THE GLORIOUS FoURTH.—The Fourth
of July was a very quiet day in Bellefonte
most everybody going either with the Un-
dincs to Hecla park or out to Snow Shoe to
attend the opening of the new driving park.
The crowd at Hecla was hardly as large as
in former years and yet was large enough
to enable the Undines to realize a good re-
turn for their trouble, the amount cleared
being about $240. Both the Zion and State
College bands were present to furnish mus-
io and there were various amusements to
help one pass away the time, among which
was a base ball game between the Hecla
team and a picked team from this place.
There were just a few over twenty-one
hundred paid admissions through the gates
of the new driving park at Snow Shoe for
the union picnic of the Red Men, Odd Fel-
lowe and United American Mechanics. One
of the chief attractions there was the horse
race between ‘Frank C,’’ driven by Dave
Wireman, of this place, and ‘‘Rebe,’’ the
pacing mare owned by W. D. O’Brien, Snow
Shoe, for a $300 purse. The race was won
by the formor horse in two straight. heats,
the time being 2:27 and 2:23. The new
track is a very good one, though a little
hard. Another feature was a ball game be-
tween Peale and Winbarne for a purse of
$50, the former winning hy the score of 12
to 3. In the evening there was a big dis-
play of fireworks.
There was no amusement of any kind
during the day in Bellefonte, while the
scarcity of the booming of the big dynamite
oracker was very noticeable. So far as
known there were but three accidents re-
corded in this place. In the evening Malin
Everhart, son of Mr. and Mrs. George Ev-
erhart, was hit on the forehead and badly
burned by an exploding torpedo. John
Clark was badly burned in the face by the
premature discharge of some fireworks, and
Miss Mame Hamiltcn was badly burned on
the arm by a torpedo which was thrown
against the frame of a window in which
she was sitting, in the Breckerboff house,
setting fire to ber clothing.
——Ed. Brown, of this place,a telephone
lineman in the employ of the Pennsylvania
Telephone company, while at work on a
pole near Millheim the other day, was
struck by lightning and knocked uncon-
scious to the ground. He entirely recov-
ered from the effects of the stroke in a few
hours.
——Frank T. Kerns installed a new
boiler and other machinery in his laundry
on Water street, this week:
was held at the Fallon house, Lock Haven,
——The large barn on the farm of J. C.
Peters on Dix run, in Union township, was
totally destroyed by fire at noon on July
4th. In addition to the building four
horses, four head of cattle, a lot of new
bay, wagons, harness and other farm im-
ple ments were burned. The barn was in-
sured but on the stock, which belonged to
Frank Peters, who was farming the place,
there was no insurance.

——Last Friday afternoon Mrs. Young,
a widow lady who lives in the Bush Addi-
tion, went out to her hen house to look for
eggs and was horrified to see a large black-
snake coiled up in a hen’s nest. She called
across the street to her neighbor, Boyd Cow-
her, who wens to her assistance. Looking
at the snake Cowher was amazed fo see if
in the act of swallowing a china nest-egg,
already having it almost entirely in its
mouth. He secured a gun and shot off the
reptile’s head. The snake was a very big
one, being fve feet, nine and one-half inch-
és in length and almost as thick as a man’s
forearm.

OFF To CAMP.—Company B departed at
4:30 o’clock yesterday morning on a special
train, by way of Tyrone, for the brigade
camp at Erie, Pa. Owing to the unusual
earliness of the hour very few people were
at the depot to cee the boys off. The ad-
vance detail, consisting of Corporal H.W.
Schreffler and privates Frank Hazel, Dan’l
Sweitzer, Harry Smith, Harry Jodon, Wil-
liam Barner and A. R. Houser, and the
hospital corps of the Fifth regiment, con-
sisting of Dr. John Robinson, assistant sur-
geon; Sergeant Claude Smith and Edward
Hayes, J. H. Robb, R. Russell Blair, Ed-
ward Keichline, W. W. Gephart, and
Hugh Crider departed for camp on the
1:05 p. m. train Wednesday.
This will be the first year for the hospit-
al corps from this place, consequently the
boys are now getting their first taste of
camp life. 4

ODD FELLOWS REUNION.—A meeting of
the officers of the Centre County Odd Fel-
lows Reunion association, namely the pres-
ident W. P. Kuhn, of Bellefonte; vice pres-
idens, Percy C. Rudy, of State College; sec-
retary, A.J. Tate, of Pine Grove Mills,
and treasurer, Scott Meese, of State College,
met in the hall of the College lodge, Mon-
day evening, to consider reports and decide
upon the place for the holding of the renn-
ion this year. The various lodges being
almost unanimous in their choice of locali-
ty it was decided to hold the reunion at
Grange Park, Centre Hall, Tharsday, Au-
gust 10th, (or perhaps a week later.) The
officers and members of the general commit-
tee, consisting of one member from each
lodge, will meet to make final arrangements
for the year’s gathering in the room of the
Centre Hall lodge, on Monday evening, Ju-
ly 17th. It is to be hoped that every mem-
ber of the order will work to make this
year’s reunion a grand success. Throw la-
bor and cares to the winds and devote the
day to the fraternal and social benefits of
the order. The speakers for the day will
all be Centre countians, but they will be
well worth hearing. While the reunion
will be in the shape of a basket picnic all
kinds of refreshments will be sold on the
grounds.

