big spring to see what improvement
can be made on the surroundings at
night.
— The Bellefonte camp, P. O. S.
of A. will hold a big festival at the
old fair grounds tomorrow (Saturday)
evening, with a band concert as a
drawing attraction.
——Don’t forget that tomorrow will
be the day of Miss Marshall’s sale on
Spring street. And don’t forget that
many very old articles of furniture in
splendid condition are to be offered.
Mr. and Mrs. George W. Sun-
day have announced the engagement
of their daughter Magdalene and
‘George Porter Lyon. The wedding as
arranged, will take place some time
next month.
——The condition of Miss Celia
Haupt, who had been ill at her home

time, became so serious within the
week that it was necessary to take her
to the hospital Wednesday.
——G. Edward Haupt has torn
«down the house and barn on his farm
on the top of Purdue mountain and is
moving them to his place along the
“highway below town, where he is pre-
paring to erect a double bungalow.
——A big Ku Klux picnic will be
held on the public school grounds at

——Shingletown, ordinarily a quiet,
peaceful village, has a sensation.
Some six months ago a married wom-
an ran away and going to Oklahoma
spent six months. Recently she re-
turned and her husband took her back.
On Monday night she again left home,
taking with her a number of her hus-
band’s private papers. Where she is
bound for this time is unknown.
The Coburn minstrels that wil!
appear at the Moose next Monday
night built their reputation on the
quality of their solo voices. We have
heard all the big minstrel aggrega-
tions and Coburns, when here last, had
better solo and ensemble voices than
any minstrel traveling and that goes
for everything on the road from the
time of Thatcher, Primrose and West,
Al Fields, I. W. Baird, Hi Henry and
all the rest of them.
Opportunity day, last week,
was a big one in Bellefonte, but op-
portunity is always open to the people
of Bellefonte and vicinity to see the
best motion pictures made, which are
shown at the Scenic every week-day
evening. And if you fail to see them
when opportunity offers you’ll never
have another chance as no old and
out-of-date pictures are shown at this
popular place of amusement. Get the
movie habit and see all of them.
The “Watchman” last week
stated that 1410 children had register-
‘ed in Bellefonte for the annual kid-
dies picnic given by the Elks club at
‘Hecla park, on Thursday, but children
attending from other places ran the
total to 1800, by far the largest crowd
of youngsters ever gathered together
in one place in Centre county. Not an
accident occurred during the day but
the rain in the afternoon was an un-
pleasant feature and some of the kid-
dies got pretty wet before they reach-
ed their homes.
Twenty-five cars, trucks and
wagons lined up at the Bellefonte curb
market on Saturday. Blackberries
and huckleberries are still quite plen-
tiful. Sweet corn is now coming in in
abundance with a good supply of ear-
ly apples. Cucumbers are also very
plentiful. Two men came in on Sat-
urday with about three bushels each,
and both admitted having out one acre
of pickle makers. When they are at
their best they anticipate being able
to pick from ten to twelve bushels
twice a week. Their market for the
cucumbers is Bellefonte and State
College.
Mrs. George T. Brew, of Indiana,
Pa. has announced the marriage of

