A. B. classes of the U. B. church will hold an international supper on Thursday, February 1st. The Central Railroad of Penn- sylvania is now harvesting fifteen inch ice, which is almost as clear as a crystal. The Philipsburg Chamber of Commerce has been selected to repre- sent the employment bureau of the Department of Labor and Industry in Centre county: The members of Troop L and the Boal machine gun troop who be- long to the U. B. congregation were tendered a reception in the church on Tuesday evening. A branch of the Children’s Aid society was formed in Philipsburg last week. Miss Laura Crissman was elected chairman and has asked that any destitute or neglected children in Philipsburg or Rush township be re- ported to her. The State Board of Charities has recommended an appropriation of $14,000 for the Bellefonte hospital for the ensuing two years and $437.- 833 to the western penitentiary. The last session of the Legislature gave the penitentiary only $360,000. Do not fail to read the opening chapters of “K,” our big new serial which will be found on page six of this issue. If you start the story we know you will want to finish it, as it is intensely interesting from the be- ginning until the final paragraph. An examination for clerk and carrier in the postoffice service will be held at the Bellefonte postoffice on Saturday, February 10th. Age limit, 18 to 45 on date of examination. For application blanks and full informa- tion address Oliver P. M. Smith, Bellefonte postoffice. A. M. Singhizer, of Renovo, son-in-law of ex-sheriff D. W. Wood- ring, who early last summer was so severely injured in an automobile ac- cident, on Sunday fell on the icy pave- ment near his home and broke his left leg, the same one which was so badly done up in the accident last summer. Miss Jennie Morgan and Miss Ohnmacht have rented the flat over Ceader’s bakery expecting to leave the Shoemaker building in the spring. Miss Morgan has planned to continue her shop and treatment, while Mu. and Mrs. Seanor will take possession of their new flat in the Aikens build- ing the first of February. The Bellefonte High school girls basket ball team was no match for the High school girls from Lock Haven, the latter defeating them on the Y. M. C. A. floor last Saturday afternoon by the score of 28 to 3. Notwithstanding its onesidedness the game was very interesting because of the spectacular playing of the visi- tors. Augustus Wian, a brakeman on the Bellefonte Central railroad, sus- tained a broken leg on Tuesday even- ing. The crew was shifting cars at Alto and Wian climbed on a freight car to loosen the hand-brake. The brake wheel flew around and knocked him off the car, fracturing his leg. On Monday John Davis, a fireman on the train, had one foot hurt when a big lump of coal fell on it. “Watchman” readers who de- light in our customary Pine Grove Mills letter will suffer disappointment this week at not finding it. Our wver- satile correspondent, Capt. W. H. Fry, is in Harrisburg this week attending the thirty-fourth annual meeting of the Pennsylvania State Veterinary Medical association, which is being held in conjuncticn with the big corn show. He was elected vice president of the association, an honor he richly deserved. ——On Sunday morning the Hon. John Noll and Geo. R. Meek started to Philipsburg, in the latter’s motor, in order to attend the funeral of the late Sol. Schmidt. They had been as- sured that the roads were open and proceded as far as Port Matilda be- fore they discovered that the roads from there over the mountain were really only open for sleds. However they continued going and by bucking snowdrift after snowdrift finally reached the top of the moun- tain, three miles beyond Flat Rock. There their driver slid into a ditch and it was all over. For the wheels would do nothing but spin and the big car wouldn’t move either forward or backward. After working about an hour to get out they gave up in dis- pair and sent Edmund Thompson, the driver, back down into the valley for a team. They had a three hour wait before it arrived and the blizzard that was raging all the time had almost snowed them in completely. : STEAM HEAT TO BE CONTINUED. ! Citizens’ Committee Will Operate | Plant During Entire Season, Unless Sold. The steam heat question has been ‘finally settled and the plant will be {operated up until June first by the | Citizens’ committée unless it is sold {in the meantime to some responsible | party who will also agree to operate lit. It took three meetings of the com- | mittee within a week to finally reach {the above decision. Meetings were ' held last Thursday and Friday even- ! | ings, and again on Monday evening. i At the latter meeting Edward F. | Richard, chairman of the committee [to secure pledges of increased pay- ment for the months of February and { March, reported that out of one hun- | dred and thirty-six letters and pledges i sent out one hundred and four had | been returned, signed. That the re- | ceipts from this number would be $4,353.59. Thirty-two of the present users, representing almost $1,000, had either refused or not yet declared what they would do, although it was the belief of the committee that some of them will continue the heat. Col. W. Fred Reynolds stated that during the month of January the com- mittee had purchased coal to the amount of $2,547; the freight paid was $923; hauling, $165, and labor, $681.33, a total for the month of $4,316.33. The committee still has on hand, however, about two hundred tons of coal which they think will be sufficient to run the plant this month. But against the above expense