ing at the Pennsylvania Match company ¢
plant is now more than half up and the
building will be finished before cold
weather sets in.
——The Lyric moving picture show |

hour each evening. |
——A National Guard inspector is ex-
pected in Bellefonte in the near future to
make an inspection of the armory of Com-
pany L, with a view of completely re-
modeling the building.
—Yesterday was Rosh Hoshana, the
Hebrew New Year, and in consequence
all the stores in Bellefonte owned by
members of that faith were closed until
six o'clock in the evening.
——In some parts of Centre county it is
estimated that the potato yield will aver-
age from 150 to 200 bushels per acre,
The outlook for cheap potatoes, at least,
the coming winter is very good.
——Charles Gilmour, a nephew of
Charles Gilmour, of Bellefonte, is quite
ill in a Philadelphia hospital as the re-
sult of an operation for appendicitis he
underwent about two weeks ago.
~The Bell Telephone company of
Pennsylvania have moved their business
office and the Western Union telegraph
office from the second floor of the Bush
Arcade to the room on the first floor next
Dagygett's pool room.
——Announcement has been made of
the enagagement of Lawrence McClure,
a former Bellefonte boy, but now Re-
novo, and Miss Carrie Miller, of this
place, the wedding to take place the'lat-
ter part of this month.
—On Friday evening Madeline Knise-
ly, the little daughter of Mr. and Mrs, Ja-
cob Knisely, was sliding down the banise
ter when she slipped and fell, breaking"
her nose and knocking out eight teeth. |
Her lips were also cut and her face badly
bruised. 3
~——0On Sunday evening Dr. R. G. H.
Hayes was coming in Spring street and
as he was turning the corner at the Cen-
tre county bank to go down High street
one of the rear wheels came off of his
car. Fortunately he was not driving fast
and was not thrown out.
——The hottest weather of the sum-
mer has prevailed the past week without
any indication of a let up. In fact some
of the old time weather prophets are pre-
dicting a late fall and hot weather until
late in October. Such weather will prove
timely for the corn crop.
———Major Stayer, who will be chief
marshal of the military and schools pa-
rade during the semi-centennial of the
War Governor's conference in Altoona
the latter part of this month, has ap-
pointed Col. H. S. Taylor one of his aides
for that occasion and the colonel has ac-
cepted.
——=Daniel Graham, a member of the
1912 graduating class of the Harrisburg

may elect to take.
——Two bands and twelve ponies will
be features of the big parade of the “Un-

i
{
Thursday. Don't miss seeingit. Thead- | burg
mission price for children, under ten
years of age, when accompanied by their
parents, at the performance in the even-
ing, will be but fifteen cents.
——Superintendent W. D. Meyer and
his force of workmen have rebuilt the
Nittany valley road to a point just this
side of Zion. It is slow work owing to
the inability to get the crushed stone fast
enough, and if they succeed in building
the road as far as Hecla this fall it will
be about all they will get done.
——While in Bellefonte attending the
Centre county fair last Thursday Charles
P. Smith, of Blanchard, either lost his
pocketbook or had his pocket picked. He
did not discover the loss until on the
train on his way home in the evening
when he reached for his pocketbook to
get his railroad ticket and discovered that
the pocketbook, ticket and all were miss-
ing. Fortunately he had only a small
sum of money with him, so that the loss
was not very great.
~The condition of J. C. Harper Esq.
is extremely critical. He has been un-
conscious for hours and the attending
physician gives no hope of a rally. Her-
man Holz, who has been ailing the past
month, has been feeling some better the
past few days. George T. Bush is still
kept close to the house with a few minor
citis that she is able to sit up in a wheel |;
chair. Sidney Keefer, who has been in
poor health for some time, left yesterday
for White Haven for treatment in the
as Wednesday and had a good time at-|
tending the fair on Thursday. :
tion was held in Gregg Post rooms at |
10.30 o'clock on Friday morning. Gen.
James A. Beaver, the old colonel of the
regiment, not being able to be present on
Cassidy, chief musician of the regiment, i
was chosen to preside and William Gem-
mill was elected secretary. As a fitting
opening of the meeting the old comrades
sang “My Country 'Tis of Thee,” after
which Rev. Emory M. Stevens, of Wil-
liamsport, a son of the chaplain of the
regiment, invoked the Divine blessing.
The roll call showed a good attendance.
A letter of sympathy to Col. Beaver was
prepared, read and ordered signed by all
present, then sent by special messenger
to the colonel. Owing to the fact that
some of the old comrades present failed
to hear or understand the motion a num-
mer failed to sign the letter, but it was
purely an oversight.
On motion the presiding officer appoint- |
ed the following committee to make ar- |
rangements for a reunion of the com-
rades at the fiftieth anniversary of the
battle of Gettysburg, which will be held
at Gettysburg on July 1st, 2nd and 3rd,
1913, D. F. Fortney, Luther D. Kirk, Da-
vid W. Miller, Shelumiel Swineford
and the secretary, William Gemmill.
Brief addresses were made by Rev. Emo-
ry M. Stevens, Thomas P. Meyer and
Robert A. Cassidy after which the meet-
ing adjourned.
During the afternoon a large delegation
of the old soldiers visited the grave of
the old “War Governor," the late Andrew
G. Cartin, and from four until six o'clock
the comrades were guests of the Elks, at
their home on High street, an excellent
luncheon being served to all.
The camp-fire in the court house, from
eight to eleven o'clock, was largely at-
tended, not only by members of the regi-
ment but by many citizens of the town.
Bellefonte’s double male quartette was
present and during the evening sang
“America,” a medley of war songs,
“Tenting On the Old Camp Ground" and
“God Be With You 'Till We Meet Again.”
The camp-fire blazed brilliantly all even-
ing and fiery coals of enthusiasm were
thrown at the audience by Robert A. Cas"
sidy, Rev. John Hewitt, Col. H. S. Tay-
lor, Dr. George P. Bible, Rev. William
Gemmill, Rev. E. H. Yocum, James_Glea-
son Esq, T. P. Meyer, Clement Dale Esq.,
Hon. W. C. Heinle and Col. D. F. Fort-
ney. Before adjourning the following
resolutions were unanimously adopted:
Resolved, That we extendto Gregg Post, No.
95, G. A. R., our thanks for the use of their Post
rooms in which to hold our day meetings.
Resolved, That we also return our thanks to
the Order of Elks for their kindness in extending
to us a reception and for the royal entertainment
they gave us while their guests. We thank the
commissioners of Centre county for having grant-
ed Us the use of the court house for our evening
meeting. To the quartette of singers for the
pleasure they have given and the help they have
been to us in making our campfire a success by
rendering a number of hymns and war-time
songs, and to the citizens, who have by their con-
tributions enabled us to celebrate the 50th ani-
versary of our organization as a regiment.
Following is a full list of the survivors

