KILLED IN AUTO ACCIDENT.
D. L. Dennis Met Death Sunday Night
on Way Home from Church.
David L. Dennis, the oldest and one
of the best known residents of Fergu-
son township, was run down and in-
stantly killed. by an automobile at
eight o’clock on Sunday evening while
on his way home from church; his
body being dragged almost to the door
of his own home. As was his unfail-
ing custom he attended services at the
Lutheran church and it just happened
when the services were over that the
street lights were out and it was quite
dark. Mr. Dennis started to walk di-
agonally across the street from the
church to his home and was watching
two cars pass each other in front of
him when he was hit by a car from the
rear. He was knocked down and
dragged about fifty feet, to almost
opposite his own home, and passers-
by who saw the accident were just
able to get his badly mangled body oft
the street in time to prevent it being
run over by another machine. The
driver of the machine that hit Mr.
Dennis did not stop and in the ex-
citement and darkness no one was
able to get the number of his tags, sc
it will be a difficult matter to find out
who he was. It is known, however,
that it was a Paige car and was occu-
pied by two men, as they had stopped
at a garage about five hundred feet
from where the accident happened to
get gas. They gave a ten dollar bill
in payment and told the man to keep
the change. In fact their actions were
so suspicious that they left the im-.
pression that they were either driv-
ing a stolen car, or else were booze
runners. The only thing to their cred-
it is the fact that they tried to avoid
hitting Mr. Dennis, even to crowding
another car into the ditch, but they
were going too fast to stop and after
the accident got away as rapidly as
possible. Just how badly their car was
damaged is not known, but one head-
light was smashed as the glass was
found on the street. Wray Reed and
Miss Etta Keller were eye witnesses
of the tragedy but it all happened so
quickly that they could do nothing to
avert it.
David Love Dennis was a son of
John and Susan Bloom Dennis, early
settlers of Potter township, where he
was born on September 13th, 1838,
hence was within ten days of being
eighty-four years old. When he was
quite young his parents moved to the
old Pine Grove furnace, south of Pine
Grove Mills and in 1847 the elder Den-
nis built the well known home on east
Main street which has been in the
family ever since. When David grew
to manhood he engaged in farming,
an occupation he followed until after
the death of his wife in 1911 when he
quit the farm and moved into the fam-
ily home in Pine Grove Mills. He was
a great reader and had been a sub-
seriber of the “Watchman” for sixty-
two years. He was possessed of a
wonderfully retentive memory and
could discuss many topics in a most
interesting manner.
He was the oldest member of the
Lutheran church at Pine Grove Mills,
his name being on the church roll for
seventy-four years. For many years
he filled the office of elder and was a
member of the church council, taking
an active part in all church affairs.
His uncle, Samuel Dennis, organized
the first Sunday school at Pine Hall
in the year 1840. Politically he was a
staunch Democrat, of the Andrew
Jackson type, and during his active
life filled various township offices.
He married Miss Eliza Bloom and
their two children, Catharine and
Charles, died in youth, so that he is
the last of the family to go and the
name dies with him. Funeral services
were held at his late home at two
o'clock on Wednesday afternoon by his
pastor, Rev. English, after which bur-
ial was made in the new cemetery at
Pine Grove Mills.

— The Bellefonte public schools
opened on Tuesday with an attendance
of 903, which is 28 more than at the
opening last year. The increase is
mainly in the High school, the Fresh-
man class this year numbering 116,
which is just 26 more than the largest
number of Freshmen ever entered
heretofore. After being in session
two days the schools were closed yes-
terday to permit any of the scholars
who cared to do so to attend the
Granger's picnic at Centre Hall.

— Rudolph Valeria, nineteen years
old, employed in Imperial mine No. 4,

arn.

— Announcements were receive
in Bellefonte this week of the birth of
Zane Gray Brandenstein, the first
child born to Mr. and Mrs. E. W.
Brandenstein, of Schenectady, N. Y.
Mrs. Brandenstein, before her mar-
riage, was Miss Isabelle Goheen, of
State College.
——A report received in Bellefonte
early in the week stated that five
young women had walked away from
the girls’ home at Muncy, and that
among the number were the Misses
Parks, of Bellefonte. Later reports,
however, stated that none of the girls
were from Centre county.

