Truok farmers throughout the county will please take notice. —— What is known as the hack farm belonging to the Hunter estate in Baoffalo Ran valley, was not sold at public sale on Tuesday, as the highest bid offered was only $28 50 per acre. The heirs refusing to accept this the sale was continued. Postmaster John G. MecCamant, of Tyrone, entertained about two dozen of bis friends at the Country club over Son- day at what has become well known as their annual apple blossom party.

We know whereo! we write for it is within our knowledge that this very machine has fre- quently oleaned up $500 in a three days’ engagement. ~—While playing around the lawn last Saturday George Klump, the little son of Dr. and Mrs. George Klump, formerly of this place but now of Williamsport, fell on a piokes fence and tore a gash in his hip which required twenty-one stitches to close. The injary is an extremely painful one hut at last accounts the little fellow was get- ting along all right, with no symptoms of any dangerous complications setting in. ~The continued rain has resulted in the flooding of the ore mines of the Cartin Iron company with water to a depth of ten feet or more, 80 that all work there has of neoessity been suspended. This condition of affairs is causing the managers of the company some concern, ae heir stock on hand will not run them over three weeks or a month and if the wet jweathér continues much longer they will not be able to work their ore mines for some time to come. OH, SucE WEATHER !—Japiter Pluvios has undocbtedly been working over time the past week and unless he has invested in an automatic rain making machine we are afraid he will exhaust his sapply and not have enough on band to keep away the drought during summer. Auod just as if Jupiter was not able to hoe his own row Oid Boreas stepped to the front for a few minutes last Saturday and gave us a good sized bail storm into the bargain. In fact, #0 continnons and hard has been the rain the past week that it was not sale for a man to go to his next door neighbors with- out an umbrella or a rain coat. Bellelonte was lucky last Friday and Sat- arday, for while we bad an abundance of rain the hail that fell here did little damage. Bat through the lower part of Bald Eagle valley the storm was quite severe while out at Snow Shoe hail fell in snch au abundance as to cover the ground and do considerable damage. In fact, a resilent of that town said that the bail was 80 deep it had to be shoveled off the pave- ments like snow in winter time, but this was likely an exaggeration. Every day this week it has rained but it was on Tuesday afternoon whes the down- poor reached ite maximom, aud all that evening and Tuesday night it poured down in torrents. While in Bellefonte the water was not as high as it was two months ago, yet in other parts of the county it was high- er. Penns creek,at Spring Mills was the highest it has been in years. [In fact it was 80 high that at one o'clock Tuesday night the water surrounded the houses of several families at the lower end of that town and the inmates were rescued and taken in by neighbors living on higher ground. The water surrounded the Spring Mills hotel and the stock bad to be removed from the stable and the pigs carried out of their pens to keep from drowning. The foot bridge from the station to the postoffice was carried away and at one time it was feared that the iron bridge would go out but fortunately it did not. The water was 80 high, however, that it covered the tracks of the Lewisburg and Tyrone railroad quite a distance between Spring Mills and Co- burn, but not deep enough to interfere with railroad traffic. Down Nittany valley the water was so high that early Wednesday morning be. tween two and three hundred feet of the Central Railroad of Pennsylvania was washed out between Hecla park and Dunkles. On down the valley the water was also very high but no further damage is reported. The Bald Eagle was also high evongh to overflow its banks in a number of places, bat no special damage was done. The continued rain and vet weather is hard on the farmers, who are waiting and praying for favorable weather in which to get their corn in the ground. —.e— HicH ScHoon COMMENCEMENT. —The annual commencement of the Bellefonte High school will he held next week, be: ginning with the baccalaureate sermon in the Presbyterian church on Sunday even- ing hy Rev.

At the usual morning hour Rev. Stein preached a very able sermon in which he idealized the work of the League in connection with the church. The regular anniversary services were held in the evening when the pro- gram of music and addresses was quite lengthy. A local weather prophet says we are to have only seven more days of rain this month—-a very consoling prognostication. ——The Beech Creek Coal and Coke company have resamed operations as all their mines at Peale and Grass Flat on the basis of forty-five hours work a week. ~The wedding of Miss Myra Freeman, daughter cf Mr. and Mrs. R.

