His brother William is working for the same company. fonte. the University of California. Since that time he has accepted the offer, which car- ries with it a $2,000 increase in salary over what he is receiving at State Col. lege. Just when he will leave State to go to California is as yet uncertain and will depend entirely on the demands of the California institution and when he can successfully close his work here. Prof. VanNorman is a graduate of Per- due University, at Lafayette, Ind., and after a year or so spent at that institu- tion came to State College seven years ago and took charge of the dairy depart- ment. His work there has been so emi- nently successful that he is recognized as an authority ail over the United States, and thie good he has done for the dairy interest throughout Pennsylvania cannot be computed in dollars andcents. Itisa most regrettable fact that he is allowed to leave State College and the State, but it is only States like California and a few others through the west which contribute almost an unlimited amount of money to their Universities, that can command and hold the services of such men as Dr. Hunt and Prof. VanNorman. The latter will go to California as vice director of the University, but his work will be mostly in the dairy department which is located at Davis, near Sacra- mento, making the latter city his home. While his friends at State and elsewhere will regret his departure they all wish him success in his new station. ——William, John and LeRoy Bayletts, three Bellefonte boys who spent the past two years in the reform school at Glen Mills, were discharged last week and are now with their mother on Logan street.

Oliver C. Witmer, James Witmer and W. G. Runkle, are the appointed executors. ——Last week's Snow Shoe Times con- tained an obituary notice of O. H. Osman, who was reported to have died in Colum- hus, Ohio, in the fore part of the week. On Sunday a letter was received in Belle- fonte from Mr. Osman, himself, who wrote that he was still in the land of the living. The report of his death, it is al- leged, was given out by his wife, who is living in Snow Shoe. Mr. Osman, who was born and raised at Lemont, is very much incensed over the affair and threat- ens prosecution if he can learn definitely who started the story.
