It is because manager T. Clayton Brown puts forth unusual effort to secure a class of pictures superior to the average program, the kind that he believes Belle- fonte people with their utmost discrim- ination will appreciate. Most of the high class pictures on the market today are put out as features and it is this kind of films that Mr. Brown endeavors to show. > CENTRE COUNTY THRESHERMEN ORGA- | NIZE FOR SELF PROTECTION.—Centre county threshermen on Monday entered a vigorous protest against State Highway Commissioner E. M. Bigelow and the Highway Department in general for what they deem unjust discrimination against them in the rules promulgated for the operation of traction engines on state highways; rules that are not embodied in the Highway Act and which are incor- porated in a contract which the applicant must sign before a license will be issued to him. The above action was taken at a meet- ing of threshermen held in the grand jury room at the court house on Monday afternoon, called by representatives of the various manufacturers of traction engines for the purpose of organizing a local branch of the Pennsylvania Thresh- ermen and Farmer’s Protective Associa- tion. Threshermen and farmers were present from all over the county and thirty-seven men signed the roll and paid their membership fee of $3.00. Seven more signified their intention of doing so and promised to send in their member- ship fee within a few days. The associa- tion was organized by the election of the following officers: President, W. K. Corl, of State College; vice president, John S. Yearick, Bellefonte; secretary, H. Laird Curtin, Curtin; treasurer, Isaac Under- wood, Bellefonte. The president appoint- ed the following executive committee: Charles Corl, Boalsburg; Wallace White, Bellefonte; W. D, Diehl, Nittany; Henry Lewis, Bald Eagle; N. Frank Kreamer, Millheim. The gentlemen who were here to assist in the organization were George Toadmire, of Williamsport; O. C. Shaef- fer, representing the Frick Manufactur- ing company; R. W. Ingram, represent- ing the Huber company and L. W. Dun- kel, representing the Kase company. .. When the original applications for licenses for traction engines were sent out by the Highway Department last fall they simply contained a clause requiring the licensee to operate his engine in ac- cordance with the provisions of the State Highway Act. Frank Yearick, of Spring township, made application for a license on January 3rd, and was granted license No. 65. In the meantime a set of eight or more very stringent rules were made up by the Department and attached to the application for a license. Two of these rules, especially, are claimed by threshermen to be very drastic “and un- fair. They are rules Nos. 7 and 8. The former provides that “all damage done to bridges of any kind, and all damage done to reconstructed or improved roads, whether state highways, state-aid high- ways, county roads or township roads, by the operation of a traction engine thereon shall be repaired by the owner or owners of said traction engine.” This, the threshermen claim is entirely out of rea- son, as they pay their pro-rata of road tax and should have as much right to use the roads as automobilists, drivers of teams or any other person. Rule 8 is ob- jected to because it gives the right to the Highway Commissioner to make any other rules or regulations he may see fit for the governing of the operation of traction engines on highways of any kind. When the old application blanks were recalled and the new ones sent out the threshermen put their heads together and decided not to sign the contract. One thresherman crossed out the rules and sent in his application accompanied by the necessary cash for a license. Both were returned with a notification that no license would be issued unless the con- tract was signed. The threshermen aver that they will not sign the contract and if they can’t get a license without so do- ing they will allow their machines to stand idle. This brings the matter right up to every Centre county farmer. For what good will it do him to grow a crop of wheat, oats, rye, barley, etc. if he can’t get a machine to thresh it. - Mr. Toadmire told the threshermen that the same trouble occurred a few years ago in New York State under High- way Commissioner Carlisle, but when the matter was explained to him in the prop- er light he did the right thing, and he be- lieved if the proper pressure were brought to bear against the Pennsylvania State Highway Department the same thing ‘could be accomplished. A meeting will be held in Harrisburg on April 7th and 8th to organize a state association of threshermen and fully a dozen Centre county men signified their intention of ‘attending. Every thresherman and farmer who at- tended Monday's meeting was intensely in earnest, as the questions involved are such as come directly home to all of them. : AN UNUSUAL ATTRACTION.—As a rule the dramatization of a popular book is dis- appointing, the books furnishing only the idea, making it necessary to take liberties that cause the characters to lose their identity when presented in dramatic form. The one possible exception is “The Virginian,” the play being produced shortly after the first edition of the book was sold. Book and play alike possess a romantic charm and literary grace that has placed them at the top of unqualified success. Jones and Crane’s magnificent production of “The Virginian” will be the attraction at Garman’s this (Friday) evening, and that it will prove one of the really enjoyable offerings of the current season seems assured. Prices, 25, +55, 50, 75 cents and $1.00. — re — ——Remember that the WATCHMAN costs you no more than the cheapest pa- per in the county. Cross gas and coal range. Also four or five second-hand stoves done over, good as new. MILLER'S HARDWARE STORE, Allegheny street. 