It perhaps, is best not to place
complete reliance in the report that
the drought and hot winds have
shortened the corn crop at least five
hundred million bushels. If the re-
port is true, it means a good price
for all the corn the country may pro-
duce this year.
The farmers of Indiana for the first
time in the history of the State are
feeding their wheat to their hogs and
selling their corn. Wheat brings 43
cents per bushel when delivered at
the country stations, aud corn sells
readily at from As to Al cents.-Bea.

The Democratic County Commit
tee met in the Court House on Sat-
urday afternoon, and after two hours
discussion ON the topics which con
cern the erring brethren most, failed
to agree on any of the great ques-
tions of the day. They did not en-
dorse Governor Pattison, President
Cleveland or the tariff or sugar trust,
and said nothing about Congress or
! Harrity, or the assessment of candi

keepingJ. H. Nicely as an assistant

The thief who stole Henry Suloufr s
horse of which mention was made in
the SENTINEL AND REPUBLICAN last
week did not go to Snyder county,
with his booty as was expected, but
he rode to Black Log Valley, this
county, and there traded horses with
Benjamin Zeiders, and rode the new
ly acquired horse into Delaware
township and sold him to a man
whose name has not been returned
Sulouff followed the Thief to Zeider'
place and there got his horse, and
Zeiders followed the thief to wb ere
he sold his beast and there got his
horse, and the purchaser is out just
the amount that he paid the thief fol-
Zeiders' animal. If the thief had
done that thing in the west he'd be
swinging from the limb of tree by
this time.
Harry A. Gardner, cashier of the
Second National Bank of Altoona.
since 1882 when the bank was or
ganized, left for paris unknown last
week, and left the bank to pay fifty
thousand dollars for his rascally
work. 1t appears from showing of
the books of the concern that he has
been stealing from the bank the past
or 8 years. He deceived the bank exam
iner at bank examination times by
securing a cash loan for q few day:
from neighboring banks, and enter
ing the loan as cash on hand. Whel
the examiner completed his examiua
tion, Gardner returned the loan tc
the neighboriug banks. The banl
examiner last week came on him Sc
unexpectedly that he could not ge
the cash to fix up his accounts and
that exposed him. and he ran away
The bank hes been closed ever since
Tho vtp.l-hpllorc c,o,- f.ov oon no =
everything and everybody and so OF
with the business, and catch the
thief of cashier. Which it is hoped
they may be able to do. Gardner
left a wife and four children. There
is report that there is a woman at
the bottom of the whole affair. Gard
ner's rascality has broken bushes:
firm in Altoona.
