CoxTRACT AWARDED FOR NEW ScHooL BuiLpiNe FOUNDATION.—The contract for excavating and doing the oonorete work for the foundation for the ne North ward school building was on Taesday morning awarded by the ing committee of the Bellefonte board to Lewis Wallace and Kn Rhoads, of this place. The price upon is forty cents per cubic yard for ex- cavating and four dollars a cabio yard for the conorete work. Six bids were submitted to the building committee lass Friday. They were by Lew Wallace, Knisely & Rhoads, Albert Sobad, the Haop! Brothers and James MoCaflerty, of this place, and a man by the name of Pierce, of Altoona. The bids ran all the way from lorty cents tc cue dollar a yard for excavating aud from $3.50 to $5.30 a oubic yard for the conorete work. Lew Wallace and Knisely & Rhoads were the lowest bidders exoept one and for various reasons that bid was eliminated. The committee, however, considered all the bids a little excessive and rejected shem. Another meeting of the committee was held on Monday evening at which it was decided to give Messrs. Wallace, Knisely and Rhoads the work if they would revise the oc norete pars of their bid to four dol- lare per cubic yard. The gentlemen in question were called before the committee Taesday morning and when informed of the action of the committee finally deoid- to do the work for the price stipulated. The contract for the same was scoordingly signed by both parties on Taesday after: noon. The successful bidders are already get- ting things in shape to begin work, which they will do as soon as possible, as it is the wish of the building committee to have the entire fonodatiou of the new building completed and ready for the building of the outside walls by the time the schools close the latter part of May. To do this will require some hastling. The new building will be 80x150 feet in siz: and will stand in the rear of the present build- iug, the front wall to be on the line of the rear wall of she old schoo! house. But to get a solid foundation it wil} be neccessary to go down anywhere from twenty-five to thirty feet, perhaps deeper, and to do all that excavating, then fill it pp with ocon- orete will mean no small amount of work. The contractors, however, who bave been awarded the work, are all responsible men avd capable of pushing the work as (ast as possible, so that there is every reason to believe the job will be finished on time. As to the new building, architeot Robert Cole has not yet completed the fall plans but it will not deviate in any important way from the descriptions already publish. ed. . BELLEFONTE GIRL SUBMITS PLAN FOR New BSoHooL BUILDING.—On learning that the Bellefonse school board had decid: dd to erect a new school building this year, Miss Anna Wagner Keiohline, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Johu M. Keiohline, of this place, and who is a student in Cornell Uni. versity, decided to submit plans for a modern, up-to-date building. After read- ing up on all of the best sohool houses in the country she made a facade drawing, in colors, and eent it to her father to submit to the school board. The latter were so much pleased with the drawing that they have asked Miss Keichline to submit blae print plans and estimates. Architect Robert Cole of course has been awarded the contraot to prepare the plans for the new building and the only purpose of the board in asking Miss Keiohline to submit plans is that from them they may be able to secure muoh valuable information in some of the most important details of modern architecture. With her plans Miss Keichline will also submit estimates of the cost of construction which will be valuable for comparison with the estimates tarnished by Mr. Cole aud thus help the board to an intelligent award of the con- tract for the erection of the building. Miss Keichline is a graduate of the Bellefonte High sohool, olass of '06, and while a student here evinced a remarkable talent for drawing aod higher mathemat- ios. Since going to Cornell she has made such rapid progress that she now stands third in a class of about four hundred ssndents, a For A HOSPITAL AMBULANCE.—Every- body in Bellefonte wants to attend the en- tertainment to be given in the opera house next Wednesday evening, May 5th, in the interest of purchasing a rubber tired amba- lance for the Bellefonte hospital.

The program has not yet been fully made up but enough features have been booked to assure its being well worth the price of admission asked. Among the specialties there will be a very amusing skis, *‘Looked Out,” by Mrs. Burnside and George R. Meek; the Salome dance— and you want to be there and guess wheth- er it is given by a man or a woman; a char- aoter eketoh by a popular actor ; there will be musio by a quartette and other special. ties by The Pharsoniane, of State College, and of course a big program of fine motion pictures.

He was all rigged ont with an up-to-date rod and line and high rabber boots, and of course, he bad an ample supply of bais along, but it must be admitted that when the writer saw him be had no fish—not a trout, not even a sucker.

