A. Schaeffer, on east Curtin street, last Tuesday evening. It was the first time the plant has bloomed in four years. —DMrs. Kate Horner, relict of Wm. Horner, of near Centre Hall, and Ms. Isaiah Coxey, of Boalshurg, are two Centre county widows who have lately been granted pensions. The good news came for them on Monday. ——The corner stone was laid for a /new United Evangelical church in Unionville, last Sunday afternoon. Rev.

Dr. and Mis. Ward are pleasing entertainers and there will be plenty of good things to eat. You are cordially invited to be pres- ent whether you are a Methodist or not. It is said that some of the good Presbyterian elders wore the gable ends of their picnic trousers shiny back-sliding, at Hecla park, on Wednesday. The way the stiffest of them limbered up and shook their old blue socks in the cake walk would have made areal old fashioned shin- dig assume the gravity of a foreign mis- sionary society meeting in contrast. Harry Brooks, of Tyrone, wouldn’t impress anyone as being near old enough for such an event but he and Mis. Brooks actually did celebrate the twenty-fifth an- niversary of their marriage, last Friday night, or their friends did it for them. Harry is about the youngest looking man we have ever known to have heen married that length of time. ——The Democratic state convention at Reading, last week. appears to have been a little too much for Hammon Sechler Esq., of Linn street. He was one of the delegates from this county and has been indisposed ever since his return ; in fact it is necessary for him to be driven to and from hi$ business, a very unusual thing for Mr. Sechler, who is usually so active. ——The 12th annual convention of the missionary societies of the West Susque- hanna classis of the Reformed church was in session here, Tuesday evening and Wednesday. The program, as published in our last week’s issue, was adhered to and an interesting session resulted. There was a very good representation of the soci- eties of the district. The officers for the ensuing vear are: President and treasur- er, Rev. W. A. Haas; vice president, Jared Harper ; secretary, Miss Lizzie Moyer. —The Logans had a perfect day, on | Saturday, for their picnic at Hunter's park | and a fair sized crowd had a good time up | there. Everything that was advertised, from the ox-roast to the ball game between the fats and leans, came off and there was not a disturbance of any sort to mar the pleasure of those who were there. Cyrus Brumgart and Samuel Weiser, of Millheim, had charge of the barbecue and carried it out very successfully. Though not one of the largest the Logans can congratulate themselves on having had as nice a picnic of the kind as has ever been given in this community AN EXCITING CHASE AFTER A BICYCLE THIEF.—On Wednesday Allison, alias “Edward,’’ Woodring arrived in this place on an 1896 Crawford bicycle. He offered the wheel for sale at such a ridicuously low figure, $10, that he at once excited suspicion and the police were notified, thinking that he might possibly be the man who was wanted in Lock Haven for having stolen a machine from John Waites agency. When officer Mullen found Woodring he was at Wetzel’s repair shop having some repairs made. In answer to the officer’s inquiry he offered to sell the wheel, and said it was his brother’s. When asked where the latter was to be found he said he was at the Brant house and accompanied Mullen there. The brother was not to be found, then the boy said his brother might be at the P. R. R. depot and started to hunt him there. After detailing a boy to trail the suspect Mullen went back to Wetzel’s to examine the wheel and had scarcely reached that place when the boy ran to him and told him that Allison had started down the P. R. R. tracks as fast as he could go. Lester Shefer, at Morris’ pike quarries, was called and asked to look out for the fellow, meanwhile the officer jumped into a buggy and started in pur- suit. Shefer found him in the act of boarding a freight at the lime kilns and in offering to show him where he could get a drink of water lured him across the creek to the Central railroad side. He tried to detain him there until officer Mullen would ar- rive, Woodring hecame suspicious and went off on a run down the tracks. Then Shefer mounted his bicycle and started down the pike to head him off at the nail works, but when the fugitive saw that he was being pursued he jumped into the creek and swam to the other side and struck for the mountain. Shefer was not long in getting around there, so that he was close on his heels when he entered the woods near about where James Derr lives. The race was becoming exciting and a score or more people who had been at- tracted by the mysterious actions of the two men were bringing up the rear. Over rocks and through laurel Woodring clambered as fast as possible until Shefer called to him to stop or he would shoot. This threat brought masters to a momenta- ry crisis, but when Woodring saw that his pursuer did not have a gun he started off again. By a detour Shefer was able to head him and hold him up with a big stone and by that time Mullen was . there and took him in charge. When taken before justice Keichline, Woodring said that he had hired the wheel in Philipsburg to ride to Munson, but had decided to come on over here. He was re- manded to jail, where he gave his name as Edward Woodring, but was quickly recog- nized as Allison Woodring, of near Port Matilda. PROBABLY THE CATTLE THIEF. Last Monday night three valuable cows were stolen