The Coming Centennial.
At a meeting of the executive com-
mittee of the Centre county Centennial
Commission held in the office of president
Reeder, in Bellefonte, Monday night,
enough was learned to warrant the asser-
tion that the events of the two days will
far surpass any similar demonstration ever
undertaken in this State.
The chairmen of a number of the com-
mittees were present to formulate their
plans for final discussion before calling
their sub-committees, named below, to-
gether for co-operation in the work of
carrying them into effect. Without going
into a detailed account of what was done
at the meeting it can be covered in a gen-
eral way as follows :
On the question of the parade it was
about decided to have two pageants. One
to be of an industrial and civie character
aud the other to include the military and
firemen’s organizations. It is probable
that if something official 1s ready to be
done about the Curtin monument at that
time an entire regiment or so of the N. G.
P. will be ordered here by the Adjutant
General and an effort is also being made to
have our sister town, Philipsburg, relin-
quish her claim on the next meeting of
the Central Pennsylvania Firemen’s Con-
vention so that it can be held in Bellefonte
one day, thereby adding greatly to the at-
tractions of the Centennial. This would
be an exceedingly graceful act on the part
of Philipsburg and it is not beyond hope
that it will be done.
In the way of music, several of the best
bards in the county will be engaged for
the parades, but one fine professional con-
cert band will be engaged for both days, so
that it will be giving concerts, continuous-
ly day and evening, in pavilions especially
erected for that purpose in various parts of
the town. The chairman is also planning
a chorus, the like of which has never been
heard in this county. He will probably
issue an. appropriate selection to each one
of his sub-committeemen with instructions
to have them gather the largest chorus of
good voices possible in their respective com-
munities and have the selection rehearsed
so that it can be sung properly by the
thousand or more voices, in all, when they
gather here for the Centennial.
In theg amusement line many attractive
entertainment features were reported.
Among them will probably be a captive
balloon, in which all who care can take a
trip to the height of 1000 ft in the air,
magnificent fire works, racing and athletic
sports of every kind, a great open air
Kinctescope that will show moving pic-
tures and reproduce old and historic scenes
in Centre county ; grand balls and recep-
tions will be given to the visitors at night
and an effort is to be made to secure either
the Ringling or Forepaugh circus as an at-
traction too.
The Hon. Fred Kurtz, of Centre Hall,
the official historian, was present and de-
tailed the plan of his work. which he in-
tends will give to the county a very
thoughtfully prepared digest of the inci-
dents and men directly connected with the
march of progress during the last 100 years.
Then the matter of decorations was
brought up and chairman Conley announc-
ed that as soon as they have adopted an har-
monious scheme for street decorations they
will place the entire work in the hands
of a professional decorator. It is probable
that the Diamond will be made a sort of
court of honor, enclosed by ornamental col-
amns that will extend for a square along
eitherside of the three principal approaches.
There will be arches and columns at other
points in town and the North ward school
grounds will probably be illumined and ar-
ranged for a great amphitheatre.
These are only some of the plans that are
being worked out now, but they are enough
to show the magnitude of the coming cele-
bration of July 25th and 26th. The sub-
committeemen were named and selected as
follows :

——A wreck on the Beech Creek rail-
road, near the town: of Beech Creek, Sun-
day morning at 4 o’clock made one of the
finest ‘‘mixups’’ that has been seen in
many a day. It was a collision between
sections one and two of train two. No-
body was hurt. Section one was going
east over the ‘‘straight track,’”’ when the
air brake attach ment gave away in some
manner, the air was automatically applied
and the train came to a standstill. A few
minutes afterward section two came along
and crashed into the rear end of No. 1.
Engineer Russell King, of section two, saw
the lights of the caboose ahead, but the
momentum of his train on the down grade
prevented him from stopping it. Fireman
Frank Russell jumped when he saw that a
collision was inevitable. Engineer King
stuck to his post until the very last mo-
ment when he, too, leaped from the cab.
The engine plowed into the train ahead
and then toppled over on the bank, where
the wreckage of six cars and their con-
tents of soft coal covered it completely.
The wreck crew from Jersey Shore was
sent to the scene of the accident, but it
required ten hours to clear the tracks.

