=~While driving a load of pipe from
Allison’s plumbing establishment to the
Nittany furnace, Wednesday morning,
Tom Caldwell, one of Allison's men, was
seized with a fainting spell and fell from
the high wagon seat. Fortunately Edward
Fleming, who was with him, noticed him
falling and caught him before he fell far
enough to injure himself. It has since

readers and other wall established text
books for school use. Mr. Pletcher’s long
experience in the school room admirably
equips him for the undertaking and forti-

ing heavy inroads upon the trade of the

SEVEN ARRESTED FOR ILLEGAL FIsH-
ING.—Detective Joe Rightnour made quite
a haul of illegal fishermen last week and
now seven men have a more comprehensive
understanding of the law that protects our
streams from the ravages of the net fishers.
Nathan Dale, John Strunk,Oliver Strunk,
S. 8. Strunk and Wilford Ebert, all of
Pleasant Gap, were arrested on Friday, for
scooping in the Bald Eagle. They were
taken before Justice Keichline, bus settled
the case with the detective without having
a hearing. The men claimed that they had
been informed by legal authority that they
could lawfully use nets in the Bald Eagle
and leniency in their case would have been
all right, hut where the county detective
gets his authority for settling cases himself
is not made public.
Joseph Thal and William Kline were al-
so arrested for using a throw net in Spring
creek, and they state that they were fined
$15.00 each.
Upon inquiring at the office of Justice
Keichline it was learned that hearings had
not been held in either case and that hoth
had been settled by the detective himself.
According to the latter's statement the
Pleasant Gap parties paid $8 each and Thal
and Kline $15 each.
The case of Mr. Dale, the Strunks and
Eberts hinges on a case that was bronght
the week before by John Strunk against
Reuben Houser. The former had Houser
arrested for threats and uttering oaths and
he was bound over for court. Then to get
even, when Houser discovered that his
prosecutor was going fishing, he followed
him up and informed the detective with
the result that the whole party was scoop-
ed in. Detective Rightnour offered to with-
draw the suit against the illegal fishermen
if they would pay the costs in the Houser-
Strunk case and withdraw the suit against
Houser. After talking it over they figured
that it would be cheaper for them to do
that than to be fined the $50 penalty for
illegal fishing and prevailed upon Strunk
to go before the justice and withdraw his
suit, which he did.

MANY STORES WILL CLOSE EARLY.—
Beginning Tuesday, July 1st, thirty-four
of the stores and other business places of

main open during their usual hours.
The early closing rule is not new in
Bellefonte. It has heen observed with
marked satisfaction to all concerned for
several years, consequently this announc-
ment will not be a surprise to anyone and
is merely published for the couvenience of
those who might unwittingly make a trip
to a store after six p. m. and be disappoint-
ed to find it closed. The merchants who
have joined in this movement are to be
commended for their effort to give their cler-
ical force as much relief as possible during
the heated period of summer and we feel as-
sured that they will be more than repaid
in the diligent, re-invigorated service ren-
dered them by their employees.
The pay days referred to above ate on the
3rd, 10th, 12th, 18th, and 25th and last
days of the month. Remember that on

A GREAT GAME OF BALL AT HOWARD.

entire satisfaction as umpire, even under
the strain of such a close game.
For seven innings hoth sides drew blanks,
but in the eighth Howard got Ralph Hall

