HANNAH, CENTRE Co.,PA., Sept. 16th, 05.
Hox. P. GRAY MEEK,
Editor of the Democratic Watchman,
DEAR SIR :—
I want to thank you for the good you
bave done for every good citizen voter in
our ‘‘county,” when you published in
your issue of Sept. 8th, 1905, Hon. HENRY
C. NILES’ letter to Mr. J. LEE PLUMMER.
From the time I came into the county
about 35 years ago I have taken the WATCH-
MAN and scratched the money up to pay
for it,and if the taxes don’t get too enormous
to keep up the ‘‘Bosses’’ and Life Insurance
managers aud a few others etc., I will con-
tinoe to welcome it at my fireside. I think
you are sometimes a little too heated when
you let go oa politics and I cannot agree
with you but in the main the good pre-
dominates. Your paper is made up of good,
readable master and well printed, clean and
tidy. Everyone in the county knows I am
no Democrat, but I am one of those haman
beings called ‘‘Republicans’” that think
and act for myself without any dictation
from county or state Bosses. I carried a
““wide-awake’torch for JORN C. FREMONT
and WM. L. DAYTON and polled my first
presidential vote for ‘Honest Abe” and
bave voted for every candidate for Presi-
dent on she Republican tiokes up to the
present time. I have never voted against
any ‘Republican’ that was a candidate for
Governor of Penna ; I even voted for the
*‘Great PENNYPACKER of muzzler fame, so
Mr. Editor, I am withont doubt a full-
fledged Republican. I clip a piece of an
editorial from the Philadelphia Press of the
15th of Sept., 1905 Please print is with
thié letter. I will support Mr. Berry for
State Treasurer and get all the votes I can
for him. Let us count that money once in
our lives thas is ours at ‘Harrisburg. We
“only want to know and see if it is there,
‘If you bave got him,”” as the Dutchman
sail, “Ino want bim, but if yon have nob
got biur k must biave him, My Money™. How

Hublersburg.
many more ‘Republicans’ in Centre coun-
ty, Pa., will help to get a chance to count
this money by supporting Mr. BERRY ?
When ‘PENROSE’ comes to Centre county
let him talk to the trees, he can’t demor-
alize the trees. Stay away, I wonld not
listen to bim, we have better men in our
I am, Dear Sir.
Very respectfully yours,
JoN T. FOWLER.
The following is the clipping from the
Press to which Mr. Fowler refers :
‘When a political Machine is not con-
tent to be a helpful agent and instruments
of a party, but seeks and contrives to be its
absolute and tyrannical dictator, it is time
that Machine was broken up, reconstructed
and reorganized. The anti-Machine revolt,
which is becoming so widespread, ie not
against organization, but against tyranny,
greed, maladministration and wrongdeing.
It is not against party, but against exores-
cences which have fastened upon the party
county.
D [and require removal even if it must be
done by surgery.”
The Great Centre Co. Fair is Next.
The annual picnic of the Grangers being
over there is but one more great event of
the fall season in the county to be carried
through : The great Centre County Fair.
It will be only a little over a week until
the grounds will be alive with people, for
everyone is going. You hear more talk of
the Fair this fall than ever before. Every-
body is expecting something great aud
nobody is going to be disappointed.
‘We won’t have many more opportunities
of telling you about it so let us mention
inst a few of the features that are sure :
A fine exhibition of the products of the
farm and garden in Centre county.
A beautiful display of woman’s handi-
work in fancy works and the culinary arts.
‘Every stall and pen in the stock depars-
ment will be filled. Entries in this de-
partment are coming in fast and let us say
right here that Wm. Carson says the mare
and colt he is going to show will beat any-
thing in the county. Wm. might be fooled
because we know of a few other good ones
that are to be exhibited at the Fair.
_ The agricultural machinery exhibit will
be the largest ever seen in the county. L.
H. Musser, alone, will have three car loads
of machinery all set up and running with
gasoline engines. For his display alone it
will require two special tents 120x40 ft.
For the first timea candy cotton machine
will be seen on the grounds. With this
novelty pure sugar is poured in the hopper
and great billows of a snowy, cotton like
sweets that are most delectable are turned
out.
The Musical Reikarts, the cleverest team
of Vaudeville artists playing under canvas.
will be on the grounds. |
Lashell’s snake and wax figare show
will be one of the attractions.
Madame Lockart, the most successful
halloonist in “the country will make an
ascension every afternoon.
The free stage attractions will be mar-
velous this year ; something as fine as can
been seen with the highest class circus.
George and Harrington the ecoentric comed y
tripple horizontal bar experts, Wm. La Bell,
comedy juggler and hoop expert, Mr. and
Mrs. Marrion, comedy revolving ladder
trapeze and Kurtis’ Original Novelty Dog
Circus. -
The Coleville band will give concerts on
the ground, daily, from 10 fo 12 and from
2t0 5. The regular band contest that was
proposed for one day of the fair has fallen
through because only two bands entered,
the Coleville and Milesburg. The Fair
association had offered $300 in cash, think
of it, as prizes for this contest and only two
bands in the county were interested enongh
to try for it. .
The race for county horses is going to he
a sure thing, however, and there will be
lots of fun in that. There are four or five
entries already and all the fellows who have
horses that can go a little are wanted.
Understand this race is not for race horses,
but only. for driving horses and will he
driven in four wheeled wagons, not sulkies.
Another new feature has been proposed
within the past few days and is now being
worked up. If it is successfully carried
out i6 will he one of the funniest events of
the fair. It isto havea fantastic parade.
The Association will probably offer a band-
some cash prize for the most geotesque
costume. The fantastics will parade around
the entire track headed by a band. ‘An ‘ef-
fort is now being made to interest those
famous fun makers in Nittany Valley and
out at Pleasant Gap in this feature nd ifa
they join in it will be a go, .dure, but re-
member it will be open to everyone. Call
the Fair Headquarters on the phone if youn
want to know more about it.
Look put for the papers next week to see.
the final summing up of all the attractions
| that will be seen on the grounds. The fair
people declare they do not want to mis-
represent a single thing and you can count
on seeing just exactly what is advertised.

