POTTERS MILLS.
Horse Ran Four Miles,
On last Saturday a week Wilbur
Henney, had a decidedly interesting
experience in a runaway in a wild and
lonely region of the Seven mountains.
In company with Miss Flodie Clem-
ents, of this place, Wilbur left early
in the morning to erive to McAlevy’s
Fort, Huntingdon county. When
they had reached the top of the moun-
tain beyond Pine Grove Mills, they
stopped to eat a lunch in the moun-
tain wilds. Both were out of the bug-
gy and Wilbur bad taken the bridle
off the horse to feed it. The horse was
nervous and uneasy, and before he suc-
ceeded in getting on the halter the
horse made a plunge and upset the
buggy. Now thoroughly frightened
the horse started on a wild run down
the mountain into Stone valley. The
road was narrow and the buggy soon
righted itself, and the horse ran about
four miles before it was caught at a set-
tlement. The top and dash were
wrecked, while the shafts, spokes and
other parts of the buggy were damag-
ed. The horse was badly cut about
the legs. In the struggles the horse
got a leg over the shaft cross bar and
in this way dragged the buggy along.
The harness was badly torn. Wilbur
thinks the horse frightened at a bear
or some other wild animal in the
mountains. Wilbur and Miss Flodia
had to walk the distance to where the
horse was caught, when repairs were
made and they resumed their journey.

Enterprise,
Millheim has citizens that are made
of the proper material when it is pro-
posed to push an enterprise for the
town’s benefit. They have organized
a board of trade, and that organiza
tion has about secured a shirt factory
with about fifty machines, and give
employment to at least sixty hands,
The citizens subscribed liberally to the
project, and the company will have a
capital stock of $10,000. With the fac-
tory in operation al! lines of trade will
be benefitted, but it is sadly handi-
capped without railroad facilities. A
= line would be a great advan-
tage, and with the public enterprise
shown by its citizens, we feel safe in
predicting that it will go through in a
few years,

Diphtheria,
The Scientific American gives this
recipe, which the whole world ought
to know. “At the first indication of
diphtheria in the throat of the child,
make the room close, then take a cup
and pour into it a quantity of tar and
turpentine, equal parts; then hold the
cup over a fire, so as to fill the room
with fumes. The little patient on in-
haling the fumes, will cough up and
spit out all the membranous matter,
and the diphtheria will pass out, The
fumes of the tar and turpentine will
loosen the matter in the throat and
thus afford the relief that has baled
the skill of the physicians,”

MANY WANT A POSITION,
Applicants in Plenty for County Office
Clerkships,
Now that the election is over and
the agony at end for the rival eandi-
dates of both parties to secure the good
county offices, a gift from the people,
there's a grain of satisfaction for all of
the defeated Republican aspirants that
it is their more lucky opponent who is
now beseiged on every hand by Demo-
crats from all parts of the county, for
the position of deputy or clerk under
the new officials,
Around the county court house are
several positions to be filled after Jan.

clerk, a position requiring a man of
business ability, at a salary of $800 per
year, with a couple hundred more to
be picked up around the county offices
by the right sort of a fellow. There is
a lively chase for this job, among them
being Recorder J. C. Harper, Deputy
Recorder Dukeman, Boyd Musser jand
ex-Prothonotary I... A. Schaefer, all
of Bellefonte, and David Keller, son of
James A. Keller, east of Centre Hall,
and Frank H. Swab, the prominent
Linden Hall Democrat,
all these are pushing the claims of
each upon Commissioners-elect Heck-
man and Meyer. For the legal advis-
er of the board, a position which the
present board increased to $400 per
year, several Bellefonte attorneys are
humping themselves, and prominent-

THE CURTIN MONUNENT,
Citizens Petition Commissioners to Appro-
priate 835,000.
During the past week General James
A. Beaver, chairman of the Curtin
monument committee, sent to every
voting district in Centre county peti-
titions for the signatures of voters,
which will be presented to the grand
Jury, November 27, asking for an ap-
propriation from the county funds for
the erection of a soldiers’ monument
in Bellefonte. Reports have already
been received from various parts of the
sounty, and it is believed that not less
than 5,000 eitizens will join in asking
for the appropriation. This, itis be-
lieved, will have the result of securing
at least a $5,000 donation from the
county.
With such an amount to start on, in
addition to the $1,100 already pledged
from other sources, there will be little |
doubt of the ability to raise a sufficient |
sum to erect a handsome monument at |
county’s deceased soldiers and sailors,
with a life-size statue of Ex-Governor |
