Endurance Walks.
Pennsylvania State College's de
partment of forestry is just com
pleting arrangements to hold three
endurance walking contests for its
students. It plans a two days'
eudurance test of 6o miles, a one
day endurance test and a speed
test of 20 miles. These tests will
be open to the forestry students
only, and will be entirely optional.
Merchants in the village of State
College and in Bellefonte have
promised prizes which will be of
considerable inducement to those
students entering the contest. The
department's wish is to put these
tests through because of their value
in interesting its students in walk
ing, and because they will give the
men an idea of what is necessary
to rarry in one and two days'
woods trips, as the tests will re
quire the men to carry their rations.
Flag Day June 15th.
The American Flag Association
has issued a circular calling atten
tion to the fact that Monday, June
14, 1909, will be the 132nd anni
versary of the adoption of the Stars
and Stripes as the flag of the Unit
ed States.
It concludes by saying:
"We earnestly exhort our citi
zens to join in making Flag Day an
event, and its celebration iu 1909, a
great event. Let us, from one end
of our land to the other, fling the
Stars and Stripes to the breeze on
June 14, 1509. May it greet the
rising and salute the setting sun,
and float all day long from every
church edifice, school and building,
public and private, and however
humble, throughout, the entire
land."

Who knows Conrad Hederick ?
A Fortune Awaits Him or Hit Heirs.
1 ne lonowing clipped from a
Schuylkill county paper may bring
the information desired:
"A fortune is awaiting the heirs
of Conrad Hedericb. Probate Judge
jolinson, in a letter from N. W.
Webb, a police officer of New York
City, the latter asks the judge to
help him find Conrad Hederich, an
old Germau soldier, about seventy
years of age, who is supposed to
nave cnea in this country within
tne past three years. The name
Hederich seems to have become ex
tinct. It may be that the proper
way to spell the name is Ileiden
iei:h, and that the Heidenreich
family is a branch of the family
called Hederich.
"Conrad Hederich came to
America from Germany in 1852.
Any record of his whereabouts pre
vious to 1905 will be gladly appre
ciated. He had three daughters,
Dorothy, Catherine and Anna, and
it is believed resided at one time
in Mahanoy City or Hazleton."

Boring for Oil Again.
Bradford county is again to be
the scene of active gas and oil op
erations. The Natural Gas Com

capitalized at half a million dollars,
through its representative, Mr.
Worthington, has leased over 4000
acres of land in Monroe, Albany
and Barclay townships.
Many years ago the oil craze
struck Bradford county, and wells
were bored in many places. It was
about the same time that the Green
Creek Petroleum Company was bor
ing for oil in Columbia county, and
the results were exactly similar in
both cases.

Fire Protection.
INSPECTOR DELANEY ORDERS ENFORCE
MENT OF NEW LAW.
Aflocli Picture Theatre.
Orders have been issued to all
deputy factory inspectors to en
force the new State law requiring
fire escapes and other precautions
on public places. In his orders
Chief Inspector John C. Delaney
says:
"This act supersedes all previous
acts as to fire escapes and is a great
improvement on them. It does not
include churches and ordinary
dwelling houses. It settles beyond
controversy the vexed question as
to lodge halls, as they are named
among buildings subject to its re
requirements. "You will note that 'ways of
egress and means of escape' may
be either 'fire escapes on the out
side' or 'stairways on the inside.'
You will observe that the provi
sions as to doors, passageways and
landings apply only to buildings
used or occupied by fifty or more
persons.
"The section which has to do
with theaters and like buildings
covers matters relating to exits,
doorways,, aisles, lighting, electric
wiring, drop curtains and borders,
fire extinguishers and illuminated
exit fire escapes. Now for the first
time we have a law requiring doors
to open outward and that hre ex
tinguishers be provided and sped
fying the number and the width of
aisles in both auditoriums and gal
leries.
"The act specifies, also, that ex
ternal fire escapes shall be of
wrought iron and shall be kept in
standard condition and' painted
once a year.
"This is by far the most far-
reaching and important piece of
legislation put upon the depart
ment for enforcement, and it has
in view the safety and saving of
human lives, not only of those em
ployed, but also of men, women
aud children in all manner of plac
es where education, healing or
amusement is sought, as well as in
tenements, apartments and flats
where they are domiciled. Com
pliance with its provisions will be
enforced without fear or favor."
Never Without Peruna in My House
So Writes Mr, C- G. Comers, Hot Spring,, Arkansas.
There Are a Multitude of People in
the United States
Who Have Been Restored to Health
By the Use of Pe-ru-na.
There are a multltutto of people In the United
Stated who have boon rcatored to health by the use
of for una. There in no uo trying to dony thin fact.
As a ruin, doctor dislike to admit It. There in now
and then a courageous doctor who dons admit it, how
ever. In such oases Peruna la prescribed by the
doctor hltnaolf. Even though the doctor suffers
pecuniary loss by such a transaction bis patient is
benefited, which ought to be the doctor's chief
concern.
Wo do not claim that doctors generally prescribe
Peruna. Hut we do claim whenever Peruna is ln
talllKontly proscribed it rarely disappoints either
the doctor or patient.

