Some of the guns were quite valuable and the loss is a heavy one to Henry, as the thieves took none but the best oues. They got in by cutting the glass at the lock, then hoisted the window. C. Baliock, of Milesburg, is walking with a decided limp caused hy having his leg caught and badly cut in a. shaper at his swing factory a few days ago. Oa Mouday morning John Huff met with an accident on the same machine. He had the fingers of his left hand caught and mangled in such a way that the flesh bung in shreds from the bones. Thieves pried open a window in Sourbeck’s confectionery last Thursday evening and carried off 400 nickle cigars and several boxes of Huyler’s candies.

Mr. Sourbeck has a pretty well grounded suspicion as to who the parties are and is running them down now. ——L. ——Easter services in the Bellefonte churches were about as usual. The weath- er was s0 bad as to make a display of femi- nine finery out of the question,consequent- ly all the interest centred in the real serv- ices of the day. All of the choirs rendered Easter music both morning aud evening, and some of the numbers were exceptional- ly good. The Presbyterians followed their usual custom of having their evening serv- ice one eutirely of song. My, WHAT A FARE—Uncle Jack Griest is nothing i§ not original. He has been successful in buoeiness, politics and——we were going to say religion, but that had better he held up for closer investigation. He has done many things to win public ap- probation, but it remained for Monday,the fourth day of April, in the year of our Lord, 1904, to explode the biggest venture ever undertaken by the Wanamaker of Unionville. He arrived in town on the 1:25 train that day and was no sooner off the cars thana great hub-bub was created about his losing a bank book containing $1200.00 in bank notes, checks and notes. Trainmen were telegraphed to all along the line, banks were ordered not to pay checks, the local police force and all the amateur detectives were called into requisition while Uncle Jack acted as if Sam Diehl wounld bave to take care of him hereafter. The manner in which he explained to the inquisitive just bow he had buttoned the valuables in the inside pocket of his vest, and felt them several times while on the train just to be sure they were there, was most graphic. In fact so fine did he have it down that he remembered that it was while the train whirled past Blair Alexander’s chicken coop he felt first for it ; then just as they passed Lehigh Valley car 6610 standing on the siding above the Intersection he felt again and it was there. The last time he felt was just as the train was pulling into Milesburg and the sight of Kohlbeckers made him think of the highwaymen who undertook to hold that place up several years ago. Tt 'was there even then, but after he arrived in Bellefonte it was gone. The fact of the matter is the story was beautifully told and aoted better than Mausfield could have done it, but for once in their lives Bellefonters were wise. It awakened no sympathy or unusual excite- Muent in this burg, because we all remem- bered that it was only a short time ago that Uncle Jack sat in a train and rode the opposite way when he wanted to come here on business asd a man who would do that would leave his bank book locked up in the safe in his store and come to town thinking he had it in his pocket. When he got back to Unionville that evening he found the book just where he bad put it in the safe. a od A Lirrne Boy KILLED AT HUBLERS- BURG.—A most distressing accident oc- curred at Hublershurg shortly before noon on Tuesday in which William, the eleven year old son of Mr. and Mis. George F. Hoy, lost his life. To make the affair all the sadder the fatality was due to his brother Nevin, who is just two years older, and who is so prostiated by it that he has been unable to tell exactly how it did occur. The two little Hoy boys, with a com- panion; Charles Caruer, were out in a field back of Edward Markle’s stable, shooting birds, Nevin Hoy, who was bandling the gun, had shot one and was reloading for another trial when the weapon was pre- maturely discharged. The load struck Willie near the thigh, taking an upward course and severing the large arterv. With a ory the little fellow sank to the ground and for a moment the other two were panic stricken. It was only a moment, how- ever, for Nevin fell onto his knees and made a pillow of himself for the wounded while Charley Carner ran shouting toward the village for help. Alias and Edward Markle responded to the call and found the boy literally bathed in his life blood. Every effort was made to staunch the flow but he died shortly after being carried to his home. The unfortunate little fellow was the son of George F. Hoy, the Hublershurg merchant. He was a bright, attractive hoy and bis tragic death has thrown a pall over that entire community. He is survived by his parents. two hrothers and a sister. Interment will be made at Hublersburg this morning at 10 o’clock. ooo THE ScHooL BoARD ELECTS MINGLE PRESIDENT.—A¢ a regular meeting of the Bellefonte school hoard on Monday even- Jing Cap’t. A. C. Mingle was chosen presi- dent. It was really the organization of the new board deferred until that time because of the nncertainty as to who would. stand for the position of presiding officer. Mr. Mingle had no opposition, his election baviog been unanimous, quite a compli- ment, since the board is Republican and he is a Democrat. A proposition in which the public will be interested was discussed at some length at the meeting the result being that the president, Col. D. F. Fortney, W. H. Crissman and Hard P. Harris were appoint- ed a committee to investigate and submit plans for remodeling and enlarging the North ward school building. The board deems it necessary to get more 1oom for scholars and has discussed several plans looking to that end. None of them have seemed as practicable as this and it is like- ly it will be carried into execution. If it is there will be an outlay of $10,000, esti- mated, on the North ward building. It will be enlarged and rearranged inside so as to give more 10om and farnish apart- ments, not only for the High school, hut for the ‘“‘mid-way’’ school as well. > ——George, the 4-year-old son of Mis. Myrtle Irvin, of Willowbank street, fell in- to the water at the breast of the old car works dau Tuesday afternoon and narrow- lv escaped drowning. He was playing about there with a companion when he fell in. Being so young he could not help him- self and was carried down stream several bundred feet where his clothes caught in some bushes and held him fast. Meanwhile the other little fellow bad run for help, which arrived just in the nick of time. JosepH STROUSE.—After an illness of stomach and howel troubles that bad its beginning early last fall the venerable Joseph Strouse, a well-known Ferguson township farmer, passed away at his home at Pine Hall on Monday afternoon. He bad improved somewhat recently, bus sev- eral weeks ago he became worse again and it seemed that neither the best medical skill nor the tenderest nursing would pre- vail against the disease. Deceased was of German descent, a truly christian gentleman of simple, frugal habits, whose life was a daily example of good citizenship and charitableness. While of a very retiring disposition be was al- ways very active in matters of public in- terest, in church work and in Democratic politics. Though he never sought prefer- ment he had held almost every local office within the gift of the people of his com- munity. Early in life he became con- nected with the Lutheran church, remain- ing a useful active member to the last. He was born at Springtown, N. J., Jan. 24th, 1839. When only a lad he came to this county with his father, the late Thos. Strouse, who was among a party of settlers to locate about Pine Hall, which was known then as the New Northampton dis- trict. Joseph assisted in clearing the farm that bas been the family homestead ever since. It is one of the landmarks of the community, famous to this day for its prosperous appearance and generous hospi- tality. Forty-one years ago he was mar- ried to Maria Anna Krebs, who survives him with the following children : Wm. F., Washington, D. C.; Thomas, of Balti- more; John, of Linden Hall; Chatles, of Fillmore, and Luther at bome. Their daughter Mrs. Reuben Glenn and one son died several years ago.

