Wm. R. Miller, Gen'l Manager BIG DEFICIT IN STATE ROAD FOND It is very evident that some of the State roads asked for by counties of Pennsylvania will go begging for sev eral years to come. ludeed it is very donbtful whether all the roads con tracted for will be built, because of the unavailability of funds. The im provements asked by various counties amount to $24. 518,908,whi1e the avail able appropriation is only $5.710,000, letving a deficit of |19,219,258 Out of the original appropriation there was available to June 1, 1907, $3,500,000 The State has paid out on contracts for road construction the sum of sl.- 991,048. The balances unpaid on exist ing contracts amount to $1,580,952, making a grand total of $3,572,000, which is over $72,000 more than the amount available. This sum will have to be paid out of the $1,500,000 which becomes available for use on June 1 of the present year, in order to complete payments ou work already contracted for and In many instances partly con structed. In a statement giving a list of coun ties, the total number of feet applied for, the approximate cost of construc tion, the amount available to June 1, 1909, and the deficiency Montour aud nearby counties show as follows: Montour applied for, 101,308 feet; approximate, S2O-2,616; amount avail able, $44,188; deficit, $178,477. Lycoming, applied for 263,773 feet; approximate construction, $527,524, amount available,sllo,Bß3; deficiency, $417,162. Columbia, applied for, 109,580 feet; approximate, $219,160; amount avail able, $72,439; deficit $146,720. Northumberland applied for 203,828 feet; approximate. $407,656; available, $72,406; deficit, $335,249. The Annual Cleaning Up. The melting snow reveals many un sightly places and has brought about the usual conditions incidental to spring. After a siege of winter such as we have passed through, one feels that any change would be agreeable that would eliminate snow and ice. The latter on melting, however, is apt to produce mud together with oth er accumulations that are both un healthful and unsightly. If we recall the experience of other years we may be led to wonder whither the second condition is not nearly as bad as the first. The paving on Mill street is objec tionable enough, all of which, of course, is unavoidable. The bricks are covered with sticky paste, which makes it exceedingly disagreeable for pedes trians in crossing the street. Nearly every back yard contains an ash pile,intermixed with garbage rep resenting the winter's accumulations. It is unquestionably the most dispirit ing Beason of the year. Nevertheless, it is a period that humanity each season has to pass through and complaint is as puerile as it is futile. The best that we can do is to hope that the change from winter to spring may be sudden and abrupt—that warmer weather may come soon aud coutinne without many variations, drying up the mud and causing old earth to take on a more cheering aspect. Meanwhile, we can help ourselves a little, if we begin the process of clean ing up and renovation just as soon as conditions justify it. The street com missioner will no doubt see to it that Mill street receives its customary scraping and sweeping as soon as the paving dries off sufficiently. The ash man will soon get busy aud his over tures looking to au engagement should be met in a friendly way. Let him be put on the job early and, while the back yard is being cleaned up.give the cellar also a renovation using qoick lime in unstinted quantities in ca.-e there should be dampness or impurity. Thus, while the premises are made pleasing to the eye conditions conduc ive to good health will also be promot ed. At White Hall. The White Hall school will give its annnal entertainment on Friday even ing, March 15th. A fine program of dialogues, recitations, tableaus and music, is being arranged Mont. Derr, teacher of the White Hall schools, has charge of the preparations, aud says that the entertaiument will be the fin est ever given by the White Hall school. No admission will be charged, but the hat will be passed. An excellent library has been established in the school by the collections from previous entertainments. Each person attending is requested to make an offering of a dime. King Leopold, of Brussels, is reckon ed as the richest man in Europe, so far as real estate is concerned. FIFTY YEARS OF MARRIED LIFE Mr aud Mrs. David R. Slielliart celebrated the fiftieth anniversary of tlieir wedding at their home on Center street Monday. Mr. aud Mrs. Shel hart are among our best known and highly esteemed residents. They are both natives of this immediate vicin ity and theii fifty years of married life were spent in this city. Naturally much interest attached to their golden wedding, so that the function, viewed in every light, was a success—one en joyed alike by those who called to pay their respects aud the venerable couple on whom the honors were bestowed. A pleasing episode in connection with the golden wedding took place at the Mahouing Presbyterian church on Sunday afternoon. Mr. Shelhart has been a member of tlie Mahoning Pres byterian Suuday school for a period of fifty years For forty years he has been either superintendent or assist ant superintendent of the Sunday school. In recognition of his long term of service it was decided by the teachers aud officers of the Sunday school on the fiftieth anniversary ot his married life to present him with a suitable gift. The present selected was in the form of a dozeu solid silver spqons The presentation took place immedi ately after Sunday school. The pre sentation speech was made by Howard B. Shultz, superintendent, to which Mr. Shelhart very feelingly responded. * Monday the fiftieth wedding an niversary was celebrated by a family dinner. Between the hours of 3:30 and 10 p. m. an imforuial reception was held and a large number of persons called at the family^homestead. David R. Shelhart is a native of Moutour county. His boyhood was spent on a farm in Cooper township He came to Dauville fifty-seven years ago. For six years lie was a clerk in Christian Laubach's store,after which he went into business as a merchant tailor, and for a period of over fifty years he remained in business at the same stand on Mill streat, retiring about two years ago. Mrs. Shelhart, who before marriage was Miss Malinda DeMott, was born near Jersevtown. She is a couple of years younger than her husband, and like him enjoys good health. That both have many friends was well at tested by the general interest shown in their fiftieth anniversary—by the deluge of congratulations and well wishes for the future that were bestow ed upon them. •'ln 1897 I had a stomach uiseasa Some physicians said Dyspepsia, some Consumption. One said I would not live uutil Spring. For four years I ex isted on boiled milk, soda biscuits, and doctors' prescriptions. I could not digest anything I ate; tlieu I picked up one of your Almauacs audit hap pened to be my life-saver. I bought a fifty-cent bottle of KODOL and the benefit I received from that bottle all the gold in Gporgia could not buy. In two months I went back to my work, as a machinist, and in three mouths I was well and hearty. May you live long aud prosper.C. N. Cornell, Roding, Ga., 1906.

