ed on the Interpolation of the govern
ment respecting the concentration of

stoppage Of ammunltions consigned to
the Transvaal. The house adjourned
shortly before noon, after adopting

"The volksraad, having considered that

bers near the border has a detrimental
and restless effect on the Inhabitants OF

lived in friendship and peace with all
nations and desires to continue to live
in such friendship and peace. now de-
clare It's regret at the fact OF concen-
tratlon, and expresses the opinion that,
In the case OF eventualitiea which
might lead to enmlty or war between
the two countries, the cause would not
lie with the republic.
"As regards the stopping Of ammuni-
tionat Delagoa bay. the voIksraad hopes
that the government will act accord
Ing to circumstances.
"The raad further resolves to drop
the matter of tho concentration of
troops on the border for the present,
until the government shall supply fur
ther Information to the raad, although
the information obtained is unsatIsfac-
tory. Nevertheless. and with view to
the results OF the negotiations which
are pending, the rnad declares itself
determined in the meantime to maintain
the rights and independence Of the ro-
public"

The Slick Swindler.

The fellow who comes around and
collects SO cents and promises to
come around later and take the plct-
ures of the family, at which time you
paid him 50 cents more, worked Cata-
wlssa to a queens taste about three
weeks ago. He caught about four
out of every six families in town. He
never came back. The worst of it
was that he represented himself as E.
S. M'Killip, the well known Blooms
burg photographer, and said that he
had just returned from the army, and
that he had nothing to do now; having
sold his business before he enlisted, he
was now travelling around taking pho
tographs. The returned soldier rack
ct caught the sympathies and half doll
lars of our people.
We would give dollar and half
to witness fifteen minutes interview
between the swindler and Mr.. M'Killip.
Talk about El Caney and the "Rough
Riders" that fellow wouldn't be fit to
even sit for picture for six months
after Skyles got through with him.
Catawissa Meas Item.
We have since learned that a few
evenings ago three Catawissians who
rad been faxed by the sleek swindler
came to town, fully determined to
give Mr.. M'Killip a sound thrashing.
1t was made out by them that one of
the number should stop M'Klllip, and
get into an argument, and then the
other two fellows would give him
whipping. Luckily however, their
plotting was overheard by another
party, who Informed Mr.. M'Killip Of
their plan, and he was not to be seen.
They have since discovered that
they have been faxed, and the soldier
photographer who ever he is, will leave
the town on stretcher should ne ever
attempt to enter Catawssa again.

ANOTHER VICTORY.


The first appearance here Of the
Bellefonte State College five was an
other good drawing card last night,
and once more standing room in the
Gymnasium was at premium. In
the opinion of nearly everybody it
was the fastest game that has been
played here this season, and while our
boys Won by rather good margin,
yet the game was more interesting
than the score would seem to indi-
cate. The visitors played good ball
all the way through, and demon
strated that they understood the
game. The score at the end of the
first half was Normal ii, State a.
During the last half both teams
played desperately, and twice time
had to be called to revive player
who had been stunned by reason OF
his head coming in contact with the
floor. Finally, when the timer blew
the whistle, giving notice that the
Evenings entertainment was at an end,
the Normalites had fifteen baskets, OIL
thirty points to their credit, while
their less fortunate opponents hat
succeeded in locating the basket only
three times. Tom Moore, of town
acted as umpire, and his work was
right up to snuff.

VOL. "a
BASKET BALL.

One of the largest crowds of the
season assembled in the Normal
Gymnasium Friday evening to witness
the long talked of game of basket ball
between the Normal team and FIVE
young men representing the Blooms
burg Whcelmen, but better known as
Manager Eyer's pets. The battle
started at the usual time, and for just
about three minutes it looked as
though the score would be pretty
close. The Wheelmen had succeeded
in throwing basket and the noise
made by their enthusiastic supporters
of which there was a goodly number
on hand, was deafening. But it was
too good to last, the school boys got
down to business, and putting team
work, for which they are noted, into
practice, simply toyed with the bcy-
clists, and basket after basket was
thrown with rapid succession. OF
course it was the down town teams
first attempt, and beside this their
strength was greatly impaired by the
loss Of one of their best players. But
admitting all this they didn't display
any system OF passing the ball, used
no team work of any account and
were very slow on their feet. On the
other hand the Normal team played
with vim and dash that was refresh
ing.
When time was called the score
stood Sc to IL. The line up was as
follows:

SEMINARY VS.. BLOOMSBURY.

An interesting game of basket ball
was played on Saturday evening in the
gymnasium Of Wyoming Seminary be-
tween the Bloomsbury Normal School
and the Seminary teams. There were
two fifteen minute halves. The gym.
nasium was we'll filled with students
and there was great display of col
ors. During the first half the Blooms
burg team made II and the Seminary
8, and during the second half the
Bloomsbury team added Io more,
against the Seminary's 7. The victory
was due to the superior team work of
the Normal, which has the reputation
Of being the champion team Of the
state. The total score was 80 to IS
in favor of the Bloomsbury team

Sudden Death.

Death on Saturday claimed well
known resident of Scott township in
the person of William Yohe. Mr.. Yohe
was past eighty years of age, but not
withstanding his advanced years was
very spry on his feet, and on the morn
ing of his death had arisen quite early,
intending to walk to his farm, near
Orangeville, as has been his custom
of late. He had travelled only about
two hundred yards, when he was sud-
denly overcome with severe stroke
of appoplexy, and died in few min
utes. His remains were brought to
Bloomsbury Tuesday afternoon. and
LAID to rest in the new cemetery, ser
vices being conducted at the home OF
his son-in-law H. A. Ludlow.
