VOL. LXXXI1YV, THE PRIMARI Es AND ELECTION. Nominations for Township and Borough Offices to be Made Under New Fri. MAry aaw, The late amendments to the consti- tution of the state and several new acts of assembly have caused a number of changes in the length of tetms of county and municipal offices, so that it is deemed advisable to publish the information at hand to acquaint the voters with their duties at the coming primaries on Saturday, September 30th and the general election, on Tuesday, November 7th. All nominations for offices will be made under the pew primary law, the party caucus passing away. The nom- inations for county, borough and township officers will therefore be made at the same time, on the last day of September, aud will be conducted by the regular election officers. In the boroughs and townships of the county five directors constitute the schoo! board ; two of these will be elected for two years, two for four years and one for six years, and the! cortificates of nomination must set forth the number of years for which the candidate is running. All constables will be elected this year, in boroughs and townships for four years, All assessors will be elected this year, in boroughs and townships for four years, One supervisor will be elected this year for four years. Two overseers of the poor will be elected in every township and borough for two years, A judge of election and two inspec- tors of election will be elected in every | voting district in the county for two years. The county offices to be filled are | sheriff, treasurer, prothonotary, dis-| trict attorney, three commissioners, | recorder, i Petitions, where candidates are | nominated on petition, must be in the Lands of the county commissioners al least twenty-one days before Lhe primaries, J NS f Dash Kreamer, son of Mr. and, Mrs, Frank Kreamer, and pephew of | the late Johnathan Kreamer, of Mill; heim, ap amatear aviator, was killed at Chicago Thursday of last week. He was a resident of Freeport, and for two years had studied aviation and made a number of successful flights, | aud just the night before his death bad | made a four-mtile flight by moon light. | Mr. Kreamer was using a Curtis | biplane, and had made one lap, when | the engine failed to work properly. He fell a distance of seventy-five feet, the engine ( 50-horse power ) falling on him. His death was almost in- stantaneous. M.. Kreamper was a man of daring | character, aud bad been granted a pilot's license. He had made twenty or more successful flights, He was very populsr in Freeport, his home, His age was forty-one years. A widow and two small children survive, Bud Mars, who fell at Erie the day following, witnessed the death of Kreamer. The two were close friends. Kreamer's fall seemed (0 welgh heav- ily on Mars, and probably partially unnerved him. EN .,,.SSREE Aviator Kreamer Killed, r i i i Le Woods License View Sustained. / It will be recalled that Parks Mur- tiff and R. K., Nolan, applicants for liquor license in Mifllin county, ap- pealed to the superior court from Judge Woods’ decision that Mifflin county be dry. Tue appeals were based on legal technicalities, that the court erred in couvsidering remoostrance in the making of its decree and that it did not exercise a proper judicial dis- cretion. The Buperior Court handed down ite decision in both cases, affirming the order of the lower court and dismiss ing the appeals at the cost of the ap- peliants, It therefore seems to be fully and fluaily settled that the courts have fuil power to refuse all liquor licenses, in sccordance with the sentiment of the people as expressed in the peti. tions and remonstrances presented and that Millio county will remain with. out liquor leenses so long as the present laws are in force and so long as the people themselves desire it and #0 express themselves at the polls and io their remonsirances, N “ Progress Grange, At the next meeting of Progress Grange, July 22nd, at 2 o'clock, the following questions will be discussed : * Early and Iate sowing for wheat, To be opened by the lecturer, Recitations by Irma Dutrow, Guyer Grove, James Keller, Nina Blick, Disocursion : ** What is good custom for public ocessions. ”’ To be opened by Mrs. D.

Architect Lee, of Bhamokin, pre. sented plans for a two-story brick building which were adopted. The building will contain a general assem- bly room and four school rooms, pro- viding accommodation for 200 pupils without crowding. The building will be modern in every particular and will be erected near the administra- tion building at an estimated cost of $17,000 There was $6000 in the build- ing fund and $2500 was added to this amount by subscriptions, The build- ing and property committees were atithorized to advertise for bids in ac- cordance with the plans adopted and proceed with the erection of the build. ing as soon as possible. ————— A ————— Aaronsburg, Earnest Stover has gone to Akron, Ohio, to visit friends.

