The young man's Bellefonte friends are glad to know that he is get- ting along so well. ——Farmers over in Huntingdon coun- ty are considerably alarmed over an un- known disease which has broken out among their cattle, a number having died recently. Dr. W. H. Fry, the well known veterinarian of Pine Grove Mills, spent several days in the forepart of the week in that county trying to ascertain the nature of the disease, which seems to baf- fle the skill of everybody. —The Tyrone Rod and Gun club have about completed arrangements for the building of a private fish hatchery on their preserve in the upper end of Bald Eagle valley. The plant will likely be lo- cated on the Big Fill run at Gardner sta- tion on the Tyrone and Clearfield rail road and will have a capacity of five thoasand trout yearly. They will use the trout thus hatched in stocking the streams on their preserve, the principal ones of which are Big Fill run and Amy run. WHAT BorouGH COUNCIL Dip. —About as unenviable an office as is held in Bellefonte at the present time is that of a borough councilman, and if some of them at least don't have a nervous breakdown before the state road is completed through Bellefonte it will not be because they are not having trou- ble enough over it. Just seven members were present at the regular meeting of council on Mon- day evening. When the minutes had been read and approved John M. Keichline Esq., presented a petition of a number of residents of Bishop street asking that a sewer be laid on that thoroughfare from the Brick school house down to the vicin- ity of the Catholic church. This, he aver- red, would be absolutely necessary as a protection against injury by surface water to the new state road as well as to the property of residents of that street. The matter was referred to the Street committee. Albert Schad was present and made complaint about the crossings at the junc- tion of Spring and Lamb streets being too low. That during a hard rain they were always under water and generally were left covered with mud and stones washed from the adjacen: hilis. This was also referred to the street commit- tee. A petition from a large number of resi- dents of Bishop street was read setting forth that when the state road is built on that thoroughfare it be built without the curb and gutter as put down on Linn and Allegheny streets, but that the gutters be allowed to remain where they now are. No action was taken in the matter. The ordinance covering the extra width of state road, curb and gutters on west Linn street was taken up for second reading and passed finally. About the only thing of interest any of the committees had to report was by the Finance committee which stated that the assessed valuation of the borough for the current year was $1,906,990. From this a borough tax of three mills would realize $5,105,53; an interest tax of five mills, $8,606,91, and a street tax .of six mills $10,205,95, or a total of $23,818.41 on which to run the borough, not counting the watertax, which will aggregate eight thousand dollars or over. Two new ordinances were presented to council, one to cover the extra width of state road, curb and gutters on Alleghe- ny street and another amending an or- dinance passed several months ago pro- viding that the brick paving from the alley at Parrish’'s drug store to Bishop street be fifty feet in width instead of forty six as provided for in the old ordi- nance. This is by the request of a ma- jority of the property owners in that sec- tion and would necessitate the widening of the pavements only one foot instead of three. A resolution presented by Mr. Yeager passed council providing that along the route of the brick paved portion of the state road all stop-cocks or cut-offs on the water connection with the various build- ings be moved inside the curb line, so that any repairs necessary to same could be made without tearing up paved street. Bills to the amount of $1,366.11 were passed and council adjourned. coe BELLEFONTE'S BASEBALL AGONY OVER. —The Mountain league season closed last Saturday and Bellefonte’s baseball agony is now over so far as the general public is concerned. Osceola proved conclusive- ly that she had the strongest team in the league by winning the pennant by agood margin. Bellefonte finished in second place, Clearfield third and Philipsburg at the tail end. As a financial venture there was only one thing to the season, and that was a constant planning and schem- ing to meet expenses, as the team was not self-supporting from the gate re- ceipts, the home attendance being too small. But at that there were some very close and interesting games and good sport was furnished the fans and all lov- ers of base ball. To close the season Bellefonte was to have played two games with Tyrone on Monday but the rain and wet grounds prevented the game here in the morning, consequently the game in Tyrone in the afternoon was the only one played. Tyrone won the game by the score of 8 to 1, and did it so one-sidedly, it is alleg- ed, because she had all the better of the umpire’s decisions. But the Bellefonte management thinks it was handed a big lemon when it came to settling. The agreement was for an equal division of the gate receipts and although the crowd at the game was estimated at from eight to twelve hundred people the Tyrone management maintained that there were not quite five hundred paid admissions and settlement had to be made accord- ingly. But with all that the Bellefonte boys enjoyed their trip and did not re- gret going up. BIG Loss IN PEACHES.—The frequent rains of last week so water-soaked the early peaches in the Col. Reynolds orchard that between four and five thousand bushels fell from the trees during last Saturday's storm and weretotally ruined. The peaches would have been marketed early this week, but Saturday's destruc- tion wound up the early varieties. The fate peaches will not be ready to market for ten days or two weeks. m—— ——Harry E.

