POINTING A USEFUL MORAL. 1 am discussing this question now, not for the purposes of argumentation or filling space, but with the idea of pointing a use- fol moral. The good effect of minority representation on the fiscal hoards of the State has been shown by Mr. Berry's ex- posure of the graft in the construction of the capitol. The impossibility of prevent. ing graft when the 1 boards are com- posed entirely of men of the same party is roved by the delinquencies of Samuel W. Poh William P. Snyder and the , weakness of the Republican members of the Investigating Commission. That is to say the records of these events demonstrate that there must be a member of the mwi- nority party present to secure honest pub- lic service. Nobody, so far as I know is inclined to uestion the personal integrity of the Ma- chine Republican candidate for State Treas- urer, though his legislative record is very valoerable. Bat he is neither more hon- est nor more courageous than Governor Pennypacker who prostituted himself to the fcll measure of his opportunities. Quay knew Pennypacker and Penrose knows the man he has chosen to fool the people. A year ago the machine manages lacked confidence. If it had been possible then the restoration of the gang in Phila- delphia wouldn't bave been undertaken. But the Mayor of that city feels safe now in condemning fidelity to the people re- warding service to the machine. HARMAN THE EQUAL OF BERRY. The good effect of minority representa. tion baving been thus clearly shown, why should the people of Pennsylvania vote to discontinue it and restore the old methods and iguities? The election of the wa. chine Republican candidate for State Treas- urer this year will make the Board of Public Grounds and Baildings and that of Revenue Commissioners unanimvusly Re- publican. The election of the Democratic candidate, John G. Harman, will preserve the present statns and put in Mr. Berry's place a man who is his equal in every re- spect. Mr. Harman bas ability of the bighest order avd courage of the inflexible type. Why not vote for him, therefore, and complete the reforms which Berry be- gun ? - G. D. H.

S—— A ——— ——An ice cream and cake festival will be held by the Salvation Army in their barracks over the Centre county bank to- tery. | f Fh ih morrow evening. of the borough of State College are some- | what worked up over the location of a pro- | posed branch of the Lewisburg and Tyrone i railroad from Lemont to State College. It | will be remembered that a month ago the | WATCHMAN published an item relative to | several railroad men with Gen. Beaver and | vice president J. P. Welsh going over the | route of the old and original survey of the | Lewisburg and Tyrone railroad from Le- | mont to Fairbrook, and at the time it wae | reported that the railroad company was | strongly considering the proposition to | build the connecting link, especially as the | college authorities have for some time past | been endeavoring to secure a direct outlet | over the Lewisburg and Tyrone. i Now it is reported on pretty reliable au- | thority that the railroad company bas | agreed to build the line as far as State Col- | lege or, in other words, build a branch into | the College, providing the college authori- | ties and residents of that borough will | grant them the free right-of-way iuto and | through the borough as far as the present | Bellefonte Central depot, which then conld i be made a union depot and thus save con- | siderable expense. To do this it would be necessary to run the road along on the | edge of the campus next the wain street of | the borovgh and past the big eogineering | building. The railroad company agree to | make the roadbed not only dust proof but | ornymental. [It will be built as mach as possible on grade aud will be tally bal- | lasted with grooud limestone, while the line is to be eodded to within eighteen or twenty inches of the line of ties. With these stipulations the college authorities are inclined to agree but the residents of the town are kicking. They do not want | a railroad train puffing along in front of | their stores and residences day after day, with the consequent soot aud smoke. And in addition, would most likely have their observation of the college and campus ob- soured at least part of the time by freight cars which would