CONTESTED WILL CASE.—In the Blair
county court on Friday of last week a
case was heard contesting the will of the
late D. Miles Buck, who was born and
lived most of his life in the western end
of Centre county, and the Altoona Times
report of the same will be of especial in-
terest to the people of that section as
well as some residents of Bellefonte. It
follows:
D. Miles Buck was a resident for many
years of Halfmoon township, Centre coun-
ty. He died in Blair county on Jan. 18,

county, or
lived in the home of his brother-in-law,
John P. Sebring, who now resides at 17
East Howard street, Bellefonte. On Jan. 16,
1898, Mr. Buck made a will, in which he
: “I give, devise and bequeath unto
John P. his heirs and assigns
forever, all my estate, real, personal and
mixed, of whatever kind and wherever
situate.” He also nominated Mr. Sebring ,
as executor. Sebring probated the will

from the probate. She alleges that at
the time of making the will, Buck was
mind and was the victim
of designing Persons. Testimony of old
neighbors of was taken, with a view
to sustaining the allegation that he was
mentally noncom entis. From their
testimony it appear that Buck was
a hermit, associated. with but few le

Former Bellefonter
Shoots Four,
John Keeler Wields Revolver With Deadly
Effect and as a Result One Man
is Dead and Keeler in Jail.
Angered because he lost his position
as driver of the delivery wagon John
Keeler walked into the offices of the
Clearfield Brewing company, of Clearfield,
last Saturday evening, and shot Joseph
W. Roessner, owner; M. R. Ogden, head
book-keeper; John Kirchner, brewmaster,
and George Carson, an employee. Roess-
ner was shot two inches below the heart,
and died in the Clearfield hospital that
evening. Ogden wasshot through the jaw,
the bullet lodging at the base of the brain,
and Carson was shot under the rightarm
and it is feared his lung is punctured.
Both men are in a critical condition at
this writing. Kirchner was shot in the
back,but a rib deflected the bullet and his
condition is not considered dangerous.
The particulars of the shooting and
what led up to it are as follows: Keeler
was discharged on Thursday for being
drunk. He went to the office on Friday
and asked to be reinstated but was re-
fused. Saturday morning he went to
DuBois in an attempt to get the employ-
ees at the DuBois brewery to join a
Brewery Employees union of Centre and
Clearfield counties. He was unsuccessful
and on the way back, when he gave his
ticket to the conductor, he inquired if it
would take him to Clearfield. Upon be-
ing assured that it would be remarked
“and it may take me to jail, too.” Upon
his arrival hcme he again visited the brew-
ery and went into the tap-room, where he
Mills bumped up against Henry Rowles, fire-
man at the brewery. When he did so he
said to Rowles: “Get out of the way; I
am a bad man.” Rowles took no notice of
his ill-natured conduct, but went to the
boiler room to blow the whistle for 5
o'clock.
Keeler went into the office where he
met Frank Carson, a teamster, who was
talking with Rush Ogden, the book-keep-
er. Keeler immediately took up odds
with Carson and the loud talk that ensued
attracted Mr. Roessner, who was in his
private office. He went into the main
office and told Keeler to get out. The
latter replied “there's nobody here big
enough to put me out.” Mr. Roessner
told him there would be no trouble, but
that he (Roessner) would get somebody
to put him out, and stepped over to a
telephone to call the police. Keeler im-
mediately jumped behind a wire screen
and taking deliberate aim, shot Roessner.
He then turned his gun on Ogden and
Carson was his next victim.
About this time Joseph Kirchner, brew-
master, was on his way to the office and
encountered W. I Swales, another em-
ployee of the brewery, who told him he
had better not go there as there was
shooting going on there and it might not
be safe. The brewmaster hurried on,
however, and as soon as he reached the
office he was shot by Keeler. When
Keeler came out he again met Rowles.
He raised a revolver that he had in his
right hand twice, leveling it at Rowles,
but did not shoot. When he lowered it
the second time he said to Rowles: “Get
out of here,” and then started towards
the New York Central railroad tracks
nearby. When he reached the tracks he
met his own little son; said goodbye to
him and told him to tell his mother that
she would never see him again. After
delivering the message he continued on
going over the bridge, crossed the river
and took to the woods on the north side
of town. Possees hunted for him Satur-
day night and on Sunday he was seen
but drove his pursuers off with a rifle,
The hunt was kept up continually and
Tuesday afternoon Keeler, almost fam-
ished, came out of the woods and gave
himself up, surrendering his rifle and a
dangerous looking knife. He walked to
the jail by himself and surrendered to
the sheriff.
Keeler is a man well on to fifty years
of age. He came to Bellefonte when the
nail works were running and worked
there until the plant closed down. After
ed that he worked at the furnace and lime
kilns. He served an enlistment as a
member of Company B and was one of
the soldiers who served during the Span-
ish-American war. While a resident of
Bellefonte he worked for a time for
Thomas Beaver and one day, armed with
an axe, he threatened to kill his employ-
er. Mr. Beaver took the axe from him
and sent him off. While he was at Chic-
amaugua, serving as a corporal in Com-
pany B, during the Spanish-American
war, he hit a private over the head with
his gun. The incident happened while
the troops were on parade and upon be-
ing informed of the incident Col. Taylor
took him from the ranks, cut off his
chevrons and buttons and sent him to
the house. These incidents in the
man’s life show his mental calibre. He
was married to a Miss Boas, of this place.