Beatrix Demarest Lloyd is the auth or of the novel which opens the April Smart Set. Her story is entitled "The Miniature," and she has never writteu a finer piece of work. The scenes are laid in Paris, and the absorbing nar rative, which grips the reader's atten tion at the outset, moves along to a most unexpected and thilling conclu sion. Of the younger writers of today, none is more promising than Miss Lloyd, and The Smart Set is to be con gratulated on publishing so notable a novel. John G. Neihardt contributes a piece of fiction entitled "Beyond the Spectrum," which,because of its pow er and weird setting, deserves a place sid« by side with some of Edgar Allan Poe's short stories. Harriet Gaylord, in "Cousin Delice," tells a pathetic tale of a young singer who sacrifices her career,and learns too late how un necessary that sacrifice was. A power ful story is "Penalty" by a young English writer, Michael Storm ; Kath erine Metcalf Roof writes a fanciful little story called "The Edge of the Wood," full of poetic charm; Arthur Stanley Wheeler is at his best in a love story, "Indian Summer." Other fiction is from Mrs. Luther Harris, Mary L. Pendered, Mary Glascock, R. K. Weekes and Mazo de la Roche, in his most delightful vein. Bliss Car man writes an essay called "The Music of Life," which contains many quot able passages. The poetry is varied aud excellent, aud comes from such verse-makers as Ethel M. Kelby, Elsa Barker. Edwin L. Sabin, Arthur Stringer. Gertrude H. McGiffert and Charlotte Becker.

