‘here was practically in its infancy.
Notwithstanding that Mr. Schoch has
‘passed the three-score and ten years
“allotted to man, his voice is yet
strong, and the gospel truths that fell
from his lips were given with a firm-
“ness that bespoke the power of his el-

© ——On Tuesday Willis E. Wion
‘was notified that there was a car of
automobiles at the freight station for
him, the car containing a Nash sedan,
‘ordered by S. Ward Gramley, of Mill-
heim, and a Nash touring car for the
‘Breon garage, of Millheim. The cars
had been ordered by Mr. Breon and
consigned to Mr. Wion for conven-
_ience and Mr. Breon was promptly
‘notified that the cars were here. Con-
sequently he delegated Mr. Gramley
to come to Bellefonte and lift them
and when that gentlemna got here,
paid the freight bill, etec., the car was
opened and what a sight the cars in-
side presented. They had been strip-
ped of tires, headlights, storage bat-
teries, generators, horns, speedome-
ters and clocks, and even two plate
glass windows in the rear of one of
the cars removed. An estimate plac-
ed the value of the accessories remov-
ed at about $800. The peculiar thing
in connection with the robbery is that
the railroad car was sealed with a
railroad seal which looks as if the
man who despoiled the car was in
some way connected with that organ-
ization. Naturally the consignees re-
fused to take the cars and at once got
into communication with the Nash
factory, but finally some arrangement
was made whereby the cars were un-
loaded and hauled on trucks to the
Wion garage.
It will be a game worth look- :

Another: enthusiastic meeting of
the executive committee was held on
‘ Monday evening, presided over by
Judge Quigley. In the line of prog-
nance committee, reported that he had
practically $3,000 pledged so far and

The Amusement committee was in-
structed to invite the Philipsburg
baseball team to come to Bellefonte
for the big time and play two or mere
championship games with a team to
be picked from the local Red Cross
league. This ought to offer some ex-
“citing sport as Bellefonters believe
they have enough good baseball tim-
ber here to lick anything Philipsburg
can trot out. i
Inasmuch gs there Tas been vari us
inquiries from out of town eR
to railroad accommodations for that
time, chairman Quigley appointed
W. T. Kelly chairman of a Transpeor-
tation commitice to see what arrange-
ments can be made and report at the
next meeting,
Chairman Quigley stated that he
had been approached by representa-
tives of the various churches of the
town and W. C. T. U. regarding the
likelihood of immoral shows and gam-
bling devices being brought here by
the camival company and he had giv-
en them assurance that no such shows
and no gambling will be tolerated.
There will be lots of clean amuse-
ment, however, so that everybody
will have plenty to lceep them ocen-
pied during every irinute of the time
they are here.
And in this connection it might be
stated that the Red Cross and other
local organizations will seeto it that
rest rooms are provided for women
and children and every arrangement
will be made for their comfort while
here.
The next meeting of the committee
will be held on Friday, June 6th, at 8

This evening they will have a

| Horse Killed On High Street Crossing.
Driving onto the railroad in front of
the incoming 10:07 train on Tuesday
morning, “Ira Confer, “of © Yarnell,
lost a good horse which was - hit
by the locomotive and killed; and had
it not been for one of the gang of
workmen engaged in putting. new
plank on the crossing the aceident
might have had more. tragic results.
Mr. Confer had been at the Potter-
Hoy warehouse and drove up Railroad
street, with a big truck following him
closely. A draft of freight cars stood
on the siding, but the distance from
the cars to High street was easily
sixty feet. The watchman on ‘the
to Mr. Confer to stop and even called
to him, but he avers that that gentle-
man was looking. back at the big
i truck, apparently. more apprehensive
of it running into him than he was of
the danger of the crossing. The re-
sult was he drove right onto the track
when one of the workmen grabbed the
‘offside horse and jerked him baek and
around to the right, hoping to get the
team out of danger, but the locomo-
‘tive caught the nearside horse on the
hip, knocked him down and dragged
him about fifty feet, killing him in-
stantly. Mr. Confer and the other
horse escaped injury and the wagon
was not damaged except for a broken
tongue.

