Runkle has been confined to his room at Philip Beezers the past week with a bad case of grip, which it was feared would develop into typhoid fever, but yesterday he was enough better to be able to sit up a short time and his continued recovery is look- ed for. ——Ralph T. Cole, while working for the Bellefonte Electric company last Fri- day, fell and broke his left wrist. While he is not housed up he is off duty and has plenty of time to consider that early marriage the hypnotist who recently ap- peared in Garman’s opera house told him about. ————— A oa — ——The condition of Mrs. George F. Harris and Mrs. W. W. Montgomery, both of whom have been ill for several weeks, is slowly improving; that of Mrs. Jack McClellan, who has been critically ill the past week at the home of her sis- ter, Mrs. J. L.

It means one full hour of entertainment, and the moving pictures are the best that can be secured. Of course there are some better than others, but they all help to entertain and the crowd that attends evepy evening is a sure test of their apprecia- i tion. If you are one of the few who do. not attend regularly you had better begin | now. oc ——Clean-up day is not intended for a portion of the people of the town, hut for every man, woman and child who has a home within the limits. Your property may be small, but if attractive adds to the street and neighborhood. Clean your pavements and gutters, clean your yards, both front and back, and clean up the al- ley, then if you are not financially able to have this accumulation hauled away, teams and men wiil be there to take it away for you. ' sos ——Last week we made mention of the fact that Lewis Daggett had bought the cigar store of Harry Irvin, in the Bush house block, and would conduct the busi- ness in the future. Since that time he has made a remarkable transformation in the place. All of the old wooden count- ers have been removed and the glass show cases from the Bush house office have been substituted. The room the sale of cigars in the Bush house office and the door leading into the cigar store has been thrown open so that it has all up with a high class line of cigars, Sew. that ny is to — sure what he wants at err rarer era meet STAIN an Contes aiunty Sricuds of Henry Steinkirchner will regret to learn that he died at his home in New- to be up and around until a few days be- fore the end came.

A month or more ago he fell from a ladder while painting a house at State College and broke his leg and was brought to the hospital for treatment. At first he ap- peared to get along all right but compli- cations set in and blood poisoning finally developed which caused his death. He was a son of John and Catharine Fulton and was born in College township fifty-five years ago last August. He was a painter by occupation and a steady, in- dustrious workman. He was a faithful member of the Lutheran church and be- longed to the Red Men and the Loyal Or- der of the Moose.

He stated that the membership fee and annual dues were but $1.50 per year and this not only entitled the club and each mem- ber to equal privileges in the State Fed- eration but also reciprocal privileges in the Automobile Association of America. KemBLE—Mrs. Annie Kemble, better known as grandmother Kemble, died at the home of J. Schruders, near Bailey- ville, on Wednesday morning of last week, aged eighty-five years. She came from Cambria county several weeks ago to visit her daughter, Mrs. Schruders, and while there became ill and died. A general breakdown was the cause.