Hall, of Linden Hall, lost his pocket book containing forty dollars and did not discover the loss until a telephone message to him at the Old Fort hotel apprised him of the fact that his pocketbook had been found by Perry Breon. It was returned with contents intact and Mr. Hall gave Mr. Breon a reward for his honesty. ——The engagement of Miss Eleanor Harris, only daughter of Mrs. James. Harris, to Robert De Goldier, of Evanston, lll, has been announced by her mother since the coming of Miss Harris and Mr. De Goldier to Bellefonte ten days ago. Miss Harris has been making her home for the past two years with her brother Dr. William Harris, president of the North Western University at Evanston, Ill. ——County commissioners Jacob Wood- ring, H. E. Zimmerman and John L. Dun- lap, with their solicitor, Clement Dale Esq., will go to Wellsboro next week to attend the twenty-fourth annual conven- tion of the commissioners of Pennsylva- nia which will be in session there from Tuesday until Thursday. John L. Dun- lap is treasurer of the association. In- cluded in the program are several ad- dresses in the interest of good roads by prominent speakers. coe ~——Rev. N.A. Whitman has assumed his duties as pastor of the Lutheran church at Rebersburg though he has not yet moved his family there from Rors- burg, Ohio, his former pastorate. Rev. S. C. Stover, of Meyersdale, has been elected pastor of the Boalsburg Reform. ed charge, which includes Boalsburg, Pine Grove Mills, Pine Hall, and Houser- ville, as successor to Rev. A. A. Black, recently resigned. Though he has not yet given a decision it is the general belief that he will accept. or —1In order to facilitate the delivery of mail by carriers the postoffice depart- ment makes the request that all persons either supply a convenient mail box or have a slot cutin their front door for the depositing of mail matter. In many in- stances carriers go to a house, find the door locked and have to ring repeatedly before they get a response thus losing considerable time and not only delaying them but making the delivery of mail to other persons late. It is to obviate this that the department requests the erection of mail boxesor providing some receptacle for the prompt delivery of mail matter. —The days are growing shorter and the eveningsionger but there is nochange in the program at the Scenic. It is no shorter than it was during the summer and will continue to be just as long as ever during the winter. And this also means that it will be just as interesting and entertaining. Always new, bright and fascinating, the pictures shown at the Scenic are superior to those shown at any other stand in the State, for the reason that manager Brown puts a special censor on every night's program, and if the regular circuit pictures are not consid- ered just right they will be discarded and others secured to take their place. Such is the character of the Scenic. —————— ——Last Friday afternoon Frank Men- dis, the seven year old son of Mr. and Mrs. Peter Mendis, was playing in his father’s barn when he found a railroad signal cap. Not knowing its dangerous nature the lad laid it on acrowbar and ex- ploded it by hitting it with a hatchet. The result was that part of the thumb, second and third fingers on his left hand were blown off and he sustained lacerations on various parts of the body. He was taken to the Bellefonte hospital where his injuries were attended to. The only explanation as to how the signal cap got into the stable is that it must have been among some junk purchased by his fath. er and thus deposited in the stable. ~The Ladies Auxiliary of the Belle- fonte hospital will hold a rummage sale in the vacant room in the Bush Arcade the week beginning September 26th. The committee in charge is composed of Mrs. John M. Shugert, Mrs. Joseph Ceader and Mrs. Jennie R. Hastings, and they earnest- ly solicit contributions of cast-off or sec- ond hand clothing, household articles of all descriptions or anything the public will contribute. Such contributionsshould be made the week prior to the sale, or that beginning September 19th, so that everything can be properly arranged. Any- body having anything to contribute and no way of getting it to the room, if the committee is notified they will have it called for. S———— A ws ——— STATE COLLEGE FOOTBALL SCHEDULE. —The management of the State College football team has arranged one of the smallest as well as easiest schedules ever arranged for a white and blue eleven. So far only six games have been positively scheduled, though there are two open dates which will be filled, if possible. The only hard game on the list is the Univer- sity of Pennsylvania, with the University of Pittsburg, Bucknell and Villa Nova next. The schedule is as follows: October 1—Carnegie Tech at State College. MavLicious VANDALISM.