SERRA Teg Ne pe TS a of Mr. Shope. Borough Council Proceedings. Every member was present at the regular meeting of borough council on Monday evening with the exception Burgess Blanchard called the at- tention of council to the fact that nothing had been done toward abating the nuisance in the rear of the Bush Arcade. After considerable discussion the matter was referred to the Sani- tary committee with instructions to give the property owners twelve hours notice to abate the nuisance, and failing to do so to notify the high con- stable to proceed at once and remove the rubbish complained of. The Street committee reported the treasurer’s receipt for $79.20 for dustaline on Allegheny street. Pro- gress is being made on the Lamb street sewer and it will probably be completed this week. Mr. Harris call- ed attention to the.dangerous condi- tion of thebridge over Logan’s branch, on south Water street. One- half of it has been closed in order to get the timbers to repair the other half, and he recommended repairing the bridge with a concrete foundation and creosote blocks. The matter was referred to the committee, borough solicitor and borough engineer to get an estimate of the cost and report at next meeting. Mr. Harris also re- ported that an increase had been made in the pay of the street commissioner to $2.00 a day; laborers, $1.75, and sweepers $1.45 and $1.35. Chairman Seibert, of the Water committee, reported the water dupli- cate for the ensuing year as totalling $8,508, or $248.95 more than last year. Dr. Brockerhoff made a motion that the duplicate be turned over to the State-Centre Electric company for collection upon the execution by them of a bond of $5,000 and the execution and delivery of the water pumping contract. The motion was seconded by Mr. Lyon and passed. Mr. Seibert also reported the receipt of $5.00 from the Hagenbeck and Wallace show for water; $18.26 from William Doll for meter at ice plant and $1.75 from Charles Garbrick, of Bush’s Addition, for tapping pipe. The Fire and Police committee pre-- sented the burgess’ check for $50.00 | for fines and licenses collected. | The Finance committee presented | the treasurer’s report showing a bal- | ance on hand of $121.63. The com- | mittee also requested the renewal of | a note for $1,100 for one year from | June 2nd; the increase of an $1,800 note to $2,000 and renewal for one year from June 2nd, and the renewal of a $500 note for six months from June 2nd, all of which were author- ized. Mr. Harris called attention of coun- cil to the fact that the burgess ought to appoint the tree commission au- thorized by a recent ordinance, as many shade trees around the town are badly interfering with the street lights. Mr. Harris also brought up the question of oil for the streets and stated that state highway superin- tendent W. D. Meyer recommended the use of the U. G. IL. street oil which can be secured for about eight cents a . gallon, whereas dustaline now costs _twelve cents or over. But to put on the U. G. L.oil it is’ necessary; to use crushed stone or pebbles as a binder, and he made a motion that the com- mittee be empowered to purchase the stone at an approximate cost of $100 a car load. The motion was later amended to include the words “not to exceed three car loads,” and was car- ried without a dissenting vote. The street department will receive 5,000 gallons of the U. G. I. oil on Monday and residents along any street who desire to have it oiled, should make application at once to Hard P. Harris, chairman of the committee. The oil must be paid for by the residents but the Street de- partment will sweep the street, put the oil on and cover it with a light binder of crushed stone to make it lasting. Attention of council was also called to the dangerous condition of the fence along north Water street from Rhoads’ corner to the borough line and the borough solicitor was in- structed to notify the owners to build a new fence or guard rail. On motion Charles Koontz was ex- onerated of his water tax for the year 1916 and the secretary was instructed to notify his landlord, Mr. A. J. Cook, to that effect. Mr. Seibert called attention of council to the fact that there ought to be a light at McQuistion’s shop on Thomas street, as it is is very dark there and not safe for women to travel alone. After considerable dis- cussion council voted to have a light placed there, Dr. Brockerhoff dissent- ing. Bills to the amount of $1,436.43 were approved and council adjourned. Christian Endeavor Convention. The Centre county Christian En- deavor Union will hold its twenty- third annual convention at Snyder- town, June 21, 1916, in the Lutheran church. It is earnestly hoped that this will be the best conventicn the Centre county Union has ever held. Socie- ties in the county have been asked to | G send as many delegates as they can and have not been limited to any number. This should mean a good representation of delegates. A great deal of time was spent in preparing the program for the con- vention. It was the desire of those who had this matter in charge to se- cure the very best talent in the cen- tral part of the State, among which are Dr. R. G. Bannen, Williamsport; Rev. Samuel Martin, State College; Rev. F. H. Foss, Centre Hall, and Rev. E. Fulcomer, Bellefonte, and a num- ber of others prominent in Christian Endeavor work. The public is cordially invited to at- tend the three sessions, forenoon, afternoon and evening, and it is hop- ed that as many as can possibly do so will join in making this the greatest convention ever held. Prof. G. H. RESIDES, President. ——The second annual reunion of the Campbell family was held yester- day at the bungalow of John Bailey Campbell, on his farm near Tyrone. About forty of the clan were pres- ent. Lord Kitchener and : Staff Drowned. Went Down in North Sea When the Cruiser Hampshire