from the barn of Jacob Wood- ring, two miles west of Port Matilda, and were driven on down to Bald Eagle, where the thief sold them to Gus McClain, a dairyman, for $32. McClain described the man from whom he had bought the stolen cows as being rather slender, about 26 years old and wearing a light cap, black cheviot suit and black striped shirt. As the description tallies exactly to Wood- ring’s appearance the police think he is the man who did that job. Mr. McMul- len was sent for but did not get down here yesterday, as expected, so no identification has been made. The bicycle is the property of a man by the name of Goss, of Philipsburg. He ar- rived here on the late train last evening | and identified both the wheel and Wood- ring. The police say that Woodring is wanted at Austin, Potter county, for forgery, for which crime constable Cowher, of Port Matilda, once had him under arrest, but was given the ‘‘slip.”’ *e A HINT FOR OUR VILLAGE IMPROVE- MENT SOCIETY.—Over in Osceola they have hit upon an exceedingly original plan for beautifying the town and because of its originality and exceptional practicability | we want to call the attention of our vil- | lage improvement society to it. Every secret society represented in the town of Osceola has agreed to prepare a flower bed | the design of which will, as nearly as pos- | sible, represent the emblem of the society, both in color and insignia. The result will be a number of beautifully laid out | and diligently cared for flower beds that will tend to give the town an additional charm. i Such an idea would be splendid in Belle- | fonte. With the Knights Templar, Ma- | sons, Odd Fellows, Golden Eagles, P. O. S. of A., J. O. U. A. M., Heptasophs, Roy- al Arcanum, G. U. 0. O. of F. and G. A. | R., all capable of carrying out such an idea, just see how many localities could be beautified in the town. A friendly rivalry among the members of the various socie- ties would guarantee that such flower beds would always appear to the best advantage, for each society would be ambitious to have the prettiest. Ea ad i MURDER WILL Our.—The local police | are hard at work on a murder clue and if | | what they say is true this place might | | soon be shocked by the startling news of a i horrible murder that they think was per- | petrated in Bellefonte several years ago, | | but is just now leaking out. | - ede ——Peach growing has proven a very | profitable venture for those who have un- dertaken it in this section.

A share of your patronage is so- licited. re tab ——Pierce Lingle, of Poe Valley, is the champion snake story man of the season. The other day he killed a catamount with a blow from a hatchet and followed it up by taking thirty live rattle snakes from the same den. Last Saturday he was out in the mountain looking for his cattle, when he saw a large blacksnake, but was unable to kill it with a shot from his gun. Then he converted the gun into a club and dispatched the nine foot monster just as it was about to coil about him for a fatal squeeze. —_—— —The story is told on a Tyrone min- ister, and we wouldn't like to tell which one of them, that a member of his con- gregation, by name Miss Helen Hunt, picked up a small bible that was lying in the aisle of the church, one Sunday morn- ing, as she was hurrying out from service. As there was nothing in the book to indi- cate to whom it belonged she spoke to the pastor and suggested that he announce the fact of her find on the following Sunday. He did it in this way: “The person who dropped a small bible, in flexible cover, in the main aisle at last Sunday’s service can go to Hel-en Hunt for it.” Then he won: dered why everyone smiled. GooD MUSIC AT THE PARK.—The Con- solidated band’s orchestra will have charge of the dancing pavilion at Hecla park to- morrow afternoon and evening and fine music for dancing will be furnished. There will be eight or ten pieces in the orchestra, with such soloists as Lemuel Beerly, Frank Wetzler and Charley Rote playing. The dancing will be conducted as it usually is and everyone of good character and behavior will have access to the floor. > ae Foor BALLISTS IN TRAINING. — The Pennsylvania State College candidates for positions on the first eleven are down at Hecla park doing preliminary work and working the soreness out of them, prepar- atory to the beginning of the regular sea- son. The men are tenting and are having a very good time. Every morning they work a little on the track, then practice quick starting and passing the ball and tackling on the dummy. After this is done they take a rub down and loaf the rest of the day. Murray, Sholl, Curtin, Ruble, Heckle and Mechesney of last year’s team are there and Randolph, Cartwright, Kewer and Miller are the new men who had reported up to yesterday. John Emery is chef and James Thomas is the all around man of the camp. eS rir THE BOROUGH SOLONS GOT TOGETHER. —Council met, last Monday night, and there was a right fair representation pres- ent. Mis. Jonathan Harper was given permis- sion to connect the drain pipe from Ler Thomas street property to the sewer run- ning along that street. The Street committee reported laying of several crossings along Logan street and the placing of a new arc light on east How- ard street. The Water committee reported repaiis to No. 2 hoiler at the works and stated that a new wall is being built around the spring. Council ordered the water works buildings repaired at an approximate cost of $250. The Nuisance committee reported that the high constable is becoming a derelict and council moved to notify his hondsmen that he has not been doing his duty. Council decided to invite proposals for laying a board walk along the east side of Spring street, from Curtin to Fifth Ave., and also for removing the iron rail and wid- ening the pavement at the Adams express office, on west High street. After authorizing the payment of bills to the amount of $753.05 the session was ad- journed. AN Up-Tro DATE MINSTREL PERFORM- ANCE.