THE UNITED BRETHREN CHURCH RE-
OPENED.—The last beautiful spring Sun-
day was a providential realization of the
hopes of the members of the United Breth-
ren church in this place who had been look-
ing forward to it for some time as the day
on which their pretty little house of wor-
ship, at the corner of High and Thomas
streets, would be reopened and rededicated
to the service of the Master.
During the time it was closed, new paint
brightened up the exterior, artistic fresco-
ing lent an additional charm and sacred
significance to the inside and a new carpet
was laid; giving the entire church an ap-
pearance of inviting comfort that speaks
volumes for the energetic, modest people
who compose its membership.
The services of the day were conducted
by Rev. W. W. Williamson, of Altoona,
who preached the opening sermon in the
morning at 10:30. He was assisted during
the day by Rev. G. W. Sherrick of Ty-
rone, presiding elder of this district; Rev.

seriously hurt.

using phosphate this season on their spring
crops. The results shown by the use of acid

Notices have been posted by chief burgess
John Riter demanding that all dogs running
at large be muzzled. The burgess thought it
wise to take the dogs off the streets before
any harm was done, the dog scare Rebers-
burg had last summer furnishing the warn-
ing. The idea is a good one, and no one
should complain about such regulations. A
dog is always to be feared, during the sum-
mer months especially. If the stock on
hand would be decimated by one hundred
per cent. dog heaven would then be full and
every man safe from rabbies.
Sidney Royer, a young son of Edward
Royer, was kicked on the head by a horse
Thursday of last week and seriously in-
jured. Sidney and his playmates were toss-
ing the hall about the livery stable and in
some way the ball landed under the horse.
In his effort to get the ball the horse kicked
the boy on the head about three inches above
the eye, breaking the skull. Dr. Lee
dressed the wound, and at present the
injured lad is doing as well as can be ex-
pected. Part of the time the youth is un-
conscious, but when out of a stupor scems
rational. At this writing the boy is much
improved and there are prospects for his en-
tire recovery.

out visitors.
Supt. Frank Clemson is out his fine driv-
ing mare Maud, who had to be killed on ac-
count of a broken pastern joint. It was
broken by a kick of another horse and as it
was a clean break at the joint it was decided
best to kill her, as in all probability the
joint would have been stiff. H. H. Goss was
also called upon to bury his valuable horse
last week.
Gen. Grant Thomas, after a prolonged
visit among Centre county relatives, has re-
turned to Wyoming, where he intends to set-

moss to grow. He is a strong, sturdy woods-
man and has had some thrilling adventures
on the western frontier.
The Lutheran Sabbath school room has
been handsomely improved as well as en-
larged which was done by finishing and fit-
ting up an unused room. The side-walls and
ceiling were papered in terra cotta, the wood
work painted to harmonize and a handsome
carpet put down making a very pleasing
room. If the windows corresponded with
the ones in the upper room the job would be
complete,but asit is Mr.Aikens deserves much
credit for undertaking and completing a
satisfactory improvement. The new room
is to be used for the primary department.

of Lock Haven; Fleming, of Snow Shoe:
Kumerant, of Philipsburg; Kelly, of Reno-
vo, and McCarthy, of Lewistown.
Women Get Rich as Well as Men.
How One Woman Makes $18.00 to $40.00 a Week.
Many women say it is hard to get along in the
world because they do not have the chance to
make money that men do. I disagree with them,
for I am perfectly independent since starting in
business a few months ago, and never make less
than $18.00 a week, and often as much as $40.00. I
am selling Baird's Non-Alcoholic Flavoring
Powders, which are much superior and cheaper
than the liquid extracts sold in stores. Before
starting I wrote to the Baird Mfg. Co., Baird
Building, Pittsburg, Pa., and obtained samples
which we tried in cakes, candies, custards, and
ice cream at our church sociable. Everything
was so delicious that 1 wrote for the agency at
once, and had no trouble in establishing a regular
trade with my neighbors, which only occupies
the time I can spare from household duties. The
manufacturers say they will employ any earnest
person, man or woman, who can spare all or part
of their time, and I can say I never heard of
such an easy way to make money. MRS. W—
