quite a serious injury.

ly was appointed general superintendent

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.’’

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.
