David Wesley Jones Dies from Inju-
ries Sustained in Fall.
David Wesley Jones, for many years
a resident of Bellefonte, died at the
Cottage State hospital, Philipsburg,
at one o'clock on Monday morning
from injuries believed to have been
sustained in a fall from a third story
window in the Potter house. Mr.
Jones was an expert carpenter and
had worked in Philipsburg the past
two or three years.
gaged in remodeling the old Potter
house annex, which had been purchas-
ed by the Philipsburg Lodge of Moose
and was being put in shape for their
occupancy. Mr. Jones occupied a
room on the third fioor of the Potter
house and just how he met his inju-
ries will probably never be known. He
was found in the court of that hotel
between three and four o'clock on
Friday morning, and as he was ly-
ing almost directly beneath the win- |
dow in his room it is presumed that he
either fell out or was pushed out by ;
some one. He was taken to the Cot-
tage State hospital where it was found
that his left shoulder and chest were
crushed, most of the ribs in his left
side fractured and his lung punctur- |
ed.
ness he was unable to tell anything.
about the accident.
Mr. Jones was a son of J. B. and
Elizabeth Jones and was born at
Milesburg May 7th, 1861, hence was
60 years, 4 months and 5 days old.
When a young man he learned the car-
penter trade and followed that occu-

In his brief spells of conscious- !
for over thirty years proprietor of the
Bush house in this place, passed away
at his home on east Linn street at 9:30
o'clock last Thursday night. Mr. Dag-
gett had been a sufferer with kidney
trouble for a year or more which final-
ly affected his heart, causing his
death.
He was a son of Lewis and Saman-
tha Daggett and was born at Tioga,
Tioga county, on April 26th, 1854,
making his age 67 years, 4 months
and 13 days. He grew to manhood in
the town of his nativity and when he
reached man’s estate followed in the
footsteps of his father by engaging in
the hotel business. Before coming to
Bellefonte he conducted the Daggett
house at Lawrenceville, Tioga county,
and was quite successful. In March,
1890, he and W. A. Elliott came to
Bellefonte and took charge of the
Bush house under the firm name of
Daggett & Elliott, succeeding W. R.
Teller. The partnership was of short
duration as Mr. Daggett purchased
- Mr. Elliott's interest within a year and |
. ease their pain and lighten the burden
up until a few months ago had been
sole proprietor.
During the thirty years that he was
in-charge of the Bush house that hotel
has enjoyed a reputation second to
‘none among the hotels in the smaller
towns of the State, and because of
that fact it has always had a large pa-
tronage. While the location of the ho-
tel so close to the railroad depot is
‘undoubtedly in its favor it could not
have commanded and steadily held its
‘large clientelle had it not been for the
| pleasing personality of the man in
! charge.
Outside of his hotel Mr. Daggett
was always interested in the progress
of the town and entered heartily into
any movement that promised improve-
ment in Bellefonte. He was a member

Big Dramatic- Event at Altoona.
Guy Bates Post and his excellent
company are this season appearing in
“The Masquerader,” one of the few
really worth while plays of the de-
cade. The unusual company—the
original New York one by the way—
with its wealth of scenery, electrical
effects and novel revolving stages.
This well known representative ac-
tor has never had a better vehicle
than this. His manager, Mr. Richard
Walton Tully, has gone to absolute
extremes in providing a production
both ponderous and unique. Two
crews of mechanics are carried by the
company to insure proper stage ef-
fects. The management of the Mish-
ler theatre is giving special attention
to out of town patrons in order that
automobile and excursion parties may
have seats reserved with as much care
as though the purchaser were at the
ticket office window.
Mr. Post has played “The Masquer-
ader” in Australia and Europe, where
he scored one of the greatest hits
ever made by an American actor.
The story is of two men, John Chil-
cote and John Loder. The first is a
man born to wealth, society and polit-
ical leadership. Unfortunately drugs
have secured a hold on him, and when
the craving comes he is restive under
the need for caring for his many im-
. portant interests.
While Chilcote is in one of these re-
sentful moods he encounters John Lo-
der. Loder is, in every respect his
double, except that he has a noticea-
ble scar on one of his fingers. Loder
. is a man well read, well traveled and
ambitious to take a place among the
leaders of his race.
Chilcote, in the frenzy of morphia,
" seeks out Loder and proposes that
they exchange places. Loder refuses.
Chilcote collapses and his man Brock
pleads with Loder to represent him as
the speaker on an important issue in
. parliament that night. Lured by the
opportunity Loder consents and car-
ried away by the cause for which he
pleads scores a national sensation.
To All Voters in Bellefonte.
In another column of this paper Mr.
J. Kennedy Johnston makes the state-
ment that, if elected burgess of Belle-
fonte, he will do all in his power to
enforce the Volstead Act.
Every one who wishes to put an end
to the shameful violation of this basic
law of our country should stand back
of Mr. Johnston, by first electing him
and then helping him in this work.
Patriotism is loyalty to our govern-
ment in time of peace as well as war.

