Since that it has been learned that her illness is not of so serious a nature, and consists principally of an attack of toneilitis, to which she bas been subject for some time, , For THE DEDICATION OF THE SOLDIERS’ | ——For the twenty-third day of April MONUMENT AND CURTIN MEMORIAL.—A ' was Monday cool enough for youn ? meeting was held in the court house at & | o'clock Tuesday evening for the purpose of starting the movement to get things in shape for the dedication of the Centre coun- ty soldiers’ monument and Curtin mem- orial on Friday, Jane Sth. A good sized crowd was present though General Beaver was absent as he is still confined to his house with illness and Col. Spangler was unable to be there as he was detained on business in Philadelphia. He sent a letter of regret, however, in which among other things, he said : 1 am simply delighted with the beauty of the design aud the excellent purpose it serves in ting the memory of so maay gallant ellows who enjoyed the honor of ng their country. I want to be num. bered among those who are willing to a d assist in rearing ol s exqu A of art, and herewith enclose my check fi 00. I sincerely bh you will be able Jor 00, the ioe without a deficit. The meeting was orgavized by the elec- tion of Hammon Sechler, chairman, and W. H. Musser, secretary. On motion of D. F. Fortney Esq., the following com- mittees were appointed : Committee on Finance.—Col. J. L. Spangler, chairman ; Charles M. McCurdy, John P. Harris, John M. Shugert, Hammon Sechler, John Blanch” ard and Col. W. Fred Reynolds. Committee on Decorations.—8., H. Williams, chairman ; J. Will Conley, J. L. Montgomery, Hard P. Harris, John D. Meyer, Robert F. Hun- ter, Ed. Eckenroth, George R, Meek and Henry Lowery. Committee on Public Exercises and Program, ~Gen. James A. Beaver, chairman ; (to select his own associates.) Committee on Invitations.—~Gen. John I. Cur- tin, chairman ; (to select his own associates.) Commitliee on Reception.—Hon. William C. Heinle, chairman ; (toselect his own associates.) Committee on Transportation.—(Not yet made up.) Following the appointment of the com- mittees brief speeches were made by D. F. Fortuey, W. C. Heinle and ex-Judge John G. Love, in which all urged the people of Bellefonte and Centre county to bestir themselves and make the dedication of the soldiers’ monument one of the biggest days ever witnessed in Bellefonte. It was stated that Governor Penny packer bad already signified his intention to be present with his staff and most of the State officials. Adjutant General Thomas J. Stewart bas accepted the invitation to be prerent and make the dedicatory address for the soldiers’ monument and Col. A. K. McClure, of Philadelphia, bas accepted the invitation to be present and make the ad- dress for the Cartin memorial. There will also be present the State department com- mander of the G. A. R., bis staff and many other prominent members. It is also very likely that Major General J. P.8. Gobin and staff of the National Goard will attend and it is the intention to bave the Fifth regiment and Sheridan troop present and, perhaps, a battery of artillery. The Sol- diers’ Orphans’ Sixteeners will attend as an organization and all the G. A. R. posts in Centre county, as well as some in ad- joining counties will be here. So it will be seen that the day is to be made a big one and the crowd it is intended to have in line should be the biggest one of all the big crowds Bellefonte ever entertained. Bat to do all this will require some mon- ey, and no little amount at that. It is es- timated that is will require from $1,200 to $1,500 to defray the expenses of dedication day and as this is the last tim: the old sol- diets will ever come before the people of the county asking anything, there should be no trouble in raising the amount. Bat it should not be left to Bellefonte alone to raise the fond. The monument is as much one part of the county’s as it is another, and the dedication of it should be made a universal event, to he participated in by everybody and the expense should there- fore be borne by all. So when you are asked to contribute your share, whether you live in Bellefonte, Philipsburg or any other town, or even in the country districts, don’t be at all backward about doing your part. James Harris read the financial state- ment of the monument committee which shows that it will require about six thous- and dollars yet to defray all the expense of completing the monument. A petition signed by close to two hundred citizens of the county was presented to the grand jury on Wednesday urging them to have the county donate another five thousand dollars towards the balance yet to be raised. It this ie returned favorably it will leave bat a small amonnt to be made up, which ouglit to be done without any trouble. The county commissioners have started in tofix up the surroundings so as to be ready when the day for the dedication comes. The Haupt brothers began, Tues- day morning, digging the loundations for the concrete pavement to be put down around the monument and will push the work as fast as possible. It will not be long now uutil the name plates will be all cast and bere and then it will not take long to finish everything up. But no time must be wasted, as it will be only six weeks from today that the dedication will take place. Tre Missour! GIRL.—‘‘The Missouri Gitl"’ contains all the elements that go to make up an enjoyable evening's entertain- ment. A good strong plot with intensely interesting dramatic situations, novel spe- cialties, peculiar dances, the very best scenic and mechanical stage effects, and the most lndicrous situations ever seen in one play. The company headed hy Miss Sadie Raymond is the pick of the profes- sion ; no ‘‘sticks’’ to bore you, hut every one an artist in his line. This attraction will be seen at Garman's, Wednesday even- ing, May 20d.

