FOR ASSEMBLY, JOHN NOLL. of Bellefonte. FOR JURY COMMISSIONER, ADAM HAZEL, of Spring Township. Mr. Quigley Should be Defeated. HENRY C. QUIGLEY Esq., of Bellefonte, is not the man to represent the people of Thirty-fourth senatorial district of Penn. sylvania. He should be defeated. He isa man of intelligence, well versed in the law and a good citizen, but the peculiar condi- tions that obtain in the contest that is to be fought out next Tuesday make his defeat part of the duty of every honest man. Whether by solicitation, accident or force of circumstances we do wot know, but he came under the influence of ‘‘the cor- rapt and criminal combivation masque. rading as Republicavs’’ in Pennsylvania and headed by that arch fraud Senator Boise PENROSE. As a result of his con- tact with the gang he was given a gavg nomination for Senator. Six weeks ago the WATCHMAN called on him for a declaration as to what he would do in the event that Senator PENROSE should be a candidate for re-election. If elected he would have a voice in chosing the next United States Senator from this State. Up to the moment of going to press this paper bas had no answer from Mr. QUIGLEY. The paramount issne of this contest is not Mr. QUIGLEY, nor ie it Senator PEN. ROSE. Itis the system they represent, The system or machine that has made the government of Pennsylvania a stewch in the nostrils of other Commonwealths, A system or machine that has driven men to murder and suicide, plundered public and private properties, wrecked banking insti tutions and left a trail of crimes in the archives of the State uotil, at last, public conscience bas awakened to restore civic righteousness. The work is a great one. It does not permit of temporizing with unocertainty. There can be no middle ground. On the one side is the machine trying by every conceivable plan known to political trick- sters to retain its grasp on the State. On the other is the great wass of honest citi- zens outraged and indignant that their cherished institations have been so tra- duced. Every freeman must take his stand. He must be for or against the machine. Mr. QUIGLEY has made no declaration. He hesitates in a crisis the, like of which you have never known. He should be de- feated. ——When the devil was sick the devil a monk would be. When the devil was well the devil a monk was he. The above is the platform of the gang in Peunsylvania. They are insisting that everything is all right now; that they bave reformed and will be good hereafter. This is their plea to stay in office. They can’t be trusted. They have had their chance and betrayed tbe people. Now they must go. ~—The Philipsburg hospital will need help from the next Legislature. We will need a Member who knows how to get ap- propriations up for consideration. An old Member is sarely better than a new one. Vote tor Joux NoLL. Candidate QUIGLEY’S platform is very elaborate, but he fails to tell the vot. ers the very thing they want to know. Yon can’t find a word in it as to whether he will vote for or against PENROSE, ——The Bellefonte hospital needs help from the next Legislature. We will need a Member who knows something about get- ting appropriations through. Vote for Jorx NoLL. { Why the Hon. John Noll Should be Re- turned to the Legisinture. Even laying aside the argument that he is entitled to a second tena; having made a faithfal official during his first, we pre- sent to the voters of Centre county the claim that Hon. JorN NoLy should be re- turned to the Legislature for still more potent reasons. As you well know ‘‘a new Member,” which is applied to men sitting in the Legislative balls for the first time, is not given the opportunities extended to an old one. While Mr. NoLL made himself felt two years ago, it stands to reason that he could render this connty mach more useful service in the coming session. He was among the few whe VOTED FOR EVERY REFORM MEASURE before the” House; he fought bard to keep the bill to permit trolleys to carry freight from dying in com- mittee and when the special session was called he was one of the leaders in the movement to induce the Governor to amend his proclamation that a bill might be passed forcing the railroads to give all travelers the benefit of the two cent a mile | rate. These acts establish his standing as a reformer in the House and inasmuch as the next General Assembly of Pennsylvania will sarely be a reform body it is only the part of wisdom to see that Mr. NoLi re- tains his seat in it. As av origingl reformer and an ‘‘old Member’’ be will be in a position to secure more consideration for bills in which the people of this county are concerned than a ‘“‘pew Member” could possibly do. And now that we have but one Representative in the lower House it is encumbent on us to see that we bave one who can do us the most good. : While we bave no desire to attack or dis- parage Mr. FRYBERGER, who is Mr. NoLL's opponent for the office, it must be plain to every one that he is not the man for this crisis. He basn’t a claim that Mr. NoLL can’t match. Both are pleasant men social- ly, good men morally and veterans of the Civil war, consequently their fitness re- solves itsell into one of how much they