Lutheran Conference Met at Spring
Mills.
The Northern Conference of Central
Pennsylvania Synod of the United
Lutheran church held its annual meet-
ing in the Lutheran church of Spring
Mills May 21st and 22nd. This con-
ference comprises the Lutheran
churches of Centre county and parts
of Clinton and Union counties. The
sessions were well attended.
The Conference reports four vacant
pastorates within its bounds. Rev. M.
C. Drumm, of Centre Hall, was elect-
ed president to succeed Rev. John I.
Reish. Rev. Edwin Dingman, of Nit-
tany, was selected as secretary for
the ensuing year, and Rev. F. H. Dau-
benspeck, of Aaronsburg, was made
treasurer.
The sessions were characterized by
the presentation and discussion of
subjects of practical value to both
clerical and lay delegates. Rev. W. M.
Rearick, D. D., of Mifflinburg, very
heavily scored the liberalism of today
in an address on “Fundamentalism vs.
Modernism,” delivered Tuesday even-
ing. Rev. Charles H. Brosius, mis-
sionary representative of the Luther-
an church in Liberia, Africa, spoke
very illuminatingly of the work being
done there.
The following papers were presenti-
ed to the conference by the Lutheran
ministers of Centre county: “Augs-
burg Confession, Article 28,” by Rev.
Edwin Dingman, Nittany; “Import-
ance of Mid-week Service,” Rev. M.
C. Drumm, Centre Hall; “The Emo-
tional Element in Religion,” Rev. W.
P. Ard, Bellefonte; “Russellism,” Rev.
F. H. Daubenspeck, Aaronsburg;
“Congregational Obligation to Person-
al Service,” Rev. J. F. Harkins, of
State College; “The Holy Commun-
ion,” Rev. W. J. Wagner, Boalsburg.
Centre County Baseball League Games
As announced in this paper last
week the Centre County Baseball
League opened its regular schedule on
Memorial day.
While Bellefonte journeyed to State
College last Saturday and defeated
the entrant of that town by the score
of 15 to 5 all the teams didn’t get un-
der way until Wednesday.
State Ccllege played Belefonte on
Hughes ficld before a large crowd and
went down under the score of 7 to 2.
Centre Hall and Millheim played
two games, the latter winning both.
The game played at Centre Hall in
the morning resulted in a 7-5 victory
for the visitors and when the teams
met at Millheim for an afternoon
game the home team blanked the vis-
itors while piling up 8 runs for them-
selves.
The standing of the clubs to date is
as follows:

Bellefonte - - 0 1000
Millheim - 2 0 1000
Centre Hall 0 2 0000
State College - 0 2 0000
Two Men Killed on Railroad Crossing.
Dr. 0. K. Pellman, dentist, and
Frank S. Frederick, automobile ma-
chinist, beth of Mifflinburg, were al-
most instantly killed on Saturday
morning at the Eighth street railroad
crossing in that town when the auto-
mobile in which they were riding was
struck by the passenger train east on
the Lewisburg railroad.
According to reports the men were
trying out a new Willys-Knight car
and had a long stretch of straight
track to see the approaching train.
Harry Page, engineer of the train,
blew the whistle repeatedly and nat-
urally did not expect the men to at-
tempt to beat the train over the cross-
ing. Of course it is just possible that
they were so deeply engrossed in the
performance of the new car that they
failed to look for the train, for they
drove onto the railroad right in front
of the locomotive. The machine was
struck fair in the side and rolled over
and over until it was literally reduced
to scrap. One of the men was killed
outright and the other died within
two minutes.
Log Cabin Memorial Dedicated.
A log cabin erected at Paddy
Mountain by the Pennsylvania Alpine
club as a memorial to the late Lieut.
Byron Foust Krumrine, of Altoona,
who was drowned in Penn’s creek
about a year ago, was dedicated on
Wednesday with impressive services.
Col. Henry W. Shoemaker presided
and Miss Lillian C. Sheffer pulled the
cord that held the furled flag in front
of the cabin allowing it to open to the
mountain breezes. The chief speaker
was Col. Thomas W. Lloyd, of the Ga-
zette and Bulletin, Williamsport.

