Thompson, of Alto, who is a surgical natient in the Altoora hospital, is rapidly recovering from an operation performed a week ago. At a meeting of the board of directors of the Moshannon National bank, of Philipsburg, held on Monday morning, D. Ross Wynn was elected president to succeed the late J. N. Schoonover, deceased. Mr. Wynn has been vice president of the bank the past eight years and has also been prominently connected with the Gen- eral Refractories company, with head- quarters in Philipsburg. The immense amount of ton- nage handled cn the Bald Eagle Val- ley railroad resulted in another wreck vesterday morning just above Snow Shoe Intersection. A {freight train following another ran into the rear end, throwing the caboose on top of a coal car. Fortunately no one was in- jured and the tracks were not biockad- ed, although the train from Tyrone east was held up about an hour. A marriage license was issued by Register Frank Sausserman on Wednesday to William W. Waddle and Miss Mary Sherlock, both of Belle- fonte, and although the wedding has not yet taken place, so far as the “Watchman” editor could learn, it no doubt will within the next few days, prior to Mr. Waddle taking charge of the Brant house, which he will likely do within the next week or ten days. Mr. Frank F. Davis, who has been office manager of the Titan Met- al Co., since April 1st, 1916, has re- signed his- position and left yesterday afternoon for Clearfield where he has accepted the position of manager of the Nickel-Alloys Co., the new indus- try which Dr. Hennig and others have established in that place. Mr. Davis will not move his family to Clearfield until he finds a desirable house. They are now visiting at their former home in Philadelphia. Lieutenant Herbert Gray Fos- ter, one of the recently ccmmissioned officers of Fort Niagara, is now sta- tioned at Camp Admiral, Md. At the * camp are 1000 officers and after the 19th of September 40,00) men will be in training there, Lieut. Foster ex- pecting to accompany them when they sail in a short time fo France. Mr. Foster is well known in Centre coun- ty, having frequently visited here with friends and with his grandfather, George S. Gray, of Halfmoon valley. Centre county was covered with a mantle of white on Tuesday morn- ing in the shape of an unusually heavy frost. In fact it was in reality a freeze as the thermome.ar was down to 32 degrees above zero and ice form- ed in some parts of the county. Late vegetables, corn, ete., were frozen throughout the county, causing con- siderable loss. Another frost occur- red on Wednesday mornirg but it was not so severe and since then the weather has been more scasonable. Long evenings and cool nights will soon be here and everybody who has been spending the oleasant even- ings out of doors will seek a more comfortable place. And the one place in Bellefonte where you can find both comfort and entertainment is at the Scenic. There you can sit at ease and watch the latest and best in motion pictures depicted upon the screen, il- lustrated weeklies of all the import- ant happenings of the day, with big serials of absorbing interest. A visit to the Scenic will convince you that it is one of the best motion picture shows in Central Pennsylvania. Last Thursday evening Isaac Underwood drove into town from his office and started up High street in his Ford car just as Dr. Seibert came down the street. As the latter made the turn to go out south Water street Mr. Underwood collided with the lat- ter's car. Neither one was driving fast so that neither the doctor nor Mr. Underwood was hurt, but both cars were somewhat damaged, the Ford getting the worst of the encounter. By- standers pulled the cas apart and both men were able to prcceed on their way but Mr. Underwood’s car was somewhat wobbly as the result of a bent axle. Prof. Jonas E. Wagner's type- writer, which was stolen on the night of August 31st from the director's room in the High school building, was found late Thursday afternoon in the vestibule of St. John’s Episcopal church, which is just acrcss the street from the school building. Just how or when the typewriter was placed in the church vestibule is a qu3stion as yet unanswered. Certain it is that it was not put there the night il was stolen, because both morning :nd evening service was held in the church on Sunday, September 2nd, and the type- writer was not there then. The only explanation thus far possible is that the thief became conscience stricken after he had had the machine five days and decided. to return it, but when he undertook to do so either found the school building secure against mid- night raiders, or else was afraid of be- ing detected and deposited the type- writer in the church vestibule, a fact easy of accomplishment as the church doors are never locked. When found the machine was completely wrapped in paper and no part of it was injur- ed in any way. TROOP L OFF FOR THE SOUTH. Bellefonte’s Cavalry Unit and the Regimental Hospital Corps Left for Southern Training Camp on Tuesday. Fully Five Thousand People Watched Their Departure. Soldiers Were Grim-Faced but Cheerful. A train made up of a flat car, two horse cars, a forage car, a property car, three coaches, a Puliman and a kitchen car rolled slowly up to the Bellefonte depot at 8:35 ¢’clock Tues- day morning. Almost on the in- stant one hundred and forty khaki- clad men, sturdy of feature, steady of eye, with grim looks of courage und determination upon their faces, marched down High street and with- out halt filed two abreast along the waiting train. “Entrain!” rang the command, shrill and sharp on the frost-laden air and in two minutes the khaki-clad unit was aboard the cars. There was only time for the passing of some packages to a few of the sol- diers, a brief but fervent handclasp here and there and with the conduec- tor’s “All Aboard!” the train began to move and slowly steamed away, bear- ing with it Bellefonte’s National Guard contingent in the shape of ‘troop L and the hospital corps of the First Pennsylvania cavalry. The above in brief maiked the de- parture of the young man who have been mobilized in this place since July 15th awaiting the summons to their southern training camp at Fort Han- cock, Augusta, Ga., but it is only a pitifully meagre part of the story. The five thousand people who hurriedly gathered at the depot from Bellefonte and the surrounding countryside, braving the