Kx1onaTs OF THE MaccABEES—Wednes-
day evening the Bellefonte Tent, Knights
of the Maccabees held their third meeting,
which proved an unusually interesting
one. A class of about twenty-five new
members were initiated into the mysteries
of the order after which a visiting team of
prominent Knights gave instruction in
degree work. The visitors were J.T.
Momanx, a promivent theatrical man of
Pittsburg, as chaplain; T. 8. McGonuell,
of Pittsburg, as Gen. Appelles; 8.8. Fontz,
of Reading, as the King; Dr. I. W. Marstel-

Judas, and deputy great commander Harry

the goard.

H. C. Quigley and Col. H. 8. Taylor. The
Bellefonte Tent now has a membership list
of one hundred and forty and is the largest
tent ever instituted in the State of Penn-
sylvania. And for this the bulk of the
credit belongs to Mr. Phillips who, as an
organizer, certainly bas no peer. And he
feels confident that before he leaves Belle-
fonte he will be able to run the member-
ship list up to not less than one hundred
and fifty, and perhaps ten or twenty more.

sented Joho Sourbeck Jr., with a hand-
some gold watch as a recognition of valua-
ble services rendered and Dr. Locke fora
number of the members of the Tent pre-

grangers picnic and was brought to the
Bellefonte hospital for treatment. Sunday
ber husband, children and two friends in
Milesburg started from there in Baoms
carriage to come to Bellefonte to see Mrs.
Hall. On the way they met George W,
Strong and George A. Fill, of Tyrone, in
an automobile. The horses frightened at
the machine brcke the carriage and ran
away. Richard Hall was thrown out and
bad two ribs broken as well as being in-
jured inteinally. Stiong and Gill were
arrested and on Wednesday morning were
given a hearing before Squire John M.
Keichline. The defendants testiled that
they not only slowed up but practically
stopped their machine while the proseco-
tors swore that they did not slacken their
speed. Strong and Gill were both fined
$25 and costs. The case will be carried
into court and a civil case for damages will
also be brought against the Tyroners.

THAT YOUNG PEOPLE'S EXHIBIT.—From
all indications the young peoples exhibit
at the Centre county fair week after next
will he one of the most interesting, if not
one of the biggest, of any line entered. Al-
ready applications for space in the exhibi-
tion building are coming in so rapidly that
the management have decided to make a
separate place for the [fruit exhibit by
erecting a big tent near the main building.
This will give more room in the building
for the other exhibits, and it is now pretty
certain tbat the youog people's exhibit
will take up considerable space. Remem-
ber every boy or girl in Centre county, as
well as young men and women, are urged
to contribute something to this exhibit.
The choice is left entirely to yourself so
that it should he a comparatively easy
matter to bring at least one or more arti-
cles. Make this one of the leading exhib-
ita.

chestra, and a wealth of scenery and me-
chanical effects. The company travels in
its own private Pullman cars and gives a
grand street parade every morning.
“‘Queen of the Arena’’ tells a very pretty
story and besides gives a full circus per-
formance including bareback riders, clown,

and was practically all the money he bad.
He has no suspicion who the thieves were.

that he may round out the century mark
without any perceptible physical or mental
deterioration.

—— News was received yesterday of New
Orleans being the centre of a terrific storm
and probable tidal wave. The last news
received was that the streets of the city
were under ten feet of water. Since that
all communication bas been severed and
there is no knowledge how great the dam-
age is, but it is feared that there has been
great loss of life and destruction of prop-
erty.

— If reports count for anything there
will be more mares and colts at the fair
pext month than have ever been seen to-
gether at one time. Some of them are fine
ones and the horsemen are beginning to
bestir themselves. Col. John A. Wood-
ward, of Howard, has one he is going to
exhibit and the Colonel says if there is an-
other in the county tbat can beat it he
would like to see it.