AN ATTRACTIVE NEW FEATURE FOR
THE GREAT CENTRE COUNTY FAIR.—The
Great Centre County Fair baving grown to
be a permanent enterprise among the in-
stitutions of this county, the gentlemen
who have it in charge have adopted a policy
of progress. There will be no indifference,
no standing still in the matter of making
it the great moral, social, industrial exhibi-
tion is ought to be.
Centre is a great county and should have
a great fair.
That the fair association intends that it
will have one is insured by this latest and
novel feature that is to be added.
In a building specially designed for the
purpose there will be a
GRAND COMPETITIVE TOWNSHIP EXHIBIT.
This exhibit will be open to every town-
ship in the county and in order to add in-
terest and zest to it three grand prizes will
be awarded as follows :
To the township baving the best general
exhibit, a handsome organ.
To the township having the second best
exhibit $30 to be applied to the purchase
of charts and maps.
To the township having the third bess
exhibit, the Standard dietionary.
All of these prizes are intended for the
schools of the townships and will be award-
ed in the following manner :
With each paid admission to the fair
grounds will be given one ballot which the
holder can mark and cast for the township
he or she judges has the best exhibit.
When a particular township has won one of
the prizes, it shall belong to the school dis-
trios from which most of the exhibits mak-
ing up the general township exhibit
have been collected.
It is also understood thatthe exhibits
making up the respective township dis-
plays will also be entered for competition
in their respective classes, if the exhibitor
so desires, and in that way he will be able
not only to contribute to the success of the
schools, but to receive whatever cash
awards the exhibit may merit.
This undertaking should prove one of
the most interesting and attractive exhibits
ever made in this county, and it will ocer-
tainly be that if the townships enter into it
with the proper spirit.
Here is the opportunity to secure some-
thing useful for your schools withous a
single cent of outlay further than the little
trouble in collesting and arranging the dis-
play. .
School directors, school teachers, school
children, and parents should all interest
themselves in it, and the work should begin
at once. Now is the time when the pro-
duots of the field and garden are maturing.
The men could save these articles, the
women could prepare products of culinary,
household and fanoy work excellence, and
the children anything that has meris in it.
It is to be understood that the display may
inolude anything grown or made in Centre
county and the more of it the better.
In order tbat there may be no handicap
because of the isolation of any particular
district, the competition will be open to
every township and borough in the county
with the exception of Bellefonte.

A NEw KIND OF HORSE DEAL.—About
three weeks ago Mr. Thomas Laurie decided
that his horse ‘‘Dick,’”’ presented to him
several years ago hy Col. W. Fred Rey-
nolds, had grown too old to be of any
further use and concluded to have him
chloroformed. Not wishing to do the job
himself he engaged John Wagner to give
the animal its quietus and perform the
final obsequies, giving him one dollar to do
the job. John willingly consented, declar-
ing he knew a big sink hole down along
the mountain which would be the very
place in which to dump the carcass.
John engaged Cloyd Daley to assist him
and together they started down along the
mountain with the horse. On their way
down they evidently must have come to
the conclusion that it was a oruelty to kill
the horse or else a waste of an opportunity
to make a raise, for instead of ohloroform-
ing the beast as they were paid to do they
took the animal down to Curtin and sold
him to Charles Shultz for thirteen dollars,
cash; then came home and reported the
horse Dick dead and buried.
About two weeks ago Mr. Laurie was told
that his old horse wae still alive and in pos-
session of Mr. Shultz. He at once went
down to Curtin, learned how tke animal
had been sold hy Wagner and Daley and
demanded his return which was acceded to.
He brought the horse home and then had
him properly chloroformed and buried. In
the meantime Daley, learning that their
deal had been found ous, quickly left for
a visit out of town. Shultz came to Belle-
fonte, Monday of last week, for the pur-
pose of getting his thirteen dollars back,
even if he had to resort to the law, but the
affair was amicably settled in some way
not made public.

A MONSTER TROUT.—Possibly the larg-
est trout ever caught in this section or at
any time taken from the waters of Spring
creek, was caught last Friday by John K.
Miller, of Yeagertown, who was here last
week visiting his parents. The fish, which
was of the rainbow species, was caught out
at the upper match works dam. It meas-
ured just twenty-five and one-half inches
in length, seven inches deep across the
sides and weighed five and one-half pounds.
Mr. Miller took the trout home with him
on Saturday to present it to the U. B. min-
ister over there.

ages he turns out his very presence was enough
