EE —" Heavy Sentence, Judge Mayer, of Clinton county, has sentended a man to two years and three months in the penitentiary for carry- ing concealed deadly weapons. This is the correct method of convincing hundreds of reckless men that it is not proper to have deadly weapons in their possession. It is becoming too common in this hadit among men, of going about armed with knives and revolve. ors, i A A SSIS From Centre Hall and the Township. C. F. Deininger and D.

The state department clerks have mailed to the county commissioners throughout the state the instructions of the board appointed to decide on the style of apparatus to be used under the operations of the new Baker ballot law. The circular givesifull details, so the county commissioners can make no mistake in placing their orders for the necessary apparatus, The limit of cost on the booth is fixed at $4.75 for the original compartment and $8.50 for each additional shelf or compart- ment; guard rail, $1.80; ballot boxes, $3. ise——— INTERRED AT CENTRE HALL. The Body of Miss Gertie Runkle Removed to the Centre Hall Cemetery. The remains of Gertie Runkle, who died from burns caused by the explo- sion of a coal oll lamp, some time ago, in Knoxville, one of the suburbs of Pittsburg, and buried there, were dis- interred, and brought to Centre Hall for their final resting place, having ar- rived here by last Saturday afternoons train. Gertie now rests where she was best known and had many friends. iii Child Burned to Death. On last Thursday evening the four year old daughter of Michael Myers of of North Philipsburg, was burned so badly that death resulted the follow- ing afternoon. While the mother was out of the house a younger child began poking the fire and when the poker be- came red hot she touched it, playfully, to her sister's clothes. Immediately the little girl was enveloped in flames and ran screaning from the house. A neighbor, seeing her danger threw a bucketful of water on her but it was too late. In a semi-concious condition she was carried into the house and all possible efforts rendered to save her life, but in vain. nf cf ——— Big Fire in Mifflintown Fire broke out about one o'clock on Saturday morning in James barber shop, located in the business portion of MifMlintown, destroying T.

The lad was an inveterat smok- er of cigars and cigarettes and his death is attributed to that cause. On the left side of his body, close to his heart, there was a long dark streak, evidentally caused by an affection of the heart. A Deep Cut, To make room for spring stock on his counters, Lewins, at the Philad. Branch, Bellefonte, is disposing of his stock of winter goods at eut prices, and they are cut deeply. A heavy winter suit or an ove ean be secured at a low figure from him. This is an op- portunity seldom accorded the people of this valley. They Went Out, About thirty girls employed in the woolen mill at Milroy, last Tuesday struck because the firm wanted them to pay for all damaged stockings they made, They did not hold out long however but returned to work at noon the same day. For a Severe Cold. For a severe cold on the lungs use the following excellent remedy: A tea JOHN PF. RUNKLE, An Old Citizen of Centre Hili Passes Awny Saturday Morning. The past few months we have chron- Icled the death of many of the old citi- zens of this valley and vicinjty and this week it again becomes our sad duty to announce the death of another highly respected citizen of the valley, Mr. John H. Runkle, who died at his home at Centre Hill, on last Saturday morning, after a severe and extended illness of several months, at the ad- vanced age of 83 years, 8 months and 14 days. Years ago Mr. Runkle was injured | in the foot by having a horse tramp | upon it. He never fully recovered from the accident and about one year | ago the foot began giving him serious | trouble and medical assistance was | necessary. All possible was done to | relieve Mr. Runkle of his affliction, the diseased member was almost nec it was not resorted to, on account of | the probability of him not surviving | the shock. His suffering was intense but he bore it all most patiently, until | death relieved him. He was a member of the Reformed church, and his pastor, Rev. Eisenberg, conducted the services in tho Reform- ed church at Tusseyville on the fol- lowing Monday morning. bani ma Parallel the N.C. BR. BR. It is an established fact circules that the P. and R.

The people of Clearfield county who lost their money by the wrecking of the Clearfield and Houtzdale banks are said to be in anything but a pleas- ant frame of mind, and they are said to be ready to make it very unpleasant for Rev. Dill, upon whom they place the blame for the loss of their money. The mutterings in Clearfield when Judge Mayer took the case from the jury last week were low but bitter, and his honor came in for a fair share of con- demnation. The stockholders who are expected to make up the deficiency by assessment on their stocks are talk- ing of resisting what they term high- way robbery. There is little doubt but that Rev. Dill’'s work has wrought mich distress in Clearfield county, and the chances are that the wrecking of the banks will work great injury to many people of the county who were unable to lose their money. The subse. quent conduct of Dill has not had a tendency to reconcile them to their loss. Cut Down Prices. Lewins, at the Philadelphia Branch, Bellefonte, has made a big reduction in prices on all winter goods. An overcoat or warm suit of clothes can now be secured at cost. The goods must be sold to make room and he proposes to make the low price sell them regardless of any profit. No shoddy and every article purchased a bargain. Take advantage of this cut is price and you will not regret having 80.
