Until a few weeks ago Miss Elsie Mingle, daughter of Mrs. Tammie Mingle of Bellefonte, resided in Pitts- | burg where she had been employed as Bellefonte: |a domestic While suffering with a severe headache about ten days ago Miss Mingle took what she supposed were migraine tablets as a means of relief. In mistake, however, it devel- oped that she had taken. instead bi- chloride of mercury tablets, a slow but deadly poison. A physician who was summoned administered the usual an- tidotes, but after a few days’ treat- ment Miss Mingle was Informed that her case was hopeless and her death would follow In a short time. A pe- cullarity of this form of poisoning Is the slow manner In which it effects its vietim. Miss Mingle was told by her doctor that she might live three or four weeks, but nothing could be dons to save her, ’ Under these distressing clreum- stances Miss Mingle came to Belle fonte to see her mother, and while here was persuaded to enter the Bellefonte hospital. 8he ontered the institution last Sundby and alnce has shown very favorable symptoms of recovery, although it may take some time to make that fact assured. The physicians at the hospital, who are doing all in thelr power to brin the patient to her normal health, fee confident that their efforts will be successful, 28 Horses Burned in Altoona Fire.

Taylor are Raising Po- litical Hell in the Democratic Party in Centre County---Both Have Been Well Served By Their Party---Both Have Fought Our Party Tickets— The Voters Duty. When the last issue of this paper reached its readers throughout the county, much Interest was aroused over the announcement that the Guffey - ites, in the Democratic camp, were again on the war path, hunting scalps. In our brief announcement we could only deal generally wtih the situation, and define the issue in the contest now on for Democratic State Committee- man from Centre county. Wm. D. Zerby, BEsq., of Bellefonte, had his petition prepared about August 12th and 13th. Up to that time no one was known to be seeking the place, but Mr. Zerby's candidacy provoked the bitter ire of Meek and Taylor, who at once began scouring the woods to find some one who would help them defeat Mr. Zerby, They succeeded, on” about August 16th, in convincing ex-prothonotary W. F. Smith, of Millh¢im, that he was the man to take Zerby's scalp, and thereby Mck the stufin out of the re-organization Dem- ocrats of Centre county. The writer, during the past week, made some inquiry in regard to this uprising In the party, and the following we believe will be a fair presentation of the facts Capable to Act For Himself. When W. D. Zerby, Esq., determined to be a candidate, is not known consulted no one, but, being capable to act for himself, decided to seek honor and, entirely of his own volition, prepared his petition. Mr. Zerby a pronounced re-organizer and as such be stands for and upholds the Dem- ocratic National, State and County orginizations, and supports the Demo- cratic Ticket, as well. From close conlact with and politics in recent years he had ample opportunity study Democratic ma- chines and methods that existed in Penasyivania. Disgusted with what he observed and learned, and backed by the courage of his convictions, he took a pronounced stand for the routing of tie Guffey corrupt machine in Penn- sylvania. He has been open and firm in this stand, and did much effective work In the famous primary contest last all of which explains h) Meek and Taylor now are after Mr. Zer'yy's scalp, which is a fine a good crop of hair over it He the in counts state the Lo VYOur y one with “Watchman” Office. was much commotion summoned in for consu After some deliberation of Centre Hall, was lirst Brungart "smelled a mice’ Commotion at When Zerby's petition was started there “Watchman” office All retainers How slaughter Zerby was the issue one put to work.

He responded, but, not being willing to be a oatspaw (to pull another's chestnuts out of the fire at the great risk of a good scorching, he also wisely conclud- od that it was to his best interests to attend strictly to Philip Meyer's busi- ness—that of selling first class ta Centre people He proved another disappointment Taylor and Schofield-=Scalp Hunters. but not dismayed, the next day Ex-sheriff H. 8 Taylor and Hon. James A. Schofield, of Bellefonle, found it absolutely necessary to attend a picnic near Millheim. Later id the day the petition of Wm. F Smith for Democratic State Committeeman was started, and all solicited, naturally and cheerfully, signed it, Imagining they only were conferring a favor on a townsman and neighbor. On Saturday a prominent Democrat, of Pennsvalley, while in Bellefonte, dedlared that Mr. Smith made the statement that became a candidate upon the direct solicitation of Meek, Taylor and Schofield—the scalp hunters. {This information came from a re- liable man, and Taylor and Schofield weré known to have been on the job all of which explains the underlying motives and purposes of Wm. F. Smith's candidacy —to scalp Zerby and lick the lifg out of the Wilson-Bryan-Guthrie- Palmer Democratic Re-organization moyement that put Jim Guffey, Jim Hall, Charley Brennen, Judge Garman, Waiter E Ritter, Charley Donnelly, P.

