The parade of the occasion was so ar- ranged that the veterans first passed the re- viewing stand, carrying a banner upon which was inscribed ‘‘We were brave’ ; they were followed by the ‘‘Guoard’’ whose banner bore the inscription, “We are brave,’’ and they in turn were followed by t be school children of the city bearing a banner upon which was inscribed the mot- to, ‘We will be hrave.” As the first two divisions passed, Napoleon sadly shook his head ; hus as the children, enthused by bearing of the brave deeds of their elders, went cheering by, a smile lit np the face of th: ‘Little Corporal” as he remaiked “There goes the hope of France.” As the eighth of June approaches, when Centre county will dedicate a memorial showing ber appreciation of the loyalty and bravery of her soldiers and eailors, it might be well to ask ourselves: What is all this worth ? If the hope of a nation lies in ite children, the nation is fortified by anything that teaches them a proper appre- ciation of the value of the prosperity aud opportunity, offered them by a free coun- try, the fruit of the uneelfish sacrifice ard devotion of those whose memory we won'd perpetuate. This monument will duily appeal to the loyalty of coming generations and many, igoaorant of the grandeur of their country’s achievemente, will be inspired with pat- riotism ; and may we not hope that the statue of our famous War Governor will arouse within them a sense of responsibili- $y for our civil administration as well as for the natiooal defence? Many who regard citizenship only asa privilege, after viewing the heaunty of this structure, reading the names of those in whose honor it is ereoted, and the long list of battle-fields upon which they fought, will realize for the first time thas the oiti- zeoship brings with is duties and respousi- bilities as well as privileges. It will inspire in the connty’s posterity a love of country and an appreciation of the blessings earned for them by her hon- ored dead, and such a sense of duty as citi- zens, that they will gladly undertake the perpetuation of the national instisution. Is should also awaken a realization thas the country cau live, only, as long as Colum- bia’s children are intelligent and honest as well as brave and that her true bulwark is the unseldsh discharge of the duties of oiti- ze ship and an bovest administration of equal laws for all. It is will bave this influence who shall ask: What is all this worth ? ———— i A ————— —Sabscribe for the WATCHMAN, | | | { | the State. Soldier's Monument Dedication. Big Crowd Presaged for Today. Military, 6 A R., Firemen and Civic Organizations Will be Distinguished Guests Here. With fair weather today Bellefonte will witness one of the biggest times as well as momentons occasions in the history of the town. Today will be unveiled and dedi- cated ove of the most costly as well as ar- tistic monuments erected in any county in Early in 1895, or about three months after the death of the late lament- ed ex-Governor Audrew G. Curtin, a move- ment was started for the erection ofa monument to perpetnafe his memory. There is no nced to recount here how it dragged along year after year until about three years ago when it took definite shape in the proposition tofbuild a soldier’s mon- ument and Curtin memorial in conjone- tion. With an appropriation from the State und fiom the county and the liberal contributions of many friends a sufficient fund was guaranteed to justify the erection of the costly memorial which will be un- veiled and dedicated today in front of the court house. in Line. Most of the distinguished guests who |- will participate in the ceremonies today are already here. The Governor and his party arrived oo the 8.16 train last even- ing. Ccl. E. R.

A special train from Lock Haven will bring three companies of the Twelfth regiment and the G. A. R. posts of Lock Haven. The Fifth regiment band of Clear- field will also be here. About three bun. dred cadets from State College will come down on the morning train. Of course the crowd will not all come in by railroads, as hundreds will drive here from the nearby places. Naturally the first big event of the day will be the parade at 10.30 o'clock. It will begin to form this morning just as soon as the various organizations arrive in town so a8 to be in shape to move promptly at the time named.

Stonerode, who for many years was station agent at Milesburg, on the Bald Eagle Valley rail- ‘ road, and will be surprised to learn thas he ie now in jail at Washington, Pa., on the serions charges of swindling banks and forgery. Aud, according to the Pittsburg papers, Stonerode bas confessed all. His wife, who was a Miss Smith, of Milesharg, and who bas been in delicate health for some time past, is prostiated over the dis- covery of ber bushand’s guilt, as ehe claims to have had uo suspicion of what be was doing. Stoaerode is »aid to have cleaned up over one hundred thousand dollars in wbout seven years and the way he worked it is bess told in the following story as published in a Pittsburg pape: : As an emulator of “Jack the Penman’ and a living Jekyl and Hyde. Boyd H. Stoue- e, who, as Samuel F. Fletcher, is in the Washington county jail on a charge of forg- ery, completely fooled the greatest detectives of the United States for years. Stonerode lives on Main street, Coraopolis, where he has a wife and three children. Stonerode was respected in that place and every person had a good word for him. His home life was exemplary, and the people of Coraopolis were shocked to learn that Stone. rede was the man arrested at Ambridge on a charge of trying to defraud the Bentleyville National bank out of £3,200 by means of a forged letter and check. Stonerode was a telegraph operator em- ployed in a sigoal tower of the Wabash rail- road near the Greentree tunnel. He only made $60 a month as a telegrapher, but his home was finely furnished. He owns bank and oii stocks and is interested in many con. cerns. It was only on a *‘tip’’ that detective Cecil G. Rice learned of his real name and ress. In his home at Coraopolis he bad a type. writer and when not working was always busy with his machine. By constant prac. tice he became a'competent typist and his!fam. ily never kuew where and for what reason he wrote so many letters. Generally about two days after the letters were written he would he absent from home for a time and that i= thought to be when he made “hauls.” Stonerode is a fine penman. His friends say he can use 12 different slyles of hand writing, each