Piredor Jacob W. Peck and Attorney
L. C. Col born, of the Iior li rd, visited
Philadelphia last week-for the purpose
of consulting with the Slate liiard of
Lunacy in regard to erecting an addition
to the County Hospital. Toe plans and
peci5calioas drawn by Architect Stod
dard were approved, after a few minor
changes suggested by the Bard of Lun
acy, had leen made, Arrangemeuu were
made for taking care of all the county's
chronic iusane at home immediately after
the new building has been finished.
A jury of six men who sat at the oCiee
of John U. Soott, Esq., one day last week
to inquire Into the mental condition of
Joel Miller, Jr.. of Greenville township,
who, it is alleged is iucapable of looking
after bis estate, was a remarkable gath
ering in at b ast one respect, theoombtued
age of the jury aggregating MM years, or
an average of 11 years each. The gentle
men composing the jury were Major
John M. Holderbamii, Alexander Beu
ford, Joiiah II. Pisel, Samuel P. Snyder,
William B. Coffroth and Jacob Fleck.
While returning from a vinit Monday
to a patient at S:nd PaU h the team of
Dr. Bruce Licbty, of Meyersdale, became
ungovernable and so badly damaged I he
biiggy that it could not be nsed. The
Poctor and his driver, Charles Scott,
w alked to Sand Patch, where they board
ed a train. Upon their arrival at Meyers
dale Scott fell between the cars, which
had not come to a standstill, and the
wheel-tore his left arm otf close to the
shoulder joint, and bruised him so severe
ly about the head and chest that his re
covery is doubtful.
The Bellefonte Watchman" alleces
that the Commissioners of Centre county
report daily at their office merely for the
purpose of drawing f 10 jO per diem,
whereas the actual public duties they dis
charge could easily be performed in two
days of ea: h wek. and presents figures
to show that one-fourth of the county's
gnss income is expended in handling the
fuuds. A similar slate of affairs exist
in this ouuty, and judging from the
number of d ys put in by our Commis
sioners la-st year it will s-irprise nooneif
the "sham reformers" make an effort to
have the calendar extended.
Tbe old Coleman residence, about half
way between Sjinersetand Berlin, on the
plank road, was burned to the ground be
tween two and three o'clock last Wedues
day afternoon. The property was recent
ly vacated by D. P. McAllister aud family
and was being repaired by the owner
Frank Weimer, of Somerset who had
expected to move into it Thursday or Fri
day. Mr. Weimer, accompanied by his
sister and several other ladies, drove out
to the place Wednenday morning, and at
that time there was no fire in the bouse.
A watchman slept in the house every
night aiuce the McAllister family moved
out. The fire was undoubtedly the work
of an incendiary, who did hia work so
carefully thai no cloe was left. Theprop
erty was insured for Jl.m. about one half
its value. Mr. Weimer recently sold his
S merset residence to Sheriff HartzelL
Austin Friedline's planing mill at Mey
ersdale was entirely destroyed by fire be
tween the hours of two and three o'clock
Saturday pjorning. The flre companies
responded promptly to the alarm, lut be
fore they could make h'jse connections,
the flames had gotten beyond hope of
control, and the streams of water thrown
upon the burning building went up in
steam. Tbe Friedline mill is said to have
bon the mofct complete mill in the coun
ter, having been equipped with modern
machinery. The machinery alone is re
p rted to have eot letween $7,0u0 and
f X0, w bile the building and stock were
yaned at from Jo)0 to 1,000 additional.
Oiving to the high rate exacted by insu
rtuce associations for risks of this char
acter, Mr Friedlino carried only tl 5"0
Insurance on the property destroyed.
The reflection of the dimes in tbe sky
w seeu by a number of residents of
Somerset,
George B. Keim, a former principal of
tbe Somerset schools, but now engaged
in the real estate and iiisaram-e business
at Elkins, We-t Va., was here last week.
