The Word Has Gome Out.
Realizing the futility of trying to cram
an unsatisfactory ticket down the throats
of the self-respecting Republicans of Cen-
tre county the machine, which Judge
LOVE has been trying to build up for the
past ten years and only got into working
order after the death of former Governor
HASTINGS, has sent out word to “let
everything go but save LovE and Wom-
ELSDORF.’”’
While it was snspected at the time
LAMB, KNISELY and HARSHBERGER were |
put on the ticket that they were to be used
merely as trading stools no one dreamed
that the game would be revealed this early
in the campaign. The movement to save
LovE is already heing launched by his
closest friends. They understand that
there is an insurmountable sentiment
against him in the county ; one thas noth-
ing but most desperate conniving will have
any hope of overcoming. His ten years of
attempts to play party boss, his ready-
made decision on the notorions school ap-
propriation case, his recent granting of
license to a man who dared not apply for
it before the Clearfield county courts, his
raling that made the useless contest for
sheriff against CroNISTER possible and
piled hundreds of dollars of costs on the
county, his light sentences of men who
killed others in cold blood, his severe sen-
tences of men who have committed less
heinous crimes and his appointment to
office of men who have used their little
authority to ride rough-shod over others
at every opportunity have all heen creas-
ing and moulding public sentiment into a
mighty wave thas is rolling all over Centre
county and demands that he must vacate
the office the dignity of which he has not
preserved.
This is the signal of alarm to Judge
Love's closest friends and at its first warn-
ing they have sent out the word to ‘save
Love,” no matter what becomes of the
rest.
The word to ‘save WOMELSDORF” is
said to have come from Harrisburg and,
indirectly, from Senator PENROSE. No
one knows better than this psendo-states-
man of the QUAY manufacture what Won-
ELSDORF did against Governor HASTINGS
when he was in the Legislature before and
it would be very natural for PENROSE to
wish him back for the next session when is
is expected he will be needed. As to
WOMELSDORF’S habit of looking out for
himself we need nos say anything. There
are too many Republicans in Centre coun-
ty who have been victims of his political
deals, who know mote than we could pos-
sibly tell, for us to waste time on that.
The word to ‘‘save WOMELSDORF’’ comes
80 soon after the boasts of ‘‘watch Wom-
ELSDORF’S vote in Philipsburg and
Rush’? that there can be only one conclu-
sion and that, Mr. KNISELY is to be
slaughtered in particular and Mr. LAMB
and Mr. HARSHBERGER in general. They
are the three who are to immolate them-
selves in order that LOVE way be re-eleot-
ed and rule their party for ten years more
and WOMELSDORF may continue to cus
and slash his way into office.
——————
——Col. Ep. IRVIN will bave to find a
better reason for voting for ROOSEVELT
than he gave here last week, before he
convinces the voters of the 34th senatorial
district that he goes deep enough into
things] to make him a desirable man ‘to
represent them in the upper branch of the
Legislature. .
Selfish but not Candid.
Senator PENROSE, chairman of the Re-
publican State committee, has addressed a
| circular to all the manufacturers of the
State urging them to contribute to the Re-
publican campaign fund. The reason he
assigns for this intrusion into their affairs
iy that funds are needed to save a number
of Congress districts from the Demoorats.
The preservation of the tariff is involved,
he assures them, and for that reason they
ought to create a campaign fand adequate
to effect a complete debauchery of the
ballot, and a reversal of the present condi-
tion of public sentiment in Pennsylvania.
If things continue as at present, Senator
PENROSE declares, inferentially, the Demo-
crats will carry eight or ten districts, which
will give them a majority of the House.
The public, especially the Democratic
people, ought to be grateful to Senator
PENROSE for this insight into the political
situation as it appears to him. Of course
he is not altogether candid with his cor-
respondents and he only lets them know
half the danger that menaces the tariff
pensioners, though it may be assumed that
he exaggerates the necessity for money.