JOHN CALVIN HARPER.
HARPER.—John Calvin Harper died at
his home on Howard street a few minutes
before four o'clock last Saturday after-
noon as a result of a cancerous growth
upon his neck. It is only about a year
ago that a lump began to grow on the
right side of his neck. His physician at
the time said it was probably caused by
a cold and would likely go away, but it
did not. Instead it grew larger and larger
and evidently became quite painful and
early in the spring he went to Philadel-
phia and submitted to an operation. At
the time the operating surgeon told him
that the lump was of a cancerous nature
but expressed the belief that its removal
would effect a cure, but it did not. The
insidious disease had already gotten too
great a stronghold and while he was
temporarily relieved it was not for long.
He grew steadily worse and for several
days before his death was practically un-
conscious.
Deceased was a son of John and Jane
Magee Harper and was born on a farm
in Miles township on November 1st, 1854,
hence was 57 years, 10 months and 14
days old. His early life was spent on
the farm, attending the district school
during the winters. Later he took a
course in the Centre Hall and Rebersburg
normal schools and in 1872 he began
teaching. For four years he taught
school in the winter and worked at
various occupations during the summer
and in 1876 he was appointed deputy
prothonotary by Aaron Williams. He
proved such an able man in the office that
in 1878 he was elected by a large major-
ity and re-elected in 1881. He was one
of the best officials that ever served in
that office. When his second term ex-
pired in January, 1885, he began to read
law and while he subsequently was ad-
mitted to the bar he never became very
active in the practic of his profession, but
devoted most of his time to soliciting
life insurance. In 1896 he again
entered the political arena as a candidate
for recorder and was elected by a safe
majority. In 1899 he was a candidate for
re-election but was defeated by Nelson
E. Robb. Since that time he devoted
himself ecxlusively to the life insurance
business. Coming as he did of an old
Democratic family Mr. Harper always
clung tenaciously to the traditions of his
party and as a shrewd politician had few
equals in Centre county. He had a wide
acquaintance, not only in Centre county
but in adjoining counties and throughout
the State. He served as a member of the
Bellefonte borough council for three
years, was president of that body two
years and presided at the last meeting
of the old council the first Monday of
December, 1911. While his parents were
members of the German Reformed
church since living in Bellefonte Mr.
Harper was affiliated with the Episcopal
church, of which his wife and children
are members.
On September 16th, 1879, he was united
in marriage to Miss Laura Graham, of
this place, who survives with three chil-
dren, namely: Clarence G., with the Gen-
eral Electric company at Lynn, Mass.;
Helen J., a teacher in the Bellefonte pub-
lic schools and who resides at home, and
Arthur C, an instructor in drawing in
the mechanical engineering department
of the Ohio State University at Columbus,
Ohio. All the children were at home
when their father died. He also leaves
his aged mother, Mrs. John Harper, and
one sister, Mrs. George Emerick, both of
Centre Hall.
The funeral was held from his late
home on Howard street at ten o'clock on
Tuesday morning. Rev. John Hewitt
officiated and burial was made in the
Union cemetery.