Field Larg y Open, Not for a moment would we have anyone believe that “The Centre Dem - cerat” questions Mr. Smith's Hght to be a party to provoking a bitter contest. The field ix Inrge. the way is open, and it is the royal privilege for anyone to present himself as a candidate for any position; all persons, though, have right to inquire into the motives and purposes of a candidate who comes the public seeking an office this issue there is one most the people Every Democrat re-organization mos with the Democratic Smith's Bitter Attitude. Mr. Smith represents opposite sentiment. He denounces all Demo- erats who favored Wm. H. Berry for governor, after the Allentown Conven- tion He assalls all who had anything to do with the re-organization move- ment in the and words can scarcely express his contempt for Wm. Jennings Bryar Hon. A. Mitchell Palmer, Geo. W, Guthrie, etc, who were jeaders in this movement. It is even contended that, like Meek and Taylor in the last campaign, for these reasons, Mr. Smith refused to support Hon R. M. Foster. our regular Democratic nominee for Assembly (If he voted for Mr. Foster we will cheerfully correct the above statement.) Democracy Endorsed Re-Organization. last Gubernatorial election the strength of the re-organization movement in Centre county was practically expressed by a vote in round numbers of 2700 for Wm. H. Berry and 900 for Grim. At the primaries last spring, on practically the same issue for County Chairman, Arthur B. Kim- port, a re-organization candidate, won over W. Harrison Walker, Esq. who was Meek's candidate, by a vote of 1538 to 702. At the same primaries, Meek. on the same issue, as a candidate for National Delegate, was defeated in his own county by Asher Johnson, a perfect stmnger to our people, by a vote of 1273 to 1101 In the face of these facts, we believe the Democracy of Centre county, have plainly shown what the large majority desire. If Meek, Taylor and their followers were true Democrats, and not inspired by seifish motives, they now would respect the wishes of the majority, which is the only foun- dation of a true Democracy, or even a stable form of government, the Were Was and int" ed and to declined Not dismayed summoned to mn ox of to PAROS 1 county Disheartened, he the before In to deceive Zerby is in perfect ing feature-—it will be Impossibis voter can depend on it that Mr ement in Pennsylvania, therefore State and National organizations gratify stands by the harmon) the Btate; In the Continual Warfare injurious, It is reasonable to expect, and demand, that when the first national Dem- ocratic administration in many years at Washington is absorbed in the gi- gantic task of re-organizing the Federal government; that when the De- mocracy of Pennsylvania by representatives elected at the primaries, In convention regularly assembled, has decreed a change in this state, we con- tend, that men who are real Democrats and imbued with real Democratic sentiments now would cease this continual warfare, It reminds us of the constant insurrections and wasteful strifes in poor old Mexico, where the jealous, selfish motives of a few are liable to impair and ultimately destroy the nation Meek and Taylor Disloyal. Has not P. Gray Meek been generously treated by the Democracy of this county and our state during the past fifty years? We think so. How then has he now a valid excuse for opposing a part of the Democratic county ticket last fall, and inspiring another factional fight this year 7 It remains for the individual voter to answer this point at the coming primaries Has not the Democracy of Centre county dealt generously also with Col. Taylor 7 We think so, Of late years he has openly and frequently tried to defeat regular Democratic nominees in this county. He fought J. C. Meyer for Assmebly, and last fall joined the Meeks in thelr movement to defeat R. M. Foster for Assembly and elect Cephas Gramley, a Republican. Tay- lor, in fact, sas tried to run both the Republican and Democratic parties in recent years, but made a bad muss of it. When Wm. D, Zerby was County Chairman he tried to induce Mr. Zerby to betray his party by selling out J. C. Meyer to ecloct R. B, Taylor to the legislature. Zerby refused to follow Col, Taylor in such base treachery, and Col. Taylor's brother was defeated. That accounts for the present fight that Taylor now is putting up against Zerby, for being loyal to his party as County Chairman. Elk County Grease Needed. Another plausible extuse for this contest js: It has been a long dull political season for some chaps—nothing doing. By ralsing a little political hell in the Democratic party in Centre county, they hope to attract Jim Hall's attention in Elk county, and arouse his sympathy in the hope of getting another “slush fund” which they can handle as they see fit. Their affinity for Klik county grease is contagious, and with some has grown into a chon- ie malady. This Is the crowd back of our friend Wm. F. Smith, and we doubt If he fully realizes the situation. The Duty of Every Voter, Bvery voter should study this issue over carefully, and then vote at the coming primaries as his conscience directs—as to what is best for the fu- ture Democracy of Centre county. appropriation for the erection of the bulldings and all the bids received previous to this have exceeded that amount by several thousand dollars.

Eugene | Bonniwell, who had been fighting Pal- mer and the re-organization move. ment and was in touch with the local Gordon-Donnelly Democrats, insis. tently demanded the appointment of another. Before the naming of a postmaster was determined upon, and because he, Bonniwell, could not have his demands Immediately recognized, he prematurely flew Into a violent rage and bitterly denounced the entire Democratic State organization in the papers-~therechy showing great Impa- tence, bad taste, and a lack of com- mon sense. No man has been recommended yet by the State organization for post. master at Kennet Square. Hon. A.