Leave your orders with your merchants.
——The Scenic has come to be regard-
ed as a household word in Bellefonte be-
cause everybody knows that it stands for
the best and latest in the-moving pictures
that it is possible for manager T. Clay-
ton Brown to obtain. Mr. Brown is the
inaugurator of the three reel show, with
a change of films every night and his con-
tinued large patronage proves that his ef-
forts to give the people a whole lot for
their money are appreciated. The Scen-
ic is always right in program and in
price. Ss

—J. Howard Lingle is in Bellefonte
on the first visit since the closing of his
foundry and machine shops here. He is
endeavoring to make some arrangements
whereby the foundry can be put in blast
to run in conjunction with a large ma-
chine shop he has about arranged to op-
erate in DuBois. The principal output of
the machine shop will be brass water,
steam and gas fixtures of the kind that
he was experimenting with here. We
understand Mr. Lingle has plenty of cap-
ital at command for the DuBois under.
taking and we sincerely hope that he
makes a great success of it. There is no
gainsaying the merit of the “no-pack”
valves and there is no question of Mr.
Lingle’s energy.
——Dr. Thomas Tobin, well known in
Bellefonte and Centre county and pres-
ident of Tyrone borough council, is under
five hundred dollars bail for trial at court
on the alleged charge of accepting a
bribe. The charge was made by Frank
M. Waring, cashier of the Farmers’ and
Merchants’ bank of Tyrone, and secretary
of the taxpayers league. Dr. Tobin char-
acterizes.the charge as a “frame-up,” dnd
declares Mr. Waring’s object as by no.
means praiseworthy. The accused was
given a hearing before alderman Louis
Casey, in Altoona, Saturday evening and
held for a court trial. Oh Monday he
brought a counter suit against Mr. War-
ing and several others on the charge of
attempted bribery. om
# «The dinner given at the Country
club Monday evening by Miss E. M.
Thomas was in honor of Mrs. Smith and
Mrs. Walmsley, of Philadelphia, Mrs Mary
Thomas's guests; at Mrs. Shoemaker's
dinner the same evening at the club Mrs,
W. F. Reeder was the honor guest. Mrs.
Charles Shaffner entertained with cards
Tuesday night for Miss Thomas’ guests
and that evening a dance in the town
hall was given by the boys of the young-
er set for the girls who leave for board-
ing schools. Thursday afternoon Mrs.
N. B. Spangler entertained a large party
at the Country club; Thursday evening
Miss Wilkinson and Miss. Powell gave a
card party in honor of Mrs. Shaffner and
Mrs. Hewitt at which flinch, five hundred
and bridge were in play. Invitations
have been issued by Miss Humes for to-
night when Mrs. Hickok, of Harrisburg,
will be the guest of honor.

