MADISONBURG. The health of this community is excel- lent. A doctor is required only semi- occasionally. The primary school is taught by Miss Mary Ziegler, a graduate of the township High school. The roads from here to Coburn are dry and fine, and mail carrier Rauchau uses his auto spinningly. Andrew Ocker is hopefully looking for the Spring days to come again. The rigid winter has kept him indoors. Jacob Deitrick moved to town on Thurs- day, and Charles Bressler will occupy the | farm next season, if it ever comes around. | Byron Hazel lives in the ancient stone house which was built early in the last century. Time does not wither nor age decay it. The church organists here for our Re- formed brethren are Mabel Voneida, Dorothy Roush and Alma Dietrick, at different times. There is quite an interest taken in music here. Newton Fiedler owns the first farm southeast of the burg, which adjoins the old Fiedler farm now occupied by Howard Weaver. It is owned by Ed. Reber and Mrs William Royer, who was a Fiedler by nativity. Normal Hazel, it is reported, lost all his personal property but two horses, by a fire which consumed the barn on the Meyer’s place near Coburn. It is very hard luck, indeed, for Mr. Hazel was just starting to farm and his loss is con- siderable. > Examinations are in progress in our Grammar school, taught by Mise Mabel Voneida, who is a graduate of the West Chester Normal school. It is hoped that a goodly number of pupils will go from here to the township High school next year. The term is near its close. Mrs. Elsie Miller, who keeps the Home hotel, was called to Zion on Tuesday by the intelligence that her sister, Mrs. John Royer, was dangerously ill and probably mortally. In her absence Mrs. B. W. Royer keeps the home open. Mrs. Miller and Mrs. Royer belong to the Grimes family, pioneers in Brush valley. MILLHEIM. All is quiet along Elk creek. S. Ward Gramley, capitalist, is crowd- ing his new brick block heavenward. Mrs. Frank Colyer and daughter Lydia, of Penn street, are visiting at Linden Hall. The K. G. E. Lodge will hold a supper on Friday evening, March 26th, which is their 25th anniversary. Gephart’s restaurant is now located in the Stoner property on Main street. | Meals served at all hours. Mrs. Rebekah Sleifer, of Penn St., was called to Lock Haven last week for the funeral of one of her relatives. If Millheim bread feeds the retired farmers of Rebersburg, Millheim fattens them with beef, and our merchants clothe them, but Rebersburg phones back the finest music and most soulful. The Minstrel club's entertainments last Thursday and Saturday evenings were well attended by appreciative audi- ences, and the boys put up a good min- strel performance, as their patrons will agree. There is a possibility that they will give the show again, either here or in one of the neighboring towns, but no definite arrangements have been made. ALLIES LAND ARMY AT DARDANEL- LES. The Russian Warships Bombard the Turkish Forts In Asia Minor, Sink. ing a Transport. i A force of allied troops was landed on the peninsula of Gallipoli from transports in tne Gulf of Saros, ac: cording to a dispatch from Athens to the London Daily Express. A general attack upon the fortifi- cations of the Dardanelles is to be undertaken immediately on the arrival of further French and British war- ships, now on their way to join the attacking squadron. Reviewing the situation, military experts in London and elsewhere have expressed their bedief that to open the straits the marine forces must be well supported on land. It has been said lately that a strong detachment of Frenca troops was on its way to the Dardanelles. A dispatch to the London Daily Chronicle from Kustendje, Rumania, says: “The Russian fleet is active in the Black Sea. Several Turkish forts in Asia Minor have been bombarded and a transport and laden colliers sunk. “In Constantinople the general im- pression is that the forts and other defensive works of the Dardanelles have been virtually beaten down by the allies and cannot hold out much longer. Everybody who is able to do so is fleeing from the capital. The city is deserted except for the poorer inhabitants and the ‘military guard, the seat of government having been transierred to Asia.” A statement was given out by the official press bureau in London telling of a defeat inflicted on a Turkish force operating against the Egyptian town of Suez. The statement says: “On the 22d inst. at dawn, one of our patrols discovered a party of the enemy near El Kubri post, opposite Suez. Shots were exchanged. “Aeroplanes estimated the number at about 1000, composed of infantry, artillery and a few cavalry. “The guns of El Kubri opened fire and inflicted casualties, whereupon the enemy retired and formed a camp eight miles east of the Suez canal. “Early Tuesday morning a force un: der General Sir George Younghus- band attacked and routed the enemy, who is now in full retreat. “A prisoner says this force came direct from Bir Ey Saba, having taken twelve days on the way, and that General von Traumer and three other { of Millheim, Pa,, to S.
