SPRING ELECTIONS
TIME FOR MAKING THE NOMINA-
TIONS.
Nominations Must Be Made Earller Than
Usual. County Commissioners Pro-
vide For Expenses,
The spring elections, which will be
held on Tuesday, February 18th, 1898,
in the different townships and bor-
oughs of the county, are near at hand,
and it is time to think about nomina-
tions and caucuses,
The old system of making nomina-
tions for the party a day or two previous
to the election will not prevail here
after under the new ballot system, and
all nomination papers must be filed in
due form. Candidates in boroughs
and townships must be nominated
and certificate of election filed with
the auditors at least ten days before
the election, or if by nomination pa-
pers, seven days before the election.
The ballots to be voted must con-
form in manner to those used at the
recent election, which will be similar
in every respect. Township or bor-
ough auditors are required to have the
ballots printed and to certify to the
cost to the County commissioners, who
provide for payment of the expenses
out of the county fund.
In reference to city elections Section
5 of the ballot act requires that the
filing of certificates of nomination and
nomination papers for all but State,
township and borough officers, with
the County Commissioners 42 and
days respectively before the election.
Certificates of nominations by party
conventions of caucuses, are filed 42
days, and nominations by signatures
are filed 35 days before, so that the for-
7th,
35
{ mer will have to be filed January
and the latter January 14th.
It is, therefore, not too early, as]
some have supposed, to be looking
after the nominations even now,
One very important matter in the]
election of township and borough offi-
cers is that the auditors, in each town-
fraction of fifty voters on the assessor's
ballots, and shall obtain from the coun-
| with the ballots to the judges of elec-
i tions the day before the day of the
election. In the fall election these
|
missioners, but in the spring election
{ auditors must attend to that duty.

A Large Decrease,
The population of Bellefonte has
been decreased over one thousand in
the last two years, which is not exact-
ly an encouraging report for the ecapi-
tal of Centre county. The closing
down of the iron works, and other in-
dustries is attributed to this decrease
in population. And all under the pros-
perity of the McKinley Bill

HOWARD'S MILLIONAIRE,
Bernard Lauth Discovered the Cold-Roll-
ed Process by Accident,
What is known as the cold-rolled
process has worked a revolution in the
manufacture of steel, but strange to
say, its invention was largely the re-
sult of an accident, Its inventor,
Bernard Lauth, who is now living in
retirement at Howard, Pa. is a native
of Germany, born in 1820. When he
was about eleven years old his parents
came to this country, settling in Pitts-
burg, where he found employment in
a rolling mill. He started at the low-
est position in the mill and worked
his way all through the different
grades to that of boss roller,
With the money that he had saved
as a boss roller, in company with sev-
en working companions, he built a
small iron works at Zanesville, O., but
in 1852 returned to Pittsburg, and
opened the establishment which has
since grown into one of the greatest
steel plants in the world, The firm
name was then Jones & Lauth. Mr.
Lauth one day in examining some
steel, which it was supposed had been
spoilt in the rolling, discovered, great-
ly to his surprise, that it was of a su-
perior quality and finish. He began
a quiet investigation, and as a result,
perfected what is known as the cold-
rolled process. The invention yielded
the inventor and those who were in-
terested with him millions of dollars,

How to Avold Pension Sharks,
The pension sharks are playing their
business in Pennsylvania as well as at
Washington, As many of the appli-
cants for government bounty from
this state bave lost their papers they
find it necessary to secure evidence of
their service in the union army at the
adjutant general's department. A
large number have been induced to
| pay exorbitant fees to men who make
{ a habit of bleeding pension claimants.
This means of securing necessary cer-

The minstrel troup at Bellefonte,
will soon make their debut in the

is composed entirely of home talent
and the performance to be given is

No Sach Town,
An article is going the rounds at
present of the death of a child in May-
town, Centre county, from the effects
of swallowing a piece of chewing gum.
We have hunted and scraped through
every town and locality in the county,
but find no such a suburb. The town
is located in some other parts.
He Knows It AlL
We have a man in town who thinks
he knows it all, and when he gets in-

in the wrong, he gets wrothy and
ready to wipe up the earth with his
opponents, but he is merely a bag of
wind and can scare no one,
