Casa vs. Work RoaDp TAx.—At the
last session of the Legislature a bill was
passed providing for a cash road tax but
also giving residents of any township the
privilege of voting on the question of sub-
stituting therefore a work tax by secur-
ing an order of the court and submitting
the question to a vote of the taxpayers of
the township. To secure an order of the
court requires a petition signed by twen-
ty-five citizens of said township. Four
townships in Centre county will this
spring vote upon the question of substi-
tuting a work tax for a cash tax. They
are Benner, Patton, Halfmoon and How.
ard. Burnside also sent in a petition but
it was several days too late, as the law re.
quires that such petition must be filed
with the court not less than thirty days
prior to the election.
Under the new, or cash tax law, the
State will give to the township fifty cents
for every dollar assessed and paid by the
taxpayers for the improvement of the
public roads. Thus: If the road tax as-
sessed and paid in cash, in any one town-
ship, aggregates $1,000, the State will pay
over to the supervisor of said township
the sum of $500, which will mean just
that much more to be expended in road
building. Under the work tax law, the
system which has been generally in
vogue for years, which permits every
farmer and tax-payer to work out his
road tax, the State will not contribute
one cent to said township, hence the
township in which the road tax assessed
amounted to $1,000 would have only work
to that amount for the benefit of their
roads.
One of the arguments put forth by
farmers and others against the cash tax
system is that it gives the supervisor
supreme control and that he, if he saw
fit, could import foreign laborers into the
township and employ them in building
the roads instead of giving the taxpayers
the privilege of doing the work. But this
argument is rather far-fetched. The av-
erage supervisor is a tax-payer and a fair
man and he would naturally prefer giv-
ing the work to men from whom he re-
ceived the tax. So that if a farmer paid
twenty dollars road tax in cash he would
most likely be given work to that amount,
and probably more, and would be paid in
cash for what he does, ‘And in addition
the supervisor would have an extra ten
dollars received from the State to pay
him or somebody else. At least it would
be just that much more toward the build-
ing of good roads. and that is one of the
leading questions all over the country to-
day.
A PECULIAR Mixupr.—About a week ago
Charles Saylor had the Italian who con-
ducts the cobbler’s shop in the Bush
Arcade arrested on the charge of larceny
and the hearing was held before justice
of the peace W. H. Musser on Tuesday
evening. From the evidence it was
shown that for some time past a number
of young men have been making the
Italian's place of business a place to con-
gregate late at night and do their drink-
ing. Saylor was with the crowd one night
and alleges that the next morning his tie
pin and some other articles he had with
him were missing. Not being able to lo-
cate the same he had the Italian arrested.
Charley Dan acted as interpretor for the
Italian and when he was testifying Saylor
took exceptions to some of his statements
and emphasized his exceptions with some
very forceful language. He was caution-
ed by justice Musser to keep quiet and,
though he promised to do so, he couldn't
resist the temptation to let fly one part-
ing statement and Mr. Musser at once
instructed constable Montgomery to take
him to jail for contempt of court. Inas-
much as there was no evidence to show
that the Italian was guilty of larceny he
was discharged but required to pay half
the costs, which he promptly did. The
other half of the costs were put on Say-
lor.

FRUIT GROWERS “ASSOCIATION MEEY-
ING.—~Members of the Centre County
Fruit Growers association should bear in
mind that the second meeting of the as-
sociation will be held at Spring Mills on
Saturday of next week, January 29th.
There will be two sessions, in the morn-
ing and afternoon, and a cordial invita-
tion is extended to the public as well as
members to attend.
Fruit growing is a science and if the
farmers of Pennsylvania would make a
more careful study of the most advanced
and practical methods of it and then fol-
low it out in practical work, they would
find their source of revenue therefrom
greatly increased. It is an acknowledged
fact that Pennsylvania grows as fine fla-
vored apples as can be grown anywhere
in the world and with proper culture and
care in marketing they can be made a
very remunerative crop.
BapLY INJURED IN FALL.—While work.
ing on the dump of the washer at the
Scotia ore mines on Tuesday Ross Grove
slipped on the ice and fell a distance of
over ten feet landing on his back on a
piece of lumber. He was rendered un-
conscious and it was first thought his
back was broken, but that was not the
case. But his spine was injured to that
extent that he is almost totally paralyzed
and even should he live the probabilities
are he will be a cripple the balance of
his life. As Mr. Grove is married and
has a family the accident is a most dis-
tressing one, and it is hoped it will not
prove as serious as is now believed.