‘——Farl Landis met with quite a severe
accident Monday evening, the result of
which is a badly shattered right hand. The
boy is a son of Ai Landis, of Penn streets,
and is only 8 years ‘old. He picked up a
torpedo or some kind of a cartridge in front
of Irvin’s stationery store and, child-like,
went to pounding it with a stone. There:
was an explosion that shattered his hand
so hadly that Dr. Seibert was compelled to
put fourteen stitches in it in order to hind
the fragments together again. The physi-
cian states, iowever,if no unforseen troubles
arise the child will not lose the free use of
his fingers.
~——Dr. John Harter, of Millheim, was
in town Friday evening on his way home
from Renovo, to which place he had been
for several days on business as deputy
revenue collector for this district. Very
few of his many acquaintances here recog-
nized him, for the serious illness he had
undergone for the past three months cut
his weight down from 200 to 125 Ibs. and
he was only a shadow of his former robust
self. ‘He is on the mend now, however,
and it is to be hoped that the improvement
will be both rapid and permanent. As an
evidence of the doctor’s wonderful nerve
and his desire to take proper care of hig
government engagements an incident tha
occurred last week is illustrative. He had
made an appointment to sell stamps at
Renovo on Thursday. The day “previous
he was in bed and in addition to his ill |
ness a large abscess on his hip was giving
him no end of pain. That afternoon it
‘was operated upon and fully a quart of pus
taken from it. The relief was so great that
the patient got up almost immediately
afterward and began to prepare for the
trip, which be made and is none the worse
for is. Lond ad Hes Hur
ON 10 ERIE.—About the most enthusi-
astic junket that has ever been taken hy
Centre county Democrats was the trip to
Erie made this week by forty-five of the
unterrified who journeyed to the Lake city
as boomers for Col. Jno. A. Woodward’s
candidacy for Governor. Though they
failed to land Centre’s “favorite son” all
had a good time and returned yesterday
morning so fall of enthusiasm that it would
be folly to think that it will not hold out
until the ides of November.
The Pullman coach ‘Clifton Forge,”
bearing great streamers on which were
printed *‘For Governor Col. John A. Wood-
ward’ of Centre,” carried the delegation
to and from Erie and farnished comforta-
ble lodging for them while in that city.
They were royally entertained, got in for
their share of all the fun and now feel
thoroughly grateful to ‘‘Capt.’’ Frank P.
Blair who planned and carried out the trip
80 successfully for them.
While few in number the Woodward
boomers made themselves felt on all sides
and there never was a minute that the Cen-
tre county aspirant didn’t receive the same
courteous and considerate attention as any
of the others. He had fewer workers, but
they were better and so persistent that the
Woodward boom was of a highly respectable
character. As an illustration of how every
thing was turned to the glory of the Cen-
tre countian an explanation of the telegraph-
ic reports that a Woodward club of 400
strong bad arrived in Erie Tuesday morn-
ing will serve:
At Lock Haven the car carrying the
Centre county delegation was attached to a
special train of nine Pullmans having
aboard the large Philadelphia contingent.
When the train arrived at Erie the Centre
‘county car was the only one bearing ban-
ners and the Woodward badges the only
ones in evidence, consequently the impres-
sion got abroad that it was a Woodward
train. Our boomers were not slow to take
advantage of the situation and promptly
fell in behind the band that had been call-
ed to escort the Philadel phians to their
headquarters. The band started off at
once and there was nothing left for the
Ryan and Donnelly crowd to do but fall
in behind the Woodward badges so
that the Erie people were naturally im-
pressed with the size of the movement for
the Howard statesman and the Philadel-
phians were paraded all over the town as a
tail to the Wood ward kite.
Among the contingent were Wm. F.
Smith and Pierce Musser, Millheim; John
and Wm. Smith, Spring Mills; Ellis Shaffer,
Madisonburg; D. J. Meyer, S. W. Smith,
John Dauberman, and Leonard Rhone,
|| Centre Hall; Hon. R. M. Foster, M. S. Me-
Dowell, Dr. J. E. Robison, Prof. L. E.
Reber, State College; W. H. Noll, and Jas.
Corl, Pleasant Gap; Senator W. C. Heinle,
Hon. James Schofield. W. Miles Walker,
M. I. Gardner, John Noll, Jerry Donovan,
Capt. Hugh 8. Taylor, C. Y. Wagner, J.
Kennedy Johnson, P. Gray Meek, Col. J.
L. Spangler, Ellis L. Orvis, Hammond
Sechler, F. E. Naginey, John J. Bower,
Jos. Rightnour, F. P. Blair, D.F. Fort-
vey, and L. A. Schaeffer, all from Belle-
fonte. At Howard they took on board the
following : Col. John A. Woodward, How-
ard Moore, Abe Weber, Roth Gardner, and
C. M. Mufily.
THE CLOSING OF THE PAROCHIAL
ScHooLs.—The closing exercises of the
schools under the sapervision of St. John’s
Catholic church in this place were held on
Tuesday and a large audience gathered to
witness the various interesting exercises.
The schools do an exceptional work, as was
evidenced by the careful manner in which
the hundred or more scholars carried ont
the program.
There were motion songs, recitations,
dialogues, instrumental and vocal select-
ions. all so well rendered as to reflect great
credit both upon the little performers and
the sisters of the Immaculate Heart under
whose loving training they have made such
marked progress.
An interesting feature of the afternoon
was the awarding of the prizes made possi-
ble hy Gen. Hastings’ gift of $50 to the
schools just before his departure for Eu-
rope. They were given as follows, for gen-
eral excellence throughout the year :
First class—Anthony Brown............c.euve...... $10.00

