THE CENTRE CoUNTY FAIR.—For the
first time in five years old Jupiter Pluvins
took a back seat and allowed the weather
man to smile most benignly this week,
with the result that the Centre coanty
fair, which was advertised to be better than
ever before, was not only bigger and grander
in every way but the crowds in attendance
were the largest seen at the county fair for
years. Wednesday there were from four
to five thousand people on the grounds
while yesterday the top notch was scored
with from ten to twelve thousand,
and with continued good weather today
another large crowd should be there.
As to the fair itself, it this year takes
rank with any fair held in the central part
of the State. Practically all the space for
outside exhibits of machinery, etc., is fill.
ed. The live stock exhibit is the largess
ever bad, including the finest strains of
blooded stock, in horses, cattle, hogs and
sheep. One very noticeable thing was the
unusual number of brood mares with suck-
ing colts by their side. The poultry ex-
hibit also deserves special mention. Two
large tents are jammed full of the choicest
fowls, turkeys; pigeons, etc., from both
Centre county growers and other sections
of this State and New York.
A feature that is attracting its full share
of attention is the beautiful. arched monu-
ment. of all kinds of grain and fruit, de-
signed by Henry Strohmeir, of Centre Hall,
and erected just in front of the main ex-
hibition building. In it are to be found
every kind of products raised on the farm
and in the garden.
In the main exhibition building the line
of exhibits in everything usually seen at a
county fair is so large as to be crowded too
much for proper display,a fact which makes
it patent to the fair management that the
exhibition is not only growing but has al-
ready grown beyond the limits of the space
| provided, and that by next year additional
buildings will have fo be ‘provided for ex-
hibition purposes.
In the competitive towuship exhibit,
Marion was: the only. one to respond bat
she did so most liberally. The school board
$00k hald of the matter and - organized for
a systematic canvas’ with the result that is
took John Holmes Jr., Walter Yeariok,
Harry Fravel and Frank Vonada to bring
the exhibit to. Bellefonte in two big wagon
loads after all the stuff had been properly
labeled: by Mrs. Holmes and others. Of
course this exhibit took the first prize, a
$65 organ,
On the midway are the unsnal diversions,
interspersed with the man with the wheel
of fortuneand a few other like innocent
games, while the toy balloon man and the
man with the ‘‘tickler”’ perambulate among
the crowd. Of course the balloon ascension
in she evening is another attraction viewed
by. both: old and young, though Thurs-
day evening: the balloonist attempted to
ascend before the balloon was properly in-
fated wi ith the result shat he was compel-
led to cut doose and fell in the lake, while
the balloon: sailed away. The man was
pot hort in the least. No out-and-out
gambling. schemes are allowsd on the
grounds.
WEDNESDAY’S "RACES.
Of course the most interesting of all the
diversions at any county fair are the races
and these were watched with nnmitigated
satisfaction by the crowd present on Wed-
.nesday.
of the track the 2:17 event was the moss
interesting: to the majority of the people
present the county race was the big thing.
While all of the events were close enough
“to be exciting all were run in straight heats
and there were nosensational finishes. The
county; race was won by Henry Lowery, of
‘this:place, while Lew Wallace, of Miles-
burg; eame in first at the other end with a
great big lead, though he did get around in
‘time: for the races yesterday.

——The ‘secret of thé good patronage
that Miss Ida Bell has established in Belle-

disobarges her obligations. What better
advertisement for a dressmaker than to be
a year ahead with the times—and we can
attest to that. We speak of her as a vis-
itor nowadays from Pleasant Gap, as she
will, for the present, be more at home
there to aid her mother in caring for the
children of her sister, Mrs. Sam Brooks,

to every call made upon him for christian serv-
ice, no matter froni what source the call came ;

