FuLLy ORGANIZED FOR PROTECTION AGAINST FOREST FIRES.—One year ago the Central Pennsylvania Forest Fire Association was organized to take care of the timberland on the Allegheny moun- tains, embracing the entire northern por- tion of Centre county. Although it was not possible to bring the organization to a state of great efficiency last year, yet those in charge did good work in extin- guishing mountain fires and cutting fire roads as a protection against the spread of fires. ——Frederick Kurtz, editor of the Lew- isburg Journal, has been recomended for the appointment as postmaster at Lewis- burg. He is a son of the late Hon. Fred- ' erick Kurtz, of this place, and has been a resident of Lewisburg some ten or twelve years. { —1It is very gratifying to note that : the law forbidding the tacking of adver- | tising matter on telephone and telegraph poles is being enforced in Bellefonte. | | Could we now rid the town of some of | the free advertising of tobacco, which ; J. M. Hoffman, of Johnstown, was the | greets you from every turn, much would forester in charge of the work last year, but during the winter he resigned and He has given much of his time to the work and has the district divided into twenty stations with a patrolman in charge of each station. More fire roads have been cut and every precaution has been taken to prevent forest fires this year. The patrolmen are so stationed that they can cover their own territory easily and go to the assistance of patrol- men on adjoining stations in the event of a fire. The association has been given state aid in addition to the annual amount subscribed by members and there is every reason to believe that the damage from forest fires on the Allegheny moun- tains in the future will be nothing in comparison to what it has been in the past, when thousands of dollars worth of timber was destroyed annually. MORE PRISONERS BROUGHT TO NEW PENITENTIARY.—Fourteen more prisoners were brought from the western peniten- tiary in Allegheny on Monday and taken to the new penitentiary in Benner town- ship, making a total now there of one hundred. One permanent building, about one hundred and twenty feet long by forty wide, has been “erected and this is used as a temporary prison. When the penitentiary proper is completed this building will be used as a work shop of some kind. The coming summer will probably witness greater building operations there than has been noticeable up to the pres- ent time. Most of the work so far done has been preliminary to the main opera- tions. The stone for the wall which will surround the prison enclosure of thirty- eight acres and which will be used in the various buildings will all be quarried on the prison lands on Nittany mountain. An incline railroad has been built from the prison site to the mountain quarries so that all stone will be handled in that way, and no horses will be needed for hauling stone. Other arrangements have also been completed for facilitating the building work when it is begun. Work on the death house is now being rushed by the contractors, Thompson & Starrett, of Pittsburgh, and it is expect- ed that this building will be completed and fully equipped before the summer is half over. FLORIDA LAND DEVELOPMENT CoM- PANY ORGANIZED.—The Centre county people who expect to organize a colony in Lake county, Florida, met in the grand jury room at the court house on Monday evening and organized the Florida Land Development company. About forty buyers and prospective buyers were pres- ent from Centre, Blair and Huntingdon counties, most of them being from Cen- tre. Thomas H. Harter presided and G. Willard Hall acted as temporary chair: man. The following officers were elect- ed: President, E. H. L. Page; vice presi- dent, Thomas H. Harter; secretary, G. Willard Hall; treasurer, C. W. Fluke, Al- toona; board of managers, John P. Har- ris, Rev. George E. Hawes, George T. Bush and Dr. R. G. H. Hayes, of Belle- fonte, and Levi Sparr, of Williamsburg. It was decided to incorporate the com- pany under the laws of Delaware and the president was authorized to take proper and legal proceedings to accomplish that end. Warren G. Ross, 2 graduate of State College and last year superintendent of the penitentiary farms, was engaged to take charge of the company’s land in Florida and develop same, putting out about five hundred acres in watermelons the first year. The company, by the way, has options on three thousand acres of land and the site of the proposed town of Bellefonte. CAPT. BROWN RECEIVES ORDERS TO RECRUIT COMPANY L T0 WAR STRENGTH. —Capt. William H. Brown, of Company L, Twelfth regiment, received orders on Tuesday to recruit his company up to war strength, or one hundred and fifty men, and convert it into cavalry instead of infantry. The captain got busy at once and he already has a fair list of applicants as recruits. While everybody is hoping that the peace negotiations in- augurated by Argentine, Brazil and Chile may result in ending the trouble with Mexico the fact that the War Depart- ment is going ahead with preparations for war looks as if the men at the head of it were rather skeptical as to the out- come. A navy recruiting station was opened in the Aiken block on Monday but up to yesterday there had been only one appli- cant; and as he is under the regulation size his application had to be sent to the Navy Department to be passed upon. — ee — —— Willis Wian has leased the