PURE WATER A GREAT BLESSING.—
Pure water has always seemed such a lit-
tle blessing to the people of Bellefonte that
it is rather surprising to hear it cited as a
cause for thankfulness by a returning
traveler. Dr. Hafer spent last week in
Punxsutawney and neighboring towns and
as be neared Bellefonte was heard to re-
mark, “Think of the good water we will
have to drink when we reach home.”
With our magnificent spring so prodigal
in its daily supply of delicious water we
are not apt to think ourselves as favored
above other localities, but that we are is
apparent when one fails, in six weeks
travel, to taste water that has not to be
filtered or sterilized, Las been forced to pay
two cents a glass for every drink of pure
water. The value of pure water is appre-
ciated by the Empire Iron and Steel Co., of
Reading, as it employs thirty boys at a
cost of $40 per day to keep the workmen
at the mille supplied with fresh water from
a pearby spring and the general good
health of the employees is attributed large-
ly to the pure spring water.
Some recent experiments that are being
carried out in certain places in New Eng-
land are very interesting not only from a
scientific but a popular standpoint. The
water supply of several large towns was
cut off because of the rapid growth of an
alga which in a few days completely filled
the reservoirs rendering the water unfis for
use. Itis found thas the application of
copper sulphate in the proportion of 1 part.
$0 8,000,000 of water totally cleared the
water and left no disastrous taint. This
discovery is hoped to be of great value in
solving the problem of the impure water
supply for the Panama canal laborers and
farther reports of the experiment are be-
ing watched for with much interest.

Murder at Curwensville.

ed his son Fredman, at about 7 o’clock on
Wednesday evening, of last week, at their
home in Carwensville. The two had been
quarreling in the afternoon, bus the trouble
had quieted down and both went home and
ate their supper together. There was a
quantity of whiskey in the cellar, and after
supper the son went down to get a drink
_| and in doing so accidently upset a bottle.
The elder Sheehan went down the cellar
steps in a towering rage and the quarrel of
the afternoon was resumed, only with more
violence. A few seconds later Mrs. Sheehan,
as ‘well ad several neighbors, beard fiveshots
_| fired in rapid succession.
The police were promptly ‘notified, and
upon arriving at the house at once ‘arrested
the father, who said he did not intend to
kill his son, but only to scare him. He
was kept in the Curwensville lock-up until
the next morning; when he: was taken to
Clearfield and: committed to jail to await
trial on the charge of murder. There was
no’ witness except the murderer himself,
and of ‘course his story ‘is all “in his own
favor. The father, who committed the
awfol crime, is about 50 years of age, and
the son was about 23 years old.
