The Bellefonte Republican and the Bi- tuminous Record, of Philipsburg, are rising, in their ignorance to ask why the Hon. J. W. KEPLER, while a member of the last Legislature, voted against the bill for the increase of salaries for public school teach- ers. Laying aside discussions of the merits of the measure we take the more important one of personal representation. It has always been held that a Represen- tative in the Legislature serves best the in- terests of his constituents when he acts in accordance with their desires, expressed either verbally or hy petition. In this case, no matter what Mr. KEPLER'S own feelings on the bill may have been, he was actuated in voting as he did by a preponderance of letters from representative people in this county urging him to vote against is. He bad no other means of feeling the public pulse and properly decided that be should vote the way most of his constituents urged. While the WATCHMAN was in favor of the passage of the bill it can find nothing but commendation of Mr. KEPLER’S course. It the school teachers of the county were not interested enough in it to properly plead their side of the case then there was nothing left for him to do, but follow the behests of those who were. There would he little use in sending men to the Legislature if they were to vote and act irrespective of the wishes of their con- stituents, and contrary to their best inter- ests and this is the reason that Mr. KEPLER voted as he did, because he has always en- deavored to represent the people of Centre county and not his own ideas and in this c= he took the only course that was open to him. ——The farmers of Centre county who are in favor of spending $121,000,000 an- nually on the War Department and only $5,000,000 for Agriculture, should remem- ber to vote for ROOSEVELT and FAIRBANKS. They are the statesmen who demanded that there should be twenty-four times as much taxes paid for the purpose of getting us in- to tronble as for the betterment of the con- dition of the farmers. Democratic Senatorial Conference. Hon. James Kerr, of Clearfield, was nominated as the Democratic candidate for the Senate in this, the 34th senatorial dis- trict, composed of the counties of Centre, Clinton and Clearfield, at a conference held in the parlors of the Brockerhoff house, Bellefonte, last Saturday morzing at 10 o'clock. The conference was largely attended by representative Democrats of the three coun- ties and more than the ordinary interest and enthusiasm was manifested. The oon- ference was called to order by Geo. W. A. MacDonald, ‘of Lock Haven, who was a substitute conferee for Mr. Bridgeus, of that city. J. C. Meyer, of Bellefonte, was elected chairman of the conference and Dr. G. B. Hennigh, of Clearfield, and W. E. Shaffer, of Renovo, secretaries. The Clinton county conferees had been instructed for ex-Senator W. C. Heinle, of Bellefonte, and the Centre county ocon- ferees, though uninstructed, were favorable to Mr. Heinle’s nomination. Senator Heinle, however, did not deem it expedient to accept the nomination at this time and, immediately upon the organization of the conference arose and in a brief speesh, thanked the Democrats of Clinton and Centre counties for their loyal support, bus said that inasmuch as the Republicans had nominated Col. E. A. Irvin, of Curwens- ville, as their candidate they had thrown down the gauntlet to make Clearfield coun- ty the fighting ground of the district and such being the case be felt that the Demo- cratic candidate should be chosen from that county ; and therefore, he would ask the conference to nominate the Hon. James Kerr, of Clearfield. Mr. MacDonald, of Clinton county, ask- ed if Mr. Kerr would accept the nomina- tion and, upon being assured by the Clear- field delegation that he would, he made a motion that Mr. Kerr be made the nominee and that the secretaries be instructed to cast the ballot. The motion was seconded by Hon. James Schofield and was carried unanimously. Dr. H. W. Buckingham made a brief speech of thanks to the con- ference for giving the nomination to Clear- field county, and especially to Mr. Kerr. Other speeches were