BoTH NITTANY AND BELLEFONTE FUR- * NACES TO BE SOLD UNDER FORECLOSURE PROCEEDINGS.—A bill in equity has been filed in the common pleas court of Cen- | tre county by the Commonwealth Trust company, of Harrisburg, trustee, asking the court to make an order and appoint a trustee for the foreclosure of the mort- ! gage against the Nittany Furnace com- pany, owing to the defaulting in the pay- ment of the interest since May, 1912. The mortgage against the property is $89,000. A writ has also been issued at the in- stance of the heirs of the late John Lowber Welsh, of Philadelphia, for the foreclosure of the mortgage against the Bellefonte Furnace company, and this proceeding will be in the form of a sher- iff’s sale, which will probably take place | the latter part of March or beginning of | April. fonte Furnace property is $66,000. There is some speculation as to what the ultimate outcome of these proceed- ings will be, some very sanguine people venturing the assertion that it will prob- ably mean the putting in operation of one of them. However, there is no cer- tainty about the resumption part and it would be just as well not to begin build- ing on anything of the kind yet awhile. PARKS FAMILY AGAIN IN TROUBLE.— James Parks and his sons Bert and Frank, of State College, formerly of Bellefonte, are now inmates of the Centre county jail and will have to stand trial at the next term of court for various offenses. For some time past residents of State College have been pestered by a lot of sneak thievery. Several parties were under suspicion and were being watched by officers of the law. On Tuesday evening of last week the grocery of J. H. Musser was broken into. The operators in the Bell exchange heard the crash of breaking glass and notified constable John Snyder. The latter hurried to the store and caught Bert Parks red-handed. ‘The latter confessed and implicated Emory Gallagher, of York, who was also placed under arrest. Parks was brought to Bellefonte and landed in jail. Galla- gher, who protests his innocence, was held under bail. On Monday of this week Sheriff Lee went to State College with a search war- rant and in company with constable Mc- mahon made a search of the Parks home. They found a lot of goods which were recognized by State College merchants as being stolen from them; some of the goods still had the cost marks on them. The goods included watches, clothing, shoes and groceries. Consequently on Tuesday James Parks, the father, was ar- rested for receiving stolen goods and brought to Bellefonte and lodged in jail. The same afternoon Frank Parks, anoth- er son, was arrested on a serious charge preferred by a young girl of Col- lege township, and he also was brought to Bellefonte and given a home in the jail. ESCAPED PRISONER RECAPTURED.—On Sunday, December 15th, two Italians made their escape from the western pen- itentiary in Benner township. Last Fri- day evening one of the men, Mike Jo- vanovich, was arrested in the Pennsylva- nia railroad station at Harrisburg by a detective while in conversation with an- other countryman. He said the other prisoner who escaped, whoe he admitted was his brother, was working in Steelton. Mike was taken to the penitentiary at Pittsburgh on Saturday. On Monday deputy warden John M. Egan and detective Charles S. Schaum brought Jovanovich to Bellefonte and after lodging a charge against him of es- caping from the western penitentiary, saw him safely behind the bars in the Centre county jail. He will likely be tried at the next term of court, and the costs of the case will have to be paid by the county from which he was sent to the penitentiary. That Jovanovich had made all arrangements to leave the coun- try was proven by the fact that when ar- rested in Harrisburg last Friday he had a steamship ticket for Europe in his pocket. roe WHERE IS “POP” SMOLKA?—Residents of Snow Shoe are daily wondering what has become of George Smolka, better known as “Pop” Smolka, a Slavishman who was for years a familiar figure around the town. Smolka, who was well up in years, was more or less addicted to drink and on Monday evening, Janu- ary 5th, he spent considerable time at the Uzzle hotel. The result was he be- came somewhat intoxicated and along toward midnight he left the hotel with the declaration that he was going to Budinger’s store. He was seen to start in that direction but as the store was closed for the night it is not known whether he went there or not. However, just about two hours later the store was discovered to be on fire, and as is gen- erally known, was entirely destroyed with all of its contents. As to “Pop” Smolka, he has neither been seen nor heard of from the time he left Uzzle’s hotel with the declaration that he was going to Budinger's store, and naturally his absolute disappearance from his old and familiar haunts is causing consider- able talk. -—At a party given at the home of ex-sheriff and Mrs. W. E. Hurley on Tues- day evening, announcement was made of the engagement of their daughter, Miss Della, to W. Fred Rees, of Kane. The latter is a son of Mr. and Mrs. G. W. Rees, of this place, and is well and favor- able known in Bellefonte, The mortgage against the Belle- | ping western