—District attorney W. G. Runkle has
been confined to his room at Philip

both of whom have been ill for several

fire in one of the rooms on the third floor
of Crider's Exchange but it was extin-
guished without calling out the fire de-

——It costs only five cents to attend the
Scenic any evening during the week, and
it is more than worth the money. 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 |

FuLTOoN.—David Fulton, of State Col-
lege, died in the Bellefonte hospital about
eleven o'clock on Wednesday evening. 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. Surviving him are his
wife and the following children: James,
George, Mrs. Cora Kerstetter, Maude
and Frank, all of State College. He also
leaves two brothers and three sisters,
namely: Benjamin, Mrs. George Kline,
Mrs. James Stephens and Mrs. Gilliland,
all of State College; and Llewellyn, of
Osceola Mills. The remains were taken
to his late home in State College yester-
day from where the funeral will proba-
bly be held tomorrow, though the exact
time had not been fixed at this writing.

FEDERATION.— Fourteen members were
present at the annual meeting of the
Bellefonte Motor club, in the office of
N. B. Spangler, last Thursday evening, it
being the time for the election of officers
for the ensuing year.
- J. F. Mechlin, of Washington, Pa., rep-
resenting the State Federation of Motor
clubs, was present and explained to the
Bellefonte motorists the advantages of
belonging to that Federation. 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-

Dora Siler, died at their home in Miles
township, on Wednesday of last week, |
aged 8 years, 3 months and 5 days. He
had been an invalid for three years and
at times a great sufferer, so that his
death was not entirely unexpected. Fun-
eral services were held in the Reformed
church at Rebersburg on Friday morning
by Rev. G. A. Stauffer, burial being made
in the Union cemetery, that place.

AxoTHER DEATH FROM SCARLET FEVER.
| —Lowell Meyer, the thirteen year old son
of Mr. and Mrs. Norman Meyer, died on
Sunday evening of scarlet fever after
being sick only three days. He attended
the public school on Thursday of last
week and was taken sick that night. The
case was a bad one from the first and his
death on Sunday evening was a severe
blow to his parents. On account of the
contagious nature of the disease the fun-

MiLLER—Mrs. Susanna Miller, relict of
the late William Miller, died at her home
lin Houtzdale, on Monday, April 24th,
after an illness of some weeks with gen-
eral debility. Her maiden name was
Susanna Carahar and she was born in
Huntingdon county seventy-nine years
ago. After her marriage to Mr. Miller
the couple took up their residence on a
farm near the Mount Pleasant church in
Taylor township, this county, where they
lived until two years ago when they mov-
ed to Houtzdale. Mr. Miller died a little
over a year ago. Deceased was a mem-
ber of the United Brethren church and
was a good christian woman. She was a
great worker in the church and was pos-
sessed of a kind and charitable spirit to-
ward all mankind. Rev. H. A. McKelvey,
of Port Matilda, officiated at the funeral
services which were held at her late home
at Houtzdale on April 26th, after which

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

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
