Patsy Medio, alias Patsy Mita,
an Italian of Fayette county, was
electrocuted at the Rockview peniten-
tiary on Monday morning for killing .
a fellow-countryman in a drunken
brawl at Dawson less than a year
ago. Medio was taken to the chair at
7:06 o'clock and after eight contacts
was pronounced dead by Dr. W. I'cl-
ker at 7:14. The remains were un-
claimed and were buried in the peni-
tentiary cemetery.
Fifty dozen heads of lettuce
were furnished Bellefonte produce
dealers on Wednesday from the peni-

half of it. The above constituted the
surplus over what the penitentiary

shipped to Pittsburgh for use in the
penitentiary there. But
crop on the penitentiary farms is
nothing compared to what the onion
crop should be, as considerably over
one hundred bushels of onion sets
were put in the ground.
Whether the Bolsheviks or the
I. W. W. will exercise the greater
power when the present labor problem
is brought to a finale, has been aired
by local lights at the Brant house
within the past fortnight. If the con-
testants were really in sympathy with
the two followings, there would have
been a daily foot race after each dis-
cussion. The judges in the debate,
gave ss their unbiased opinion, that
no argument was presented that could
be tolerated, and that when the pres-
ent chaotic labor situation was clear-
ed away, every Bolsheviki and I. W.
W. would be doing duty with the ex-
Kaiser on St. Helena.
Foster V. Jodon, of Spring
township, was painfully injured one
day last week when he was thrown
from a wagon in which he was stand-
ing. Mr. Jodon had climbed on the
wagon with several other men to go
to work on the road. They were all
standing up when the team of horses
gave a sudden lurch forward, Mr.
Jodon lost his balance and fell out of
the rear end of the wagon, striking
the rear end of the coupling pole on
the left side of the small of his back.
‘While no bones were broken and there
are no indications of internal injur-
ies, his back has been so painful since
that he can hardly move.

i Commissioners and Mr. Harris have |
i interviewed contractors with regard
i to the cost of the work, but as con-
: tractors these days are too wily to
| pin themselves down to definite fig-
lures it is impossible to determine just
the nature of the covering to put on
! the bridge or the cost thereof.
There does seem to be, however, a
{ unanimity of opinion that steel I
‘ beams should be used to hold up the
surface of the bridge instead of
| wooden beams, which last at the best
"only a few years, and Horatio Moore
, gave exact figures at which he will
furnish such beams, namely, $574.
' Harry Bilger, of Pleazant Gap, fur- the Red Cross baseball league had a
nished figures on the cost of creosoted ' battle royal last Friday evening, the
blocks for the covering, which will | former finally winning by the score
amount to about $975, not counting
his commission of five per cent. and
bridge. In addition to the above Mr.
Harris stated that highway superin-
tendent Stackpole had suggested a
covering of oak 2x4’s set on edge and
spiked together as being very sub-
stantial and durable, but as yet he
had been unable to get an estimate of
the cost of such a covering.
Mr. Harris asked that some defi-
nite action be taken toward getting
the work of rebuilding started if
nothing more than to authorize the
placing of the order for the steel I
bea1s, as i4 will tak: some time to
make them. President Walker advo-
cated getting something more defi-
nite as to the total! cost of rebuilding
the bridge and was averse to giving
any definite authorization at that
ti na, In fact he referred the matter
to the Special committee when Mr.
Harris arose and stated that unless
some definite action vas taken at
once he would have nothing more to
do with the bridge building; that he
was pbstered day and night in regard
to it, and he wanted to do something
or quit. When president Walker at-
tempted to persuade him to wait un-
til the next mesating night to take
definite action Mr. Harris took his
hat, told council he was through and
that they could build their —— old
bridge to suit themselves then left
the council chamber, which naturally
left council without a quorum to
transact any further business, or as
stated above, adjourn legally. In this
dilemma president Walker instructed
referred the bridge matter to the
Special committee when there was a
quorum present that fact should be
allowed to go on the minutes and the
Special committee could gat busy on
the bridge; and inasgauch as that com-
council any action it takes can be af-
firmed at the next regular meeting of
council.
As council was then in a position
further business or even adjourn, the
members just “quitulated” and went
home.
When council convened Edmund
ment committee for the welcome
home celebration, appeared in regard
to permission to have the Sam Spen-
cer carnival here during that week,
and also asked that all the revenues
from concessions, ete., be given to the
welcome home association. After
some discussion on the question coun-
cil passed a vesolution granting Mr.
Blanchard’s committee the right to
bring the carnival to Bellefonte and
also the right to all moneys received
from concessions, the placing of the
he supervision of the chief burgess,
Street and Fire and Police commit-
tees. A
Burgess Waiker submitted a brief
report to council calling attention to
the fact that so far very few of the
bad pavements that he had called at-
tention to in previous reports have
been repaired and it is a matter that
should be promptly looked after. It
was just at this juncture in the pro-
ceedings that the bridge question was
brought up which ended as told
above.

