the Logan dances. Are you going?

SIMON LOEB 1S DEAD.—The announce-
ment of the sudden death of one of our for-
mer residents was received with sorrow, on
Sunday morning. It was that of Simon
Loeb Esq., known all over Centre county
as one of Bellefonte’s pioneer merchants
and a man whose many friends were sin-
cerely sorry to learn of his death.
He left Bellefonte, in June, 1892, and lo-
cated in Philadelphia, where he was con-
nected with various clothing enterprises
until he became city representative for a
large trimming and supply house. He and
Mrs. Loeb had apartments at 935 north 5th
street and it was there that he died. Al-
though he had been suffering with Bright's
disease of the kidneys for several years,
and had been dangerously near death’s
door several times, his health had been un-
usually good of late. On Saturday he at-
tended -to his usual business and after
an evening at his club returned home
about 12 o’clock. He spoke to Mrs. Loeb
when he entered the room and continued
on to the bath room. When he did not re-
turn within an hour she went to see if any
harm had befallen and was almost pros-
trated to find him dead.
Burial was made at Mt. Sinai cemetery
on Tuesday afternoon.
Simon Loeb was born at Bechtheim,
Hesse Darmstadt, Germany, in 1843. He
was a son of Isaac Loeb and came to America
when only 9 years old. He had three sisters,
all of whom are living: Mrs. M. Fauble
and Mrs. Mollie Newman, of this place,
and Mrs. Frederica, Bloom of Huntingdon.
His father ram a meat market here for a
number of years. When Simon arrived he
was taken to raise by Isaac May, then a
Bellefonte merchant, and went to .work in
his store. When Marks B. Loeb retired
from the firm of May and Loeb, Simon was
taken in and continued in the business
after his benefactor’s retirement. Mean-
while his cousin, the late Adolph Loeb,
had entered the firm, which then became
S. and A. Loeb. They did business here
until 1891, when it was discontinued and
then Simon opened a clothing store in the
room now occupied by Faubles.
Deceased was a veteran of the ‘ate war
and was well advanced in Masonic circles.
NEW YEAR'S EVE.—Bellefonte will find
her New Year’s eve made bright and en-
joyableand it will not be the Logans fault
if the New Year fs not started - in a happy
frame of mind at least.
The annual dance of the firemen will be
held in the Armory where all be decorous
and entertaining. There will be the best
of music, good refreshments, and every-
body having a glorious time.
People who buy tickets and don’t go to
these dances make a mistake, but those
who don’t even buy tickets are almost un-
pardonably short-sighted. The obligation
every community owes its fire organizations
is incalculable. Just think of the last fire
on Bishop street.
It was bitter cold and while you stood
dancing from one foot to another trying to
keep warm, while seeing the sight, there
were volunteer firemen —unpaid men—who
were risking life and limb, ruining clothes,
all for the mere satisfaction of keeping up
the reputation of the companies to which
they belong.
It is a matter of pride with these men to
keep their buildings and apparatus in good
There is nothing substantial in
it for them. Very- few of them own prop-
erty, so that they really have nothing to
protect themselves, yet when they are hon-
est and anxious in the effort to do what
they can for others we should reciprocate.
Bellefonte has a good fire department.
It should be liberally supported and those
who begin to tell tales the minute the
name of a fire company is mentioned should
be left to understand that Bellefonte in-
tends to stand by her firemen.

A WELL KNOWN BAND MAN DeAD.—
One of the best known musicians in Central
Pennsylvania and one who has had much
to do with various Centre county bands is
dead. Prof. Wilson Reitmeyer, died at his
home, on North 7th street, Lewisburg, Pa.
Sunday morning, Nov. 2%, at 7:30 o'clock,
the immediate cause of his death being
dropsy. Deceased was 49 years of age, and
is survived by his wife and four children.
His last spell of iliness continued nine
weeks and all of that time he was confined
to his room. His last words were his wife’s
name and ‘‘good bye.’’
He was born in Lewisburg, on Nov. 12,
1848. When but a small boy he began life
by taking up the art of music and studied
under some of the best teachers known at
that time. After a few years of hard study
he began teaching bands in different lo-
calities.
At the age of 18 he played the violin in
Col’s Wood’s Museum, in Philadelphia.
Mr. Reitmeyer organized the Zion band,
in this county, in 1876, twenty years ago.
He also taught the Pleasant Gap band and
State College bands for a number of years.
AN ACCIDENT AT THE GLASS WORKS. —
Clarence Longacre, the fifteen year old son
of Isaac Longacre, fireman at the glass
works, fell through one of the swing holes
down there, about six o'clock, Saturday
evening, and broke his left leg below the
knee. He was stooping over onc of the
cap boxes, when a bright flash of light
blinded him and he stumbled into the
swing hole before he realized where he
was.
The unfortunate lad was picked up and
taken to his home, where he is now getting
along as well as can be expected.

