Bierly Reunion and Peace Celebration
at Rebersburg.
There will be a great peace celebra-
tion in Smull’s grove, one mile north-
west of Rebersburg, Centre county, on
Wednesday, August 20th. Citizens of
Union, Clinton and Centre counties
will unite in celebrating peace. These
three counties are united by many
ties. Very able speakers have been
secured for the occasion. Judge Al-
bert M. Johnson, of Union county;
ex-Judge Ellis L. Orvis, of Centre
county, and Hon. Philip S. Kift, re-
corder of Clinton county, substituting
for Judge Robert McCormick, will
make addresses in the forenoon and
afternoon.
The Bierly family and relatives in
central Pennsylvania and western
States will hold their annual reunion
at the same time and place. Brush-
valley is the home of the Bierlys and
is the place from which they spread
in almost all directions in the United
States. It is for this reason that this
annual reunion is of special interest
to this family.
Another main and attractive fea-
ture of this large gathering will be
the music. There will be music all
day and in abundance. Our Girls band
of Milesburg, one of the best in cen-
tral Pennsylvania, and a special Bier-
ly cornet band will supply it. There
will also be rendered a number of so-
los, duets, quartettes, violin and piano
solos.
Football, foot races, croquet, melon
eating, pie eating, running, jumping,
wrestling, nail-driving, horse shoe
throwing, and a great variety of con-
tests and games will be played.
The great attraction for the even-
ing and night will be a musical enter-
tainment by Our Girls band of Miles-
burg, and a festival of all kinds of re-
freshments will be held at Rebersburg
on the public school grounds. This
will be a rich musical treat and some
of the very finest selections will be
rendered.
This will be everybody’s picnic, for
the young and old. It will be an oc-
casion for relatives and friends to see
each other from different counties
and valleys. Everybody is cordially
invited. Addresses will begin at 10
o'clock a. m. .Luncheon and refresh-
“ments will be sold on the ground to
accommodate those from. a. distance.

