ny has just published two exceedingly
neat little booklets for distribution to ag-
riculturists and others intercsted in the
fertility of soils and their crops. One is
on “Alfalfa;” the other is on “Use of
Lime on Land.” Both are edited by the
School of Agriculture and Experiment
Station of The Pennsylvania State Col-
lege and contain helpful hints in growing
alfalfa and in the use of lime on the soils.
They are most gratifying in that they
show the interest which the worlds great-
est railroad corporation is taking in the
work done at Centre county's great insti-
tution of learning. While we realize that
this interest is not wholly charitable, in
truth it is probably wholly selfish, never-
theless it will make for much good for the
farmers of Pennsylvania. For if The
Pennsylvania State College can tell them
crops to market. That is exactly what it
is after. The moral of it all is this: I
this great railroad corporation has enough
faith to believe that college information
will help the farmers then the farmers
should have even greater faith and should
seek with avidity all the information to
be disseminated by this most recent plan,
~—In these days when the high price
of all kinds of food products is being dis-
cussed the country over Dr. H. P. ARMSBY,
of State College, has come to the front
with a statement that the proper solution
to the question will be to conserve the
grain food products for the use of hu-
manity and feed the horses, cattle and
hogs on the coarser food products not
suitable for man. He claims that forty-
five per cent. of the grain raised in the
country is now fed to animals, whereas
if this was conserved for the use of man
it would so increase the supply that a
decrease in the price would be sure to
follow. He is now attempting to solve
the question of the coarse food products
for animals in his work with the respi-
ration calorimeter, at State College, but
has not yet reached that stage where he
can safely prescribe a fit substitute for
grain for the animal kingdom.

youth
united with the Gray's Methodist Episco-
pal church. After her marriage to Caleb
H. Kephart, who was a faithful member
of the church of his wife's choice, and
lately deceased, she transferred her mem-
bership to the M. E. church at Filmore,
where in her christian activities she most
signally honored her Master and glorified
her creator. The married life of this de-
voted wife and husband was pleasant to
behold and in no home could a minister
of the gospel of any communion find a
more cordial welcome than in theirs.
For fifty-seven years there was an un-
broken family record untii November
30th, 1909, when the husband and father
laid by the implements of toil to receive
the crown of life. .
Mrs. Kephart was a sister of Rev.
George Torring Gray, for thirty-twoyedrs
an honored member of the Central Penn-
sylvania Conference of the M. E. church,
and a skillful workman in the Master's
vineyard, of whom it was said, “God's
finger touched him and he slept;” of S.
Durbin Gray, who was a prominent law-
yer in Centre county and a very useful
member of the M. E. church in Bellefonte,
where he served with honor in many of-
ficial positions, and of Harriet S. Gray, a
sweet spirited christian who passed to
i her reward long since.
The loss of her devoted husband seem-
ed too much for her to bear and almost
from that very day her friends could see
that her sorrow was fast hastening the
day of her demise which occurred January
24th, 1910. She was conscious, clear,
self-possessed and triumphant until angels
beckoned her away and Jesus bade her
come, surrounded by her family of five
children who sang as she looked out and
passed on to the side of her companion
in the Heavenly land.
Funeral services were conducted by her
pastor, Rev. A. L. Frank, assisted by Rev.
C. C. Shuey, on Friday morning at 10 a.
m. at her late home at Filmore. Inter-
ment was made in the family plot in
Gray's cemetery. She awaits the dawn
of the morn eternal.