Mr. Keim tells us that West Virginia
ro-v has a la- which compel fire insnr
rnce companies to pay the full amount of
their policies lieu the property ioT;d
is destM.yed. This will cause insurance
ompauies and their agents V le more
ctreful iu placing policies end will be a
gusrautee to the insured that he will pet
his money without legal content, if a
low occurs. I nsn ranee adjusters" have
a better opportunity to g"t at the true
value of property before risk is taken
thn they hive after the property is de
stroyed If only the proper amount of
I isu ranee were carried upon property
there would be fewer iueeuJiary Urea.
Such a law is a protection not only to tbe
insurance companies but to honest prop
erly holder. Pennsylvania sh uld have
a similar law.

Demand far Eorsn.
There has not leen such gvd demand
for horses known for years as prevails
this spring. Prices are advancing rap
idly for first class coach, diivingand ri
ding horses, while tbe general increase
in businoss has caused a strong market
for heavy draught horses. The farmers
throughout the central west had to a large
extei t given i:p the raising of horses bo
cause of the low prices prevailing since
IsHJ. Tbo supply i'f cxk1 horses b n.it
rijiial to (he present demand. Statistics
gathered ly reliable horsemen indicate
that the farmers throughout Pennsylva
nia, Ohio, Indiana and Illinois have only
a few horses to sell. They have made lit
tle effort to raise more than enough ani
mals for theirown use for the ra.vs.iu that
they have not been able during the last
five years to realize enough or. their ani
mals to pay for tbe trouble of breeding
thein. Horses are now selling from 4(1 to
.V) per cent, higher than they were three
years ago. It is said that there is a short
age of MJ.fmO horses in Ohio alone, and
that there are not enough iu that State to
supply the demand, without figuring on
the market outside of Slate boundaries.
Prices are not goiug to drop soon when
it is considered that it bikes four or live
years to bring a horse to a marketable
age. Ev erything points to higher prices,
and owners cf dirable animals need not
fear but that they will be able to get good
p rices.
Seven Moathi School Term.
Governor Stone has signed the bill ex
tending tba minimum public school
term in Pennsylvania to soreii months,
one month longer than at preseul. Tbe
new law g'ies into effect after the close of
the school year, which euds the first
Monday of the coming June.
School directors and controllers, begin
ning with the next term, will be required
to keep the schools under their charge in
peration at leat seven mouths iu each
year, except in such ilistricts where the
maximum amount of the tax allowed by
the law to be levied for school purposes,
together with the amount of State appro
priation to which the said districts are
entitled, thall be found iusulSeient to
keep the schools open a greater length of
time than six months.
The bill was introduced by represent
ative Todd, of Lawrenoe, chairman of the
House Committee ou Education. Efforts
to make the minimum term seven
months have been made iu evety Legis
lature for the last 25 years.
Censoi District! for 19J3.
Director Merriam, of the Census Bureau
at Washiugton, has divided the United
States into three hundred districts for con

Pennsylvania ooastiiutes nineteen of

A Hooversville oirrespondont write as
follows in the Johnstown Democrat, Mon
day : Tbe people of Hooversville are
about over their smallpox scare, Tl wa
lumored iu SLcyestown that there are SO
cases of the dread disease in our town.
This ia untrue and we would be pleaded
to know from what source they get their
information. There were two familie
affected with some skin disease when the
health officers investigated. But at this :
wriliug there is but otie family afflicted, i
Peter Bnyer, who, H was claimed by the
heaith officers, was in a serious condition, '
is getting along very nicely and expects ,
to get o-it next week. Samuel Gindle
sperger's family is well. Mr. Giudle-
sperger went to the wor.ds this morning'
to haul logs. Dr. 1. C. Barlott did not di
xguoae the ensea as smallpox, as; was tlat- j
-li - r r f 1 1 I '
oi iy stiiiio irrious wriicr, fie cauea
the disease pustular oontsgious disease.
The majority of the citizens do not be
lieve there is a single case of smallpox in
town. If the above named persona bad
smallpox there would be very few- fami
lies in our town that would not have it, is
quite a number of persons went to e.-e
both families while they were sick. 7t
was reported in several papers that Peter
Boyer'a case was a serious one, but they
failed to mention th it he was able to wait
on himself the w hole time he was sick.
