———————————— Spring Mille | Our farmers are very busy cutting wheat. The crop is a large one. Berries and cherries have been very plen- tiful in this neighborhood. Mr. and Mrs. C. P. Long, after an absence of a week visiting friends, returned bome on Tuesday last. Wm. Rossnan, operator at Mifflinburg for the Pennsylvania railroad, is home ou a few days vacation. We had several very heavy showers last week, which saved the potato crop. The corn, too, was suffering for want of rain. Motorcycles are becoming numerous. Quite a number passed through our town of late. Automobiles are about as common as a horse and buggy. Miss Anpa M. Cummings, after a week or ten days visit at Sunbury, returned home on Saturday last sccompanied by ber aunt, Mrs. W. T. Steely, of that place. John Rishel has a buge pile of gravel in frout of his porch, preparatory to putting down a concrete pavement from his store to above his residence. A great improvement. It will soon be time to make arrangements for the usual union Sunday school picnic. Of course some of the very pious members, a few of the ‘shining lights. wiil oppose it ns | they did last year. A union picnic to the | narrow minded is an abomination. They arein favor of a picnic but only of “our” | donomination, of “our” church, no mutter | how small in numbers, it would be orthodox i at any rate. But a union picnicis not to be | thought of, that would be perdition itself. | John Dauberman, the active and evergetic | mest merchant of Centre Hall, makes regu- | lar trips here on Tuesday and Saturday of | each week and, at the solicitation of nnmer. ous customers is contemplating making a trip | also on Thursday. Mr. Dauberman handles | only the best and fattest cattle in the market is an experienced butcher and thoroughly | reliable. His wagon meat box is free from | all odor, is always bright and clean as a new | pin, and the cuts of choice ments look most | inviting. He does quite a large business | bere, at Penn Hall and also in the surround- | ing neighborhood. | State College lems. Haying and harvesting is over. The farm - | ers are hauling in the wheat, | Prof. Linviile is the happy father over the arrival of a bouncing big boy. | Prof. Churchiil is now away on his vaca | tion. He will be absent for at least a month. | Our town can truthfully say that at least | fifty new houses will be built bere this sum- | mer. | The cool wave in the beginning of the ' week made one feel as if winter was coming | our way. E. L. Grabam avd wife returned home | after a weeks camping in the narrows back | of Millheim. i i Charles Daley, of Romola, came to the Col- | lege a few days ago and has secured a job of carpentering. The new bank building i¢ progressing rapidly. It will be an up to date structure when completed. The college boys were up against the wall when the Bellefonte team played ball with them last Friday. The score was 17 to 5 in favor of Bellefonte, A large barn owned by Ciyde Smeltzer was struck by lightning, burning it to the ground. His son was also shocked and a colt and three calves, harness, wagons and other farm implements were destroyed. The three Sunday schools of this place united and had a picnic at Hunters park last Thursday. Everything went off nicely till the heavy rain storm came up at noon and made a great many return home on the early train. J. W. Beck bas had two promotions since he came to State College. He was first employed by E. L. Graham & Co. in a gen- eral store and after serving in that capacity very succesfully for a period of three months and a half has accepted a position in the chemistry department of the Pennsylvania State College as manager of the complete line of stock. Three Men Sentenced For Life and Ten Years Longer. Richmond, Ky., July 20.—Imprison- ment for life and ten years additional servitude was the sentence passed on Derry Simpson, Elisha Stavin and George Stanley by United States Dis- trict Judge Cochran.

