Paid before expiration of year - 150 | on January 8th, 1845, hence was 65 years
Paid after expiration of year 200 and 7 months old. He was a member of
| quite an illustrious family, his father for
| years holding the position of collector of
| the port at Philadelphia. He was a grand-
| son of John Norris, the man who started
the first bank in Bellefonte, and a great
grand-son of Judge Brown. His mother
was a member of the old and well known
Comley family, of Philadelphia.
When a young man he studied civil
engineering, an occupation he followed
for some years. He wasa member of the
corps that surveyed the Lewisburg and
Tyrone railroad. When the Bell telephone
company began operations over a quarter
of a century ago he accepted a position
with them as right-of-way agent, a posi-
tion he held until his death. This work
took him all over the country, but during
the past few years his labors were con-
fined to the Central Pennsylvania district
and he made his home with his sister,
Mrs. Norris Bogle, at the Forge house.
He was a member of the Society of
Friends, a man of irreproachable char-
acter and one loved and esteemed by all
who knew him. He is survived by one
brother and two sisters, namely: Charles
Comley Norris, of Philadelphia; Mrs. E.
Norris Bogle and Miss Sarah C. Norris,
of this place. He was an uncle of Charles
C. Norris Jr., adjutant of the First bri-
gade, N. G. P,, Philadelphia, and of J.
Norris Bogle and Miss Sarah C. N. Bogle,
of the Forge house.
Funeral servies were held at his late
home at 10:30 o'clock on Tuesday morn-
ing by Rev. Kunkle, of Milton, and that
afternoon the remains were taken on a
private car to his old home at Milton for
interment.

A Skilfully Baited Trap.
It is altogether probable that of the
votes that Mr. BERRY and the Keystone
ticket will receive, at the coming election,
nine-tenths of them would be cast for
Mr. Grim if that ticket was not in the
field.
It is also probable that that ticket may
poll almost as many votes as Mr. BERRY
had majority in 1905. If it does, how-
ever, it will be a larger vote than present
conditions indicate, but it will simply be
that much more help for the Machine
and that much more certainty of the suc-
cess of the Machine's nominee—TENER.
To take nine votes from Mr. GRiM for
everyone taken from Mr. TENER is a great
scheme for Mr. PENROSE and we don't
wonder that he has quietly promised to aid
in raising the $100,000the Keystone party
boasts it will have to carry on its cam-
paign.
The sooner the Democratic and In-
dependent voters, who contemplate voting
for Mr. BERRY and his Keystone partners,
come to recognize the bunco game that is
being played on them the quicker and
surer they will escape the trap that has
been so well and skilfully baited to catch
them.

