The corn looks fine but the oats is greatly rusted and don’t promise a very large crop. Mrs. Clifford Close, of Altoona, visited among friends in this community the past two weeks. There was no wheat cut on the 4th this year and there will likely be none cut before the 15th or 20th. Hay making is now on in fine style, the farmers paying for belp from $1.25 to $1.50 and then are unable to secure the help that they need. The crop is good.

H. Schlegel. Allison Bros have improved the water course to their flouring mill, made several changes in the machinery and gained more power. They are now running on full time and doing a large business. W. H. Myers, proprietor of the Spring Mills meat market, has just purchased a new and handsome delivery wagon. He has also fitted up a slaughter house a short distance from the market and placed in it quite a number of modern improvements, Last week J. H. Rishel moved his family and stock of goods from Farmers Mills to his new building just erected here. Mr. Rishel has a beautiful store room fitted up with quite a number of modern improve: ments, well lighted from side and front and everything conveniently arranged. Lumberman C. J. Finkle, of our town, brother to Adam Finkle, also a lumberman, says that the lumber business is decidedly active, particularly for staves and lath and the demands for lumber were never so press- ing as at the present time. He is operating his mills to their utmost capacity to keep even with his orders. J. B. Fisher's Sons, at Penn Hall, have re. cently introduced into their store building quite a number of modern improvements and conveniences, By the way, this is the only firm in this part of the valley using the acetylene light. The store room can be illuminated almost equal to day, and their customers take advantage of it too. The Fourth of July was celebrated here almost as usual, almost Sunday like. Dur- ing the day the children amused themselves with fire crackers and caps to a limited ex- tent. In the evening a few fireworks were displayed. All the places of business, ex. cepting the mill, were open the entire day and evening, All the stores and many pri. vate residences were decorated with flags and the national colors. Early in the spring T. B. Jemison of our town, by some mishap, bruised the palm of his right hand but considered it of no conse. quence. An excrescence, however, was form- ed which became very painful and grew so rapidly that in a short time he was unable to close bis hand. Dr. Braucht applied sev- eral remedies but of no benefit, and conclud- ed that an operation was necessary which was performed last week. And it is thought he will be able to use his hand in a week or two. It is always a pleasure to notice the pros perity of any farmer no matter where lo- cated. Emanuel Shook of our town is cer- tainly one of the successful and fortunate farmers of Pennsvalley. The farm is located a mile or two northeast of the village, and in a high state of cultivation. His fruit orchard contains several hundred each of peach, ap- ple, pear and plum trees, besides he has fif- teen acres in paragon chestnuts all giving promise of a large yield. He has also a large bed of strawberries which yielded him over 5000 quarts this season. The entire farm shows great care and attention and presents a very tidy and attractive appearance, not even a twig, hardly a stray leaf is to be seen in the orchard which simply proves that the farm is in the hands of a skillful farmer, Early in the spring every tree showed the presence of the San Jose scale, Lut all were finally destroyed by repeated spraying and care. The wheat, corn, oats and potatoes look very promising. DEPOSITIONS READ Haywood Jury Hears Story of Bradley Explosion In Frisco. Boise, Idaho, July 9.—Part of the San Francisco depositions dealing with the Bradley explosion were read to the jury that is trying William D. Hay- wood for his life on the charge that he murdered Frank Steunenberg. The state counted it a victory that Bradley had receded from his first and positive statement that it was a gas explosion and was prepared to believe that a bomb might have been used. Bradley's first statement was made be- fore he knew of Harry Orchard’s con- fession or any of the evidence placing Orchard in the vicinity of the house. The defense, on the other hand, is satisfied that the depositions show that it would have been impossible for Orchard to reach the vestibule and place the bomb in the manner and time described by him; that the evidence shows that a gas leak was the cause of an explosion, and that Orchard’s testimony as to his movements in the rear of the building when he says he poisoned the milk is shown by physi cal conditions to be unlikely. DEFAULTING TELLER ARRESTED Man Who Stole $86,000 Betrayed By a Woman. New York, July 6.