—On Friday evening a big twelve
pound boy arrived in the home of Mr.

a graduate of the Bellefonte High school
class of 1906 and holds a good position
in Pittsburgh. The bride is also well
and favorably known in Bellefonte and
the many friends of the young couple ex-
tend heartiest congratulations.
——Every town that has a first-class
business house finds how much better off
it is with than without one. Bellefonte
is just now experiencing the advantage
of one of them. Tired mothers who do
not have time to make their children's
clothes for Decoration day or school
commencement can find a complete line
of these at Lyon & Co. They also have
the finest Silk Hosiery, Parasols, and
pretty things for graduating presents. In
fact you will scarcely believe the immens-
ity and variety of the stock they carry
until you see for yourself.

i
PROTECTING CENTRE COUNTY FORESTS.
—Mountain fires have been entirely too
numerous in Centre county this spring
and hundreds and thousands of acres of
young timber land has been burned over,
causing damage and loss in the destruc-
tion of fine young timber running away
up in the thousands of dollars. There is
hardly any doubt but that many of the
fires were deliberately and maliciously
started and one reason why such a large
acreage was burned over is because of the
lack of men to fight the same.
A number of timber land owners have
criticised the Pennsylvania Forest Fire
Protective association, recently organized
in this county, for lack of efficiency, but
the criticism is very unjust. The asso-
ciation only aims to protect the land in-
cluded within the boundaries of its mem-
bership, and not all the timber lands in
Centre county, and this has been done
pretty effectively. J. M. Hoffman, the
secretary and forester of the association,
was in Bellefonte last Saturday, and
stated that during a part of April and all
of May he has had twenty-six men at
work guarding the lands over which they
have charge and cutting and clearing out
fire roads. That while a number of fires
have broken out on said lands they were
all extinguished the same day and with-
out doing any great amount of damage.
By the middle of June they expect to
have the land well covered with fire
roads, when they will be better able to
fight any fire that may break out. Signal
stations will be established during the
summer and when the association has
money enough to justify it a telephone
service will be installed over the entire
territory.
ACADEMY BASEBALL.—At three o'clock
tomorrow, (Saturday) afternoon the Wil-
liamsport High school baseball team will
be the Academy’s opponents on Hughes
field in the next to the last game of the
season. The usual price will prevail and
lovers of the sport are urged to turn out
and see the game.
The last game the Academy will play
this year will be on Hughes field Friday,
June 6th, when the strong University of
Pittsburgh team will be their opponents.
This will be “business men’s day,” and
the game will be called at 2.30 o'clock to
allow everybody to attend. Coming on
Friday afternoon, when there is very lit-
tle business in the stores, the business
men of the town would pay a fine com-
pliment to the Academy and its baseball
team if they would close their places of
business from 2.30 to 4.30 o'clock to al-
low their employees an opportunity to
see this last game; and also go out and
see it themselves. It will be the last
chance you will have to see the Acade-
my star players, as this is the last year
for a number of them.
more serious injuries is a marvel.

| ——When you're in doubt as to where |
to spend your evenings, try the Scenic.
| When you want to see the best moving
| pictures shown in Bellefonte go to the
Scenic. It you merely follow the crowd |
| you'll land at the Scenic, and all this is
| evidence that it is the most popular pic-
ture show in this or surrounding towns.
This is the reason it is always well patro-
| nized. The price is always the same,
five cents.
——On Sunday morning Joseph Ceader
| Jr., drove up in front of the family home
| on Allegheny street and when he went
| to jump out of the buggy his feet caught
|in the lines, throwing him out on the
i curb and pavement. He sustained a bad
|cut on the head and at first it was
thought his hip was broken but fortu-
| nately it proved nothing worse than a
' bad wrench of the muscles and by Mon-
day afternoon he was able to go to school.
| ——Mrs. Mary Robb, wife of George
| Robb, who lives along the mountain
{above Coleville, celebrated her birth-
| day on Tuesday evening by inviting a
houseful of neighbors and a few friends
from Bellefonte in to spend the evening.
Of course to spend the evening meant to
partake of one of those big spreads that
Mrs. Robb is famous in preparing and it
was well along toward midnight when
the crowd dispersed to their various
homes.
——Robert and Sameul Bell, sons of
S. I. Bell, caretaker and steward at the
Nittany Country club, last week purchas-
ed Keichline’s taxi. The young men
have located at Hecla and are engaged
in buying and shipping eggs and country
produce to the city, and will use the taxi
in their trips over the county. Parties
going from Bellefonte to the club by
train can, if they so desire, secure the
service of the taxi for the return trip
home.
——The Nittany Valley railroad, run.
ning from the Nittany furnace to the
junction with the Central Railroad of
Pennsylvania, wili be dismantled and
everything sold. This will include sev-
eral miles of track, a few cars, one or
two light engines, etc. Notices of the
sale are now being sent out by the board
of directors. The decision to dismantle
the Nittany furnace takes away all ex-
cuse for the Nittany Valley road hence
the determination to tear it up.
—
——A complete telephone system will
shortly be installed in the Brockerhoff
house, to include a telephone in every
room and an exchange in the office. This
will enable guests to not only call the of-
fice and make their wants known but to
talk to anybody in the town or any oth-
er place. The system will be installed
by the Bell Telephone company of Penn-
sylvania and in addition to the local ser-
vice there will also be long distance con-
nections which will enable a guest at
that hotel to talk from his room to any
city in the country.

