wide part of his trousers. On Saturday
night the hen house of Mrs. Saxon, on east
Bishop street, was broken into and many
chickens carried off. Several other hen
houses in town have been entered and
chickens stolen. There is a suspicion abroad
as to who the chicken thief is and the man
had better beware as owners of fowls are
sleeping these nights with one eye half
open.
TEACHERS’ INSTITUTE.—The fitty-ninth
annual session of the Centre county teachers’
institute is being held in the court house
this week. The attendance is very good,
about 283 out of a total of 305 teachersin the
county being present. The majority of the
teachers are quite youthful in appearance
but their general conduct, both during in-
stitute sessions and on the street was con-
sider ably above that of some institutes that
have been held here in years pas’.
Among the institute members was Prof.
D. M. Wolf, of Spring Mills, and it isa
fact worthy of mention that he bas been a
member of and been in attendance at every
institute held in the county since 1852,
fifty-three years ago, and he is still bale
and hearty, full of vigor and still engaged
in teaching.
When institute opened Monday after-
noon county superintendent D. O. Esters
made a short speech to the teachers in
w hich he urged a close attendance and
hearty cooperation on the part of all. He
told of the feast of good instruction and
entertainment provided for the week and
insisted that it was to the interest of every
teacher present to give close attention.
The first speaker of the day was Dr. D.
C. Murphy, of the Slippery Rock Normal
school, who gave a very instructive as well
as interesting talk on ‘The fitness for
Teaching.”” The speaker said that to bea
good teacher one needed pot only the
strength of a Samson, the patience of a Job,
the wisdom of a Solomon and the goodness
of an Angel, but all these requisites shaped
and moulded into one individuality.
The second speaker of the day was Prof.
C. H. Alberts, of Bloomsburg Normal. This
is the first time in nine years that Prof.
Alberts has been one of the instructors at
the county institute and he consequently
was a stranger to the majority of the teach-
ers. His talk, Monday afternoon, was
simply a genera! one on the purpose of in-
stitutes and the reasons why teachers
should atiend and listen intelligently to all
that was said. A fact he carried down to
the public schools when the teacher expects
the same kind of industrious, intelligent
work on the part of the scholars. He also
spoke upon the fundamental purpose of the
school and gave a very lucid definition of
the word study.
With his usual proficiency county com-
missioner Philip H. Meyer led the singing,
Monday afternoon, as well as all the week,
while Miss Bessie H. Dorworth presided at
the piano.
Tuesday morning’s session of institute
was opened with a talk by Rev. Ambrose
M. Schmidt on ‘““Character building.”” He
was followed by Prof. Albert, who con.
tinued his discussion of the subject,
“Thinking and education.” Rev. C. T.
Aiken made a brief address after which Dr.
D. C. Morphy talked on ‘*History.” In
the afterncon Rev. Schmidt disonsced
“Lung gymnastics or deep breathing ;”’
Dr. Murphy talked on ‘Critical moments
in the school room,’”” and Prof. Albert
closed the session with a short talk on
reading.
Wednesday morning Prof. Albert made
his closing talk to the institute in which
he discussed the philosophy of education
winding up by censuring the teachers for
patronizing the opera house and condem-
ning gum chewing and cigarette smoking.
James M. Coughlin made his appear-
ance, Wednesday morning, and his first
talk was given on arithmetie. In .the af-
ternoon he talked on school discipline while
Dr. Murphy spoke of things that need to
be emphasized in the school.
The interest which attended the sessions
of institute the first three days of the week
continued throughout all of yesterday. The
two entertainments were well patronized
and the county superintendent is to be
commended for his wise seleetion of both
instructors and entertainments. The in-
stitate will close with a brief session this
morning.

MORE MARITAL TROUBLES. — Readers of
the WATCHMAN on the south side not only
remember but intimately know W. H.Run-
kle, an old Pennsvalleyan, who was land-
lord of the Centre Hall hotel and who wens
to York after selling out there. Just now
be is having his own troubles as his wife,
who before marriage was a Miss Poorman,
is suing for a divorce, according to the fol-
lowing dispatch which appeared in Wed-
nesday’s Philadelphia papers :
“William H. Runkle, a former wealthy
hotel proprietor and horseman of this city,
and kis wife, Mrs. Ada V. Runkle, who have
been at domestic odds for more than a year,
and whose troubles have been aired in the
York county and Baltimore courts, are again
claiming the attention of the local courts.
Runkle was arrested yesterday by a pri-
vate detective of Philadelphia, acting in be-
half of Mrs. Runkle. Miss Estella Wagner,
a comely young woman of this city, also was
arrested by the detective, and she is named
as the co-respondent in the divorce proceed-
ings which Mrs. Ada V. Runkle began in the
local courts yesterday.
Runkle and Miss Wagner were given a
hearing before a local Alderman last night,
and upon testimony furnished by the detec.
tive each was held under bail.
Mrs. Runkle made a previous attempt to
secure a divorce from her husband in the
local courts. She also made application for a
divorce in Baltimore, and was granted one.
When the husband learned of the grant he
employed attorneys, and it was found that
. Runkle’s name had been misspelled in
‘the application and decree, and that there
were other discrepancies. On the strength
of these his counsel succeeded in having the
decree annulled.
Mrs. Runkle is said to possess consid-
erable wealth. Runkle, who met with
financial reverses several years ago, has
been reduced to comparative poverty.

bis mother-land and if he can find a good
location at his trade in this country will
stay here and send for his family.