—Rev. 3. A MeSporran, who for a
number of years past has served as pas-
tor of the Great Island Presbyterian
church in Lock Haven, and who on sev-
eral occasions preached in Bellefonte, on
Sunday preached his farewell sermon and
on Monday left for his old home in Can-
ada, much to the regret of his old con-
gregation. He expects to spend several
years studying abroad.
——The large barn and ice house of
John Milward, at Osceola Mills, were en-
tirely destroyed by fire on Monday even-
ing. Mr. Milward had just begun to
harvest his ice crop so that he had only a
small quantity of ice inthe house at the
time. The entire contents of the barn,
however, were destroyed, entailing con-
siderable loss. Both the buildings and
contents were partially insured.
——Sunday was the coldest weather of
the winter so far. In the morning the
thermometer registered from four to
twelve degrees below zero and at ten
o'clock it was just at zero. It was cold
all day and early Sunday night but mod-
erated toward Monday morning. For
some time past the weather has been
such that the man who is always hanker-
in’ after an “old time" winter ought to be
fully satisfied.

——The revival services in the United
Brethren church continue with unabated
interest. Rev. Winey, though young in
the ministry, preaches the divine gospel
with a directness that appeals to the
hearts of his hearers and the result is
manifest in the number of seekers after
faith at the altar every evening as well
as the great spiritual interest shown by
those in attendance. May the good work
continue indefinitely.
~——Clinton county is now in the pecul-
iar condition of being without a coroner.
At the election last November Dr. Hal A.
Laye, a brother of W. G. Laye, well
known in this place, was elected coroner
and took charge of the office on January
3rd. This week he closed his office in
Lock Haven and moved to Galeton, Pot-
ter county, to go into partnership with
his father-in-law, Dr. Burd, thus leaving
Clinton county without a coroner.
——Mr. R. C. Valentine, of Altoona,
has been in Bellefonte this week organ-
izing a local Order of the Moose and so
far is meeting with a very favorable re-
ception. The Order of the Moose is both
fraternal and beneficial and is one of the
growing orders in the country today, hav-
ing a large and constantly increasing
membership in this State and all over the
country. In order to secure a good list
of charter members for the local organi-
zation the membership fee has been
made phenomenally low, only five dollars.
This will be within the reach of all and
as the annual dues are not excessive
there is no reason why a large lodge
should not be organized and instituted.

——The movement to secure a new
baseball field and athletic grounds for
the combined use of the Bellefonte base
ball team and the Bellefonte Academy is
progressing favorably and it is expected
that within the next ten days or two
weeks some definite action will be taken.
The new grounds, which will be located
out Bishop street, will be comprised of
eight acres of land, enclosed witha high
board fence. It will be large enough for
baseball and football fields, tennis court,
etc. It is also proposed to erect a grand-
stand and bleachers and a suitable track
house for the use of the players. It is
the desire of those interested to get the
grounds in shape for use as early in the
summer as possible.

ARGUMENT COURT.—At argument court
on Monday further evidence was taken
in the license case of James W. Runkle,
landlord of the Centre Hall hotel, and
both the petitioner and the remonstrants
were given a further hearing. After hear-
ing the testimony for and against Judge
Orvis gave the attorneys interested until
yesterday to prepare and file their briefs
of argument.
Some time ago the court appointed a

——During the past few days there has
been a persistent rumor around Belle-

J. Mitch Cunningham, of the Haag house,
and that the lattter was going to take
charge of the Brockerhoff house. Asto
the first part of the rumor, itis true in
a measure. Mr. Kline has been negotiat-
ing with Mr. Cunningham for the pur-
chase of his interest as landlord of the
Haag house but up to this time the deal
has not been closed. As to the second
part of the rumor, there is no foundation
whatever forit. Landlord H. S. Ray has
no intention of disposing of his interest
as landlord in the Brockerhoff house, and
he was never approached by Mr. Cun-
ningham in any such way. His lease on
the property runs for a number of years
yet and he is very well satisfied to stay
where he is.

——The weather this week has not

there is just as good entertainment at

gram of pictures manager Brown reels off
every evening for the entertainment of
his patrons. One never need fear run-
ning up against some old picture that has
been shown in Bellefonte time and again,
as no old pictures are shown at the
