VOL. LXIV. THE CENTRE REPORTER FRED KURTZ, - - EDITOR Some one hearing auoise in the court house, a few nights ago, declared it was Hende son spookin ronnd. A mistake — Henderson isn’t dead yet, mules do not dis young, Cameron was re elected to the Up ited States Senate by a large vote, It would seem that the appeal of the grange lead er to that order to support Taggart did not have any weight at all, Jury commissioners aid notaries pub~ lic are useless officers and shonld be d 18 pensed with. The counly commission” ers should do the work of the jury com- missioners and justices of the peace should be empowered to perform tbe du- ties of a notary. Sheriff Cook is still out catching the escaped murderer Wilson—he gets Wil. son about as often as Charley Ross has been found. Let Cook wait until the trout season opens maybe he can catch him with a worm, and in the mean time let him slide up and down the electric light pole just to show how Wilson did it. Ex sheriff Cook is running all over the state catching the escaped murderer Wilson, The counly wou'd have been saved a big sum of expenses if Cook and Henderson bad heeded the recommen- dations of grand juries and the Court and removed from about the jail yard the mesns of escape, —But thus it will ever be when mules and asses are puff«d up with a little authority. Pennsylvania now has a Democratic governor, one who will not be the pet of corporations and monopolists, bat will be true to the interests of the masses Gov. Pattison needs no platform or in- augural of promises, four years as gov- ernor of the commonwealth tell who, and what he is. It 18 a source of. grati- fication to the people in geceral that the state for the next four years will have a trne and trusted head, AT The Philadelphia Press appealed to the people in bebalf of the Force bill and the McKinley bill, The Press was beaten in every field and fence corner trom Maine to the Gall, Then the Press appealed to the Re publican state legislature 10 defeat Cam~ eron because he does not believe in the Force bill. The Press was again beaten and the man Taggert only got 7 votes. We think it is about time the Press get in out of the rain, AN. Europe has experienced as rigorous a winter as we have on this side of the Atlantic, Severe storms are reported to be raging in the North Sea. Advices from Berlin are to the effvct that the Elbe is full of immense ice floes, and that navigation in the river is still rendered very dangerous by the buge mass of float- ing ice. The force with which the floes strike vessels whith which they come in contact is enormous and already the bulls of reveral ships have been crushed io, Eighteen shipwrecked sailors whoss vatsels had been losi in this way bave heen landed at Heligoland. Violent snowstorms are again prevail. ing throughout Austria Hungary and it is feared that the suffering which was ex- perienced in the previous storms will be renewed. A perfect blizzard raged in the city of Vienna. The railroad lines are blocked by snow, and the traffic is greatly interrupted in consequence, T———————————— Congressman-elect “Lou” Stewart, of Illinois, is a typical granger with a grizs- ly appearance and a manner that is only found among certain ruralists in Illinois. In that state he is considered a great character, and this reputation, now that he is elected to congress, will certainly extend over the entire Union, Stewart lives in a little town a short distance from Aurora, and on his valuable farm is situated a magnificent grove where camp meeting are held. In the little town of Plano, which adjoins his farm, Mr. Stewart is beloved by the children as is George Francis Train by the little ones of Madison Square, New York, Whenever there is a circus anywhere near this little town Mr, Stewart char ere & special train and takes all his young friends to the circas at his expense. When Mr. Btewart was nominated or rather selected by the committee for can- didate for congress last, be said that he would mot run for this position, nor would he announced himself as a can- didate, He aleo refused to contribute one dollar for campaign expenses, and in addition be refased to have any ticks ets printed bearing bis name. He said that if the people wanted him they could scratch the other man’s ames off’ ticket and write his in. Although it was not though he could be elected, the result showed that he was correct in his con- CENTRE HALL. PA. His Cry Unheeded. Our Granger brother, leonard, bas bad high sailiog of late , and the sought for honors—deserved too—beats the re cord, He asked for the Senatorship, and his merit did not get a single voice in recognition. He ssked to be Pa'ti- son's Secretarv of the Commonwealth, but the governor havivg been blind t» real worth cruelly overlooked brother Leonard, who then came down a step to get within Pattisou’s sight and asked to be appointed Deputy Secretary, bat the governor had the wrong glasses on and couldu’t see it. What a pity! Then comes the Farmer's Friend, and fittingly proposes brothsr Leopard for United Bt .tes Senator, for Governor, also for the next President —if the Farmer's Friend is joking then the doubting Thomas shoud no longer be tolerated in the Grange. Now in all serionsness, we wish to put a band in here and propose a ticket for 1892, viz : For President: —P. T, Rynder. Plats form: My 8x10 Greenback side show to the bighest bidder. = For Vice President : —L. Rhone, form: An office, an office! Grange” for an office We'know of two votes already sure ‘or this ticket. In the meantime we would advise brother Leonard to hurry home-—ihey are actoally holding agricultural meet. ings in the county withoat asking his permission, and this is impudence un- bounded! A bill should be passed and an address gotten out cautioning against such gatherings. The people must he mighty hard o hearin’ if they can’t hear these loud pleadings for sn office, when a fellow is not choicy either and will take anything from Deputy Sec’y of the Commonwealth down to President. “The people be damned,” said Vanderbilt. Chauncy Biack Honored, The Demucratic members of the sen” ate and house he!d a caucus on Monday evening, in the supreme court room at Harrisburg, and nominated ex-Lieuten- ant-governor Chauncy F. Black for Uni ted States senator. All along the con- test for the honor had been between Mr. Black and Senator George Ross of Bucks 1t bad been a good natured fight, There were no factiooal lines drawn and no bad feeling has been roused by the se- lection. Representative Ritter, of Ly- coming was chosen chairman of the cans cus, and the secretaries were Senator Meek and Represeatatives Lesh and Bands. Senator Ross was named by Representative Donoghue, of Philadel phia, while Senator Brown, of York, presented Mr. Black's name to the can cus. A secret ballot was taken, Mr, lack receiviog 61 votes and Senator Ross 20. Mr. Blaok’s election was then wade unanimous. Jost before the cans cus adjourned representative Fow, of Philadelphia, offered the following reso lution which was adopted: “Wuerzss, The late elections through- out the nation and the results flowing from the same must be accepted as an indication that the people are determin ed to exact from their representatives in copgre=s, a strict account of the trust confided in them, And whereas, It is proper thet we as representatives of the democracy of the Keystone state should place ourselves upon record as being opposed to partisan legislation. Therefore, be it Resolved, That we call npon the con- gress of this nation to drop partisan meastires that are inimical to the whole people and pass laws that are really veeded to foster the impoverished busie ness interests of the country.” Special Announcement.

