The condition of the weather at
this writing (Thursday) is not very
encouraging for a warm, sunshiny
day on Sunday, and naturally every
«woman in Bellefonte who has her
Easter suit in readiness is anxiously
wondering if she will get a chance to
show it off. Of course, we hope they
all will, because that is the day the
women generally bloom forth like
birds of paradise, and would be griev- |
. ously disappointed if the day were not
favorable for their annual display.
v A local statistician has figured
out that there are in the neighborhood
«of fourteen hundred men in Bellefonte
.and vicinity who are either out of
‘work or working only about half time,
which is a large number for a com-
munity such as this. If these figures
are anyways near correct farmers
should have no trouble in securing all
the help needed this spring.
course, it is just possible that some of
the lime industries may pick up ere
long, but at this writing there is no
indication of it.

| Borough Council to Go After Tax
Delin
i quents.
|
|
|
At the regular meeting of borough
‘ council on Monday evening secretary
= | W. T. Kelly reported that a contract
' has been entered into with the Fabric
' Fire Hose company for 600 feet of
, new hose at $1.25 per foot, payment to
| be made four months after receipt of
i hose.
| Mr. Harris, of the Street committee,
reported that the State Highway De-
| partment has already negotiated for
| the material for resurfacing Bishop,
Allegheny, Linn and north Water
streets and it is quite probable they
will begin the work at an early date.
In this connection he called attention
to the fact that the various boxes and
coverings of the old Steam Heating
company on the street are a nuisance
and recommended that in repairing
the street they be removed. This rec-
ommendation brought up the question
as to whether or not the franchise of
the company has not been forfeited
by the company through its failure to
supply service to the public, and also
the question of borough taxes against
the property. This also brought up the
question of the various tax liens the
borough has against properties in
town for taxes and it was the unani-
mous decision of council to have the
borough solicitor take action in con-
nection with all liens, and collect the
money.
| Mr. Fauble, of the Finance commit-
tee, called attention to the fact that
: there is still in the neighborhood of a
thousand dollars due the borough
from property owners on the construc-
. tion of the state highway on Water
i'street, and that those who have not
| vet paid simply ignore all demands
for the money. The Finance commit-
| tee was instructed to consult with the
borough solicitor and proceed to col-
' lect the money.
i Mr. Knisely, of the Fire and Police
| committee, reported the fact that bur-
| gess W. Harrison Walker is authority
! for the statement that more or less
: stealing of packages from automo-
!biles is being done in Bellefonte, es-
| pecially on Saturday nights, and sug-
' gested that a plain clothes man be se-
i cured to catch the thieves. Several
i members of council expressed the
| opinion that the present police force
is ample if the police would exert
| themselves to do the work, instead of
| standing in one place all the time.
And, further, that it would be an ut-
ter impossibility to place a guard over
every automobile to see that nothing ,
is taken therefrom. In fact, it was
the sentiment of ‘some of the council-
men that shoppers should not place
packages in autos or other vehicles
and then go away and leave them un-
guarded.
Mr. Knisely also called attention to
the fact that after 8:10 p. m. train had
gone out of Bellefonte, or about 8:30
o’clock, the lights at the railroad
crossing are turned off and that sec-
tion of the town is without light. Mr.
Harris stated that he is now in com-
munication with Superintendent John-
ston and hopes to make some arrange-
ment whereby the lights will be kept
on.
Mr. Knisely further reported the
fact that employees of the American
Railway Express company persist in
blocking the pavement in front of
their office with their horse and wag-
on and big truck, and the secretary
was instructed to notify the company
that the practice must be stopped or
the offenders will be arrested and
fined.
The Finance committee asked for
the renewal of notes for $800, $1500,
$1200, $5500, $1000, $500 and $2000,
and for the execution of two new
notes for $1500 and $1200 respectively
to meet current bills, all of which
were authorized.
Mr. Harris called the attention of
council to the fact that the Joe Baney
family, on Logan street, are not keep-
ing in strict quarantine, the children
being permitted to go out and play
around, and the result is that Mrs.
Wilbur Saxion, who lives in one side
‘of the house occupied by the Baney’s
has also contracted smallpox and the
house was quarantined on Monday.
To prevent the spread of the disease
he advocated placing a guard on the
house to make sure that the quaran-
tine is rigidly observed. Council
sanctioned Mr. Harris’ suggestion and
decided to get in immediate touch
with the local board of health and
- take the utmost precaution to prevent
the spread of the disease.
Now that the state road on Bishop,
' Spring and Pine streets has been
i completed the Street committee, bor-
, ough manager and borough solicitor
| were instructed to get in conference
| with the State Highway Department
"and make up the schedule of amounts
i due from property owners along the
, road, so that the money can be
i promptly collected.
Mr. Cunningham, of the water com-
, mittee, reported that thereis still a
, considerable amount due on the 1919
f | water tax duplicate and that the debtor
, property owners simply ignore all de-
mands for the money and he recom-
, mended that the list be turned over to
| the borough manager with instruc-
tions to give delinquents due notice
and if the taxes are not then paid to
turn off the water. Council authoriz-
ed the same to be done.
The borough manager reported that
he had received a request to turn the
water on at the Lane house on east
Linn street and asked for instructions.
Inasmuch as there is a large bill of
water taxes against said property
long overdue and unpaid council in-
structed borough manager not to turn
the water on until the back taxes are
paid.
Bills to the amount of $4781.37
were approved for payment.

