Miss Helen Stover, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Stover, of Phil- ‘ipsburg, is being acclaimed a heroine “because of her alertness and presence «of mind in rescuing Mrs. James Mec- "Tigue, of Rush township, from a per- ilous situation and possible death. The two women had gone out after choke cherries and Mrs. McTigue was in the act of walking across a railroad bridge when she heard the approach of a pas- .senger train. The whistle of the “train so unnerved her that she fainted and dropped to the track. Miss Sto- ~ver rushed to the middle of the bridge, grabbed the prostrate woman by the shoulders and dragged her out of dan- ger just as the train rushed by. ——The rehearsals for “The Com- ing of Ruth,” the dramatic cantata to be given for the benefit of the Belle- fonte hospital are progressing splen- didly. The music is of such charm and beauty as to arouse much enthu- siasm on the part of the participants. By some inquiry we have obtained a little information concerning the au- thor of this beautiful work. Dr. W. T. Noss is a native of this State, a graduate of Shippensburg Normal and | of Allegheny College, having the de- grees of M. A. and LL. L. D.. For several years he was professor of mathematics at Palmer College, Al- bany, Missouri. One of his teachers, was the great Hugh A. Clark, of Phil- adelphia, known to all music lovers. Dr. ‘Noss is author of “The Glory of Israel,” “The Great Evangel” and several other musical numbers, in ad- dition to “The Coming of Ruth.” Re- hearsals in the Y. M. C. A, Monday, 1 TUESDAY’S PRIMARIES. Democrats Nominate a Splendidly Strong Ticket. Tuesday marked the close of the preliminary skirmish for county and district offices in Centre county. On the Democratic side there were only four contests and fewer aspir- ants than the Republicans had so that there was little if any interest taken in the fight. Every one felt that any one of the aspirants would have made | a candidate behind whom the party could have hopefully rallied. Taylor for sheriff defeated Breon by 990 votes. The result was not discredita- ble to Mr. Breon. He is a young man who had never figured in county poli- tics before and had to combat the feeling that Taylor was entitled to a chance to redeem his defeat of four years ago and that the public has re- alized that it has an obligation to the soldiers of the world war that it wants to discharge. The contest between Smith and Car- son for Treasurer, resulted in a vic- tory for Smith of 715. Mr. Carson re- ceived a very complimentary vote when it is considered that he came into the field months after Mr. Smith had "announced and too late to make a thorough canvass of the county. The really surprising contest was that between Hoy and Geiss for Re- corder. Almost at the eleventh hour Mr. Geiss decided to enter the race and the fact that he lost by only 61 votes is evidence that he has many friends among the Democrats of the county. For Commissioner Swabb and Spearly won. They ran very close in the county there being only 67 votes difference in the totals. Both defeat-: ed Mr. Yearick, the present minority Commissioner by over 300 and Bur- dine Butler by nearly a thousand. WHERE THERE WERE REAL FIGHTS. While the Democrats developed nothing more than a friendly contest the Republicans, for every office but | ,osent will be located between the ing of council and which have been one for which there was no contest, showed the effects of being in power too long by fighting like cats and dogs. Double-crossing, ingratitude, treachery and jockeying for suprema- cy in control of the party machinery was in evidence in every contest, with the result that several candidates who deserved a better fate at the hands of the party they have so loyally served were chucked into the discard— thrown away like an old shoe and the favors given to those who have never done more than vote the ticket and some of them have only recently done : that. In Bellefonte borough there were no contests of any account except for the office of overseer of the poor, Alexander Morrison and Thomas Fleming being the Republican nomi- nees and Miss Anne Badger and Wm. Rider the Democratic. Borough coun- cil nominations include John 8S. Walk- : er, in the North ward; Harry Flack, : Republican, and Harry Badger, Dem- ocrat in the South Ward. As there are two to elect in the South "both are assured of a seat at the council table. ‘John L.- Dunlap was the only candidate in the West ward. Dr. M. J. Lecke was renom- inated for school director on both tickets and M. T. Eisenhauer for bor- ough auditor. The county ticket as they will ap- pear on the ballot at the election in November are as follows: DEMOCRATIC. Sheriff—E. R. Taylor, of Bellefonte. Prothonotary—8. Claude Herr, of Belle- fonte. County Treasurer—Lyman L. Smith, of ‘Centre Hall. Register—Forrest township. Recorder—Sinie H. Hoy, of Benner town- ship. County Commissioner—John S. Spearly, of Benner township, and James W. Swabb, of Harris township. District Attorney—Arthur S. Ocker, of Miles C. Dale, of ! Bellefonte. County Auditors—Jonathan S. Condo, of Marion township, and Herbert H. Stover, of Miles township. County Surveyor—H. B. Shattuck, State College. of REPUBLICAN. Sheriff —William H. Brown, fonte. Prothonotary—Roy Wilkinson, of Belle- fonte. County Treasurer—James O. Heverly, of Bellefonte.