The assessment upon federal, state and
municipal officers will provide vastly more
money than can possibly be expended in
legitimate campaign expenses. It is said
that Philadelphia alone will contribute
$150,000 and Pittsburg half as much more.
It may be assumed therefore, that Senator
PENROSE wants to provide a considerable
amount for graft and hopes that the manu-
facturers will provide the pecessary funds
and the assessment money will serve for
division among the machine managers.
But Senator PENROSE is not entirely
candid in his circular to the manufacturers
with respect to the probabilities of Demo-
cratic gains in the Pennsylvania congres-
sional delegation, or the chances of the
political complexion of the next House of
Representatives. = If he had been he would
have said frankly that no matter what
happens in Pennsylvania the next Con-
grese will be Democratic by a considerable
majority, that in this State that party is
likely to carry ten to twelve Congress dis-
tricts rather than eight or ten and that
there are no possible chances of stopping
that result.
Still, if the manufacturers of Pennsylvania
want to enrich the Republican machine
without in the least benefiting themselves
it is their privilege to do so.
We Have Again. Sheltered a Notable
Gathering.
The first annnal meeting of the Farm-
ers’ Normal Institute of Pennsylvania held
this week as State College and Bellefonte
has been a success in every sense of the
word. Almost every county in the State
is represented and the lecturers and in-
structors are men of authority and reputa-
tion. The fundamental purpose of the
institute is to bring together all the speak-
ers who will address Farmers’ Institutes
this winter for the discussion of means of
placing the East on a competing basis with
the West in agrionltural pursmits. So
long has our State yielded riches apart
from her farm lands that it has not been
thought necessary to give agriculture the
attention it has received in States where it
is necessarily the chief pursuit, although
perhaps no other State bas as many and
good authorities on this subject as has our
own. In last week’s issue of this paper.a
full program of the sessions to be was pub-
lished asd elsewhere in today’s paper is
mention of them. It would have been well
worth the while of every farmer to have
attended, for much enthusiasm and knowl-
edge would have been gained, and, apart
from the valuable instruction, the evening
addresses were most entertaining and em-
braced subjects of interest to everyone.
When the best is brought free to our very
doors it behooves us to avail onrselves and
yet did we? In the midst ofa pouring
rain, on Wednesday night W. G. Johnston,
editor of the American Agriculturist and T.
D. Harman, editor of the National Stockman
and Farmer, lecturing in the court house,
made abandoned farms so bloom, straw-
berries to grow out of ash heaps and the
whole face of nature to smile through well
applied instruction and the faces of their
audience to laugh through well applied
jokes. The need of enlisting the interest
and co-operation of women, as important
factors in institute work, was urged by Mr.
Johnson.
The large attendance of prominent men
interested in agriculture, able instructors
and enthusiasm mark this as one of the
most important meetings in the interest of
agriculture ever held in this county.
Bleody Riot.
HUNTINGDON, Oct. 10.—A general riot
occurred among Italians at the Pemberton
stone quarries, I5 miles west of here, yes:
terday, which was precipitated by a fight
over a distribution of whiskey. Revolvers,
clubs and stones were the weapons used.
One of the combatants was shot and
killed outright, another who was shot
cannot live, a third is dying in jail here
from a fractured skull and internal in-
juries.
A fourth is in jail, who is alieged to have
fired one of the fatal shots, and several
more of the arrested parties were brought
here on a late train last night.
Funeral of Bartholdl.
PARIs, Oct. 6.—The funeral of Bartholdi
the sculptor, who died on Tuesday, hase
been fixed for Friday morning. President
Loubet and Ambassador Porter "were
among the many distinguished persons
who have called at the former residence of
the deceased. The insignia of the Legion of
Honor has been placed on the body. A
namber of artists and former students of
Bartholdi alternate in their attendance
at the bier. The Alsatian society will
drape Bartholdi’s principal statues on the
day of the funeral.