DEER HUNTERS GALORE.—The deer
hunting season opened on Wednesday and,
owing to the fact that this year there are
but two weeks open season, that day was
sigoalized by a general exodus of hunters
to the deer baunts in the mountains. All
told there are by this time upwards of two
hundred Centre county hunters out on the
trail. The first orowd to go out was the
Gentzel--Zimmerman party, some of whom
started on Saturday and others on Sunday,
their destination being the Green woods.
On Monday the Miller—Hazel party
started, also for the Green woods. In this
Party were Isaac Miller, of this place ; J.
A. Hazel, Charles Johnstonbaugh and Will
Houser, of Spring township, and the three
Daugherty brothers, of Fayette connty.
Tuesday morning The Panthers left here
for their camp beyond Fisher’s hill, in the
Scootac region. With them were A. L.
and John McGinley, John L. and Andrew
Knisely, M. A. Jackson, W. C. Cassidy,
Harry Gerberich and Thomas Moore, of
Philadelphia. R. A. Brouse and Bruce
Garman will go ont next week. This party
always goes out in style and this year took
along Jake Jury as cook and Fred Lane as
general utility. The Bob Mann party from
Howard and a party of Pittsburg hunters
also went out,on Tuesday, into the Scootac
region.
On the same day a large party went into
camp on the Six Mile run, on the Alle-
gheny mountain. In this party were
Larry Redding, D. M. Kelley and Grant
Kessling, of Snow Shoe ; Dick Farrell,
Geo. C. Waite, Dr. W. S. Musser, A. T.
Beyer, Charles, Horace, Louis and Howard
Blair, G. D. Rhodes, Frank Gardner and
J. K. Johnston, of Tyrone, and A. M.
Parker, of New Jersey. The same day
Frank H. Clemson and party went into
habitation at Nason’s camp, while the
Uzzle—Haynes crowd, of Snow Shoe, also
went out, on Tuesday, for the opening
Wednesday morning.
On the south side the Krebs hunting
party, of Pine Grove Mills ; the Modccs,
of Boalsburg ; the Bradford party, of Cen-
tre Hall ; two hunting clubs from Potter's
Mills, and parties from Millheim, Coburn
and Georges valleyall went into camp at
different places in the Seven mountains.
From the above it would seem as if Centre
county hunters should surely get their por-
tion of venison, this year, inasmuch as the
majority of the parties will stay out the
two weeks of the season.
Tyrone is well represented on the Alle-
ghenies for, in addition to the party above
named, the Allegheny hunting club, com-
posed of Ira and John Cook, Isaac McNeal,
Chauncey Pifer, Joe Dawson, John Noll,
of Tyrone ; W. S. Moore, of Madera, and
Sam Lamborn, of Belsena Mills, are lo-
cated near the Big Fill on the Tyrone and
Clearfield railroad. The Klondyke club,
composed of C. S. Hiltner, D. H. Barn-
bam, Fred Bradley, Dr. J. A. Witter, H.
S. Adams, Wm. Troutwine, J. D. Cox, S.
S. Stanley, Harry Gardner, W. H. Me-
Lanaban and C. R. Reese, of Tyrone ; C.
M. Waple, of Philipsburg, and M. I. Ward,
of Blairsville, are encamped in the Seven
Springs hollow, four miles northeast of
Philipsburg, while a party eomposed of W.
E., J. H, C. C. and J. K. Miller, Harvey
McClintock, Charles Waters and Mr. Gates
are holding forth in a camp on Bald Eagle
ridge just east of Port Matilda.
FIRST HUNTING STORY.
The first hunting story of the season
comes from the Alleghenies at the head-
waters of Benner run, where a party of
strangers went into camp on Saturday.
While they were fixing up their camp a
deer chased by a dog ran right through
their midst, but as the season had nos yet
opened the animal went on its way without
a shot being fired after it.
THE FIRST DAY.
Of course it was impossible to get any
returns of the number of deer killed on the
first day of the season, as everyhody who
went out went prepared to stay at least a
week and it will not be until the close of
the season that anything like an accurate
return can be had. Wednesday evening,
however, word was telephoned the WATCH-
MAN office from Snow Shoe that the party
encamped at Six Mile ran had secured two
deer that day, one of which was shot by
Larry Redding, of Snow Shoe, and the
other by J. K. Johnston, of Tyrone. The
only other report heard was from Sugar
valley where Lion Goodman and the Bower
brothers each shot a deer. Early Wednes-
day morning a fawn, chased off the moun-
tain, ran through the streets of Loganton
but escaped before anybody around could
get a gun.
SEND IN A REPORT.
The WATCHMAN would like to ascertain
it reducing the open season for deer hunt-
ing to two weeks will prove beneficial and
to this end requests any reader of the paper
who knows of a deer being killed to please
report the same to this office so that it
will be possible to geta fairly correct ac-
count of the number of deer slain on the
mountains in this section.

THE NEXT ATTRACTION.— ‘Dr. Jekyll

stage, and ‘‘the eternal fitness of things’
is carried out to the smallest detail in cos-
tumes and settings. Mr. Elwyn Strong,
