SOMETHING FOR CREAMERY MEN TO
ExpLAIN.—For several months a party of
agents for creamers have been working
Centre county territory and so many un-
savory stories about their business are
afloat that we feel it our duty to warn the
public against them until the men dis-
prove the same.
They drive about the country in wagons,
carrying creamery outfits with them
which they work off on the farmers where
ever they can. Two of these agents made
Newcomer’s hotel on Bishop street their
headquarters for several nights while they
they were working territory adjacent to
Bellefonte and while working about there
never left a trace of the company they rep-
resent or a card showing their home office.
Each time they returned to the hotel they
would register from a different place and
the agent in charge of one of the wagons
would register under a different name each
time he returned. This excited some sus-
picion and inquiry was made by a WATCH-
MAN representative who found that many
stories are afloat as to the way they
are doing business.
They are said to visit a farm and leave a
creamer or separator outfit on trial, assur-
ing the farmer that he need not take it at
all if it doesn’t prove satisfactory and if he
does decide to take it he will not be called
upon for pay until next March. All the
agent cares to have is a receipt to show his
company in whose hands the article in
question has been left. The receipt, as
might be expected, turns out to be a judg-
ment note and when once signed the farm-
er has no redress but to pay the price of
the article left with him ; the price being
in the neighborhood of $60.
Harvey Keller, who lives on the Isaac
Stover farm back of Zion, is said to have
had experience with one of these agents.
Mr. Keller is said ‘to have ‘signed one of
the receipts, but his alert wife, who was
looking over his shoulder at the time, dis-
covered its true nature and warned her
husband. He thereupon asked ‘the agent
to be shown the note book again in’ which
the note-receipts were kept and having it
in his hands went to tear out the one he
had given. The agent, who was a hig fel-
low. grabbed Mr. Keller. The latter then
picked up a club to defend himself ; where
upon he was confronted by a revolver lev-
eled at his head.
These are only some of the stories that
are afloat concerning the operations of
these itinerant creamery agents. Wecan’t
vouch for their truth, but we would ad-
vise the farmers to have nothing to do with
the men in question until they make expla-
nation. The columns of the WATCHMAN
are open to them and if they are doing an
honest business they will not be slow to
refute these stories to the contrary.

FURTHER IMPROVEMENT PLANNED FOR
THE ACADEMY.—The recent marvelous
growth of the Bellefonte Academy has been
a matter that has brought that institution
to the notice, not only of educators but to
the business men of the entire community.
The school has always enjoyed a reputa-
tion for superior scholastic attainments,
but has had the ups and downs that have
marked the course of so many institutions
of its sort. The last few years, however,
have seen a great revival, both in the edu-
cational advantages and the number of
students at the Academy.
In recognition of this marked advance-
ment and noting the business advantages
contingent upon a large and prosperous
preparatory school, such as the Academy
aims to be, a number of the graduates of
the institution have taken up the proposi-
tion to enlarge it and put it on a basis to
compete with. the best sehools in the
country.
The plan is to erect a new building on
the northern end of the gromnds, which
will be separate and distinct from the
main building. The basement will be
| fitted up for a gymnasium, on the second
floor there will be study and class rooms
| and on the third a large auditorium will
fill a much needed want in supplying a
suitable room in which to’ hold school
meetings, lectures, entertainments and so-
cial functions, thus improving the social
side of life at the school.
Such a building will make the Academy
equipment most complete and put Mr.
Hughes in a position to reach out for more
students; The Bellefonte merchants ought
to have little trouble in discerning the ad-
vantage to them of having such a sehool
here, consequently this latest move ought
to meet with hasty encouragement for
that quarter especially ;

famous old highwaymen are credited with

William Garlin, of New Bloomfield, Perry
county, is said to have found it a few days
ago. By the way of adding a little to the
interest of the story the Lock Haven Dem-
ocrat states that they were captured along
the Sinnemahoning, which makes three
places at which they were captured, for
some of the stories fix it as along the Bald
Eagle creek, while others fix it as at the
old chain bridge over the Raystown branch
of the Juniata near Bedford. The latter is
probably nearest it, for Lewis and Conley
were both confined in the Bedford-jail.

ing money on his Bishop street hotel prop-
esty, but if such is the case he has the re-
sults there to show for it. The latest ad-
dition is the introduction of two Krumrine
hot air furnaces at the cost of $600. By
them the big hotel is thoroughly heated,
fourteen rooms having direct connection