A — A ——— ——The thirty-ninth sonual convention of the Centre county Sabbath school asso” ciation was held in the Methodist church at State College on Tuesday and Wednes- day of this week. Owing to the very in- clement weather the attendance was not as large as it otherwise might have been but the sessions were quite interesting despite this faot. —————— lp er rmeemm— HAZEL—SCHAKFFER REUNION. — The sixth annual reunion of the Hazel-Schael- fer families will this year be held at Grange park, Centre Hall, on Thursday,Junej11th, The speakers will be Judge Ellis L. Orvis, Col. J. L. Spangler, Hon. Fred Kurtz, and Rev. Beaver, of Centre Hall. All members of these prominent families are urged to make arrangements so}{they can attend. ce AY ——It has been a number of years since the general conditions for a bumper wheat, bay and fruit crop were as favorable as they are this year. All over Centre county the set of grain and grass is unosuvally heavy and even, while the weather has been exceptionally propitions for its growth. All kinds of fruit trees are ladened with young fruit and it is bardly likely there will be avy frost or freezing weather to injure the crop, so that every promise is for a bountiful harvest. -oe A New Ixpusrry.—H. 8. Moore, of this place, has completed arrangements for the starting of a structural steel plant in the old chain works buildings between Bellefonte and Mileshurg. While the plant will be started on asmall scale it will be equipped to turn out all kinds of steel structural work for buildings, bridges tipples, ete. It is to be hoped the pro- moter may be successful far beyond his expectations and that his new industry may grow rapidly into one of large pro- portions. Men are already at work putting the buildings in shape for the installation of the necessary machinery. a—————— —Three weddings in which Bellefont- ers will be interested are those of Miss Caroline Aswood Orvis so Wilford Cameron Stoddard, which will take place at the home of Judge and Mrs. Ellis L.

Naginey was having a nice time taking a spin in bis automobile and bad jose re- turned to the garage when he was called on the telephone and told he was wanted at once at the Elk rooms. Of course he re- sponded very promptly and when be ar- rived there was escorted out on the large veranda where he was presented with a bandsome jeweled badge, as a mark of es- teem to his office of past exalted ruler. W. Harrigon Walkar E«q., made the presenta. tion speech and did it in a way to win the hearty applause of all present. Mr. Nagi- ney was taken very much by surprise, bus nevertheless managed to express his appre- ciation in a fisting manner, after whiob the house rules were suspended for his special benefit. ——Col. John A. Daley, of Curtin town- ship, was in Bellefonte on Mouday, more or less interested in what was trenspiring io court; that is when be bas time to feel interested in anything outside of manifest. ing unfeigned pleasure in practically being cured of that cancer on the cheek which troubled him for the past year or two. The very fact that it is almost healed and that without leaving hardly any scar is enough to make him feel unusually grate. fal to the skill of Dr. Tibbens and son, of Beech Creek, notwithstanding the ethios of their profession which renders them ex- tremely modest over any publicity being given the matter. In a case like this, bow- ever, ethics and modesty ought to be cast to the winds and if their treatment results in as thorough and complete a oure as Col. Daley represents, it would be a lasting blessing to suffering humanity to advertise it ae widely as possible. PRUNER ORPHANAGE COMMITTEE OR- GANIZED.—O0 Tuesday Messrs. Frank M. Waring and E. C. Masser, of Tyrone, and Sigmund Joseph and Jared Harper, of Bellefonte, members of the Pruner orphan- age commitiee, met in the council chamber in this place, with Dominic Judge, presi- dent of the Bellefonte coancil, and Mr. Hoffman, president of the Tyrone council, who are also members of the committee by virtue of their position. The board was organized by the election of the following officers : President, Sigmund Joseph; vice or | president, Jared Harper; secretary, E. C. Musser, and treasurer, Frank M. Waring. Following the meeting the commistee in- spected the Pruner property on Pive street. The statement read by Mr. Waring, at the meeting, who has been the financial agent of the properties, shows that the amount of cash on baud May 