UNCLE SAM might as well furnish a hoise and wagon to take the mails to the postoffice now located up town. Since thieving and fraud has been un- earthed in every part of the postal ser. vice, that much of the money would be usefully applied and escape the hands of the plunderers. —————————————— SENATOR Quarles, of Wisconsin, is cutting bay. Some other Senators are busy “mending fences.” Others are sat isfied with cutting coupons. And to this the Democrat would add, that quite a lot of other fellows connected with the post office department at Washington bave been discovered swindling Uncle Sam out of thousands of dollars planting fraudulent contracts. These fellows are the only “farmers” who are enjoying prosperity, IT is simply astounding how the gov- ernment postoffice department is saturat ed with corruption. And this under the pose and big spectacles of President Roosevelt. For a long time parties close to the administration sought to keep the scandal from getting out— but it did get out and into the pews- papers. While postoffices are being robbed in many sections by burglars the guilty are pursued with a view to bring them to justice. These safe busters get a few bundred of dollars in stamps and cash here and there, like those pow in jail in Bellefonte, and they are dragged into court and given years in the peni. tentiary. That is all right, but the thieves who are defrauding the govern. ment out of millions in the postoffice de- partment are political heelers and pro fessors in ballot box stuffing, bence the party leaders shield them, by perjury screen them, and by packed juries clear them. That's the way the government is run, - ‘‘HE lived seventy years in Bellefonte” is part of the life of our departed towns- | man, Col. George A. Bayard. Seventy years is a pretty long time, and all in this town, would make him familiar with its entire history. In those seventy years there could not have been a citizen who did vot know bim, and was in turn known by him, with no exceptions per. haps. Mr. Bayard in those seventy years saw every residence and other im. provement go up. He witnessed the construction of its half dozen railroads, gas and electric light plaots. He saw all its churches, school houses, hotels, stores, come and go and grow. From a little village seventy years ag, Mr, Bay- ard saw the town and its suburbs grow from a few hundred to about five thous. and in population, In all those years be held the esteem of all Bellefonters, Sociable, public spirited, engaged in use. ful lines of business and every inch a patriot who saw and engaged in many battles for his country, and returned from the scenes of war with honor, and carried its scars to his grave on Tkurs. day last, his death having been caused by the terrible accident along the rail. road near his own home, mentioned else. where. In whatever capacity be served Quring his residence in Bellefonte, he acquitted himself creditably and bore that regard for the rights of a fellow man which is accorded by the true man, The writer knew Mr. Bayard some 45 years, and neyer in that period was there an incident in the life of the decensed, that did pot merit the tribute we here pay to him, Contre Demornat, right | GAME AND FISH LAWS. At the late session of the legislature there were some changes made in the game laws, So far asmay interest sports men in this section of the state, the Cen. tre Democrat summarizes the law as now In force: wild turkey, quail, pheasants and black, gray and fox squirrels may be killed ; woodcock from October 15 to December 15 and during month of July; elk, wild | deer or fawn may be shot in the month November 1 to December 15; rail and fowl, September 1 to May 1; wild pig. within gne mile of nesting grounds, All cluding 'coons and "possums. Under the Act of April 14, 1903, non. residents, kunters and unoaturalized, foreign-born resident hunters, are quired to take out a license before hunt. ing. The fee is fixed at $10 and the li cense is issued by the County Treasurer. | The penalty for violating this law is a | fine of $25. Legal fishing for game fish is restricted | to the use of the rod, hook and line, or to { hand.line baviog not more than three | hooks, or to trolling line with spoon hook. Speckled trout, or California mountain trout, may be taken from April 15to July 31, inclusive ; the legal day's catch is limited to so, and trout | less than 6 inches must not betaken, Lake | or salmon trout may be taken from Janu. ary 1 to September 1, inclusive. Bass of all varities, pike, pickeral, sun. | fish and muscallonge may be taken from June 15 to February 15, inclusive. Black bass must not be taken under seven inches. In the Delaware river and boundry lakes, this limit is increased to nine inches. Other fish are without protection. Sach | protection as was accorded carp, catfish, eels and suckers have been withdrawn by the Act of March 11, 1903, repealing Section g of the Act of May 29, 1901. By the Act of April 6, 1903, bullfrogs and terrapin are placed in the same category with game fishes. The taking of frogs is prohibited save only from July 1 to November 1 to March 18. - A STARTLING decision handed down by Justice O'Gorman, of the New York Supreme Court, which says in effect that | merchants may be made to pay damage if they sell goods upon a misrepresenta { on.