Then she lost her reason. $380,494,598 In Savings Banks. Washington, July 20.—An aggregate Sharply Retorts to “Jelly Fish” Taunt That What Might Appear Like Jelly Will Be Found to Be as Unyielding as Steel. Washington, July 20.—No one who talked with President Taft had any doubt left in his mind as to the presi- dent’s intention to secure a tar. ' bill that will be closely along the lines of his policy outlined in his statement of last Friday. “Unless a bill is agreed to in confer- ence that is in harmony with the downward revision policy there will be no bill this session. If congress wants to put off revision for two years it must take the responsibility.” This, in effect, is the declaration the presi- dent is reported tc have made to one of his callers. The president denies that he is mak- ! ing any threat of a veto. He does not believe a bill will be sent to him that will require a veto. The possibility of there being no bill lies with congress. From assurances he has received from members of the house Mr. Taft does | not believe that they will vote for a conference report that does not meet, very nearly, the specifications he has made for free raw material and down- ward revision where the rates are manifestly too high. It is now the president and the house against the senate. Taft's Retort on ‘Jelly Fish.” Reports have drifted to the White House that some of the statesmen at the capitol have characterized Mr. Taft as a jelly fish on tariff schedules. He took occasion in a jocular way, but with a world of meaning in his words, to let members of the house know that what might appear like jelly will be found to contain a sub- stance as unyielding as steel. He has not yielded an inch in his position for free hides, iron ore, coal, petroleum and the house rates on lumber. He is convinced that he will be supported in all these by the house, and unless the conference committee reports them free of duty or with but a slight duty upon them, the house will not agree to the report and will not yleld, even if the bill should fail. The president makes it clear in all his conferences with representatives and senators that there is no lack of harmony between him and the Repub- lican conferees. The rock which he and these conferees have encountered is the element in the senate that threatens to stand out against free raw materials and vote against the bill if the duty is taken off hides, iron ore, coal and oil. Condemned Man Saws Bars and Es- oapes Second Time. Wilkes-Barre, Pa., July 20.—Martin Leskowski, a sentenced murderer, es- caped from the Carbon county jail at Mauch Chunk by sawing the prison bars. It is thought he had help from the outside and is being concealed by friends in that vicinity. He was convicted about two years ago of the murder of his boarding house mistress and sentenced to be hung. While awaiting execution he escaped from prison and was not heard of again until about three months ago, when he was captured in Montana, where he had married and lived a model life for two years. BY beating his wife he angered his moth- er-in-law, whe informed the Montana authorities of his criminal record, and he was brought back to Pennsylvania. State troopers are now working on the case, but so far have been unable to find any trace of him. It is thought he is hiding in the mountains in the vicinity of Lansford or Mauch Chunk. Alleged Firebug Arrested. Lancaster, Pa., July 20.—Peter Her- mann, alias Dutch Pete, who was em- ployed as a hostler at the stable for many years, has been arrested on the charge of setting fire to the stable of George Diller, at Blue Ball, on April 7 last. The fire entailed a loss of $24,000. Forty-three head of horses perished in the flames. Boy Ate 50 Quinine Pills; Is Dead. Newton, N. J., July 20.—Fifty qui- nine pills swallowed by John, the four- year-old son of Cecil Drake, caused the child's death in a few minutes.

Rum Seiler Must Pay For Man's Death A jury awarded Eddie Wisinski $2000 against Frank Zomajtek, owner of a saloon in Chicago. On Nov. 4, 1908, the child's father wagered that he could drink twelve glasses of whis. ky. The saloon Keeper acquiesced, but at the pinth glass Wisinski fell dead. Dry Weather Kills Boll Weevils. Professor W. D. Hunter, the govern ment boll weevil expert at Dannas, Tex., has made public a repori say ing the present status of the weevil is not so bad as at the same time last year. Dry weather is destroying 50 per cent of the weevils. Don Carlos, Who Claimed to Be King Under the Law of Succession, Led the Four-Year War, Which Ended In 1876, When He and His Defend- ers Fled to France. Don Carlos of Bourbon, the pre- tender to the Spanish throne, died at Varese, in Lombardy, Italy. He had been ill a long time, suffering from apoplexy, with the accompanying par alysis. Don Carlos, duke of Madrid, who claimed under the special law of suc- succession established by Philip V,, to be the legitimate king of Spain by the title of Charles VIL, was born at Laybach, Austria, March 30, 1848. His father, Don Juan, was the brother of Don Carlos, Charles VI, known as the Count De Montemolin, in support of whose claims the Carlist risings of 1848, 1855 and 1860 were organized. As Charles VI. died in 1861 without children, his rights devolved upon his brother, Don Juan, who had married the Archduchess Maria Teresa of Aus- tria. Their son, Don Carlos, married on February 4, 1867, Margaret de Bourbon. In October, 1868, Don Juan abdicated in favor of his son, whose standard was raised in the north of Spain in 1872 by some of his partisans. Don Carlos himself, after addressing a proclamation to the inhabitants of Catalonia, Aragon and Valentia, call- ing upon them to take up arms in his cause, made his entry into Spain July 15. 