could do at Harrisburg, and all sides will | agree that ‘‘an old Member’ amounts to far more than ‘‘a new’ one. Especially will this be the case in the next session. If Mr. FRYBERGER should be elected one of the very aims of the great non- political fight now being waged in the State would be defeated. Pennsylvania must be reformed and Mr. FRYBERGER is not for 1eform. Six weeks ago she WATCH MAN asked him for a declaration as to whether he stood for the machine or for reform. Up to this moment he has made no answer. It was the machine that nomi- nated him aud in all probability the machine would domivate his. He was brought out as a candidate only to work injury to WOMELSDORF'S chauces for Senatorial hooors and head off Col. Jon A. DALEY, who was known to be for reform. The wachine didu't want either WOMELSDORF, whose record nn the lass Legislature was clean aud clear, or DALEY and how was their defeat accomplished ? Mr. QUIGLEY, present candidate for Senator, then the chairman of the Republican viganization in Centre county, used the organization to subvert the will of the people. His re. ward has been the vomiuvation for the of- fice he now seeks aud having secured - is through the aid of the machine he is as much of a machine mau a3 Mr. FRYBER- GER. We go into these details merely to show how the cause of reform you are now fight. ing for would be jeopardized by the elec- tion of Mr. FRYBERGER. It is not a case of personalities, friendships, political feel- ings or anything else in this fight. Itisa question of cleaning out the gang that has spent more for chandeliers, alone, in the new capitol, than the entire assessed valoa- tion of the town of Bellefonte. The hovest man can afford to take no chavoes. Therefore we assert that there is only ove thing for the voteis of Centre county to do. Re-elect JOHN NoLL. ——*“In the first place, I say, most heartily where there are local or municipal abuses, let the local stables be cleansed; let the good work go on vigor- ously.” The above were she opening words of Senator KN0OX'S speech in Philadelphia on Monday night. They tell his Republican friends in Pennsylvania in no uncertain tones that it is their duty to clean out the gang. ——Capt. BARCLAY may be an old sol- dier and a good man but Col. TAYLOR is a young soldier and one just as eminently qualified to sit in the hall of Congress, and every man in the district whe votes for EMERY for Governor will make no mistake in voting for TAYLOR for Congress, Com- ing up from the ranks of the laboring men he has filled every position to which he has been called with courage and fidelty. He has never known the word failare in his whole life's work and if elected to Congress there would be po such a word as failure in him doing his full daty to those he represents. ~—Thivk of it ! The thousand dollars that PENNYPACKER took away from the sick and injured who bave been in the Bellefonte hospital daring the past year bought only two of those gorgeous spittoons that sit around the floor of the capitol for the gang to spit in. ———Talk is cheap. It’s votes that count. Get every reform vote to the polls that you can next Tuesday. Beware of Last Cards. Voters throughout Centre county want to beware of the “‘last ecards” played by the political leaders. If you are for reform and good government don’t be deceived by any roorback sent out. Oue such was sent broadcast over Centre and Clearfield conn- ties yesterday in she shaps of a circular letter, purporting to come from the Penn- sylvania Board of Trade, in which the as- sertion was made that in answer to an in- quiry from tl. “ud HENRY C. QUIGLEY, Republican cavuidate for State Senator, declared himself in favor of a two cent rate on the railroads and for a trolley freight bill, and that GEORGE MM. DIMELING, the Democratic candidate, refused to avswer the question. The whole thing is a canard, as Mr. DIMELING very promptly declared himself in favor of the above measures, aod in sapport of his declaration we pab- lish the following letter received from him late yesterday: CLEARFIELD, PA.. Nov. 1st. Hon. P. GRAY MEEK, Bellefonte, Pa. My Dear Sir:—1 understand that a circular letter has been issued, purporting to have been signed by the Pennsylvania Board of Trade, stating that I refused to answer the question submitted by them to me as to whether I would support measures looking to the reduction of fare on railroads to two | cents, giving the trolley lines the right to carry freight, cote. I previously answered the same and wish to say to the people of Centre county and this Senatorial district that I am in favor of the above propositions and, if elected, will vote for all measures of that kind. Very sincerely yours, GEORGE M., DIMELING. a ——— ——This is no man’s fight, no party's fight. There is no one thinking of the plums but the editor of the Gazetle. Let them fall where they may we want the bonor of Pennsylvania upheld. Vote for reform. ——The cindidate in this fight who basn’t the courage to tell you where he stands shouldn’s bave the nerve to ask you to vote for him. a ——————— dered of your money fontee, 1 mile square stantial buildings, value,is . . .. . than one of the State's worth. ——What's the