fs The Caplto]l Investigation to Prove
a Fallure,
(Continued from page 1)
convection with reports frequently heard,
moreover, that one or two of the least im-
portant of the looters are to be prosecated
and the others, far more culpable, to es-
cape absolutely, it borrows sinister signifi-
cance and deserves the most careful scruti-
ny. The punishment of Huston who is
more fool than knave and of Shumaker
who is more stupid than criminal will not
fulfill the requirements of justice if such
deliberate offenders against official morals
as Pennypacker are allowed to go free.
REASONS FOR THE TARDINESS,
The advantage of delay to both the po-
litical machine and the grafters is obvious.
Time and tide wait for no man and the
statute of limitations never stands still.
Some of the crimes are already perilously
close to the limit and a few months wasted
in the preparation of indictments will guar-
aatee immunity from prosecution. On the
other band such delay as would put the
beginning of legal proceedings within a
brief period of the election would afford
the machine opportunity to make a pyro-
technic pretense of prosecuting the rascals
before the event and give them a lovely
‘immunity bath’ afterward.
In fact this is believed to be the infla-
encing cause of the tardiness on the part of
the investigating commission. Several
weeks will be consumed in the criminal
trial of the offenders and by arraigning
those who have been chosen for the sacri-
fice a short time before the election the
party touters and stump orators will be
able to ‘‘point with pride’ to the vigor
and relentlessness with which the machine
brings its criminals to judgment. If the
ple are fooled, as they were in the State
Pe fall and in Philadelphia in February,
by the election of the Republican candi-
date for Treasurer, the prosecations can be
dropped immediately afterward, at least so
far as the important crimivals are concern.
ed
The way to present this result is to de-
feat the Republican candidate for Treasur-
er and elect his capable and determined au-
tagonist, John G. Harman. The scheme
is a criminal conspiracy and its success will
restore the iniquities of the past as certain
as day follows night. On the other band
the election of Mr. Harman will not only
arantee the punishment of those who
a already offended hat will put an end
to similar corruption for years to come.
Mr. Harman is a capable and courageovs
lawyer. With him in the office no special
counsel will be needed hy the State for he
bas the ability to take care of the interest
of the people as well as the inclination.
G. D. H
Oar editorial brother, R. M. Reed, of the
Houtzdale Observer, is putting ap a good
fight for the election as Register and Re-
corder of Clearfield county on the Demo-
cratic ticket, and he deserves to win, Not
alone because he is a newspaper man but
becanse he is a good, clean candidate and a
man well qualified to fill the position. As
evidence of how his candidacy is viewed
the Coalport Standard says :
R. M. Reed, the Democratic candidate for
register and recorder, was a resident at one
time of Coalport, and while here made many
warm friends. He is known te be a young
man in every way competent to fill the office
he is seeking, and would make an accom-
modating as well as an eflicient official. Mr.
Reed has always resided in the county and
never asked for a county office. For
the past fifteen years he has been a resident
of Houtzdale, where he has been elected to
various important borough offices, and at the
present time he is serving his fourth year as
member of the hoard of education. Voter,
you will make no mistake by deciding to
vote for R. M. Reed on November 5th for the
office of register and recorder. He will un-
testionabls fill the important place to the
possible interests of the taxpayers of the
county at large.
~The people’ of Philadelphia will
hardly be fooled by the respectability of
the Republican machine candidate for
State Treasarer. The Republican machine
candidate for Mayor of that city last win-
ter had quite as good a character but what
he is doing to the public now is plenty.

—— On Monday evening anumber of
Bellefonte automobile owners held a meet-
ing to discuss the advisability of organizing
a company to he known as the Bellefonte
Garage company, the purpose being to
either secure some suitable building, or
have a new one built, to be used as a garage
for the storing and repairing of their ma-
chines. The only definite action taken
was the appointment of a committee to in-
quire more thoroughly into the situation,
and especially in regard to securinga
building or having one built especially
for garage purposes, and report ata meet-
fog to beheld in the near future. The
organization of such a oco-partnership or
garage company would not only enable
those interested to bave their cars receive
the best of attention but would enable
them to secure all repairs at the regular
trade discount price,

——Two men representing ‘‘Moxie,”’ the
famous summer drink, passed through
Bellefonte on Tuesday in a small steamer
that was evidently built by the Stanley
people as its model was very much like the
Stanley steamers in use in Bellefonte, but
it was so completely covered, both fore,
alt, top and sides, with the word Moxie in
big golden letters that there was badly
room for any other name on it.

into squads and stationed at various points
throughout the district of five counties,
one squad to he located in Bellefonte. The

—— About thirty of their friends gave
Mr. and Mrs. John Lambert, of Quaker
Hill, the biggest surprise in their life on
Wednesday evening when they gathered at
their home to belp them celebrate their
birthdaye, it being both their anniver-
saries. Neither one had the least idea that
there was anything doing and when
the crowd swooped down upon them they
were almost rendered speechless. Of
course, it finally proved a very jolly even-
ing for all. There were choice refresh-
ments and everything to make the time
pass very pleasantly. Mr. and Mrs. Lam-
bert were the recipient of quite a lot of
very useful remembrances.