KING.—Mrs. Mary E. King, wife of
i Thomas King, passed away at her
home at Valley View at three o’clock
asf Saturday morning as the result
of a stroke of apoplexy. She had been
in apparently good health right along
and did her housework as usual on
Friday. About half-past six o’clock
that evening she was stricken with
apoplexy and never regained con-
sciousness, passing away at the hour
above stated.
She was a daughter of Felix and
Rebecca Fogleman and was born in
Spring township about forty-six years
ago. Practically all her married life
“had been spent at Valley View. In ad-
dition to her husband she is survived
by the following children: Mrs. Bes-
sic Eckley, George and Edward King,
Mrs. Marjorie Rote and Mrs. Dorothy
‘Rider, all of Valley View; Marie,
. William, Albert, Edith and Garline, at

!and sisters: Mrs. Fannie Shuey, of
, Lemont; Mrs. R. W. Osman, of Belle-
fonte; Mrs. William Sproul, of Mingo-
! ville; Miss Verna Fogleman and Sam-
(uel, of Freeport, Ill; John, of Pleas-
ant Gap; William, of Montgomery, Pa.,
“and Charles, of Lemont.
| She was a member of the United
| Brethren church and her pastor had
' charge of the funeral services which
! were held at ten o'clock on Tuesday
‘morning, burial being made in the
| Meyers cemetery.

| MURRAY.—Thomas W. Murray,
{the well known retired section fore-
iman on the Bald Eagle Valley rail-
| road, passed away on Tuesday even-
‘ing following a lingering illness. He
| was born in Path valley, Franklin
| counity, oft July 2nd, 1847, making his
| age 74 years, 2 months and 11 days.
{ He came to Centre county when only
‘a boy and in 1864 became a track la-
| borer on the Bald Eagle Valley rail-
road. He was promoted to foreman
in 1871, a position he held until 1917,
when he was placed on the retired
list.
His wife died ten years ago but sur-
viving him are the following children:
| Mrs. Harry J. Parks, of Lewistown;
Clinton G. Murray, of Altoona; Mrs.
ll
A. J. Ling, of Altoona, and P. Gray
Murray, of Wingate. He also leaves
three sisters, Misses Melissa and Re-
becca Murray, of Altoona, and Mrs.
R. C. Fetzer, who made her home with
her brother. Funeral services will be
held at his late home at 1:30 o’clock
this afternoon, burial to be made in
the Advent cemetery.

