Allison Plauts’ accomplishments are not confined entirely to preaching the gospel was evidenced by those who saw him chasing around the town on Monday evening in the rain in search of a police- man. When the writer saw him he was so out of breath he could only gasp oat the fact that a man had gone into Paul Sheffer’s house and attacked Mrs. Sheffer; that they bad caught the man and Paol was then holding him while the reverend hanted a policeman to take the fellow off their bauds. At the time, of course, itceeemed like a very thrilling incident, and not being able to find a policeman at once Mr. Sheffer and the reverend took their prisoner to justice of the peace John M. Keichline’s office for an immediate hearing. By that timea policeman arrived on the scene and brave- ly guarded the door so the ‘‘villian’’ could pot escape. The consequence was he was at once put on trial. Mr. Sheffer was the chief witness and he testified that he had just reached home and on going into the house was confronted by his wife, in a very much frightened condition, who eaid the man had deliberately walked iu the house and demanded money, at the same time grabbing hold of her. Alter she had gotten him oat she telephoned to the store for Paul, weanwhile the man went on to Joseph Montgomery's house and was talk- ing to Mr. Montgomery who happened to be at home, when Paunl Sheffer arrived and took him into custody. Of course as Rev. Platts only did the sprinting after a police man he was not called upon to testify. In his own behalf the prisoner gave his pame as Charles Snyder and his age sixty- eight years. He said be was from Wil. liamsport, an old soldier and a wember of Reno Post, of that city. That he bad spent some time in the soldier's home; of late had been with friends in Cambria county and was now trying to make his way back to Williamsport. That be had been around tiving to beg enough money to keep him all night and see him part way on hie journey the next day and had gotten aboant thirty-five cents. He admit- ted going into the Sheffer home but denied that he bad grabbed Mrs. Sheffer. He also said that while he was being brought in Allegheny street he bad even lost the thir: ty-five cents he bad succeeded in begging. From the appearance of the wan Squire Keiohline thought him not altogether of sound mind and under the circumstances the only thing possible to do was to send him to jail. There he wounld be properly taken care of until bis final disposition could be decided upon. From his appear- ance and demeanor in the 'Squire’s office the man looked perfectly harmless, ARRESTED FOR SELLING OLEO.— On December 17th, H. L. Banzhof, pare food inspector of Altoona, made information agaist T. B. Budinger, of Snow Shoe, for violating the pure food law by selling oleo- margarine without a state license. The facts in the case are somewhat complicated and both sides are disposed to air their grievances, but the true statement of the incident so far ae the writer has heen able to gather it from all sources is as follows, 0. J. Harm is manager of the Budinger store in Snow Shoe and it was he who soggested to Mr. Budinger that they handle olen. Mr. Harm then wrote to deputy internal revenue collector G. W. Rees, of this place, requestinga license to sell oleomargarine. The license was pro- oared and the firm began handling the stoff. Ob ove of his visits to Snow Shee pure food inspector Bauzhof learned that the Badinger store was handling oleo. He went to Snow Shoe and at the Budinger store asked for rome butter. Mr. Budinger told him he did not have any but that he could sell him batterine or oleomargarine. Bauzhof hooght two pounds, and, notwith- standing the fact that it had been sold to him for oloe and was duly stamped ae such he sent it to State College for analysis, thus making the costs more than double what they ordinarily would have been. Of course the defense of Mr. Budinger was that he had told Mr. Harm to procure the necessary license, and Mr. Harm main- taine that he supposed he had done so when he got the license from Mr. Rees, whereas the faot was that he bad merely procured the internal revenue license and was withous the requisite state authority to handle oleomargarine. Mr. Buadinger came hefore justice of the peace John M. Keiohline, in this place, on Monday after- noon, and settled the case by paying the stipulated fine of one hundred dollars and costs, and signing a paper in effect that he would not sell any more oleo in Snow Shoe or in Centre county without taking outa state license. In the meantime be has al- ready procured a state license and is now in shape to legally bandle oleo. The action of the inspector in causing the arrest of Mr. Budinger appears to bave been entirely unwarranted and decidedly unjust. He was under the impression that be bad fally complied with the law and in such a case a move should be made to have the fine refunded. It is wot to the credit of the inspector who made the information and from our point of view he has branded himself as a very dangerous man to the public service. — ~——— Ed Richard slipped on the stairs at his home on east Linn street, on Friday of last week, fell and sprained hie aokle so badly that he was confined to the house until Taesday when with Mrs, Riobard he was oalled to Philadelphia to the bedside of her father who is not expeoted to live. ~ Miss Barbara Levy entertained the Mermaid olub on New Years eve and the young ladies all remained to see the 1908 infant ushered in. «= Prof. Clarence Shank, of Philadel- phia, is spending this week rusticating on his farm on the Top of the Allegheny mountain north of Beech Creek, better known as the old David place. ————— ce A ——Paxton Cowdrick has entirely recov- ered from his recent attack of typhoid fever and is able to be out and around again ; although so much bhewhiskered that his closest friends hardly recognized him at first glance.