cold weath:r and stand- ing dim-eyed and sorrowful, were mute testimony to those who departed of the aching hearts let behind. As they marched down the street the sol- diers were loudly applauded, but when the train pulled slowly «way from the station there was no resounding cheer. Every man, woman and child in the vast multitude was too intent on fix- ing in his or her mind the last glimpse of some loved one, and their hearts were too full to cheer. And that last glimpse will linger forever in the minds of all because it showed the true American, most of the boys smiling and waving their hands in farewell, be it for only a few months, a year, two years or forever. As the train was pulling out a little band of the soldiers started to sing but their hearts were to» full and the song died out in the second line while their voices trailed off into a final “good bye to everybody.” One soldier was heard to say “Good bye, Old Bellefonte.” Another ‘ouching scene was witnessed at the mess car when the father of ‘one of the young soldiers stepped from the crowd and grasped his son’s hand in a final good bye, and while doing so dropped a handful of change into his hand, This so affect- ed the soldier boy that 12 had to turn away to hide his tears. There were no frills 2 nnected with their departure. In fact the officers and men did not want zny. All the cars except the coaches were brought in on Monday and were loaded in an orderly and systematic manner. On Monday evening a squad of men were detailed to see to the loading of the horses on Tuesday morning and the others were ordered to report at the armory at six o’clock. The final mus- ter roll was called at 7:30 and from that until leaving for the depot the men had a brief time to themselves. It was just 8:32 o’clock when the or- der was given and the march was made south on Spring street to High and down High to the depot. In ten minutes the train had gone and all that was left behind were memories. And sad as these were there is yet the comfort of knowing that every man who went out on that train had proved himself a gentleman during the eight weeks the Troop was mobil- ized here. This fact has been so wide- ly commented upon by tie citizens of Bellefonte that it is not necessary to emphasize it here. And for that rea- son we feel confident that wherever Troop L is ordered they will go and whatever command is given it will be carried out; that the colors they bore away with them will never be trailed in the dust nor lowered in dishonor and the universal hope is that every man may return full of a sense of just pride for having answered his coun- try’s call when it was g:ven and serv- ing it to the best of his ability. The “Watchman” has already told of the sweaters supplied to every member of the Troop and hospital corps through a movement that start- ed with the D. A. R., but the soldiers were still further remenibered. This same organization gave the soldiers utility bags to hang up in their tents, with pockets for washr.z, soap, comb and brush, shoes, ete. Hach bag was made to accommodate two soldiers. The Bellefonte W. C. T. U. gave each soldier a Comfy Kit, containing needles and thread, buttons, safety pins and a copy of the testament, and the Woman’s Guild two towels for each soldier. The Woman’s club was instrumental in soliciting and collecting 375 lunch boxes filled with home-made lunches, a box of lemons, 25 pounds of sugar and a quantity of peaches. In this the Bellefonte women were very ably as- sisted by the women of Colevilie and other places. Mr. and Mrs. J. L. Montgomery fur- nished a supply of matches and bana- nas and Miss Rebecca N. Rhoads gave one hundred and fifty cakes of sweet chocolate. : Many personal and individual gifts were bestowed on the soldiers by thoughtful friends, so nothing that will help to make their camp life less lonely and more cheerful and com- fortable was overlooked. When the Troop was mobilized on July 15th the “Watchman” published a complete roster of both it and the hospital corps. There has been no change in the hospital corps but there have been many changes in the Troop. For that reason, and as a matter of historical record the “Watchman” again publishes the roster, with the home address of each soldier, just as the Troop was made up when it de- parted on Tuesday. It is as follows: COMMISSIONED AND NON-COMMIS- SIONED OFFICERS. Captian, H. Laird Curtin, Curtin. First Lieut., E. R. Taylor, Bellefonte. Second Lieut., Claude W. Smith, Milesburg Top.

ER A En ES SMS FC WD MANY CONSCRIPTS CALLED. Must Be in Bellefonte Ready to Leave on September 19th. On Wednesday evening Sheriff George H. Yarnell received a telegram from Adjutant General M. G. Mur- dock to summon forty-five per cent. of Centre county’s quota for the new na- tional army to be in Bellefonte ready te entrain for mobilization at Camp Meade, Md., on September 19th, and yesterday red cards were sent to sev- enty-five young men in Centre county who have been certified back to the lo- cal exemption board by the district board as having been accepted for service to appear in Bellefonte and be ready to go on that date. From the seventy-five summoned Centre coun- ty’s quota of forty-five per cent., or just fifty-three, will be selected. Inasmuch as full shipping instruc- tions have not yet been received it is not known whether the fifty-three men will all be sent next Wednesday, or whether they will be sent out in twenty per cent. consignments. But all must appear at the time specified on the red card which they will re- ceive. The citizens of Bellefonte are plan- ning to give the conscripts a big re- ception but until it is definitely known just how they will be sent it is impos- sible to give the exact time of the demonstration, although it will likely be the night before they leave. How- ever, big posters announcing the fact will be posted all over the county in ample time to give all who care to do so an opportunity to come to Belle- fonte, therefore, watch for the post- ers. The full list of the men summon- ed, with their postoffice address is as follows: Otto Edgar Spicer, State College. Jerome M. Allman, State College. Otto F. Corman, Bellefonte. J.

Mrs. Martin, of Philadelphia, one of Pennsylvania’s best known authorities oa civie mat- ters, will be one of the speakers at the Bellefonte conference ard the very fact that she will be present should be the incentive for a large attendance.