use of talking reform and cussing the thieves who have robbed the State of millions of dollars if you don’t help to kick them out of office when you have a chance. Next Tuesday you will bave your chance and if you don’t go out and vote remember that you will have no room to talk about the machine’s rascalities hereafter. ~--—1J4 is very important that we have a competent man for Jury Commissioner. ApAd HAZEL knows the people of Centre county and koows their fitness for jury duty therefor he would bea very useful man in helping to fill the wheel. ——Don’t let us have Centre county in the rear in the reform movement. Clear- field, which is paturally a Republican county,expects to give EMERY three thous- and majority. Why can’t Centre do as well ? If you all help she can. ~The Pennsylvania State College needs help from the next Legislature to complete its new agricultural building. Joux~ Nori knows all about the case and should be sent back to Harrisburg to help with the work next spring. ~—It isn’t much that ADAM HAZEL is asking for. All be wants is to be one of your Jury Commissioners. He is an old veteran, a sober man of good judgment and he would make a splendid official in that capacity. Vote for him. —You can afford to take no chances. Vote for the men who are openly for re- form. ADDITIONAL LOCALS. ——Workmen are pushing the repairs on Philip Beezer’s house, the old Wagner property on Spring street, fast toward com- pletion and is will likely be ready for oc- cupancy by the time winter sets in in real earnest. The repairs put on the property are extensive enough to say tbat the build- ing has been entirely remodeled and when completed will be so changed as not to be recognized as its former self. Bas it will make a most comfortable and convenient home. An Old Centre County Bey Writes of Emery's Standing. While Lewis EMERY’ life is like an open book and the people of Pennsylvania regard him as the unplacable foe of dis- honestly and corruption it always seems to carry so much more conviction when some one we know who bas lived with and worked with a man tells of his character. istics. For this reason we publish a letter from Frank D. Leyman, of Titusville, whom many Centre county friends will remember: . Titusville, Pa., Oct. 29-05. To the Editor of the Warcumax: Dear Sir:—~A former Centre county boy who has lived many years in the oil fields wants to tell you some of the things he knows about Lewis Emery, Jr. He came to Pioneer, a few miles south of this place forty years ago and began there to drill oil wells. He has been en- gaged in the business ever since and from the beginning there was not another man in the region who fought the Standard octopus like Emery did. All the oil people here, excepting those connected with the Standard monoply have implicit confidence in his sincerity. He is the foe of corruption wherever he finds it. He isa true maa and the people up here are awaiting for the election to proclaim to the State their great admiration for him, Look out for a land-slide for Emery and the fusion ticket up this way. Yours respectfully Frask D. Levuvs, ~ Col. TAYLOR has made a strong aod wanly fight in his campaign for Con- gress in this district. His work bas been largely a personal one and he bas not said one word derogatory to his oppon- ent. And now on the very eve of the elec- tion is can be said with all candor that his chances of election are very good. There is no doubt but that he will carry Centre county by a good sized majority; in fact he should receive almost as many votes as EMERY, for all those who believe in a change of goverment should not stop with voting for just one man on the reform ticket. And in the other counties of the district be should go along with the rest of the ticket. See to this fact, fellow re. formers, on election day. ~—If you are for reform see that your vote is polled.

Regular prices prevail for the night performance but for the matinee the prices will be 10 cents for children and 25 cents for adults. ~——Modeling after the team contest for the solicitation of members for the Y. M. C. A. last winter a similar contest was waged for members of the Epworth League in this place between two teams, the one captained hy Sydney Keiler and the other by Miss Rachel Shuey, the losing side to furnish a banquet for all. There were ten members on each team and the total of new members secured for the League was sixty-four, Miss Shuey’s side winning by a small majority. And on last Friday evening, after being entertained for an hour by the president, Miss Grace Black- ford, at her home, all repaired to Mrs. Taoner’s boarding house and partook of a most delicious banquet. ~———Mrs. James Corl, who underwent an operation in the Bellefonte hospital ten days ago, is getting along very nicely and on a fair way to recovery.

Dr. Hayes was first in line when he bought John 8. Walker's Cadillac car. Fast week Dr. M. J. Locke bought Hugh Crider’s Cadillac run- about and Friday Dr. Sebring went to Williamsport and bought a second-hand, 1904 model, Franklin. Robert F. Hun- ter went along to the Lumber city and hrought the machine home for him, as it is the same make as Mr. Hunter's. — = Ever since T.

