Port Matildia Officials Chosen at
Special Election on Saturday.
The special election for borough
officials for the new borough of Port
Matilda, last Saturday, developed the
fact that party lines are not drawn
very tight there when it comes to
choosing home rule officials. At the
primaries most of the candidates got
on three tickets, the Republican, Dem-
ocratic and Prohibition, but when it
came to the election on Saturday
there were plenty of independent can-
didates, and some of them gave the
regular candidates a pretty hard
chase. | The complete returns are as
follows: :

Fire Causes $250,000 Loss in Tyrcne
Tuesday Morning.
Fire early Tuesday morning de-
stroyed the Templeton building,
covering about half a block in the
business district of Tyrone. Value of
the building, which housed a depart-
ment store and several lesser estab-
lishments, was estimated at $250,000.
Several adjacent buildings were
slightly damaged.
Establishments destroyed were the
Woolworth 5-and-10-cent store; the
Gardner Clothing Store, and the
Templeton Furniture Store, all on
the first floor, and the Eureka Shirt
Factory on the second and third floors.
Fire companies from Altoona, Hunt-
ingdon, Philipsburg and Bellwood
were called upon for assistance when
the Tyrone Fire Department found it
was unable to halt the flames.
And the low water supply at the
time of the conflagratiom made the
work of the firemen very difficult to
get the flames under control.
Bellefonte High School Plays.
The presentation of “Clarence” by
the Senior class of the Bellefonte
High school, last Thursday evening,
made a hit with a small but apprecia-
ive audience, The delineation of the
various characters was well executed
by the members of the cast.
The final play for the school year
will be “The Charm School,”by the
glee club on Tuesday evening, June
1st. The plot is woven around a girls
school which was inherited by a young
man, and his efforts to conduct the
same according to the proprieties
cause many comical situations.

American Legion Plans for Memorial
Day Exercises.
At the regular meeting of Brooks-
Doll post of the American Legion, on
Monday evening, detailed plans were
made for Memorial day exercises. On
the coming Sunday, May 23rd, a de-
tail of the post will go to Shiloh and
the Meyers cemetery and hold ser-
vices. On Sunday, May 30th, a detail
will hold services at the Advent cem-
etery in Boggs township.
At 10 o’clock on the morning of the
31st, the Legion, with a color guard.
and firing squad from Troop B, led by
the Odd Fellows band, will march to
the Catholic cemetery and hold regu-
lar memorial services there. Rev.
Father Downes is expected to be the
speaker. :
In the afternoon of the same day, at
1.830 o’clock, is the time set for the

Troop L., fraternal organizations and
fire companies.
At the cemetery the regular Legion
services will be held. Rev. Robert
Thena will be invited to be the speak-
er. The Legion boys have made every
arrangement for decorating all the
graves. Three gross of flags have
been ordered and the usual donation
of flowers will be asked for that day.
In fact the younger veterans propose
to “carry on” in a similar manner to
their ancestors of the Civil war, and
residents of Bellefonte should extend
all the aid possible.
— As an aftermath of the good
performance given by the Academy
ministrels, last evening, the minstrel
dance will be given at the Nittany
Country Club this (Friday) evening
from 9 to 1 o’clock. All friends of the

will please confer with headmaster
James R. Hughes. Excellant music
will be furnished by Noble's orchestra,
of Lewishurg.

Unofficial Returns, Democratic Primaries for Centre Co.
REESE.—That thriving - little
borough of Port Matilda lost one of
its best and most dependable citizens,
on Sunday, in the passing away of
Aaron W. Reese. While he had not
interest in the affairs of his home
community. In fact, at the special
election of officers for the new bor-
ough of Port Matilda, on Saturday,
he was elected justice of the peace,
an office he had filled in the township
for thirty-five years. He passed away
at 11:15 o'clock on Sunday morning.
Mr. Reese was a son of Christian
the old Reese homestead on the moun-
tain above Filmore on May 3rd, 1848,
hence was 78 years and 12 days old.
As a boy he was educated.in the pub-
lic schools of his home locality and
as a young man taught school several
terms. He then went to Pittsburgh
and took a course in the Iron City
business college. Shortly after re-
turning to Centre county he became
associated with Hoover, Hughes &
Co., lumber manufacturers and deal-
ers, of Philipsburg. Two years later
the firm was dissolved and Mr. Reese
then located in Port Matilda. That
was fifty-one years ago, when the
present borough was but a scattering
of a few houses, so that he was virtu-
ally one of the pioneers of the town.
At that place his business interests
have been varied, including lumber,
mercantile, ete. In the early days
of the town almost every male resi-
dent was in’ Mr. Reese’s employ. His
man with whom he had dealings.
Myr. Reese was a sincere member of
the Presbyterian church and a regular
attendant until overtaken by physical
disability. He was a Thirty-third de-
gree Mason, being a member of Belle-
fonte Lodge No. 268, and the Blooms-
burg consistory. In politics he was
Jackson type, and was always a firm
believer in the principles of his party.
One of his pet hobbies was the better-
ment of the public schools and he al-
ways worked faithfully to that end.
Mr. Reese could trace his ancestry
back to 1776 when his paternal grand-