made by J. C. Barclay, chairman of the Clearfield county commit- tee ; Cap’t. H. S. Taylor, Geo. W. A. MacDonald, J. C. Meyer, Col. J. L. Spangler, D. F. Fortney, Col. John A. Woodward, John F. Short, and Hon. Jas. Schofield. Mr. Fortney predicted not only the election of Mr. Kerr to the Senate but also that two years from now he would be nominated for Governor. The conferees attending the conference were from Centre county—J. C. Meyer, M. I. Gardner and James Schofield, all of Bellefonte, Clinton county—Geo. W. A. Maec- Donald, Lock Haven ; W. E. Shaffer and D. W. May, Renovo. Clearfield county—Dr. H. W. Baek- ingham, Dr. G. B. Hennigh and Dennis Dempsey, all of Clearfield. Accompanying the Clearfield conferees were John C. Bar- clay, A. M. Bloom, J. D. Connelly and John F. Short, editor of the Clearfield Republican. ——1It is very sweet of the dear old Re- publican to pass the hat for Judge LOVE, but will our contemporary kindly explain how the Judge could he so poor after-bav- ing ten years of office at $4,000.00 per year and picking’ ? Suitable for the Occasion. The Republican campaign of this State is to he opened to-morrow evening with an elaborate display of financial resources. That is to say under the auspices of the Manufacturer’s club a meeting will be held in the Academy of Music of Philadelphia, which will be addressed by former Attor- ney General PHILANDER C. KNox. In the announcement Mr. KNOX is set down as a Senator in Congress. As a matter of fact he isn’t a Senator and that makes him a false pretense. He was appointed Sena- tor hy Governor PENNYPACKER, just as the late Mr. QUAY was appointed Senator by Governor STONE. But QUAY didn’t sit under that appoinament and neither will Knox. The Manufacturer’s club, of Philadel- phia, is the limis of iniquity. Some years ago, when the predatory beneficiaries of the robber tariff, were planning political ocor- ruption on a scale which disgusted the de- cent members of the Union League, those in that organization who were willing to go to any extent formed the Manufactur- er’s club. Since it has been a propaganda of political iniquity. I¢ bas maintained schools for teaching ballot frauds and paid the wages of repeaters and ballot box stuf- fers out of the generous unearned bounties paid to its members through the operations of the tariff. It is the most vicious organi- zation in this or any other christian coun- try. It is eminently fis that the Republican campaign of this year should be opened under such auspices and conditions. The principal orator has been selected with wise discretion, moreover. Having become the lobby agens of a corporation on the floor of the Senate, in violation both of morals and decency, Mr. KNox has the right to speak for the party of trusts and special privi- leges and the fact that he pretends to be a Senator in Congress when he knows he isn’t, if he knows any law at all, empha- sizes his claim to the distinction whioh has been conferred on him, the privilege of opening the campaign of fraud and false pretense. Historic Events in September. In view of the situation at Port Arthur and Liaoyang, it is interesting to note that many historic events connected with the world’s wars bave occurred in the month of September. For instance : Sudan capitulated on September 2nd, 187. The battle of Flodden Field was fought on Septeniber 9th, 1513. Delhi was taken on September 11th, 1858." The battle of Tel-el-Kebir was fought on September 13th, 1882. The battle of the Alma on September 20th, 1854. The battle of Assaye on September rd. Lucknow was relieved on September 25th, 1857. Strasburg was capitulated on September 28th, 1870. The battle of Antietam was fought Sep- tember 17th, 1862. Carlisle Indians-Bucknell Football.

This is a good move as it will not only give the firemen more freedom but will also prevent the carrying out of household furniture, etc., by everybody, which work will be done, whenever it is deemed expedient, by the firemen themselves. fl ——Several weeks ago Mark Hunter, a little son of Mr. and Mrs. Dorsey Hunter, while playing in The Index store, upset a heavy roll of paper which fell on his leg.