potatoes to Lock Haven and selling them at 85 cents a bushel. —Don’t miss the Edwin J. Hadley’s great moving picture carnival, augment- ed by high class lyceum talent. For many years with the Lyman J. Howe company. Tuesday, February 3rd. Prices, children 10 and 15 cents, adults 25 and 35 cents. ——Now in his eighty-fourth year the venerable ex-sheriff Benjamin F. Schaef- | fer, of Nittany, was one of the enthu- siastic members of a sledding party last Friday to go from Nittany to Tylersvillc | where the day was spent with Mr. | Schaeffer's eighty-year-old sister, Mrs. , William Harter. About twenty guests were included in the party and at the | Harter home a splendid dinner was | served. i ——William | H. ~Garman is the dis- i coverer of a remedy that he claims to be a sure cure for grown-in nails. He calls it “No-gro-in.” Last week Gregg Curtin purchased an interest in the remedy and this week he is on the road, up through the hard coal regions, introducing and advertising the same. There is big mon- ey in such medicines and five or six years from now “No-gro-in” may have made a fortune for Is owners. ——Argument court will be held on Wednesday and Thursday, February 11th and 12th, and the court has named the first day as the time when argument will be heard for and against the remon- strances against granting liquor licenses in Centre county, and Bellefonte and Milesburg in particular. These argu- ments will likely begin in the morning and continue until all the cases against which there are special remonstrances have been heard. ——— ——Carl Steele, son of Mrs. William L. Steele, returned home on Monday from Fort Meade, North Dakota, where he has been soldiering the past three years in the United States cavalry. Carl looks every inch a soldier but three years of the life has been sufficient for him and hereafter he will devote himself to more peaceful pursuits. His term of enlist- ment expired about ten days ago and after receiving his discharge he lost little time in getting back to old Bellefonte. ——While Miss Mary Hoy was on her way into Bellefonte on Monday morning she slipped and fell on the pavement, in the neighborhood of Gen. Beaver’s home, and broke her wrist. The same mornirg Miss Lillie Smith fell on the pavement in front of the Bush residence on Spring street and sustain- ed a badly sprained wrist. These with several other accidents which have happened during the past week empha- size the necessity of keeping the pave- ments clear of ice. — ——There is no moving picture show in Bellefonte like the Scenic. This fact is proven by the big houses every even- ing. Manager T. Clayton Brown makes it a point to give his patrons as much, if not more, for their money than can be gotten anywhere else. In addition the Scenic is always well ventilated, clean and wholesome throughout. Don’t miss the new series, “The Adventures of Kathryn.” But this will not be the only good picture, as there are good ones every evening, and you can’t afford to miss any of them. ee ——On Tuesday evening, February 10th, the third of the series of interesting papers will be presented to the Study Class. The subject, “The Friends,” will be introduced by Miss Emily Valentine and Mr. J. Thomas Mitchell. The meet- ings thus far have been well attended and have excited and maintained inter- est from beginning to end. Everybody is urged to attend, and go prepared to take part in the discussion. Find your voice and give out information to benefit others. By being prompt—8 o’clock— youdo not interrupt the attention or lose any part of what the speaker has to say. —Dr. R. G. H. Hayes has leased the house on Spring street where his office is now located and with his family will occupy the same after April first. Paul Sheffer and family will move from Spring street, into the Furst house on Curtin street, lately occupied by A. B. Kimport and family. Lewis Daggett and family will move from the Hastings’ property on Spring street to apartments in the Bush house, and Joseph Cohen with his family w’ll move from the Rhoads prop- erty on Lamb street to the Parker prop- erty on Bishop street, which will be va- cated by Mrs. Sidney Keefer and her mother, Mrs. Blackford. ——In the February number ‘of the Normal Instructor, a paper devoted to the interests of the American school teach- ers, there appeared a manuscript by Miss Maude Alice Johnston, Lamb street, es of a Moral Discipline Teacher.” Of this the editors say: “We consider this an unusual article and one sure to enlist the interest of our readers. These prob- lems in discipline are typical of those that come within the experiences of al- most every teacher. The earnest study that the writer devoted to working out the solution of her theory—to gain con- trol through mental superiority alone— awakens our admiration and wins our respect. Our readers will be glad to know that we have on hand another arti- cle by Miss Johnston which we shall pub- lish in an early issue.’’ ——Joseph Diehl, of Howard, is ship- | Bellefonte, entitled, “Personal Experienc- HOME TALENT TO RENDER FILIPINO | WAR DRAMA.