A NoraBLE OLD RAILROADER.—On the
last day of the nineteenth century James
E. Waddle, better known as ‘‘Unele Jim-
mie,’’ completed his thirty-seventh year’s
service on the Pennsylvania railroad. His
first run was over the Bald Eagle valley on
January 1st. 1863, and through all those
years he has continued on the same line.
| As conductor of the local freight he enjoys,
with the veteran passenger conductor Alli-
son Haupt, a very wide acquaintance.
Though his white hair and beard would

Two WomMEN Hep Up oN LINN
STREET.—The famous $25,000 kidnaping
case of the Cudahy kid in Omaha, the
hold-ups in Chicago in broad day-light
and the sand-bagging outrages in Phila-
delphia and New York have had their ef-
fect on the vicious element of Bellefonte,
for on Wednesday night east Linn street
was thrown into a panic of terror over two
hold-ups.
Shortly after nine o’clock Maggie Her-
man, a servant at the home of John M.
Dale, was returning from meeting at the
United Brethren church. She had turned
out east Linn street from Allegheny and
was just crossing the alley between the
Butts property and the home of Jos. L.
Montgomery, when a man jumped out and
grabbed her saying: ‘‘T am going to kiss
you.’ Maggie israther a stalwart girl and
evidently objected to such sudden oscula-
tory overtures, for she fought the man off
and ran into the middle of the stieet
screaming for help. He then disappeared
up the alley.
Half an hour earlier Mrs. Holloway,
wife of Rev. Dr. H. C. Holloway, pastor
of the Lutheran church, was assaulted
about three blocks further east on Linn
street. She was walking along in front of
the home of the late Judge Orvis when a
young man suddenly stepped up beside
her and asked if he could see her home.
Mrs. Holloway was frightened and said :
‘“‘How dare you, do you know who I am.”
Her assailant replied that he did and in-
sisted on going with her. Then he grab-
bed her and tried to throw her down, but
she struck him in the face and was able to
save her purse, which contained a large
sum of money, by w rapping it in the folds
of her skirt. She cried for Dr. Holloway
then and the man ran away.
The case was brought to burgess Blanch-
ard’s attention and he assigned several
officers to it. Be it said to their credit
that they had taken up the cl ueand had
a suspect under surveillance before'9
o'clock yesterday morning. At 11 o'clock
officer Mullen and detective Rightnour
arrested James Gallagher at his home on
Borough street. He was not up yet, but
the officers soon had him. They took
him before Mrs. Holloway, who identified
him positively. He was committed ‘to the
lock-up and at 2 o'clock taken before the
the burgess who released him. Im-
mediately detective Righénour confronted
him with a warrant and he was taken be-
fore justice Harshberger for a hearing.
W. E. Gray appeared for him and upon an
amicable agreement between all parties
the case was postponed until 10 o'clock
this morning. Charles Schad went bail
for the boy in the sum of $500
Gallagher is 17 years old. He is the son
of James Gallagher and is not known to
have any bad or vicious habits. Until
last November he was a core maker at the
Jenkins and Lingle foundry, but has not
been working since that time. He admits
having been on Linn street alone on Wed-
nesday evening, but denies having made
either assault.
‘Maggie Herman was at the hearing, but
could not identify him because, as she
said, she was too badly frightened to notice
anything.

BARNARD CHOSEN AS THE SCULPTOR.—
In the last edition the WATCHMAN
briefly stated the fact that George Gray
Barnard, the sculptor, was in town to con-
fer with the mem bers of the committee on
design for the soldiers monument and Cur-
tin memorial.
The WATCHMAN has already published
a sketch of Mr. Baroard’s life, including
comments. on his later works that have
brought him more than passing prominence
among the sculptors of the day. While
here he was the guest of Wm. P. Humes
and a dinner was given in his honer Thurs-
day evening. The guests were Mr. Bar-
nard, Dr. Geo. W. Atherten, Gen. Jas. x
Beaver, Col. Wilbur I. Reeder, Jno. M.
Dale, Ellis’ L. Orvis and Chas. M. Me-
Cardy.
Later the party retired to the an of
the Humes home where they were met by
John C. Miller, Capt. Jas. Boal, of Centre
Hall, and Capt. S. H. Bennison, of Jack-
sonville, and a formal meeting of the com-
mittee held. Mr. Barnard then ‘talked de-
ghsaly. for: more than an hour on the
t of interest, the monument,’ and re-
LA "He ‘bad heen gone but a few | mo-
men's when the committee unanimonsly
decided to recall him and give into his
charge the design for the monument. ' He
left. Friday niorning for his home in ‘New
York, but expects to return later in: the
spring, when he will - have completed de
signs for the monument. d :
Mr. ‘Barmard’s god “Pan’’ recently took
