A New Year's
Call.
“Good morning !”
Have you heard about the new
ghoe for women that has just
made its on the
market ?
No?
Well, lets tell you about it. It
is called the “Czarina,” sells for
appea rance
w
£2 50, and comes from one of the
most up-to-date factories in the
United States. It has more good
points than any other popular
priced shoe we know of —so many
points, in fact, that we are not
going to try to tell of them today.
This is simply an introduction.
Meanwhile, come in and get
acquainted with it. We are con-
ident that you will buy
when you get a glimpse of them.

DEATH OF MRS, MARTHA ODENKIRK,
Fatal Results of a Fall Recelved Several
Weeks Ago.
The death of Mrs. Martha P+ Oden-
kirk, one of Centre Hall's most estima-
ble and highly respected ladies, oceur-
red last Friday morning at about nine
o'clock, from an illness incident to a
fall received about two months ago.
During the first week in November,
one evening Mrs, Odenkirk was com-
ing down stairs. When on the third
step from the bottom she tripped and
fell. She received such injuries that
she was unable to rise, and was found
lying on the floor about an hour later
by & neighbor who called at a most
fortunate time, Mrs. Odenkirk broke
her right hip bone, and was left help-
less and an invalid by the accident.
There were hopes that she would re-
cover from the injuries, but other com-
plications set in and for the last two
weeks her condition was considered al-
most a hopeless one. Death finally re-
lieved her of her sufferings on Friday
morning.
Mrs. Odenkirk was the widow of
George Odenkirk, who died in 1877.
She was the last of a family of ten
children, being the daughter of Leon-
ard and Elizabeth Lingle, a family
who settled in Penns valley early in
its history, coming from Mifllin coun-
ty, where Mrs. Odenkirk was born. In
1883 she was married to George Oden-
kirk, being his second wife. There
were no children to this union, and
for many years, since the death of her
husband, she has resided in her com-
fortable home down street.
Mrs. Odenkirk was a member of the

Murderer Hummel Was Jealous.
Miss Cordelia Fisher, who lives
across the river from Milton, and who
promises to be an important witness in
the Hummel murder trial, has made a
statement of her experience with the
alleged murderer. Miss Fisher is the
woman from whom Hummel received
a letter a few days before his arrest, in
which she sald she would be his house-
keeper. This statement is significant
from the fact that at the time it was
written the fate of the murdered Mrs.
Hummel and her children was not
known. 8
Miss Fisher had been at Hummel's
house two different times acting in the
capacity of housekeeper,
She says she was to have married
Hummel, if she liked the place, but af-
ter being there a week she returned to
her house and decided not to become
Hummel’s wife. Hummel, she says,
wanted to marry her. She left Hum-
mel’s place about a month before Mrs.
Delany went there as housekeeper,
Miss Fisher says Hummel was of a
very jealous disposition and believed
house in his absence,

Didu't Know it Was Loaded,
Quite a serious accident occurred at
Kistler, Perry county, recently. Da-
vid Gutshall loaded a gun on hearing
a noise at his barn and set it behind
the stove. The next morning the boys
gathered about the kitchen stove and
ove of the lads picked up the gun, not
knowing it was losded, drew back the
hammers and the discharge from one
of the barrels struck the younger
brother in the forepart of the head
killing him instantly.
No Dispute,
To The Reporter:~-I noticed an item
in the Millheim news of Jan. 4, in ref-

sold’to George E. Homan, which is a

is chopping unmolested and there is
no music in it for any one except the

Decision AMirmed.
The superior court on Wednesday, |
| handed down an opinion aflirming the |
| decision of Judge Love holding respon- |
| sible ex-Bheriff Condo for the burning |
| of the Ettlinger property at Wood- |
| ward several years ago. Ettlinger had |
| killed constable Baruer who attempted |
| to arrest him, and fortifying the house !
{ defiled the Sheriffs He !
was |
| compelled to capitulate, when the]
house was fired, and being forced out, |
| committed ouicide in front of hun-
| dreds of eyes. The owuers of the |
| property destroyed presented a claim |
| to the County Commissioners who re- |
| fused payment on the grounds that]
| they were not responsible for the dam- |
| age. Accordingly Mrs, Emma Good- |
| man brought suit against Sheriff Con- |
P Yan,
do to test the responsibility of the !
damages, Judge Love held Bbherifl
Condo, and the case was appealed to |
the Superior Court, who afirmed the
| decision of the lower court. This de-
| cision is far from meeting with the ap-
| proval of public opinion, as public sen-
timent is that the county should pay
the damages in this case.

It has been demonstrated repeatedly
in every state in the Union and in
many foreign countries that Chamber-
lain's Cough Remedy is a certain pre-
ventive and cure for croup. It has be-
come the universal remedy for that
disease. M. V. Fisher, of Liberty, W.
Va., only repeats what has been said
around the globe when he writes: “I
have used Chamberlain's Cough Rem-
eday in my family for several years
and always with perfect success. We
believe that it is not only the best
cough remedy, but that it is a sure cure
for croup. It has saved the lives of our
children a number of times.” This