‘Serious Auto” Acerdent at Pleasant
- Gap.
Wednesday evening . Chester Hei-
sey, who is employed by the Beatty
Motor company, in this place, arrived
at his home in Pleasant Gap in a re-
modeled Ford which he had just pur-
chased. George Hile, of - Pleasant
Gap, had his little brown Metz there
and a discussion as to the merits of
the cars followed.
Then Heisey stepped into the Metz
and started down the pike to try it.
It is a fast little car and Heisey was
getting nearly all there was in it.
Hile and a companion, Millard Shref-
fler, jumped into the Ford and start-
ed after Heisey. Of course the Ford
wasn’t in it in the race and Hile didn’t
understand Fords very well for when
he reached the road leading into the
Whiterock plant he hit a ditch, flew
into the air and the car actually roll-
ed over and over sidewise the entire
length of a lot, finally coming to rest
with the wheels in the air.
It was literally smashed to bits,
three of the wheels being little more
than splinters. Fortunately the top
was down, else its occupants would
have been killed. As it was Hile suf-
fered a broken wrist, a compound
fracture of the elbow and his face was
hacked and cut until it is feared he
will be disfigured for life. Shreffler
had two ribs broken, was scratched
and bruised, but suffered no serious
injury.
Heisey heard the crash and looking
back while running at high speed lost
control of the Metz and ran it into
the ditch, though it suffered little
damage.

THE ACADEMY MINSTRELS
i Scored a Big Success Three Nights
Last Week.
The Bellefonte Academy minstrels,
under the masterly leadership of Boyd
C. Parshall Jr., of Washington, Pa.,
ian Academy student, eclipsed all
| previous efforts and delighted large
j audiences on Thursday, Friday and
| Saturday evenings of last week in
i Garman’s opera house. The novel
| opening with the whistling chorus, in-
dividual flashlights and reveille call
won rounds of applause. The music
and jokes were unusually clever and
met a hearty response from the en-
thusiastic audiences.
Our local boys, Tom Hayes and
Jack Montgomery, made great hits
with their songs and dances, while the
premier ends, McCreedy and Cochran,
were very much of a professional cal-
ibre. Manning, Stoltz, Richelson and
Biehe were also excellent. The swing
song when Schoff sang “I’ve Found
the End of the Rainbow” to Billy
Griffin, made up as a beautiful girl,
was a pretty feature of the program.
The ballad singers all made a wonder-
ful impression upon their hearers by
the way they conceived and rendered
their songs. Reilly and Dobbins prov-
ed themselves geniuses with the banjo
mandolins.
Perhaps the greatest and most pleas-
ing surprise of all the surprises was
the singing and dancing of Misses
Beulah Harkness and Ruth Hughes,
two very charming young ladies from
Mansfield Normal school, who accept-
ed Mr. Hughes’ invitation to help
make the minstrels a success. The
friends of the Bellefonte hospital, as
a benefit of which the minstrels were
given, owe these young ladies a vote
of thanks for their generous co-oper-
ation. May they come and sing and
| dance again.
| Special mention should be made of
Mr. Charles Arnold, a student from
Bellefontaine, Ohio, whose ease and
dignity in the role of interlocutor
would have done credit to the best
minstrel troupe on the road. The
playing of the Academy orchestra
was a real treat.
As a result of the minstrels the hos-
pital will receive a very substantial
benefit, as the gross receipts for the
three nights entertainment were just
$642.80.
Among the many guests from a dis-
tance who came to attend the min-
strels, dance and ball game with the
Susquehanna University, which re-
sulted in a victory for the Academy
by a score of 6 to 2, were Mr. and Mrs.
R. H. Corman and Miss Emma Miller,
of Uniontown; Mrs. Gertrude Lexah-
man, Washington, D. C.; Mrs. Julia
Moore, Boston, Mass.; Mr. and Mrs.

Mickey, the Sensational Hit of the
Season.
Perhaps the most sensational mo-
tion picture production made in the
past three or four years is that of
“Mickey,” wiaich comes to the Pas-
time theatre, State College, on Tues-
day, June 3rd, showing both matinee
and night performances. Mickey is
described as the most realistic inter-
pretation ever brought to the screen,
the leading role being played by Miss
Mabel Normand, a great favorite with
those who are familiar with the great
stars. of the present day. Mickey is,
as it is said, full of love, pathos, com-
edy, thrills, n’ everything. In Mick-
ey there.is a horse race which is the
best ever produced. The production
is photographically perfect and shows
the big race from start to finish,
which calls for uncontrolled applause
and cheering from those who sit in
front of the screen watching this won-
derful mute performance. Mickey
will dig a deep hole in the hearts of
all who see her and you will want to
see it again and again. You have
sung Mickey, danced Mickey, now see
Mickey, truly the “picture that you
will never forget,” at the Pastime.

The people of State College and
vicinity certainly have the advantage
of good picture shows and today and
tomorrow will be favored in seeing
that wonderfully emotional actress
Nazimova in “The Red Lantern,” one
of the greatest motion pictures ever
produced, which will be shown at the
Pastime theatre. Wonderful in its
conception, this story of the yellow
and white races is full of heartthrobs,
and is portrayed with a lavish mag-
nificence and an Oriental splendor that
fascinates and astounds the audience.
People of Bellefonte should take ad-
vantage of this opportunity to motor
to the College and see this picture,
which will be shown there before be-
ing put on exhibition in either Phila-
delphia or Pittsburgh.
