The annual meeting of the Democratic
State committee was held in Harrisburg
on Wednesday last. Every county in the
State was represented. Unfortunately
for the party the divisions that have
arisen in it, caused by the selfish ambi-
tion of a few men who desire to take con-
trol of the organization, could not be set-
tled, and two committee meetings, elect-
ing two State chairmen was the result.

the town that will compare with it.
——After conducting his shoe shining
parlor and cigar store, next the Gazetle
office, just two weeks Herbie Auman sold
out last Friday to Eddie Thompson, who
has transferred his headquarters there
from the room in the rear of Nighthart's
barber shop in the Crider building. Herb,
by the way, was not long in making the
discovery that to conduct a business prof-
itably the owner wants to be on the
ground and not in the next room.
—— The Bellefonte Lodge of Moose
had a reception at their home on Spring
street, Tuesday evening, and an open air
concert by the new City band. This is
the second appearance of the band this
summer, and very favorable comments
were heard upon the music. The band is
badly in need of new uniforms and the
management hopes by giving a series of
evening concerts to interest the people of
the town enough so that they will con-
tribute toward the expense of the equip-
ment.
——The railroad shopmen of Tyrone
will picnic at Hecla park tomorrow (Sat-
urday) and it is estimated that upwards
of a thousand people will come down on
the special train which will convey the
picnickers to the park. On the return
trip in the evening the train will be run
into the depot and sidetracked and the
famous Tyrone band will give a concert
in the Diamond from 6:30 to 7 o'clock.
This will be in accordance with instruc
tions from trainmaster R. B. Freeman, |
who will do this as a compliment to
B llefonte and its citizens. The Ty-
Jne band is one of the best musical or-
ganizations in Central Pennsylvania and
their concert tomorrow night will doubt-
less prove a real treat. W. E. Royer,
formerly of this place, is now a member
of this band.
Last Friday Searle Moerschbacher
was fishing in Spring creek, opposite
Beezer’s garage, and pulled out a ten inch
trout. As he did so a stranger who was
standing by confiscated the fish and
showed papers identifying him as a fish
warden. He claimed the fish was caught
illegally and told the boy to go along
with him to his father and explain him-
self. To. Mr. Moerschbacher and others
he stated that the trout had been caught
out of season, claiming that the sea-
son closed on june 14. When a copy of
the law was shown him, giving July 31st
as the lastday of the season, he wassome-
what crestfallen and couldn't do anything
else than return the fish and let the boy
go. If the man reallyis a fish warden he
was not well posted on the law and is not
really as smart as he evidently thinks
he is.
——F. E. Snyder, who lives a mile this
side of Vail, in Bald Eagle valley, was seri-
ously inju-ed in the neighborhood of Dix
station early Sunday morning. He left
his home about midnight to drive to Port
Matilda and in the vicinity of Dix his horse
frightened at an automobile and plunged
down an embankment onto the Bald Eagle
Valley railroad, right in froatof a moving
freight engine. The engine struck the
buggy, literally demolishing the same.
Mr. Snyder was hurled to one side of the
track where the debris of the demolished
vehicle feli upon him. The accident hap-
pened at 1.30 o'clock in the morning and
the man lay there until 6 o'clock when he
was discovered by the work train crew
and taken to Tyrone. A physician found
two broken ribs, a cut in the right leg
and numerous bruises and contusions.

. BECKk.—After years of suffering with
cancer Mrs. M. L. Beck died at her home
in Howard last Thursday morning. Her
maiden name was Agnes A. F. Beck and
she was born at Nittany Hall August
17th, 1845, her parents being Mr. and
Mrs. Joseph Beck. In 1881 she was united
|in marriage to M. L. Beck, of Walker
| township, and they lived on the latter's
! farm until April, 1907, when they moved
| to Howard where they since resided. Her :
| only survivor is her husband, they having .
‘no children. Deceased was a member of |
the Lutheran church and a christian |

were in charge of her former pastor,
Rev. L. N. Fleck. Burial was made in

| McFeaters, died at their home in Johns-
| town on Friday, July 14th, after being

GLENN.—A two year old child of Mr.
and Mrs. Samuel Glenn, of Altoona, died
on Wednesday of last week and on Fri.
day the remains were taken to Centre

——Miss Mildred Ogden, daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Ogden, formerly of
this place but now of Clintondale, won
the gold medal for the best essay at the
Mansfield Normal school commencement,
from which institution she graduated in
June. She will probably go to New Jersey
to teach the coming school year, but will
likely spend a week or so with Bellefonte
friends before that time.