Widows on the pension rolls are | dying at the rate of twenty a day. De. | spite the fact that the Spanish-American war has added thousands of names to the pension rolls and the number of pension | certificates issued for the year ending June 1st, exceed by 11.000 the certifi cates issued for 1902, the losses by death in each of the 18 pension agencies dur. ing the five months from January to | May, inclusive, have been greater than the gains through the addition of new names, David Allison, who lives alone on his farm about 2 miles north-east of Allens. ville, Mifflin county, was aroused from slumber by the bursting in of his door. He had time only to attain a sitting pos- ture when three men threw themselves on him and a lively scuffle ensued. He was gagged and bound to the stove and | bed clothes heaped on him. The rob. bers then began their search. They | found about fifteen dollars in cash. Next morning a visitor found him and after releasing him secured a physician to at. | tend him. He was rather badly batter. | ed on the face and head.

The insurance of the lives of women and the employment of women as so licitors by insurance companies is a comparatively new idea, but it has be come very popular and Is growing rapidly. There are probably 1.000 wo. men in the United States today who make thelr living in the Insurance busi. ness and they have been so successful In securing business and earning large commissions that It may already be considered an established profession, and women losurance agents will here after work on the same terms and under the same conditions as men. The big life Insurance companies here all have women solicitors and the man agers are unanimous In commending them.

One element antagonizes the United States having perpetual control, another that an indemnity and annuity is not suffi- clent, and the third element consists of revolutionary spirits who fear that with the Colombian treasury enriched with $10,000,000, the government's strength will be 80 increased as to de- stroy any hope for the revolutionary movement, Dr. Herran, the Colombian charge d'affaires, Is without official informa tion regarding the attitude of the ma- jority of the members of the congress, When the Colombian congress con- venes there will be just one month for the consideration of the treaty and such other matters as may be called before it, as the regular session meets July 20, If the president sends the treaty to congress first, under Colom- bia’'s rules of procedure noc other sub- Ject can be consiuered until that is dis- posed of. Reorganization of the finan- ces of the government is the next most important matter for the Colombian government, and the question will have an important bearing on the canal treaty, the $10,000,000 to be paid by the United States being tempting.

Among the important additions made 10 medical science in recent years, none 's more potable than the positive an- pouncement of a cure for hay fever | While this disease is not regarded as fatal, it iscertainly a most distressing | malady, and if anything can be devised {10 cure it, a great boon will be conferred | upon the human race. | Exbaostive experiments with Hyomei prove that this treatment will prevent all {attacks of hay fevers if used two or | three weeks before the annual appear- { ance of the disease and that it may be { relied upon if used faithfully after the | disease has begun, to relieve at once and | afford a speedy cure | Sidney Krumrine has sold hundreds of Hyomei outfits for the treatment of dis. eases of the respiratory organs under the agreement to refund the money if Hy. omei did net afford relief, In selling Hyomel for the cure of hay fever, he will comtinve this equitable plan, and wanis all who are subject to this distressing malady to begin its use at once, with the understanding that if it does not give satisfaction, the purchase price is to be refunded Stomach dosing cannot cure hay fever. A change of climate is the only treat ment that has heretofore avoided an at. tack, and Hyomei, which is breathed through a neat pocket inhaler coming with every outfit, acts upon this princi pal, giving in your own home a climate like that of the White Mountains or other health resorts.