-grand daughter of the late George W.
Jackson, a former prominent banker
of Centre county, graduated from
Penn State in the August class in the
Houschold Arts department. Leav-
ing here Sunday to go to Indiana,
Mrs. Potter will be with her mother
until Mr. Potter finishes at Penn
State in February.
.As recognition of splendid ser-
vice through half a century the Hart-
ford Fire Insurance Co. tendered a
banquet to William B. Rankin, of this
place, at the Nittany Country club
last Thursday evening. On August
12th, 1876, Mr. Rankin became an
agent of the Hartford and from that
day to thishas been untiring in writ-
ing business for it. Several of the
general agents of the company, all of
the Bellefonte insurance men and a
few of the personal friends of Mr.
Rankin gathered about the banquet
tables to enjoy the feast and express
their felicitations in brief post-pran-
dial talks. The company also pre-
sented its veteran representative with
a gold medal.
SEWER CONNECTIONS
DENIED OUTSIDERS.
Miscellaneous Business Transacted by
Bellefonte Council.
John Lambert appeared before bor-
ough council, at its regular meeting
on Monday evening, and asked what
action council intended taking in re-
gard to his request some time ago for
water and sewer connections to a new
house he is erecting on south Alleghe-
ny street, outside the borough limits.
He also gave council a letter from
Centre county health officer J. L. Tres-
sell regarding the sewer proposition.
Mr. Cunningham
that the Water committee had ex-
plained to Mr. Lambert that he could
have the water on the same conditions
that everybody else outside the bor-
ough got- it. He will have to lay his
own service pipe from the borough
line to his home and then pay the
same rate charged all out of the bor-
ough users. Regarding the sewer con-
nection council had a communication
from N. J. Barrick, district engineer
of the State Board of Health, in which
he said that he was unable to see why
Mr. Lambert should not put down a
cesspool at his new building, as most
of the houses in that section have cess-
pools instead of sewer connection, and
one more will hardly matter.
John Weber, of south Allegheny
street, also asked for sewer connec-
tion. He lives within the borough
and was informed that it is custom-
ary where a sewer extension is asked
for property owners to contribute a
proportion of the expense, which Mr.
Weber protested against doing. He
also asked that south Allegheny street
be put in good repair from Logan
street to the top of the hill. Both
‘matters were referred to the Street
committee.
T. R. Hamilton was present and
made complaint about the condition
of Pike alley and was informed that a
new sewer is to be put down there and
as soon as that work is done the alley
will be fixed.
John Lambert asked that a firepiug
be placed on south Spring street and
was informed that the Water commit-
tee intend placing one there in the
near future.
A representative of a “stop and go”
traffic signal was present and present-
ed a proposition to install his system
in Bellefonte, but as council was not
much interested the matter was re-
ferred to the Fire and Police commit-
tee.
A communication was received from
the Undine fire company expressing
the members’ appreciation of council’s
donation of fifty dollars toward the
company’s expense of attending the
firemen’s convention in Tyrone.
A communication was received from
borough engineer H. B. Shattuck
stating that he had given a street line
for the new wall to be erected along
the Catholic cemetery, and defining
the location of the line. :
A communication was received from
the Signal Automatic company rela-
tive to its
and the same was referred to the Fire
and Police committee.
The Street committee reported dig-
ging a ditch for new sewer on Curtin |
and Armor streets.
The Water committee reported the
collection of $21.20 for the installa-
tion of a meter at the Charles Tabel
nursery on Halfmoon hill; $19.27 from
Caldwell & Son for sewer connection
and repairs and $12.00 on 1924 water
tax.
The Finance committee asked for
the renewal of a note for $3,000 and
a new noe for $1,000 to meet current
bills.
Mr. Cunningham stated that he had
consulted with Mr. Bailey, of the Key-
stone Power corporation, regarding a
new contract for electricity for pump-
ing water and said that that gentle-
man suggested entering into an
agreement for one year which would
give council an opportunity to know
just what the cost for pumping will
be under the revised charges. While
it is apparently evident that it will be
higher than under the old agreement,
with the new pump throwing 225 gal-
lons a minute more than the old, the
apparent difference is not going to be
very great, but a year’s test should
be made before a long contract is en-
tered into. The matter was referred
back to the Water committee to have
the agreement put into concrete form
for presentation at the next meeting
of council.
Bills aggregating $904.45 were ap-
proved for payment after which coun-
cil adjourned.
Daley Justice Died Suddenly at Centre
County Hospital Yesterday.
John Daley Justice, who last week
fell at the Logan’s camp up Spring
creek and broke his left leg, died very
suddenly and unexpectedly at the Cen-
tre County hospital about 11:30
o'clock yesterday morning. Dr. Gal-
braith, a bone specialist of Altoona,
came to Bellefonte to assist in reduc-
ing the fracture and while he and local
physicians were manipulating the
limb prior to setting the bone he ex-
pired. The cause was probably a re-
leased embolism. He was about 50
years old, a son of Lowery Justice, of
Coleville.
He is survived by his father and the
following brothers and sisters: Dew-
ey, of Coleville; Miss Mary, of Belle-
fonte, and Edward, of Altoona. The
body has been taken to the home of
his brother Dewey, but no arrange-
ments for the funeral have been made,
as yet.

