A meeting was held in the parlors of the Grand Central Hotel here Thursday evening of last week to discuss the matter of a standard gauge trolley line from here to Altoona. The proposition made is that the citizens of this county furnish a right of way and franchises from here to the northern end of the county. The promoters will value the right of way at per cent, of the cost of the line, and upon this valuation they expect to be able to sell bonds to build and equip the line.

A New York syndicate, it is said, will furnish the capital. Another meeting was held here last evening which was attended by about 20 interested persons from Altoona, Roaring Spring and Morrison's Cove. The purpose of the meeting was to ascertain what the people of this section will do toward securing the right of way. BRYAN TIDE STILL RISING.

Reynolds, Your personal organ, the Bedford Inquirer, appears to be very much! outraged because some minister of the Gospel, who was assisted in his education and preparation for the ministry by "The Job Mann Trust," had seen fit to write letters in my behalf to his friends in Bedford County. I certainly appreciate his kindness, even if I am ignorant of his identity --you gave me the only information I have on the subject. Such conduct on his part is most encouraging to me.

In my private, as well as public dealings with my fellow-citizens, I try be kind and polite, and I find that is appreciated. Had you exercised these little graces of the gentleman, and treated the people of this county and district as if they were not created to render you homage and serve your selfish purposes, you would not be surprised when gentlemen outside of the district take an interest in my candidacy and use their humble ef- "orts to advance it. Kindly convey my thanks to my unknown friend. Yours respectfully, Humphrey D. Tate.

liam J. Bryan will be elected by a landslide." This was the announcement by Xorman E. Mack, 011 his return to New York a few days ago to arrange for "the hardest fought finish of any Presidential campaign" in that State. Mr. Bryan is to play the leading part in this finish.

Several United States Senators and other leading Democrats will aid him. "Within the last two weeks 1 have caused a careful poll to be made by captains in hundreds of precincts in New York, Indiana and Ohio to obtain the percentage of Republican loss over four years ago. "The results of that poll were reports shown the percentage of Republican loss in New York to be less than 25 per cent, and in Erie County the losses to the Republicans ran as high as 4O per cent. "Equally large losses to the Republicans were shown not only in Ohio ana Indiana, but in the 12 other states which the two parties are contesting. "These figures mean only one tiling --Bryan's election by tremendous pluralities." Mr.

Mack declared manufacturers and business men threatening, in the event of Bryan's election, to shut their factories should be indicted. i the candidate for the Republican party for the nomination for District Attorney and three times the nominee, seems to be anxious that this office belong permanently to him; and Boss Reynolds seems to be looking after Simon's interests. This ollice, in times past, was considered a stepping stone for young attorneys, but under the present management of the G. O. Simon is a permanent fixture; no others need apply.

None possess the Simon- pure Republicanism of Simon; that is, subserviency and obedience to Reynolds. This, in the opinion of LUTHERAN CONVENTION Held at Everett Last Week Interesting and Profitable. In the Zion Lutheran Church of Everett Tuesday and Wednesday of last week the Lutheran Sunday School Association held its 27th annual convention. The opening session was held Tuesday evening at 7 3 0 o'clock. Rev.

C. D. Russell made the address of welcome, which was responded to by the president of the association, Frank E. Colvin, Esq. The meeting of this convention at a different place each year has done much for the cause of Lutheranism in this county.

The association was organized in Everett twenty-six years ago and a number of persons who were then Boss Reynolds, is the test for Repub- 1 present and helped to form this flour- FOR REGISTER AND RECORDER BROAD TOP TEACHERS September 7, 1908.

Our institutes nearly always are interesting but occasionally we have one which is more helpful and interesting than the others; this was one. The committee had arranged for special music for both afternoon and evening.

Rev. Colburn sang several solos and the Male Quartet rendered several selections. The afternoon session was opened with devotional exercises conducted by Rev. R. H.

Colburn. After disposing of some miscellaneous busi- nesst, the chairman introduced Prof. Oscar R. Myers of Juniata College, who delivered a strong and instructive address on "The Value of an Educational Ideal." He said that since the teacher has so much to do with the forming of proper ideals in others, he of all others should know tne difference between a proper ideal one and should licaii officeholders in. this county.

The discussions were all very entertaining and those took want the office perpetually, provided part in the different topics handled Reynolds is elected to Congress, for the subjects in an able manner.

Reynolds as a Citizen of Bedford "Will the merchants, the butchers, the bakers, the grocers, the tailors, the barbers, and the laboring men of Bedford and vicinity look over their business affairs and ascertain how much, in dollars or in cents, their business has been encouraged by our distinguished Representative in Congress during the past ten years? Where does he appear as of any advantage to the business interests of the town? Where does he spend his money? Business men of Bedford can only make money when the people of the town spend money.

Mr. Reynolds has been a member of Congress for four years--how much of his salary, as such member, has he spent in Bedford? Ask him this question, when he comes to you to solicit your vote to return him to Washington. "One good turn deserves another." We are all dependent upon each other--it will never do for one man to get all and make no return to his neighbors. association's treasury. The next annual meeting will be held at Schellsburg.

Resolutions were adopted commending the spirit manifested at the meeting, thanking the church r-hoir for its excellent music, and the hospitable people ot Everett Cor their entertainment. The following officers were elected for the ensuing year: Frank E. Colvin, President; J. T. Matt of Everett, Vice President; H.

Colburn who emphasized in strong terms the importance of more moral instruction in the public school, even though to do so would necessitate the eliminating of one or two branches from our present too- mnch-crowded curriculum. It was decided at this session to engage a lecture and entertainment course to consist ot five numbers. This session was only a forerunner of what was to follow in the evening Francis M.

Amos, the candidate for and Recorder, is the only soldier on the Democratic ticket, and as he has made an efficient and accommodating officer for the past term, he deserves to be re-elected. There will not be many more opportunities for voters to cast ballots for the veterans of the Rebellion, and in voting for Mr. Amos you will aid a worthy veteran of Co. 194th Regiment Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry. Mr.

Amos believed that within a year after he was discharged from the hospital he would be able to walk without using crutches, but the injury received in the wreck on the Dry Fork Railroad in West Virginia, has made him a permanent cripple. His trade was that of machinist, but he can no longer follow it. He is exceedingly attentive and careful in the performance of his duties, ib strictly temperate and a good penman and he merits re-election. I'. O.
