snug sum of $234.33, of which amount

~The Bellefonte Steam Heating com-
pany has a foros of men going over its pipes
on Allegheny street. Several big leaks
have been uncovered and it bas been found
thas the wooden covering of the iron pipes
is very mooh decayed. Inasmuch as the
mew state highway will soon be built over
that thoroughfare it will be necessary to
get the line in good repair first, 20 as to
avoid tearing up the street.

Peonsylvania Fire Brick company, near
Beech Creek, on Monday morning, Alex-
ander Gardner, of Romola, was hit on the
lower jaw with a big picce of olay, and the
blow knocked his jaws together so quickly
thas his tongue was bitten through. Fortu-

canvassing Centre county trying to sell
farmers fruit trees and at the same time he
is berating the county commissioners and
all concerned for the improvements being
made ab the court bouse. Just why he is
taking the trouble to do this is a question
that bas not yet been figured out. While
there may be people in Centre county
who question the wisdom of the expen-
disare at thejoours house they are citizens
bere and tax payers and it is their righs,
but it is not within the province of a stran-
ger to come here and dictate or find fault
with what is being done.

people of Bellefonte bave been considerably
worked up the past week over the report
that a star of great brillianoy, reputed to be
the Star of Bethlehem, and which makes
its appearance close enough within the
earth’s radine only once every three hun-

Stare CoLukce Srupest Dies VERY
SuppeNLY.—K. H. Held, a Sophomore at
The Pennsylvania State College, died quite
suddenly in his room in the main building
on Monday morning. He was less than a
month over nineteen years old and appar
ently a strong, bearty young man, though
of late he bad been more or less troubled
with indigestion. He was partly paying
his way through college by waiting cn ta-
ble and Monday morning he did bis work
8s naval and ate bis breakfast.
Shortly after he had gone to his room in
the main bulding he was seized with a
spell of vomiting and suddenly grew so
siok thas bis roommates became alarmed
and while one ran for a physician swo oth-
ers did all possible to relieve him bus he
died before she dootor arrived. His father,
Hugo Held, who is connected with a Ger-
man paper ut Erie, was notified shat his
son was extremely ill and that he was to
come immediately, though he was not able
to get to the college until Tuesday morn-
ing, twenty-four hours alter his son’s
death.
In the meantime coroner P. 8. Fisher
had been notified and alter empanelling a
jury on Monday afternoon the inquest was
adjourned until alter the arrival of Mr.
Held on Tuesday when an autopsy was
held. The autopsy revealed the fact that
the young man was very badly affected
with tabercalosis of the bowels and kid-
neys and that the direct canee of death was
acute indigestion, superinduced by bis ta-
bercular condition.
Memorial services over the remains were
held by the class in the auditorium late
Tuesday afternoon after which the body
under escort of a delegation of classmates
was brought to Bellefonte over the Belle-
fonte Central railroad and taken on the
8.16 train on the Bald Eagle valley to his
late home in Erie, where funeral services
were held and borial made Wednesday
afternoon.
KEPHART.—In the death of Caleb H.
Kephart, at bis home neal Filmore on Mon-
day night Centre county loses a descendant

lies and a man well known and highly re-
speoted throughout this community. His

He followed farming all his life and was

family of twelve children, all of whom

ter, Mre. Martha Dickerson, of Faribault,
Minn. About sixty years ago he was united

~The time of yesr is drawing nigh
when most every man, woman and obild in
Centre county will be speculating on what
to buy for Christmas presents and where to
buy them. It is a fact that in the majority
of cases the prospective buyers turn #5 the
advertising columns of sheir favorite paper
to see what wide-awake merchants are
advertising that is new and novel. Nine
cases out of ten shey will see something
they want and will go buy it. Bas this
applies only to those merchants who ad-
vertise. So here is a pointer: Plant your
Holiday advertisements at once as the time
is limited. Only three weeks more until
Christmas, and in that time you must reap
your harvest, if you have one. And when
you are making up your list of newspapers
remember there are none in the county
better adveriising mediums than the
Warcauax. It always briogs results. If
you bave tried is before you know this. If
you have not, try it now and you will be
convinced. Ten, $wenty or thirty dollars
in advertising will bring results one hun-
dred fold.

