Kaup, passed away | at 3:30 o'clock on Sunday afternoon i as the direct result of a stroke of par- | alysis sustained two weeks previous. | She had been in poor health, however, the past year and had been confined ‘ to bed for four months. : She was a daughter of Josiah an . Amelia Owens and was born in Ben Avon, Wales, on October 5th, 1861, hence was 63 years and 7 days old. i She came to Bellefonte with her par- | ents when but eight years old and this ! has been her home ever since. Early "in life she became a member of the Prsbyterian church and has been a ! faithful attendant ever since. On October 12th, 1882, she married Reuben M. Kaup, who survives with the following children: Mrs. Arthur E. Kline, of Altoona; Mrs. Charles | Corman, of Cresson, and Fred A., of { Birmingham. One son, George RE, | died in childhood. She also leaves these brothers and sisters: Mrs. An- ‘ nie Williams, of Braddock; Mrs. James | Witmer, of Bellefonte; John M. Ow- ens and Mrs. Rose A. Love, of Altoo- na; William M. Owens, of Bellefonte; ' Josiah W., of Swissvale; Mrs. Ella | Gfrerer and Edward R. Ownes, - Bellefonte. | Funeral services were held at her late home on Wednesday morning by her pastor, Rev. William C. Thomp- _ son, after which burial was made in | the Union cemetery. A peculiar coin- | cidence in her passing was the fact | that her death occurred at the exact hour of the ceremony on the forty- | ‘ second anniversary of her marriage. HEATON.—Daniel W. Heaton died on Tuesday of last week at the home ' of his son, Dr. W, R. Heaton, in Phil- 'ipsburg, as the result of general de- bility. ‘He was a son of Michael and Mary Heaton and was born on Marsh Creek July 23rd, 1845, hence was in his eightieth year. In 1879 he mar- ried Miss Sarah Elzabeth Stiver, of of ! it.” The other evening he broke into | Martha Furnace. Immediately fol- the campaign in a speech delivered in ' lowing his marriage he and his wife Washington and distributed by radio | located in Philipsburg where he en- in which he denounced the supporters of LaFollette in true livery stable lan- guage. He said: “Communists, so- cialists, I. W. W’s, malcontents, con- verts of Lenine, Trotsky, Debs and Emma Goldman, people who want something for nothing and individuais with grievances, real or imaginary, have rallied to the support of LaFol- lette.” Inferentially he adds to this list such stupids as can be deceived by specious misrepresentations. The “fish market” style of argu- ment, apparently natural to Mr. Weeks, is bad enough but not the worst break of his radio speech. His reference to the indictment of Sena- tor Wheeler was not only bad form but bad politics. It brings forcefully to public notice the worst crime of the Coolidge administration. Mr. Cool- idge was not President when the Tea- pot Dome oil scandal was perpetrated and to that extent has an alibi. he was President when the Depart- ment of Justice and the Republican National committee framed up an in- dictment against Senator Wheeler in the hope that he might thus be divert- ed, either through fear or favor, and abandon his masterly investigation of Daugherty’s maladministrations. If the friends of President Coolidge are wise they will try to get people to forget about that infamous feature of the present administration. The oil leases which might in an emergency deprive the country of its most vital source of defense was bad enough but it was only a property damage. But the conspiracy in which the govern- ment was an active element, to de- story a distinguished citizen in repu- tation and service, was an atrocity so despicable as to make the perpetra- tors appear inhuman. Secretary Weeks has brought this great crime of which Coolidge must have known, fresh to the public mind.