NEGRO'S AIM TO KILL ALL
Widow of Murdered John Carter Talks
of Tragedy. %
Chester, Pa., Sept. 18.—“I now have
good reason to believe,” said Mrs.
John W. Carter, after the funeral of
her murdered husband at Johnson's
Corner, “that the negro, Colling or
Howard, when he came to the house in
search of work, fully intended to mur
der the whole household and secure
whaever money there was .in the
house.”
The negro suspect arrested at Get:
tysburg as the supposed slayer of
Farmer Carter is not the man wanted
by the Delaware. county authorities.
He does not answer the description of
Walter Howard, alias Collins, whom
the police are doing their utmost to
locate.
Chief of Police McGrann and County
Detective Berry visited Concorn town:
ship and secured the most important
clew since the murder relative to the
negro who did the job. This they will
follow up, and if they don’t land the
right man it will be because he hag
left the state of Delaware, for that ig
where he is believed to be. The clew
covers in minute detail the actions of
a man who is believed to be Collins,
but who is known by another mame,
and who has figured in other esca-
pades.

HISTORY OF THE 148TH REGIMENT.—
“Something altogether unique in the way
of regimental histories,’ is the way. one of
the authors obaracterizes‘*The Story of Our
Regiment,” when speaking of the history
of the 148th Pennsylvania Volunteers,com-
posed almost entirely of the heroic sons of
Centre sounty who went forth to battle,
suffer and die that the Union might be
preserved in the fratracidal strife of ’61 to
65. 4a
But just how unique and altogether orig-
inal is this remarkable history will be learn-
ed only by a perusal of its more than elév-
en bundred pages. Pages filled from front
to back hy the personal experience: and ob-
servations of over one hundred contributors
—not stereotpyed authors of historical vol-
umes, not versatible writers paid for their
production, but interesting war time tales,
campfire stories, prison horrors and daily
experiences of not only the officers of the
regiment bus of the privates, written by the
men themselves. By men the most of whom
were yoor neighbors in Bellefonte and
tbroughous Centre county, many of whom
are yet living in our midst, peaceful and
prominent citizens. )
It is a book of exceptional historic value,
because it recounts just what the writers
know to be true; and as it is a history . of
the prominent part played in that great
game of war by the boys in blue from Cen-
tre Co. it isa book that ehould bein every:
family of the present generation and ought’
to be handed down to generations to come.
Space will not permit us giving a full
lise of all the contributors but among them

MAN knows by heart. Such as: Hon. H.