GPE nme ——The County Commissioners have now a force of men at work painting the court house white. Plasterers have patch- ed up all the unsightly holes in the plaster- ing along the foundation and when the painting is completed the building will doubtless present a spotless appearance for a time, at least. Some very good improve- ments have also been made in the toilet rooms. > —— Arrangements bave practically been completed for the annual reunion of the survivors of Company H, 148th Pennpa. Vole., which will be held at Port Matilda next Thursday, May 3rd, in commemora- tion of the forty-third anniversary of the battle of Chambersburg.

Lenbart, whoa number of years ago published the Wil- liameport Breakfast Table and Jater was em- ployed as a corporation clerk in Harris. burg, is now a resident of the city by the sea and last Saturday evening, as a graduate of Buckuvell University and a member of Delta chapter, helped to organize the At- lantic City Phi Gamma Delta club. —— ——This is the night the Thespians of State College will appear at Garman’s, in this place, in their three act farce-comedy, “Facing the Music.” The Thespians gave their first rendition of this play at the Col- lege last Friday evening and were pro- nounced very good by those whosaw them. As their entertainment bere tonight is under the auspices of the D. A. R., and for the benefit of the Bellefonte hospital, a large audience should be present. > ——Next year’s session of the Central Pennsylvania Methodist Episcopal con- ference will again be held in Tyrone, the five presiding elders ata recent sitting bav- ing decided unanimously to accept the in- vitation of the First charch of that place which entertained the conference this year. Tyrone Methodists will thus break all rec- ords as conference hosts as never before in all its history has the Central Pennsylvania conference been entertained two years in succession in the same church and place. a A sisi ——In a well played game the Bellefonte Academy base ball team defeated the Wil- liamsport High school team, on the glass works meadow grounds, last Friday after- noon, by the score of 5 to 2. The same afternoon State College defeated Lebanon Valley college on Beaver field by the score of 19 to 5, and on Saturday went to Johns- town where they were defeated by the Johnstown Tri-State team by the score of 4t02.

Fryberger, cashier of the First National bank of Philipsburg, has broken ground for the erection of a new solid brick dwelling on South Centre street, on the lot formerly owned by the late Oscar Adams, deceased. The building will be two stories, size 40x43, and constructed of the handsome buff brick manufactured by the Williams Grove Brick Co. J. D. Snoke & Son, of Clearfield. are the contractors. It will contain all the modern conveniences and will undoubtedly be one of the best and prettiest homes in that little mountain town. ——The meeting which was to have been beld in the Y. M. C. A. rooms, Tuesday evening, for the purpose of organizing a base ball club for Bellefonte was not held owing to the meeting in the court house in the interest of the dedication of the soldier's monument. It is the intention of the enthusiasts, however, to hold a meeting soon and it is hoped that every person in Bellefonte who is interested in the national game and would like to see a team here will attend. It is not the intention to ges up a paid team, but merely a team of local players who will play the game for the ‘sport there is in it. ; ‘rows W. H. Farris was present at the AT THE FisH HATCHERY.—The Belle- foote fish batchery is an interesting place for sigaat-seers these nice days. The ma- jority of the millions of trout fry batched there the past season bave heen shipped and deposited in the various streams throughout the State, but there are many other things of interest to see, when one tires of watching the thonsands of adult trout in the large ponds, The new frog pond bas been completed and two consigments of frogs eggs have been received and placed therein. While to a certain extent frog culture will be made a specialty it would not be advisable for the epicurean to sharpen up his teeth in anticipation of a feast on frogs legs, as they will be raised principally for feed for she trout breeders and to he shipped to other places for growing. The propagation ef pike will also bea | feature of the Bellefonte hatchery and al- ready several ponds have been prepared for the reception of a consignment of fall grown pike which is expected most any day. During the past two years the fact bas developed that there is ample water obtainable in the vicinity of the batchery for all needful purposes. ! The limited appropriations of the past two years has retarded the work of beauti- fying the grounds but an effort in this di- rection will be made this sammer. Drives through the grounds bave already been staked off and will be graded and graveled as fast as possible with the force of men at command. Oo last Arbor day, April 6th, several hundred maple and other shade trees were planted and as many more have been ordered and will be planted throogh- out the grounds as soon as they are receiv- ed. When the plans in view shall all bave beeu carried out the Bellefonte fish hatchery will be one of the best and most beautifully located in the State. Harry I. Griffith and D. W. Houser, of the hatchery force, left last Saturday for Torresdale to assist W. H. Safford in the collection of shad’s eggs on the Delaware river. e——————— A) BRIEF SEssioN oF CourT.—The regular April term of quarter sessions court con- vened on Monday with Judge Orvis on the bench.

