He was represented as the ‘champion drummer from Bellefonte’’ and the staff artist ene- ceeded in making the facial resemblance,at least, fairly recognizable. —-—Mrs. Mitchell Lieb -was among the unfortunates last week as she fell in the attic, on Friday, and broke her ankle. One so rarely has lvisare to sit down aud think over pleasant times past that it may be some consolation to Mrs. Leib in this en- forced idleness to re-enjoy the long visit she bad just returnel from making with ber daughter, Mrs. Samuel Taylor, in New York. ——(ne day last week while Misses Ida and Lillie Snyder, of Nittany valley, were gathering raspberiies on the farm of John Snyder the former stepped on the tail ofa eopperbead spake. Quick as a flash al- most the suake struck but by a dexterouns moveweu: the young woman avoided the thrush an! got away without being bitten, but so badly frightened was she that no attempt was made to kill she reptile. ———Cards have been received announo- ing the marriage of Miss Eaphemia {Weir Pomeroy, of Harrisburg, to Dr. Oscar Freer Hills, of Wooster, Ohio, which oc- ourred at the home of the bride's parents on July 17th.

H. Nason, with his two onte little sons, J. C. and Orlando, wasin town on Taesday attending to somegbusi- ness and giving the lads a good time. He was the bearer of the very unacceptable news that our old huutiog friend Jobn Williams, of Martha, met with an accident a few days ago that lost him several toes of ome foot. While cutting wood he cut off all the toes except the little one, which goes to show that his unerring aim with a sifleien’s as dperring with an axe. ——]f you want to see England, France, @ermany, the countries of the Orient, the Aborigines, ete., happily portrayed you will waos to take in the Midway to be held by the ladies of she Bellefonte hospital in the armory Auguss 20th—25th.

Gray farm at Graysdale was strock by lightning and barned to the ground. The fire occnrred abont 2.30 o'clock and the family succeeded in getting all the stock but one horse out of the barn #8 well as most all the farm implements. In addition to one horse seventeen four- horse loads of wheat, the early crop of hay and some grain were burned. The barn was a large one, so that the loss will reach be. tween two and three thousand dollars, with abont eight hundred dollars ivsur. ance, Sr — U. 8. REGULARS ON THE MARCH.—The people of Snow Shoe were very much ex- cited Wednesday morning when a lot of United States soldiers made their appear- ance in that place, and at once telephoned to Bellefonte for assistance to defend the town but were soon assured that t! cy were in no danger as the soldiers w.ic sim- ply a body of troops on the march to Ms, Gretna. This is the time of year when all U. 8. troops are marching to concentration camps for a couple months drilling. The troops above mentioned marched over the mountain and camped at Milesburg Wed- nesday night and that evening were visited by many Bellefonters. There were just two hundred and fourteen men and they composed the third battalion, three com- panies, of the Twelfth regiment, from Baul- falo, N. Y., under the command of Major G. P. Andrus. Their wagon train consist- ed of four four-mule teams and an ambu- lance. They were in heavy mafching or- der, carrying the Merriam knapsack, which weighs ninety pounds. Since their start only twelve men gave out and bad to be sent back to the barracks, though some knapsacks were discarded and most of the soldiers bad sore feet, owing to tuo tight fitting shoes and cotton hose, instead of wearing loose shoes and woolen hose, as ordered. The requirements are for a match of two hundred miles going to camp and two hundred returning and when the soldiers reached Lock Haven they had cov- ered their distance and took the train there for the balance of the journey. Owing to the rain they were just one day late on the trip. The Twelfth regiment did service in the Philippines, baviog arrived home only on May 24th.