Bloody Battle Now
Raging,
MUKDEN, Oct. 11.—11 p. =. 2A hioody
battle is now raging about six miles north
of Yentai railroad station. The Japanese on
Sunday fell back along the whole fron
and the Russian advance guards crossed the
Schili river, about half way between Muk-
den and Liao Yang, and came within three
miles of Yentai, but vesterday the Japan-
ese received strong reinforcements of infan-
try and artillery and vot only held their
position but even assumed the offensive.
The fighting lasted the entire day and
night. The Japanese directed their
artillery fire with great skill and searched
the Ruesian positions so fiercely that the
Russians fell back north of she Schili river,
and engaged the Japanese two miles south
of it. A terrific artillery engagement is
proceeding along the entire front. The
result of the battle is still undecided.
MUKDEN, Oct. 11.—7:45 m.—A
Russian correspondent telegraphs as fol-
lows: *‘I have seen a number of the wonnd-
ed who have heen sent back from the
front. It is impossible at present to enter
into the details of the operations on foot,
but the men interviewed are infinitely
better spirited than were those who were
wounded when we were retreating. Every-
one is confident and the men are anxious
to finish the war in order to get back home.
None of them, however, has any idea of
going home except as victors. We have
enough ‘troops and the one determination
of officers and men is to wipe out the Japan-
ese.
MUKDEN, Oct. 12.—2:40 p. m.—Stab-
born fighting ie still in progress this being
the third day of the engagement. If is
impossible at this time to say what bas
been accomplished.
Hospital trains are continually arriving
from the south. The wounded are being
sent farther north. A dressing station has
been established on the railway platform
here, where nurses and Surgeons give
prompt attention to the most urgens cases
before the train proceeds.
The Phipp’s Settlement.
Millionaire's Wife Gets $1,000,000, but not Custody
of Children.
PITTSBURG, Oct. 6.—A business man of
Pittsburg who was closely connected with
the Phipps case has made the announce-
ment today that the terms of settlement
between Mr. Phipps and his wife were as
follows :
Mrs. Phipps received $1,000,000, with
the distinct understanding that she for-
feits $500,000 if she marries again. Mrs.
Phipps does not get the custody of the
children. They are and will be under the
direct care -of one in the employ of Mr.
Phipps. If Mrs. Phipps agrees to live in
Denver she can have the children under her
own roof, but under Mr. Phipps’ care, for
six months of the year, but if she refuses
to live in Denver she can have them bus
two different months in each year.
She has not yet decided what she will do
in regard to the children, hut she will an-
nounce her decision when one month has
elapsed since the time the children left
Denver.
Mrs. Phipps Not to Wed.
NEW YOEK, Oct. 6.—Mirs.’ Genevieve C.
Phipps, the divorced wife of Lawrence C.
Phipps, the . Pittshurg multi-millionaire,
will not marry A. Hart McKee, according
to a statement issued through ber attor-
ney, James M. Beck.
Mrs. Phipps is now in New York with
her children. She has not been given the
custody of the children. Her husband’s
employes have obarge of them. Mrs:
Phipps is merely allowed to be near them
This privilege she will have once.a months
Battleship Georgia Launched.
BATH, Me., Oct. 11.—The largest vessel
ever built in Maine, the twin screw first
class battleship Georgia, was launched from
the Bath Iron works today. As she started
from the ways she was christened with
champagne by Stella Tate, of Georgia,
daughter of the late Major William Tate,
and sister of Congressman F. Carter Tate.
Naval officers aud officials of the federal
and state governments, of Maine and Geor-
gia, witnessed the launching. The weath-
er was not wholly favorable, a driz-
zling rain having prevailed during the
forenoon. The sky began clearing, how-
ever, ashort time before the launching.
A Mild Winter.