Rattlesnakes a Daily Menace to State UNDINE
Highway Engineers.
The work of the Bellefonte corps of
State highway engineers in surveying
the route for the proposed highway
from Lock Haven to Renovo is’ not
performed on a bed of roses, by any
means. The corps is in charge of en-
members is Herbert Bilger, son of Mr.
and Mrs. William Bilger, of Belle-
fonte. As the course of the new
highway will deviate considerably
from the route of the present road the
men are literally pioneers through one
of the wildest and rockiest sections of
. the Allegheny mountains.
i And one of the worst things they
have to contend with is rattlesnakes.
An item going the rounds of the press
last week relative to the annual feast
of fricaseed rattlesnake enjoyed by
State College foresters in camp on
Cherry run above Lamar, stated
that the students had a difficult time
| this year finding enough snakes for
i the feast. If they are still hungering
| for snake meat they might send a del-
| egation to trail the highway engineers
who, in the course of a day’s work, kill
four or more of the big rattlers.
Sometimes they will capture one alive
and keep it a day or so, but usually
the snakes are dispatched forthwith.
The men all wear heavy leather leg-
gings and exercise every possible pre-
i caution, and so far none of them have
been bitten but they have had plenty
of thrills from the venomous reptiles.
Charley Reese Plays Host at a Great
Dinner.
Their name was legion. People
from everywhere gathered at the old
Reese place at “the watering trough,”
on the top: of Snow. Shoe mountain, on
Sunday, to enjoy the dinner that Chas.
P. Reese and his family provided and
prepared. All of the Reese connection
and their friends gathered for the
spread. They were there from as fur
away as Johnstown and Altoona.
Bellefonte contributed many and all
the surrounding communities were
well represented.
The dinner was in the nature of a
harvest home affair because it cele-
brated the completion of the picking
of the berry crops on Mr. Reese’s fruit
farm further south on the mountain.
And such food! They had roasted
whole lambs, pigs, chickens and hams
in the old “out-oven.” All were brown
and crisp as a nut with the juices that
had been held in them by quick sear-
ing. Every vegetable, salad and
chow-chow known of was on the ta-
bles and then there was water mellon,
ice cream and fruits. The tables
groaned at first because they were so
full and the diners, afterwards, for
the same reason. v
Mrs. Ralph Edmiston, of this place,
whom everybody seemed to know’ as
“Nell,” was the deft managress for
her father and mother and that kept
i things moving so pleasantly that it
| was a day of days for all those fortu-
inate enough to have been there.
. Five Men Have Narrow Escape in
Truck Runaway.
Shortly after the noon hour, on
| Tuesday, five men in the employ of
. Humphrey Bros., contracting plaster-
ers of Altoona, completed a job at
| Clarence and left for their home in a
i big White truck. Coming down the
i mountain the driver threw the ma-
| chine out of gear and coasted down
‘the concrete highway, but the road
| was slippery from the hard rain and
the heavy truck gradually increased
{its speed until it got beyond the
| driver’s control.
i The driver, however, stuck to the
wheel and applied the brakes, but the
latter would not hold and the heavy
‘truck swayed from one side of the
road to the other until just above the
Dim Lantern when it struck one of
the guard posts headon. Two of the
men were thrown fully fifty feet over
into a field, while the other men stuck
to the truck. The men thrown were
naturally bruised and pretty badly
shaken up but suffered no broken
bones and apparently no serious in-
! juries. The Emerick Motor Bus Co.
pulled the truck into their garage in
Bellefonte for repairs.
Sim Baum Family Have Miraculous
Escape in Auto Accident.
Driving toward Bellefonte on the
Bald Eagle highway about noon, on
Sunday, Mr. and Mrs. Sim Baum, with
their daughter Mary, met with an ac-
cident that might have cost them all
their lives.
They had reached a point about a
mile east of Port Matilda when a car
directly in front of them stopped sud-
denly in the middle of the road. Mr.
Baum was traveling rather fast and
it took quick thinking to see a way
out of smashing into the stopped car.
The only way to avert this was to try
to get past, which he did. His Frank-
lin ran off the concrete into the soft
earth, careened against a bank and
turned, wheels up, in a field.
The daughter was first to crawl
from the wreck. She was unhurt. Mr.
and Mrs. Baum were both scratched
a bit, but suffered no serious injuries.
Their car was badly wrecked.
The thirty-five fresh air chil-
dren who spent two weeks in Belle-

youngsters on the homeward journey.

plosives, such as gasoline, kerosene,
etc., must be equipped with some de-