: The production of the spectacular
extravaganza ‘Miss Philadelphia,” at
Garman’s, last Monday night gave Belle-
fonte theatre goers a glimpse of what stand-
ard of attractions could be brought here if
they were patronized. That was a thor-
oughly entertaining show, one that could
play any house in the United States with-
out fear of the result, yet Bellefonte was
only mediocre in supporting it. It is safe
to say that nothing nearly so fine has ever
been produced in this place and we are
sorry that they did not play to better busi-
ness. The ladies symphony orchestra was
one of the features of the show and added
materially to the music that lends so much
| to it. Miss Louise Allen, Mr. Collier,
© Miss nleCusker, Mr. Ross, Mr. Hyans and
little Lilly Collins are a charmingly clever
lot of people who ought to make any show
go, especially when backed up by all mod-
| trained people.

WHAT THEY DID AT THE MEETING OF
CouNciL.—The borough council met in
regular session, on Monday night.
Benj. Williams, colored, was appointed
a special policeman for night duty aboat
the home of Col. W. Fred Reynolds, the
latter having agreed to bear all the ex-
penses of maintaining the officer. Upon a
request of J. L. Knisely, council exon-
erated the Bellefonte co-operative glass
company for all taxes during 1896. A pe-
tetion presented in behalf of better drain-
age in front of Jared Harper’s Thomas
street house was referred to the Street com-
mittee. Rev. J. P. Hughes petitioned
for an arc light on the west end of
Bishop street. The Street committee
was instructed to put Armor street
in a condition in accordance with the re-
port on improvement made a week or so
ago. A numerously signed petition was
presented to have a new brick crossing laid
over Water street, on the north side of
High.
The Street committee reported the work
already done on High and Spring streets.
It is a matter of public gratification that the
work has been done so well and it will be
but a short time until the resultof doing
things right will be apparent to all.
The Water committee reported the low-
ering of the pipes in several streets where a
change of grade had brought them too near
to the surface; the pumps running full
time, and everything in good shape.
The Finance committee reported a bal-
ance of $7,516.64 due the treasurer, which
was $600 less than was due at the same
time last year, though it was no sign of a
more economically administered govern-
ment, for the tax collector had paid more
than $1,000 more into the treasurysfor this
year than he did last, This was the re-
sult of the increased interest millage.
The Fire and Police committee reported
that both fire companies are in need of
new hose and that a tower for drying pur-
poses would be an advantage in both houses.
The present need is for some place that the
hose can be drained out, after a fire. As it
is much water cannot be gotten out and-as
a result the fabric is rotted.
Bills to the amount of $894.59 were or-
dered to be paid and the meeting adjourned.

IT WiLL. CURE Hog CHOLERA.—The
farmers of Centre county will hail with de-
light the announcement that a cure for hog
cholera has been discovered. . Though
many hundreds have died in this county
during the fall, a remedy might yet prove
the saving of some.
Dr. I. M. Bush, of this place, has been
successful in compounding a remedy that
will cure. The best proof of this assertion
lies in the fact that his remedy effected a
remarkable cure in the case of a hog owned
by L. C. Bullock, at Milesburg. Two of
Mr. Bullock’s hogs had already died with
cholera when Dr. Bush appeared with his
new remedy to practice on the third one,
which was already so nearly dead that rt
couldn’t get up and was getting blue. It
was actually only an hour after the first
dose of medicine had been administered
that the hog was on its feet and trying to
eat. It got well right along and now we
would like all of our readers to know just
where a remedy can be secured.
Hog cholera isa terrible disease and
seems to attack the animals just about the
time owners have spent all that is possible
in fattening them.

