Naturally, both the students and teachers are experi- encing some inconvenience at the present, owing to the newly-remodeled building not yet being finished, hut work there is being pushed as fast as possible and it will not be long now until the Academy will be better housed and better equipped for the work than ever before. ——Dr. John Sebring and dentist Kil- patriok are going to do some hunting this fall and they evidently intend to go about it in the right way. They have just pur- chased from Frank Martini, of Berwick, a well-trained English setter dog for which they paid sixty dollarsand express charges. Of course we wish Messrs. Sebring and Kilpatrick all kinds of smocess in their nimrodio feats daring the coming season and we have no doubt that the game they may secure will bave an unusually fine flavor and relish. DROPPED DEAD IN THE STREET.—Ed- ward B. Kittell, who will be well remem- bered by many of the WATCHMAN readers from having been book-keeper for the Col- :| ling’. when: they operated the Bellefonte’ furnace, dropped dead in the street in Pittsburg Monday afternoon. Death was evidently due to a sudden attack of heart trouble. Mr. Kittell was bookkeeper for T. A. Shoemaker who has in charge the construc- tion of a bridge for the Wheeling division of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad com- pany at Glenwood. On Saturday he went to Confluence to spend Sunday with friends. He returned to Pittsburg at 1 o’clock Monday afternoon, and, tired after the journey, it is supposed he lighted a cigar and started to walk a short distance before boarding a Second avenue car for Glenwood. When he reached a point on Second avenue he staggered and fell to the sidewalk. When he was picked up a few minutes later, he was dead. The body was removed to the morgue where it was identified by John A. Schwab, father of Charles M. Schwab. Tuesday,the remains were taken to Ebensburg for interment. E. B. Kittell was a son of the late Wm. and Mar garet Kittell, of Ebensburg. His father was a leading member of the Cam- bria county bai. Mr. Kittell was born in Ebensburg Nov. 20th, 1852, and early in life became assistant cashier of Lloyd & Co’s bank, at Ebensburg. Later he be- came cashier of E. Roberts & Son’s bank and heid the position until the bank went out of business. For about 20 years he had been a bookkeeper for Collins Bros. well known railroad contractors, of Belle- fonte. In 1895, when that firm was reor- ganized under the name of Clement & Co., Mr. Kistell became the new firm’s chief bookkeeper. Last spring the firm of Clem- ent & Co. was divided and Thomas A. Shoemaker, one of its heaviest stockhold- ers, went into business for himself and Mr Kittell held she position as his bookkeeper. Two weeks ago Mr. Shoemaker moved his operat ions from Indiana to Pittsburg, be- cause of his contract and Mr. Kittel] went with him. Deceased is survived by three brothers, Rev. William Kittell, chanceller of the Pittsburg diocese of the Roman Catholic church ; Rev. Ferdinand Kittell, rector of St. Michael’s Catholic church, Loretto ; M. D. Kittell, an attorney at Ebensburg, and one sister, Sister Mary Bernadine, with the mother house of the Sisters of Mercy, Pittsburg, The funeral was held yesterday morning at Ebensburg. ll l li BECK.—Mirs. Emeline, wife of Isaiah Beck, of Centre Line, died at the home of her danghter; Mrs. Walter Stine, in Pitts. burg, on Sunday, of typhoid fever after an illness of about three weeks. Early in August Mrs. Beck went to Pittsburg to nurse her daughter who was suffering with typhoid’ fever. The daughter recovered, but about the time she became convales- cent both her mother and her husband were stricken down. Mr. Stine had a slight at- tack and is recovering, but Mrs. Beck, ow- ing to her age, and exhansted condition from the long siege of nursing her dangh- ter, could not withstand the ravages of the disease and died on Sunday morning. The deceased, whose maiden name was Musser, was born at Gateshurg in 1842. She was married to Isaiah Beck, of Centre Line, and lived ever since on the old Beck homestead farm in the western end of Half Moon township. Mrs. Beck was a life-long member of the Lutheran church, a consoi- entious christian woman of charming dis- position and one who will be sadly missed, not only by her family, but by a host of friends. She is survived by her husband ‘and six children, Harry E., of Swissvale; Irene S., wife of Rev. W. C. Dunlap, of Montoursville; John C., of Osceola; Eva A., wife of Walter Stine, of Pittsburg; Mahlon B., of Osceola, and*Clyde O., at home. One daughter, Ella, died about nine years ago. The funeral was held Tuesday atternoon at 2 o’clock, the services being in the Cen- tre Line Lutheran church. Rev. Atlar, the pastor, preached an affecting sermon. In- terment was made in the cemetery