It will be a country store to be opened the last week in October in the cafe of Petriken Hall by the Lady Mana- gers of the hospital. The managers of the county fair ask your money to amuse and entertain you next week but these fair managers of the hospital ask your money and goods to help a most worthy charity and although they will take care of your big pumpkins, red apples, good jellies and pies jnst as well as the men, they do not ask only your best but anything —clothes, furnitare, vegetables, groceries, etc., for their store will include more departments than John Wanamaker’s. Don’t go to the city to do your fall shopping or you’ll be sorry when yon see the birgains and styles this store will have. If every one in the county will feel an interest and contribute towards a brilliant opening of this great store, our hospital would be on Easy street for a long time. AN EXCITING EXPERIENCE.—Mr. and Mrs. W. Gross Mingle had an exciting ex- perience Sunday a week ago while cross- ing Nittany mountain. When half way up the mountain an automobile approached them from behind and cansed the horse they were driving to be- come greatly excited. Mrs. Mingle with buggy, ran back to meet the anto and pleaded with them to stop immediately, which they did. The horse in the mean- time was driven to a telephone pole and by the aid of several men who happened by was prevented from running away. The brute became perfectly srazed from fear, repeatedly rearing and striking the pole while standing perfectly erect. But for the protection of the telephone pole the animal could not bave been prevented from getting away, as it was the men were in great danger of life and limb while en- deavoring to pacify the frenzied animal. —— apt THAT CONGREGATIONAL MEETING.—A prolonged session of the congregational meeting in the Presbyterian church on Sun- day morning was to take action on the expe- diency of employing an assistant pastor. A resolution was introduced in effect that an assistant pastor be engaged, but alter a thorough discussion of the question, pro and con; the resolution was voted down. A second resolution was then introduced in effect that it was the sense of the congrega- tion that the pastoral relations ex- isting between the church and the Rev. Dr. Laurie should be dissolved. Another pro- longed discussion followed, after which a secret ballot was taken and when the votes were counted the resurns showed 71 for the resolution and 80 against it. mens eres (A re abet. ~~ BUSHELS OF FisH KILLED,—Persons railroad on Sunday to where Buffalo Run creek empties into Spring creek were greeted with a sight that would pall the heart of any fisherman. The banks of the stream were strewn with dead fish of all sizes. There were trout and suckers galore with a few oat-fish and eels. Those who saw them declare that there were not less than three to four barrels of dead fish along the stream. An investigation re- vealed the fact that the fish were killed by thesulpharous deposits in the old lining of the Bellefonte furnace which, on being re- moved, had been dumped at such a place that some of it rolled into the creek. —— ee fp pa, THE McCoy & LINN FURNACE BLOWN IN.—After an idleness of some months duration the furnace of the McCoy & Linn Iron company is again in blass.. Recently the company received a very nice order for their famous charcoal iron—an order large enough to keep them busy for months to come—and on Monday work was begun to put the plant in shape for immediate oper- ation. So rapidly was the work pushed that the fire was lighted on Wednesday and the first cast was made last night. May the company continue to receive orders suffi- cient to keep the plant in constant opera- tion for years to come. ————— A erent. U. B.

H. Donachy, on Allegheny street, when their daughter, Miss Lera Virginia Donachy, was united in marriage to Mr. Frank Montgomery Derstine, of Altoona. The ceremony was performed at 8:30 o’clock by the Rev. H. C. Holloway, D. D., of the Lutheran church, in the presence of about forty in- vited guests. The bride, arrayed in a gown of cream crepe de chine trimmed with duchess lace and carrying a bouquet of roses, was attended by her sister, Miss Ione Donachy, as bridesmaid. The latter wore a dress of white china silk with hand- painted forget-me-nots. The groom was attended by Mr. E. J. Small, of Philadel- phia, as best man. The ushers were Charles Donaohy and Jesse Derstine. The parlor had been very tastefully dec- orated with palms and roses and as the young couple with their attendants march- ed to the nuptial altar where the minister was in waiting the wedding march by Lohengrin was played by Miss Mand Grieb, of State College. After aun elabor- ate wedding breakfast Mr. and Mrs. Der- stine departed on the 9:53 train for a honeymoon tour which will include many of the eastern cities and seaside resorts after which they will take np their residence in Altoona where the groom, who is a son of Mr. and Mrs. Wm.

Nason at Julian, was the scene of a very pretty wed- ding, Thursday, Sept. 220d, the contract- ing parties being their grandson, James C. Andrews and Miss Elva Meiss. The cere- mony was performed, in the pink parlor precisely at eleven o'clock, by §the groom’s uncle, Squire O. H. Nason assist- ed by Rev. Tallhelm of the United Breth- ren church, in the presence of about seven- ty-five guests. After receiving the con- gratulations and best wishes of their many friends a sumptuous wedding breakfast was served, consisting of all the delicacies that could be had for such a happy occasion. The bride was prettily gowned in cream albatross trimmed with shirrings of white taffeta ribhon and wore the conventional veil of tulle. The rooms were beautifully decorated with flowers. They received many beautifnl and valuable presents. After ashort visit among friends and relatives, the happy couple will go to housekeeping in the home which has heen | newly repaired and furnished for their re- ception. The young people are from promi- nent families of the valley, and we all join in wishing them a long, prosperous and bappy lite.

