ADDITIONAL LOCALS,
~The corn and potatoes all over the
county are suffering for rain. The two
storms of last week only passed over a par-
row strip of territory and the ground was
#0 dry that its benefits were not lasting.

~The venerable George 8. Gray fell
from a ladder at his home near Stormstown,
one day last week and sustained quite seri-
ous injuries. Though no bones were broken
the shock to his system on account of bis
advanced age was quite severe and his
friends are apprehensive of the resals.

—— Because of the fact that they bave
secured tbe contract for the building of
the big classification yards of the Pennsyl-
vania railroad at Northumberland, a three
million dollar contract, by the way, the
Eyer—Shoemaker Construction company
started their repair and supply plant at
Tipton this week.
—— Berry pickers report that the huck-
leberry crop this year will he a short one.
Eatly in the season it gave promise of be-
ing very large but the prolonged drought
bad the effect of drying up the fruit and
much of it bas fallen off the bushes. Rasp-
berries and blackberries have also been
stunted by the dry weather and will be a
short crop.
——H. R. Ruger on Saturday purchased
the Star theatre from Gurne Freeman, in
Philipsburg, and took charge at once. The
Star is the leading moving picture show in
Philipsburg and as Mr. Ruger is a hustling
manager he no doubt will conduoot it better
than ever. Mr. Roger, hy the way, has
rented a house in that town and will go to
housekeeping there.
~—— Monday will be the last day for the
filing of bide with the county commission-
ers for the remodeling of the court house.
Up to this time no bids bave been submit-
ted but it is known that a number of con-
tractors are figuring on the contract and it
is likely thas before the time for the olos-
ing of bide arrives a ball dozen or more
bids for the job will be filed.

——When it comes to farming Tom
Beaver is just as much of a hustler as he is
at any other kind of work he undertakes.
He is a member of Col. H. 8. Taylor's stafl,
of the Filth regiment, and knowing that
he would bave to go to camp this week, be
finished waking bay and cut and bauled
in all his grain last week, and on Monday
he bad bis entire crop threshed and by
Tuesday voon it had been delivered at the
mill of Gamble, Gheen & Co. This en-
abled him to leave on Tuesday evening
with the advance detail for Somerset, where
the Second Brigade will go into camp to-
day. Col. Taylor, company B, the hospital
corpe and Fifth regiment drum corps left

——About ten o'clock on Saturday
night two quite young men engaged in a
lively ecuffle on the corner of Allegheny
and Howard streets, with the result that
one of them had one tooth knocked ont
and was otherwise pretty badly used up.
The victor in the scrap bad two compan-
ions with bim and, alleging that the three
of them had jumped on him at once the
young man who got the worst of the en-
counter had them all arrested for assault.
They were given a hearing before justice
of the peace John M. Keichline on Mon-
day evening and the evidence showing that
the prosecutor was as much to blame as
the defendants the justice discharged the
boye; suggesting to them, however, thas
inasmuch as they had knocked a tooth out
of the plaintifi’s mouth they ought to chip
together and buy bim another. This they
readily agreed to do.
———The trout fishing season is almost at
an end, there being just one more week of
it, and on the whole it could not be con.
sidered a very auceessful one for the fisher.
men io this locality. True is is, that quite
a number of trout were caught by those
who bad the patience and persistence to
put in day after day along the streams but
there were no record catches at any time
daring the e=ason. Whether it is because
the trout are becoming scarcer or more wi.
ly is bard to tell. It is a fact thas the first
half of the season was spoiled by the hard
rains and high water but these reasons
could not be considered during the past
month or so. The only good fishing of the
eeason was on Fishing creek and as soores
of fishermen were there day after day it
was only the lucky few who made good
catches. Spring creek and Logan’s branch
yielded fewer trout this season than they
bave for years, notwithstanding the fact
that they have been stocked with thous.
ands of fry in the last decade. But the
agony is almost over and after next week
fishermen will bave to devose their time to
angling for bass down Bald Eagle or pike
up the same stream.
BARREE ~David Barree died at his home
in Spring Mills at an early hour last Thars-
day morning. He bad not been in good
health for a oumber of years and for some
time past bad been blind, but be was no
worse than usual last Wednesday evening
when be was able to walk up stairs and go
to bed unassisted. Towards morning
be bad a sinking spell and death followed
at #ix o'clock.
Deceased was born in Huntingdon coun-
ty almost eighty-three years ago. When a
boy he located in Spring Mills and made
that his bome ever since. He was a baid-
working, industrious mas aod during his
lile followed various occupations. Since
early manhood he was a member of the
Methodist church and took a great interest
in all its proceedings, especially in Sunday
school work. He was kind and generous, a
friend of everybody and stood high in the
estimation of all who knew him. In 1863
he enlisted as a private in the 210th regi-
ment Pennsylvania volunteers and served
until the close of the war, taking part ina

