captaincy but the powers that be were
somewhat slow on acting thereon.

injured leg and has since been taking

J. D. SEIBERT ELECTED BOR- |
OUGH MANAGER.
Other Important Business Brought
Before Borough Council on
Monday Evening.
In carrying out the provisions of
the ordinance passed at the last meet-
ing of Bellefonte borough council
providing for the election of a bor-
ough manager at a salary of $1,800
per annum to take charge of all bor-
ough affairs, James D. Seibert, who
resigned as councilman from the
South ward, was elected at the regu-
lar meeting on Monday evening to
serve in that capacity until the first
Monday in January, 1920, or until his
successor has been elected and quali-
fied for office. Mr. Seibert was the
only applicant and received the votes
of the five members present, namely:
President Walker, Cunningham, Fau-
ble, Flack and Richard, which consti-
tuted a majority of council. Just as
soon as his bond in the sum of $500
is filed and approved Mr. Seibert will
assume the duties of his office.
When council convened Col. W.
Fred Reynolds appeared and verbal-
ly offered council the right to cancel
its contract on the Phoenix pumping
station, giving as his reason for so
doing the fact that he had an offer for
the purchase of the mill from C. Y.
Wagner, who desired to purchase the
same, equip and operate it as a flour-
ing mill. Col. Reynolds stated, how-
ever, that he recognized the borough’s
rights and position in the matter and
would naturally yield to whatever ac-
tion might be taken in the matter.
The borough’s lease has four more
years to run and there is also a stip-
ulation that council shall have the
right to release for another period of
ten years, if so desired, or may pur-
chase the plant outright. When
asked if the price he was offered was
a secret Col. Reynolds stated that it
was not, as the same had been fixed
on a basis of the revenue he was now
receiving from the mill, and was
$25,000. Inasmuch as the Colonel’s
statement came to council without an
inkling of it beforehand it was decid-
ed that the matter was of such a na-
ture as to demand serious considera-
tion, and it was referred to the Spe-
cial committee for investigation and
report at the next meeting.
Miss Wagner, a daughter of Mrs.
Sarah Wagner, of north Spring street,
requested council to take some action
relative to having either a boardwalk
or pavement put down along the east
side of that thoroughfare from Cur-
tin street to her mother’s property.
The matter was referred to the Street
committee with the request that they
give it immediate attention.
A communication was received from
the State-Centre Electric company
relative to the continuation of the
special arrangement now in force in
connection with the water pumping
contract, and the matter was referred
to the Special committee.
A communication was also received
from Mrs. Murilla Dawson protesting
most emphatically against the erec-
tion of pillars of any kind at the in-
tersection of Spring and Bishop
streets, as they would obstruct the
view from her property.
A communication was received
from Jesse Derstine tendering his res-
ignation as borough auditor, for the
reason that he will make Juniata his
future home.
A communication was received from
J. Kennedy Johnston, tax collector,
requesting council to withhold any
and all moneys due R. B. Taylor, con-
tractor, until his claims for borough
taxes against that individual are sat-
isfied. The matter was referred to
the borough solicitor.
Mrs. Mary Delige, (colored), of
Logan street, presented a request for
the exoneration of water taxes and
the matter was referred to the Water
committee.
A statement was received from bur-
gess W. Harrison Walker in which
that official requested the payment of
$2.50 to George Glenn as a special po-
liceman and that an order be drawn
in favor of himself for $30.00 as a
final payment of the traffic officer who
spent some time in Bellefonte. Bur-
gess Walker stated that a number of
returns of speed violators had been
made and all turned over to justice of
the peace S. Kline Woodring, and that
up to date some of the fines had been
paid; and that in due time all such
moneys will be turned over to coun-
cil to be used in repairing the high-
ways, as provided by law. The bur:
gess further reported that all expens-
es for the special policemen during
the welcome home celebration had
been paid by the treasurer of the as-
sociation on approval of the execu-
tive committee, so that council would
not be asked to bear any portion of
that expense.
