Kaupr.—Thedeath’ of Mrs.George Kaup,

many friends. Alwaysa robust woman
and virtoally in the prime of life her de-
mise at this time seemed, indeed, prema-
tare. In good health up to a couple weeks

Mr. and Mrs. Daniel Dorman, of Nittany
Hall. She was aged 53 years. Fifteen

Clintondale; Mis. Andrew Geiser, of Madi-
son burg; Mrs. Adam Yocum and Harry, of
Hublersburg; William P. and Newton, of
Avis. The funeral was held on Monday.

brose M. Schmidt, of the Reformed church,
of which deceased was a member. The re-
m ains were taken to Snydertown for inter-
ment.

ANENT THE SOLDIERS’ MONUMENT.—A
well attended meeting of the Soldiers’ Mon
ument committee was held in this place
Saturday morning. Gen. Beaver, as chair-
man of the committee, reported that he
had been in New York and had seen some
of the granite work and bronze figures of
the monument and that they were excel-
lent. That the Van Amringe company
were about ready to begin the shipments
of the material to this place and expected
to have the monument all up and complet-
ed for unvailing in October, possibly in
the early part of the month. Already
about twelve hundred soldier’s names have
been sent in to be cast on bronze plates
and these will be sent in as fast as correot-
ed until the total list of from thirty-five
hundred to four thousand is complete.
It was further reported that the sun of
money so far raised and at the command
of the committee was about $7,000 short of
the amount required to build the monun-
mens and to raise this amount James Har
ris, Col. James P. Coburn and Col. Austin
Curtin were appointed a committee to see
that Centre county was thoroughly canvass-
ed and everybody given an opportunity to
contribute something, no master how little
or how hig asum, toward the monument
fund. A soldiers’ monument has been ag-
itated for the past eleven years and now
when the building is assured all who can
possibly do so should not hesitate to con-
tribute their share toward the expense of
erecting it.
THE MATINEE RACES.—Quite a good
crowd assembled at the driving park, last
Friday afternoon, to witness the matinee
races held for the parpose of trying out the
speed of the three local horses and Roebe,
W. D. O’'Brien’s pet, of Snow Shoe. The
contests were exciting enough though
‘Roebe’s victory over Frank C, Fred Mose-
barger’s horse,was as much of a surprise as
it was unexpected.
The showing made by Mr. M. B. Gar-
man’s Noella was gratifying as it proved
that Mart really knows a good piece of
horseflesh though the contest might have
been more interesting if W. V. Larimer’s
Roan View had not broken =o frequently.
As it was, however, thespectators got their
money’s worth and the horsemen know as
much now about their horses as they did
before. DeLaun Stewart was official start-
er and the events were as follows:

BAGGAGE RooM RoBBED.—Last Friday
night robbers forced an entrance to the
baggage room of the Pennsylvania railroad
company in this place by prying off the
staple which held the lock and carried
away one telescope and a suit case. The
thieves muss have heen frightened away
as not another thing in the room had been
disturbed. Saturday the charred remnants
of the telescope and its contents were found
on the cinder pile at the Nittany furnace,
where it had been thrown on the hot cinder
and burned. The suit case is still missing.
There is no suspicion as to the identity of
the robbers.
a
THE Y. M. C. A.—The peopl e of Beile
fonte who are anxious to see the associa-
tion business take the place which it de-
serves in this community will be glad to
learn that arrangements have just been
completed by which the building now un-
der construction will be finished at the
earliest possible ; moment, certainly not
later than ninety days from date. The
prospects for a big season’s work are ac-
cordingly assured.

to make life there one long summer's dream.
