people of the county to bring in the ex-
hibits of all kinds,
This means stock of all kiuds, farm pro-
duce, fruit, vegetables, and the hundred
and oue things in the woman's department.
These are thiogs the people must contribute
towards the success of the fair. And with
the very liberal premiums offered for every
and all kinds of exhibits is is worth the
while of anyone to bring them in. And
now is the time to begin to prepare the
same. The better your exhibit the bigger
the preminm, remember that. If you have
nothing hut a big pumpkin, bring it in.
Every exhibit will heip to make ap the
fall display.

are concerned those in charge of that de:
partment are arranging to have a line en-
tirely uew and noigae. There will be hand
concerts every day aod plenty of amusiog
features on the Midway to entertain the

Dip THEY ELOPE?—Residents of Sproce
Creek valley are very mach worked ap
over the disappearance of two well kuown
man—because of the belief that the swo
went away together.
The man in the cae is Stewart Harpster,
who for several years pass bas been raral
wail carrier from Spruce Creek to Pennsyl-
vania Farnace, with his residence at the
latter place. The woman is Mrs. Frank
Thomas, of Baileyville. Mrs. Thomas lefs
Tuesday of last week ou the pretense of
going to Tyrone. Harpster left on Wedunes-
day without giving avy definite objective
point. Oo Friday Mrs. Harpster received
a letter from her husband in which he
stated that be did not expect to retarn
home, and inquiry developed the fact that
before leaving he bad sold what personal
property be could dispose of without sns-
picion as well as bis mail route to Earl
Poust. The postmark on the lester receiv-
ed by Mrs. Harpster was “Phg & N. Y.
Railway Postoffice,’”” which means any-
where on the main line between Pitseburg
snd New York.
The belief of the people who knew them
is that Harpater and Mrs. Thomas met by
pre-arrangement in Tyrone and lefs for the
west. Harpster, who lefs a wile and seven
children, is believed to have become infat-
vated with the woman on bis various trips
to ber home delivering mail and to bave
induced ber to run away with him. So far
neither the deserted husband on one side,
the deserted wile on the other nor the aa-
thorities bave made any effort to locate the
missing man and woman or apprehend
them if found together.
Court HousE CONTRACTS A WARDED.—
On Wednesday afternoon the county com-
missioners awarded the contract for heat.
ing and ventilating the court house to the
Bellefonte Steam Heat aud Gas company,
their bid being $7,900, which was $200
less than the next lowest bid.
Cotractors Gehret and Lambert are now
at work remodeling the old court house,
which means the patting on of a new ocop-
per rool, new ceiling in the court room and
making the other changes suggested hy{the
architects, Harris and Newman. When
the carpenters began work on the roof they
found it sank away down in the middle;
in fact, the supports had given away to that
extent that the rool was on the verge of
falling in. New and stronger supports will
be introduced so as to make it entirely
durable.
Contractor R. B. Taylor is still at work
on his job of quarrying oat the basement
and foundation for the new addition and
in about a week he will bave the one side
ofit in shape that the masons can begin
building the wall. Bat is will take another
month or six weeks to complete the job,

———About the only thing council did at
ite regular meeting Monday evening was
bear the routine reports of the various com-
mittees and approve the usual batoh of
bills. No larther action has yet been taken
on the new municipal electric light plant,
nor anything definite been done regarding
the repairing of the reservoir. In relation
to the ordinance granting a franchise for
that proposed trolley road through Belle-
fonte, it has not been acted upon because
council did not approve of the original route
proposed.and the ordinance is being chang.
ed #0 as to extend the service more liberally
through the town. The revised ordinance
will be presented at the next meeting of
oconnoil, when it will very likely be passed.

ing station and on taking it apart to see
what was wrong the entire inside was
found to be a wreck, necessitating the
getting of all new parts. The same were
ordered on September 28th and naturally
expeoted within a few days aod in the
meantime no concern was felt as with the
water wheel and pump at the Phoenix mill
station and the small sieam pump at the
old station all the water needed by the
town could be supplied. Bat on Sunday
morning the plant at the Phoenix mill sta-
tion stopped and upon examination it was
found that the small cog-wheel in the tur-
bine had been stripped ef every cog, which
of course meant sending away for a new
wheel. Thus the department was left with
only the small turbine wheel and the old
steam pump to supply the town for several
days and the result was short water rations.
