When Mr. BERRY was a candidate for State Treasurer in 1905 he had the nomi- nation and united support of the Demo- cratic party, the Prohibition party and the Lincoln Republican party. He had also the earnest and enthusiastic support of every Democratic paper in the State, of which there were at the time 146; 32 of the 45 independent papers had his name up and every Prohibition journal in the Commonwealth advocated his election. Now he is the nominee of a lot of self- constituted delegates, without even the semblance of an organized party back of them. A crowd of disgruntled politicians without name or head; a little mob of would-be bosses, without an organization in a single county in the State, and that in three-fourths of the counties has not enough of sympathizers to make even the skeleton of an organization. In the bal- ance of the counties it has as its princi- pal supporters a lot of political “has beens,” who couldn't if they would, or- ganize and maintain a party through a In place of the 178 influential and earn- est newspapers giving him every influ. ence they possessed, as he had in 1905, Mr. BERRY has now a beggarly seventeen, nine of which have heretofore professed to be Democratic, and the other eight have been known as Independents. Some of these have had courage enough to put up his name and intelligence sufficient to tell their readers why they are for him. Quite a difference in the outlook, is there not? Is it any wonder that the people are beginning to suspect that Mr. BERRY is being used as a tool, and a most pitiable one, by the PENROSE machine? All that he can, and will be able, to do, will be to lessen—to the extent of the vote given him—that which would have otherwise been cast for Senator GRIM, and thus aid in securing the election of Mr. TENER, the PENROSE candidate. What a difference in the prospects as well as the purposes of the WiLLiaM H. BERRY of 1905 and the WiLLiAM H. BER- RY of 1910. Not a Matter to Boast of. Mr. BERRY boasts that the "Keystone party"—as his crowd of kickers call themselves—will have an "abundance of funds” to prosecute a most vigorous campaign. Mr. MAPES, who is acting as secretary of that crowd, puts the amount they will have to spend at a hundred thousand dollars, ($100,000). Weshouldn't wonder. In 1878, this was exactly the amount the CAMERON-QUAY Machine put up to organize and aid the MASON move- ment that took enough of votes from AUDREW DILL, the Democratic candidate for Governor, to ensure the election of HoyT. And the same scheme seems to be working this year. If Mr. BERRY can draw enough of Democratic and disgust- ed Republican votes from Mr. GRIM to make certain the election of Mr. TeNEsR; it will be worth all of $100,000 to the PENROSE Machine. It can well afford to put up that amount to foster and strengthen the BERRY movement, as it is the surest, easiest and cheapest way that could be devised to guarantee the elec- tioon of the Machine nominee for Gover- nor. But if we were Mr. BERRY or Mr. MAPES we wouldn't boast about the amount we were being paid for the dirty work we were attempting to do. After a life that had been so remark- able and the golden sunshine of its clos- ing days so congenial and placid the tragic passing of the Hon. S. R. ‘PEALE, of Lock Haven, seems tragedy itself. Within a few days of hiseightieth birthday anniversary, retaining to a re- markable degree every faculty and a keen interest in all about him the wan- ing of his life was most ideal. Aggress- ive, forceful and brilliant as were the times of his successes as a jurist, a politician and a business man his real ——1If there was anything wrong in the | | nomination of Mr. GRIM, it was strange { that Mr. BONNIWELL, Mr. BERRY'S chief | backer moved AND VOTED to make that | nomination unaminous. It was also equally strange that Mr. BERRY should, | receiving the nomination, and pledge him hisearnest support. Possibly the $100,000 | campaign funds that the Keystone crowd is boasting of, is what made the work of the Allentown convention look wrong to these two patriots, both of whom had endorsed its work, and made themselves responsible for whatever was done there. ~The Robbin’s circus, which will ex- hibit in Bellefonte next Thursday, carries an areoplane and each day it flies on the show grounds. This will be a real novel- ty for most Centre county folks. Flying machines are occupying the attention of the civilized world just now and the well informed person ought to know how they fly. ADDITIONAL LOCAL NEWS. KELLER.