-—On Sunday morning William F.
Dunning officiated the last time as organist
in the Methodist church in this place.
When be came to Bellefonte it was only
with the expectation of remaining six
months, though he later consented to
lengthen his stay to eight months. Until
avother organist can be secured, or for the
next six weeks or two months Mrs. Miller,
nee Miss Gussie Smith, will officiate as
organist. Mr. Dunning left Bellefonte on
Sunday afternoon and went to his parents
home at Osceola Mille, From there he
expects to go to Harrisburg to continue
his studies in music. At the same time he
has an offer from two Harrisburg churches
to become their organist hut bas not yet
decided which one he wiil accept.

——About a week ago word was received
in Bellefonte that ‘‘Bucky’’ Bathurst, who
three years ago was implicated in breaking
into the Bush house bar room and stealing
a quantity of liquor, was out in the vicin-
ity of Pittsburg. Armed with a warrant
for his arrest sheriff Kline went ont and
had no trouble locating him in a town
about thirty miles north of the Smoky city.
When told that he was wanted ‘‘Bucky’’
made no resistance, though later he de-
plored the fact that he would be compelled
to stand trial and suffer the consequences
of his crime. He was brought to Belle-
fonte and placed in jail, being unable up
to this writing to get anybody to go on
his bail bond. For the past year or so
Bathurst has been working on the railroad
and had a good job, making from eighty to
oue hundred dollars a month, and was well
liked by his employers and co-laborers.

~Sabseribe for the WATCHMAN,
A
WiLL BEcoME AN EARL AND GET Bic
FORTUNE ?—A year or more ago the
WATCHMAN published a story in effect
that Dwight [.. Bathurst,clerk in the post-
office at Pueblo, Col., and a son of Law-
rence Bathurst, formerly of this county,
was on his way to Earope to institute pro-
ceedings to secure the title of an earl as
well as the vast estates of the earldom
which be claimed were due him by right
of legal descent. Prior to going abroad
Mr. Bathorst was in communication with
the descendants of the Bathurst family in
this county, many of whom live in the
vicinity of Curtin, and of course his mis-
sion was to secure the fortane, estimated
at $76,000,000, for all the Bathuist heirs
io this country.
Now comes the amazing information
—amaziog if true—in a dispateh from
Pueblo that Bathurst is ieally to be-
come an earl and secure the vast estates,
That the proofs which he presented to the
Eoglish authorities of his genealogy and
right of title have been accepted by them
as final and steps will be taken to enthione
bim in his rightfal possessions. The Pueblo
man is now on his way to Eorope to re-
ceive his crown, says the dispatoh.
This will all Le very interesting to the
hundreds of heirs of the Bathurst
family, bust it would be well for
them not to begin making plaus as to how
to spend the money they will receive.
Every year or so some family in the United
States springs a story of a hig fortune
awaiting them in England bat they always
prove mythical, or at least impossible to
wet, and we p:efer to see Mr. Batbarst in
his earldom toga to takiog it for granted
that he is sure of getting there. The pres-
ent earl of Bathurst got his title as well
ad the estates after it was believed that
| Sir Fraveis Bathurst, the direct descend-
ant, bad died in Georgia, by a special act
of Parliament and now to dispossess him
and give Dwight k Bathurst the earldom
would require another special act of Parlia-
ment, and that isa thing not easy to ob-
tain.

THE FUTURE OF STATE COLLEGE.—
When we speak of the future of State Col-
lege we do not mean The Pennsylvania
State College, that high-class institution of
learning, bat the borough of State College,
which naturally will owe all its futare to
the continued growth, progression, and
high standing of the former. And that
the people of Centre county, men who have
| money to invest and wvaturally desire to
| invest in it the safest and best paying way,
are turning toward State College, is evi-
for its future.
ing being doue by the College proper, there
are from ten to a dozen dwelling houses
being erected in the horough by private in-
dividuals. And they are not cheap houses,
as practically all of the buildings are of
brick and will cost anywhere from three to
twelve thousand dollars. Probably the
largest and most expensive honse being
erected is one hy James Lytle, which will
have twenty-two rooms and will cost close |
to twelve thousand dollars. J. C. Meyer,
of this place, is erecting a house there that
will cost in the neighborhood of seven
thousand dollars while there are a number
which will cost four and five thousand.
This, in fact, is on a par if vot in excess of
values of real estate in Bellefonte, and it
all shows unmistakably that the investors
look for a continned growth at State Col-
lege.