.FisHBURN.—Following an illness of six
weeks with a complication of diseases
Mrs. Esther Fishburn, wife of Henry
Fishburn, died at her home on Willow-
bank street at six o'clock last Friday
evening. She had been in failing health
the past thrée years, and of late had
been a great though patient sufferer.
Deceased was a daughter of Rev. and
Mrs. David E. Klopp and was born at
Lebanon. She was 67 years, 5 months
and 17 days old. She was a consistent
member of the Reformed church since
girlhood and was a good christian wom-
an. After her marriage to Mr. Fishburn
she lived on the farm in Benner town-
ship until a few years ago when they re-
tired and moved to Bellefonte.
Mrs. Fishburn was the mother of six-
teen children, ten of whom are living, as
follows: Jacob P., of Kansas City, Mo.;
Mrs. Minnie M. Martin, of Harrisburg;
George K., of Amboy, Ill.; William N., of
Bellefonte; Mrs. Agnes M. Tate, of
Quickside; Charles H., of Freeport, Ill;
John S., of Wilkinsburg; Frederick S., of
Swissvale; Oscar W., of Quickside, and
Paul S., of Wilkinsburg. She is also sur-
vived by her husband, who is eighty-five
years old and feels her death very keen-
ly.
The funeral was held from St. John's
Reformed church at ten o'clock on Wed-
nesday morning. Dr. Ambrose M.
Schmidt officiated at the services and
burial was made in the Union cemetery.

DusLING.—At three o'clock on Tuesday
morning Anthony Dusling died at his
home in Bush Addition as the result of
cancer. The disease affected his mouth
and throat so that for some weeks it was
almost impossible for him to take nour-
ishment, though he was not confined to
the house longer than about a month be-
fore his death.
He was about seventy-seven years of
age and was born in Germany though he
came to this country when a young man.
During his life he followed farming, work-
ed as a stone mason or did most anything
in the way of labor, being an unusually
industrious man. He acquired considerable
property and a competence suffi-
cient to keep him comfortably when ill
health kept him from work. He was a
member of the Catholic church and 2 man
who was respected by all who knew him.
He is survived by his wife and one
daughter, Miss Rose O. Dusling. The
funeral was held from the Catholic church
at ten o'clock yesterday morning, burial
being made in the Catholic cemetery.
i i
WRIGHT.—Rev. Robert Erskine Wright,
who was rector of St. John's Episcopal
church in this place from 1893 to 1897, but
who of late was rector of All-Saints church,
at Fallsington, Bucks county, died at the
Wright homestead in Philadelphia last
Friday night. He was a man of great
culture and wide popularity and his
death is a source of deep regret among
the clergy as well as laity of the church
wherever he was known. :

| illness his brother, Dr. R. E. Sleppy, was
almost constantly at his bedside. But
He was a son of Rev. and Mrs. AL J.
Sleppy, of Pittsburg, and was nineteen
years of age. He came to the Bellefonte
Academy from the Allegheny High school
and this would have been his last year
here as he was preparing to enter State
College next year. In addition to being
‘a good student he was a thorough ath-
lete, being a member of the Academy
baseball, football and basketball teams.
His record as pitcher for the baseball
team last season was a very good one
and he was elected captain of the team
for next year. In addition to his parents
he is survived by five brothers and three
sisters.
The remains were taken to the frater-
nity house on the hill where they lay in
state until Monday evening when brief
funeral services were held by Dr. J. Alli-
son Platts, a close friend of the family.
Tuesday morning the body was taken to
Pittsburg to the residence of bis brother,
Dr. R. E. Sleppy, on the North Side, from
where the funeral was held at 2.300'clock
on Wednesday afternoon.

HORNER.—Residents of Pleasant Gap
were shocked last Saturday afternoon to
learn of the sudden death of Ellis Horner,
of that place. At half past three o'clock
he left Noll's store for home in usual good
health and spoke to several people on the
way. Reaching home he sat down and
was talking with members of his family
when just on the stroke of four his head
dropped to one side and he died instant.
ly; heart failure evidently being the
cause. A fatality of sudden deaths seems
to follow that family. It will be remem-
bered that deceased’s father a number of
years ago was stung on the nose by a
yellow jacket and died within twenty-four
hours from blood poison, while a brother
of the deceased also died quite suddenly.
Deceased was a son of the late n
Horner and was about fifty-four yeat$ of
age. He was a laborer by occupation
and of late had been engaged in cutting
prop timber on an operation on Nittany
mountain. He is survived by his wife
and nine children, five of whom are quite
small; he also leaves one brother, George
Horner, who lives on the old homestead
on Nittany mountain. The funeral was
held on Tuesday morning, burial being
made in the Lutheran church cemetery.