HOWE.—Mrs. Julia Ann Howe died at
her home in Philipsburg on Wednesday
of last week after being in frail health
for many months. She was a daughter
of William Philips and was born in Clear-
field county almost eighty-three years.
ago. When but eighteen years of age
she was united in marriage to Robert
Howe and the young couple located in
Philipsburg where they spent the bal-
ance of their lives. Deceased was a
member of the Episcopal church and was
always interested in every work and
movement that had for its aim the im-
provement of the town and the uplifting
of its people.
Her husband died a number of years
ago but surviving her are the following
sons and daughters: Lawrence, of Allport;
C. C, of Kylertown; Ira, of Frulthurst,
Ala.; Mrs. Emigh and Mrs. George Har-
ris, of Parkersburg. The funeral was
held on Friday, interment being made in
the Philipsburg cemetery.
i I
YOUNG.—Charles Young, a son of Mr.
and Mrs. Geo. W. Young, of Nittany, died
in the Clearfield hospital on Monday even-
ing after only about a week's illness with
typhoid fever. He was born at Nittany
and was about thirty-two years old. For
a number of years past he worked on the
railroad with headquarters at Clearfield,
and was always an industrious and well
liked employee. Surviving him are his
wife and three small children; his aged
parents, one brother, Arthur, of Cross
Forks, and the following sisters: Mrs.
George Patterson, of Beech Creek; Mrs.
George Harpster, of Bellefonte; Miss
Maria, at home, and a sister in Pittsburg.
The funeral was held yesterday from his
late home, burial being made at Clear-
field.
The Why of It.
Our neighbor of the Democrat seems
disturbed as to why the Gazette should
show such opposition to the Keystone
party. The editor of the Democrat has
full knowledge of the chief characteristics
of the editor of the Gazette. If he will
just remember that Mr. PENROSE, who is
expected to furnish the funds to finance
the Republican party is also expected, by
the Keystone party, to put up $100,000 to
help along its campaign he will know at
once the reason Mr. HARTER would like
to see the new party, that Mr. Kurtz is
supporting, blotted out. It's existence,
which is intended to divide the Demo-
cratic vote., will take $100,000 out of the
Republican campaign fund. Mr. HARTER
don’t care a bobee whether the Demo-
cratic vote is divided or not, but he
“kicks” like a steer at dividing the mon-
ey, his party would otherwise get, with
any one. That is the why of it? If Mr.
Kurtz's party would only continue its
help to Mr. PENROSE without cost, then
it would be all right. HARTER wouldn't
have a word to say.

AN INTERESTING CASE —On Wednes-
day the case of the Tyrone Rod and Gun
Club against Joseph Reilly, of Osceola
Mills, was heard before justice of the
peace W. H. Musser and the defendant
was fined ten dollars and costs for tres-
passing on the leased lands of the club.
The facts in the case are as follows:
Some time during the year 1909 the
Tyrone club leased from John Thomas,
of Taylor township, this county, the
right to make a preserve out of the
stream that passed through his lands.
They put up trespass notices and claim
that they stocked the stream with trout.
The stream in question had always been
a trout stream and on May 30th and July
14th, Joseph Reilly, of Osceola Mills, fish-
ed the stream without permission from
the club and caught two or more trout.
He was arrested for trespassing and Wed-
nesday’s hearing was the result. The
plaintiff club was represented by J. D-
Hicks, Esq., of Tyrone, while the defend-
ant had as his attorney H.C. Quigley,
Esq, The latter claimed that the stream
had been stocked with fry furnished from
the state hatcheries and could not be
converted into a private preserve. The
plaintiffs maintained that they stocked
the stream with trout secured at private
hatcheries, and under the testimony
*Squire Musser decided the only thing he
could do was to impose a fine. The de-
fendant appealed the case to court.

