BELLEFONTR'S
Housg. —The stoue foundation walls of the
pew High schoo! haildiog have been com-
——— | pleted and most of the steel griders and
joists tor the first floor bave been putin
position and in a tew days bricklayers will
begin work ov laying the brick for the
main building. The ontside walls will be
of Pompeian or mottled brick with the in-
side walls of ordinary brick.
The big cost of the new building over the
original estimate has heen the caase of
much discussion and comment 1n Bellefonte
aud is is just possible that not ten per cent.
of the taxpiyers of the town know why it
is 80. It might be said right bere that the
school board, if they thought it wise to do
80, could greatly reduce the cost of com-
pleting the hailding, bat it would not only
be at a sacrifice of she stability of the
stractare bat also shesalery of every stu.
dent attending school there.
The present plans require that brick, or
practically fireproof partitions divide every
room, and that steel ceilings be placed in
all of them. They also provide that all
the hallway floors be of tile or concrete ;
that the wainscoting in the balls be of
oream colored vitrified brick with the npper
portion heavily plastered and caleimined.
This will render the balls almost totally
fireproof and if a fire should oconr io one
or more of the school rooms, the pupils
would be perfectly sale the mioute they
reached the hallways. And as these will
be large with three main entrances and
exits, it can readily be seen how ahsclute-
ly safe the building will be.
To reduce the cost, wood floors and wains-
coting, aod the ordinary plastered oceiliogs
could be put in, bat who in Bellefonte
would want tosave a few hundreds or even
thonsande of dollars in the coustruction of
a building which, when finished, would
not only he nusafe hat practically a death:
trap in case of fire? Certainly no ove who
has she interests and the safety of their own
children. or the yonug people of the town
at hears. There is no denying the fact that
sixty five thonsand dollars is a hig sam for
a school building, bat if the town is given
a schoo! baoildiog fally worth that amount
| of money, for the benefis of the children
and she coming geuerations it ought to
sanotion its erection.
FOUNDATION WALLS ALL RIGHT.
For some time past there has been con-
siderable talk around Bellefonte shat she
foundation walls of the new building were
jefective and should not be allowed to
stand that way. [Iu order to set at ress all
doubts in the master the school board yes-
of hydraulic and sanitary engineering at
The Penosylvania State College, to make a
thorough inepection of the walls, which he
did. After speodiog over two hour in
going over them moss thoroughly he was
seen by the editor of the WATCHMAN and
himself anthorized the statement thas the
walls are “all right,’ so quote his own
words. n " :
It is anderstood, however, that Mr.
Walker suggested to the school board and
architect Robert Cole a lew minor changes
in several places, but which refer to the
plans only and have nothing whatever to
do with the character or stability of the
wall. This should be enough to satisly the
people of Bellefonte and put an end to all
cofair criticism.
Nirrany Country Crus House WiLL
ProBABLY BE REBUILT —~There is a strong
probability that the Nittany Country clab
house at Heola, which was totally destroy-
ed by fire on Wednesday night of last week,
will be rebunils. A meeting of the mem-
bers from Tyrone, Altoona, Osceola Mills,
Houtzdale and Philipsharg was held in Ty-
rone last Friday evening and they were
unanimous in favoring the rebuilding of
the club honse at Heocla. In fact, that is
the only place they considered at all, and
in liea of rebuilding there they woald
either withdraw from the membership of
the clab or favor disbanding entirely.
Ob Saturday afternoon a general meeting
of the members was held in this place
which was attended by twenty-six,
At that meeting the fact was reported
that while the McMullen estate would
not rebuild the boase they made the club a
very attrastive offer whioh natarally had
much to do in influencing the members in
their decision so rebuild, it it is at all pos-
sible to do so, and a committee composed
of George R. Meek, chairman, L. T. Mun-
son and W. Harrison Walker, was appoint:
ed to bave plans prepared, inquire into the
possibility of financing the project and re-
port within a week.
If said report is favorable, and as matters
look now it will be, then the club house
will be rebuilt on practically she old lines
of the one destroyed, so far as the exterior
is concerned, but modernized somewhat on
the iuterior plans. If it is decided to re-
build work will be begun in the immediate
future so thas the building will be com-
pleted and read; for occupancy by Novem-
ber first.
IT Was Hor.—Sanday was not only the
hottest day shis season but the hottest here
in years, in fact ever since there bas been a
government recording station in Bellefonte.
Heretolore she hottess is has been in Belle-
fonte was a fraction over 98 degrees while
on Sunday the thermometer climbed as
high as 89 degrees above zero and remain-
ed there a good pars of the day.
According to the old folk lore weather
prophets we will not bave any rain to
amount to anything until Sanday, when
the Virgin Mary re-orosses she mountain.
This is eaid by old-timers to be a sure in-
dication of rain sud, after the prolonged
drought we bave had it is to be hoped that
the above propheoy will come true and rain
come in plenty.

