Sa
Complications Arising Over the Fees of the
Boro Treasurer,
What shall be the fees of the custo-
dian of the boro funds has been the
point in question which has disturbed
our boro dads the last two weeks and
delayed the publishing of the boro fi-
nancial statement.
From reliable information from a
boro official we have gathered that,
when H. W. Kreamer, who served as
boro treasurer for many years, held the
office, he was allowed two per cent. of
the moneys he handled, In thespring
of 1808, J. M. Goodhart was elected to
succeed Mr. Kreamer and it was un-
derstood by many that the new treas-
urer would serve his office for one per
cent. With that understanding he
was again elected at the last election.
The boro auditors started auditing
the accounts about two weeks ago, and
instead of receiving fees of one per
cent, he presented a claim for three per
cent. During the year over $8,000
were expended by the council and his
fees amounted to over $250. The aud-
itors refused to pass the claim and con-
sulted an attorney.
The law allows three per cent. and
Treasurer Goodhart is holding out for
that amount. What the result will be
remains to be seen. The council held
a special meeting last night to counsid-
er the claim.

Warning to Farmers.
The State College authorities send
out warning against ‘creamery promo-
ters.” Those gentry induce the estab-
lishment of creameries without sufli-
cient basis of patronage and the farm-
ers who put their money into such en-
terprises are losers. The expert of the
State College declares: “In order for
a creamery association to be success
ful, it is necessary, above ali things,
to have the milk from 300 to 500 cows
guaranteed to the creamery for nice or
ten months in the year. A creamery
to handle this amount of milk can be
built and equipped for from $1800 to
$2200. The price usually asked by
‘promoters’ is from $2700 to $4000."
Farmers who are about to go into
creamery speculations would be well
advised to communicate with the
State College or the Dairy Division of
the Agricultural Department at Wash-
ington.

Jumped Thelr Bills.
On Sunday two peddlers came to tha
home of George Flory, at the other end
of town, and with a plausible tale se
cured board and lodging with the fam.
ily. They were selling soap and other
articles, and according to their tale
would auction off a lot of stuff on the
arrival of their goods the latter part of
the week. By other representations
they worked one of our stores for a pair
of shoes. Wednesday morning they
decamped on the early train leaving
behind them their uopaid bills, They
are young men aged about twenty five
and one is of Jewish descent, while the
the other has an Irish cast.

front of Santiago, and later re-enlisted
in his old regiment, the U. 8. 17th In-
fantry, is expecting to be discharged
again from the service. George went
into the hospital corps, with orders
staring him io the face to be stationed
in Caba, he asked for his discharge,
and it likely will be granted. George

Clinton Fruit Prospects,
The Lock Haven Republican: The
fruit growers of this county say the
prospects are not good for a large peach
crop this year as the extremely cold
weather injured the trees to a great ex-
tent. Plum and cherry trees were al-
#0 injured by the cold. The prospects
are good, however, for a large crop of
all other kinds of fruit.

DIED IN A STABLE,
Centre County Farmer's Death May Have
Been Due to Polson.
Felix Fogleman, a prominent farm-
er of College township, was found dead
in the livery stable of G. Hagg, in
Bellefonte, on Saturday night. Fo-
gleman, with a companion, went to
Bellefonte on Saturday morning and
spent the day in town, having gone
for a load of coal. He had been drink-
ing with friends and about four o'clock
went to Hagg’s stable to put up his
team. That was the last seen of him
until late in the evening, when the
hostler found him dead on a pile of
straw in the stable,
Coroner M., J. Locke held an inquest,
but so far no definite reason for the
man’s death has been discovered. It
is the general belief that he died from
congestion of blood at the heart, in-
duced by alcoholism, but there is also
a rumor that he may have been pois-
ened, A wife and eight children sur-
vive him.

More Peach Orchards. ~Coming Crop Nil
George Kister, of Aaronsburg, one
of the pioneers in planting peach orch-
ards in that section, informs us he in-
tends setting out 5000 peach trees this
season, which will make 10,000 trees
of that fruit in which he is interested.
He further informs us that the peach
buds were avout all killed by the se-
vere freeze this winter.
With the above set-out, no less than
20,000 peach trees have been planted
in this county within about eight
years, mostly on this side of the coun-
ty. In the past two years two well
paying crops rewarded the owners, the
buds of several previous were frozen,
which is now again the fate of the
trees,

Lewistown and Heedaville Trolle yrosd
The trolley between Lewistown and
Reedsville, is now a certainty. The
Baltimore and Harrisburg stockhold-
ers in the corporation, were in Lewis-
town a few days ago making the final
arrangements and work will be com-
menced by the 1st of April and com-
pleted within six weeks from that
time. J. I. Quigley, of Lewistown,
has been to New York to close the con-
tract for the rails. The road will first
be constructed to Burnham and Yea
gerlown, a distance of four miles, and
later in the year extended to Reeds-
ville.
It would pay to extend the trolley
rity’s—making us short cut between
Bellefonte and Lewistown.

A Mad Dog Scare.
Unionville, this county. Mrs. Miner-
va Hall's young dog recently went up
Dix run to Andrew Hall's and Mrs
Hall tied the dog in the stable and
sent the owner word. Robert Hall
went for the dog and he tried to bite
but he succeaded in getting the dog
home, when the beast soon died.
Some time after the dog was taken out
of the stable Andrew Hall found one
was sick. He untied the animal,
when the horse commenced biting
everything in sight and ran out of the
stable. Mr. Hall shot the horse, think-
ing he had been bitten by the dog.
There is a ramor that other dogs in
the neighborhood are mad, and several
children have been bitten by the ca-
nines,