Since all of our sick are able to be out
again and there are no new cases added
to the sick list, we feel confident that
there has not been one case of smallpox
in our brwn, although Borne of our prom
inent doctors diagnosed several cases as
smallpox. The symptoms are the same,
while the blossoms are not. The disease,
what ever it may bo, is very mild and
only in mse of exposure does it be
come more severe.
1B, BARIX.TT'S STATKMENT.
Dr. I. C. Uailott, of Hooversville,
writes to the Democrat as follow : "We
ar) about over our smallpox. We will
open our churches and Stinduy schools.
We think it is not uecessary foi the post
mnster of Slauum's Mills to have the
mail route changed from Hooversville to
Holsopple. Ho will not get the smallpox."

It has been so long since anything has
appeared in the county press from this
village, formerly known as Jenner X
Roads, situated in tbe centre of a great
Republ" can stronghold, that I have con
cluded to contribute a few items to the
paper that has a larger circulation in this
district than all of the other county
papers combined.
Jenners as it is now known on the
potsl map has two of tbe best general
stores iu the county. The establishment
conducted by Jacob Hoffman fc Sons
was founded ti years go by the late Ed
mund Kieruan, w ho w as succeeded by
Register aud Recorder James M. Cover.
During its long career this store has oc
cupied an enviable position and the
Messrs. Hoffman declare that it shall
lose none of its prestige while it con
tinues under their mansgement.
J. A. Risicger is the proprietor of the
seoond large mercantile establishment,
which was founded by himself aud a
partner. J.J. Mishler, who retired from
business several years ago. Risinger is a
hustler and dispenses justice in connec
tion with merchandise.
Our two large furniture stores would be
a credit to towus many times the size of
Jenners. TbeSomerse tlreet store was
established 50 years ago by Henry Hoff
man and is now conducted by Isaac
Friedline. Graham Hoffman, a son of
Henry, conducts the other establishment,
and it is up to dale.
Jenners supports three blacksmith
shops, w here the ring of the hammer
aud anvil can be heard at all hours of
the day, a splendid evidence that the pro
prietors are kept busy and are good me
chanics, who can make any and every
thing in their line.
Two planing mills furnish finished
lumber and building materials for the
people of this vicinity and adjoining dis
tricts. A thoroughly equipped Elgin butter
faetory churns the farmer's, cream into
gilt edged table butter and furnishes a
hame market for tbe dairy.
Two steam chopping mills have been
erected since the holidays and both are
doing a prosperous business.
Robert Shanlis, the jeweler and watch
maker, keeps tbe family clocks and
watches in repair and has been instru
mental iu preserving the peace in nuraer
o" s household s, where tbe head of the
establishment has learned to rely on his
chronometer instead of the autiqnaled
dinner belL
Because four physician are located
bre is no reason why Jenuers should be
looked upon as being an unhealthy town)

STEPS TAXES 70 STAX? OUT THE
DISEASE.
Reports of a startling character come
from Windber relating to the i piJetuic of
funaiipox at that place. Careful investiga
tion by Johnstown aod Windber physi
cian ha disclosed W casf of smallpox
r-d fct b ast jd in th. Cam
bria county town of Scalp Level.
One death from smallpox occurred Mon
day night, Tbe Windber public chools
have been ci.sed, although the term
would have come to n end iu nine days.
Jacob AV. Peck aud Mantisse Shoe
maker visited Windber Monday after
noon and held a consultation with Br
wiud White officials, citizens and physi
cians. Director Adam S. Miller was una
ble to attend the meeting on account nf
sickness.
It was finally decided that General
Manager Cunningham, of the Berwind
Whlle Company, should appoint neces
sary deputies to guard the infected houses,
purchase needed supplies, and use every
means in his discretion to stamp out the
disease, the Poor Directo,- agreeing to
defray the expense of only such patients
as are in indigent circumstances aud after
they have obtained warrants from the
county authorities. Mr. Cunningham
will have a new pestbouso erected, to be
much larger thau the one built several
weeks ago. It will have quarters for 20
patient with rooms set apart for house
keepers and nurses.
