Hunter is now driving a big Franklin car which he purchased through Willis Wion, the local represen- tative of the Keeler Co., of Williamsport. The car is a 1914 model with all the modern improvements, and practically good as new. Among the last day appointments of Governor Tener were Irvin K. Camp- bell and David Hunter Jr., of Pittsburg, as members of the board of inspectors of the western penitentiary, and Abram Houser, of Benner township, this county, a justice of the peace. ——Robert Taylor, son of Mr. R. B. Taylor, who was so badly injured in a coasting accident several weeks ago, was taken to the Jefferson hospital, Philadel- phia, on Wednesday afternoon where he will be under the direct care of Dr. DeCosta, the eminent surgeon. Gordon Stevens, Randolph Coll and Boyd Kelly, three State College boys aged about fourteen years, ran away from home last Friday. At Altoona Coll became homesick and returned to the College while the other two lads left for Pittsburgh. At last accounts they had not returned. 2 i i ——The indoor base ball games at th Y. M. C. A. continue to grow in interest. Last Friday evening the grocery men de- feated the dry goods clerks by the score of 32 to 16 and on Tuesday evening the Match factory defeated the Bellefonte | Engineering company team 28 to 16. | The next game in the series will be played this (Friday) evening. ——0On Monday the students in the engineering course at State College had quite a scare when fire broke out in the students’ locker room in the engineering building. Quick work on the part of the students confined the fire to that room, but the flames were not extinguished until at least five hundred dollars worth of damage had been done. Textbooks and students’ clothing were ruined by smoke and water. . ——On Saturday Governor Tener named the week beginning March 8th, as the time for the electrocution of Ruzzo Tassone, of Lancaster, and the week of March 22nd as the time for Arthur Si- mons, of Tioga. On Monday he named the week of April 5th as the date for the electrocution of Nicolo Mordallo, of Fay- ette, which makes six men to be elec- trocuted at the new death house within a period of two months. ——The water famine in Centre coun- ty has finally been relieved. Monday’s hard rain did the work, and springs and wells that went dry last fall for the first time are now flowing freely. The streams are all well filled and the ground thor- oughly soaked, so that both man and beast can feel assured of enough water for all purposes during the remainder of the winter. Following Monday’s rain it blew up cold and the prophesied January thaw is not yet here. ——When the question is asked, “are you going to the moving picture show tonight?” you never ask “what show?” The Scenic is always understood. That's because everybody goes there at one time or another, and tnany people every evening. They go because they know they will see new and up-to-date pictures, have a pleasant hour’s entertainment and be entirely comfortable throughout the exhibition. And the Scenic is al- ways up to its reputation. ——Coasters, both children and the larger boys and girls, are flagrantly dis- regarding the order of the burgess to confine their sport to Howard street, and are coasting down most of the hills in Bellefonte. During the past week there have been two or three almost miraculous escapes and unless’ the promiscuous coasting is stopped there is likely to be another accident like the one on the Reynolds hill several weeks ago. Parents should exercise more vigilance over their children and see that they coast in safe places. | sical programs since the opening. The first day’s meetings were typical . ones. The great choir sang, Rev. Ful- ‘comer offered the invocation, Rev. i Sprague read the scripture lesson, and | Dr. Yocum led in prayer. When Dr. Orr | took charge of the meeting there wasa { manifest stir of expectancy and curiosi- ty. Before the service was ended the i audience forgot the man, and saw “Jesus only.” The morning audience was large- ly a church crowd. But the more than {1100 people who fillled the armory al- most to its capacity was a mixed audi- ence. “Where did all the men come fron?” asked one usher. It seemed as if there were more men than women. This is not surprising, for Dr. Orr has the rep- utation of reaching men wherever he goes. They are béginning to crowd his services already. Monday morning inaugurated one of the unique features of the campaign. Thirty-four men assembled in the store room of C. C. Shuey and held a prayer- meeting. It began on the minute—10 o’clock—and closed on the minute—10.20. It was lead by the Holy Spirit. The sec- ond meeting was at the Index. The third at Yeager’s shoe store, the fourth in Blair's jewelry store. These meet- ings are held wherever merchants offer their places of business. At the same hour each morning the women as- semble in groups in the homes, and en- gage in prayer for half an hour. These groups average about ten, and are grow- ing in’ ‘power. Monday night found a fine Monday audience assembled. More than 500 people were present. This, considering the fact that “it is wash-day at our house,” is a remarkable attendance for Monday. Tuesday’s crowd rose several hundred above this. There were 500 people in the armory five minutes belore the meeting began. Almost as many more came in later. It is an inspiring sight to look over the great audiences. Night after night there are new faces. The afternoon meetings which convene at three, are bible readings, so called, but are among the most wonderful meetings of the ‘series. Audiences are growing. Every person goes away saying, “that was fine? to" ; ' The announcements indicate that Sat- urday night and Sunday will have great services. Saturday night is Young Peo- ple’s night. It is expected that the ar- mory will be packed with young people. The schools and Sunday schools will march in a body through the streets, headed by the High school band—if all plans work out. Dr. Orr will preach on “The Four Most Important Things.” Then the Sabbath! Three great serv- ices at 11.00, 3.00, and 7.30. The 11.00 and 7.30 services will be for everybody. The armory should be crowded morning and night. Sunday afternoon “Men and boys only,” is the announcement. At 11.00 Dr. Orr's subject will be “Practical Religion,” at’ 7.30, “The Plan of Salva- tion Simplified.” For the men’s meeting, “The Devil's Detective” is the theme. Great music at all the services.