For years Abraham St¢rausser, of Blooms-
burg bas made a study of the weather,
winds, and the moon to such an extent
thas he has become a successful weather
prognosticator. For years he has foretold
what the coming seasons would be like
and it is seldom thas his prophecy has beeo
wrong. Strausser says that the winter is
regulated by the wind on the 29th of Sep-
tember. When the wind is from the north
the winter will be long and cold. When it
is from the east there will be a great deal
of snow. When the winds are variable
that the winter will be open and sloppy,
and wind from the south and west indicate
a mild winter. The wind on Tharsday,
came continually from the south and west
without a particle of variation, and you
can pat it down that we will have a mild
winter, with little snow. There will be
no sleighing before Christmas. Last year
the wind blew directly from the north and
the winter was severe and long. Strausser
claims he has not missed foretelling the
weather for many years.
Bees Clear a Battlefield.
Over 100,000 honey bees were killed dar-
ing the fire at the Eureka Paper Mills, in
Bridgeport, the other day. As soon as the
smoke had rolled away and the charred
remnants of their homes had cooled the
little insects, huwau-like, set to work
cleaning up. Apparently, an ambulance
corps was formed, numbering several han-
dred bees. These began getting ous of the
way their dead comrades, many of them
killed by stung firemen, and the way they
worked suggested the work that must be
going'on daily on the Russo-Jap battle-
fields. Each bee tackled a dead one and
struggled away with it, and as the field was
strewn with thousands, they have been
employed the past few days.
Tne Horseshoe as a Mascot.
The superstition that associates the
horseshoe with good luck is very old. Is
is said to prevail not only among English
speaking people, bus in all races of Europe
and Asia. Antiquaries are undecided
whether its origin has to do with the ma-
terial from whioh the horseshoe is made or
with its shape. Some writers on this sub-
ject have surmised that the lucky qualities
attributed to the horseshoe were derived
from its fancied resemblance to the halo
pictured abouts the heads of saints, but
shis connection is highly improbable, as it
is known that the superstition certainly
antedates Christianity.
Sclemce at State College Supported
By the Federal Government,
The bureau of animal industry of the U.
8S. Department of Agriculture has assigned
one thousand dollars of the recent congres-
sional appropriation for experiments in an-
imal breeding and feeding to the co-opera-
tive investments with the respiration cal-
orimeter now in progress at The Penusyl-
vania Station. Plans have been made for
an investigation upon the influence of age
and individoality npon the metabolism of
cattle and two full-blood yearling steers,
one an Aberdeen Angus and one a Jersey,
have been purchased for use in the investi-
gation. y :
Careful records will be kept of the food
consumed and the rate of growth of these
animals. In addition, occasional digestion
experiments will he made with them to
determine the assimilability of the food
aud the actual production of lean meat;
while each winter there will be made, with
the aid of the respiration calorimeter, scien-
tifically acourate determinations of the
actual gains of lean meat and fa respec-
tively. It is expected to continue the ex-
periment until the animais are matare. In
this way, it is hoped to secure more exact
knowledge as to the actual points of differ-
ence in the feeding qualities of the dairy
beef types of cattle, while at the same time
valuable data will be obtained as to the
nature and economy of the growth made at
different ages.

— Unusual pride is being shown re-
cently in shop window displays for they
change color and follow styles gay and
varied as the goods they show forth. Lyon
and Company may well be styled the
‘Green Front” for their store now pre-
sents the very fashionable weathered green
finish, so successful a frame and back-
ground for the gay colors in the handsome
and stylish fall dress goods now seen in
their windows. Even though the unpre-
cedentedly early freeze prevented the nsnal
beautiful coloring so admired in autumn
leaves, it evidently did not affect those
now decorating the windows of Yeager &
Davis Daintier,more artistic coloring could
not be magined than Mr. Yeager has chosen
for his October window decorations and
surely he will sell many pairs of shoes for
they look so uncommonly tempting against
the attractive setting.

