The committee. men of the several precincts and wards | will take notice hereof and fix the bour or time for the holdirg of these caucuses. | Instructions and blanks will be received | by committeemen in due time. } Joux J. Bower, Chairman REMEMBER the caucus Saturday, the 25th. The caucus meetings take place on Friday. meelings on republican Ex-Goverxor Hastings and John Hamilton have been placed as vice presi. dents on the State board of agriculture. A good joke, but won" sleep together v —— A NUMBER of changes were made the past week in the list of Democratic coun. ty committeemen. These men are pected to hold the local caucus meetings on Saturday. €X- - REMEMBER that Saturday is the day for holding the Democratic caucuses over the county. It is important to go to these caucus meetings and see that only good men are placed in nomination. - We learn that C. E. Rummel], of Springfield, Mass., and Miss Claire Cald- well, daughter of Hon. and Mrs. S. Woods Caldwell, of Altoona, were mar. | ried in New York city, December 24, | 1901. RoosEvELT denies that he intends to remove bolters and independents from | office. He says be wants good and com. | petent men, regardless as to their being bolters or stalwarts. So the insurgents | can rest easy about it. — - THE State election in Pennsylvania in November will be fer Governor, Lieu- tenant-Governor, Secretary of Internal Affairs, Senators from the even.-number- ed districts, members of the State House of Representatives and members of Con- gress, AT the annual meeting of the State Agricultural society held in Harrisburg, on Tuesday, former Gov, Hastings was elected as ome of the association Vice Presidents and Prof. John Hamilton was chosen with (jv. Stone as Vice Presi. dents-at-large. This makes a delightful collection, birds of variegated plumage. Tux number of public sales among farmers, the coming spring in this coun- ty, is likely to exceed that of any previ. ous year. Farmers are discouraged over the unremunerative outcome of their occupation. This is to be regretted, since the farmer is the one who should be prosperous above all others, Pros perity for the farmer brings prosperity to all other pursuits, In the matter of increase of population in the different portions of this country the inevitable has come, and it is wel. come. The South is reported by the Director of the Census to have shown during the last decade, relatively a great. er rate of increase in pooulation than either the North or the West. The awakening of Southern epergy, the re. storation of self-confidence and the stim. ulation of ambition, and the consequent spread of industry, have at last brought {| 000 a month, erable body of Americans try to live STORY OF JACOB AND DANIEL. Our stalwart blacksmith in the South ward got it in the neck from headquart. ers. Last year he had considerable sport with the republican county chair. man and the General when he was ask. ed to organize his ward ferninst the Quay gang, 'he informed them was one of the gang and all the persaa- sion possible could not budge Jacob. His blacksmith shop soon became a Quay re. treat where all forms of pernicious ac tivity prevailed and schemes were hatch- ed to the great injury and annoyance of Daniel. That was Jacob's time, and he had his day. The list of republican com- mitteemen, recently published, shows that Jacob, the stalwart, has had hs head lopped off, and John Houser was he ap pointed in his place, in whom the insur- gent crowd are certain of their That Jacob's man. fixed y is the stury of how Daniel clock, and did it «flectuall A SMART GAME, Some of the politicians in this town, who are interested in the re-election of Steward Brouse, for overseer of the | poor, seem to be unduly anxious to med. dle in the democratic primaries for the purpose of setting up some one who will either sell out or be an easy opponent and insure Mr, Brouse's re-election. We firmly believe, for good reasons, that if the democrats put in pomination some substantial, reliable man who will command the confidence of the people that he can be elected, not because he is a democrat but because he is a good man for an office that has proven 50 ex. pensive to this borough and is open to so many abuses, There are plenty of good men to fill this position. THE COST OF WAR. It was stated this week, in the debates in the House of Representatives, that the | war in the Philippines had already cost { this government §300,000,000 and that it | was now costing at the rate of f12,000,- More than one-half of the American army is there and the expenses of transportation across the Pacific have been enormous. The expenditures of the civil establishment are large, and the total swells until we have discussions as to whether or not the government can af. ford to remove the war taxes, which Re- publicans want to do largely because of part necessity. iready the pension claims are mounting up and the increase is bound to goon as louvg as any consid. ia that climate, Qy ix of shades of opinion on mos{ other su! jects, Western Senators varying but of one opinion on the subject of the need of national aid for irrigation, have formed a compact organization havieg for its bill River and Harbor bil slogan “No irrigation , BO These Senators take the broad ground that if the Nation- al Government can properly make im mense appropriations in order to insure a certain depth of water on the sand-bars and in the harbors along the coasts, it can with equal propriety help to make water lands of the West, thereby increasing their value and rendering them capable of cultivation This legislative league has practically agreed on a measure which will be presented to Congress for its ap- proval, and the members threaten that if it is not passed the River and Harbor bill which the House Committee now framing will be in danwer of meeting in flow over the and irrigation is [the Senate the fate which overtook its : predecessor in the last session of the last Congress, ‘ The December Rains. During the heavy rainfall, Dec. 14 and 15, last, the official record for Bellefonte shows a precipitation of 3 40 inches with. in twenty four hours, at Bellefonte, among the largest in the state. Law. renceville had 4 inches; Williamsport 3.09 inches; Dashore 4 04 inches ; Lewisburg 2.25 inches; Lock Haven 292 inches; State College 3.21 inches ; other points in the Susquenanna basin show from .50 to 2.00 inches. In the Delaware basin on the 15 Dec. the record shows 4.25 inches at Mauch Chunk ; 1 10 at Pottsville ; and down to . 30 at other points, the Delaware basin records heavier downpour than the Susquehanna basin, of at least 30 per cent, causing great dam. age in the Lehigh valley, For February Election.

The time to set up candidates to fill the different offices this spring is draw. ing nigh and under the present system bas become a regular farce: the dele. gates are selected the night before, where hardly evough are preseut to organize, | they name each other for delegates and meet the next day pominate each other again as candidates, or in other words set it ap for each other, and there by incompetent persons are placed upon the ticket and elected and thus the tax payers are burdened and the citizens barrassed by unqualified officials. The mode should be charged, the weeting should be held in day time so that old and young could attend, different candi. dates nominated and should be voted for by ballot, by which geod and responsible men would be placed upon the ticket to to be elected who would be qualified and | competent to fill the positions and a sav. ing to the tax payers and a credit to the constituents, Blanchard.