59-13-3t. ——William F. McGovern is now at his home in this place nursing a severely sprained back. He worked ina barber shop at State College and last Thursday night was sitting on a chair tilted back against the wall. The chair slipped and he fell quite hard, causing the injury which now confines him to the house. —Sixty-five students from the chem- istry department of State College left on Monday on an inspection trip which will take in manufacturing concerns in Pitts- burgh, Buffalo, N. Y., the American and Canadian side of the Niagara Falls Pow- er company, and several of the other manufacturing cities in the western part of the State. The party will be in charge of Profs. J. B. Churchill and F. J. Kauf- man, and will be away until April 11th, the beginning of the Easter vacation. ——Manager T. Clayton Brown has secured the right to exhibit the new kinemacolor motion pictures at the Scenic three days next week, beginning Monday. Matinee every afternoon as well as evening exhibition. The kine- macolor is the latest thing in moving pic- tures as every object is shown in natural colors. Mr. Brown has also booked “Quo Vadis” for Friday, April 17th. This is the greatest motion picture ever produc- ed and comes in eight reels. Don’t forget the date. ——The annual convention of the In- tercollegiate Prohibition Association of Pa., will be held at State College on Saturday and Sunday, April 4th and 5th. The annual oratorical contest will be held April 4th, at 8 o’clock, in the College Auditorium. Eleven men, representing local leagues of eleven colleges of this State and of New Jersey, will compete in the contest for honors. The winner is eligible to represent this State Associa- tion in the Inter-State contest. The win- ner also receives a cash prize of $50. ——Several weeks ago the Philadel- phia papers published a story in effect that Gen. John P. Taylor, of Milroy, had placed an order for a bronze coffin and statue of himself to be made out of old cannon captured during the Civil war. The General has many warm friends in Centre county and he desires them to know that the story is incorrect. He has placed an order for a maussoleum and coffin, but they are not to be made out of captured cannon or bronze, but mere- ly the regulation material. And he has given no order for a statue of himself. ovo ——Burgess J. W. Stein, of Philips- burg, not only put the lid down tight on Sunday business but sealed it up so hermetically that any one desiring ice cream for their Sunday dinner must get it on Saturday night; as dealers were notified that they would be subject to arrest if caught delivering cream on Sun- day. Verily there seems to be a rivalry among the mayors. and burgesses of Pennsylvania to see which of them can issue the most drastic edict and the pub- lic are constrained to wonder if they are as conscientious in their practice as they are in their precept. BELLEFONTE FURNACE PROPERTY SOLD AT SHERIFF'S SALE.—The Bellefonte Fur- nace property was sold at sheriff's sale last Friday on foreclosure proceedings for $52,000. The property included the furnace with its full equipment, the ore mines at Scotia; a valuable limestone quarry in Buffalo Run valley; several tracts of land aggregating over five hun- dred acres, and the ore rights on between three and four hundred acres additional. The sale was held at the court house at one o'clock Friday afternoon. After reading a description of the prop- erty sheriff Lee announced that tax claims from Patton and Spring town- ships and Bellefonte borough had been filed against the same aggregating $4,481.01, and that the property would be sold subject to said claims. The bidding was started at the face value of above claims by Carlyle Howarth Ross, of the law firm of John G. Johnston & Co., at- torneys, of Philadelphia, who represent- ed the heirs of the J. Lowber Welsh es- tate, holder of the mortgage, which was for $66,000. A representative of Claster & Co., bid $10,000, and between the two the price was run up to $48,000. Clas- ter’s last bid was $47,000. Just as the property was on the point of being knocked down to Ross at his bid of $48,- 000 A.C. Mingle; representing the Chem- ical Lime company, bid $49,000, Ross made it $50,000, Mingle $51,000, Ross $52,000 and the property was finally knocked down to him at the latter’ figure. The. Bellefonte furnace was built by the Collins brothers in 1887 and’ it was the building of the furnace that led to the building of the Bellefonte Central" railroad. The latter was finally extend- ed to State College and a few years ago to Pine Grove Mills. The furnace was operated quite successfully a number of ‘years and finally passed into a new man- agement. It had several seasons of idle- ness and was closed down finally about three years ago. The purchasers of the property have no intention of operating the same, but will dispose of it to the best advan- tage possible to realize on their hold- ings against it which, with accrued in- terest, amount to about $78,000. FOR SALE. — One combination Red | FONTE.