John Hamilton celebrated his seventy-fourth birthday anniversary on Monday at his beautiful home at State College by entertaining a doz- en of his old soldier friends. Always a true blue American Mr. Hamilton showed his patriotism on this occa- sion by having the stars and stripes much in evidence both outside and in- side his house. Of course one of the features was the big dinner, which was served at one o’clock and every one of the guests did ample justice to it. At the conclusion of the sumptu- ous repast all retired to the spacious library to inspect Mr. Hamilton’s col- lection of old war relics, handed down from the revolutionary war through generation and generation of the Hamilton and McDowell families. Among them was the pay roll of his grand-father, when he was captain of a company in the war for independ- ence. He also has a certificate issued by the Secretary of the Common- wealth on April 5th, 1861, to Capt. J. J. Patterson, of the Juniata caval- ry, notifying him that Gov. Andrew G. Curtin had accepted his offer of enlistment as the First Pennsylvania cavalry, the first troop offered to de- fend the flag. Comrade Hamilton served as sergeant major of the troop through the war and was in the thick- est of the fight under General Gregg at Gettysburg when he defeated Gen. Jeb Stewart, of the confederate army. Comrade Hamilton was a native of Juniata county, coming to State Col- lege in 1869 and enrolling as an ag- ricultural student. He graduated three years later. He accepted a pe- sition at the college and some time later was made purchasing agent. For a number of years he served as treasurer of the college. In 1902 he was appointed an assistant secretary of agriculture at Washington and put in charge of the farmers’ institutes division. Twelve years later he re- tired and has since been living on his farm at State College. Notwith- standing the fact that he is seventy- four years old he is still a busy man. sale last He superintends his farm, is a mem- ber of the town council of State Col- lege and a ruling elder in the Pres- byterian church. The old soldiers who were guests of Mr. Hamilton on Monday were as follows: John I. Williams, Co. D, 46 Pa. Vols. Lemuel H. Osman, Co. C, 148 Pa. Vols. M. M. Garner, Co. G, 153 Ills. Regt. Geo. C. Williams, Co. C. 61 Pa. Vols. D. W. Miller, Co. G, 148 Pa. Vols. Ira Lysle, Co. K, 13 Pa. Cav. T. A. Snyder, Co. D, 1st Pa. Cav. Geo. Martz, Co. H, 56 Pa. Vols. H. A. Sauers, Co. C, 148 Pa. Vols. J.

Before separating photographer Smith, of State College, took a group picture of the twelve gentlemen, the oldest of whom was 76 years and the youngest 68, or an average of 73 years. AARONSBURG. Squire Stover and wife are enter- taining Mr. Stover’s sister, Mrs. Homan, of State College, who came down to attend the funeral of Samuel -Beaver. On Sunday, February 18th, Rev. Brown preached his last sermon for this conference year, but it is expect- ed he will be returned to this cir- ya to fill out his four years pastorate ere. Grover Beaver and Horace Stover, of Youngstown, Ohio, were called home by the death of their grand- father. Mrs. Eva Corman, who spent most of the winter with her sister, Mrs. Zerby, in Youngstown, Ohio, also came home on Tuesday. Samuel Beaver, who departed this life Saturday afternoon, February 17th, was born February 13th, 1840, hence was 77 years old a few days prior to his death. On November 10th, 1862, he was united in marriage to Mary Geary, who survives with two children, namely: Mrs. George E. Stover and J. W. Beaver, both residing in Aaronsburg. He also leaves nine grand-children and three great-grand children. One sister only survives, Mrs. McDowell, who made her home with the family. Mr. Beaver and wife were both admitted into full communion with the Lutheran church in Aaronsburg April 3rd, 1886, by the pastor, Rev. Dlitzler. Mr. Beaver was a faithful member of the said church and a devoted christian, which after all is the great thing in life to count when the reaper death calls us. Mr. Beaver was janitor for some thirty years of the Lutheran church, ever faithful and willing to do the best at all times. The funeral services were held in the said church on Wednesday morn- ing. They were in charge of his pas- tor, Rev. M. D. Geesey, who so faith- fully visited and ministered unto him in his years of suffering. “Rest to his ashes, Peace to his Soul.” The family wish to return thanks to neigh- bors and friends who rendered them kindness in their hour of trial. © LEMONT.

