There are quite a number of people in Bellefonte, and they are not all kiddies, cither, whose nerves are just tingling to go to Altoona next Tuesday for the big Ringling and Barnum and Bailey show. : The J. L. Montgomery estate has taken over the interest of Col. W. Fred Reynolds in the Bellefonte Fuel and Supply company and will have full control of the same in the future.

Herbert Vord, formerly of Pine Grove Mills, but now in the mu- sical instrument business in Philadel- phia, writes that his famous old dog “Dan” has departed this life. We ap- ply “famous” to Dan because he was the only dog we ever saw actually play a drum and he did it fairly well and certainly enthusiastically.

Lack of space prevents a more detailed ac- count. After all expenses are paid there will be about $450 to divide be- tween Troop L and the fund for the new skating pond, or $225 {to each, as the vesult of the minstrels. —I'ourteen thousand trout about an inch and a half in length arrived in Bellefonte on the 4:25 train on Tuesday evening and were taken by local fishermen to Fishing creek where they were released. The trout were from 2 United States fish hatchery in Maryland and were brought to Belle- fonie in a specially equipped car of the U. S. Fisheries Department. There were twenty-eight cans of five hun- dred trout each. ———A reinforced concrete mill ought to be a most durable structure and no doubt will be, considering the time it takes to crect one. At least that is the opinion of these who have been watching the progress of the new ill being built by C. Y. Wagner just south of Bellefonte. The concrete for the first story has been completed but it takes longer to put in the steel rods for reinforcing the concrete and the forms than it does to pour the concrete and at the rate the workmen are now progressing it will be several weeks yet before the walls are com- pleted and ready for the roof. The State Game Commission has secured 2 number of rinkneck pheasant eggs from the Centre game preserve at Port Matilda which they have distributed among sportsmen in other counties who will see that they are hatched and when the birds are old enough to take care of themselves liberated for stocking purposes. The ringneck pheasant is quite hardy anrd somewhat larger than the native pheasant, and if bird hunters exercise the proper care during the open sea- son and allow them to live there is no reason why they should not become quite plentiful in Centre county moun- tains. REET : THE AMMERMAN ESTATE. Wagon Loads of Vintena Among the nh Personal Property. i The passing away of Miss Mary | Ammerman last Tuesday leaves the i estate in a somewhat muddled condi- | tion, and the biggest muddle at the | present time seems to be what will be- | come of the several wagon loads of | Vintena in storage there. Vintena, by | the way is about ninety per cent. pure | port wine, the other ten per cent. be- ing a little nux vomica and a decoc- | tion of harmless herbs mixed with it | to give it the name of a patent medi- cine. Going back about fifteen years or more a number of men in Bellefonte organized the Penn Chemical compa- ny for the manufacture of Vintena, a “guaranteed” tonic for all ills. While the formula was of course copyright- ed and not generally known it is no secret that the basic properties of Vin- tena were port wine, which was pur- chased in Cincinnati and shipped to Bellefonte in barrels. A considerable quantity of the “patent medicine” was manufactured but the sales did not boom to any great extent. The com- pany had its plant in the rear of the Ammerman building on Bishop street and along about 1907 they got a little behind in rent and the landladies locked up their place of business. In 1908 the* company brought action against the Ammerman sisters for damages and secured a judgment for $465.66. The Superior court sustain- ed the action and the judgment was finaily paid, which naturally left the Ammerman sisters in possession of all the property of the Penn Chemic- al company, which included the Vin- tena. In 1918 both Nancy Ammerman and Mary Ammerman executed wills in which they left their share in the property to each other in event of death. Nancy was the first to pass away and now Miss Mary has gone to her reward. The nearest heirs are cousins, and of these there are now in Bellefonte Mrs. Thomas Noll and daughter, Mrs. William Lambert, of Pitcairn, and Mrs. Borden, of Portage. R. Scott Ammerman Esq., of Danville, is a relative far removed, but he is not now figuring in the estate. As no late will of Miss Mary Am- merman has been found disposing of the estate Mrs. Thomas Noll, through her attorney, W. D. Zerby, has filed an application for letters of adminis- tration, but objections have been filed to the granting of same by other dis- tant relatives and until this complica- tion is unraveled