over to Sheffer’s grocery store, yesterday
morning just as the circus parade came
along, and in her hurry to get out of the
way she slipped and fell, injuring her
right leg. She was taken to the Belle-
fonte hospital and at this writing it has not
been determined whether the leg is brok-
en or dislocated at the knee, though it is
likely the latter.
~——Another week or two of good
weather will see the remodeling of the
court house very near completion. The
tilers have finished their work, the mar-
ble men will be almost through next
week, while the carpenters will finish
their work in a few days. As soon as
the plastering of the exterior is complet-
ed the job will be up to the painters and
it will not take them long to put or the
finishing coats. It will be a great relief
to the county officials to have the job
completed, and it will also be a relief to
where the remains were taken for burial.
The foreigners who did the shooting were
arrested and are now in jail to await
trial.
BUTCHER HAD ENCOUNTER WITH
BLACKSNAKE.—Arthur Riegel, a butcher
of Salona, had quite a thrilling encounter
with a monster blacksnake near Jackson-
ville, this county, on Thursday of last
week. Mr. Riegel was driving along the
road when he saw the reptile and natural-
ly undertook to kill it. He hit it with a
stone and apparently crippled it so it
could not get away then hammered its
head with a stone. This done he suppos-
ed it was dead and was straightening it
out to measure when the tail accidentally
switched against his leg and before he
could help himself the reptile had coiled
around both legs and was giving him the
hardest squeezing he ever had in his life.
Fortunately he had a large clasp knife in
ing, coming here from Lock Haven in
their own train of eleven cars. In unload-
ing and transferring their stuff from the
train to the ground they were very quiet
and gentlemanly. The parade was good
for the size of the show though their wag-
ons showed the wear of a season two-
thirds over. The show was good and clean
throughout and was as much enjoyed by
the crowd in attendance as a big, three
ring aggregation. Joseph H. Hughes is the
press agent with the show, and he was
most courteous and obliging in his treat-
ment of the newspaper people.
——On Wednesday morning word was
telephoned to James I. McClure, in this
place, that his son Lawrence was in Lock
Haven and acting in such a peculiar man-
ner that he had been taken into custody
for his own protection. The young man
had disappeared from home on Tuesday
which grew worse with each succeeding
day. This week she went to the hospital
and submitted to an X-ray examination
which disclosed a broken needle imbed-
ded deep under the flesh and against the
bone, so that it took quite an incision to
remove it.
his pocketand he lost no time in bringing
it into play, while several men who wit-
nessed his predicament went to his
rescue. Mr. Riegel avers that it was the
gamest dead snake he ever encountered
as it had to be literally cut away from
his legs. It measured six and a half feet
in length.
DALE FAMILY REUNION.—The annua)
reunion of the Dale family was held on
the old homestead farm at Oak Hall last
Saturday, and was quite largely attend.
ed. After the gathering and exchange
of greetings in the morning the first thing
of importance was the dinner which was
served promptly at twelve o'clock. Fol-
lowing this the assemblage was called to
order by A. W. Dale, president of the
family reunion association, and the min-
utes of the last meeting read by the sec-
retary, J. S. Dale. A very interesting
historical sketch of the family was read
by Clement Dale Esq, of this place, while
other papers were read by Mrs. Clement
Dale and Arthur C. Dale. During the
afternoon there was music and various
recitations with games and social inter-
course, so that the time passed very
quickly. At four o'clock the
broke up to meet again at the same place

~The merchants of Bellefonte are to
be congratulated upon the appearance of
the pavements last Sunday, due to a little
effort on their part to clear from in front
of their places of business the boxes, bar-
rels, unsightly advertising signs, some of
their wares, etc, which usually litter the
streets, causing Bellefonte to be termed
a beautiful but unkempt town. Ameri-
can towns and cities are said to be the
dirtiest in the world; it is good to be
Americans, but not Americans who lack
the desire to uplift the conditions for beau-
ty and healthfulness in their community.
At the time of our Clean Up day, some
weeks ago, there was united as well as
individual action on the part of the resi-
dents of the town to better its condition,
the result of which has been apparent in
every section, and those who ignored the
earnest appeal have only suffered by con-
trast; it is of them we ask aid, for Belle-
fonte cannot be freed from the domina-
tion of dirt, disorder and ugliness with.
out united action. To our co-workers
we are much indebted; to those who are
indifferent, we hope for a speedy awaken.
ing to their needs.
evening and all efforts to locate him had
been futile until the word was received
from Lock Haven. His brother Samuel
went down and accompanied him back
to Bellefonte on the noon train the same
day. Lawrence stated that he had no
idea how he got to Lock Haven as he
could not remember anything that hap-
pened from the time of his leaving home
until Wednesday forenoon. Fortunately
his lapse of memory, or whatever ailed
him, was only temporary and he is now
his normal self again.

——Notwithstanding the numerous
declarations of the men behind the pro-
ject of the Centre County Traction com-
pany for the building of a trolley road
between Bellefonte and State College that
they meant business it looks now as if
the thing had fallen through. Nothing
material has been done and there is no
indication of anything being done in the
near future; and the fact that the time
limit of their right-away in State College
will expire very shortly and no move has
been made to hold it looks kind of dubious
for the trolley.
