They Come to Bellefonte the Week
of July 2nd to 9th. Big Crowds
Will be Here Every Day.
i
If indications count for anything Belle-
fonte will be thronged with the biggest
crowds ever seen here in the history of
the town during the Centre county Old
Home week, July 2nd to 9th inclusive.
Everything is now crystalizing, and each
committee is rounding its part of the
program into shape so that when the
time comes affairs will move along like
an eight day clock.

tive committee on Tuesday evening it
was decided to have the firemen’s parade

place for automobiles, with a head man
and three assistants to look after the
cars and see that nothing is molested.
For this service the small sum of 25 cents
will be charged. Parking cf cars or
hitching of horses in the main part of
the town will not be permitted. In ad-
dition to the present police force six
members of the state constabulary and
six additional policemen will be here to
maintain order and keep undesirables
out of town.
Reichter, the aerialist, will reach Belle-
fonte July 2nd or 3rd and will make his
first flight on Monday, the 5th. His gas
is now on the way. He will give two
flights each day for a week. All the
other attractions will be here on time.

tee, has engaged Our Boys band of Miles-
burg, for Friday and Saturday;

Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday; the
Philipsburg and Aaronsburg bands for

front of his automobile supply store on |
Allegheny street, with one of the new
model registering pumps installed right
at the curb line.
——Miss E. M. Thomas gave a party
‘at the Nittany Country Club on Monday

and Mrs. Richard Lane, of McKeesport.
Twelve guests were present.
——NMiss Bertha Risk entertained her
Sunday school class and a number of
other friends, twenty-eight in all, on
Monday evening in honor of her twenty-
first birthday anniversary. Refresh-
rments were served and the evening was
sspemt very delightfully by all present.
——Lew. McQuistion seems to have a
{knack of catching big trout. On Mon-
day evening he went angling up in the
winimity of the railroad trestle and suc-
sceeded in landing a 23 inch trout which
weighed 43 pounds. Several evenings
previous he caught one which measured
19 inches and weighed 4 pounds. Each
one made a good trout meal for the
iMcQuistion family.
~—Mr. E. J. Hendrickson, of York,
‘Pa., the official decorator for the Old
Home week, arrived in Bellefonte yester-
day afternoon with two car loads of
material and a corps of assistants and
will go to work at once on the public
decorations on the streets, as well as
‘private buildings. Percons desiring dec-
orating done should consult him early as
the time is limited.
——Announcement has been made of
the engagement of Miss Mabelle A. Nor-
ris, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Henry T.
Norris, of Buffalo Run, and Harry Shan-
non Rimney, of Olean, N. Y., the wed-
‘ding to take place in the near future.

parade on Monday morning.

opened at 10.30 o’clock on Friday morn-
ing with, prayer by Dr. E. H. Yocum.
This will be followed by addresses of
welcome by burgess Edmund Blanchard

medals will be awarded the leading con-
testants. The baseball game on Satur-

and Blanchard, and already the backers
of both teams are laying wagers on the
result.
Monday will not only be celebrated as
the Fourth of July but it will be the day
‘when United States Senator Boies Pen-
rose will make an address. Another
drawing card for Monday afternoon will
be a baseball game between the Renovo
and Altoona P. R. R. teams. This will
be the first game played by these teams
in years and their coming together will
bring hundreds of backers from both
places. The peerless Donovan will um-
pire the game. As a fitting close to Mon-
day’s program there will be a monster
display of fireworks.

shoot under the auspices of the State

yet there will be plenty doing and
in the evening of that day is the time

competent stenographer in charge. Any
information desired can be obtained
there, or if you have any information to

Though nothing has as yet been defi-

of it will probably go down in history

church speaks for itself.
CENTRE COUNTY TO BE FAMED IN
MoTION PICTURES.—]. L. Adolphi, general |
manager, and W. Addison Lathrop, scen-
ario editor of the Universal Motion Pic-
ture company, came to Bellefonte yester-
day at the solicitation of George T. Bush
to look up the possibilities of taking pic-
tures here during Old Home week and
they were so impressed that they will
have two or more camera men here to
take the best parts of the weeks program
for their Universal
—One Bellefonte citizen, at least, |
is freshening up his properties so that |
they will look spic and span for Old Home |
week, and that is Mr. Jared Harper.
Painters are now at work on his double
house on south Thomas street; the.
double house on the corner of High and
Thomas streets, and his house on High
street. New concrete walks and steps
will also be laid at his properties on High
street, so that when the painting and
improvements are all completed they
will look very much like new buildings.
——The bass season opened on Tues-
day, but the event did not create very
much of a commotion among Centre
county fishermen. About the only stream
in Centre county inhabited by bass is
Bald Eagle creek from Howard east and,
as the water is high and choppy, condi-
tions were entirely against a good catch
on the opening day. However, a few
fishermen tried their luck and were re-
warded by small catches. Better sport,
however, is anticipated when, weather
and stream conditions become more
favorable.
——The members of the Pleasant View
Union Sunday school feel very grateful
to Mr. and Mrs .R. Russel Blair, for the
musical treat given them on Sunday,
June 6th. Also Mrs. R. G. H. Hayes,
who presided at the organ and contribut-
ed very much to the entertainment. The
Pleasant View Sunday school has a mem-
bership of over one hundred, and an
average attendance of about eighty.
While seldom heard of outside of its own
little circle it is probably accomplishing
as much good as some of the more pre-
tentious Sunday schools in larger places.
——The surgeons in charge at the Jew-
ish hospital, Philadelphia, give no hope
of a permanent cure of Mr. Aaron Katz,
who has been a patient at that institu.
tion the past six weeks. The bone at
the knee has become so frail that it will
not afford a natural support. However,
they expect to fit him with artificial sup-
port so that he will be able to get out
and around. Mr. Katz is expected home
some time time next week and will here-
after make his home with his son, Wil-
liam Katz and family. His apartments
in the Bush house were surrendered last
Friday and his furniture and belongings
moved to Will Katz’s home. Ever since
coming to Bellefonte Mr. Katz has lived
at the hotels and had been at the Bush
house for sixteen years.
—— During the past month the Penn-
sylvania railroad company has been run-
ning farmer’s trains from all parts of the
State to State College in order to afford
the farmers of Pennsylvania an opportu-
nity to see first hand what scientific
farming means. These trains have been
run about two a week and have been
very largely patronized. This week
there will be all told four such excur-
sions to the College, from the western
and northern parts of the State. These
excursions keep affairs pretty lively at
the College, notwithstanding the fact
that commencement is over. And next
week the summer course for teachers
opens and then there will be a large in-
flux of young men and women, especial-
ly the latter. Over one thousand appli-
cations have been received, but whether
all can be taken care of is not yet known,
as the appropriation for the summer
events.
And this will only be the beginning,
for before they are through Bellefonte
and Centre county will likely be so stag-
ed in motion pictures as to make our
good friend, Ellis Freeman, of Philips-
burg, turn all shades of green with envy.
According to the statements of the above
na med gentlemen, they will come here
right after Old Home week with a full
company of from 150 to 200 actors and
actresses and will stage a number of
scenarios among the stone quarries and
rock-bound scenery of Centre county.
STOCK OVERSUBSCRIBED.—At a public
meeting held on Wednesday evening the
stock required to finance the new Alpha
Metals company was oversubscribed. The
company recently purchased the old roll-

and are erecting a big building to use in

used in conjunction with the present

pany. The Alpha Metals company is a
