:antine card on the Taylor property,
.on Spring street, in which H. C. Mc-
Kinley, 36 years old, a Pennsylvania
railroad brakeman, is ill with diph-
-theria. - The case is a little unusual,
.as it is very seldom that a person of
-that age contracts that disease.
—Mr. and Mrs. Forrest L. Bullock
.called off their public sale yesterday
.and cancelled their trip to the Pacific
«coast. Almost at the last minute cer-
tain contingencies developed which in-
fluenced them to a decision to remain
in Bellefonte, "hence they will con-
tine to make their home here, and Mr.
Bullock will operate his shop, as us-
ual.

ner given at the home of his parents,
Mr. and Mrs. McClellan Rossman, in

Writing from Akron, Ohio, to
renew her subscription. Mrs, E. E.
Bucher says: “I have seen a reader of
the Watchman eyer, since I was a
Young girl and that is quite a long
fime ago, as I am now seventy-six
years old. I was born and raised in
“Pine Grove Mills and the Watchman’
comes to me. every week as a letter
of news from my old home town and
Centre county. I couldn’t think of
doing without it, no matter how you
pile it up.” :
—Only one more week until
Thanksgiving day but in the mean-
time Bellefonte's leading movie show,
the Scenic, continues showing the best
class of motion pictures put out by the
leading studios in the United States
and abroad. Big specials are being
booked by manager Leo Toner right
along so that patrons of this popular
- place of amusement are always sure
of :seeing the finest and most interest-
ing pictures made. Get the movie
habit and be a regular.

"Tuesday’s election there were twenty-
‘four women candidates, only six of
‘whom were elected and eighteen ae-
“feated. Those elected include two
judges of election, one inspector, two
township auditors and one school di-'
rector.
——The announcement, last week,
of the removal of the district state
highway offices from Bellefonte to
Clearfield the first of the year creat-
ed. considerable consternation among
the various office employees, all of
whom realize that if they want to hold
their jobs it will mean flitting to
Clearfield. This will not be a very
difficult undertaking for the unmar-
ried. members of the force, or those
married ones who do not own property
in Bellefonte, but for those who have
homes here it will mean both a mental
and physical wrench of no small pro-
portion. And a state employee’s job
is one of the kind that has always
# degree of uncertainty attached to it.

The Exchange at the Hat Shop.
The exchange which Miss Cooney
is conducting at the Hat Shop is prov-
ing quite an advantageous medium for
persons having articles for sale.
Purchasers have been found for
many things that could only have been
sold otherwise at considerable invest-
ment of time and in advertising.
The exchange serves a very useful
purpose in a convenient way and all
are urged to take advantage of it.
Remember, that Wednesdays are
set aside for the sale of food stuffs
and next Wednesday, the day before
Thanksgiving, there will be special
foods for the proper celebration of
that festal occasion.

