business and get home the same day.

but many more chairs can be put in if
necessary. The lamps in front of tho
gallery should be raised so as to give
the people a good view of the stage who
occupy gallery seats.

of Sandy Valley, now has good spring
water running into his house and barn.
The water is piped eighteen hundred
feet. D. W. Atwater, the plumber of
Reynoldsvllle, put down the pipe for
Mr. Boner. During the water famine
this summer, when it was with difficulty
Mr. Boner got sufficient water to supply
their wants, the spring that has just
been brought Into use was continually
filled with pure cold water. A water
ing trough has also been put In near
Mr. Boner's barn for the benefit of the
public.

Block, of Hotel McConnoll, was asked a
few questions they were all discharged.
The law provides for but two election
days in a year on which bar-rooms are

A Word Defined.
Several weeks ago In speaking of a
girl who weighed one hundred and
eighty-five pounds when ten years old,
we said she was a monstrosity. For
the benefit of those who are not familiar
with the word and are making a fuss
alwut its being used in that case,
we quote Webster on the word.
Monstrosity: out of the common order
of nature, unnatural; enormous; huge;
extraordinary; wonderful. There are
other definitions given for the word.
Come by Express.
Congress having passed laws prohib
iting the use of the malls to lotteries,
the Louisiana State Lottery Co. now
make use of Express Companies to
transact their business. Last week
about one hundred and fifty small
packages, containing various kinds of
printed matter for the above named
lottery, was received at the American
Express office at Reynoldsvllle for
citizens of this place. The Lottery Co.
had to pay ton cents for each package
which would not have cost over two
cents by mail.
Not a Fraud.
A. W. Feoly, of Clarion, agent for
Chicago Magnetic Shields, was in
Reynoldsvllle last week and Prof.
Spear, of Chicago, lectured for Mr.
Feoly. The general Impression seemed
to be that it was a fake, and the
attendance at Centennial hall, where
the lectures were given, was not large.
Mr. Feely is an honorable citizen of
Clarion and is not a patent medicine
fraud. Prof. Spear is a good talker and
said many good things, and in consid
eration of the fact that the lectures
were free the hall should have been
crowded every evening.
Died Suddenly.
Prof. W. R. Bratt, well known in
Reynoldsvllle as a dancing master, died
at tho home of his raothor in Allegheny
last Thursday. Ho was thirty-eight
years old and unmarried. Prof. Bratt
and Frank J. Black were very warm
frionds and Mr. Black received a letter
several days before the "Scythe of Tlmo"
performed its unerring work, making
arrangements for the two gentlemen to
attend Cleveland's Inauguration. They
attended the inauguration together
eight years ago. Mr. Black was greatly
surprised to hoar the sad news, as he
did not evon know that the Prof, was
sick.
Irish Aristocracy.
Rice & Abbott's comedians appeared
last night to a large audience at the
opera house, and if any one went away
dlssatisflod we have yet to hoar of him.
The company is just what it Is claimed
to be, and the performances lrreslstably
funny. Carroll and Kane, the young
Irish comedians, are artists of rare
ability and as laugh provokers have few
rivals. It is worthy of mention that
every act on the program was produced
on the stago. In fact the show is just
as advertised. As mlrth-provokors
they are certainly a success. DuBots
Cornier, Doc. 13. At Reynolds opera
house to-morrow evening.
Nine Snow Storms.
It is a long established rule with the
weather wise and those who forecast
the weather that tho numbor of snows
to occur during the winter is always
detormlnd by the date of the month on
which the first snow falls. As the
first snow fell for the winter of 1892-3
was recorded on November 9th, ("and
the next day it snowed") it necessarily
follows that in accordance with this
rule we are to have nine genuine old
fashlonod snow storms this winter and
before the setting in of spring. This
rule, it is said, is very rarely to be
found at fault, and Its accuracy will
be closely watched by many skeptical
persons. Ridgway Democrat.
A Strange Character.
Policeman Mincer arrested the man
yesterday forenoon who has been caus
ing considerable commotion among the
ladies of this town for several weeks by
his suspicious actions. The fellow was
taken to Burgess Hays' office and given
a hearing. He says his name is Tho.
Brown and that he was born in Pitts
burg twenty-four years ago. The man
was put In the lock-up and kept until
this morning and then released on the
promise that he would leave town. He
is heading for Punxsutawney. The fol
low says he was locked up at DuBols one
night. The Burgess offered to get
money and buy him a ticket to Pitts
burg, but he refused to go to the "Smoky
City." The man was poorly clad and
Polioeman Mincer offered, to give him a
better' pair of pants than what he had
