On the 19th of February, 1863, she was

in 1865 the young couple settled on the
old Boal homestead farm in Potter town-

Entitled to Their Share.
Of course our Keystone friends have a
right to claim their full share or credit for
the Maine victory. They didn't organize
a third party up there, to draw votes from
the Democratic nominee. They didn’t
try to mix up the issues so that voters
would forget the extravagance,the wrongs
and the rottenness of the Republican par-
ty; nor did they go up and down the
State blathering about the Democratic
party—that hasn't had a Governor or the
power to pass, repeal or change a law for
twenty years—being as crooked and cor-
rupt as the Republican party had proved
itself to be. Not at all. They were not
there and they were not in the fight and the
result is just what we understand it to be
—a disastrous defeat for present-day Re-
publicanism.
And because they didn’t do in Maine,
what they are trying to do in Pennsylva-
nia is reason, of course, why they should
claim a share in the glory of that great
victory.
Surely no one will attempt, to either
lessen their exuitations or curtail their
glorification over what they didn’t do to
defeat the Democrats of Maine.
——Now Mr. ROOSEVELT would have
the world understand that President TAFT
is not allied with him. Possibly he doesn’t
care to share the glory of the new na-
tionalism victories, but he had better win
them first before he gets so jealous.

under that blow from Maine, possibly it
was indifference, possibly it was inten-
tional but the reception Mr. PENROSE’S
candidates for state offices received in
Bellefonte leaves something to be ex-
plained by the local leaders of Republi-
canism. JOHN M. REYNOLDS, the rene-
gade aspirant for Lieutenant Governor,
arrived in town Monday night. No one
met him, no one knew him and he slip-

instead of on the way to a party rally at
Grange park. Wednesday morning Jorn
K. TENER, the PENROSE nominee for
Governor; and Chas. E. PATTON, the
CANNON candidate for Congress, came
into town and made about as much stir
as BILL Doak would at a talk-fest. Word
was sent out that notables were
us but there was nothing doing and as a
last resort, a hurry call was sent for the
Coleville band. By noon HARRY KELLER,

terian church.
Mrs. Boal is survived by her husband
and five children, namely: Mrs. D. A.
Boozer, of Centre Hall; Mrs. C. H. Mey-
er, of Reedsville; Mrs. C. W. Slack, of
Centre Hill; Mrs. W. E. Park, of Mon-
rrose, and Mrs. W. Gross Mingle, of Cen
tre Hall. She also leaves two sisters,
Mrs. Agnes M. Spangler, of Joliet, IIL,
and Mrs. C. D. Runkle, of Pittsburg; and
two half-sisters and one half-brother as
follows: Mrs. Elmer Campbell, of Lin-
den Hall; Mrs. Z. P. Krise, of Pittston,
and Hudson W. Love, of Wilkinsburg.
The funeral was held at ten o'clock on
Wednesday morning. Dr. W. H. Schuy-
ler, of the Presbyterian church, had
charge of the services and was assisted
by Rev, B. F. Beiber, of the Lutheran
church. Interment was made in the Cen-

SHALER.—Col. James B. Shaler died at
the home of his brother in Ocean City
on September 7th. He was a son of
Judge Charles Shaler who, with his fami-
ly, came to Bellefonte at the outbreak of
the Civil war and purchased the Curtin
house on the corner of Allegheny and
Howard streets. They lived there until
1865 when they sold the house to the
original owners and went to Pittsburg to
live. Col. Shaler spent a good part of
his time in Panama where for ten years
he was superintendent of the Panama
railroad, when he was known as the
“King of the Isthmus.” Three of his sis-
ters went to Panama with him and all of
them contracted the fever and died with-
in two weeks. Col Shaler had been an
invalid for four years prior to his death.

PRITCHARD.—Reuben W. Pritchard, son
of Mr. and Mrs. D. W. Pritchard, of Mor-
risdale, died in the Monongahela City
hospital last Saturday of typhoid fever,
after a brief illness. He was born at
Morrisdale and was 58 years, 9 months
and 24 days old. For some time past he
had been located at Donora, near Pitts-
burg, where he was when he was taken
sick. He was a member of the Moshan-
non Lodge of Masons, No. 391, of Phil-
ipsburg. In addition to his parents he is
survived by two brothers: Lewis A., of
Morrisdale, and A. C., of Donora. The re-

day evening and the funeral was held
from his parent's home on Tuesday after-
noon, burial being made in the Philips-

WALKER.— Mrs. Amanda Walker, relict
of the late William Walker, died at the
home of her brother, Jacob Meyer, of
Boalsburg, at ten o'clock on Sunday
evening.'GHer illness dates back a num-
ber of years and about a year ago she
underwent an operation in the Bellefonte
hospital which resulted in prolonging her
life but did not effect a cure.
She was a daughter of the late Henry
and Catharine Meyer and was born at
Boalsburg January 28th, 1849. In the
fall of 1889 she was united in marriage
to William Walker who died eight years
later leaving her without issue. She is
survived by two brothers and one sister, |
namely: Jacob Meyer, of Boalsburg;
Philip H., of Centre Hall, and Mrs. A. W.

far it has not been tested and it is not
yet known whether it will be up to the
standard in quality or not, but it is sin-
cerely hoped by everybody that it will,
as the streets on which the road is being
built have certainly been closed to traffic
long enough. And in this connection it
might be said that the residents of Alle-
gheny street have been doing a good bit
of kicking the past two weeks. Every
crossing on that thoroughfare from Linn
street to the Diamond has been removed
and the road dug out. The various rains
of the past fortnight rendered the street
very muddy and on such occasions there
was no way of getting from one side to
the other without wading through a mud
puddle. Half a load of ashes placed at
each crossing would be an easy way of
solving the difficulty until the road is
completed.
MissiONARY WOMEN IN CONVENTION.
~The thirty-first annual convention of
the Women’s Home and Foreign Mission-
ary society of the Synod of Central Penn-
sylvania met in Grace Lutheran church
at State College last week.
The district includes Mifflin, Juniata,
Perry, Union, Snyder, Clinton and Centre
counties. The convention speakers were
all men and women of recognized ability,
and brought messages of power and help-
fulness to the meeting.
Among those who spoke were: Rev.
A. S. Hartman, D. D., of Baltimore, secre-
tary of the Board of Home Missions; Rev.
W. H. Dolbier, D. D., of Beaver Springs;
Mrs. { Krechting, of Philadelphia; Mrs. J.
F. Seebach, of Lewisburg, and Miss Mary
C. Lowe, who is a missionary to India.
Splendid reports were made by the va-
rious chairmen of committees and depart-
ment secretaries. Great credit should be
given to women who are engaged in the
great mission work.
The choir under the efficient leadership
of Prof. Geo. Baldwin, rendered several
very excellent selections at each even-
ing’s session. .
The following officers were elected for
the ensuing year: President, Mrs. W.M.
Rearick; vice president, Miss Anna Kei-
ser; corresponding secretary, Miss May
Barry; recording secretary, Mrs. J. C.
Horton; treasurer, Mrs. A. H. Spangler,