honey the prolonged drought of the past
seven weeks has so dried up every kind of
vegetation, especially the second orop of

Mr. and Mrs. Campbell, who are now the
owners of the cave and it proved a very
bappy mathering. Among the outside

——In the regular advertising columpa
of the WATCHMAN will be found the ten
constitational amendments which will be
voted upon at the election in November
In order that every voter in Centre county
oan vote upon them intelligently they
should be read and carefully studied. Read
them now, when you will have plenty of
time to consider them wisely and do not
wait aotil the eve of the election when you
will have to read them hurriedly and with-
out the time for consideration may vote ill
advisedly.

the place for holding the meeting at which
the nomivees named at the Democratic
state convention, at Harrisburg, last week,
will be formally and officially notified of
their selection as the standard-bearers of
she party, and vaturally the Democrats of
thas oity and county are jubilant. The
| meeting will be held on Wednesday, Au-
gust 25th, and quite a large gathering is
anticipated. Naturally, quite a number
of the leading Democrats in the State are
expected to be present and take part in the
proceedings, and the day will practically
mark the opening of the fall campaign.
——W. C. Foote, of this place,the school
book agent charged by liverymav Ben
Shellenberger, of Tyrone, with driving a
horse of his to death, mention of whose ar-
rest was made in last week's WATCHMAN,

day morning. Mr. Foote was represented
by H. C. Quigley Esq.,while W. L. Pascoe
E«q , looked after liveryman Shellenberg-
ec’s interasts, Several witnesses testified
that Foote had driven turther than Hannah
and that the horse was forced to a trot up
hill and down. Mr. Foote throngh his at-
torney, finally waived a further hearing

——The workmen who are patting the
new steel ceiling in Petriken ball are mak-
ing good progress this week and have prob-
ably one-third of it on. The work, by the
way, does not interfere with the Scenic
moving picture shows, though it may in-
convenience the audiences fora few days,
and thas popular place of amusement con-
tinues to draw large crowds every evening.
Will G. Laye and Jobo Bartruff have been
in sapreme charge this week during the
absence of T. Clayton Brown and the fact
that the place runs along as smooth as
ever is evidence that they are old hands at
the business. The Soenio is so well known
by this time, and its reputation for giving
only the best 50 well established that all
one has to do any evening in the week is
to follow the orowd and be is sure to land
there. And everybody always goes away
more than satisfied.
—Four weeks from yesterday The
Pennsylvania State College will open for
the ensuing school year and from present
indications the institution will be crowded
as never before. From the number of appli-
cations for entry already received it is esti-
mated that the Freshman class this year
will amber close to six hundred stadents
aod the attendance all told be in the neigh-
borhood of fourteen hundred. The one
great problem yet to solve is where to house
them all. Of course the large number of
new houses being erected will be about
completed by that time and as most of
them are desigoed for the purpose of lodg-
ing and boarding students,accommodations
will thus be made for from two hundred
students upwards. But with that the col-
lege needs one or two large dormitories de-
signed especially fer the accommodation of
the students in attendance at college.

