Sones by a msjority of 50. J. K. P. Hall was nominated for state senator by both the Damocrats and Republicans. J. C. Meyer, present member in the general assembly from Centre county, representing the Democratic party, was renomioated by beth the Demo- crates and Republicans. He was the only candidate in the field.

The recent speeches of Dol- liver and Cumming a* Des Moines might well have been mistaken for an address by William J. Bryan. Bens, tor Cummins’ assertion that the pres. ent leaders of the Republican party are in league with tbe corporations and have ** scant time to consider the needs and desires of the great mass of humanity ’’ is but a reiteration of charges made by the Nebraska Demo- erat upwards of ten years ago. The Iowa senators stand practically where the Damocratic party has stood for more thao a decade and their attitude and that of the other insurgents, is merely a vindication of Democratic principals—a notice to the world that Bryan waa right in 1896, in 1900, and in 1908, Creasy, AP A————— Telephones lu Spyder County Construction of the line of the Mid- dle Creek Valley Telephone Company waa begun last week in Middleburg, and the work will be rushed to an early completion. That company will operate through- out the entire of Banyder county. They have already secured more than three hundred subscribers for tele. phones in offices and residences, which fact makes their proposition one to be very favorably regarded by all their prospective patrons. As the corpora- tion is subsidary of the Bell Telephone Company of Pennsylvania each rent- er of a 'phone from the company will have access to the efficient long dis tance service of the Bell linea. Mansger Eyer intends to first build a line from Penns creek to Selins trove, via Middleburg. This will aflurd early access to the Buffalo Valley Tele phone Company at the junetion in the western end of the county, and also make connection with the Bell in Belinsgrove.

Dr. Roosevelt to Prescribe for the Lils His Politioal Activity Produaoed, That there is something wrong in the American body politic and that Mr, Roosevelt is the eminent specialist who should diagnose the case and pro- pose a remedy is the belief of a good many people, The return of the ex- President is to be emphasized by something more important than recep- tions and hurrahs, . Arrangements are in progress for solemn consultations by the profession- als, at which the chief practitioner will be expected to make tactful preserip- tions, like that relating to Egypt which he handed down in Londen. Bome of these councils will be loeal ; some of them will be national, Those who have grievances to air or advice to offer have been summoned. If a post mortem were under way the gravity of the proceedings could not be greater. Incidental to these conclaves the specialist is to meet the people formally once in each of twenty four States, and on these occasions he is to reveal to them exactly the nature of their ailment aud the sure cure necessary to its eradicaton. Men take politics =a good deal as i1hey do medicine—on faith—and 80 no one need be surprised at the fact that the learned doctor whose treatment a short time ago threw his fellow citizens into fits is now halled as the one man who knows how to heal them. Matters in this country are much as Mr. Roosevelt left them, His mighty voice still reverberates. The laws that he forced through reluctant Congresses are still in effect. The President whom he selected sand vouched for is still in office. The House of Representatives whose elec tion he urged is still in session, with his adored and adorable friend Joseph G. Cannon still in the Speaker's chair, The “policies” which he approved are still paraded occasionslly, more to the terror of industry snd commerce than to the dismay of powible male- factors. The class fexling which heen- coursged still rankles. In his own political party the suspicions and hatreds which grew up under his spy system and habit of ruling by denun- ciation and defamation are still to be found. If his sovereign remedies have produced these resulta, what may we not expect from a repetition of the dose? To those Americans who are reason- ably sound in mind and body it must appear that whet the country needs most is a change of doctors. AD ex- President of the United States who can consign the people of Egypt for all time to the despotism of Great Britan isnotthe man to solve the troubles of the American people. lip very Heberling Henninger. The marriage of Musser Erhart Heberling, of Pine Grove Mills, and Miss Della C. Henninger, of McAlevys Fort, took place at Mont ursville, the ceremony being performed by Rev. C. W. Dunlap. Prof. Heborling is one of Ferguson township's best known and most successful school teachers, and it was thought by many that he would be permanently able to with- stand the darts of cupid, but this was an error. After the honeymoon trip, the couple will take up residence in Pine Grove Mills, where the groom bad a home all furnished and ready for occupancy befors the happiest of days came.

