THE GRANGE FAIR AND ENCAMPMENT.
| —The thirty-third anuual fair and escamp-
ment of the Central Pennsylvauia grangers,
at Grange park, Centre Hall, this week,
was one of the most successful held fora
number of years. Every tent was ocou-
pied and the line of exhibits, stock, farm
machinery, etc., was larger and better than
for some years past. Up until yesterday
the weather was all that could be desired,
though a little too warm for comfort.
Yesterday morning's rain doubtless kept
many away from the picnic but notwith-
standing the crowd was a good sized ove.
The picnic was informally opened on
Saturday eveving with a festival given by
Progress grange. Sanday afternoon
annual Harvest Home services were
held in the aoditorium, the sermon being
preached by Rev. G. W. Mcllnay, of the
M. E. church. Monday and Tuesday morn-
ing was entirely devoted to arranging the
exhibits and assigning tenters their desired
quarters.
Tuesday afternoon the picnic was for-
mally opened witha meeting in the audi-
torinm at which addresses were made by
the officers of the county grange.
Wednesday morning the Knights of the
Golden Eagle of Centre county held
their annual rennion. Quite a large num-
ber were present and gave a parade after
which a meeting was held and several
speeches made by prominent members of
the order from a distance.
Wednesday afternoon the chief speaker
was farmer W. T. Creasy. His address was
a good one and was listeaed to with close
attention. Other speakers were Capt. H.
8. Taylor and J. T. Ailman. Thursday
morning's meeting was addressed by mem-
bers of the grange from a distance aod in
the afternoon 8 Republican blowout was
held, it being Edwin S. Stuart, the Repub-
lican candidate for Governor's first appear-
ance on the campaign platform. There
were quite a number of men on the Repub-
lican band wagon, all under the chaperon-
age of Lewis E. Bitler.

ery offered for sale. Following is a list

THE “SuNsHINERS Took A TRIP.—
The “Sunshiners’” were a jolly stag party
who took a trip to the granger’s picuic
yesterday afternoon and bad supper on top
of Nittany mountain an the way home.
There were just a baker's dozen of them
and their names appeared on the roster as
follows:
Gyp Beezer, captain; Tom Beaver, queen;
Dave Kelley,bouncer ; Harry Garber, piker;
Ed Vensel, swipe, Maurie Jackson, bronco
buster; Bill Lannmer, herse jockey; Tilt
McGinley, tout; Hugh Crider, chauffeur;
Dr. Stewart, secretary of the interior;
T. S. Strawn, spieler, Horton Ray,
inn-taker, and John J. Bower, black-
stone.
Of course they went in a style that amazed
the large gathering of grangers at the park.
The most of the crowd went in Bill Lari-
mer’s gypsy wagon with four horses at-
tached. And in so doing they consulted
their own convenience and comfort. Be-
sides being large and roomy and an easy
rider, the gypsy wagon is fitted up with
beds and bunkers and underneath the
wagon box is a big ice box. This is ased
principally as a sort of refrigerating plant
in which ice is kept for the purpose of
keeping the interior of the wagon at a very
comfortable temperature, and as yesterday
was quite hot the ice box was filled up be-
fore starting.
The caravan left Bellefonte shortly after
one o'clock and made the trip over io ab-
solute safety. The afternoon was spent at
the park and in giving an exhibition of
their turnout until about five o'clock in
the evening, with an amply replenished
ice box, the party started for the top of
Nittany mountain where they partook of a
most delicious supper of fried spring chick-
en, potato chips, sandwiches of various
kinds, pickles and hot coffee, which bad
been by James Summers and
taken along in the food chest.
Of course the entire trip was a most en-
joyable one for all and the only reason the
“Sunshiners’’ did not come home ‘‘Moon-
shiners’’ was because there was no moon to
shine.

ILLEGAL FISHERMEN ARRESTED AND
FINED. —On Tuesday eleven Heward town-
ship residents were arrested and brought
to Bellefonte by a state fish warden on the
charge of illegal fishing. They were J.
Linn Pletcher, John Shay, Irvin Schenck,
Albert Coder, Morris Schenck, Samuel
Bower, T. J. Lucas, Max Worthington,
Oscar Schenck, William Shay and Alonza
Schenck. They were charged with con-
etracting and using fish baskets without a
removable bottom and several of the number
were also charged with constructing wind-
falls in Bald Eagle creek. They were given
a hearing before justice of the peace John
M. Keichline and the evidence against
them was conclusive. Under the tircum-
stances the only thing ’'Squire Keichline
could do was to impose the stipulated fine
and costs. The fine tor building unlawful
fish baskets is $25 for each offense and for
constructing windfalls $50. The fish
warden, however, agreed to accept a total
of $100 fine and costs in settlement, the
latter amounting to $48. The men settled
and went home a bunch of wiser men.

