The young man who lost his life waslJoseph Ewing, the irjured youth, Orin Oman, aiid the third companion Edward Tyson, who escaped unhurt. Ewing was but seventeen years old, and was the son of Mr. and Mrs. SBam- uel Ewing, of Btate College, and with the other two young men started on a rabbit hunting expedition on Toanks- giving day. They had gone but a short distance until they reached a point in the Bhuey meadow at the to cross a small stream. To do this Ewing and Osman stepped onto a board used by some to cross the brook at that point, The board or plank was too steep to make the ascent, and they began to retrace their steps. In doing so, both fell from the improvise. ed bridge, Ewing falling into the water at the deepest point, and Osman at the edge of the bank. The latter was carrying a double-barreled shot gun, and in falling, the hammers struck the foot board with such force thst both barrels were discharged. One charge, or perhaps both, entered the bead of Ewing near the right ear, passing clean through the head, tearing away the flash and bones, Osman had haod blown off. of the stream, and Osman, although painfully iojured, lifted their panion fiom the water and then gave the alarm, and with the assistance of others he was taken home, Toe funeral services were held at the home of the youth's parents, on East College Avenue ; interment at Pipe Hall, Rev J. M. Riley officiating. It was one of the saddest funerals held in a long while, Ewing and Tyson are brothers-in- law, and Osman is a son Frank Osman, who recently purchased the Bartholomew farm, west of Centre Hall, of Sr ————— A Hed Uross Stamp The pretty Red Cross Stamps to perpetuate the war agsiast tuberculo- sis, will be on sale at the Reporter offics agsin this year.

Sending Immigrants To Farms, The department of commerce and labor, through its intelligence division, has been endeavoring to direct immi- grants to this country to the oppor- tunities held out by the farms of this country, or rather by the business of farming. The destiny of these foreign thousands, where they go, what they de, and what sort of residents they be- come, is a matter of very great im- portance to all of us, and it will likely be agreed to that it would be the most advantageous if a majority of the new- comers would go into farming sections where help Is needed instead of drift- ing into colonies of their own race and tongue, and of their own peculiar cus- toms. This is what the “intelligence” division of the commerce and labor de- partment is doing. The prime func. tion of that bureau is to supply places in the rural sections where aliens can earn a livelihood, through correspond- ence with farmers who want sturdy men to help raise the grain, potatoes and meat which feed the nation. In every rational aspect the attempt to di vert immigrants to agricalture de serves support. Many of them have tilled the ®oil in their own lands, They would be at ouce happier, more healthful and wore useful in the coun- try, which needs both population and labor, { LUCALS, Heart trouble of a very serious na. ture is keeping Mrs. B.

Mr. Lee is very well contented on the farm he purchased and is now living on, snd fiods farm- iog a good enough proposition just George Heckman, tenant on the Harper farm, and William Fetterolf, tenant on the Emerick farm, both along the Brush Valley road east of Centre Hall, are hauling cost for the purpose of burning lime, This indi- cates better farming to be followed by{ them, aod beller crops will an doubtedly follow, . A double house, at Beotia, belonging to the Bellefonte farnace company, was destioyed by fire recently. The tenants were Joho Curray and Joseph Reaiick and their families, who barely escaped the loss of their lives, having bad to flees in their night clothing.

Huch a position is held by William F. McKinney, of Potters Mills, and he is diligently performing his duties at all times, He thinks the hunters were not quite as successful in taking game as in years gone by, and attributes a part of the lack of success to the fact that a second and some times a third observation must be made before a bead can safely be drawn on a deer, The theory that peach trees will live snd bear but for a few years is not vorne out hy a report brought from Chester county by James H.

E. Ward, of Bellefonte, announcing the death of her brother, Rev. B. L. Btiver, at his home at Bunker Hill, Illinois, on Friday. Ioterment was made at that place Monday. Mr. Btiver was a son of Mr, aud Mrs, Thomas J. Btiver, whose home was one mile (west of Potter's Mills. He was born November 1, 1545. After completing his public school educa- tion in Rock Grove district, in Potter township, be attended Prof, Weir's scademy at Potter's Sills and later Dr. D. M. Wolf's academy at Peon Hall, where he prepared for the pro- fession of teaching. He taught three terms in Potter township—the first in the Loop district near Colyer's saw mill ; one term at Centre Hill and one at Rock Grove, his home district. Following this, he prepared for college at Jacksonville, and was also privei- pal.of the public school st that place two years, In 1870, he entered Lafayette Col lege, at Eastou, and gradusted in 1574 taking second bonors in a class of thirty-three, also a number of cash prizes during his college course. From 1874 to 1875, he was ssesistant principal of Dr. Bhoemaker's academy at Chambersburg, In Beptember, 1875, he entered Union Theological Seminary, grada- ating in 1875, and was licensed to preach by the New York Presbytery Duriog the first two years he was in the seminary he was assistant princi- pal of Dr. Bach's scademy, carrying seminary work at the same time. Io Beptember, 1575, he accepted a» call to the High Street Presbyterian church in Bt. Louie, tut withdrew from the Presbyterian church in 1579 and united with the Congregational church and sccepted the pastorate of the church of that denomination at Buanker Hill, Illinois, which he held until 1813, when he resigned and bought Bunker Hill Academy, which be conducted successfully until his death. Ia December, 1582, he was united in marriage to Miss Carmalite Hornsby, daughter of Dr. (and Mrs. Horosby, of Bunker Hill. [lo them were born six children, namely, Cor- dells, now Mm Wm. Riokle, of Bunker Hill; Robert, Kenneth, Gladys, Helen and Perry Roland, Kenneth having died in infancy and Robert at the age of fourteen, Rev. Stiver's brothers and sisters are Dr. W. B. snd P.

Ward, Bellefonte, Penn- syivauis, Rev. Btiver was exceptionally broad in scholarship, and was quoted to be the most scholarly man who ever re sided in Buoker Hill or vicinity, snd be had the reputation where he was known best as a man who possessed superior ability. He received a nom. ber of degrees, among which are the A.M. and Ph. D. In addition to his work as minister aud educator, he was a frequent con. tributor to newspapers, —the 8t.

Mr. Man. son's explanation hase never been accepted by the public. If he was not guilty of seekiog or accepting promises of favors from the opposition party, the surrounding circumstances put him in bad light. ’ A sprained ankle will usually dis able the lojured psrssn for three or four weeks. This is due to lack of proper treatment. When Chamber- Iain’s Liniment is applied a care may be effscted lo three or four days.