He was the respected of all who knew him, a man of unimpeach- able integrity and steadfast in the pursuit of honorable dealings with his fellows. His life had been one that made for the good of the community and its going out is a mat- ter of more than ordinary moment, even though be had attained the ripe old age of 84 years. In church affiliation he was for many years identified with the Reformeds and in politics the family of staunchly Democratic sons he gave to his party is the best testi- monial of his fealty.

Dr. Kirk notified council that at his own expense he had placed a meter on his own residence and would expeot to pay for his water at the meter rates.

A UNIQUE CONTEST FOR THE FARM- ERS.—Various newspapers are offering pianos, orgaus, trips to St. Louis and other prizes to teachers and people of other voca- tions; but here is something for the farm- ers that is not only practical, but valuable to themselves as well as to an institution that is deserving of all the aid it can get. The scheme is the product of the mind of John G. Dubbs, a local implement dealer, and is such a simple oune that it seems strange that no one has thought of it be- fore. He offers to the farmers of Centre county, free, one improved Evans corn planter of the value of about $35.00. As to which one will get it is to be decided in the following way: Each and every farmer who cares to en- ter the contest is to bring two bushels of corn ears to a designated place in Belle- fonte after the crop of 1904 is husked. The one having the largest and best corn is to be given the planter. The three judges who will make the award are to be chosen by the contesting farmers themselves. Af- ter the award is made the corn is to be sold at the highest market price and the proceeds to be donated to the Bellefonte hospital. The plan is a nice one and if the farmers of the county enter into it with the zeal that is expected they will get credit for baving made the largest contribution ever received by the Bellefonte hospital. And this without any more outlay to themselves than the two bushels of corn ears that are put in contest. In return for them they have a chance of winning the $35.00 Evans double row and check row planter. Mr. Dubbs put no restrictions whatever on the manner of raising the corn to be en- tered, though it would make it much more interesting to him if it were all planted with the Evans planter. The only 1eqnire- ment there is is that the corn must be raised during the season of 1904. Take up the contest, farmers. Make it a rousing success. There is plenty of time for you to plant and care for your corn now with a view to winning this useful prize,as well as helping the hospital. rr Qf ener WEDDED AT NITTANY.—On Tuesday, April 5th, a very pretty wedding was solemnized at the home of Mr. Samuel Tweed, of Nittany.
