ALL ABOUT TOWN AND COUNTY.
——No perceptible improvement
has taken place in Mrs. Andrew Bell’s
condition, which has been regarded as |
serious for the past two weeks. i
— John G. Love has successfully
passed the rigid examination now re-
quired for admission to practice be-
fore the courts of Pennsylvania and
will be admitted to the bar of Centre
county next week. He will have oflice
room in the law offices of Blanchard
& Blanchard, in Temple Court.
— Arthur Stewart, son of William
Stewart, of Seattle, Wash., was taken
suddenly ill while at Cleveland, Ohio,
last week and on Saturday was
brought to Bellefonte by his uncle,
Dr. Walter Stewart, of Wilkes-Barre,
and will be cared for at the Stewart
home on Linn street until he recovers
his normal health.
— Mis Rebecca Lyon has pur-
chased the double house on How- |
ard street, occupied by F. H. Thomas
and family and L. H. Musser and fam- |
ily, from Mr. W. S. Zeller. The price |
paid, according to report, is $7,200.
Having sold her house in Downing-
town she expects to return to Belle-
fonte to make her home.
Miss Helen Robb will resign
her position in the First National
bank at State College on or about Oc-
tober first to accept a position with
the Bellefonte Trust company when
it occupies its remodeled building. |
Just as soon as they can secure some !
place to live in Bellefonte Miss Robb |
|
and her mother will move to Belle-
fonte and either sell or lease their |
home at State College. !
On Wednesday afternoon Miss |
Grace Stover was walking along |
north Water street on her way to the
depot to take the train for Lewisburg
when she accidentally dropped her
handbag containing her purse over the
high wall into Spring creek a short
distance below the bridge. Naturally
she became somewhat excited but sev- |
eral men volunteered and securing al
long stepladder from the Potter-Hoy |
hardware store rescued the bag.
— Most of our neighboring coun-
ties will have big fairs this fall but
there is only one Scenic in the State
and Bellefonte has it. It is open every
evening and the best motion pictures
obtainable are to be seen there. Man-
ager T. Clayton Brown is not content
to accept the regular circuit program
as his only offerings but gets the lat-
est and best specials as soon as pos-
sible after they are released. If you |
are not a Scenic patron you ought to |
be. |
— About five o'clock on Monday |
afternoon the chimney on the build- |
ing occupied by Harvey Miller’s hard- |
ware store caught fire and prompt
precaution was taken to see that the !
building was not set on fire. Some-
body, however, saw the flames and
smoke and turned in a fire alarm, both |
companies quickly responding. Their |
services, however, were not needed, as |
the fire in the chimney was about out
by the time they got there, and no
damage was done.
Advance tickets for the Mack-
Murray entertainment in the opera
house on Friday evening, August 19th,
can be secured at either Mott's drug
store, Finklestine’s pool room or
Moerschbacher’s pool room and cigar
store. Get your tickets early and have
them reserved as soon as the chart is
put up. Bear in mind the fact that the
play will be given for the benefit of
the Milesburg monument fund and
very amusing vaudeville stunts will
be given between acts.
—__At the annual meeting of the
Retail Merchants’ association of Penn-
sylvania held in Pottstown last week
the first prize of $250 was awarded
to the Millheim Merchants’ associa-
tion for the greatest gain in the sale
of merchandise made from the stand-
point of business done during the past
year, while a prize of $25 was also
awarded the association for being the
fifth in the increase of membership
during the year. Millheim merchants
are to be congratulated upon their
activity as an association.
— Dr. Edith Schad has made all
arrangements to leave Bellefonte on
or about September first and go to
Pittsburgh to make her future home,
expecting to occupy an apartment
with her daughter and husband, Mr.
and Mrs.: Gail Chaney. Mr. Chaney
will come to Bellefonte the latter part
of the month with a big moving van
and assist Dr. Schad in packing and
loading her furniture for transporta-
tion to the Smoky city. She has giv-
on up her lease on her apartment in
Petrikin hall, effective September first,
and while the same has not yet been
definitely rented one or more appli-
cants have first choice at it.
— Last Friday Miss Royer, com-
munity nurse of Bellefonte, and Miss
Shepp, the efficient executive secre-
tary of the Red Cross at State Col-
lege, motored to Harrisburg and took
with them six children as surgical pa-
tients of Dr. Stull, the eminent spe-
cialist who recently visited State Col-
lege in the interest of crippled chil-
dren. The six children taken down
included five from State College, and
Helen Shope, of Howard. Four of the
children simply were measured for
braces while the other two received
hand operations and were kept in Har-
risburg, while the community nurses
and four children returned home on
Saturday. It is the intention of the
nurses to take all crippled children
possible to Dr. Stull whenever he has
opportunity to give his time to them
and the next trip will include several
ehildren from Bellefonte.
BOOTLEGGERS STILL ACTIVE.
Councilman Charges Police with
Guarding Booze and Accepting
Quart in Payment.
For some time past there has been
"a notable lack of harmony between the
burgess, borough council and the
Bellefonte police. Complaint has been
made at almost every meeting of bor-
ough council that the police are not
doing their duty in enforcing the traf-
fic ordinance and in various other
| ways. The police claim that they are
not sustained in their attempts to en-
force the ordinance by the burgess,
who declines to take action when vio-
lations are reported to him, and the
burgess claims the ordinance can not
be enforced because it is not legal in
its requirements, though passed upon
by the borough solicitor. But the cli-
max of complaints was reached at
monday evening’s meeting of council
when one councilman made the charge
that one night last week a truck load
of whiskey came into Bellefonte and a
certain policeman stood guard over
the whiskey and then as payment for
‘his services accepted a quart. The
| same councilman also stated that dur-
. ing the past week or so one of the po-
| licemen made an arrest for violation
| of the traffic ordinance and returned
the case to a Bellefonte justice of the
peace, but that official discharged the
alleged offender and placed the costs
upon the officer. The president of coun-
cil stated that the charge of a police-
man guarding whiskey was a serious
one and, if substantiated, should re-
sult in his immediate dismissal from
| the force, while if an investigation dis-
closed the fact that a policeman had
been soaked with the costs for at-
tempting to enforce any borough or-
dinance borough council should see
that he was reimbursed. Both mat-
ters were referred to the Fire and Po-
lice committee for further investiga-
tion and report at next meeting.
Seven members were present at
Monday night’s meeting. Chief fire
marshall John J. Bower was present
and informed council that 500 feet of
old hose had been repaired and put in
serviceable condition by members of |
the fire companies without any cost to
the borough. He also stated that at
his request the burgess had issued a
proclamation forbidding the parking
of cars or vehicles within fifty feet of
either fire house. Mr. Bower main-
tained that this was necessary in or-
der that no obstructions are in the
way of the firemen in the event of a
fire. The matter was referred to the
Fire and Police committee to work out
a satisfactory solution of the matter
and also as to the placing of “no
parking” signs.
Harvey Miller asked for a rebate on
water tax, as he is charged with facil-
ities he does not have. Referred to
the Water committez.
A written communication was re-
ceived from Arthur C. Dale Esq., re-
garding the surface water at the cor-
ner of Linn and Allegheny streets!
overflowing the pavement and flood-
ing the basement of the Lutheran
shurch as well as the cellars of the
Clement Dale and Mrs. J. L. Mont-
gomery homes. The matter was re-
ferred to the Street committee.
A communication was received from
Mr. and Mrs. E. C. Cooke and Miss
Mollie Snyder requesting permission
to pave the west end of Bishop street
either with brick or concrete, as coun-
cil might decide, and under the direc-
tion of the Street committee. The
matter was referred to the Strest
committee without comment.
The Street committee presented the
report of the borough manager show-
ing various streets repaired and a
number of crossings put down.
The Water committee reported that
the repairs on the pump at the Phoe-
nix station are about completed and
the pump almost ready to put in serv-
ice.
The Fire and Police committee re-
ported that all the hose of both fire
companies are in better shape now
than it has been in years. i
The Finance committee asked for
the renewal of a note for $7,000 for
six months from August 21st, which
was authorized.
It was at this juncture that a cer-
tain councilman made his charge
against the policeman of guarding a
bootlegger’s outfit and accepting a
quart of whiskey in payment.
Bills to the amount of $3527.87
were approved and council adjourned.