—H. S. Moore has closed his iron
and steel fabricating plant, near
Pleasant View, for the winter.
Bird Season Closed Tuesday, Bear ;
Season Opened Wednesday.
Tuesday marked the end of this
year’s hunting season for pheasants
and wild turkeys and the kill of both
kind of birds was the best in some
years. Wild turkeys were fairly
‘plentiful in all mountainous sections
and while it is impossible to give an
accurate number of the turkeys kill-
ed, it is estimated that more than one
hundred of the big birds were brought
in by fortunate hunters. And, accord-
ing to reports, there are still many
turkeys in the woods, an ample sup-
ply for hatching purposes next spring
providing they weather the winter in
good shape. :
Pheasants, too, were more plenti-
ful this year than for some time, and
a few hunters were fortunate enough
to bag their season’s limit, while oth-
ers got enough for a mess. Squirrel
and rabbits are still lawful game and
will continue in season until Novem-
ber 30th. ;
Bear season opened on Wednesday
and several hunting parties went to
the woods on the trail of bruin, as a
number of bear have been seen during
the past two weeks by small game
hunters. It is said that quite a large
specimen has a den in the Black Hawk
region, on Nittany mountain, and a
party of Centre Hall hunters will at-
tempt to bag the brute. :
E. C. Musser, Chas. Kellerman and
Paul E. Miller, of the West Penn
Power company, went up to Ridgway
to join a bear hunting party in the
wilds of Elk county, an annual event
for the company employees.
It Made One Sick, the Other Well.
The Hon. Clinton N. Howard, who
delivered that remarkable lecture on
“Law Enforcement,” in the Bellefonte
Presbyterian church, last Monday
night, was not a stranger here.
His visit carried us back to 1884
when the electoral vote of the State
of New York was the deciding factor
as to whether Grover Cleveland or
James G. Blaine would be the next
President of the United States. :
It was given to Cleveland and that
Friday morning the front page of the
Watchman looked more like an ad-
vertisement for a poultry farm than
its dignified, well ordered self.
Mr. Howard was in Bellefonte visit-
ing the late Gen. James A. Beaver at
the time. He procured two copies of
the Watchman that morning and
writes that he “took one to Beaver
and it made him sick.” The other he
sent to his father-in-law, who hap-
pened to be one of Pennsylvania’s few
Democratic Senators and was ill at
the time. “It made him well,” Mr.
Howard writes. Ee
Philipsburg Man Commits Suicide on
Sunday Night. Hp
William P. Hudson, a fifty-four
year old carpenter of Phiilpsburg,
committed suicide on Sunday night
time through the left lung and the
second time in the forehead. 'Finan-
cial difficulties is assigned as the
cause.
He shot himself with the revolv-
er of his son, Paul Hudson. He
went there at six o’clock in the even-
ing and borrowed the son’s revolver
on the pretense of wanting to shoot
a dog that had attacked one of his
children. Later in the evening, when
Mrs. Hudson and children went to a
neighbor’s Mr. Hudson went to the
second floor of his home and took his
life. . Mrs. Hudson found the dead
body when she returned home.
Solts’ Rheumatism Cure.
James Solt, formerly a resident of
Bellefonte and now living in Wil-
liamsport, has patented a compound
which he claims will either cure or
relieve many cases of rheumatism,
lumbago, and neuritis.
In the most severe cases, he says, a
few week’s use of ‘his remedy will ef-
fect surprising results, as it cures
very quickly.
It is applied externally, night and
merning, and dissipates pain and sore-
ness almost like magie.
You can get two bottles in a nice
box for one dollar if you write James
Solt, 726 Main street, South William-
sport, Pa.
Highway Patrol After Bad Brakes.
This week the state highway pa-
trolmen are paying special attention
to the brakes on motor cars. Three
extra officers are on auty here and
all cars are being stopped for inspec-
tion. >
Both the foot and emergency brakes
are being examined and if either are
found to be extremely bad the owner
‘is reported. In cases where they are
only moderately efficient the owner
is given opportunity to have them ad-
justed and report to the nearest sud-
station for re-examination.
———A handsomely illustrated folder
that has reached this desk from Se-
attle, Washington, shows recent work
by the Beezer Brothers, architects of
that city and San Francisco. Many
striking buildings are shown and it
would seem that the former Bellefonte
boys are building monuments to them-
selves all along the Pacific coast. Cer-
tainly many of the exhibits exemplify
their thought that it is “only when
the idea of beauty is added to that of
use does a structure take its place
among works of architecture.”
! Bellefonte High Defeats * Lewistown '
Backed by ceveral hundred boosters
the Lewistown High school football
team came to Bellefonte last Friday
for an Armistice day game with
Bellefonte High. Because of it being
a holiday one of the largest crowds
ever assembled on Hughes field was In
evidence, and the local fans got the
worth of their money, as Bellefonte
came off victorious by the score of 21
to 0. The Bellefonte team put up a
classy game with the result that their
goal line was never seriously threat-
ened.
Early in the game Heverly made
the first touchdown for Bellefonte
which resulted in a stiffening of the
Lewistown defense and there was no
more scoring during the first half.
In the third period both Crust and
Moerschbacher went over for touch-
downs. Harnish kicked the three
goals which accounted for the 21
points. In the fourth period more
than half of Bellefonte’s players were
second string men, who were also able
to hold the Lewistown team from
scoring.
During the game Bellefonte made
fifteen first downs to three for Lewis-
town. Spectacular features of the
game were two runs by Heverly, one
for 45 yards and one for 40. Crust
and Confer also starred for Belle:
fonte while the team work of every
player was commendable. The Lewis-
town backfield put up a good game but
were outclassed by Bellefonte.
Bellefonte has played six games so
far, winning five of them by decisive
scores and playing a no score game
with Tyrone. So far they have tal-
lied 152 points to 30 against them. To-
morrow afternoon Juniata High will
be their opponents on Hughes field,
which will be the last game before
the contest with Lock Haven on
Thanksgiving day, a game the sup-
porters of the Bellefonte High want
to see them win.
New York University Tied by Penn
State.
One of the most spectacular foot-
ball games ever played on Beaver
field, State College, was that on Sat-
urday with the New York University,
which resulted in a 13 to 13 tie score.
Twelve thousand Pennsylvania day
visitors and football fans were in at-
tendance, the crowd including many
New York University students who
came by train, motor bus and auto-
mobile. Included among the number
was the University band of forty
pieces. Those who saw the game
agree that in good, straight football
the University team had the edge on
Penn State, but the latter displayed
more versatility than the New York-
ers.
Two special trains, one; with root-
ers, left Saturday evening for New
York but the band, which came up in
motor busses, came to Bellefonte and
spent the night at the Brockerhoff
house. Before leaving for New York
on Sunday morning, they played two
pieces in front of the court house then
marched to the Bellefonte Academy
and gave a little concert.

Armistice Day, Last Friday, Observed
in Bellefonte.
All business places in Bellefonte
were closed, last Friday, in celebra-
tion of Armistice day, the ninth an-
niversary of the ending of the great
world war. The program, as publish-
ed in the Watchman last week, was
carried out in detail by the Brooks-
Doll post of the American Legion. It
was the first public appearance of the
Legion’s new bugle and drum corps
and the twenty or more members, in
their natty blue uniforms, not only
made a splendid appearance but
played remarkably well and were
complimented with vociferous ap-
plause by the crowds on the streets.
The musicians and the Legion led the
parade of High school students to
Hughes field, in the afternoon, for the
football game with Lewistown High
school.
M. C. Walk, of Port Matilda, Killed
in Auto Accident.
Michael C. Walk, an aged retired
farmer of Port Matilda, was so badly
injured in an automobile accident at
Dix, in Bald Eagle valley, on Satur-
day afternoon, that he died in the
Mercy hospital, Altoona, at 1:25 ‘clock
on Sunday morning. Mr. Walk had
started to walk to Dix on a visit to his
son Frank, and along the way was
picked up by a motorist going in the
same direction and conveyed to Dix.
The driver stopped in front of the
son’s house, but on the opposite side
of the road, and as Mr. Walk got
out and started across the road he
was hit by another automobile and
knocked down.
He suffered a possible fracture of
the skull, lacerated forehead and a
broken right forearm. The driver of
the car stopped and assisted in pick-
ing up the injured man, had him put
in his ear and took him to the hospital

tending the accident his name was not
learned, though it is believed he is a
resident of Jersey Shore.