adjoin- ing the church. HARVEY SHOPE'S DEATH. — Harvey Shope, a son of Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Shope, of Cato, died of blood poisoning in Fort Leavenworth, Kan., where he was station- ed a soldier in the regular army. Young Shope came to Bellefonte early in the sum- mer and purchased the restaurant of Charles Hazel, on Bishop street. While here he enlisted in company B and went with the soldiers to the National guard en- campment at Gettysburg in the latter pars of July. Early in August fire partially destroyed Shope’s restaurant on Bishop street and he concluded to quit the busi- ness. He went to Lock Haven, where he enlisted us a soldier in the regular army and was sent to Columbus, Ohio. While there he was vaccinated on the arm. In a few days his arm became very sore, swell- ing to twice its normal size. Shope was sent to F't. Leavenworth and by the time he reached there blood poisoning set in and he was put in the hospital at once, bus all the surgeons could do availed nothing and the young man died Tuesday of last week. The remains were brought east by his fath- er, arriving home on Monday. The funer- al was held Tuesday morning and ' was largely attended, a squad of seven mem- bers of company ‘B, under command of Sergt. W. H. Brown, attending. Beside his father and mother deceased is survived by three sisters and two brothers. SMITH.—Joseph S. Smith, one of the old-time and well-known residents of Snow Shoe, died at his home in that place Wed- nesday morning at 6:30 o'clock of paralysis, he having been stricken only the day pre- vious. Mr. Smith was born at Howard, but when yet a young man went to Snow Shoe, where he lived all his life, following the trade of shoemaker. He was elected and served as justice of the peace a number of years. He was also a veteran of the Civil war, having served in company F, 200dth regimens, P. V. I. Deceased is survived by his wife, one son, Charles, and the following daughters : Mrs. Martin Reese, Mrs. Harry Fravel, of Snow Shoe, and Lydia, of Duncannon. He also leaves one brother, Alfred Smith, of Miles- burg. The funeral will take place this morning at 8:30 o’clock, Rev. H. J. Schu- chart will officiate and interment will be made at Roland. : ll i I ——DRobert Lee, the 4-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Walizer, of Renovo, but who formerly lived in Mackeyville, was so bad- ly burned last Thursday that he died the same day. The boy had been out on the dump, back of the car shops where he was playing alongside a fire. The wind sud- denly shifted, sending the flames against the lad’s clothing, which were ignited. The boy started to tun home and was mes by Frank Lundfelt and Norah Johnson, who tore the clothing from his body, bus too late to save him from a fatal burn- ing. i 3.) ENTWISTLE.—Abrabam Entwistle died at bis home at Cuba Mines, near Philips- burg, Sunday evening, of dropsy, aged 67 years. Deceased was born in Acrington, England, coming to this country when quite a young man and going to Philips- burg, in which section be lived ever since. He is survived by his wife, two sons and one daughter. The funeral took place on Wednesday afternoon at 2 o'clock, inter- ment being made in the Philipsburg ceme- tery. food oad MussER.—Wellington ~~ Musser, . who made his home with his brother, Wallace Musser, at the Branch, died Sunday night of September 18th, of heart trouble and dropsy, after a six month’s illness. De- ceased was a cabinet maker hy trade and was 55 years of age. The funeral occurred the following Wednesday, interment being made in the Boalshurg cemetery. Il II Il ——Isaac Shafer, an ex-county commis- sioner of Clinton county, died at his home in Lock Haven Wednesday morning at the advanced age of 82 years. Mr. Shafer was born near Bellefonte, but lived most of his life in Clinton connty. ~——Mr. Archer Bows. member of, the firm of Rogers, Brown & Co., and chairman of the board of directors of the Nittany Iron company, died very suddenly Friday afternoon of last week at his home in New York. Sse AA) remains ——The Centre county farmer’s insti tutes will be held at Hublersburg January 30th and 31st, and at Philipsburg February 1st and 20d. Sl a Aas ——The will of the late Senator Patton, of Carwensville, has been recorded at Cleai- field and leaves the settlement of his estate, which is conservatively stated to exceed a million, to three executors : Mrs. Patto, the widow; H. J. Patton, ason, and W. H. Sanford. cashier of the First National bank, Patton, Pa. Some liberal gifts were ar- ranged by Senator Patton personally, in- stead of being incorporated in the will, be- cause, as he stated at the time they were provided for, the will would be published and be did not care to make public master of his personal gifts. a - ——The Lady Managers of the hospital are going