tative of the WATCHMAN accompanied Messrs. A. C. Mingle, John I. Olewine and John 8. Walker on a trip to the plant of the Chemical Lime company, on_ghe Wit. mer farm up Buffalo run, and” there found a large force of men at work under the di- rection of Oliver Witmer building whas will undoubtedly be one of the best and most up-to-date lime-making plants in Cen- tre county. Located as it is on the side of a big bill the projectors had every opportunity to make the plans an ideal one and they took advantage of every natural facility offered. The foundation for the kilns and crusher is cut oat of solid rock and is built just car top high from the level of the railroad sid- ing. This will enable them to load their lime by a level haul. So far only cue kiln bas been completed, but it is a monster. From the foundation the base of the kilo, 24x24 feet, rises to a height of nineteen feet.

He was in a carriage driving the little bay team of the Palace livery and was on his way from Bishop street to High when, just in front of the Brockerhoff house, one of the horses began to kick then started to ran. They ran across the Diamond the one anima! kicking at every jump hut across at the northeast corner of the Diamond Mr. Curtin bad presence of mined encu.h to pull the team into the American Express company’s wagon. The one horse tried to jump in the wagon and failiug to doso threw hereell and broke the tongue of the carriage. Then she jumped up and started to kick. Curtin bad stuck to the vehicle up to this time but when he saw the horses heels flying above the carriage top, and every kick getting closer be jumped. By this time quite a crowd gathered hut it was only after the horse bad kicked itself free of the carriage, bridle aud a good bit of the harness that it was finally subdued by Curtin grabbing it by the nostrils and shat. ting off its wind. Nobody was hurt but the horse bad its mouth badly tora and its hind legs skinned and cut, while the car- riage was somewhat damaged in front. ¥ pencil and shoestring peddler, was walk- | Louisa Bush and not seeing Doak ran into | al cats and bruises, which were properly | the president appoint a committee of three | whose duty it would be to circulate the pe- titions for signers as well as solicit subscrip- | tious to help carry the legal action through to what is hoped will he a successfal termi- pation.

As it is now the toll rates for a round trip hetween Bellefoute and State College are forty-eight cents, or over ball | a+ much as a round trip fare ou the rail- ‘road. And the condition of the turnpikes in question 1s no better than many public roads tbiroogliout the county. And for suck roads will the people who are com: pelled to travel over them submit willing. ly to beivg held up for practically a balf | dollar every time they want to make the { trip. Aud when it is farther considered { that State College is now the third town in | size in the county and that every foot of | she way between it and the county seat is tiaveled over turnpikes, aod these about the only turopikes in the sounty, it can bardly be wondered that the people wish them vacated. Gen. James A. Beaver is president of both companies, which are controlled hy the Thompson heirs, and he is in favor of baving the turnpikes vacated. In fact itis not believed there will he a very strong opposition to the movement, as veither compauy bas paid a dividend in years. So that vow it is up to the people of Belle- fonte and of Spring, Benner and College townships to do what they can to help the movement along. When the petition is presented for your signature sign it and thas lend your influence, and if yon are asked to contribute to the fand for paying the expenses of the action, give cheerfully, even if it is but a dollar or only fifty cents. It is evident that the time has come when the people want these turnpikes vacated and the only way to have that done is to work for it. ——— ATTACKED BY YELLOW-JACKETS.—'‘In a horuet’s nest’’ is an old saw with which readers of the WATCHMAN are quite con versant but very few, we dare say,ever had such an actual experience. Bat our friend Ben Gentzel had an experience Saturday evening which came as pear being the real thing as possible without actoally heing in a hornet’s nest. It was about five o'clock when he took his horse ont in the barn yard in order to give him a good carrying aud cleaning off. He was working away very assiduously with no thought of ap- pending danger when, with a whir anda swoop a swarm of yellow-jackets settled on him, completeiy covering his left shoulder and left side of his face, stinging him antil the flesh looked like a piece of raw beel, the blood oozing out through the skin. Mr. Gentzel put up a valiant fight and mauaged to dislodge the insects after he bad succeeded in killing quite a number of them, but his injuries from the stings of the ‘‘jackets’’ were most painfal. But then it takes more than a swarm of yellow- jackets to down a man who won't stay longer than five weeks in bed with a brok- evening ready and willing to tackle a bull by the horns, if necessary. | On Sunday,however, he went away from home and by Monday moruiog his face and neck were terribly swollen and he became very sick; in fact, he bad all the symptoms of being poisoned and naturally he became very much alarmed.
