Custom in the British army for
bids officers of the army from teek-
ing cover under fire though the
men do seek cover. For that rea-
son the loss of British officers in
the battles between the British
and Beers has been heavy. Brad
dock lost the battle near Fort Pitt
in 1875, because he would not take
shelter himself or allow his men to
take shelter. ~
The Lutheran congregation in
this town have been earnestly con-
sidering the question of building a
new church. They have such an
abundance of room and location
that they have not determined
where to erect the new building.
An architect and builder has been
over the ground and is satisfied
that the large brick parsonage can
be moved as whole from the cor
ner where it nov stands to make q
place for new church on the cor
ner.
The woods fires in WestmOre-
land county last week destroyed q
great deal of hewn timber. The
flames worked out of the woods in
to the fences on farms and endang-
cred many barns and houses. 1t
required hard work to save houses
and barns. The IpeOple were al
most smOthered by the smoke.

ed. Their threats became inflam-
ed and sore and with many the sit
uatiOn was distressing. They dar-
ed not flee from the country and to
live there was misery. In some
places whole fields of corn were
destroyed. The fire almost got in
to the town of Bellefonte, Centre
county.

The democrats are telling it
broad cast that Colonel Barnett
was not a brave officer in the 10th
Pennsylvania Regiment at Manila.
1t is only a few short weeks since
the 10th Regiment, everyone of
them was praised to the sky.
There wasn't a coward then among
them. 1t seems that Barnett fol-
lowed the tactics of the present
time of keeping as much out OF
range of the enemy's fire as posi-
BILE when not in a charge. 1t is
said that he laid down when the
others of the line laid down to pre-
sent less of an object for the Filipi-
nos to fire at. The Filipinos are
hard put for something to say
against Barnett when they get of
such clash against him. The ques-
ton of Barnett's standing up OF
laying down on the firing line at
Manila has nothing to do with the
issue in Pennsylvania to be settled
at the poles on the 9TH day of Nov
ember. Vote for Barnett.