District Attorney—John G. Love, Bellefonte. County Auditors—Samuel B. Holter, of Howard, and Robert D. Musser, of Gregg township. County Surveyor—H. . B. Shattuck, of State College. A detailed report of the vote cast in each district’ in the county will be found elsewhere. b : of Belle- of Spring of A Splendid Testimonial. The vote in Benner township shows what the people of that district thought of their home candidate for County Commissioner. .. John Spearly has lived among them practically all his life. For fifteen years he has been the township tax collector. He has been treasurer of the road fund, secretary of the school board and assessor; all positions that only a fair and capable man can fill without making enemies somewhere. That Mr. Spearly is regarded as not only a good citizen and neighbor but a most satisfactory township official was shown on Tuesday when he re- ceived every vote but three in the two and Tuesday of next week. precincts of his home township. ——School teachers should make their reservations at the Brockerhoff house now for teachers’ insite. 7-2t Meeting of Woman’s Club. The first meeting of the year of the Woman’s Club will be held Monday evening, September 24th, at 7:30, in ! the auditorium of the High school. { The president desires a full attend- "ance. Football at the Academy. Training of the Bellefonte Acade- my football squad is becoming more strenuous every day in anticipation of day, September 29th. This team is composed of all college players and as it will doubtless be a grueling con- test coach Carl G. Snavely is leaving nothing undone to get his men in shape. The Academy squad at present numbers about thirty men and every one of them is doing his best to make the team. If the heavy men win out i the team will average 180 pounds, but i coach Snavely is placing most of his emphasis on speed so that the lighter men may be picked, in which event the team may not average over 170 pounds | to the man. Among those who are showing up good are Grim, of Bea- ver; Buyny, of Vandergrift; Stoops i and Di Meole, of Coraopolis; Walsh, of | Trenton. Breen, Blackburn and Whit- | man are promising line men, while | Cutler, Guarino and Welch are show- ing up well in the backfield. Decker Bros. Break Ground for New Garage. The Decker Bros., agents for the Chevrolet car in Centre county, broke ‘ground on Monday for their new garage on Spring street, on the prop- erty purchased from the Garman es- tate. The building to be erected at | old Daniel Garman residence on the ! corner of High and Spring streets and i the Holz property on Spring street, and will extend back to the corner of the McClain block. The building will be two stories high with a basement. The property purchased by the Decker Bros. from the Garman estate includes the ground on which the store of Joseph Thal stands but that gentleman, unable to find another de- sirable location, last week purchased the site he has occupied for so many vears. In. fact his purchase in- cludes a strip of “ground fifteen feet in width and a little over sixty feet in depth which will enable him, at any time he desires to do so, to erect a more commodious room thereon. Where Mr. and Mrs. North Will be Located. The “Watchman” has repeatedly told of Mr. and Mrs. W. R. North going to China to engage in educa- tional missionary work for a period of five years. Mr. and Mrs. North start- ed from San Francisco on Tuesday on the steamship Tenyo Maru and be- cause of the fact that Mrs. North, be- fore her marriage, was Miss Sara Shuey, of Bellefonte, most anything in connection with the place where they are going will be of interest. They will be located at Chengtu, | fifteen hundred miles up the Yangste - iriver from Shanghai. The west Chi- i nese are a virile race, with a cosmo- politan spirit of progressiveness. The , ! soil is as rich as the people vigorous, seven crops being raised in one sea- | son. ‘Transportation; however, is lack- ing to put the wonderful products of | the country on the market. The only road in the province is the “Big | Road,” connecting Chungking, the ‘ port, with Chengtu, the capital, and it .is only a paved footpath, over which a | coolie carries the traveler in a chair, or over which one rides on the back of a pony. There is no wagon road and no wagon. Presbyterian Congregation Elects Committee to Select Pastor. lege, officiated as moderator over a congregational meeting in the Pres- byterian church on Sunday morning tee to select a new pastor to succeed Rev. David R. Evans, who recently re- signed to accept the pastorate of the Knox Presbyterian church at Kearny, N. Jd. The committee selected includes two elders, William B. Rankin and Charles Gilmour; two trustees, Arthur H. Sloop and Charles F. Mensch, and four from the congregation at large, Misses Anne Hoy and Olive Mitchell, Col. J. L. Spangler and Charles M. McCurdy. Following the selection of the com- mittee Miss Hoy made a rather ap- pealing little talk in which she plead for unity support of the man who is finally called as leader. She had no hesita- tion in stating that the Presbyterian congregation is composed of two dis- tinet factions, conservatives and pro- gressives, and instead of