He stated that he represented two big furnaces at Reading and was here to look over the Bellefonte furnace with the possibility of leasing the same and putting it in operation. He had a very engaging and ingratiating manner and soon made the acquaintance of a number of Bellefonters. ‘On Wednesday he secured a Bellefonte Trust company check and changing it to the Pennsylvania Trust company, of Reading, filled it out for $35.00, signed Harry E. Campbell, and asked Mr. Wad- dle to cash it, which he did. On Thurs- day afternoon he went to State College on the alleged purpose of seeing Edward Erb, who, he stated, was going to assist him in raising $20,000 on which to start the Bellefonte furnace. While at the College he secured a First National bank of State College check, and after his re- turn filled it out for $50.00 and signed Erb’s name to it. Later he went into Philip Beezer’s butcher shop to use the telephone, as he had done several times previous, and when through talking he asked Philip if Ed. Erb’s check was good for fifty dollars. Mr. Beezer told him it was and he then produced the forged check and asked him to cash it. Mr. Beezer did so and the stranger left town the same night. : Naturally when the Erb check was sent to the State College bank it was at once pronounced a forgery. And just as naturally when the check cashed by Mr. Waddle reached the Pennsylvania Trust company, Reading, it was immediately protested and returned marked “No funds.” Mr. Beezer at once swore out a warrant for Campbell's arrest and the police throughout the State are on the watch for him, but so far he has not been discovered. ! stitution on Tuesday. ee AAA — | ——While acting in the capacity of offi- i cial scorer for the indoor baseball game at the Y. M. C. A. on Tuesday night J. Thomas Mitchell, Esq., was the victim of an injury that will keep -him housed up for an indefinite time. Clyde Long, for the match factory team, was at the bat and in striking at the ball the bat slipped out of his hands and flying across the room hit Mr. Mitchell on the left leg be- tween the ankle and knee. It was at first feared that the bone was broken and he was carried out and taken home. An examination disclosed the fact that there was no fracture but the flesh and mus- cles are very badly bruised and Mr. The accident was very unfortunate and long. AMONG the Sick.—Joseph Apt Jr., was announced in last week’s paper, con- tinues in a critical condition. and Mrs. Harry C. Valentine, is in the for appendicitis. Jacob Smith is coafined to his home on Bishop street with an attack of pieurisy, following quite a szige of rheumatism.