LEwIs.—Mrs. Mary Ann Lewis, wife of
Joseph Lewis, died at her home in Ty-
rone on Saturday morning after suffer-
ing for a number of years with cancer of
the stomach. She was a daughter of
John and Nancy McMonigal, and was
born at Port Matilda fifty-four years ago
last February. Shortly after her mar-
riage to Mr. Lewis they moved to Ty-
rone and have lived there ever since.
She was a member of the Methodist
church and a good christian woman. In
addition to her husband she is survived

ALEXANDER.—Penn township lost one
day in the death of Christian Alexander,
which occurred at ten o'clock at night at
the home of his son-in-law, Mr. J. W.
Kerstetter, at Coburn. He had been ail-
ing since last spring with heart and liver
trouble, a complication of the two event-
ually causing his death.
Deceased was a son of Amos Alexan-
der, a prominent farmer of Penn town-
ship and a former county commissioner,
and was born near Millheim on May 2nd,
1845, hence at his death was 67 years, 4
months and 14 days old. When he grew
to manhood he followed in the footsteps
of his forbears and engaged in farming,
an occupation he followed until his re-
tirement a few years ago. His entire
life was spent in Penn township and he
was known far and wide as one of its
staunchest citizens in every respect. He
was a Democrat of the old school and
while he never sought public office he
was elected to and filled various town.
ship offices, and always with credit to
himself. In his death the people of Penn
township and Centre county have lost a
man of sterling worth and character, a
progressive farmer and business man,
and the WATCHMAN has lost one of its
best friends.
When a young man Mr. Alexander was
united in marriage to Miss Sarah V.
Keen, who died a few years ago, but sur-
viving him are six children, namely:
Mrs. W. J. Harter and Mrs. J. W. Ker-
stetter, of Coburn; Mrs. D. H. Shook, of
Spring Mills; A. A. Alexander, living on
the farm near Millheim; Miss Nora, of
Coburn, and Mrs. C. G. Kerstetter, of Al-
toona. He also leaves one brother, A.
Reed Alexander, of Charlotte, Mich., and
one sister, Miss Kate Alexander, of Los
Angeles, Cal. One of his brothers, Wil-
liam Alexander (deceased) served asa
Member of the Legislature.
He was a member of the United Evan-
gelical church all his life and a faithful
and consistent worker in the Master's
cause. Rev. W. J. Dice will have charge
of the funeral services which will be held
at nine o'clock this morning, burial to be
made in the Millheim cemetery.