——Living in the North ward at
the presant time is a lady: who is in
her eightieth year and she feel$ ton-
fident that she learned something on
Sunday that she never knew before,
and we might also add that it is some-
thing that probably few if any per-
sons know, and that is that birds ob-
serve Sunday. It seems that on Sat-
urday the lady in question was much
interested in watching two robins
gather material for a nest, the birds
working like beavers all day. On
Sunday morning she happened to
think of the robins and looked for
them, but they could not be seen. The
more she looked the more curious she
became to know what had happened
to them and she made it a point to
watch for them at various times dur-
ing the day, but all to no purpose for
the robins didn’t appear. In the even-
ing she told her story to other mem- |
bers of the family and expressed her
belief that the birds were observing |
the Sabbath day as the reason that
they were not at work. Of course it |
sounded rather skeptical but the other |

in which they could not transact any | enthers of the forilly agveed 10 Wal
until Monday morning and see if the
birds would be at work again, and
when that time came both the robins :
were on the job bright and early and |
were not only seen by every member
of the family but the nest, fast near- |
ing completion, was also located. All|
of which looks as if birds know and |
observe Sunday, but how the deuce’
they keep track of it is a question we !
submit to birdologists. |
That Special Policeman. |
Bellefonte automobilists may not
know it, but the day or reckoning is
coming and some people will have to
settle. That special policeman, im- |
ported solely as a traffic regulator, |
has been in Bellefonte and on the job
for some days and it is intimated that :
already has turned in quite a list of!
numbers of license tags on cars that
‘exceeded the speed limits in Belle-
fonte. |
Various machine owners, drivers,
ete., have tried hard to “spot” the’
traffic cop, but it is stated on relia-
ble authority that so far he has been
as elusive as the Irishman’s flea. On
the supposition that they had the
right man several Bellefonters last !
week royally entertained a stranger
at one of the clubs in Bellefonte and
while he wouldn’t admit that he was |
the cop he was careful not to denyit, !
either, and the result was he had an
extremely pleasant evening, it is said,
at the expense of the Bellefonters. It
later developed that the real cop does
not even know there is such a club in
Bellefonte.
That the man is pretty safely cam-
ouflaged and is attending strictly to
his business seems to be a fact, and
just how long he will remain in Belle-
fonte is uncertain. But there don’t
seem to be any uncertainty about his
doing his work well, and that is the
reason there is liable to be a general
awakening when the roll of offenders
is called.

nies, of Mt. Jewett. The officers of
the new refractories company are as
follows:
President, James F. Stott, Philips-
burg; vice president and chairman of
board of directors, Ellis L. Orvis;
secretary and treasurer, Ives L. Har-
vey; assistant secretary and treasur-
er, Jay E. LaBarre; general manager,
J. Ellis Harvey, all of Bellefonte; as-
sistant general manager, Ambrose M.

