THE NEW RACKET
No. 9-11 Crider's Exchange, Bellefonte.
Though the store is easily the
largest and many disinterested per-
sons say the best intown, and is as
chock full of Dry Goods, Notions,
Shoes, Novelties and everything U
can think of as a little red wagon,
and all of it selected with great care,
after an experience of twenty-five
years trading with Centre co. peo-
ple, we would hardly expect U to
believe us if we said that “our stock
was larger than all the stores of
Bellefonte combined.” We know
U are too intelligent to believe any
such thing, and we would expect U
to receive anything we might say
hereafter with due allowance, and
if we were to put out flaming ad-
vertisements stating that we were
selling goods much lower than our
neighbors and when U come to buy
U would find none lower and many
higher for inferior goods, we would
be sure U would avoid us hereafter
and it would serve us right. The
Racket has earned a reputation for
honest advertising, fair dealing,
standard goods, low prices.
And We Are Proud Of It.

admittance can be gained. A stone

NO MORE BOUNTIES,
The Act of 1889 Declared Unconstitutional
by the Court,
The recent county court reports, is-
sued in this state contain an important
decision of Judge Baker, of Cambria
county courts, wherein he declares
“The Act of April 1889, entitled
‘An Act to ammend the provisions of
the 1st section of an Actapproved May
13, 1887, entitled an Act for the de-
struction of wolves and wildeats 3 art.
111, of the constitution.”
This decision practically relieves the
county commissioners from paying
any move bounties. When this deci-
sion eame to their notice they at once
submitted it to their coun ty solicitor,
D. F. Fortney, who takes the same
position as Judge Baker and has advis-
ed the county commissioners not to
pay any more bounties on foxs, minks,
owls, ete, excepting wolves and wild-
cats. The following is Mr. Fortney's
opinion complete:
“The Act of Assembly approved
April 25, 1889, entitled “an Act to
amend the provisions of the first sec-
tion of an Act approved May 13, 1887,
entitled an Act for the destruction of
wolves and wildeats,”” having, been

NO SUHOOL,
The School Board Refuses to Grant the use
of Books for a Subscription School,
Prof, Ed. J. Wolf had advertised a
special term of school for ten weeks at
Centre Hall, which was to open next
Monday, 27th, and has been compelled
to cancell the term, owing to the
school board refusing to grant the
scholars the privilege of the text books
which are owned by the boro. The
board of directors at a meeting last
week unanimously refused to grant
the use of the books. This action
caused much adverse comment on the
part of some whom intended sending
their children, and the board was ap-
pealed to to reconsider their action.
The board met again in special session
a few evenings ago, and after fully dis-
cussing the question, again unani-
mously voted to refuse the privilege.
When the free text book bill
into effect, a severe blow was dealt the
subseription schools. The State

THE TRIAL WILL BE JUNE 203
The Governor is the Plalatiff and Lawyer
O'Connor the Defendant,
The trial of the case of D, H.
ings against Francis O'Connor, will
take place at Ebensburg June 20.
When the attorneys for the plaintiil
moved the Cambria county courts to
fix June 20 as the day for the trial the
defendant, who is a lawyer, moved to
continue the case ior the reason that
a material witness on his behalf was
at present in a hospital, and in it was
probable he would be obliged to under-
go and operation. Mr, O'Connor
clined to give the name of the witness,

confined. The court refused his motion
for a continuance, and set the case for
trial on the day petitioned.

the authority to grant the use of the

to pay no more premiums for the de-
struction of any animals mentioned in
the said Act.
On the 23rd day of June, 1885, an
Act of Assembly was approved which
provided for the payment of a pre
minum for the destruction of wildeats,
red and gray foxs, minks, weasles and
owls,
The amount paid in many of the
counties of the state for the destruc-
tion of these various animals and birds,
it was soon discovered, was so great as
to make it burdensome to the people
who pay taxes, A demand was made
upon the next legislature for relief and
the Act of 1885 was repealed by an Act
approved the 13th day of May, 1887,
The last Act, however, provided for
the payment of a bounty for the des-
truction of wolves and wildeats,
The Act approved April 25, 1880,
while continuing the payment of the
bounty for the destruction of wolves
and wildeats, attempts to restore the
bounty for the destruction of red and