one distinct. Ouve of his feats is the writing of the Lord's Prayer on his thumb nail, so that it can be read without uch difficulty. rations, it is all . buy bank and oil His favorite victims were the banks. Holding some of their stocks it was not hard for him to get some of their stationery and the signatures. The latter were learned ra idly and then Stonerode, it is alleged, would make a “killing.” Of all the money he got he never squandered any aud among his holdings are 10 shares of stock of the Colum. bia Savings and Trust company of Pittsburg. Stonerode would mail his xis by the railway postoffice and in that way avoided suspicion and after the letter had time to get to its destination he would follow as per the contents of the letters and get the money. He is a steady worker and except for an oc- casional visit to relatives, as he claimed, lasting two or three duys, he was always ac ey. Stonerode always worked alone. That is what deceived the detectives for years. They expected the man who was defrauding banks in that manner was an expert confi. dence man and a ‘‘good’” crook, but never had an idea it was a telegraph operator who played bis daring cards alone. Cashier J, T. Neill, of the Bentleyville Na- tional bank, lodged an additional informa. tion against Fletcher, charging him with Philadelphia. The address was replete Mies Birdie Stover, of Rebersburg. with bright sayings and good advice, and a ———— Sorgery, The bail, on account of the ad- ditional charge, will be raised to £6,000, i | The Last of the Old Style County Conventions, Semon, : What was probably the last of the old | style Democratic couuty conventions in | Centre county was held in this place on { Taesday. There was a fair attendance of the representive Democrats of the county, | and as if each ove realized that the excit- | ing times of delegate balloting for nomi- | nees was passing into history there was a { noticeable absence of that kip—hurrah ! | style that characterizes the conduct of such | assemblies, Under the act of the recent Legislature in the future all candidates for nomination | on their respective party tickets will be | voted for at the regular election polling | places ; the reception and counting of the votes being in the bands of the regular election boards. Therefore county conven- | tioos of the future will be nothing more | than the gathering of party representatives | for the purpose of rasifying the ticket, | taming resolutions, electing delegates to | the various conventions and conferences, | electing county chairmen and transacting j such other business as is not regulated by | the act of Assembly. | Thelconvention on Taesday was franght with little interest outside of the feature already mentioned. There was no contest of any moment and only two calls of the roll to decide the preference of the body. On all sides there was voticeable an air of quiet confidence. The people of Centre county bave been so astounded by the rev- elations of the boastfulness of the old Board of County Commissioners that it seems to be an accepted fact that they want no more of such Republican mismanagement for years to come. The ticket named for the fall campaign is a short ove, but the convention made up in the quality of ite nominees whats was lacking in the quantity : The Hon. JorN NoLL for Assembly is a candidate entirely satisfactory to all sides. He has been tried in that body and found always on the side of she masses and against thas of the ocor- porations, rascals and public planderers. His first term was merely in the nature of schooling in the forum of the State's law making body and be will go back to repre- sent Centre again because be is now more fit than ever before. Apa HAzew, of Spring township, the veteran carpenter and Democrat has been named for Jury Commissioner and a better choice could nos have been made. He isa representative of one of the oldest families in the county, as well as the largest, and a Democrat whose party fealty has never been questioned, nor bas his character ever beeu sullied by the veriest imputation of scandal of any sort. Our new chairman for 1907 needs no in- troduction to the Democrats of the county. Almost from the day he began the study of law in this place he has been interested in local politics. He has already bad exper- ience in managing campaigns, so that the best results may be expeoted in the larger battles that we will bave to fight in 1907. It was just nine minutes past twelve o'clock when the convention was called to order by county chairman H. S. Taylor, aod secretary H. J. Jackeon read the con- vention call. A permanent organization was effected by the election of F. Pierce Musser, of Millheim, editor of the Journal, as chair- man; George R. Meek and Charles R. Kurtz secretaries, A. A. Pletcher reading clerk and A. G. Archey and D. P. Fortney tellers. The chairman then appointed the following committees: On credentials——Robert M. Foster, of State College; J. M. Keichline, Bellefonte; J. C. Nason, Huston township; J. C. Con- do, Gregg; W. H. Tibbens, Bellefonte; W. J. Carlin, Miles, and Francis Speer, Belle- fonte. On resolaticns. —W. Miles Walker, Bellefonte; F. K. White, Philipsburg; Mi- chael Shaffer, Potter; A. W. Reese, Worth; D. J. Kelly, Bellefonte, and M. D. Kelley, Snow Shoe. When the chairman announced the con- vention open to receive nominations J. W, Kepler nominated H. 8. Taylor for Con- gress. His nomivation was made by ac- clamation. On motion J. C. Harper, Charles R. Kurtz and Col. J. L. Spangler were elected congressional conferees. When it came to the nominations for State Senator J. M. Keichline nominated W. C. Heinle, of Bellefoute, and A. G. Archey nominated Roberts M. Foster, of State College. Heinle was nominated on the first ballot, which stood as follows: Heinle Sig Foster 84 A. Weber, of Howard; Ellis S. Shaffer, of Miles, and P. J. MoDonnell, of Union- ville, were elected senatorial conferees. J. M. Keichline nominated Johu Noll, of Bellefonte, for the Legislature and there being no other nominations his nomina- tion was made by acclamation. J. Adam Hazel, of Axe Maon, and David MeClos- key, of Cartin township, were nominated for Jury Commissioner but before a ballot was taken a letter was read from Mr. Mo- Closkey withdrawing from the contest and Hazel was nominated hy acel amation. There were tive nominees for the four delegates to the state convention, as fol- lows: A. P. Zerby, of Peon; H. C. Dann ker, of Rush; Jacob Swires, Philipsburg George A. Beezer and J. C.
