Berry Pleased With Political Condl-
tioms.
Mayor BERRY, the Democratic and peo-
ple’s candidate for State Treasurer, was in
Pittsburg the other day, in the course of
his campaign toar,and declared that he is
entirely pleased with ‘‘the conditions in
Allegheny county.” Thatis to say, he
found not only an aroused and earnest
Democratic organization actively at work
but encountered a vast number of indepen-
dent Republicans who intend to vote for
him. *‘I will bave a larger vote here than
I originally figured on,’ he remarked to a
reporter of the Pittsburg Post. ‘‘There is
a big independent Republican element
here,”’ he continued, ‘‘that 1 knew little
about until I had the pleasure of mingling
with the people of Allegheny county. I
am assured of their suppors.”’
That is precisely the condition in all
parts of Pennsylvania. There is an inde-
pendent element in every community
which is keeping its own councils but bas
determined to swipe the machine this fall
wish all its energy and force. It is not
alone in Philadelphia that the public con
science is stirred. The reformers are mak-
ing more noise in that city than elsewhere,
probably, and the public hears more about
the purposes they bave in view. Bat the
determination to rescue the Commonwealth
from the plunderers is jnst as etrong in
Pitesburg as in Philadelphia and quite as
deep-seated in the rural districts as in
urban communities. The people have be-
come aware of the iniquity which has been
despoiling them and are determined to end
it.
Of course Mr. BERRY is satisfied with
‘the political conditions in Pittsburg as he
must be with them in all parts of the Scate.
The conditions are auspicious for his sue-
cess and though that fact, personally con-
sidered, would not move him, probably, to
great enthusiasm, for he didn’t and don’
covet the office for self-aggyandizement or
personal glory. Bat present political con-
ditions promise something more important
thao the elevation of an individual to an
important and unsought office. They prom-
ise the restoration of integrity to the pub-
lic life of the Commonwealth and common
honesty in the administration of political
affaire. That is something to rejoice over
and in common with all good citizens Mr,
BERRY welcomes the signs.
—It is easy to vote bad men into office,
but a very diffioult thing to get them out
again. Remember this on election day.
\
ELLIS S. SHAFFER.
The above named is the democratic
nominee for Sheriff of Centre county,
and, unless all J odisons fail, will be
duly elected to fill that important office
in November. He comes from one of
the best families in Centre county—pure
Pennsylvania German stock—noted for
their industry, thrift and sterling worth;
and as such he will fill that high office to
the full satisfaction of the voters who
approve of his candidacy, and the gen- |
eral public who may have occasion to
transact business in that department.
For down in Miles township is where
they grow good, strong, stalwart men,
of which this gentleman is a fitting type.
Among the pioneers of this county
were the Shaffers, and his grandfather,
Judge John Shaffer, was among the first
to clear the forests and till the soil in the
fertile section known as Brushvalle
which is long famed as the finest agricul-
tural district in this part of the state,
Ellis S. Shaffer is a son of Adam Shaf-
fer, Jr., and was born on his father’s
farm, the Shaffer homestead, near Madi-
sonburg, in 1856. His parents and grand-
parents were farmers and the greater
portion of his life was spent on the farm,
as he remained with his parents until
1881, and for seven years thereafter
conducted the farm himself. 1889 he
moved to Madisonburg and while there
devoted most of his attention to farming.
For several years he was engaged in re-
constructing the pike leading across to
Millheim and controlled the stage and
mail route between those points. For
over a year he was employed by Simon
R. King, whose health was failing, as
manager of the Musser House, Millheim,
after which he returned to Madisonburg
and since then has been employed in
farming and other pursuits.
He is known in his community as a
kind and generous hearted man, always
ready to extend the helping hand to
those in need.
He further is one possessed of sound
judgment and discretion; and in his de-
portment, above all, isa true gentle-
man,
Remember the Veteram.
As our friend A. V.
around over the county electionering he
uses, as one of his most persuasive argu-
ments: I am a veteran and you should re-
member the veteran. So we do, but the
trouble with ABE is that he evidently
thinks there is only one veteran to remem-
ber. For the past twenty-two years he has
been remembered with public office of
some sort or other, while other veterans
have been entirely ignored or forgotten.
It would take columns to enumerate the
other veterans who have tried for office in
this county and been turned down, while
ABRAM’s star has been shining on. Most
