Reuben and Isaiah Musser, of Ohio, aged respectively seventy-two and fifty-nine years, passed through Penns Valley on their way to Hartleton, to visit their father, who is ninety-two years old. Robert Smith, of Bpring Mills, who was one of the builders of many of the important structures in Penns Valley, was in town Tuesday, and paid his re spects to the Reporter office by mak- ing a short call. Mr. and Mrs, James B. Btrobhm, Miss Margaret Strohm, and Mr. and Mrs. A. E. Person, Tuesday morning went to Beranton, where they will be enter- tained by Mr. and Mrs, Rufus Strohm. The latter is connected with the Inter- national Correspondence school in the capacity of text book writer, Mr. and Mrs. M.

Davis, of Phil- adelphia, composed a little picnic par- ty that drove to the mountain above Centre Hall to view Penns Valley, and from here went to the Seven Mountains for the remainder of the day. Tuesday was an unfortunate day for Bamuel Stump, who is employed on the farm by Bydney Poorman. He was hauling rails, and while standing on the top of a load of that material, he lost his balance, and in falling struck his face against a large stone. His nose was broken, and other in- juries inflicted which Dr. P. H. Dale was called 5n to repair, Prof. and Mrs. William R. Bray and daughter Mary, of Freeland, are at present at the home of Mrs. Bray's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph K. Moyer, near Millheim. Mr, Bray in a few days will leave for Lehigh Uni- versity to take a special course to further fit himself to fill the position of principal of the Mechanical and Mining Institute st Freeland. He has been the head of that institution for several years, and has been advancing its standard ever since its association with it. The sporting bloods from Bpring Millsand Penn Hall had a running match Batardsy afternoon that would have fitted the contestants to enter an internatioral endurance race. In order to encourage the sprinters, a ball was knocked hither and thither, and as a variation it was tossed to one of four poluts termed bases. The idea was to ree which set of participants could get to the four points of the dis mond wi ls. uit belong headed off by the ball in one of tle opposing number's hands. 1 this the Bpring Mills con- testants « xceedeu, having successfully touched sil points, in regular form, twenty-eight times, while the opposi- tion performed the sae feat but eleven times.

LOOK HAVEN HOSPITAL BURNED, Lack of Water Pressure on Account of Small Malin Costs the Olty Its Most Val ued Institation, The destruction of the Lodk Haven hospital is a calamity not equale: since the burning of the Normal Behool some twenty years ago. The fire occurred Tuesday at 12:30, and was first observed on the attic. A small hose was attached in the building, but there was not enough pressure to carry the water to the flames ; a bucket. brigade also failed to do effective work, and when the three city fire com- panies arrived they were also helpless 80 far as extinguishing the flames was concerned. The four-inch pipe line leading to the institution and its high elevation reduced the force in the mains to such an extent that the flames were let to eat up the structure, while the firemen did good service in assisting to remove the furniture and the thirty inmates to a place of safety. The entire building was gutted, leay- ing the bare walls to testify to the in- efficiency of fire protection in that particular locality, The loss is esti- mated at from $30,000 to $35,000, with $10,000 insurance. ————— A — fA ———————— Millheim- State College, The Millbeim and State College base ball teams played double header games Baturday afternoon on the former's field.

Of 500 samples of cream taken last year about fifty contained less than fifteen per cent of butter fat and about twenty-five contained less than twelve per cent. AI A AIA.
