Eight deaths have so far been the toll of the typhoid fever epidemic in the neighborhood of Osceola Mills, with one hundred and four cases, all told. Very few new cases have been reported this week and it is believed that a spread of the infection has been checked. One of the recent deaths was that of Adaline Williams, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence Williams. Her death was unusually sad because the day she died Mr. and Mrs. Williams had buried their nine- teen year old son, Harvey, who was also a victim of the disease. Miss Williams was a graduate of the Osce- ola High school and at the time she was taken ill was in the employ of the Beulah Coal company, at Ramey.

Notwithstanding the strike situation the big refineries in Phila-! increasing their output | delphia are daily and there is every indication that ere long they will be operating to full capacity and the shortage in the sugar market thus be relieved. ——The friends of Miss Julia C. Gray, State College, will be interested to learn that she is now writing for Advanced Thought, published in Chicago. The editor, William Walker Atkinson, is of world-wide fame and it is, indeed, an honor to be among the contributors to this Magazine.

SEDO OREN —A big delegation of residents of lower Bald Eagle valley went to Harris§urg on Wednesday of last week to see Frank M. Black, the State Highway Commissioner, regarding the improvement of the state high- way route No. 219 between Beech Creek and Milesburg, and that gen- tleman assured the delegation that this route will be one of the first to be taken care of in the spring.

Gil- liam store, which has been stored in the Bush Arcade the past eleven months, was sold at sheriff’s sale last Saturday morning to Morris Luman, of Pittsburgh, for $1035. The stock was first offered in sections and then offered as a whole, and the bid for the latter being the largest it was ac- cepted. Two or more gentlemen were here from Philadelphia who wanted the stock and the bidding between them and Mr. Luman was quite spirited. — Three score or more Bellefonte women attended the preparedness meeting held in the court house on Wednesday afternoon. Miss Nan Hoy presided and the principal speaker was Mrs. Howard Cheyney, of Wil- liamsport, vice president of the state organization on preparedness. Mrs. Cheyney is a daughter of the late Judge Samuel Linn, of this place, and her talk on Wednesday afternoon was along the general line of preparedness and the necessity of being properly organized to meet any emergency. She also told of the base hospital be- ing established on the Delaware river to be used as a training school. — eee — The house of Adam Garbrick, at Pleasant View, up Buffalo Run, was burned to the ground on Sunday morning. The house was occupied by Mr. and Mrs. William Evey and family and they barely escaped with their lives, losing everything they had, even to most of their clothing. The Eveys had no insurance on any- thing so that their loss is total. Mr. Garbrick carried a small insurance on the house. The Evey family were taken in by neighbors and made as comfortable as possible, temporarily, but their condition is such that they are deserving of the greatest sym- pathy. Mr. Evey has been in poor health for several years and Mrs. Evey has been supporting the family by conducting a small store at Pleas- ant View. And now, under present conditions, she is not able to give her attention to that. In view of this fact any person willing to contribute any- thing for the relief of the family kindly notify this office and it will be promptly looked after.

R. ‘byterian church, in the presence of a ienced.” As a matter of fact this: February has been very cold but look- ! ing over the files of the “Watchman” | last evening we discovered that nearly coldest weather of the winter. Both in 1906 and 1908 it was colder than it has been thus far in 1917 as On Tuesday morning February 6, 1906, thermometers registered 16 degrees below zero in Belle- fonte and we had the first real snow of that winter the next day. On Sunday morning February 10th, 1908, thermometers in Belle- fonte registered from 16 to 23 de- grees below zero. At Clarence it was 29 degrees below, at State College 18 and Centre Hall 10. At that time the water main lead- ing into F. E. Naginey’s house on High street was frozen solid not- withstanding the fact that it was | fifty-four inches under the | ground. Twelve years ago last Saturday postmaster Pat Gherrity met with an accident, while operating the flooring machine at Crider’s mill, that for several days looked like it might result in the amputation of his arm at the elbow. Forty-nine years ago on the 10th of February W. L. Malin opened the first Western Union telegraph office established in Bellefonte. soe Williams—Gardner.—The home of Mr. and Mrs. William G. Gardner, at Rock Springs, was the scene of a pret- ty wedding at high noon yesterday when their daughter, Miss Ada Gard- ner, became the bride of Claude Wil- liams, a son of Mr. and Mrs. J. H.
