The Centre Le Circulation, Over 3600 STREET CARNIVAL BO ZING ? f=] Time Bellefonte Is Having a Hi This Week A BIG TIME 4TH OF Excursion Trains on all Roads—=id- Summer Races at the Fair Ground ~The Streets are Crowded and are Lively This is carnival ally are impressed with the trassforma. tion that has taken place for this par. | pose. The main streets are filled with large tents, in many instances almost blockading the thorcughfares. The Diamond is in the possession of the showmen, as about a dozen large and small tents, pavilions and booths have been erected with glowing pictures on the fronts portraying the wonders to be seen on the inside for a small price of ad mission. On the platforms on the oat side the professional are at work announcing to the eager throngs bow a visit to the interior will repay them doubly for the small expenditure. The speaking tubes carry their stentori- an tomes to the utmost limit of the crowds who hover about. Then there are the booths where you can try your luck throwing rings at canes and umbrel. “barkers’’ las; the mystic wheel that revolves and the pointer stops upon some costly piece of jewelry when your money is not up wriggling serpents, holds the crowds in terror, who the man with the armful of are told of the sights to be seen inside upon paying a small admission fee. The trick donkey, the plantation melodies by a corps of colored musicians, attract others. The merry go-round is in full blast, the bands are playing and other attractions are om hand to interest and amuse. The high diver, down at the Bush House, draws large crowds every afternoon and evening as he makes his leap from a lofty perch to a tank of water. With a fall week of this kind of attractions Bellefonte is having a regu- lar holiday. Ishabitants of the town cen hardly recoguize the place; it is a Midway Plaisasce, like at the World's Fair, only on a smaller scale. The Hatch-Adams people arrived in town last Sunday evening and ou Mon day began erecting their outfit, but the frequent showers interfered with the work so that by evening they were only in shape to open about half of their at. tractions and the rain kept many people from the surrounding country from at. tending. Since then the weather has been more propitious and the attendance is growing daily and the Carnival is in full blast. * The latter part of the week will see Bellefonte filled with crowds that will make it interesting. The 4th of July will bring an immense gathering to the town, which will be augmented by those who will witness the mid summer races at the Centre County Fair Grounds where some of the best horses in Central Penna will be entered for the various races On that day there will be special excar- sion rates over all the railroads leading to Bellefonte, and the crowds will be the largest of the week. ———— want to The Fish Hatchery, Mr. Mechany the state fish commis. sioner, on the hunt for a desirable loca- tion for the establishment for a fish hatchery, was here last Thursday, and accompanied by some of our citizens viewed some of the springs in this vicini. ty. He pronounced the spring on the Hoy farm (late Christ Dale's) and iw grounds, as an ideal location for such a purpose, and in his estimation the most suitable he has inspected. A number of counties are av xious to have the hatch. ery, but he says the choice will fall to either Centre or Franklin county, (none of the other counties filliag the bill), | by the fish commission which has control | of the selection. Mr. Mechann thinks if the selection is made upon its merits, | and there is no ‘‘pull,” Centre county | will get the hatchery, beyond a doubt, | and the location above named will be | | a man connected with the Carnival that chosen, for the central state hatchery, Carnival Races. Remember, when you come to Belle fonte on the 4th, you can attend some fine races at the Centre county fair grounds, Some of the best trotters and pacers in Central Penna. are entered for the races and all the sports will be on deck. The admission will be ouly 25 cents. After the races there will be lots of fun on the streets as the carnival will be in full blast. Others are blowing, but Bellefonte will have the greatest 4th of July in years. Special excursion trains will be run on all railroads.

Having been thwarted in two attempts to end her life, Mrs. Mary Ettinger, of Burnham, swallowed a half-sancer of carpet tacks. The last attempt may cause her death. With her husband and five children, Mrs. Ettinger, who is a preity woman of 40 years, lives at Barn ham. She she has felt coming upon her for some time, and feared that she would, while mentally unbalanced, slay her off spring. So, she says, she left home last week, came here and drank some landasum. Physicians saved her life, and she was incarcerated in the county jail to prevent a second at- tempt. Gradually she regained her mental balance, and on Friday she was released, Scarcely had she left the jail when she ran to the Juniata river and was about to jump from the county bridge when she was halted by a pedestrian. Then she returned home and, in the presence of her 7.yearold daughter, swallowed the tacks.
