ty in years. The Fair management have
put the grounds and buildings in excel-
finer shape.
A large number of applications have
already been received for space in the
main exhibition building, and if you have
anything worth showing your friends and
neighbors bring it in. Remember a Fair
is not made up of one exhibit but a mul-
| titude of smali exhibits. And the great-
er the number the bigger the Fair. Ex-
perienced people will be in charge of |
every department to see that everything
brought in is properly entered, labeled
and placed most advantageously for dis-
play, so that everybody is assured of fair
| treatment.
——MTrs. James Shorter, who has been | Christ Decker will have charge of the
stock exhibit and as he has been around
among the farmers 2a good deal in the
past few weeks he feels confident that
this department will be well filled; and |
farmers who want to see something nice |
in blooded stock will be able to do so at |
the Fair. |
Of course the crowd will want some |
amusement and this will be found on the |
gambling devices of any kind will be per-
mitted on the ground and the manage-
ment will take every precaution to pro-
tect all who attend.
The races, of course, will be one of the
big features of the week, and while the
entries will not close until tomorrow
night every indication is for a good string
of horses and some fast ones. The var-
ious events have been arranged so that
every day will be 2a good one, and if you
miss one day of the Fair it will mean a
link out of your life.
By the way, the management have very
generously decided to make Wednesday
"Children's day,’ when all children under
sixteen years old will be admitted free.
Isn't this inducement enough for every
father and mother in the county to bring
their children on that day.
It is impossible in this article to tell
you every good thing about next week's
big Fair, but you wil! sure miss a great
exhibit and a good time if you fail to
attend.

TeTANUS KiLLs Boy.—Theodore Haupt,
the fifteen year old son of Mr. and Mrs.
Theodore Haupt, who live out near the
Jewish cemetery, died on Sunday even-
ing of tetanus (lockjaw) as the result of
potato fork. It was three weeks or more
ago when young Haupt with his nephew,
a boy named Tate, were in the potato
patch digging potatoes. An altercation
arose between the boys and Tate jabbed
Haupt on the right leg with the fork ke
was using in digging potatoes. One of
the tines of the fork cut through the
boy's clothes and made 2 small abrasion
on the knee.
He thought little of the injury at the
time but about a week later his knee be-
came quite sore and painful and a phy-
sician was summoned. Symptoms of
blood poison had developed and the
wound was opened and cauterized. The
lad apparently improved and last Thurs-
day was able to be around and even
walked over to the slaughter house. He
was taken worse on Friday and by Sat-
urday tetanus had developed and it was
evident to the attending physician that
nothing could be done to save his life,
though everything possible was done to
lessen the suffering of his last hours and
he died shortly before ten o'clock on
Sunday evening.
In addition to his parents he is surviv-
ed by a number of brothers and sisters.
The funeral was held on Wednesday
morning, burial being made in the Union
cemetery.
AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENT. —On Tuesday
afternoon Samael Goss, accompanied by
his mother and a Miss Campbell went to
State College in George A. Beezer's new
E-M-F automobile. At the College they
picked up W. E. Tyson, who was anxious
to get down to Bellefonte in time to take
the 4.44 train for his home in Tyrone.
Goss drove down the back road to Pleas-
ant Gap and owing to the frequent rains
the roads were muddy and slippery. After
he had gotten out onto the pike in Pleas-
ant Gap he was driving along at a
twenty-five mile clip when he noticed the
big breaker opposite the Lutheran church
in that town. He applied the brakes in
order to slow up when the car, which was
being driven without chains, skidded and
ran into the fence on the right, tearing
down two panels of fence, smashing one
wheel to pieces, the car finally turn-
ing over on its side and throwing all the
occupants out. Fortunately no one was
hurt, beyond a few bruises and scratches.
T. S. Strawn happened along there short-
ly after the accident and picked up the
two ladies and Mr. Tyson and brought
them to Bellefonte in his car. Later in
the evening young Goss borrowed a wheel.
Robert F. Hunter took it out to Pleas-
ant Gap and put it on the machine and
drove it home.

——There will be a special train back
through Pennsvalley on Thursday of the
Fair. It will leave here after the events
of the afternoon are over and run through
as far as Coburn stopping at all points.
Wednesday will be free day for children
under 16 years of age. Friday the great
county race will be run, but on Thursday
the big crowd will be there as usual. The
program will be the same each day so
far as amusements and exhibits are con-
cerned.
-—September has been a month of
many rains and Sunday most every por-
tion of Centre county was deluged. Early
in the afternoon a terrific rain and hai
storm passed over Snow Shoe and Bald
Eagle valley in the neighborhood of How-
ard. While the rain descended in tor-
rents and quite a quantity of hail fell it
didn't do any particular damage. Sun-
day evening about six o'clock a hard
rain passed over Bellefonte, Nittany and
Pennsvalley. The rain continued Sunday
night with frequent showers on Monday.
——Miss Elsie Haagan, of Beech Creek
but who has many friends in Bellefonte,
was a big winner in the voting contest of
the Clinton county Times and had the
privilege of naming the chaperone who
will accompany the three winners on
their trip to Bermuda. Miss Haagan had
a total vote of 357,826, or over eighty
thousand more than the next highest
vote. The Clinton county young ladies
and the Centre county young ladies, who
won out in the Gazette contest, will leave
on their trip on October 19th. The trip
will last two weeks.

