An ef-| fort is now being made to have the district firemen’s convention held in Jellefonte about that time. This con- vention is now scheduled for Philips- burg and it is probable that next year it will be held in Bellefonte. If Phil- | ipsburg will make the exchange it will be a good thing in several ways. First, it would prove a great benefit to the success of the centennial, and second, the town would be gayly decorated for the occasion, The more attractions | we can secure the larger the crowd and #0 it is hoped that such arrangements can be made. We want this to be the greatest event in the history of our county.— Keystone Gazette. a —— Died at Pine Grove Mills, Mrs, Barah Keichline, one of the i | dies of Pine Grove Mills, died on Tues- day afternoon at her home, from a stroke of paralysis she had received but three days previous. She was aged 82 years, and was born in Union coun. ty. Bhe leaves four daughters and three sons, namely: Peter and John, of Bellefonte; George W., of Rock Springs; Mrs, G. W. McWilliams, of Fairbrook; Mra. William H. Doff. of White Hall; Mrs, Barah Gardner, of Rock Springs, and Mrs. Henry Meek, of Pine Grove Mills.

SAM St Destruction of Game, The extensive forest fires which have swept through our mountains for the two weeks, must have caused great destruction among the birds and small game. The birds are now nest. ing and the fire destroys the eggs. Men in the woods fighting the fires, have seen rabbits and other small game become so bewildered that they rushed back into the flames only to be destroyed. Sportsmen say that game next year will be scarce through this section of the burned district. Latest Contribution, The latest contribution to the Sol diers’ Monument fund is from Prof. C, L. Gramley, superintendent of the pub- lie schools of Centre county amount ing to $875.84. This Is the proceeds of different entertainments given by the . Sholl, schools recently for that purpose.

Bryan for President by acclama- tion, and would adopt the platform of "96, with new declarations to meet our foreign problems and the trust ques tion. Of trusts, Senator Butler said: “The People's party has always been against trusts, and we believe that the three greatest trusts relate to money, transportation and the transmission of intelligence. People who control these trusts can control the government, and we will, therefore suggest that these three great factors in the nation’s de- velopment should be under govern- mental control.” Democrats would ask nothing better than that Secretary Long, who seems just now to be the favorite candidate, should be nominated on the McKinley ticket for Vice President.
