Primary Elections Tomorrow. Tumorrow will be the first experiment of the new primary elections law in Centre county and naturally the result will be watched with considerable interest. While not very intricate it 1s, however, replete with so many stipulations and provisos that it is hardly likely they are all known by mere than one-tenth of the voters in the county. So for the benefit of WATCHMAN readers we herewith give the important points of the law : The polls will be open from 2 o'clock until 8 o'clock p. m., and the election will be conducted by the general election offi” cers, who will receive ball the amount of the pay for a general election. The county commissioners are required to furnish the ballots and pay all necessary expenses. The qualification of electors entitled to vote at a primary shall be the same as the qualifications of electors entitled to vote at elections within the election district where such primary is held. No elector shall receive any assistance in markiog his ballot unless he shall first make an affidavit that be caunot read the pames on the ballot, or by reason of phys. ical disability he is unable to mark the ballot. At the polls Republicans will call for Re- publican ballots and Democrats for Demo- cratic ballots. Republicans cannot vote Democratic ballots nor Democrats Repub- lican ballots, and any attempt to do 80 will subject the voter to having his vote challenged and rejected. That our readers may know just who they are entitled to vote for we below give a list of all the candidates as properly reg- istered in the office of the county commis- sioners ° REPUBLICAN PRIMARY BALLOT.

Mr. SANDERS was widely known and highly esteemed and thoogh his life was not long or his activeness widespread. he did what he could to increase the sum of human bappi- ness and achieved much. As the esteemed Philadelphia Record curtly expressed it, ‘‘he was a good citizen and a good Demo- cras,’’ and no stronger panegyric could be written. ——No doubt ROOSEVELT is de-light-ed with the prospect of Senator KNOX being a candidate for President. He knows that the supporters of KXox don’t want him nominated and that if he were out of the way the cohesive power of public patronage would entice the Pennsylvania delegation to TAFT, who is his own ‘‘dummy.” But be is obliged to pretend a satisfaction whether he feels it or not. ——We have no sympathy for the Iowa bachelor who has appealed to the police ‘‘to prevent women from making love to him.” We are not impressed with the wisdom of women who would waste their sweetness on such a lump of worthless earth, but if there are such we hope they will pursue him into the grave and make “his miserable life wretched to the end. ——— Philadelphia is likely to get what is coming to herand that isa complete and unmercifal looting. The business men of that city are as corrupt as the machine pol- iticians if they express their purposes in their votes.

