———Neighboring towns are already ag-
itating the holding of a safe and sane
Fourth of July this year. That is the
kind of a day Bellefonte celebrated last
year and there is every reason to feel
that our people were so well satisfied
with the day throughout that they will
insist on being just as patriotic this year
————_— Ap en
——On the twenty-ninth of this month
David McCloskey, of Curtin township,
will celebrate his ninety-third birthday
anniversary, if he lives until that time
and there is every reason to believe he
will because he is still hale and hearty
and able to be around as usual. He is
one of the pioneer residents of that sec-
tion of the county and well known by
everybody. ——iaaa
——QOne of the prettiest homes in Belle-
fonte is that of Mr. and Mrs. M. B. Gar-
man, on east Curtin street. The house
has been newly painted and the spacious
grounds are laid out so artistically with
flower beds and shrubbery that it is a
veritable Eden. Both Mr. and Mrs. Gar-
man take great pains in keeping every-
thing around their home in first-class con-
dition at all times.
——One of the nicest catches of trout
the writer has seen this season was
brought in Tuesday morning by Joe Thal
after several hours fishing on Logan's
branch. He had two which measured
fifteen inches in length, one thirteen and
six or eight which measured from eight
to ten inches. And not one of them was
the fish hatchery trout, but all were the
genuine brook trout grown in Logan's
branch and Spring creek.
——0On Tuesday evening Mr. and Mrs.
Theodore Boal, of Boalsburg, entertained
a number of friends in honor of their
guest, Mrs. James Garfield, of Washing-
ton, D. C. Among the guests were Mr.
and Mrs. William Thompson, of Lemont,
and as they were about to start home
their horses frightened and ran away
throwing both Mr. and Mrs. Thompson
out of the carriage. Mr. Thompson had
his shoulder broken while Mrs. Thomp-
son was badly bruised. They were both
sent home by Dr. Sparks in his car. One
of the horses was not found until Wed-
nesday noon.

——Clean up week for Bellefonte
means, that you are asked to clean up
around whatever property you may own
or occupy, on Monday, Tuesday and
Wednesday of next week and on Thurs-
day and Friday the accumulation which,
after you have burned everything that is
burnable, if placed where it can without
trouble be removed, will be hauled away
by wagons furnished by the borough.
These wagons will be under the super-
vision of those women in charge of your
district, who will personally call upon
you asking your aid in this general move-
ment to beautify and clean Bellefonte.

——When Sammy Bryan left Bellefonte
in January to locate in Tyrone he natur-
ally believed it to be for all time and his
old cronies of the Coleville band were
plunged in deepest gloom but like the cat
which came back, Sammy also has re-
turned and is once more driving his one
horse dray around town. The glowing
visions he pictured of the snap he would
have in Tyrone did not glow so vividly
when brought in close proximity and this
fact, coupled with no little homesickness
for his native town, was just enough to
give him an excuse to turn his face to-
wards the rising sun and drive down the
valley to his old stamping ground, and
now he says “never again.”
——W. F. Beck & Son, of Lock Haven,
who by the way are old friends and es-
teemed admirers of the WATCHMAN, are
receiving considerable praise and com-
ment because they have just completed
the first piano ever manufactured in that
town. The firm have been dealers in
musical instruments in that city a num-
ber of years and - lately they conceived
the idea of building a piano of their own,
which they did, and now have the same
on exhibition in their store. It is a baby
grand, finished in white with gold trim-
mings and is said to be not only a splen-
did piece of workmanship but a fine mu-
sical instrument. Every part of the piano
was made by the above firm.

——If everyone living within the borough
of Bellefonte, would respond to the ur-
gent appeal, made by the burgess and
those who are making an effort to change
the present unsanitary and unsightly
conditions of the town, it would take but
a little individual effort and would re-
sult in a great public benefit. If you own
in the business part of the
town, do not be that unprogressive per-
son, who has no civic pride; if you own
a vacant lot, consider those whose
homes adjoin it, if you occupy property
belonging to others, your own comfort
and health is at stake, consequently use
it, enjoy it, and treat it as if it were
your own. Clean up week means your-
self and your neighbor, but mostly your