most likely be shifted on to the siding. Citizens of the College want the road built on the original survey, which is five hundred feet back of the Col- lege, then, by a horseshoe curve, enter the present Bzllefonte Central depot from the west. This would not only make the road more expensive to build hut would aleo cost more for the right of way. Just how the campaign will end is bard to tell, inasmuch as everybody is united in wanting the road built. There is no docbt but that a branch from Lemont to the Col- lege would be a convenience in the matter of freight shipments, but as long as the road is not to be built through to connect with the Tyrone end it would bardly prove a very great boon so far as passenger travel is concerned. oe BabLy HURT IN AUTOMOBILE Accl- DENT.——The first real serious automobile accident that bas occurred in Centre county since the machines have been introduced here occurred last Saturday afternoon and asa resuit Roy Gentzei, son of Mr. and Mrs. G. Perry Gentzel, of Spring township, now lies in the Bellefonte hospital witha broken leg, one ear badly torn and innum- erable contusions and bruises on various parts of his body. The young man is about twenty-one years of age and has been clerking in the State College bank. His brother, Homer Gentzel, is employed at the engineering building at the College and at the same time has charge of Prof. John Price Jack- son's machine, a Knox steamer. Saturday alternoon the Gentzel brothers with Mr. Thompson and little daughter lefs the College tocome to Bellefonte. They had no: gone far from the College when the steering gear of the machine broke. Roy Gentzel jumped out, fell down and was tun over before his brother, who was at the throttle, could stop the machine. None of the other occupants jumped and none of them were injured. Young Gentzel was picked up and taken back to the College where his injuries were temporarily attended to, after which he was brought to Bellefonte on the evening train over the Bellefonte Ceatral and taken to the hospital, where his broken leg was set and he was viven.every attention pos- sible. His worst injury is a deep gash or hole gouged in the legabove the knee and this may prove more serious than all the rest, though at this time he is getting along as well as can be expected. Up to this time there has been no reason- able explanation as to the cause of the acci- dent to the machine. Of course it was purchased by Prof. Jackson second-hand, but even then was in good condition and when the accident occurred the men were going only ata moderate rate of speed. The gear evidently was weakened by a flaw that wae not discernible. oe NEELY—SANDERSON—Charles W. Neely and Miss Anua M. Sanderson, both of Pitts- burg, came to Bellefonte on Wednesday of last week and that evening were united in marriage at the home of Mis. Catharine Kline, on east Curtin street, by Rev. F. W. Barry, pastor of the Lutheran church. Though Mr. Neely is now employed as an inepeotor for the Hammar Coupler company both he and his bride are evangelistic workers, and it is their intention to equip themselves for missionary work in foreign fields. A ARDELL LUMBER COMPANY PLANT SoLp.—The plant of the Ardell Lumber company was sold at public sale on Wed- nesday forenoon and was purchased by Edward L. Hoy, the price paid being $5, 470, which includes only the personal property and good will, the real estate not being subject to sale. It is the purpose of Mr. Hoy to operate the plant upon a big- | a fence corner. Pre——— Motor NEws AND Notes. —The latest mobile owners is Col. H. 8. Taylor, who is now the possessor of a 1903 model twenty horse power Winton. The machine wae secured —mind you secured, as the colonel says it didn’t cost him adollar—at Jersey Shore and was brought to Bellefonte with Rober: H. Hunter at the wheel last Friday. It is a big red machinoe, the original cost of which was three thousand dollars and, thongh it is an old model itis practically a new machine, as it bas not bsen run over three hundred miles. The colonel has been gettiog himself in shape this week to tackle it and it will only he a question of afew days until he will he spinning around the town and throogh the country with the best of them. About a month ago the Tyrone Motor clab purchased a Rapid sightseer, built some what on the