——It was needless for Mr. R. A. Beck
to deny the report that he was the man
who was playing flageolet solos on the
street last Friday night. Everyone who
heard the player knew that it could'nt
have been Mr. Beck, because the later is an
artist.
— There is very little doubt as to who
is the best fruit grower in Bellefonte. Those
delicious peaches that Dr. A. W. Hafer
raises, on his Reynolds avenue property,
easily give him rank over any others
that we know of. The doctor is not at all
selfish with his fruit either.
——Three girls recently had a thrilling
experience below Jacksonville. In driving

out, and all proceeded on their way.
——John Howard, a Philipshurg colored
man, was brought to jail here, on Mon-
day, charged with stealing money from the

one of the store clerks, as an accomplice,
but the latter is believed to be innocent
and secured bail.
——Bergman’s automatic’ Swiss village
now on exhibition in the room formerly oc-

South Allegheny street, has been attracting
great crowds. It is truly a wonderful bit
of mechanism and full of interest for those
who take time to look at it as carefully as
it requires.
——On Saturday evening the aid society
of the Methodist church will hold a festi-
val in the room adjoining Harper’s, in the
Exchange. There will be ice cream, cake

in this case is needed to pay a debt your
contribution or patronage will be thank-
fully received.
——The corner stone of the new Meth-
odist church at Milesburg will be laid on
Sunday, the 25th. Methodism is growing
in Centre county. New churches have been
started at Kenneda, on the Howard charge ;
and Hunter’s Run within the last month
or so and here is another that will be push-
ed forward to completion.
——The hack fare from Bellefonte to
Lewistown and return, for the N. G. P. en-
campment, is only $1. This low rate for
the 62 miles will remind some of our old
readers of the days when Lewistown was
our nearest rail-road station and Bob Cum-
mings and Watty Graham ran rival stage
coach lines. The competition between them
got sb hot that they hauled passengers over
for $1 and ga@ them dinner besides.
Harry Williams, one of S. H. Wil-
liams’ painters, performed a remarkable
acrobatic feat, last Monday morning, that
possibly saved him from serious injury.
While engaged at painting the house of
police captain H. H. Montgomery, on east
High street, the ladder on which he was
standing slipped, precipitating him to the
ground. The fall was quite a high one and
might have injured him had he not turned
a flipper. just before he lighted, so that he
struck the ground feet foremost.
CooL ROBBERS CARRY AWAY GOODS
FROM ONE OF BELLEFONTE'S LEADING
STORES.—About the coolest and most de-
liberately worked robbery that police an-
nals have any record of in Bellefonte was
that of Powers’ shoe store, on High street,
in the Arcade, early last Monday morning.
The noise of the work was heard by Mr.
and Mrs. Fritz, who occupy apartments on
‘the second floor of the building, and both
of them saw one of the robbers, while he
looked, deliberately, at them, yet, withal,
the store was opened, many shoes were
taken out, the burglars locked up the room
again and left so coolly thatno trace, what-
ever, remains by which there is any hope
of apprehending them. The story of the
robbery is about as follows :
About 1 o'clock in the morning Mrs.
Fritz was awakened by a bumping sound
that seemed to emanate from the store room
below. She called her hushand’s attention
to her suspicion that there was something
wrong, but he reassured her by explaining :
“Qh, it is only George Williams, the clerk,
putting his bicycle away,”’ as he had been
in the habit of leaving it at the store after
late night rides. Both went to sleep again
and think it wasat least an hour later when
they were aroused by a loud slamming
noise, like that caused by a falling window.
Both Mr. and Mrs. Fritz got up and went
out onto the balcony that runs along the
High street end of the building and were
surprised to see a man standing at the curb
directly in front of Powers’ store. ~Imme-
diately upon his seeing them he ran down
the street and into the main hallway of the
Arcade, but ina few moments he ran out
again and on down Water street.
From the dirty finger marks on the door
and above it it is evident that entry was
made through the transom, one of the kind
that is closed by aswinging window, hinged
at the top. Appearances indicated that
one man entered and then opened the back
store windows, through which the plunder
was passed to confederates waiting on the
out-side. The store was securely locked,
when Mr. Powers entered it Monday morn-
ing, the rear shutters were fastened on the
inside, but not as he had been accustomed
to fasten them and one of the windows was
left hoisted. This led Mr. Powers to be-
lieve that the robber left the store by means
of the transom and that it was the noise
caused by its dropping that. aroused Mr.
‘and Mrs. Fritz.
Some people think that the robbers had
a wagon in the alley, at the rear of the
building, as the rumbling sound of wheels
was heard in that quarter during the
night. And such a thing is unusual.
Mr. Powers is unable to estimate his loss,
as his stock was not in order, it having
been left, from a Saturday rush, to be put
in order on Monday morning. There were
at least thirty pair of fine shoes taken,
three special orders, and possibly more.
The safe was not touched. There was con-
siderable money in it.

