lege, where he is a member of the
Sophomore class. McKelvey was
chosen as the representative of the
Sigma Chi fraternity on the student

ANOTHER VICTIM OF TYPHOID
EPIDEMIC.
Mrs. William Young, of Coleville,
Passed Away Wednesday [
1
Morning.
The typhoid fever epidemic at Cole-
ville and vicinity resulted in another
death at 2:15 o’clock on Wednesday '
morning when Mrs. Margaret N.
Young, wife of William Young, passed
away at the Bellefonte hospital. She
had been ill for almost three weeks
but was not taken to the hospital un-
til Tuesday, when her condition was
regarded as extremely critical.
She was a daughter of Thomas and
Mary Peece and was born in Miles-
burg forty-seven years ago. In addi-
tion to her husband she is survived by
the following children: Mrs. Flor-
ence Emenhizer, of Orviston; Mrs.
Clarence Flack, of Port Matilda; Mrs.
Carrie Hockman, of Bellefonte; Ray-
mond, James, George, Clarence, Clar-
ice and Betty, all at home. She also
leaves two sisters and four brothers,
Mrs. Fannie Emenhizer, of Yarnell;
Mrs. Elizabeth Long, of Snow Shoe;
Harry, Thomas, Joseph and John
Peece, of Coleville.
Mrs. Young was a member of the
Methodist church and Rev. E. E. Mc-
Kelvey will have charge of the fun-
eral services which will be held at one
o'clock this afternoon, burial to be
made in the Meyers cemetery.
The death of Mrs. Young is the sec-
ond to occur since the outbreak of ty-
phoid fever three weeks ago, Miss
Helen Wolfe having died last week,
and there are still three very serious
cases, Miss Pearl Leathers, Clarence
Young, a son of Mrs. Young, who died
on Wednesday morning, and John
Rossman. Five new cases were ad-
mitted to the hospital this week,
namely: Robert Davis, John Ross-
man, Margaret. Rodavick, Thurman
Davis and Mrs. Margaret Young.
This makes a total of twenty-two
cases admitted up to Wednesday noou.
With two deaths and two patients
discharged left eighteen in the hos-
pital at that time, but two other cases
have likely been taken to the hospital
by this time which will make a total
of twenty there and twenty-four all
told as the result of the epidemic.
It is the worst siege of typhoid ever
known in Centre county and is entire-
ly ascribable to the fact that so many
people had used the water from the
infected springs before the disease de-
veloped. But the promptness and
thoroughness with which the local
representative of the State Board of
Health acted when the source of in-
fection was discovered undoubtedly
saved many people from becoming in-
I fected. In a recent issue the “Watch-
man” told of the blowing up with dy-
namite of the concrete reservoir used
as a supply for Collins’ Row, but the
authorities were not content to stop
there. They secured the service of a
traction engine and connecting a
steam pipe from the engine to the
service pipes at that place forced live
steam through the entire system for
a period of five hours. Great quanti-
‘ties of slime and dirt were blown out
and after the pipes were thoroughly
| cleaned a service pipe was connected
with the Coleville water line and since
then the people living at that place
have had the benefit of the water
from the Bellefonte spring.
Inasmuch as it is now about twenty
days since the source of the infection
has been destroyed it is likely that the
epidemic has almost run its course
and few new cases are likely to de-
velop.
Let Us be One of Them.
The clean up and paint up campaign
now being waged all over the country,
has been an established activity in
more than 7,000 American cities for
{many years past, and as the very defi-
nite advantages of improved sanita-
tion, lower fire risk, and increased
beauty and pleasantness of civic
cleanliness have been made apparent,
the campaign has grown in scope and
importance. It has done this because
it enlists the active interest and co-
operation of citizens of all classes in
all walks of life.
Bellefonte will entertain many buy-
ers and visitors from out of town
within the next few months, and the
opportunity to establish a reputation
as the cleanest, livest and most pros-
perous community in the entire State
is one that this newspaper does not
believe will be overlooked.
The object of this campaign is to
clean up and paint up Bellefonte in-
doors and out. To do away with filth,
rubbish and unsightly, neglected prop-
erties. In short, to “dress up” the
town and to keep it so in anticipation
of the thriving business which local
merchants believe is in store for this
year.
The clean up and paint up cam-
paign not only puts the community
in good sanitary condition, but
makes it possible to keep it clean.
Unless the work of cleaning up and
painting up is kept up by systematic
efforts the year around little perma-
nent good is accomplished. It is im-
portant that the initial intensive work
be general and thorough. Then the
follow-up work can be carried on ef-
fectively, and the danger of unsani-
tary conditions returning is removed.
Civic cleanliness and paintliness
means a lowered fire risk, increased
sanitation, and a better place in
which to live and work.
——Comparatively few farmers
were among the crowd in Bellefonte
on Monday for the afternoon perform-
ance of the Walter L. Main show, ev-
idence that the great majority of
them were too busy trying to get their
spring crops in the ground to take
time off for a circus.

