The WATCHMAN, with this issue begins | the publication of the noted story, “FRECKLES,” by GENE STRATTON PORTER, | one of the most entertaining, example- inspiring stories for young people that has ever been given the public. If you have read it, it is ten to one that you will read it again. If you have not, you have no idea of the real pleasure you have missed, or the examples of manly courage and trustworthiness and success of a crippled Irish lad, that we know you would appreciate, that you have failed to enjoy. If you have boys or girls grown or growing up get them to read a few of the first chapters—you will not need to ask them to read more, for you couldn't keep them from it, if you would,—and the lessons that it teaches of an effort to | be something, to do right, of truthful. ness, of courage, of devotion to duty, will be worth more to them than scores of ser- mons on the same subjects. We would advise every one who reads this paper to read this story. It can’t help but make better men and better women. Roosevelt's Violent Speech.

He was about sixty-seven years old and was born aboard ship while his parents were emigrating from Ger- ' many to this county. He was twice mar- ried, his first wife being Miss Sarah Nearhood, of Centre Hall, and his second Miss Mary Bland, of Bellefonte. Both are dead but surviving him are the fol- lowing children: Mrs. Margaret Condo, of Centre Furnace; Leslie, of Wilcox, Elk county; Charles, of Rebersburg, and Simon, of Bellefonte.

He was not quite a year old and up until two months ago was quite healthy and very bright. At that time he became ill and although everything possible was done he gradually grew worse until death claimed the little sufferer. His death was a severe blow to his parents as well as his grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Frank P. Blair, of this place, who went over to attend the funeral, which was held on Sunday afternoon, burial being made in again during the season. the Curwensville cemetery. | to manhood he engaged in farming, an | { occupation he followed until about seven years ago when he retired to a comfort- able home in Port Matilda.

Ordinarily he can do most anything with the dog and it was to prove this fact to a friend that he tried to take the dog’s dinner when the canine resented it with a bite. But Mr. Chambers is not worrying about the in- jury, as he avers he has been bitten doz- ens of times without any serious result» and he confidently believes himself im- mune so far as hydrophobia is concern- ed. ~The Grove family reunion at the fair grounds on Wednesday proved a very pleasant gathering. Over two hun- dred people were present and the weath- er was such that the day was one of supreme enjoyment for all. The big din- ner—and a big one it was—was spread in the main exhibition building and from the rapidity with which the good things disappeared it was evident that the open air had whetted the appetites of every- body. And there was plenty of every- thing and to spare, as was proved by the nice basket of cake sent to this office, for which the donors have our thanks. ——The annual outing of the Pennsyl- vania State Editorial association will this year start from Wilkes-Barre, on Wednes- day, July 24th, and the tickets will be good for ten days.

Heron, of Altoona, made a few days visit here last week, a guest of A. J. Shook. Chicago was a field of wild speculations and disappointments this week. But now the nomi- nee? Miss Anna Cummings left on Saturday last for Lock Haven on a three weeks sewing engage- ment. The cherry crop is about ready to gather now, and no doubt will be as large as in years gone by, even if the weather has been quite dry. Children’s service in the Reformed church on | Sunday evening last was quite an interesting oc- | casion, and notwithstanding the inclemency of the weather, was largely attended. Flag day was generally observed here on Fri- day last. Flags and the national colors were dis- played everywhere. The postoffice and stores were all very handsomely decorated. The supervisors are putting the roads through town in first rate condition. Where it was low they filled it up with plenty of stone and gravel, and in several places cut channels for the water to run off to keep the road bed dry and avoid mud puddles. Evidently the supervisors know what they are doing. A day or two since I called into the handsome millinery saloon of Mrs. Geo. W. Wolfe, on busi- ness, just as she received and was opening the third duplicate of hats since her spring purchase. They were beautiful creations, with such an zrray of shapes and styles it is not surprising that her saloon is headquarters for all the latest models in feminine head wear. M. C. Stover, the popular landlord of the Spring Mills hotel, has added several improve. ments and conveniences to the building for the comfort of guests. The hotel has been for years headquarters for commercial agents. His son-in- law, P. K. Detwiler, hasa fine livery in the rear, where fast teams can be had at any time. Mr. Detwiler has recently added an automobile and several new vehicles to the livery. I met one of the condensary officials a day or two since, and inquired about the plant to be erected here, stating that there were grave doubts of it ever being built. He remarked good humor” edly, “Oh, don't get out of patience, don't be like the Irishman who said he combed himself but once a year, and it nearly killed him. But let me tell vou that the condensary plant will be here and in operation by fall.” So, as the old song has it, we'll wait a little longer. Tornado Destroys Town. When after twenty-four hours of iso , lation communication finally was es tablished with the town of Jackson ville, near Washington, Pa., it was found that the entire village had been wrecked by a tornado which, accom: panied by heavy rain and a severe | electrical storm, swept over that sec tion. Not a house, barn or stable is left intact in Jacksonville, and 1000 inhab- ftants are camping in the fields. Many are suffering from hurts and physi ! elans Lave been sent to the stricken district from neighboring towns. Members of the Unity Presbyterian church had remarkable escapes from | death when the tornado tore the rool from the building. Many of the con gregation .suffered slight injuries. So far it is impossible to make an accurate estimate of the loss in the tornado district. Figures received show that at least $100,000 worth of property was destroyed. This is ex: clusive of a large number of valuable orchards swept away and summer crops simply wiped out of existence. The storm was the worst which has ever visited Washington and Greene counties. Messenger Boy Wins $3771. Wishing Ring, a cast-off from Rome Respess’ stable, galloped down to the wire winner of the sixth race at La tonia, Ky., at odds of 947 to 1, with only three persons holding tickets on her. One of these was a messenger boy. He had two winning tickets, and when the cashier handed him $3771 he refused to leave the track without police protection. The guard was furnished, and he chartered a street car to convey his winnings back to Cincinnati, The owner of the horse, Robert McMillan, bet on another horse to win. This is the largest odds ever record: ed against a winning horse on the American turf. Man Killed In Strike Riot. A thousand striking laborers storm: ed the plant of the American Smelt ing and Refining company in Perth Amboy, N. J.,, and were fired on by deputy sheriffs. One striker was killed and three others were wounded. With the first volley from the officers the strikers fell back. The man killed was Steven Dudock He was shot twice through the neck Those injured are in a critical condi: tion. All of the men were strikers. They were shot by the deputies who fired to prevent the men from setting fire to the $10,000,000 plant of the smelt: ing company. Our Horse Population 23,778,481. According to the year book for 1211 of the department of agriculture, the number of horses in the United States, excepting the Philippine Islands, was 23,778,481; the total of Canada was 2,303,725; the total of Central America was 27,873,248; South America, 9,155, 425; Austria-Hungary, 4,196,634; Eu ropean Russia, 23,648,876. Lightning Kills Forty Hogs. Freak lightning killed forty out of a drove of forty-four fat hogs at the farm of BE. B. Webber, north of Laddonia, Mo. It is estimated that this peculiar prank of lightning cost the owner, who was preparing to ship the hogs to market, $600. ‘
