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.

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. While it
will be a table de’hote affair so far as the
25, 35 and 50 cents price of admission is
concerned is will be conducted on the Euro-
pean plan otherwise—that is, begin at seven
o'clock and be a continuous performance of
high class vaudeville specialties, moving
pictures and illustrated songs until late at
night. 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. Christy Smith’s orchestra will
furnish the musio. Pictures of the ambau-
lance is is proposed $0 purchase can be seen
in the windows of Parrish’s drug store. A
neat program is being prepared which will
be sold at the door and by the ushers for

trout fishing on Tuesday afternoon. 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

——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.

-—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.