THAT ODD FELLOWS GATHERING.—
There will be jost one week of of a breath-
ing spell between the Centre county fair
and the big gathering of Odd Fellows,
which will be held here October 16th-18tb.
Not since the time of theG. A. R. en-
campment here in 1880 has there been
such a crowd as will be here during the
coming Communication of the Grand En.
campment, I.0.0.F. of Pennnylvania
and the Department Council of Patriarchs
Militant. ~ As stated last week there will
not be less than three hundred representa-
tives present and at least that many more
visitors and uniformed camps of the Patri-
archs. The latter will come in all the
splendor and beauty of there gold-glittes-
ing uniforms. To accommodate and enter-
tain this big crowd of visitors will necessi-
tate some extra effort on the part of the
people of Bellefonte. Then in addition,
it would merely be paying due courtesy
to the visitors for the property owners
to appropriately decorate their places of
business.
The Patriarchs Militant, of which J. B.
Andrews, of Altoona, is general, will arrive
early Monday morning and hold their first
session at 10 o'clock and another session
in the afternoon. The representatives of
of Grand Encampment will arrive Monday
evening and hold their first session on
Tuesday morning at 9 o'clock. Tuesday
alternocn all of the visitors will be given
a free exonrsion to State College where they
will bave an opportunity to inspect that
institution in full working order. There
will be $wo sessions of the Encampment on
Wednesday. - All the officers of the Grand
Encampment as well as of the Patriarchs
Militant will be here, which will mean
the bringing together of many prominent
men from all over the State. :

‘Reehe, of Westerley, R. E.,arrived in Belle- |
fonte. last Friday for the purpose ef super-
intending the erection of the soldier’s mon-

required timber for his hoisting derricks, |
eto., and get things in shape tbe worl of
assembling the monumené on the founda-
tion in front of the cowrt honse will be
begun. It is estimated that it will sake |
about six weeks or longer to put every-
thing in place and finieh the monument
ready for unveiling.
Now that work has actually been eowm-
menced on the erection of the monument,
isn’t it about time that some thought is
given to the day when the same will be
wnveiled and dedicated. This will be an
occasion that should be made momentous.
dt:is the first and very likely the only thing
of the kind that will ever be raised in Cen-
tre county; and combining as it dces the
honoring of the soldier dead and the memory
of the greatest war Governor that ever was
known the unveiling and dedication should
be attended with due and proper eere-
monies, 1
A CLosE CALL .— - Shortly before six
o'clock Saturday evening Joe Thal was
driving up the back road from the fair
grounds in his delivery wagon. With him
were John Garthoff and a boy named
Campbell. At the same time the Snow
Shoe train was shifting cars on the Y and
glass works siding and just as Thal was
driving over the crossing a box car was
shunted in which struck the wagon, knock-
ing it from the track and throwing the
three occupants out. Garthoff sustained a
small cut on the head and a few body
bruises. Thal was more or less bruised up
while the boy had hardly a scratch on him
go that oo serious consequences resulted,
miraculous as it seems. The horse was
thrown down and somewhat bruised and
out but not serious. The wagon, however,
was pretty badly broken. Just whose fanlt
it was is hard to say. The men were driv-
ing along, evidently busy talking and did
not notice the box car coming down the
track until it was too late to get out of the
way.

