BELLEFONTE'S SAFE AND SANE FOURTH.
—It took the ladies to show Bellefonte
how to celebrate a safe and sane Fourth,
and that it was a success is evidenced
from the fact that only words of com-
mendation were heard from every one of
the large crcwd present, hundreds com-
ing to Bellefonte from throughout the
county to participate in and witness the
celebration. There were no hideous
noises, no fear of the tetanus breeding
firecrackers and that not even one
slight injury occurred during the day
ought to be a strong argument in fa-
vor of such observances in the future.
In the following statement the commit:
tee of the Woman's club having in charge
the arrangements give account of every-
thing that came under their jurisdiction.
The suffrage parade was arranged sepa-
rately and it can truly be said it was a
representative and dignified turnout, and
added greatly to the success of the pa-
rade. The rain in the evening is the one
thing that interfered with the consum-
mation of a fine day's program, and the
WATCHMAN congratulates and commends
the ladies who planned everything so
successfully. Their statement is as fol
lows:

To the Public:—
The Woman's Club wishes to thank
Mr. Hunter and Mr. Hall for taking
charge of the free automobile ride event,
also the owners who kindly sent cars,
giving pleasure to about
children, many of whom had never been
in an automobile before.
We heartily thank both the fire com-
panies, organizations, women, children,
and business houses who aided in mak-
ing the parade a succes. The Boys’ Band
of Milesburg was also a feature of the
parade, and gave much pleasure by their
remarkable concert on the Diamond
where their beautiful music and efforts
to Jesse charmed all who heard them.
izes were awarded to seventeen
children competing for the best Uncle
Sam. Columbia, cow boy, cow girl, Indian,
Indian squaw, go-cart and doll, gipsy,
clown, and fancy dress. These prizes
were a one-half fare ticket each to all
the events of Chautauqua week coming
July 17th.
A prize of $5.00 in gold was award-
ed Mrs. Edward Harper for the
most
bile. A prize of $5.00 in gold was award-
ed Philip Shoemaker as the best town
Mummer, who, with his handsome pony
was not only beautifully gotten up but
acted his part perfectly. Paul Sheffer
was also a clown, and won the $5.00 in
gold in the bicycle class.
A prize of $5.00 in gold for the best
organization float was awarded the
Moose for their verv handsomely gotten
up float.
In the advertisement class, for beauty
original, the greatest amount of effort,
and the best business advertisement, the
Bellefonte Fuel & Supply Co. was unan-
imously given first honor; but because
both partners of the company and the
designer and tecorator of the float, were
actively interested in the management of
the persde, first Soney was not am jas at the G. W. McWillams’s home.

The second prize, also $5.00 in gold, was
awarded to the A. G. Morris, Jr, coal
yard float. Honorable mention is made
of Miss Snyder and Mrs. Aiken's very
original and dainty advertisement in a
stylish victoria, displaying the beautiful

tisement, but the dignity and bearing of
the wearer added much to the display.
Mention must also be made of the Joseph
Ceader ice cream and bakery float, with
its occupants, which was very fine, as
was also the Basket Shop's many little
advertisers and their wares; Katz's store,
the DEMOCRATIC WATCHMAN'S rooster,
the Keystone Gazetfe with their faithful
little reader, the Palace livery with its
stunning turnout, as well as the hospital's
first aid ambulance, which was a great
and useful addition to the ; and
hosts of others all so good and deserving
of many thanks for their efforts, but too
numerous to mention.
Thanks to Mr. Clayton Brown for giv-
ing the Scenic at cost, where nine hun-
dred persons, oF icipally women and
children, enjoyed the fine pictures and
music free.
We also thank Mr. James Hughes, Mr.
Donald Wallace, and Mr. James Davis
for their efforts and work in getting up
the free base ball game where there was
an attendance of about five hundred men
and boys. We also thank the home
players for their work in the past three
weeks in spite of the great heat. Thanks
are due to the New Century Club, of Ty-
rone, who so kindly came for the aid of
the cause, making no charge but their
railroad fare.
Through the efforts of Mr. Weston,
boys of surrounding towns and country,
as well as the boys of our town, were
welcomed to the beautiful swimming
pool. Hundreds of boys enjoyed to the
llest this great treat.
The Women's Christian Temperance
Union had barrels of ice water placed all
over town. That the thirsty ted

that it took over two hundred buckets
of water to keep them filled.

KILLED ON THE RAILROAD—Henry Ru- |
pert, a son of Mrs. Kansas Rupert, of |
near Beech Creek, was struck by the
passenger train east on the Bald Eagle
Valley railroad on Saturday night, June
28th, and instantly killed. No. person
saw the accident happen but from all
appearances Rupert was walking down
the railroad and was run down by the
train, being knocked to one side and his |
skull crushed. He was a member of the
railroad section gang at that place and
why he failed to hear or get out of the
way of the train is hard to understand.
It was probably five hours after the ac-
cident when the body was found by the
crew of an east-bound freight train. An
inquest was held by Dr. G. H. Tibbens,
who was deputized by coroner P.S.
Fisher, and the company and train crew
exonerated of blame.
Deceased was twenty-two years old
and in addition to his mother is survived
by seven brothers and one sister, name-
ly: Harry, Edward, Joshua, William
Ernest, Claire, Fleming and Edith. The
funeral was held on Wednesday of last
week, burial being made in the Fearon
cemetery.

A Sustaining Diet.
These are the enervating days, when, |
as somebody has said, men drop by the |
sunstroke as if the Day of Fire had |
dawned. They are fraught with danger |
to people whose systems are poorly sus-
tained; and this leads us to say, in the
interest of the less robust of our readers,
that the full effect of Hood's Sarsaparilla
is such as to suggest the propriety of
calling this medicine something besides
a blood purifier and tonic,~say, a sus-
taining diet. It makes it much easier to |
bear the heat, assures refreshing sleep, |
and will without any doubt avert much
sickness at this time of year.

The wheat crop in our valley is not a bumper
one, while corn and grass are short with no fruit
The elk thas were turned loose on the new
game preserve near here are not very scary of
man. In fact they are fairly tame and can fre-
quently be seen in the fields grazing. In fact
some corn fields have heen damaged more or
less by their depredations.