stsle of a huge platform wagon with a top and steps leading up to the four seats. It bas a twenty-four horse power, two cy livder motor, and is capable of developing a speed of eighteen miles an hour. It i= used hy the owners as a sort of back around Tyrone and on Sanday a party of Tyroners made the trip to Bellefoute, had dinner at the Brockerhoff house and re- tarned home in the afternoon. In the party were Loyd Gates, Brace Salsbury, J. C. Packer, I. L. Gates, G. A. Toger, Earl Funk, W. T. Wrye, Harry Kouffer, Blair Fisher, Gottleib Weaver, C. E. Keefer and A. W. Potts, practically all of them em- ployees of the Pennsylvania railroad com- pany. On Monday evening Howard Best left the Country club in “Old Liz," John Por ter Lyon's Buick, to bring a load of gentle- men to Bellefonte. He had gone only a short distance and was begining to ges np speed when ove of the rear wheels on the machine came off and the axle dropped to the ground with a thud. Fortunately the machine was stopped before any damage was done, but it took some time to find the wheel which bad rolled some distance into The breaking of a pin which held the burr in place was the cause of the accident. Saturday night T. B. Buddinger was coming up Bald Eagle in his Mcdel D Fravkliu and when about midway between Cartio station and Milesburg the machine stopped and it was considerable after mid- night when they were brought to Bellefonte hy one of John Porter Lyon's men. Hugh N. Crider on Sunday took John McCoy to Penn Cave and on their retarn trip made the record run home in forty-five minutes. Norman Thompson, who works at the Lyon garage, got his license on Saturday night and a bappier person could not be found. CPO on Last FRIDAY MORNING'S STORM— This summer has been noted for the frequency of hard rain storme, with plenty of thunder and lightning, and last Friday morning's storm was about one of the hardest. It oo- curred early in the morning, between seven and eight o'clock. While the volume of rain which fell at this place was not so great, it was a record-breaker down Penns- valley where, it is asserted on good au- thority, the rainfall was over two inches. The thunder and lightning accompanying the storm was terrific. In this place there was one exceptionally severe stroke of lightning at just about eight o'clock. The WATCHMAN force was in the press room at the time and the lightning muss have struck quite close, as the flash, in the shape of a hall of fire, ran along the wires the entire length of the room, hut fortn- nately nobody in the room was affected by it. Either the same stroke or another one struck Lingle's foundry and while no dam- age was done the building four boys were knocked down and one of the number, Howard Casper, who was working on brass fittings, was go badly stunned that he was taken to a doctor. The same morning lightning struck the large barn on the John Hamilton farm near State College setting it on fire, with the result that the huilding was burned to the ground, together with all its contents. The farm was tenanted by John Spicher Jr.,and he was the heaviest loser, as one colt, four hogs, eight bundred dozen of wheat and his entire hay crop were de- stroyed, and he had nota cent of insur. ance. The barn was insured so that Mr. Hamilton’s loss is small. Goop MILK AND CREAM.—On July 206th pure food agent H. M. Banzhoff was in Bellefonte and purchased samples of milk and cream from the dairymen who serve the people of the town. Six samples of milk and four of cream were secured and in every case but one the samples were found to exceed the rating of ‘“‘ordinary guality,” and in most of the cases to be even better than the United States stand- ard. One of the samples purchased was found to be entirely too low in butter fat and it is likely that James Foust, the pure food commissioner, of Harrisburg, will make a trip to Bellefonte in the near fu- ture and make an investigation, and if the conditions warrant it may institute pro- ceedings against the dairyman. In the meantime, that the consumers in Belle. foute may know just what they are getting when they buy milk and cream from their dairyman we publish the following analy- sis as made by Dr. William Frear, of The Pennsylvania State College, and chemist for the pure food department. ger scale than it has been for some time.