—James A. Keller, one of the best known men in Centre county, died at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Frank Fisher, at Penn Hall, yesterday morning. About a month ago he was stricken with paralysis and a second stroke a few days later rendered his condition so serious that there was no hope of his recovery and his death yesterday was the result. Deceased was born on the old Keller homestead farm near Centre Hall on June 10th, 1843, hence was 67 years, 1 month and 25 days old. He was a son of John H. and Rachel Alexander Keller. When a boy he attended school at Plum Grove and later attended the Tuscarora Academy and Dickinson Seminary. At the age of seven- teen he obtained a teacher's certificate and taught one term in Boggs township. Shortly after the breaking out of the war he went home to assist his father on the farm and that was the beginning of a long life as a tiller of the soil and an advocate of farmer's rights. After his marriage he farmed the old homestead under a lease and in 1876 he bought one-half of it and the following year erected the brick house which was his home up until less than a year ago when he went to live with his daughter. Mr. Keller was a man who enjoyed to the utmost the confidence and esteem of his neighbors, which was shown in the fact that he was at various times honored by election to township office until he had filled almost every one in the district. When the Grange was organized years ago he was among its first and foremost advocates and had always continued an ardent member. For years he was sec- retary of the Grange fire insurance com pany. He was a member of the Reform- ed church and a prominent Mason and a stockholder in the Pennsvalley Banking company. On January 8th, 1867, he was united in marriage to Miss Charlotte Klechner, of of Mifflinburg. To them six children were born five of whom survive, as fol- lows: David K., on the farm near Centre Hall; Mrs Frank Fisher, of Penn Hall; J. H., a minister located at Hickory, North Carolina; Christian D., of Penn Hall, and William F., a rural mail carrier at Centre Hall. Mrs. Keller died a number of years ago. The funeral will be held Sunday morn- ing; meet at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Frank Fisher, at Penn Hall, at nine o'clock, when the remains will be taken to Centre Hall for burial, the services to be beld in the Reformed church in that place, conducted by his pastor, Rev. Dan- iei Gress. I i LopATO.—About five o'clock last Fri- day evening Agostino Lodato, the Sicilian fruit dealer and green groceryman, died at his home on the corner of Allegheny and Bishop streets. About two weeks previous he attended a horse sale at the Haag stables and while sitting on the fence was stricken with apoplexy and fell backwards to the ground. He was taken home and lingered between life and death until the end came last Friday. { He was born in Sicily and was fifty-one | years old. He with his family came to | Bellefonte from Niagara Falls last Octo- ber and embarked in the green grocery business in the Brown building on Bishop street. Later he bought out Vince Bauer on High street and put his son-in-law in charge of that store. He was a man of congenial and affectionate disposition jand was much esteemed by those who i knew him. He is survived by his wife | and four children, namely: Mrs. Isaac i Lodato, Salvoratore, Mary and Lugi. The | funeral was held on Monday morning from the Catholic church, burial being made in the Catholic cemetery. i i GeNTzEL—On Thursday night, July 21st, Mrs. Harriet Gentzel, widow of the late Daniel Gentzel, died at her home near Cross church, in Georges valley, after a protracted illness. Her maiden name was Harriet Harter and she was born in Penn township sixty-eight years iago. Of her nine children seven survive as follows: Benjamin, of Wolf's Store; Edgar, of Linden Hall; Moyer and Gro- ver Cleveland, of Spring Mills; Herbert ' and Miss Katie, at home.

Mr. Peale was | the general solicitor of the new road from 1882 until 1895. He had charge of the purchase of the right of way for the Beech Creek railroad. He was instru. mental in organizing large and prosper- ous coal interests affiliated with the New York Central lines. Mr. Peale was very well known in| Bellefonte as he frequently practiced in the Centre county courts. The last time he was here was on the occasion of the funeral of the late ex-Judge John G. Love and at that time he appeared in robust health. He was a man of a most genial | and winning personality and his unfortu- | nate death is a source of the deepest re- gret among an unusually wide circle of | acquaintances. He was a member of St. Paul's Episcopal church of Lock Haven and was always very active in all church | and Sunday school work. He is survived by his widow and six chil- | dren, as follows: Rembrant, of the well | known coal firm of Peale, Peacock & Kerr, of New York city; John, also of New York city, and Frank, who resides at Summit, N. J, but has law offices in New York city; Mrs. Frank B. Towne, of Holyoke, Mass., and the Misses Martha and Eliza- beth, at home. | The funeral will take place this (Fri. | day) afternoon at 2.30 o'clock from the Episcopal church in Lock Haven. Inter- ment will be made in Highland cemetery and will be private. i I t KEerN.