DEATH OF DR, JACOBS,
The Noted Physician Died Yesterday Morn.
ing, after na Brief Illness,
Dr. William A. Jacobs, the oldest
practicing physician in Centre Hall,
died at his home yesterday morning ht
about 10.45 o'clock, after an illness of
about two weeks, of pleural pneumo-
nia, at the age of 52 years, 3 months
and 11 days.
Dr. Jacobs had not been in his cus-
tomary good health for about five or
six weeks previous to his death, yet it
was not of such a serious nature that
he could not attend to his extensive
practice, and he was out daily respond-
ing to calls until about two weeks ago
when he was attacked with dysentery
which compelled him to remain at
home. Instead of responding to med-
ical treatment, the complaint develop-
ed other complications and he was
compelled to take to his bed with
pleural pneumonia. About one week
ago his condition became serious and
it was seen that death was but a few
days off. He grew weaker daily, at
times lapsing into an unconscious
state, but again partially recovering
and recognizing his friends, until the
final end Wednesday morning.
Dr. Jacobs was born pear Shingle

fore he attained his legal majority, the
civil war broke out, He was not yet

Dr. Jacobs was a member
Samuel Shannon Post, G. A. R., of
Centre Hall. Politically he followed
the doctrines of the Republican party
yet he was liberal in his views anc

times, He did not take an active part
in politics, and had no desire at any
time to serve as an office holder. He

Snake Stories.
This summer's crop of snake stories
is greater than ever. The number of
snakes seen is greater and the sizes far
larger than ever. An era of many and
big snakes seems to be crawling upon
us, sure, and little snakes may be a
thing of the past.
From staid old Aaronsburg comes a
story of a big snake chasing the Wyle
boy while picking berries on the
mountain. This disreputable reptile
is put as being over 12 feet in length,
and many think it was the John Moy-
er snake of 45 years back. If it be so,
then snakes must be growing smaller,
The John Moyer snake was put at 35
feet in length and thick as a stovepipe.
One fellow in crossing the Aaronsburg
mountain, sat down upon what he
supposed to be a log, and presently it
began to move, and the fellow gota
big move on tco.
This Wyle snakelet may be a fourth
generation of that John Moyer snake,
or of that ‘log’ the fellow sat down
on,

In Favor of the Wheelmaen.
It has been decided by the courts
that if a bicycle rider falls or sustains
injaries on account of a dog barking or
snapping at him, the owner of the an-
imal is responsible for damages. Ina
recent case a cyclist obtained $500 dam-
wheel on account of a vicious dog at-
tacking him.

No Escaping it,
People who own bicycles will bear
one fact in mind, and that is that the
bicycle tax is a legal tax, just the same
as county, state or poor tax, and that
it must be paid. A great many have
an idea that this is a sort of an opticn-
al tax, which is an error,

The Water Condition,
The water situation with the new
boro’ plant is not improving, but the
supply is growing less. The upper and
western ends of town rarely have any
water. The balance of the town aver-
ages a light flow about one-third of the
time, Saturday, late in the afternoon,
hydrants stopped and only on Mon-
day morning the hydrants began to
respond. It had been shut off some
40 hours to gather a supply for Mon-
day, washday. A spurt was let into
the pipes Bunday, but did not rise to
hydrants and there was tribulation.
Only those connected with the old
plant had an abundance. It is a lam-
entable state of affairs—some were in-
nocently led into it by wilfully false
promises and misrepresentations, oth-
ers acted from pure malice,
The situation is this: Two-thirds
of the town on the boro plant, do not
have water over one-third of the time,
and to supply them all the time, will
require over double the present sup-
ply and that cannot be had.
Second : If those remaining on the
old plant should connect with the boro
plant, then the situation will be far
worse
One would think that with raios
passing around for four weeks, giving
precipitation to other localities, leav-

On Tuesday about noon, the large
barn on the farm owned by John Bi
ble, about one and one-half miles
east of Centre Hill, at the end of Egg
Hill mountain, was totally destroyed
by fire, along with all its contents.
The farm is occupied by Michael Con-
fer, the former Seven mountain toll
gate keeper. When the fire first
discovered the flames were beyond
control, and soon were threatening
the house, which was saved only by
the hardest kind of fighting. The
barn contained all this year’s crop of
hay, grain, oats, ete, which along
with wagons, implements, harness, »
mare and colt, and two hogs were de.
stroyed. The fire burned so rapidly
that it was impossible to save a wagon
loaded with manure standing in the
barn yard. Confer's loss is heavy up-