DEDICATORY SERVICES. — The Bald
Eagle Baptist church at Martha, of which
Rev. A. C. Lathrop is pastor, will soon be
ready for divine services. The remodeled

Davip H.. WEAVER.—Last Friday
morning a gloom of sorrow was again cast
over the people of Pine Grove Mills be-
cause of the very sudden death of David
H. Weaver, a leading merchant and one of
the prominent residents of the town. Tt
was known that Mr. Weaver had not en-
joyed the best of health the past year but
he was always around and able to attend
to his business. Friday morning he went
to his store as usoal but had heen there but
a short time when he was stricken with
paralysis. His wife happened to be near
and went to his assistance, hel ping him to
a sofa. In afew minutes he sank into un-
congciousness, lingering thus until 8 o’clock
that evening when he died.
David Henry Weaver was born March
7th, 1844, on the old Jacob Woomer farm,
north of Pine Grove and was the oldest
son of Jacob and Amelia Woomer, one of
the old pioneer families of Ferguson town-
ship. At the age of 18 he enlisted in Co.
D, 148th P. V. I., Gen. Beaver’s old regi-
ment, in which he served through the war
as a good, true soldier. Dec. 14th, 1870,
he married Miss Alice Ross who, with four
sons, mourn the loss of a good husband
and indulgent father. The sons are Geo.,
of New York; Morris, of Altoona ; Walter,
of Pine Grove, and Foster, at home. The
late Prof. J. A. Weaver, ex-County Super-
intendent of Clearfield county, and Prof.
G. W. Weaver, were also his brothers.
Most of the deceased’s life was spent as a
farmer and stock raiser until thirteen years
ago be turned his attention to the mercan-
tile business in the room on the old and
popular Sample corner, where he establish-
ed himself most successfully asa business
man. He was a most zealous church work-
er and a ruling elder in the Pine Grove
Lutheran church for two terms. He was
Past Commander of Capt. J. O. Campbell
G. T. R. Post, No. 272. The burial took
place Sunday at 10a. m. His pastor, Rev.
C. T. Aikens officiated, and paid a glowing
tribute to the old soldier and citizen. In.
terment was made in the new cemetery,
The pall bearers were J. W. Stewart, W.
F. Heberling, D. W. Miller and David L.
Miller. The following old soldiers were
honorary pall bearers: J. W. Sunday, J.
H. Miller, J. G. Heberling, W. D. Port,
C. B. Hess, Jacob Ayers, L. H. Osman, G.
W. Keichline and W. H. Fry. The funer-
al was one of the largest held in Pine Grove
in years. :

DIED IN THE WEST.—The following
notice, taken from the Osawatomie, Kan-
sas, Graphic, of the 7th inst, is the obitu-
ary of a gentleman who was very well
known in this community:
Nathanial Beek was horn in Center
county, Pa., March 27, 1839. He re-
moved to Tiffin, Obio, in 1874. There
he was married to Miss Agnes Durham.
Two children, Mis. Mary Edith
Jenison, of Louisburg, and Gilford Hayes
Beck, an employe at the asylum, survive
him. In 1884 he came with his family to
Kansas and settled in Ellis county, com-
ing to Osawatomie in 1897. Here he has
been widely known and highly esteemed
for his sterling character. In early life he
became a christian, and, though, diffident,
consecrated himself to Christian service
and became a very useful worker in the
Preshyterian charch. He has perhaps in-
vited more people in Osawatomie to attend
church than any other person in is. He
was constant in season and ont of Season,
urging the claims of his Saviour upon his
fellow men, and none of them but respect-
ed his purpose and the spirit of devotion
be displayed.
This community can ill-affoid to lose
suchva useful, devoted man. Strong in his
convictions and loyal to them; fearless in
approaching men in regard to religion, and
yet with so manifest a kindness that few
took offense. He was liberal in his fellow-
ship and sincerely prayed for the prosperity
of all the churches that honor Chriss.
For many years he held a porition in the
session of the church and made it his
business to promote her welfare.
His last sickness was prolonged and fnll
of suffering. But he was sustained by an
unfaltering faith, and died in the posses-
sion of an assured hope, October 5, 1904.
‘‘Let me die the death of the righteous and
let my last end he like His.’
