imately $10,000. In addition to the
building and a quantity of farm im-
plements 1,600 bushels of wheat, 2,-
500 bushels of oats and 65 tons of hay
were destroyed. The loss is covered
by insurance.
Both Miss Mary Labaree, of
the Welfare department, Harrisburg,
and Miss Henrietta Baldy Lyon, of
Williamsporrt, were in Bellefonte yes-
terday on their way to Boalsburg,
where they were speakers at the pic-
nic of the League of Women Voters

hundred people attended the formal
dedication of the new tri-county and
State Sunday school training camp
grounds near Franklinville, on Sun-'
day. A special program of exercises '

——DMost Bellefonte people know
that the Scenic is the best place of
every evening entertainment to be
found in the town, and strangers vis-
iting here always go there to see the
best motion picture programs. The
product of the best film producers en-
ter into the nightly programs, and
manager T. Clayton Brown is always
watching for something new and un-
usual for his many patrons.
——The outlook for student regis-
tration at the Bellefonte Academy for
the coming school year is very encour-
aging. Three young men from a small
town in the western part of the State,
which has never been represented at
the Academy, have registered with a
probability of one or two more from
the same place. Quite a number of
boys have registered who have high
standing in various athletic sports so
that the outlook for good teams is un-
usually bright.
——H. J. Hartranft, the efficient
master miller at the Ulsh and Ba-
:shoar mill, had his right arm broken
just below the elbow last Thursday
afternoon. He was applying belt
dressing to the elevator belt and in
some way got his arm caught in the
helt guard. The accident is not only
unfortunate for Mr. Hartranft but
also for the new milling firm,
as they had just gotten started after
completing some repairs and improve-
ments to the mill.
——One of the biggest festivals to
be held in this section this season will
be the one at Milesburg on Saturday
evening of next week, August 25th,
under the auspices of Wetzler’s band.
Owing to the fact that the band boys
will be busy looking after the welfare
of the hundreds who are expected to
attend the gathering the services of
the I. O. O. F. band, of Bellefonte,
have been secured to furnish music for
the evening. A Ford touring car will
be given away during the evening, and
this will surely be a big drawing card.
——Members of the Jaffa Shrine
Temple, of Altoona, which includes on
its roll many Centre countians, will
give a kiddies party and basket picnic
at Shrine park, Altoona, on Thursday
of next week, to which all Shriners are
invited whether kids or not. A hasty
glance over the names of the men in
charge shows that Howard Holzworth,
of Unionville, and M. S. McDowell, of
State College, are on the reception
committee, and this is assurance that
all Centre countians entitled to be
there will be properly received and
welcomed.
Premium Book Out for
Encampment.
The premium book for the big en-
campment and fair at Grange park,
Centre Hall, is out.
sixty pages and one that should be in
the hands of every exhibitor. The
date of the fair is only two weeks
away and the committee of arrange-
ments is rushing to completion the
various improvements which will
greatly add to the convenience and
comfort of both exhibitors and camp-
ers.
The park will be open to campers
on August 30th, and admission charg-
ed from that day. Sunday, however,
will be free to all, and a fine program
has been arranged for that day. Free
entertainments and band concerts will
be given every day in the week.
The stage to be used in presenting
the pageant on Tuesday evening, Sep-
tmber 4th, and Wednesday evening,
September 5th, is now under construc-
tion.
The pageant will be a big thing,
worked out through community ef-
forts, under the direction of W. R.
Gordon, of the Rural Life organiza-
tion, and aided by interested people
in a number of localities. It will por-
tray the history of agriculture and its
future development, the organization
of the Grange and many symbolical
features and scenes. A large number
of men and women, boys and girls will
be used to stage this spectacle. No-
where in Centre county or Central
Pennsylvania has a similar work been
attempted. The best talent the coun-
ty affords is interested in its prepara-
tion, and it is the intention to make it
the big thing of this encampment and
fair, and free on Grange park.
Wednesday of fair week will be
Grand Army day, when the entire
forenoon will be given over to the men
who fought in the Civil war.
will arrange their own program, which
will include patriotic addresses by
good speakers. An educational pro-
gram has been arranged for the after-
noon, and speakers from the Depart-
ment of Public Instruction will talk on
present day educational problems.
Thursday will be Grange day, and
speakers representing both the Na-
tional and State Grange will discuss
topics of vital interest to farmers gen-
erally.
Fifty cents admission, good for the
week, will be charged all persons four-
teen years of age or over; children
under fourteen admitted free. Auto
admission, 50 cents. All needed sup-
plies can be purchased on the park.’
All trains will stop at the park, be-
ginning Saturday, September 1st.
The Williams’ Family Reunion.
The big, mammoth Uncle Tom’s
Cabin shows of modern times always
have two Topsies and two Uncle Toms,
"and now it looks as if Bald Eagle val-
ley will have two Williams’ family re-
unions tomorrow. .
Last week two members of the com-
mittee of arrangements of the reunion
association visited the Bellefonte
newspaper offices and authorized the
announcement that the reunion this
year would be held at Port Matilda in-
stead of the Miles grove, at Martha,
where it has been held ever since the
organization of the association.
In the Philipsburg Journal of Mon-
day, however, J. B. Miles and D. C.
Fink are out in a statement that the
reason the members of the committee
announced the change was because
one of them could not handle the con-
cessions. They further state that re-
gardless of the announcement of the
gathering at Port Matilda members of |
this well known family in the vicinity
of Martha will picnic at the old place
in the Miles grove tomorrow. They
have secured the Wetzler band of
Milesburg, have arranged for a ball
game and lunch will be served on the
ground to all desiring same. All trains
on the valley road will stop at the
grounds as usual, except the flyer.
It now remains to be seen which of
the gatherings will draw the biggest
crowd.
Head-on Collision Near State College
Wrecks Two Cars.
Just about midnight, Monday, Mr.
Sellers, a young hardware merchant
of State College, collided with a car
occupied by Mrs. F. W. Wieland and
her daughter, Miss Mildred, of Lin-
den Hall, with the result that the Sel-
lers car, a Paige, was smashed almost
beyond repair, the Wieland car badly
damaged and both ladies painfully in-
jured. a
The accident occurred on the
straight . piece. of highway between
the old Centre Furnace mill and the
“Evergreens” resort, formerly the
Thompson home. The cause of it we
have been unable.to- ascertain, but
Mrs. Wieland suffered an ugly cut on
the head and numerous bruises and
abrasions. Her daughter, Miss Mil-
dred, who is a graduate of State Col-
lege and at present connected with
the corps of instructors of the Spring
Mills vocational school, was injured
but not seriously. Mr. Sellers was
not hurt.

