J. 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. Nat-
urally Herb. fecls badly about his
loss.
« ——-The Bellefonte Academy min-
strels gave three splendid performanc-
es in the opera house last week and
the young men who teok part are de-
serving of a lot of credit. 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

-——The lower part of town had a
little unusual excitement on Monday
evening when policeman Elmer Yer-
gor undertook the arrest of James
Parks on the charge of carrying con-
ccaled deadly weapons. 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.

Improved Road to Laurel Run.
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 |

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.

| 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.
