BIG MIDSUMMER FESTIVAL AND CARNI-
VAL OF FUN—ONE DAY ONLY.— The
Frank A. Robbins all Feature Shows will
hold forth at the ball grounds, in Belle-
fonte, on Monday, August 3rd. The
show will come here fresh from its East-
ern tour, and with a line of acts and a
program of snappy surprises that will be
hard to equal. For the last thirty-four
years Mr. Robbins has been catering to
the public, which in turn wants the best
for its money. With the Robbins shows
people are sure to get the best and a
whole lot more, as Mr. Robbins has this
season the neatest and the cleverest pro-
gram of features that he has ever had
yet. For the thriller, and it is all that
the name implies, he has secured Hilary
Long, the famous upside-down-man.
Long has been, until a few weeks ago,
the main out-door attraction at Coney
Island and at Young’s pier, Atlantic City.
While standing head first on a slender
rope at the lofty heights of the big top-
tent, he deliberately slides twice daily to
the arena below while standing on his
head. This is positively the greatest fea-
ture attraction ever carried with a circus
and is bound to startle and surprise the
most skeptical. The All Feature Shows
have a grand outlay of acts that are
worth while. Countless wonders and a
menagerie of dens of wild beasts, along
with trained dumb brutes in performanc-
es that are astounding. Riders, ropers,
aerialists, gymnasts, and in fact every-
thing that makes a really good show are
to be found with the Robbins Circus.
Kenneth Waite and his company of
clowns will deal out the laughs. There
will be a big parade in the morning, also
a concert at the grounds in the evening.
The show will arrive over the Pennsylva-
nia lines from Lock Haven and will pitch
their tents on the ball grounds.
SOLDIER Boys RETURN HOME.—Troop
L, Bellefonte’s National Guard cavalry
organization, returned home from the
annual encampment at Selinsgrove about
7.30 o’clock on Saturday evening. They
were a dusty and tired looking bunch,
most of them somewhat sore from the
vigorus weeks work, but in the main
none the worse for their first experience
as cavalrymen. Though new and inex-
perienced they deported themselves well
and from unofficial reports made a very
creditable showing. Capt. Brown
and his whole troop are to be congrat-
ulated on their work on the field.

——While down at the Dr. Hiller
camp on Fishing creek, last Saturday,
Harry Ott, son of Mr. and Mrs. William
Ott, of Bishop street, accidentally shot
himself through the right leg above the
knee with a revolver. Dr. Hiller dressed
the wound and it is healing nicely.
STOVER.—Mrs. Maria Stover, wife of
Isaac Stover, died at her home in Zion
about eleven o’clock Sunday night, after
a long illness with cancer. Her maiden
name was Kauffman and she was born in
Spring township on March 20th, 1848,
making her age 66 years, 4 months and
6 days. About thirty-five years ago she
was united in marriage to Isaac Stover
and for almost a quarter of a century
they lived on a farm in Spring township.
A few years ago they retired to a cosy
home in Zion where they have since
lived. Mrs. Stover was a life-long mem-
ber of the Lutheran church and a good
christian woman. She was unusually
kindhearted and unselfish and an excel-
lent neighbor, so that her death is uni-
versally mourned by the community in
which she lived.
Surviving her are her husband and two
children, Cora S., at home and Joel B.,
on the old homestead. She also leaves
three brothers, Benjamin and John, of
Spring township, and Amos, of Zion.
The funeral was held from her late home
at ten o'clock yesterday morning, burial
being made in the Zion cemetery.
| KILLED BY KICK OF A HoORSE.—Henry
: Felmlee, an aged resident of Boggs town-
| ship, was kicked on the head while out
| with his son Laird, who was mowing
— | 8rass on the farm occupied by Mr. and
' Mrs. George Shuey, in the Curtin gap,
last Friday morning, had his skull crush-
| ed and died while he was being brought
! to the Bellefonte hospital. Mr. Felmlee
went out with his son because of having
to hitch a colt in the mower. The colt
did not work well on the off side and
they changed the team. Mr. Felmlee
was walking alongside the team when the
son hit the colt to make it pull its share.
The animal kicked and hit Mr. Felmlee
on the head, crushing his skull. A phy-
sician was summoned and realizing the
seriousness of his condition he started to
bring him to the hospital but he died on
the way up.
Deceased was eighty-four years of age
and spent most of his life in Boggs town-
| ship. He was a laborer by occupations
and a hard-working, industrious man.
He was twice married. His first wife
was Miss Eliza Cox, who died many years
ago. Surviving him by this wife are the
following children: Stewart Felmlee, of
Kane; Elmer, of Hyner; Harry, of Cen-
tre Hall; Mrs. James Bartley, of Jackson-
ville, and Miss Mary, of Bellefonte. His
second wife was Miss Eliza Teirney, who
is} also dead. Of his children to her
the following survive: Mrs. George
Shuey, of Curtin’s Gap; Irvin, of Belle-
fonte; Roland, of Orvis; Mrs. Jefferson
Brenneman, of Huntingdon; Constance,
of Union Furnace; Mrs. Elmer Aikey, of
Curtin, and Laird, at home. He also
leaves two brothers, Howard Felmlee, of
Renovo, and Frank, of Lock Haven.
Funeral services were held in the M.
E. church at Curtin at one o'clock on
Sunday by Rev. Snyder, of Howard, after
which burial was made in the Curtin
cemetery.

