[Continued from page 1, Col. 5.1 Of course there is plenty of gossip and speculation about CUNNINGHAM but the only thing that can be definitely learned is that he is a protege of Senator GEORGE T. OLIVER. When BRUMBAUGH was arranging for his big local option demonstration here some time ago he invited Senator OLIVER to preside at one of Senator replied that he would like . to oblige him very much but it would be impossible on account of plans previously made. Then CUNNINGHAM became a candidate, OLIVER'S plans were smashed and Dean Lewis, the Bull Moose candidate for Governor last fall, was here yester- day trying to revive interest in the dead bill providing for a constitutional conven- tion. The Dean is convinced that there is something wrong somewhere and wants to find a remedy. “Tke times are out of joint,” he imagines and the antiquated fundamental law of the State is to blame. Even ROOSEVELT can't stir up much enthusiasm and the Bull Moose is “a gonner.” But he didn’t make much im- pression here yesterday. - There will be no constitutional convention bill this year. In the House yesterday fifty-five bills were reported from committee. Most of these will be lost during the process of legislation but they will all be read “the first time” and help to swell the expenses of the session. A dozen of these re- lated to the Public Service Commission, some of which are worthy. A bill repeal- ing the personal registration act for third class cities passed the House finally yes- terday and a bill providing that when a candidate for Mayor of cities of the third class gets fifty-one per cent. of the total vote cast at the primary “he shall be the This dangerous measure has already passed the Senate and will now go to the Governor for .approval. The “dickering” for votes on the Local Option bill is still the principal indus- try on’the Hill and it has become as public and almost as exciting as a stock ex- change. Results may justify this innovation in legislation but there are a good many thoughtful citizens who will “have to be shown.” the corridors to-day are that several Philadelphians have been won over to the option side, and there is a rumor that there is some “stringing” of the Goyernor’s emissaries. Be that as it may the issue will be drawn next Tuesday and at this time “no fellah can find out” what the result of the vote will be.

DeHaas, of ‘Mill Hall, by Mr. and Mrs. Seam Royer, former Mill- heim residents. Since that time the au- thorities have unearthed the fact that Mr. and Mrs. Royer robbed the store of S. A.

Altoona, Tyrone, Milton and one or two other places furnished quite a number of ex- pert anglers who came to Centre county on Wednesday - in order to be on the ground bright and early yesterday morn- ing. Several parties spent the night in camp on Fishing creek and were out with the first streaks of dawn. The conditions, however, were not as good as they might have been. The morning was quite cold and the water rather lower than normal and unusually clear. These reasons are assigned for a catch that was not as big as usual on the opening day. In Bellefonte fishermen strictly observed the notices prohibiting fishing from the pavement on Water street but a dozen or more men braved the cold and waded the creek. A nume- ber made fair catches but such old-time anglers as T. Clayton Brown and Joseph Thal did not get a strike. Among the catches made were the following: Henry Miller caught the biggest one of the day below the Central Railroad of | Pennsylvania bridge. It measured 24 inches and weighed 4} pounds. Craig Grassmire, of Milesburg, caught near the | black barn on Logan’s branch five trout, | one measuring 22 inches, one 15, two 13 land one 10 inches in length. Cyril Moerschbacher got 16 at his morning’s | fishing; James Clark got 10, Thomas E. Mayes 6, John Bower 10, Kline Wood- ! ring 6, William Hull 9, and F. W. Crider ' 1, but it was over a foot long and he was "as pleased as any fisherman could be. | Harry Breon, of Axe Mann, caught 8; : William Ryan 4, John Curtin 2, Jack | Montgomery 5. { A few Bellefonters journeyed down | Fishing creek but they would probably | have fared better either on Spring Creek or on Logan's branch. The banks of Fishing creek were lined with men and : no unusually big catches were reported. : Boyd Carner, of Hublersburg, got 8, and | this was the biggest catch heard of on | that stream. ——. { GROCERY STORE CHANGES OWNERS.— { The deal was closed on Monday whereby | Claude Herr and Alfred Heverly became I the purchasers of the Robert Morris | grocery store on Allegheny street, taking charge of the same yesterday. Mr. Mor- ris retired on account of his health, the confining indoor work being too much for him. Mr. Herr, of the new firm, has for several years been timekeeper for the American Lime & Stone company at the Armor Gap plant. He is an energetic, progressive young man and is well liked by all who know him. Mr. Heverly has had years of experience in the grocery business, first with C. C. Shuey and . of late with Hazel Bros. With their knowl- edge and business experience they will no doubt get their share of the business of Bellefonte and vicinity.