DUNKLE.—George Frederick, six
month’s old son of Mr. and Mrs. Wil-
liam Dunkle, of State College, died on
Monday evening after a brief illness
with bronchial trouble. In addition
to the parents one brother, William,
survives. Rev. Walls had charge of the
funeral services which were held at
9 o'clock on Wednesday morning, bur-
ial being made in the Branch ceme-
tery.
C. W. Hipple, of Port Treverton; Mrs.
BELL.—Mrs. Priscilla Bell, one of :
the oldest women in Bellefonte, passed
away about eleven o’clock yesterday
morning at her home on High street
opposite the court house. She had
been in declining health the past year
or more and had been confined to bed
for eight weeks.
She was a daughter of Jesse and
Mary Furey Hall and was born in a
house where the Presbyterian chapel
now stands on Spring street, Belle-
fonte, on November 6th, 1833, hence
was almost eigthy-eight years old.
Her entire life was spent in Bellefonte
with the exception of several years she
and her husband lived in Altoona. A
member of one of the old historic fam-
ilies of the town she naturally inher-
ited the sturdy principles and upright
character of her forbears and was a
most remarkable woman in every re-
spect. In fact she was one of those
good old motherly souls who was al-
ways thinking more of others than of
themselves. If anybody was sick and
in trouble Mrs. Bell was the first to be
at their side, doing what she could to
of illness.
To show the confidence imposed in
her by those who knew ler hest the
following incident may be told: Dur-
ing the war the First National bank
of Bellefonte wished to send a con-
signment of gold to Philadelphia and
as there were no quick facilities those
days as now, they asked Mr. George
Tate to take it with him on a trip he
intended making. He refused because
of the risk attached. Hearing that
Mrs. Bell, or Miss Hall as she was
then, was to accompany her brother-
in-law, Mr. Tate, they packed the gold
in a besket and without telling her
what was in it, asked her to take the
basket and deliver it to a certain man
in Philadelphia. She executed the
mission with faithfulness and fidel-
ity and it was only after the basket
had been delivered that she learned of
its contents. Many incidents might
be told of her exemplary life, but it
was only her intimate friends who re-
alized her true worth.
When a girl she joined the Metho-
dist church under the pastorate of Rev.
McMurray and always lived a true,
christian life. She was the last to go
of a family of six children. In Feb-
ruary, 1869, she married S. A. Bell
and he passed away in 1909, and as
she never had any children she leaves
no immediate survivors. Her death,
however, is sincerely mourned by her
niece, Miss Alice Tate, who, as a child,
was taken into the Bell family and
raised and cared for as their own. But
she faithfully repaid the debt, as she
remained with Mrs. Bell up to her
death and no daughter could have been
more considerate than Miss Tate has
been in her care of the aged woman
during her frailty and last illness. No
arrangements for the funeral had been
made up to the time the “Watchman”
went to press.
i i
SAYERS.—Mrs. Jane C. Sayers,
widow of Charles R. Sayers, died at
her home at Jacksonville on Septem-
ber 2nd of valvular heart trouble. She
was a daughter of William and Jane
Watkins Long and was born in Mar-
ion township on February 3rd, 1835,
hence had® reached the advanced age
of 86 years, 6 months and 29 days.
Practically all her life was spent in the
vicinity of Jacksonville. Her husband
died many years ago but surviving her
are the following children: Mrs.
Elizabeth Mann, of Niagara Falls;
Mrs. J. Walter Singer, of Youngstown,
Ohio; Mrs. Newton King, of Scottdale;
William Sayers, of Howard, and Mrs.
Frank Weight, of Jacksonville. She
also leaves one sister and a brother,
Mrs. Henry Armagast, of Fillmore,
and Daniel Long, of Jacksonville. She
was a life-long member of the Pres-
byterian church and Rev. W. L. Lyle
had charge of ‘the - funeral services
which ‘were held on Sunday afternoon,
September 4th, burial being made in
the Presbyterian cemetery at Jackson-
ville. © :

BETZ.—Gabriel Betz died on Tues-
day evening at the home of his daugh-
ter, Mrs. W. N. Weaver, at Jackson-
ville, of general debility. He was a
native of Ohio and was 83 years, 11
months and 16 days old. Most of his
life was spent in the vicinity of Jack-
sonville. Surviving him are two chil-
dren, M. S. Betz and Mrs. Weaver,
both of Jacksonville. He also leaves
three brothers and one sister. Mr.
Betz saw four years of service dur-
ing the Civil war. Burial will be
made at Jacksonville this morning.