by the court no move can legally be made towards the set- tlement of the estate or the disposi- tion of any personal property. The estate consists of the real es- tate on Bishop street, which is the old dwelling and a store room, with con- siderable space between. In addition, is the personal property, which in- cludes primarily the household goods, and in addition the Vintena. Just now the vintena and what will become of it is causing more or less speculation among the general public. The heirs who are at present in Bellefonte, it is reported, undertook to dispose of it several nights ago by pouring it in the sewer, but after they had emptied would be too big a job, then conceived the idea of hiring a truck and having it hauled down street and dumped in- to Spring creek. But this was not done and now it looks as if the vinte- na will remain locked up until an ad- ministrator is appointed and the stuff disposed of in some legal way. Just how this will finally be done in these times of total prohibition re- mains to be seen. According to the best data obtainable there are several wagon loads of it, all bottled and packed in cartons in the old cellar. It iz principally port wine, and if it was as good in 1908 as some of the mem- bers of the old Penn Chemical compa- ny claimed it was it ought to be much better now with twelve years more of age added to it. And with all kinds of wine at n premium now the intrin- sie value of the stuff is no doubt con- cidarable. There is hardly any doubt but that it comprises the biggest bulk of port wine stored in any place in Bellefonte and if the Penn Chemical company was still in existence and had good title to it, they would have no trouble in getting rid of it. Six Nurses Will Graduate. The graduating exercises for the Bellefonte hospital training school for nurses will be held in the court house next Tuesday evening, June 1st, at cight o'clock.

Parks has not been long out of the penitentiary where he was sent for burglary and of late the fact came to the ears of the police that he carried a gun in his hip pocket. Learning that he was up in the neighborhood of the old pump house policeman Yerger went up there about eight o'clock Monday evening and placed him under arrest. He started down toward the depot with his prisoner and had not gone far when the later bumped him over backwards then ran. The policeman gave chase firing his revolver in the air and Parks ran across the race above the Lauderbach-Zerby store and had at the Beatty garage. Securing the assistance of several men Yerger covered every avenue of escape and finally caught Parks at the garage. He was then handcuffed and taken to jail. —— Just think of buying straw hats when the season is just starting, at a 20 per cent. discount.

Trout fishermen from Centre and Mifflin counties who want to reach the waters of Laurel run, will find the road along the stream in better con- dition this spring. During the last few weeks forester W. E. Montgom- cry, of Milroy, has had considerable work done to improve the road. Torester Montgomery has notified the Pennsylvania Department of For- estry that $150 was contributed for the road improvement by the members of ithe Altoona camp, located near the Sawdust spring. It is expected that goveral other camps in that locality will also make contributions. The Ginte Department of Forestry has amiced to appropriate an amount cqual to the sum raised by the various caTaps. The Laurel run road leaves the Lewistown to Bellefonte state highway at the “Short Turn,” extending wesi- ward through the valley between Spruce mountain and Slate ridge on the south and Long mountain on the north. flow to Cleanse the Teeth, Murs. John Walker, of McCalmont and company, donated, this week sev- cnty-five pounds of lime to the health crusade work in the public schools. The lime was used to teach the grade pupils how to make lime water for a mouth wash, each pupil being given half a cupful of lime with the follow- ing directions from the U. S. Bureau of Education: “For cleansing the teeth, a good tooth brush with bristles that do not casily break or pull out should be used. The teeth should be brushed, not only up and down and across, but also by a rotary or circular motion from the gums of one jaw over the teeth to the gums of the other, and so round and round. In addition to the tooth brush, dental floss, (waxed silk thread) should be used every day or two to remove the decaying food from between the teeth, where decay most often takes place. “The best mouth wash is lime wa- ter which may be used beneficially once a day to rinse the mouth. To make lime water, place one-half cup full of finely powdered unslaked lime in a quart bottle of water. Allow to stand twenty-four hours and pour off the clear liquid into bottle to use for mouth wash. This powder may be used for successive