Foster's Weather Outlook,
My last bulletin gave forecasts of the |
storin wave to cross the continent from |
November 28 to December 2 and Dee.
4 to 8,
Pacific coast about 9th, cross the west
of Rockies country by close of 10th,
great central valleys 11th to 13th, east- |
ern states 14.
Rockies country about 9th, great cen-
ies country about 12th,
valleys 14th, eastern states 16.
Temperature of the week ending § a.
m. December 19 will average below
normal east of the Rockies and below
west. Rainfall for the same period
will be below normal east of the Rock-
ies and above west,
East of the Rockies a great rise in
temperature will oceur between De-
cergber 1 and 16, and during that time
very little precipitation will oceur.
West of the Rockies the reverse of this
may be expected.
The best ice weather of the winter
will occur during the first two weeks
of December, and ice men would bet-
ter make good use of those two weeks,
especially in the great central valleys,
for beyond that does not look favora-
ble to ice.

Disd at 01 from Teething.
Labolt Gantzburger died at the
county hospital at Reading recently
and, although he was ninety-one years
of age, it is believed his death was has
tened by the fact that he was teething.
He had hardly a tooth in his mouth
until about two months ago when one
made ils appearance. He “cut” two
more since then, and fully expected an
entire set to develop. The teething ag-
gravated his other ailments, and he
died suddonly. Physicians say it is
one of the strangest cases on record,

COMING INTO CENTRE HALL,
The Commercial Telephone Line will Ex-
tend Their System at Once.
There is every prospect of our burg
soon enjoying a connection with the
Commercial Telephone Company's
lines, which will operate through all
the counties in the central part of the
state, and the work on extending the
system into the town and through the
valley will be pushed at once as the
weather will permit.
Last Friday the officers and direc-
tors held a meeting at Runkle’s hotel,
They wished to learn what encourage-
ment the company would receive from
our citizens should the lines be extend-
ed into the Centre Hall distriet. A
number of our citizens attended the
and the extension met with such fa-
vor that the company will at once be-
gin operations. The present terminus
is Linden Hall, and the system will
be extended through to Woodward to
connect with the Union county Home
Co., giving subscribers the advantage
of all lines free of toll rates.
E. M. Huyett was appointed to can-
vas this section. Already he has se-
cured twentry subscribers, with very
good prospects of as many more, With
twenty-five phones an exchange will
be placed in the town. This is assured
already. Centre Hill, Potters Mills,
Tusseyville and Colyer, across the val-
ley, will have communication, The
work on this line will begin next
week. The rate is $2.00 per mouth
for business places, and $1.50 fo pri-
vate residences. Our earnest and active
business men and men of capital, will,
no doubt, put a liberal amount of funds
into the project to keep up the ancient
reputation of our town for the enter-
men. Let the present and future show
up real liberal spirits to follow in the
footsteps of its men of the past in aid-
ing financially Centre Hall's interests.
We have, during the past few months,
given the territory to be covered by the
independent telephone company.
The company claims to have 12
130 phone takers in Bellefonte.

Hepaired the Leak
e contractors last week made the
repairs necessary on the upper reser-
voir of the boro plant. The water was
turned in on Friday, and the reservoir
will not be turned on until it is filled.
It is desired to find whether the hole
will leak with several feet more water
than it has yet had. The contractors
have asked the council to meet and ef-
fect a settlement. They have present-
ed no bill as yet in full for the work
done on both the pipe line and reser
voir. They will insist on a settlement,
and have their claim for work paid.

y/ What Aleshol Will Remove,
It is said that alcohol will remove
grass stains from summer clothes,
That is right. It will also remove the
summer clothes and also the spring,
autumn and winter clothes not only
from the one who drinks, but also
from his wife and family. It will also
remove the household furniture from
the house, and the eatables from the
pantry, the smiles from the face of the
wife and the happiness from the home.
