—We predict that New York will
have a Democratic Senator in Washington
ready to qualify when the Sixty-second
Congress meets in extraordinary session
on the 4th of April and he will be a man
worthy of the Empire State and the great
party which controls its Legislature.
——In his remarkable letter com-
mendatory of BALLINGER President TAFT
reveals a marvelous power of invective
and a meagre amount of sincerity. He
denounces Mr. BALLINGER'S enemies as
foul conspirators and assassins of char-
acter and immediately afterward appoints
one of them as the successor of his
“fallen idol.” If what he says of those
who forced the fight is true his new Sec-
retary of the Interior is morally worse
than his old and if it is not true he is a
vilifyer and coward. President TAFT is
at liberty to elect which horn of the
dilemma he will impale himself upon.
——Representative MEYER, of this
county, has presented a bill “authorizing
justices of the peace, aldermen, magis-
trates or other officers, authorized by law,
to take an information and issue war-
rants of arrest, to require, under certain
circumstances in cases of misdemeanor
and larceny of goods under ten dollars
($10.00) in value, the informant to file
with the said officer a bond to cover costs
accruing before the said justice of the
peace, alderman, magistrate or other of-
ficer and empowering the said justice of
the peace, alderman, magistrate, or other
officer to dispose of the costs upon the
discharge of the defendant or defendants
for want of sufficient evidence and pro-
viding a penalty for default in pay-
ment of the costs of the said hearing.”
It has been acted upon favorably by the
Judiciary committee, and will probably
become a law without much objection.

tity of peanuts in their group of bags.

~——During the middle of the day the
past week, when the sun shone with con-
siderable warmth, it has been quite an
alluring sight to watch the trout feed in
Spring creek, opposite this office. For
some time after the big consignment of
trout from the Bellefonte hatchery had
been put into Spring creek and Logan's
branch large numbers of them could be
seen opposite this office and all along in
the creek from the falls to the Central
Railroad of Pennsylvania depot. Then
came the high water and for some time
afterward they were very scarce and
fishermen were more or less alarmed over |
the possible fact of their having been |
swept down stream. But they had evi- |
dently taken refuge in the deeper water
and now that the stream has cleared up
and sunshiny weather prevails they are
once again seeking the shallower water
as the best place to feed, because they
are now more plentiful in the section of
stream referred to above than they have |
been for a month. And the question still |
agitating the minds of many is will the

SioN.—Every member of borough council
was present at the regular meeting on
Monday evening and it was the longest
session held in a year. Many questions |
were discussed and a few settled. 1
At a meeting of the board of directors |
or the Y. M. C. A. held on February 24th, |
C. T. Gerberich. H. C. Quigley Esq. and |
Joseph LL. Montgomery were appointed a
committee to interview council relative to
the water for the swimming pool Mrs. W. |
P. Wilson has offered to construct for the
Association and the two last named mem. i
bers of the committee appeared before |
council Monday evening. Mr. Quigley
acted as spokesman and after telling of |
Mrs. Wilson's very generous cffer, which |
he said, if carried out, would be of ines.
timable benefit to everybcdy in Belle |
fonte, asked that counci! furnish the water
free of cost, as it would be too much of a
burden upon the Asscciation to be forced
to pay for the water as well as the
steam necessary to keep it at the right |
temperature, light, etc. He stated that it
would take 80,000 gallons of water to fill
the pool, which would have to be changed
twice a week. When the matter was taken |
up in regular order council figured that to
supply the pool would mean a yearly con-
sumption of 8,320,000 gallons of water,
which at present meter rates would cost !
practically $330.00. The proposition ap- |
peared such 2 stupendous one that the
matter was referred to the Water com-
mittee to secure more definite informa-
tion in the matter, especially as to who
was to be benefitted by the swimming
pool, every boy and girl in Bellefonte who
saw fit to take advantage of it, or only,
those who were able to take membership |
in the Association, and report at next!
meeting of council for further action.
The Street committee reported some
minor repairs around town and the Water |
committee presented the report of the
borough engineer showing a number of
repairs made to water pipes, and also an
Noan H. SWAYNE II SCORES WITH THE
PIILADELPHIA ORCHESTRA—It hasn't been
so long ago that Noah H. Swayne II,
then president of the Nittany Iron Co.,
and one of Bellefonte’s most esteemed
residents, contributed so well and so often
to the musical events of our town. In
fact his powerful bass voice is still the
standard by which all others are rated by
the local critic. Mr. Swayne, as you
will recall, has been living in Philadelphia
recently; being the local manager of
Rogers-Brown & Co., iron brokers. It
was but natural that his voice should find
| him out even in so large a city, but the
| notice published in the Ledger concerning
his recent appearance with the Philadel-
phia orchestra, at one of its popular con-
certs, is vo flattering that we republish it |
for the plessure of his many Bellefonte
friends.