harmonizing their differences in opinions they an- tagemize—each other with the result that the pastor is not given the united moral and spiritual support of the en- tire congregation. Because of these well known differences in the past Miss Hoy urged entire unanimity in the selection of a new pastor and united support after he is chosen. It is understood that the clerk of the sessions has received a number of applications from ministers who would like to come to Bellefonte and all will be invited to preach trial sermons in due time. the opening game with the Potts Col- ! lege team, of Williamsport, on Satur- | Dr. Samuel Martin, of State Col-! for the purpose of electing a commit- in the selection of a' new pastor as well as unity in the Miscellaneous Business Transacted by Borough Council. For some time past the Finance committee of Bellefonte borough | council has had under consideration the question of requiring the treasur- er of the Pruner orphanage fund to give a bond, inasmuch as he has in his possession upwards of $25,000 in ‘cash and government bonds. | matter was taken up with the Ty- i rone borough council and according to a. communication received from - the secretary of the Tyrone council and read at Monday night’s meeting of !the Bellefonte council, they consider it a matter for the trustees of the orphanage to look after. The mat- ter was referred to the Finance com- { mittee and borough solicitor to deter- ‘mine who is responsible for the safe | keeping of the fund, and report at t next meeting. The Street committee reported var- ious repairs on streets, a number of pavement grades given, several cul- verts opened and turned in $2.25 for the sale of terra cotta pipe. The Water committee reported that the water line to Coleville is now be- ing laid under the supervision of the borough manager. Mr. Flack, of the Fire and Police ! | onmitees, stated that the time of ! year is here for firing the boilers at | the two hose houses, and recommend- led that the police be required to fire ‘them as in past seasons. The recom- | mendation was approved by council. The Finance committee asked for , the renewal of notes totalling $20,400, land also reported the borough dupli- cate completed and turned over to the tax collector. cludes $9,659.74 for borough purpos- | es; $9,659.74 for interest and $19,- 305.45 for streets, or a total of $38,- 24.93. . Regarding the hitching posts along | the Potter-Hoy hardware store on { north Water street, about which eom- plaint was made at a previous meet- condemned as dangerous because of : the narrow street, the Fire and Po- | lice committee was instructed to have them removed. Mr. Cunningham inquired as to { what is being done toward the open- ling of north Water street and the | borough manager stated that an ex- perienced contractor had been on the ground within a week and gave it as his opinion that the street as origi- nally surveyed would be too steep a grade. The matter was taken up with John McCoy and there is a probabil- ity of his agreeing to a change in location which would reduce the grade considerably. was instructed to hasten negotiations so that if the change is permitted the work of opening the street can be done this fall. Charles F. Cook, A. C. Mingle and Mrs. :M. E. Brouse, members of the Bellefonte school board, appeared be- fore council to back up the borough manager in his statement that a new underground culvert is badly needed along the High school grounds on Lamb street to take care of the sur- face water from Lamb, east Linn and north Allegheny streets. The old stone culvert put down many years ago is clogged up a good part of the way and in very bad condition. The bor- ough manager stated that it would probably require a twenty-four inch pipe to carry off the water during hard rains. That size terra cotta pipe will cost $2.25 per foof while George E. Rhoades & Son have offer- ed to furnish the same size concrete pipe and lay it for $3.50 a foot, the borough, however, to dig the ditch and cover the pipe. The distance is 364 feet and the cost for the terra cotta pipe, exclusive of laying, would be $819, while the concrete pipe laid, | but not counting the expense of dig- ging the ditch and covering the pipe, would cost $1274. In addition to the underground culvert it will also be necessary to put down an open gut- ter to take care of the surface water joo Lamb street and the school grounds. The school board is of the opinion that council should bear the i entire expense of both culvert and | ditch but members of council are : otherwise inclined and the matter was finally referred to the Street commit- i tee and borough manager for further investigation and report at next meet- ing. Mr. Brouse reported that the old town horse is not what it used to be and stated that he is of the opinion that it would be a wise investment to purchase a truck for the use of the borough. Mr. Seibert stated that a Ford truck with a dump body can be bought for $950, and after some dis- cussion the matter was referred to the Street committee with power. Bills were approved to the amount (of $4240.85, after which council ad- journed. School Teachers Invited to Lunch at Brockerhoff House.