—On Monday morning when the janitor opened up the new High school house he made the as- tounding discovery that some miscreant had been in the building Sunday night and tampered with the electric clock. The clock system is from the Howard Electric Clock company, of Hartford, Conn., and is avery intricate and costly one. It consists of a master clock in the office | of the supervising principal, which con- trols a clock in every school room. There is also a box with a dummy clock on which a tape represents the twenty-four hours of the day and this automatically controls the call bells in each rcom, as well as the big gongs on the outside of the building. . On Monday morning the master cleck was found open and stopped and the other box was open and the tape lying on the floor while one of the wires con- necting the big gong on the front of the building was cut. Shortly before nine : o'clock Monday morning Edmund Hayes ! stopped at the school building and told | Mr. Wagner that he had been in the’ building and stopped the clock but that he | did not do any damage to it. He stated | that on his way home about 10.30 o'clock | he found a crowd in front of the building {and the gongs and bells keeping up al- most an incessant ringing. The crowd ! was discussing the fact that something ought to be done to stop the bells and he { undertook to doit. He pushed open a window leading into the boys toilet and in attempting to get in over it stepped through a pane of glass. He avers that when he went into the superintendent's office he found both the clock and box open and the tape on the dummy cleck lying on the floor. That all he did was simply stop the master clock by stopping the pendulum, then opened a window and crawled out. If this statement is correct then someone had been in the building before and taken off the tape which would form a continuous circuit and ac- count for the ringing of the bells. Hayes has been requested to appear before the school board next Monday evening to ex- plain his part in the affair and in the meantime the investigation will continue to discover, if possible, who did the dam- age. It is only about two weeks ago since some person threw a stone through one of the large windows on the north side of the building and anybody guilty of such acts should be severely dealt with. wre — DEDICATORY EXERCISES.—On Friday afternoon and evening of next week the new High school building will be formal- ly dedicated and theschool board has ar- ranged a good and attractive program of exercises. The people of Bellefonte and vicinity are not only invited but urged to be present, and especially in the evening when Hon. David Snedden and Dr. Ed- win Erle Sparks will be the speakers.

A STRIKING PAINTING. —There is now on exhibition in a window of Joseph Bros, store an oil painting of Hon. J. H. Osmer, a prominent attorney of Franklin, that is one of the most striking portraits seen in Bellefonte in a long time. It is the work of the well known portrait painters Antrim and Landsy, of Philadelphia, and reflects great credit on the artist. Itis not only a good likeness but the colors are so soft and harmoniously blended that the picture has a very distinct and life-like appearance. The subject of the picture was born and raised near Belle- fonte and is a brother of Edward Osmer, of this place, and an uncle of Mrs. A. Hibler, who by the way, gave the paint- ers the commission for the picture. This firm has placed a number of pictures in Bellefonte but none of them attracted more attention or favorable criticism tkan this one. ——Mrs. Thomas Shaughensy is very seriously ill at her home on north Thomas street. -.
