UNVEILING OF MONUMENT.
Milesburg’s Big Celebration will be
Held October 15th, 20th and 21st.
Plans are fast maturing for the big
home-coming and unveiling of the
soldier’s monument at Milesburg
which will be held on Thursday, Fri-
day and Saturday, October 19th, 20th
and 21st. While the complete pro-
gram has not yet been made up Fri-
day will be the big day. On that date
the mounment to the soldiers of Miles-
burg and Boggs township who served
in recent wars will be dedicated with
elaborate ceremonies. While several
prominent men have signified their in-
tention of being present the speaker
for the occasion has not yet been se-
lected.
The ceremonies, however, will in-
clude a big parade composed of five
units of cavalry of the National Guard
of Pennsylvania, American Legion
posts and ex-service men, a number of
bands, the rehab students and cadets,
of State College, civic organizations
and school children. Immediately
following the parade the monument
will be unveiled and dedicated.
The tablets bearing the names of
the soldiers were received last Fri-
day and have been placed in position
on the monument. That same evening
the committee of arrangements se-
lected the dates for the dedication.
Inasmuch as the dates for the big
time are only two weeks away the
committee is working hard to get
everything in shape for that time and
is being assisted by John B. Payne,
commander of the Brooks-Doll post of
the American Legion. Ex-service
men everywhere are asked to report
at Milesburg on that occasion.
Steve Zimmerman Acquitted.
Considerable interest centered
around the trial last week of Steve
Zimmerman for causing the death of
Joe Surovice, at Clarence. The trial
took up all of Thursday, the jury re-
tiring at five o'clock. It was almost
midnight when they reached a ver-
dict, which was sealed and returned at
the opening of court on Friday morn-
ing. The verdict of acquittal seemed
to meet with the approval of the ma-
jority of those who heard the trial.
Zimmerman, according to the evi-
dence, was a member of the miner’s
union and had gone out on a strike
with the other miners. He has a wife
and eight children to support and lat-
er when he got an opportunity to go
to work he took it. This, he alleged
in his testimony, which was corrobo-
rated by other witnesses, resulted in
considerable feeling against him. In
the fight which resulted in the killing
of Surovice on May 18th, Zimmerman
testified that he had been attacked by
two men whom he had disposed of
when Suroviee came up in a threat-
ening attitude and believing he, too,
was going to attack him struck him
with the iron bar; not with the inten-
tion of killing him but as a means of
self-defense. Surovice’s skull was
fractured and he died as the result of
his injuries.
le
Rally Day in St. John’s Lutheran
Church.
Annual Rally day will be observed
in St. John’s Lutheran church with a
series of splendid services, featured
with addresses by S. S. Aplin, secre-
tary of the Y. M. C. A., and Dr. John
I. Woodruff, of Susquehanna Univer-
sity.
At the 9:30 a. m. Sunday school
hour, special music will be rendered by
the orchestra, the school and the pri-
mary department. Mr. Aplin will
speak on the subject, “What Does the
Sunday School Mean to You?” At
10:45 a. m. Dr. J. I. Woodruff, dean of
the department of English at Sus-
quehanna University, will speak on
“The Challenge of the Sunday
School.” Dr. Woodruff is an educator,
lecturer, orator, and ex-member of
the State Legislature. At the 7:30 ves-
per service Dr. Woodruff will preach
the sermon. Visitors will be welcome
at any or all of these meetings.
Music Club Notes.
The total receipts from the three
musical teas given by the Bellefonte
music study club were $88.90. Of
this amount $60.00 will be given to
the Bellefonte hospital and $20.00 will
be devoted to paying the club’s dues
to the State Federation of Music
Clubs. Thus it will be seen that the
music club is not to be just a local
organization, but one having the ad-
vantages of a federated alliance with
others throughout the State.
And that these advantages are not
to be mythical is evidenced by the
promise from headquarters in Pitts-
burgh to send gratis a very fine pian-
ist and singer for the opening of the
club, which will be on October 13th, in
the Presbyterian chapel. On that oc-
casion the public will be cordially wel-
comed. Afterward, at the bi-monthly
meetings, members only will be ex-
pected.

sylvania Alpine club met at Milesburg
last Saturday morning and hiked over
the Allegheny mountains to Snow
Shoe, going by way of Moose run and
visiting the “ant city” enroute. At

ing Major Robert Y. Stuart, commis-
sioner of forestry. Col. Henry W.
Shoemaker, the president of the club,
was in charge of the hike. The entire
party returned home by train on Sum-
day afternoon.

