After an official bas filled one term of | office in an acceptable manner and heen tendered the customary renomination, he has been before the public sufficiently to make a biographical sketch seem superfluous. Oar suject is a native of Ferguson township, where he was horn in 1856, being a son of Gilbert Atchey. He spent his youth om the farm, jast like any other farm boy, working hard much of the time and often cutting up didos at other times ; was not as good as some “real good boys" nor as bad as others—just an ordinary country hos, and the same may be said of him since — a plain, practical, tellow, with a big heart and willing band; ever capable to take care of himself any- where, His education was acquired in the publig schools and the Pine Grove Acad. emmy, where he was recognized as a good student. Here he fitted himself for teaching school which he followed for many years in that community. In Fer. guson twp., he held such local offices as Justice of the Peace and Supervisor By occupation he is a farmer, which he bas followed for years, residing mear Pine Grove Mills. As a candidate for re-election his record the past three years merits consideration. The record shows it and the legal profession attest to it that Mr. Archey is an exceptiopally capable man in that office. He has the lity to comprehend the complex fein that arise in that connection, d his clerical work is peat, tidy and always reliable. Further, he is obliging, courteous and attentive to his duties. every-day Mr. Archey is of a generous disposition, | ready to befriend any one deserving of a kindness. He is worthy of any man’s support. Will Again Use the Portage Road. A force of Pennsylvania engineers was put to work this week on the Portage railroad from Duncansville to Cresson, | It is now definitely known that the com. pany is going to rush the building of this line in order to relieve the Altoona yards. The Petersbarg branch between Alexandria and Williamsburg is about to be straightened to a considerable ex- tent, LY For the amount of money invested it is a question whether any railroad was as soou abandoned as was the New Port- age railroad, and that a movement at least should be now put on foot to reha- litate it, will come as a happy bit of s to many. Built originally by the State of Pennsylvania to keep abreast of the advance in methods of transportation which had rendered those of the Old Portage obsolete, its presence on the field of commercial action was brief, Even its rails were transported to the west and were used on a road which was them being built, It became the property of the Pennsylvania railroad company at the same time us did the canal, Union County Fair Called Of, The Union county fair, that was to come off last week, was called off last y noon. All was in readiness a good fair but rain set in on Wed. y night, and all next forenoon there was a heavy downpour from early in the morning until part of the forenoon, The consequence was that no visitors came, and the prospect was that the rain would continue, as it did and lasted most of Friday.

As the various portions of the Demo. cratic Courty Ticket are well distributed over the county this year, to Philipsburg fell the nomination of John C. Rowe for Recorder, While that jive town is on the extreme end of the county many of ber representative citizens are not generally acquainted over this county. For years this gentleman has been known as an active party worker in Philipsburg, was a delegate to the State Convention recently where he was recog- rized and made a member of the Com: mittee on Resolutions, and alwavs was identified with the party organized in his section. Mr. Rowe was born at Pittsburg, 186, and was not reared in the lap of luxury, as at the early age of g years he began life's battle by working in a glass factory and remained there for three years. He attended school at Springfield several years and then started to learn tailoring and attended schoel at pight. Io 1882 be was married to Martha E. Bond, and can boast of a happy family of six bright boys and girls. Mr. Rowe has followed the tailoring business since his youth, and conducts a prosperous establishment at Philipsburg where he is known as one of the substantial, energetic and trust worthy citizens. He is what is termed a “self-made man” as he has made his way through life successfully by virtue of his own effort. He is one of the com. mon people and is therefore in touch with the great mass of humanity and bas a kind word and glad hand for his fellow man. We have the first criticism to hear of this gestieman from the com munity in which be resides. He is manly, honorable, upright ; he would make an agreeable and obliging official, and truly will appreciate the support of every man who will remember him in | November, —————— Safe Cracking His Profession. Frank Harder, of Lock Haven, is a | professional safe cracker. Safes, like men, women and horses, sometimes be. come sulky and refuse to be accommo dating. The trick of forcing open a safe that plays lockjaw has become a profession, and Harder practices that profession. Among his recent operations on stub. | born locks was opening the big safe for {the Sugar Valley Fire Insurauce com. | pany and the large safe in the office of the Penn's. Railroad at Altoons, This | week he was called to Daaville to open 'a safe for a hardware dealer. The ease | with which the big safes respond to his | gentle persuasion astonished all who see | Harder at work. a | ——— ’ | ] ] Hydrophobia' Among Cattle.