notable of the many and so recent as to be
fresh in the minds of everyone was the
heartless throw down of the old ex-soldier,
H. C. HOLTER, of Howard. Not only was
he bowled oust of the race for the poss of-
fice in Howard, but when he undertook to
have his name entered as a candidate for
Commissioner before the last Republican
county convention he was sat down upon
in such a way as would lead any thinking
man to the conclusion that ncne but a fa-
vored few can get a chance to run for of-
fice on the Republican ticket. = We don’t
know whether Mr. HOLTER took this view
of it or not, but we presume he did and he
bas likely been wondering ever since how
ABE MILLER can have anything he wants
while other old vets are pushed to the side.
MILLER travels
—— Of course Mr. TUTEN needs the of-
fice of Register of the county, but in all
truthfulpess you must admit that Mr.
JACKSON needs it too. Now if the question
of need is to be the deciding influence to
your vote you should thoroughly weigh all
the conditions to arrive at a fair conclusion.
Mr. JACKSON has ahsolutely nothing more
than his ability to work and competency
to fill just such a position, while Mr. Tu-
TEN has back of him an old and well es-
tablished business. If he were a better
man, in any respeot, than Mr. JACKSON
then we would not argue that this should
enter into your judgment, but since he is
not the superior of Mr. JACKSON in compe-
tency and has a large printing establizh-
ment to depend upon the office should be
given to the man who is not so fortunate.
——Tt is merely a case now of whether
it will be MILLER or BAILEY. Both
| DUNLAP and WEAVER are certain of elec-
tion and it remains to be seen which one of
the other two can get the moss votes in
order to retain his place on the Board of |
Commissioners.
For Sheriff, ELLIS S. SHAFFER.
Candidate Berry in Bellefonte.
Mayor WILLIAM H. BERRY, Democratic
{ candidate for State Treasurer, bas come and
gone, but the impression he made upon the
voters of Centre county will be worth many
votes toward defeating J. LEE PLUMMER,
the tool of the gang and electing an honest,
upright business man to assume control of
the State Treasury. Mr. BERRY did not
come to Bellefonte with a blaze of trampets
or amidst the glare of colored lights and
the din of brass bands. He came, modest-
ly and in a businesslike way, as becomes
the man he is.
He arrived on the 1:25 train in the after-
noon, was met at the depot by a number
of the leadeis of the party and escorted to
the Brockerhoff house where he and th ose
. with him had dinner and then an hour’s
| rest. The balance of the afternoon was
spent in cordial greetings to all who called
upon him,
The meeting in the court house in the
| evening was held at 8 o’cleck and at that
| hour the room was well filled. Though
| not crowded the andience was perhaps the
largest that has attended a political meet-
ing here in several years; and a very notice-
| able fact was that everybody stayed until
| the end, so interested were they in hearing
| every word of the scathing arraignment of
the gang and its undeniably corrupt meth-
ods. Many Republicans were in the audi-
ence and they joined in the liberal applause
with which the speaker was greeted.
Col. J. L. SPANGLER presided at the
meeting and there was a long list of vi
presidents. No time was wasted in useless
| preliminaries, Col. SPANGLER at once in-
trod ucing as the first speaker of the evening
W. Scorr AMMERMAN Esq., of Danville.
{ Mr. AMMERMAN confined himself almost
| entirely toa full enunciation of PLUM-
MER’S perfidious career as a member of
| the Legislature. He spoke for more than an
| hour. Col. SPANGLER then introduced
Mayor BERRY as the popular candidate of
| all right thinking business people.
Mr. BERRY spoke for over an hour
. and held the closest attention of his hear-
ers from start to finish, being repeatedly
interrupted by applause. Though not a
brilliant talker he is a man of intense mag-
netism, and every word he utters carries
with is the conviotion of truth. He started
out by telling of the trail of crime, suicide
and untimely deaths that for a generati on
bas followed in the wake of the State Treas-
ury, from the time BLAKE WALTERS shot
himself almost thirty years ago down to the
suicide of T. LEE CLARK, cashier of the
wrecked Enterprise National bank, in Al-
legheny, on Wednesday. He told of the in-
controvertible accusations of fraud and cor-
ruption made against the gang which ¢ o-
day stands uncontradicted—even unan-
swered. He spoke of the iniquitous legis-
lation enacted at the instance of the ma-
chine candidate and portrayed most vivid-
ly the deplorable conditions now existing
in Philadelphia and daily spreading
throughout the State; closing with an ap-
peal to the voters to use merely proper bus-
iness discretion coupled with good common
sense when it come to casting their ballots
and there would be no question as to the
result.