—— William A. Lyon is nursing quite a
sore finger just now. Last week he out
himself ever so slightly. He thooght noth-
ing of it at the time and Monday he felt a
slight pain that he thought was rheam-
atism. On Tuesday tbe pain was not only
worse but his entire arm seemed to be al-
fected. He then went to a physician who
promptly cut the finger open and cauterized
it, as the symptoms were very much like
those of block poisoning.

—— Residents of Tyrone are endeavoring
to have a site near that town selected for
the grounds for the encampment of the
Second Brigade, National Guard of Penn-
sylvania, next summer. The National
Guard has not camped in that section since
it was at Lewistown in 1896. Lieutenant
Zentmyer, quartermaster of the Sheridan
Troop, is active in the movement for a Ty-
rone site. General John A. Wiley, with
gome members of his staff, may visit Ty-
rone.
—— Robert Woodring, who last spring
purchased the Aaron Williams property on
the corner of Howard and Ridge streets,
has been making some extensive improve-
mente. He has had the house moved from
the corner so that there is a nice yard in
front and on the Ridge street side. He
also built a new kitchen and made many
repairs, while it is his intention some time
in the near future to case the entire house
with brick, which, when completed, will
make as pice a home as there is on How-
ard street.

——Seven year old Margaret Finnegan,
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Stephen Finne-
gan, was the victim of a very painful acei-
dent about 7 o’clook last Friday evening.
With a number of other children she was
playing around the soldier's monument in
front of the court house when one of the
heavy bronze plates containing the soldier's
names fell ont striking herin the face and
knocking ber down. Linn McGinley, who
was nearby, picked the little gir! ap, car-
ried her home and summoned a doctor. An
examination disclosed the fact that two of
her lower front teeth had been driven
down in the jaw bone their full depth while
the child’s face was badly cut and bruised.
Fortunately no bones were broken or no
fatal injury inflicted.

~-—Bellefonte automobilists, and for
that matter machine owners all over the
country, constantly complain because of the
tacks, nails, broken glass, etc., which are
either carelessly or maliciously thrown on
streets and public roads with the result
that more than one tire is thereby puno-
tured that otherwise would not be, as au-
tomobile tires are great pickers up of any-
thing of the kind they happen to ran over.
Bat there is at least one Bellefonter who
has a jewel in his machine—or rather, had
a jewel on his machine —for after returning
trom a few miles spin the other night he
saw something glittering on his tire and
picking it off found a solid gold pin valued
at from twenty-five to fifty dollars. He is
pow looking for the owner and in the
meantime he thoroughly examines his tires
every time he returns home from a trip in
the expectation of some of these days find-
ing a genuine diamond sticking in the rab.

HUNTING SEAsoX DRAWING NEAR.—
Of course every up-to-date sportsman
knows just as well as we can tell him that
the bunting season will soon be at hand;
in fact, that the squirrel and woodcock
season will open next Monday, and natur-
ally all are wondering just how plenty
game will be this season. As to squirrel,
they have been reported quite plentiful
in some portions of the county, and
should be quite numerous during the en-
tire open season, as the nut crop is report
one of the best this year for some time.
Woodcock were pever very plentiful in
Centre county but hunters who prefer such
sport ought to find a good day’s amusement
io the low lands of Bald Eagle valley.
Ol course when the pheasant, wild tar-
key and rabbit seasons open huoters will
likely bave many a good shot and come
home with more than one full game hag,
as all three are said to be plentiful this
season. But the crowning sport of all will
be when the deer seasod opens on Novem-
ber 15th. Woodemen in the mountains
report deer exceptionally plentiful and
bunting parties are already reorganiz-
ing and getting their membership in line
for a two week’s outing. All in all Cen.
tre county nimrode have reason to feel en-
couraged over the outlook for a very suc-
cessful season.

of Centre and Clearfield, held in Tyrone
on Monday, George M. Dimeling, of Clear-

ly discussed from every possible stand point
and at five o'clock a ballot was taken
which was unanimous for Dimeling and