OPENING OF BELLEFONTE PusLic
ScHooLS.—All the schools of Bellefonte
opened for the ensuing term on Monday
morning with the largest enrollment in
years, the total number of students be.
ing about eight hundred. The new High
school building, which when it was built
two years ago was claimed by many to
be entirely too large for the town, is now
filled to the limit, even to the fitting up
.of the library and directors’ room for use
for recitation purposes. There are 240
students in the High school alone, mak-
ing it probably the largest first grade
High school in the State in a town the
size of Bellefonte. |
Out of a corps of twenty-one teachers
sixteen were in attendance at the sum-.
mer sessions of Harvard, Columbia and |
State College, and have brought to work |
this fall a spirit of enthusiasm and pro- |
gressiveness never before exhibited in’
our schools. i
eral days in Bellefonte,
—W. A. Lyon made a_business trip to Danville
in the early part of the week.
~—Mrs. James I. McClure is visiting friends
down at Beech Creek this week. :
—Miss Annie Pearl left Bellefonte Thursday
for her annual fall visit to the eastern cities.
~Miss Anna Cherry departed on Wednesday
morning for a fortnight's visit with her sisterin
Philadelphia.
—Miss Margaret Gilmour will go to Ohio Mon-
day of next week to take a business course at the
Oxford school at Oxford, Ohio.
—Jacob Levi, one of the clerks in Katz's store,
left on Wednesday morning on a two weeks trip
to Philadelphia and Atlantic City.
—Dr. and Mrs. Coburn Rogers with their two
children went to Hazelton yesterday for a one
week visit with Mrs. Rogers’ parents.
—Mrs. Howard Gearhart returned to her home
at Coatesville, Monday, after being in Bellefonte
for two weeks with her mother Mrs. Joseph Fox.
—Mrs. Katherine Huater, of Pittsburgh, is the
guest of her aunt, Mrs. William T. Speer: having
come to Bellefonte last week for an indefinite

work are the manual training and com- |
mercial courses in the High school, and |
the course in sewing in the grades. The |
manual training work will be under the
| direct supervision of the Department of
Industrial Engineering at State College,
thus assuring that it will be organized
and conducted under expert guidance.
The commercial work will be conducted
by Miss Jessie Graham, who has just
come from Staten Island, New York,
where she was doing special work for
the Underwood Typewriter company.
The course in sewing for grades V to
VIII, inclusive, has been extended and is
now practically the same that is given in |
the schools of Boston. The introduction |
of this vocational work has been the
means of bringing back a number of pu-
pils who had dropped out during the last
few years. i
Owing to the increased cost of educat-
ing pupils, the school board has decided
to raise the tuition in the High school
from $2.50 to $4.00 per month, and in
the grades from $2.00 to $2.20 per month.
BELLEFONTE ACADEMY OPENS VERY
AuspiciousLY.—The Bellefonte Academy
opened on Wednesday and there is every
indication that the ensuing term will be
the banner year in the history of that in-
stitution. While all the students have
not yet arrived it is confidently expected
that the final enrollment of young men
from a distance will be from seventy-five
to eighty, which is a good per cent. of in-
crease over last year when the total was
not over sixty-five. This increase requir-
ed more rooming space and headmaster
James R. Hughes has leased a number of
rooms in the Warfield house on Curtin
street, where a number of the boys will
be quartered and will take their meals at
the Fraternity house.
As an example of how the reputation
ot the Academy is extending students
have come in this term from twenty new
towns, which have never before been rep.
resented. The western part of the State
has its usual good quota while West Vir-
ginia is also represented, as it has been
for a number of years past. A large
number of the boys are big, husky fel.
lows, and the outlook is very good for all
branches of athletic sports. There are
several additions and changes in the fac-
ulty this year, announcement of which
was made in last week's paper, so that the
teaching force will be considerably
KILLED IN . RAILROAD ACCIDENT.—
James W. Quick, 4 native of Centre coun-
ty, was one of the victims of a serious
railroad disaster near Latrobe on Tues-
day. Quick, who lived in Altoona, was
flagman on a freight train on the Pitts-
burgh division and while on a western
trip was on the “pushing” engine. The
iatter was running light when it was run
into by the New York and Chicago pass-
enger train No. 21. Twomen were kill-
ed and a half dozen injured. ‘
Mr. Quick was born near Milesburg, in
Boggs township, on October 1, 1870. His
early life was spent in that vicinity .but
nine years ago he went to Altoona and
entered the employ of the Pennsylvania
railroad company. He was an industrious
and conscientious employee. For a num-
ber of years past he had been a member
of the Railroad Relief association. Sur-
viving him are his wife in Altoona; one
daughter, Mrs. Lloyd Allen, of Corry; his
father, John W. Quick, of Boggs town-
ship, and three sisters, namely: Mrs.
Mary Walker, of Altoona; Mrs. Gertrude
Clary, of Chicago, and Mrs. Minnie
Coughton, of Michigan. The remains
were taken to Altoona for burial.
