James Anthony and Archie Miller, of Cumberland county, were electro- cuted at the Rockview penitentiary on Monday morning for the cold- blooded murder of John L. Beisser, a railroad policeman, near Carlisle, in October, 1916. Anthony was taken to the chair at 7:03 and was pro- nounced dead at 7:10. Three minutes later Miller was taken to the chair and at 7:20 he was pronounced dead by Dr. Robert T. Campbell. The two men were convicted at the February term of court in Cumberland county. — Judge Thomas J. Baldridge, of Blair county, on Monday revoked the license of the Altamont hotel Altoo- na, because the proprietor, L. F. Mec- Dermott, had been found guilty of selling to minors and soldiers and had cursed the government when ap- proached to buy Liberty Bonds. Now that he don’t have his bar to look after he will have plenty of time to speculate upon his past conduct. REBERSBURG. Harry Musser, of Philadelphia, came home to see his family. Mr. Harbaugh visited his home last week, making a flying trip. Mr. C. C. Bierly is doing consider- able carpenter work in Frogtown. Katherine does smile again since some one returned from Pittsburgh. Miss Blanche Hunsinger, of Wil- liamsport, came home on a short visit. The highest bid for the Walker farm was $5,600, and it was not sold last week. Corn husking is nearly over and farmers are preparing to haul in the corn fodder. Mr. H. E. Frank is now able to walk around and is gradually improving. It is reported on good authority that George Winters bought the Sid- ney Krumrine home. The Rebersburg hotel will again be offered at public sale to-morrow. The highest bid for it last Saturday was only $1,500. The hotel is worth eas- ily $2,500 as a property investment, not to say anything as a hotel. It is well equipped, remodeled, repainted and in good shape in every way. Among the Brush valley boys al- ready called for service are Paul Det- wiler, who now is in camp at Spar- tansburg, S. C., which is a healthy place. Wolford College, a southern Methodist institution, is there, and a female college. Robert Smull, who will leave for Rock Island, Ill, in a few days. Thus one by one they will be called to war. Others will follow shortly The Brush valley teachers are at- tending institute this week, getting the latest ideas on education and we hope they will get a goodly supply. Also additional inspiration to teach the boys and girls who will in a few years face the realities of life. Very few teachers realize this as they should. The teacher who is not ben- efitted and made more efficient by attending institute should not be em- ployed by the school board. The Chautauqua at Rebersburg closed its three days session on Tues- day night, having begun last Satur- day afternoon. Sessions were held only in the afternoons and evenings, except the junior Chautauqua for the children, which met in the forenoons. Mrs. Coles was the superintendent in charge and gave an address every af- ternoon which was followed with a concert. The music during the en- tire session was of a high class order. The lecture on “Hawaii, as I Know It,” by Mrs. Titus who spent several years on the Islands studying the con- ditions, was very interesting to those not familiar with the subject. She illustrated her lecture with a number of fine colored stereopticon slides. The finest lecture of the Chautauqua was that of Dr. Coan, who had for his subject, “The Tragedy of Arme- nia and Syria.” This was exception- ally fine, intensely interesting and in- structive. Mr. Coan was born and raised in Persia, is now an American missionary there and consequently an authority on his subject. He gave a short account of what the German and Turkish governments are doing in those countries and why in their opinion it was so necessary to reduce by slaughter and hunger the Armen- ians. He still has great confidence in Russia and says that that great country will finally pull itself togeth- er and organize a stable government. The Chautauqua was one of the big things of our town, and will be re- ferred to many times in the future for many reasons. We are glad to say that already quite a number of guarantors have signed up for its re- turn next year. The Chautauqua idea and work meets our rural needs fine- ly. Our community is not nearly so educational as it might be and needs a vigorous and forceful stimulus to get itself out of its old ruts in which it has been moving for the past thirty years. Our valley has excellent educa- tional, social and spiritual latent ca- pacity, but they are not developed up to the needs of the times. The Chautauqua aims to educate and im- prove in a general way communities, and make them familiar with and.ap- preciate music, literature, history, fiction, art and science, and practic- ally every line of human activity. The war is now the cause for much wider interest and study. We are now world citizens, and not merely attached to the United States. The Chautauqua will enable us to do the duties of this greater citizenship more, wisely and effectively. Follow- ing are the guarantors who signed up at the last meting: Rev. J. D.