Eagleville won out over Beech Creek in the contest before the Pub- lic Service Commission as to which | place is entitled to an agency station on the line of the Bald Eagle Valley railroad, and the Pennsylvania Rail~ road company has been directed to maintain an agency station there. A number of years ago the two vil- lages had a like contest and Beech | Creek won out, with the result that a station was built at that place. Last spring D. A, Barlett, of Bellefonte, was promoted to agent at that place and during the summer the station ; building caught fire and burned to the ground while Mr. Barlett was at his home in this place. A box car was run onto a siding at Beech Creek and fixed up as a temporary station for the agent, which was all right during 1 the warm weather but rather cool on frosty mornings. The railroad company claimed there “was not sufficient business at Beech Creek to warrant the rebuilding .of a station at that place and this opened the way for another contest between the citizens of that town and resi- dents of Eagleville as to which place ; was entitled to a station. Several hearings were held before the Public But. gaged in blacksmithing. Two years | later he moved to Morrisdale but at the end of six years gave up black- smithing, moved to Martha Furnace and engaged in farming. During his brief residence at Phil- ipsburg he was instrumental in or- ganizing the United Brethren church of that place and while living at Mor- risdale he also assisted in organizing a church of the same denomination there. When he moved to Martha Furnace he joined the Baptist church and for twenty-five years was one of its deacons. His wife died some years ago but surviving him are one son ' and a daughter, Dr. W, R. Heaton, of Philipsburg, and Miss Virgil B. Hea- ton, of Martha Furnace. He also leaves two sisters, Mrs. Sarah Poor- man, of Bellefonte, and Mrs. Belle Robb, of Avis. ' . Brief funeral services were held at the Dr. Heaton home in Philipsburg at 12:45 o’clock on Friday after which | the remains were taken to Martha Furnace where services were held in the Baptist church at 2:30 o’clock, ' time she had made her home with her daughter at Crafton. In addition to her daughter her only survivor is a half-sister, Mrs. John G. Love, of Bellefonte. The remains will be brought to Bellefonte on the 1:20 p. m. train tomorrow and taken direct to the Union cemetery for burial. i Il PANTON.—Word was received in Bellefonte last week of the death of May Barrett Panton, of Ponce City, Oklahoma, who died at her home in ‘ that place, Thursday, October 9th. Mrs. Panton was the younger daughter of J. M. and Sarah Thomas Barrett, and lived in Wilkes-Barre, until coming here with her sister Lilly and two brothers, Charles and Ed- ward, following the death of her par- ents, to make their home with their mother’s people. As Miss May Barrett, Mrs. Panton grew to womanhood in Bellefonte and through her great popularity was closely associated with all its social life. A member of St. John’s Episco- ' pal church, with strong church affilia- | tions, her personality in the social and . church life here at that time, will quickly recall her very pleasantly to many in Bellefonte. Leaving here a number of years ago to join her brothers in the west, she was married there to Owen Panton, who, with one daughter, Mrs. Claude , Cook, and her younger brother, Ed- { ward Barrett, of Ponca City, sur- ' vive. fl II | REARICK.—Mrs. Amanda Rearick, i wife of John Rearick, of Spring town- ship, died at the Centre County hos- pital on Monday morning as the result I of a stroke of paralysis sustained on | Saturday night while sitting in the i family automobile on the streets of i Bellefonte. | She was a daughter of George and Mollie Breon and was born in Benner township fifty-eight years ago. married Mr. Rearick in 1897 and he i survives with the following children: Miss Mary, at home; Mrs. Wallace Emil, of Spring Mills; Pearl, of Belle- fonte, and Mrs. Jacob Jackson, of Le- mont.

Frederick . Beam, twenty year old Young Man. Smothered to Death in Charles | Hunter - Dukeman Killed on ~ N. Y. C. Railroad. Charles Hunter Dukeman, a native son of Emmett Beam, of Shawsville, | of Centre ‘county and a brother of Clearfield county, was smothered to | chief of police Harry Dukeman, of death in a steel cell in the Philipsburg lockup, early Monday morning, as a result of a fire in the building, and Walter Ralston, of Kylertown, was | overcome by the smoke and is now a patient in the Cottage State hospital, _in Philipsburg. Both young men were arrested on ! the streets of Philipsburg on Satur- | day night on the charge of intoxica- | tion and also driving a car while in that condition. They were placed in the borough lockup, which is in the i basement of the public building. As burgess Todd, of that place, does not | hold hearings on Sunday the young men were kept in confinement all day { and Sunday night. Early on Monday | morning people living in the vicinity | of the public building heard the loud and persistent calling of the men but paid little atention to it until they de- tected cries of distress. | Harry Haines then got out of bed "and went to the public building to see what was wrong and discovered fire in the basement. He had no way of get- ting into the lockup to release the prisoners and the fire alarm would not work. The result was, considerable time elapsed before the firemen were routed out and broke in the door to the lockup. The entire basement was ; so filled with smoke it was almost im- | possible to get inside but Beam was finally dragged from his cell with life already extinct. Ralston was found lying on the floor of his cell covered with a blanket, and this probably saved his life. How the fire originated is unknown, as it was not in any of the occupied cells. Beam, the man who smothered .to death, was twenty years old and - has been living at Tylersville for some time, where he was employed on a lumber job. In addition to his father he is survived by a step-mother, five sisters and one brother. Woman Dies of Burns Sustained While Stirring Applebutter.

This litter was pastured on alfalfa and sweet clover, and in addition were fed mixed chop, middlings, corn and skim milk, which was later supple- mented with tankage. A lot of interest has been shown over the State in this contest and as far as the results have come in this record stands among the highest. Presbyterians Lead in Penn State Student Body.