ROBBERS ABROAD IN THE TOWN AGAIN.
—The excursions of the robber band, that
has been creating so much alarm among the
women—and we might as well include the
men, too—in this place, for some time, still
goon. And they seem justas secure in
their night-time marauding as ever they
were.
Early last Saturday morning a domestic
in the home of Samuel Sheffer, on east Cur-
tin street, was awakened by some one pok-
ing his hand through the screen door that
opened from the room she was sleeping in
out onto a second story porch, at the rear
of the house. Earlier in the morning she
had been down stairs, trying to cure a
toothache, and at that time heard a strange
noise, but supposing it was made by a dog
she went to bed without further thought
about the matter until the above occurred.
Of course she screamed. The fuss aroused
Mr. Sheffer and the boys, who ran to her
rescue, bui the burglar escaped. He jump-
ed to the ground and fled with his com-
panions, who were evidently waiting be-
low, for several men were seen to run out
of the alley.

HARD LINES FOR A LOVER.—On Mon-
day a young Lock Haven man named Tim
Donnevan came up to this place to see a girl
to whom he had been paying addresses for
some time. When he called at the house
her step-father objected to his entering and
when the suitor persisted he was violently
ejected by the irate head of the house, who
happened to be the possessor of strong
blacksmith arms. .
Nothing daunted the young fellow went
down street and purchased an armful of
groceries, thinking, with these, to cajole
the father into a better impression of him.
But it had quite a contrary effect, for when
he appeared at the house the second time
that worthy sailed into him and gave him
a good trouncing, then called the police and
had him locked up.
The young lady took out a warrant, Wed-
nesday, and had him lodged in jail, for
making threats about her.

RIDING TO BEDFORD.—A party of young
ladies and gentlemen from this place started
overland, to Bedford, last Monday. They
made the trip in what must have been a
very enjoyable way. Some of them were
on horse-back re in a carriage and some
on bicyclés. The party is composed of
Misses Caroline and Annie Valentine, Miss
Elizabeth Blanchard and Miss Alice Wilson,
of this place ; Miss Marcie Seiler, of Harris-
burg ; Ned Blanchard and Frank Rhoads,
of Bellefonte ; and Don Halderman and
Jim Cameron, of Harrisburg.
The crowd that left here was increased
when Hollidayshurg was reached.

——C. H. Bressler, representing the
Democrat publishing company, of Lock

court house officials in a fine piece of
work he was showing and it is likely paved
the way to some trade in this place.
Lock Haven is near at hand and any bind-
ing or blank book making you need can
be promptly done there as well as at any
other place, and far better than at a great
many.

——An old horseman says: ‘‘Now that
fly time is approaching those who have
charge of horses can save a great deal of
annoyance by a simple remedy. When you
go to the stable in the morning, take with
you a sponge and a pail of water. Wash
the eyes and heads of your horses, and
make them as clean as you would like
your own face to be when you appear at
the breakfast table. Did you ever notice
that flies are continually buzzing around
the heads of horses in hot weather? There
is a cause for it, and the cause is that the
heads of horses are dirty. Try the simple
remedy, and see if good results do not fol-
low.” If the operation doesn’t keep the
flies off the washing will be a good thing
for the horses at any rate.
THE ARMY WORM A PEST.—The army
worm is on the march again and from all
parts of the State come reports of the
damage wrought by these multi-legged lit-
tle worms. Their appearance has caused
many people from affected districts to ask
the state department of agriculture for relief
and a circular just sent out by Dr. B. H.
Warren, state zoologist, contains informa-
tion that might help some of our readers to
protect their fields and lawns.
“The fully developed worm is a little
over an inch long, of a gray or dingy black
color with black stripes and narrow lines
of white on back, and the under surface is
of a more or less greenish color ; the head
is smooth and yellowish, with two black
lines running from top to mouth. It has
sixteen legs, and those from the middle of
the body are each marked with a shining
black or blackish band.
The worms, when disturbed, curl them-
selvesiup like “cut worms,”’ and drop to
the ground. They complete their growth
in about one month, at the end of which
period they burrow into the ground an
each caterpillar changes to a brown pupa,
from which, in two or three weeks, the moth
emerges. The female moth is said to lay
about 750 minute and white eggs, and
these hatch in from eight to ten days.
TO PREVENT THEIR SPREAD.
The best authorities recommend the
mowing of a wide swath around the invad-
ed field, then plow a deep furrow with the
straight side toward the part to be protect-
led, and at intervals of a few feet make
holes with a crow-bar, or dig small pits in-
to which the worms entrapped in the ditch
will fall.
Where the number of worms is’ very
great and the ditch becomes partially filled
plow a second furrow, thus covering up the
worms and providing a second line of de-
fence.
Some authorities recommend the use of
kerosene sprinkled over the worms entrap-
ped in the ditch and thereby destroy them;
others use a slight covering of straw which
is set on fire, and accomplish the same re-
sult.
It is also recommended that ordinary
fence hoards be set up on edge, end to end,
across their path, and then apply a coating
of tar or kerosene to this wooden barrier,
which checks their progress. Some ento-
mologists recommend spraying of the grass
ahead of the worms with Paris green, thus
poisoning the forage on which they subsist.
For this purpose one pound of Paris green
to 150 or 200 gallons of water is a proper
proportion.
The most effective method seems to be
recovered..| the constructing of a ditch with the plow,
as stated above, cutting the side next the
part to be protected perpendicular, and
then attending to the destruction of the
worms as they are entrapped in the ditch.”