—Vance C. McCormick, of Harris- burg, one of the candidates for the nomi- nation for Governor on the Democratic ticket, accompanied by William H. Berry: i Bellefonte visitors yesterday. They came : here from Lewisburg, where they spent the night, having with them Charles G. Miller, a staff correspondent of Mr. Mc~ Cormick’s paper, the Harrisburg Patriot. They were met at the depot by D. Paul Fortney, acting county chairman, John J. Bower, W. Miles Walker and John Seb- ring Jr. and Robert F. Hunter with automobiles. The visitors were taken to the Brockerhoff house and after register- ing and shaking hands with a few peo- ple assembled there Mr. McCormick ex- cused himself and made brief calls on Miss Alice Wilson and Henry and Miss Mary Hunter Linn. From ten o'clock until twelve Mr. Mc- Cormick held a reception in the Brocker- hoff house office, Mr. Berry being there only a part of the time. There was no attempt at speech making, it being mere- ly a social political gathering. It is im- possible to give an accurate statement of the number of people who went to the Brockerhoff house for the direct purpose of seeing Mr. McCormick. The WATCH- MAN reporter was there most of the time and among the crowd were noticed prob- ably less than forty people from around through the county. Among them were George L. Goodhart, of Centre Hall; John Smith, of Spring Mills, a candidate for the postoffice at that place; A. Nevin Meyer, of Linden Hall; Howard Moore, of How- ard, who also wants ot be postmaster, and Col. John A. Woodward, W. M. Cronister, of Martha, a State Senatorial candidate, and John A. Williams, of Port Matilda,who wants to go to the Legislature. There were a few others here from out of town, but they were in Bellefonte on other busi- ness. In the crowd were also observed quite a number of Republicans, who know Mr. McCormick personally and who merely called to pay their respects. Of course quite a number of Democrats called to meet the Harrisburg gentleman, but at no time during the two hours of the re- ception was the hotel office crowded, and many prominent Bellefonte Democrats were conspicuous by their absence. From Bellefonte McCormick and Berry went to State College where they spent the afternoon and night, expecting to go to Tyrone today. REBERSBURG Boy WINS ORATORICAL CoNTEST.—The county oratorical contest arranged by Prof. R. U. Wasson for a prize of twenty-five dollars offered by the First National bank of Bellefonte was held at the High school building last Fri- day afternoon. There were six con- testants: Russell Auman, of Rebersburg; Henry Mingle, of Miles township; Forrest Miller, of Harris township; Walter Rathmell, of Walker township, and Orrin Farrell and Richard Steel, of Philipsburg. All the contestants did very well but the prize was awarded to Russell Auman, who spoke on the subject, “What We Owe to Lincoln. The judges were Col. Hugh S. Taylor, James C. Furst Esq., and James R. Hughes. The full list of con- testants and their subjects is as follows: IL—"“The Debt We Owe to Abraham Lin- coln”—Russell F. Auman, Rebersburg. 11.—"“Touissant L'Ouverture’’—Wayne Bryan, Mile:burg. —“The Decisive Battle of the Rebellion” '—Orris Farrel, Philipsburg. IIL 1V.—"The Chariot Race,”’—Philip Hall, Miles- burg. V.—“Abraham Lincoln”—Forrest Miller. Boals- burg. VI.—*Wolfe at Qty, ’~Henry Mingle, Aarons” burg. VIL.—"“The Permaneics of America,”’—Walter Rathmeli, Hublersburg. VIIL—"“Character the Basis of Credit"—Richard Steele, Philipsburg. This was the first contest of the kind ever held in Centre county and Prof. R. U. Wasson deserves considerable com- mendation for originating the contest and planning it out to such a successful issue. It is to be hoped that some way can be provided to make this contest an annual event in Centre county. Russell Auman, the winner of the prize, is a pupil of the Rebersburg High school and, although he is lacking a few days of being fifteen years old is an ex- ceptionally bright young man. He is a son of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Auman and his public speaking training was received under William C. Strack, principal of the Rebersburg High school. While only one of the contestants could win the prize all the others deserve con- siderable credit for the manner in which they delivered their orations. IT WAS THE FIRST OF APRIL.—On Wed- nesday morning Dr. Thomas C. VanTries came down town on his way over to the Penna. railroad depot and in front of the Bush house he espied a very nicely done up package lying on the pavement. The doctor picked it up and from the weight of it must have thought it a brick of gold, or a gold brick. In either event he pro- ceeded to open it and found a brick all right, but it was only an ordinary brick, then the fact dawned upon him that it was the first day of April. Just because of this the doctor can hardly be blamed for dealing in gold bricks. Notice TO CEMETERY LOT OWNERS.— Lot owners who wish their lots cared for during the coming summer should make arrangements with Mr. G. W. PORT, su- perintendent, before May 1st. Cash should accompany the order. 59-14-3t ——If you always want to have the best take the WATCHMAN and you'll have it. 1 MCCORMICK AND BERRY VISIT BELLE- NEWS PURELY PERSONAL. —Luther Dale, of Oak Hall, was in Bellefonte on a business trip last Saturday. —Sidney Bartlet, of Tyrone, was in Bellefonte . : | over Sunday visiting his parents, Mr. and Mrs. collector of the port in Philadelphia, were !

Mr. Grifin’s visits to Bellefonte are made only when business compels his presence at the county capital, as he is too busy looking after that store of his to go dawd- ling about where he has no business, and that is one reason that he is always so warmly welcom- ed when he does come.