A. Bayard, Henry Meyer, D. W. Wood-
ring and scores of others. These men have
contributed true history from personal
knowledge and data but also many amus-
ing experiences that serve to eradicate .the
usual dryness permeating she historian’s
writings, giving to this history a freshness,
spice and interest that the most indiffer-
ent reader will peruse with zest and pleas-
ure. :

FAcuLTY CHANGES AT STATE COLLEGE.
—Now that a week has passed since the
opening at State College affairs have settled
down to the common level and the various
departments are running along with their
customary smoothness. Quite a number
of minor changes in the faculty have been
made, among them being the following:
W. S.Ayers and M. C.Benediot will fill the
positions in the mechanical engineering de-
partment formerly occupied hy Louis A.
Harding and Walter E.. Saunders. Geo. K.
Patte,A. M.,of Dartmouth ’02, isa new in-

Homer R. Higley, of both Cornell and
Pennsylvania. Mr. F. A. Gorham '05, takes
the place of Donald Derickson, as an assist-
ant in the civil engineering department. In

ed as assistants L.'B. Smith and R. P. Far-
rington, both 06 men, who will have charge

UNI0N CoUNTY FAIR. —The Union Co.
Fair to be held at Lewisburg,September 26
27, 28 and 29, will have attractions of mer-
it and without a parallel in exhibitions of
this class. For exhibitors a large fund has
been set aside for premiums, in which lib-
eral prizes are offered. The Brook Park
track is one of the best in the country, and’
record breaking records can be expected:
The attractions each day will be of high-
class order, well worth the price of admis-
sion alone. The fair this year will be at,
its bess, and the management has spared
no expense to make it such.

SoNs oF VETERANS.—Camp Gen. James
A. Beaver No. 74, Sons of Veterans, was re-

Senator Fred A. Godobarles, she State

——The prospects for a strong Bellefonte
‘Academy foot hall team this year are very
fair. ° There is a good deal of new materia}
from which to select and the boys are wass-
ing uo time getting in practice; as they are
out training every evening. There is hard-
ly auy.doubs -but-that-the team... shis.year-
should be stronger than last year’s eleven.
WITH THE GRANGERS.—The thirty-first
annnal encampment of the Grangers of
Central Pennsylvania was held at Grange
park, Centre Hall, this week and was
equally as successful as any gathering held
fora number of years past. In fact the
number of tent-holders this year was
slightly in excess of the number last year
while the exhibits of farm machinery,
merchandise, farm products, ete., in-
cluding the always good State College
exhibit were equal to those of the past few
years. The program this year provideda
wider diversion than in any preceding year
—there being less speech-making than
usual.
The regular harvest home services were
held, Sunday afternoon, when a very in-
teresting sermon was preached by Rev.
James W. Boal, of Centre Hall. The andi-
torinm was well filled and the music was
furnished by the combined choirs of the
Centre Hall churches.
Monday was given over entirely to the
receiving and placing of exhibits, eto., and
getting everything in readiness for the bal-
ance of the week. On Tuesday the formal
opening was held with speeches by the of-
ficers of the county Grange and a carnival
by the exhibitors present.
Wednesday was devoted to a reunion of
the Knights of the Golden Eagle. This
was to have included castles from both
Centre and Clinton counties bus none’ were
present from the laster while from Centre
county just 293 Knights were present, in-
cluding castles from Bellefonte, Miilheim,
Nittany, Port Matilda and Madisonbarg.
A meeting was held in the auditorium in
the afternoon which was addressed by past
supreme chief Thomas Burchall, of Phila-
delphia; Col. Luther Smith, of Johnstown,
and members of the local organizations.
The crowd on Wednesday was estimated at
from fifteen hundred to two thousand.
Thareday, naturally, was the big day and
the crowd probably numbered six thous-
and. Two meetings were held, one in the
morning which was ‘addressed by the
Rev. A. C. Lathrop, of’ Milesburg. The
big meeting of the week was held in the
afternoon when the prificipal speaker was
Senator Bois Penrose, the State chairman
and would-be boss of the Republican par-
ty, who delivered his ‘much advertised
speech on ‘“‘farming.’’ Be it said in all fair-
ness to the men who got him there and to
the Senator, himself, that he did not make
a single utterance bearing on politics in
any of its phases. Other addresses were
made by J. T. Ailman, secretary of the
State grange, and-B. H. Warren, dairy and
ood commissioner.
The encampment will close today with
a big auction sale of live stock and ma-
chinery.

was pulling out of Mill Hall Jobn Kei-

ard, deliberately threw himself in front of

that the man was not ground to pieces. As
it was both legs were out off above the
knees and he was otherwise. badly injured.
It is believed that the man was temporarily

And join the crowds. Where?