——J ust because active operations have
not already been commenced and she pub-
lio oaunot see the road being graded and
ties and rails put down, cousiderable skep-
ticism prevails as to the building of the
proposed trolley road from Bellefonte to
State College. Bat the public shoald bear
in mind the fact that railroads are not
bails in a day, a week or a monsh. It takes
abous as much time to ges thinge in shape
to stars work as it does to build the road
after operations are once started. And the
fact of the matter is the people who have
the matter in hand are moving along just
os fast as they can. They are working on
securing the necessary rights of way for the
live, one of the most important shings to
do before work can be begun. And in
this they are meeting with good success.
Every farmer and property owner along the
proposed route of the road manifests an in-
terest in having it built and are about as
lenient in their concessions of a right of
way through their premises 2s can be. So
the public don’t want to get nervous or
skeptical. Give the projectors time to con-
summate their plane and then, if shey fail
to build the road, will be time enough Jo
rooff at the proposition.
APG cena
~The football season ended last Thurs-
day, Thaoksgiving day, and Centre coun-
ty won more honors this year than ever be-
fore. In their finz! game State College de-
feated the University of Pittsburg on their
home grounds by the score of 5 to 0. This
victory gave State a clean record for the
season, not baving been defeated once.
Two tie games were played, with the
Carlisle Indians and the University of
Pennsylvania, but in both contests State
outplayed her opponents. So remarkable
was the playing of captain Larry Vorhis
that many football experts are already
picking him for the All-American team.
But State was nos the only Centre county
aggregation that made a good showing, as
the Bellefonte Academy team is also en-
titled to considerable credit. During the
entire season they were defeated but twice
and in their last game on Thanksgiving
they simply overwhelmed the Osgood
Athletic club team of Altoona, a bunch of
semi- professionals, by the ecore of 24 to 0,
in one of the prettiest and cleanest games
ever seen in Bellefonte. So that Bellefonte,
State College and Centre county have rea-
son to feel proud of the achievements of
their football teams this season.

~The new High school building is
every week showing more of a finished ap-
pearance. The slaters bave about ocom-
pleted the roof on the building, the large
columns at the main entrance have been
ooncreted sud the ionic caps put in place.
Carpenters are fitting and putting in the
windows in order to make the build-
ing more comfortable to work in in
oold weather while others are putting
up the studding for the partitions in the
large rooms. The plasterers are also as
work putting lath on those rooms already
in shape while the people who have the
contracts for the plumbing, the beating
and ventilation and the artificial lighting
are also rushing their work as fast as pos.
sible. While is is yet a little early to
speak of is, the suggestion may not be un-
timely at that. There is no doubt thas
the new building when completed will be
one of the [best buildings in Bellefonte and
probably the best school building in this
part of she State, and when is is all done it
give a house-warming as a dedication of the
building. Invite educators from all over

——On Satarday night a certain resi-
dent of the North ward imbibed pretty
freely with the result that he had a bel-
ligerent holdover on Sunday morning and
the outcome of it was his wife telephoned
the police for protection. Officer Harry
Dukeman went to the man’s home and
found the wile looked ous of doors and the
headachy husband keeping the atmosphere
in the kitchen blue with sulphurous oaths.
No notice was taken of the officer’s demand
to open the door bus finally a little daugh-
ter came outside on an errand when the
officer went inside. He found the man bat
less, coatless and barefooted,and in marked
contrast $0 bis condition was a nice plump
turkey his wife bad prepared ready for the
Sunday dinner. As the man was in no
mood to be pacified and bis wile express.
ing fear of bim the officer bad only one re-
course, take him to the lockup. The man
at fires refased to go but when he found
the officer determined be put ou his clothes
bat before going walked over to the table,
grabbed the turkey sod with a profane
exclammation threw it oot through the
window, smashing a big pane of glass into
fragments. Fortunately the turkey wasn’s
raired if she window was and before the
mau was given bis liberty be bad plenty of
time to speculate on his conduct,
Bips For State HiGEWAY THROUGH
BeLLEFONTE—The bids for the building of
the state bighway through Beilefoate
boroogh, beginning at the northern bound-
ary on the old pike and connecting with
the present state road in Spring sownship,
south and east on Lion street to Allegheny
thence south on Allegheny to Bishop,
thence east to the borough live, a dis.
tance of 6962 feet, were opened at the State
Highway departmens in Harrisharg on
Tuesday of last week and received by the
Centre county commissioners in this place
on Thursday.
There were ten bidders and, inasmuch as
Allegheny street from Howard to Bishop
street is to be paved with brick to a width
of sixteen feet in the centre and the publie
square paved in lull, each bidder eubmil-
ted a number of bids covering the building
of the road of all possible kinds of materi-
al. R. B. Taylor, of this place, submitted
eight bids and as his are the lowest he will
very likely be awarded the contract,
though at this writing the officials bave
not yet designated which schedule or bid
will be accepted. The bidders and bids
are as follows:

The above bids are based on the kind of
road built, which ranges from local lime-
stone bottom with Howard W. C. brick
and asphalt top sprinkler to fall concrete
work.
The bid of W. H. Herr, of Altoona, for
$12,514.68, was thrown out beoanse not
complete, and the bide of Saupp & Drew,
of Altoona, and Busch & Stewars, of Wil-
liamsport, for $8,055.50 and $6,302.90 re-
spectively, were discarded for she same
reason because they included only the
briok paving over a looal stone bottom.

Thanksgiving day was observed here sbout
as usual but really not regarded as a holi-
day. All the stores and places of business
were open all day. Quite a number of fami.

It is really astonishing how a little mishap
ean be maguified and exaggerated beyond all
sease, as it passes from mouth to mouth. As
an illustration: About ten days ago Dr. Lieb,
of our town, accidentally sprained his wrist.
By the time the news of the accident reached
Bethlehem, where he formerly resided and
is well kuown, it was reported, snd the
newspaper siated, that he bad lost 2p arm
and one newspaper actually stated that he
bad lost both legs. Of course the exaggers-
tion amused the doctor as well asall his
friends here. .