Tue METHODIST CONFERENCE. — Dr-
T. S. Wilcox, will preach his farewell ser-
mon for the conference year on Sunday,
if able, and on Tuesday will leave for the
annual conference which will be held at
Bloomsburg beginning Tuesday evening
with the opening conference sermon.
Conference this year will be un-
usually interesting as several im-
portant questions will come up for
settiement. One of these will be the re-
districting of the conference area and
adding an extra district superintendent,
making six instead of five as at present.

Some time ago the water rent collector
reported that the county commissioners
refused to pay their bill for the quarter of
July, August and September, something
over $37.00, which they considered beyond
all reason, as the bill for the preceding
quarter was less than six dollars. When
the meter was read for the quarter em"
bracing October, November and Decem- |
ber it showed a consumption of water to |
the value of $9.61, the highest it ever was,
outside of the disputed bill. This amount
the commissioners were willing to pay
; and on vote of council the collector was
. instructed to make a settlement accord- |
ingly.
The final settlement of the account of
the borough solicitor was taken up by
Mr. Keller, chairman of the Finance com-
mittee, and after explaining the matter
thoroughly, the solicitor’s check for a few
cents over $351.00 and his account up to
; last August was accepted and approved.
{

i
; Mr. Keller then presented two bills for
special services rendered by the borough |
solicitor. One for $125.00 for a trip to
Harrisburg inregard to the new sewerage
system demanded by the State Board of
Health, and one for $195.00 for trips to
Huntingdon and Philadelphia relative to
an attempted sale of the Green mill prop-
erty. Dr. Kirk objected to the payment
of the bills on the ground that the extra
service had not been properly authorized
by council, but they were approved and
ordered paid by a vote of five to two,
Messrs. Beezer, Judge, Keller, Musser and
Sheffer voting aye and Grimm and Kirk
nay.
The Bellefonte hospital authorities |
asked that a crossing be laid on Willow- |
bank street opposite the entrance to that
institution and council voted to have one
laid.
The Finance committee asked for the
renewal of a note for $5,000 for four
months, which was authorized.
An application for re-election as water
rent collector from W. A. Ishler was re-
ceived and held over until next meeting
night.
A letter was received from the mem.
bers of the board of borough auditors
notifyingicouncil that they were now in

ers, etc, for investigation and audit.

DR. KIRK TO OPERATE A CHICKEN
FARM.—Dr. M. A. Kirk has decided to go
into the chicken business on the whole-
sale plan. He recently purchased thirty-
two acres of land on the hill east of Nit-
tany furnace and adjoining the Humes
farm, from William Swarmer, of Birds-
boro, but who formerly lived near this
place, and it is his intention to put in all
the spare time he has from his practice in
starting and operating a chicken farm.
Up-to-date hen houses will be built and
only choice breeds will be selected to
make up his stock. The doctor, who will
start his farm this spring, has always
been a chicken fancier and will be right
in his element in growing chickens on the
wholesale plan. Then, in addition, he
will always be sure to have all the eggs
he wants when the price soars to forty
cents a dozen.