Dispatches were received by General Schofield from General Miles announc- ing the end of the Indian troubles in the West. General Miles says: “The en. tire camp of Indians came into the agency tLis morning, They moved in three colomns while passing under the guns of the command.” General Miles thinks it fair to estimate their number at not les than 4,000 people, He says he has direoted the chiefs to have the different bands gather up their arms and turn them in, which they are now doing. He continnes: “Kicking Bear, sup posed to be the leader, was the first to surrender his rifle, this morning, and others of the same character will follow his example. Of course, many of the young men may hold back and may ‘cache’ their arms, but I believe the dis arming will be complete, “Both officers and men have exercised acd maintained the most commendable discipline, patience and fortitude. All are gratified with the result. It will re quire some time to get the Indians under full contrcl, but everything is moving id a satisfactory, quiet manner. The troops ander General Brooke have moved for- ward and are now in three strong com mands with the Iudians upwards seven thousand in the centre, the whole within the radius of ten miles. In reply to the telegram sent to Gen: eral Miles concerning the time of the de parture of the Indian delegation for Washingtoa, General Miles says: “There i# no necessity of haste, to send the delegation until this matter is entirely settled here, and Indians do as I bave directed, which directions they Ol spect.

Mr. Mills, of Texas, charged the speaker with intentionally practicing a fraud upon the bouse in re fusing to recognize him to debate the approval of the journal, and intimated that McKinley was not a man of honor. These sentiments met with denuncia- tions and hisses from the Republicans, and for a time the house was in an up roar. Throughout the scene the speaker was calm, but the services of the ser geant at~arms had to be called for to quell the tumult, which at one time threatened to oculmioate in personal violence, ——— ~ Dr, Gast, the eye specialist, will be in Centre Hall on Monday and Tues day next, Jan. 26 and 27. ~]t will not be regretted if you buy your clothing from Lewins, at the Philad.

From The Centre Democrat, Last wgek we gave our readers an ac count of the attempt of Jim Fiedler to work the county treasury for a $400 bill of printing. In the next issue this fel low comes out in his paper and denies the whole charge. This supplement sup presser is as slippery and slimy as an eel and ean wiggle out of any Lole if you give him a chance. He denies that Henderson author zed him to farnish the county with stationary; part wae printed in the Gazette office and the balance by Frank Huiter's book bindery Harris- burg, for Fiedler, Tie work done ag home was finally accepted, for certain reasons, but the balance was not, which amounted to over $400 on which there Was a percentage of about $85 clear money for Feidler and Henderson and that is the reason Decker refased to ace cept the work. The supplement supe presser dodges the charge by speaking only of the $80 of work done at home snd forgets to mention the Hutter blanks ordered by tham, \ // JOHNNY DECKER WRITES, WN On Monday we received a letter from ex-commissioner Decker, which explaing the whole affair: CENTRE HALL, Jan, 12th, 1801, Me, Kure Dear Bir—1 am ever so much obliged to you I did not read your paper of last week but others id we what you had in jt Let Hender wt best 10 get me to sign that 420 dollar bill; but I did not sign any, except the $82 dollar bill, es 1 did not want to stick Mr. Cass. idy and CP.

They don’t want to have any dealings with men like James Feidler whom you must continnally bold at arms length for fear of him lifting everthing moveable, He failed to work the steal under the Re publican board. He has the stock on hand and is anxious to dispose of it. When the new board organized, he tried the following plan, On Satarday night Jan. 3, about 10 p. m. the fuilowing conversation occurred beiween, Feidler and Btrohm over the wire.

Now if there was no job why words over the telephone that night con- viet him of the charge yet like a crouch ing cor he answers only by a denial. He because he is too good a Democrat to pull for the Gazette, Frank Adams has no favors to extend in that direction and nis bill wont pass them. As the commissioners will only deal with an honest man, Feidler bas ap- pointed Mr. Hutter to act for him, Hutt- for the printing for counaty, instead of Feidler, but the minates in the coms. of. fice have no record of such dealings with either, Hutter presented a bill for the same bat no goods were received from and Hutter wants the bill pass to help Feidler ont as he hasjgood reasons to be afraid of Feidler ever paying him, Huott- er.