—Following a lingering illness of over a year with Bright's disease Samuel Kern died at the home of his son Harry, on east Howard street, at two o'clock on Sunday morning. He had been confined to bed for about four months. He was born near Madisonburg on Tebruary 29th, 1848, hence was 62 years, 5 months and 2 days old. He came to Bellefonte years ago and for years was employed as a gardener around town. Later he was employed as a janitor in Crider’s Exchange. He was a member of the United Evangelical church since ear- ly manhood. His wife died several years ago but surviving him are one son, Har- ry, with whom he made his home, and two daughters, Mrs. T. F. Meyer and Mrs. Harry Auman, both of Millheim. Rev. J. F. Hower conducted the funeral services which were held at his late home on Tuesday morning, burial being made in the Union cemetery. i i GROVE.—Mrs. James Grove died quite suddenly at her home in Spring Mills last Saturday morning. She had not been well for several months but was able to be up and about and superintend her houshold affairs. On Saturday morn- ing while talking tc her husband she suddenly fell from the chair on which she was sitting to the floor and expired al- most immediately. Heart failure was as. signed as the cause. Surviving her are her husband,one son, Gardner Grove, of Penn Cave, and two daughters, Mrs. Brungart, of Brush val- ley, and Miss Grace at home. The fun- eral was held on Tuesday, burial being made in the Union cemetery at Farmer's Mills. ed those who gathered at the wreck to care for the other injured first. While doing so the wreckage caught fire and the flames rapidly spread to where Wil- liams was pinned fast. He called to the workmen to save him but they were un- able to do so and he was burned to death. He was about thirty-five years old and is survived by his wife, his parents and a number of brothers and sisters. The re- mains were brought to the home of his parents at Martha on Monday evening and the funeral was held on Tuesday afternoon. RoBBINS' CIRCUS NEXT THURSDAY.— Thursday of next week, August 11th, will be show day in Bellefonte and Frank A. Robbins’ combined circus and menagerie will be the attraction. While Mr. Rob- bins does not claim to have the biggest show on earth he does claim to carry an aggregation which will give an entirely satisfactory program and please the hun- dreds of people who daily crowd the tents to see the show. By consulting the ad- vertisement in to-day's paper you will observe that he will introduce a number of acts never before seen in Bellefonte. This show has exhibited in many of the surrounding towns and has in every in- stance received the commendation of press and public. A BAD AccipDENT.—Charles VanGordon, a young man working on the farm of Harvey Geiser, just below Hublersburg, fell from the hay mgw to the barn flocr and was injured so badly that he is now in the Bellefonte hospital and it is feared he will not recover. The young man was in the mow pitching hay and in stepping backwards stepped right into the hay hole falling through and alighting on his head on the floor. He was rendered un- conscious and a physician being summon- ed found him in convulsions and suffer- ing with concussion of the brain. He was brought to the Bellefonte hospital yesterday morning, his condition at this writing being extremely critical. McCoy—TURNER.—A wedding celebrat- ed at the parish house of St. John's Cath- olic church last Thursday evening was that of Charles J. McCoy and Miss Car- rie Mae Turner, both of this place. Rev. Father McArdle performed the ceremony in the presence of only a few intimate friends as witnesses. The bride is a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. H. E. Turner while the bridegroom is a son of Mr. and Mrs. Charles McCoy and is employed by the Bellefonte Steam laundry. : ——— A ———————— LANNEN—YOUNG—]. Frank Lannen, of Fleming, and Miss Flora E. Young, of Bellefonte, were quietly married in Miles- burg Thursday evening of last week by justice of the peace Thomas B. Johnson. They will make their home in Fleming and have the best wishes of their many friends for their future happiness. —If anybody in Bellefonte wants a nice, dear little rattlesnake they can probably get one by calling on Harry Badger, at Twitmire's stove store. He was down Bald Eagle valley yesterday and in the vicinity of Beech Creek he came across one of these pets and in order to get it he had to kill it. It meas- ured a little over four feet and had eleven rattles and a button. He brought the dead reptile home in order to have the requisite proof of his prowess. SENATOR PEALE DEAR. —Senator S.R.