—— The Thimble Bee of the ladies
of the Reformed church will meet at
the home of Mrs. Harry Meyer, corner
Spring and Lamb streets, this (Fri-
day) afterncon.
— Miss Helen Calderwood, who
came here from Tyrone with the
American Lime and Stone company,
has been transferred to the office at
the company’s plant at Union Fur-
nace.
——The Susquehanna river at Wil-
liamsport was within a quarter of an
inch of the low water mark on Mon-
day. The record was made over one
hundred years ago so that the present
condition is lower than any resident of
that city has memory of.
— Mrs. Walter Armstrong enter-
tained Mrs. McKelvey’s bible class of
the Methodist church, Tuesday even-
ing, at her home on Bishop street. The
special and free will offering taken
during the evening, which amounted
to fifty dollars, is to be equally divided
between the Centenary fund and the
church home for children, at Mechan-
icsburg.
— The many Bellefonte friends
of Harry Schreyer, of Chicago, will be
glad to know that he is now on a fair
way to permanent recovery, after suf-
fering the amputation of his right
arm as the result of a bad case of
blood poisoning. Mr. Schreyer, years
ago, was in business in Bellefonte and
since leaving here has returned for
frequent visits, so that he has kept in
touch with his old friends and the
town generally.
—Last Thursday evening Eli Rol-
ley, who conducts a meat market at
Karthaus, was on his way home from
Philipsburg with a truck load of meat
and ice, and in the vicinity of Wood-
land his truck ran off the road and up-
set. A piece of glass from the brok-
en windshield severed a vein in Rol-
ley’s neck and he almost bled to death
before a physician could reach him.
He was later taken to the Clearfield
hospital for treatment.

——Last week Bellefonters who
keep pretty close tab on the big trout
in Spring creek discovered one that
was almost entirely covered with a
fungous growth, evidence that it was
pretty badly diseased. Game warden
Mosher’s attention was called to it
and on Friday, after securing permis-
sion from the burgess to discharge a
firearm within the borough limits, he
shot the trout as it lay in the stream
just opposite the Bush house. The
first shot missed the trout but on the
second try he punctured it right back
of the head. The dead fish was taken
out of the stream and buried.
——Since becoming president of
The Pennsylvania State College Dr.
John M. Thomas has gotten consid-
erable space in the newspapers of the
State in advocating changing the Col-
lege into a State university, but on no
occasion was he able to cop the space
that Hugo Bezdek and his football
team did on Sunday with almost a
full page in the Philadelphia Public
Ledger and the Pittsburgh Gazette-
Times. The college team, by the way,
defeated William and Mary college on
Saturday by the score of 28 to 7, the
visitor’s score being made on a fum-
ble in the first few minutes of the
game.

——Gifford Pinchot, the forester
candidate for Governor, visited Belle-
fonte last Friday afternoon and if it
hadn’t been for the big trout in Spring
creek he would have found little en-
tertainment during the half hour he
spent in town. Escorted by Republi-
can county chairman L. Frank Mayes
Mr. Pinchot and his party came here
from State College and stopping at
the Bush house the candidate was at
once taken out along Spring creek to
see the trout. The ex-forester is an
enthusiastic fisherman and naturally
waxed jubilant at the sight of the
trout. In a few minutes, however, he
returned to the Bush house probably
anticipating a rousing reception but
the gathering was so small that it
didn’t take long to look them all over
and evidently considering the trout
the greater attraction he returned for
another look at them. The Pinchot
party was accompanied by a half doz-
en newspaper men and not one of
them had the temerity to mention the
reception in Bellefonte in their re-
ports.
—— “Once a Moose always a
Moose,” may not have originated with
Sam Haupt but he gave it proper em-
phasis the night many years ago
when the Bellefonte lodge was proper-
ly ineprporated with a big banquet at
the ¥ ockerhoft house and Sam had
incorporated to that extent that he
was obliged to cling to one of the lamp
posts in front of the hotel while
promulgating the above declaration,
which was the first thing that came to
our mind last Saturday when we re-
ceived the September issue of “The
Kardexer,” the monthly publication
of the American Kardex Co., and saw
almest the entire front page covered
with a picture of W. A. Moore sup-
porting a monster pair of moose ant-
lers. My. Moore was one of a party
from southern New York who reeently
returned from a hunt near the Arctic
Divide, in Canada, and the picture
shows their camp with the trophies
of the chase. The fact that Mr. Moore
was the central figure of all the tro-
phies leads us to conclude that he was
the Big Sachem of the party, as he
once was the big chief at the Nittany
"Iron company plant in this place.