to ask that each church in the town set apart one Sunday in the year as a time to receive a special offering for the hospital. It is desired that one Sunday in October be universally settled on, but it may be that other collections are arranged for each Sunday in this month in which oase it is left to the discretion of the pastor and trustees of the church to settle the day most convenient. It would be a nice thing if this collection were taken up, not only _| in Bellefonte, bus in all the churches in the county and what better missionary work could-be done. HD ES han. an ——Under the head of new advertise-| ments in this issue will be found one of Mrs. E. Edwards, of 1606 Green St., Phila- delphia. Mrs. Edwards was fofmerly Miss Edith McCabe, of this place, aud is now conducting a boarding house in the city. Knowing her personally and knowing of its desirability from those who have been guests in her house, the WATCHMAN has no hesitancy in recommending it as an especially desirable place, especially for ladies, to stop while in the city shopping or for more prolonged visits. The house is centrally located, the prices are moderate and toe boarding all that could be desired. — em ——The town clock in the court house tower is now being overhauled for the first time since it was installed in 1858. Jew- eler Frank P. Blair is doing the work and this in itself is sufficient guarantee thas the clock will be put in first-class shape when the job is completed. The machinery of the clock was found in an extremely dirty condition and the main winding wheel had $wo spokes broken out. Mr. Blair says it will take some time to do the job thorough- ly, as some of the wooden supports have become so rotten they will have to be re- placed with new ones. In the meantime he will make the clock strike the correct railroad time at the hours of 9 and 12 each day until fally repaired. Next Week, the Fair. Gradually the people of Centre county are beginning to realize thas the County Fair is an_ institution ‘worthy their atten- tion and interest. It has been an hercu- lean task to reawaken the enthusiasm that made the old fairs in this place the famous events they were back in the seventies and early eighties, bus it is being done, never- theless. The generosity of the manage- ment in providing liberal purses for rac- ing, cash preminms for exhibits and ex- pensive amusements for the entertainment of the spectators, in face of the fact that the fair bas been an unprofitable venture from the very etar, is carrying conviction to everyone that it is nota gigantic money making scheme, but a great, public spirit- ed enterprise from which the public really gets the greatest return. Each year the character and number of the exhibits bas grown nntil it may be ex- pected to find a show of wonderful interest when the gates are thrown open next Tues- day. The Fair is truly an useful institu- tion; for it not only provides a clean and delightful means of amusement for several days each fall, but gives the farmer, the artisan, the housewife, in fact everybody an opportunity of comparing the works of others with their own accomplishments. Many people found the fair last year a positive help, in more ways than one. Some of them got valnable hints in needle work, baking, making preserves and jellies ; others were able to sell articles that they could find no previous marke for and in instances we have in mind ex- hibitors not only received these benefits, but were awarded premiums enough to compensate them handsomely for their trouble. In view of all these facts there should be a general unity of endeavor in all parts of the county to make the fair a great, useful and permanent enterprise. It can be done with the co-operation of everyone. It must be understood, also, that the managers in- tend to put every cent they receive from admissions right back into the enterprise to make it even greater next year. Sure- ly such laudable purpose should be met with a liberal patronage on the part of the public. THE BIG DAYS. While the Fair will really be open Tues- day, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday the first day will be devoted largely to placing the exhibits and classifying them. Exhibi- tors should be on the grounds Monday, if pos sible, or as early Tuesday as convenient. All of their arsicles will be properly cared for and amply protected from eitber vand- alism or exposure to unfavorable weather conditions. On Wednesday the racing will begin. The 2:17 and 2:25 classes will start. The big free shows, including all the acts from **Chicot,”” the monkey that loops the loop, down to the performing sheep and dogs, will open and there will he a generous round of amusement features. The other races and events will occur on Thursday and Friday. Each day, something differ- ent and all