The Boal Machine Gun troop drill- ed Sunday and drew quite a large crowd of spectators. Saturday and Sunday were beau- tiful days and they brought relief from the cold that we have been hav- ing.

Two young men from Millheim were seen on our streets Sunday even- ing, Wonder what the attraction is.

David Rimmey has been confined to his house the past week with symp- toms of pneumonia, but is convales- cing nicely now. A dance was held atthe hotel last Friday evening, about fifty young people being present. Everybody re- ports having had a good time. The box social which was held in the Pleasant Gap grammar school last Saturday evening was well patro- nized. All the boxes sold for good prices, netting the school about six- teen dollars. Postmaster William Durkee has sent in his resignation as postmaster at Pleasant Gap, as he claims that there is not sufficient recompense to justify his continuance in that office. It is said that since the greater part of the foreign laborers left White- rock the revenue is greatly reduced, and hence the applications are few and far between. I was just thinking over the many changes that take place from time to time, as we move over and on the journey of life. As an illustration, I have only to refer to the radical changes in our public schools at the Gap. For a number of years back our schools here, four in number, were always taught by home talent, we were always favored with an over production of teachers who resided in our immediate vicinity. It is differ- ent now, but one teacher, Miss Eme- line Noll, is at present engaged as a teacher in our school who resides here, the other schools are being presided over by talent secured else- where, strangers to our community as it were. I do not wish to reflect that teachers secured from elsewhere are not as proficient as our own, but it seem queer to the casual observ- er. There is a reason and a very plausible one for this transformation. Nearly all of our old teachers have gone into another state, the state of matrimony. Since the State of Penn- sylvania forbids the teaching of pub- lic schools by married women, the girls who formerly held the sway as teachers are in consequence eliminat- ed, since there is no law in our State to prevent these former pedagogues from teaching their own off-spring. Several of the number are busily en- gaged at this moment in teaching their ewn. Among the number who have taken this important step are Miss Pearl Waite, Miss Marian Rid- dle, Miss Madalene Noll, Miss Esther Noll, Miss Lottie Harrison. Now then, I want to say right here that the popular old theory that as soon as a girl engages in school teaching she is destined to become an old maid. The evidence here clearly refutes that old threadbare contention. Among the husbands of these ex-teachers are professional, business men and prac- tical mechanics, apparently all have secured well-to-do, honest, intelligent and industrious life partners, whose homes are free from shadows and the harsh voice of discord is never heard in the household. And by the exercise of common-sense, forbearance and charity towards each other they all live harmoniously and comfortably as well. And the best of all is they have the best wishes of our entire communtity for the progress and ad- vancement coupled with all their un- dertaking. CENTRE HALL NEWS. Dr. Smith, of Hazleton, spent a few days with friends in this place. Mr. West, a student at State Col- lege, spent Sunday with his mother. Prof. P. H. Meyer, who has not been well forthe past week, is improving slowly. Miss Emma Smith is visiting at the home of her mother, Mrs. Mary Smith, of Bellefonte. The body of Mrs. Milliam Bitting, of Williamsport, was brought to Cen- tre Hall for burial Friday. Mr. and Mrs. O. Heckman and chil- dren spent Sunday at the latter’s par- ents, Mr. and Mrs. Michael Rossman, of Tusseyville. Mrs. William Reiber, of Johnstown, attended the funeral of her brother, Thomas Bartges, who was buried Monday morning. Robert Meyer, who is working for the P. R. R. Co. at Altoona, spent a few days at the home of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. P. H. Meyer. Medical. That Dull Aching Don’t worry and complain about a bad back. Get rid of it! For weak kidneys, lame and achy backs, your neighbors recommend Doan’s Kidney