BITTEN BY A COPPERHEAD SNAKE.—
George Musser, who lives in the vicinity of
Yarnell, is suffering from the effects of a
copper-head snake bite. He was loading
wood near his honie a few days ago when
the reptile struck at him, sinking its fangs
deep enough into his finger to poison him
badly. A physician was called as soon as
possible to attend to the wound, which has
been causing him great pain for several
days.
WaAlLTE’S STORE AT LOCK HAVEN BURG-
LARIZED.—The bicycle emporium owned

ne’ghbors out at Snow Shoe, was in town yester-
day looking after a little business, both political
and private.
—Miss Laura Rumbarger and Miss Ella Twit-
mire are home from Philadelphia where they
have been studying voice culture the past year at
the south Broad street Conservatory of music
and were star performers at the concert last night
given for the benefit of Miss McIntire the moy-
ing spirit of the Salvation Army here,
—W. E. Tyson, of Tyrone, spent Sunday with
some old cronies in this place, and, of course,
there was singing. After nineteen years of
service as P. R. R. agent, operator, postmaster,
expressman and mayor of Vail, Will has resigned
and will turn his attention to other business,
Whatever it may be we wish him a world of sue-
cess,
—On Wednesday Joe Ard and his little son
Wilson were down from Pine Grove and the lat-
ter presented the writer with another jar of su-
perb apple-butter that Wilson seems to think is
needful for fishing excursions. That is our point
of difference, however, for it is far too good to
waste in the rough living of fishing camps and
we appreciate it as much as we would the finest
bit of delicatessen from the famous banquet board
about which King Edward and his nobles gather-
ed a few nights ago.

For HORSE BREEDERS. —One of the most
exceptional opportunities that has been of-
fered lovers of fine horses in this section
for many years is to be found in M. B. Gar
man’s decision to put kis newly acquired
trotting stallion ‘Governor Boyd” in the
stud duiing the coming season.
‘Governor Boyd’ was bought at Lexing-
ton, Ky., recently by Mr. Garman and
springs from a family of fast trotters. He
is a handsome bay horse, 15} hands high
and weighs 1050 lbs. As a three year old
he has a mark of 2:29} and was expected to
be among the leaders in much faster time
this season until it was decided to give our
owners here the advantage of such noble
breeding, rather than campaign him.
Those iuterested will find a complete
desecri ption of the horse in the advertising
columns of this issue and it might be add-
ed that the price that has been fixed for
service is exceptionally low for a horse of
this character.

——During a recent visit in Chambers-
burg, Mrs. Ambrose Schmidt, the wife of
the pastor of the Reformed church in this
place, wus prevailed upon to sing in the
Zion Reformed church in that city and this
is what the Public Opinion has to say of her
voice : ‘Mrs. Ambrose Schmidt, of Belle-
fonte, Pa., formerly Miss Ida Stouffer and
a popular vocalist during her residence in
Chambersburg, sang in Zion’s Reformed
churoh on Sunday morning and evening.’
At the morning service her well rounded
contralto voice was heard to excellent ad-
vantage in the duet arrangement of Am-
brose’s, ‘‘One Sweetly Solemn Thought,’
and in the evening she sang the contralto
solo in Cushman’s ‘Protect Us Through
the Coming Night.” ih

CHILDREN’S DAY IN THE PRESBYTE-
RIAN CHURCH.—Children’s day services in
the Bellefonte Presbyterian chureh will be
held on Sunday morning at 10:30. The
program this year promises to be more in-
teresting than any previous one and the
public are cordially invited to attend. As
all the child ceremonials at the Presbyte-
rian church are arranged with such thought-
ful care we feel confident that this one will
be even more pleasing than any of its suc-
cessful predecessors.