——The tax payers of Centre county
should be more interested in the election
of the Board of Commissioners than any
other officers to be chosen this fall. The
Commissioners are the men who finally fix
the valuation of property, declare the rate
of taxation and order the expenditure of
the people’s money. Messrs. MILLER and
BAILEY bave been in office three years and
they have run the cost of conducting the
county business up to the unheard of fig-
ure of $90,000. This will mean either
higher valuation or increased taxation.Y ou
are paying enough now; in fact all you can
afford, then why vote to retain such ex-
travagant men in office.
——Quite an enthusiastic meeting of the
Demooratic county committee was held at
Democratic headquarters, Wednesday af-
ternoon. The reports from every m ember
were most favorable and showed a strong
prevailing interest for Mayor WILLIAM H,
BERRY, for State Treasurer. Sen. WILLIA M
C. HEINLE made a brief address to the com-
mitteemen, urging them to keep up the
1 work until the polls close on Tuesday
evening, November 8th.
For Recorder, JOHN C. ROWE.
Z
JOHN C. ROWE.
For the past three years the above gen-
tleman has filled the position of Record-
er of this county and therefore is known
to most of our readers. He was elected
to that office by a nice vote in 1902, on
the democratic ticket and during the
present term he has been faithful to
every duty in that position. Heisknown
as an obliging and agreeable official.
The work in that department has al-
ways received his best care and atten-
tion, and we have the first complaint to
hear;from anyone in that direction.
Personally, John Rowe is above all a
perfect gentleman, and one who has
made many friends since he moved here
from Philipsburg. As it is customary to
reward competent and faithful officials
in that office with a second term, he was
unanimously accorded a re-nomination
and we believe his re-election is assured.
Mr. Rowe was born at Pittsburg in
1860. and at the early age of nine years
found it necessary to go to work and se-
| cured employment in a glass factory.
After that he learned tailoring, attend-
ing school at night. For a number of
years he conducted a tailoring establish-
ment in Philipsburg, until elected Re-
corder, when with his family he removed
to Bellefonte.
He is worthy of your support and will
appreciate your vote.
——Did you pay your taxes before Oct.
1st ? If you did you got 5 per cent. off,bat
what did that avail you. Next year you
will have to pay more to make up for the
deficit the county will have because
MILLER and BAILEY were afraid to raise
the millage to the point it should have been
to meet the expenditures they have made.
They are running for re-election and if
they get back into office again they won’t
need to care, because they will then have
three years more of a certainty and can
push the millage up as far as they please
or permit the county to run hopelessly in
debt. Either misfortune would be of no
consequence to them, because another term
would end them, according to party prec-
edent, so they would have nothing to fear
from the outraged taxpayers.
ADDITIONAL LOCALS.
——The viewers appointed by the court
to inspect the bridge in Taylor township
pronounce it in good shape. an
——Hard P. Harris, who was confined
to his home a week ago threatened with ap-
pendioitis, bas recovered sufficiently to be

