After some discus- sion it was decided to change the charac- ter of the celebration into a Centre coun- ty “Old Home” week, to begin on Friday, July 2nd, and continue * until Thursday | evening, July 8th. All of Centre county will be asked to join with Bellefonte in making this one of the biggest and most interesting gatherings ever held in the county. The year 1915 is the 120th an- niversary of the founding of Bellefonte and the 115th anniversary of the organi- zation of Centre county. And in all that time there has never been a county Old Home week celebration, when the hun- dreds who have gone from Centre coun- ty to other parts of Pennsylvania and other States in the Union were invited back to renew old associations. While the plans for an Old Home week celebration are as yet in the embryonic stage at Wednesday evening's meeting such things were discussed as a big cir- cus for a day or two, if one can, be secured; aviation meets, horse rac- | ing, baseball games and other sports; a prominent speaker for three or four days ot the week, band concerts, special re- ligious exercises on Sunday, July 4th, and a big, old-fashioned Fourth of July dem- onstration on Monday, July 5th, which will be celebrated as a legal holiday all over the United States. The plans provide for an executive committee which will include one or more live men from every borough and township in the county, and real active sub-committees who will push the good cause along. Another meeting will be | held in the grand jury room next Tues- ! day evening, April 13th, and a general | long. ers serving time in the western peniten- tiary will be brought from Allegheny to Rockview to aid in the construction of | the new penal institution in course of | erection there, according to an announce- ! ment made a few days ago by Warden John Francies. About 130 prisoners are | working on the new buildings at present, | having been taken there from the west- ern penitentiary at various times during | the past eighteen months. The convicts, according to Warden Francies, will be housed in the large electric plant, one of the new buildings in the proposed group at Rockview that has been practically completed. Beds | and other paraphernalia for their com- | fort are now being installed. Warden Francies stated that it is the | intention of the officials in charge of con- | struction at the new institution to use as much convict labor during the coming summer as is deemed practicable. By | following this plan few men other than skilled mechanics will have to be placed {on the payroll. This may not be good | waiting for work to begin there in order to get a job, but it is in line with the pro- posed policy at the time the Act was passed providing for the new peniten- tiary., The convicts already at Rockview are now engaged in quarrying lime and sand stone, in preparation for a resump- tion of all work as soon as the weather permits. ITALIAN ON A RAMPAGE.—On Monday evening a young Italian from Pleasant Gap was arrested and confined to the Centre county jail on the charge of threatening to kill a young Italian girl, claimed to be his wife. It appears the young man and girl were married by "Squire Brown some weeks ago but the girl’s parents objected to the civil cere- mony. Recently she decided to take a trip with her uncle to Connecticut. They left Pleasant Gap in a buggy on Monday evening to come to Bellefonte for the evening train. The infatuated suitor followed on foot and arrived here shortly after the girl and her uncle. The latter had not yet gone to the depot and the young Italian ran back and forth from the depot to the bridge creating quite a racket and attracting a number of his countrymen. Fortunately policemnn Dunlap happened along about that time and upon being informed of the Italian’s intention placed him under arrest. He was relieved of his razor and marched up street to jail. All the way up street he cried loudly, but whether it was be- cause he had been arrested or over the loss of the girl is not known. At an inquiry before ‘Squire Brown on Tuesday the man gave his name as John Adams and denied contemplating harm to his wife. The razor belonged to anoth- er man and he brought it to town to be sharpened. He was discharged upon the payment of the costs. ARRESTED ON A SERIOUS CHARGE. —Howard Dixon, a young man living near Zion, was arrested on Monday even- ing on a statutory charge preferred by Miss Mary Sunday, of near Pleasant Gap. The warrant was sworn out by the girl's mother, Mrs. Annie Sunday, and the ar- rest was made by constable Horace Mus- ser and chief of police Harry Dukeman. Dixon was given a hearing before Squire W. H. Musser on Tuesday morning and the evidence against him was of such a character that he was held in $500 bail for trial at court. At this writing the young man is still in jail. ——Walkover dress shoes for men at| CENTRE COUNTY COUPLE JAILED FOR Fauble’s.