Where did you suppose?
Goodness knows

GIVES CHILD T0 FATHER.—In the cage
of Mrs. J. G. Ingram,of Harrisburg, against
her divorced husband, Alexander Duncan,
of Philipsburg, so recover possession of
their eleven-year-old daughter Margaret,
which was argued before Judge Orvis on
June 28th, the court this week handed
down a decree in which. he gives the child
absolutely into the keeping of her father,
dividing the cost equally between the plain-
tiff and defendant.
The case excited considerable interest at
the time it was heard because of the prom-
inence of the parties concerned. The de-
fendant is a son of Robert Duncan, former-
ly of{Spring Mills bus now of Washington,
D.C. When ayoung man he located in
Philipsburg and fora number of years
back has been employed in the First Na-
tional bank in that place. About thirteen
yeais ago Miss Scull, a young society wo-
mau of Lebanon, came to visit friends in
Philipshorg. There she met Alexander
Duncan, the two were mutually attracted
and their marriage followed as a natural
sequence. They bad but the one child.
The two lived together, apparently hap-
py until about 1899 or 1900 when the dis-
illosionment came, each blaming the other
with being disloyal. From that time on
Mrs. Duncan was away from her home
much of the time, visiting her old home in
Lebanon and friends in Harrisburg and
Atlantio City. As Harrisburg she met J.
G. Ingram, a prominent business man, who
showed her marked attention and to whom
she became considerably attached.
In August, 1901, Mrs. Duncan was away
on one of her trips and had her child with
ber, but evidently finding her-considerable
care returned her to her father. In the
meantime she made application for a di-
vorce which was granted in November of
that year and ten days afterwards she mar-
ried Mr. Ingram. They have since lived
together in Harrisburg and now, olaiming
that she is abundantly able to “keep and
care for her daughter, she brought suit for
her recovery. At the time of the bearing
the daughter created a little sensation by
declaring, in reply toa question of the
court as to whom she preferred to live
with, that she wanted to stay with her
father.
At the hearing the plaintiff was repre-
sented by Thomas Capp Esq., of Lebanon,
and ex-Judge A. O. Furst, and the defend-
ant byjex-Judge John G. Love and George
W. Zeigler Eeq., of Philipsburg, while
more than a score of witnesses were heard
on both sides.

“ALABAMA.” — The Media Dramatic
olub, in “Alabama, *’ will be the attraction
at Garman’s tonight. Those who have
Seen these young students of the drama, in
their various performances at Grange park,
this week, speak of them very pleasingly.
The club is under the management of Will
Flack, an old Bellefonte boy, and they will
play tonight at popular prices. Of the
company as a whole the Media News says :
The audiences that patronize the plays
given by the St. Vincent Dramatic associa-
tion seem never to tire of witnessing the
performance of that sterling old drama,
‘Alabama.”’ For the third time the play
was given and despite the almost unbear-
able heat of the gas-lighted hall, a large
audience was present and stayed to the fall
of she lass curtain.
_ The work of she various men in the cast
has been frequently reviewed before, and
is will suffice to assure thas the repetition
of the play found them much improved, in
lines, stage presence and ease and natural-
ness of action. er
Of the ladies a little more is necessary,
a8 it was their first appearance in this play,
the best in the repertoire of the Shmpany.
Miss Fisher made a winsome and thoroug
ly convincing Carey Preston. Miss Whea-
lan has been seen to hetter advantage in
comedy parts, but her interpretation of the
pars of Mrs. Stockton, a lively widow, was
all thas could be desired. The work of
Miss Deasy as Mrs. Page was far and away
the best thing she bas done since she be-
came a member of the company.
EL of “My Old Kentucky
Home” by an _inyisible. quartette and
chorns was one of the. pretty features on
he hoonlight garden scene in the third
a8 r. Suter’s rendition of ‘My
Sweet Queen.”
It you have anything to exhibit at
the fair you can enter it now by calling at
head-quarters, next door to Schofield’s sad-
dlery, thus saving any farther trouble
