VETERAN CLun's REUNION. — The
thirty-second annual reunion and basket
picnic of the Centre Co. Veteran's club was
Ce beld at Hunter's park last Saturday and
Bellefonte, Pa., September 14, 1906.] | proved a most successfal and enjoyable
— — ~ | day’s outing for the old soldiers aad their
Coszesroxpexts.—No communications pubt- | many friends. From eight hundred to one
tshed unless accompanied by the real name of | ghoneand persons were present but it was
he writer.
-— a noticeable fact that the ranks of the vete-
mos are growing thinver and thinner every
year. The State College band was there to
furnish music for the occasion and they
proved themselves good ‘‘blowers,” enter-
taining the crowd present nntil the first
meeting was beld, at 11 o'clock in the
morning, for the purpose of electing officers.
General Beaver presided and in the
course of bis opening remarks he stated
that the sam of $35,000 had all been
raised and the entire cost of the Cen-
tre county soldiers and sailors monu-
ment and Curtin memorial had been ligui-
dated. This, of course, was good news to
the soldiers, all of whom bad done every-
thing possible for years past for the erec-
tion of the monument. The officers elect-
ed for the ensuing year were as follows:
President, Gen. James A. Beaver; vice
presidents, Capt. W. H. Fry, Pine Grove
Mills, and Capt. W. C. Patterson, State
College; secretaries, W. H. Musser and 8.
B. Miller, of Bellefonte; treasurer, Capt.
Geo. M. Boal, Centre Hall.
At twelve o'clock the veterans and
everybody else hunted their baskets and
brought forth the good things to eat, with-
out which no picnic gathering is complete
and in this instance the crowd was of the
kind to properly appreciate all the ‘‘good
things;'’ and we bave no doubt that many
of the old soldiers compared the same with
the ration of hardtack and bacon on which
they subsisted many a day during the
wan
In the afternoon another meeting was
held at which speeches were made by Capt.
C. F. Barclay, of Sinnemaboning, the Re-
publican candidate for Congress in this
district; Revs. James B. Stein and J. Al-
lison Platts; Capt. G. T. Michaels, of Lock
Haven; Col. R. H. Grier, of Jersey Shore;
W. C. Heinle and D. F. Fortney, of Belle-
fonte. The committee on place of meeting
next year reported in favor of Grange
park, Centre Hall.
The principal amusement of the after
noon was a base-ball game between the
State College and Filmore teams, the for-
mer winning by the score of 11t0 9. All
in all it was an ideal outing for all who
were fortunate enough to be there.

HAs MANY INVENTIONS—Several weeks
ago we noted the fact that our long-time
friend and former towneman, Mr. Jack
McLellan, had received letters patent for a
reversible surface trolley rail which at the
time we predicted would prove one of the
most valuable and useful inventions of
later years. Already we understand Mr.
McLellan bas bad numerous offers for his
patent, some of them reaching the size of
a pretty lair fortune, bat his purpose is to
have the rail placed upon the market and
already a Pittsburg manufacturing firm is
negotiating with him for ite manufacture.
In addition to the doable surfaced rail
Jack seems to have kept his head pretty
busy evolving new ideas and new inven.
tions. The records in the patent office
show the following list of patents
either granted or applied for by him.
Burglar alarm, hose supporter for women
or men, lock nut and bolt, quick acting
monkey wrench, lead pipe connection,
table for regulating the length of dress
skirts, extension treadle for pianos, an in-
stautaneous shoe lacer, ar interlocking
paving and building brick, ladies hand bag,
a punctureless automobile tire, a portable
porch for city houses, an automatic chicken
feeder, an electric trolley that does away
with poles and wires.
Certainly if there ie a fortune in each of
them, Jack has a good many fortunes wait-
ing him and we know of no one who deserves
bis good luck more or will be able to put it
to hetter use.

