——When Judge Fleming was get-
ting off his facetious reference to
Governor Smith’s brown derby, at a
local banquet a few nights ago, we
wondered whether he might have been
giving a sly dig at the sartorial in-
vestiture of our Congressman. Not-
withstanding the fact that our very
erudite friend and guest singer of
long ago, Bill Scullin, of Tyrone, used
to advertise that “the apparel oft
proclaimeth the man” we don’t be-
lieve a word of it. Often we have
seen “Crow” Brown diked out in just
such a braided cutaway or English
walking coat—or whatever it is call-
ed nuw—as the Judge was wearing
when he “called” Al's brown derby,
but never had we seen a Congress-
man dressed under the eligibility age
until, deaf as we are, we heard the
noise the Hon. J. Mitchell Chase’s ap-
parel made in, the Brockerhoff lobby
last Thursday night.
—An item in the news of last week
piqued our curiosity. a lot. It was the
announcement that one of the dry
sleuths who bought some of that won-
derful pre-war liquor at the Hotel
Stenton, in Philadelphia, had posed as
“Col. Theodore Boal,” an attache of
the French Legation at Washington.
Of course we know he wasn’t our Col.
Theodore Davis Boal, but we just
don’t get the idea of a dry sleuth
posing as “Terry.”

——The investigation of the Vare-
Wilson Senatorial election has pretty
clearly established two facts. One is
that elections in this State are notor-
iously corrupt and the other that a
good many politicians are willing to
perjure themselves.
Governor Smith assures the
public that any changes in the tariff
schedules that will be approved by
him will be for the benefit of the
people rather than in the interest of
monopoly.

| Stuart, a native of State College,
passed away at his home in Fort
- Worth, Texas, on Sunday, following
jan illness of two years with heart
trouble and other complications.
He was a son of John W. and Ellen
burg on August 28th, 1873, hence
the family moved to State College
ed State College, being a member of
the class 1895. During his college
career he took a prominent part in all
kinds of atheletic sports, and was
particularly strong in baseball and
football. For several years he was
shortstop on the college ball team and
a halfback on the football team. Dur-
ing his summer holidays he played
baseball for the love of the sport, and
any country team that could enlist
the services of “Chauncey Bill,” as he
was more familiarly known, felt well
fortified to meet all comers. On leav-
ing college he joined the Franklin
ball team and in 1895 was drafted by’
the Pittsburgh National league club.
SCHOOL TEACHERS HEAR
VERY INSTRUCTIVE TALKS.
Large Attendance and Much Interest
Shown in Institute Proceedings.
Over three hundred school teachers
have been in attendance at the 82nd
annual teachers institute, held in
Bellefonte this week, and all of them
have displayed a keen interest in the
various talks given by the well known
and able instructors on the program.
All of Monday morning was taken
up with enrolling the teachers so that
the first session was held on Monday
afternoon. Following the regular de-
votional exercises, county superin-
tendent Rogers made a brief talk in
which he counseled the teachers to
be prompt and regular in attendance
at every session, expressing the hope
that each one of them would be able
to get much of profit as well as pleas-
ure out of the week’s program.
The first speaker of the institute
was Mrs. Fadra Holmes Wilson, of
California Teachers college, who talk-
ed on Democracy in the teaching of !
history. She emphasized the point
that the ultimate object in teaching

meeting open to the invited speakers
with only one restriction, and that,

unbounded liberty to talk without be-

The first speaker introduced was
the Hon. J. Laird Holmes who spoke
on the work of the General Assembly
at Harrisburg. Following him the
Hon. J. Mitchell Chase, nominee to
succeed himsel fin Congress, was in-
troduced. Congressman Chase spoke
on his work in Washington and had

LOCKINGTON.—Mrs. Margaret

on east High street, Sunday morning, '
following two month's illness with
heart trouble and other complications. |
She was a daughter of Richard and :
Ellen Clark Morgan and was born in |
Bellefonte on February 12th, 1862,

On Tuesday Dr. Brumbaugh was
called away to attend the funeral of
a personal friend and his period was
filled by Dr. Charles Lose, who talk-
ed on the emergencies of discipline.
He told the teachers to be firm, but
kind, and never lose control of them-
dren out of mischief is to so arrange
their work so they will always be oc-
cupied at something interesting, and
they will then have no time for any-
thing else.
Mrs. T. R. Robb made a very in-
teresting report on last year’s State
Educational Association convention.
Several interesting sectional meet-
ings were also held at the High
school building on Tuesday morning.
Mrs. Wilson discused the question
of “Forward Look on Education.”
She said the world of science, elec-
tricity and social life changes faster
than we can take care of it. We are
ually. The thing that the world
needs most is human interest.

its appearance on south Water street

and wriggling off the street crawled
beneath the Busy Bee restaurant’s

Harry Kramer and he and Mr. Miller,
proprietor of the Busy Bee, routed
the snake from beneath the barba-
cue and dispatched it with a shovel.
Where the snake came from is a mys-

may have been curled up in an auto-

Miles Township Farmer Arrested for
Killing Deer On Farm.
Nathan Haugh, a young farmer of
Miles township, was arrested by game
wardens Thomas A. Mosier and Miles
Reeder, on Monday, on the charge f
killing deer that were destroying
crops on his land and failing to re-
port the same within forty-eight
hours. By his own admission, at a
hearing before S. Kline Woodring, on
Monday afternoon, Haugh admitted
that he had killed some ten or twelve
deer from the middle of September up
to the present time.
Under the law he had a legal right
to kill the deer if they were destroy-
ing his crops, providing he reported
the same to the game protector with-
in forty-eight hours. But the law al-
so specifically states that failure to
report the killing is cause for legal
action and subjects the man making
the kill to a fine of $100 for each deer
killed.
While Mr. Haugh admitted that he
had killed some ten or twelve deer
the game wardens were disposed to
be as lenient as possible, under the
circumstances, and agreed to place
the number at five. Consequently a
written agreement was made whereby
Mr. Haugh agreed to pay the sum of
five hundred dollars fine and costs, a
total of $515, and Squire Woodring
gave him until yesterday to arrange
for the payment.

within scoring distance but lost out,
on each chance. In the last
three minutes of play State had the
ball within three inches of the Buck-

when it was snapped back to him he
either muffed or fumbled it and it
went to Bucknell on downs. The lat-

| DANIEL STIMER DECAPITATED
BY TRAIN NEAR HANNAH.
The body of Daniel Stimer, 34 years
; missing, was found by a freight crew
jon the Bald Eagle Valley railroad,
‘about a mile east of Hannah Fur-
nace, at an early hour on Sunday
morning. The conductor of the train
notified local authorities and an ‘n-
vestigation resulted in finding the
head lying along the track some dis-
tance from the body.
Coroner Heaton, of Philipsburg, was
notified and he made an investiga-
ition of the cause of the tragedy.
From what could be learned it ap-
. pears that Stimer was in Port Matil- :
ida, on Saturday evening, and later
started to walk to his home at Han-
nah Furnace, about four miles dis-
tant. According to his usual custom
he walked along the tracks of the
| railroad. He was near-sighted and
this might have prevented him from
seeing an approaching train which ev-
i idently struck him, throwing him onto
!the track, his head and hand being cut
off by the wheels,

ployed by the Superior Silica Brick
company, at Port Matilda. He was