Stewart Brothers Acquitted by Fed-
eral Court.
In the federal court at Pittsburgh
last week, a jury returned a verdict of
not guilty in the case of Joseph and
Goldman Stewart, of Rush township,
charged with using the mails in a
scheme to defraud. The men were
arrested in February on complaint of
Mike Patrick, who received several
letters threatening him with violence
unless he deposited a sum of money
at a designated place. George Stew-
art, step-son of Joseph Stewart, ad-
mitted having written the letters but
alleged that he had been compelled to
do so by the two men. The lad is only
fifteen years old and he proved such
2 poor witness before the federal
court that his evidence was not deem-
ed sufficient to convict the men of the
charge against them.

Walter L. Main Show Well Attended.
The Walter L. Main show, which
has always been a favorite in Belle-
fonte, proved its ability as a drawing
attraction last Monday, when the big
top was completely filled at the after-
noon performance and a fair-sized
crowd was present during the even-
ing. Both performances were up to
the standard, some of the acts being
especially fine and daring.
The show came to Bellefonte from
Sunbury, reaching here about seven
o’clock on Sunday morning. Instead
of unloading near the passenger de-
pot the cars were shifted to the Amer-
ican Lime & Stone company track
running into the Armor Gap quarries
and the unloading took place on the
state highway, near the show grounds.
This was not only much more conven-
ient for the show management but
kept all the noise and bustle off the
streets of Bellefonte. However, many
people went down to the grounds to
see the show unload and witness the
putting up of the various tents.
The parade on Monday morning was
the one free attraction witnessed by
a large crowd. The horses, trappings,
cages and wagons were all spic and
span and it proved one of the pleas-
ing spectacles of the show.
A Happy Family Reunion.
A rather unique family reunion took
place at the home of Mr. and Mrs.
Harry E. Clevenstine, over the City
bakery, on Tuesday afternoon and
evening; unique because of the fact
that while Mr. and Mrs. Clevenstine
have never been blessed with any
children of their own they played dad-
dy and mamma to a number of boys
and girls during their occupancy of
the Pruner Orphanage and so well
did they live up to the adopted rela-
tionship that every one of the young-
sters of those days are now young
men and women widely esteemed in
their home localities. And that they
continue to revere their foster “par-
ents” is evidenced by the fact that
every one of them made it a point to
attend the reunion. hr
The gathering took place during
the afternoon which was chiefly de-
voted to an exchange of greetings,
ete. At six o’clock dinner was served
and eighteen people sat down at one
large table laden with every good
thing imaginable. In the centre of
the table, an immense cake bearing
the date “May 20th, 1924,” in icing,
formed the big decoration. And such
a happy time! Originally there were
three girls and three boys. Two of
the young ladies are graduate nurses
but one forsook her calling for a hap-
py matrimonial venture, while the
third is also married. Two of the
boys are still in the Clevenstine home
while the other one is now home on a
furlough after a cruise in the West
Indies as a sailor on the U. S. ship
Wyoming. Those who were present
at the gathering included Mr. and
Mrs. H. E. Clevenstine, Miss Bertha
Haverstine, of the Rahway (N. J.)
hospital; Mr. and Mrs. M. F. Robbins,
of Tyrone; Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Por-
taris, with their baby Billie, of Coal-
port; Bruce Wilson and Stearl Gun-
sallus, at home, and Harry Peters, of
the U. S. navy. Other guests were
Mr. Clevenstine’s mother, of Hublers-
burg; Mrs. Nitschman, a sister of
Mrs. Clevenstine; William Weiler,
wife and son, formerly of Hanover,
and Rev. Dr. and Mrs. A. M. Schmidt.

