The proposed pageant and cere
monies at the dedication of the new
State Capitol at Harrisburg on the
4th of October, will be among the
most elaborate that have ever been
held in the State. Immense review
ing stands are now being erected,
from which the thousands of guests
who have been invited will witness
the parade. President Roosevelt and
great number of statesmen rank
ing high in national life will be pres
ent. The city will have many costly
decorations. Pillars will mark the
course of the parade, houses and pup
lie buildings will be covered with
flags and bunting. The fireworks
planned will be the most magnifi-
cent procurable. The two days set
aside for the ceremonies, October the
18th and 9Th, will be among the most
memorable in the history of Penn
sylvania. The military display will
be great feature. Two companies
of each regiment in the State will
contribute the martial feature. The
companies of each brigade will be
temporarily formed into regiment.
With three brigades in the State
I
ments to represent the militia in re-

All the goose bone and tree mark
prophets seem to be agreed that the
followed by a regular old-fashioned
hard winter.
In this the prophets are supported
by the records of the United States
Weather Bureau which shows that
the general average of temperature,
year after year, runs about the same,
mild or severe seasons of heat being
followed by similar conditions of
cold.
The only apparent possibility of
this theory not applying to the COM
ing winter is that the hot summer
may be In compensation for the
,mildness of last winter, and that
therefore next winter will be free to
make its own record, regardless of
that which preceded it leaving to
the succeeding summer the task of
making up the deficit either of the
heat or cold as the case may be.
There are numerous signs how
ever of cold winter ahead. From
our neighboring southern states, for
instance, comes word that there are
bushels of berries on the holly bush
es. This is said to be natures way
of providing food for the birds and
big crop of holly berries means a
long and severe winter. This pre-
diction is supported by the state
ment from the west that the corn
husks are much thicker this year
than they have been for long time,
while news comes from the forest
regions of Pennsylvania and West
Virginia that there will be an enOr-
nous yield of scorns, beachnuts,
chestnuts and other fruits of the for
est upon which birds and beasts de-
pend for food during the winter.

The nomination of A. w. Duy,
Esq, of Bloomsbury, for State Sena-
tor, is being well received by the
people OF the district, and predictions
are freely made that he will prove
one of the strongest candidates ever
nominated for this important Office.
That he will receive the united Re-
publican support as well as a large
number of Democrats, is generally
admitted by those who are familiar
with the conditions that exist
throughout the Twenty fourth Sena-
torial district
One fact that contributes to Mr.
Duy's strength is the unanimous and
harmonious conclusion of the dead
lock that has existed for so long a
time. The result of the conference
did not leave any sore spots. Harry
5. Meyer, the Lycoming candidate,
who made gallant contest for the
nomination, accepts the result phil
osOphically, and was one of the first
to pledge his support to the success
full opponent. This is an eviden e
of the popular feeling, and it is
feeling that will produce results on
election day.
Mr.. Duy is well thought of in his
home county as well as throughout
the district, and that he will be ac-
corded hearty support is admitted
on all sides. Gazette and Bulletin,

ing unreasonable expenditure and
protecting the Treasury against every
extravaganza. Never were there
more extended hearings before the
Committee on Appropriations These
hearings were open and full, and a
complete stenographic report was
made and printed. The Democratic
minority participated as we'll as the
Republican majority. These hear
ings at the last sessions covered four
thousand printed pages, largely ex-
ceeding the work of any previous
Committee.
In the light of these facts, then,
we may fairly question if Mr.. Griggs
makes his assertion honestly, in the
belief that the rottenness he de-
scribes really exists. We never had
a more honest President, more
honest Cabinet, or more honest
Congress. We never had a more ef
ficient Administration, and there
never was a time in our history
when the Republicans would well
come more heartily sincere and
thorough investigation into the af
fairs of the Government. And in
the light of the investigations, made
during the last session of Congress,
and the result of the Democratic in
vestigation referred to, would it be
wise for the people to take Mr..
Griggs seriously?

