BUCHER’s PLANING MILL GUTTED BY

the planing mill of Adam Bucher, Seventh
avenue and Fourth street, Altoona, was
damaged by fire to the extent of $5,000.
The origin of the fire has not yet been de-
until the arrival of his father from Kane,
Thursday morning. Though it was then
thought to be too late an operation was
performed that morning at 11 o'clock by
Drs. Hayes and Robinson. The operation
was successful and the patient seemed to
bave a fair chance for recovery until about
mid-night when a clot of blood formed in
one of the arteries which cansed a collapse
and resulted in his death early Friday
morning. The body was taken to H. P.
Harris’ undertaking establishment where it
was prepared for burial and was shipped to
Kane on the 1:25 train Friday afternoon.

EE SENS
Playing a Poverty Plea.
It had been the intention of the WATCH-
MAN to continue its series of articles set-
ting forth facts in refutation of Judge
LovE’s assertion that he ‘‘is not in poli-
tics,’ but the following paragraph from the
Bellefonte Republican, of last week, de-
mands immediate attention.
Judge Love is a poor man, if he remains on the
bench he will be comparatively r. Off the
bench, in the eight or ten years allotted to him
he can earn more than a competence. He has,
in a doubtful district, at his own great financial
lose, consented to stand for his party.
Accepting the Republican’s statement
that the Judge is ‘‘a poor man’’ let us ask
the natural question : Why ? By the time
he has concluded his present term he will
bave drawn salaries to the amount of $45,-
887.40, or an average of $4,588.74 a year for
ten years. If the Judge bad no other
source of income than his salary it would
seem that he ought to have been able to
save a little out of this handsome emolu-
ment extending over so long a term.
How many of the voters of Centre county
who are now being appealed to on this pov-
erty plea have earned the $588.74 alone,
without mentioning the thousands during
the past ten years.
Of course it is not the intention nor the
desire of the people that their Judge
should live in a fashion beneath the dig-
nity of the position to which they have ele-
vated him, but they are reasonable in the
conviction that no man on an annual salary
of $4,588.74 for ten years has a right to
come to them with a poverty plea for con-
tinuation in the office.
From the Auditor General’s report we
take the following records of payments to
Judge LOVE as verification of the state-
ments made above. Inasmuch as this re-
port shows the business of the fiscal years
ending July 31st of each year and the sal-
aries for 1904 are not given, as yet, it will
be seen that he has a year and a balf to his
credit that is not shown in the sable.

An Absurd Idea.
- The Governor of the Philippine Islands
writes to the President that promising
self-government to she Filipinos would
work the greatest evil and that even dis-
cussing the subject among men and by
newspapers vastly adds to his troubles.
The Governor of the Philippines is a man
of the name of LUKE E. WRIGHT, but we
are unable to recall which of the insane
acylams he was taken from. That he be-
longs in an asylum admits of no doubt,
bowever, for a man who will put his
signature to such an absurdity must be
raving mad or a simple imbecile. It would
be just as reasonable to say that awards for
achievement should be prohibited as to
allege that promising self-government
makes Filipinos troublesome.
From the dawning of reason prizes have
that the pledge of the Democratic platform
to the Filipinos may work harm.
—— With Judge ORVIS on the bench
those who want to attend the trial of cases
in court may rest assured that they will be
treated with courtesy, at least, while they
are in the court room.

paper of pins to a good suit of clothes is
kept for sale. Such a store as this is the
kind the ladies auxiliary of the Bellefonte

most worthy one and, inasmuch as the good
work of the hospital is not confined alone
to Bellefonte, but to all Centre county do-
nations are requested, and will be thank-
fully received from persons ‘everywhere.
And just now, during house-cleaning time,
will be a good time to lay things aside for
the country store. In the line of donations
the ladies desire produce of all kinds, such
as butter and eggs, Irish potatoes and sweet.
potatoes, apples and onions, lima beans and
soup beans, soap of all kinds, cereals and
breakfast foods, canned fruits, jellies, jams,
apple butter, pickles and home-made
candy. Everything imaginable in house-
hold furniture, from a piano down to a fire
shovel will be acceptable. Also brooms,
brushes and buckets. Clothing, shoes and
slippers for men, women and children. |
Clothes brushes, hat brushes and whisks.
Potted plants, flower stands and. flower
pots. Window blinds and curtains of all
kinds; carpets, mattings and rugs. Ladies’
and children’s bats and trimmings. Laces
and silk patohes. Books or magazines and
children’s books, as well as anything and
everything you have to donate. And don’t
be backward about sending isin. Remem-
