Andrew G. Curtin, who held a governors’ meeting | at Altoona, Pa. on September the 24 | and 25th, 1862, which was regarded as one of the most important events of | the Civil War. At the recent meeting | it was thought that the best way to commemorate this event would be to place a bronze tablet in the office of the Logan House Commitees were appointed to devise some way to car- ry ont the plans. Last week this memorial committee held another enthusiastic meeting at the Logan House, every member being | present. Willlam F. Gable, of Altoona, ! presided, and he submitted plans for a memorial hall ‘0 be built of marble, in which a bust of Curtin and war | relics might be Kept on exhibition. | The sum of $250,000 to $300,000 was suggested as the amount to be raised; that the states represented be asked to contribute at least $10,000 and that voluntary subscriptions be also ac- cepted. Andrew Carnegie’'s name came before the meeting and the suggestion was put forth that he be notified of the movement, in the be- lief that he might aid the project. The correspondence commities was iastructed to communicate with the adjutant generals of the various states which were represented at the meeting to start the ball rolling toward securing ald they represent in the establishment of the memorial. The commitiee was also instructed to write to ex-Govern- or Willlam Sprague, of Providence, R. 1, to ascertain if he will receive a delegation of the general commit- tee and give the members a per- sonal account of the famous meet- | ing. The publicity commitiee was also instructed to have the accounts of the meeting as found in the Life | of Governor Curtin and in Colonel | McClure's letters published in pal from the states poh baud Hs is planned that the memorial be | dedicated on the fiftieth anniversary ! of the meeting in 1912. Every effort is being made to make it a national | event and to make the dedication of the memorial one of the biggest and most patriotic ever held in this sec- tion of the state The committee plans that the country shall take part in the event, especially the seventeen states represented at the meeting Looters Rout Postmistress. Miss Pearl Keyser, acting as post. mistress at Mainville, Columbia coun- ty, has decided that she has had enough of the job and on Friday, in- stead of sending in her bonds for the position of postmistress, to which she was recently appointed after a civil service examination, sending in notice that under no consideration will she hold down the job Thurs- day night, for the second time, bur- glars ransacked the office and made a she is on Jafe get-away with a considerable sum in cash and stamps When the office was burglarized several weeks ago, after she had as sumed charge as acting postmistress, cash and stamps to the value of $20 were taken. That meant the profit of the office for several months Thursday night's burglary for sever. al times that amount, was the straw that broke the camel's back Burglar Amazes Officer. Early on Friday morning a lone burglar effected an entrance into the large confectionery store of Fallon Brothers, at Danville, and In the glare of an electric Hght calmly pro- ceeded to take apart the cash register The night watchman, thinking it was the proprietor preparing to open up, stepped Inside with the remark that It was rather early to begin business The burglar, stooping further over the register, replied that it was “rather early.” and proceeded to extract sev. eral more screws before he aroused the suspicions of the watchman, At the watchman's demand to surrender, he turned out the light, and walking out of the front door, got away. Not All Wild Turkeys. According to the statement of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Guneallus, who farm on the ridge opposite the bridge In Liberty township, not all of the turkeys that come to town are wild turkeys, as represented, as they claim to have lost two of the nicest of their flock on Friday, the opening day of the season, says the Lock Ha- ven Express, Election Day Nov. 2nd.
