Centre County Official Count Shows
Few Important Changes.
The official count of the vote cast
at the Centre county primaries on
May 18th was made at the county
commissioners’ office on Friday and
Saturday. At the request of friends
of both Beidleman and Fisher Charles
F. Cook was present as a witness to
the correctness of the vote of these
two candidates for Governor on the
Republican ticket. In the count Fish-
er lost five votes from the totals pub-
lished in last week’s paper, account-
ed for by an error in transcribing the
triplicate sheet in one district.
The returns also showed that Chase,
Republican, got the Prohibition nom-
ination for Congress, he having re-
ceived 35 votes to Kramer's 17, while
A. C. Thompson, Democratic candi-
date for assembly, got 15 prohibition
votes to 7 for J. Laird Holmes.
In addition to being elected county
chairman on the Republican ticket W.
I. Fleming was also chosen chairman
of the Socialist party.

Penn State Seniors to Entertain Par-
ents.
Members of the graduating class
of over 500 at the Pennsylvania State
College are making special prepara-
tions for the entertainment of their
parents during commencement week,
June 11-15. The character of the
commencement program has been
changed slightly from the routine of
recent years so as to make it unusu-
ally attractive for the families of
graduates, especially during the last
three days.
Announcement of the baccalaureate
and commencement speakers has just
been made by Judge H. Walton Mitch-
ell, president of the board of trus-
tees. The Rev. Dr. Maitland Alex-
ander, pastor of the First Presbyter-
ian church of Pittsburgh for the past
twenty eight years, and president of
the board of Princeton Theological
Seminary, will deliver the baccalau-
reate sermon on Sunday, June 13.
Dean Raymond Walters, of Swarth-
more college, formerly at Lehigh Uni-
versity, will be the commencement
speaker of the day.
Bellefonte Loses First Game in Sus-
quehanna League.
Bellefonte lost its first game in the
opening of the Susquehanna league,
last Saturday, and the score was de-
cisive enough that there was no
chance of quibbling. The local team
played Lock Haven on the latter's
home grounds, and was defeated by
the score of 14 to 1. It was simply a
case of stage fright on the part of
the Bellefonte players. The next
game will probably be different. The
Kew-Bees, of Williamsport, defeated
Renovo by the score of 9 to 4. These
were the only games played,
the
STRUBLE.—Jacob B. Struble, a
native of Centre county, died very
suddenly at his home in Oakland, Cal.,
last Saturday afternoon, as the result
of an attack of heart trouble. He
had been in apparently splendid health
and so far as could be learned had no
premonition of the end of his useful
career. Death, according to reports,
was almost instantaneous.
Mr. Struble was a son of Isaiah and
Catherine E. Struble and was born on
the old Struble homestead near Zion.
His preliminary education was re-
ceived in the public schools at Zion
after which he entered The Pennsyl-
vania State College where he grad-
uated as a mechanical engineer with
class of 1889. Immediately
thereafter he went to Pittsburgh
where he accepted a position with the
Union Switch and Signal company,
and by diligent application quickly
mastered the details of the work of
the company with the result that when
the New York subway was built he
was cne of the men sent there to in-
stall the switch and signal system.
The system then in use was the old
style block device and it was while
working there that he and a college
classmate, James M. Waldron, worked
out the system of electrification of
the signal system which was the basis
of the present system in use. They
were successful in having their inven-
tions patented and reaped consider-
able financial reward therefrom. Dur-
ing later years Mr. Struble produced
a number of inventions, all of which
proved valuable.
From New York he was sent to
Boston to install the switch and signal
system on the Boston elevated and
subway, and from there he went to
Philadelphia where he had charge of
the work at the Reading terminal.
After his work was completed in
Philadelphia he was sent to Detroit
and some twelve or fifteen years ago
went to San Francisco as superin-
tendent of the Pacific division of the
company, which included most of the
territory west of the Rockies and as
far north as Seattle, Wash. The offices
of the company are located in San
Francisco but Mr. Struble lived across
the bay in Oakland.
He never married and his only im-
mediate survivors are one brother and
a sister, Howard and Miss Mary Stru-
ble, on the old homestead, near Zion.
The remains are being brought east
for burial at Zion but the exact time
for the funeral will not be decided
upon until they arrive.

where he was principal of schools for
thirteen years. Resigning he took a
course in dentistry and practiced that
professien up until a few years ago.

of the Civil war and also wrote a

during the day he accompanied one
of his grand-children out to the pas-
ture field to bring in the cows. He

MANY RECORDS FALL
IN COUNTY TRACK MEET.
Bellefonte Ties State College in Class |
A. Snow Shoe Wins Class B.
The sixth annual Centre county
track and field meet held on Beaver
field, State College,
proved the fastest ever held by high
school athletes. Fourteen new records
were established and three others
equaled.
out tied with State College notwith-
standing the fact that one of the
school’s best point makers, Jim Mc-
Cullough, was down at Lewisburg
taking part in the contests of the
State interscholastic athletic associa-
tion, where he won first in both the
100 and 220 yards dash, thus becom-
ing the only High school athlete in the
State to win two championships. Had
McCullough gone to State Bellefonte
would easily have won the meet. As
it was “Dutch” Waite captured the
100 and 220 dashes.
In Class B Snow Shoe won out by
a safe margin over Millheim. The
stellar individual performer in the
meet was Detwiler, of Rebersburg,

Bellefonte Academy Minstrels Drew a
Crowded House.
A crowded house greeted the Belle-
fonte Academy minstrels in their an-
nual appearance at the Moose Temple
theatre, last Thursday night, and the
general opinion was that it was one of
the best shows ever given by the
Academy boys. The music, dialogue
and jokes in the first part were new
and original, while the dancing and
other specialties in the second part
were exceptionally good. Mr. Hughes
took the minstrels to Rockview on
Monday evening and gave an enter-
tainment for the benefit of the in-
mates at the penitentiary. The per-
formance was much appreciated.
Dozens of automobiles passed
through Bellefonte on Sunday the oc-
cupants of which carried large bou-
quets of wild honeysuckle, plucked
from bushes growing on some man’s
land on the mountains, and we nat-
urally wondered if the pickers had
secured permission from the owner
to break off the branches or whether
they had unthinkingly or wilfully dis-
regarded the law which specifies a
punishment of twenty-five dollars
fine for plucking wild flowers on for-
est land without permission of the
owner. Such, however, is the case
and while ninety men out of a hun-
dred may never offer any objection to
strangers helping themselves to the
flowers there may be some who will
object and invoke the aid of the law
in enforcing punishment,
