The Campaign in Progress.
Mayor BERRY, of Chester,the Democratic
candidate for State Treasurer, made two
speeches Jast week and on both occasions
he had every reason to be satisfied with
the resuls. On one of these occasions he
addressed a vast audience at William's
Grove, Cumberland county, where the
Grangers’s picnic was in progress. The day
before his antagonist, Mr. PLUMMER, had
spoken from the same platform, and as one
of the spectators said received a frost thas
was literally painful. Mr. BERRY’S recep-
tion was enthusiastic and his speech ap-
plauded to the echo.
The second speech was at Pen Argyle,
Northampton county, on Saturday evening
and it has been described as an event of ex-
traordinary preparation and enthusiasm.
Thousands of people listened entranced
with his eloquent arraignment of the Ma-
chine; and at the conclusion of the exercises
there was a reception which’ was in reality
an ovation. The keenest interest in the
contest was revealed and hundreds of Re-
publicans gave Mr. BERRY assurance of
their sympathy and support. It was like
an awakening of the old-time spirit in the
famous Tenth Legion. ;
Within a week plans will have been com-
pleted to carry an aggressive campaign in-
to all the sections of the State. Mr. BERRY
will visit every county, if possible, and
speak in at least one place in each. The
local organizations have heen urged to ac-
tivity, moreover, and now that the assess-
ment and registration bave heen completed,
the fall energies of the party rank and file
will be bent to the work of arousing the
conscience and the patriotism of the
people. With an honest vote in the cities,
practically gaaranteed, the outlook is for
an overwhelming Demnoratic victory.
“Bull” Andrews in Command.
‘Bull’ ANDREWS has jome from New
Mexico to save the Pennsylvania machine.
This aunouncement has practically been
made by all the leading newspapers of the
State and is supported by the most sub-
stantial circumstantial evidence. That is
to say ‘‘Bull’’ ANDREWS is actually in
Philadelphia. The moment he arrived he
went into conference with PENROSE, DUR-
HAM and the other ‘‘oriminals masquerad-
ing as the Republican party,’’ andthe
policy of meeting existing political condi:
tions has been chauged since his arrival.
In other words, ‘‘Bull‘‘ ANDREWS has taken
command of the machine craft and he is
going to fight instead: of fool.:
’| a Democrat, ’’the friend of the ‘‘Ball’’ con-
We have the authority ofa Harrisburg
newspaper for the statement that a few
days ago one of the intimate political and
personal friends of Mr. ANDREWS condemn-
ed with much vebemence and great bit-
terness the nomination of Justice STEW-
ART for the Supreme bench by the Repub-
lican committee. ‘STEWART is not a
Republican,’”” the gentleman said, ‘‘and
has no sympathy with that party. He is
tinued, ‘‘and is properly the candidate of
that party. His nomination by the Re-
publicans leaves nothing to contend for in
which the corporations are interested, and
we have nothing to fight for.” In o ther
words, there is nothing through which to
extraot boodle from the corporations.
“If QUAY had lived,”” former Governor
STONE practically alleged the other day,
‘STEWART would not have been the candi-
date.”” “If ANDREWS had been in charge
of the organization,’’ his friend subtantial-
ly declared, *‘‘STEWART would have been
held up before the corporation magnates
as a bogie whose friendship could only be
secured by liberal contributions. It is too
late for that now, of course, but ANDREWS
will devise some means of forcing contribu-
tions from the corporation treasuries and
he will try to restore the machine to
power by force rather than conciliation.
We will see what will be the result.
The Status of the Soldier's Monument
and Curtin Memorial.
We have been informed that definite in-
formation in regard to the progress of the
granite and bronze work for our soldiers’
monument has been received, the present
status being about as follows:
The Cartin statue is completed and is in
the hands of the bronze founders at Provi-
dence, R. I., ready to be cast. The two
end panels, representing ‘‘Peace’”’ and
“War,” are in plaster ready for the cast-
ing. The panels for the pedestal of the
Cartin statue are also finished, with the
exception of about two day’s work on the
third, which represents the passing of a
Pennsylvania Reserve regiment in front of
the Governor. The other two represent
the Governor meeting two soldiers’ orphans
in front of the capitol, with the Scotland
Soldiers’ Orphans’ Industrial school build-
ing in clouds to the left, indicating what
was the thought in the Governor’s mind
which was afterwards worked out to com-
pletion through the legislation of Pennsyl-
vania, after nearly forty years. The third
panel represents the Governor presenting a
flag to the colonel of the regiment.
One of the soldiers’ orphans who has seen
the panel relating to the meeting with the
children, says: ‘‘The panel representing
the soldiers’ orphans is completed in plas-
ter and I am more than pleased with it.
The conception and execution are faunls-
less.”
It may hesaid as to_all the art relating |
to the monument that it has been done hy
one of the most celebrated young sculptors
of the country, W. Clark Noble, who has a
reputation second to none of his age.
The contractor for the granite work says:
‘‘We can commence shipping the granite
by the middle of this month. We shall
want to ship the lower courses first and fol-
low it up, 80 a3 to keep the setters going.
If we can do this regularly, the monument
should be completed by—say November
15th.”
The bronze panels containing the names
of the soldiers have not been cast. Indeed
none of them have yet been arranged, but
the names have heen forwarded so that the
work can go on as soon as the exact num-
ber to be cast is determined. There are
bus twenty panels and there will be in the
neighborhood of 3,500 names. It will re-
quire much crowding, therefore, to get
them all upon the regular panels. = If,
however, this should be impossible, the
main columns of the monument can be
utilized for that purpose. No names which
should go upon the monument will be
omitted, but i6 is important that everyone
interested should co-operate in securing
not only the names but the proper spelling
of them.
In view of the character of the work it is
remarkable that it has progressed as rapid-
ly as it has. Ars work is proverbially slow
and sculptors work only as they are moved
by inspiration. We have been fortunate in
securing a man who worked industrionsly,
even daring the summer.
It will probably be well to take with
some grains of allowance the statement of
the contractor for the granite work thas the
monument will be completed by the 15th
of November. It would nos be at all sur-
prising if it were not finished for a month
later, in view of the enormous labor in-
valved in getting out and wetting up the
immense amount of granite required and
in preparing all the panels containing the
Dames. : :
It has been very difficul$ to carry all the
several parts of work forward at the same
time. - The summer vacation is now so
general that is is very difficult to reach
many persons during the summer time.
For example, Col. McClure has been asked
to write she inscription to go upon the
fourth panel of the Curtin statue and, al-
though the request for him to do so was
sent over two months ago, there is no re-
sponse as yet, doubtless owing to the fact
that he has been ahsent from his home on
hie summer vacation. That, however, isa
-matter very eaeily fixed. Baus, in view of
the number of people and the divers indus- |
tries and interests involved, our people
must exerciee patience and be ready to re-
spond liberally to the appeal for the funds
necessary to complete the monument. The
-association will need for this parpose, in
addition to all that has so far been provid-
ed, from six fo eight thousand dollars.

