they have lived ever since. Saturday

——The crop condition for corn in
Ferguson and adjoining, townships has
been materially benefitted the past three
weeks by the frequent rains, and what at
one time promised a small crop, is now
considerably improved. Capt. J. M. Kep-
ler, in Ferguson township, has one of the
finest fields of corn in Centre ceunty.
FIREMEN IN CONVENTION.—One of the
features of the annual convention of the
Mitchell Palmer, of Pennsylvania, declar-
ed at Democratic National headquarters
today, that the row in his State between
Senator Penrose and William Flinn, the
Bull Moose boss, is surely shoving the
Keystone State into the Democratic col-
umn.
“This break between Penrose and Flinn
is showing the Republicans of Pennsylva-
nia where they really stand,” said Pal-
mer. “Taft is growing stronger every
day as a result. Four weeks ago Roose-
veit was much stronger than Tatt. Now
they are running neck and neck, and I
expect to see them split the Republican
vote evenly between them. Wilson is to-
day 75,000 votes stronger in Pennsylva-
nia than Bryan was in 1908, and all that
he has to do is to hold his own. If Flinn
persists in his declared intention of run-
ning a Bull Moose candidate in every
Congressional district in the State 25 out
of the 36 Congressmen from Pennsylva-
nia will be Democratic.”
The above is a special telegram clipped
from the Philadelphia Record of Tuesday
last. We publish it, not for the news it
conveys but for the surprise it will be to
so many, who, like ourselves, have read
the oft repeated interviews: reiterating
the claim that it was because Mr. PAL-
MER had been elected member of the
National committee, that Mr. GUTHRIE
had been recognized as State chairman
and that Mr. VANCE C. McCORMICK was
now willing to attend Decmocratic con-
sultation meetings and look wise even if
he had nothing to suggest, that Pennsyl-
vania gave such promise of Democratic
success in November. To be told now
that it is the “row between FLINN and
PENROSE that is shoving the State into
the Democratic column” and that “the
split in the Republican vote” is going to
elect a whole lot of Democratic Congress-
men, is really a surprise that is worth
being surprised at.
While every one knows that the hope
of the Pennsylvania Democrats was more
was the family home until the Bellefonte
and Snow Shoe railroad was taken over
by the Bald Eagle Valley about twenty-
same management.
Some years prior to that John S. Som-
merville, one of the sons, had gone to
Snow Shoe township and opened up a
coul operatiun on some land they o vned
in that iocality. When the Bellefonte and
Sommerville and family moved to Burn-
side township, to a home adjoining the
Miller Stewart property. That was their
residence until their coal operation was
worked out when they moved to Win-
burne where they had acquired a large
tract of coal land and began operations
there, being as he was at Snow Shoe the
first operator in that region. These
latter operations proved most successful
the Carnwath Coal company, of which
Mr. Sommerville was the president. He
was also one of the organizers and presi-
dent of the Bituminous National bank, of
Winburne, and a director of the Cottage
State hospital at Philipsburg.
Deceased was a life-long member of
forty years an elder in the same. He
was a man of strong character and al-
ways led a pure, unselfish life. He is es-
pecially well remembered by many resi-
dents of Bellefonte and his death deeply
regretted by all.
In 1860 he was united in marriage to
Miss Jane Harris, a daughter of James
D. and Mary Ann Harris, who died on
March 10th last. Their surviving chil-
dren are Bond V., of Crafton; John S., of
Robertsdale; Alan O., of Arcadia; Don-
ald L., of Utica, N. Y.; Bessie, Mary and

years Mrs. Leah Hambright, widow of the

Her maiden name was Leah Otto, and she

She is survived by seven children, thirty-

LIGHT AND POWER COMPANIES MERG-
| ED.—A charter was granted at Harris
| burg last Thursday to the Central Penn.

jven, with a capital stock of $30,000.
: This company is a merger of the Patter.
son Scootac and Clinton county light,

heat and power company; the Susque-
hanna light, heat and power company of
Jersey Shore; the West Branch light,
heat and power company, of Williams-
port, and the Logan Electric company of
Bellefonte. These are the various com.
panies promoted by the projectors of the
much talked of Scootac power company,
and the above merger has been approved
by Governor Tener. The ordinance
granting them a right of franchise in
Bellefonte has never passed borough
council, having been withdrawn by the
promoters after a first reading,
members is hereby called.
| Central Pennsylvania Volunteer Fire-
ation bill enacted last Saturday provides ¥
for the expenditure of almost one mil- |
lion dollars in promoting clerks and car- |
riers in first and second class postoffices |
and assistant postmasters. The word |
“promotion” does not apply to promotion
in position but promotion or increase in |
salary, and according to the provisions of
the act a number of employees in the
Bellefonte postoffice will benefit thereby.
So far blanks have been filled out and
application made for an increase in the
salary of John Bair, a clerk, from $1,000 .
to $1,100 a year and for an increase in |
the salary of mail carrier J. F. Garthoff
from $1,000 to $1,100 a year, both to date
from July 1st. It is also probable that
assistant postmaster William Chambers
and all the rural mail carriers will be |
given an increase, though no notification
of that fact has yet been received. |
AT THE OPERA House—Eugene Wal-
ter's most successful play “The Wolf,”
which will be presented at the opera
house this (Friday) evening, is said to be |
an absorbing, virile play of gripping in-
terest. The story is one of the Canadian
backwoods and is a vivid portrayal of life
in that hard land of snow and hardship
and howling wolves. It revives the old
plot of the man scheming for an innocent
girl's downfall, but it has nothing that is
sordid about it. Virtue triumphs and
true manhood and womanhood have the
audience’s sympathy. “The Wolf’ has
been seen in Bellefonte in past seasons
and the character of the play is well
known here.

men’s association at Houtzdale last week
was the unveiling of a monument over
the grave of Alexander Smith, the first
president of the association, in the ceme-
tery at Brisbin. At the business session
of the association Jersey Shore was se-
lected as the place for the holding of the
convention next year and the following
officers were elected; President, Morris
Meyers, of Jersey Shore; first vice presi-
dent, Robert Sinox, of Patton; second
vice president, Fred Weston, of DuBois;
secretary, W. C. Langsford, of Houtz-
dale; treasurer, Frank Grebe, of Philips-
burg. A. H. Rumberger was chosen del-
egate to the State convention with James
P. Whitehill, of DuBois, as alternate.
CAMBELL—KOCH.—The hotel at Boals-
burg was the scene of a pretty wedding
at noon on Wednesday when Miss Ada
Koch, daughter of landlord and Mrs.
Amos Koch, became the bride of Isaac O.
Campbell, of Fairbrook. Quité a number
of guests were present to witness the
ceremony which was performed by Rev.
J. McK. Reiley, pastor of the State Col-
lege Methodist church. Following a de-
licious wedding breakfast the young
couple were driven to Oak Hall whence
they departed on the train for a wedding
trip east. They will make their home at
Fairbrook where the bridegroom is en-
gaged in farming.
FRIDAY—PENNY.—A wedding of some
interest at State College on Wednesday
was that of Prof. R. S. Friday, an in-
structor in the mechanical
department at the College, and Miss
Florence Penny, for a number of years a
well known Centre county school teach-
er. The ceremony took place at ten
o'clock at the home of the bride's moth-
er and was performed by Rev. J. McK.
Expert corn growers who have made an
inspection of the field pronounce it an
unusual field of corn from the uniform
size of stalks, ears, and the large num-
ber of two and more well developed ears
on each stalk. It will no doubt be a
great gratification to the captain to see
that his special efforts in preparing and
cultivating his field has produced such
satisfactory results.