The request of Mr. Poorman for
permission to place a gasoline tank
under the pavement in front of his
auto supply house on Bishop street
was granted, the work to be done un-
der the direction of the Street com-
mittee.
The Street committee reported that
a sabstantial guard rail had been
placed along the state highway at
Rhoads’ corner and one alorg Mill
street up as far as Mallory’s black-
smith shop.
The Fire and Police committee re-
ported the burgess’ check in the sum
of $23.50 for fines and licenses col-
lected.
The Finance committee presented
the treasurer’s report which showed
a balance due that official on July first
of $1,060. He also asked for the re-
newal of notes for $600, $500, $500,
$5,000, $3,000, $2,000, and that a new
note for $1,000 be authorized to re-
new in part a note for $1,400 due Ju-
ly 2nd, and another new note of $5,000
be given to meet current bills, all of
which were authorized, as well as or-
ders for $270 to pay accrued interest
on same.
The Special committee reported
that Mr. H. S. Moore has completed
the iron work on the Willowbank
street bridge and is now putting down
the flooring, so that the bridge should
be completed and opened for traffic so
far as the roadway is concerned with-
in two weeks.
President Walker appointed Mr.
Cunningham chairman of the Water
committee to succeed Mr. Seibert, re-
signed, and relieved him of the duties
of chairman of the Market commit-
tee. :
Mr. Fauble presented an ordinance
providing for the preservation of the
Diamond for traffic purposes only and
prohibiting the erection thereon of
any stand, tent or booth, of fakir,
carnival! or for any other purpose;
and further providing that on and
after the passage and approval of
said ordinance the erection of booths
or tents on any of the streets or al-
leys of the town for fakirs, carnivals
or such like, shall be prohibited. The
ordinance was read for the first time
and then referred to the Street com-
mittee.
Bills totalling $3,027 were approv-
ed and council adjourned.
——For one week only we offer an
eight quart, highest grade, aluminum
preserving kettle for $1.89. Regular
price, $2.50.—The Potter-Hoy Hard-
ware Co. 27-1t
——Regularly once a year we hear
from Charles W. Tripple and this
week we got a letter and enclosure
from him from Rochester, N. Y.,
where he is evidently located for the
present.
——The young ladies class of the
Methodist Sunday school of Fillmore
will hold a festival on the church lawn
Saturday evening, July 12th. Cake,
ice cream, candy, ete., will be on sale;
the proceeds ‘to be for the benefit of
the church. Everyone is cordially in-
vited. .
——The Ladies Aid society of the
Pleasant Gap Methodist church will
hold one of their famous festivals in
Noll’s grove tomorrow (Saturday)
evening. Everything good to eat will
be served in abundance. The public
is invited to attend and have a good
time generally.
——Arthur Hassenplug, of Spring
Milis, was helping Calvin Keen with
his haymaking on Monday and was
riding on top of the load from the
field to the barn when the wagon up-
set. Hassenplug was thrown off and
sustained a broken leg which will lay
him up for six weeks or more.
——At a recent meeting of the
newly-organized Post of the Ameri-
can Legion in Bellefonte J. Mac Hein-
le was appointed chairman of a com-
mittee to assist discharged soldiers in
securing employment. Therefore any
of the boys who have come back and
are ready and willing to go to work
but cannot find anything to do should
consult Mr. Heinle and he will en-
deavor to place them.
On Tuesday morning Danny
Hines went out into the country to
pick some cherries. Before starting
to pick he attempted to cut down a
lot of weeds and while doing so was
bitten by a snake. Danny avers it
was a copperhead, but it is hardly
likely it was of that variety as he was
able to walk back to Bellefonte and
go to a physician and have the wound
cauterized. Aside from being pretty
badly scared he appeared to suffer no
ill effects from the bite.
Two teachers elected for the
Bellefonte schools have handed in
their resignations, Miss Mary Schad,
who, it is whispered will quit the pro-
fession for good because of a happier
anticipation she has in view, and Miss
Grace Stevens, who was married in
Chicago on July first to Dr. S. A.
