Hikes in the Night and Other Do- | ings. By Corp. Harry J. Cohen. Camp Thomas J. Stewart, El Paso, Texas, November 11. Little did we imagine exactly four months ago today, when we landed here on the desert, that we would still be here at this time, without any more prospects of or certainty of our future movements than we had at that time. i We realize, of course, that from a mili- i tary standpoint we are now incompara- bly better than when we left Mt. Gretna, but there is an anxiety among the men ! to know at this time something more | definite as to our plans in the days to tents and lay out our equipment for in- spection. It was quite a compliment to hear that we were one of the best equip- ped troops in the regiment and when the order was issued to drop tents and re- ‘saddle, troop L was the first to report { to the Major. It was one of those occa- ‘ sions that made Capt. Curtin feel as | though he was bossing on a real job. We have now a hot water attachment | to our bath room, and while we admit it is somewhat of a luxury, still we would | prefer it on the second floor of some home on Spring street. It’s just a little ' too cool to fully appreciate the benefits that are derived after one leaves the | bath house. While writing this the First field artil- ! lery, of which Williamsport is a unit, is i loading its guns in preparation for its departure for home. The command ex- pects to leave Tuesday or Wednesday. | Except for a few slight colds the boys while he was a pretty sick man for a | come. All because outside of the long- 3r¢ continuing in excellent health, and few hours he is now getting along all right. —Dr. Ezra H. Yocum was in Altoona last night where he was the principal speaker at the fourth annual banquet at the Altoona Methodist Episcopal socia] union, which was held in the Grace M. E. church. A large buck was found in the reservoir of the Philipsburg Water company, last Friday, the animal hav- ing taken refuge there after being run down by dogs, and unable to get out finally drowned. ——Returning home from a trip to Bellefonte last Saturday Mrs. John Oden- kirk was walking up the concrete walk to the home of her daughter, Mrs. Abner Alexander, at Centre Hall, when she slipped and fell breaking her left arm. ——Mrs. Annie E. Krise, wife of W. A. Krise, of Centre Hall, who was stricken with paralysis two weeks ago, is consid- erably improved. Mr. Krise, who has also been ill since Memorial day, is now better than he has been for some weeks. ——The Parish Guild of St. John’s church will hold an exchage at the par- ish house, Saturday afternoon, November 18th, at two o'clock. Home-made bread, pies, cakes and candy will be on sale. A cordial invitation is given everyone to go and buy. ——MTrs. Melick, of Philadelphia, state secretary of the Pennsylvania woman’s division for national preparedness of the American Red Cross, will be in Bellefonte on November 24th or 25th, and will tell about the work. The place and exact date will be published in this paper next week. : ——Announcement has been made of the engagement of Miss Jennié Crittenden and Mr. Johnson, both of Waterbuy, Conn., the wedding to take place at Christmas time. Miss Crittenden is a daughter of the late Rev. Richard Crittenden, and lived much of her life in Bellefonte. ——Wiliiam B. Wallis, of Crafton, is a surgical patient in the Bellefonte hospital having been operated on Sunday morn- ing for appendicitis. Although the oper- ation was regarded as serious, Mr. Wal- lis is recovering rapidly from its effects. Mrs. Wallis is here with her husband, remaining with her parents Mr. and Mrs. J. Will Conley, for the fall. High class attractions in the motion picture line are now being shown at the Scenic every evening. They include some of the best modern dramas as well as scenarios especially written for the up-to-date moving picture companies. In fact there is no place in Bellefonte where you can get as much substantial entertain- ment for the money as an evening at the Scenic will afford. If vou are not a regular patron, try it once and see. A brief item in the “Watch- man” last week stated that Mr. Ceo. C. Wilson, of Tyrone, was the owner of the “Lady Luxury” show which appeared here last Friday evening and on Wednesday night of this week. This was a mistake. The show is owned and managed by Mr. Guy Rur- ley, who at one time had charge of the Wilson opera house in Tyrone, and it was this association that probably caused the rumor that Vir. Wilson was back of the “Lady Luxury” show. —Mrs. Thomas King Morris ‘was general chairman of the shirtwaist ball, given at Motor Square Garden, Pittsburgh, Friday night of last week. This was the most pretentious entertainment ever attempted by the suffragists of Pittsburgh and Al- legheny county, twenty-five hundred dollars being realized from the sale of tickets while three thousand persons attended the ball. The sub-chairmen represented the wealthiest and most prominent society women of the city. ——-Judge Singleton