Foster's Weather Forecast,
My last bulletin gave forecasts of the
storm wave to cross the continent
from the 25th to 29th and the next will
reach the Pacific coast about 30, cross
the west of Rockies country by close of
October 1, great central valleys Octo-
ber 2 to 4, eastern states 5.
Warm wave will cross the west of
Rockies country about September 30,
great central valleys October 2, east-
ern states 4. Cool wave will cross the
west of Rockies country about October
8, great central valleys 5, eastern states
While each storm brings first a ris-
ing and then a falling temperature the
average temperature of the whole
storm wave varies. The storm wave
that crossed meridian 90 about Septem-
ber 7 and 8 averaged much higher in
relative temperature than that which
passed the same point about 16 and 17.
About the date of this bulletin the
high temperature of the storm wave
and the high temperature wave will
be together and nearing the New Eng-
land states, When these two tempera-
ture waves are together the result gen-
erally is very high or very low temper-
ature, but this time it will not go to
extremes above, while it will go to ex-
tremes below a few days after.
About Beptember 25 or 26 the low
temperature of the storm wave and
tae general low temperature wave will
be together in the great central valleys
and this will bring frosts in many
parts of the northern states.
A Tot's Wanderings.
Charley Krissinger, of Berlin, Pa.,
8 4-year old tot who arrived here with
his parents at noon on Wednesday's,
20th, special pic nic train, to see
the camp and visit the family of the
editor, all passing through the grounds
to our residence where dinner awaited
the travelers, little Charley, after his
meal, hatless, innocently and alone,
wandered away, unobserved, to the
grange park, { of a mile away, got in
among the dense crowds, having es-
eaped being run over by ’'bikes and
buggies, or dragged down by the surg-
ing crowds, suddenly realized he was
lost, and began to cry, which attracted
the attention of persons near him, and
soon the word ran through the camp,
“Who lost a little boy?’ No one
could place the tot, for he was a late
arrival from away oft Somerset coun-
ty. Bheriff Cronister and Capt. Mal-
len took Charly in charge, and after
many unsuccessful attempts to have
him tell his name or home, he finally
replied, “Joe Kaortz,” (having stamped
on his mind the colored boy, Joe, liv-
ing with Mr. Kurtz). This led the
sheriff’ to 'phone to the Kurtz home
whether a little boy was missing, and
was informed accordingly and that
the parents were searching for him.
Taking in the Falr,
Quite a number went down to Lew-
isburg this morning to attend the Un-
fon county fair in blast at Brook Park
this week. Special return trains will
be run to Bellefonte today and tomor-
row evening to accommodate those
who wish to take in the show. The
fair is said to be very good this year.
The trainjhad five or six conches which
were well filled by the time Centre
Hall was reached. At this station six-
ty-four tickets were sold to fair goers,

Good Crowds Attend the Two Closing
Days.
Despite the unfavorable weather last
Thursday morning, there was the larg-
est crowd of the week on Grange Park
to attend the picnic. The trains came
in crowded and by noon there was
scarcely an availabe spot inside the
ground where a vehicle could be hung
up. The crowd was estimated at from
6,000 to 10,000, it being hard to make a
correct estimate for in all parts of the
park were people congregated taking
in the sights.
The attendance on Friday, the last
and closing day was very good in spite
of the fact that no special trains were
run. In the afternoon there was a
general move to get away and camp-
ers began preparations to flit home,
The fakirs closed up shop while the
stands and shops began packing to re-
move from the park. This work was
at its height in the evening when the
work was completed.
The work of dismantling the grounds
began on Saturday morning, and by
evening the park presented a desolate
and barren appearance. Dirt and re-
fuse of every kind littered the park,
and it was far from presenting the in-
viting and business-like appearance of
the ten days previous.
A gang of men were at work for sev-
eral days the beginning of the week
cleaning up and hauling away the de-
bris, putting the grounds into their
normal shape for another year until
the time for the next annual affair
comes along.
Wedding at Spring Mills,
Last Wednesday evening at 8.50
o'clock a very pretty wedding occurred
at the home of Mr. and Mrs. J. D.
Long, at Spring Mills, The occasion
was the marriage of their youngest
son, Frank A., of Punxsutawney, to
Miss Ella, youngest daughter of John
H. and Mary Myers, of Punxsutawney.
The maid of honor was Miss Nettie
Hanscom, a close friend of the bride,
and the best man was Joseph Kurtz
The ceremony was performed by Rev.
H. G. Dodds, D. D., pastor of the First
M. E. church of Punxsutawney, of
which church both the contracting
parties are efficient members. The
wedding march was played by Miss
Ida, sister of the bride. The guests
were the immediate relatives and
friends of the happy couple. The bri-
dal party returned to Punxsutawney,
starting from Spring Mills on Friday,
making the trip overland by carriage.