dent. :

is one of the treats in store for the local
play goers this season. Like the book, the
play is highly sentimental and has much

A DESERVED BoN MOT FOR THE SHERIFF
FROM AN ABLE JUDGE.—Its the early bird
that catohes the worm, and for his lifelong
habit of “being up and doing,’’ Captain
Hugh Taylor received a tribute last Friday
morning that may well make him proud.
| While the day was yet new, Joseph Gross
brought us a very interesting caller—Jos.
Aloysius Weber, of Philadelphia, secretary
of the federation of Catholic Societies of
Pennsylvania, a member of the American
society for visiting Catholic prisoners and
of the American Catholic Historical Society.
Mr. Weber is visiting penal institutions,
has been in almost every county in the
State and says there are few jails as well
kept as ours, clean, comfortable, and what
is especially noteworthy, proper materials
are provided the prisoners to clean with
which is more than can be said of other
places. He happened in the jail when the
cleaning-up process was on, and a total
stranger to the sheriff, praise from a man
of such wide experience and able judgment
must be very gratifying to Captain Taylor.
While here Mr. Weber had much encour-
agement in his desire to bave the Catholic
societies organized.
TAUSIG—FAUBLE.—A quiet but pretty
bome wedding was celebrated at the resi-
dence of Mr. and Mrs M. Fauble, on east
High street,at 10.30 o’clock Monday morn-
ing, when their youngest daughter, Miss
Ida, was united in marriage to Edwin
Forest Tausig, of Harrisburg. The cere-
mony was performed by Rabbi Klein, of
Altoona. No invitations had been issued
consequently there were no attendants
and only the immediate friends of the con-
tracking parties were present. Following
the ceremony a delicious wedding break-
fast was served and at 1.25 o'clock p.m.
Mr. and Mrs. Tausig departed on a wed-
ding tour which will include sight-seeing
in New York city and a trip by boat to
Havana, Caba. On their return they will
go to housekeeping in Harrishurg, where
the groom owns a large jewelry busi-
ness. The bride is one of Bellefonte’s
most charming young ladies and having
been one of the most popular of the young-
er set the nuptials were accompanied by
the warmest felicitations of a wide cirele of
friends.
ae
BUDDINGER — GLENN—Some little ex-
citement was created in Snow Shoe the be-
ginning of the week when the announce-
ment was made that Samuel W.Buddinger,
son of Mr. and Mrs. T. B. Buddinger, had
eloped with his father’s typewriter, Miss
Dollie Glenn, daughter of Mrs. Lizzie
Glenn. Iaquiry revealed the fact that the
two young people left Snow Shoe over the
Beech Creek railroad, Sunday evening, and
went to Camden, N. J., where they were
married on Monday. The groom is a book-
keeper in tbe firm of T. B. Buddinger &
Son, and is a thorough-going young busi-
ness man. The bride, though but seven-
teen years of age, is an expert typewriter
and a very charming and winsome young
woman. As to the elopement pars of the
story, that was probably only a quixotic
idea of the two young people to go away
quietly by themselves and get married, as
there were no ohstacles in the way of mar-
riage at home. Mr. and Mrs. Baddinger
returned heme, on Wedneday, and have
been busy ever since receiving the congrat-
ulations of their friends.
RUMBERGER — HOLTER.—Albert E.
Rumberger, ‘of Patton, son of George W.
Rumberger, of Unionville, and who is well
known in this place, and Miss Minnie M.
Holter, of Rossiter, formerly of Philips-
. burg, were married at the home of the
bride’s parents, Wednesday afternoon of
last week.
The officiating clergyman was Rev.
Morris E. Swartz, pastor of the Patton M.
E. church. The attendants were assistant
postmaster Will R. Rees, son of Mr. and
Mrs. G. Wash Rees, of this place, and Miss
Edith Holter, a sister of the bride. The
wedding was a quiet one, being attended
only by the immediate relatives of the
bride and groom. Following the cere-
mony Mr. and Mrs. Rumberger departed
on a honeymoon trip to take in several of
the large eastern cities. On their retarn
they will locate in Patton where the groom
isin the employ of the Central Sapply
company.
KELLEY—MURRAY.—Michael L. Kel-
ley, one of Snow Shoe’s enterprising young
business men and coal operators, and Miss
Alice C. Murray, daaghter of James H.
Murray, of Philadelphia, were married in
the church of Our Lady of the Rosary,
Philadelphia, Wednesday morning, Oocto-
ber 11th,by Rev. Father F. P. Corcorana, a
cousin of the bride. The attendants were
Miss Frances Veneer, as maid-of-honor,and
Miss Mary Kelley, as bridesmaid, while
Joseph E. Kelley was best man. After a
brief wedding tour Mr. and Mis. Kelley
will take up their residence in Snow Shoe.
PLETCHER—BARR.—Harrison Pletcher,
of Newark valley, N. Y., formerly of How-
ard, and Miss Annie E. Barr, of Latrobe,
Pa., were quietly married, October 10th,

East Newark, by Rev. F. W. Young. Mr.
and Mrs. Pletcher will make their home in
East Newark.
CLARK—CoMPTON.—John Milton Clark,
son of the late William Clark, of Marsh
Creek, near Blanchard, and Miss Esther
Courtland Compton, were married at the
home of the bride’s mother, Mis. M. V.

o'clock, Thursday morning of last week.

——Space in the columns of any news-
paper is especially valuable now that the
campaign is drawing to an exciting finish
and just because it is valuable several col-
umns of this issue are used for a reprint
from the Century for October on ‘Economy
in Food,”’ by Russell H. Chittenden, direc-
tor of the Sheffield Scientific School of
Yale University. It is an able presentation
of a subject of vital importance and anyone
who has not already read it should do so,
not cursorily but with careful attention

baustive and abstruse subject.

——Harry L. McKee,son of Mr.and Mrs.
H. A. McKee, formerly of this place but
now of Wilmerding, was one of the one
bundred and twenty successful applicants
for a scholarship in the Carnegie Technical
school, at Pittsburg, which began work on
Monday. When it was considered that
there were over seven thousand original
applications for scholarships, that number
being sifted down to 1717 who underwent
examinations in order to select the small
number of 120, being one of the anccesstnl
ones reflects great credit on the young man
and it is a pleasure to know that he is or-
iginally a Bellefonte hoy. For the past
five years he has been in the employ of the
Westinghouse people.

have already housed nearly all their stock.
The crop here is the largest for years.
Quite a number of our hunters started out
on Monday last for wild turkeys. But with
what success has not been learned. No
doubt during the season, some of our barn
yards will suffer.
Wm. Stover, of Stephenson county, Ill.,
formerly of this village, is here visiting rela-

Miss Lizzie Stover had her opening day on
the 12th inst.,, and the array of millinery
goods, hats and caps was decidedly fine.
Miss Stover always displays exquisite taste
in her selections. The fall and winter styles
of hats and caps are handsome and attrac-
tive.