H. Derstine, of Ridge street, was run over by a market wagon and seriously injured. It bas been the custom of the boys and girls of Bellefonte to jump on market wagons for the two fold purpose of gettingan apple or some kind of fruit as well as a ride, and all the driver can say or do will not keep the children off. Satur- day morning a farmer was driving from house to house on east Lamb street when the little Derstine girl climbed on his wazon. A jolt of the wagon threw her off and the heavy vehicle passed over her stomach. She was carried home and a doctor summoned and, strange as it may seem, no bones were broken, but at this writing it is not known how bad the internal injuries are. JAIL DELIVERY FRUSTRATED.—Robert Hendershot made a good job of going through F. B. Blair & Co's jewelry store bus be was foiled in two attempts to break jail. For some time past the sheriff bas had his suspicions of Hendershot’s actions and one day last week, while ont in the yard exercising, he climbed on the roof of an out-building and intended climbing over the wall by the aid of a telephone wire bat was caught in the act by deputy sheriff Rees, who was watching for something of the kind. Wednesday evening when the prisoners ware locked up for the night Hendershot’s celi was searched aud the discovery was made that he had sawed a hole in the floor big enough to get through and had then replaced the boards very carefully and was only waiting a favorable opportunity to get down into the cellar when escape would have been comparative. Spring Mills, Allison Bros. had their milling establish- ment thoroughly fumigated last week. The mill was closed and barred from Saturday morning until Monday. Oar hunters are not meeting with any great success in bagging game. Occasionally a wild turkey is secured. Of course such being the case, the barn yards are not suffer. ing very much, A number of men were husking corn on the farm of Adam Ertel at the cross roads on Friday last, and when summoned to dinner, all appeared but a Mr. Miller, of Brush valley, and on seeking for him he was dis. covered in the field dead. Our popular landlord, Warren Wood, has had his hotel crowded for the last two or three weeks. With a dozen or more tele- phone men and his regular transient trade, it keeps him busy to properly accommodate them. Yet he does, and says he always will, even if he is forced to sleep on the cork of an ink bottle. The hotel never had a more popular and accommodating landlord than Mr. Wood. Former State Senator Heinle, accompanied by candidate Geo. M. Dimeling, were here last week setting up their political fences besides seeking old and making new friends. Mr. Dimeling is a very courteous and polish- ed gentleman, sustains an unblemished char. acter, with abilities and intelligence of the highest order, and ranks high wherever he is known, and especially so in this Gibraltar of Democracy. Likewise Mr. Heinle, who has won golden opinions from all sorts of people, by his courageons and manly political course in the past. To judge from the out- look Mr. Dimeling will evidently sweep this district like a whirlwind. Indications are that Mr. Quigley will not poll his party vote in this valley. The friends of Mr. H. M. Allison, and they are legion on this side of the mountains, have not forgotten the in- famous trick he played so successfully in bowling out—cheating would be a better phrase, their choice for the nomination for treasurer of the county, particularly when he was fairly and honestly nominated by the convention. Bat Quigley, it will be remem- bered, by an audacious and bold stroke of pure trickery, swindled Mr. Allison out of the nomination. This scurvy and knavish piece of work has not been forgotten mor overlooked but the friends of Mr. Allison have been waiting patiently for the first opportunity to retaliate to pay him back with compound interest. That opportunity has now arrived and that they will use theirin- fluence and vote against him is unquestion- able. Mr. Quigley is the nominee of the machine,a political trickster of a high grade, a tool of Penrose and the gang, and notwith- standing his recent grandiloquent appeal soliciting support, his overwhelming defeat is a foregone conclusion. Pine Grove Mentions. sn. Mrs. Caroline Grimes has been quite ill the past week. James A. Decker is transacting business in Atloona this week, John Shavk and wife, of Shiugletown, spent Sunday with friends in town. Mrs. Thos. A. Frauk, who hus been sick the past several wecks, is improving. Master Ralph, son of J. B. Heberling, is suffering with un attack of typhoid fever.

So far as heard from Hamill Goheen is the champion corn husker, having husked and hauled in sixteen hundred bushels in sixteen days. Mrs. Lewis Barto will dispose of her per- sonal effects at public sale on Saturday, Nov. 10th, will break up housekeeping and go back to her parents home. Mr. Ulrich, of Snyder county, is visiting at the home of his son-in-law, Rev. J. I. Stonecypher. He is a most genial old gene tlemsn and well informed on current topics. Farmer Cal Trostle with his right-bower Charley Briggs enjoyed a drive through the Glades on Sunday. It was their first trip and they were delighted with the good roads and splendid farm homes. The public sale of James Lytle on Saturday was not largely attended but bidding was brisk and stock brought good prices. Fresh cows sold at the $50 mark. Mr. Lytle intends making sale in the spring and will quit the farm. ——A couple weeks ago Ernest, the twelve year old son of Mr. and Mrs. Arista Lucas, of Union townsbip, was picking apples when he fell from the top of a tall ladder and was very seriously injured.