—— Labor day on Monday was pret-
ty generally observed in Bellefonte.
All the stores were closed with the ex-
ception of meat markets and baker-
ies, which were open in the morning.
Even the members of Bellefonte bor-
ough council observed the day, as only
two reported for the regular meeting
on Monday evening and as that num-
ber did not constitute a quorum no
meeting was held.
— The terrific. downpour of rain
on Monday morning naturally damp-
ened the ardor of the public generally,
and the result was the American Le-
gion picnic at Hecla park was not as
largely attended as it probably would
have been had the morning been fair.
After the morning’s rain, however, the
day was clear and warm. A fair
crowd was in attendance at the base-
ball game in the afternoon between
Howard and Millheim, the former
winning by the close score of 2 to 1.
The dance in the evening was well at-
tended, but the day in its entirety did
not result in big financial returns for
the Legion boys. Their net receipts
will probably be less than two hun-
dred dollars.
McQuistion Home Purchased for Mrs.
Shoemaker.
The old and well known McQuistion
home on west High street was sold
last week and will become the future
home of Mrs. Thomas A. Shoemaker
and family. The purchase was made
by Col. James A. McClain, cashier of
the First National bank, of Spangler,
who represented the purchasers. The
price paid was $7,000, and possession
will be given by the 19th of Septem-
ber when Miss Mary McQuistion, the
only survivor of the family, will move
into her house on the corner of High
and Thomas streets, which has been
entirely done over on the inside.
Traveling Dental Clinic from State
Health Department.
As announced two weeks ago, the
dental car, under direction of Dr. C.J.
Hollister, of the State Health Depart-
ment, will come into Centre county on
September eighteenth, operating the
first week in Bellefonte, the second
week in Philipsburg, and the last week
in State College. After these three
weeks of demonstrations by Dr. Hol-
lister and his assistants, Miss Grace
Kelsey, who has been demonstrating
with the car for several years, will re-
main as dental hygienist, devoting
two months to the school children in
Bellefonte, two months to State Col-
lege, and two to Philipsburg.
While the work of Dr. Hollister is
corrective, the work of the hygienist
is entirely prophylactic—cleaning the
children’s teeth; in short, preparing
them for the dentist. Every one is
invited to attend the demonstrations
to be conducted in the High school
building during the week, beginning
September eighteenth. It is a privi-
lege to have Dr. Hollister bring the
dental car into our county and do not
let slip this opportunity to learn its
function as well as the work of the
dental hygienist.
Six Children Buried Under Wrecked
Car.
On Monday night Dr. W. U. Irwin
had a call to go to Unionville to see a
patient and it was well after twelve
o’clock when he started home. At the
sharp curve in the road this side of
the Alexander farm he saw a machine
coming, westbound, and pulled off to
one side of the road to allow the man
to pass. The driver, however, swung
wide in making the turn and side-
swiped the doctor’s car with such force
that his own car turned turtle and
landed with the wheels in the air. In
some way the driver got free of the
car and called to Dr. Irwin to come to
his assistance as his six children were
under the wrecked car. Of course the
doctor went to his rescue and the two
men were able to raise the car suffi-
cient to permit the children to
crawl out; and the remarkable part of
it was that aside from a few slight
cuts and scratches none of them were
seriously hurt.
The driver of the car proved to be
C. A. Weaver, of Port Matilda, who,
with his children, had been at the
American Legion picnic at Hecla and
were on their way home. He explain-
ed the accident by stating that owing
to the lateness of the hour he didn’t
expect to meet any one on the road
and probably was not as careful as he
should have been. Of course he offer-
ed to pay for the damage to the doc-
tor’s car, but strange as it may seem,
neither of the cars were greatly dam-
aged.
every
Many Children Attend Closing Exer-
cises on Playgrounds.
Over three hundred and fify chil-
dren, with their parents and friends,
attended the closing exercises on the
playgrounds at the High school build-
ing last Friday afternoon. The exer-
cises, which lasted from 2:30 to 6
o’clock, began with the flag raising
and singing led by Mrs. Krader. Fol-
lowing this came the finals in hand
tennis and other sports as well as the
boys baseball game. The games were
directed by Mrs. Krader while the as-
sistants had charge of the various rec-
reation apparatus, such as swings,
sliding boards, ete., and they were all
used to the limit of capacity.
An exhibition of the articles made
by the children during the industrial
class periods was arranged in the hall
of the school building and attracted
much attention. In the exhibit were
baskets of various kinds and shapes,
raffia mats, trays, paper novelties,
needle work, woven watch fobs and
putty designs, all of which showed
considerable skill on the part of the
children. This work during the play-
ground season was under the direc-
tion of Mrs, Krader.
There is no question but that the
playgrounds were a success this sum-
mer—their first season. It has been
most gratifying to the workers, and
supporters to have such hearty co-op-
eration on the part of the children,
who have responded most nobly to the
rules of training and fair play. Of
the hundreds of children using the
grounds all have proved faithful to
the trust imposed in them in the use
of the playgrounds property. In
checking up the articles at the close
of the season the fact developed that
not a single article was lost or de-
stroyed. Balls, bats, pails, pegs and
toss rings were all accounted for.
Some of them were considerably the
worse for wear and will have to be re-
placed for next year, but none were
taken or lost.
The management of the play-
grounds association is indebted to
donor who made the play-
grounds possible, to the school board
for the use of the school grounds, and
to the faithful corps of volunteer
workers who stuck to their posts so
untiringly during the entire season.
It is also gratifying to know that not
one major accident happened on the
grounds, due largely to the care being
taken to practice “safety first.”
The children were surprised at the
treat of ice cream cones and peanuts
given them at the close of the exer-
cises last Friday. Just four hundred
cones were given away. Winners in
the various races and contests were
presented with ribbons as a trophy of
honors won. The various contests and
winners were as follows:
75 yard dash for boys.—Won by James
Haupt; second, James Potter; third, John
+ Spangler.
50 yard dash for small boys.—Won by
Joe Thompson; second, Frank Sasserman;

“The Musical Teas.
“Music exalts each joy, allays each
grief, expels disease, softens every
pain”—there is, then, no incongruity

“benefit,” all toward one end, ulti-
mately.

to be some sweet singers in Bellefonte,

ized Bellefonte Music Club will pre-
