A Town Council is an town and in the early morning | august body of great deliberation, hours of Wednesday every imagine | able vehicle from the “one hoss shay” to the elegant carriage brought its load of visitors to see the great show. Rosy cheeked coun- | last he took the pictures of not less try lassles with their escorts, ven- erable old men and women verging on the eighties, babies, cats tumbled into the old town, Be- fore 9 o'clock Millheim was packed as it never had been before, every avallable space being occupied Shortly after 9 o'clock the parade began to form, Capt. O, W. Van Valin, marshal, and his assistants, 8. D. Musser, George Ulrich, D. 8, Kauffman, Charles Musser, Milton Musser, Charles Wiser, Clymer Mus- ser Robert Crawford and Samuel Ulrich soon got the great procession into line. Adolph Miller, a venerable old gentleman, and who first sug- gested the celebration, accompanied by Dr. George 8. Frank and Cash- ler Walter headed the procession, while following them came twelve ploneers armed with axes. The Mill- heim band in Continental dress fol- lowed; a wagon load of captured Indians came next, Willlam Smith | i | dogs and | slow to move and likely always to move in the wrong direction, Belles photograph gallery is the place to see bables.

John Miller, repre- senting George Washington, was ac- companied by his staff on horse- pack. The second division was mar- shaled by Charles Musser, The Bellefonte Band was with this di- vision and escorted President Cleve- land (Pierce Musser). Thirteen beautiful young ladies represented the original States. The Goddess of iiberty (Mrs. Jasper Stover) follow ed in a canopled wagon. The God- dess was accompanied by four young ladies. Next came an immense wa- gon drawn by six horses, in which were thirty-eight young ladles rep- resenting the thirty-eight states of today. All were dressed In white. The Millheim Hook and Ladder Company with its beautiful truck, followed. The third division was made up of industrial displays and was certainly very cerditable. After passing over a route the parade dis- banded and the tired and hungry paraders sought rest and refresh- ment. In the afternoon Mr. C. K Sober gave an exhibition of his skill in shooting. Addresses were made by W. K. Alexander, John B. Linn, J. L. Spangler, and R. A Cassidy On the speakers’ stand sat the ven- erable Mrs. Kramer, now the oldest living person who was born in Mill- heim. She is in her 96th year. In the evening a torchlight procession and fireworks brought the exercises to & close. It is estimated that from four to five thousand strangers were in town for the event all sections of the county being represented The first centennial of Millheim is over. Who can tell what the next hundred years may bring for her? | About two months ago Engineer Batts startled the residents of East Curtin street with an actual sur- vey of the street.

Taylor, according to the story of Harry Hockenberry, one of the em- ployes, alleged to be at the head of the strike proposition, struck the latter, who retaliated by striking with a vicious blow and was then choken by R. B. Taylor. The affair was later amicably settled.

Sometime biotting paper that has been in a boric acid solution is worn in the shoes with benefit, It is an interesting fact that leather absorbs the fumes of cer- tain vapors. If the shoes are left for 80 hours in a closed box that containg a small dish of formalde hyde, they will absorb the vapor which kills the germs in the shoes. These shoes protect the feet from the disease, and they often get well with no further treatment, for the shoes give off the formaldehyde vapor which is disinfectant and healing.
