Judging from the tone of his voice and the strenuosity of his struggles to keep himself in the lime-light we greatly fear that the honors the party has already given this Monroe county statesman have made him a vic- tim of what the doctors would probably diagnose as a case of “hydrocephalus,”— a disease next akin to what we common mortals have learned to know as a “swelled head.” —When it comes to Sunday base-ball we're a conservative, ADDITIONAL LOCAL NEWS. ——William I.

She was tak- ing the ashes out of the kitchen stove and in some way her apron dropped on a live coal and caught fire. Before she had time to notice that her apron was on fire the kitchen door opened and Mrs. Morris Otto stepped into the room. The current of fresh air fanned the blaze and in a twinkling the apron wasa mass of flames. Both women screamed for help but in the meantime Mrs. Ingram did not lose her presence of mind and succeeded in tear- ing the apron loose and dashing it to the floor where it was easily extinguished. Her one hand and wrist were more or less burned but fortunately she suffered no other injury, though those who saw her when her apron was on fire thought she would be burned to death. em— as Bertram, on Spring creek. The young man had always been in good health until . | the middle of last November when he contracted inflamatory rheumatism. | Every possible remedy was used and while at times he would improve it was only to suffer relapse after relapse until he final- ly succumbed to the pain-racking dis- ease, | The young man was born in Altoona and was 15 years, 9 months and 19 days oid. In March, 1906, his parents moved to Centre county and located on a farm up Spring creek where they have since lived. Deceased was not only a studious boy but quite industrious and during the summer helped along with the farm work as much as he could possibly do.

The Water committee presented the around town, two leaks in water mains repaired and minor repairs made to the pump at the Phoenix station and also at No. 1 station. The pump at the latter place is being operated only from five to six hours per day and a good head of water kept in the reservoir. Dr. Kirk brought up the matter of a settlement between the borough solicitor and council and that official. J. Thomas Mitchell, stated that he was ready at' any time and presented a statement of all claims collected ‘and amounts paid out with his check to cover balance. Mr. Kirk stated that the Finance committee, of which he was a member, had gone over the account and found it correct, but stated that he did not see how the ac- count could be properly audited when there were no vouchers or borough orders to show for the money paid out. It was finally decided to hold the matter over until next meeting when the chairman of the Finance committee can be present. Mr. Musser moved that the regular an- | nual appropriations to the fire companies be paid and the same was ordered.

Of the thirteen ex-deputies living those present were Stitzer, Woodring, Schaeffers Munson, Wilson, Jackson, Rees and Goss, The only other guests were newspaper men, C. U.

CRATIC WATCHMAN, It was a few minutes past nine o'clock when the ex-officers and their guests re- | paired to the dining room and gathered ; around the spacious table, the sheriffs to i the i ht and deputies and newspaper men to left. A most delicious and appetiz- | Ing course banquet was served and when | the menu had been fully and most satis- | factorily discussed cigars were lighted i i and through the wreaths of curling smoke Miss Louise Gessner, both of Coleville, | erty owners had been notified, but so far | the ex-sheriffs and their deputies told were married at early mass in St. John's ' Catholic church on Wednesday morning | by Rev.

Upon their re- | turn they will stay at the Gessner home ' until the house they have leased has been | vacated.

The borough engi- neer was instructed that if the pavements were not put down within five days he was to go ahead and put same down. Dr. Kirk moved that an order be drawn in favor of the borough treasurer for fifty dollars to pay the interest on a note held by John P. Harris and another for seven- teen dollars to pay overdue interest on a note held by F. W. Crider; and that a note for four thousand dollars held by the Bellefonte Trust company be renewed for four months at five per cent., all of which was so ordered. The doctor also asked that the clerk of council prepare a incidents of their official career which were extremely interesting; but which time and space forbids recounting here. When everyone present had spun his little yarn a permanent organization was effected by the election of D. W. Wood- ring, president, and Col. H. S. Taylor, sec- retary. The question of extending the scope of the organization by taking in all ex-officers of the county was discussed but it was the general sentiment that to do so would make too large an associa- tion and the scheme was abandoned, for the present at least.

E. | CONFERENCE.—The coming sessions of the Central Pennsylvania M. E. conference promise to be unusually interesting in various ways. The large number of deaths within the conference during the past year makes it imperative that many changes be made in pastoral assignments and there is sure tobe a whele lot of shifting around among the ministers. Naturally this has already put some of them upon the anxious bench and they are wondering where their next home may be. In addition to the above the conference cabinet, which is composed of the five district superintendents, is asking that an additional district be made as the work is too much for five superintendents. The matter has already been taken up with Bishop Anderson, who will preside at the | sessions of conference, and it is being - favorably considered. Should such action be taken it will require a re-districting of the entire conference which will mean considerable hard work. The above, with the regular routine work which is always brought before every conference session, will make it an exceedingly busy as well | as interesting one. i s— A SWEET PEA ENTHUSIAST.—Sweet peas ‘will unquestionably be the popular flow- ers with people of good taste and refine- ment the coming season. Why? Be- cause no other flower yields such satis- factory returns in a wealth of beautiful and fragrant blooms for so long a period. But high grade seed of the choicest kinds is absolutely necessary for the best re- sults. And just such seed, the very fin- est in cultivation, compose the collection offered below. Listen.

THE PUBLIC SALE SEASON.—While a few public sales of farm stock and im- plements have already been held through- out the county the regular season for same is during the month of March, and this year will be no exception. As close- ly as it can be figured out there will be from one hundred and twenty-five to one hundred and fifty such sales held in Cen- tre county this spring and a big per cent. of them will be by farmers who have made enough money to retire to private life. And just figure, if you can, the monetary value of stock and other prop- erty that will change hands at the above number of sales. The John A. Hoster- man sale at Centre Hill two weeks ago amounted to $4,935.60. But of course, that was an exceptionally large one. A fair average, however, would be fifteen hundred dollars per sale. For one hun- dred sales this would mean one hundred and fifty thousand dollars, and we feel satisfied that the amount will be greater. All kinds of stock are selling at the high water mark and farmers are eagerly waiting the chance to buy. Good, second" hand farm implements are also bringing good prices, so that the man who is go- ing to have sale can feel satisfied he will get good prices for everything. As an instance of the prices which live stock bring this spring was the sale of Oscar Heckman on Tuesday. Cows sold for sixty and seventy dollars and hogs brought as much as ten cents a pound, live weight, while pigs and shoats brought from twelve to fifteen cents a pound. Horses also brought big prices. The sale amounted to almost twenty-four hun- dred dollars. ——Don. Wallace has bought the old Otto cigar store in the basement of the First National bank building.