Holstein Bull Association Formed at
State College.
| Dairymen of the State College com-
munity have organized Centre coun-
tys first bull association. The asso-
ciation is made up of four blocks
with three men to a block. The ob-
. ject is to group together and purchase
outstanding bulls of the Holstein
breed. The requirements for a bull as-
sociation are bulls from high produc-
ing ancestry, from a dam who has
made not less than 1000 of butterfat
in 365 days, they must also be of good
type and more or less conform to one
good line of breeding.
This association has purchased
three bulls from the Winithur Farms,
Wilmington, Delaware, which conform
to these requirements. According to
S. J. Brownell, dairy specialist of
State College, bulls of this type in
other associations in the State have

CIRCUS IS BIGGEST.
Ringling Bros. Enlarge Greatest Show
On Earth to Dedicate Mammoth
New York Edifice.
A circus so big that it requires two

top to display its marvels is now head-
ed this way. It is the Ringling
Brothers and Bafnum & Bailey Com-
bined Shows, to give performances at.
Williamsport May 21.
The five rings now used have been
made necessary to present the added
attractions got together in the spring
to celebrate the combined shows first

son Square Garden. This edifice is
the biggest ever built for circus pur--
poses. To fittingly dedicate it the
Ringling Brothers themselves spent.
months in Europe mobilizing the big-
gest circus in history. This same
show that for weeks entertained New:
York’s millions is now on tour under
canvas.
The tournament is as brilliant as in.
the past but has been enlarged by the
addition of such novelties as zebras
and llamas broken to harness and
hitched to gem-studded floats. Wee
baby elephants ride at the tops of
allegorical cars. The menagerie of
more than a thousand animals em-
braces such features as thirteen ele-
phant youngsters with the smallest.
stationed side by side with the biggest
pachyderms in captivity. Another
importation is the largest and hand-
somest tiger of which there is record.
Performing horse acts are now pre-
sented in quintet—a troupe in each of
the five rings. Those elephants who.
are performers appear in similar for-
mation—five herds at one time. The
number of men and women aerialists,
bareback riders, gymnasts and high-
wire performers has been increased
to eight hundred. There are three
hundred and fifty trained horses, two
hundred of which appear in a single
display. One hundred double length
cars are refjuired to handle this gigan-
tic amusement enterprise.
Christy Bros. Trained Wild Animal
Show in Bellefonte May 28th.
wild animal training zebras and
zebrtilas have been taught to perform
tricks and obey the will of their train-
er. Some fine specimens of these an-
imals are with Christy Bros, trained
wild animal show, which will exhibit
in Bellefonte on Friday, May 28th.
For natura] born stubbornness, gen-
eral cussedness and total lack of finer
feelings, the zebra is in many degrees:
American mule, and no more odious
comparison to the detriment of the
wild ass of Asia could be made. The
striped equine has always been the:
stumbling block in the paths of edu-
cators and trainers of beasts and ani-
mals. Many of them, after herculean
and patient endeavor, have given up
in disgust and consigned the convict-
greeable locality, acknowledging that
he was beyond all human understand-
ing. ;
Christy Bros. trainers for many
years concurred in this belief, but
heroic perseverance was finally and
justly rewarded. These circus kings
now have with their great show ze-
bras that give performances which in-
clude everything done by the best
trick horses. Drills and intricate
manoeuvers are accomplished with
precision and correctness. The ani-
mals waltz, two step and curvet in
perfect time with music of the band;
they eat at the table, feign death, play
clown and perform other numerous:
and incredible tricks. And to furth-
er demonstrate the complete control
that is exercised over them, the ze-
bras are harnessed and driven in the
street parade.
Interesting in this connection is the
appearance and presentation at the
time of several zebrulas, or equine
hybrids, the only ones of their kind,
produced by scientific crossing of
full-blooded zebras and Kentucky
thoroughbred horses.