1873, announcing that he came for the purpose of saving the country. Then followed the “four years’ war,” which ended in January, 1876, when Tolosa, the last stronghold of the Carl. ists, fell and its defenders sought refuge in French territory. In the meantime the republic came to an end, and the eldest son of ex-Queen Isa- bella returned to Spain as Alfonso XI. Alfonso XII. died in 1885, and the fight for the succession now raged be tween Maria Christina of Austria, the widow of the late king, and Don Car los. The posthumous birth of the present king in 1886, however, kindled in the nation a feeling of loyalty which has continued to exist up to the pres ent time. Moving Picture Fiend Kills Girl. Acting out a scene in a moving ple ture show which showed western “hold-ups,” ten-year-old Joseph Kane shot and killed Frances Lord, a four- vear-old girl, living in West Burling: ton, N. J. Kane obtained an old musket loaded with buckshot from his father’s home, and paraded the streets, in company with another boy in the neighborhood, Thomas Ocas, who is also ten years old. The boys went about ordering all the children they met to throw up their hands. Coming to the home of Thomas Lord, the father of the little girl, they found the child playing in the street. “Hold up your hands or I'll shoot you dead!” demanded the Kane boy. The little girl did not realize the import of the command and did not comply. Kane then raised the heavy weapon and shot her through the head at close range, nearly blowing the top of her head off. She died in a half hour. Uncle Sam Has Farms For Sale With the opening of the mail by James W. Witten, government super: intendent of land opening in Coeur d’Aline, Idaho, the first step has been taken in the throwing open to white gettlement of more than 700,000 acres of agricultural and grazing lands in the northwest. The government offers to settlers three Indian reservations—that of the Coeur d'Alene Indians in northern Idaho, that of the Spokanes in Wash- ington and that of the Flatheads in Montana, Registration began Thursday and will continue until Aug. 5. All who desire to register for these lands must go in person to the registration points at Kalispell or Missoula, Mont. to register for Coeur d'Alene lands and to Spokane to register for Spo kane lands. Applications by mail will be received only at Coeur d’'Ademe, where Judge Witten will conduct the lottery for the choice of lands begin ning on the morning of Aug. 9. Appld cations, which may be sworn to be- fore a notary public, must be sent to Judge Witten by ordinary mall, not by registered mall, and the envelopes must bear no distinguishing marks, such as return cards or addresses of senders. Soldiers and sailors of the Civil War, Spanish war and Philippine in- surrection or their widows or ehil- dren may register through agents. This means that the veterans or thelr heirs do not have to come to the northwest to register. About 8750 farms will be opened for settlement. For several months the land office has been receiving 800 to 1000 letters a day from gettlers inquiring as to the eonditions governing the lottery. Only $000 or 4000 people can hope to receive the prizes. Six Ki¥ed as Building Fails. In one of the busiest business sec- tions of Philadelphia and at a time when thousands of pedestrians were passing to and fro along bound- ing thoroughfares, the five-story brick building at the corner of Eleventh and Market streets, which was re- constructed for the United Im- provement eompany, eollapsed with a terrific roar, burying or pinning be- neath the ruins thirty4wo people, six of whom are dead, qpe injured and twenty-three more or less seriously injured. The two lower flagrs had been torn out and the three upper floors were shored up by heavy timber. Steel girders were bracing the shoring. It I is supposed that by moving one of tng girders the entire structure was loos- g at the end of the round. The law does not permit a decision, | but Wolgast apparently had Nelson Lemont thoroughly whipped at the end of the tenth round. Soap on “Mad” Dog's Mouth. Some mischievous boys in East pedestrians. In a scramble places of safety from the supposedly rabid dog two children were injured, being trampled upon. Roosevelt Gets a Big Hippo.

The completed program for Methodist Day, July 20th, presents one of the most attiactive lines of epeakers that the com- mittee hae been able to secure for years past. One of the noticeable features in the past years has been the presence of young men of the charch who have been brought on for this popular annaal gathering. This year two young men are engaged and the third is decidedly ‘‘youngerly,”’ sprightly and bouyant to a charming degree. Dr. Don 8. Colt, of Brooklyn, N. Y,, who made a name here years ago, and sought for for more than six years, comes for the morning. That irrepressible and vivacions orator, Secretary Robert Forbes, D. D., of Phila delphia, will make the afterncon address. For the Jopalat evening hour the dis- tingnished and gifted president of the New York preachers’ meeting, Dr. Allan Mao: Rossie, has agreed to come. The musical feature bas a departure. Instead of a combined chorus, Hollidaye- burg choir will sing as the morning hour ; Tyrone afternoon, and Juniata and Simp- son, under Prof. Williams, at night.