Hortle Crean 18.50 : OLD ‘‘Has BeeNs” Pray Bann.—The acquieition to the ranks of Bellefonte auto- patbalogical department of the Bellefonte boepital is just $62.25 richer becanse enough of fans at twenty-five cents a bead wens ous to Meadow-brook park last Friday after- noon to see a lot of old ‘‘has beens’ show off iu a game of ball between the profes- sioual and business men of the town ; and the exhibition wasn’t such a poor one, either—considering. The score was 16 to 11 in favor of the business men, but even this fact did not satisfy Dr. Feids that the latter could beat the professionals and he bas challenged thew to play another game ; providing, (and the proviso means a whole lot) that they will eliminate from their line-up Irwin, Otto, Gepbart and Crider. Of conrse the challenge bas not yet been accepted nor is is likely to be with the proviso clause inserted. But to retarn to the game. Dr. Dale pitched for the professionals and the way he started ont showed that he bad not for- gotten some of the twisters he used when captain of the Gettysburg college team, but by the time be bad reached the last inning bis motor bad grown very weak. Locke played an admirable game at first. That is, he played with military precision avd as little violent exercise as possible. As a stick artist he and Harry Keller were the stars on their side, the latter proving quite a base runner, also. Jobn Cartin and Harry Otto pitched for the business men and Rash Irwin caught. Druggist Krumrine played first and from the way he did it led a person to think it was the first time he did it. Linn Me- Ginley held down the second bag and as a public demonstration that he bad not for- gotten the ethics of the game so far as stop- ping the ball at all hazards is concerned, he stopped one with his chin ; and be caught his mao at first, too. Cassidy was station- ed away out in right field where there was nothing to do and he followed his job even when at the bat. Ol course we would like to give each one of the players individual mention accord- ing to their desserts, but time and space will not permit. Taken all in all it was a two hours pleasant diversion and the best part of the game was the fact that there was only one kick against the decisions of the umpires, George Knisely and Dr. Har- ris, and at no time in the game was the latter obliged to get up out of the chair he occuped at first base. ee Next TurspAY’s Bia Business MEN'S P1cN1c.—The various committe es appoint- ed to arrange for the eleventh annual pie- nic of the Centre and Clinton counties Bus- iness Men’s Picnic association have prac- tically completed every detail and all that is wanted now to make this year's gather- ing one of the most successful ever held is fine weather next Tuesday, August 20th, the date of the gathering. The program has been completed and the various events are as follows : Free danc- ing ; inter-county shooting contest ; lawn tennis contest ; band concerts—the famous Repasz (or Twelfth Regiment band of Wil- liamsport, ) and graud chotus of several thousand voices singing national hymus. In the afterncon there will he a novel and laogbable entertainment by the ex- ecutive committee. While we are not in- formed as to the exact nature of this enter- tainment, we are assared that it alone will be fally worth spending the whole day at the grounds. The members of the com- mittee are all good actors and any enter- tainment they elect to give will be worth seeing. Then there will be running races and a base ball game between the Philips- burg and Renovo teams. Both these teams have been playing fast ball this year and the contest next Tuesday should be an in- tensely interesting one. The last thing on the program is the balloon ascension, which will take place alter the ball game. Every arrangement has been made to bave plenty of stands and an ample supply of eatables on the grounds so that no one need go hungry, whether you take a basket or not. The officials of the Cential Railroad of Pennsylvania company are assured of the largest supply of cars ever secured for a similar occasion, and will thus have ample facilities to transport the thousands who may attend. The best of order will be maintained throughout the day, as properiy deputized officials will see that no intoxicated per- sons be permitted on the trains or on the picnic grounds. Don’t forget the date, next Tuesday, and don’t forget to go. — A —— For THE BusiNgss MEN'S PI1cN1C.—The Central R. R. of Pa. bas about completed its arrangements for handling the large crowd that wil! journey from all points in Clinton and Centre counties to Hecla Park on Tuesday, August 20th. Between 8.00 a. wm. aud 1.00 p. m. five trains of from sev- en to ten cars each, and capable of seating three thousand people will leave Mill Hall for the park, and an equal number of trains and cars from Bellefonte to the park. The selection of Tuesday for holding this mon- ster pionic has in this respect proved a hap- py one. Ifall will carefully consult the special schedule for that day, and he on baud promptly, there is no reason why everybody should not bave a seat, and a comfortable ride to the '‘garden spot’’ of Central Pennsylvania. Remember the date, Tuesday, August 20th. oe ——The Wagner family reunion held a Grange park, near Centre Hall, on Wed- nesday of last week, was quite largely at- tended.