JAMES YOUNG, TRAGEDIAN.—Our thea-
tre-goers will have the opportunity of see-
ing James Young, the noted young trage-
dian, on Saturday evening next, when he
will appear at Garman's, in his great scenic
production of Hamlet. This is not Mr.
Young's first appearance here and-he is by
no means unknown to histrionic fame, and
in the East and South for the past three
years he has been winning renown. In per-
sonal appearance heis tall and rather slen-
der, with a face and head of considerable
physical heauty, of a delicate type and
singularly sympathetic. He has a pleasing
voice, and his actions are easy and graceful,
combining in his work the subtlety of Booth
with the eloquence of Barrett and the pas-
sion of Salvini. He brings with him a
good company, including Miss Rida Louise
Johnson, a talented young Baltimore lady,
who holds a high social position in her na-
tive city.
MicHT HAVE HAD His FEET TORN
OFF.—Mr. James Harris, senior member
of the hardware firm of James Harris &
Co., narrowly escaped serious injury last
Saturday and had not a portion of the floor
in their High street building given way he
would be minus some toes to-day.
He was riding the freight elevator from
one floor to another, and was standing with
his feet projecting over the edge of the ele-
vator platform. Not noticing his approach
to the floor above, his feet were caught be-
tween the ceiling and the elevator before
he had time to remove them. Fortunately
the boards broke and he escaped with pain-
ful bruises. Otherwise he would undoubt-
edly have lost parts of his feet, at least.

Schofield, have been entertaining Miss Jessie
Metz, of Altoona, for several weeks.
—Harry T. McDowell, of Abdera, was in town,
on Wednesday, doing a little Christmas buy-
ing. He had in his possession a newspaper car-
toon that was intensely amusing and pictured far
more truth than poetry.
—Mrs. Sallie Shaffer, of Hawkeye, [owa, who
will be remembered by Bellefonte friend s as Miss
Sallie Weaver, a daughter of the late George
Weaver, of this place, will be back to her old
home to-day to make ashort visit. Mr. Shaffer
will be with her and together they will be guests
at the home of Mr. S. A. McQuistion, on West
High street.
—During the stay of the James Young company
in this place, Miss Rida Louise Johnson, the lead-
ing lady, will be the guest of Miss Margaret
Sechler, of Linn street. She and Miss Sechler
were schoolmates at Wilson college. Miss John-
son is a young woman who is making a success of
her art and is one of the coming tragediennes.
—Mrs. P. M;. McDonald brought her little
daughter down from their home in Unionville, on
Tuesday, to see the dazzling sights that now fill
the Bellefonte shop windows. Everything is sug-
gestive of Christmas, and little Miss McDonald is
not one of the kind to fall short in appreciation of
such things. Mrs. McDonald spent the day with
friends in this place.
—Miss Elizabeth G. Muffly and her sister Lillian
have left Bellefonte and gone to Philadelphia to
make their home with their father, Joseph R.
Muffly Esq. In their departure Bellefonte has
lost & charming young woman and an interesting
little girl, both of whom have friendships here
that will make them welcome, indeed, should
they ever decide to return.
—John G. Uzzle Esq., proprietor of the Wash-
ington house at Snow Shoe and one of the most
noted men in that whole region, was in town, on
Monday night, and, like all the rest of us, had a
good time watching “Miss Philadelphia.” She
was a dead clever thing, but not one whit more so
than is John, who laughed most heartily when he
saw the reminder of the days when he used to
lead his own brass band. It wasa good organiza-
tien too, for Johnny Hazel, the great cornet
virtuoso, was among the musicians.
—“Chauncey Bill” Stewart, who has a good
thing in the management of foot-ball and base-
ball at Franklin, Pa., is piloting a party of Pitts-
burgers through the Bear Meadows in Larch of
deer. ‘‘Buck’ Martin is in the party. He will be
remembered as having played third base for the
old Bellefonte Mountain league team during the
early part of the first season. Harry and Fred
McPheely and master Hansome Rose are the
others. There is one thing very certain that if
“Bill” don’t get the deer going in the “Meadows”
he'll have those fellows so well entertained that
they will never dream that getting and knowing
how, are entirely different things.
