Frank McCoy was present and made complaint about the neglect of the borough in having the boardwalk replaced on North Water street, from Rhoads’ corner to his property. This matter has heen before council repeated- ly #hd the chief reason it has never been replaced is because council could not de- cide just where lay the liability for the same.

NITTANY FURNACE TO BLow OuT.—The Nittany furnace will be blown out early next week, which will mark the closing down of the plant indefinitely. In the WATCHMAN of December 16th, 1910, in an article announcing the closing of the Bellefonte furnace, it was stated that the blowing out of the Nittany furnace would probably take place about the middle of | January, although at that time the offi- | cials here stated that there were no defi- nite orders to that effect. But the blow- ing out of both furnaces was a fact that had been foreseen for some months. The iron market has been such that it was impossible to dispose of more than about : one-fourth of the daily output and as a result thousands of tons of pig are piled up at both furnaces. The only reason they were kept in blast as long as they were was to use up raw material either on hand or contracted for and now that that has been done the closing comes as a mat- in charge and he is very energetic in his . work of pushing along the completion of ! the building as rapidly as possible. | ——The Western Union telegraph com- pany has made arrangements with the Bell telephone company whereby all sub scribers of the latter can telephone their telegrams into the office of the telegraph company and have bills rendered for same, instead of being compelled to go to the telegraph office and deliver the message and pay cash for its transmis- sion. This will facilitate the service as well as be a great convenience for the public. . i ——The closing of the Bellefonte and Nittany furnaces here will naturally af- fect operatior:= at the Scotia ore mines.

It is always good, every evening during the week, and varied enough to suit the tastes and fancy of everybody in Bellefonte, as well as strangers in the town. Remember this is cne place you can go without waiting to be invited and you are always sure of a welcome and of being treated right. The price is always the same, five cents. ro ——Mrs. Gordon's twins, who have been cared for at the poor house the past few months, have been taken away by the Children's Home Society to be placed in comfortable homes for adoption.

Dr. W. H. Thompson is the state superintendent of the Children's Home Society and its prime object is to find homeless children and place them in the childless home. ——We desire to call special attention to the big sale of white goods now under way at Lyon & Co's store. Muslins, sheet- ings, linens and laces, everything new and up-to-date and at prices that cannot be beaten in Bellefonte. Muslin under- wear for women and children, embroi- dery, silk, satin, percale and ginghams; in fact all kinds of the best and most seasonable white goods. It will please you and pay you to visit their store and see the large and varied display. They are also conducting a rummage sale of remnants and holiday leftovers.

With- ers, the famous tree man, will deliver his very interesting lecture on trees in the High school auditorium on Monday even- ing, February 6th. It will be of unusual ! interest and value to ali property owners and lovers of trees, and it is earnestly hoped that all these will attend. The il- lustrations of the way of trimming and treating trees will not be the only ones as there will be views of many of the famous trees in all parte of the world, all finely colored. Mr. Withers has about two hundred slides, which will make a very entertain- ing two hour picture talk. The lecture will be delivered at State College also on Saturday evening, February 4th. In Bellefonte it will be under the auspices of the Civic Improvement association, for the benefit of the department of domes- tic science in the High school, which is under their charge. A nominal sum will be charged to pay some of the minor ex- penses, but the tickets will be only ten This town has been so deficient in the way of having the shade trees handled and butchered that an instructive lecture like the above, illustrated as it is, will be of great benefit to many and to the town in general. -——— eee ae SLot MACHINES MusT Go.—Last week burgess John J. Bower issued an edict that the nickel-in-the slot gambling ma- chines in Bellefonte must go, and notice was served on the proprictors of the business places in which they were found to get rid of them by January 20th or they would be confiscated. The au- thorities found two machines in Belle- fonte on which gambling for money was carried on openly, in defiance of the law. Two other machines were found which were operated upon a system which was merely a technical evasion of the law, and these also had to go. There are a number of slot machines in stores in Bellefonte in which the cus- tomer always gets full value for his money, and which do not come under the ban of the law. These, of course, were not interfered with. GREGG POST OFFICERS INSTALLED.—At a regular meeting on Saturday evening the reguiarly elected officers for the en- suing year were installed by Col. Eman- uel Noll, past commander. Owing to the recent death of Gen. John I Curtin, who by the way was the officer of the day- elect and which office is still vacant, the usual supper and public installation was dispensed with and the ceremonies were private. The officers installed were as follows: Commander, Herman K. Mil- ler; senior vice commander, Monroe Ar- mor; junior vice commander, John Reed; quartermaster, W. H. Musser; chaplain, Dr. James H. Dobbins; officer of the guard, Charles Eckenroth; officer of the day (vacant;) adjutant, Emanuel Noll; quartermaster sergeant, S. B.
