DEATH oF “DEWEY.” —Dewey is dead.
By this we do not mean Admiral Dewey,
who attained such world-wide fame at the
battle of Manilla, but “Dewey,” the big
Percheron stallion owned by three well-
koown Bellefonters. The horse was pur-
chased about a year ago by the above gen-
tlemen for the suw of eighteen houndred
dollars and was ove of the biggest and moss
magunificens horses ever broughs to thie
community. Jast what caused his death
is somewhat of a mystery to the owners.
He was taken siok Monday morning and
it wae supposed that his trouble was colic.
Monday afternoon he seemed considerably
better and the indications were that he
would get along all right bat later he grew
worse and died ou Tue<day afternoon. The
death of Dewey, of coarse, is a big loss to
the owners as well as the community and
about the only man who realized anything
was Christ Beezer, who seoured the hide
avd will have it made into a robe, providing
one of the owners does not desire it for
arog.
HAD Narrow ESCAPE. — Two weeks

steep bill at she planing mill dam he stop-
ped to rest his horses and was in the aot of
blocking the rear wheel of the wagon when
the embankment gave way and the road,
wagon and horses rolled down the steep
side a distance of many fees. Mr. Fred-
ericks managed to jump onto solid ground
and escaped the same fate. The wagon
was badly damaged hut the horses escaped
with only slight injuries.

Moxpay.—The program of moving pio-

in Garman’s opera house next Monday
evening will be entirely new to Bellefonte
people and will be one you all will want to
see. Hadley has exhibited in Bellefonte
80 often that his reputation is established
here and everybody who attends his mov-
ing picture show will be assured of get-
ting their fall moneys worth. His enter.
tainment this year will be given under the
auspices of Gregg Post and for this reason
if no other it ought to be most liberally
patronized. Remember that nexs Monday

teen inch beauty and another one eleven
inches long which he landed out of Spring
creek, opposite the Bush house, jast a few
minates previous. The two of them
weighed about oue and a half pounds and
they were a sight to make a man’s mouth

——Easter was very appropriately ob-
served in all she churches in Bellefonte on
Sunday by special, even elaborate pro
grams of services. Profuse decorations and
an abundance of appropriate music were
the chief features in all hoases of worship.
To attempt to give a report of each one
would take up far more space than we can
possibly devote to it, 80 mass be content in
sproifying shat auy person who failed to
attend ove or more of she Easter services
missed a religious treat such as comes hat

——— April weather bas been far more
fickle this year than that of March. Ordi-
narily Marels is the month of storms, rain,
high winds and the varions ‘kinds of dis-
agreeable weather, hat this year this month
of terrors was exoeptionally mild, even toa
number of thander storms. This mouth,
bowever, we are having the oold, storms
and high winds generally prevailing in
March and the question naturally arises,
are the seasons changing? Is winter being
shoved farther into the lap of spring and
will the time come when the boys will go
snowballing on she Fourth of July and we
will all celebrate Christmas in the summer
time ? It such is the cace in a thousand
years or so we will be compelled to bave a
board of revision for the almanac as well as
the calendar year.
——The ‘‘contrariwiseness’’ of an anto-
mobile kas 15h yet been tully accounted
for. Sometimes they ran very smoothly ;
sometimes they act like a bucking hroncho;
sometimes they won’s go a all, and then
sometimes they go when you don’s expeos
or even want them to go. The latter was
the case with Dr. Kilpatrick’s Franklin
ranabout on Monday morning. The ma-
chine was standing in front of Temple
Court with the steering gear turned to-
wards the street. A bard gust of wind
came along and striking the top of the
machine amidsheets started it on a journey
across the street where it ran into Col.
Coburn’s buggy, breaking a wheel and
frightening the horse so shat it ran away.
Fortunately nobody was hurt and no
farther damage was done. Robert F, Hun.
ter’s machine out a similar caper last week
but did no farther damage than to buts
into a telephone pole.
Two STORES RANSACKED BY ROBBERS.
—Robbers again manifested their presence
in Bellefonte on Monday night when they
effected an entrance into both Mouotgomery
& Co's. clothing and gens tarnishing
store and W. 8. Zeller’s drug store and
ransacked both places. They got in by
breaking the glass in the rear doors which
open oo an area-way between Crider’s Ex-
change and Crider’s building. Just what
the robbers were alter is hard to determine
from what they took and what they didn’s
take.
In breaking the glass in she door leading
into Montgomery's store one of the roh“ers
evidently out his hand or arm as there was
blood on the door knoh. on the floor,
counters and clothing. The only thing
missed from the store was one suit of
clothes, a rain coat and & suit case. From
the drawer of the cutting table the thieves
secured a big pair of woissors and with
these badly mutilated the valuable cash
register recently installed hy the firm, and
that notwithstanding the fact that every
drawer in the register was anlocked and
standing open. No attempt was made to
blow the safe, so far as conid be seen.
Iu Zellers drug store the robbers took
| several handfuls of cigars from the cave
but vo boxes, fooled around among the
fishing tackle bat so far as could be dis-
cerned did not take any. There was a
money drawer in the store sanding open
| in which were a namber of nickles, but
| these were undistarbed. The only things
| taken tn addition to oigars were three dishes
of ice cream. Whether this is an indica-
tion there were three robhers or thas if
only one man did the joh he was so fasti-
dious that he could not eat ice oream ous
of a once-used dish, of course cannot be
told.
Whoever the party or parties were, how-
ever, one thing is certain, they either live
in Bellefonte or else had been here long
enough to ges very well acquainted. They
not only knew the most vainerable point
of entrance to the stores but they also
knew that Clande Smith lived on the third
floor of the Exchange. The men had some-
where stepped in soapstone or some white
sabstacce and their tracks were not only
traceable all through the two stores bat
up the two flights of stairs into the Ex-
ohange and close to Smish’s door, where
they had evidently gone to see if he were
awake or in bed asleep. While so far
there is no trace of the robbers the police
aathorities feel confident they will be ahle
to catch them, as from the amount of blood
in Montgomery's store one of them muss
have a pretty badly cut hand.