Penn State Football Schedule.
The Penn State football schedule for
1921 provides for nine games, five at
home and four away and at this dis-
tance from the opening of the season
it looks like a series of hard games
when the fact is considered that coach
Hugo Bezdek will be compelled to fill
nine positions with new men. But last
year he developed eight new men and
went through the season undefeated,
and his friends have confidence in his
ability to meet the situation this year,
although at the present time the pros-
pect for football material is not as
bright as last year. The schedule of
games is as follows:
September 924 Lebanon Valley at home.
October 1—Gettysburg at home.
October 8—North Carolina State at home.
October 15—(Alumni day). Lehigh at
home.
October
99 Harvard at Cambridge.
October 20—Georgia Tech at New York.
November 5—(Pennsylvania day), Car-
negie Tech at home.
November 12—Navy at Philadelphia.
November 24— (Thanksgiving day), Pitt
at Pittsburgh.
— Dr. John M. Keichline, who
since early in the year has been con-
nected with the Blair Memorial hos-
pital, in Huntingdon, has moved his
family to that place from Petersburg,
their former home.
In our article on the Academy
swimming pool last week we omitted
to mention the fact that it had been
built by headmaster James R. Hughes
as a memorial to his father, the late
Rev. James P. Hughes, who died in
February, 1920, at the age of 92
years. At eighty years of age Rev-
Hughes not only was skillful on the
skates but enjoyed a dip in the ocean,
and hunted wild game on the moun-
tains.
— The remains of Edward DM.
Beightol, killed in action in the Ar-
gonne on September 28th, 1918, and
just recently brought back from
France, were buried at Julian with
military honors on Tuesday afternoon.
The young soldier was born at Julian
and enlisted for service at Altoona,
being a member of Company G, 110th
regiment. The Howard Gardner Post
American Legion of Tyrone had
charge of the funeral.
— George Bordis, aged 34 years,
and his sister, Susie Bordis, aged 21,
of Morgan Run, Rush township, were
brought to Bellefonte on Sunday and
put in the county jail on the charge of
attempting to rob Anthony Moskorch,
secretary-treasurer of the Lithuanian
society at Osceola Mills. The at-
tempted robbery took place on the
highway one night in the fore part of
last week while the treasurer was on
his way home from a lodge mesting.
Seven foreigners from Scotia
who were on their way to Bellefonte
via the Bald Eagle valley last Satur-
| day morning in an automobile, were
i dumped into Bald Eagle creek at the
| Weaver crossing west of Milesburg
| when their car went down over a fif-
teen foot embankment. The men were
running along at a fair speed on the
new concrete road when a small boy
{ with an express wagon shot out from
the side of the road. In order to avoid
hitting him the driver turned sharply
to the right, ran off the road and down
over the embankment. The machine
tunred turtle and dumped the occu-
pants into the creek. None of them
: were seriously injured but the car was
badly wrecked.
——A peculiar fire occurred at the
home of Mr. and Mrs. Robert McMul-
len, on east High street opposite the
jail, shortly after eight o’clock last
Friday evening. Mrs. McMullen, it
appears, used a gasoline mixture dur-
ing the afternoon and evening in
cleaning some clothing. The bulk of
the preparation she threw out but a
small portion of it was dumped into
the kitchen sink. Some time later she
lit the lamp with a piece of paper then
threw the burning paper into the sink.
Almost instantly there was an explo-
sion and the flames from the gasoline
fumes in the sink shot almost to the
ceiling. A fire alarm was sent in but
before the department got on the
! scene the flames had been smothered
i with rugs. The wainscoting, however,
was badly charred and several rugs
! ruined, while Mrs. McMullen had her
| hands badly burned in her efforts to
| smother the flames. Jesse Dunlap,
who lives nearby and ran to Mrs. Me- |
Mullen’s assistance, also had his hands
: slightly burned.