H. Fishburn, a son of Mr. W. H, Fishharn, of Grand Island, Nebraska, spent the Holidays among relatives and friends in this county. Mr. Fishburn was horn in Benner township and went west with his father over twenty years ago and this is his fisst visit back to the old home. He finds many changes amoug our people and loyally holds to the belief that Nebraska is a better country for young men than is Pennsylvania. — — On Christmas the Salvation Army serv- ed dinner to over one hundred poor people of the town. Fifteen baskets were distributed to families who otherwise would have gone without a regulation Christmas dinner. While it was possible for the Army to do this throogh the liberality of the good peo- ple of the town in contributing the stuff, yet that fact does not detract from the good work of the Salvationists in carrying along the movement, which,it must be admitted, was a most worthy and commendable {one- ad NITTANY FURNACE BANKED.—On Mon- day the Nittany Iron company bavked their furnace in this place. This does not necessarily mean that it will be closed per- manently or for any great length of time. Lack of orders for iron determined the company in the close down, which was made at this time because there are a num- ber of repairs badly needed. These will be made and jast as soon as the condition of the market warrants it the farnace will again be put in blast. All the pig iron and material on hand is posted as the property of the Cincinnati Bonding and Warehouse company. — "oe ——Though he came in just a day too late to receive an acknowledgement in that handsome Christmas number of the WATCHMAN our thanks are no less due to Mr. George H. Musser, of Boggs township, for a basket of the rosiest-cheeked and most delicions apples we have tasted this winter. Mr. Musser uot only has choice fruit bat he evidently knows how to care for it properly, as was evidenoed by the perfect condition of his donation to this office. But then we suppose he exercises the same good jodgment in caring for his fruit be does in discharging his duties as a school director, and that is too well known in his bome precinet to peed comment here. en ~——Last week strangers visiting in town as well as residents of Bellefonte had the opportunity to see what a miserable sys. tem of orossings there is on the streets of Bellefonte. The wet and sloppy weather patarally rendered the streets muddy and there wae hardly a crossing in the main part of the town that was fit to travel over. All were covered with a thin, slimy mad toa depth of from one to two inches and by the time a man or woman had traversed o distance of two or three blocks their shoes looked as if they bad been tramping through a morass or ploughed field. The fact of the watter is that there is hardly a crossing in the town that is not lower than the street level and naturally they cannot be anything else hut muddy in wet weath- er. Even new orossings that have but re cently been put down are now lower than the street, because after they were laid the street was filled in higher than tbe oross- ings. Of course in freezing or dry weather CELEBRATED THEIR GoLpENx WED- DING. —Friday, December 27th, was an epoch in the lives of Mr. and Mrs. F. Potts Green, of this place, as it was the fiftieth anniversary of their marriage and in oele- bration of the event they invited a few friends to dinver that evening. Little pretense was made to making the affair elaborate and the very informality of the gathering rendered the occasion all the more pleasant. Among the guests were three who bad been present at the wedding of Mr. aod Mrs. Green fifty years previous. They were Mi. John P. Harris, who was best mao at the wedding, and Miss Hanoah Green, one of the bridesmaids, and Capt. J. Miles Green, and the recount- ing of the experiences of the wedding trip was quite entertaining to the guests, Mrs. Green’s maiden name was Miss Clemintiva Harris and her home in Lewis. burg. The dase of the wedding being set for December 27th, Mr. Green and those of the wedding party from thie place, left Bellefonte on Christmas day, 1857, ina