SHUGERT.— William Finley Shugert,
only brother of the late J. Dunlop Shu-
gert, died at his home in Washington on
Tuesday afternoon. When comparative-
ly a young man he suffered a stroke of
paralysis which left him more or less
crippled and itis presumed that his death
was caused by another stroke. He
was sixty-eight years of age and was well
known in this community, where he
spent the early part of his life. In 1866
he went to Washington and secured a
position in the patent office in which he
had been employed ever since. He was a
man of superior education and well in-
formed cn all the leading questions of
the day. His only immediate survivor is
his wife. The remains were brought to
Bellefonte on the 4.10 train last evening
and taken direct to the Episcopal church
where brief funeral services were held
after which interment was made in the
Shugert plot in the Union cemetery.
i i
GEHRET.—Charles Gehret, an old sol-
dier and well known citizen of Bellefonte,
died at his home on Burnside street at
three o'clock on Sunday afternoon of
pheumonia. He had been in feeble health
for some time but his last illness was
only of a few days duration.
He was born in this place and was past
eighty-one years of age. He served dur-
ing the Civil war and was a member of
Gregg Post, No. 95. A number of years
ago he was street commissioner of Belle-
fonte and was always an honest, indus-
trious man. He is survived by his wife
and the following children: Frank,
Charles, Boyd, and Mrs. Anna McQuil-
lan. He also leaves three brothers, Wil-
RaymoND.~Edward, the six month's
old son of Harry Raymond, of Beaver
street, died on Saturday noon. He had
been delicate since birth and his death
about ten days before his death when he |
became ill and was compelled to take his
bed. From that time on his decline was '
gradual until the end.
Deceased was a member of one of the
most prominent families in Centre coun-
ty. His grandfather came to this country
from Scottland in the eighteenth cen-
tury and located at Linden Hall where
they made their home for half a century.
It was there Mr. Irvin was born on
January 23rd, 1830, thus being at the time
of his death eighty years and six days
old. His parents were John and Hannah
Greene Irvin. His early education was re-
ceived in the public schools after which
he took a course inthe Lawrenceville
Academy. Returning from there he en-
tered the woolen mill at Oak Hall and
shortly afterwards was made a partner in
the business and finally became sole
owner, He also conducted the Oak Hall
foundry for a number of years until ad-
vancing age compelled his retirement,
He was married in 1854 to Miss Jane
Riley, a daughter of Daniel Riley, of
Boalsburg, and a sister of the late Judge
Riley. They took up their residence at
Oak Hall in the house in which they have
lived ever since. Three children were the
result of that union, two of whom sur-
vive, namely: Mrs. William F. Mitchell,
of Washington, Pa., and Mrs. Thomas F.
Johnson, of Philadelphia, but who has
been at home most of the time during
the past year. Mrs. Irvin also survives,
although she has been quite ill since the
night of her_ husband's death. He also
leaves two half-sisters in the west.
Mr. Irvin was a Republican in politics
and for thirty-five years was a prominent
member of the Presbyterian church. The
funeral was held from his late home at
| 10:30 o'clock on;Monday morning. Rev.
i W. K. Harnish officiated at the services

FEARON. — Sidney John Fearon died
quite unexpectedly at his home in Beech
Creek on Tuesday afternoon. He was
one of the rural mail carriers from that
borough and about September first he was
stricken with typhoid fever. He had just
recovered therefrom and about ten days
ago decided he would go back on his
route on Tuesday when he contracted a |
cold which developed into pleurisy. At’
no time, however, was his condition con- |
sidered even serious, even up until within’
a few minutes of his death. |

valid for almost a year Henry Roush died |
at the home of his daughter, Mrs. John |
H. Detwiler, near Old Fort, on January
20th. His illness was the result of his ad} |

was born in Bellefonte and was about

CLEAN THE PAVEMENTS.—Not in years
have the pavements of Bellefonte beer in
such a dangerous condition with ice and
snow as they have been this winter and it
is only a matter of good luck that pedes-
trians have not been injured from falling
thereon. Business men and property
owners have shown a marked degree of
negligence or carelessness in even trying
properties clean. Even two weeks ago
when the hard rain and thaw softened the
ice so that it all could have been cleaned
off the pavements with little or no trouble
very few took advantage of it with the
result that it again froze and left the
pavements ina worse condition than ever.
There is an ordinance in Bellefonte re-
quiring property owners and business
men to remove all the snow and ice from
the . pavements within forty-eight hours
but it is utterly disregarded. It is also a
well known law that property owners are
liable for damages for any injury sustain-
ed by an individual in a fall on an icy
pavement, and this fact alone ought to be
enough to induce all to at least make an
tle. Interment was made in St. Ray- | attempt to keep their pavements clean and