PA., | ren FROM MARYLAND, Former Potter Township Resident Writes About Fine Stamp and The * Loop.” When the Reporter was established in Centre Hall, I was among the first subscribers, and my name was near the head of the list. I do dot remem- ber the year but think it was about 1868, Rev. 8B, G. Bhannon and I frequently served as clerks for the elec- tion board, at Potter's Fort. Potter is a large township. I learned this well when I served one year as triennial assessor, soon after 1860. The town- ship polled over 500 votes. The high- est number of votes polled by the opposition to the Democrats, while I was clerk, was 140, The Reporter, wedded to Democracy, and one of the ablest advocates of the principles of the party, had an open field. I took the paper part of the time during the twenty.one years of my a time I had it discontinued. the last year an occasional copy, not- ing the desth of some prominent minister or layman, was mailed to me, I read all the news eagerly. The old home feeling asserted itself anew, with every week, The Reporter is a clean sheet, la fall of interesting matter, is well edited, neatly and correctly printed snd de- serves a place in any family, One sentence in your last issue, impelledy me to stop and think.” It was this : “ The Pine Stump Telephone Line.’ Pige Btump ! There are millions of stumps, just insignificant stumps, burned to get them out of the way. | But there are, or were, only two stumps that have been honored with imperishable names. They are “Gum” Stomp, a siation on the Spow Bhoe Rasiiroad, and * Pine 2 Stump for which a school house and | a telephone line have been named, Pine Blump ! My first thought waa, can that old stump be still there 7 When between sixteen and seven- teen years of age we lived in the most reaaote place in the Loop, as it was then caliéd, some of the valley people drew sn imagioary line from the end of the Tuassey to the end of Egg Hill, about six or seven miles, All be- tween this line and the Seven Moun. tains were called ** Loopers.” Bome, however, kicked, and drew a line from this line to the mountain, touching about two miles above Pot. ters Mills. Our domain was reduced to three miles by one. We submitted gracefully knowing that there was nothing harmful ino this name, and that we were just as happy as Lhose beyond this live, Bome of yout younger people may imegine that 1 have written this simply to pees time, bul it is a fact, and there are older men and women living in Centre Hall and in tRe Loop, if they still call it that, who remember good patured arguments between the two parties. It was called * The Loop" because a branch of Tuesey Mountain looped around if, skirting the Eastern border of the Bear Mead. ows and extends to the Basquebanna river. But I must get back to Pioe Stump. At the age already mentioned 1 went from the farm, in the Loop, to Pine Grove Mills, and, ins class of sixty, mostly academy students, was ex- amived by Dr. Gibson, a Presbyterian minister, who was the firel superin- tendent of schools for Centre county, I returned home s happy bay, armed with a certificate with No. 1 for spell. ing at the head of it, The board of di. rectors gave me the Pioe Stump school, I spent a happy winter there and will never forget that stump which was about as high as the school house. 1 think it was part of a tree the storm had brokeh off, 1 bosrded with David Fortney, whose sons, D. F. Fortney and Rev, GG, W, Fortney, Iately deceased, were pupils, Of the other pupils 1 can remember only the names of a few, George Heintzleman, Eliss Garver and sister, Samuel Crotzer and brother and the Lonebarger family. If any of these or others are ving, I would be giad to hear from them. Iu another letter I will give a brief account of other schools I taught, of the county super. intendent, the school terms, salary, and a description of our lovely coun- try here where 1 have served two churches more than thirteen years, Weare on the Antietam battle fleld and close to the National cem Perhaps sn account of this will inter- eat your readers, especially the veter- ans of the Civil War, Love to all and particularly to the few of my old com- paniops who still survive, It js sad to think that so many are no more, Bharpsburg, Md, A A, RERLIN, One of the most fascinating articles in the June issue of Human Life is Sou by Bo C.