‘Big Welcome Home Celebration at
Howard.
The citizens of Howard borough;
Curtin, Orviston and Jacksonville
will tender a welcome home .on Sat-
urday, August 23rd, 1919, at Howard,
to the returned soldiers, sailors, ma~
rines and nurses who participated in
the recent emergency.
An invitation is also extended by
these worthy citizens to the veterans
of the Civil and Spanish-American
wars, and it is the sincere wish of the
people of that community that one
hundred per cent. of the participants
of the past and present wars be in ev-
idence at this celebration, for every
one will be royally entertained and
well taken care of while in attend-
ance.
The borough of Howard expects to
outdo itself in decorating the town
for this festivity. There will be band
concerts all day by two of the best
bands in Central Pennsylvania. A
parade will take place in the after-
noon under the leadership of marshall
Clyde Long, a veteran of the Span-
ish-American war, two large meals
will be served to the soldiers by the
ladies’ committee for the celebration;
this committee having made great
progress, the tables will be groaning
under the weight of the good things
to eat.
There will be addresses during the
day by the Hon. Henry C. Quigley and
J. K. Johnsten and Arthur M. Dale,
leading attorneys of Bellefonte. A
game of ball will be played between
the service and the non-service men,
which will afford some real amuse-
ment, and plenty of entertainment of
all descriptions to satisfy every one
will be in evidence during the day.
The Howard band will hold a festi-
val during the evening.
Every one who wants a good time
or cares to participate in this recep-
tion to the soldiers should put in an
appearance in Howard on the above
day. A full day is guaranteed, with
something doing every minute to en-
tertain both the service men and
women, and their friends.
— Last week the “Watchman”
published an item relative to the price
the members of the Ferguson town-
ship wool grower’s association got for
their woel, namely 64.4 cents a pound,
and since then we have been informed
that the members of the Bellefonte
and Spring Mills associations realized
the same price. All told about 6500
pounds of wool were disposed of which
brought the growers $4,200, or about
$1,200 more than they would have re-
ceived had they sold earlier in the
season. In fact that is just about
what they made by being members of
the wool grower’s associations, and
so well pleased are they with the re-
cult that it will likely mean many
new members and increased interest
in sheep growing.
BREESE.—It was with a feeling of
sincere regret that the people of
Bellefonte received the sorrowful
| news on Tuesday morning of the death
of Randolph Breese, of Downingtown,
which took place about two o’clock
that morning in the West Chester
hospital, following an operation for
what was diagnosed as 2 long-stand-
ing ailment of the stomach. Mr-
Breese saw service in France in the
Canadian army, was discharged and
returned home about two months ago.
Shortly after his return he submitted
to a minor operation but that failing
to relieve him he went to the hospital
last week for another operation but
his system was so weakened and run
down that he did not survive the
shock.
Randolph Kidder Breese was a son
of Capt. and Mrs. Randolph Kidder
Breese and was born at Newport, R.
1., about forty four years ago. His
mother was a daughter of the late
Governor Andrew G. Curtin. As a
young man he was given a technical
education and selected mechanical en-
gineering as his life’s work. For a
number of years he held the position
of master mechanic in the Fort
Wayne railroad shops until his health
broke under the strain. Later he
spent several years in South America
engaged in geological research work
for the U. S. government and after
his return to the States the condition
of his health was such that he was
prohibited from tying himself down
to any kind of active work.
When the United States went into
war with Germany he promptly offer-
ed his services, though far past the
age of the selective service act, but
upon being examined was promptly
refused as physically unfit. A second
time he tried to enlist and was again
rejected and then he came to
Bellefonte and spent some time here
in the hope of recuperating his health
to the point where he would be accept-
ed but when he tried the third time at
a recruiting office in Philadelphia he
was again refused and given to un-
derstand the decision was final. Cha-
grinned at thus being unable to get in-
to the fight in the United States army
he went across the street from the U.
S. recruiting office to a Canadian re-
cruiting office, was examined and ac-
cepted. He went across. about a year
ago and saw service as a private in
the trenches and there is hardly any
doubt but that the rigors of training
and service in the field contributed to
his ailment and hastened his death.
He never married but is survived
by his mother, who lives at Downing-
town; two sisters, Betty, married to
Gilbert McElwaine, of ‘Downingtown,
and Jennie, married to Joseph Baker,
of Wayne, and one brother, Andrew,
at home.
Funeral services were held at the
family home on Wednesday evening
and yesterday the body was taken to
Newport; R.- IL, for burial beside that
of his father. ... ts —————————

REITER.—Mrs. ~ Henrietta & Reiter,
“I an aged lady who the past six years
had made her home with her niece,
Mrs. Joseph Rodgers, at Runville,
died on Sunday of general debility,
aged 84 years. She was a daughter
of Christian and Mary Baumgardner
and was born in Mifflin county. Om
December 25th, 1861, she was married
to Reuben L. Reiter by Rev. Alexan-
der Edmiston, and a good part of
their married life was spent at Kee-
waydin, Clearfield county. Mr. Rei-
ter died in 1904 and since that time
she had spent most of her life among
relatives. She was a member of the
Lutheran church and a devout chris-
tian woman. Funeral services were
held at the Rodgers home on Monday
evening by Rev. J.C. Erb and on
Tuesday morning the remains were
taken to Keewaydin for burial.

HEATON.—Miss Sue Heaton, a
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Howard
Heaton, passed away at the home of
her parents in Milesburg at 2:30
o'clock last Friday afternoon, follow-
ing an illness of six months or more
with tuberculosis, the result of an
attack of the influenza during the ep-
idemic last fall. She was twenty
years old on July 6th and was one of
the original members of Our Girls
band of Milesburg, playing bass in
that organization from the time of its
institution until last March when she
was compelled to quit on account of
her health. Surviving her are her
parents, two brothers and five sisters.
Funerai services were held at two
o'clock on Monday afternoon, after
which burial was made in the Treziy-
ulny cemetery.