B. & B. railroad crossing at Shaffer's bridge was the scene of a serious accident Saturday morning at 11 o'clock, when a farm wagon in which rode Freese Kistler and Alfred Crawford, of Cambra, was run down by a fast moving freight train, wagon practically demolished, and both men flung down the embankment, breaking both of Kistler's legs. The men were on theii way from Mordausville to Bloomsburg in a cov ered farm wagon drawn by Kistler's team of horses. The train was on its way to Berwick, and owing to the curve at that point, the meu did not see or hear the train; neither did the trainmen see the wagon until the horses were on the track, and the fast approaching train was only a few yards distant. The engine struck the wagon near the rear wheel and flung the body of the vehiclo up onto the fence posts along the track, the rear wheels and axle being sent whirling down into the ditch, aud both men were flung down the ten-loot bank o£ the Fishing creek. Crawford escaped with apparently no injuries beside a bad shaking up, and picked himself up unassisted. Kistler, however, was badly hurt Both legs were broken just above the ankle, both bones in each leg being fractur ed. William McMahon, who lives near the bridge, came running to the scene and the train was brought to a stop as soon as possible. Kistler was carried up onto the road, and placed in Mc- Mahon's wagon and driven back to his home in Cambra. Physicians declared his to be one of the worst kinds of fractures,and as both limbs were brok en, it is liable to incapacitate Mr. Kist ler for future farm work, or for auy occupation which requires a great deal of standing on the feet The in jury is a very painful one. Besides the fracture of the legs, internal in juries are also feared, aud seveial bruises were found about ttie body. The greater part of the farm wagou which was struck by the train was left a mass of wreckage. The team of horses, however, were the least con cerned of all over the accident, and were not even scared wheu ttie train struck the wagon aud knocked it Irom behind thetn. They patiently stood in the roadway uutil driven over the Mc- Mahon farm. Injured ai Exchange. A thrilling accident occurred at the plauing mill of W. H. Dildiue at Ex change Mouday afternoou, when John W. Ritter, an employe at the plant, was caught in a belt, thrown into the machinery, and his right arm torn loose at ttie shoulder, the upper end of the big boue being forced through the flesh. Mr. Ritter was carryiug boards away from the planer, when his coat caught in one of ttie smaller belts, throwing him toward the big main shaft. In falling his right arm struck the big belt that runs the planer, which oper ates at a very high speed. In a twinkling the man's arm was securely caught betweeu the belt and the pulley wheel, and as the machin ery continued to revolve, his arm was wound around the shaft,and that mem ber torn loose from the shoulder. W. H. Dildine, proprietor of the mill, by his presence of mind prevent ed a horrible catastrophe from occur ring. He quickly reversed the engine and threw off the big belt, stopping the machinery. But quick as he was, tie was not an instant too soon to save Mr. Ritter's life. Wheu lifted from his perilous posi tion, Mr. Ritter was nearly unconsc ious. He was taken to his home in Ex change, and Dr. Muffly, of Turbot vilie was called. An examination showed that the big bone of the upper arm had been entirely torn loose at the shoulder joint, every ligament be ing severed. In addition to this the upper end of the bone had been pulled over into the man's chest, where it protruded for seven inches through a rent in the flesh 6 inches long. The physician last evening was con fident that the injury will ultimately mend, but it will be at least two months before Mr. Ritter can again use his arm. Eloped With Italian. Mrs, Gabriel Weurick, of Northum berland,wife of the D. L. &W round house foreman, has eloped with au Italian laborer, who was employed on the Pennsylvania, railroad in that town. On Saturday night she went to Sun bury with the Italian, as was especi ally noticed by the motormau and con ductor of ttie street car,and since then no trace has been found of either of them. Mr. and Mrs. Wenrick have been married but little over a year. He has passed ttie half century mark, while she lis not yet reached twentv. His first wife died about 6ix years ago af ter doing her 'khare towards the prop agation of species by bringing four teen children into the world. He mourned the loss of his helpmate for about five years, and then began to look around for auottier to fill her place. Ou a farm bordering the borough limits of Northumberland, he found a country girl, beautiful, fascinating aud unsophisticated. He won her love aud brougtit tier to town as his wife. This was but little over a year ago Since that time great changes were wrought. Mrs. Weurick felt that she was imposed upon when forced to be come the stepmother of fourteen chil dren, several of whom were older than site was. Then, too, she met the Ital ian. He was only a laborer,to be sure, working with a gang of his fellcw countrymen keeping the Pennsylvania tracks in repair. Bui, ou the otli r hand lie was verv gallant, and his black eyes and gay smile won the heart of the young woman. Her in fatuation for him increased uutil she finally consented to ruu away with him. CHANGES IN SCHOOL LAWS Some radical changes in the school laws of the State will be urged during the present session of the legislature by the Pennsylvania State Educational society through its legislative commit tee, of which J. B. Richey, superin tendent of the McKeesport public schools, is president At its recent meeting in Harrisburg the department of superintendence talked over needed laws, and the leg islation to be urged is at its sugges tion. The most revolutionary change de sired is the election of borough and city school directors at large, by the vote of the whole people. The depart ment is of the opinion that a school board of five or seven members is bet ter than the large ones now necessary. Boston has such a board. Among the legislation to be urged are the following: The appropriation of $8,030,000 an nually for the support of the public schools of the Commonwealth,and the additional sum of SIOO,OOO each, an nually, for township, borough and city high schools. The passage of the bill now pending for the appointment of a State high school inspector as a deputy of public instruction. A clause permitting children over twelve years of age to take employ ment upon all holidays and vacations, upon temporary certificates issued by the school authorities The following points in any bill en acted for the regulation of "child lab or" in this State : The minimum age for the employ ment of children in factories shoulu not be less than fourteen years. The evidence as to age should be corroborated by the affidavit of the parent or guardian. The number of hoars per day for such labor should not exceed eight, or forty eight per week. The attendance officer should have the same legal access to mills and factories as the deputy factory in spector has The attendance officer, or any other citizen, should be empowered to be gin suit against an employer for vio lation of the law. No child under sixteen years of age may be employed unless said child can read, write and perform the funda mental operations of arithmetic. All certificates of employment should be issued uuder the direction of the school authorities of the district in which the child resides. v DOING TMEIR DUTY Scores of Danville Readers ari Learning the Duty of th-; Kidr.eys.

