Panther hunting club, that organization of
Bellefonte nimrods famous for the
amount of game they do not get, decided
to go out for theirannval camp this year
on Monday, November 21st, to remain
until the close of the season. They bave
not yet just fully decided where they will
go as the committee on location has
knowledge of a number of good places
where game of all kinds is just standing
around waiting to be bagged, but then the
Panther people don’t want togo toa
place where there is any davger of being
run over by the game.
THREE ROBBERIES.—During the past
week robbers have been plying their ne-
farious profession in and around Bellefonte
with exceptional success. On Saturday
night they broke into Wagner’s mill, at
Roopsburg, and forcing a drawer in the
desk secured five dollars in cash. No at-
tempt was made to blow open the safe.
Sunday night some person broke into the
office of Manager A. G. Leas, of the Penn-
sylvania Telephone company, on the sec-
ond floor of the Bush Arcade, pried open
his desk by forcing the lock from its fast-
epings, and got away with about $42 in
cash and $2.50 in stamps. The robber gain-
ed an entrance by prying loose the facing
strip of the door frame when it wasan easy
matter to force the lock of the door. There
was a safe in the room but Manager Leas,
who went away Saturday and did not re-
turn until Monday, had placed the money
in an envelope with a lot of checks and put
it on his desk, which he locked. The
checks were not disturbed. The safe was
pretty well scratched up, izdicating thas
the robber or robbers had evidently tried
to force it open, but either were afraid or
not prepared to blow it open. The door
leading into the booth was open and the
light out, and the box of the pay station
telephone was scarred and scratobed, evi-
dently the result of trying to get it open.
There is no clue to the perpetrator of the
theft and no knowledge as to the time it
was done. The night operator, Miss Mona
Struble, did not hear a sound and the only
thing she remembers of the occurrences of
the night were that at 12 o’clock she went
across the ball to the work room to get a
glass of water and she noticed then that the
light in the booth was burning. When
she opened up the exchange at 6:30 in the
morning the light in the booth was out and
when examined later it was found that the
globe had been unscrewed from the sockes.
About two o'clock in the morning Miss
Struble had a cail and on answering it was
greeted with the question, ‘‘Were you
asleep?’’ On being answered in the affirm-
ative the voice replied, ‘Oh, well ; that’s
all right. Go to sleep again,’’ and the re-
ceiver was hung up.
Another and the biggest robbery of all
took place at Coleville early Tuesday morn-
ing when one man entered the house of Mr.
Geo. Eckley, made his way to the bedroom
where Mr. and Mrs. Eckley were asleep,
took $94 from beneath the pillow of Mrs.
Eckley and, though discovered by the
woman, successfully made his escape. Mr.
Eckley works for the American Limestone
company and had gotten his pay on Satur-
day. He came into town on Monday and
drew some money from the bank as he
wanted to make a payment on his property
on Tuesday and the total sum Mrs. Eckley
bad placed under her pillow on retiring.
The robber gained entrance by pushing
the key from the lock of the front door and
unlocking it with a skeleton key. Mrs.
Eckley got awake at just four o’clock and
went to look what time it was by a small
alarm clock kept on a stand near the bed.
The clock was gone and she got up to look
for it when she discovered a man just steal-
ing from the room. She gave a scream
which aroused her husband bus the man
ran down the stairs and escaped. In the
exc¢itemens that ensued at the time neither
Mr. or Mrs. Eckley noticed the man suffi-
ciently to be able to give even an indistinct
description of him.
It is very evident thas all the above rob-
beries were committed by some person or
persons who are not entire strangers in the
neighborhood and it behooves the authori-
ties as well as everybody else to keep a
sharp lookout for him.

THE BELLEFONTE FURNACE BLOWN
IN.—In only a little over five weeks from
the time the word to go ahead was received
the old lining in the Bellefonte furnace
was torn out, a new one put in and the
farnace fires relighted.
The torch was applied on Tuesday after-
noon at 3:30 by little Margarets Kelly, the
daoghter of furnaceman William Kelley.
The customary demonstration over such
an event was missing because president J.
W. Gephart wasso anxious to get the
furnace going again that he had given
orders to light the fires the instant all was
in readiness. The anxiety was not with-
out warrant, either, for orders have already
been booked for the output for three months
ahead, all of it foundry iron, the highest
grade they make.
Here’s hoping that the present run of
the Bellefonte may be the longest and
moet profitable it has ever made.

SHOT IN CHURCH.—At 3 o’clock last
Sunday afternoon when the scholars were
gathering for Sunday school at the Forge
church Russell Miller, aged 17 years, was
fooling with an old revolver when it was
suddenly discharged, the ball penetrating
the left arm of his consin, Lewis Miller,
alsoaged 17 years, who was one of a group
of boys standing nearby. The accident oc-
curred in the vestibule of the church and
naturally caused considerable excitement.
Young Miller was assisted to his home at
Vernona where a doctor extracted the bul-
let after a painfol and tedious operation.
At this writing young Miller is getting
along all right while his cousin, next Sun-
day, will likely carry his Bible instead of a
revolver to Sunday school.

NATIONAL PROTECTIVE LEGION.—A
local lodge of the National Protective
Legion was instituted at Howard, last
Thursday evening, by district manager
R. H. Merrité. The officers elected were

Michael N. Zeigler; secretary, Sumner J.
Woll; treasurer, I. J. Lucas; chaplain, D.
A. Irwin; Con., Lewis Pletcher; guard,
Christ Wagner; Sent., H. A. Kline; tras-
tees, D. Allison Irwin, Arthor M. Long
‘and Jobn N. Wagner.
——ZEverybody wants to go down to the
fair grounds tomorrow afternoon and see
the football game between the Bellefonte
Academy and the Bellwood Athletic club
elevens. It will be remembered that these
teams played two games last season, the
Academy winning both by the very nar-
row margin of 2 to 0. The Academy boys
are playing good football this season and
Bellwood is putting up a good game, so
that tomorrow’s contest should prove a
close and exciting one. Don’t fail to at-
tend. You will enjoy the game and the
team needs vour patronage; and again,
this will be the last game here this season
until December 5th, as every game next
month the Academy plays away from
home.

