Miller, our popular barber, is the owner of a brand new infant calf, which it seems came into this wor'd at a most inopportune time, for the weather of the past week has been of such a nature as to cause But consid erable trouble in caring tor the addi tion to his stock. It seems the at mosphere on one particular night last week was so beastly cold that the poor thing was total'y unable to endure it, and Birt was compelled to convey it to comfortable quarters behind the stove in his shop. Here he tenderly cared for it, giving it at frequent intervals a swallow of brandy, which seemed to lesuscitate it wonderfully. At latest reports the animal was doing very well. LIVED WITH BECK BROKEN. Bradford County Man Survived Thirty Years After Accident. Contrary to the generally-accepted idea, it seems that a man may survive after his neck is broken. The Towanda fievieio says that the other day Joseph Bull died at Liberty Corners, Brad ford county, at the age ot 81 years. He lived for almost 30 years after having his neck broken in a runaway accident, and engaged in his usual vocation as a farmer. In June 1872, Mr. Bull, who wa3 a large and heavy man, was thrown from his wagon and terribly injured. The late Dr. D. S. Pratt attended him and gave it as his opinion that the bones of the neck were fractured. Mr. Bull recovered, however, but his head was thrown forward upon his breast and '.lis neck was stiff. Physicians who examined him recently were of the opinion that his illness was caused by a pressure upon the spinal cord, the result of his old injury and that he had really lived since 1873 with a broken neck.

Lehigh and Rutgers will open the base ball season at Beihlchem on March 3$. Howard Karl has signed a brother of Mike Tiernan to play right field for his Utica club. It taoks very much as though Wilkes-Barre will be without profes sional base ball this season. The at tendance at last season's games was discouraging. Denny Long asserts that Scran ton has guaranteed to turn out 80,000 paid admissions to the Atlantic League the coming season, and says Wilkes-Barre is a good base ball town. Lehigh will have two games of base ball with Vale, three with Lafay ette, two with Pennsylvania, and two with Cornell this summer. The team will also take an extended Southern trip. The proposed six-round bout be tween Sharkey and Corbett, scheduled to take place at Chicago March 7, has been declared oil", owing to the oppo sition of Mayor Harrison. In speak ing of the affair the Mayor said 'small pugs could have an occasional go in that city, but the larger pugs could not.

There is considerable speculation among the sporting fraternity on the result of the coming contest. Most of Dolbin's chickens will come from Centralia. The main will consist of nine battles. OBSERVATIONS. Lent began yesterday. The cold snap was a big business boom for plumbers. The weather hasn't as yet affected the Senatorial contest. The clerks have been having an easy time for the past week. Milkmen, like the trains, have been late for several mornings. Liverymen are the only people who rejoice in this kind of weather. The past week has been an ex cellent reminder of the old-fashioned winters. It is said thai the snow is drifted ten leet high along the road near Lightstreet. When the thermometer stands at zero, ice freezes an inch and a half in twenty four hours. Owners of flat roofed buildings have had troubles of their own this week, by reason ot the water soaking through and ruining plaster. BTATE NEWS. Rev.

Sister Catheilne, ol Dan ville, Chosen Superior. The new chapel at the Convent of the Holy Family, as the Beaver Man sion will henceforth be known, was dedicated last week, Tuesday morning at ten o'clock, with solemn and impres sive ceremonies. Some twenty sisters, including Motner Regina, from the Mother House, at Wilkes-Barre, at tended the ceremonies. The chapel and main building were blessed by the Very Rev.

Manufactories Are to be Enlarged and Additional Labor Employed. Much A special telegram to the Times of February 11 says; From positive indications Bellefonte is assured of a very big business boom. A new company will operate the Val entine furnace and ore mines, and the plant will be enlarged to give work to from 500 to 600 employes. The Co operative Company will enlarge the Bellefonte plant during the summer. It is likely that a tank will be put in instead of furnaces, which will bring the number of workmen at this plant up from 75 to over 200. The Houser Springless Lock Com pany expects to manufacture locks by April 1. There is also a move on the part ot the Standard Scale Company to increase their plant. The Standard employs about 100 skilled workmen. Ti'ere will also be an enlargememt of the Jenkins Iron and Tool Company. It was announced to day that several moneyed men of this place have about concluded arrangements for the erec tion of a silk mill here, which will give employment to from 300 to 400 oper ators. In addition to the above latest intel ligence gives assurance that with the coming of spring operations will be begun on the construction of the Bellefonte and Clearfield Railroad, which, with the repair shops and works in this place, will afford work for several hundred men in Bellefonte. A NOTEWORTHY DEPARTURE. Sixty Cents Worth ol Entertainment For Five Cents. Only It has been considered wonderful to publish a magazine for 10 cents con taining as much reading matter as would be given in 50 columns ot ihe average newspaper. But the Great Philadelphia Sunday Press" comes to the front with the announcement that, beginning next Sunday, rebruary, io,it will be so enlarged that each number will contain six times as much reading matter as any 10 cent magizine. Just think of it! For five cents you can get "The Philadelphia Sunday Press" and find as much entertainment and in struction as if you spent 60 cents for magazines. Look out for next "Sun day's Press." It will be a wonder. Trust Those Who Have Tried. I Suffered from Cttarrh of the worst kind and never hoped for cure, but Ely's Cream Balm seems to do even that.