VETERAN FARMER Passps AwaAy.— There was probably not a better koown resident in the western part of Centre and eastern end ol Huntingdon counties than John J. Goheen, the veteran “| farmer of Ferguson township,and his death at his home near Rock Springs, at 5 o'clock last Friday morning, marks the passing away of one who was probably the oldest resident in that locality. A man who was born, reared and lived all bis life iv the same house in which he died, and who was known to every wan, woman and child of that neighborhood far better than any other man. For eighty-eight years bie bad braved the wintry snows and the heat of summer suns but at last the, mechanism of the human system had run its course and his spirit took its flight to the God who gave it; his death being the result of no particular disease but merely the complete wearing out of the system. Deceased was a son of Mr. and Mrs, Joseph Goheen, pioneer settlers of Fergu- son township, and was born in the old bomest:ad August 30th, 1818, so that he was just nine months and twenty-four days past eighty-eight years of age. In those days there were no public schools and Mr. Goheen'’s education was received entirely in what was then known as subscription schools. When a young man he followed in the footsteps of his father and worked on the farm and when his father died he succeeded him as tiller of the old home- stead, in which occopation he engaged all his life. A number of years ago he gave up the active management of his farm though up uutil the past year he always retained a supervising interest in it. And in all that community there was not a man who proved a more successful farmer, or one who had greater esteem of his neigh- bors and}friends than did Mr. Goheen. He was the soul of honest integrity and was progressive in every phase of his business life. Socially and as a neighbor he was esteemed far and wide. When the Civil war broke out Mr. Goheen was too old to enlist, but he buckled on his drum and led the boys of Company E a: far as Camp Cartin, at Harrisburg, from where he was sent home. In 1844 Mr. Goheen was united in mar- riage to Miss Sarah Rider, of Gatesburg, and to them was born a large family of children, all of whom have attained quite a degree of prominence in the localities in which they are located. His eldest son was Rev. J. Milligan Gobeen,who for years was a missionary in India, and who died only ahout six months ago. Mrs. Goheen died in 1891 but surviving are four sons and four daughters, as follows: J. C., I. M. and H. B. Goheen, of Tyrone; Mrs. William McWilliams and Mrs. Frank Gardoer, of Rock Springs; R. B. Goheen, of Pennsyl- vania Furoace, and Misses Jennie and Belle Goheen at home. Mr. Goheen became a member of the Preshyterian church when a young man and all his life lived strictly up to the tenets of its dootrines, being an able sup- porter of the Graysville church. Faneral services were held at the late home of the deceased at 1 o'clock on Monday afternoon. Rev. R. M. Campbell, his pastor, assisted hy Revs, Platts, of Bellefonte, and Gunter, of Tyrone, officiated, while his four sons with Daniel M. Clemson, of Pittsburg, and Clark Clemson, of Altoona, acted as pall- bearers. Interment was made in the Grays- ville cemetery. il I I SHEARER.—Many of the older residents of Blanchard and the lower end of Bald Eagle valley will remember John D. Shear- er, a son of the late James Shearer, who went to Wamego, Pattawatomie couonty, Kansas, in 1872, and will regret to learn of his death on May 16th, after more than a year’s illness, Deceased was born in Blanchard in 1844, and was thus sixty-three yeas of age. His wife was a Miss Neyhart, of near Blanch- ard, who survives with three children. Mr. Shearer served through the war as a mem- ber of the Eleventh Pennsylvania volun- teers. After going west he was engaged most all his life in farming. He was a man of the strictest integrity and heid in high esteem by all who knew him. I i i PATTON.—Quite a number of Centre countians knew Jobn Patton, au ex-United States Senator of Grand Rapids, Mich., and will regret to hear of his death, last Friday, after a lingering illness wiih pnea- monia. Senator Patton was born in Cur- wensville and was a brother of the late Alexander E. Patton, who represented this district in the State Senate several years ago. His father was the Hon. John Patton, at one time a member of Congress from this district. He is survived by a widow and three soos. i 1 1 SMiTH.—Mrs. Lizzie Smith died at 8 o'clock on Monday morning at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Clay Rider,at Coleville, after a long illness with a complication of dis- eases. She was about sixty-eight years of age and is survived by one son, who lives in Jersey Shore. The remains were taken to Clearfield on Taesday for barial. 8 B KrLINGER—Robert Malin Klinger, sou of Mr. and Mrs. Edward Klioger, was found dead in the cradle last Friday morning. Pneumonia was the direct canse of death. The child wae aged two years and five months, The faneral was held on Sunday afternoon. 8 os ——Mr. and Mrs. W. C. Lingle are en- tertaining quite a house party at their home on east Linn street, it being the pre- nuptial gathering of friends who will be present at the marriage of their daughter, Miss Virginia, to Howard C. Rugger, next Wednesday. IN MEMORY OF DR. ATHERTON.—Me- morial services in honor of the late Dr. George W. Atherton, president of The Pennsylvania State College, who died last July, were held in the anditorium last Sanday morning. Quite an elaborate pro- gram was given, which incloded addresses by Rev. George M. Whitenack, Jr., Dr. Benjamin Gill, Gen. James A. Beaver, Fred Keeler Brewster, '07; Frank P. Simon, '09, and Dr. Judson P. Welsh, with appropriate music by the College glee club. The memorial address delivered by Rev. George M. Whitenack, Jr, former pastor of the Presbyterian church of State College, the theme of which was ‘‘Man’s Divine Inheritance,” had been very carefully thooght out, and its tone was wholesome and belpful. Dr. Benjamin Gill, the college chaplain, with bis customary admirable skill, por- trayed Dr. Atherton’s wonderful character and personality with remarkable clearness. Especially noteworthy was the thought thas Dr. Atherton’s dominant idea ever was that he was president, nos of The Penn- sylvania State College as he found it when he accepted its presidency, but of the ideal institution which he meant to build up and iotended that is should be, and which it bas so largely become through his con- stant devotion and earnest endeavors. Dr. Atherton’s conception of the institution was most clearly shown by the recital of an incident which occurred eatly in Dr. Gill’s connection with the College. Before the latter came to the institution be had some cards engraved with the title “'Penn- sylvania State College’’ in the left-hand corner. On seeing this, Dr. Atherton call- ed bis attention to the fact that the omis- sion of the word ‘“The’ was a rather ser- ious error, since the legal name of the in- stitution was ‘The Pennsylvania State College,”’ showing that his feeling was that this institution should be and was intend- ed to be the only State College in Penn- sylvania—the only one of its kind, unique, separate and apart. Those long connected with the College well remember President Atherton’s insistence in this particular matter. Dr. Gill's remarks were followed by an appropriate talk by General Beaver, who took for his theme ‘‘Greater love hath no mau than this, that he lay down his life for his friend.”’ He spoke impressively of the sacrifice which Dr. Atherton had made of his life for the work and the institution which he so loved. He dwelt particularly on the fact that it matters not what form one’s friend takes, whether it be that of an institution or a country or an idea, so that he gives his best self for his ideal, for the thing which he loves and makes his life's work—then, be lays down his life for his friend. His statement that Dr. Atherton never made a more glorions sacrifice than when he fell at his post last summer, still defending, still laboring for bis ideal, his love, which was the institution to which he gave the best of his life, was most inspiring; his thought that Dr. Atherton’s personality still lives, not in the hearts of men only, but in another sphere of usefulness, was full of cheer. Fred Keeler Brewster, representing the class of 1907,expressed in a few well chosen words the appreciation of the members of the class of Dr. Atherton’s services and words of counsel spoken to them in the old chapel when they entered as Freshmen four years ago. Frank P. Simon then an- anounced that the clase of 1909 were having prepared a suitable tablet which would be placed over the resting place of the Presi- dent. A few remarks by Dr. J. P. Welsh upon Dr. Atberton’s views of the sort of develop- ment which college training shoanld bring to the coliege youth brought the services to a close. i le Bibs ror BuiLpING STATE Roap AWARDED.—On Saturday the awards were made for the building of the new state road hetween Bellefonte and Milesburg. There were but two bidders, J. K. Palmer & Co., of Clearfield, and R. B. Taylor & Co., of Bellefonte.

IRON AND STEEL EXPORTS Will Aggregate $177,000,000 For Fiscal Year. Washington, May 27.—Iron and steel exports from the United States in the fiscal year which ends with next month will aggregate approximately $177,000,000 in value, against $57,000, 060 a decade earlier, and $16,000,000 two decades earlier, according to fig ures issued by the bureau of statistics of the department of commerce and labor. The value of iron and steel manufactures exported in the 10 months ending with April, 1907, was about $150,000,000. This rapid growth has brought iron and steel manufactures far in the lead of any other group of manufactures in the export trade of the United States.