___ On Saturday afternoon Mrs.
CALVIN WETZEL DROWNED.
Sank to His Death While Bathing in
the Surf of Lake Huron.
Word was received in Bellefonte on
Monday announcing the sad fact that
Calvin Wetzel, eldest son of Mr. and
Mrs. L. C. Wetzel, of Windsor, Cana-
da, had been drowned at Great Bend,
Ontario, on Sunday while bathing in
the surf of Lake Huron. Up to the
time this article was written the body
had not been recovered.
The Wetzel family is originally
from Bellefonte, Mr. Wetzel being a
son of the late Mr. and Mrs. John
Wetzel, while Mrs. Wetzel is a daugh-
ter of C. T. Gerberich, of Bellefonte.
For a number of years they made
their home in Toledo, Ohio, but sev-
eral years ago Mr. Wetzel was sent
to Windsor, Canada, as manager of
the Canadian branch of the Toledo
Computing Scale company. During
the latter part of last week Mr. and
friends and Calvin joined a camping
party at Great Bend. A number of
the party went bathing and among
them was Mr. Wetzel. The latter’s
disappearance was finally noticed by
the other bathers and when they learn-
ed that he had not gone ashore every
body, but without avail. The parents
were promptly notified at Toledo,
Ohio, of the sad catastrophe and as
the body have proven futile.
Calvin Wetzel was born in Belle-
fonte on April 7th, 1898, hence was 23
years, 4 months and 7 days old. He
| graduated at the University of Mich-
igan last June and since then had been
working in the scale plant at Windsor,
Canada, of which his father is man-
ager. In addition to his parents he is
survived by two brothers, Malcolm
jand Samuel.
{ ready been made to bring the body to
| Bellefonte for burial as soon as it is
recovered.
‘John L. Knisely to be Postmaster of
| Bellefonte.
True to the prediction made by this
paper several months ago John L.
| Knisely has been recommended for
| postmaster at Bellefonte.
Among the applicants for the posi-
i tion at first were H. W. Irwin, secre-
tary of the Republican county com-
mittee, who withdrew soon after an-
| nouncing that he would be an appli-
icant; G. W. Rees, a former assistant
postmaster; Charles E. Gates, Geo. T.
| Bush and Morton Smith, W. S. Cham-
{pers and Millard Hartswick, the latter
{ three all now in service in the office.

