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.

Blocking the Allies.
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.

Brandies Takes Oath of Office.
Washington, June 5.—Louis D. Bran-
dies, the first Jew to sit upon the,
United States Supreme court bench, !
took oath of office at noon today. A |
distinguished assemblage of public
men, including members of both!
houses of Congress, witnessed the’
administration of the oath.
The ceremony took place immedi- |
ately after the justices, in full robes, |
filed into the court chamber to hand |
down the regular Monday decisions. |
47,440; James T.
W. E. Ritter, 21,-
32,593; Jesse H.

tution was administered by Chief Jus-
tice White in the robing room, in the |
presence of all the members of the |
court...On filing, into. the court cham-
ber Brandies’ readiness to take the
oath of the court was announced by
the Chief Justice. His commission was
read by Clerk James D. Maher, after
which Justice White administered the !
oath. Brandies’ appointment was held
up almost four months while the Sen- |
ate probed his character and wrang-
led over his confirmation.
Riot at Chihuahua.
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.