McCALMONT.—Miss Jane Rebecca
McCalmont,
which for a century or longer
was prominent in the life and
history of Little Nittany valley,
passed away on Tuesday morning
at the home of her niece, Mrs.
John S. Walker, on North Al-
Six weeks or more
ago she contracted a cold which de-
veloped into pneumonia, the first seri-
ous illness she had during her long
life. While her attending physician
was able to break up the pneumonia
other complications developed which
eventually resulted in her death.
A daughter of James and Elizabeth
Sterrett McCalmont she was born on
the homestead farm near Jackson-
ville on March 21st, 1843, hence had
reached the age of 80 years, 2 months
and 8 days. Her ancestry can be
traced back to Thomas McCalmont, a
covenanter preacher, who, in 1666,
was compelled to flee from Scotland
to the north of Ireland to escape re-
ligious persecutions. Just one hun-
dred years later, or in 1766, his son,
Thomas McCalmont, came to America
and settled atthe headwaters of Lick
Run in Little Nittany valley, and
years later the village of Jacksonville
was located near his homestead. It
was there his great grand-daughter,
Jane McCalmont, was born almost
eighty years later. Her girlhood life
was spent on the home farm where she
attended the public schools and later
the Jacksonville Seminary, at that
time the fashionable and popular
boarding school for girls in this sec-
tion of the State.
Forty-three years ago she and her
brother Robert came to Bellefonte to
make their home with their sister and
her husband, Mr. and Mrs. William
Shortlidge. Following the death of
Mrs. Shortlidge and Mr. McCalmont
she had lived with her nieces, Mrs.
John S. Walker and Miss Annie Short-
lidge. In early life she united with
the Lick Run Presbyterian church but
on coming to Bellefonte to make her
home she transferred her membership
to the Bellefonte church. Her church
interests were probably the dominat-
ing feature of her life. Faithful in
her attendance at all church services,
earnest and conscientious in all ac-
tivities pertaining to the betterment
of mankind she was always recogniz-
ed as the highest type of christian
womanhood.
She was the last of a family of six
children and while her survivors in-
clude a number of nieces and neph-
ews those most closely associated to
her were Mrs. John S. Walker and
Miss Annie Shortlidge, with whom she
lived the greater part of her life after
coming to Bellefonte.
Rev. David R. Evans, pastor of the
Presbyterian church, will have charge
of the funeral services which will be
held at the Walker home at two
o’clock this (Friday) afternoon, after
which burial will be made in the
Shortlidge lot in the Union cemetery.

citizen of Ferguson township, died at
his home at Baileyville last Saturday
as the result of a stroke of paralysis
sustained about ten days previous.
He was a son of Peter P. and Mary
Shoemaker Reish and was born in
Union county on March 16th, 1850,
hence was past seventy-three years of
age. When a lad he came to Centre
county and went to work for his un-
cle, Isaac Reish, on his farm at Pine
Hall, and the result was he made till-
ing the soil his life work. He was a
progressive and energetic citizen and
a man who had the esteem of all who
knew him.
In the winter of 1881 he married
Miss Lizzie Homan who survives with
two sons and one daughter, Rev. John
E. Reish, of Loganton; W. A. and
Miss Chesta, at home. He also leaves
three grand-children and the follow-
ing brother and sisters: Mrs. Emma
Calvert and D. K. Reish, of Altoona,
and Miss Mary Reish, of Boalsburg.
He was an earnest and sincere mein-
ber of the Lutheran church and Rev,
J. E. English had charge of the fun-
eral services which were held in the
Lutheran church at Pine Grove
Mills on Tuesday, burial being made
in the cemetery at that place. The
family wish to express their apprecia-
tion, throught the columns of the
“Watchman,” to all those who assist-
ed them during their bereavement.

Bees Swarm on Horse.
The Penn State College has attain-
ed to the rank of one of the leading
educational institutions in the country
and its schedule includes most every
study imaginable, but there is nothing
in its curriculum to cover an incident
that transpired in that town last Sat-
urday afternoon.
John H. Neidigh, a well known re-
tired farmer drove into town and
hitched his horse to a post on Pugh
street. A few minutes later a swarm
of bees came along looking for a con-
venient place to settle and the queen
bee promptly decided to settle on the
horse.
and became very much excited, but
was unable to rid itself of the bees. A
large crowd was soon attracted to the
scene but net a man in the erowd had
made a study of panning bees from a
horse, and most of them kept at a
safe distance. Finally Mr. Neidigh
from his plunging steed. Once the
queen was dislodged she took flight
elsewhere and the swarm disappeared.
But the horse was badly stung, and
imal would have to be shot to put it
out of its misery, but he is now com-
ing around all right and there is every
reason to believe that he will soon be
as good as ever.