Eccles, husband of Zora Heckman, formerly of Centre Hall, Mr. and Mrs. Eccles were mar- ried about two years ago, and in the beginning of July made their first visit to this place, spending the time with Mrs. Eccles’ brothers and sisters, and her mother, Mra. William Heck- man. Mr, Eccles won the greatest re. spect of his wife's relatives. His visit to the Reporter office revealed him a quiet, unassuming man. He owned a home at the address given below, and is also sald to have had consider- able life insurance. The couple are childless. The Philadelphia Press of last Thursday gives this account of the man’s death : William Eccles wandered around Fairmount Park yesterday morning until he came before the Japanese Shrine, which stands apart from the other buildiogs, and then at the very pedestal of a high and grewsome Jap- anese ‘' god" of war he blew his head off with a revolver because he could'nt stand the heat, When his body was found by Park Guard Furman it was lying across a bench which stands before the en. trance to the sacred Temple of the Japanese, Hundreds have gone to Fairmount Park and ended thelr lives inside the vast area, but Eccles is the first who chose to die in the shadow of the great images of the shrine, which are sacred to the Japanese, Just before Eocles pulled the trigger of his revolver he must have seen the Japanese * God of War, for it was right before his eyes, Any where inside the borders of the Park it ie lovely and it is easy to find some secluded spot, but the Japaneee Shrine is the one place which seems entirely apart from all earthly things. Eccles must have wandered some distance in the Park before he came to the temple, surrounded by .the “Gods” and * Devils,” for it Is a Jong way from apy of the entrances to the Park. It stands slone and always causes comment among those who do pot know what itis. It is one of the places at the Park which isseldom vis ited. The crowds stay away from the temple and remain near the buildings which are more familiar to them. When Eccles, who lived 3807 Ojive Street, and was 40 years old, walked out of the United Btates Custom House, where he was employed, he had evidently made up his mind to commit suicide. He bought the re- volver and put it in a shoe box. Then he wrote a note to his sister, Miss Mae wecles, of this city, in which he said the heat was Loo much and that all he had should go to his wife, Z ra. As he drew near the place where he had decided to end his life and stepped inside the Park, his relatives believe he was under great mental strain and wandered around seeking a place to end his life, It was then he came upon the secluded shrine and eat down before the Japanese * (God of War '’ and blew his head off. The letter which he wrote to his sister said :— “Have William Nugent settie up my estate and see that Zora, my wife, gels everything, WILLIAM J. EOCLES, 3607 Olive Street.” “P. 8.~There isa will in my desk and $26.9 in my pockets. Giveltto my wife. Tell Zora, my wife, to rent the house and go home to her people. She has been a good wile, 00 good for me. “This hot spell has got the best of me, 1 hope that you will all forgive me for this ac*, but 1 can’t shake this spell off. Have me buried in mother’s grave and then forget me. Love {(sall * Zora, go home to your people and forget and torgive me, WILL." The suicide’s widow Is prostrated. His relatives say there is nothing to be said further than what Ecoles wrdte in the note he left. Miss Mae Eooles sald ber brother had been perfectly happy until the heat wave came to Philadelphia and drove him mad. He could not sleep. He had often complained of the hot weather, but he never intimated that be intended to kill himself. When he left his house yesterday morning to £0 to work he was perfectly sane, ARM SAA Reporter Register, T. W. Smith, Morganza Mazie EK. Homan, Spring Mills W. E. Detwiler, Spring Mills Mre.

Weil, I could hardly call them hills but they call them that out there. He also took me to see a peppermint farm. It was owned by an oid German who was just beginning to thresh out his wheat crop. Farmers club together here just as they do in butchering time in Penns Valley, and help one another to thresh out their grain. They draw in the grain, { the word Aawl is not used in Michigan ), thresh out the entire crop, and then market it.

My cousin took me through his twelve-acre vine- yard and in the evening to his huckle- berry marsh where 1 gathered a bucket ful of large berries and brought them along to Chicago the next day as a present for my little grandson. 1 wish your readers could see the huckleberry patches in Michigan. The bushes grow to a height of six or more feet, and the berries hang in clusters nearly like grapes. They call them blue berries here, but they are the genuine Pennsylvania berry. The ground being moist and rich the bushes grow taller and the berries larger, We reached Chicago, July 7th.