—The rehearsals for the forthcoming production of Hoskyn’s Fili- ! pino war drama, “Under the Stars and Stripes,” are taking place nightly at the armory and real results are already in evidence from the exacting direction the author is bestowing upon them. The play is an authentic story of sharp | soldier life ip the Philippines, and while | { sensational to a degree is not at all im | possibly so. There is no straining after | undue and meretricious applause, for the | “motif” of the play is simple and direct, | | and charming in its heart story, while ; there is an abundance of good, whole- some, hearty comedy, that titillates the: risibilities delightfully. There are to be ! many vocal gems interpolated, among them being the great Japanese number from the “Show Girl” “Sweet Sana-0o,” with solos from Miss Stahl and Mr. Blair, and the famous song “Down, Down, Down the Filipinos,” sung at the caribo dinner, for which there was so much no- toriety, will be sung by the members of Company L. The spectacular military features, by the company members, who | will appear in the great hike-camp and battle scenes, as well as furnishing many interesting soldier features of routine or- der. The play is surrounded by special scenery painted from pictures of the Islands, and special light effects, and one is sure to enjoy an interesting perform- ance. Among the local people in the cast will be found Messrs. Blair, Beaver, Curtin and Daggett, and Miss Marie Doll, Miss Woods, and the members of Company L. SALE OF RED CROSS SEALS.—As is | doubtless known, the proceeds from the sale of Red Cross Christmas seals are | | used in the support of sanitoriums and hospitals for those suffering from tuber- culosis, and in the educational campaign to wipe out the white plague in this State. There is no more important cause claiming the attention of the citizens of our State where deaths from tuberculosis average 10,000 per year, and where be- tween 35,000 and 40,000 persons are to- day suffering from this disease, than this effort which not only helps to raise mon- ey, but increases the interest of the pub- lic in the warfare against consumption. I desire to thank the people for every material assistance, especially the busy merchants who so actively engaged in the sale of the seals: M. I. Gardner’s china store; Casebeer, the jeweler; Potter-Hoy hardware; Wallace cigar store; Blair, the jeweler; Donachy, of the Imperial; Morris, the grocer; Montgomery & Co.; Green’s Pharmacy; Mrs. Aiken; Yeager, the shoeman; and Daggett’s cigar store. The following young people are very worthy of mention: Thomas Hayes, sold 1020; Jack Montgomery 500; James P. Hughes II, 160; and George Shugert 140. The sales last year amounted to 5000 seals but this year only 2596. Twenty-five dollars and ninety-six cents were for- warded to Philadelphia and 3404 seals returned to the Philadelphia society. HELEN E. CANFIELD OVERTON Set FINE ART EXHIBIT.—Recognizing the educational advantages to be derived from opportunities to see good art, the authorities connected with the public schools have arranged with the A. W. Elson Co., of Boston, for an art exhibi- tion of two hundred pictures, to be held in the High school building, February 9-14th. This collection, consisting in large part of carbons and photogravures made di- rectly from the original masterpieces, is selected by art experts and should at- tract the citizens of our town. A small admission fee of fifteen cents will be charged, the entire proceeds of which, after deducting the expenses of the ex- hibit, will be used in the purchase of pic- tures for wall decoration in the different rooms. The collection has a distinctly educational purpose in view, being ar- ranged to show the development of art from the pyramids and temples of Egypt through the fine old classic architecture and sculpture of Europe and America. Of particular note will be excellent ex- amples of Italian, Flemish, modern French, English, German, and Spanish paintings. A most attractive illustrated catalogue of the exhibition will be obtainable at a small price. It will give the titles of the pictures as well as cuts of the same, classified according to schools and coun- tries. CoL. ROOSEVELT AND MRs. WIGGS.— “De-lighted,” cried Colonel Roosevelt when in Louisville he was shown the veritable “cabbage patch” wherein Mrs. Alice Hegan Rice found Mrs. Wiggs and Lovey Mary. And the chief executive went on to say that he regarded Mrs. Wiggs’ life quite as highly as the simple life preached by his friend the Rev. Chas. Wagner. Presidential praise is high praise always,and in his speech delivered before the students of the State Agricultural College, at Lansing, Mich., he said: “You will learn the root principles of self-help- fulness toward others from ‘Mrs. Wiggs of the Cabbage Patch’, just as much as from any formal treatise on charity.” This shows that the former executive is thoroughly in accord with the American people, who love Mrs. Wiggs of the Cab- bage Patch as they have loved few other women of literature and the stage. The play will be presented at Garman’s opera house under the management of the United Play Co. on Wednesday, February 4th. Prices, 25, 50, 75 cents and $1.00. —The best Job Work done here. a NEWS PURELY PERSONAL. —Miss Stella Kane spent Sunday with friends at Osceola Mills. —Dr. M. J.
