should enable him to make a success
of his new venture.
— Bellefonte people have had a
real taste of fall weather the past
week, the mercury dropping most
every night to below forty degrees
while on Monday morning it was down
to thirty-three. While there have
been frosts a number of mornings
they were invariably followed by
dense fogs so that comparatively lit-
tle damage has been done.

quite a zoo at his kennels in Miles-
burg. He now has a pair of foxes, a
pair of wolves and fourteen snow
white Eskimo dogs. The aggregation

——Both fire companies with all
their equipment were called out on
Monday afternoon in response to an

Their services, however, were not
needed as the fire was in a pile of ref-
use outside the boiler house and the
men at the garage had it under con-,
trol when the fire companies arrived
on the scene. Just how the fire orig- |
inated is not definitely known but as |
the pile of refuse contained a consid-
erable quantity of old oily waste it)
was possibly the result of spontane-
ous combustion.

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-

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:

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.

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.

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.

cate completed and turned over to the

. 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.

ing branches in Centre county as does that

daughter, Miss Alice, are visiting Mr.

sturted to learn the printing game and
was a most pleasing little “devil” in this

ogy, and we can’t say that he made a mis-
take for had he stuck he might have been
a’ poor printer, like the rest of us, whereas
he is now rolling around in a limousine
enjoying the fruits of a business that has
something more than glory for its reward.