One report from tbe infected district
says that no trains will be run over tbe
Scalp Level branch of the Pennsylvania
railroad until the disease has been gotten
under control and that a rigid quarantine
w ill be established by the people of the
surrounding country.
A correspondent writing from Felix
iays that the repo't sent out from there
slating that a man named Seese and nine
children were afflicted with a skin dis
ease, suspected of being amallMx, was
unfounded, since Mr. Seese has only three
child ren.
Now that smallpox has made its ap
pearance in Somerset county It devolves
upon the Board of Health to take Imme
diate step to prevent the disease from
reaching this placo.
"GO TELL AUHT BiSCT."
Five Gray Cette Belonging to a Farmer
Shot by Local Sportsmen.
The long aud uninterrupted friendship
existing between a Somerset township
farmer and a well-known mechanic, of
this place is said to have been tha ouly
oljstacle in the way of an interesting suit
at law, which would bave involved at
least two other well-known gentlemen,
and would have compelled the court to
pass upon the right of sportsmen to
slaughter domestic fowls when under the
impression that they are shooting legiti
mate game, as well as to interpret other
obscure features of the game laws of
Pennsylvania.
Tbe condition last Saturday morning
were such as to tempt indifferent shots,
to say nothing of those who qualified a
marksmen in Uncle Sam's volunteer ar
my, to visit the creek circling the eat
end of town, which was swollen tieyoud
its bauks by recent showers, in search or
wild ducks and wild geese. The crack or
numerous old muskets and shot guns
told them that the h ghly prized web
footed fowi were a-wing aud traveling
towards their summer homo in the north,
and, therefore, it is not surprising that
two of the gentlemen above referred to
were seen in the gray mist of early morn
ing stealthily picking their steps along
the sinuous stream. A mile north of
town they descried four ot jcw graceful
ly gliding through the water, obscured
now and then by clump of bushes that
grow along the banks. A whispered
word of caution from the one in advance
and the hunters dropped on their knees
and in this position moved slowly aud si
lently npon tbe unsuspecting fowls. Sud
denly a third hunter appeared, partly con
cealed behind the brush ahead, and by bis
side was seen a fine big goose. It was a
question now of who could lire first to
kill the four geese in the stream aud the
Somerset sportamen banged away simul
taneously with their double-barreled shot
guns, with the result that the geese
dropped their heads aud floated lifelessly
with the current. It required only a few
minute to recover the gme and pass a
string between their bills, and shortly
afterwards the Somerset sportsmen were
retracing their steps each carrying a
brace of geese over his left shoulder.
And maybe they were tit proud of their
success, if for no other reason than tbe
fact that wild geese rarely visit the
streams of this region and stories of their
having beeu shot hereibouts are oo p. fined
to a select few fishermen. The eports
men came marching into town with an
unmistakable air that spoke louder than
any words they might have uttered and
triumphantly deposited their trophies on
tbe scales in Zeigler A Parson's meat
market. After it was ascertained that
the four geese weighexl 3$ pounds they
were suspended on hooks in front of the
shop, where they attracted the attention
of all who passed by. Many of those
who inspected the fowls gravely shook
their heads, and one oki farmer wra
heard remark "that is the kind of game,
these w ild turkey hunters shoot in my
barnyard."
Shortly after 10 a. in. our Somerset
township farmer friend drove around tbe
First National Bank corner. The geese
came in bis line of vision. Promptly be
drew rein and dismounting from his
wagon made straight tor tbe bulcber
sbnp, where be demanded to know "Who
killed my geese?" He identified each
one of tbe four by peculiar patches of
brown feather marking their backs and
crests, and then turuing to one of the
fowls pointed oat where he bad cut ii-s
left wiug in order to better identify it,
But where i the old ganderT" he con
tinued in an argry lone, "I've fed him
for full fifteen years and he knows my
voice and cornea wheu I call."