BEEZER.—Not in years has the death of
a child in Bellefonte caused such universal
and profound sorrow as did the death of
Eleanor Beezer, the bright and interesting
little girl of Mr. and Mrs. George A. Beez:
er, at five o'clock last Saturday morning.
Just three and one-half years old she was
not only the idol of her parents, but be-
cause of her rare intelligence for one of her
years and her sweet, sunchiny nature she
was adored by all who knew her. In fact
she always appeared more ethereal than
mortal and it was this delicacy of constita-
tion that rendered ber unable to withstand
a four day’s siege of cholera morbus, her
system not baving the necessary reserve
strength to withstand the insidious disease.
That her death was deplored by a large
circle of acquaintances was evidenced by
the mounds of flowers which banked the
casket containing the little body. Bat
while kind friends thus paid a last and
loving tribute it could not mitigate the
anguish of the parents, nor can any word
of sympathy vow alleviate their pain.
Only time and that mysterious power from
on High will enable them to bear their
burden. In addition to the parents one
brother, Herbert, survives. The funeral
was held at 10 o'clock on Monday morn-
ing, burial being made in the Catholic cem-
etery.

Base BALL NEws.—‘‘Bellefonte’s base.
hall team play’s good ball bus not quite
good enough to win,” was the remark of
an old fan on Wednesday evening and that
about sizes up the whole situation. The
gawe with Renovo last Saturday was a
pretty contest but the visitors walked off
the field victors by the score of 2to 1. On
Wednesday Bellefonte lost another game to
Lock Haven, in that town, by the score of
5t0 2. Ooe bad feature in the Bellefonte
team will bave to be eliminated if the boye
want to win, and that is the making of so
many errors. Otherwise they play good
ball. And to get the support of the peo-
ple of Bellefonte as they want it they will
bave to win some games,
This ( Friday) afternoon the Look Haven
team will be here to play the locals and the
management have arranged for a ‘‘booster
day.” That is, they have solicited the
merchants to close their stores and places
of business during the game in order that
they and all of their employees may go
out to Hughes field and see the contest.
Now is the time when you can all show
your loyalty to the Bellefonte team. Go
ous today and see them play. It will en-
courage the boys and at the same time
swell the gate receipts. Take advantage
of “‘booster day’’ to boost the club as well
as its exchequer. Don's stay at home and
then growl if the team don’t win. Game
will be called at 3.60 o'clock.
The standing of the clubs to date is as
follows :
— After worrying along for five or six
years with an old 1902 model Franklin au-
tomobile Capt. Robert F. Hunter has de-
cided to ges an up-to-date machine and has
ordered a 1910 model E. M. F. This ma-
chine, which is manufactured by the Al-
lis—Chalmers company in Detroit, Mioh.,
is considered a very good one and after Mr,
Hunter secures his he feels confident thas
he will not be compelled to take the dust
of any machine in Bellefonte ; a fact that
will no doubt be a source of gratification
to him after the years of slavery with thas

THAT ROAD SUPERVISOR'S CONVEN-
TION. —Everything is progressing satisfao-
torily in the matter of arranging for that
convention of road supervisors in the inter-
est of good roads, which is to be held in
this place on Thursday, August 5th, and
all thas will be needed to make the thing a
success is for the supervisors to attend.
And the fact that they will be entertained
without any expense to them while in
Bellefonte is at least a minor reason why
there should be a good turnout.
The committee who are arranging for
the convention have secured state highway
commissioner Joseph W. Hunter, of Har-
risburg, to come here that day and make
the principal address. In addition Judge
Orvis will make a short talk, while there
will probably be brief speeches by several
others. This will be an opportunity the
supervisors cannot afford to miss if they
have the interest of good roads in their
districts as heart, and there is every rea-
son to believe they have. Therefore les all
be on band.
Bic BaseBaLL BENEFIT.—The man-
agers of the Bsllefonte baseball team have

who will waat to go to Hecla park for the
regular Friday evening dance, one full per-
formance will be given after the arrival
of the train in Bellefonte. The price of
admission will be but ten cents, and the
entertainment will be worth five times the
