S. weather man at Washington deserves a chromo for the correctness of his predictions of the. weather a week in advance, but it is depressing enough to have to en- dure the kind he has been handing out lately without knowing it a week in advance.

But this evening “Stop Thief” will be pre- sented at Garman’s opera house by The Thespians, of State College. Don’t fail to see them, as the play is somewhat of a departure from the usual role essayed by The Thespians.

R, Foreman, J. Thomas Mitchell and Ivan Walker. The compilation shows some very decided changes from the totals published last week but they do not affect the results in any way. In fact most of the changes increase rather than diminish the Republican majorities. The vote on county aud- itor was increased on each candidate and brought the two Democratic can- didates so close together that Stover has a bare majority of six over Con- do. Following is the complete official vote cast in the county for all candi- dates on the county ticket: Judge of Superior Court: William H. Keller, N. PP... 3446 Sheriff: Dukeman, Rep. .. Dukeman, Pro.

Dr. G. G. Pond, of State College, last Thursday purchased at public auction the Dr. Priestly homestead at Northumberland for $6,000. Dr. Priestly came from England in the early part of the eighteenth century, having been one of the leading chem- ists in that country before being driv- en out by persecution. He located at what is now Northumberland, being one of the pioneer settlers of that part of the Susquehanna valley. "There he built a home and in the later years became celebrated as the dis- coverer of oxygen. His old home is one of the most historic in the State, and the room in which he conducted his chemical experiments has been kept practically as it was during his life, through the biggest part of two centuries. Dr. Pond, who is head of the chem- istry department at The Pennsylva- nia State College, announced after purchasing the homestead that he will have it moved to State College. It will be set upon the spacious grounds surrounding the college and will be used as a memorial to Dr. Priestly, the discoverer of oxygen and one of the greatest chemists of his day. The building, which dates back to the Rev- olutionary period, will be moved in seciions. Dr. Pond stated that he hoped to have the engineers there to begin work of the removal this fall. The task of moving the building will be quite a feat of engineering. “ Two Big Football Games. Two big football games are sched- uled for Hughes field, Bellefonte, one tomorrow and the other on Saturday of next week. They promise to be “hair raisers” and thrill the crowd on the side lines, which ought to be large on both occasions. The contest to- morrow will be between the Mansfield Normal and the Bellefonte Academy teams, and game will be called promptly at 3 p. m. The Mansfield team is among the strongest prep elevens in the State. The game on Saturday of next week will be between the Academy and Dickinson Seminary, of Williams- port. This also should be a struggle worth seeing, as Dickinson always has a strong eleven. This game will be called at 3 p. m. The local rooters should attend both these games and encourage the | boys from the hill in their efforts to! win laurels for Bellefonte. The Academy team is worthy of your sup- port, as shown in their victory over the Altoona All Scholastics and the great fight they put up two weeks ago at State College against the Fresh- men team when they kept them from crossing the goal line and only allow- ed them to score a safety touchdown. A Christmas Bazaar. Don’t forget the Christmas bazaar to be held in the Episcopal parish house Thursday of next week, Novem- ber 20th, at two o'clock p. m. Un- usual Christmas cards, practical and fancy articles suitable for gifts, and all kinds of good things to eat, includ- ing coffee and doughnuts, will be of- fered for sale both afternoon and evening. The Jack Horner Christmas pie will not be good to eat, but it will be full of “plums.” Go and try one. The Aid society of the Re- formed church will hold their annual Thanksgiving market November 26th, in the W. C. T. U. room. Home made bread, rolls, cake, ete., will be on sale.