| STEINKIRCHNER—The venerable Joseph | | Peale, of Lock Haven, died in the hospital | Steinkirchner died at Cooper, Clearfield —(Of Monday evening about thirty- five friends of Mrs. John Guisewhite gave her a delightful birthday surprise party. Of course it would be telling secrets to say just what anniversary she celebrat- ed, but she couldn't have been more pleased had it been her sixteenth instead of one of a little more mature age. Re- | freshments were served during the even. ing and everybody had a most enjoyable time. Among the guests were Mrs. Guisewhite’s sister, Mrs. Luther Dale and three children, of Peru. ~The trout fishing season closed last Saturday and among the Bellefont- | ers who could not resist the inclination : for a last cast in the waters of Fishing ! creek were Dr. Kilpatrick, George R Meek and John Curtin. The former went down in the morning and succeeded in landing sixteen trout though none of them were large, hence he considered it a poor day's catch. George R. Meek got eight and one of them was thirteen inches long, the largest trout he caught during the season. And it was hooked the very last cast he made when it had grown so dark he could hardly see to iand it. ~—Col. Edward R. Chambers on Mon- day moved into the office recently occu- pied by the late ex-Judge Love and has again hung out his shingle for the practice of law. The Colonel has had quite a pro- longed spell of sickness, lasting over two or more years, but has now recovered to that extent that he has every reason to believe he is going to get entirely well, and at least considers himself able to re- sume the practice of his profession. That the Colonel has recovered his health to this extent is gratifying to his friends as well as his family and it is the sincere hope of all that he be fully restored to health. Lg —Bear in mind the fact that the big Centre and Clinton county business men’s picnic will be held on Tuesday, August 23rd, and that the time is only a little over two weeks off. The above date has been selected because it will not only be as good a one as can be selected for bus- iness men but it will be about the most convenient time possible to choose for the farmers who want to attend. They will be through with their harvesting and it will be too early for seeding so that they can easily afford to take a day off. A good program of sports is being ar- ranged for the day, full information of which will be given in due time. ——0On Wednesday morning G. Fred Musser accompanied Col. W. Fred Rey- nolds to his peach orchard in Benner township to see how the fruit is matur- ing and also to see that the sorters were in good condition, as it is expected that the early fruit will be in shape to begin picking by August 20th. Mr. Musser states that the fruit this year is large and in exceptionally fine condition. In the orchard are eight thousand fruit bear- ing trees, many of which will yield three bushels or over of peaches, while none of them will yield less than two bushels, so that from eighteen to twenty thousand bushels is considered a very conservative estimate of the crop. A large number of pickers will be required to handle the fruit when it is ready to market. ——The public in general has been criticising contractor R. B. Taylor for his slowness in building the state road through Bellefonte and from an outside viewpoint there seems good reason for it. But Mr. Taylor has had a lot to contend with and he has not yet gotten contracts with the borough for all the road and curbing. He went to work on that por- tion of the road on north Water street and after getting his foundation of crush- ed stone on and ready for the asphalt cov- ering the oil he had purchased was con- demned and could not be used. Whether this was his fault or not is not known, but this condemnation has delayed the finish- ing of that portion of the road from the lime kilns on the pike to Rhoads’ corner. However, other oil has been ordered and is expected here in a few days and as soon as it is received the completion of the road will be rushed through as fast as possible to Spring street, soasto open the traffic that way and do away with the round-about route on the back road. ——Enough of the wheat crop has been threshed to show that while it can not be said to be a bumper crop it is still a good one and farmers will have no reason to complain over their success this year. The hay crop was probably one of the bulkiest cut in years, though the grass was quite coarse in most places and consequently the yield per ton is not unusual. The oats crop is good, the corn is looking well and the indications are for an enormous yield of potatoes, so that on these crops there is nothing to kick about. The ap- ple crop is below the average, generaily speaking, although the yield in some orchards will be very good. And now is the time, when the crops are being gar- nered, to select samples of the best of each for exhibition at the Centre county fair when it is held in October. It will be remembered that the exhibition of ag- ricultural products last year was unusu- ally large and fine, probably one of the best ever seen in the county, and it is such exhibitions that contribute largely to the success of any fair. And with such crops as the farmers have had this year this part of the fair in October ought to be one of the biggest features. And there will be no difficulty in making it such if the farmers begin now to se- | lect their exhibits. A BiG FIRE BRICK day was the anniversary of of the Hayes Run fire | is 85x304 feet in dimension and is con- structed