stable on the rear of the Elks property and has converted it into’ a garage. He is the local representative of Keeler & Co., of | Williamsport, agents for the Franklin car, but his main object is the handling of supplies and doing repair work. { be accomplished in freeing it of that ‘ which is unsightly. George W. Sheeler, a State fire warden | at Snow Shoe, was selected as forester. | - SW ee ——The big maple tree, oneof the old landmarks of High street, was this week removed from in front of the State-Centre Electric company’s property and a new concrete pavement put down. The lat- ter, at any rate, is a decided improve- ment over the old and uneven brick pavement that was there. The company has not yet completed the foundation for its new building. a namin ——Thomas Shaughnessey Jr., who has been the efficient clerk in C. D. Case- beer’s jewelry store for several years past, gave up his job last Saturday when he heard that Company L, of which he is a member, was likely to be called out to take part in the threatened war with Mexico. Of course he had intended re- signing anyway, as he contemplates lo- cating in another town. ——The Postoffice Department has is- sued a circular covering the sending of farm produce by parcel post and invites all farmers who want to send produce to the cities in that way to send their name and a list of what they have to sell to the postmaster at Washington. When a suf- ficient number of names have been re- ceived they will be published and dis- tributed to all likely customers. ete ——Practically all the personal prop- erty of the Bellefonte Furnace company sold at sheriff's sale at the plant last Sat- urday and that sold at Scotia on Friday was bought by the representative of the Lowber Welsh estate, with the exception of mules purchased by H. Laird Curtin, Wm. Burnside, Dr. Brockerhoff and W. G. Runkle. On account of the inclement weather bidders were scarce and every- thing went at a low figure. men oe organize the Bellefonte Cemetery asso- ciation and select a new board of man- agers. Nothing has been done in this direction in years and a number of the board having died, the management of the association has been left to one or two individuals. They have done the work as good as their time would permit, but now think that younger men should be chosen on the board, and for that rea- son a meeting is to be heid in the near future to elect a new board of managers. ——It was just sixteen years on Mon- day since Company B left Bellefonte as part of the Fifth regiment N. G. P. to volunteer for service in the Spanish- American war. An interesting circum- stance probably not generally known is that it was on April 20th, 1898, when President McKinley sent his message to Congress asking authority to demand rep- aration from Spain for the blowing up of the battleship Maine, and it was on April 20th, 1914, when President Wilson sent his message to Congress asking au- thority to proceed against Mexico. vee ——1If you are sick you go to the doc- tor; if your tooth aches you go to a den- tist; if you are tired and sleepy you go to bed, all of which is absolutely right. But if you feel blue, kind of out of sorts because the day's work didn’t go right and want something to divert your mind, go to the Scenic. The motion pictures shown there will give you just the relax- ation you need. They will interest and entertain you and at the close of the pro- gram you will go away feeling like a dif- ferent person. For an hour's pleasant amusement every evening there is no better place than the Scenic. If you! don’t believe it, try it. ! Soe ee VERY MUCH OF A SURPRISE—Last Sat- urday night the friends of John Sampsel, who manages the Shugert “Blue Spring” farm, near Pleasant Gap, gave him the surprise of his life. It was the forty- ninth anniversary of his birth and his good wife and children decided that it should be properly celebrated. Accord- ingly they invited all of Mr. Sampsel’s friends who could be reached and he knew nothing whatever about it until such a number as literally packed the house stormed in on him at a given sig- nal. It is needless to say that John was delighted and that they all enjoyed every moment of it. Many presents were ten- dered him, one being a gold watch and chain from his children. ——The Buffalo (N.Y.) High school baseball team will be the Academy’s op- ponents this (Friday) afternoon at 3.30 o’clock. Weather and ground conditions permitting the game will be played on new Hughes field on east Bishop street. The Academy team has been playing a fast game ever since the opening of the season. They won their first game from the Altoona Collegians by the score of 5 to 3. Last Thursday they played the strong University of West Virginia team and held them to a 2 to 1 score, while on Monday they played a ten inning game with the Bloomsburg Normal win- ning by the score of 7 to 6. Today's game promises to be an exciting one, therefore don’t miss it. Admission, 25 cents. ——A movement is now on foot to re- ' BELLEFONTE CENTRAL RAILROAD MAKES GOOD SHOWING.—The twenty- third annual report of the Bellefonte Central Railroad company shows that during the year 1913 its receipts from all sources were $11,901.02 in excess of op- | | erating expenses, interest and taxes. During the year the company transport- | ed 72,140 passengers for which it receiv- ed $25,393.39, as against 69,031 passen- gers for 1912 at a revenue of $25,157.55.