was Torpe- doed or Struck a Mine. Following close upon the disastrous naval fight in the North Sea, last Wednesday England received another crushing blow on Monday night when the cruiser Hampshire went down off the Scottish coast with Lord Kitche- ner and his staff aboard and the ship’s entire complement of 655 perished. The official statement given out is as follows: “The admiralty reports with the deepest regret that the British cruiser Hampshire, with Lord Kitchener and staff aboard,was sunk last night about 8 o’clock off the Orkney Islands, by either a mine or a torpedo. Four boats were seen to leave the ship by observers on the shore. Although heavy seas were running, patrol boats and destroyers hastened to the scene. At the same time another party was sent along the shore to search for bodies. Only a capsized boat was found up to the time of the issue of this bulletin. The whole shore was searched, but it is greatly feared that there is little hope of there being any survivors. No report has yet been received from the parties on shore. Lord Kitchener was proceeding to Russia.” Lord Kitchener, next Lord Roberts, was the idol of the British people. News of the disaster to the Hampshire and the resultant death of Lord Kitchener and his staff is the most staggering blow sustained by England since the beginning of the war. London is bowed in mute grief and the whole empire is prostrated. The report of the loss of the Hamp- shire and the death of Kitchener and his staff was made to the Admiralty by Admiral Sir John Jellicoe, com- mander of the British grand fleet. The Hampshire was a ship of 10,850 tons and had been in commission for fif- teen years. Lord Kitchener, to the late who has loomed big in all the reports of the war op- erations of the allies, was 66 years old, having been born at Bally Long- ford, in County Kerry, Ireland, June 24, 1850, He played a leading role in foremost strategist in British military circles. He had the close confidence of the King, and into his hands were entrusted the most delicate missions of a military character. Lord Kitchener was made Secretary of State for war on August 5, 1914, the day after Great Britain had de- clared war on Germany. It is said that he had taken passage with his staff on the Hampshire to go to Pet- rograd on a special mission relating to the Russian offensive on the east front, as an offset to the pressure of the Teutons against the Italians and against the French at Verdun. As soon as the first shock of the news had passed, a meeting of the British war council was called. In at- tendance were Sir William Robertson, chief of the Imperial staff, whom Earl Kitchener left in charge of the war office; Sir. Edward. Gray, .. secretary for foreign affairs; Reginald’ McKen- na, chancellor:of the exchequer and David Lloyd-George, minister of mu- nitions. { It was reported, following the meeting, that: General Sir Robertson probably © would succeed Earl Kitchener as head of the war of- fice, although Premier Asquith is temporarily in charge. Although the military effect of the death of the war secretary, known as England’s greatest military organiz- er, was not lost sight of, it was gener- ally believed that because of the very efficiency with which Lord Kitchener has perfected his organization, the work which he has carried on with such great success will continue un- interrupted. While the dominant spirit of the military idol will be lost and the ar- my thus deprived of the personal touch of a great commander, the ma- chine that England and her allies have been slowly perfecting in the opinion of observers, will not be strip- ped of its efficiency because of the loss of its builder and driver.

From the Anaconda Standard. The central powers do not give the entente allies a chance to get their long- advertised movement under way. It was to have been started this spring all along the line, but the central powers have anticipated them at all points. The ermans anticipated a forward move- ment on the western front by launching the tremendous offensive against Verdun and the fighting there has been so exten- sive and so fierce that the allies have not been able to attend to anything ex- cept the defense of that place. The Austrians did not calmly wait for the Italians to make a forward movement, but have started an offensive of their own against the Italians and at some ints have reached Italian territory. ow the Bulgarians are reported to have renewed the conflict in the Balkan re- gion without waiting for the allies to attack. Indications point to some fierce fighting soon in that section. Only in Asia are the entente allies on the offen- sive. The Russians still apparently have the Turks moving.

Chihuahua City, Mexico, June 7.— An anti-American riot, incited by a mass meeting to protest against the continued presence of American troops in Mexican territory, was put down here tonight by the military, after a demonstration had been made against the American consulate and stones hurled at the foreign club, in the belief that it was an American in- stitution. The Blood and the Brain. Among the many ihpostent physiological facts that should be as well known by people generally as they are by physicians, is the dependenee o the brain for its proper action on the vitality of the blood. If this is impaired, the blood affords | an imperfect stimulus to the brain, and, as a nec- | essary consequence, languor and inactivity of | the entire nervous system follows, and a ten- |! dency to headache or faintness makes its appear- | ance. | It is probable that no other medicine ever ! produced has done more in the way of revitaliz- ing the blood, making it pure and 1ich, than Hood’s Sarsaparilla, which should certainly be given a trial where there is any reason to believe that the blood is defective in quality or deficient in quantity.