Leitz ll, of Millmont, Ualon county, but formerly of Bpriog Mills, was on Tuesday evening committed to the Centre county jail in default of $1000 ball following a hesring before 'Bquire Musser upon s charge of Bpriog Mills, The case has aroused intense excitement in that vicinity and is of a very serious nature, shown by the heavy bail demanded hearing the facts in the case are aboul as follows : Paul J. Leitzell, the defendant, had for peveral years past, or ptjor to his removal from Bpring Mills to Mill the most highly respected young Indies of that community, Mise Rishel, daughter of Bquire Rishel, of that place, After his removal to Millmont. however, his aflections seem to have become mixed with some the pew associates in Uglon county, and his ardor for Miss Rishel cooled. It seemes she had not been deeply impressed by his attentions and when he wrole to her and compared the charms of his uew friends with ones bsll-forgotien she promptly dropped any further association with him, Later, for syme reason or other, he tired of his new friends sud desired to to bis former place in the esteem of Miss Rishel, but she refused to recoguize him or to allow him the privilege of calling at her hoe. Finding that other methods of rein- statement failed, Lelizall turned tw force, and in letters to the young lady made threats against her life if she persisted In evading him. About a month sgo he returned to Spring Mills to attend summer school, he being a teacher, and redoubled bis efforts to seek an interview with Mise Rishel, Recently she sccompsanied several girl friends from her home to the spring Mills station and upon return. ing home alone in a buggy she was held up by Leltzell who tried to fores a reconciliation at the p~iot of & re volver. Naturally the yourg woman promised to accede to his demands, tut after arriving home she refused to appear in public, ss has been her custom since he arrived in Bpriog Millie. Later Leitz: told her bro. therdn-law, W, H. Biokabine, of bis troubles snd floally gave him the revolver which he bad carried constantly. At as Sunday: school convention held ai Penn Hall inst Friday night which both he and Miss Hishel attended, he renewed his threats upon the life of the young lady if she continued to svoid Lim, and as a result he was arrested on Tuesday with the above named result. Mise Rishel is almost in a slate of nervous collapse as an outcome of the matter and was in daily fear of her life.

TEACHERS EXAMINATIONS, Complete for the South Fide —Saperintend- sub Gives Brief lpstructions fo Class Numos of app'lonats, Fuperintendent Etters has complet- od the work of examining teachers for the Boulh Bide of Centre county, clos ing with a class of forty at Centre Hall, Thursday of last week. The appli cants for certificates were not disposed to say that the examination was easy or that the superintendent was an easy mark. As is usually the case, mathematics was the puzzling branch | with most of the applicants, while to somae almost every branch was diffi. cuit. At Centre Hall there were a number of uew applicants, and some of them, no doubt, passed with good numbers, while others it is reasonable to presume failed to make the required mar ke. Before adjourning his class here on Fhursdsy, Superintendent Ktters cau- tioned those who would be granted certificates not to interchange Eong- lish Grammar with any other branch, snd emphszied the importance of teaching that branch every dsy ; and that lsnguage should be taught in every recitation. He farther advised the teachers to become acquainted with their patrons. Those who failed at the regular ex- amina'lon were invited to Lhe specials without further notice. The superin- tendent sald he was marking close, but encouraged all who failed to con: tinue their studiss—be determined to tucceed.

The Church Growing, Church growth in the United States was greater than the increase in popu Intion between the years 1900 and 1806, scoording to a special census report of religious bodies just announced from Washington. In the large cities the growth of religious organizations and communicants was greater in the years mentioned than the increase in popu- tion, while outside the big cities the rate of increase was approximately the same as that of population increase. Out of every 1,000 people in 160 prin. cipal cities with a population of more than 25,000, there were 469 church members, while for the area outside these cities there were 301. As com- pared with 1890, the report shows a gain of ninety communicants in each 1,000 of population for the principal cities and a gain of fifty-one outside of them, Fred Gulswite Bobert M.