Joux Kacuic MURDERED — Last week's
WATCHMAN gave an account of the finding
VoGT—ALEXANDER.—The many friends
of Miss Emilie Alexander, daughter of the
of the headless and armless body of Jobn | late Dr. J. F. Alexander, of Centre Hall,
Kachic, a brother of George Kachic, lying are vow in a position to extend their con-
alongside the New York Central railroad
gratulations on her marriage to Albert
track at the Clarence station, last Wed- Vogt, of Pittsburg. The ceremony was
nesday morning, and the supposition that performed at Jobnstown at 7:30 o'clock
he bad been struck and run over by a train. |
At the time, however, there was some
suspicion that the man might bave been
the victim of foul play, and later investiga-
tions reveal without any apparent doubt
that Kachic was the victim of a cowardly
murder and his body placed on the railroad
track in the hope of thus effectually de-
stroying all evidence of the foul deed. i
Kachic was last seen aboat 8 o'clock
Tuesday evening when he left bis brother's
botel at Clarence to go to his home about a
mile distant. From that time until the
finding of his headless body the next morn-
ing there is no public knowledge of his
whereabouts or what happened to him.
Whether be was the victim of a vendetta
or whether he was murdered for the por.
pose of robbery is unknown.
The tact of the murder was disclosed at
the coroner's inquest and postmortem ex-
amivation on Friday when it was found
that the man had been stabbed in the neck |
three or four times with a stilleto, one sgab
of which almost severed the jugular vein. |
From the course of the woannds the assassin |
evidently struck the foul blows from be-
hind his victim. The dnctors also gave it |
ae their opinion that the man was dead
when placed on the railroad track.
The authorities will make a thorough
investigation of the case, though so far
committed the crime. The supposition is,
however, that the murderer, whoever be
was, knew Kachic was at the Clarence
hotel on Tuesday evening, and knowing
the way he would go home lay in wait for
him and as be passed, sneaked up behind
and dealt the death blows. Then when
satisfied he would not be discovered placed
the body on the railroad so that a passing
train would completely sever the bead, thus
hoping to destroy the evidence of the crime.
In this, however, be was not wholly snc-
cessful.
Kachic, who was a married man with |
children, was well-to do for a miner; was
of a rather inoffensive character and so far as
known, bad not ap enemy in the Snow Shoe
regions, a fact which renders his marder
all the more mysterions.

GooD ROADS ASSOCIATION .—A meeting
of horsemen, auntomobilists and citizens
generally was held in W. Harrison
Walker's office, Monday night, and
an organization known as the Good
Roads Association of Centre county was
perfected by electing DeLaun G. Stewart |
president and J. Harris Hoy secretary.
The purpose of the organization is primari-
ly the improvement of the county roads: |
First, in seeing that supervisors do their
full duty, as required by the law, in keep-
ing the roads clear of loose stones; and
second, in furthering the movement in
favor of the building of state roads or
highways.
The good roads question is one tbat bas
never been taken up to any great extent
by the supervisors or taxpayers of Centre
county. As a general thing the road-
makers bave been satisfied to put a lot of
very coarsely broken stone with a shallow
covering of dirt in the middle of the road,
the resnlt being that it would remain that
way for months as every driver of a vebi-
cle would go around it. The fact cannot
help but be admitted that this is the crod-
est way possible for repairing roads and
now, when he State has taken the good
roads matter in bands and will bear a por-
tion of the burden of building what will
not only be a permanent highway but
what will prove one of the greatest bless-
ings to every man who drives a vehicle.
even if it is only a wheelbarrow, the taxpay-
ers of Centre county should lose no time
in availing themselves of the opportunity
and as fast as possible take advantage of
the state highways aot.
To this end the Good Roads Association
of Centre county has been organized and
every farmer, liveryman and automobile
owner in the county should become a
member and join in the movement for
good roads.
THE CHILDREN’S HOME SoCIETY.—Miss
Nellie Caldwell, district missionary of the
Children’s Home Society, of Pennsylvania,
with headquarters in Pittsburg, was in
Bellefonte this week and is desirous of se.
curing homeless or neglected children. Any
person knowing of any such can com-
munisate with her by addressing her at
719 Ferguson block, Fourth avenue, Pitts-
burg. The Children’s Home society must
not be conflicted with the Children’s Aid
society. The latter is entitled to a certain
amount of help each year from the State
while the former is entirely self-sustaining:
Since 1894 over eight hundred children
have been recorded by petition, over six
hundred are now under supervision and
over fifty thousand dollars have been re-
ceived avd dishursed.

MiILLER—IBWIN.—It is not very often
that two youog people, especially when
they are as popular as the two in this in-
stance, can fool their friends by keeping
the date of their marriage so quiet that no
one will know of the event until it bas
taken place. But that is just what bap-
pened in the wedding of George H. Miller
and Miss Kathryn M. Irwin, daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. Robert Irwin.
While the bappy consummation bad
been aoticipated for some time by their
many friends the affair was so secretly
planned that very few were wise until af-
