The Wizard of Wiseland. There is an attraction coming to Garman’s on Friday evening, Septem- ber 21st, that every man, woman and child will be tickled to see. It is the new brilliant musical comedy, “The Wizard of Wiseland.” The fun of this production is uproarious and unremit- ting, never pausing for a moment save when the songs and dances are intro- duced by the capable company of comedians and pretty girls. There are college-girls and society-girls and all sorts of girls. There are fairies and devils and magic. And there is also a big active lion who will demon- strate how the king of beast behaves when he makes a meal of a man. The “Wizard of Wiseland” has been de- servedly playing to crowded houses with great success everywhere. Prices, 35, 50, 75 cents and $1.00. Children, 25 cents.

Spread Salt on Streets to Lessen Dust Evil. Common coarse salt, when properly applied to dirt roads, quite successful- ly allays the dust during the dry months ¢f summer. The scheme has been tried in many places, and among them the little village of Belleville, Pa., where it obviates the need of street sprinkling. At this particular town the salt is scattered over the road surface with the aid of a lime spreader. The natural affinity of calcium chloride, which is present in salt, for moisture keeps the village thoroughfares fairly free from dust even during very dry periods. The material is applied at intrevals of about six weeks at a comparatively low cost. To obtain good results, how- ever, itis necessary that the. salt should have an opportunity to become thoroughly mixed with the dirt before encountering a heavy rain —From the June Popular Mechanics Magazine. ——Many pigs die frcm becoming overheated in the cars while in tran- sit.

Death of Adjutant General Thomas J. Stewart. Harrisburg, September 11.—Adju- tant General Thomas J. Stewart, for twenty-two years the administrative head of the National Guard of Penn- sylvania, former national commander in chief of the G. A. R. and former Secretary of Internal Affairs of the Keystone State, died suddenly at his residence in this city today from heart trouble. General Stewart died on his birth- day, having been born near Belfast, Ireland, September 11, 69 years ago. General Stewart, who had not been in good health for the last year or more, had handled all the details throughout the mobilization of the National Guard and its transfer to federal service and literally died "on duty. He was taken ill at a late hour last night and his conlition became alarming. A second attack of heart trouble occurred about 10 o’clock and he died soon after. Only two hours before he died, Gen- eral Stewart sent for Chief Clerk Ben- jamin W. Demming and discussed some departmental matt ats, appearing to be comfortable. Adjutant General Stewart was one of the most widely kn)wn men in Pennsylvania, as he had been in the State's military ‘establishment from the Civil war, in which he served as a volunteer and had campaigned as a Republican in every county, being not- ed as ‘an orator and after-dinner speaker. He was brought to this country when less than a year oll and grew up in Norristown When 16 years of age, he enlisted as a private in the 138th volunteers and after the war engaged in glass manufacture, in which he re- mained until 1882; He was elected to the Eouse of Rep- resentatives in 1884 and served for two years. The military: record of General Stewart was a long one. He was ap- pointed Adjutant General by Governor Hastings in 1895 and was re-appoint- ed by every Governor since, filling the office longer than any man in the his- tory of the State. General Stewart refused to take va- cations and handled all the details of the military arm himself. He was en- gaged in working out plans for for- mation of the Pennsylvi.nia reserve militia under the act of 1917, to take the place of the troops now in federal service the day before he died. Al- though urged by friends not to under- take this work so socn after the strain of attending to the mobilization of the guard for war, he refused to akandon it, promising to take a rest when the task was ended. General Stewart attended every en- campment of the Nationel Guard, di- vision and brigade, for more than 45 vears. He served as a member of the militia board of the War Department for several years and was president of the National Guard association of the United States. For a generation he was active in the G. A. R. and in 1862, when General J. P. S. Gobin was chosen national commander, General Stewart was made Adjutant General, being re-ap- pointed twice and in 1902 was elected national commander-in-chief. When the State established the sol- diers and sailors home at Erie he was one of the commission which lo- cated it and has since served as a member of the board of trustees. He was elected Secretary if Inter- nal Affairs in 1886 and re-elected in 1890. General Stewart is survived by two sisters, who made their home with him, and two brothers. Mrs. Stewart died two years ago. The funeral services will be held at his residence in this city Friday even- ing and will be conducted by Rev. Dr. George Edward Hawes, pastor of the Market Square Presbyterian church, this city. Te body will be taken to Norris- town Saturday morning and services held at that place at 2 o’clock. The G. A. R. and the Masonic bodies will take part in the funeral, he hav- ing been a 33d degree Mason. ——Subscribe for the “Watchman.” New Advertisements. on the 27th day of August, 1917, the President, Managers and Com- pany of the Centre and Kishacoquillas Turnpike Road Company, also commonly known as the Centre and Kishacoquillas Turnpike Company and the Centre and Kishacoquillas Turnpike Road Company, presented its petition to the Court of Com- mon Pleas for Centre County, Pennsylva- nia, praying for a decree of dissolution of the said corporation, which said petition is filed in said Court to No. 130 Septem- ber Term, 1917; and that a hearing upon said petition and application for dissolu- tion has been fixed by said Court to be heard on Monday, September 24, 1917, at ten o'clock A.