| Of these applicants all took the civil

| We have not been able to learn the
{ yasult of the examination, but a month
ago told you that no matter what the

{ Knisely would be recommended be-

ed on a drive out the state highway i oness to at least undertake to give

beyond the Titan Metal company
plant they met an automobile coming
this way and Mrs. Knoff turned out to
allow it to pass. She got over the
curb and in turning to get back on
the roadway broke the right front
wheel with the result that their car

ed turtle, landing upside down with
Mrs. Knoff and Mr. Meyer underneath.
The latter was able to crawl out un-
assisted and then lifted the car suf-

out. While she sustained no broken
bones she was badly cut on the right
side of the face and sustained an in-
jury to her right arm. She was taken
to the hospital where it required fif-
teen stitches to close the cuts in her
face. She was able, however, to be
removed to her home in the McClain
block on Tuesday. In the meantime
the car is being repaired and put in
readiness for service again.

A Giant Puff Ball.
—
Luther Smith, who occupies the
old Alexander farm above Sunnyside,
brought to this office on Wednesday
morning an immense fungus growth
which he found under one of his plum
trees. The fungus weighed a little
over six pounds and was bigger than
| the old-fashioned loaf of bread our
mothers used to make.
| It was what is known to science as
| calvatia gigantea, or giant puff ball,
| and when not too old is edible and
| among the most delicious of the mush-
room family.
Potato Blight is Here.
; Several potato fields in Centre coun-
| ty have already gone down completely
| with late blight. If present weather
| conditions continue it will probably be
| as serious as last year. County agent
! J. N. Robinson says that the men who
| have been spraying thoroughly need
! not worry. However, he suggests that
| they start in shortening the interval
| between sprays, thus spraying every
ten days for the remainder of the sea-
| son instead of every two weeks, as is
| ordinarily recommended for the ordi-
nary season.

Montgomery — O'Connell. — An-
marriage on February 4th, 1920, of W.
Hassell Montgomery, of Bellefonte,
‘and Miss Gertrude O’Connell, of Lew-
iston, Maine. The wedding took place
in New York city. The bride is quite
well known in Bellefonte, having spent
several seasons here as head trimmer
in the millinery department of Katz's
firm of Montgomery & Co. Their big
reason for keeping their marriage a
secret so long was their inability to
secure a suitable home in Bellefonte,
but Mrs. Montgomery will come to
Bellefonte early in September and
they will take rooms at the Brocker-
hoff house for the present.
Grove—Beezer.—At noon on Tues-
day Earl B. Grove, son of Michael
Grove, of Bellefonte, and Miss Flor-
ence Beezer, daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
George W. Beezer, also of Bellefonte,
were married atthe parochial resi-
dence on Bishop street by Rev. Father
Downes. They left the same after-
“I noon on the Pennsylvania-Lehigh fly-
er on a wedding trip to Canada. After |
September first they will be at home
at the residence of the bride’s parents.

ing and industrious young man.