Bell, of Clear- field, has set next Monday, Novem- ber 27th, as the date on which to take test) nony in the case of the Common- wealth vs. D. O. Downing, charged with shooting with attempt to kill and attempted bank robbery. Witnesses have been subpcenaed to appear in court and give testimony. Inasmuch as Downing has already plead guilty it is believed that the taking of tes- timony will be in the line of informa- tion for the court in aiding him to determine the exact degree of Down- ing’s crime and what sentence should be imposed. ing to be home, there is such a vast dif- {knew what was to happen we could | make preparations accordingly. That is, | ; in making arrangements for the winter, i but as long as we do not know what is in the wind, we are just about summer- ing it along, same as we did a month or I so ago. | Last Sunday, against the wishes of nearly 1,200 men, the Colonel had us saddle up quite early in the morning, parade out on the field and then made us all look very pleasant while a local photographer focused his machine on the entire regiment. It is some picture, going to be the proud possessor of one will be taxed to the limit of two iron men, which 1s some blow, when one gen- erally has his pay spent far in advance of pay-day. Monday was another of the big fea- ture days, which are getting to be quite common in this part of the country. division review, staged for the sole ben efit of the election commissioners sent down by the great Commonwealth of Pennsylvania to take the vote of the citi- zen soldiery. The review was witnessed by an enthusiastic audience of El Paso- ans as well as the cavalry from Tennes- see and North Carolina who, it must be said, admit that we have a little on them when it comes down to the cavalry sub- ject. The election was pulled off as fine as any ward-heeler could have wished for. The day being proclaimed a holiday throughout the camp brought the voters out in full force, there not being any such thing: as a stay-at-home to be reckcned with. Sergeants Decker and Wetzel and Corporal Gordon were elected judge and inspectors. and they appointed Sergeant Deering and your correspondent as clerks. We opened the polls at exactly 9 a. m., and Capt. Curtin voted No. 1 just four minutes later. Each troop had its own polls located at the captain’s quar- ters, "but we fixed up two booths at the mess hall and they served the purpose admirably. The commissioner who hap- pened to be assigned to the cavalry regi- ment hails from Williamsport, but he never came around to give us a chance to become acquainted, hence my lack of mentioning his name. The voting was quite brisk, there be- ing fifty-four qualified elcctors in the outfit, and the polls were closed at 12 o'clock noon. On account of the extra work attached to recording the vote by counties the result was not announced until a little past four o’clock in the afternoon. In one case a new set of books had to be opened, just because Sergt. Smith is a resident of Blair county in our troop. The vote stood Wilson 21, Hughes 30 and one Prohibition, two men not voting for President. Orvis led Knox by a vote of four to one, which was gratifying to the Democrats for the com- pliment paid their candidate. The elec- tien board later went to the city to see the election returns which were thrown upon a screen by the leading newspapers of El Paso, and when we came back to camp about midnight the election of Hughes was conceded. But we know better now. The Republicans gave a little celebration party the follow- ing evening and now they are wonder- ing why they did it. Beside drilling, as we expect in the forenoon, we feel as though we can’t count on any time being rightfully our own, as on Wednesday night about 9.15 the call “To Arms” was sounded from headquarters and every nan in the regi- ment, whether he had retired for the and ordered to fall in line, fully dressed and armed with his rifle and pistol, and after a roll call had been made we were marched in review before the Colonel, then dismissed. Again on Friday night, at nearly eight o'clock, there was a sudden call of boots and saddles which brought the regiment to its feet, and again we were ordered to saddle horses and pack full equipment. It being moonlight the work was done in record time and we were then marched to Fort Bliss and return, a distance of four miles. This is all very lovely, but quite uncomfortable these cold nights. It is good military experience, but a lit- tle tough to be yanked out from between the warm covers and we feel here that our appetites would still continue if these little pranks were not pulled off. This morning, fully equipped, we marched out past Tobi and an order was issued by Col. Wood to pitch “puppy” nearly six feet long, and those who are | This time it was in the form of another’ and he is the only man of that section | night or not, was routed from his tent ! wish to be remembered to the friends at ,| ference in the weather that if we only + Ome.

