ensey with a force of workmen have been

afternoon everybody had a very pleasant
time. The Logan boys cleared about
seventy-five dollars.
——The Curtin’s Works base ball team

quence of which the Curtin boys left the

fonte Castle, K. G. E., for she recovery of

on Beech Creek last spring, was awarded to
Alexander Lucas, of Hayes Ran.
——MTr. and Mrs. R. S. Brounse have re-
oeived a letter from their sono, Richard,
who is away on a cruise on the Saratoga
school ship. ‘‘Dick’’ writes an interesting
letter and is evidently enjoying his trip.
They have passed Gibraltar and were at
Naples this week.
——O. P. Morton Smith, mail clerk in
the Bellefonte postoffice, while at his work
on Tuesday, became quite ill and before he
could ke removed to his home on east
Bishop street had several fainting spells,
At this time, however, he has recovered
and is at his work as usual.
——G@G. Frank Sausserman, one of Belle-
fonte’s fashionable tonsorial artists, has de-
termined to branch out in his business.
On Monday he opened up a barber shop in
Snow Shoe, in aroom opposite the Moun-
tain house, and in the future will run that,
as well as his shop here.
—— Insurance agent, Grant Hoover,
was one of the posse down Bald Eagle

suffering all. kinds of agony for several
weeks past with an infeoted finger, is begin-

rest cf his life—so he thinks.
—— Watch your money. On Monday a
stranger entered the store of Charles
Zeigler, at Munson, and asked to havea

Bellefonte may have a new indestry in the
near future. A number of gentlemen of
means in one of the eastern cities had an
expert here a few days ago looking up the
advantages of the town and for a good site
for a rather extensive manufactory. The
gentleman told the writer that he was ex-
oceedingly well pleased with this place and
that his- report would be most favorable.
Just as soon as negotiations have developed
to a state of certainty the WATCHMAN will
tell you of it.
——Very successful “Rally Day” ‘serv-
ices were held at the United Evangelical
church on Sunday. Bishop Dubbs, of
Harrisburg, preached two strong and elo-
quent sermone, morning and evening, while
at the platform meeting in the afternoon
Col. J. L. Spangler made an earnest and
appealing address. About $300 in cash
was raised while the subscriptions pledged
brought the total amount up to $1250.
This leaves but $400 of indebtedness against
the church, and tbe pastor, Rev. W. B.
Cox, confidentially hopes to clear this up
before the year is out.
THE Bic BusINEss MEeN’s PICNIC.
—Every arrangement is now almost com-

between the Milton and Sunbury teams.
On the Sunbury team are five of the best
players of the ’04 State College team, while
for that day the Milton team will be
strengthened with the famous Brandywine
battery, and likely Sharpe. This game, in
itself, should draw a big crowd. Then
there will be trap shooting by some of the
best teams in Central Pennsylvania ; races
and a vaudeville entertainment afternoon
and evening, that will alone be worth go-
ing many miles to see. All business places
in the two counsiesshould, and likely will,
be closed. Everybody is going to the big
picnic and you want to go, too. II you
don’t you’il miss one of the bess days of
your life. If it should rain Thursday the
pionioc will be held on Friday.

ROBBERY AT MUNsON.—Early on San.
day morning thieves entered the. residence
of W. E. Peterson, postmaster at Munson,
and confiscated a tin box containing ‘$217.
Of this amount $180.25 was money order
and postal funds, $24.00 money belonging
to the store and $12.75 individnal funds.
One registered letter was also taken. Two
gold watches, one belonging to Mrs. Peter-
son and another to a little girl, as well as
several other articles of jewelry, were not
taken, which leads many to think the
robbers were persons not so far away from
Munson.
An entrance was effected to the honse
through a cellar window. The work was
done so quietly that no one knew of the
robbery until the family arose at their:
usual time of getting up. There is as yet

and you all know these are busy days for the
farmers, so the able young Legislator has been
doing his work on the farm before starting in to