—As a minstrel manager Hi Henry has always been popular in Bellefonte and | that because an announcement of his ap- pearance has invariably carried with it a guarantee of a clean, up-to date attraction. With as clever a lot of musicians and black. face artists as could have - been desired he opened the season, at Garman’s, on Friday night, and the ‘S. R. 0.” sign was out before the curtain rolled. It was an un- usual condition for a Bellefonte play house at this time of the season but the great audience was highly pleased with every- thing from the opening overture to the last toot of Arthur Deming’s horn in the concluding farce. Among the members that aroused the audienge to enthusiastic encores were Harry Leighton’s singing of ‘‘the Mother of the Girl I Love,” a very pretty senti- mental ballad that he sang with excep- tional effect. Arthur Deming made a hit with “Don’t you see the Love a Shinin in my Eye.”” Deming is one of the best black face comedians in the business, having made a success of his work by his originality and inimitable ways. With a fine voice he sings all his songs away above the aver- age for comedians and relies entirely on his conversational wit for his hits. Little Dan Allman isn’t a member of the aggregation for nothing and he sang and danced his “Hot Stuff”” until the whole house was in an uproar. John King’s ten minute danc- ing specialties was possibly the most in- tricate and difficult combination of steps ever seen at Garman’s and he earned the prompt recall that he got. About the greatest drawing feature of the company is the band of twenty-five pieces. Minstrel bands are seldom half so large, but Mr. Henry is so prominent as a cornet virtuoso that he has made his organization about the finest one traveling and the impression it makes on the street must certainly have much to do with the business of the company. The greatest all-round man with the company is J. Albert Gates, whose versa- tility seems to have no end. As press man we have never met a more gentleman- ly nor affable one ; as interlocutor no com- pany needs a better ; as a corneter he merited his share of the vigorous applause that followed his duet with Mr. Henry, but as an Alaska Indian——well, Ga tes wasn’t made to play Indian parts. He would be all right for Santa Claus at a Sunday school Xmas entertainment and maybe he was all right as an Indian, after all, because it was a farce and his being Indian was about the funniest thing in it. — oe — A PLEASING ATTRACTION COMING, — On Thursday evening, Sept. 16th, the peo- ple of Bellefonte and vicinity will have an opportunity of hearing a musical attrac- tion such as is seldom secured for this place. The peerless Park sisters, cornet, trombone, zither, and musical novelty ar- tists, will give one of their concerts for the benefit of the Lutheran church. From press and pulpit they are pro- nounced remarkable in their performances and the New York 7ribune but recently said : ‘‘The entertainment by the Misses Park was as refined and varied as it was attractive. Not only were they successful in delighting, but they completely aroused the audience to enthusiasm.” *e Fast WHEELMEN To BE AT HECLA PARK ToMORROW.—Tomorrow being the occasion of the joint reunion of the Veter- an associations of Centre and Clinton coun- ties an unusual program has been prepared for the entertainment of those who go to the park. For the Veterans there will be the regu- lar business meeting at 10:30 a. m., when committees will be appointed and the place for the next meeting selected. The treas- urer of the association will report. After dinner the committees will report and ad- dresses will be made by former State Sena- tor A. F. Thompson, of Lykens, Gen. James A. Beaver, and others. At 3 o’clock there will be a dress parade and review by Gen, J. I. Curtin and Capt. G. T. Michaels. While the Vets are having a good time among themselves there will be several ball games in the park. The teams from towns along the line of the rail-road are going to take advantage of the opportunity of con- testing with one another on the park grounds. : The greatest event of the day will be the bicycle races that will be run dur- ing the afternoon. Six races in all will be run and some very fast riders will com- pete. The Central company has offered | prizes to the amount of $150, among them being diamond rings, diamond studs and diamond pins. port, and Gstalder, of Allentown, will ride a three mile pursuit race. That is they will start at opposite sides of the track. The effect of this kind of racing is to make riders ride fast from the scratch. They cannot trail one another and leave it all for a spurt on the stretch. Bud Moore will also ride for a track record. ei THE Lock HAVEN HOSPITAL OPEN.— The new hospital at Lock Haven was opened, on Tuesday afternoon, and the following staff of physicians appointed : Drs. Armstrong, Shoemaker and Furst, as the medical staff, and Drs. Watson, Hayes and Ball, as the surgical staff. Drs. Armstrong and Watson were appoint- | ed a committee on medical supplies.