ager, J. E. Morgan, 458 Commercial
Trust building, Philadelphia; assist-
ant sales managers, W. H. Kelly and
J. W. Dowling, 1214 Bessemer build-
ing, Pittsburgh.
The first six of the above officers
have been identified with the fire brick
business for some time and are well
known in this community. Mr. J. E.
Morgan has been with the Harbison-
Walker Refractories company for
about sixteen years and has been their
castern sales manager for about
eight years. Mr. W. H. Kelly was
formerly in charge of fire brick with
the Bethlehem Steel company but for
i the last eight years has been in the
sales department of the Harbison-
Walker Refractories company. He is
an expert on refractories. Mr. J. W.
Dowling has been connected with the
Harbison-Walker Refractories compa-
ny in the sales department for many
years. ;
With this organization of exper-
ienced men, with the most up-to-date
plants in the country and a practic-
ally inexhaustible supply of raw ma-
terial this new company will no doubt
soon be one of the leading companies
in the fire brick industries. It is pro-
posed to enlarge the plants the com-
pany now owns and also build one or
two new plants very soon.

of |
last week Irvin Krider Brua and Miss
county,
journeyed to Pine Grove Mills where
they were united in marriage by the
resident of Half- |
Centre County Assured of Permanent
Highways.
While in Harrisburg last week a
well known Bellefonte business man
called at the State Highway Depart-
ment and had quite a talk with High-
| way Commissioner Sadler and chief
engineer Uhler regarding the present
and proposed highways in Centre
county. Commissioner Sadler told
the gentleman that while there are
probably stretches of highway in
Centre county that should have been
given attention before the road be-
tween Bellefonte and Pleasant Gap,
as that is always in a pretty fair con-
dition, the Department was compelled
to do its work this year on surveys
that had already been made and the
plans and specifications for which
were already on hand. Such was the
case with the road from Bellefonte to
Pleasant Gap, and if it hadn’t been
taken up in its regular order it would
probably be three years before it
would have been reached again.
Another piece of road that will be
built this summer in Centre county
and for which bids will soon be asked
is a section near Gum Stump on the
road to Snow Shoe. It is just possi-
ble the the road from Centre Hall to
Potters Mills will also be built this
year. In the meantime surveys and
plans will be made this year for the
road over Nittany mountain from
Pleasant Gap to Centre Hall, and
over the Seven mountains from Pot-
ters Mills to Milroy, with a view of
building them next year. A survey
vill also be made from Milesburg to
Unionville and this stretch will also
be built next year, with the future
plan of completing the road through to
Tyrone in 1921.
This is among the important work
now contemplated for Centre county
by the Highway Department, though
of course, it may not be confined to the
above. In any event Commissioner
Sadler gave assurance that within the
next four years all of the important
highways of Centre county which have
been taken over by the State will be
rebuilt into permanent roadways.

Salvation Army Drive Now On.
The Salvation Army drive to rdise
$13,000,000 is now almost over and
what has Centre county done towards
raising it’s $7,000 portion of it? Over
in Philipsburg they raised $700 of
their $3,000 allotment the first few
hours of the campaign and they have
given assurance of easily raising their
full amount. The allotment for the
Centre county district outside of Phil-
ipsburg is $4,000, and up to yester-
day morning the committee in charge
of the campaign were unable to give
any figures as to what has been done
in this district. They have been hard
at work, however, and have every
hope that the allotment will be fully
met.
And just here the “Watchman”
wants to add to the hope of the com-
mittee that everybody in Centre coun-
ty will ‘do their part. Nothing but
good has been heard of the work of
the Salvation Army in France. If a
soldier boy was sick or needed atten-
tion in any way the Salvation Army
gave it. to him promptly without any
inquiry as to his antecedents, financ-
es, rank or standing in the army. If
he was hungry for a smoke or some-
thing to eat, the Salvation Army sup-
plied him, whether he had any money
or not. Such is the organization that
you are now asked to support and
there should be no holding back.
Rich Man, Poor Man, Beggar Man,
Thief, Doctor, Lawyer, Indian
Chief.
All have their troubles. The rich
man has nothing on the poor man
when it comes to troubles. The doc-
tor and lawyer have their troubles.
They may differ somewhat, but trou-
ble is trouble, and why trouble it un-
til it troubles you. CASEBEER, the
registered optometrist, can overcome
all other trouble. Better consult him
about your eyes, at Brockerhoff House
block. Satisfaction guaranteed. 21-1t