H. Gardner vs. J. A. Bitner, of Centre county, affirming the judgment of the lower court and sustaining the verdict of the jury. The particulars in the case are as follows: Upwards of two years ago J. A. Bitner sold W. H. Gardner a horse which he guaranteed as sound in every particular. Both parties reside in the neighborhood | of Howard. The horse was sound enough but he was a persistent and inveterate kicker. When Gardner discovered the vicious nature of the brute he wanted Bitner to take the animal back but he re- fused to do so. The horse finally kicked himself to death, and then Gardner brought suit to recover damages. He was represented in court by N. B. Spang- ler while Bitner’s attorney was J. J. Kint- ner, of Lock Haven, who is now a candi- date for the nomination for Supreme court judge on the Socialist ticket. The jury awarded Gardner a verdict of $125. Bitner refused to accept the verdict and carried the case to the Superior court, and by Monday’s decision he is again a loser. The costs in the case will figure up about five hundred dollars in addition to the verdict. HicH ScHooL ALUMNI TO HoLD RE- CEPTION AND DANCE.—At a meeting of the High school alumni association, at the High school building last Friday evening, new officers were elected for the ensuing year as follows: President, Ches- ter Barnes; secretary, Miss Hazel John- son; treasurer, Miss Mary Ray. At that meeting the question arose as to the an- nual reception to the graduating class. Some of the members advocated a recep- tion and dance while others were in favor of a reception and banquet. Another meeting of the association was held on Wednesday evening to set- tle the matter. About fifty members were present and the matter was thor- oughly threshed out, the final decision being to give the usual reception and dance. Inasmuch as the armory will be in the course of remodeling at that time it will be impossible to get it for the re- ception,and a committee was appointed to secure the most suitable place that could be found. CLARKE— DELANEY.— John J. Clarke and Miss Kathryn Delaney, of Greens- burg, were united in marriage at the par- ish house of St. John’s Catholic church at eight o'clock on Tuesday morning by Rev. Father McArdle. They were at- tended by Miss Elizabeth Delaney and Michael Clarke. The two young ladies, who are sisters and former residents of Howard township, came to Bellefonte on Monday morning and stopped at the Bush house. The two young men, who are also brothers, arrived in Bellefonte Monday afternoon. A rumor became current that there was going to be a double wedding but such did not prove to be the case, two of the young people coming here merely to be witnesses at the wedding. Though married Tuesday morning Mr. and Mrs. Clarke did not leave Bellefonte until later in the day. Houck—Hoy.—A very pretty wedding was solemnized at Warriorsmark, at the Methodist parsonage, by Rev. Kebock, Wednesday evening, April 22nd, at 8 o'clock, the contracting parties being, M.

Woods Caldwell, was that choice and that his turning down in the manner, and at the time at which it was done, was a mat- ter of bad faith on the part of Mr. Palmer, not only to himself but to every voter in Clinton county who desired Mr. Caldwell’s appointment the day in all well regulated households. ! to the position. wa SEE —Mrs. Jacob Shirk, who has been visiting in Tyrone for two weeks, returned home on Thurs- day. —J.