: Trainmen Have Thrilling Experience.
|
' A dense growth of weeds along a ;
r 2 2 smoker given in the band room in the
railroad siding at the Buffalo Run
! plant of the American Lime & Stone
company caused a bad wreck, last
{ Friday afternoon, and endangered
. the lives of the entire train crew on
| the Bellefonte Central railroad. As
| it was James Rider, engineer, suffer-
ed painful injuries, and William
Sweitzer, conductor, and Samuel Mec-
Murtrie, fireman, were badly shaken
up in jumping from the train.
The train was on its way to Belle-
fonte from State College with six
loaded cars. At the Buffalo Run plant
i the men stopped to take on a car of
stone. The siding into the plant is up
quite a grade and the dense growth of
weeds along the track was crushed on
the rails beneath the wheels of the
engine. When the engine and loaded
car of stone started down the grade
the wheels began to slip owing to the
crushed weeds and there was nothing
the trainmen could do to prevent it.
| Realizing that a collision with the
| cars on the main line was inevitable
Sweitzer and McMurtrie jumped from
the car. Rider stuck to the throttle,
however, until almost the 1ast, whén
he, too, jumped. The engine and ear
{ of stone crashed into the other cars
| with sufficient impact to buckle the
tender, wreck a box car and derail al-
| most the entire train. Almost imme-
| diately the boiler exploded, and the
‘escaping steam and water saved the
wreck from burning. It took two days
to open the road for traffic.

* Unknown Man Steals Pay Check.
| On Monday afternoon Mr. and Mrs.
Rufus Corman, who live back of Zion,
went up onto the mountain to pick
huckleberries and while they were
away some unknown individual en-
tered their house and stole Mrs. Cor-
man’s watch, her wedding ring and
Mr. Corman’s American Lime &
Stone company pay check for $43.18.
On Tuesday morning Mr. Corman
came to Bellefonte and going to
Schaeffer's hardware store asked
Charles Schaeffer to trust him to a
lantern until next pay day, giving as
the reason that his pay check had
been stolen the day before. Mr.
Schaeffer looked somewhat surprised
and told him that he had cashed his
check late Monday afternoon, and
that the check bore his endorsement.
To prove it he produced the check and,
while it had Mr. Corman’s name on
the back of it, it was not his signa-
ture, but a forgery. The individual
who had the check cashed was a
young man, but Mr. Schaeffer is not
certain he would be able to identify
him. He came into the store just be-
fore closing time on Monday evening
and had the check cashed on the pre-
tense that he needed the money before
the banks would open on Tuesday
morning. 3
Officers have been working on the
case but having no description of the
man have made but little headway at
this writing.