weeks until they decide whether they will spend
t he winter in the South or in California. It is
well seen they are not seeking political aggran-
dizement else they would surely decide for the
South and have the quarantine raised as Teddy R.
talks of doing.
—Mrs. Anna Caswell is visiting Mrs.M. A.Kirk.
For several years she spent the summers here,
now it is only a short visit that: gets later each
season and from the fact that her daughter, Mil-
dred, is now old encugh to prefer Atlantic City to
her old home, it looks as if the family were grad.
ually settling their lines permanently elsewhere.
Mr. and Mrs. Reese Van Ormer have spent the
sum mer abroad for Mr. Van Ormer’s health and
are now in the Adirondacks.
—Evidently some of our kind friends took pity
on us when they saw what a big [crowd was in.
Bellefonte yesterday to attend the big fair and re
alizing just how bad we would feel to go down
there without even a poke of peanuts and not
able to take a ride on the merry-go-round drop.
ped in to help us out a little and so generous were
they that we were able not only to gratify our
longing for a ride on the long-eared wooden mule
but were able to treat ourselves toa glass of
lemonade and even take a squint at
the wild girl. First came Mr. C. Cook, of Pine
Glen, the man who for years was one of Dr. Stew-
arts reglar standbys in his lumbering operations,
who has grown old in the work and expects to go
to Kansas next spriug to spend some time with
his brothers; then came Jacob Markle, of Oak
Hall; Martin Dreiblebis, of State College; Jacob
K erstetter, of Coburn, and best of all Mrs. Harry
Gates, of Pennsylvania Furnace, who came in to
enroll her husband's name as a new subscriber.
Of course we can't adequately tell these gener-
ous hearted friends of ours just how thankful we
Miss Hellen Sterret, of Milroy, is a guest of Mr.
and Mrs, Lew Schaefter, on east Curtin street.
—Miss Charlotte Meek, of Washington, D. C., is
here for a stay of a few weeks at the home of P.
Gray Meek.
—Former Sheriff Cronister, of Philiyshore wae
seen about the wire during the racing at the fair
on Wednesday,
- —Geo. M. Dimeling, of Clearfield, whose name
is borne by the finest hotel in Central Pennsyl-
vania, is in town enjoying the fair and all the per
quisites.
—Mrs. Joseph Strouse, of State College, with
her little grand-son Charles, were doing the fair
yesterday and got onto the grounds early in order
that they might see all of the show.
—Mr. and Mrs. Jas, Dumbleton, of Philipsburg,
were atthe Bush house on Wednesday and Thurs-
day; came over to spend the two days at the fair,
T hey were both delighted with it and as Mr.
Dumbleton said “honestly it was far more attrac.
tive than I expected to find it.”
—Frank Hess,ex-merchant and present coal op-
erator, of Philipsburg, was in {own for the fair,
He doesn’t come over as often as he did when he
had his fingers more actively in politics out that
way, but, possibly, after he strikes “Easy Street’
—and it can’t be too soon to please us—he will be
b ack into the game.
—Mr. and Mre, Wm, Russel, of Beaver Falls,re-
turned to their home on Wednesday after quite a
pleasant visit at their old home here. They were
among those who left with the Standard Scale ~
works and while both of them looked as though
Beaver Falls agrees with them, yet they have
t hat old love for Bellefonte that makes them
glad to get back occasionally while their friends
are equally glad to see them.
—W. T. Myer and wife, C. Spyker and wife,R.
_B. Roper and T. B, Pifer were over from Alexan-
dria this week to attend the fair and visit friends
in Pine Grove. Mr. Pifer made us a short call to
have his paper marked up to 1906 and encourage
us in our aspirations for success in the coming
election. Although he has gold all his property
in Pine Grove it does not follow that he has dis-
posed of his interest in the Democracy of
Centre county.
—Dr, W.A. Buckhout,one of the best known pro.
fessors of State College, was in town Tuesday
evening. For years he has been associated with
- Di Rothrock in arousing interest in the scientific
study of the preservation and cultivation of forests
and is now professor of Forestry in the four years
course on that subject recently established at
State. Inno county is knowledge of this subject
‘more needed than in this where there has been
much ruthless destruction of timber and it is a
most fortunate thing for Centre county that a sys.
tematic course is to be given under so able 2
man as Prof. Buckhout.
—Among the bunch of Philipsburgers who were
here to the fair were Sam Wigton, whose friends
pe rsist in calling him “Matt” —what for we don’t
know and you know we Democrats are a little
“leery” of that name ‘“‘Matt;’ Harry Rumberger,
who js in the oil business but is not giving ten
million dollar checks to Chicago University;How -
ard Sergent, the gentleman who thinks that had
the Japs only used Laffin and Rand powder there
wouldn’t have been enough Russians left to write
up the peace terms and Ed. Jones. What Ed. was
doing here is his business because he didn’t ped-
dle that postal card around among his friends ask -
ing them who she was.
~Mr. and Mrs. J. Hall and" Lillian, arrived on
Wednesday for a visit, timing their arrival most
opportunely as the band was playing and the
streets filled with people—just to welcome them,
of course; and show that things are deing else-
where than on the boardwalk. They left their
auto at home not wanting to make us feel too up-
eountry but when four machines lined up in front
of Lyon's garage was the first thing to meet
their gaze they regretted their forethongil, If
we could be sure of running a hotel 3% -woll Bs
Hallwoode, where Scores ‘of ‘people were turned
‘away this year for lack of room, we might be
tempted to try the business.