—-Bellefonte's greatest spot of natural
beauty, the Big Spring, now shows off to
greater advantage than ever before since
that new concrete pavement and curb
has been completed, nll the ground per-
fectly sodded and the spring cleaned out.
It now shows off to better advantage than
ever before and its real bigness is easily
apparent. And when the fact is noted
that more than half the capacity of the
spring runs over the gate and down the
tail-race into Spring creek itis hard to
conceive that some Bellefonte residents
are continually on short water rations,
but such is a fact, nevertheless.
——On Monday evening a man was
struck by a freight train in the New
York Central railroad yards at Newberry,
near Williamsport, and seriously injured.
He was taken to the Williamsport hos-
pital where it was found that his condi-
tion was such that he was unable to tell
his name or anything about himself.
From newspaper clippings and letters in
his pockets the authorities decided he
was Brinton Mongan, of Bellefonte, which
is probably correct. Mongan is of a
roving disposition and has probably fig-
ured in more accidents, scrapes and
police nets than any man for his age in
this section. Just how serious his pres-
ent injuries are is not known.
—A good-sized crowd was in Belle-
fonte last Saturday to see Young Buffa-
lo’s wild west and Col. Cummin’s far
east show and all who attended were
well pleased with the performance. In
addition to the general run of events
pulled off in a wild west they had a num-
ber of new features never before seen in
Bellefonte. The performance throughout
was clean as it was thrilling and a more
gentlemanly set of showmen never ap-
peared in Bellefonte. This fact was
demonstrated after the evening perform-
ance when it came to loading up. Every
man knew his place and did his work
without any loud orders or undue noise
and so orderly and quietly was the work
carried on that the show paraphernalia
was loaded and the train moved without
disturbing the slumbers of people living
close to the railroad. The show was
well patronized in the afternoon but the
night crowd was small.
the parents of twelve children, nine boys |
and three girls. Two of the boys died in
infancy but all their living children with i
thirty-five grand-children and thirty-four ;
great grand-children were present at the |
| reunion. All the children, by the way, |
reside almost within sight of the old |
home where they were born and grew to
manhood and womanhood. |
The Corl family is one of the oldest, !
best known and most highly respected in |
Ferguson township. They are all tillers |
of the soil, progressive and prosperous. |
Politically they are all Democrats and !
always staunch supporters of the party |
and its principles. They are all mem- |
bers of the Reformed church and Sunday |
school and active in religious work. They |
are also all members of Washington
Grange, P. of H. About five years ago |
Mr. Corl retired from active work and |
moved into a new home near Struble |
station, where he has thirty-six acres of
ground and does a little farming and gar-
dening, just for proper exercise. During
his life he has been a noted hunter, hav-
ing thirty-nine deer to his credit, and he
hopes to make it forty before he dies.
Both he and Mrs. Corl are in excellent |
health and no doubt have many pleasant
years of life together ahead of them.
GOVERNOR APPROVES PENITENTIARY
PLANS. —Plans for the new western peni-
tentiary which the State will build in
Benner township, this county, were sub-
mitted to Governor Tener on Tuesday
by the inspectors of the western insitu-
tion, superintendent of construction John
Francies and architect John T. Windrim,
of Philadelphia. The plans call for a
model institution, with thirty-eight acres
inclosed within a wall and accommoda-
tions for one thousand prisoners. The
buildings will be in a group plan and will
be constructed of native stone. This peni-
tentiary will embrace the most modern
ideas in the care of prisoners and will
be far and away above those of the pres-
ent. The Governor expressed his satis-
faction with the scheme and will send a
formal letter of approval.
FELL INTO THE SPRING.—Three year old
Paul Miller, son of Mr. and Mrs. N. A.
Miller, of ‘south Water street, fell into the
big spring on Sunday afternoon and had
it not been for the prompt response of
William Rine, who heard the lad scream,
he would probably have drowned. Paul
with another boy was on the concrete
walk near the overflow gate when Paul
made a step or two backwards. His heel
struck the curb and he toppled over back-
wards. Both boys screamed and Will
Rine ran from the pump house, jumped
into six foot of water and brought the
boy ashore. Aside from a chilly bath he
was none the worse for the accident.
Mr. Miller thanked Mr. Rine for what he
had done in a very substantial manner.

ALL MURDERERS TO BE ELECTROCUTED
HERE.—~Under a bill that passed the Leg-
islature finally on Wednesday there will
be no more hangings in Pennsylvania.
All capital punishment will be inflicted
by electrocution and for that purpose a
special building will be erected at the
new penitentiary in Centre county.
Within a week after a murderer has been
condemned in any county in the State he
will be brought to the new penitentiary
where he will be confined until electro-
cuted. Only the warden, his assistants,
one physician, one spiritual adviser, six
citizens and six newspaper men will be
permitted to witness an electrocution.