the committee has received from steam heat consumers $2,123; bills to the amount of $500 still unpaid, and vol- untary contributions and pledges to bring the amount up to $3,798, or almost $600 short of the expense of operating the plant for the month. Col. Reynolds further stated that in ‘the above expense was included the high price the committee had to pay for the first seven cars of coal pur- chased, which was two dollars a ton more than they are paying now, but the increased revenue for February and March ought to be sufficient to carry them through. He further stated that a fund of from $500 to $1,000 ought to be solicited in pledges as a guarantee against any shortage the committee might find at the close of the season, said fund not to be collected until needed, and if not need- ed not collected. On motion the chair- man was empowered to appoint a com- mittee to solicit the fund. Mr. Richard, chairman of the com- cittee on pledges, stated that it was his understanding of the matter that all users who refused to pay their as- sessment for February and March will be cut off of the service on Feb- ruary first, and asked if that was the decision of the committee. He was informed that it was but all such users can get back on the line any time by paying their assessment. A motion was then passed authoriz- ing the operating committee to go ahead and run the plant until the end of the season and they will be given the united support of the Citizens’ committee of fifteen. F. E. Naginey was present and made inquiry regarding the gas, as he claimed he has been living off of chafing dishes the past six months. Col. Reynolds stated that the com- mittee spent about two hundred dol- lars trying to make gas but found a plant entirely inadequate to the town, so was compelled to abandon it. And that until the plant is sold, if it is sold at all, he can give no assurance of gas. The business of the nieeting being concluded the committee adjourned. Sent to the Reformatory. Ray C. Dugan and Harry Hugg, the two young men of Philipsburg who, on Monday night of last week broke into Louis Finberg’s store in that place and carried off several hundred dollars worth of goods, plead guilty to the charge of larceny and at a special session of court on Fri- day morning were sentenced to the Huntingdon reformatory by Judge Quigley, being taken to that institu- tion on Saturday. When the young men were called for sentence Judge Quigley, after ad- monishing them on the evil of their ways sentenced them to not less than one nor more than two years in the penitentiary. District Attorney James C. Furst then called the court’s attention to the fact that Dugan was only nineteen years old and Hugg twenty-four and in the former’s case, especially, it being his first offense, it was a question if the law didn’t spec- ify a reformatory sentence. On look- ing up the law it was found that the sentence was at the discretion of the court but in order not to be unduly hard on the young men the Judge asked them where they would prefer going, to the western penitentiary or Huntingdon reformatory and they both chose the latter place, and the court then changed the sentence. He also told the young men that if their conduct at that institution warranted it he would ask for a parole for them in six months. ~——Put your ad. in the WATCHMAN. An ! chanics Institute of Rochester, N. Y., { will conduct a course of lessons in | practical dressmaking in Bellefonte | during the month of February. $5.00 {for 12 three hour lessons. All inqui- | ries may be referred to Miss Mary : Miles Blanchard. { —There is a fascination about the | motion picture that is irresistible to | the average lover of wholesome amusement, and when the pictures are | of the high standard shown at the ! Scenic it is only to be expected that | people flock there night after night | to see them. That is the reward man- ager T. Clayton Brown receives for securing only the best obtainable. Even the casual visitors in Bellefonte know that the Scenic is the place to go. Raymond R. Jenkins, son of Mr. and Mrs. Harry E. Jenkins, of Tyrone, who the past ten months has been working in the alternating de- partment of the General Electric Co., at Schenectady, N. Y., is now at the plant at Lynn, Mass., where small motors are made on a large scale. From there he will go to the Boston office of the company and later to Philadelphia. Since graduating at State Raymond has been making good as an electrical engineer. A friend of the “Watchman” writes that now is the time of year for fruit growers to prepare for a good crop next year. Mulch your fruit trees with manure, sawdust or earth, piling it about a foot deep in a circle around the tree, but keeping a foot away from the tree. This will keep the ground frozen under the mulch and prevent the sap from flowing and buds starting until all danger of freezing is past. If you have never tried this do so this spring. The forty-ninth annual meet- ing of the Central Pennsylvania con- ference of the M. E. church will be held at Lewistown beginning March 21st. It will be forty-seven years since the conference was held there. Bishop W. F. McDowell, of Washing- ton, D. C., will preside. Rev. D. N. Miller is pastor of the Lewistown church and he and his committee of arrangements are already hard at work getting affairs in shape for the entertainment of the conference. ——Charles Bachelor, game protec- tor of Philipsburg, was in Bellefonte on Tuesday and issued probates for 85 weasels, 44 foxes, 9 minks and 1 wild cat. At least three men brought in five fox pelts each for probate. One of the