Plans and specifications of the work can be seen at the county commissioner's office and all bide must be in by the latter part of August. The estimated cost per mile for building such highway is from four thousand dollars up. Application had also been made for the building of sucha road between Milesburg and Bellefonte but the application was defective and another will have to be made. HARD ON THE WHEAT CROP. —The bard rains of last week and this bave badly in- terfered with the farmers in getting in their wheat crop. All of the grain was cut and in shook but a very small portion of the crop bad been hauled in when the big storm of Monday of last week ocourred. At that time some of the wheat in the low fields next the creek was washed away but not enough to amount to anything. Since then it has rained almost every day eo that the wheat bas had no chance to dry out and now there is great danger of it growing in the shock, and unless there is soon drying weather the bumper wheat crop of this county will be partly spoiled. The oats crop is looking well and will likely be a large one while the corn and potatoes are coming along splendidly. MerHoDIST DAY.—Thursday, August 20d, bas been set as Methodist day as Lakemont park, Altoona. The biggest preparations are being made for this an- nual gathering of the followers of Wesley.

Meyer, of this place, on Monday, and appropriated an aggregate of $750 for various amusements and expenses of the picnio to be beld at Hecla park on August 16th. This is the same amount as appro- priated last year. A wong the amusements will be a game of. 5. ball between the Patton and Milte ums, an interesting game of water } + ll, an inter-county clay pigeon sh or dancing afternoon and evening and a big display of fireworks at night. There will be two bands and two orchestras presents, one from each county, and these will insure an abundance of musio during the day. Remember the date of the picnic is only three weeks away and you want to have everything in readi- ness to attend. POO ne ——Thomas Beaver and a party of friends are occupying the Willows this week. i ——— ~— L. C. Bullock bas opened up his car- riage factory in the old chain works baild- ings midway between Bellefonte and Milesburg and is now prepared to do any and all kinds of work entrusted to him. See his ad. in this issue. —— On Wednesday the venerable J. L. M ulbolland, father of Mrs. C. C. Shuey, was seventy-nine years old and in celebra- tion of the event the Shueys entertained a party of friends at their home on High street. Among the guests were William Mulholland, of Clearfield; Mrs. Andrew Stover, of Curwensville; Mr. and Mrs. R. W. Mulholland, of Altoona; Mrs. 8. B. Riling, of Altoona; Mrs. Margaret Brach- bill, of Williamsport, and Rev. and Mrs. J. B. Stein, of this place. ——Bellefonters were somewhat startled Wednesday noon by the sight of the strange phenomenon of a ring around the sun, a veritable rainbow. Of course the superatitious oes all believed it a sign por- tending some disaster or coming fatality, which isall b “~oh rings bave been seen before ana been explained by astronomers as b weed by a storm somewhere, the ri ing merely the re- flection of the sun’s ys as is the case in the appearance of any rainbow. a————— A sm a——— —— Mon day’s storm was the most severe out in the region of Pleasant Gap where the residents claim it amounted toa cloud burst. The water came down Machride’s gap in a raging torrent, washing away part of the branch raiload running from the Lewisburg and Tyrone road to the White- rock limestone quarries, and completely flooding the grounds of the Bellefonte fish batchery. All the fish ponds were under water to a depth of almost one foot and at the time it was feared that many of the trout wonld go out into the stream but when the water subsided and the ponds clea red up it was found that the trous were all there with the exception of two or three dozen No. 2 fiogerlings. The fish laid close to the bottom of the ponds to keep below the muddy water as much as possible. re Gp —— Among the good things shat have come to us this week are two pounds of white and amber honey, from the hives of Emanuel Noll. It is an ill wind that blows nobody good, while this season may not have been riost auspicious, in many respeots, for the farmer, it has made a golden barvest for the beckeeper, with blossoms of some sort ever present to fur- nish nectar for the busy little inseots. Last year Mr. Noll had eight hundred sec- tions from eight colonies ; this year he ex- peots twelve hundred sections from the same number of colonies. While one of the oldest, beekeeping is yet one of the newest occupations, and the man who fol- lowed it a few years ago with only praotio- al knowledge is now learning the added value of theoretical knowledge. Mr. Noll is & member of the State Beekeepers’ As- sociation, and has most of the reliable lit- erature on the subject, and with years of experience, has become an authority in the business. Frorey—Mre. Sophia Florey was born April 8th, 1827, and died Jane 27th, 1906, aged 79 years, 2 months and 19 days. She was the widow of Joseph Florey and most of her life was spent in the vicinity of Pleasant Gap. She was a consistent mem- ber of the Lutheran church, a kind neigh- bor and beloved by all who koew her. Surviving her are two daughters and one son, Elizabeth, at home, and Mrs. Mary Dolan and William, of Pleasant Gap. “A precious one from us has gone,’ A voice we loved is stilled; A place is vacant in our home, Which never can be filled. God in his wisdom has recalled, The boon his love had given, And though the body slumbers here, The soul is safe in Heaven,” I I I BiggLy.