Spring sills On Thursday and Saturday evenings dur- ing the last month, C. P. Loug has been hav. ing auction to remove some of bis surplus stock. - April fooling was quite limited here on the Ist inst. It must have heen forgotten by the boys, or possibly they have golten over the nonsense. Rev. J. Max Lantz has been returned to the Pennsvalley charge to the delight of his congregation. During the past year the rev. erend gentleman has made many friends and become quite popular. Our merchants report & fair business dur- ing the month of March; commercial agents stopping off here say that traffic on the road is entirely too conservative for their pocket books. When it costs six dollars to sell five they think it about time to take a halt. The next move will be to move to the garden for digging purposes. Some little garden has been made already for onions, to be in time for the owion snow. However, the weather has been a little off for much garden work. There is plenty of time yet. Quite a number of our people are caught with empty ice houses. They waited too long for the granite like crop. Among the delinquents was the hotel, but the landlord succeeded in purchasing a stock in Rebers. burg and had it hauled here and packed in his ice house. The little folks are making large calcula tions on Easter eggs. At most any time now a half dozen or more can be seen looking at the sugar eggs displayed in the store win. dows and telling each other hew many they expect, and then their eyes assume the di mensions of a silver dollar. Dr. Gentzel, veterinary surgeon of our town, reports considerable sickness among horses and cows and he is kept very busy. He says there is no particular ailment, only a tired condition with a slight fever which yields very readily to proper treatment. But the doctor remarked that only about half the animals receive the care and attention they should, hence the ‘played out” condi. tion. A Temple—Ladies of the Golden Eagle, auxiliary to the K. G. E., organized here a few weeks since, was instituted and the offi cers installed by the grand officers on Tues. day evening last. They had fifty-five char. ter members, which is certainly a very good commencement. A dozen or fifteen Sir Kuights witnessed the ceremony which proved highly interesting. The grand offi- cers from Bellefonte arrived here in ear- ringes late in the afternoon and were imwme- diately taken to the hotel. After a rest and partaking of a sumptuous supper especially prepared by landlord Wood they were es. + corted to the hall of the K. G E. to dis charge the duties which occasioned their journey here. At the close of the session quite an elaborate lunch was served. After assuring the members of the Temple that it bad been a great pleasure to participate in the proceedings of the evening and wishing them every success, about midnight the grand officers departed for Bellefonte. — Baby Pla-mate, an entirely new and origioa! idea in infans shoes, at Yeager's. m——— ee A» Pine Grove Mention.

Smith and wife, of Altoona, are spending a few days bere mixing business with pleasure, and are thinking of moving to State College. Mr. and Mrs. George Potter spent several days in Altoona last week and brought with them a bright little girl who intends making her home with the family. On Wednesday evening the wembers of the Methodist church tendered a reception to their new pastor, Rev. Edward F. Bierley and family, which proved a very pleasant occasion. Mr. and Mrs. Atbert Witmer are mourning the death of their baby girl, Mabel E., who died of whooping cough last Friday, aged 4 months and 17 days. Besides the parents, ten brothers and sisters survive. Juterment was made Monday at one o'clock in the Boalsburg cemetery. Last Thursday while J. E. Everbart step. ped inside the railroad station at Penna. Furnace, his team frightened and ran down the railroad track. Fortunately they were stopped at the edge of a bridge after running a mile. The horses were somowhat scrateh- ed up and were gotten off the rails just as the train swept around the curve, Our townsman, W. D. Port, was over at Manor Hill the past week attending the fun- eral of his father, Levi W. Port, the oldest man in that section. He was born in Hunt. ingdon nearly ninety years ago, and was well known hereabouts. He was the father of fourteen children, all living but one. He was a member of the Methodist church and was buried on the 3rd pst, in the M. E. cemetery at Manor Hill, —— “What would you do if I were to die?" asked a fond wile to her husband. “Well, I don’s know,”” he replied, ten- a well Me une .