on, but the fellow refused and said he
could buy his clothing, and yet he did
not have a cent and had been begging
bread that morning.
Try It One Year.
There are a numWof people in this
town who want tho local pasrs to make
mention of any event that hopixms In
Which they are interested, mention
their names when they go visiting or
announce to tho public that Mr. and
Mrs. Blank are visiting at their place,
and then borrow a neighbor' paper to
see how their names look In print,
overlooking tho Important fact that
they should help support a pajier by
handing In their names accompanied
with one dollar and fifty cents. A good
resolution to make just now is to
subscribe for TllK STAR for one year.
A Winter Scene.
Boll Bros, show window presents a
a pretty appearance. The top and sides
of the window are beautifully arranged
with various kinds of handkerchiefs,
Ac., and the lower part represents a
winter scene on a farm. A little house
stands at the top of the hill and a rail
fence surrounds the farm as seen from
the main road that passes below tho
Held. A little stream runs through the
field which Is frozen over. Everything
is covered with snow. Bobby Swartz
or Merton Cray, the attendants have
been careless and allowed two sheep to
get out of the fold and they are standing
out in the field in the snow and cold.
Look as you pass by. Will Boll,
manager of the store, is quite a genius
In making windows attractive.
The W. R. C.
Mrs. Sarah Schultze, of Lock Haven,
State Inspector for the Woman's Relief
Corps, Inspected the Jefferson county
Corjis last week. She Inspected the
Reynoldsvllle Corps Tuesday night and
says it is ono of the best Corps it has
been her privilege to Inspect. The
Reynoldsvllle Corps is comiiosed of
whole-souled women who take an
interest in tho work and nover grow
weary of well doing, and that Is the
secret of their succoss. Thore are other
Corps that have more woalthy mombcrs
than tho one at Reynoldsvlllo, yet they
do not carry In stock the large supply of
real genuine "good cheer" to be found
in the lodge at this plneo. Willing
hands and warm sympathetic hearts
are not strangers in the W. R. C. here.
A Disregard for Sunday.
One week ago last Sunday the smooth
ice on tho mill dam at Prcscottvlllo had
such an attraction for tho boy with
skates that a hundred, mora or less,
could not resist tho temptation to
smuggle their skates from under the
parental roof and join In disfiguring
the pretty winter face of the mill dam.
Will E. Black, foreman of this office,
gave expression to his opinion of such
desecration in the following lines:
To skat upon thr Ire thoy say
In one delightful fail.
Hut such sport upon the Ralihath day
Ought to lie conceded had.
The laws tn all are very plain,
Then akatlng all refute,
And on thin day from It refrain
To save your good repute.
To keep this day In deep repose;
Such recklem iMiya In their minority
A line upon each one I m pone
Hy thone who tw In authority.
Wink at It.
Tho ordinance passed recently by the
Council to protect the merchants and
people in general of our town from the
installment agents, peddlers and street
fakirs, seems to bo a dead letter. If
tho law 1b no good, why call it a law?
If it will stand tho tost, then why not
enforce it? Several weeks ago a spec
tacle man disosed of his goods on our
streets and paid nury a cent of license,
notwithstanding the fact that officers
wore notified of his presence. For tho
past week several follows have been
"doing" the town with certain articles
on the installment plan. This cannot
bo a secret to some of the officers, and
yet It Is winked at. Is the thing a
farce? Why not see to it that all such
mon pay a license and then expend the
money in buying nooossary things for
the fire companies? Four or five extra
policemen have been appointed to look
after peddlers and street fakirs, but
where are thoy?
Was it Murder t
Curtis Pierce, who mysteriously
disappeared on the Fourth of July and
whose remains were found in a bad
state of decomposition in an abandoned
coal bank on the farm of Wallace
Pierce, in Gasklll township eight or
ten days ago, leaves a mother, brother
and sister at Rathmol to mourn for him.
Was it murder? It is said that when
last seen the young man wore s watch
and chain and had from 1150 to $.'100 in
money ,but they were not found with the
body. The man's throat had been out,
and an ordinary-sized pen knife, with
the largo blado open, was found lying on
his breast. A stiff hat that he wore
when last seen was missing and a cap
was found beside him In its stead. The
Punxsutawney Spirit says: "After
sufficient deliberation the coroner's
jury came to the conclusion that the
deceased had come to his death by his
own hands. Pierce had received an
injury to the spine from the falling of
a limb while at work in the woods,
which affected his mind, and at times
was quite despondent. The theory was
that in one of these fits of despondency
he had gone Into the mine and killed
himself.