OLEO TRUST HIT HARD
Profitable Law Breaking Stopped
Pending: Trials at Court.
Pittsburg, Pa., Sept. 4—The most
sweeping and significant victory won
in recent years in the prosecution of
rich dealers in oleomargarine, who,
backed by the packers’ trust in Chi-
cago, have been hard to reach with
any permanent effect, came through an
injunction granted in this city. Judge
Kennedy, in quarter sessions court,
signed decrees restraining 21 accused
dealers in oleomargarine from further
selling that commodity in this county.
It has been the practice of those
dealers in oleomargarine here to go
ahead selling after the indictment has
been found, and it often happens that
many months elapse before the case is
reached, and in the meantime the
profitable offense is continued. But
this injunction prevents any further
sale of the oleomargarine pending the
disposition of the cases already
brought for the offense.
An Open Letter.
Ampeal to the Management of the Centre County
Fair, Grange Picnic and Business
Men’s Picnic.
We, as citizens, having the welfare of
the community at heart, and minifal of
forces which are admittedly inimical to a
high standard of national morality,do here-
by make public appeal to the president, of-
ficers aud committemen having in charge
the sale and granting of privileges at the
coming events that they restrict and pro-
hibit all gambling devices of whatever kind
and also see to it that betting at the horse
racing be strictly excluded.
It is a matter of common knowledge and
sad comment that the condition at Saratoga,
and in a lesser degree at other race tracks
and county fairs throughout the country,
have been a national disgrace and a men-
ace to decency of manners, common thrift
and average morality.
The youthful and the ignorant are with-
out question contaminated and corrupted
by the prevalence of the spirit and practice
of gambling in all forms, often adroitly con-
trived so as to avoid the letter of the law,
but common and equal in their effects;
games not of educative skill and sport, bus
of debilitating hazard and chance.
The mayor of Cleveland,famous for right
doing and fearless decision, has, this sum-
mer, prohibited such abuses at the Grand
Circuit of Ohio, and in our own State, sim-
ilar measures have been taken by State
and county officials to the lasting credit
and fair fame of the locality. May we nos
expect as much from the officers in charge
of our own local events?
Let us, sofar as we can, protect the
youthful, the ignorant and the vicious, who
are so quickly led astray, from the too easy
employment of the worser activities of their
pature and from the formation of habits
which are not profitable to themselves, the
community or the nation, but tend to dis-
‘integrate thrift, honesty, respectability and
the moral health of society.