Though he just re- turned from a two weeks trip the beginning of ast week he left again on Monday on a business trip to Philadelphia, expecting to return today. —Among the Philipsburgers who were in!Belle- f onte in attendance at court this week were Capt. Harry Simler, C. W. Millard, detective, and James Black who, since he has gone out of the wholesale liquor business, has opsned a butcher shop. —John Williams, of Martha Furnace, was in town during the fore part of the week acting as a grand juror. IfJohn's aim st things illegal is as unerring as it is when he is watching a'deer cross- ng on the Alleghenies, we want to tell you that this grand jury did all that it was summoned to hour Judge Orvis received a long-distance | do. telephone message that his danghter, Miss Anne, who is attending school in Philadel- phia, was seriously ill and threatened with dipbtheria, and asking him to come at once. As he was compelled to leave on the 1:25 p. m. train he discharged the traverse jurors drawn for the week, gave instructions that the grand jury was to stay in session until it completed its work, inasmuch as the witnesses in all Common- wealth cases were present, then adjourned court until next Monday morning.

Daring the grand jury's sessions Monday afternoon, Tuesday and Wednesday Dis- triot Attorney W. G. Ruokle was in sole charge.

Mr. Beck at one time lived in Belle- fonte and is known over most all of Centre coun- t yas a dealer in pianos and a first-class tuner, a business he still follows in Lock Haven. ~Major W. J. Singer, well known to all Centre countians, who has been in Bellefonte the past three months on legal business, completed his work on Tuesday and Wednesday left for Brook- lyn, N. Y., which he now terms his home; and we'll wager withina fortnight he'll be pining « just one more of those delightful walks he enjoyed so much while here. —Among the Philipsburgers who were in town attending court during the week were merchant Wm. Burchfield, Will Reed and C. H. Houck, the dairyman, They didn't get to stay long, how- ever, as the adjournment of court at noon on Monday because of the serious illness of the Judge's daughter sent all the juror's for the week home; leaving only the grand jurors in session. —Hon. Robert M. Foster, of State College, transacted business in Hellefonte on Tuesday. Since the College has become such a growing place Bob is becoming one of the leading busi- ness men and as such is one of the busiest of hem all. If he is making money as fast corres pondingly he will wake up one of these fine mornings to find himself booming along toward the millionaire point. —Col. John A. Daley, of Curtin township, was Mr. Griest will be 70 years old in January |, Bellefonte on Monday and now since he has and he has evidently decided to spend the rest of his days in leisure. His store at Unionville has long been known as one of the best country stores to be found any- where and throagh all the years of his suc- cess there he has won and retained the confidence of that entire community. J. C. Stere, who is at present conducting a small store in Unionville, is to be the purchaser of the Griest store. mrs. GAA ise ss REPUBLICAN CANDIDATES. — Centre been announced as a candidate for the legisla- tive nomination he is in such favor with the loeal politicians that they perforce compelied him to stay in town over night.

For Congress, John G. Love, Bellefonte. State Senator, H. C. Quigley, Bellefonte; P. E. Womelsdorf, Philipsburg. Legislatare, C. T. Fryberger, Philipsharg; John A. Daley, Curtin township.

He has what is technically known as trichophytosis barbae, or sycosis. It is a parasite or larvae which works on the bearded portion of a man’s face. Several months ago Mr. Bible first discovered the appearance of the dis- ease after shaving and it bas spread until the lower portion of his face is completely covered with it, rendering his condition quite serious. ——Dr. James K. Hosterman, of Pot- ter township, has gone to Detroit, Miob., where he anticipated seouri ng employment in the cottage than in the castle, John A. Fort- ney, of | Boalsburg, stepped into the office and paid an old, old account of his father's that had been standing for years. He made the payment cheerfully avd voluntarily saying that “while father was poor and I am poor” yet I want to see it. We could not help contrasting the char acter of that man with that of some people in our midst who doubtless think they are so much more. Wehave in mind those people who take advantage of the statute of limitation in order to a void payment of what they know and are ready to acknowledge—is a just debt. Home of them do it from pure crookedness, others because their t awyersadvise them to do so, yet most of them think themselves models that honest John Fort- ney would do well in emulating. We know the two, however, and know that John Fortney is the more deserving of the respect and confidence of honorable persons. This is not what we start- ed out to say though. We intended to thank the following for their remittances of the week: J. L. Rote, Mrs. A. Hibler, W.A. Ishler, J. P. Lonsbury, D. W. Geiss and J. H.