MULLEN.—Mrs. Mary Hinkle Mullen,

day night of peritonitis. Two weeks ago
she fell down stairs sustaining injuries
which at first were not considered serious
but later developed into peritonitis caus-
ing her death.
sixty-one years ago. Her early life was
spent in that city but about forty years
ago she came to Bellefonte with her hus-
band and lived here until after the
death of Col. Mullen, when she
returned to Columbia and made her
home with her sister, Mrs. Wyke. She
was a member of the Lutheran church
in Bellefonte who sincerely mourn her
death. While Mrs. Mullen never aspired
to leadership in the various charita-
ble undertakings of the women of

Deceased was born in Columbia about |
all her life and had many warm friends !
W. H. MACKER COMMITTED TO JAIL.—
On Monday J. W. Snyder, a deputy Unit-
ed States marshall of Harrisburg, came
to Bellefonte with a commitment from
Hon. Charles B. Whitmer, of Sunbury,
judge of the United States district court,
and delivered to sheriff Arthur B. Lee
W. H. Macker, a well known resident of
Bellefonte, who was held in contempt
for failing to obey the mandate of the
court and make proper return of moneys
due W. Fred Musser and other creditors
in a voluntary bankruptcy case in which
Mr. Macker was defendant.
, The case dates back to the fall of 1912,
“when Mr. Macker, who conducted a
green grocery in the room now occupied
, by H. R. Bell in the Crider building, and
“also bought and shipped farm produce
and apples, became financially embar-
| rassed and took out papers of voluntary
- bankruptcy. Within a few weeks prior
to his going into bankruptcy he had
shipped from Bellefonte and sold in
| Pittsburgh and Ohio markets three or
four car loads of apples. At the hearing
| which followed the bankruptcy proceed-
'ings Magker failed to account for the
' proceeds of the apples as well as other
| money.
An investigation was made which dis-
: closed the fact that he had received in
| the neighborhood of eleven hundred dol-
i lars which he had not declared or ac-
counted for. He was given ample time
, to make an accounting and faiiing to do
so the case was thrown into the United
| States district court. The case was
; heard before Judge Whitmer who issued
' a mandate requiring him to make resti-
tution of the amount of money in ques-
tion within a certain time or go to pris-
-on. Mr. Macker failed to make restitu-
tion or even a declaration, hence his be-
ing committed to jail on Monday. The
commitment to Sheriff Lee states that he
is to be held until discharged by due pro-
cess of law.
| While the hearing before the local
referee in bankruptcy, H. C. Quigley Esq.,
disclosed a discrepancy of $1105.00, Judge
' Whitmer reduced the amount to $700 and
in his opinion handed down in June gave
him thirty days in which to make settle-
| ment, and it was his failure to do so
| that landed him in jail.
Clement Dale Esq., was recently retain-
‘ed by Mr. Macker and petitioned Judge
Whitmer to have the proceedings opened
i but the judge declined to so order. Mr.
, Dale stated that Mr. Macker cannot raise
| the money required by the court and it
| is his expectation to make an application
for his discharge at the end of three
! months’ time under the insolvency laws
of Pennsylvania. But as this is not a
case that comes within the jurisdiction
of the laws of Pennsylvania, but under .
the laws of the United States, the proba-
bilities are that Mr. Macker will remain

