Ignorance of the law eXcuseth no
man. That time -honored old say
ing may very well apply to judges,
lawyers and justices of the peace,
but how about the people generally
A digest of our laws costs several
dollars, and even if one owned and
studied over, the Legislature is CON
constantly adding to our laws, MAX
ing it necessary to read the new ones
if one would escape the penalties
for their nonobservance. They have
n more sensible way of doing things
in the state of New York. There
the laws are required.to be published
in every county, so that every news
paper reader may know to what
pains and penalties he may be sub
jected. The files can be preserved
and so every man may digest his
own laws while resting after meals.
Our legislature is notorious for
squandering the money in the state
treasury upon unworthy objects and |
schemes. How would it please the
people to allow little bit of it to be
spent in such way that they may
not be subject to punishment for
the violation of laws of which they
could not very well help being ig-
norant.

Set that Dollar Moving.

The general complaint among busi-
ness men is that they cannot collect
what is due them. 1t is easy enough
to get orders and sell goods, but al
most impossible to collect. The
stripgency in this regard is univer-
sal and distressing. Why is it 1t
is absurd to say there is not money
enough to do the business of the
country. There is ms much money
in the country as there was year or
six months ago, and the volume of
business is not as great. The mon
ey is here, but it is not moving. 1t
is hiding, locked up in banks, safe
deposit companies, old stocking and
and peoples pockets.
In this situation, it is every man $
duty to do what he can towards put
ting and keeping what money ho
controls in circulation. Whoever
boards dollar unnecessarily is a
public enemy. The least that every
person can do is to pay his debts to
the fullest extent possible and thus
help to oil the wheels of trade
Therefore, we say to everybody, pay
your debts, large and small-pay

LAYER.

From the Bcllciontc Daily Gazette of Monday.
Saturday morning n crowd OF
about thirty-iive young ladies and
gentlemen left Centre Hall for Pad
dy mountain. In the afternoon the
boys decided to so swimming. The
camp was on the other side of the
second tunnel, and i'll order to get
to Penns creek or the swimming
place the boys had to pass through
the tunnel. Penns creek is only
deep at places where the flood Of
1889 had washed it out. One OF
these deep places was under the
railroad trestle, and there is where
the boys went in swimming. Wal
ter Kurtz took n pole and waded
through the stream and he found
that the water did not take him up
to the pits of his arms, although it
was deeperiustH httio distance up
Lib "'-~--- s,'-.,,s,.,t, t,>,,-sh !, sef-r.-l

Irzc~ INT back into the wa
tor and grabbed hold of a log that
some of the boys, who were on the
bank, threw into the water. He be-
gan swimming around with the log
in front of him when all at once he
began to cry for help. There were
about twenty young men on the
bank, but the only man who
went to the rescue of the young
man, was his brother, Fred. Kurtz,
DR., who jumped into the stream.
The water was swift and it seemed
almost impossible for him to get TO
his brother. The current carried
Fred. down the stream until he got
on rock. He then began 20 throw
a pole to Walter, but by this time
he must have gotten so weak that
he could not catch the pole. Before
the boys on the bank could realize
the fact that he was in SO much
danger. Walter Kurtz went to the
bottom of the creek and failed to
rise again.
Everybody became terribly excit
ed and they hardly knew what to do
under the circumstances. At last
some one went for several woods
men, who came and began searching
for the body. 1t was about half an
hour before it could be found. II
was taken to shore and everything
possible was done to bring the body
to life again, but all efforts proved
OF no avail After everything had
failed the body was put on a truck
and taken to Spring NJ ills and from
there it was taken to Centre Hall in
a conveyance. 1t was terrible
shock to his parents, who had been
at the camp and left short
time before the accident happened.
When the news reached the camp
the scene was n terrible one, and
shall never be forgotten by those
who witnessed it. The tents were
immediately torn down and every
person started to walk to Coburn,
a distance of over five miles. On
the way several of the young ladies
tainted and it was thought that
some of them would die before Co.
burn was reached.
Walter Kurtz was young man
about 10 years of age, He had
brilliant intellect, being one of the
brightest young men in the county.
He was a very pleasant young man
and had hosts OF friends, many of
them being in Bellefonte. He was
a compositor, and setting type in
his fathers office in Centre Hall, and
was considered n rapid workman.
The deceased was brother of
Charles Kurtz, editor of the Centre
Democrat, in Bellefonte. The fun |
eral will take place Tuesday morn