Lost Her Nerve.
Miss May Iscman, a young liuly of
Rcynoldavillu who possesses rare musi
cal talent and who ordinarily Is not
easily frightened, lost somo of her
bravory last Wednesday evening when
an unknown man caught her by the
shoulder in their parlor and whirled
her around several times. A small
man had been seen loitering on Hill
street near Mr. Isoman's residence early
in the evening and when any person
walked towards him tho man would
keep out of their way. Mrs. Iseman
went to church and May was left alono,
but several lady friends soon called and
remained until a few minutes before
Mm. Iscman returned. May heard
some ono coming and looked out and
saw her mother at tho front gate and
she stepiicd out, but did not close tho
front door tightly, and the two ladles
walked around to the other side of the
house to see If the suspicious looking
chap was still lingering1 In that neigh
borhood. Returning, May stepped In
first, there being no light in the parlor,
and just as she got into the room a man
grabbed her and whirled her around
rapidly and then ran out at tho side
door. Whether the man had gone Into
the house to immediately steal what
he could find or hide until the family
had retired, of course, is not known,
but evidently the ladles returned too
quickly for him and ho mado a hasty
exit. The following morning there
were foot prints undor all the windows
giving evidence that the fellow had
been examining the house. May is not
quite as brave after night now as she
was before.
An Old Tale.
llradford Era.1
One day this week Captain Alfred
Herd man, of Jefferson county, was in
the city. He is a mining engineer, and
has boon in the employ for a couple of
years of the coal companies operating
in that section. It has been since he
came there a notion of his that
somewhere in the mountains of Elk or
Jefferson counties rock might be found
that would bo discovered to contain
sllvor or other valuable metal. Mr.
Herd man was for a year or two a
mining englnoer In Colorado, and his
experience in the silver country rather
added to his faith In the prospects of
valuable mineral in the counties below
us. A few days ago he heard reports of
a find of silver in the barrens between
Ridgway and DuBols, but being busy
he gave it no attention. Later he was
at Renovo, and there was shown a
piece of rock said to be from the new
discovery. The rock, he sayB, Is a fine
specimen of excellent galena, carrying
silver in unusual quantity. The location
of the whole thing is kept a secret, but
enough hag been said of it to give a
vague idoa of the place of tho find.
Whether precious metals exist in tho
Alleghany mountains In any quantity is
open to doubt. According to all tho
theories of geologists it is hopeless to
look for more than traces of them.
And yot in tho southern states in
practically the same formation gold has
been mined for years and years. One of
the first mints in the Union coined the
gold of the Appalachian mountains at
Dahlonega in Goorgia. One of tho
oldest Indian tradition has been the
existence of load ahd silver in
Northwestern Pennsylvania, and the
old inhabitants all had faith in it. If
what Mr. Herdman saw was found in
thoso mountain thore is plenty more of
it, and Is worth hunting for.
The Small Blaze.
Last Friday night after many of tho
good citizens had gone to bed the cry
of fire! fire! wag sent out on tho chilly
air and soon puoplo were hurrying
along to find tho cause of alarm. It
proved to be an old stable, near Centon
nlul hall, belonging to Peter Snyder.
Thore was nothing in the stable but
some old harness, part of an old sled
and a fow other little articles. Tho
stable was not being used at the time
and the supposition is that a tramp was
lodging thore all night and accidentally
set it on fire or else some one full of more
dovllishness than common sense set It on
fire for pure heinousness. The fire
company soon gained the victory over
the fire fiend. The charred frame of
the stable is still standing as a credit
to our firemen and the good water
supply of the town. No one can stand
by and see the power and force of the
water bore and not fool thankful that
we have such a good protection. We
don't take a back seat for any town
within a radius of many miles when it
comes to water works. There are a
few things, however, for Council to
look after and which noeds prompt
attention. First a good light at the
hose houso and see that it is light every
night, and thon their should be heat in
the building. After a fire on a cold
night It is almost Impossible to handle
the hose because thoy freeze. A tower,
which Is badly needed, was talked of
but it has only "gone up" in talk.
These things would not be very
expensive and are real necessities.
When men are willing to join the fire
company and work hard to save the
property of others, they should be given
all tho conveniences possible without
being compelled to even ask for them.
Then, again, why not have a fire bull?
Our oouncilmun should see to it that
nothing bo left undone to encourage the
fire companies.
