storm wave to cross the continent from
the 11th to 15th and the next will reach
the Pacific coast about 15th, cross the
west of Rockies country by close of 16,
great central valleys 17th to 19th, east-
ern states 20.
Warm wave will cross the west of
Rockies country about 16th, great cen-
tral valleys 17th, eastern s'ates 19th.
Cool wave will cross the west of Rogk-
ies country about 18th, great central
valleys 20th, eastern states 22d.
Temperature of the week ending 8 a.
tm. April 24 will average below normal
east of the Rockies and above west,
Precipitation will average about nor-
mal generally,
Forecasts heretofore published said
that the first half of April would give
us moderate weather and the last half
moderate extremes. April is usually
considered an even tempered month;
not so this year, Boon after April 12
the weather will go into chaos and
this unbridled condition will not end
much before the close of May.
An Expensive Duck Egg.
Ducks eggs are not usually expen-
sive, but Levi Slater, of Butler, will
have to pay over $1,950 for one. Inei-
dentally there was a suit for slander
attachment. Last winter Blater accus-
edn boy who lives with Mrs, Olive
Miller with stealing a duck egg. Slat-
er was not overly polite in his accunsa-
tion; consequently Mrs. Miller had
him arrested. A justice of the peace
fined Slater twenty-five dollars and
costs. Then Mrs. Miller sued for slan-
der and the jury recently awarded her
$1,950,

The Borough Statement,
The borough statement, which is
now out, gives the llowing invest-
ments in borough bonds for the water
plant:

These parties, same as those who in-
vested in the old plant, did it in good
faith, no doubt,
Under the latter the borough had no
debt ; under the new the debt and ex-
penditure is $0000 or over, with high
tax and insuflicient water,
Suppose some were to demand a de-
struction and ruin of the pew invest-
ment, how would it be liked ?
The order account is not intelligible
as to many of the items, The citizens
were anxious to know what each of
the two reservoirs has cost, but the
items are not set apart under separate

leaving the taxpayers in the dark.
Many items are not given in the
statement, withheld for some reason.
The bonded debt is not correctly giv-
en, as bonds amounting to $500 are not |
mentioned for a purpose. Besides
there are items of expenditure and ord- |
ers outstandibg, amounting to some]
$1200 which properly should have ap- |

one, it would seem that upwards of |
$10,000, or over, will be tha expense of |
the water plant—double what was sa- |
credly promised in the outstart; an |
average of about $100 dollars on each |

Walks That Will Laat,
Putting down walks made of our na-
tive mountain flagstones is a sensible
as well as, an economic idea. Such
walks are lasting and not expensive as
the stone slabs are found hereabouts in
abundance. Mrs John Odenkirk, Fr.
Bradford, D. F. Luse, W. Wolf, Mrs.
Barefoot, and 8. Harper, have fine
flagstone walks, and soon Dr. Emer-
lek and the two fronts of the Lutheran
church will have similar walks, Ex-

Have Your Policies Transferred,
Parties removing from one location
to another should remember that their
fire insurance must be transferred to
the new location, or their policies will
be void. Of course, the agent with

Tramps Rob a Church.
Some miscreant Sunday night broke
into 8i. John's Roman Catholic church
at Bellefonte, and stole the golden
chalice, valued at $200, from the altar,
then broke open the poor box and car
ried away the contents. Just how
much money was in the box is not
known. It is generally believed the
theft was the work of tramps, though
no trace of the depredators could be ob-