——On Wednesday morning Arbor
Everett, one of Bellefonte’s efficient
mail carriers, motored with his family
to Millheim and in attempting to turn
from Penn street west on Main street
was run into by a car from Yeager-
town going in the opposite direction,
the driver of which, it is claimed, was
not only on the wrong side of the
street but exceeding the speed limit,
Mr. Everett's car was pretty badly
damaged but fortunately none of the
occupants were injured. The Yeager-
town car was slightly damaged.
Mrs. Samuel Harris, who was
at her home in Mill Hall, is slowly re-
covering. Her daughter, Mrs. Hart-
sock, has been with her mother since

| Large Crowd Present at Memorial
Services in Union Cemetery.
Beautiful weather and a general
holiday brought out a large crowd to
| the annual memorial services in the
i Union cemetery on Wednesday after-
{ noon. The parade formed on Bishop
‘ street and included the Odd Fellows
| band, Brooks-Doll Post of the Ameri-
| can Legion, Troop B, dismounted, G.
lA. R. veterans to the number of six-
teen in automobiles, the Boy Scouts,
| Bellefonte Camp P. O. S. of A., the
' Harry Copping shows’ band, the Lo-
gan and Undine fire companies and
the Campfire girls.
On reaching the cemetery both the
G. A. R. and American Legion services
were held after which the memorial ad-
dress was delivered by Rev. David R.
Evans, of the Presbyterian church.
In a pathetic manner he paid tribute
to the men in blue who fought so
nobly during the four years of the
Civil War as well as the younger
heroes who crossed the sea to per-
petuate the principles of democracy,
urging his hearers to “carry on” in
the cause for which men fought, bled
and died might be perpetuated to
generations yet to come.
At the conclusion of the services the
parade reformed and marched to the
Diamond where it disbanded.
BOAL TROOP AT PINE GROVE.
One of the features of the memor-
ial services at Pine Grove Mills was
the unexpected appearance of the Boal
machine gun troop, of Boalsburg, un-
der command of Capt. Charles E. Sohl,
in the line of parade. Accompanying
the troop were Col. Theodore Davis
Boal and Col. Wilbur F. Leitzel. An
unusually large crowd was in attend-
ance. Rev. J. E. English made the
principal address while Col. Leitzel
spoke in behalf of his world war com-
rades.
The services at Baileyville and
Graysville in the morning and Pine
Hall in the evening were also largely
attended.

mand not only in his own denomina-
tion but outside as well. Centre coun-

for this occasion.

Abe Rubbed It In.
Some of you will recall reading our
acknowledgement of the supply of
“liver scraper” that friend Abe Mar-
kle, of State College, deluged us with
several weeks ago. We made it the
occasion of a mild rebuke to the gen-
tleman for having uprooted so many
dandelions that might have grown
blossoms to beautify the landscape,
furnish honey for the bees and flavor
and kick for an old fashioned bever-
age that seems to have grown in pop-
ularity since the year of Mr. Volstead,
P. Pb, 1018.
Abe is not concerned about yellow
posies. He never showed a yellow
streak himself and, maybe, he don’t
enjoy it in nature. As we intimated
| before we know he is a tee-totaler and,
! of course, wouldn’t have any interest
in anything stronger than one-half of
one that could be made {rom dande-
lions. But he does appreciate the
busy little bee. And just to show us
that his generosity with the “liver
scraper” hadn’t robbed the College
township bees of raw product for their
food supply he brought us two boxes
of “pure dandelion honey” last Friday.
We never ate “pure dandelion honey”
before and we doubt if any one else
has but that’s what Abe said it was
and, with us his word goes, for it was
! just a little different and a little bet-
| ter than any other honey we have ever
tasted.

lege Bus.
‘Franklin Burger, of Tyrone, was so
badly crushed against a fence by a big
auto bus from State College that he
'died two hours later in the Altoona
hospital. Burger, who was fifty-nine
| years old, was repairing a fence oppo-
| site the ore mines a short distance
| east of Tyrone. The bus was on its
i way to Tyrone and as it approached
the ore mines two men stepped out of
the quarry almost directly in front of
the machine. In order to avoid hitting
them the driver of the bus pulled
sharply to the left and unfortunately
| caught Burger, whom he had failed to
| see, and crushed him between the bus
| and the fence.
| A young girl, whose name could not
be learned, and who was a passenger
in the bus volunteered her services
and rendered first aid to the injured
man. He was then placed in the car
of a Mr. Matthews, who happened
along, and with the girl still in charge
was rushed to the Altoona hospital,
but he died shortly after reaching
there. Burger is survived by his wife,
two sons and three daughters. The
driver of the bus was not held but al-
lowed to proceed on his way.

Nero Watched the Gladiatorial Com-
bats Through the Magic Emerald.
The first record we have of artificial
means being used dates back to 54 A.
D. It is claimed Nero watched the
contests of men and wild beasts
through an emerald so constructed
that light rays passing through con-
verged and reflected at the same time.
Nero would not have exchanged this
emerald for a kingdom because of its
magical power. Thousands in this
age do not realize the magical power
of properly fitted glasses.

—A certain farmer is going to ex-
periment some with potatoes this year.
It is the plan to plant one-half the
space devoted to potatoes with Cob-
blers. One-half the Cobbler seed will
be New Jersey second crop and the
other half New York late crop seed.
The other part will be planted to
Green Mountains.