big days. THE NEW EATING HOUSK. The new eating house will be opened under a competent caterer and meals will be served at reasonable prices to those who donot care to carry lunches with them. For the sake of a good, old fashioned Fair, however, we would suggest particularly to our farmer readers that they go in their carriages and wagons. Then they will nos be dependent upon trains and can take all of the family. The management has assur- ed us that there will be sufficient room for the safe hitching of thousands of vehicles. . THE POULTRY SHOW. Contracts have already been signed for the exhibit of the fancy. poultry from two of the largest farms in New York State. These will not be in competition with Cen- tre county exhibits, but will prove a feature sufficiently attractive to keep the new poultry building crowded all the time. FAKIRS AND GAMBLING DEVICES. These pernicious elements so inimical to the pleasure of many will be conspicuous by their absence at the great Fair. The management is determined to make the Fair attractive, both mentally and morally, and to that end it will exert every effort to keep all gambling devices and fakirs L off the grounds. SPECIAL RATES AND TRAINS. * Special excursion rates over all railroads. Special trains over the Lewisburg & Ty- rone railroad from Bellefonte to Coburn leaving Bellefonte at 7:00 o'ciock p. m., Thu y and Friday, Oct. 6th and 7th. The Bellefonte Central will also run a re- turn train to State College each day after the races. ASSAULTED BY A PRISONER.—Charles J. Taylor, son of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Taylor, of this place, and who is superintendent of plumbing at the Huntingdon Reformatory, was brutally assaulted by a prisoner Tues- day morning and now lies at his home in Huntingdon in a serious condition. Mr. Taylor was superintending the laying of pipe in afield on the Reformatory grounds. While instructing a prisoner by she name of John Timmering, an inmate from Erie, and while in the act of leaning over the trench, the prisoner drew a billy and struck Tay- lor four times over the head. While knocked down Taylor did not lose con- sciousness and as Timmering started to run away Taylor drew his revolver and fired, shooting his assailant through the thigh, disabling him aud rendering his capture easy. A telephone message to his father yesterday stated thas Charles had three bad cuts on the head but his condition was not as serious as at first supposed. News Purely Personal. Harry E, Fenlon attended the funeral of Ed- ward Kittell in Ebensburg yesterday morning. —Miss Ida Fauble went to Harrisburg, Monday afternoon, where she was maid of honor at a wedding, Wednesday evening. —Misses Kate Shugert and Ann McCoy depart- edlfor BrynjjMawr yesterday afternoon to cou- tinue their studies tnere for another year. —Dr. Andrews, of Philipsburg, passed through town on Wednesday night on his way to Blooms- burg, making the trip in his automobile. —Mrs. J. Kyle MacFarlane departed on Tues- day taking her son Brown back to resume his studies at the institution he has been attending at Polk, Pa. —The Misses Snook bade farewell to their Bellefonte home yesterday morning and left for Philadelphia, where they will continue their business as wcmen’s tailors at 3331 Walaut street. —Geo. M. Rhule, the Philipsburg contractor and promoter, #as in town on business yesterday. He reports that the coal trade is very dull over the mountain and the trolley road about the only thing that is making money. —Mr. and Mrs. R. D. Foreman, of Centre Hall, were in town on Tuesday on their way to visit the St. Louis exposition. After a week’s sight-seeing at the great show they will journey on to Kansas for a visit with friends in that State. —Arthur C. Thomas, of Benore, was in town yesterday driving a fine gray horse in a nobby open wagon. Arthur says things are lively again since the Scotia mines have reopened and {o get awayjfrom the fuss he has bought a place over at Paradise that he will move to shortly. —Among the Centre countians who have made their homes elsewhere the old home paper is one of their dearest visitors. It is probably for that reason that Mrs. Catharine Whiteleather, who will be remembered by many friends in the vicinity of Jacksonville, is so regular in her renewal of subscription to the Warcaman, which has visited her new home in Lock Haven regu- larly since she moved to that city. —Rev. Morris Swartz, of Patton, is here to help set on fire the Epworth League convention now in session at Pleasant Gap. He and Rev. Ellis Bell will make closing addresses this evening and there is little doubt that the Pleasant Gap congregation would be glad to have their church literally, instead of figuratively, fired by Mr. Swartz if he caused to rise out of the ashes as fine a new church as he did at