CLEAN UP BELLEFONTE —Clean up week in Bellefonte was inaugurated last year by the Woman’s Civic club and everybody knows the good that resulted, so far as the appearance and sanitary | condition of the town were concerned. On account of the lateness of the season the work this year has been delayed but the club has set the week beginning May 15th, as clean up week this year and they importune the citizens of the town to show the same spirit of willingness this year as they did last in helping to beau- tify the town and at the same time dis- pose of the year’s accumulation of ashes, dirt and other rubbish that always ren- ders the rear yard and lot so unsightly jas well as unhealthy. Clean up week : has now become a regular custom every year in towns all over the State and Bellefonte cannot afford to be behind in this progressive move. Therefore, if you have not cleaned up your premises be- fore the week beginning May 15th be sure to do so at that time. You'll appre- ciate it as much as anyone else. ——The Civic committee of the Wom- an’s Club received their sample garbage can yesterday from Denver, Col, and the same has been placed on the corner of the Diamond. If it proves of any benefit additional cans will be secured and put up in the business part of the town. These cans will either be manufactured here or secured in Lock Haven. ——Harry Miller, who recently became so involved in his grocery business on Water street that he was compelled to make an assignment for the benefit of his creditors, left Bellefonte on Wednes- day to try his luck in some other place. This means reduced rates of transporta- { tion on railroads when going tv attend | automobile shows, reduced hotel expens- es, cheaper rates when shipping automo- | biles from one point to another and in- creased influence in the matter of secur- | ing better highways, etc. When the matter was taken up in reg- | ular order it was discussed from every | standpoint. While the Bellefonte Motor club has been in existence in a way dur- ing the past year it has really been ex. “tinct, unless one member can be desig- | nated a club, as there was only one mem- ber who paid annual dues for 1910. Con- irerity it was decided to undertake the proposition of imbueing the club with | a new lease of life and it was decided to drop last year's dues and ail motorists who would pay five dollars now would be entitled to membership the ensuing year, and that $1.50 of that amount be appropriated to join the State Federation. A motion to that effect passed without a dissenting vote and John S. Walker was in the Federation and empowered to rep- resent the club in the annual meeting of the Federation to be held at German- town today. On motion of George A. Beezer the secretary was instructed to have printed a number of application for member- ship blanks and distribute the same at suitable places, principally the various garages, as a means to increasing the membership of the club. Three new members were taken into the club, namely: Henry Lowery, G. Willard Hall and George T. Bush. The advisability of changing the name of the club from the Bellefonte Motor club to the Centre County Automobile Associa- tion was discussed and final action defer- red until the next monthly meeting. It is the desire to have the club member- ship as widespread as possible and if by ‘making it a county association motorists from State College, Snow Shoe, Howard, Miltheim and other points can be induc- ed to join the constitution will be amend- ed so as to provide for the change of name. The larger the club the greater the influence, naturally. On motion of James H. Potter second- ed by John S. Walker all the old officers were elected for the ensuing year. They are: President, Robert F. Hunter; vice president, John S. Walker; secretary, M. I. Gardner; treasurer, F. E. Naginey. Mr. Hunter announced that all the old committees would be continued with the provision that several vacancies caused by men leaving town will be filled by the appointment of others in the near future. This completed the business of the even- ing and the club adjourned. MOTORISTS ENTERTAINED AT STATE COL- LEGE. On Friday evening about twenty mem- bers of the Bellefonte Motor club went to State College where, with a number of motorists of that place and the supervis- ors of College and Benner townships they were entertained with a chicken and waffle supper at Nittany Inn by Dr. E. E. Sparks, president of the College. The ob- ject was to discuss ways and means for the immediate improvement of the road be- tween State College and Bellefonte by way of Rishel’s hill. An engineer from the State Highway Department has made a complete survey of both the road over Rishel’s hill and the one by way of Lauvertown and he has given full details of how the former road can be put in fairly good shape for immediate use at a nominal expense, probably $350 to $400. The supervisors in College and Benner townships have agreed to do as much as they can con- sistently do toward fixing the road and a committee was appointed consisting of three motorists of Bellefonte, three of State College and the above supervisors for the purpose of raising a fund by pop- ular subscription to help defray the ex- pense. A good road between Bellefonte and State College not only means that Bellefonters can drive up there with more ease and comfort, but that the peo- ple of State College would come to Belle- fonte oftener and in greater numbers, F. Hunter, James H. Potter and Charles R. Kurtz, of Bellefonte, with the super- visors of College and Benner townships and a number of farmers living between Bellefonte and the College held a meet- ing in the Elks lodge on Wednesday evening at which plans were made for ‘the immediate improvement of the road by way of Rishel's hill. Sub-committees ‘were appointed to solicit subscriptions from business men in Bellefonte and at the College as well as a contribution from His experience here may be of advantage to him in the future. the Bellefonte Motor club for the pur- pose of defraying-the. expense. The va-' elected a director of the Bellefonte club | MONDAY'S STORM Dip MucH DAMAGE. —One of the worst storms that has been experienced in this section in years pass- ed over Centre county on Monday even- ing between five and six o'clock and the wind and rain were something terrific. In Bellefonte the wind did practically no damage at all but at various points throughout the county there was great destruction of property. Its greatest velocity seemed to run in streaks and while one farm caught the full violence of the storm an adjoining one was appar- ently untouched. Probably the greatest destruction was wrought on the Olewine farm near Axe Mann. The barn was moved on its foundation and the top of it blown end- wise so that it islike the leaning tower of Pisa. Some of the heavy upright timbers, ten inches square, were broken like pipe stems and a good part of the roof is badly damaged. The straw shed connected with the barn was moved three feet off of its foundation. The wagon shed and corn crib were moved about ten feet and other outbuildings overturned and demolished. But the barn was not the only building to suffer, as the house also was badly dam- aged. Over half the windows in the house were broken. One window in the parlor | was blown out entirely, sash and all, and so violent was the wind that it blew over the piano in the room, lifted pictures from the wall and blew them out of the window into an adjoining orchard. The brick on every chimney on the house wére blown off even with the roof. The house is oc- cupied by Charles Snyder and family and they were so frightened they took refuge in the cellar. Many of the trees in the orchard on the farm were uprooted and fences were scattered like so much chaff. ! On the farm occupied by Frank Wian, | adjoining the Olewine farm, a new im- plement house was literally blown to pieces while the barn'on’ the Corl farm was partially unroofed. In all that sec- rious supervisors have afreed to give as much of their labor and money as they can possibly do and the farmers along the road have volunteered to give teams and work for from one to three days. The college authorities will give their stone crushers and roiler and in this way it is believed that the road can be put in fairly good shape. State Highway Com- missioner Hunter will be at the College next Friday afternoon to talk to the stu- dents of the engineering department and an effort will be made to interest him in the matter. The work on the road is to be done under the supervision of a man from the civil engineering department of the college. Dean Jackson was selected as the treasurer of the fund. ETTERS RE-ELECTED COUNTY SUPERIN- TENDENT.—At a convention of the Cen- tre county school directors held in the court house on Tuesday morning David 0. Etters, of State College, was re-elected county superintendent for the ensuing term of three years and best of all, for him, his salary was increased from $1, 692 to $2,000 per year. This is the ex- act amount the new school code would provide for counties of the population of | Centre, should it pass the Legislature and become a law, which is altogether likely. There were just one hundred and twen- ty-three directors present in the conven: tion which was called to order by super- intendent Etters at 10.35 o'clock. C. T. Fryberger, of Philipsburg, was elected chairman; Charles F. Cook, of Bellefonte, secretary, and P. J. McDonnell, of Un- ionville, and J. C. Hosterman, of Mill heim, tellers.