A movement is on foot by one of the clergymen of Bellefonte to organize a young ladies club. The club will in clude all young ladies working in the homes of Bellefonte. the factories, clerks, stenographers, girls of leisure and others. Departments will be nice ly furnished for reading, writing and games. It is said a danco hall will be included among the pleasures the ladies will be able to enjoy, where they can ask their gentlemen friends to come and "Waltz me around agai n Willie." Iu commenting on this novel move, the Bellefonte News says:"lt is sin cerely hoped that the movement will pau out all right for in Bellefonte we have some girls who are seen con stantly on the street from morning un til night, and perhaps this institution will be the means of making them better women. "It is the first time anything of the kind has ever been attempted here and it is a question as to whether or not it will prove a success. Iu Bellefonte j we have a dozen different classes of girls, aud we admit that some are not j as good as they should be and are talk ed about, run down aud shunned, but these same girls have souls to save as well as the higher class ones. Now when all these women get together in a social way in the club rooms and are on friendly terms, will they still be kind and friendly when they meet on the streets and in public places? If so the club will be a success if not it will be a failure." You should be very careful of your bowels when you have a cold.

The anniversary exercises were held in the newly renovated castle ball on Mill street, refurnished, repainted and decorated at much cost,about a month ago. The members are very proud of their new home, which was also very much admired bv the visiting delega tion, the unanimous verdict being that no lodge of the order has a more beautiful castle ball than Beaver Lodge No. 132. The reports show that the iodge is in an excellent condition in every re speet. There is a membership of 140, made up of young or middle aged men.

It has a large sum of money invested, the interest accruing being suHicieut to pay all running expenses, to meet every call that arises and to leave a balance beside. The meeting Saturday evening was opened indue form, Deputy Grand Chanrellor Jacob Fischer presiding. After a number of addresses by mem bers aud visitors the rank of knight was conferred in the amplified form by a drilled team from Shamukin. After adjournment the entire body consisting of over one hundred knights, marching two abreast, proceeded to the City hotel, where they partook of a sumptuous banquet, gotten up in ex cellent style by landlord Snyder. Dur ing the meal the knights were enter tained by our chief burgess, W. J. Rogers, who is a member of the order. The entertainment was a continuous one, beginning at 7:30 o'clock and lasting until the hour of midnight. The meeting on the whole was a de cided success, promoting a warm frat ernal relation between the brethren of our own town and Sbamokin. It was especially beueficial to the young men of the local lodge, who are forming a team to confer the amplified form of the rank of knight. The drilled team from Sbamokin was especially profici ent aud its work was much admired.