Glenn, with troop B on the border, became a father on Tuesday when his wife gave birth to a little daughter at the home of its grand- parents, Rev. and Mrs. George M.

It is almost a mother’s duty to see James Kyrle MacCurdy’s new play of New York life which will te seen at Gar- man’s Monday evening, November 20th. The play is cailed “A Little Girl in a Big City,” and is said to be a splendid attraction teeming with humanity, humor and truth. Prices. 25, 35, 50 and 75 cents and a few at $1.00. > : ——On Wednesday of last week Dr. H. C. Helfrich, who has been a resident of Bellefonte the past three vears or more, moved his belongings to State College and will make that town his home in the future. He will still have charge of the five and;ten cent store on the corner of Allegheny and Bishop streets and will spend a day or two each week in Bellefonte looking after the business at the store and in practicing his profession. The remainder of the time will be spent at State College, where he also has a store. Mr. and Mrs. T. B. Budinger, of Snow Shoe, with their daughters, Misses Blanche and Sara, and son Karl, are now at their winter home in St. Petersburg, Fla., having made the trip south by automobile. They left Snow Shoe on Wednesday, October 25th, and made Ridgeville, Md., the first night. Thursday night was spent in Fredericksburg, Va., Friday night in South Hill, Va.; white Sunday was spent at Southern Pines, N.C. On Monday they motored as far as Co- lumbia, S. C.; Tuesday to Savannah, Ga.; Wednesday to Brunswick, Ga.; while Thursday and Friday were spent at Jacksonville, Florida. They reached Gainsville, Florida, on Sat- urday and the next day arrived at St. Petersburg. Good roads were found on about nine-tenths of the journey, while the balance was a little rough and rutty, but at that they were able to make an av- erage of twenty miles an hour. The worst stretch of road they encounter- ed was between Washington, D. C., and Richmond, Va. They will spend the winter in St. Petersburg. ead Deer Hunting Season Approacheth. The deer hunting season in Penn- sylvania will open just two weeks from today, or on Friday, December 1st, and Centre county hunters are anticipating some fine sport and good returns. It has been a number of vears since deer have been as plenti- ful in Centre county as they have been the past summer. In fact it has been no unusual sight to see herds of deer pasturing in the fields adjacent to the mountains, and even boldly crossing the valleys from one moun- tain to another. Hunters who have been out on the mountains for small game aver that the mountain roads and marshy land are literally covered with deer tracks. And they are not all does, either, as quite a number of bucks have been seen. Numerous hunting parties through- out Centre county have already pre- empted their camp sites and in ten days will be migrating toward the woods to have their camps in order and everything in readiness for the opening day. Just how many will go from Bellefonte is not known at this writing, but it is likely the town will be pretty well represented. I want to thank the chairmam of the | re 1 : i . Brother Shoots Brother While Shoot- ing Mark. | Allen Heisey, the twelve year old | son of Mr. and Mrs. Harry Heisey, of | Pleasant Gap, was shot in the head by , his fifteen vear old brother, Chester { Heisey, on Tuesday afterncon, and | | died less than two hours afterward. The two boys had on <everal previous occasions gone to the home of Samuel Zettle, near the fish hatchery, to shoot pigeons that the latter was trying to get rid of. Tuesday afternoon they, with another companion, went to the Zettle home to try their luck on the pigeons. Chester had a twenty-two calibre tar- get rifle. Failing to get any good shots at pigeons the boys got to shooting mark. Chester took deliber- ate aim and just as he pulled the trig- ger the younger brother ran in front i of the gun the bullet penetrating his head below the right temple. Help was