Arrested for Assanit
Last Friday one of the fakirs attend-
ing the picnic got into an altercation
with John Bowers, a character from
Julian, and was arrested. Bowers has
a leg off near the hip and gets along
with one crutch. He was annoying
and abusing a man connected with
one of the games going on the park,
until the fakir swiped Bowers over
the head with a loaded cane. Bowers
swore out a warrant and had the man
arrested. He was discharged on pay-
ment of costs, and the county saved a
lot of costa.

Death of this Estimable Miles Township
Citizen on Sunday,
The death of Mr. John Shaffer, fa
miliarly known as “Uncle John,” oe-
curred on the old homestead about
one-half mile east of Madisonburg last
Sunday morning, from an illness dat-
ing back many months of cancer of
the stomach.
Mr. Shaffer was one of Miles town-
ship’s leading citizens, being of un ge-
nial and kindly nature, he had won
for himself many friends. He had not
been in good health for nearly a year,
suffering from some ailment of the
stomach, which finally developed into
a cancerous aflection and death result-
ed.
Mr. Shaffer was aged almost 75 years
and was born in Brush valley, and
with the exception of a few years, has
always resided on the old homestead.
He was married in 1848 to Miss Fran-
ces Schmeltzer, and to them were born
six children, four of whom are still liv-
ing. They are, Mrs. John Roush, of
Gregg township; Washington, a farm-
er in Miles township; Mrs. Wilson Ha-
zel, of Madisonburg, and Thomas Bhaf-
fer, residing in Dakota, Ill, Mrs. D.
L. Bartges, of Centre Hall, is a sister
of the deceased, The wife died in 1892
since which time Mr, Bhaffer has re-
sided upon his farm.
Mr. Bhaffer was a consistent mem-
ber of the Lutheran church, Politic-
ally he was a Democrat of the old line
school. The funeral took place on
Wednesday morning from his late res-
idence, interment being made in the
Lutheran cemetery at Madisonburg.

Bad Year for Our Farmers,
Our farmers are not going to starve
this year, but they will lay up little or
nothing.
The bay and the oats crops alone
were good. The wheat crop was some
over half. The corn crop will count
less than half, and in many flelds
nothing and only a small crop of fod-
der. Apples will be less than half a
crop, and potatoes not up to an aver-
age.
In the face of this the Trusts’ higher
prices on all the farmer needs to buy,
will operate against his pocket book
quite feelingly. The farmer's wheat is
down ; what things he needs, are up,
and going higher.

Safest Horse Will Ran OF,
It is a true saying, No horse is safe
untied. John Arney drove into town
Monday morning and stopped to do a
little business in Ressman’s tin shop,
leaving his horse untied to await his
return. The horse started to run be
fore Mr. Arney got half dozen steps in-
to the shop, wheeled, upset the spring
wagon, and in making the turn at the
bank corner struck a post and tore
from the wagon and ran home. The
wagon was considerably damaged.
This animal was considered safe to
stand thus, but at last broke its record
and a spring wagon.
Wreck on the Beech Creek,
A freight wreck occurred on the
Beech Creek railroad Saturday night
near Snow Shoe in which five coal
cars were derailed. The cause of the
wreck is peculiar. A lot of Italians
were having a jolliflcation over a keg
of beer and after the contents of the
keg had been drained, one of the num-
ber picked it up and threw it under
the wheels of a west bound freight
train which caused the cars to jump
the track. No one was injured, but
trafllic was delayed several Bours.

Aaronsburg lost one of its good eiti-
zens in the death of Franklin John
Weaver, who died at about one o'clock
Wednesday morning, at his home, aft.
er a prolonged illness, from a dropsical
complaint,

been a sufferer, but his ailment did not
assume a serious aspect until six or
seven weeks ago, when he became se-
rlously ill, and steadily grew worse
until death relieved him of his sufter-
ings. For several years he was engag-
ed in the butchering business, and was
one of the town’s reliable and trust
worthy citizens. He was aged 62 years
and 26 days.
He leaves to survive him a wife and
three daughters. The daughters are,
Mrs. George Keister, Aaronsburg; Mrs,
W.M. Auman and Mrs, J. Willis
Musser, both of Millheim.

can, yet was liberal in his views. He
was a member of the Lutheran church
and his remains will be interred in
that church cemetery at Aaronsburg
on Friday morning.

Stadents Who Like Cider.
Sunbury Daily : Col. Wm. Foster,
of State College, was in this eity on
Tuesday with a tale of woe. The Col-
onel has a farm at the college and on
Monday he had three barrels of cider
made by his farmer. In the evening
three hundred boys marched down to
his barn and loaded the cider on a
wagon, and took it up to the campus,
broke in the heads of the barrels, and
proceeded to drink it. His farmer ran
down to the barn, and attempted to
stop the boys, and got licked good for
his trouble, while the Colonel viewed
