They might have extended their labors all along Spring creek through the borough limits, and removed all the rubbish which now renders the stream so unsightly. ——When you go to church on Sunday, morning, that is if you go at all, don't be surprised if you see a strange preacher in the pulpit, because that is what is going to happen. All the ministers in Bellefonte are going to change pulpits on Sunday and no knowledge of who their preacher will be will be given to any con- gregation until they see for themselves upon their arrival atthe church. And this is one reason why you should make it a point to be there on Sunday. ——From our old friend, C. G. McMil- lan we this week received the one hun- dred and second anniversary number of the Dayton, Ohio, Daily News publish- ed last Saturday. It is an edition of two hundred and ten pages magnificently printed in colors and artistically illustrat- ed. A good part of it, of course, is de- voted to exploiting the city of Dayton and its various business firms and man- ufacturing enterprises, but it is an anni- versary number worthy of the best. ——A month or more ago the question of asking bids for the repairing of the concrete pavement on north Water street, near the Central Railroad of Pennsylva- nia depot, was brought up in council and the street committee was instructed to go ahead and solicit same. Since that time no report has been made to council of the action of the committee and of course, nothing has been done towards repairing the pavement. The pavement was dam- aged by the high water early in Febru. ary, over four months ago, and ever since has been allowed to lay there, not only an impediment to foot traffic but a place of danger as well. Council should see to it that proper repairs are made as soon as possible so as to make the pavement safe and secure for travel. COP mn. ' ——The baseball situation in Bellefonte J. M.

It began shortly after eleven o'clock with one peal of thunder that was simply ter- riffic and from that time on until four o'clock in the morning it was one storm Jafter another, with thunder rolling like the discharge of a battery of artillery and unusually vivid flashes of lightning. A considerable quantity of rain also fell. It was a peculiar storm so far as its spread over the State was concerned. While it passed over Centre county Friday night it was not until Saturday afternoon that swept down the Susquehanna valley and through the eastern part of the State, hail falling in great quantities.

His health continued to de- cline but the direct cause of his death was paralysis. Deceased was about seventy years old and was born in Ireland, though he came to this country over half a century ago and shortly afterward located in Belle- fonte where he lived up until a year ago. By occupation he was a gardener. He was a devout member of St. John’s Cath- olic church, of this place. His wife died about fifteen years ago but surviving him are a brother, Michael Kelley, of this place, and a sister, Miss Julia Kelley, of Philadelphia. The remains were brought to Bellefonte on Monday morning and taken direct from the train to the Catholic church where the funeral services were held, burial being made in the Catholic cemetery. i I WEAVER. —George B. Weaver, one of the best known residents of Rebersburg, died on Wednesday morning of general debilities. He was born in Miles town- ship and was 88 years and 10 months old. He was a farmer by occupation but in 1868 he retired from the farm and since then had been a resident of Rebersburg. In politics he was a Democrat and fre- quently was elected to and filled various township offices. He was a member of the Reformed church all his life and was a man highly respected in the community in which he lived. In January, 1840, he was united in marriage to Miss Sallie Harper, who died a number of years ago. Their three children survive, as follows: Mrs. S. Krumrine, Mrs. C. L. Gramley and Miss Della Weaver, all of Rebersburg. Rev. Frank Wetzel will officiate at the funeral which will ‘be held tomorrow burial to be made in the Union cemetery at Rebersburg. i i MiLLER—Margaret, relict of the late Major W. H. Miller, died at her home in Boalsburg on Monday morning at eleven o'clock after a long illness of tuberculosis, Her maiden name was Klechner and she was born in Union county seventy-eight years ago. - By that union she had a large family of children, of whom the follow- ing survive: Jacob Reish, of Rock Springs; Mrs. J.

In the collection are the follow- ing: “Hon. Austin Furst,” “Rachael L. Meek,” “Wilson,” "W. C. T. U.,” “Elks,” “Firemen,” "D.

It is inscribed as follows: “In loving memory of her husband, William Potter Wilson, and of her father, Rev. James Linn, D.