solutions until en- tirely dissolved.” C. Musser, of the State-Centre Elec- ! til the first of September and prior to | day recommended a pardon for Wal- ter C. Dress, who escaped from the’ new western penitentiary at Rockview ' EE : ———————— Col. Spangler to Leave for California June 9th. Col. J. L. Spangler, who on last Tuesday was elected a delegate from the Twenty-first congressional district to the Democratic national convention, will not be able to wait for the special train which will convey the eastern delegates across the continent to at- tend the convention which will con- vene at San Francisco on June 28th. Instead he and Mrs. Spangler will leave Bellefonte on June 9th and go to the Golden State where the Colo- nel has been summoned to reconcile the difference between the oil operat- ors and their twenty thousand em- ployees. The fact will be recalled that a year ago Col. Spangler, as a member of the | labor arbitration commission appoint- ed by President Wilson spent six i weeks in California arbitrating the wage question between the oil operat- ors and their employees. One of the points made in the settlement of the demands at that time was that if the . employees kept the agreement faith- . fully -until the date of its expiration on June 30th, 1920, they were to be paid a bonus of twenty-five cents a day for every day they have worked during the year. The total, naturally foots up to in the neighborhood of $800,000. As a union the employees have faithfully kept the agreement but in- dividually some forty workmen have . not kept faith, and now the operators are hedging on this fact to keep from | paying the bonus to the big majority. It is to adjust this question that Col. Spangler has been summoned to Cal- ifornia at this time and will meet representatives of the operators and workmen in San Francisco on June 14th. In addition to adjusting the bo- nus question the wage question for the ensuing year will also be fixed. Of course it just happens that this is a very opportune time for the Colo- nel to go west. He can give his serv- ices to the settlement of the above question and also be on hand in plen- ty of time for the opening of the na- , tional convention, and it is just pos- S010 might be able to secure tickets | to the convention for any of his | friends who desire to attend. et ———— | Walizer — Harter. — The congrega- | tion which gathered for worship at the Reformed church at Jacksonville jon Sunday morning was treated to a | delightful surprise when they were i made witnesses to the marriage of Glenn Hugh Walizer, of Salona, and Miss Mary Martha Harter, daughter of County Commissioner and Mrs. George M. Harter, of Marion town- ' ship. Notwithstanding the fact that ' thirty or more invitations were issued ‘for the wedding the fact was adroitly | kept from becoming public and very i | few of the congregation had even an | inkling of the approaching ceremony ‘ when they went into the church. After the singing of a hymn and | prior to the regular service Mr. Wali- | zer and Miss Harter, attended by Vie- ' tor Harter, a brother of the bride, and Miss Mary Hockenberry, of Montan- don, a cousin of the bride, went for- ward to the altar and the officiating minister, Rev. R. F. Gass, promptly pronounced the words that made them man and wife. At the conclusion of the morning service the members of the two fami- lies and intimate friends of the two young people, about fifty in number, journeyed to the Harter home where a delicious wedding dinner was served to all. On Monday morning Mr. and Mrs. Walizer left on a ten days’ wed- ding trip to eastern cities at the ex- piration of which they will take up their residence in Lock Haven. The bridegroom is a son of Mr. and Mrs. Hugh Walizer of Salona, and holds a good position in the paper mill at Lock Haven. The “Watchman” ex- tends congratulations. I He Threw the Bull, All Right. “Throwing the bull” is on old saw that is frequently used in ways more expressive than elegant, and the con- vict who made his escape from the western penitentiary on Monday evi- dently had his own ideas about throw- ing the bull. The man in question was D. M. Farren, an American and a farmer, sent up from Venango county for two years and six months for false pretense. His work at the peniten- tiary of late had been to take care of the big blooded bull kept on the farms. As the animal was more or less cantankerous Farren took him out to pasture at the end of a rope and pole. He took him out on Monday as usual and finally managed to get out of sight when he tied the bull to a tree and left for parts unknown, and that is the way he threw the bull. Farren ic a man about 48 years of age, five feet eight inches tall and weighs 194 pounds. When he took his departure he had on white trous- ers, striped shirt, a cap and gum boots. The Golden Dragon.