Shippensburg, —Mrs. L. A. Sunday, of Pennsylvania Furnace, was one of the delegafes in Bellefonte this week attending the convention of the Woman’s Home Missionary society, of the Huntingdon Presby- tery, and while in town paid her respects to this office. Mrs, Sunday is all alone now in her Fer- guson township home, her two Youngest sons, Orrie E. and William E. being away at Selins- grove, students in the Susquehanna University, studying for the ministry. —After a two months visit at homes, Mrs. Thomas King Morris and Thomas King, second, will go to Tyrone today, where they will oceupy the A. G. Morris house for the winter. Mr. A. G. Morris now owns a place in Columbia, South Carolina, and his family will hereafter make it their winter home. It is to be hoped the balm of southern sunshine will not entirely alienate their affections as a community can not well afford to totally lose a family so long prominent and identified with as many interests as has been Mr, A. G. Morrises, —Mrs. Will Larimer returned from Scottdale, Monday, where she had been attending the sixty- sixth annual conference of the United }Brethren church. That this conference, while most en- joyable, and successful was not free from the quibbles characteristic of other conferences may be judged from the closing remarks of Bishop T. 8. Mills. “It would require a minister not of earthly clay to fill the requirements of some con- gregations and to fill the requirements of some ministers it would require congregations which could not be found without going to heavenly realms to secure the members.” —Rev, William Houck spent a few hours Sat- urday afternoon calling upon friends here. He was en route to State College, where he preached in the Auditorium in the morning and in the Methodist church in the evening. Perhaps the presence, in our country just now of the noted author of, “The Simple Life” suggests it to Mr. Houck, for he thinks greater simplicity in life would bring happiness not now experienced, and that we are all wearying and worrying ourselves to death or nervous prostration to get something for ourselves or ‘others. If we could rid our- selves of all the luxuries that conventions make necessary, do away with the mad struggle to possess them and return to the simple lives of our forefathers, we would find time to be happy and enjoy life and its years would be added to instead of shortened as now-a-days. —If one can’t be the sun, next best thing is to be the moon and shine by reflected light. If Harry Keller shows unusual biillianey in cam- paign pyrotechnics this fall, we will know it was what he absorbed while across the sound from . Oyster Bay this summer. We didn’t know he needed to have his convictions warmed up but what else could mean this month's stay on the sunny south shore of Long Island. Was Teddy's own north shore too chilly ? A man who will take his family away over there simply to gaze across to the Promised Land, deserves more than field duty, ke ought to be Colonel or Judge. * * Mrs. Harry Keller and her three boys, Henry Roovevelt, Daniel Roosevelt and Ellis Roosevelt, have returned home from a month's stay at Westhampton Beach, Long Island. —Mrs. Mary Nolan, of Chicago, is a guest of Miss Shortlidge, on Linn street. This is the first visit Mrs. Nolan has made to Bellefonte since she - went to Chieago nine years ago and as she had lived in Philadelphia and Atlantic City several years previous to that, she has been away long enough to find many changes in us, but probably they will not be as rapid ones as she is accustom. ed to in Chicago, One satisfaction in being slow is that we are not headed in the direction of in- sanity as are Chicagoans, for recent authorities say that one in every 150 persons in Chicago is insane and that insanity has increased more rap- idly there in the last ten years than any other place in’ the world. Instead of coming in an automobile Mrs. Nolan ran away from one, for her visit at this time may be traced to self-protec- tion, as her son-in-law, Mr. Johnston, is just learning to drive his and his family have conse- quently taken to the woods. —We have long known that the Warcuman was a panacea for many of the troubles, weaknesses and turmoils of life, but had no thought that its nfluence and teachings went as far as it seems they do. Our old friend and former fellow town" man, Mr. Harvey Wetzel, who for the past three years has been forging to the front asa coal ba ron of West Virginia, writes us under date of the 22nd, of how it cured him of reading poetry, and how greatly it relieves one of home-sickness by taking the place of a “letter from home.” Really we thank Mr. Wetzel for his kindly com- munication, but can’t exactly make up our mind whether he is poking fun at the Warcuman’s poetry, or whether he thinks it a good thing that he was cured of reading it while a youngster. He says: “The weekly visit of the Warcumax is like a letter from home. I often think how, when I was a youngster, just learning to read, I used to read all of the poetry in the Warcamax and then I wonder if that had anything to do with my not caring anything for poetry now. Politics is pretty quiet about here, but we ‘‘Democrais’ think we are going to carry the State this fall.’ —Mrs. Wilbur F. Reeder is visiting Mrs, Rogers, at Wyncote, Pennsylvania. * —Cap’t. C. F. Fryberger, of Philipsburg, was a business visitor in town on Wednesday. i —Mr. and Mrs. John Porter Lyon and Miss Shaffner spent Sunday with Mr. and Mrs, Isasc Mitchell. —Miss Caroline Orvis was a Bellefonte guest at the Hudson-Harvey wedding in Lock Haven on Tuesday. - en —Gradually our summer guests are leaving us. Yesterday the Canfield family returned home to Jenkintown. ? —Cap’t. A. C. Mingle spent Tuesday looking up some of his old boyhood haunts in and around Aaronsburg. —Lawrence Beatty, a son of Harry Beatty, of Panxsutawney, spent a half-day in Rellefonte last week while on his way to Lancaster where he is a Soph at Franklin and Marshall college. —Mr. John H. Meyer went to Williamsport Wednesday evening where he was initiated ipto the mysteries of the order of the Mystic Shrine. Mr. Geo. T. Bush went along down to see that Mr. Meyer rode the goat properly. —John Munson returned this week to Yale where he is a Sophomore in Mechanical Engineer ing. Itis well that we have at least one repre- sentative there, for a town without a Yale man could scarcely lay claim to distinction in college honors and fortunate indeed is he who can elect his college life at Yule. —In the early summer Mr. and Mrs, Samuel Sheffer, of Curtin street, started West to visit relatives and friends in Denver, Salt Lake City and St. Louis. Aftera most delightful trip Mr. Sheffer returned home on Monday but Mrs. Sheffer has not yet been quite sated with sight- seeing. i —Miss Nan Snyder, of Jersey Shore, is visiting Miss Louise Calloway: Miss Snyder graduated two years ago from the nurse training school of the Episcopal hospital, Philadelphia, and has since been located in New York city. If all nurses were as charming as she, the doctors would certainly be rich as we would all court ill- ness, —William Frank, the prominent Rush town- ship Democrat, was in town for a few days dur- the fore part of the week talking over the po- litical situation with chairman Taylor, Mr. Frank was an aspirant for the nomination for Commissioner two years ago and came very close to winning out in his canvass, . —Mr. and Mrs. W. I. Fleming returned Tues- day evening from their six week’s trip to the Pacific coast, where the former went asa dele- gate to the national encampment of the Knights Templar. Mr. Fleming said they had a nice trip, that this was a big and grand country but with all that he had not seen any place that he would prefer to live in more than just here in Belle- fonte. —Mr. William Speer had such a good time that trip over the mountains when he lost his way that he thought he would try over again the experiment, but the probabilities are that he did not get lost this time as he did when he and Francis went unchaperoned, for Mrs. Speer and Mrs. Peters were with him this trip. They started Tuesday morning to visit Mrs. Harris Mann in Lewistown and returned last evening. —Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Shoemaker in com- pany with Mr. Shoemaker’s aunt, who has been Visiting here, left Tuesday morning, for a visit in Baltimore and Philadelphia. A few minutes after the train had gone news of Edward Kittells death was telephoned them and their pleasure trip was consequently changed into one to Ebensburg to attend the funeral of Mr. Kittell, who, at the time of his death, was Mr. Shoemaker’s head book-keeper. —Mrs. Harriet Thomas Kurtz went away on Tuesday morning. She will spend the winter in Philadelphia and New York, visiting in the former place with her cousin, Mrs. Campbell, of Wyncote, whose husband is general solictor of the Reading R. R., and in New York will spend her time with her aunt, Mrs. M. Louise Thomas, of Sorosis club fame. It is more than twelve years since Mrs. Kurtz came among us and from the first identified herself most earnestly with many of the charities and reform movements of the town, giving more than her share of time and money to the Children’s Aid, which, now that she is gone, is to become defunct. Very quietly and unostentatiously did kindness and hospitality emanate from the Kurtz home for both Mr. and Mrs. Kurtz were loath to have their good deeds known. Although Mrs. Kurtz is only a Bellefonter by adoption, since Mr. Kurtz spent all his life working for the best interests of our town, it is to be hoped that she will con- sider this home.
