No living man has a better understand- ing of THEODORE ROOSEVELT than Gen- eral NELSON A. MILES. During the Span- ish war General MILES was field Com- mander-in-Chief of the army. He direct- ed the operations of our forces both in Cuba and Porto Rico. He served as the head of the army during a considerable part of ROOSEVELT'S term in the Presi- dency and was in close touch and in- timate official relations with the Presi- dent during all that time. General MILES has given the public his estimate of THEODORE ROOSEVELT in a sons, Joseph, of Lewistown, and William, days. He was born at Alexandria and : the unsightly and unsanitary condition of of Bellefonte.

OUTLOOK FOR GRANGE ENCAMPMENT Goobp.—The indications are that the 39th annual encampment and Grange fair will be the largest and most instructive ever held at Grange park, Centre Hall. The demand for tents much exceeds that of last year, as does all that for exhibition privileges. The State Forestry Department will make a large display of its work, having engaged an entire wing of the large ex- hibition pavilion. The Chestnut Tree Blight Commission will have a separate exhibit and so will the Zoological Division, with lectures and orchard demonstrations. The dynamite farming people will make a large display of their work. Men prominent in the order and in the public service will be among the speakers. The T. and L. Railroad assocation has granted excursion rates over all its roads in Pennsylvania, including Baltimore, Maryland, Elmira, New York. Tickets to be sold to the public without card orders. Special trains will be run to Centre Hall by the Lewisburg and Tyrone rail- road on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thurs- day, September 17, 18, and 19th, between Bellefonte and Coburn. The soldiers reunion will be held at Grange Park on Tuesday, September 17.

TRAVELED THREE THOUSAND MILES FOR BRIDE, AND THEN!—If you were 2a man what would you think and how would you feel if you traveled from the State of Washington to Centre coun- | ty to find a bride ard instead found her married? Ordinarily it might be heart- breaking, but in the case at issue the man probably considered himself well out of the job. About six years ago a young man worked in the woods as a lumberman in the forests of Elk county. In one of the nearby towns lived a comely lass and the two met, became friends and sweethearts. rea ASEE SC mm 3 1 | FAIL TO ELECT A GOVERNOR ‘Full Returns in Vermont Do Not Change Result. ———— LEGISLATURE MUST CHOOSE Then entered the cruel contractor, who | transferred his scene of operations to the | State of Washington. Young Lothario went along after passionate letters burdened the mails between Elk county and the State of Washington, but as time passed they became fewer and fewer and finally | stopped entirely. Five years passed by and then one day | the sturdy young lumberman received a letter from his former sweetheart, telling him that she was then employed in a large department store at State College and that she still loved him as she did in days gone by. The loving epistle rekind- led the flame in the young man's bosom and letters again began to flow more freely. Finally presents of jewelry began to flow east from the State of Washing: ton and later along came a proposal of | marriage and a little “yes” went west- ward. Next came a postoffice money order for twenty-five dollars to help the | little department store worker buy her wedding trousseau, and this was accom- panied with the advice that the lumber- man himself would come east shortly to claim his bride.

There stood his old sweetheart, and yet it was not she. The petite maid- en of five years ago was no longer petite, neither was she maiden, for lo! she hath been married these three years or more. Explanations were demanded by the man from the west, and especially explana- tions about his presents and his money, with a demand for the return of the twenty-five. The money could not be produced forthwith and nine o'clock in. the evening, and the hotel at State Col- | lege, were named as the time and place | to walk up and deliver.

So endeth the | second part and the curtain drops upon | the finale. ss A v — EIGHT PRISONERS NOW AT NEW PENI- | TENTIARY. — The first consignment of prisoners for the new penitentiary passed through Bellefonte on Tuesday afternoon in charge of three stalwart guards. There were eight of them and they all wore black suits with sack coats. They were not handcuffed and looked like an ordi- nary gang of laborers on a trip to a new job. Six of the men were Americans, one a colored man and the other a for- eigner. Five of the crowd are cooks and they will get the kitchen in shape to take care of a gang of thirty more prisoners who will be brought here in the near fu- ture. The other three prisoners are stablemen, and they will have charge of the six blooded horses now in the stables on the prison farms. On Monday notices were posted on all the buildings of “no admittance unless on business,” while caution notices are ber. The latter date will be the time for at that time. They are George Hudah, a leaving a heartbroken | maiden behind. For some time there- : Control of the Legislature insures the Seating of the Entire Republican State Ticket. Full returns from Tuesday's election ! in Vermont fal to change the result . or materially alter the standing of the three leading candidates for gov- | ernor. With the legislature Republican by a large majority on a joint ballot, the election of Allen M. Fletcher, Repub- lican, and the rest of his ticket is a foregone conclusion. With the settlement of protracted struggles to elect representatives and the counting of the state vote in sev- eral of the smaller towns, the vote of the five candidates for governor stands: Fleteher, Republican, 26,259. Howe, Democrat, 20,350. Metzger, Progressive, 15,800. Smith, Prohibition, 1443. Suitor, Socialist, 1181. The chief feature, in view of the | thorough manner in which the state | was covered by rallies in practically | every town, is the fact that the total | vote was not abnormal. It totals less | than 65,000. The Progressives are elated at the showing made by their ticket and the Democrats assert that it is proved the third party did not detract from their strength. It is the regular Republican vote that has suffered, and the Demo- crats point with pride to the ineffect- ual attempt made to get their voters by the Bull Moose orators. The Democrats elected their ticket in Caledonia county, the home of Har- lan B. Howe, the party's nominee for governor, and in the little county of Grand Isle the Republican senator is reported to have won out by a single vote. The Democrats increased their vote of two years ago by about 3000 ‘and by nearly 5000 over that cast for their nominee in the presidential year | four years ago. | The Free Press of Burlington, a leading Republican paper, says the les- son for the Republican party in Ver- mont from the election is that “the paramount issue in Vermont today is tax reform in the interests of the peo- ple, and if the Republican party fails again to meet the demands of the peo- ple in this particular it will never have another chance to do so in all human probability.” It is the opinion of the politicians that Vermont cannot longer be held as the barometer of the presidential I trend of the nation in the November elections. The senate will lack but a few votes of being solidly Republican, and that party will have a working majority in the house. The Progressives have elected about | fifty representatives and the Demo- ; crats a number slightly in excess. This will leave 140 for the Republicans out of the total membership of 246. WALKER—ROBB.—W. Harrison Walker Esq., and Miss Charlotte Robb were qui- etly married at ten o'clock last Friday morning, at the Lutheran parsonage in Roaring Springs, by the pastor, Rev. Charles E. Keller, an old friend of both the bride and bridegroom. The announce- ment of their marriage was quite a sur- prise to their many friends in Bellefonte. The bride is a daughter of Mrs. Henry Robb, of this place, and for several years past has been Mr. Walker's efficient sten- ographer. Mr. Walker is one of the best known among Bellefonte’s younger attorneys and enjoys a wide clientage. When they left Bellefonte last Thurs. day afternoon in Mr. Walker's automo- bileno one suspected aught than that they were going out for a drive. How- ever, they went to Altoona where Mrs. Walker has relatives and where the night was spent. Friday morning they drove to Roaring Springs, were united in marriage, then took a short wedding trip by motor to Bedford Springs and Johns- town, returning home on Monday even- ing. They have both been quite busy since receiving the congratulations of their friends. For the present . they will reside at the Bush house. nm cen s,Q a — ~Finest Job Work at this office.