glarized on Wednesday night of last

fore Squire S. Kline Woodring, in
this place, and the man was discharg-
ed.

clerk in the bank, has been selected to
succeed Mr. Rogers as cashier and
as clerk by the board of trustees. Mr.
McDowell, the new cashier, is a son of
Mr. and Mrs. Harry T. McDowell, of
Howard, and his selection by the board
of directors shows wise judgment on
their part.
Bellefonte Shirt Factory to Resume.
S. D. Ray, proprietor of the Belle-
fonte shirt factory, expects to start
work there on or about the first of
April. He has secured an unlimited
contract with a large New York firm

and in addition to employing all his
old help will need some twenty-five or
thirty additional operators. With the
silk mill equipped and running to full
capacity, the Pennsylvania Match fac-
tory in full operation and the shirt
factory about ready to resume every
girl in this section willing to work
| ought to be able to get employment.
| Fire in Millheim,
1
The handsome brick residence of the
| Reifsnyder family in Millheim was en-
, tirely destroyed by fire yesterday
{ morning. The house was occupied by
‘Joseph H. Reifsnyder and family and
| Miss Jennie Reifsnyder, though the
latter is now in California where she
i has been for several months. The fire
| originated in the upper part of the
| building, but just how cannot be def:
initely told. It was first discovered
| about nine o’clock and made such rap-
!id headway that nothing could be got-
ten out of the second floor of the
| building, though practically all the
first floor furnishings were saved.
' The house and contents were, of
! course, insured but not sufficiently to
‘ cover the loss. Word of the fire was
| promptly telegraphed to Miss Reif-
i snyder in California.
i
| Methodist Conference to Meet in Ty-
rone Next Year.
{ The annual sessions of the Central
Pennsylvania Methodist Episcopal
conference came to a close in the
church at Newberry on Monday night
with the announcement of the yearly
appointments. Among the eleventh
hour business transacted was select-
ing a place for meeting next year.
Invitations were received from Ber-
wick and Tyrone and the latter place
was selected because it would afford
all the ministers in the conference an
opportunity to visit the home for aged
women now in operation at that place.
Quite a number of changes were
made in the assignment of ministers,
but the Bellefonte church was not af-
fected, Rev. Alexander Scott being re-
turned here at the request of the con-
gregation. New appointments in Cen-
tre county include Port Matilda, W. H.
Upham; Snow Shoe, J. M. Stevens;
Philipsburg, R. S. Oyler, and Pine
Grove Mills, J. S. Hammace, Rev. I. E.
Fisher being transferred to Clearville,
Bedford county.
Motorist Shot in Arm.
Last Thursday morning Mr. and
Mrs. Don Peterson and Mr. and Mrs.
John Peterson, all of Shirleysburg,
Huntingdon county, were in Bellefonte
attending to some business relative to
the purchase of a farm in Centre
county. They made the trip in Don
| Peterson’s automobile and on their re-
turn trip they passed a big truck
standing alongside of the road near
Alfaratta. There were five or six men
with the truck and just after the au-
toists passed them they heard a re-
port which they thought was a tire
blowout, but almost simultaneously
John Peterson felt a stinging sensa-
tion in his right arm. An examina-
tion disclosed the fact that he had
been shot, the bullet passing through
the fleshy part of his arm, through
his clothing and through the outer
garments of his wife, who was sitting
alongside of him.
Almost at the same time the big
truck pulled out, going towards Ty-
rone. Of course, there is no certainty
that any of the men with the truck
fired the shot, but as they were the
only persons in that vicinity, officers
at once started on their trail to inves-
tigate.

Betty Stevenson Badly Injured.
Mr. and Mrs. George F. Stevenson,
of ‘Waddle, have received word from
San Antonio, Texas, of the serious in-
jury of their daughter, Miss Betty, a
nurse in the government hospital
there, on Tuesday evening of last
week. Miss Stevenson in company
with a soldier from the government
fort, were out horseback riding and
just as they were in the act of passing
a touring car a big truck also attempt-
ed to pass the car and ran into the
two riders. Miss Stevenson was
thrown from her horse onto the motor
of the truck and from there tumbled
into a stream of water along the road-
way. Her companion suffered a brok-
en arm and .the two horses, which
were among the best polo horses at
the fort, were so badly injured they
had to be killed. While Miss Steven-
son sustained no broken bones, her
right arm and right side are quite
badly injured, but just how seriously,
cannot yet be definitely told.
Miss Betty and her sister, Miss Sa-
ra, have been at San Antonio only a
comparatively short time, having been
transferred there from San Francis-
co. They were under orders to leave
in the near future for the Philippines
but Miss Betty’s injury will delay
their deprature indefinitely.
Harvey’s Greater Minstrels.
Having been trained and tested in
newspaper and circus business it is
not strange that R. M. Harvey, the
founder of the Harvey Greater Min-
strels, should be successful in the col-
lecting of an unusual array of min-
strel and vaudeville acts for his com-
pany of fifty people. Bold and yet
cautiously scrutinizing, ready to take
a chance on a big salary and yet cer-
tain to know what he is doing, this
minstrel magnate seems able to re-
tain the same when they have become
members of his company. The Aus-
tralian Waites, without a doubt the
world’s most daring and wonderful
whip crackers, were long associated
with Mr. Harvey in the circus field
and appreciating their unusual merit
and the superior novelty of their act
he did not hesitate to engage them to
be featured with his minstrel compa-
ny. At the Garman theatre Monday,
March 28th.