time the movement never got beyond the | _Roger A. Bayard, local editor of the Tyrone | _ Mrs. Alfred Grove returned this week from a
survey and expenditare of a goud bunch of |
money, the promoters always failing to get
the requisite financial backing. This time, |
however, the movement promises to be a |
success and the trolley assured, because the
financial part of it has already been arrang- |
ed and all that remains now is for the var-
ions horoughs to grant she right of franchise |
shroagh their streets and the secaring of a |
charter when the surveys will be made and
work on the line begun.
It the trolley road is built, sud there is
now every reason to helieve it will be, the
one man iv Bellefonte to whom the credit
will belong is Mr. L. T. Munson. He was
one of the men connected with the move-
ment to build a road four years ago and,
though the project was abandoned because
the engineers of J. Gilbert White & Co , of
New York, aleer a survey and careful esti-
mate, declared it wounldn's pay, Mr. Man-
son did not give up. During bis location
in Pistahurg the past year he brought the
matter to the attention of a number of
Pittsburg capitalists aod after a close snd
careful examination into the matter by
men of experience from that city a ayodi-
cate has been formed and all the capital
needed to build sud equip the road already
pledged.
Mr. Munson will make application at
the next regular meeting of the Bellefonte,
Mileshurg and State College borough
councils for the granting of a franchise
throngh their limits and expects to make
application for a charter next week. Jost
as 300n a3 these are secored a corps of en-
gineers will be put to work laying oat the
line and work will be siarted as
soon as possible. Though they have nos yet
fally decided on the route of the trolley
through the boroughs from State College
to Bellefonte it will be by way of Lemont
and Pleasant Gap, practically on the same
route surveyed four years ago aod for
which the charter was sorrendered, after
the project to build it was abandoned.

father alone. While the boy was gone Mr.
Shook secured his shot gao, sat down on a
chair and placing the muzzle under his
chin pressed the trigger with his toe.

three years old and is survived by his wife

BELLEFONTE ScHOOLS WILL OPEN SEP-
TEMBER 6TH.- Jonas E. Wagner, super-
vising principal announces that the public
schools of Bellefonte will open for the com-
ing school year on Monday, September 6th.
Natarally there has been considerable won-
derment as to how the different schools
will be accommodated until the comple-
tion of the new building acd at the sug-
gestion of Mr. Wagner the sohool board
has concluded to adopt the following sched-
ule :
The High school will be held at the
usual place and so will the schools in the
Midway. All the other graded schools
will be held in tbe brick building on Bish-
op street, but instead of baving a fall day’s
school they will be divided into two peri-
ods. Hall the schools (the grades and
number to be announced later) will meet
at 8 30 o'clock in the morning and contin-
ue in session until 12 o'clock when they
will be through for the day. The other
half will be in session from 1 to 4.30 in
the afternoon. In this way the school
board will not need go to the extra ex-
pense of leasing rooms and putting in seats,
desks, blackboards, eto., to accommodate
the schools until the new building shall be
completed.

EYE GRAINS IN THROAT PRONOUNCED
DIPHTHERIA. —Last week Edward Con-
fer, a farmer near Yarnell, suffered witha
very sore throat and the attending physi
cian at first diagnosed the ailment as diph-
theria. After a day or two, however, it
became evident that it was not that much
dreaded disease and for a time even the
physician was baffled. On Sanday the
doctor made a close examination of Mr.
Confer’s throat when he discovered as the
cause of the trouble two decomposed grains
of rye lodged in the membraneous lining
of the throat just below the root of the
tongue. How or when the grains got there
Mr. Confer was unable to state, but there
they were lodged and decomposing caused
inflammation and a soreness almost like
diphtheria. The grains were removed and
