoning,
Sylvester and Matthew, of North Dakota,
Harvey, of Illinois, William, of Texas, and
Charles, residing in one of the western
‘States. x toe
Tall and distinguished: :in ‘appearance
Mr. Graham commanded attention wher-
ever he appeared and his great, warm hears,
sympathetic nature and constant manhood
endeared him to every acquaintance. He
was public spirited in all things and was
interested in his fellows so far that the lit-
tle children romping on the streets and the
infirm and distressed in their sick rooms
appealed to him even in the midst of most
trying business engagements. Philipsburg
rarely made a move that ‘‘Uncle Jack’
Graham wasn’t prominent in and we can
appreciate the feeling of sadness that has
fallen over that town, because such men
are rare.
Politically Mr. Graham was one of the
Democratic leaders of Centre county. He
steadfastly declined office himself, other
than to take a good citizen’s part in the
municipal affairs of his home town, but be
was a power in the councils of the party
and a friend who could always be relied

THE SONG OF LIFE.
"Tis a wonderful piece of music, -
Of time’s great concert a part,
As the master hand of Destiny plays
' On the chords of the human heart.
There are ringing peals of laughter,
There are echoes of childish glee
With the pure’joy of living a life « *
Untrammeled, happy and free. :
And it melts to a tender cadence.
. As the years are gliding by,
Into a soft mysterious trill
Between a song and a sigh.
It swells to a gladsome lullaby,
Then sinks to a gentle croon.
And a note that tells of anxious care
Swells the music all too soon,
By and by a sound of discord,
Is heard in that wonderous strain,
Like the wail of a soul in‘anguish
Or the cry ot a heart in pain,’
But it sinks to a sad, sad quaver
Like the moan of a spirit crushed
As Destiny drops the heart strings
And the song is forever hushed.