Dodson, an osteopath of Little Rock,
Kan., where they will reside. Mus.
Dodson, it is stated, contemplates tak-
ing a four year’s course in osteopa-
thy and then assist her husband in
his already lucrative practice.
——William H. Derstine on July
first closed his tailor shop in the Cri-
der building and will henceforth live
a retired life. Mr. Derstine, who was
seventy-six years old on July 4th,
learned the tailoring business when a
young man and made it his lifes
work, following it continuously up
until last week. But he did not allow
his work to monopolize all his time
and being a man of musical ability
he was a member of the old Belle-
fonte band. He also served as a jus-
tice of the peace in the South and
West wards some years ago and later
as a member of the borough council.
——Rev. Alexander Scott, pastor of
the Bellefonte Methodist church, who
has been attending the centenary cel-
ebration at Columbus, Ohio, will be
home for the Sunday services in his
church and from what we have heard
of the big church gathering at Colum-
bus it is entirely safe to conclude that
Rev. Scott will have an interesting
message to give his congregation on
Sunday. During his attendance at
the celebration he has heard such men
as Secretary of the Navy Daniels, ex-
Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo,
Bishop Camphor, of Liberia; William
Jennings Bryan, George A. Stewart,
Bishop Cannon, of the Methodist
church South, and other world-wide
celebrities. The victory parade was
so long it took an hour to pass a giv-
en point. Six hundred people took
part in “The Wayfarer.” Sacred cows
of India, were on exhibition, also the
hut of “Mountain White.” The Rain-
bow and other bands furnished music
for the big gathering which Rev.
Scott characterizes as “the biggest
thing ever done by any church denom-
ination.”
Radio Station in Bellefonte Now
Assured.
When Bellefonte was selected as
“one of the important stations on the
Wilson aerial mail route between New |
York and Chicago it was also stated
| that a radio station would probably
be established in connection with the
aviation field for the guidance of air-
| planes in foggy or cloudy weather.
Little consideration was given the
“matter, however, until last week when
M. Vintschger, general manager of
!the Pole and Tube company, of New-
ark, N. J., came to Bellefonte and
| Tooked over the aviation field and
| surroundings,
| ny had been asked to bid on the erec- |
| tion of the two poles necessary for a
| radio station.
| to be anchored to concrete bases by
large cables he also consulted George
Rhoads regarding the cost of putting
down the bases and Gehret & Lam-
bert regarding the buildings for the
station.
On Monday announcement was
made from New York that contracts
had already been let for building the
Bellefonte plant. The contract for
the poles to the Pole and Tube com-
pany, of Newark, because on Wednes-
day morning Mr. Rhoads received a
telegram from that company instruct-
ing him to go ahead with the concrete
bases. This, unfortunately, he is un-
able to do, because the exact location
ed and no definite plans given him,
but it is altogether likely that some
one in authority will be here in a few
days to establish the location for the
plant and give plans in detail.
As announced from New York
one in Bellefonte, one at Cleveland,
Ohio, and one either on Long Island
or at some point in New Jersey. At
present, however, there is only an ap-
propriation of sufficient money to
build one station and that will be the
one in Bellefonte, and present plans
are to have it completed by the mid-
dle of October.
In the construction of the station
two poles will be used and these will
be two hundred feet in height. They
will rest on concrete and will be sev-
en inches in diameter at the base ta-
pering out to about eight inches in
the centre then down to about five or
six inches af’the top. Each pole will
be anchored with three stout cables.
The poles will be placed about 150
feet apart and from them will sus-
pend the radio apparatus.
Each station will have a range of
approximately four hundred miles to
mail airplanes and about seven hun-
iation being due to the lesser sending
ability of the airplanes’ wireless.
Static batteries will be used in the
operation of the stations and air-
planes will be enabled to be in con-
stant contact with the radio system
and will thus be able to determine
their location in any kind of weather.

the Patriotic League held at the High