——The borough council has now se-
cured a dumping ground for all kinds of |
time Bellefonters and strangers visiting
in the town can be delightfully entertain-
ed every evening by attending the Scenic.
One full hour's show for only five cents,
something you cannot find anywhere else
in the country. The pictures are all new
and up-to-date and there are no repeti-
tions. The Scenic is really the only popu-
lar place of amusement in Bellefonte.
——Rev. E. C. Houck, a former pastor
' of the Milesburg Lutheran church, will
preach in the Presbyterian church at
Milesburg Sunday morning at 10:30
o'clock. Rev. Eldredge, who the past
year had served as pastor of the Baptist
church at that place, recently resigned to
go to Lewistown, and the congregation
are now having their church repaired,
which accounts for the services being held
in the Presbyterian church on Sunday.
—A clogged sewer pipe at the Hast-
ings residence on north Allegheny street
is causing considerable trouble and incon-
venience. During the past two weeks
workmen have been engaged in an effort
to locate the trouble, and the pipe being
buried to a depth of ten feet it requires
' considerable digging. As a result the
| pavement on Lamb street has been block-
ed ever since work was begun and it may
be several days yet before it is cleared.
——William Miller, who resides on a
farm about a mile east of Julian, is hav-
ing more than his share of hard luck.
Mr. Miller is merely a tenant farmer and
the house in which he lived was totally
- destroyed by fire. Mr. Miller had a five
hundred dollar insurance on the house
and one hundred on the furniture and
when the insurance adjuster visited him
he refused payment of the five hundred
dollar policy because Mr. Miller did not
own the property. He also refused to pay
the money to the real owner of the prop-
erty, because the policy had not been
taken out by him. The affair has caused
considerable indignation in that com-
munity and it is likely the matter will be
carried into the courts. And, as if this

For A BusiNess MEN'S Picnic. —A
meeting of the executive committee of
i and will require 125,000 brick for
its construction.
The Commercial Travelers’ and Busi.
ness Men's association of Philipsburg are
now negotiating for the location there of
a cut glass factory which will employ
from fifty to sixty men and boys and an
enameled brick plant, with a reasonable
possibility of securing one or hoth.
If neighboring towns can secure new
industries what is the reason that Belle-
fonte cannot? Times are no better in
neighboring towns than they are here,
and they are no worse here than any-
where else. The reason, therefore, must
be in the amount of energy put forth by
the capitalists and business men of other
towns. Down at Lock Haven a piece of
ground was purchased through the efforts
of the board of trade and from this free
sites are offered for new industries. This
is the entire actual outlay, though there
is the additional inducement in the way
of free water and exemption from taxes
for a certain period. Bellefonte ought to
be able to offer the same inducements,
and by doing so might secure industries
that would mean a whole lot to the busi-
ness of the town. But individual action
will count for nothing, and that is the
reason the WATCHMAN has always been
an advocate of a good, live board of
trade.
WORK STARTED ON Y. M. C. A. Swim-
MING PooL.—Lewis Wallace, who secured
the contract for the swimming pool Mrs.
William P. Wilson is building for the Belle-
fonte Y. M. C. A,, began work on the ex-
cavation for the pool on Tuesday morn.
ing. The work is to be pushed with the
utmost vigor as the contract calls for the
completion of the pool and building early
in September. Architect Boyd, of Pitts-
burg, who prepared the plans, will be in
Bellefonte next Wednesday or Thursday
and the excavation is to be completed by
that time so that work can be started on
the concreting for the pool. Once this
work is begun it will be rushed through
as fast as possible. In fact this will be
absolutely necessary in order to insure
against leakage. From the moment work
begins men will be kept on the job con-
tinuously day and night so that no part
of the concrete will have a chance to set
before more is added to it.
The brick and lumber for the building
will all be on the ground by the time the
concrete work is completed and it will not
take long to put up the structure, which
will be princip:lly the walls and a roof.
A full description of the swimming pool
was published in this paper at the time
the bequest for same was made by Mrs.
Wilson, so that it is generally known
what it will be like. It will be amply
large for the needs of Bellefonte and is
something that has long been needed for
the town.
-—te
is not a success. If one-tenth the fry put
into the streams lived there would be an
abundance of trout every year, but it is
evident that not one in a hundred sur-
vives. If the trout were kept in the
hatchery ponds until they are fingerlings
and then put into the streams, one-tenth
of the number now put out would bring
better results.
