Royer went to Jersey Shore and brought up the Cen- tral Railroad of Penunsylvania’s big passen- ger engine, ‘‘Ne-ha-se-ne,”” which had been in the New York Central shops at that place undergoing repairs. > ~The Pennsylvania Telephone com- pany recently received one of the latest model motorcycles which is being used by Charles Donachy and Edward Brown in chasing down and repairing wire trouble. Itis a good machine with which to get over ground but it makes about as much noise as Robert Hunter's automobile. ——The big sewer on Lamb street caved in recently and had to be opened up and cleaned out from the electric light plant down to the creek.

A terra cotta pipe has also been laid 0 connect she gutter on Spring street along- side the property occupied by Emil Joseph to the sewer on High street. GP mem ——Everything that can be eaten will be accepted or sold as the exobange Friday and Saturday at Petrikin Hall, by the ladies in connection with the rummage sale for the benefis of the Bellefonte hospital. Everyone who bas not contributed to the sale this week will remember there is no more worthy object in Centre county and please give of their mite or of their aband- ance. > ——The attraction at the Scenic last night was a long piotare of the Founder's Week military parade in Philadelpbia in which company B and the Fifth regiment were plainly discernible. Is is because manager Brown always gets the latest and best pictures out and dees his best to cater to the wishes of the public that the Scenic is proving such a popular place of amuse- ment. cima ina ——Quite a number of old veterans are in Bellefonte attending the annual reunion of the Forty-ninth regiment, Penusyl- vania Volunteers, being held bere at this time. The reunion opened with a business meeting in the Gregg Post rooms yesterday afternoon and last night a big camp fire was held in the court house. Ex-Judge John G. Love made the address of wel- come to the old soldiers. The closing meet- ing will be beld this morning. i ——If you have not yes contributed avy- thing to the raminage sale it is not too late to do 80, as the sale will continue as long as the committee in charge can get avy- thing to sell. It is very likely the sale will wind up with an exchange, to be held in Petriken hall, where aprons and fancy articles, bread. pies and cake will be on sale, The Ladies Aoxiliary is in charge aod their efforts to raise money for the hospital should be encouraged by every- body. ~ With the Parsing of their saw mill pear Glenn Harris two weeks ago Clement and A. A. Dale have concluded that the lumber business as they found itis not the kind to make millionaires very fast,80 they sold ont to their partner, Irvin Bennett, who has associated with himeelf Flyte & Co., of Lock Haven. They will rebuild the mill and continue lumbering until the tract is cleared. By the terms of sale the Dale brothers get all the sawed lumber, about 450,000 feet. The enterprise was not a money-maker for them, though they claim they did not lose anything. oe —~Very little business was transacted at Monday night’s meeting of borough council for the reason that only six mem- hers were present. In view of the faot that council now has under oonsideration a proposition for building a borough electric light plant John J. Bower, representing Drake and Fisher, withdrew their bid for lighting the streets of Bellefonte. There being bat six members of council present action on the application of Drake and Fisher for a franchise to erect poles and string wires through the streets of Belle- fonte for electric light and power purposes was deferred until the next meeting. The chairman of the special committee inquir- ing into the matter of a borough electric light plant being absent no report on the work that bas been done was received and, of course, no action could be taken. ——On Tuesday afternoon a crowd of men and boys congregated on the pavement on north Water street, opposite the Potter— Hoy bardware store, watching several young men grapple suckers. Finally a boy riding a black horse happened along and boy-like got off the horse to watch the sport. A few minutes later Mr. Adam Shoyer, of Milesburg, drove up the street from the Central Railroad of Pennsylvania depot in a buggy and he stopped, got out and held bis horse and also became an in- terested onlooker. In the meantime the black horse kept backing and awitching around until his ramp struck the buggy when there was something doing. The animal began to kick and after kicking several spokes out of the buggy wheel and breaking a shaft he lurched against the owner who was standing alongside his own horse and knocked him down. This frigh- tened the horse in the buggy, which gave a jump and started to ran, the buggy going over Mr. Shoyer’s neck and shoulder. By- stander’s grabbed the horse and helped the man to his feet and fortunately, he was not hart in she least, though he looked