men told the writer that a nice red fox pelt is now worth from $8.50 to $9.50. It requires four of them to make a fur set, which would make it rather costly by the time the furs are placed on the market. At Millheim on Wednesday Bachelor issued probates for 44 weasels, 12 foxes and 3 minks, the total value of the probates for the two days being $257.00. On Monday Harry Weaver, of Nittany, started for Lock Haven with a load of hay. Between Mill Hall and Flemington he got caught in a high wind which upset the load of hay into the ditch. Weaver left the hay and returned home intending to go down Tuesday and reload it. Before going home, however, he put a lantern at each end of the load as danger sig- nals. About 10.30 o’clock that night the hay caught fire and burned to ashes. Whether it caught fire from the lanterns or was maliciously set on fire is not known, but Mr. Weaver is out the value of the hay. The large photoplay, “Civiliza- ation,” is to be shown at Pastime the- atre, State College, Monday, Februa- ry 5th. This is one of the first show- ings of this wonderful production in the State outside of Philadelphia and Pittsburgh, and the management of the theatre has informed us that it will be shown with full orchestration and music as specially written for it, and as now being shown in Philadel- phia. The orchestra is under the leadership of Miss Mabel Smith, who renders the peace song in the produc- tion. They advise early reservation of seats which are now on sale at Sim, The Clothiers, Bellefonte. The pro- duction is a wonderful masterpiece and well worth going much farther to witness. From present indications the number of public sales this spring will be quite large. L. Frank Mayes, the well known auctioneer of Lemont, has been booked for thirty four sales up to Tuesday evening of last week, every day being taken for March and the latter part of February. Every one of the thirty-four sales are big farm stock and implement sales and will take most of the day to sell. On the basis of what stock is now bring- ing at sales Mr. Mayes estimates that the sales for which he is booked ought to total close to one hundred thousand dollars. Last spring his sales amounted to between eighty and eighty-five thousand. Taking the above figures as a criterion the public sales in Centre county this spring will probably total a quarter million dol- lars or over. instructor from the Me- | NEWS PURELY PERSONAL. -William Furey; of Pittsburgh, was a guest of his mother, rey, Saturday and Sunday. -RRobert Shreffler, of Niagara Falls, is a guest of his mother and sister, Mrs. Shreffler and Miss Katherine Shreffler, of Thomas street. ~—Mr. and Mrs. John S.

The eastern mail is routed via Harris- burg and the P. & E. to Lock Haven and was always brought to Bellefonte on the train reaching here at 9.15. Two weeks ago an order went into ef- fect prehibiting the hauling of mail on any train that is not an author- ized mail train, consequently the mail was not brought to Bellefonte but held in Lock Haven until Monday morning. The Sunday papers come to Bellefonte by way of Tyrone and if the eastern mail were routed that way on Sunday it would also reach here, as the train from Tyrone is an au- authorized mail train. Perhaps the change will be made some time in the near future. Architect.—Anna Bellefonte, Pa. W. Keichline, 62-4-6m TROOP L MUSTERED OUT. | -—— Soldier Boys Changed to National Guardsmen With Little Pomp and Ceremony. After being in the service of the United States for almost seven months the members of Troop L were mustered out of the federal service on Tuesday and are now plain Na- tional Guardsmen, but a far better looking, better drilled and better dis- ciplined body of soldiers than they ever were before. There was little pomp and cere- mony connected with their mustering out. Every man was examined phy- sically and a complete record of his condition made for the War Depart- ment. This work was done by Capt: Turnbull, medical examiner. The mustering out officer was Major E. L. Glasgow, and he was very thorough in the transaction of his part of the work. At that he complimented Capt. Curtin on the fine appearance and gentlemanly conduct of the members of his troop, saying it was one of the best organizations he had yet come across. Capt. Legg officiated as paymaster and it required just about $2,500 to pay the men and settle accounts up te Tuesday. When the men had all been examined physically, the property all checked up, pay roll signed and their money handed over to them the work was ended. There was no formal ceremony of mustering out. The men were simply told that they were no longer in the federal service but were now National Guardsmen of the State. Just as fast as the men were muster- ed out all those who live away from Bellefonte took the first train they could for their home. Those who re- side in Bellefonte went home and changed into civilian clothes as yuick- ly as possible. : The thirty-two horses of the troop will naturally have to be given prop- er care and attention and to do this work the following man have been se- lected: Sergt- Harry Schreffler, John Shank, Glen Weaver and Stewart Hampton. They will each receive good pay and subsistence, so that they will not suffer any hardship. The horses of Troop L have been moved from the fair grounds to the Haag hotel stables, where they will be kept until a permanent barn can be secured for them. ——The condition of Miss Susan Dolan, who is ill with penumonia at the home of Mr. and Mrs. John An- derson, of Quaker Hill, is critical: For Sale—Second Hand Automobiles. 1913 Ohio touring.