Our Correspondents ’ Opinions.
Profanity in Bellefonte.
EDITOR WATCHMAN.—Bad English is
and grown-ups have all these forms of
bad English become, that for their cure |
a crusade against them is the only re-
| course by parents in their homes, teach-
ers in the schools, preachers in the
churches, men on the streets, manly boys
on their play-grounds, and women every-
where.
Words unworthy proceed from minds
untrained, tempers ungoverned, tongues
untamed. They are words used thought-
lessly, hastily, hotly; expressive of mo-
mentary feeling that it were better not to
express; begotten in the home, there in-
dulged in first by parents, then adapted
by children unchecked and afterwards
communicated to companions out side.
If you want to know what the charac-
ter of the home is, you don’t have to go
inside. Just watch the ways and listen
to the words of the children outside.
Unchaste words proceed from unclean
thoughts. Thoughts which reflect the
lower sensual, nasty side of human na-
ture, desecrate mental morals, dissipate
high motives, encourage lewd conversa-
tion, lead to lewden habits, unfit for as-
sociation with decent fellow beings.
True, such thoughts are seldom bred
in homes. The worst of parents keep
them under cover there. Far more fre-
quently they find expression in loafing
places, in groups of careless, jocund
males, and socially outlawed females,
on street corners, in saloons, in low-grade
theatres, in uncensored picture shows, in
palaces of vice—wherever a naughty sug-
gestion or an unkempt circumstance will
provoke a lively laugh or please the low-
er tastes.
Unclean thoughts clothed in unchaste
words dragged from the slums of social
intercourse and carelessly poured into
the ears of eavesdropping youths by the
laggards of society, are thus transmitted
from generation to generation.
Why sow thoughts in the minds of
neighbors and of neighbor's children,
which one will not propagate in the
home! Why coin and give currency to
words and phrases that pollute the stream
of conversation, as it flows through the
streets and runs over into the children’s
playgrounds to create a Dead Sea of
moral filth in the heart of the commu-
nity!
Words profane proceed from irrever-
ence and irreligion, disrespect for the
human self, and dishonor for the Divine
Being. Words not meet for the human
temple, which is disclosed to be the tem-
ple of God. Both go together. Hence,
primarily, words profane denote a lack
of self-respect. And if one may gauge
the degree of self-respect, by the extent
to which profanity prevails among the
men and the boys of Bellefonte, the defi-
ciency in self-respect will seem appall-
ing. Boys do not borrow profanity from
their mothers and sisters; but from their
fathers and brothers and boy compan-
ions. Why must self-respecting mothers
bring forth boys to be trained in irrever-
ence and irreligion by profane fathers?
Is wife-hood and mother-hood honored
then?
Two laws stand against profanity, one
human and one divine—a borough ordi-
nance and the third commandment. Puri-
{an measures are not adequate for such
general violation as darkens the speech
of the day in both private and public
places. Ourf chief dependence for the
cure of the plague lies in precept and ex-
ample. Softhe members of the Civic
Club earnestly plead with the men and
boys of Bellefonte to put from them all
words profane and by precept and ex-
ample to prove that they are neither de-
void of self-respect in themselves, nor
lacking in respect for their homes, their
country and their'God, remembering that
each generation lives more or less on the
repetition of its predecessor.
PusLiciTY COMMITTEE
BELLEFONTE WOMAN'S CLUB,
Denominational Elimination.
EDITOR DEMOCRATIC WATCHMAN :—
The elimination of the various religious
denominations is coming to pass, coming
sure. The present opposing influence of
denominationalists may measurably check
its progress, but nevertheless there will
be a continuous cancellation of Christian
sects. The forward trend can never be
immovably stayed.
Canadian Christians are closely ap-
proaching an organic union of the
churches, including not only the several
branches, but the leading denominations,
Methodist, Presbyterian, Congregational,
etc, thereby forming one Christian
church for the Dominion of Canada.
In the United States, there can be at
present no attempt made for an organiz-
ed unity of the church, until there shail
be a merging of the seventy ~r more
branches of the nine great families of
churches.
An elimination of these branches, I re-
peat, is coming sure as there shall be
among God's dear children a nearer ap-
proach to all that is Christ-like in the
Christian religion.
In the gospel ministry more than a half
century, I have been laboring on this
line.
At forescore years, I thank God for a
<
sojourn on earth long enough to see
teady visible ad ina ifestati
of christian love—which is the “bond of
perfectness.” For all true believers in
but will be withheld | the Unity of the spirit, there is “one body,
one spirit, one hope, one Lord, one faith,
one baptism, one God and Father of all
who is above all and in all.”

