invited up and after all were made as
comfortable as possible Dr. Schmidt acted
as their spokesman and said there were
three things they would like council to
co-operate with them in having abated.
They were compelling all stores to keep
closed on Sunday, a more strict enforce-
ment of the curfew law in keeping the
habitual street walkers off the streets
and the enforcement of the law against
the sale of cigarettes to minors. They
asked that a plain clothes policeman be
employed for the above purpose and even
offered to bear part of the expense of his
salary. The matter was referred to the
Fire and Police committee for investiga-
tion and report.
Complaint was made about the barrels
of refuse and dirt allowed to stand on
the street over Sunday and the street
commissioner was instructed to notify
merchants that same must be removed
every Saturday night.
In the bills presented to council was
one for $650 from Frank E. Naginey,
who claimed that amount as damages by
having the wind shield on his automobile
broken by driving into an open gutter on
Linn street. No action was taken on the
bill and it was not ordered paid. Bills to
the amount of $447.44 were approved
after which council adjourned.

——William Bartiey was down on his
farm, on the Jacksonville road, this week
helping his son with his haying and har-
vesting. On Wednesday afternoon he
was on a load of hay and in going across
a small bridge one of the rear wheels of
the wagon slipped off the bridge and Mr.
Bartley was thrown off the load to the
ground. Two of his ribs were broken
and he was otherwise injured. He was
cared for at his son's home until yester-
day afternoon when he was brought to
Bellefonte in the ambulance and taken to
his home on Bishop street.
——Centre Hall is either a very wicked
town or some of its residents are extreme

incident of the careless firing of a gun or
revolver and on Monday of this week
Russell Smith, son of Witmer Smith, of
this place, who is spending his vacation
with his grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Isaac
Smith, at Centre Hall, was shot through
the left hand by the supposedly acciden-
tal discharge of a revolver in the hands
of a boy whose identity is unknown.
Smith with a number of other boys was
on the mountain above Centre Hall when
they came across the strange boy with
the revolver. The latter fired one shot at
a mark and while handling the revolver
afterward it was discharged with the

what had happened the unknown boy
skipped and has not been dizcoverad or
identified.
erly appeased their hunger the meeting
reconvened with Mr. Foster in the chair
and Hard P. Hanis presented a resolution
on the death of W. Herdic Wood, director |
of the Repasz band, Williamsport, which
was adopted. The president then ap- |
pointed the following committees:
Finance.~J. R. Thompson, A. C. Min-

Management.—J. C. Meyer, J. W. Con-
ley, G. W. Mason.
The committee on closing was dis-
continued as their efforts in the past to
induce business men to close up on picnic
day had not been very successful. The
Finance committee reported that six hun-
dred dollars would be available to bear
the expenses of the picnic and furnish
amusement for the crowd. A vote of
thanks was extended to Frank Warfield,
of the Central Railroad of Pennsylvania,
and to landlord H. S. Ray for courtesies
extended.

ent were as follows: G. W. Mason, P. P.

BELLEFONTE SCHOOL NEWS.—The Belle-
fonte public schools will open for the fall
term on Monday, September 5th (Labor
day.) At a meeting of the school board
on Monday evening Joseph R. Shultz, of
Sunbury, was elected as an assistant in
the High school and will teach science
and have charge of the athletics. He
comes to Bellefonte well recommended.
He is a graduate of Bucknell and since
has been assistant principal in the Jean-
ette High school.
At Monday night's session the school
board also awarded the contract for the
concrete pavement and walks at the new
High school building to the Haupt broth-
ers, they being the lowest bidders. The
work will be done by the foot and in the
aggregate will amount to from $700 to
$750. ‘
When school opens the new building
will be ready for occupancy. The con-
tractors will practically finish all the car-
penter work on the building in the next
ten days or two weeks. About all that
remains to be done is the hanging of a
few inside doors and putting up the doors
at the various entrances. During the
past week four or five new cabinets were
received and installed in the big labora-
tory on the third floor where the stu-
dents of the High school will be drilled
in laboratory work. This is an equip-
ment heretofore badly needed and will
add greatly to the practical work in the
school. Electric clocks have been install-
ed in every school room in the building
and all are connected with a master's
clock in the principal's room. Every
room is also connected with the princi-
pal’s room with a call bell so that he can
be reached without being sent after.
There is still some painting to do and of
course considerable cleaning up around
the building and then it will be ready for
the installation of the seats and desks.
The heating and ventilating system has
not yet been connected up but that will
only be a matter of a few days work.
Of course there is considerable filling
and grading to do around the building
but it can be done anytime during the
summer and fall.

——The flouring mill of Gamble,
Gheen & Co., in this place is being re-
modeled throughout. The old rolls with
one or two exceptions have been torn
“| out and new rolls will be installed. The
old equipment, while all right for the
manufacture of fall wheat, was not suita-
ble for manufacturing spring wheat and
this naturally was a great disadvantage
to the firm. The new machinery being
installed will be suitable for both spring
and fall wheat. While the remodeling to
the mill is being done a concrete cover-
ing is being put over the tail race and
various other repairs and improvements
made which will put the property in first
class shape.