ROBB.—Mrs. Lillie A. Robb died
on Friday morning of last week at the
home of her sister, Mrs. Catharine
Brown, on east Logan street, of rup-
| ture of the aorta. A number of years
ago she was injured by over-exerting
herself and her death was no doubt
the result. She was a daughter of
Eli and Margaret Whiteman Baney
and was born in Union county on May
16th, 1867, hence was 52 years, 2
months and 8 days old. Most of her
life had been spent in Bellefonte.
Funeral services were held in the
Methodist church on Sunday after-
noon by Rev. Scott, and burial made
jin the Union cemetery:

a visit Arthur C. Harper has an-
nounced the fact that he has resigned

Game Commissioner Kalbfus and
Supt. Kelly Killed on Grade
Crossing.
Dr. Joseph Kalbfus,
the State Game Commission, and
of the Commission,
Sunday,
ning sixty miles an
automobile fair on the side, killed the
men and reducing the car to kindling
wood.
The two men, together with presi-
dent Charles R. Penrose, of Philadel-
phia, and John M. Phillips, of Pitts-
burgh, a member of the Game Com-
mission had been in western Pennsyl-
vania inspecting land offered as game
preserves under a recent Act of the
Legislature, which appropriated $100,-
000 for the purchase of lands west of
the Allegheny mountains. Friday
they spent at Uniontown, Saturday
they were at DuBois and Sunday they
had planned to go over a tract located
near Warren.
The party left DuBois Sunday
morning, traveling in two automo-
biles. One contained Dr. Penrose and
Mr. Phillips, and was leading. Kelly
and Dr. Kalbfus were in a car at the
rear. At Saybrook, in Warren coun-
ty, about nine miles from Warren,
there is a very dangerous crossing
across the tracks cf the Renovo di-
vision of the Pennsylvania railroad.
Just before the railroad crossing
proper a log road is crossed and then
there is a steep ascent to the railroad
crossing. The view of the tracks is
hidden by embankments and brush
and the first car had crossed safely
and had proceeded about a quarter of
a mile when the second car was
struck. The train was about two
hours late and was running at high
speed.
The pilot of the locomotive struck
the automobile squarely between the
wheels and bent the car like tin about
the front of the engine. Dr. Kalbfus
was thrown some distance and was in-
stantly killed. The automobile was
carried for a quarter of a mile with
the body of Kelly held on the pilot un-
til the train was stopped. He lived a
few moments. While expiring he
said “The boys are with me,” and the
trainmen searched for the bodies of
boys, not knowing the other members
of the party were meant.
Dr. Penrose and Mr. Phillips pro-
ceeded to Clarendon before hearing of
the accident and then returned to the
scene. The bodies of both men were
taken to Warren and a coroner’s in-
quest held.
Both men escaped being mangled
and their faces were not marked, but
the legs and backs of both men were
broken.
Dr. Kalbfus had been secretary of
the State Game Commission twenty-
| five-years and a familiar “figure” in
every county. in.the. State. He. fre-
quently visited Bellefonte and Centre
county and was quite ‘well known
here.: ‘He was sixty-seven years old
and is survived by his wife, a daugh-
ter and a son. Burial was made at
Stevensville, Bradford county.
Supt. Kelly was also well known in
‘Bellefonte and Centre county and for
a number of years prior to having
been appointed a superintendent « of
the Commission was a game warden
in the central part of the State and
made many visits to Centre county in
the discharge of his official duties. He
was fifty-five years old and is surviv-
ed by his wife and two children. Mr.
Kelly was buried at DuBois.

