SMYRNA, Oct. 9.-There was some
lively political work done here Satur-
day, it being the last registration day,
Duck Greek hundred was thoroughly
secured, and now nearly every man
who has right to franchise has been
safely registered.
Democratic hope runs high, for on
Saturday they were strengthened by n
good registration in their favor. The
leaders, enthused as they never have
been, worked from morn till night.
Some moved among the promiscuous
crowds which characterize the Satur-
days of this town and had every avail
able Democrat pay his tax and register.
Others used their teams and drove
throughout the country to catch up the
dilatory ones and bring them to town.
Now that the registration is over, they
are resting in calm assurance of rolling
up a good Democratic majority.
In the Eastern district SO were regis
tered and in the Western 104. The total
number registered in both districts since
the registration began is calculated to
be about 1000. Out of this the Demo
Gratis expect nearly 200 majority. In
fact, the party leaders are iupilant over
| the prospects since the close of the
registration, while on tho other hand
the Republicans are wearing q look Of
anxious concern.
Now the campaign will begin in
earnest. Efforts will be made to secure
the best Democratic orators in the State
TO offset what few calamity howlers"
the Republicans will have here during
the campaign. Popular opinion, how.
ever, seems to be in favor of "Ambas-

BELLEFoNTE, Pa, Oct. 1.-THE great
war governor Of Pennsylvania, Andrew
Gregg Curtin, died Mt his home here this
morning at B O'Clock. It was apparent
all day yesterday and last night that nc
could not long survive, and all the
members OF the veteran stateman's
family were gathered at his bedside.
The death Of Curtin removes the last
but one Of the famous war governors.
The sole survivor is Ex-Governor
Sprague Of Rhode Island.
Curtin's illness dates back about two
months. His nervous system became
exhausted, and this, coupled with 4
stomach trouble, finally resulted in his
death. He was confined to his home
here for several weeks, and on Monday
last he rallied sufficiently to 20 out upon
the porch. A relapse resulted, and he
sank rapidly. Yesterday afternoon he
became unconscious, and in the evening
lie sank into sleep from which he
never awokc. The end came peacefully
and without pain.
HIS EvENTFuL CAREER.
Andrew Gregg Curtin was born in
Bellefonte, Centre county, April 22d,
1876. His father, Roland Curtin, emf
grated from Ireland in 1703 and in 1907
established near Bellefonte one Of the
first manufactures of iron in that re-
gion. Andrew studied law i'll the

1913 and candidate for eiector on the
w mig ticket in 1852.
In 1860 Mr.. Curtin was the Republi.
can candidate for governor and was
elected by majority of $4,000.
He advocated the forcible suppression
Of secession, and was one of the war
governors who were most earnest in the
support of the national government.
Governor Curtin's health began to
fail in 1868, and he signitled his inten.
ton of accepting foreign mission that
had been offered him as soon as his term
should expire, but in the meantime he
was renominated and reelected by
| $4,000 majority.
In November, 1866, Mr.. Curtin wen
to Cuba for his health, and in that veal
declined another offer of foreign mis-
sion. In 1869 General Grant appointed