W— ——The Bellefonte Academy base ball team returned the latter part of last week from their eastern trip, and had the satis- faction of bringing home the ecalps of two very worthy foes. They were the Peon Charter and Princeton Preps., which were defeated by the scores of 5t0 1 and 3 to 2 respectively. It rained so much of the time while the team was away that they were unable to play more than ball the games sobeduled, bat at that their trip was a sune- cessful and victorious one. ——A fair audience was present in the opera house last evening to hear “‘The Thespians,’’ the dramatic organization of Tle Pennsylvania State College, in the farce comedy, ‘‘Popocaterpillar VIL.” This is the swellth year for The Thespians and it can easily be said that this has been the best production in which they ever ap- peared. The closing skit, ‘Uncle Thomas’ Cottage, or Who Stepped on Harriett Beeober's Toe,’ was exceptionally fanny. The play was well costumed and staged throughout. > ——Mr. W. G. Laye, of Lock Haven, is the new singer who has been attracting considerable attention at the Scenic theatre this week. He has a strong tenor voice and his songs are a pleasure to hear. In his selection of singers manager Brown al- ways endeavors to get the very best he can, just as he does in the matter of pictures, and all who patronize the Soenio know that he gives the best and latest piotares obtainable. For the small price of five cents nobody can afford to miss the Scenic, as it isan education in itself. ——Deer seem to be more plentiful now on the mountains in the neighborhood of Woodward than they were daring the honting season last fall. No less than three of the fleet-footed animals, all does at that, were run to death by dogs during the late winter and early spring, and with that it is not an unusual sight to see one or more deer come down off the mountain to the green fields to get something to eat. The only deplorable fact is the killing by dogs of the three mentioned above, a faot for which nobody was direotly responsible while the dogs that did the ohasing could not be apprehended and shot, a® ought to have been the case. —————— A —— -—William W. Potter, the artist, for- merly of Milesbarg but now of Philadel- phia, scored another hit recently. He had several piotures on exhibition at the New York exhibition where they were viewed by officials of the Carnegie Institute at Pittsburg who invited him to exhibit them at thas institution at their annual exhibi- sion $5 be held shortly. Suoh an invitation is not merely a perfanctory matter as it means the packing and transportation of the piotare in good order toand from the exhibition at the expense of the Carnegie Institute, a matter of from filty to one han- dred dollars. Mr. Potter bas opened a temporary studio in Bellefonte and is now finishing several pictures which have heen pronounced exceedingly fine by those who have seen them. ——Qne week from today, on Friday, May 7th, will be a big day in the athletic history of The Pennsylvania State College, as it will be the occasion of the formal opening of their new Beaver field, west of the college buildings. A baseball game between State and Dickinson and a tall pro- gram of track and field events will be the athletio program for the day. While she new fleld has not been entirely completed the most of it bas been graded and isin good shape for use. Of coarse only a small part of the buildings contemplated have been ereoted but now that the grounds are so far under way there is every assurance that new Beaver field, with ite equipment of buildings, eto., will finally be complet- . And when it is is will be one of the finest athletio fielde at any college iv the country. BELLEFONTE AX AUTOMOBILE Towx. —On Friday last H. 8. Ray, landlord of the Brockerhoff house, and Jobn I. Ole- wine, the bardware man, received their new Franklin automobiles. The latter is a 1909 model D touring car with all the modern improvements, while Mr. Ray's machine is a 1909 model G gentleman's roadster the only machine of ite kind in the county. Both gentlemen, as well as their friends, have heen trying their machines out during the past week and are very well pieased with them. Dr. BSeibert’s new Franklin ronabout, it is expected, will be here within a week or two. Bellefonte is certainly an automoble town. With the four new machines order- ed and on the way, and whioh should be here inside of a few weeks Bellefonte will have just forty-four automobiles, or almost an average of one to every one hundred inhabitants. Of this number there are eighteen Fraokline, four Stanley steamers, two Oldsmobiles, five Baioks, six Fords, oue Cadillac, one Chalmers-Dztroit, one Thomas-Forty, one Winton, one Mitchell, on Rapid twelve passenger car and Willard Hal!’s runabout. Where is there another town the size of Bellefonte that can show such a list of ma- cbines,and so many of high quality as there are bere ? From a financial standpoint it means a cash investment of upwards of one hundred thousand dollars in machines alone, not counting the money spent for oil and gasoline to keep them running and the cost for repairs, eto., as well as garage services. So it can be seen that the auto- mobile business in Bellefonte is not a small ove, by any means, and the rights of the owners should be considered when itcomes to the question of keeping the streets of the town as well as the roads through the county in good repair. Io this connection it might he added that Bellefonte automobilists are agitating the question of either reorganizing the old satomobile club or forming a new one, with the idea that by concerted action they may be able to influence the building of better streets and roads. A meeting was to have been held on Monday evening but proper notice had not been given and now it will likely be held io the near future. ——— A Boy, A GIRL AND A Boy.—Eve tempted Adam in the garden of Eden and he ate of the forbidden fruit and thereby came the sin of man. For some time past a certain boy—he is hardly yet a young man—in Bellefonte bad been paying marked attention to a young girl about his own age and every- thing was bright as sunshine until the star of a certain Academy student appeared in the horizon when the girl in the case not only gave him smile for smile but more material encouragement. O! course this raised she ire of the first-mentioned young man and be determined to be avenged. In company with a companion he, on on Saturday night, April 17sh, lay in wait for his student rival and when that young man made his appearauce at the turn near MeCoy’s residence he was pounced upon and not only beaten into unconsciousness bat frightfally battered ap. It is said that he lay in the road unconscious for three hours before he was found and taken home to the Academy and it was several days before he was able to get out of the bouse, and shea his face looked as if it had been through a cyclone. Fortovately the student recognized the two yonog men and last week he bad both of them arrested, as the offense they com- mitted is a far more serions one than they possibly imagined. A hearing was set for Tuesday evening before justioe of the peace J. M. Keicbline but when the time arrived the two young men waived a hearing and gave bail in the sam of three hundred dol- lars for their appearance at court. And now every reasonable effort will be made to settle the case, which will, at leass, be best for the two under arrest.