—Chester B. Run- yan, the defaulting teller of the Wind- gor Trust company, was arrested in New York, and $54,410 of the money stolen from the bank was recovered. Runyan was found in the apartments of Mrs. Laura M. Carter, of 617 West 144th street, where he had been since he walked out of the bank last week with all the money in the teller’s vault packed in his suit case. Mrs. Carter reported at the 185th street police station that Runyan was in her flat. Five detectives at ofce ac- companied Mrs. Carter to the house. She furnished a key to the apartment, and two of the detectives entered the room, while the others remained out- side. When questioned about the where- abouts of the balance of the money missing from the bank — the sum lost was said to be more than $96, 000—he stated that he had been specu- lating and had lost heavily, and inti- mated that Mrs. Carter might know something about any money that was missing. Mrs. Carter indignantly de- nied that she had any of the money and angrily told Runyan that she had betrayed him to the police because he lied to her and had not given her money as he had promised. Runyan stated that he had given Mrs. Carter $15,000, but this she de- nied. Helsaid he gave her $5000 on Monday and $10,000 Friday. TWO BATHERS DROWNED Rescuer Perished Trying to Struggling Companion. Harrisburg, Pa., July 6.—John Wolf, aged 22 years, assistant yardmaster for the Philadelphia & Reading rail road at Harrisburg, and A. R. Eltring- ham, aged 18 years, stenographer at the Philadelphia & Reading station here, were drowned in the Conodo- guinet creek near West Fairview. Eltringham was bathing and was seized with cramps. Wolf went to his assistance and was pulled under the surface by his struggling companion. Their sisters were on the bank, but could do nothing to save them. Their bodies were recovered soon after the accident. Seized With Cramps and Drowned. Lancaster, Pa., July 5.—~James Dor sey, aged 22 years, while bathing in the Conestoga near this city, was seized with cramps and drowned. TO HELP PRISONERS Jersey Head Keeper Will Let Them Make Complaints. Trenton, N. J., July 9.—Head Keeper Osborne, of the state prison, has in- troduced a new idea in that institu. tion. Every Saturday he will give au- dience to prisoners who have com- plaints to make to him or favors to ask. Convicts must make application for this interview on Friday of each week. Mr. Osborne believes that by show- ing a personal interest in the affairs of the convicts he can soften their dis- positions and make better men of them. Through his efforts the striped suits have been abolished, there is no more shaving of scalps and the lock- step has been given up. There are 30 less prisoners in the penitentiary than were there a year ago because of the adoption of the parole idea. CASUALTIES ON FOURTH OF JULY 2190 Dead and Injured Follow Celebra- tion of Independence Day. Chicago, July 6.—The Tribune says 37 men, women and children are dead and 2153 are maimed, lacerated or burned as a result of Thursday's ex- cess of patriotism in the United States. The number of dead does not include five drowned during the day. The roster of the dead is four more than last year's mortailty. A year ago 33 persons were dead on the morning after the Fourth, not including five drowned. Unfortunately the death roll will in- crease day by day, and even the late days of August will witness additions to it. Tetanus, that grim aftermath of gunpowder wounds, claims its victims by scores, and even by hundreds, for weeks after the Fourth. Rhea Lays $1500 Egg. New York, July 9.—The rhea in the Bronx Zoo has laid an egg worth $1500. It is the first rhea egg ever produced in America and if it hatches a world's record will be smashed. A rhea was never hatched in captivity. As soon as the egg arrived it was put in an incubator and a man set to guard it. It ought to be a chick in five weeks. A rhea egg was once laid in London, but it didn’t hatch. Candles to Stop Suicides By Gas. Bridgeport, Conn., July 6—Hereafter when a man wants to commit suicide at the Union hotel here he will have to furnish his own gas. The hotel was the “Suicide Club's” headquarters.

Va., July 8. — Two men were killed and two others re- ceived probably fatal injuries when a sand car failed to make a switch and was overturned, crushing the four oc. cupants.
