' NECK BROKEN IN FALL
D. W. Corman Falls to Death When
| Board Breaks in Loft Over Barn
Floor.
D. W. Corman, who lived on the
Frank Fisher farm near Penn Hall,
met a sudden death on Tuesday morn-
ing when a board broke in the loft
| over the barn floor precipitating him
ito the floor below breaking his neck
and crushing his skull.
eleven o'clock to feed the stock and
do the noontime chores. Not return-
ing at his usual time his wife went
‘ out to look for him and found him ly-
"ing on the barn floor as she believed
unconscious. Help was at once sum-
moned and a physician sent for, but
| the latter found Mr. Corman dead.
| An examination showed his neck
. broken and his skull crushed and the
physician gave it as his opinion that
| his neck was broken by his head strik-
re-,
ing a cross beam in the loft and his |
i skull was crushed in the fall.
| Daniel Wilson Corman was a son
lof Mr. and Mrs. James Corman, of
| Miles township, where he was born
about fifty years ago. He has been
engaged in farming practically all his
life and was a good and useful -citi-
zen in every way. He was united in
marriage to Miss Sarah McClintick
who survives with the following
children: Mrs. Oscar Long, of Spring
Mills; Mrs. J. Gross Shook, of Penn
Hall; John, at Franklin and Marshall
College, Lancaster; E. Roy, at the
Lancaster Seminary, and Guy at
home. He also leaves his aged par-
ents living at Rebersburg and the
following brothers and sisters: Geo.
Corman, of Rebersburg; Mrs. Warren
Stover, of Spring Mills; Mrs. Rose
Diehl, of Clyde, Ohio, and Mrs. A. E.
Strayer, of Jersey Shore.
Brief funeral services will be held
at his late home at 9.30 o’clock to-
morrow morning by his pastor, Rev.
R. Raymond Jones, and final services
will be held at 10.30 in the Salem Re-
formed church, of which he was a
member. Burial will be made in the
cemetery adjoining the church.
Typhoid Epidemic Under Control.
The typhoid fever epidemic in the
vicinity of Osceola Mills is believed to
be under control by the State Board
of Health and local physicians and
nurses. As soon as the people of
Osceola Mills and Philipsburg awoke
to the gravity of the situation they
went to work manfully and started a
fight on the disease which is bound
to win in the end.
Not only was every possible thing
done to give those who are afflicted
proper attention but both Osceola and
Philipsburg raised a fund of one
thousand dollars each to defray the
expense of caring for the sick and
also looking after any families who
may have been left dependent by
reason of the father’s illness.
So far there has been but one death,
that of a Polander, whose wife and
little daughter are also in the hospital
ill with the disease. All told there are
about ninety cases of the fever, but
the number of new cases is growing
less each day. Of course, it is hardly
to be expected that no more new cases
will develop, but the aim of the phy-
sicians now in charge is to keep the
number as small as possible and to get
rid of the source of the infection.
The Ground Hog Saw His Shadow.
There is no denying the fact that
the groundhog saw his shadow last
Friday; in fact he could not help but
see it well defined upon the ice and
snow if he had the temerity to for-
sake his winter bed and come forth to
see what the weather was like. But
whether he visited the outer world or
not makes very little difference, as
Old Boreas kept right on the job. The
cold of Friday continued through Sat-
urday and on Sunday it warmed up
enough to give us the deepest fall of
snow of the winter, about nine inches
of it.
Then it began to blow and the snow
drifted and the weather grew colder
and by Monday morning it was the
most wintry weather we have had
this season. The passenger train
on the Lewisburg and Tyrone rail-
road was two hours late and all other
trains were from fifteen to thirty
minutes late. Public roads were also
drifted deep in many places, interfer-
ing more or less with traffic.
No school was held in the new High
school building on Monday owing to
the wind from the west being so high
it was impossible to heat the building
properly.
Grant Cars to Advance in Price.

a book of sixty pages, printed and
bound in heavy paper by the inmates
of the institution and reflects credit
upon the man in charge of the print-
ing department. The report shows
that during the year 1915 Centre
county had nine inmates in the re-
formatory for a total of 2274 days at
a cost of $818.64, and during the year
1916 the county had nine inmates for
a total of 1004 days at a cost of
$401.60.

guests. Among those who made ad-
dresses were Col. H. S. Taylor, Ex-
Judge Ellis L. Orvis, Rev. James R.
Hughes, Rev. W. K. McKinney and
Rev. I. Hodgson, of Snow Shoe. Let-
ters were awarded a dozen or more of
the Academy athletes. The occasion
proved a very pleasant one for all

“Freckles,” the dramatized
version of one of the best books, by
Gene Stratton-Porter, will be seen
here for the first time at Garman’s,
Thursday evening, February 15th.
“Freckles” as a play has gained force
in transportation from the leaves of
a book to a setting behind the foot-
lights. Any person who has read the
book will surely want to see the play,
which is great in its simplicity and
deals with situations right in the
heart of nature. The play will be
presented by a strong cast of play-
ers and singers. Prices, 25, 35, 50
and 75 cents. ;
Having reached that age where
the Pennsylvania railroad company

number of fifty or more gave him 2
real surprise party at his home on
Thomas street last Saturday evening.
His bible class presented him with a
large and comfortable chair in which
he can take it easy while passing the
time away, while he also received
quite a list of other remembrances
from his many friends. Choice re-
freshments were a feature of the
evening’s gathering and Mr. Barlett
was very much affected by the
thoughtfulness of his many friends.