Lerch at No. 117 Mill street at 7:30 o'clock BROTHERHOOD ORGANIZED A Presbyterian Brotherhood was organized at the Grove church Friday night and that influential congregation is now on the list of churches that have fallen in witli this modem move ment to brim; the great body of men, indifferent as to the cause of religion, into closer touch with devout and God fearing people, to interest them in the working aud the affaiis of the church ami finally through these agencies to secure their conversion to God. The supper and the meeting held a month a*£o paved the way for organiza tion Friday. Since then there has been much enthusiasm among the men of the church relatiug to the subject of the brotherhood. It was known that there was an abundance of good mater ial on hand, men who were merely waiting for the privilege of enrolling their names. All that was necessary Friday night was the formal act of organization, which was performed by Rev. O. G. Morton, pastor of the First Presbyter ian church of Suubury, who is the brotherhood organizer of the North umberland Presbytery. A supper, furnished by the ladies of the congregation, was served in the annex at the rear of the chapel at 7 o'clock, at'; which were present the men who attended the previous meet iug aud who expected to join the brotherhood. The supper, as on the previous oc casion, was abundant, well prepared aud well-served. Immediately after the meal. Rev. O. G Morton deliver ed au address, which was terse aud to the point.dealing with the subject of the brotherhood. Following is a syno psis of Rev. Morton's address, which had as its theme, "The Church and the Brotherhood." "Men of the church as a class are falling to the rear of the great hosts of God iu both service and benevol ence. This occurs largely because the men are not organized into associa tions as women are. To evangelize men, to pray and labor for their salva tion is the need of the hour, second to no other call iu the sphere of Christian work. Men of the church have heard the call aud the brotherhood move ment is the result. This movement is the most import ant iu the work of the church. It means that the Master is moving the sons of God for a great purpose. It means the lining up of the splendid brawn of the Presbyterian division of the grand army of God. The brother hood has been compared to a piece of machinery that is to be added to the Presbyterian church's working equip ment to do special work among men In the church there are the scattered parts of a machine that are powerless. They need an organizing force to gath er them up and make a complete throbbing machine Here is a justifi cation of the brotherhood. Bring the men into active contact with the pow er of the church and connect them witli the power. If a niau comes into too close con tact with commercialism he becomes sordid in money-getting. He needs contact with an organized effort in the church to give him a balance be tween religion and commercialism. There is a keen demand today that men may succeed in their daily avoca tions and be honest at tne same time. The brotherhood is not togo into politics, but its members will put Christianity iu all its affairs. The Uuited Statesceususshows th»t the majority of adult males are not in direct connection with any Christian church. About twelve percent of adult males are connected with the Roman Catholic church ;twenty-four per cent with the several Protestant churches, and sixty-two per cent make no per sonal profession of Christian faith The total Romau Catholic and Pro testant male church membership is about 6,500.000. the total adult males being about 17,140,000. There are, therefore, in this country, about ten millions of men of full age who are uot in communicant membership of any church, and more than half of them never enter church. A portion of this great multitude of men who do not attend churdi are in our own towns. It is onr duty togo after them and bring them into vital touch with the gospel. Statistics show that there are two females to every male iu the Ameri cau Protestant churches. It is import ant to note that while the preaching and official force is composed almost exclusively of men the unofficial ac tivities, missionary, sabbath school and pastoral, are largely carried on by women. To leav.3 men to one side, as lias been done in the past, is to lose au executive force, whose value is be youd any other'alike iu quality aud quantity. The world's aggressive work has been and is being done mainly by men and will so continue to be done as long as man is man Every sincere Christian In view of the situation, should hail with plea sure the organization of the brother hood. The formation of brotherhoods elsewhere has resulted in eularged at tendance upon the Sabbath and week day services aud a quickened spiritu ality. For the accomplishment of blessed spiritual results God invites the men in this land to co-operate with Him. Men are the divine instru ments for the salvation of men. Of that Christ is the abiding evidence aud how great the need of this co operation with our Lord! What the church needs today is the blood-earn estness of men engaged in the labor of saving their brothers." An appropriate address was also de livered by Rev. Dr. Hemingway, of Bloomsburg.

In the northern Italian Tyrol are a cluster of awe-iupsiring mountain peaks that violate all ideas of what mountains should be. They are known as the Dolomites. Tossed high, as if arrested in mid-air, they are nature's own "Castles In the air." More than any castle walls ever built by man, they seem to defy all possibility of ascent. So little known, and so defiant are these mountains obelisks that they have never been conquered by man un til a few months ago. Just how they were finally surmounted is shown ful ly in Lyman H. Howe's Lifeorama to be given in the Armory on Tuesday evening, March 19th. Little globules of sunshine that drive the clouds away.

In regard to the salaries paid its po licemen the Wilkes-Barre Daily Rec ord says: "A Wilkes-Barre policeman is compelled to work two years for S6O a month. He is compelled to buy an outfit costing about a hundred dollars. At any time he may be called upon to take his life in his hands. Only last Saturday a South Main street patrol man risked his life in chasing armed Italians who were mixed up in the in discriminate shooting in which three men were wounded. A salarj of S6O a month is less than is paid the ordin aiy laborer in these times, when the cost of living is so high. Is it right? It makes no difference what other cities are paying. The question is, are the Wilkes-Barre policemen being justly dealt with?" This is Worth Remembering. Whenever you have a cough or cold, just remembei that Foley s Honey and Tar will cure it.

Howe's Life orarna to watch from comfortable seats the rolling ocean and the wild rushing and pitching of a huge, unwieldy harpooned whale. Under the title. "Whaling in the Atlantic." Mr. Howe offers in his new program one of the most remarkable moving pictures that have ever been secured since the in ception of animated photoeraphy. As the picture progresses the whaling ves sel is seen coining into view, and the crew busily makes fast the whale,now stitt and rigid, in the tossing waters. At the whaling station are seen two whales—one measuring 84 feet and the other 78—with their enormous humps crowded with sea gulls. "Atlantic Whaling" is of course, but one of the mauy other features equally interest ing in Mr. Howe's new program. It is notable not ouly as a life-like re production of a remote and perilous calling, but as a curious example of Mr. Howe's tireless search after novel ties.