— In the neighborhood of one
thousand people, mostly members: of
the Knights of Columbus, attended
the unveiling of the statue of the Sa-
cred Heart on the Catholic chapel
campus at State College on Sunday
morning. They motored to the Col-
lege from almost every town within
a radius of one hundred miles. The
Bellefonte Lodge K. of C. was repre-
sented with a large delegation. Field
mass was celebrated on the campus at
10:30 o'clock and this was followed by
——Mickey is coming.
a short sermon and the unveiling of |
the statue by Father O'Hanlon. From
the College the visitors motored to
Boalsburg where a very substantial
luncheon was served by Major Theo-
dore Davis Boal on the lawn at his
country estate. Following the lunch-
eon the visitors were shown through
the Boal chapel, the museum where
he has assembled a large collection of
German war trophies, and other
things of interest in and about his
home.

On Tuesday one of the new
drivers employed by the Beatty Mo-
tor company started on a trip across
Nittany mountain. He got along all
right until he crossed the crest of the
mountain and started down grade
when he became a little mixed in the
way to handle the car going down hill
with the result that he ran off the
road and down over the side of the
mountain a distance of from one hun-
dred and fifty to two hundred feet.
Fortunately the car did not upset but
stayed on its wheels until it stopped.
Green was somewhat bruised but not
badly injured and the body of the car
was damaged but not very seriously.

Dr. M. W. Reed returned to
this country last week from France
on the Leviathan and being granted a
brief furlough came to Bellefonte the
fore part of the week. Tuesday after-
noon he left for Denver, Col., where
Mrs. Reed and the children have been
visiting friends. His stay there will
be brief, however, as he will almost
immediately return te Camp Sher-
man, Chillicothe, Ohio, where he con-
templates receiving his discharge. He
will then return to Bellefonte and re-
cure the practice of his profession.

On Monday morning on his regular
trip from New York to Bellefonte pi-
propel-
ler of his plane.
Pilot Anglin averred that the at-
mosphere was clear all the way from
New York until they reached Zion
when they began to notice the fog and
the closer they got to Bellefonte the
denser it got. With his knowledge of
the surroundings he knew where
Bellefonte was and the general lay of |
the field but it was impossible to see
sufficiently clear to get it exact. In
his dilemma he circled several times
and while doing so saw smoke ascend-
ing through the fog from a fire the
field men had built to guide the avia-
tors to their landing place but never
thinking of that being a signal he
supposed there was a fire here some-
where and that naturally threw him
off his location. In the meantime both |
machines were running low in gas |
and as a last means of locating the
got the direction and then flew
straight for the fleld, but he mistook
it by a field’s length and hit the ball

In this connection it might be said
that the succession of foggy morn-
ings we have had lately is something
very unusual for this locality, and are
accounted for by the exceptionally
cool nights. In fact the nights this
summer have established a record for
coolness never before known here. To
the writer's knowledge there have not
been over two or three nights this
summer that could be characterized
as real warm, and this being the mid-
dle of August it is hardly likely there
will be any more during the balance
of the summer season.

This is a great convenience enjoyed
by the people of this community and
they are urged to take advantage of
this speedy means of communication.

of Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Knisely, sur-
prised their many friends by slipping
quietly away to Lock Haven on Mon-
day where they were united in mar-
riage by Rev. Metzler, of the Metho-
dist church. They returned home on

good, old-fashioned serenade at the
home of the bridegroom’s parents on
east Lamb street by a band of calli-