{A Serious and Expensive Community
| Problem.
|
i
Edward Parks, fifteen years of age,
who was committed to Glens Mills
about five weeks ago by Judge Quig-
ley and who disappeared from his
home at Mrs. Harry Turner’s before
he could be taken there, was found by
i Sheriff Taylor, Tuesday night, hiding
in the home of his grandfather, James
i Parks, in Brown Row, Bellefonte.
| Two years ago when Edwards
mother was committed to the home
for incorrigible women at Muncy, her
four children were taken in charge by
the Children’s Aid society and Ed-
ward was placed with Mrs. Turner,
where he had the best home he had
ever known, was well clothed, sent
regularly to school and Sunday school
and was on a fair road to become a
respectable young man. His grand-
parents, not contented with seeing the
boy happy and well cared for, did
everything possible to lure him back
to them and finally connived to have
him run away, which he did the night
after his hearing before Judge Quig-
ley. In company with his uncle, he
walked to Beech Creek, arriving there
at three o’clock in the morning and
‘remained until last Sunday night
when he returned to Bellefonte and
:was in hiding at his grandparents’.
Sheriff Taylor had traced his where-
abouts to Beech Creek, thence to
Bellefonte and Tuesday evening went
out at ten o’clock to the Parks home
in Brown Row. The grandparents
stoutly denied that the boy was in the
i house but sheriff Taylor and chief of
police Dukeman searched it and found
Edward up stairs in bed with his un-
cle. He was arrested and taken to
jail and will be taken to Glens Mills
next week.
The happenings in the Parks family
in the last two years have been—Sa-
rah and Anne sent to Muncy, later
' transferred to Laurelton; William and
Edward, illegitimate sons of Anne,
sent to Glens Mills; Jim, brother of
Anne, sent to the penitentiary for
three years for stealing, Hoag,
another brother, recently before the
court for stealing. And to the com-
munity it means $800 a year for keep-
ing two boys in Glens Mills, $800 for
keeping two women in Laurelton, the
board of an inmate of the penitentiary
for three years, and the elder Parks
with a son and daughter at large, all
serious menaces. Some notorious
record for one family to attain.
Expensive as it may be to take care
of these people in State institutions,
it is yet cheaper than to leave them
at liberty to corrupt the morals of a
community by stealing, breeding more
of their kind and, probably, most ser-
i ious of all, spreading disease by their
notoriously immoral indulgences. The
proper solution of such problems is
indeed food for serious reflection.
Bellefonte Academy News Notes.
The Bellefonte Academy minstrels
were the big attraction at the Moose
Temple theatre last night, and while
the “Watchman” went to press too
early to give an extended notice of
the performance, we have every rea-
son to believe that the boys made
good the reputation won in past years.
They played to a full house and all
those who were unable to reserve
seats for the initial performance will
have an opportunity to see the show
tonight. Get your tickets early today
so that you will run no risk of disap-
pointment. Immediately following to-
night’s performance the minstrel
dance will be held in the armory. The
Challis Collegians orchestra will fur-
nish the music and there will be danc-
ing from 11 to 3 o’clock.
Academy athletes have had a busy
and successful week. Last Friday the
baseball team, one of the best in the
history of the school, by the way, went
to Bloomsburg where they defeated
the Normal team by the score of 8 to
1. On Saturday they played the
Dickinson Seminary nine, at Williams-
port, winning that contest by the
overwhelming score of 18 to 1.
The Academy track and field team
took a leading part in the interscho-
lastic sports at State College, on Sat-
urday and won the second place silver
trophy cup, scoring twenty-five points
to Harrisburg Tech’s twenty-six.
Welch, of the Academy, broke two
records, the javelin and discus throw,
while Gwinn broke the record in the
hammer throw. Welch was the high
point scorer in the meet, making a to-
tal of twenty points and winning four
first places.
The Academy nine will play the
Pitt Freshmen on Hughes field this
(Friday) afternoon. Game will be
caled at 2:30 o'clock and every fan
in Bellefonte should see the contest.
Nominations for Y. M. C. A. Directors
At a meeting of the Board of Direc-
tors, held on Tuesday evening, the re-
port of the nominating committee for
election of board members was receiv-
ed. The election will be held on
Thursday, May 29th, at the Y. M. C.
A. The following nominations were
presented:
To serve three years: H. M. Mur-
torff, R. B. Tinsley, R. L. Mallory,
John P. Smith, Frank M. Crawford.
To serve two years: John G. Love,
James R. Hughes, Calvin Troupe, W.
J. Emerick, John Payne.
Miss Ruth Garman has return-
ed from her sojourn in Brooklyn and
tomorrow will open her Dim Lantern
tea room at the end of the state high-
way on the road to Snow Shoe. Since
closing the tea room last fall exten-
sive repairs have been made and Miss
Garman is now equipped to take care
of all the hungry and thirsty travel-
ers who find it convenient to patron-
ize the tea room.