THE McHUGH HoMICIDE CASE.— The
case of the Commonwealth against Winfield
.| Gregg, Charles and Howard Stewart, who
were held for the alleged muider of Mich-
ael McHugh, proved an absolute fiasco
when heard in court last week; and the only
wonder now is how. the three men were
ever held and allowed to languish in jail
the past four months with no evidence
whatever to connect them with the man’s
death. Had there been anything at all in
the case the WATCHMAN would give a com-
plete account of the trial but as it was our
space is too valnable to give more than a
brief review. r
The case was called for trial Thursday
afternoon and, though the Commonwealth:
wanted to try the three men together
sounsel for the defendants demanded a sep-
arate trial, and as this was their right, it
bad to be accorded, and the case against
Winfield Gregg was taken up first. . Gregg,
was defended by ex-Judge Lose, E. Rs
Chambers and J. A. B. Miller while James
Gleason, of Clearfield, assisted District At-
torney Runkle in the prosecution. It took
all of Thursday afternoon and a half hous
Friday morning to select the jury, which
was finally made op as follows:Adam Fish:
er, farmer, Boggs Twp; James A. Decker}
butcher, Ferguson Twp; W. A.Bodle,farm-
er, Spring Twp; John J. Osman, . farmer,
College Twp; W. H. Comley, mechanic,
Unionville; W. C. Kline, shoemaker, State
College; Curtis Meyer,laborer,College Twp;
F.M. Pletcher, teacher, Liberty Twp;Mich-.
ael Heaton,farmer, Boggs Twp; A.J. John-
son,carpenter, Worth Twp;Andrew Shook,
gentleman, Rush Twp; Michael Woomer,
stone mason, State College. : /
The Commonwealth began the case by
introducing a surveyor’s drafs of the local-
ity in and about where the alleged murder
occurred. The evidence submitted in the
testimony of Barney McHugh, the dead
man’s son, as to the hunt for the body, as
which time Gregg was alleged to have told
him where to look for his father. Mrs.
McHugh’s testimony related principally to
family affairs. John Boozer, the undersak-
er who took charge of the body, testified
that be found no marks to indicate foul
play, neither did he find any water in the
lungs. Dr. R. G. H. Hayes and coroner
Huff testified to holding the post mortem
on the body and gave it as their opinion
that the man had not been drowned; but
they found no evidence of his baving been
murdered, either. Dr. Reed, of Houtzdale,
who was called when the body was found,
testified that he found no marks of violence
on the body. There were a number of other
minor witnesses who gave testimony of an
irrelevant character and the end came, Sat-
urday morning, when the Commonwealth
called Peter Offi and the defense made
them put an offer in writing as so what
they intended to prove by the witnesses.
“The court ruled the proposed testimony
as inadmissible when counsel for the Com-
"monwealth'stated that‘they bad offered all
the evidence in their possession and realiz-
ing that they had failed to make out a case
asked for a nole prosequi. ~~ Conusel for the
defense objected to such a proceeding on
the ground that the defendant had been
tried and no evidence to warrant a convic-
tion having been found against him he was
"entitled to an acquittal by the jury. The
court sustained the contention of the de:
fendant’s counsel and in a concise address
to the jary instructed them to return a
verdict of not guilty without leaving the
. box, which was done, and the case came to
an abrupt end Saturday forenoon.
The Commonwealth thus failing to make
out a case against Gregg resulted in quash-
ing the murder indictments against Chas.
and Howard Stewars,though all three men
are still held to answer to the charge of as-
saulé and battery.
PURE FOOD CASES.
Four other cases of more or less interest
disposed of last week, were violators of the
pure food laws. They were the Common-
wealth against George Richards, for selling
oleomargarine at wholesale without a
wholesale license: and against Henry
Emery, W. O. Robinson and Orrin Vail,
for selling cherries colored with coal tar
and preserved with benzoic acid. All were
found guilty and Richards was fined one
bundred dollars and cost and the three lat-
ter sentenced = to pay a fine of fifty dollars
and costs. All the parties are from Phil-
ipsburg.
In bis charge to the jary Judge Orvis
stated that man’s eagerness to deceive the
public made it necessary that the State
should enact and enforce such laws as the
one under which the above prosecutions
were brought, to protect health and pre-
vent or punish deception; and that the
only verdict that could be rendered was
one of guilty.
The following miscellaneous cases were
disposed of:
Commonwealth vs, Charles Gunsallus,
betrayal. Prosecutor, Amanda Dorman.
Trae bill.
_ Commonwealth vs, Raymond Ebbs, be-'
trayal. Prosecutor, Annie Bailey.True bill.
Commonwealth vs, Christian Singer, be-
trayal. Prosecator, Mary Walker. True