promptly summoned and the boy was brought to the Bellefonte hospit- ‘al but he died chortly after being | brought to that institution. | In additicn to the grief-stricken | parents there survive the following brothers and sisters: Mrs. Ralph . Gilder, of Akron, Ohic; Mrs. Chester Dock, at home; Paul Heisey, of Pleas- ant Gap; Mrs. Paul Waite. of LaSalle, i N. Y., and Chester, at home. The fun- . eral will be held at two o'clock this | (Friday) afternoon, burial in the Pleasant Gap cemetery. Suffrage Association Convention. The call of the Pennsylvania Wom- ans Suffrage Association sent out during the past week, for its forty- eighth annual convention, to be held in Williamsport November 21-24 in- clusive, is very striking 'in appear- ance, heing printed upon brown paper and ornamented with a large gold seal in the center of which is stamped, “Votes for Women.” The tentative prcgram announces that Jonas Fisch- er, mayor of Williamsport, will make the welcome address and among the women who will take part in the pro- gram will be Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt, president of the national organ- ization; Dr. Anna Howard Shaw, hon- orary president of the national or- ganization; Mrs. George B. Orlady, State President; Mrs. Gifford Pinchot, Mrs. John O. Miller, Miss M. Carey Thomas, Mrs. Jean Kane Foulke and a number of other well known women of Pennsylvania. Charles Zueblin, Prof. of sociology in the Chicago University, and Hon. Louis F. Post, U. S. Asst. Sec’y of Labor, will he the speakers Wednesday evening. It is hoped that Centre county will be rep- resented by a large delegation, every precinct sending its delegate to this conference of women. George A. Beezer’s new garage on north Water street, the Centry county agency of the famous Studebaker car, is beautiful in architectural design and workmanship, and would be a credit to any location on the most prominent streets of the town. Now that the scaffolding has been remov- ed and the roof almost completed it stands out in bola relief in its location on Water street. Its broad facades and numerous pillars on the front of the building stand out in bold relief and harmonize splendidly with its many double windows of small paned glass. It at once conveys the impres- sion of solidarity and security, its construction of concrete, steel and brick rendering it as near fire-proof as such buildings can be made. When entirely completed Mr. Beezer will have a garage sccond to none in Cen- tral Pennsylvania, with ample size and equipment to care for his large and increasing business and plenty of room to store and show off to advan- tage he new Studebaker car. Arm Ground to Pieces in Corn Shred- der. While feeding a corn husker and shredder, on Monday morning, New- ton Yarnell, who farms the David J. Meyer farm near Linden Hall, got his left hand caught in the rapidly re- volving cylinder and before the ma- chine could be stopped his arm was literally ground to pieces up to the el- bow. The accident happened shortly after the men started to work in the morning. So tightly was Mr. Yar- nell’s arm drawn into the machine that it took almost an hour to extri- cate him. First aid treatment was given and he was then brought to the Bellefonte hospital where the arm was amputat- ed three inches above the elbow. He has suffered considerakle from shock, but is doing splendidly now and his speedy recovery seems assured, if no complications develop. Today will be Pennsylvania Day at State College and the ' usually large crowd is expected to be present. The big features of the day will be the exhibition drill by the college cadets and the State-Lafayette football game this afternoon. Last Saturday State defeated Lehigh by the score of 10 to 7, but there is no record to show their comparative strength with the Lafayette eleven. One thing is cer- tain, however, it will be a game worth seeing. NEWS PURELY PERSONAL. —J. J. Arney, of Centre Hall, was in Bellefonte on a business trip on Tuesday.