McCURDY.—Corp. John 8S. McCur-
dy, one of the few survivors of the old
45th regiment, which served with
such valor during the Civil war, died
at his home in Altoona on Tuesday

under Gen. John I. Curtin and was in
many of the battles of the Virginia
campaign.

Bellefonte Public Schools Crowded
Beyond Capacity.
The Bellefonte public shools open-
ed on Monday with the largest num-
ber of pupils ever enrolled. In fact
some of the schools are so crowded
that supervising principal Arthur H.
Sloop is almost at his wit’s end to
know what to do with them. In the
High school 278 pupils are registered,
which is twenty more than last year
when the number was 258. The var-
ious grades show a registration of
597 against 554 last year. The high-
est number in any one grade is 65
with 19 the lowest, while the average
is about 43.
In order to handle the pupils prop-
erly and give all of them the advan-
tages to which they are entitled it will
be necessary to rearrange the schools,
and the school board held a special
session on Wednesday afternoon to
decide the matter. In rearranging the
schools it will be necessary to trans-
fer some of the pupils from one build-
ing to the other, but in doing so it will
simply be for the best interests of the
pupils themselves. While there is no
reason why parents or patrons of the
schools should find any fault with this
arrangement, there doubtless will be
some who may attempt to interpose
objections to thei. children being
transferred, and it is for their especial
benefit that the above facts are given.
It is not fair to the school authorities,
the teachers and the pupils themselves
that some schools should be over-
crowded, and in rearranging the
grades the school board is doing the
only thing that can be done.

——The Bellefonte Academy opened
on Wednesday with close to one hun-
dred boarding students. When the up-
per portion of the Academy building
burned off early in June things look-
ed a little gloomy for that institution,
but Mr. James R. Hughes, headmaster,
succeeded in having the building re-
paired and every room in shape to re-
ceive students, and the fact that the
Academy is now filled almost to its
capacity is very gratifying to him, as
well as the people of Bellefonte.

Another Hallowe’en Carnival to be
Held.
The people of Bellefonte and Centre
county will be interested in learning
that another big carnival will be held
in Bellefonte on Hallowe'en, which
this year will fall on Monday evening,
October 31st. The Bellefonte Lodge
of Elks have decided to take charge of
the event, as they did last year, and
a meeting will be held some evening
next week to make the preliminary
arrangements, appoint committees,
ete. Public notice of the carnival is
being made at this early date to give
everybody ample time to plan their
costumes. Everybody in the sur-
rounding towns and country districts
are invited to join in the big time.
The greater the number taking part
the bigger the time and the more fun
there will be. Bigger prizes and more
of them will be awarded this year
than last. Watch for future an-
nouncements.
An Earnest Appeal to the Voters of
! Bellefonte.
I am a candidate for the office of
Tax Collector in Bellefonte borough.
If elected to this important position I
will devote my entire time and atten-
tion to the duties of the office and will
not combine any other occupation or
employment with it.
I wish to emphasize the fact that 1
am a candidate for this office for my-
self alone and have placed my name
before the voters of this borough with
an honest purpose and a determination
to expend every effort possible on my
part to have my campaign crowned
with a successful termination.
My special training and wide exper-
ience along lines of work most espe-
cially designed to fit me for the po-
sition to which I aspire and eminently
qualify me to meet the requirements
and responsibilities of the office.
Under the conditions now existing
the volume of business in the Tax Col-
lector’s office has practically doubled
and consequently it requires especial
training and ability tc conduct the af-
fairs of the office successfully. I
therefore ask you to consider the
qualifications requisite for the proper
and efficient administration of this of-
fice.
Your vote and influence will be mest
acceptable and I ask you for them
with the above statements as a pledge
of my sincerity.