of steel and fire brick, well light- ed and ventilated. The crusher and bin building adjoins the main building and is 50x84 feet in size and 40 feet high. Itis also built of brick and steel. The engine and boiler room is 50x50 feet in size. The dry press and ground clay depart ment is located in a separate building, 25x75, three stories high. In this build- ing is a Clearfield dry pan, a Dunlap per- fect clay screen, a large Boyd dry press, with a capacity of 18,000 to 20,000 ma- chine bricks per day. There are also elevators and conveyors in this building. The ground clay is taken from the screen to the cars for shipping by conveyors. The machinery in the hand made de- partment consists of a large Champion crusher, with elevator and conveyor, and two Clearfield wet pans. The power for running the plant con- sists of two large Keeler boilers and a magnificent Nordberg Corliss engine. The electric light plant, which is located in the engine room, is of capacity suffi- cient to light the whole plant as well asthe streets of the town, besides many of the buildings in the place. There are 20 kilns for burning brick, with a capacity of 40,000 bricks each. The storage sheds, which are located convenient to the kilns and railroad sid- ing of the New York Central railroad, are 35x500 feet in size. The capacity of the hand made depart- ment is 25,000 to 40,000 bricks per day and of the machine made brick depart- ment from 15,000 to 20,000 bricks per day. The ground clay department was constructed for the purpose of handling large quantities of finely screened clay to meet the increasing demand for their superior quality of clay. All the clay and coal used is taken from the company’s own mines on the mountain about four miles north of the plant. Quite a num- ber of Bellefonters are financially inter- ested in these works and they are well satisfied with the business being done since the plant started up in February. BiG ANNUAL SHOOT:—Among the im- portant annual events of Central Pennsyl- vania is the tournament of the Lock Haven Gun club, which will be held on August 9th and 10th, and which promises to be the largest local shooting event of the season. Nothing has been left un- done by this hustling club to make the shoot a success in every sense of the word. Two Ideal Legget traps have been installed, rifle range provided, water piped to the club house, and many comforts of the great number of shooters who an- nually attend, and among whom are some of Centre county's best shots, have been anticipated and provided for. The pro- gram should appeal to ali classes of shoot- ers as provisions have been made for the poor as well as the better shot. An ex- traordinary good merchandise event has been provided for each day, and as it will be held under a handicap system, every one has an equal chance for best prizes. The regular entrance, fee including merch- andise event is but{$8.00. The money will be divided $8, $5, $3 $2 and $1 Improved Ross system, which has proven very sat- isfactory. High average money for each day, is 1st $10.00, 2nd $7.50, 3rd $5,00, 4th $2.50, 5th $2.50 and $5.00 for the longest straight run. The events cover 190 tar- gets each day. Remember the date and attend the Lock Haven tournament Au- gust 9th and 10th. ns GG BADLY INJURED IN AUTOMOBILE ACCI- DENT.—A. M. Brovn, of Pennsylvania Furnace, president of the Farmer's Na- tional bank, of Tyrone, was seriously in- jured in an automobile accident in Al- toona last Saturday. Mr. Brown recent- ly purchased a new Buick car from an Altoona agency and not having mastered all the mechanism, was in the Mountain city for the purpose of getting a demon- stration of the machine from an expert driver. Louis Wolfe was at the wheel of Mr. Brown's car and on turning the cor- ner of a street the machine collided with a Regal car driver by S. T. Knox. Mr. Brown's car was turned completely over and he and the driver were not only bur- ied beneath it but dragged twenty feet before the big Regal car was stopped by its driver. Mr. Brown sustained several broken ribs and quite a number of cuts and bruises on different parts of his body. It is also feared he may be injured in- ternally. As he is fifty-eight years of age his injuries may prove more serious even than anticipated, although it is now be- lieved he will recover. Wolfe, the driver of the machine, while badly shaken up, cut and bruised, will be able tobe around in a few days. «Word was received in Bellefonte yesterday of the announcement of the engagement of J. Wallace Reeder, of Claremont, Cal, and Miss Mabelle E. Crawford, of Southern California. Mr. Reeder is a son of the late Col. W. F. Reeder, of this place, and was born and raised in Bellefonte. He has been in California about five years. ——1In view of the recent appearances of the Ben Greet players at State College it will be interesting to note that Mr. Charles Roberts Hopkins, one of Phila- delphia’s wealthiest young men, is to marry Miss Violet Vivian, one of the | Ben Greet company.
