This was the first stop after an eight miles’ ride from the county seat. The behavior of the sojers at the ho- tel was quite a la militaire, and they and with only a moderate pull upon the Centre Hall water works and that mainly to slake the thirst of their steeds, Being military men they were reticent as to their plans, but it is easi- ly surmised they were here to see if it were a suitable place for the Common- weal to camp if Coxey’s legion came this way. The REPORTER having pre- viously announced the army might have our grange pic-nic ground for a night's stop, a note was made of the location and the troop again ordered came to report at headquarters, There is no silverware or other valuables mis- sing from the hotel, ter disclosed the following names be- longing to this troop : Gen.

Because they wear close hats and caps. Wo- men aregiever bald except by disease, and they do not wear close headgear. Men never lose a hair below where the hat touches the head, not if they have been bald twenty years. [Che close cap holds the heat and perspiration; thereby the hair glands become weak and the hair falls out. py Shot Fifteen Foxes, * (3. E.

The purity of our mountain air, absolutely pure mountain water, with healthful surroundings for many miles around, are what contribute to this fa- vorable condition. A number of min- isters of the Gospel, who eame here in {more or less delicate health, rapidly | gained in vigor by residing here, and constitutions to the health-giving qualities possessed by Centre Hall and vicinity. Even the beauty of our surroundings of val- ley and mountain scenery affords a { wholesome eflect. Rev’s Boal, Eisen- | berg, Goodling and Land, have found | residing here more beneficial to health i than all medicines, and our citizens in | general can say the same. Our tgwn { has never been visited by an epidemic { of typhoid fever, diptheria, scarlet fe- ver or small-pox. Our elevation 500 feet higher than Bellefonte ; our mountain water under faultless regu- lation, does not see the surface until drawn from the hydrants, and there is no swamp or marsh to spread a dan- gerous miasma over us. For the location of a sanitarium there is no more favorable spot in the world ; here nature would supply the surest physician, attending the health- seeker all the time and free of cost at that. Men of capital would find the founding of a sanitarium at this place a paying investment. Mp { attribute improved i { i is i Handsome Hoom.

Philipsburg is making an effort to have it located on one of the streams near that town. No more suitable or central spot could be found than the head of Penn's creek a short distance east of Centre Hall, which creek is a natural trout stream with an abundant flow of water all the year round. We would have good a show for this hatchery, if the proper efforts were made, as any other locali- ity. We have enterprising men here who for over a dozen years have been spoiling for a chance to put to good use their ability and now the REPOR- TER gives them this pointer—get a fish hatchery started here and make a rep- utation for vourselves and as we'll see that no jealousy shall rob you of it nor curs to scare you off, Centre Hall would be a capital place as headquarters for a fish hatchery, for good fish stories have been hatched here in abundance for years past. - Wy Spring Hash of Dots Byron Garis has the building Colyer’'s foundation for his new house at the station. for wall contract April started in fine and all roads are good.