Facts As 10 CLARE PAun KILLING
DEER.—During the past week or two con-
siderable of a controversey has been going
on in the newspapers as to Clark Paul, of
Monument, being arrested for killing a
deer out of season. The correct facts are
that last February Mr. Paul killed a deer
and fearing he would be found out and ar-
rested bad a friend go to Mill Hall and
make information of the act before a justice
of the peace. Paul entered a plea of guilty
and was fined the amount prescribed by
law, $100, balf of which went to the in.
formant. A month or so ago he was ar-
rested by game warden Hummelsbaugh, of
Clearfield, for the same offense. He was
brought to Bellefonte and at a hearing be-
fore a justice of the peace it was decided
that the first information and payment of
fine was irregular inasmuch as it wasa
partial evasion of the law, and Mr. Paul
was again fined $100 and costs, or $137.50
all told. However, as he bad already paid
$50 which went to the State that amount
was deducted so that ali told it cost him
just $137.50.
~The Proud Prince’’ will be seen
in Bellefonte at an early date for the first
time ; in fact this remarkable play has not
been presented at all outside of large cit-
ies, and ite advent in the smaller towns is
due to the enterprise of Nixon & Zimmer-
man, who secured the place for their new
star, Mr. Porter J. White. The drama
will be presented by a large company of
selected players and equipped with a pro-
duction of richness and beauty.

——— About fifty members of the Epworth
League of the M. E. church enjoyed a
straw ride to Zion, last Thursday evening,
where they participated in a corn roast.
It was a novel means of entertainment for
the most of them, as very few bad ever
seen a coru roast, let alone share the en-
joyment of eating the corn. Other refresh-
ments were also served and with various
games, etc., the evening passed most de-
lightfully. Miss Viola Robb, one of the
party, met with a slight accident which re-
sulted in a sprained ankle.
—— An alarm of fire last Thursday even-
ing brought out both companies, though
their services were not needed. The fire
was in the cupalo at the Lingle foundry

to the fire a number of boys undertook to
take the Logan's hose cart. Coming down
High street the cart got away from the
boys. Edward Overton fell down and bad
one leg ruo over but was not badly injur-
ed. The cart ran into the hitching posts
in front of the Harris block.
——After attending the fair last year
everyone understood why it was called the
Great Centre County Fair. Surely it was
great, bat this fall it will be greater than
ever. The management has promised to
improve it just in proportion to the public
interest that i= manifested. Last year there
was such an unprecedented outpouring of
people that there could be no mistaking
the popular wish for a great fair, so this
year you will have it. It will be some-
thing far and beyond anything anticipated
and, mark the prediction, when the fair is
ended this fall you will hear the people on
all sides declaring that it bas been the
greatest thing the county has ever seen.

Is THERE “A WoMAN IN Brack?”
~—Just now Bellefonte is in the throes of
‘a woman in black’’ scare. A number of
people claim to have seen her, or him, as
two young men allege that they chased the
person in black on Monday night and that
he was a man, as he took off his cloak in
order to give him more freedom to run.
His nightly wanderings do not seem to be
confined to any particalar locality, as he
has been seen on Water street, Howard
street, in the cemetery and on Lamb street.
While it is hardly likely that the person,
whoever he is, i# around for any evil pur-
pose or intent, yet he is running a grave risk
for his life as somebody is likely to do
some off hand shooting if the ‘‘woman in
black’ becomes too persistent.

charming and ideal than any other and
perhaps it was because of this that the
wedding of Miss Bess Glenn, of State Col-

though quiet, owiag to the family beiog in
mourning. If the old adage “Happy is
the bride that the sun shines on’ be true
there is much happiness in the future for
Mrs. Kottcamp. The house was profusely
decorated with wild clematis, spyrea, as-
ters and ferns. As the clock in the college
tower strack twelve Miss Regina Kott-
cawp, sister of the groom, began Mendel-
sohn’s wedding march and the bridal par-
ty, consisting of the groom and best map,
