resident of this place, but lately residing
in Philipsburg, was brought to Bellefonte
on Tuesday ; suffering with a serious case
of gangrene in her ankle. She is at the

——There is every indication that the
forth-coming business men’s picnic, on
August 18th, will be the greatest one on
record. Very elaborate preparations are
being made for it and the entertainment
featares will be most notable.
——As the Rev. Dr. H. C. Holloway

ministers of the charch will be present to
assist in conducting them.
——There was a little reunion of the
Cooks, at the home of Mr. Chas. F. Cook,
on vortb Spring street, over Sunday.
Harris was down from Altoona, and Joe,
who has been in Arizona for his health for
geveral months, happened to be home, so
that the entire family was reunited again
for a pleasant time together.
—— Al Beezer, of this place, held tickeé
No. 195 for which he paid only ten cents
aod it drew him the handsome, rococo,
velour plush couch chanced off by the
Milesburg Hose and Ladder Co. at their
annoal jubilee last Saturday night. By
the way the Milesburg boys know how to
do other things than fight fire, for they
cleared $160.00 for their building fund. A
rather snug sum, wasn’t it.
——Mrs. M. I. Gardner gave quite a
charming porch party last Thursday even-
ing at their north Spring street home. It
=ag in honor of Mrs. Edward Holt and her
daughter Stella who were here from North-
umberland visiting her,and there were about
forty guests present. The spacious porches
about the house were beautifully illumined
with electricity and decorated until they
‘gave one the impression of some delightful
fairy scene.
——Proprietor H. S. Ray, of the Brock-
erhoff house, slipped into town Friday
night in a new Oldsmobile that he bad
purchased at Syracuse, N. Y. a few
days before and driven overland to this
place. Of course Mr. Ray is a better
hotel man than he 1s a chaffeur and’ that is
the reason he had a rear end collision with
a lumber wagon near Jersey Shore that
resulted in the loss of the dash board and
lamps from the Olds.
A YouTHFUL CULPRIT.—Thirteen-year-
old Earl Freeman, colored, is in jail charg-
ed with having repeatedly entered and
robbed Montgomery & Co’s. clothing store
in the Exchange.
The youth was arrested by detective
Rightnour, on Tuesday morning, and upon
being taken before justice Keichline ad-
mitted his guilt and told where some of
the stolen property was secluded. It was
found at the home of his parents Wed-
nesday morning and included, among other
things, a $6 catcher’s mit$, hase ball mask,
a cheap mitt, several base balls, base ball
pants and a suit of clothes. He had told
his boy friends that he got the property at
a sale at Foster's store at State College.
The thefts were detected by tracks on
the goods in the basement. The tracks
led to an open cellar window at the rear of
the store. A few days ago the hoy ap-
peared at the store with three premium
cards fully punched showing the purchase
of $45 worth of goods. He wanted a suit
of clothes on them. Knowing that he had
never made purchases to that amount an
investigation was made which resulted in
hisarrest. Monday night deteetive Right-
nour was placed on the case and went on
the watch at 9 o’clock, but the young thief
had been there ahead of him ; having en-
tered shortly after eight and taken the
suit he wanted on the cards. He explain-
ed having possession of the punched cards
by saying that he went to the drawer, where
he secured both cards and punch to work
them to his pleasure.
This is the same boy who broke into
Henry Brown’s repair shop several months
ago and stole several revolvers.
RU
LEFT BELLEFONTE.—One by one more
attractive opportunities in other places
lure our best young men away from Belle-
fonte to make their homes elsewhere. A
notable example of this is seen in the de-
parture of J. Malcolm Laurie last Monday
morning. Upright, reliable, untiring in
his energies he has been regarded as a model
young man ; actively identified with the
business and christian undertakings of this
community. He has resigned the respon-
sible position he held in the Centre coun-
ty Banking Co., and placed the manage-
ment of his steam laundry in the bands of
Frank Woomer in order that he may locate
in Wynburne, Clearfield connty, where he
is to be cashier of the new National bank
that will open in a few days, and secretary
and treasurer of the local lighting and
water company.
Of course he made the change hecause
better opportunities awaited him at Wyn-
burne and we have faith in his ability to
take honorable advantage of them.
ANOTHER GALA DAY FOR You.—The
picnic lover will have another golden op-
portunity next Friday when the Logaus
will hand out amusements au many as
they will be diversified at Hecla park.
Among the many things they promise to
present to the visitor to that popular resor$
on the day they have chosen for their an-
nual picnic are a charming orchestra for
dancing, foot-races, tub races and a human
wheel-barrow race, a miniature Pike, two
base ball games, one between Hecla park
and the Bellefonte athletic club and the
other a chance for themselves to get even
for the defeat the Undines gave them on
July Fourth, both for one admission price.
A good dinner, several bands and li-
cense to have a good, old time concludes
their list of promises that is hung up in
the store windows. Ard youn need have
no fear about the Logans being able to
make good.
Remember, the date is Friday, August
5th, and you are expected.
CHANGES AT THE BUSH HoOUSE.—The
office and lobby of the Bush house are in
about as disrupted condition as it is possi-
ble to imagine that usually well ordered
place; the cause being an effort to relay the
tile floor. Though the place is most un-
inviting just now the results will be so
pleasant when completed as to fuily repay
the proprietor and his guests for the tem-
porary inconvenience.
Other changes are to be a handsome plate
glass front with opalescent transoms and a
re-arrangement of the interior of the office
| that will make the writing room more ex-
olugive and the telephone booths in a
separate apartment.
It is ramored that Mr. Daggett has pur-
chased the old Cruse cigar stand and will
remodel it in a fashion in keeping with the
interior of the new cafe. If this is true
the Bush will have taken another long
stride in advance of inland hotels.

SHAPING UP FOR THE Bi¢ PICNIC.—On
Monday the joint committees for the
‘annual Clinton and Centre conuty business
mens picnic wili meet 1n this place and at
that time the final arrangements will be
made.
While nothing definite is known of the
committee’s action it need not be a surprise
if they decide to make the two great enter-
tainment features of the picnic a minstrel
show on an elaborate scale and a league
‘base ball game between Williamsport and
Altoona.
The minstrel show will be a combination
of the best features of the successful pro-
gram: rendered by the Lock Haven and
Bellefonte amateurs at their most recent
appearance.
DROWNED AT Lock HAVEN—Wahile in
hathing in the river atLock Haven, on

——J. B. Kearns, who lived near Pardee,
along Penns creek, disappeared
mysteriously last Tuesday morning and it
is thought that he bas been drowned. He
is about 71 years old and as a veteran of
the Civil war drew a pension of $20 per
month. Early on the morning of the day
he disappeared he went to the stream to
raise some out-lines and as he did not re-
turn as soon as was expected friends wens
in search of him. At a steep embankment
leading abruptly into a deep hole his fish-
ing tackle and hat were found. On the
muddy shore there were marks that in-
dicated that he had fallen in and, being
unable to crawl up the embankment, gone
to the bottom. The stream below the hole
is so shallow that a man’s body could
scarcely float ous of is. Mr. Kearns was a
native of Millheim, this county.

Emanuel Musser, of State College, was
married, on Wednesday morning, at 11

York.