——The only thing to do next week is
to attend the fair during the day and the
Scenic at night. This will make up a
program that will keep your time well
occupied. You may not know in advance
what you will see at the fair but you are
sure to see a bunch of good pictures at
the Scenic. Manager T. Clayton Brown
will make a special effort to have an un-
usually good program every night next
week, so that you will have to bea regular
attendant if you don’t want to miss some-
thing good. The popular price of five
cents prevails at all times.
——W. R. Brachbill recently received
and now has on exhibition in the show
window of his furniture store on Spring
street the furniture for the judge’s room
in the new court house. It includes a
desk, two office chairs, a large davenport,
one big cosy chair and nine small chairs.
The wood is all solid mahogany and the
upholstering of the chairs and davenport
is in dark blue standard leather. The
casters and other metal trimmings are all
in solid brass. Mr. Brachbill also fur-
nished the district attorney's office with
solid oak furniture in natural finish.
——The county race at the Fair next
week promises much of the fun and ex-
citement it aroused the time Henry
Lowry, Mr. Woodring and that crowd
had such a thrilling contest. There are
five starters already assured for the event
and more will probably come in so that it
looks as if it would be the best filled race
at the Fair. Christ Beezer, George Sun-
day and Mart Cooney are the Bellefonters
who are going to start and Tommy Wil-
liams, of Pleasant Gap, and Mr. Shuey, of
Houserville, each think they own a step-
per that will make others go some to get
under the wire first. This race will be
Friday afternoon. It will be a fair field
of purely county horses and may the best
one win.
——There are two cases of diphthe-
ria at Centre Hall. The first to contract
the disease was Miss Savilla Rearick,
daughter of Mrs. Mary Rearick. The
latter's grand-daughter, Miss Helen
Moyer, a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Isaac
Y. Moyer, of Cleveland, Ohio, who was a
visitor at the Rearick home, also con-
tracted the disease. Both cases are quite
malignant, though at this writing no fatal
termination is anticipated. When Miss
Moyer became ill her father and mother
were notified and both came to Centre
Hall. The mother is helping nurse her
daughter and sister though Mr. Moyer
did not enter the Rearick home. An un-
fortunate incident in connection with the
above affliction is that John Rearick, a
son of Mrs. Mary Rearick, came in from
Sparks, Nevada, on a visit to his mother,
whom he had not seen for eleven years,
only to find the house quarantined and he

FONTE MERCHANTS.—Petro Neroni, the
Italian cobbler who the past six months
had a shop in the small room in the base-
ment of the Bush Arcade, on Water
street, is missing and so is upwards of
two thousand dollars belonging to Belle-
Neroni was fairly well educated and
could talk and understand English. Some
time after coming to Bellefonte he made
the rounds of the Bellefonte merchants
as interpreter for other Italians who
worked hereabouts, some of whom kept
boarding houses. He made arrangements
with various merchants to sell goods to
his fellow countrymen and as he could
talk English arranged for the goods to
be charged to him and he would collect
the money for same from the balance of
over the money to the merchants and
several weeks ago when some of them
began to press him a little for payment
Neroni suddenly disappeared. About a
drove to Milesburg in a closed cab and
left on the night train for New York city.
Probably ten or a dozen merchants in
Bellefonte were victimized by Neroni in
sums ranging from twenty-five to almost
one hundred dollars, while he got in on
the Italian Produce company, of Lock
Haven, for over two hundred dollars, the
Castena brewery for almost two hundred
and a number of other Lock Haven peo-
ple for big sums. All told he is alleged
to have gotten away with over two thous-
and doliars, eight hundred of which was
fleeced out of Bellefonte merchants.
As soon as it was learned that Mrs,
Neroni had gone to New York city the
Lock Haven authorities telegraphed the
police there to be on the watch for Ne-
roni and family but so far he has not
been caught and the general impression
is that he has gotten safely away for
Italy.

THE HOSPITAL RUMMAGE SALE.—The |
rummage sale for the Bellefonte hospital |

$575 were taken in und deposited in bank.
Yesterday was penny day in the Belle-
fonte public schools and every pupil was

Ladies Auxiliary would like if all the
schools in the county would hold a penny
day some day next week when each boy
and girl could contribute their mite to-
ward the good work.
The rummage sale was held yesterday
afternoon and will be continued today and
tomorrow until everything is sold to-
morrow night. There are lots of good
things still on hand and it might pay you
to go in and look them over.

publican machine by throwing their votes away
on the Keystone ticket. Mr. Gardner assures us