BRUMBAUGH.— Mrs. Frank 'S.. Brum-
baugh died quite suddenly at her home
in Philipsburg on Monday noon. She had
not been well for a month or mere but
had been confined to bed only a few days
and her condition at no time was con-
sidered serious until a few hours prior to
her death.
Deceased, whose maiden name was
Miss Mary Clara Johnston, was born at
Marklesburg, Huntingdon county, over
forty-six years ago. She was married to
Mr. Brumbaugh when twenty years of
was 61 years, 7 months and 1day old.
When a young man he learned the drug
business with his brother, Dr. C. M.
Ewing, of Tyrone, and later embarked in
the business as a druggist in Snow Shoe,
where he lived twelve years. At the ex-
piration of that time he returned to Ty-
rone and embarked in the same business
until ill health overtook him when he sold
out and returned to the county of his birth
where he spent his remaining days. In
politics he was a Democrat of the Jack-
sonian type but this did not prevent his
election as a justice of the peace in
Ligonier township, Westmoreland county,
in 1907, an office he held at the time of
his death.

THE ACADEMY MINSTRELS.—The per-
formances of the Bellefonte Academy
minstrels at Garman's last Friday
and Saturday nights were decided
successes, both from an entertainment
and financial point of view. They easily

fessional cast the effect could not have

The minstrels were directed by Harry
P. Armstrong and the success of the

assertion that his work was most satis-
factory. Then, too, the hurriedly made
up orchestra, largely of College men, sup-
ported every song and act so well that
an expression of appreciation for that
service, rendered without compensation,
is made with pleasure.
Every person connected with the enter-
prise seemed to have been heart and soul
in itand with voices and talent added to
such enthusiasm little else than a success
could have been scored.
The total receipts for the two nights
were just $448.25, and of this amount the
minstrels will clear about $225.00.

WALKER. — Jeremiah E. Walker, an old-
time resident of Miles township, died on
Saturday of last week after a protracted
illness with general debility. He was
born near Rebersburg in 1837, hence was
73 years, 9 months and 18 days old. He
was a miller by occupation and a sober,
industrious man. His wife was Miss
Anna Brungard, and she with four of
their six children survive. Healso leaves

must say that had it been a strictly pro |
matter of general regret that Bellefonte
is the last week the WATCHMAN will have
occasion to call the attention of the peo-
ple of Bellefonte to the fact that next
week has been designated by the Civic
committee of the Woman's Club as clean-
up week, and because of the fact that
pronounced improvement was made one
year ago by the clean-up week the resi-
dents of the town ought to take pride in
doing even better this year. There is
nothing that will add more to the reputa-
tion of a town than to have it clean,
wholesome and beautiful. Bellefonte has
always been noted for its beautiful spring,
beautiful surroundings and beautiful
homes, now it is up to the property own-
ers and residents to make them even
more so by cleaning up the premises. To
this end the burgess has issued the fol-
{ lowing proclamation urging everybody to
| co-operate with the ladies in their efforts
| to make clean-up week a success inevery
| particular:
PROCLAMATION,
| Of late considerable interest has been
| shown in the cities and of the
| Commonwealth in the bea ing and
improvement of the municipalities. In
‘our own town such improvement has
' been materially assisted by the efforts of
' the Civic Club in imbuing the citizens
: with the true civic Pride. .
i In accordance with the custom estab-
{lished last year, the members.of.the Club
| have designated the week beginning May
' 15th, 1811, as clean up week.
! As the object is a meritorious one, and
of general benefit to the community, I
‘ would request and urge all good citi-
zens of the borough to remove all ac-
' cumulation of rubbish from off and about
' their premises on or before the week
i ng May 15th, 1911.
i yery Sawin means at the command
cf the h authorities will be exer-
cised to enforce the fullest compliance
' with the requirements of this request, to
‘the end that absolute cleanliness may be
| accomplished and maintained.

‘my hand and attached the seal of
the borough of Bellefonte this 5th day of
May, A. D. 1911.

DOCTORS IN SESSION.—Just fifty mem-
bers attended the eighteenth annual meet-
"ing of the West Branch Medical society
in the grand jury room in the court house
on Tuesday afternoon. Dr. J. L. Seibert
presided and interesting and well pre-
| pared papers were read by Dr. W. Wayne
| Babcock and Dr. Judson Deland, of Phila-
| delphia, after which there was a general
discussion of the nature of that dreaded
| disease, cancer. A resolution was adopted
(in effect that the society deplored the
| widespread sale of such powerful and
harmful drugs as morphine, laudanum,
| cocaine, etc., and the Governor and mem-
bers of the Senate and House of Repre-
| sentatives were requested to use all means
possible to enactinto alaw the Hecht bill
which prohibits the indiscriminate sale of
same.

