cited at the unusually large number
of machines, probably thinking they

This week’s health lesson is on
typhoid fever. Until fifteen years
ago Pennsylvania’s death rate from
typhoid fever was 4000. With the es-
tablishment of the State Department
of Health came the campaign for the
purification of the public waters. To-
day out of an estimated population of
eight and a half millions of peopie,
six millions are drinking filtered wa-
* ter and the deaths from typhoid fever
last year numbered six hundred and
thirty-three.
Wetzler’s Boys and Girls band
of Milesburg made its second appear-
ance in Bellefonte for the regular
weekly outdoor concerts on Wednes-
day evening, given this week in front
of the Bush house. Unfortunately the
program was cut short by a steady
downpour of rain, much to the regret
of the large crowd which had assem-
bled to hear it. But the numbers that
were given before rain interfered
were worth coming to hear, and that
is the reason so many people motored
in from miles out in the country.
A rumor has been in circula-
tion around Bellefonte that the new
milk station will not be built before
fall. The “Watchman” is in a posi-
tion to state that the rumor is with-
out any foundation. The blue prints
of the buildings have not only been
completed but copies of the seme are
now in the hands of the various Belle-
fonte contractors inviting bids on the
erection of the buildings. Just as soon
as these have been received and con-
sidered the contract will be awarded
and work begun at once. The ulti-
mate completion of the plant will de-
pend, of course, on how fast the
contractor will be able to rush the
work.
\ BONDED IN WEDLOCK.
! Well Known Young People of Centre
County Set Sail on Matri-
monial Sea.
June has long been termed the
month of roses and brides and from
the number of both
time it would indicate that the month
is well named. In fact it has been
many a week since the “Watchman”
has published such a list of weddings
as appears in its columns this week
and that is the reason we call special
attention to the same in this way.
Read them over and see if any of your
friends are among the bunch:
Rowe—Noll.—William C. Rowe and
Miss Rebie T. Noll, two well known
young people of Bellefonte, were
quietly married in St. John’s Episcopal
church at ten o’clock on Tuesday
morning by the pastor, Rev. Malcolm
DePue Maynard. They had no at-
tendants and the only witnesses to
the ceremony were the bride’s father
and sister, Mr. Emanuel Noll, of
Bellefonte, and Mrs. Chauncey F.
York, of Detroit, Mich., and a very
few intimate friends of the contract-
ing parties.
Immediately after the ceremony Mr.
and Mrs. Rowe left the church
and entered the bridegroom’s
waiting car and left on an automobile
wedding trip, going wherever their
fancy may lead them. Ever since her
mother’s death Miss Noll has had
charge of her father’s very comfort-
able home on north Allegheny street
and those who have been fortunate
enough to enjoy the Colonel’s hospi-
tality know of her accomplishments
as a housekeeper and home-maker.
The bridegroom is so well known in
Bellefonte that he neads no intro-
duction to “Watchman” readers. For
several years past he has been clerk
at the Bush house and will continue
in that position.
The bride’s sister, Mrs. Chauncey
F. York, has issued invitations for a
reception to be given Mr. and Mrs.
Rowe, at the home of the bride’s fath-
er, on north Allegheny street, next
Tuesday evening.
Brooks—Coll.—The home of Mr.
and Mrs. H. M. Coll, at State College,
was the scene of-a pretty wedding
last Wednesday when their daughter,
Miss Mary Beatrice Coll, was united
in marriage to Edgar Warren Brooks,
of Altoona. The ceremony, which
took place at six o’clock in the morn-
ing, was performed by Rev. N. L.
Hummel, of the United Evangelical
church, in the presence of a small
circle of friends composed chiefly of
the families of the contracting parties.
The bride wore a traveling suit of
dark blue tricolette, with lace hat to
harmonize. The young couple were
attended by Mr. and Mrs. Roy G.
Swanson, of Austin, Pa., and Mr. and
Mrs. Harold Guy Coll, of Bellefonte,
sister and brother of the bride.
, The bride is a charming as well as
accomplished young lady and during
the past two years has been stenog-
rapher in the office of Dr. Tippery,
in Altoona. The bridegroom is an in-
dustrious and energetic young man
and holds a good position with the
Pennsylvania railroad company in Al-
toona.
Following the ceremony at State
College a wedding breakfast was serv-
ed at the bride’s home after which Mr.
and Mrs. Brooks motored to Belle-
fonte and left on an extended wed-
ding trip through western States. Af-
ter July 18th they will be at home
to their friends at No. 1706 Sixth ave-
nue, Altoona.