Keichline a echool teacher has the right to whip a scholar into submission. Such was the verdict given in the case of Mr. Harry Yearick, teacher of the junior grammar school, Bellefonte. On Tuesday Mr. Year- ick requested George Jackson, a fourteen- year-old colored pupil, of rather unruly tendencies, to change seats. Jackson re- fused to do so. Mr. Yearick attempted to compel him to obey when the youngster turned on the teacher, struck and kicked him and tore his clothing, when Mr. Year- ick gave him a thoroughly deserved thrash- ing. Tuesday afternoon Mrs. Jackson, the boy’s mother, had the teacher arrested and the hearing was held before Justice Keich- line Wednesday evening. After hearing all the evidence in the case Mr. Keichline read the law on the subject then gave the boy one of the best talkings to ever heard in a jussice’s court, telling him that he got only what he deserved and acquitting the teacher of all blame. Of course, Mr. Year- ick was discharged. NEW CEMETERY IN Boggs Twp.—Mrs. R. J. Gibbs and daughter, of Milesburg, were in Bellefonte on Tuesday making ar- rangements for the laying out and opening op of the Treziyulny cemetery, a new burying ground in Bogge township on land left to Mrs. Gibbs by the late Mrs. Lavina P. Treziyulny, in accordance with the will of the deceased. The cemetery, which will overlook Milesburg and Bald Eagle valley, will be laid out in a semi-circle and the lots all numbered. It will be a Union cemetery. Though lots will be offered for sale a plot will be reserved in which old soldiers can be buried free of charge. A second lot will also be reserved for the poor. .

C. Robinson to the Bush bouse, in this place, on Tues- days and Saturdays of each week have awakened considerable local interest in the new science which he practices. Of course osteopathy has been a living and progres- sive practice in the larger cities for several years, but like all new things it has taken it considerable time to reach out into the inland districts. From the year book of the school of osteopathy we learn that Dr. Robinson isa recognized graduate of the national school and from testimonials he has received from prominent men and women in Williams- port we are convinced that he is a very sac- cessful practitioner. Expressing it in unprofessional language osteopathy is the science of treatment of diseases of various natures by rubbing or otherwise exercising the portions of the anatomy affected in a way that exoites and promotes a healthy, vigorous action. Medi- cines are not used and while it was primar- ily designed for the correction of deform- ities alone the treatment has been found most effective in other directions. Dr. Robinson may be consulted free of charge at the Bush house on Tuesdays and = Saturdays of each week, where he will be pleased to give any one the advantage of his knowledge and advise them as to whether his treatment will be of any avail. We make this mention of Dr. Robinson entirely without his solicitation and whol- ly because the science he practives has awakened considerable interest elsewhere and when such an opportunity to investi- gate it is offered our people it should be taken advantage of. : . DONATIONS FOR THE HOSPITAL ASKED. —No public appeal has been made recently for donations for the hospital and a num- ber of things are much needed. A response to this appeal of the lady managers if is hoped will come from all parts of the county as the hospital belongs to the coun- ty and not Bellefonte alone and any help, however little, is mnoh appreciated at the present time. The following articles are most needed : Canned vegetables. Canned fruits Cereals. Groceries of any kind. Soap. Sheets, # size. Table linen. Towels. Bath towels. Blankets, § size. Linen stand covers, yards square. Handkerchiefs. Dressing gowns or wrappers for men and women. : : * Slippers, for men and women. THE KARTHAUS FIRE BRICK Co.—An office has been opened in Lock Haven by the Karthaus Fire Brick company, now in process of organization and application has been made for a charter. Arrangements have been made with the New York Cen- tral Railroad company to have one of their engineers locate the necessary switches on the lands of the fire brick company and the plant of the latter will also be located soon. The work of constructing the necessary buildings will then be pushed as rapidly as possible. The plant will be erected at Karthaus where there is already a town with coal operations in progress on land adjacent to that owned by the Karthaus Fire Brick company. This company is composed mostly of Lock Haven and Clin- ton county citizens and their office will be in Lock Haven, which is rapidly becoming a fire brick mauufacturing centre. —— rrr ——The quarterly meeting of the Farm- er’s Mutual Fire Insurance company, of Centre county, was held on Monday.