Every day brings in a large number of appli- cants. Most of this large number will of necessity be doomed to disappointment, as the State will not employ over two or three hundred men at the outside at any one time. - ooo — ——Wild geese flew northward over Bellefonte on Monday evening and from the loud, incessant homking a number of them must have gotten lost from the main flock. Wild geese have been flying to their nesting grounds in the north since the middle of March and this is a sure criterion that warm weather is com- ing, notwithstanding the fact that Phil- adelphia had a nineteen inch snow on Saturday. : ——The weather this week has been more spring-like than any we have had since winter set in. The storm doors at the Bush house were taken down on Wednesday. Reports from the country tell of farmers plowing and harrowing and garden making being under way. The country schools have closed and the children romping o'er the fields and by- ways. The birds are chirping gaily and the lilac buds are bursting, all of which are sure harbingers of good old summer time. —_— eee ——Drive away the blues by going to the Scenic.

O. Bennett, of this place, is now mak- ing an inspection tour over all the state highway routes in Centre, Clearfield and Clinton counties. A report of the condi- tion of these roads will be furnished to the chief engineer of the Department in Harrisburg and as soon afterwards as possible work will be started on putting the roads in as good condition as p ssi- ble with the amount of money on hand to carry on the work. It is expected that one hundred or more men will be at work on the roads in Centre county be- fore the first of May. : ——— eee ——As announced in turnout is desired, as the time in which | divided attention of the individual and | John P.

The couple, who claim to be husband and wife, moved to Mill Hall only recently from Millheim and occupied rooms over a blacksmith shop in that place They apparently had no means of support and suspicion was directed to them by the amount of money they spent on Monday. When the detective went to the Royer abode on Tuesday and charged the pair with having robbed | DeHaas they both protested their in- inocence. The man was handcuffed and an hour’s search made of their rooms without disclosing anything. Detective | Pettingill then secured a hatchet and was | on the point of breaking open a locked | trunk, when Royer stopped him and said | he would teli where the wallet was. He stated that it was hidden behind some heavy paper nailed to the rafters to keep the cold out. The detective made a i search and soon brought forth the wallet. i The checks were intact but the money all gone. Mrs. Royer then gave up $53 which she had tied in a roll and secreted on her person. recovered, and it is probable that a good part of it was spent. The detective took ty jail and they will likely be tried at the regular session of court which begins on Monday, April 19th. 5c sundaes served at Candyland 15-1t | hereafter at customer's request.

A new pair for every pair not satisfactory. ——Some unknown person or persons attempted to force an entrance into A. I. Garbrick’s smoke house at Valley View, on Tuesday night, but the barking of Mr. Garbrick’s dog scared the would-be robbers away. Mr. Garbrick got to the window in time to see two men disap- pear in the darkness, and fired one or! two shots after them as a warning. Later in the night a quantity of straw in his barn was discovered to be on fire, but as there was not much of it the heat did not become intense and with the help of neighbors the barn was saved from de- struction. It is Mr. Garbrick’s belief that the same men who tried to rob his smoke house returned and set fire to the straw in his barn. A pocket electric flashlight was found in the barn on which were the letters “J. R.” This had evi- dently been dropped by one of the men and its loss not noticed at the time. ——Mr. and Mrs. Lewis Lonsberry, having shipped their household goods to Corning, N. Y., will leave today to make their home temporarily in that piace. Mr. Lonsberry has been an engineer on the Central Railroad of Pennsylvania since it was opened for traffic about twenty-two years ago, and one of its most capable and trusted employees. During the past year or longer he has suffered with stomach trouble and his physician advised against his ‘continuing his work as an engineer. Consequently the Central Railroad of Pennsylvania company has given him an indefinite leave of absence and he and Mrs. Lons- berry decided to go to Corning for a year, at least. Mr. Lonsberry’s father is owner of a large vineyard near Corning and what work he does this summer will likely be among the grape vines in order to get the outdoor exercise and health- giving air. and his wife, Rev.