Musser. —Daniel Musser, a native of
Centre county, died at his home in Orange-
ville, Ill, last Saturday. He was seventy-
five years old and was born in Penns-
valley, this county, where he spent the
early part of his life. Forty yearsago he
went west and located in Illinois, invest-
ing in real estate which eventually re-
sulted in him becoming quite wealthy.
He is survived by his wife, several chii-
dren and a number of brothers and sis”
ters. Burial was made at Orangevilie on
Wednesday morning.

FRANKS.—Luther B. Franks died at his
home in Miles township last Thursday
after an illness of some weeks. He was
born in that township, was a son of Sam-
uel and Sarah Franks and was 54 years,
7 months and 5 days old. He was a mem-
ber and treasurer of St. Peter's Lutheran
church, of Rebersburg, and an upright
and highly respected citizen. Rev. W. A.

CALHOUN.—James Irvin Calhoun, one
of the best known and highly esteemed
residents of Union township, died at five
o'clock on Wednesday morning after a
few days illness with pleuro-pneumonia.
He was aged sixty-three years and was a
farmer by occupation. Surviving him are
his wife and a number of sons and daugh-
ters. The funeral will likely be held to-
‘morrow. . #

quires that supervisors remove the loose
stone but provides a penalty of ten dol-
lars for each and every offense in neglect-
ing to do so; said fine to be paid out of
the supervisor's own pocket. It is the
duty of the constables throughout the
county to see that the supervisors per-
form this work and it is altogether likely
that their attention will be particularly
called to the matter when they make
their returns in court next time, so
that the supervisors should be particular
in attending to this work.
CHILD BURNED TO DEATH.— Mr. and
Mrs. C. G. Weaver, of Aaronsburg, are
mourning the death of their infant daugh-
ter, Irene Elizabeth, who was so badly
burned last Thursday evening that she
died on Friday morning. The child's
brother Lawrence, a lad less than three
years old, got hold of some matches
while his mother was out at the barn
doing the evening milking and set fire to
the bab’'s clothing as it lay in its crib.
He then left the room and went into
another part of the house where his grand-
parents live. When the mother returned
from the barn she found the room filled
with smoke and practically all the cloth-
ing burned from her baby daughter. She
rescued the child from the flames but it

A WORD OF WARNING.
Whilst not as gigantic a fraud as is
often perpetrated upon an unsuspecting
public, yet as a warning to those whose
meagre incomes necessarily demand an
economic distribution of the same, the

who may very justly be called a swindler.

THoMPSON—SCOTT.—Thos. L. Thomp-
son, of Lock Haven, but who during the
winter was employed at State College,
and Miss Bertha Scott, of the latter place,
were married on the evening of Jan. 5th
and were successful in keeping the affair
a secret until Monday of this week. Mr.
Thompson recently opened a meat market
in Lock Haven and on Monday rented a
flat in which to go to housekeeping and
this led to the announcement of his mar-
riage to Miss Scott.
BECHDEL—CONFER.—On the evening
of May fourth Frederick William Bechdel
and Miss Mabel Confer, both of Howard
township, were married at the United
Evangelical parsonage in Howard by the
pastor, Rev. M. J. Snyder. Only the mem-
bers of the Bechdel and Confer families
were present to witness the ceremony.
Both young people are well known in the
locality in which they live and they have
the best wishes of all for a long and
happy life.

eryman at Bellefonte. Mr. Thompson can be sat-
! isfied that a more stylish wagon than his is not in
that town. J. C. Smith & Son, the hardware
merchants of State College, bought quite a hand-
some delivery wagon, very neatly lettered and a
decidedly attractive vehicle. Adam Finkle. the
lumber merchant of our town, bought a splendid
auto seat buggy with subber tires and elegantly
upholstered. H. F. Rossman, one of our live
merchants, bought a top Concord buggy also

perbly finished and are of the highest grade. Mr.
Condo says that he has now orders on file suffi-
cient to keep the works running on full time until
late in July.