Vicious Bull Chased Man Up a Tree.
Returning from a trip to Washing-
ton, D. C., John Ferguson, of Altoona,
got off the early train at Milesburg
on Sunday morning and later walked
to Bellefonte to meet his mother-in-
law, who had returned on the same
train and gone to the home of Mrs.
Richard Lutz, on east Howard street.
Coming up the state highway Mr.
Ferguson was attacked by a vicious
bull that was apparently roaming at
large without any keeper and to get
away from the infuriated animal’s
rushes he was compelled to climb a
tree. Some men passing along the
highway chased the bull away and
Mr. Ferguson was able to leave his
perch in the tree and complete his
trip to Bellefonte.

That the I. O. O. F. or Bellefonte
band, whichever you prefer to call it,
is the best musical organization that
the town has ever boasted is univer-
sally conceded; this in the face of
the fact that Bellefonte has had, in
times passed, several very superior
brass bands.
There has been progress in music,
as in everything else, and all that the
critic needs to convince him that the
I. O. O. F. band has kept abreast of
it is to sit out a concert by our pres-
ent organization. It is not a large
band, but it is a good one, both in mar-
tial and concert appearances and on
the occasion of engagements away
from home wins such praise that we
are convinced that our judgment of it
is not warped by town pride.
There is a reason for all of this.
Its members love music, they find
profitable and pleasant recreation in
their practice, they play because they
enjoy it themselves and hope that
others do and have a thought only of
the pleasure they give every one, for
none of them receive a cent for their
These are the fundamentals
underlying the success of the Odd
Fellows band. Without them no band
can maintain a proper esprit de corps
but something more is needed. A
good leader or director must be in
charge to mould the fundamentals in-
to organization.
Because the band has a good lead-
¢r it is a good band and because
every member of it has the utmost
confidence in and respect for the abil-
ity of Sam Bryant to direct there was
a great surprise in store for him last
Monday night.
The occasion was an informal little
I. O. O. F. building. All present and
with three outside guests, were invit-
ed. Upon the invitation of manager
down to a table, daintily spread with
just such food as men enjoy when
they rub shoulders in good fellowship.
It wasn’t an elaborate banquet. No
attempt at such a thing. It was mere-
ly a nifty little feed for the band boys
and instead of a night of solid rehear-
sal. After it was over Mr. Wion
transformed himself from manager to
toast master and called for post-pran-
dial effort from many sources. All
responded in a happy, helpful vein,
the gist being that the band is too
splendid an organization for Belle-
fonte to look on indifferently. Then
the surprise of the evening came
his fellow band men valued so highly
the services of their director that they
thought something more than the
small remuneration he receives was
necessary to properly express their
appreciation. Forthwith he produced
from some mysterious quarter a hand-
some black leather case and in it was
A Conn, |
Victor, with all the accessories. Then
you should have ‘seen Sam. Modest,
diffident, unassuming by nature, he
was completely overcome.
We learned then why Sam hasn’t
“played in” much with his band late-
ly. He wore his own horn out play-
ing for the pleasure of Bellefonte and
felt unable to buy a new one. The
nearest he could get to it was a piec-
ture of the one presented him which
he had carried about with him for a
year or more. No wonder that this
unique music master whose artistic
temperament few know anything of
couldn’t speak or even play a note on
and gratitude that was welling in him.
Some night, however, you’ll hear Sam
singing out his soul to those splendid
fellows who have made him so happy.
And when you do maybe you’ll catch
the spirit and realize what a good
band means to a community and to
you.
Man Killed in Clay Mines at
Milesburg. !
Isaiah MacDonald, an employee in
the clay mines at the Milesburg brick
plant, was almost instantly killed
about 10:30 o’clock on Tuesday morn-
ing by a fall of clay. He was load-
ing clay in a drift on the W. S. Ir-
vin farm, just back of the brick plant,
when the bank of clay suddenly caved
in without any warning, knocking him
down and almost completely burying
him beneath the heavy mass. In fall-
ing his head struck the wheel of an
automobile standing nearby, fractur-
ing his skull. Other workmen dug
him out as quickly as possible but
death had already resulted.
He was forty-three years old and a
native of Clearfield, though he had
lived in the vicinity of Milesburg for
a number of years. - He married Miss
Ella Poorman, of Boggs township,
who survives with nine children, as
follows: Herman and Velma, of
Grampian; Harry, Donald, Annie,
Isaiah, Winfield, Pauline and Nettie,
at home. He also leaves his mother,
living at Grampian, nine brothers and
two sisters, most of whom live in
Clearfield county.
Funeral services will be held at his
late home at ten o’clock this (Friday)
morning, burial to be made in the
Treziyulny cemetery.
Reformed Church Being Improved.
Taking advantage of their pastor’s
mid-summer vacation the members of
the Reformed church of Bellefonte are
having a number of decided improve-
ments made in their edifice. A new
central heating plant is being install-
ed at an approximate cost of $2,500.
The interior of the .church will be
freshly frescoed and the Ladies Aid
society have assumed the burden of
putting a new carpet in the church at
a cost of $1,200 or more.