Planting Trees
Some months ago the “Watchman”
told of a proposition being considered
by the Woman’s clubs of Bellefonte
and Lock Haven looking to the plant-
ing of trees along the state highway
between Lock Haven and Bellefonte
in honor of the young men from Clin-
ton and Centre counties who made the
supreme sacrifice during the world
war.
While nothing definite has been done
by the Woman's club_of Bellefonte the
women of Lock Haven have been quite
active and have the proposition so far
under way that they hope to see the
trees planted this fall. At first there
was some doubt as to the advisability
of planting them along the highway
on account of the telephone lines and
property owners were asked for per-
mission to plant the trees on private
land. But J. W. Keller, chief of the
bureau of silviculture of the Depart-
ment of Forestry, urges the planting
of the trees along the state highway,
as the matter has been taken up with
the telephone companies and they have
been informed that their wires must
not injure the trees.
The Lock Haven women estimate
that the cost of securing and planting
the trees will be about $2.50 per tree
and they are making an appeal to the
churches which have gold stars on
pense. The Clinton county commis-
sioners have also agreed to help, in
accordance with an act passed by the
last Legislature. Clinton county has
sixty-three heroes on its list of dead,
which would mean the planting of
that many trees.
Now that they have gone ahead
with the work down there it is possi-
ble that the women of Bellefonte will
get busy. The list of hero dead from
Centre county is about the same as
that in Clinton county, and the ex-
pense would be practically the same.
One Thousand New Students at State
College.
When the final registration of stu-
dents was completed at the opening of
State College .on Wednesday morning
it showed a total of three thousand in
attendance with a few over one thous-
and new students enrolled. But at
that upwards of one thousand appli-
cants for admission had to be refused
for lack of facilities to handle them.
In his opening address to the students
Dr. John W. Thomas, the new presi-
dent of the College, declared that the
stage seems to be set for an advance
movement which will place The Penn-
sylvania State College in the forefront
of the American institutions of high-
er learning. He commended the col-
lege spirit and urged the members of
the Freshman class to enter heartily
into this spirit and not try to prove
that they are men by the small-boy
method of doing something bad. Dr.
W. G. Chambers, the new dean of the
summer: session and educational ex-
tension, was on the platform and was
{ introduced to the student body. Judge
H. Walton Mitchell, president of the
board of trustees, also made a brief
talk.

J Attention, Voters!
To the Voters of Bellefonte Borough.
As a candidate for the office of Bur-
gess, I respectfully submit my views
i for your consideration and support.
The burgess is the executive officer
in the borough, and it is his sworn du-
ty to enforce the laws and ordinances;
he directs the police in the discharge
of their duties, and can call upon any
officer, and on our courts to assist in
the punishment of law violators.
If elected burgess I shall to the best
of my ability use the power of said
office and my personal influence, for
the reasonable enforcement of our
laws, the suppression of crime and
conviction of wilful violators.
I believe in a reasonable enforce-
ment of the Sunday laws, but as to the
uncalled for, misleading and false
statement of my opponents that I
shall stop Sunday trains, newspapers,
automobiles, supply stations, delivery
of milk, ice when needed, restaurants
and other legitimate accommodations
for the entertainment of our people
and travelers, I wish it to be under-
stood that such shall not be the case,
for when elected I shall desire our
people to be considerate of the com-
fort and pleasure of those who may
come into our midst.
Likewise, I desire it to be distinctly
understood that for the protection of
the men, women and children of our
town, I shall enforce the automobile
laws, and especially the Volstead Act.
Respectfully submitted,
J. KENNEDY JOHNSTON.

Who Has the Cornet?
On the evening that Wetzler’s band
played the concert in the Diamond
here a $75.00 cornet disappeared and
has not yet been returned.
The band was here to play for the
performance which was being given
in the opera house for the benefit of
the soldiers’ monument at Milesburg.
One of the little girls left the cornet
standing beside the monument for one
of the men members to put with the
instruments. Howard Neff went for
it and it was gone. Some persons
standing there saw a man pick it up
and carry it over to the Garman hotel
and so reported, but when called for
at the hotel Howard Neff was told
that some one had called previously
and gotten it.
The fact is that the cornet is gone
and the person who has it probably
thinks he is in a valuable instrument,
but he isn’t, for a good enough trail
has been left to follow it up and un-
less it is returned at once proceedings
are going to be started that will make
the party whe - is holding it try = to