The aged farmer's rage was mollified
when be learned that hi favorite gander
had been shot by a neighbor and that the
other fowla had suffered a similar fate at
the bands of two local hunters, one of
whom ia a fast friend, and that all had
been killed under the mistaken notion
that they were wild geese. The hunter
paid a round sum for the fowls, and would
cheerfully pay treble that amount if they
could escape from the laugh the boys
bave on them.
Futnr of tha Bicycle.
It is agreed by all bicycle manufacturers
that the .J models represent tbe perfect
wheel. Improvement seems to be impf.s
aibie. Precisely the same thing is true
of Hostetter's Stomach BiUers. It repre
sents the limit of science in overcoming
disease, and it ia impossible to make a
better medicine for the stomach, liver,
kidneys and blood. A few doses of tbe
Bitter will start weak, nervous aod
bloodless people oo the road to strengi h.
A regular cui rve of treatment will bring
back tbe pink to the cheeks and sparkle
tithe eye. Sleep will ivinie naturally,
and it will be refreshing and healthful.
Pyspepala, Indigestion aud eon sup lion
will be completely banished, and tbe
blessings of true" health bestowed.
Never take a substitute for this perfect
remedy.

FIG5TI53 THE FILIPINOS.
''Soldier Joe" Write, Describing Stirring
( Scene ia and A round Manila.
Masila. P. I. Feb. 21, L.
It was General Sherman who observed
"War is hell," and tbo statement is as
true now as when the grizzled old w ar
rior uttered it, especially when war is
being w aged in a hot climate like this.
Here we bave to deal with people who
are only half civilized, treacherous, and,
it is scarcely necessary to add. devoid of
all knowledge or respect for the law of
moderu w hi fare, not even showing re
spect for a Hag of tru'-e w hich they hang
in front of their "shacks'' and h.t from
Ixjhind it. Thi is not rnly the case in
Manila, but out on the firing Hue ax well,
aud this fact has made the presout war
more cruel than it otherwise would be,
because it has rendered imperetive the
burning of hundreds of native huts and
driving tbe occupants into the world to
light against starvation, anil probably
causing the death of many inuocent peo
ple. Building are burued every day
after it h:is been ascertained that they
g ive shelter to insurgent spies, and in
return the insurgent sympathiser hive
burned buildings in the heart of tbe city
in attempts toiirhe the American fi.rcfs
out. Fires bave broken out in the vicini
ty of headquarter several times, and
only night before last we had everything
packed up ready to move, but afteran all
night fight the fire was conquered just
before tbe ll.uiics reached our building.
There is great d.ngr on afount of the
narrow streets and the iollaoiin it.le char
acter ol tbe buildings, together with an
inullidcnl tire department.
The native are so treacherous that
desperate means have to be resorted to,
and many unpleasant duties fall to the
lot of the troops. Erery person must be
off the streets at 7 o'clock in ton evening
or take bis chances of being killed.
Strict order have ben issued to kill
every insurgent seeu on top ofa building
or acting in a suspicious manner after
dark, and it is needl-.- to a l l that w hen
an iuaiirgont makes a "croked" move
he is not given time to ay "Jack Robin
son." The soldiers w ho are policing the
city bave as hard work as, if not more try
ing than their comrades on the firing line,
as the iiisurgeul sympathisers resort to
all kind of means to smuggle arms
thnnigh the linK. Ytslerd ty i prison
ers were taken in the city and !) ius.ur
were killed. Houses are searched every
day w ith plenty of success f..r arms and
ammunition, many of tbem U ing rtgular
arsenals, with knives, predominating
among the weapons. And so it goes
every day murder, killing na!ive, and
tires until one gets wesry. We can hold
our lines extending twenty miles against
all of the Filipinos on the island.
Up to this time the volunteers have
been in tbe front of the fighting aud ail
talk cf their wanting to come home is
"bosh." The prai.se the Tenth has receiv
ed from the commanding General shows
that we bave lieen doing our share, and
are ready to do still more. I believe that
not less than 10,im tnsurgiiu have been
killed, wounded and taken prisoner sinco
the trouble w ith them began, but it is
altogether prolable that three tiling that
number w ill suffer a similar fate before
peace is restored.