Government Groceries Can be Bought
Through Bellefonte Postoffice.
Postmaster P. H. Gherrity has re-
ceived authorization from the United
States government to accept orders
for groceries which constitute part of
| a large stock of supplies in their
hands since the close of the war.
This list contains articles of food that
are of use in every home and they are
put up in original cases, or cartons,
or bags as the case may be, and will
not be broken. Therefore, if one fam-
ily is unable to use an entire carton
or case they can by going in with one
or more families be able to buy the
entire original package.
It will be impossible to print the
entire list with the prices but a price
list, giving cost of case and cost of
unit will be placed in the lobby of
the postoffice where it may be consult-
ed at any time. The order must be
prepared in duplicate and one copy
given to the postmaster and the other
kept in the hands of the purchaser.
To the price of the groceries must be
added the parcel post charges, which
prevail for the first and second zone;
that is, 5 cents for the first pound and
one cent for each additional pound,
and the limit of weight for this sale
of groceries only has been increased
to 125 pounds, or if purchasers’ order
| amounts to more than 125 pounds, a!
field Anglin circled to Point McCoy, proportionate charge will be made.
At the close of each day the orders
received that day will be totaled by
the postmaster and forwarded to the
Zone Surplus Property officer at Phil-
adelphia, from which point the goods
will be shipped to Bellefonte. Ome
point that must be borne in mind is,
that if sufficient orders are not receiv-
ed in one day, for instance, to make
up a case of corn which contains 24
No. 2 cans, that order will have to be
left over until enough orders have
been received to make up for one full
case. Orders for parts of a case may
be ordered by different families and
ordered through one individual, who
must be responsible for that order.
All orders for groceries must be ac-
companied by the cash, which also in-
cludes the parcel post charges. The
public may hand their order to the
postmaster any time after the fif-
teenth of August, but the supply is
limited and the orders will be for-
warded in their sequence so that first
come will be first served.
As there has been no additional al-
lowance granted to this office for par-
cel post hire, ‘and the delivery of
these articles will entail such an im-
mense amount of work on the parcel
post carrier and prevent him from:
delivering the ordinary parcels re-
ceived, we would suggest that persons
ordering groceries who have cars or
wagons call at the postoffice and get
their order. ; :

The most interesting event in local
baseball news this week was the with-
drawal of Milesburg from the Red
Cross league on account of what they
averred as unjust decisions of the um-
pire in the last game they played and
the substitution of Hecla in their
stead. The first game of the new-
comers was with the North ward on
Tuesday night and J. Frank Smith
and other enthusiasts had visions of
eating the Heclaites alive, but all such
rosy visions were dispelled when the
visitors pranced onte the field and
most of them were recognized as
members of the Nypen club team of
Lock Haven. Of course there were
one or two, and maybe three, real
Hecla players in the bunch, but they
really weren't needed because the bal-
ance of the team had a walkover, and
at the end of the game the tally
sheet said 5 to 0 in favor of Hecla.
Last Friday evening’s game be-
tween the South and West wards was
a tie, neither team being able to
score.
And just for the benefit of baseball
fans we will say that manager Joe
Herman of the Hecla (?) club will
bring his aggregation to Bellefonte
this evening for a game with the
West ward. This will undoubtedly be
an exciting contest. The Heclaites
are already all “sot up” over what
they are going to do to Bellefonte and
have visions of another nice nest of
runs for themselves with a goose egg
for the West, so there is sure to be
lots of excitement and sport at the
game. For this reason we advise
everybody who can to go out and see
it. We might also add that Thomas
will pitch for the West ward.
Two Well Known Citizens Ill
Robert Sechler, mail agent on the
Lewisburg division of the Pennsylva-
nia railroad, was taken quite ill on
his regular run to Bellefonte on Wed-
nesday morning and when the train
reached Bellefonte had to be taken
home in a taxi. His condition was so
alarming that Mrs. Sechler, who had
left Bellefonte with Mrs. C. T. Hennig
to motor to Harrisburg, was summon-
ed home when she reached Mifflinburg
and returned to Bellefonte at once.
Fortunately, however, Mr. Sechler
took a turn for the better late in the
evening and yesterday was decidedly
improved. He had only gone to work
on Monday after being off duty a
month on account of illness.
J. P. Smith was also taken quite ill
on Wednesday while at his work at
the Phoenix planing mill and had to
home. It was at first
thought he was suffering with indi-
gestion but it later developed that the
trouble was likely with his heart, and
while his condition is serious enough
to give his family some uneasiness he
was resting more comfortably yester-
day.
