ACT OF INSANE MAN.
Kills Stepfather and Then Ends His
Own Life.

Somerset, Pa, March 29.-Edward A.
Watring today shot and instantly killed
Dennis M. Weimer, go years old, his step
father, set fire to a summer kitchen and
ended his own life with a bullet The
men lived on farm near lockwood,
about nine miles from here. Watring,
who was 36 years of age, was about six
months ago released from the Somerset
county almshouse apparently fully re-
covered from mental disorder which
caused his confinement for some time in
the insane ward of that institution. He
had since appeared rational until today.
There was a sudden return of dementia
and it took violent form, resulting in
the double tragedy.

ORGANIZING BRYAN SENTIMENT.

From the southern Aegs, Ashville.
Hon. John w. Tomlinson of Birming-
ham addressed an enthusiastic Bryan
audience here at the court house on the
18th, and secured a large enrolment of
names for Bryan club He is a candi-
date for delegate for the state-at-large
to the democratic national convention,
and will undoubtedly head the delegation.
The nomination of Mr.. Bryan in that con-
vention is a foregone conclusion, and Mr..
Tomlinson is the man to head the Ala
bama delegation. Like thousands of 9TH
ers, he has no earthly doubt Of Bryan's
nomination, but his object is to carry as
much prestige and weight dnfiuence) up
to the convention as he can for his state.
This is the reason he is working with
energy to organize the Bryan sentiment
into solidarity and unity of action in the
final campaign.

FIRST-CLASS SERVICE.

Rendered by Tri-State and Northwestern
Telephone Companies Election Night.
Many persons awaited themselves
OF the accommodations furnished by
the Tri-State and Northwestern Tele-
phone companies on the night of
electlon-Tuesday. A phone and an
operator were placed at the disposal
OF the public by each company free of
charge. The instruments we're set up
in the Townsend building and the SER
vice given could hardly have been i'm
proved upon. Returns we're received
from all parts of the country and the
men at the receivers and blackboard
we're kept on the hustle from the time
the stories commenced to come in at
o'clock until clock in the morn
ing, and there were some people who
remained until that hour.
Considerable interest was manifested
in the returns for governor and Jacob
son sentiment was predominantly
manifest.
The people of Princeton owe a debt
OF gratitude to the Tri-State and
Northwestern telephone companies
for their kindness in furnishing such
excellent service.

Halloween Dev1ltry,

On Saturday evening the small boys
and some large ones-went forth to
perform their annual Hallowe EN-
pranks, and that they succeeded was
made manifest to many residents the
following morning. Gates we're carried
away, fence posts pulled up, signs
displaced and other deviltry of mis-
cellaneous nature perpetrated. But
the worst depreciation was that per-
formed at the residence of Miss Ida
King, where a trunk belonging to a
schOolma am was taken from the
porch, carried to the court house
grounds and there broken open. Its
contents, consisting of clothing, were
then removed, bedaubed with grease
and lampblack, and scattered around
promiscuously. 1t is said that a clue
to the perpetrators has been obtained,
and if they are brought to justice they
will be given the full penalty of the
law.
No one objects to the boys having a
little fun on Halloween. People over
look the carrying away of their gates
or the turning over of the small
houses in their back yards, but the
malicious destruction of property is
another matter, and the perpetrators
should be arrested and punished.
One way to prevent such occurrences
would be for parents to keep their
children athome on Halloween instead
of permitting them to run around town
looking for mischief to perform.

Gophers are Outplayed.

Chicago outplayed Minnesota on
Saturday, by score of % to 0. It was
the worst defeat. a Gopher football
team has suffered since DR.. Williams
became coach. It was more than a
defeat-it was slaughter. Upon
several occasions the Gophers had
the Maroons guessing, but it didn't
last long, and at no stage of the game
could the Gophers be said to have had
an even chance.
Stagg has a whirlwind team, and
they were trained to the minute. They
looked upon the Minnesota game as
the one big contest of the year and
we're trained for it. Minnesota lost by
her inexperience. Her men had never
been in a game away from home be-
fore. They we're confused by the new
conditions surrounding them. With
a home ground on home gridiron the
team would have been many points
ahead in struggle such as they had
Saturday. They simply didn't know
what to do.
1t will not do to attribute the result
of the game to accidents or fumbles.
That the officials rather favored the
Maroons will not explain away the
crushing defeat. It was inexperience
and nothing else. Chicago has a
great team and they know football
from alpha to omega. The much
heralded Steffen certainly "made
good" Saturday. Time after time he
made great gains anywhere in the
Gopher line that he pleased. If DR..
Williams has taught his men anything
like the variety of plays that Stage
has taught the Maroons it was not ap-
parent The Chicago boys have
wonderful lot of combinations that
kept the Gophers guessing most of the
time. The Minnesota men used all old
plays that mere babes at the game
could fathom. This might be neces-
sary for green team, but to spec
tator it hardly seems so. Just why the
Gophers are not trained in the new
plays permitted by the new rules is
mystery not revealed by the Minnesota
coaches. No blame should attach to
the Minnesota eleven. They played
the best game they could and in many
instances did some really clever
work, but it was of no use. They went
up against veteran bunch and were
outplayed from whistle to whistle.
Doc Williams had better begin at
once and put his men through new
set of tactics.

MOTHER GOOSE PLAY.
Children of Whittier School Present
in an Admirable Tanner Fairy
Play in Three Acts.
lnstru mental Duet by Mr.. and Mrs
S. s. Peterson and Vocal Solo
by Mrs. II. II. StrOeter.

On Friday evening, at Brands
opera house, "The Kingdom of
Mother Goose" was presented by the
children of the Whittier school, and
so we'll was the play received that the
management decided to reproduce it
upon the following afternoon. At
each performance the opera house was
we'll filed with an enthusiastic audi
ence, and the enthusiasm was we'll
merited, for the play from beginning
to end was presented without hitch.
OF all the plays presented by local
talent in Princeton "The Kingdom of
Mother Goose" was the best staged,
and this notwithstanding the fact that
the factors and actresses" we're pupils
OF the primary school. There was
smoothness of execution about the
fairy play that would have done credit
to adult professionals-every partici-
pant was perfectly familiar with his
or her part.
Those taking the leading parts were
especially good, Miss Myra Dickey
as "Silvercrown," the fairy queen,
and Miss Esther Mcmillan as 'Mother
Goose" receiving considerable at
tention in the nature of applause from
the audience. Then there was Maurice
Henschel, the "Wondrous Wise Man,
who performed his part like an old
timer, and Lillian Wetter and Georgia
feathers, two little girls with particu-
larly sweet voices, who led the pic
nickers in their singing. Space will
not permit the individual mention of
each performer, but, as we said be-
fore, they are all deserving of high
praise.
The magnificent stage setting, the
scintillating rays of the electric lights,
and the gorgeously colored costumes
of the players had the effect of trans
forming the scene into a veritable
fairyland.
A special feature of the entertain
ment highly deserving of mention was
hute and piano duet executed by Mr..
and Mrs. S. S. Peterson in which
both fully demonstrated their ability
as skilled musicians.
Misses Huse, Tompkins, Bezanson,
McNickle and Davis prepared the
children for the presentation of the
play, and they are certainly entitled
to much cedit for the pains taken to
bring the pupils to such high degree
of perfection in their parts. 1.-THE
Kingdom of Mother Goose was
rare treat to the people of Princeton,
and it is to be hoped that other enter
tainments of similar nature will be
produced in future.
At the matinee on Saturday one of
the special features was vocal solo
by Mrs. M. NJ. Stroeter, which was
excellently rendered.