How Patton Represented the Farmer.
CENTRE HALL, PA., Sept. 17, 1912,
Editor Watchman.—
One of the most important and most
progressive bills introduced into Con-
gress during the past session was the
Farmer's Free List bill. The passage of
this bill was advocated by most of the
Granges throughout the Nation. One of
the objects of the bill was to cheapen the
price of agricultural implements, fence
wire and hardware generally used by
farmers and exclusively manufactured by
trusts. Annually, we manufacture over
$110,000,000 worth of agricultural imple-
ments of which we expqrt one-third and
sell them across the water in competition
with European manufacturers. Thus we
see that we are able to compete with for-
eign manufacturers of like implements
in the markets of the world. Why then,
should the farmer of the United States—
the poor farmer, who sells in a compara-
tively free market and buys in an abso-
lutely protected market—pay more for
plows, harrows, reapers, drills, planters,
mowers, cultivators, threshing machines
manufactured at his door in his own
country than the farmer abroad pays for
the same implements, notwithstanding
the additional cost of transportation
across the ocean and the maintenance of
foreign agencies for their sale? Why
should a trust tax the American farmer
by makinglhim pay more for farming im-
plements than his European brother?
This bill passed the House, but in its
passage this district had no vojce for the
reason that Mr. Patton failed to vote
| either for or against it. The bill, how-
| ever, passed both the House and Senate
but was vetoed by President Taft. Con-
gress then made an attempt to pass this
highly progressive piece of legislation
over the President’s veto. Every mem-
ber was forced into line. There was no
neutrality. Though the bill upon recon-
sideration received a handsome vote, it
lacked the necessary two-thirds and fail-
ed of passage over the President's veto.
Every standpatter was found arrayed
against this bill in the final test and
among them was Charles E. Patton, of
this district, who voted against the bill
and sustained by his vote the veto of
President Taft. (See Congressional Rec-
| ord pages 112 and 4174.) There is no
| doubt that the final passage of this bill
would have proven highly beneficial to
the farmer. Farmers give this article
your careful consideration. Investigate
the statements here made and after you
have done this it is up to you to decide
whether you support Charles E. Patton
for Congress when he fails to support
your interest when there and casts his
vote for the trust that has been robbing
you for years.

Important Notice.
A committee from the Woman's Club
will collect newspapers and magazines,
the proceeds from the sale of which shall
go to the fund set apart for the benefit of
the hospital. A room has been secured
from Mrs. James Harris, over the Potter
Hoy hardware store, where the papers
will be stored until a carload is collected.
The key of the room will hang in the
Potter-Hoy store and must be returned
there after the door is locked.
Mrs. Harris generously gave the room
free of rent so that the sum for the hos-
pital may not be diminished. Will not
the town’s people be willing to deliver
the papers and magazines to this room
and thus save further expenditure.
Please save newspapers, magazines,
writing paper, wrapping paper, old tele-
phone directories, programs, posters, cat-
alogues, old letters, pasteboard boxes,
flour bags, time tables, etc. The maga-
zines must be separated from the news-
papers and tied with twine strong enough
to hold their weight. Books count as
magazines, but the stiff covers must be
taken off.
If anyone finds it to be impossible to
deliver the papers, please call one of the
chairmen, Mrs. L. H. Gettig, Bell tele-
phone; Mrs. Kilpatrick or Mrs. Galer
Morrison, Commercial, to make arrange-
ments. If a telephone is not available
send a postal.
Law offices, stores, homes, churches,
Sunday schools, postoffice, railroad of-
fices, telephone offices, hotels, news
stands, schools, court house, printing of-
fices and factories can all help. Some
effort may be necessary but if every-
body contributes his or her share, the re-
turns will more than repay. The money
raised last year was used to place elec-
tric stoves on two of the floors of the
hospital, furnishing the electricity for the
same, thus saving many steps for the
overworked nurses.

one of the causes for the increased attend-