Senator Cochran Says Democrats Should Stand by Their Colors. Senator J. Henry Cochran, of Ly coming, chairman of the joint Demo cratic caucus said that he had no request by any Democratic legir lator to call that body together 10 consider the senatorial deadlock. "We unanimously named Mr. Jenks as our candidate for senator," Mr. Cochran added, "and then adopted a resolution that we would stand .by the nomina nation we had made until two-thirds of the whole membership should de cide otherwise. I see no good reason, nor has any been advanced, so far as I have heard, tor changing Mr. Jenks for any other Democrat, and it seems to me that it will be time enough to consider making a change when it is shown that some other Democrat would be stronger or more likely tol receive aid from Tiepublicans. Up to this time nothing of this kind has been developed." Mr. Cochran declares there is noth ing in the rumored break in the Dem ocratic ranks. Every Democrat in the joint assembly had agreed to Mr. Jenks1 nomination and for any one or more to desert their candidate, at any time, would be party treason of the worst kind, and they would be pun ished accordingly. A punishment would also extend to the family of any one so offending. Democratic women would refuse to associate with the wife of such a traitor, and the finger of scorn would be pointed at his chil dren forever afterward. " No, indeed," the Senator added, " No Democrat will ever be guilty of such a monumental blunder. The case of the Republican so called bolt ers is far different. They refuse to participate in the caucus, while we not only participated, but declared ourselves satisfied with the caucus ac tion. It is very easy for outsiders to come here and advise us what to do. Their action for or against any meas ure will soon be forgotten. Our rec ord, however, is to be made by our votes, and when once made, that rec ord will stand forever. No, I do not believe that any change will be made in the Democratic nominee at pres ent." CATTLE PERISH. Heavy Losses in Texas. Where Thore is Five Feet of Snow. A special from Dallas says: Deputy Sheriff Davis returned to Dallas last night from the Pan Handle along the line of the Fort Worth & Denver Railway. He says the storm, distress and desolation are indescirba ble. At Texhne the snow is 5 feet deep on the level. At Clarendon it was two feet deep on Thursday morning and snowing hard. The mercury is 15 de grees below. The loss of cattle along the railway is something terrible. The cattle have practically no shelter, and in addition to this hardship there is no grass or water to be had, and their thirst and starvation hasten their death caused primarily by the bitter cold. Most of the trains on the Fort Worth & Denver road have been aban doned. Extra engines and snow plows had to be employed to get the train he was on through from Clarendon to Fort Worth, and it arrived eight hours late. Axes, picks and crow bars had to be used at water tanks to cut holes through the ice, and then the engines had to be supplied with water by the use of buckets. Farmers in the Pan Handel wheat belt say the wheat has been killed. The loss to grain and cattle, Mr. Davis says, will reach an enormous sum. There were reports at stations of terrible distress the inhabitants of sparsely districts, and it is regarded as tainty that many persons have tc death. among settled a cer frozen A Cute Swindle. A Company styling itself the "Model Bicycle Company of New York" has been sending out circulars advertising that a wheel would be sent to any ad dress on receipt of $3.85. Each bicycle was to be accompanied by a"smokeless bicycle lamp, an electric bell, a cyclo meter registering 10,000 miles and a nickle plated stand." The bicycle was described as a "perfect charm high grade and modeled after $100 ma chines." It was said to have no awkward bolts or nuts visible, and the circular contained these significant sentences, "You cannot ride the wheel and puncture and cut tire. It does not weigh 30 pounds, but is light and easily carried." An investigation by the L. A. W. showed that the com pany was sending out a small nickle plated watch charm in the shape of a wheel, for the $3.85. The following letters are held at the Bloomsburg, Pa., pestoftice, and will be sent to the deid letter office Feb. 28, 1899: B. E.

Many women suffer from untold ag ony and misery because the nature of their disease is not correctly under stood They have been led to believe that womb trouble or female weakness of some sort is responsible for the many ills that beset woman kind. Neuralgia, nervousness, headache, puffy or dark circles under the eyes, rheumatism a dragging pain or dull ache in the back, weakness or bearing down sensation, profuse or scan'o sup ply of urine with strong odor, frequent desire to pass it with scalding or burn ing sensation, sediment in it after standing in a bottle or common glass for twenty four hours, are sins of kid ney and bladder trouble. The above symptoms are often attrib uted by the patient herself or by her physician to female' weakness or womb trouble. Hence, so many fail to obtain relief, because they are treating, not the disease itself, but a reflection of the primary cause, which is kidney trouble. In fact, women as well as men are made miserable with kidney and blad der trouble and both need the same remedy. Dr. Kilmer's Swamp Root is the great discovery of the eminent kidney and bladder specialist, and it is easy to get at any drug store for fifty cents or one dollar. To prove its wonderful merits you may have a sample bottle and book telling all about it, both sent absolutely free by mail. Kindly mention The Columbian and send your address to Dr. Kilmer & Co.