In the past six months he has given it a thorough over- hauling and made some improvements on the machinery which gives it more power, speed and durability, and makes it run had it repainted a dark red and now feels. that he has amachine which would prove | a good seller. In fact he has had several | orders for one but is not in shape now to manufacture them. But he is not at all main corridor of the court house and with the new marble tile floor it presents a very much different appearance. The marble steps are now being put on the rear stairway and the front or main stair- ways are here and ready to put up. Of course there is still a whole lot of work todo in the various offices and on the second floor of the new part and it will be weeks yet before the building is fully completed. R. B. Taylor is putting down the concrete work around the building and has it so far under way that the sur- roundings are greatly improved, and show just how great will be the change when the concrete slopes next the streeton each side of the building are put in and the space in the rear concreted. Of course it will require several coats of paint on matter settled finally. It may be neces- sary to yield a point or two but as it is for the good of Bellefonte why not do it and have the matter over with so that work can be resumed and the road built as rapidly as possible. At any rate it is up to both sides to get affairs adjusted so | that something can be done instead of al- lowing the streets to remain indefinitely in the present torn-up condition. PLAY CARDS FOR HOSPITAL BENEFIT.— Considering the warm weather the card party given in the hall of the public building on Howard street, on Tuesday evening, for the benefit of the Bellefonte hospital was a marked success. About one hundred and thirty people were pres- ent and some thirty tables of bridge, five hundred, euchre and hearts were made up. The same evening there were two private parties for the same purpose, one of two tables of five hundred in charge of Miss Boalich and one of flinch at the home of Mrs. Furst. The first prize winners were Mrs. W. Fred Reynolds, Mrs. J. J. Kilpatrick, Mrs, John Larimer, Mrs. W. H. Cox, of Frank- lin; Miss Rebekah Jacobs, Wells L. Dag- gett, Edmund Hayes and Donald Potter. The booby prizes were won by Mrs. J. L. Spangler, Mrs. J. H. Gross and Miss Wini- fred M. Gates. The committee in charge desire to ex- press their thanks to Mr. Hunter, of The Index, Montgomery & Co., Katz & Co, the Potter-Hoy Hardware Co.. and The Basket Shop for prizes donated, and to Christ Beezer, Frank Bartley, R. B. Tay- lor, W. H. Macker, the John Meese store and Lewis Carpeneto for favors rendered. Mrs. John Curtin and Mrs. J. Thomas Mitchell were the committee in charge and the net receipts from the main party were sixty-five dollars. The receipts from Miss Boalick’s party were $8.00, from Mrs. Furst's gathering $7.00 and a contribution of $20.00 from a friend made a grand total of $100.00, —— A nn OF INTEREST TO AUDITORS.—The Legis- lature of 1909 passed an Act relating to the official duties of boards of township and borough auditors and among them are the unequivocal statements that upon the completion of their work of auditing the accounts a printed copy must be post- ed in at least five public places within the district covered by the report and that a certified copy must be filed in the office of the prothenotary. For failure to com- ply with this last provision of the Act a fine of one hundred dollars is imposed. This relates not only to the county audi- tors but all the borough and township auditors in Centre county as well as the entire State. Although all the auditors have completed their work and made up their accounts weeks ago so far not a single board has filed its account in the prothonotary’s office. This omission is hardly due to neglect or a wish to disre- gard the law but most likely is because of the auditors being ignorant of the fact that such a law was passed. It would be well, however, for them to look it up and bility of having to pay a one hundred dollar fine. HecLA PARK DANCEs.—The first of the season's concerts and dances at Hecla park will take place on Friday, June 24th, sion rates of 25 cents each for half tick- ets will obtain from Bellefonte to the park and return.

Pennington, of State Col- lege. Only the members of the two fam- ilies were present as witnesses to the ceremony which tcok place at eleven o'clock, and was performed by Dr. Thomas S. Wilcox, of the Methodist church. The young couple were attend. ed by Miss Emma Smith, the bride's sis- ter, as bridesmaid, and Harry Pennington, | a brother of the bridegroom, as best man. | Miss Bertha Strohmeyer, of Centre Hall, played the wedding march. The decora- tions were fine. Following the ceremony an elaborate wedding dinner was served to all the guests. Mr. and Mrs. Penning- Chas. W. were taken as guests of the Motor club on a delightful ride and entertained royal- lyat Willow Grove. The latter part of the program could be omitted but with the many motors in town a great deal of pleasure could certainly be afforded and the novel experience would more than offset the loss of the longed—for—fire- cracker. ——Clean-up day Wednesday and Thursday of next week. i — — Marriage Licenses.

Sankéy and Mrs. Jean- nette Riddell, which took place at the par- sonage of the United Brethren church by the pastor, Rev. W. G. Fulton. The bride is a daughter of Archy Bathgate, of South Philipsburg, and is a most esti- mable woman. The bridegroom has been chief of police of Philipsburg for a long term of years and is celebrated as being a terror to the evil doers of that section. They at once went to housekeeping in Mr. Sankey’s own home. SHAY—PRESSLER.—Oscar M. Shay, of Milesburg, and Miss Anna E.
