A Clean Knock Out.
That class of political nobodies who are
always willing to pio their faith to the re-
fuse of Republican conventions, and are
eternally prasing about gesting a Republi-
oan on the Demoocratio ticket, received a
solar-plexus blow, on Monday last, when
Judge RICE announced that ‘‘under no oir-
oumstances would he accept a nomination
by the Demooratic convention.” While
the declination of an honor that he could
nos have secured in any manner, was en-
tirely unnecessary, bis action will at least
give that class of fellows who parade ae
Democrats, but who always want to vote
for a Republican, time to sit down and
find ont exactly where they are at. To this
extent Judge Rice did a good thing. His
action won't change the situation a parti-
ole but it will leave the political hermapb-
rodite to take his bearings anew and
force bim to adopt some otber plan, or con-
jure with some other name, in bis effort to
distract and divide the Democracy.

Base Bain NEws.—During the past
week the Bellefonte base ball team played
four games, losing three and winning one.
Their defeat by Renovo on Wednesday
placed them in the position of tail-enders
in the Central Pennsylvania league. Bat
the boys are not discouraged and are confi-
dent that they will yet strike a winning
pace. One thing to help them do this isa
far more liberal patronage by the people of
Bellefonte. The attendance at the games
is not large enough by any means. It not
only fails in financially supporting the
team bus quite naturally fails to give the
players the vim and enthusiasm they
should have to win.
Last Friday Lock Haven and Bellefonte
played their two postponed games on
Hughes field, the visitors winning the first
by the score of 5 to 3 and Bellefonte tak-
ing the second, a seven inning game, by
the score of 7 to 0. On Saturday Belle.
fonte went to Lock Haven and was defeat.
ed by the score of 3 to 0 in a six inning
game. On Wednesday of this week Reno-
vo again defeated Bellefonte on Hughes
field by the score of 8 to 7. Out of eight
games so far played Bellefonte bas won two
and lost six.

—James F. Marstellar, of Ebensburg,
general manager of the Pennsylvania Coal
and Coke company,and who is well known
in Centre conoty through having for years
been superintendent for the Lehigh Valley
Coal company at their mines in Snow Shoe,
had bis left arm broken in two places in an
automobile accident on Monday. He with
several friends was on his way from
Ebensburg in Mr. Marstellar’s big Stevens-
Duryea car to catch a train at Cresson.
When in sight of the station he saw the
train just coming to a stop and fearing he
would not make it he ordered the driver to
speed the car. The latter did so and in
turning a right angle on a piece of state
road the car skidded, the rear wheel struck
a stone abutment and the car was over-
turned. All the occupants were thrown
out but Mr. Marstellar sustained the worst
injuries.
——0Qane of the biggest crowds that has
ever attended a place of amusement in
Bellefonte was present at the Scenic Satur-
day night, Petriken hall being crowded
from the opening of the picture show until
its close, most of the time standing room
being at a premium. The high and up-to-
date class of pictures mansger Brown is
now securing is the reason the Scenic is so
largely patronized. And the pictures will
be just as high class tonight, tomorrow
night and all of next week. This is one
reason why you don’t ‘want to miss this
evening's entertainment as well as that to"
morrow evening ; and another reason is
that this week will mark the closing of
Will G. Laye’s engagement as singer of the
illustrated songs. Mr. Laye bas been in
Bellefonte two months and his singivg has
at all times been very pleasing to the large
audiences. Miss Maude Hovey, of Buffa-
lo, N. Y., who a year ago thrilled those
who attended the Scenic with ber beauti-
fal voice, is expected here next Monday for
a two week's engagement.

Professor VanNorman a leave of absence so
thas he might devote bis entire time to the
Dairy Show Association, in preparation for
the 1909 exhibition. Is was clearly not
feasible for Mr. VanNormean to attempt to

tance, so he was released entirely fora
period ending next December, and will
epend all of bis time in Chicago and Mil-
wankee, where the show will be held
October 15th to 24th. This will, of course,
take Prof. VanNorman from his work at

school year but will allow of his retarn iv
time to take up the work at she openiog of
the short courses in dairying and agri-
culture. :