Interesting Demonstrations
{ Daily at the Potter-Hoy Hard-
| ware Store.
|
The Potter-Hoy hardware store has
been the mecca for Bellefonte house-
. keepers this week. Prof. Becker, who
! bears the title of the world’s famous
chef, is there demonstrating the great
, Majestic range and at the same time
' giving lessons in baking and cooking,
‘and every afternoon from one hun-
(dred and fifty to two hundred women
‘are there to see his work. The pro-
i fessor is seventy-six years old and
i claims to have had sixty-three years
| experience in the culinary art. He
| began his demonstrations here on
| Tuesday when he baked jelly rolls,
cookies and drop cakes, which were
! served to about fifty people. That
i afternoon was designated as chil-
i dren s day and about two hundred of
i the younger generation were enter-
tained and each one given a little
| souvenir. The Majestic prize was '
{awarded to Miss Helen Elizabeth
Smith.
On Wednesday the professor
ey cake without either eggs or honey,
| served to the ladies. Four pound
i cakes were given as prizes.
| Yesterday was bread day. Starting:
at two o’clock the professor made and
baked bread in three hours, getting
through at five o’clock. He also made
Parker house rolls, English cross
buns, cinnamon rolls, pocketbook rolls
| and a German coffee cake.
Today (Friday) will be pastry day.
The professor will serve cream puffs,
chocolate eclars and victoria rolls,
while four lemon pies will be given as
prizes:
Tomorrow (Saturday) the profes-
sor will prepare a dinner for fifteen
people in just one hour. The dinner
will include an eight pound roast of
beef, Irish potatoes, sweet potatoes,
parsnips, honey comb dressing, and
three dozen of baking powder bis-
cuits. The start will be made at two
to serve at three. The Potter-Hoy
company has arranged seats for one
hundred and fifty people but in order
to get a good one you should go
early.
The Majestic Range company has a
standing offer of $1000 to any man
who, with the same amount of work
and the same amount of fuel, and in
the same time equals the professor’s
record.
Bellefonte’s Spring Closed to Public.
Bellefonte’s big spring, that beauti-
ful fountain of pure, sparkling water
which supplies the town and which
has been open and free to the public
from the foundation of the world
down to Wednesday morning, has
been closed tight by a peremptory
order received on Tuesday from the
State Commissioner of Health, Dr.
Samuel G. Dixon. A big padlock and
| chain now hold the gate secure
against all comers and a fence is to be
thrown across the northwest corner to
prevent entrance that way.
Bellefonte has never been the seat
of an epidemic that could be ascribed
to its drinking water. In fact the
town has always been renowned for
the purity of the water that flows
from the big spring. And it is doubt-
less to keep it pure that Dr. Dixon
has given his order under the great,
big, golden seal of the Commonwealth
of Pennsylvania. And the only con-
solation residents of Bellefonte have
is the fact that the order has been
general all over the State, on account
of the imminent danger of war. Itis
in effect that all sources of Water sup-
ply must be put under lock and key to
insure perfect sanitation. And we just
wonder if every farmer who has a
spring from which he gets his water
will be compelled to fence it in and
put a padlock on the gate.
Wreck on the Bald Eagle.
Two trains going in opposite direc-
tions came together in a head-on col-
lision near Port Matilda, last Thurs-
day evening, wrecking both engines,
five cars and blocking the track for
six hours. A freight train of forty-
nine loaded ‘cars east bound and a
train of three loaded cars and forty-
seven empties west bound, were the
two that figured in the collision. Both
firemen jumped but the engineers
stuck to their throttle, and strange
to say the only man injured was one
of the firemen who suffered a contused
and bruised leg when he fell on the
stones and cinder along the track. It
took six hours to clear away the wreck
and get the road open for traffic. Just
who is to blame for the collision has
not yet been determined.
For National Preparedness.
The Pennsylvania Women’s Division
for National Preparedness will hold
a mass meeting in the court house on
Wednesday, February 14th, at
4 o'clock. Everyone interested in
Preparedness is urged to attend, as
we wish to have our organization in
perfect working order at this critical
time of our country’s history.

and Rio Janeiro, Brazil and is thoroughly
under the Stars and Stripes. On his last
trip north, while sailing off the Brazilian
cost one bright moonlight night his look-
out reported a vessel some two miles dis-
tant. The vessel carried no lights and was
sailing headon for Capt. Runkle’s ship.
When the strange craft got near enough it
was discovered that she was bristling with
guns and suddenly a searchlight was
thrown on Runkle’s ship. This evidently
satisfied the war vessel as it immediately
veered to the east and soon disappeared.
When Capt. Runkle arrived in the Phila-
delphia port he learned for the first time
of the German raider, and he has been
wondering ever since if that might have
been it.