Low Water and Raccoons Depopulat-
ing Trout Streams.
If the present unusual drouth con-
tinues much longer many of the small
trout streams in Centre county will
be entirely depopulated, not because
the fish are being left high and dry on
the rocky beds of the stream but be-
cause of the depredations made by
raccoons on the finny tribe. It is a
well known fact that coons like fish
about as well as a colored gentleman
likes possum but when the streams
are well supplied with water they are
not always able to satisfy their appe-
tite.
The present dry spell is as pro-
nounced in Centre county as in other
parts of the State. The last rainfall
of any consequence was on the 4th of
September and there was not enough
of it at that time to affect the moun-
tain springs and streams. The con-
sequence is many of them are so near-
ly dry that only the deeper pools are
still in evidence. This is particularly
the case with Laurel run, which flows
out of the Bear Meadows, past the
Nevel place and through Tusseyville.
It has always been well stocked with
mountain trout.
But now a good portion of the
stream is almost dry and the trout
have all gathered in the deeper pools.
And unfortunately the pools are not
deep enough to afford protection to
the fish and the raccoons are, literally
speaking, scooping them out by the
paw-full. It at first was a puzzling
situation to the game wardens in that
locality and they were finally driven
to desperate means to save the trout.
At intervals along the stream they
have blown out deep holes with dyna-
mite and these when filled with wa-
ter will afford hiding places for the
trout until the stream is again filled
with water.
While Bellefonters cannot realize
what it means to be short of water, as
itis one of the favored spots in the
State, Milesburg people are down to
a limited supply and many farmers in
the county have been hauling water
for weeks past. The weather
man has promised local showers for
this week but it will take several days
steady rain to affect the springs and
low streams. :
Canine Sagacity.
On Thursday afternoon a gang of
telephone linemen who are working
in this part of the State drove into
Bellefonte and with the gang was
Foster McGovern, a Bellefonte man.
The gang also had a dog, which is
part airedale, and as they intended
hanging up here a day or two McGov-
ern took the dog to his father’s home
in Crider’s stone building and asked
them to keep him. Some time during
the evening the dog got out of the
house and disappeared and all efforts
to locate him in that locality proved
unavailing. Finally members of the
family thought of the linemen’s truck
and going to Beatty’s garage the dog
was found on the truck and no amount
of coaxing could persuade him to
leave it. Food was given him and
he stayed there until the men re-
turned.
It then developed that it is one of
the dog’s regular duties to guard the
truck when the men are at work. It
matters not how far away they go
the dog stands guard and will not al-
low a stranger to touch a thing.
When he is off guard duty, however,
he is just as playful and companiona-
ble as any dog could be. His actions
in Bellefonte showed wonderful ca-
nine sagacity, because he was a
stranger in town and how he found his
way from the McGovern home to the
truck at the Beatty garage is inexpli-
cable.
A Plea for Near East Relief.
All Centre county has heard the
cry that has come across the sea from
devastated Smyrna. Near east re-
lief, according to the newspapers, is
being apportioned among the refu-
gees, but to do much good it must
have substantial backing.
Earlier in the year the committee,
for lack of funds, was forced to cut
down its appropriation for the or-
phanages. Now this additional bur-
den has come. Hundreds of new ref-
ugees! Words fail as one tries to
picture this awful calamity. One man
cables, “I have seen terrible sights
until my senses are numb, but the
sight of 200,000 people, mostly women
and children, being penned up and
burning, and those escaping being
driven to a barren and devastated
country for starvation, is past all
comprehension.”
Every dollar sent to Charles M. Mec-
Curdy, First National bank, Belle-
fonte, treasurer for Centre county
Near East relief, will be forwarded at
once to headquarters, and will be used
for a relief which must be immediate.
Women Voters Hold Convention.
Only a fair crowd was present at
the annual convention of the Centre
county branch League of Women Vot-
ers, held at Camp Boal, Boalshurg,
last Friday. Murs. Kocher, vice pres-
ident, presided and the minutes of the
last meeting were read by Mrs.
Hamm, the secretary. The treasurer’s
report was read by Mrs. R. S. Brouse,
of Bellefonte. A box luncheon was
served at noon and later brief talks
were made by candidates Fred B.
Kerr, J. Frank Snyder, W. I. Betts and
Miss Zoe Meek. A letter of regret