—Samuael Bierley, a descendant of one of the pioneer families of Biush valley, died at bis home in Tylersville Tuesday of last week. He bad been in ill health for more than a year and for five weeks was confined to his bed. Two weeks prior to his death he was stricken with paralysis which doubtless hastened the end. Deceased was a son of John and Mary Catbarine Bierley and was 78 years old. He is survived by seven children, six sons and one daughter. The funeral was held last Friday. I i i TroMPSON.—Mra. Annie Thompson died at eight o'clock Sunday evening in Me- Girk’s eanitorium, Philipsburg. Two weeks ago she underwent an operation and bad apparently about recovered when a new complication set in last Friday which resulted in her deathon Sunday. Deceased was 67 years of ageand was a native of Baltimore. She is survived by two davghbters, Mrs. William Peters, of Philipsburg, and Miss Susie at home. The funeral was held on Wednesday after- noon, interment being made in the new cemetery. j : i PoorMAN.—Sarah M. Poorman, wife of Edward B. Poorman, died at her home on the Jacksonville road, three miles east of Bellefonte, Thursday of last week, of heart trouble, after an illness of three years. She was the daoghter of Daniel Grove, of Zion, and was aged 33 years and 6 months, She is survived by ber hus. band hut no children. The funeral was held on Monday morning, interment heing made at Zion. — At a meeting of representatives of both the Logan and Undine fire companies, last Thursday evening, John J. Bower, of the Logans, was elected chief fire marshall for the coming year ; George L.

Gardner and son Harold are spending the week with friends in Milroy and Lewistown. —Miss Lide Thomas, of Philadeiphia, is at her home in this place this week on account of the {liness of her mother, Mrs. Isaac Thomas. Mrs, Wm, Crawford and two children, of Cole- ville, departed Monday for several weeks’ visit with her sisters in Sunbury and Northumberland. —Miss Helen Schaeffer is now enjoying her ten days vacation. Last week she spent at her grandfather's in Nittany, this week she is in Miflinburg and will probably return home on Saturday. ~Mrs, James R. Hughes and Miss Emma Green are going to Willhamsport on Monday for a short visit with friends. Mrs, Dinges has not made her stay so abbreviated as she has been there ever since the Centennial celebration. —W. H, Gardner, of Pittsburg, son of A. J. Gardner, of Howard, and a brother of M. I. Gard. ner, of this place, was in Howard last Saturday and spent the fiftieth anniversary of his birth in the house in which he was born. It was not a family reunion, however, but simply a home- coming of Will and the fact that both his father and mother are still enjoying the best of health was pleasure enough for the day. —J. W, Grove, of State College, took advantage of the first rainless day in ten, and called to see ns on Tuesday. He is recovering from a series of ilinesses—pneumonia, measies with attendant complications—begun in February and while now in better health is yet unable to work as steadily or hard as he has always caredto. It is unusual nowadays to hear of a man who wants to work any more than he has to and most of us are looking for the job—doing little—that Mr. Grove does not like. —Sometimes we have to be ili to find out how much our friends think of vs, and although Salmon would usually be considered a rather dangerous diet for a convalescent it proved other- wise to Mr. 8. A. Bell, on Wednesday, when al- most a school of them came up stream to see him. Mrs. John Salmon, of Kansas City, has been vis- iting friends in Lock Haven and with Mrs. David Salmon, spent Wednesday as the guest of Mr. and Mrs, Bell. Mr, Salmon stopped off at Hecla to attend a picnic but when he found no young girls—on his own confession, mind you—he came on up to finish the day where he was sure of an abundance of good entertainment. ~— Neither the excessive heat, nor the torrential rains that we have had during the past few days seem to deter some people in the work of doing good. They must be at it all the time, for when they remember the editor it is a sure sign that all the rest of their “house is in order,” It is strange, the habitual practice of paying for the family newspaper the last thing, but such is the custom with most folks, though to some it hasn't even become a custom—they don’t pay for it at ail. That is the reason the Warcnsaxy takes such pleasure in commenting on those who do and that is the reason we have the following on our honor roll: C, M. Mufily, 8, F. Kline, Howard; M. J. Beezer, Clearfield; Michael Grenoble, Lamar, A. H. Hugg, Philipsburg; Mart Cooney, A. J. Cook, George Markle, Emanne! Noll; IH. 8. Tay, lor and William Crawford, Bellefoate; G. F. Mil. ler G. W.