ForMER CENTRE Cousty Boy GETS
Goon JoB.—Everybody in Centre county
remembers T. P. Rynder, who back in the
eighties figured conspicuously in politics
asa leader in the old Greenback, Union
Labor and Socialist parties respectively
while he lived in Mileshurg. Failing to
secure what he considered a just recogni-
tion of his political aspirations bere he
moved to Altooua and later to Erie where
he now lives. However it is not of him
but his son, R. Dean Rynder, we bare to
tell. The boy was born in 1885 and was
educated in the Erie schools, graduating
from the High school in that city in 1808,
Afterwards he took special courses in other
institutions, one of which was the study of
languages, aod particularly the Spanish
language.
About the year 1900 he entered the em-
ploy of the Pennsylvania railroad company
as a clerk in the offices at Erie and was
later transferred to the Philadelphia offices.
Several years ago he severed his connec-
tion with the railroad company and went
to Washington where he entered the sery-
ice of the government. So efficient did
he prove that he was recently appointed
private secretary to chairman Knapp, of
the interstate commerce commission ,at a
salary of $2,000 per year ; and thus the son
has secured the recognition and employ-
ment by the government that the father
strove so assiduonsly though hopelessly to
obtain.

it communicated to the building. Another

instrument off the wall and almost across
the room; but fortunately did not set fire
to the building.

REGARDING THE NEW BickrorDp FIRE
Brick CoMpaNY.—Several weeks ago the
Warcasmax published an item stating
that the new Bickford Fire Brick company
bad purchased the plant of the defanct
Carwensville Fire Brick company, at Car-
wensville, and would make thit the base
of their operations instead of buildiog a
new plant at DuBois as was origivally in-
tended. The Bickford people are pow at
work remodeling the Carwensville plant
so that they will increase the output of
same about twenty thousand brick a day
and will be able to do this with less labor
aod less expense thau was connected with
the original operation of the plant.
They were very fortunate in (their
purchase of the Corwensville works,
The plant is practically new and in ex-
cellent coudition, and is abous four
miles neater their clay lands than a plant
at DaBois woald bave been. In addition
to this fact they secured with their pur-
chase extensive clay miuves already opened
up, coal mines already developed and with.
in easy access and twenty thousand fire
brick ready for the market ; with cars and
a full equipment of machinery necessary
for operating the works,
The remodeling of the plant is being
pushed as fast as possible and it is expeet-
ed that everything will be in shape to put
it in operation rome time toward the last
of this month. The Bickford company is
the one organized throogh the instrumen-
tality of J. C. Rowe and J. C. Meyer, of |
this place, and in which quite a number of |
Bellefonte people are stockholders, |
That the Carwensville plant was a mon- |
ey maker was shown by the fact that after |
the old company went into the hands of a
receiver, it was operated for five months
under the management of a committee of
experienced men and in thas period cleared
thirty-eight thousand dollars. With the
new and improved machinery the Bickford
company is installing the plant should
prove a big money maker, a fact the stock-
holders will be glad to learn.

will be in full charge. The new tennis
court and new campus will become the
play ground of this department. This
agement and marks a big stride forward in
It should
also result in encouraging many new pu-
pils to enter the primary department.
The large room in the main building
heretofore occupied hy the primary de-
partment will become the class room for
the intermediate and academic grades in
Eoglish. One of the best lady teachers of
Eoglish that can be secured will bave
charge of the young ladies room and all
work ahove the B intermediate grade. The
room occupied last year by the young la-
dies as their assembly room will be used
this year as a class room only.

A Big Hay Cror.—Capt. W. C. Patter-
son, superintendent of the farms of the
School of Agriculture and Experiment Sta-
tion at The Pennsylvania State College,
bas gained considerable fame for kis good
farming. The crops raised on the college
and station farms from year to year have
been the admiration of all who have seen
them. This season at one cutting twenty-
six large loads of timothy hay were barvest-
ed from six measured actes. Several of the
loads were weighed and each weighed over
one ton. A represntative area was weighed
separately and indicated a yield at the rate
of 5 tons and 189 pounds of hay per acre.
Men of experience pronounce this the fin-
est crop of hay they have ever seen.

~The Public Ledger of Philadelphia is
usually conceded to be the most conserva

city, but there was nothing conservative
or restrioted about the size of it during the
week the Elks held high carnival in that

page publication, but for each day of the
entire week it averaged 32} pages of live,
interesting matter,—making a total of 194
pages for the six days, and most of which

SPICHER — HECKMAN. — An uopreten-
tious hut pretty wedding took place at the
home of Mr. and Mrs. Daniel Heckman, on
east Lamb street, Wednesday morning,
when their daughter, Miss Rebecca Heck-
may, was united in marriage to Calvin
Spicher, of Wilkinsburg, but formerly of

Ouly the immediate members of the two
families were present to witness the cere.
mony, which took place at 11 o'clock and

tendants were Miss Minnie Cole, as brides-
maid, and William Sholl, of Jersey City,
N.J., as best man. Following the cere-
mony a delicious wedding breakfast was