Electricity for Farms.
Harwood Plant to Furnish Light lor
Houses and Barn
Calvin Pardee, of Philadelphia,
and other capitalists associated
with him in the Harwood Power
company that is erecting a mam
moth power plant at Harwood, near
Hazleton, have given public notice
of their intention to form compan

ships, all within a radius of twelve
miles of Hazleton, for electric light
ing and the furnishing of current.
These companies will get their
power from the Harwood plant and

enjoy the use of electricity, and
will enable farmers to light their
homes and barns and run their
machinery with electric instead of
gasoline power or by the employ
ment of horses.
The extension ot the service of
the Harwood concern is in line
with the intention of the company
to girdle six counties in this part

Nasal Catarrh and Indigestion.
Mr. James P. Bracken, 610 Tenth Ave., New York City, N. Y.,
has occupied the ofllce of Water Inspector of New York City
for the past fifteen years. He carries on an extensive plumbing
business at 610 10th Ave. lie is Post Deputy of Grand Knights
of Keigna Colia Council Knights of Columbus, N. Y. He writes
as follows :
Tor nearly a dozen years catarrh has bothered me in one form
or anothor. I was troubled with nasal catarrh that had affected
my stomach, which troubled me most in the morning. My
appetite was poor, and I did not seem to relish my food. Indi
gestion bothered me at times, also. I was advised to take Peruna,
and I took it as proscribed for a month when my cure was
almost complete. Today there is not a trace of catarrh in my
system, and I can say without hesitation that Peruna cured me.
Kidney Disease.
Mr. Samuel A. Paxton, 1118 Troost Ave., Kansas City, Mo.,
member I.O. O. F. and National Annuity Association, writes:
"I am a well man today, thanks to your splendid medicine, Peruna.
"I was troublud with catarrh and kidney disease of long standing
when I first began using Peruna. I soon found I was getting better,
and continued taking It for four months. It cleaned out the system,
leaving me well aud strong and feeling better than I have in years."
Colds and Stomach Trouble. J
Mr. C. O. Convers, Pres. Cold Storage Ice and''
Coal Co., Ilot Springs, Ark., writes :
"I had been troubled with a very serious cm
of catarrh for a number of years. Having tried '
many prescriptions by good physicians, I found ,
myself no better. t
"On the advice of a friend who had used Peruna
with good results I purchased a bottle. The
results were so good that I continued using it'
Have, perhaps, In the last three years used ft)
dozen bottles, which have kept me from the try
lng troubles of catarrh. I am never without
bottle of Peruna in my house.'
"One always gets relief from colds and Indlgem-
lion lr you nave feruna."
Internal Catarrh.
Mr. Michael Booney, an Fifth St., WatervUet, .
Y., writes J
"If I had known of Peruna years ago I should hav
been saved much suffering. Under carelessness and
exposure in my younger years my system got into
very bad condition before I was aware of it,
"My doctor thought that I had catarrh of flkc
bladder and duly prescribed for me, but nothing did
me any good.
"My friends advised me to try Peruna, for which T
am very thankful, as it has cured mo in two months, .
and I am In perfect health. "
Catarrh of the Head and Stomach.
Mr. Prank Bichter, of 800 East 2nd St., Winona,
Minn., writes: "I take pleasure in recommending
Peruna for catarrh of the stomach. Peruna cured ma,
and I know It will cure any one else who suffers frusa
this disease. My catarrh was principally located fea
my head and stomach. I tried many remedies with
out success. I read of Peruna in the papers, and,fiss.
bottles cored um."
BIG CIRCUS AT SUNBURY.
Barnum and Bailey to Exhibit There
on WEDNESDAY JUN. 9.
The Barnum & Bailey greatest
show on earth is to visit Sunburv
on Wednesday, June 9th. Never
since the beginning of time has an
amusement enterprise so tremen
dous in size been organized as this
one. Its magnitude is almost be
yond belief. All America togeth
er with every foreign country, has
been scoured from end to end by
agents of this big show in search
of novelties and the result is a per
formance brim full of sensational
acts new to the circus world. In
the big Barnum & Bailey show are
nearly 400 arenic stars, most of
whom are seen now for the first
time. A new sensation will be
seen at every performance iu "JU
PITER, the balloon horse." This
remarkable animal with its fearless
rider ascends to the dome of the
circus tent in a balloon and des
cends to the ground in a shower of
fireworks. Nearly 1000 animal
wonders are to be found in the big
108 cage menagerie. 8 herds of
elephants, including one herd that
actually plays upon musical instru
ments in time and tune. A group
of giant giraffes, monster trained
hippopotamus, only living bi
horned rhinoceros and hundreds of
other strange beasts. Barnum &
Bailey's big, new, free street pa
rade is the most georgeous proces
sional display ever attempted in the
history of circus business. Its tre
mendous size and wonderful length
can only be believed, in the actual
seeing. It is natural to expect this
big circus to lead all others iu qual
ity and quantity of its street spec
tacle as well as in other depart
ments of the big show, yet never
in its splendid history of nearly
half a century has it displayed such
extravagance as is shown this year.