Flames at Fort Worth, Texas, Destroy 300 Dwellings, Three Churches and Several Warehouses and Business Places — Twenty Locomotives and Many Box Cars Also Burned. To boys and a carelessly thrown cigarette stub is generally credited the fire which destroyed property in South Fort Worth, Texas, that was valued at $2,000,000, caused the death of J. J. Newton, a bank employe; the serious Injury of six persons, rendered over 1000 homeless and caused the temporary idleness of several hun- dred workmen employed in the manu- facturing plants and business houses burned. The burned area is under the guard of state troops to prevent looting, and the entire fire department is still en- gaged in extinguishing the burning embers, which, with the wind still high, spasmodically spring into flames. The fire originated in a barn near May and Tucker streets. Driven by a gale, the flames spread through build- ings made dry by a protracted drought snd within a few moments the con- flagration was beyond control. Spec- tacular in the extreme, the flames leap- ed from building to building, across broad avenues and at times for a block at a time. The rapidity of the fire's progress rendered impossible the removal of household effects. Even trinkets and jewelry had to be aban- doned. After eating its way through a residence quarter, reducing to ashes 300 pretentious dwellings, the Broad- way Presbyterian church, the Baptist church, the Swedish chapel and the Walker sanitarium, the flames, spread- inz to the south, attacked the manu- facturing plant of the Sawyer Elec: trical company. This building was quickly destroyed, as vere five large warehouses and several smaller busi- ness houses. The yards of the Texas & Pacific railroad were next in the path. The roundhouse, the repair shops, the coal chutes and many box cars were de- stroyed, and twenty locomotives were reduced to twisted masses of steel, Next to the railroad yards is an open space, and this checked the flames to the southward. Great Bridge Is Opened. Amid the cheering of thousands, the teoting of automobiles and the blow- ing of factory whistles, the new Queensborough bridge at New York was opened to the public by Mayor McClellan. Here are some figures, showing that in many respects the Queensborough bridge is the greatest of the four structures spanning the East river. Main dimensions: Total length of bridge, including approaches, 7424 feet; length of bridge proper, 3724 feet, 6 inches; clear height above mean high water, 135 feet; height of towers above bottom chord, 185 feet; approximate dead load, steel paving, etc., 120,000,000 pounds. Daily capacity, cars and promenade, 215,000 persons. Total cost, $20,000,000. Location: From East Fifty-ninth street, Manhattan, across East river and Blackwell's island, to Long island City. Bridge contains four trolley tracks, two elevated railroad tracks, two floors, a roadway fifty-three feet wire, and two footwalks, each sixteen feet wide. including approaches, Charged With $100,000 Shortage. An examination of the books of the office of the Baltimore, Md., city reg. ister shows a shortage of more than $100,000 in the funds of the office. Wil- liam F. Downs, stock clerk in the office named, is under arrest. It is be- lieved that most of the stortage, if not all of it, will be traced to Downs, though this may prove difficult. It is said that Downs, one of whose duties was to make the daily deposits of the city funds in the various banks, made out deposit slips for less than the amounts that should have been deposited, and afterward altered the figures in the bank books to make them correspond with the amounts that should have been deposited. Priest Is a Bankrupt. Rev, William McMahon. the pastor of St. Bridget's Catholic church at Cleveland, O., and the editor of the Catholic Universe, filed a voluntary petition in bankruptcy in the United States court. In the petition his total liabilities are stated to be $1,594,141.64, with assets aggregating $75,207.08, of which $71,300 is real estate. The se- cured claims amount to $946,925.73; unsecured claims, $371,207.91, and commercial paper, $185.918. Kidnappers Under Bail. Mrs. Helen Boyle, wife of James H. Boyle, kidnapper of Willle Whitla, was arraigned before Justice of the Peace Thomas McClain at Mercer, Pa., charged with kidnapping. She entered a plea of “not guilty,” and was held for the action of the grand jury in the sum of $50,000 bail Her husband waived a hearing at Sharon, Monday, and is held in the jail here on a similar bond. Virginia Shaken by Earthquake. Two separate and distinct shocks, presumably of earthquake, were felt at Winchester, Va., on Friday. Many residents were awakened and consid- erable alarm was felt.