Episcopal church at Syracuse at elev-
en o’clock on Tuesday morning by the
pastor. Only the immediate members
of the family of the bride and a few
intimate friends were present. The
bride was attended by her sister, Mrs.
Edward Rosenfeld, of Madison, N. J.,
while the best man was Thomas B.
Hodges, of Syracuse.
Immediately following the ceremo-
ny a wedding breakfast was served at
the bride’s home and later in the day
Mr. and Mrs. Valentine left on an ex-
tended wedding trip which will in-
clude a visit at Mr. Valentine’s home
in this place about the Fourth. Mr.
Valentine is a member of one of Belle-
fonte’s oldest families. He was edu-
cated at the Bellefonte Academy and
State College, graduating at that in-
‘stitution in the class of 1908, in the

Pleasant Gap Boy Victim of Deplora-
: ble Accident.
i LeRoy Knoffsinger, the thirteen
! year old son of Mr. and Mrs. Wil-
‘liam H. Knoffsinger, of Pleasant Gap,
' was instantly killed on Monday fore-
‘noon, when he was run over by a
: heavily loaded lumber wagon which
broke his neck and caused instant’
! death. The Knoffsinger family lives
| a short distance above Pleasant Gap
i toward the foot of the mountain and
i the boy had gone up the road a few
hundred yards to watch the steam
shovel being used by the state road
gang in grading for the state high-
way.
While there two teams of the McNitt
.Huyett Lumber company engaged
| in hauling lumber from Greens Val-
ley to Pleasant Gap station came along
| and the boy undertook to climb onto
i a load of lumber to ride down to his
| home. He grabbed the brake stick
{and jumped up onto the brake beam,
| but as it happened the beam was cov-
| ered with wet mud and the lad’s feet
| slipped, and he fell to the ground
i right in front of the hind wheel which
{ passed over his neck.
| The driver of the.team was David
| Weaver, but he was busy steering
i his team around several automobiles
| and did not see the Knoffsinger boy
| attempt to get onto his wagon or his
| fall therefrom; and the first knowl-
edge he had of the accident was when
he was overtaken by an automobilist
and told of the tragedy. Naturally
Mr. Weaver was terribly shocked over
the unfortunate incident but no blame
is attached to him in any way.
Workmen on the state road saw
the accident, ran to the scene and
picked the boy up but he was already
past all help. In addition to the par-
ents, a large family of brothers and
sisters survive. Funeral services
were held in the Lutheran church at
the Gap at ten o’clock yesterday morn-
ing by Rev. Brown, after which buri-
al was made in the Lutheran ceme-
i tery.

a premium next Tuesday evening.

Blame it on the “Bloody South.”
Last week the “Watchman” pub-
lished the comparative census of
Bellefonte for the past twenty years,
which showed a decrease of 220 in the
population of Bellefonte since 1890,
and 149 in the past ten years. In
1910 the population of the town by
wards was as follows:
North Ward ....... es cee dy 1768
South Ward ............... 1662
West Ward ........ceie0e. 715
TPOtal. Lins vivivie eserves 4145
The 1920 census by wards is as fol-
lows:
North Ward
South Ward ..
West Ward .
3996
From the above it will be seen that
in the past decade the North ward
showed a gain of 26 in the population,
the West ward decreased 39 while the
big loss was in the South ward where
the decrease was 136. The peculiar
part of it is that the voting popula-
tion in the South ward has been stead-
ily increasing in the past ten years
until it is fast catching up to the poll
strength of the North ward, and just
how it happens to show such a de-
crease in population is one of the un-
solved problems that is open to spec-
ulation.
“Watchman” readers in various
parts of Centre county will be inter-
ested in the announcement that
Joseph Keefer Fisher, son of Mr. and
Mrs. W. G. Fisher, of Sunbury, but
who was born and raised at Boals-
burg, this county, graduated at Tem-
ple University, Philadelphia, yester-
day with high honors as a full-fledged
physician. Among the honors won
was the W. W. Babcock prize, which
consists of a gold medal, and the win-
ning of which is considered a mark of
great distinction. Dr. Fisher has al-
ready arranged to accept the post of
interne at the Harrisburg hospital,
where he will be located during the
ensuing year.