BELLEFONTE, PA., THURSDAY, OCTOBER 2, igo2. | THAT “PENNSVALLEY VOTER.” That persistent correspondent over in Peunsvalley sends us another interesting | letter this week that is too much to the He has some good | point to be omitted, | ideas ; here it is: EuiTor DEMOCRAT : I bear much talk among certain fel | lows as to who your “Pennsvalley Voter’ | | correspondent, the past few weeks, has | been. I don’t see that it matters much | whether I am white or black, Democrat, Republican, Prohibitionist or even Union on their matter where it comes from—truth will prevail. : Do you know I sometimes think the people are not fit to govern themselves, when I recall the recent political history | of this state, | ing farmers, who must rake and scrape | | from year to year to pay taxes, going | | regularly to the ballot box and support. | ing the corrupt ring of politicians who squander this state's money at Harris burg. I wonder if such voters are really honest, and sincere, or too stupid to know what they are doing, er whether it is on account of being slaves of a party | and not independent enough to think for themselves. I can’t understand it. | Quay candidates, so long will Quay and his crowd do as they please. I don’t blame old Quay very much, as be don’t | pretend to be 4 saint, but | do censure good, upright, honest farmers for in. dorsing such business. And as long as | farmers vote that way, farm land will continue to bear the burden of taxation and corporations only about one-third their share. Farmers could stop this if they would oust the gang from office, keep firing men out of office until some one will listen to the farmer's wrongs. | beard this thing explained at the Grange Park and it has kept me thinking day and night, how the farmer is always op- posing himself and then growls at others, Last time we farmers made a big blunder by sending John K. Thomp- son to the Legislature; we know what be did. On the other hana we had the benefit of two hovest men in Wm, C Heinle in the Senate and Wm. Allison in the House. I think it is the duty of every Wwellthinking mao in Peunsvalley and the district to see that Heinle is re- turned. He was (2ithful and deserves it from the people. His opponent is wealthy, grew rich off of a lot of coal land, and Quay wants him to spend enough money to defeat Heinle that is to be Heinle's punishment for being honest the ticket so tier put James B. Strohm on instead. Now personally I could say nothing against James, except that he is what I would call a smooth-bore poli tician. He wants to go to the Legisia- ture for Strohm's sake, He will change political bed fellows right along. He knows mighty well that Quay and his | gang are corrupt ; be knows that he dare not admit it or he will never get another office ; he cares more for his own chances than the interests of the people. That is Jim Strobm, up set, turned inside out it is Strohm first, last, all the time. | Elect him to the Legislature and yom | have no assurance where he stands. | He won't commit himself, oh no! he is | too smart for that. That is what I meant when I said last week that we need more “honest” men and not so many ‘smart’ | chaps at Harrisburg. Let us get rid of | the comstant candidate and perpetual | office holder, | The two democratic nominees for Leg- islature J. H. Wetzel and J. W. Kepler, | have declared themselves as opposed to Quayism in every form. Say about these men all you please, they are bonest, and if elected will not deceive the people. If you like Quay politics and Quay rule vote for Strohm : If you want to oppose Quay and his crowd vote for Heinle, Kep- ler and Wetzel, Of course Schoonover is a Quayite, but from what I learn he will pot get there, He is not the man to go to Harrisburg and the people of Philipsburg will give him his knock-out drops in November, Do you know, I feel it in my bones, since reading the papers of last week, that Pattison will be elected. “PruxsvaLLey Voree."

Lowry has not done a day's work in fifteen years,” of which we have no personal knowledge, and is hardly the correct story. But Mr. Lowry is truly not a laboring man, or as the Gazette says, his “busy hands have known nothing but Aerd labor from youth up.” He is a contractor. He em. ploys men to do carpentering for other people. When carpenters work for Lowry he gets from about 25 to 50 cents a day for each man, as his profit as con. tractor. This is a perfectly legitimate transaction, and the same charges are made by similar contractors in this com. munity, We mention this to show that Mr. Low ry makes bis living off of men who work, and is not an actual man” as has been paraded with so much false sen.
