PARAMOUNT PRESENTS
“Jesse James”
In Eight Massive Reeds.
WITH
FRED THOMPSON NORA LANE
MARY CARR MONTAGU LOVE
“Jesse James” is not a Western, as the
name is ordinarily used. It is the
authentic record of one of the most amaz-
ing characters in American history. It
has dash, marvelous horsemanship and
some hair-raising stunts, but it also has
a dramatic story as beautifully told us
“The Vanishing American.”
Positively as good as “The Covered
Wagon” ever dared be. Also a good two-
reel Comedy.
Admission, 15 and 35 cents.
Matinee Saturday at 2
All school children will Ya admitted for
10c at this matinee only.

= MILLER —On_ Thanksgiving - i
Levi A. Miller, of Bellefonte, received
the sad news of the death of his
brother, Jacob D. Miller, at his home
in Lincoln Centre, Kan., at the ad-
vanced age of 89 years, 5 months and
24 days.’
He was a native of Centre county
and was born and grew to manhood
at Pleasant Gap. As a young man
he taught school four or five years,
then opened a store at the Gap, at
the same stand now occupied by the
Noll Bros. store. He conducted the
store a few years then sold out to a
Mr. Stine, of Buffalo Run, and com-
ing to Bellefonte purchased the sta-
tionery store of George Livingstone.
In the meantime two of his warm,
personal friends, Col. W. W. Brown,
who for a number of years edited
the Bellefonte Republican, and Boyd
Hutchinson, both prominent attorneys,
had gone west and located in Lincoln
Centre and they induced Mr. Miller
to go west and resume teaching.
Selling his stationery store to H. Y.
Stitzer he headed for the setting sun
and in the early years of his resi-
dence in Kansas acquired quite a rep-
utation as a teacher. He also read
law, was admitted to the bar and be-
came an able practitioner. A staunch
Republican in politics he at one time
held the position of secretary of the
Senate. He also filled with great
credit several positions under the
United States government.
While living at Pleasant Gap Mr.
Miller married Miss Mollie Lonebar-
ger, who died some years ago. He
leaves, however, a family of three
sons and four daughters, all in the
west, as well as two brothers, Levi A.
Miller and George W., both of Centre
county. Burial was made at Lincoln
Centre, Kan.