burgh, has been among the guests at the
Academy this week, having come in for

Hughes and their families.
—Mrs. Stanley B. Valentine, of Wil-
liamsport, and .her young son Richard

trip west. Their plans are for returning
home this week.
—Mr. and Mrs. M. Ward Fleming, their
youngest child, Winifred Jr.,, and Mrs.
Fleming's mother, Mrs. Donaldson, have
been here for a part of the week with Mr.
Fleming's parents, Mr. and Mrs. W. IL
Fleming. Mr. Fleming drove over each
day to attend court, the family accompa-
nying him at different times.
—Mr. and Mrs. Russel Blair, with Mrs.
Wilbur Baney as a motor guest, left Belle-
fonte Tuesday morning for Harrisburg,
where they were joined by friends for the
drive to Philadelphia for several days of
business and pleasure in the city. Mrs.
Baney, during her stay,
her sister, Mrs. Godshall, in Camden.
—Mrs. E. B. Callaway, who left in Feb-
ruary on her second trip around the world,
expects to land in New York today, called
‘home by the illness of her daughter, Mrs.
Thompson, who is east under the care of
specialists. Mrs. Callaway will spend
some time with Mrs. Garber, at College
Point, and with Mrs. Thompson, before
returning to Bellefonte.
—Mrs. Guy W. Bange, well known in
this community as Mrs. Belle Shaner, with
Mr. Bange and their two sons, Frank
Shaner and Philip Bange, left Hanover last
week on a two month’s trip to the Pacific
coast. Their plans will include a stop at
the Grand Canyon, from there to Los An-
geles, San Francisco, Portland, Seattle,
Yellowstone Park, then wherever their
fancy may lead.
—Miss Hibbs, who had been with her
cousin, Mrs. E. H. Richard for the greater
part of the past year, left last week to re-
turn to Norristown, to open her home
there for the summer. Mrs. Richards’
niece, known to many in Bellefonte as
Miss Margaret Aull, will come here with
her two children in June, to be at the
Richard home for the summer, or while
their new home is being built in Philadel- |
phia.
—Mr. and Mrs. Harry H. Schreyer, of
Chicago, have been spending the week at
the Nittany Country club and visiting
among their many Bellefonte friends, hav-
| ing motored down from Tyrone last Satur-
day where they were guests for several
days of Mr. and Mrs. Robert C. Garman.
This is Mr. and Mrs. Schreyer’s first vis-
it to Bellefonte in eight years and natural-
ly their old acquaintances were glad to see
them.
—Mr. and Mrs. H. D. Otto, of Johns-
town, who had been guests of the latter's
sister, Mrs. Fred Krafts, of north Spring
street, since the preceding Wednesday, re-
turned home last Friday. As Bellefonte
was the home, not so long ago, of both of
them their time while here is necessarily
always too short, for they have so many
friends to see that there is never enough
of it to permit getting around so wide a
circle.
—Jerome Harriman is the name of the
gentleman who looks after the interests of
the press with the Walter L. Main show,
and while he disclaims any lineal connec-
tion with the one-time renowned railroad
magnate, E. H. Harriman, we feel sure
that the latter was no more courteous in
his day than the Main show representative
is at the present time. In fact it was a
real delight to do business with him and
the “Watchman” will look forward to his
return a year hence.
—George D. Fortney, of Harris town-
ship, was a “Watchman” office visitor on
Tuesday morning and it was rather a sur-
prise to learn that he was a witness in a
case in court, because Harris township
people are so upright and law-abiding that
we couldn’t figure out how any of them
would get into court, but it developed that
the case he was a witness on was from
Rush township and not Harris. Of course,
like all farmers, he begrudged the time he
had to be away from home, owing to the
late planting season.
—Mr. and Mrs. Frank B. Krebs, of State
College, with their grand-daughter, Miss
Mary Bell, of Spruce Creek, were among
the Saturday throng in Bellefonte. Mr.
Krebs is employed on the College farms
and gave us the surprising information
that notwithstanding the fact that they
are putting out four hundred acres of
spring crops up there they had all their
oats sowed. Mrs. Krebs has not been in
good health for a year or more and Miss
Bell has made herself a great comfort to
them by taking entire charge of the house-
hold affairs since her grandmother's break-
down.
—1It is not often that we are honored
with a visit by three generations of the
same family at one time. That was our
good fortune, on Saturday evening, when
Samuel Corl, his son Clarence, and the
latter's son Clarence Jr., dropped in for a
little chat, while the wives of the two men
were taking in the sights of the town on
an unusually crowded Saturday evening.
It makes us appear older than we feel
when we admit that we knew grandpa
Corl well when a young man about State
College in the days when that place was
so small that students knew all the folks
in the country about nearly as well as
they knew one another. Grandpa isn’t a
bit older than we are, but it sounds just
a bit queer to find ourselves a contempo-
rary of persons in the catagory of such
venerability. Father, son and the darling
grand child are all together on their farm
near Pine Hall, where generations of Corls
have lived before them and done their part
in developing sturdy, upright citizenship
that has long characterized that section of
the county.
