The Telephone Company Grants the Three
Dollar Rate,
The Penns Valley patrons of the tel-
ephone company who petitioned the
company to grant a $3 rate, same as
given the Bellefonte phones, have won
and the phones stay in. The petition-
ers have been paying $4 per month on
a line with ten phones, while in Belle-
fonte a private line with only one
phone is granted the same rate at $4
per month, and residences as low as
$18 per year.
The patrons in the valley did not
take kindly to this discrimination and
petitioned for a reduction or phones to
go out. The company hearkened, as
without the valley lines the system in
Bellefonte would be comparatively
useless to many, and the company saw
it in this light.
The phones stay and the patrons for
the time are content.

Entitled to the Medal,
A paper in Kansas is entitled to the
medal, for telling its readers tall corn
stories. The following, clipped from
its columns, is our reason for saying
80: “The horrible news comes from
Vineland that a young man the other
day climbed a corn tree to see how the
ears were coming along, and now the
corn is growing faster than he can
climb down. Three men began work
today to chop the stalk down, and it
is hoped the young man may be res-
cued before starvation overtakes him.”

Isalah Struble Killed by Being Trampled

Mr. Isaiah Struble, a well-known

Mr. Struble's team on the aforesaid
morning was hitched to a plow and
left standing near the watering trough
untied, when from some unknown
cause the team took fright and ran off,
Mr. Struble managed to get in the way
and grabbed the team by one of the
bridles hoping to check it in its furi-
ous dash, but the horses kept on