quite ruefully at his broken buggy. In the meantime the boy marched off down the street whistling and leading his horse, the most nnecncerned person in the whole crowd. ———— ——Paying a debt of $41,000.00 in three years is a matter of which any board of managers might be proud. Your present County Commissioners have done that and wore because the running expenses of the coanty are continually on the inorease. Possibly you baven’s thought that the new State road law might become quite burden- some to a county some dav. It constitates one of our mew and inoreasing expenses. Each county has to pay one-eighth of the cost of new road construction and when we tell you thas Centre county bad to pay $6000.00 last year, and the bills are not in for this year’s work, you will appreciate that the paying off of old debte with the new bills increasing eacl: year is no small matter. We think you will agree with ns, therefore, that Messrs. DUNLAP and WEAV- ER are to be congratulated on the record they have made and have surely earned the reward of another term. i A Big CROP.—One of the most bounti- ful crops raisel in Centre county this year was that on the Crider farm be- tween Howard and Blanchard in Bald Ea- gle valley, and which is occupied by Sam- uel Kline. His crops included 900 bushels of wheat, 4,000 bushels of corn, 850 bush. ele of oats, 118 hushele of clover seed, 52 hushels of barley, 62 bushels of buck wheat, 140 bushels of potatoes and 362 loads of bay. Where is there another farmer in the county who can come anyways vear equal: ling the above. ? ri lpm ~The Coleville Water company, of which Col. H. 8. Taylor is president, is building a retaining dam in the mountain above Coleville for the purpose of securing a body of water sufficient to last them dur- ing the driest kind of weather. The inten- tion for the present is to pipe the water to the big iron tank at the steam heating works and use it for boiler purposes. Eventually a water system may be install ed in Coleville and the residents of that little town sapplied with water. ——— ~The old Bronoel homestead in Miles- burg is on the market for sale as soon as a suitable purchaser can be found.

Two gladiators in the ring Sat ready for the “mull,” One was that “Big Ohio Boy,” And one, “Nebraska Bill Big Teddy backed the Cleveland lad, Alene, “Bill” seemed to be, “Joe” Cannon held the bottle tight, And Hearst was referee, “We'er betting, three toone, on Taft," We heard some bluffers roar, While ‘round the roped arena swayed Ten thousand men or more ; Taft vainly frowned upon the lad Inferiur in size, While Bryan viewed his pond'rous form With dagger, darting eyes. With vastly diffrence in their weight They stepped up to the score, “Bill” Bryan weighed two-hundred pounds And Taft, one-hundred more ; The time was ecalled—they donned their mitts, Taft sprinted all about, Perhaps, to get the boy to lead, Then straight way knock him out. He double-«hntfied on the mat, He ducked, and dodged, and spar- red, Then sent his left to Bryan's jaw, And sent it mighty hard ; “Hurrah I" the vulgar voices rang, “For Bill” of Buckeye fame ;" While Bryan clinched his fists with hate, To prove that he was game, The betting—in the second round, On Taft, was ten-to-four, When Bryan dealt some jolting jars That sent him to the floor, He 'rose within the time allowed, His features pictured pain, When Bryan let his “right” fly out And knocked him down again. When he arose, the betting ceased, Bill Bryan caught his eye And deftly warded off a blow And let another fly ; Exchanging jabs, in rapid strides They clinched and broke away, Another punch above the belt And Taft went down to stay. A thousand! yes!! five thousand cheers For Bryan rent the air, The way the canes and “dicers" Made Taftites widely stare ; When Teddy saw Taft down and out From Bryan's vicious blows, ‘Joe’ Cannon held the bottle close To fainting Teddy's, nose. Hearst gave the sponge a willful hoist, The crowd swayed to and fro, And to those hovering over Taft Said : “let that Booby go :" Kern grabbed brave Bryan's brawny hand And gave a Hoosier" shout And said: “It's worth a Cross and Crown To knock such duffers out.” While Taft a mammoth monster lay Upon the padded mat, “Ted,” turning to his henchmen, said “Who ever dreamed of that?" Though Bryan be “Alfalfa” fed He's got the nerve and power, He's both a general in the ring And hero of the hour, Hughes, Longworth, Sherman, said to Taft “We've lost our fame and spoil,” Then all slid down the “Tariff Plank" Made sleek with “Standard 01," While Bryan blandiy brushed his brow And said, io high disdain, “1 wonder if “Big Booby Bill," Will tackle me again? Kern, Kerr and Johnson, Murphy, Mack, The Bryan Banner bore, Ard placed it on the “White-House," dome To cat four years, or more ; While Bryar, raised his sun-burned hand And firmly did proclaim, “To have the Inboring millions rule Shall be my highest aim."

Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Blue, of Kane, spent | [esular Spring Mills. ! J. B. Roberts and C. M. Confer, of Union county, reached here on Tuesday on a gun- ning expedition. Miss Bunkbart, of Harrisburg, was here on Monday last, as an examining board of the applicants for positions in the new tele- | by phone exchange just established in our town, Dr. Gentzel, veterinary surgeon of our town, is kept very busy just now. He says there is considerable sickness among horses and cows, but no particular disease is ap- parent, James N. Leitzell, of Portland Mills, form- erly of this place, has been here for several weeks repairing some of his property. Mr. Leitzell left on Thursday last on a short visit to Lock Haven but will return again this week, Mrs. George N. Wolf has been doing an excellent business since her opening day. Her selection of hats was so tasty, so beau- tifully trimmed and so artistic in style and shape that they were soon disposed of. Of course a duplication of orders was necessary. In fact since her return from the city she has duplicated some styles of hats three or four times. A day or two since I met in town George F. Weaver, the well know citizen of Brush valley and Democratic nominee for Register, who is going the rounds in short trips look- ing up old friends and making new ones. Mr. Weaver has been in ill health nearly the entire summer, of course precluding him from visiting many sections of the county and limiting his canvas to a very consider- able extent. He is now on the mend but his convalescence seems very slow. Mr, Weaver is, and has always been popular in these valleys—as an illustration : Three or four years ago the Democrats of his township in- sisted that he should accept the nomination for justice of the peace but he persistently de- clined doing so and requested his friends not to press or urge the matter. But notwith- standing his protest and opposition he was nominated and elected by a large vote. It only proves his popularity and the high es- teem in which he is beld by the people of his community, and the general impression is that in these valleys in the coming elee~ tion he will be considerably in advance of his party vote. That Mr. Weaver is thor- oughly qualified for the position of Register is unquestionable. He is a gentleman of intelligence, well educated, affable and pleasant, has always been an unflinching Democrat and racks high in character wherever known. Just such an official, with qualifications and abilities for a more im- portant office, yet just such a man we want, and to judge from the political outlook, will elect Register in November next. His friends are not idle, but active and almost ubiquitous, Iraving no stone unturned that might cover a vote to his advantage. The great mis- fortune of having but one arm disqualifies Mr. Weaver from many pursuits and oppor- tunities, and not being blessed with this worlds superabundance but instead has had a life of poverty, toil and care, and the revenue derived from the office to which he now aspires would be a great benefit and support. Besides the duties of the office can be discharged by one so unfortuuately crip- pled, just as readily and satisfactorily as if he possessed the natural complement of two arms. Mr. Weaver has been a successful school teacher for several years. By the way, a number of personal friends who have been traveling over the county ostensibly on business, but in reality to ascertain the polit- ical drift, general opinion, ete., quietly in formed me, aud they were Republicans and Democrats, that from ail the information they could obtain directly and indirectly they were inclined to think that the result of the coming election might show some startling changes—possibly a Dewmociatic cyclone in Centre county.