7th, 1908, is $3968.97. This represents the net earnings of the properties since the death of Col. Pruner which ocourred May 14sb’04. In other words the average net income bas not been $1000 per year. This condition is rather in con- flict with the statements made from time to time that the net annual income would rou from $1800 to $2100. Of course dur- ing the past year there have been ‘‘ex- traordinary’’ expendisurers of $1003.20 but in every statement up to this time there bave been ‘‘extraordinary’’ expen- ditures and if ‘“‘extraordinary’ expendi- tures are to be made every year why not oall them ordinary and figure the net re- sults as they appear and not as we hope to have them. About the only sure saving that could be made would be the item of $672 49 taxes paid in the borough of Ty- rone. If that town were to exonerate the properties from taxation the net annual in- come would probably reach $1600 to $2000. Tyrone would probably do this if Belle- fonte were to lay am additional tax of a like amount for the benefit of the institu- tion. It would be unfair to ask Tyrone to do it unless Bellefonte stands ready to be as generous, especially since practically all of the trade benefit of such an institution muss come to us. President Judge of the Bellefonte coun- oil was particularly wise in naming Messrs. Bigmund Joseph and Jared Harper as mem- bers’ of the commission because both are practical, prudent business men who can be relied upon to do the very best they can under she circumstances and work to a careful and bonest conclusion as to whether the plan laid down in the will of Col. Praner is really feasible and whether there are enough funds available to carry them out. Sn—————— A ————— PERSONALITY IN MOVING PICTURES.— Personality is the potent force that always characterizes Lyman H. Howe's moving pictures and has made it the premier ex- hibition of its kind at home or abroad. Foresighs aod ability to grasp opportuni- ties, mean much. Bat it is only when these qualities are combined with a vital personality thas the best is attained in moving pictures as in everything else. His new program to he seen at Garman’s Mon- day nights, May 25th, is of the greatest variety imaginable. It combines amuse- ment, humor, and history in a way that only u specialist with only his wide and sure knowledge gained by experience can vouchsafe the public. The scenes of Life in quaint Holland; among the Zulus, and in the Freoch navy, broaden the men- tal vision uoconsciously. Then, too, the program includes superb portraits of familiar wild animals and others of wild birds not so familiar bus which will linger long with every epectator. Hunting the polar bear, quarrying stones in Franoe, riding 80 miles an hour in an automobile, and numerous other features interspersed with pictures of a lighter vein compose a program of unequalled merit and charm. DEAD MAN FousD IN PHILIPSBURG.— A big excitement was created in Philipe- burg on Monday afterncon when the fact was circulated that a dead man bad been found in Moshannon creek, near the Pres- queisle street bridge. The body was dis- covered by John Redding and another boy pamed Gennig, who immediately notified the authorities aud an investigation was made which resulted in the identification of the dead body as that of Edward Shoff, of Madera. Shoff was in Philipsburg on the evening of May first and attended a hearing be- fore justice of the peace B. J. LaPorte. So far as known that wae the lass seen of him until his dead and badly decomposed body was found on Monday. So far ascould be seen there were no marks of violence on his person to indicate that he had been murdered, so that it is not known whether he fell into the creek and drowned,jumped with suicidal intent or just how he died. He wore glasses at the hearing on May first and these were still in place when the body was fonnd. The man was forty years old snd unmarried. S— A —— «~The members of Gregg Post, No. 95, will attend St. John’s Episcopal church in a body on Sunday to hear the annual memorial sermon to be preached by Rev. John Hewitt. An interesting feature in connection therewith is the fact that twenty-seven years ago, when the Post was then in its younger days, they attended the same church and it was Rev. Hewits who preached to them. And on that oo- casion he was elected an honorary member of the patriotic organization, an allegiance he has held ever true and sacred. MoRrgrisoN.—Mrs. F. F.
