ORVIS ‘AND QUIGLEY WIN JUDGESHIP
| FIGHT AT TUESDAY'S PRIMARIES.—Judge
Ellis L. Orvis and Henry C. Quigley will
be the candidates for Judge of Centre
: county at the election in November, hav-
ing won out in the five cornered fight at
Tuesday’s primaries. There were some
surprises shown by the returns, the prin-
cipal one being that Orvis was seven
hundred votes behind Quigley. But
when the vote is analyzed it will be seen
that the total Democratic vote out was
less than three thousand while about
four thousand Republican votes were
polled. J. Kennedy Johnston, who was
backed by the temperance people of the
Clement Dale
There were no contests on the Demo-
cratic ticket outside of Burdine Butler's
candidacy for the nomination for County
Commissioner, but Commissioners Wil-
liam H. Noll and D. A. Grove were easily
nominated. :
On the Republican ticket the big sur-
prise was how near Adam Hartswick, of
State College, came to defeating David
Chambers for the County Treasurer
nomination, the latter winning by only
148 votes. All of which shows that the
‘latter turned a neat trick for himself
when he corralled the entire vote of Snow
Shoe township. Had it not been for his
wholesale support there he would have
been beaten. Harry Austin, of Miles-
burg, and Isaac Miller, of Bellefonte, re-
ceived the Republican nomination for
| County Commissioner and William H.
Brown again won out for Recorder. The
tabulated vote of the non-partisan and
| Republican tickets will be found else-
where in this paper.
There was also some juggling of ballots
in Bellefonte borough, one of the sur-
prises being the defeat of Harry Badger
for the nomination for Overseer of the
Poor... The complete returns for the

grams every evening and all new pictures.

nated by a hard rain on Saturday even:
ing, which not only cleared the at-

feeling more satisfied over the way the
corn crop is maturing.

one hundred people will be with the

——Several months ago Henry Wea.
ver, of Howard, was discharged from the:
Danville asylum apparently cured of a;
derangement of the mind. Lately he
grew worse and on Monday evening he:
was brought to Bellefonte and arrange-
ments made to take him bagk to Dan-
ville. Weaver, while in the care of
several friends, made a sudden dash
down High street and got away from his’
keepers. Search was made all over town
but he could not be found anywhere.
Tuesday noon he was seen on the ‘road
near Shiloh and the state police at Pleas-
ant Gap being notified went out and
brought him in. He was then placed in
jail for safe keeping and Wednesday
morning was taken to Danville by officer
Dukeman.
— Just 501 people left the Bellefonte
depot Saturday night on the Niagara
Falls excursion. The train carrying the
the crowd consisted of twelve cars and
two engines. While stops were made at.
stations between Bellefonte and Howard
few people were taken on as the train
v.as already filled up. The train left
Bellefonte at 12.40 a. m., and did not
reach Niagara Falls until 10.45 o'clock,
almost three hours late, as it was sched-
uled to arrive there at 7.55. There were
four trains over the Bald Eagle Valley
and returning they left Niagara Falls at
intervals from 3.00 to 4.55 o’clock. Six
trains were also run from Harrisburg
and the total number of people on the
excursion is given as 6,135. Bellefonters
arrived home about two o'clock Monday
morning.
——Three graduate nurses of the
Bellefonte hospital, Misses Lila Coble,
Margaret McFarlane and Margaret Row-
an, have been notified- that they passed a
most successful examination before the
State Examining Board for nurses and
are now entitled to tack “R. N.” (regis-
tered nurse) onto their names. This
entitles them to follow their profession
anywhere in the United States, and per-
haps the world. Miss Coble will locate
in Harrisburg, Miss McFarlane in Lock
Haven and Miss Rowan in Tyrone. This
makes six nurses who have graduated
from the Bellefonte hospital who “have
successfully passed the examination of
the State Board, and to their credit be it
said that they were able to answer ques-
tions and stand a more rigid test than
nurses turned out by the city hospitals.

themselves but for the high standard of

CEADER’'S BAKERY TO ‘BE MODERNLY |
EQuiPPED:—~To meet the demand for
high-class bread and cakes Mrs. Joseph
Ceader has decided to equip her bakery
throughout with the very latest and
most up-to-date machinery. In fact the
machinery is now at the freight station
in this place and next week experienced
men will come to Bellefonte to install
the same. The equipment will include
mechanical mixers for both bread and
cakes, automatic weighers and handlers,
bake pans, etc. In fact no part of the
bread or ingredients that enter into it,
will come in contact with the hands.
The flour is weighed and run into the
mixer, ingredients are put in and every
process is by machinery, even the mould-
ing of the loaves, weighing them and
placing in the baking tins.
If the present bakery is not large
enough to accommodate the new equip-
ment Mrs. Cedar will remodel the building
in the rear of her present store and use
it for additional space. In addition to
baking bread which will meet the
present day demand special attention
will be given to baking cakes of as high
a quality as can be bought anywhere.
When the equipment is fully installed an
experienced baker will be secured for a
sufficient time to thoroughly instruct a
local baker how to operate it, and with
such facilities the Ceader bakery ought
to be able to supply all the local trade,
and keep the bread business at home in
preference to sending it to surrounding
towns and cities.

day Dr. Livingston and a party of friends

ENDING.—The Grange encampment at
Centre Hall came to an end on Friday
with the breaking of camp. Thursday's
crowd, while not as large as in some
previous years, was estimated at from
six to eight thousand. Dr. Mary Wolfe,

present, but Miss Louise Hall entertained
the crowd with an out door meeting,
talking from the tonneau of an automo-