Finkelstine, proprietor of the five and ten cent store, who has been in Bellefonte since the 2nd of July, left on Monday for Harris- burg and Atlantic City to look after his stores in that place while V. J. Bauer will be head man in the store here. — Mrs, John Stuart was one of Wednesday's earl y visitors from State College, as she came down to meet one of the morning trains, The last heard of Mr, Stuart was that he was snowball. ing on Pike's Peak, which probably acecunts for the sudden and acceptable fall in temperature here. — Mrs. Louis Graver, two children and a maid left on Tuesday for Cape May, where her mother, Mrs. Estelle Lyon, and Mrs. Lichten, have had a cottage since the first of June, Mrs. Graver will spend two weeks with them there then go to New York to purchase her goods for the fall and win- ter; the children will remain until September. —Mr, and Mrs, W. C. Patterson, their grand. son, William Patterson McDonald, and Professor and Mrs. Irving Foster, of State College, ducked showers between trains on Saturday morning, while returning from a day in Snow Shoe. Prof. and Mrs, Foster will leave thie week for an ex- tended tour of the Lakes and other points of in- terest. —Sara and Margaret, the twin daughters of Ed- gar Swartz, of Punxsutawney, who have been vis- iting their aunt, Mrs, Caswell, went to Tyrone on Saturday, where they will remain a few days then go on home. It isaneventof no small import- ance to these two little misses to be thus travel. ing alone and they are thoroughly enjoying the unusual experience, —Mrs, Mary M. Dolan, of Pleasant Gap, spent last Friday in town transacting business. Sheis one of the Warcnmax's most appreciated callers and we regret groatly that ill health and bereave- ment have been her portion the past months, To be deprived of father, mother, and break up home is indeed a loss more irreparable than many of us could philosophically bear. —Miss Ella Rhone, of Los Angeles, Cal, was one of the out of town visitors last Friday. The past winter she spent in graduate work in nurse training at the Memorial hospital, New York, but will return to the Pacific coast the first of September. She is now the guest of her aunt, Miss Keller, in Boalsburg, and of her uncle, Hon. Leonard Rhone, in Centre Hall, —Mrs. Anna Berry Beech, of Oakland, Califor nia, is visiting friends in Bellefonte and Centre county. Mrs, Beech will be remembered as the daughter of Dr. Berry, of Lemont, thus being a cousin of one branch of the Curtin family. She went to California thirty-two years ago and this is her first visit east. Naturally many changes have taken place hereabouts in that time which she notes with evident interest. —~ J. C. Meyer Esq., left on Tuesdey on a busi. ness trip to Philadelphia. When we say “busi ness” we don'texactly mean legal or such like just because he is a lawyer, as it is more likely that his trip is in the interest of that new fire brick plant he and several other Bellefonters in- tend starting in Clearfield county just as soon as they can get things in shape to do so. And, of course, we hope they may have unlimited success in their undertaking. ~David Miller with Mrs. Miller visited their son, J. B. Miller, last Friday. They are making arran gements to leave the farm and move into Pine Grove Mills, as Mr, Miller's health has been impaired for Lhe last four years, and, although Mrs. Miller has proven as practical and success- fui a farmer as her husband, they feel it is time to retire from hard work and enjoy an easier life. With leisure it is to be hoped that Mr, Miller will find time to make record of the interesting Revo- lutionary experiences of his family, as they sound like a page from history. ~1t is not flattery to say many things more than location are ideal abut Pine Grove. If, as Shake- speare says, “One touch of nature makes the world kin,” the generous touch by which these people are s urrounded may account for their considera. tion for fellow man, for it is certainly true that few communities in proportion keep up so well their subscriptions. W. G. O'Bryan was the cause of this apostrophe. He spent last Friday in