The Hallowe'eners behaved unusually well in the country, but the State College campus had the appearance of a county fair on Sunday morning. MeClellan Rossman’s Belgian stallion died Sunday afternoon after a few hours’ iliness. He wus a valuable animal and the loss is heavy on Mr. Rossman. The Frank Wrye public sale last Saturday was well attended, although bidding was not as spirited as at the spring sales, though everything sold at fair prices. Mr. and Mrs. W. E. Johnson spent Sunday over the mountain with Mrs. Johusou's mother, who expects. to close her home for the winter and visit with relatives. Last Sunday Rev. Bergstresser, of the Lutheran church, gave notice to his flock that he was about to accept a call from Al- toona to take effect about December 1st. Homer and Harry Oaks, J. H. Oaks and R. E. Johnson, of Stone valley, attended the State College horse show Satarday, and Mr. Johnson captured a blue ribben for his pair of blacks. Rev. Phillips, of the M.

Oo Monday afternoon while Waldo Gray was driving home from High school his horse took fright at a steam thresher at J. (, Struhles, just west of town, began kick- ing and the harness breaking he ran away. After running a mile be ran against the fence und stopped, with the buggy somewhat the worse for the mishap.

Roadmaster Andrew Corman has been busy all week; replanked the lower bridge over Peans creek, and also repaired the road bridges. Very like winter here on Saturday last, dark leaden clouds were hovering overhead all day, with high cold winds and occasional snow squalls, Our hunters are not particularly joyful over their success so far. Game must be scarce, or are remarkably shy and keep themselves well covered. Quite a number of commercial agents stop~ ped off here on Saturday last—all on the home road to vote. They all report business on the road from fair to middling. Magistrate M. B. Hering has been quite ill for the last ten days. Mrs. Hering, who has also been ill for some time, is convalescing, but the improvement is very slow. Up to Saturday last, that enterprising merchant of our town, C. P. Long, shipped from this station 9000 bushels of apples and has orders for several move car loads. Former Senator Heinle was in this neigh- borhood for a day or two last week. Both he and Geo. F. Weaver, Democratic nominee for Register, left on Friday for Bellefonte. Ou Saturday last Major Geo. Huss, the well known shoemaker of our town, reached the half century mark of continuous service at his trade—almost a lifetime. The Major is yet as sturdy as the vak, and says he can still make a shoe or boot that will outwear two pairs made by machinery. Having occasion to call into the millinery parlors of Mrs. Geo. N. Wolf a day or two since, she called my atiention toa superb line of fur bats she had just received. They are beautiful, but chiefly in the form of tur- ban and toque. Of course there are some much larger bats among them, about like a 26 inch umbrella. Some of these hats are very handsome and stylish. They are in mink, lynx, white fox and gray squirrel. Mrs. Wolf has made no mistake in her selec. tion. Hallowe'en—regarded by many of our an- cient dames as the spookiest night of the whole year, where flerce goblins sit on fence posts and smoke buge pipes, queer looking and ill shaped elves play marbles in the road, while fiery snd angered old witches ride through the air on greased broomsticks, —was celebrated here about as usual. Throwing corn at doors and windows was fun for the girls, after which they hastened to one of their homes to eat apples, nuts and candies, tell love scrapes by counting the seeds of the apples and then wind up with a 3 i | marvelous ghost story. The boys must have encountered a goblin or spook which scared chief, . H. E.

Revival services began in the Methodist | church here Wednosday evening. Hope the good work will be prosperous and that peo- ple professing the faith may become a unit | in the work of the salvation of souls. Our merchant, Edwiu Smull, was tendered | a surprise by the Hallowe'ener's Saturday | evening. No doubt the snow flurry of that | afternoon inspired the thought to furnish | Mr. Smull with a sled, for Sunday morning | dawned with a sled on his store porch. It | was loaded with boxes, sinh wood and posts, | indicative of the approach of winter. The merchant had his first sled ride that morn. | ing, taking the conveyance to his home, | from which in the future he expects to use | it as required. : i f —— While eating dinner on Monday Mr. W.

Baker cigar factory in an elevator, and her body was nearly severed in the middle, causing almost instant death. Mrs. Aument was a tobacco stripper, and had just started work for the cigar company, having induced the fore- man to give her a job by telling him that her husband was ill with typhoid fever, and that the family had no money. While taking tobacco from the fire! to the third floor, it being the first time that she ever operated an elevator, she became frightened and attempted to jump after the elevator passed the second floor.

Prince Henry In Airship. Prince Henry of Prussia spent sev- erai hours in the air as the guest of Count Zeppelin at Friedrichshafen, Germany, who made an ascension in his remodeled airship. Not only did the prince thoroughly enjoy his experi ence, but he sat at the steering wheel for many miles of the flight, guiding the movements of the craft and com- pelling it to execute all kinds of eom- plicated manoeuvers. Prince Henry's satisfaction at the great flight was unbounded, and he gave expression to it in a telegram which he sent to {ie emperor: “Under Zeppelin's guidance 1 felt just as safe as on my own flagship.” After manoeuvering above Lake Constance in full view of the city for some time, the airship made its way towards the Swiss frontier, disappear- ing in the direction of Tyrol. It re- turned to its moorings about sunset. Captain Mischke said that the prince was anxious to remain for a few more flights, but that he was uncertain whether his engagements would per- mit. The prince expressed himself as astonished to find that the lengthy body of the airship showed only the slightest vibration. He regarded the vertical steering gear as simply per- fect. Cashier Guilty of Embezzlement. William Montgomery, who was the cashier of the Allegheny (Pa.) Na- tional bank until the discovery of a shortage in its funds of over $1,000, 000 early last summer necessitated the i closing of the institution, was for the second time found guilty of embezzle- ment and abstraction of funds, his peculations in the two cases amount- ing to $612,000. The case involved the abstraction of $144,000 worth of the bank's bonds, and, as in the first case, Montgomery offered no testimony in defense. Every effort has heen made by the prosecution and the bank's directors to learn from Montgomery what be- came of the money abstracted or who besides himself received the money, but the cashier has steadfastly refused to involve others, and it is generally believed that it was to prevent the possibility of others being dragged into the case that no defense was of- fered in the two cases. Find Skeleton Near Washington's Tomb Through the finding of the skeleton { of a man on the historic Mount Ver non (Va.; estate, at one time the home of George Washington, the authorities of Fairfax country, Va., have to solve what appears to be a murder mystery. Gatekeeper Vickers, employed on the estate, discovered the skeleton, to- gether with the dead man's clothes, a gold watch, a bottle of whiskey and a calendar, in a patch of woods near the entrance to the grounds. Upon the cal- andar the name “Antonio” was writ. ten, and a bullet was discovered among the bones. The theory of the police is | that an Italian workman, employed two years ago in the construction of a road near the point where the skele- ton was found, was shot by one of his fellow workmen. Died Suddenly In Wilds of Mexico. A telegram has been received at Lancaster, Pa., telling of the death | of Dr. Samuel T. Davis on Oct. 23 in the mountain district of Mexico while on a gunning expedition with A. C. Kepler, of this city.
