——On Monday of last week Mrs,
Christ Decker slipped on the snow at the
Decker home below Zion, fell and broke
her left arm about five inches above the
wrist. Mr. and Mrs. Decker were begin-
ning to arrange their affairs so as to re-
turn to their home in this place for the
winter, but now Mrs. Decker’s injury will
delay them a little, although they expect
to be able to move about the last of the
month.
——
——Fingerling trout are now being
shipped by the thousand from the Belle-
fonte fish hatchery to stock the streams
in the various parts of the State. They
are all of last winter's hatching and
measure from two and a half to four
inches in length. Trout of that size will
be able to take care of themselves and a
very large per cent. of them should live
and grow to a catchable size wherever
planted. —
——A two hundred pound bear was an
attraction at the depot in this place for
several hours on Saturday. It was shot
at Paddy mountain by John Witherow, a
member of a party of hunters from
Irwin, who spent last week in Centre
county. The party did not get a deer,
and saw only two does. Disgusted with
such luck they broke camp and went
home on Saturday, spending several
hours in Bellefonte between trains.
——On Thursday of last week Andrew
H. Knisely and Charles Getz, of Tyrone,
went out in the neighborhood of Warriors-
mark on a rabbit hunt. The first rabbit
chased up was shot by Getz, but un-
fortunately Knisely happened to be in
range and part of the charge of shot
struck him in the calf of his right leg.
He was taken home in an auto and a half
dozen or so of the leaden pullets picked
out of the flesh. Mr. Knisely was a
former resident of Bellefonte.
——On Tuesday of this week some un,
known hunter shot a cow elk in mistake
for a doe, on the Allegheny mountains
back of the Orviston brick works. The
badly wounded elk was found by Harry
Miller and George Heverley, who notified
game warden John Winklebleck That
gentleman secured a wagon and help and
went out into the woods and secured the
wounded elk. The animal was killed to
put it out of its misery and the dressed
carcass sent to the Lock Haven hospital.
It weighed 234 pounds.
——Wednesday, November 19th, was
the fiftieth anniversary of the dedication
of the Gettysburg battlefield cemetery.
Dr, Thomas C. VanTries, of this place,
was present at the dedication and avers
that the weather was just about as warm
as it was on Wednesday. He heard
President Lincoln make his immortal
address which has lived ever since as a
gem and masterpiece of pure English.
It was the real dedicatory speech al-
though it followed alengthy and brilliant
oration by Edward Everett. The day
after the dedication from five to six
inches of snow fell.
——The Bellefonte High school foot-
ball team has had the most successful
season in its history. State College
High, Clearfield, Jersey Shore, Lock
Haven and Bellwood have been defeated
and arrangements have now been com-
pleted for a game in Bellefonte on
Thanksgiving day (Thursday of next
week) when the Bucknell Freshmen will
be Bellefonte High's opponents. The
game will be played on Hughes field and
will be called promptly at three o'clock,
which will give everybody ample time to
get through with their Thanksgiving din-
ner. Securing this team will mean con-
siderable expense and all friends of the
High school should patronize the game
and help the boys out.
——Now that the Acade my building
has been plastered and painted all white
on the outside it presents a very imposing
appearance. Workmen are now engaged
on overhauling the exterior of the Acad-
emy residence which will be painted to
conform with the Academy building. A
big porch will also be erected with con-
crete pillars from the foundation to the
roof. An infirmary is being fitted up
which will be equipped with medical
supplies and instruments and be in con-
stant charge of a trained nurse. The
grounds have all been laid out and graded
ready for sodding, and when this work
is finally completed few preparatory
schools in the State will be able to sur-

vice examinations for the positions of

The Arrangements For White House
Wedding Next Week Are Rapidly
Nearing Completion.
A guard of secret service men has
been installed in the White House in
Washington to keep watch over the
valuable wedding presents for Miss
Jessie Wilson, who is to be married
to F. B. Sayre on Nov. 25.
The jeweiry and four solid silver
dinner sets, together with a hundred
odd pieces of silver and gold, valued
at more than $100,000, are locked up
in a closet under guard day and night.
Many of the presents are bulky,
One of the members of the “South-
ern €2usiiisa Club” sent a massive set
of antique mahogany furniture, and
these are a number of other pieces of
furniture, to say nothing of Oriental
rugs and lamps. Two of the new
“spare rooms,” which were built in
the top story last summer, are being
used for the storage of these cumber-
some gifts.
Packages are arriving every hour,
The girts are sent up to the family
sitting room on the second floor, and
the family goes into “executive ses.
sion” to take a “peek.” Even the
president, when he goes across fron
the offices to the White House proper
for luncheon, is dragged up to have
a look at the presents which arrived
during the morning. Almost all of the
“official presents” have been receiv-
ed, but there are still many friends
of the family who have not been heard
from.
Mr. and Mrs. John Hays Hammond
are said to have in contemplation the
gift of a large and perfect single dia

ant or affixed to a hair ornament,

all of her people.
Nothing has been seen or heard of
the Karluk since that date, despite the
fact that extensive search has been
made for her. Whalers say there is lit.
tle hope of her ever being discovered,
as she is known to have encountered
the heavy weather which prevailed off
the Alaskan coast early in the month
of October.

U. 8. Army Flier Killed.
Second Lieutenant C. Perry Rich, of
the Philippine Scouts, U. S. A., was
killed in a fall with a hydro-aeroplane
into Manila bay, P. I.
The accident was due to a faulty
cylinder in the motor. Lieutenant Rich
discovered the defect before he left
the ground, and at first decided to
abandon his flight, but he afterward
repaired the cylinder and ascended.
He had ascended to a height of 200
feet and was making a preparatory
trip around the fleet before starting on
his intended flight over the vessels,
during which he was to attempt to
drop a bomb on one of them, when hig
motor again broke down.
Lieutenant Rich, who was the only
member of the Philippine Scouts at-
tached to the aviation corps, was en-
circling the Asiatic fleet, which was
at anchor in the bay, when the acai
dent occurred.
Hunts Body of Son Stolen by Ghouls.
Alleging that ghouls robbed the
grave of his son and sent the body to
a medical school in Baltimore, August
Kuhleman, of Pavia, Bedford county,
Pa., left Altoona for Baltimore to try
to recover the corpse.
The son, eighteen years old, was
bitten by a serpent last summer. His
mind was a biank for a time and then
his head grew to twice its normal
size. Finally he lost his reason, and
two weeks ago he died. Doctors want
ed to examine the brain, but Kuhle
man refused to permit it.
When he went to place flowers on
the grave he found the body had been
stolen, and the shipment of a big box
to Baltimore gave him a clew.