donble sleigh on their way to Lewisburg. Before they reached Mifflinburg it began to rain and hy the time they arrived at that town the sleighiug was gone. They spent the vight there and next day hired a two seated covered wagon and drove to Lewis- burg. The night of December 26th it grew colder. The wedding ceremony, which was performed by Rev. Isaac Grier, of Miflinburg, took place at 7.30 o'clock on the morning of the 27th, and while the nuptials were being said the rain turned to snow avd by the time the wedding party reached Mifflinbauig on their retarn trip the snow was deep enough for good sleigh- ing and they again exchanged the wagon for the sleigh and drove to Centre Hall where the night was spent, It was an eventful trip in more ways than one and recalling it for the benefit of those present gave much pleasure to the participants. Ae an evidence of the high esteem in which Mr. and Mrs. Green are held by their ueighbors and friends they were the recipients of many quite valuable presents. In addition to their own family those present were Mr. and Mrs. Merrill Barber, Mr. and Mrs. James Snodgrass, Dr. and Mrs. Charles Dimm and Mr. and Mrs. Robert Snodgrass, of Mifflinhurg; Hon. and Mrs. Harry Cartin, of Roland; Misses Julia and Sasan Gregg, Miss Han- oah Green and Capt. J. Miles Green, of Milesburg; Mr. and Mrs. John P. Harris, Mr. and Mrs. F. H. Thomas, Mr. and Mrs, James R. Hoghes and Mes. W. E. Gray, of Bellefonte. ee Miss FLORINE FARR As ‘‘Miss PerTI- COATS." —It would be difficult to find in this broad land anvone who has not seen the picture of ‘‘Miss Petticoats’ in her charming red cape either on the cover of the hook or on the big posters on the bill- boards. She made a very fascinating little picture and held the attention of the reader 80 closely in the story that everyone wish- ed to see her upon the stage and this is to announce that ‘‘Mise Petticoats’ of hook fame bas now become the '‘Miss Petticoats’ of play fame as well, and it is self-evident that what rhe comes for is to entertain the theatre-goers who are always looking for a novelty in the way of a play and will pack the opera house to see the dramatization of a novel thas had such a phenomenal sale, which continued for a year after its publi cation. Its stay in this town is limited to one night, Wednesday, January 8th. The firss-class company who have been selected to play ‘Miss Petticoats’’ carry fine scenery to illustrate this beautiful New Eogland story, laid in a quaint seaport town, that belps to preserve the picturesque qualities and gives a salty twang to the atmosphere of the whole play that wil! be appreciated by all theatre patrons. The part of *‘Miss Petticoats’’ is taken by Miss Florine Farr,a young oman who has attained a reputa- tion as an actress of wide renown. Don’t fail to see her when she appears in Belle- fonte. — THE MUMMERS FROM PLEASANT GAP. —For years Pleasant Gap has bad a band of fantastics or New Year's shooters who have contributed no small amusement feature to the ushering in of the New Year. Wednesday they came to Bellefonte in great array and made a parade of the streets of the town much to the enjoyment of the small boy and decidedly to the quickening of the New Year spirit in older persons. There were seventy-eight of them, all mounted or in most novel conveyances. There were clowns, cowboys, Indians, niggers, fat women, rabes, baunds,and tom- fools of every sort. Ralph Noll seemed to he the Major General and Sam Cole was conspicuous in the first file. The striking group of the parade was the Horn-Town Council, a trio of wise looking guys, who rode in something that looked like they were heading a Fourth of July parade on their native streets, They were ‘‘Batey” Tate, Archie Irvin and Jack Mulfioger. It was a nice feature carried oat at con- siderable trouble and the boys from Pleas- aut Gap are to be congratulated on the get- up they have in doing something merry to gtart the New Year off with light hearts, because light hearts beget hope and hope aud light hearts overcome many of the ob- stacles in thie life, m————— ——Dr. and Mrs. W.