Pills. Read this statement: Mrs. C. Young, Potter St., Belle- fonte, says: “For more than a year I suffered from a dull ache in the small of my back. It was sore and tender and if I bent over, I could hardly get up again. I never felt able to do any housework. I had a languid feeling all the time and in the morning I didn’t feel like getting dressed. I was troubled a lot by diz- zy spells and the kidney secretions were unnatural. Doan’s Kidney Pills had helped so many people around here that I procured some at Green's Pharmacy Co. The first box cured me. It has been three years now since I have had any trouble from my back or kidneys. Price 50c, at all dealers. Don’t simply ask for a kidney remedy—get Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same that Mrs. Young had. Foster-Milburn Train Steals Papooses. Ten squaws, papooses upon backs, were on their way to Great Falls, Mont., recently from the nearby In- dian reservation with beadwork, moccasins and other products of-sev- eral weeks’ labor when they found an empty passenger coach on a sid- ing. Now, an infant strapped to the back is no light burden, and with one accord the squaws deposited their progeny on the seats of the coach to remain there until they had disposed of their wares, and then exchanged the wampum received, for food. An engine came along, hooked onto the coach and started with it for Lew- iston. There was weeping and wailing and consternation when the squaws re- turned to where the coach had been. They besieged the office of Division Superintendent C. L. Whiting and conveyed to him the value of ten cute little papooses. But if the prob- lem seemed great to them, it was not to Whiting. Thirty or forty miles down. the line the coach was stopped, hooked onto a returning train and brought back. The babies were coo- ing and happy—but hungry—and their first train ride had been in a special car.—Ex. Her Ladyship. “So Peggy’s grown up and got mar- ried? What a romantic child she was and how she used to talk about marrying a title.” “Well, she did.” “You don’t mean it? What is she now, a countess or a duchess?” “Neither; she’s a coal-baroness.”— Boston Transcript. Pennsylvania’s Pride. From the Philadelphia Evening Ledger. Pennsylvania has a right to be proud of her senior Senator. The SUDDEN DEATH Caused by Disease of the Kidneys. The close connection which exists between the heart and the kidneys is well known nowadays. As soon as kidneys are diseased, arterial tension is increased and the heart functions are attacked. When the kidneys no longer pour forth waste, uremic poisoning occurs and the person dics, and the cause is often given as heart disease, or disease of brain or lungs. It is a good insurance against such a risk to send 10 cents for a sample package of “Anuric” —the latest - - covery of Dr. Pierce. Also send a sample of your water. This will be examined without charge by expert chemists at Dr. Pierce’s Invalids’ Hotel, Buffalo, N. Y. When you suffer from backache, frequent or scanty urine, rheumatic pains here or there, or that constant tired, worn-out feeling, it’s time to write Dr. Pierce, describe your symptoms and get his medical opinion without charge—absolutely free. This ®Anuric” of Doctor Pierce’s is found to be 37 times more active than lithia, for it dissolves uric acid in the system as hot water does sugar. Simply ask for Dr. Pierce’s Anuric Tablets. There can be no imitation. Every Package of ®*Anuric” is sure to be Dr. Pierce’s. You will find the signa- ture on the package just as you do on Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery for blood and stomach. WORRY, DESPONDENCY. Kidney Disease is suspected by medical men when patients complain of backache or suffer with irreguiar urination, dis- turbed, too frequent, scanty or painful passage. The general symptoms are rheu- matic pains or neuralgia, headaches, aig spells, irritability, despondency, weakness and general misery. Worry is a frequent cause and sometimes a svmptom of kidney disease. Thousands have testified to immediate relief from these symptoms after using Dr, Pierce’s Anuric Tablets.

A Combination That Works Well. DOING AN IMMENSE AMOUNT OF GOOD. No other medicines possess such curative properties as these two great restoratives, Hood’s Sarsaparilla and Peptiron Pills, working together.