SOME PROSPECT OF ROAD IMPROVE-
MENT.—The ten days that have passed
since it was decided that the automobile
license fund should be turned over to the
State Highway Department for main-
tenance and repair of roads, have dem-
onstrated according to the Highway
Department that the amount of work
necessary to put the highways in good
shape far exceeds expectations. The
amount involved in the 1914 fund was
approximately $1,150,000 while $250,000
remained from the unexpended portion
of the 1913 funds. In view of the late-
ness of the season, the State Highway
Department has decided not to begin re-
surfacing on State highways until the
general condition of the roads has been
improved,work on which is now going on
in many parts. The amount of State-Aid
maintenance money now remaining is
about $25,000.
In the district comprising Centre,
Clearfield, and Clinton counties main-
tenance work aggregating $10,384.69 has
been authorized to date this year. In
Clearfield county $200 is being expended
in maintenance work on the road ex-
tending from the borough line of Clear-
field to the intersection of the road with
Glen Richey. In Sandy township, Clear-
field county, $200 was expended in main-
tenance on the 12,300 feet of macadam
road running from DuBois borough to
Brady township line. In Decatur town-
ship, $41.76 is needed for repairs on the
14,045 feet of macadam road commenc-
ing at Moshannon creek,near Philipsburg
and extending out the old Erie Pike to a
point near Graham Station on the road
to Blue Ball. The road running from
Woodland Village at Pa. Railroad to
Lawrence township through Bradford
township, a distance of 21,352 feet of
brick and telford macadam construction
will need $150 for repairs. In Lawrence
township, the brick and macadam road
connecting with Clearfield borough at
Daisy street to the intersection of the
road in Bradford township a distance of
one and one-half miles will need $50 for
repairs.
; The Clinton county, Lamar township,
one and one-half miles of telford ma-
cadam road built in 1909 running from
the borough line of Mill Hall following
the line of the old turnpsike near the vil-
lage of Salona is taking $917.14 to repair,
a force of men and a team having been
at work there for some time. The de-
partment has furnished no estimate of
amount necessary to put the State high-
ways in this, Centre county, in good con-
dition nor of the amount they will have
to expend for that purpose.

BELLEFONTE ARMORY REPAIRS NEAR-
ING COMPLETION.—The remodeling and
repairs of the Bellefonte armory are fast
nearing completion and when finally done
the building will be so changed that the
| members of Troop L will hardly recog-
nize it. The large areaway which origi-
nally comprised the main entrance has
been built up and makes one big room
on the first floor which will be used as a
property room. Next to this on either
side is an entrance wide enough for two
men to march abreast. On the left hand
equipped with toilet, etc. Back of itis
: the quartermaster’s room. On the right
hand corner are two reception rooms, one
for ladies and the other for men, both
equipped with toilets. On the second
floor of the front part of the armory is a
: large room which will be fitted up asa
| music room and recreation hall. On
| each side is a smaller room which will be
‘ used for property purposes.
' In the main room of the armory the
stage has been removed and the entire
space will be devoted to drilling purposes.
In the basement will be installed a bath
room, with tub and shower baths. A
new slate roof has been put on the build-
put it in first-class condition. Concrete
‘steps and walks will be built from the
| Spring street pavement to the two en-
| trances and the remainder of the ground
lin front will be leveled, terraced and sod-
ded. When completed Troop L will
have as good and comfortable an armory
| as any command in the State.

i HURT IN AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENT--Henry
Davis, of Tyrone, formerly of Bellefonte, |
was badly hurtin an automobile accident
last Friday afternoon, on the old Kepler
| farm in Ferguson township. Davis, who
| is agent for the Overland, sold Hon. J.
: W. Kepler a car and was showing him
how to operate it. Kepler was at the
wheel and in crossing an old road lost
control of the steering wheel with the re-
sult that he ran the car into the fence.
The machine struck a post and Davis was
bones were broken but he was badly
shaken up and it was at first feared hurt
inwardly. He was taken to State College
where he was given medical attention
and on Saturday taken to Tyrone to the
home of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. J.
McC. Davis. He has since been improv-
ing.
Kepler was uninjured but one wheel
of his car was wrecked and the fenders
badly twisted. On Saturday, however,
he had the car repaired and with a regu-
lar chauffeur at the wheel gave his
friends a ride on Sunday.

and the same were on Monday handed
over to Burgess Blanchard for the collec-
~tion -of the stipulated fines. The bor-
ough authorities have been exceedingly
| forbearing in the matter of enforcing

. there has been a disposition on the part
of motorists to regard it very much as a
‘ joke, so far as keeping to the right side
! of the street and running their machines
i with the cut-out wide open. This is true
‘pot only of strangers but among local
| motorists as well, as was evidenced by
the fact that among the numbers taken
fon Sunday were those of two borough
. councilmen who helped to pass the ordi-
{ nance.

