——There are two cases of scarletina
and one case of scarlet rash in Bellefonte !
at this writing. The former are Rose!
Derstine, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John
Derstine, in the old stone jail back of
Howard street, and Fred Saylor, son of
Mr. and Mrs. Peter Saylor, of Penn street. !
The scarlet rash case is a Zimmerman
child on east Bishop street. All the
homes are under quarantine and as a
preventive against the spread of the dis-
ease thebrick school house was thorough-
ly fumigated on Tuesday.
——Next Thursday, October 31st, will
be Hallow-e’en and many of the surround:
ing towns are arranging to have a demon-
stration of some kind that evening. So
far no movement to this effect has been
made in Bellefonte, though there will
likely be the usual number of Hallowe'en
parties, etc. Of course the small boys
—and girls, too for that matter—will
likely be in evidence on the streets, but
they should confine themselves to inno-
cent and harmless sport and not resort
to the destruction of property.

—The large bank barn on the Joseph

was totally destroyed by fire on Wednes-
day morning. In addition to the barn
and ovtbuildings 500 bushels of wheat,
300 bushels of oats, 25 tons of hay, a
calf, and many farming implements were
destroyed. The fire started under the
mow hole in the rear of the entry and
when(discoverd had gained such head-

stock was gotten out. The loss is placed
at three thousand dollars with a small in-

SmiTH.—~Through the kindness of Mr,
W. P. Humes we have the intelligence of
the death of General Frank G. Smith, of
Washington, D. C., which occurred at his
home on the 7th inst. after a very brief
illness. General Smith was a son of Dr.
F. R. Smith, who practiced medicine
along in the fifties, in this place and re-
sided, while here, in the house now occu-
pied by Mr. Murray Andrews, opposite
the residence of Mr. Humes, and will
doubtless be remembered by some of our |
older citizens. Dr. Smith moved to St.
Paul, Minnesota, before the breaking out
of the war, and his son, General Smith,
entered the army from Ohio. He served
for several years as private secretary to
General George B. McClellan, and after-
wards gained distinction for bravery on
the battlefield. After the war he joined
the regular army and served in several
Indian campaigns, and also in the Span-
ish~American war, and in 1903 was bre-
vetted Brigadier General. He wasknown
as an exceedingly good soldier, and one
of the most popular army officers in the
service. His remains were laid to rest
in Arlington cemetery.

——The student body at State College
had a big bonfire and snake dance on
Monday evening in celebration of the
football victory over Cornell. All the
boxes, barrels, etc., that could be begged
or bought in State College were hauled
to the campus west of the armory where
, the bonfire was held. The hauling of
| the wagons was done by the Freshmen
while the Sophs managed the job. At
the scene of the bonfire a huge derrick
| was constructed by the erection of three
! telephone poles and the boxes were haul-
| ed up by rope and tackle until the pile
was as high as a house. Then three bar-
rels of gasoline purchased by the stu.
songs and wound up with a snake dance.
for Congress subject to the rules of the
Republican party. He won the Republi-
can nomination largely by the use of
money, if we are to believe Mr. DeHaas
who contended for this nomination with
him. On the night of August 28th, 1912
in the presence of twenty-nine men in a
law office at Clearfield, he, in person, vol-
untarily surrendered and abandoned the
maintenance of the principles of the par-
ty that had nominated him and without
committing himself to Mr. Roosevelt and
the principles he represents, Mr. Patton
promised that if he received the Bull
Moose nomination he would be strictly
neutral as between Mr. Taft and Mr.
Roosevelt. He stands today upon his
own weak cenfession of political faith an
avowed neutral. Nearly one-half of the
twenty-nine present failed to understand
his position for twelve of them voted
against his endorsement by the Bull
Moose party. We have also met a great
many Republicans and Bull Moosers who,
notwithstanding the Courier, do not un-
derstand his position. There can be no
neutrality as between the conflicting
principles represented by two great men
who are engaged in a bitter national
struggle for the death of an old party or
the life of a brand new one. Mr. Taft
says that the Payne-Aldrich Tariff bill is
one of the best tariff bills that was ever
written and he has principle enough to
sustain his mistaken convictions, for he
vetoed every attempt made in 1910 and
1912 to lower or revise it, notwithstand-
ing the Republican party in its national
platform of 1910 advocated its revision
downward. Mr. Roosevelt and his chief
organ, the North American, boldly state
that this tariff bill is iniquitous, a sham,
delusion and a snare. Now how can Mr.
Patton be a neutral even in this instance?
In the last Congress he voted with the
trusts and favor seeking corporations and
against the people every time an effort
was made to revise the tariff. So far as
the Democrats are concerned we will ad-
mit that they thoroughly understand Mr.
Patton's position and their vote will indi-
cate that it is nota mistaken understand-
ing when it is heard from in November.
As the days go gliding by, evidences. of
Mr. Patton's straddling propensities are
startlingly increasing. The latest is that
he has made another straddle. In 1910,
while a candidate for Congress, he toured
Clearfield and McKean counties with
John K. Tener, Republican candidate for
Governor. In DuBois he occupied the
speaker’s stand at the Commercial hotel
and applauded the utterances of Mr.
Tener.
We learn now that he is a Keystoner
and has procured in some way the Key-
stone nomination for Congress. Thwarted
in his attempt to get on the Prohibition
ticket, his weakness for landing upon as
many tickets as possible, regardless of
principle, asserted itself so strongly that
he has landed upon another.
For Mr. Tener in 1910, he now stands
on the ticket with Mr. Berry whom he
was against in 1910. Berry and Cresswell,
both of whom toured McKean and
Cameron counties this fall, highly com-
mended the candidacy of James A. Glea-
son to the voters of this district. Do not
be fooled by this bogus Keystone candi-
date for Congress from Curwensville.