It is understood in Baltimore, Md. that the Baltimore & Ohio railroad is figuring on buying an immense amount count being estimated as high as $10, 000,000. Tentative plans have been prepared which will call for 6000 to 10,000 steel freight cars of various types and many heavy locomotives. Shot In Back by Discharged Werkman John Daly, of Elizabeth, N. J., was shot and probably fatally wounded by Frank Cariola, a Sicilian. Daly is fore- man for contractors who are building up the Bronx sewer in New York, and had discharged the man for an infrac- tion of the rules. This was the cause of the shooting. Daly was standing with his back to Cariocla when shot. Farmer Victim of Pickpockets. Christian Lichty, a Paradise town- ship, Lancaster county, Pa. farmer, was relieved of his wallet, which he carried in an inside vest pocket, by a pickpocket. It contained $900 in cash and about $2300 in checks. The rob- bery c-curred in front of a hotel in Lancaster and was unnoticed by the farmer or those talking to him. Walked 1800 Miles In 89 Days. T. R. Deckrow, of the United States Signal Corps, arrived at Gulfport, Miss, having walked 1800 miles from Sault Ste Marie, Mich., in eighty-nine days. Deckrow started the walk with three companions, the stipulation be- ing that the distance be made in ninety days. The other three dropped out. Separate Votes to Be Taken on Hides, Lumber, Oil, Barley, Tea and Coffee Schedules—T7Twenty Republicans and Four Democrats Broke Away From Their Party. Washington, April 6.—Three o'clock p. m., April 9, was the time set by the house for a final vote on the Payne tariff bill. The long expected resolution from the committee on rules closing general debate, providing for certain committee amendments and a full and free opportunity to alter the lumber and hides schedules, was re- ported and adopted, with sixteen votes to spare, notwithstanding the deser- tion of twenty Republicans. Four of the sixteen votes came from the Louisiana delegation, who likewise broke away from their party. Previous to the adoption of the resolution thers was some severe criticism of it from the Democratic side. Aside from the interest which attached to this pro ceeding was the speech of Mr. Clark, of Floridas who denounced Bryan and Bryvanism, Populists and Populism, and who declared that he would sup- port the Payne bill if it contained what his constituents wanted—a duty on Sea Island cotton and protection for citrus fruits, pineapples, etc. His remarks led him into an exciting col loquy with Mr. Randell, of Texas, and other Democrats, but he declared that, having been instructed by the legisla: ture of his state and his constituents as to the stand he should take on the erticles mentioned, he would not vio late hig solemn obligation to them. His whole attitude was one of defi ance to the Democrats of the house. Separate votes are to be allowed on hides, lumber, oil (countervailing duty removed and 75 per cent ad valorem substituted), barley, barley malt, tea and coffee. Before the rule was reported there were numerous speeches on the bill, those occupying the floor being Messrs. Bartlett (Georgia), Calder head (Kansas), Burgess (Texas), Stanley (Kentucky), Hobson (Ala bama), Gillespie (Texas), Thistlewood (Nlinois), Saunders (Virginia), Reed: er (Kansas), Madden (Illinois). An interested spectator throughout almost the entire session was Mrs. Taft, who was accompanied by her two sons and Captain Archibald Butt, U. S. A., one of the president's aides.

One of the girls had robbed pedestrians at the point of a pistol and the gang in other ways had terrorized the neighborhood near where the girls lived. LILLEY CRITICALLY ILL Condition of Connecticut Governor ls Causing Much Uneasiness. Hartford, Conn., April 6.—The iil ness of Governor George L. Lilley from nervous exhaustion has assumed a serious aspect, and his condition is causing much uneasiness. The affec- tion of the nerves, which has been most pronounced in his stomach, ap parently attacked his heart and kid neys. It was stated, however, that while the governor was extremely ill these was no immediate danger of death. Baby Dies as Priest Christens It. Neighbors and passersby at Button- wood and ..inth streets, in Philadel phia, were startled by the of a weeping man running at top with a baby clasped tight in his but fast as the rather with four-months-old baby, too to save its life.

Lawyer Gets Fourteen Years. Robert J. Maloney, a lawyer, con- victed of defrauding clients of $300. 000 at New Orleans, was sentenced to fourteen years in the penitentiary. High Pressure Days. Men and women alike have to work in. ces«antly with bran and band to hold their own nowadays. Never were the demands of business, the wants of the family, the requirements of society, more numerous. The first effect of the praiseworthy effort to keep up with ali these things is commonly seen in a weakened or debilitated condition of the nervous system, which results in dyspepsia, defective nutrition of both body and brain, and in extreme cases in com- plete nervous prostration. Iv is clearly seen that what is needed is what will sus. tain the system, give vigor and tone to the nerves, and keep the digestive and as. similative functions healthy and active. From personal knowledge, we can recom- mend Hood’s Sarsaparilla for this purpose. It acts on all the vital organs, boilds wp the whole system, and fits men and women for these high pressaie days.