i Bellefonte should make it their business
| to find out what the traffic regulations
are; failure to do so should not excuse
them if they do not observe the ordi-

| BRUCE WILSON WINs GOLD COIN FLOUR
CONTEST.—Bruce Wilson, an inmate of
! the Pruner Home for Friendless child-
| ren, won the Premo Juvenile auto for
| having turned in the most orders in the
| Gold Coin flour contest inaugurated by
| G. R. Danenhower & Son. His total was
110,375 pounds, or almost 51} barrels.
i The seven highest contestants showed
the following results:
NAME
Bruce Wilson.
Carl Stahr....
! Joseph Jodon
rge Brow
Gilbert Noll..
Paul Brandon..
Edwin Miller...
Total 27,675
The judges in the contest were C. E.
Robb, J. Will Conley and W. Harrison
Walker, and they all certified tc the cor-
rectness of the above count.
The above total of 27,675 pounds
would mean 138% barvels or a little over
two-thirds of a car load, so that the boys
did remarkably well. The advertising of
this contest was all done in the WATCH-
MAN and that, with the good quality of
Gold Coin flour were other features that
entered into the success of the contest.
While all the contestants could not win
the auto both Carl Stahr and Joseph Jo-
don deserve great commendation for the
good efforts they put forth.

THE THIRD UNION VESPER SERVICE
Will be held next Sunday evening at
7.00 o'clock, on the plaza in front of the
High school building. The attendance
last Sunday evening was much larger
than at the first meeting The air was
delightful. = The declining sun cast a
glow of soft coloring. The twilight add-
ed a restful feature. The gospel mes-
sage from the lips of the venerable
“man of God,” the Rev. Dr. Yocum,
brought humanity’s best Friend to the
door of each heart. The large audience
sang with a will, “Onward, Christian Sol-
diers” and “Throw Out the Life-line.”
The two strokes of the church bell in-
creased the solemnity of the occasion.
The whole scene, with streets and build-
ings surrounding, was attractive and in-
spiring. “Weary after a week of the
world,” come to this service next Sun-
day evening and worship Him who has
promised: “Peace I leave with you, my
peace I give unto you; not as the
World giveth, give I unto you. Let not
your heart be troubled, neither let it be
afraid.”
“Come up higher, come up higher,
From the lowland and the mire,
From the mist of Earth—desire,
From the vain pursuit of pelf,
From the attitude of Self;
Come up higher, come up higher.”
ROBBED EMPLOYER THEN SKIPPED—.On
Memorial day a young man who gave
his name as Hugh Boyles, and his' home
Pittsburgh, applied to farmer Frank
Swabb, of Ferguson township, for work.
Mr. Swabb employed the man and on
Sunday evening while the family were at
church he took $18.00 in bills and change
belonging to Miss Grace Swabb, arrayed
himself in one of Mr. Swabb’s suits and
left for parts unknown. The last seen of
him was about eight o’clock in the even-
ing, when he was noticed walking along
the White Hall road, headed for Penn-
sylvania Furnace.
The young man was a good worker,
pleasant and affable, and was taken in as
one of the family. When the fantily
went to church on Sunday evening
Boyles was left in charge of the house
and hardly had they disappeared from
sight when he pilfered the money and
clothes and took his departure. Another
sum of money in a bureau drawer was
overlooked. Boyles is described as about
26 years old, 5 feet 5 inches tall, of slight
build, weighing about 130 pounds. He
has light sandy hair, wears glasses and
wore a light gray suit.
——Last Saturday evening John E.
Bowes, of Beech Creek, attempted to
shoot a dog because of its killing chick-
ens. He had a twelve-gauge shot gun
and when he pulled the trigger the gun
exploded. A hole was blown in the steel
barrel close to the cartridge chamber
and particles of the powder and shell
were imbedded in Mr. Bowes’ face. He
also sustained quite a gash on his fore-
head. Fortunately when he pulled the
trigger he closed his eyes and this act
saved them from injury. ‘His injuries
are not considered serious.
——An automobile which attracted
considerable attention in front of the
Bush house, on Wednesday, was the
“Simplex,” 1914 model. It was a ninety-
five horse power machine, and the own-
er averred that he had driven it at the
rate of eighty-two miles an hour. The
car was a four-cylinder one, of six pass-
enger capacity. The cost, equipped as it
is, was $6,200. It was one of the finest
cars ever seen in Bellefonte. The party