town and may the Lord make eflectual our prayer that not galy Pine Grove subscribers, but all others, Er it remember us with dollars as regularly as he does. —Prof. Edwin Twitmire, an old Centre county boy who claims Hublersburg as the place of his birth, but who for a number of years past has made his home in the State of Washington, was in Bellefonte snd Centre county recently visiting frie nds, leaving last week to join Mrs. Twitmire in New York, where she is visiting her people. Prof. Twitmire is now superintendent of the schools at Bellingham, Wash., going there from Seattle, where he had been at the head of the schools a number of years. In his adopted State he is cons idered one of the brightest and ablest of educational instructors. —John A. Hunter, professor of mechanical en, gineering in the University of Colorado, Boulder, returned to Centre county, last Saturday, where he will spend the rest of the summer on his fa- ther's farm—so he says—but it will probably be sporti ng around as he has so many friends here, particularly among the girls, and always keenly enjoys such pastimes. He is to be congratulated that he comes seeking pleasure rather than healt h—as the glorious climate of Colorado has given him abundance of that—and with such a roll of greenbacks that he had to unload at bank the first thing on arriving here. Yes, he's taking fiyers in real estate, and successful ones too, so that it is slight wonder he is so ready to advise, “Young men, go west.” ~Johu L. McGinley is rusticating in Atlantic City with periodical trips to —Mrs. Edward Whittaker and three children visited friends in Lewistown the past week. —Clyde Smith went to Johnstown, lsst Satur- day, and spent the Sunday with his brother, Will H.

Clayton Etters is going it single handed with his milling business, on account of a broken wrist, On account of getting squeezed between two wagons Frank Fishburn is nursing a sore shoulder. Milton Corl and sister Mary left last Mon- day for a month's visit with friends at Punxsutawney. P. B. aud Walter Burket, of Stormstown, are making some needed repairs at J. B. Ard’s mansion.

Va,, is at home ill with typhoid fever. Clyde and Will Collins, of Pitcairn, are spending the heated season at their parent's home, on Main street. Walter, son of Hon. J. T. McCormick, has taken a position as electrician in New York City, where he went last week. Miss Sadie Dannley and her nephew, G. D. Moore, are making a month's visit among the Dannley boys and other friends, at Medina, O. Mr. and Mrs. C. M. Fry are among the guardsmen at Gettysburg this week. They will round up their visit in the city of Brotherly Love. Cloyd Smeltzer is now a free holder hav. ing bought at private sale the Humes farm on Buffalo Run. The price paid was $7,200, It is one of the best farms in that valley. The buzz of the steam thresher is heard. So far Andy Lytle reports the best yield. His model farm at Shingletown yielded a bushel to the dozen, 400 bushels off of a field that grew nothing but briars for the last twenty years. Last Friday Walter Gates’ barn was struck by lightning and burned to the ground with all of this years’ crop of grain and bay and farm implements. Most of our readers will remember it as the Henderson farm on Shavers creek. The venerable James Lytle was taken to the German hospital, in Philadelphia, last Tuesday, to receive treatment for a growth on his cheek. I. N. Hoy, wife and daugh- ter Grace, accompanied the old gentleman and will visit relatives in the city. Willie, son of Frank Thomas, came near being ground to death recently. While try- ing to mount a loaded wagon he fell under the wheel, was run over and his hip crush- ed. The wagon was loaded with 1100 feet of green lumber and it is a miracle he was not killed. Clement Dale Esq., of Bellefonte, spent Friday at the old home at Oak Hall, looking after the family gathering which will take place August 4th, the date of the original deed made in 1790. The Dale family is one of the oldest and best known in Centre county and will hold its second annual re- union at the old home and farm now owned and occupied by A, W. Dale.