Wuy WE Dip IT.—The following para-
graph, which appeared in a recent issue of
the Magnet and for which we thank Mr.
Bailey, the editor, needs a word of expla-
nation from the WATCHMAN. The Magnet
said :
The WATCHMAN, decidedly the handsom-
est and best edited sheet in Centre county, is
also remarkably enterprising and issued an
extra edition, Saturday morning, telling all
about the convention.
The edition referred to was the four page
issue of this paper that reached Centre
county readers on Saturday, containing a
full report of the Chicago convention, up
to 12 o'clock Friday night. The WATCH-
MAN had special telegraphic reports from
Chicago up to that hour and as it became
known that no nomination for Vice Presi-
dent would be made it went to press so
that its readers would know who was at
the head of the ticket and how the work
had been done, before the close of the
week. | -
The extra was not published as a money
making scheme. It was simply for the
benefit of regular readers. And, like our
extra and art supplement on the Ettlinger
murder, was appreciated.
These departures are not made without
considerable expense, but that is never con-
sidered when we have an opportunity to
serve our readers.

HarPILY WEDDED.—On Wednesday
evening, at the home of the bride’s father
in Pittsburg, a pretty wedding was solem-
nized, when Miss Anna Hunter, of that
place, and William T. Speer were united
in marriage by the Rev. L. C. Barnes of
the Fourth avenue Baptist church.
Although the wedding was a quiet home
affair, with neither ushers nor attendants, it
was very pleasant and pretty. The bride
was dressed in white organdy over white
silk and carried a shower bouquet of lilies
of the valley. She is the only daughter of
John Hunter, superintendent of highways
of the city of Pittsburg, and is said to be
an attractive and bright girl. .
The groom is the third son of W: T.
Speer, of this place, and when at home was
one of our most popular boys. He has
1been employed by the Crescent pipe line
company for some years and in that time
has not made many visits home.

FLOUR MAKERS TO MEET AT WILLIAM-
SPORT, PA.—The millers of the East are
making preparations for a great convention,
at Williamsport, Pa., on the 19th and 20th
of August, next, under the auspices of the
Pennsylvania millers’ state association.
Topics of vital interest to the trade are to
be discussed, and men prominent in public
life are to be on hand at the different ses-
sions. Sree on
After the adjournment of the business
meetings the millers will start on a twelve
days’ trip to Duluth, via Buffalo and the
lakes, spending several days in the great
milling and grain raising sections of the
Northwest. They will leave Buffalo on
the night of August 21st, arriving back in
Buffalo about September 3d.
Last year the millers met in Philadel-
phia and held their most successful conven-
tion, one of the largest assemblages of mil-
lers ever coming together in the United
States being present at that time ; but it is
expected that a new record will he estab-
lished at Williamsport.
The Pennsylvania millers’ state associa-
tion, it is said, is the largest organization
of its kind in the country, its membership
including flour makers and allied trades-
men from six different States. Col. Asher
Miner, Wilkes-Barre, Pa., is president of
the association, and the secretary is W. H.
Richardson, 227 S. Sixth St., Philadelphia.

WILSON—SAYLOR.—An unostentatious,
though none the less happy marriage, was
that of John H. Wilson and Miss Minnie
E. Saylor, which was solemnized at Rev.
McArdle’s house, Wednesday evening, at
8:30. The ceremony was strictly private,
no one being present but the bride’s sister,