HADLEY’S MOVING PICTURES.—Next
Monday evening, Oct. 31st, at Garman’s,
Edwin J. Hadley, the expert, will present
his exhibition of moving pictures,an attrac-
tion which is without question one of
the most wonderful of its kind in America,
and besides which all others are but feeble
imitations. A visit to this truly great ex-
hibition will be of incalenlably more
practical value to yourself and your chil-
dren than years of study from books. Thus
it will be a pleasure and a duty you owe
your children to see this wonderful collec-
tion of animated pictures. In the quality
and cost of the equipment of this attrac-
tion, it far exceeds all other organizations
of its kind, and Mr. Hadley will give to
amusement-goers a galaxy of entertaining
and instructive features guaranteed to
please. As this entertainment is for the
benefit of Gregg Post, No. 95, there should
be a very large attendance.

KILLED AT BEECH CREEK.—Blair Yea-
ger, conductor of the switching crew on the
Beech Creek railroad, was insvantly killed
at Beech Creek station, Wednesday morn-
ing about 8 o’clock. Yeager left Jersey
Shore that morning for Clearfield with a
train of seven cars. The train was stopped
at Mill Hall to attach several cars and while
this was being done the unfortunate man
unconsciously stepped from the storage
track to the main track almost in front of
the locomotive drawing his own train. He
was knocked down and the ponderous
wheels of the engine passed over his body
severing the right arm and the right leg
close to the trunk. The crew hastened to
his assistance, but he was beyond buman
aid. and almost immediately expired.
Deceased was a son of the late Dapiel H.
Yeager, of Snow Shoe township, and was
aged 41 years. He is survived by a wife
and eight children. Yeager was one of the
oldest conductors in the service of the
company on the Beech Creek divieion, but
Wednesday morning’s fatal run was his
first trip as conductor of * the switching
crew.

MATINEE RACES TopAY.—This has
been decidedly a hospital week in Belle-
fonte. The ladies auxiliary bave met
with amazing success with their country
store. The first day it opened the cash
receipts amounted to $160 or more and
the following days have been equally
successful.
Today the men are to takea hand at
raising funds for the needy institution
and, manlike, they are going to have
borse races. All of the local horses,
fast and slow, are going to take a try at
it on the fair grounds this afternoon and
250ts. is the very small price that you
will have to pay to see the fun.
W. V. Larimer, M. B. Garman, Dr.
Jonesand Mr. M. Fauble have kindly
consented to start their racers in one of
the events.
Each livery man in town will entera
contestant in the running event and the
greatest race of them all will be the one
in which all the fellows who think their
horses can go will start and when honesty
compels us to class DeLaun Stewart,
Hard P. Harris, Coi. E. R. Chambers,
Christ Beezer, Isadore Baum and George
Doll all in this class yon will have an idea
of the fun there will be watching these
gentlemen manonvering for a ‘start then
trying to get around that track in less
than four minutes. fh
You'll be there, won’t you? It will he
for a good cause.

Edminston before her marriage and she was
quite popular during her life in Bellefonte.

Bolger, of the Philadelphia Record, and L. R.
Goshorn, of the Pittsburg Post. Both the latter
were here hunting the same kind of facts that
Darlington got last week, anent the judgeship
contest and Mr. Bolger even found a few new ones
to sandwich with the old in an interesting article
in Wednesday's Record on the Centre county
fight. »
—The Twitmires have been having a little
family reunion during the week, that is, so far as
the boys of the family are concerned. Of course
Joe lives here, so he is always as near home as
living within a few doors of it will allow, but on
Saturday night Wilbur, who has worked himself
up to the rank of a sergeant of the hospital corps
of the regular army and is stationed in Wash-
ington, D. C., dropped in and then, on Sunday,
Alton, the oldest son, who lives in Johnstown,
and might as well be in Japan, so far as getting
home often is concerned, came along on the
morning train, so that the trio of ex-foot-ball and
base-ball players are having ail the enjoyment
that is possible.

Mr. William Waddle due recognition of
his estimable service as an employee of the
Nittany Iron company has been shown by
his election, at a meeting of the board of
directors of the company on October 9th,
to the responsible position of secretary and
treasurer of the company. This announce-
ment may seem to come a little late but
it is all owing to the extreme modesty of
treasurer Waddle who is averse to any-
thing that even savors of public notoriety.
Mr. Waddle first went into the employ
of the Bellefonte Furnace company in 1898 °
as bookkeeper and later served as pay-
laaster until July, 1904, when, upon its
re-organization, he accepted a position
with the Nittany Iron company as hook-
keeper and paymaster, in which capacity
he served until his recent promotion.

fragrant perfume of the apple blossoms and
the clover all through the story of “Uncle
Josh Spruceby,’’ and one seems to breathe
the balmy air of the country as the many
interesting scenes are being enjoyed. See
this play and see how much better you
feel after witnessing the scenes on the old
farm, aod the natural acting of the com-
pany. You will find the comedy the
genuine article, and no matter how old
a theatre goer you may be you will smile,
and smile loudly, at the many clever lines
and fanny situations with which the piay
abounds. At Garman’s, Saturday after-
noon matinee and night, October 29th.