That there will be an unsurpassed
abundance of game of various spe-
cies, ready for gunners, when the
"game law" barriers are dropped,
October 1st, is the belief of Coleman
K. Sober, of Lewisburg, member
of the Pennsylvania State Game
Commission. Never before in his
recollection, and Mr.. Sober has been
close student of natural history fol
over a score of years, can he recall
such an apparent supply of grouse,
snipe, quail, wild turkey and deer.
''From every indication" said Game
Commissioner Sober recently, ~ can
safely predict that gunners this year
will be appalled, by the amount of
game. | have taken close observa-
ton of the promiscuous breeding of
birds in northumberland and Cum
berland counties, and the results are
surprising. The forest and wood
land virtually abound with them.
The winter was not especially hard
on game. In regions where the
birds suffer most the farmers pro-
vided for them by scattering, daily,
bags of feed in the woods. This act
of the farmers saved hundreds from
4
food this spring and summer, and
the birds simply did nothing but eat
and grow fat, so as to be in good
trim for the gunner in October.
When the game season closes it will
show that the season of 1906 was the
best for many years"

NUNCY VALLEY.


NIarried-At Muncy Valley Par
sOnage last Wednesday afternoon by
Rev. S. b. Bidlack, Mr.. Brady
Househect and Miss Jennie Palma
tier of Eagles Mere.
On last Sunday morning occurred
the sad and sudden death of Wilber
Larue, the four-year-old boy of FL
mer Crawley, near Hemlock Grove.
Cause, cholera infantum. The funer-
al was held on Tuesday morning at
Franklin church and interment at
the same place. Mr.. and Mrs. Craw
ley are in deep grief. They have
the sympathy of large community
in this their first bereavement.
Last Monday at Strawbriuge oc-
Cured at the home of George Edkin
the pretty wedding of their daugh-
ter, Miss Laura, to Clayton Bennett,
of Eagles Mere. Mrs. S. B. Bidlack
played the wedding march, and at
hour of p. m. came marching into
the parlor the family pastor Mr.. Bid
lack, followed by the contracting
parties and the immediate friends.
After the ceremony, escorted by Mrs.
Howard Edkin all were led to the
dining room were a delightful re-
past was served.
AT the home of Mr.. Alvin Miller
of this place, the Stewards on next
Saturday evening will serve ice
cream and oysters. 1t is hoped that
all will come and patronize the
worthy cause.
Think of 5000 keys. That i, the
number the State Department of
Public Grounds and Buildings will
have to provide for the accommoda
ton of the Legislature and the Off
cials and attaches of the various de
partments of the State Capitol. There
are over 500 rooms in the building
and about 600 doors. There are
three regular keys to each door.
That makes 1900 to start off with.
Then in a number of instances each
attache of department has key to
Il general door. That is an elastic
and gaessable NUMBER probably in
creasing the grand total to over p
900. When the Legislature meets
the 257 members of the two Houses
will each receive keys to desk,
locker and post Office box. Multi
ply 257 by three.
Then add keys for various attach
es. BY that time you will have
pretty close to 1000 more. Now on
top of that there is set of master
keys and then duplicate for each and
every one. The number is growing
and, by the time you stop and think
it will be close to 5000, several hun
'lred weight of keys. To keep all
straight Superintendent Shumaker,
who runs the Capitol, has a key
room which is sight. 1t is about
nine by five, and some six feet high.
On three sides are rows of hooks.
There are almost 700 for room keys
on which can be hung as high as
three keys for every room. Then
there is a legislative side and stock
side, each full of hooks.

value But r.. w. Walden. who trained
Bowling Brook, often said he could defeat
Hamburg at any distance from quarter
TO four miles. John Il. Madden. the man
who developed Hamburg. and whose for
tune was made of the earnings OF this
horse, no doubt often heard Walden