Miles, of Milesburg, is also re- ported to be seriously ill. ene vor rn KILLED ON THE RAILROAD.—Mrs. Pres- ton Seyler of near Rebersburg, was run down by a train on the Philadelphia and Erie railroad at Sunbury on Tuesday afternoon. She and her husband were on their way to Collegeville, Montgomery county, to make their future home. While waiting for a train at Sunbury Mrs. Seyler walked up the railroad track and failed to hear a train approaching in the rear. The engineer failed to notice her until it was too late to stop. Mrs. Seyler was a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George Winklebleck, and was born at Wolfs Chapel thirty-one years ago. She was married to Preston Seyler in Decem ber, 1904. In addition to her husband she is survived by her parents and two sisters, Mrs. Charles F. Lingle, of Belle- fonte, and Mrs. Calvin Gilbert, of Aarons- burg. The remains were taken to the home of her parents where the funeral will be held tomorrow. Happy GOLDEN WEDDING CELEBRA- TION.—At least one day in the long wed- ded life of Mr. and Mrs. Isaac Miller, at the Toll Gate, was strewn with gold and flowers, and that was last Saturday when they celebrated their golden wed- ding, Potted plants and cut flowers, done up in white and gold paper, were literally showered upon them, and the wonderful profusion served as a part of the beautiful decorations of the house. The flowers came from friends in Phila- delphia, Lock Haven, Tyrone, Clearfield ‘and other places. About one hundred guests were present including Mrs. Fleisl.er and daughter Margaret, of Phil- adelphia; Mr. and Mrs. E. W. Stine, Mrs. J. B. Williams and Mrs. John B.

From there the guests went to McGinleys, on Thom- as street, for a part of the evening, end- ing at Miss Fitzgerald’s, Miss Jouan’s hostess.

Murray Andrews, were hostesses at a party and dance given Tuesday night at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Tyson, on the Hale farm, a short distance from town.

ING.—The Centre County Threshermen ‘and Farmers’ Protective association held their annual meeting in the grand jury room at the court house on Thursday, January 14th, 1915, with a large attend- ance—more than the seating capacity of the room.

Yearick, Bellefonte; secretary and treasurer, Isaac Underwood. The only change in the officers was the resignation of H.

Attention was called to the splendid fight made last year which compelled the Highway Department and the politicians | to give heed to the farmers. Petitions signed by farmers, as much as a man | could carry, having gone up to the High- , way Department remonstrating against | « the law in regard to cleats, and damage | ‘to rotten bridges and public highways i brought about the suspension of the law in regard to cleats and liability for dam- ' age to roads and bridges, pending action | ! of the Legislature now in session. : President Hart gave an outline of a ‘new bill drafted by the state organiza- | tion to be presented to this Legislature, which cuts in halt all license fees and ! establishes the right of the traction en- | gine upon the highway under proper rules and restrictions. The movement in the last Legislature, and the spirit of the Highway Department last year, was to put the agricultural traction engine off the public highways. This did not quite succeed, but it made every man who did not have his engine refitted, a law breaker, liable to arrest and fine. For the present all traction engine owners will observe that the license law of 1913 is in force, requiring every trac- tion engine to be registered before it goes on the road. The license fee is $10.00 for a less than ten ton engine. A 1915 application blank must be used, in which there are no objectionable fea- tures. The farmer is interested in this organ- ization because a rigid liability law is sure to pass this Legislature, and the farmers must see to it that inconvenient restrictions are not placed upon the op- eration of his domestic machinery by power. It is the purpose of this organization to look after all these matters and in so doing ask the financial and moral sup- port of the threshermen and farmers of the county. The membership fees are as follows: Threshermen, $3.00; far- mers, $1.50. A certificate of member- ship will be forwarded by Isaac Un- derwood, treasurer, Bellefonte, Pa., up- on receipt of the above fee. Every thresherman and farmer who can should attend the state convention at Harrisburg, February 15th and 16th.