Commonwealth vs. Charles Andrews, be-
trayal. Case was tried and jury returned
a verdict of guilty. Motion for a new trial

Commonwealth vs. Daniel Knauf, de-
franding board bill. Prosecutor, Bruce
Garman. Verdiot of guilty but sentence
suspended until November court.
Commonwealth vs. Albert Smith, betray-
al. Prosecutor, Cora Pickle. Plead guilty
and ‘was given the usual sentence.
There was a brief session of court on
Tuesday morning at which James Edward

In the case against Charles and Howard

In the case against Winfield Gregg the

BorouGH CousciL.—Eight members werg
present at Monday night's meeting of
borough council, hut little business of any
importance was transacted aside from in-
creasing the salaries of two of the borough
policemen, which of course was important
to the policemen and tax payers as well.
Mr. James Harris was present and asked
that a sewer be laid along Pike alley in or-
der to afford better drainage; he offering to
pay $25 toward the work. The matter was
referred to the Street committee for inves-
tigation. Mr. Harris also asked the usoal
fifty per cent. reduction of taxes ou Petri-
ken hall. This matter was referred to the
borough solicitor for investigation and
opinion.
George Rhoads and Philip Garbrick ask-
ed that the water be extended outside the
borough limits for the use of about ten fam-
ilies living in the lower end of Coleville,
near the Bellefonte Central railroad sta-
sion. The request was referred to the Water
committee for investigation and report,
Mr. W. H, Musser was present and paid
ten dollars for tapping the sewer on High
| street at the store of Miss Mary Kelly.
Burgess W. Harrison Walker sent in a
recommendation in effect that the salaries
of policemen Jodon and Beezer be inoreas-
When the
matter was brought up before council it
elicited quite a heated discussion but finally
ended up in council voting to accord the
increase of $10 as recommended.
Borough solicitor D. F. Fortney read an
exhaustive opinion on the running of auto-
mobiles through the streets of Bellefonte.
An opinion on the facts as published in the
WATCHMAN two weeks ago.
On recommendation of both the Logan
and Undine fire companies the following

LETTER 70 BELLEFONTE DOCTORS, BELL £-
FONTE, PA.—Dear sirs: You understand
chemistry; how’d you like to earn $1000?
Devoe Lead-and-Zinc—that’s the name of
our paint that takes fewer gallons than
mixed paint and wears twice as long as
lead-and-oil—is made of white-lead, white-
zine, its color, turpentinedryer, and lin-
seed oil.
If any chemist finds any adulteration in
this paint we’ll pay his bill and $1000 be-
sides.
It’s nobody’s business what we put in
our paint, of course; but we want it known.
Forlead-and-zine avd linseed oil, ground
together by machinery, are ‘the stuff to
paint with; and lead-and-oil mixed by
hand is vot.
We want it known that one word describes
the best paint in the world; and that word
is Devoe. Yours truly,
F. W. DEVOE & Co.,