~The “Lincoln Day" addiess at
State College, (Saturday morning, Febru-

Hon. Clark E. Carr, of Illinois, an associ-
ate and friend of both Lincoln and Doug-
las, while they lived. He was one of the
committee on arrangements for the Lin-
coln-Douglas debate in Galesburg, in
1858, and is provided with a store of rem-
iniscences of those bygone days, that will

——Dr. P. Hoffer Dale, of Centre Hall,
has bought the office and good will of
Dr. John Robinson, of State College, and
will move there for the practice of his
profession on or before April first. The
delay in the change is made for the pur-
pose of giving him an opportunity to dis-
pose of his practice at Centre Hall. Dr.
Robinson expects to leave State College
but just where he will locate is not yet
known. He will probably take a course
he seeks a new location.

own troubles getting the boy back to

——Last week we mentioned the fact
of Mrs. Charlotte W. Elliott, of New
York, being in Bellefonte a few hours on
Wednesday. Mrs. Elliott is the woman
who last summer enticed about thirty-five
Bellefonters into an American University
course at $29.50 per member and then
failed to carry out the promises made.
The result was a general kick and a
number of the subscribers quit paying
their monthly installments while Mrs.
Elliott was written up in the newspapers.
When she was here last week she threw
out hints which rather intimated that she
contemplated proceedings for damages
but that was not her mission at all. She
came here to see if she couldn't compel
the delinquent subscribers to resume
their payments but she talked to the wrong
man first and he advised her to drop the
matter and get out of town, which she
did on the next train. .
——Two mad bulls in a china shop
would be about a correct comparison to
the swoop of about two hundred State
College students into Bellefonte last Fri-
day afternoon and evening. Having suc-
cessfully passed their mid-winter ex-
aminations they were hunting an outlet
for a big dose of surcharged energy and
they selected Bellefonte as the place to
shoot it off. The first shot was made
shortly after the arrival of the noon train
when one of a bunch of three threw a
suit case through one of the big windows
in the Pennsylvania railroad passenger
depot. The next shot was fired by the
Bellefonte police when the offenders were
’ ‘
in a safe condition. Some of the worst
pavements in Bellefonte are in front of
| properties the owners of which are the
best able to keep them clean, and some
day they may be compelled to pay for
their negligence by being the defendant
in a suit for damages.

——Since the scaffolding has been re-
moved from the court room the public
can appreciate just how beautiful and
artistic the room will look when it is all
finished and the furnishings in place.
And if the entire court house, old part and
new addition,corresponds when completed
with the court room it will be a job that
will more than likely meet with the ap-
proval of a large percentage of the pub-
lic. The work on the remainder of the
building is not progressing very rapidly,
and it will take some tall hustling to get
the room in readiness for holding the
February term of court, which is only a
few days over three weeks off. In that
time the new stairways will have to be
put in place and the glass partition in the
rear of the room put up. The benches
will all have to be varnished and arranged
in place and accommodations made for
both the grand and traverse juries. Work-
men have begun on rearranging the vaults
80 as to install the new steel book-racks
and filing cases, most of which are now
here. The plasterers are working on the
new building and it will not be long until
it will be ready for the interior woodwork
finish.
THE GIRL FROM THE U. S. A.—“The
Girl from the U. S. A.” the attraction at
the opera house on Tuesday evening,
February 8th, is a joyous creation, and
something new in stage-land. The girl
goes tantalizingly light-hearted into delici-
ous entanglements that keep the action
of the play splendidly melo-dramatic. The
clean, fine atmosphere of the production
is most wholesome and welcome. The
heart-interest is deep and natural. There
is a triangle love-affair and the story of
the play contains several social astonish-
ments that are delightfully artful yet
genuine episodes of real life.
