Mr. Rumsey is s now able to eat solid food and Is greatly Improved in health. The Tyrone Daily Herald of March 13th, contained a long article about Rov. Harvey Griemo Furbay, who preached for the Presbyterian congre gation at Tyrone last Sunday, and who has accepted the call to become pastor of that church. The Herald nays, "the congregation is delighted with their pastor-olect." A Reynoldsville business man was about to go out of his store one day last . week and seeing a pair of overshoes noar the door, forgetting that ho already had on one pair, the gontloman put on the second pair and whon Atwater, the plumber, who was working thore, went to got his overshoes they were gone, ine man am not Know he had on two pair until Atwater wanted to borrow a pair from him. 1 The forty dollar pup that C. F. Hoffman, the jeweler, purchased about two weeks ago has increased in valuo ten dollars and has given satisfactory evidence of bis love for game. Mr. Hoffman had a ten dollar deer rug in . his parlor which had been tanned with the head ou. Hex Gladstone Hoffman gained an entrance into the parlor Sunday unobserved by the family and when discovered he had chewed one , ear off the rug and had It otherwise .badly torn up, henoe his owner has raised . tho valuation ten dollars on puppy. Tho Homo and Foreign Missionary societies of tho Reynoldsville M. E. church had charge of tho evening services in that church last Sunday, which consisted of select reading, sing ing and recitations. Tho church was crowded and tho exercises were all good, but tho program was too long. Tho collection amounted to eleven dollars and twenty-nine cents. Tho ladies of the societies conducted tho meeting themselves, they were not beholden to tho brethren for any assistance. Ira C. Fuller sold the Longview Flour ing Mill at Brookville on the 4th Inst, to W. A. Nealo for $17,000. A stock com pany was formed Immediately with a capital stock of .'10,000 and Mr. Nealo sold out for $20,000 and tho new com pany took charge the following Monday. The new organization will ho known as the Jefferson Milling Company. M. H. Carrier Is president; N. L. Strong se cretary; E. A. Carmalt treasurer, and W. A. Nealo general manager. The Longview is an excellent mill. Its capacity Is one hundred barrels of flour and ten tons of chop per day, and Its storage capacity .10,000 husnels. The scheme for tho seven towns men tioned by the DuBois Cmirirr to work together in securing lecturers for tho season of 1K03-4 seems to bo receiving the approbation of most all the towns suggested. Tho Reynoldsville Lec ture Association has been more fortun ate with its lecture course this past season, financially nt least, than have the associations at Punxsutawncy and DuBois. It is pmbablo that tho asso ciation nt this place will have enough money left after tho fourth lecture, which Is tobe delivered by John R. ('lark on tho 22nd Inst., to engage a fifth lecturer, although four was all that was promised when tho season tickets were sold. Those who witnessed the killing of E. W. McMillen's big ox at Goat City several weeks ago had considerable sport out of it. Tho butcher who was to have been present to blow out tho ox's "light of life." fniled to get there and Jacob Haas said he would kill tho animal. Ho loaded tho gun, took deliberate aim and fired. The ox did not drop, nor even move, but Haas dropped. The demon of a gun worked tho wrong way. Nothing daunted Haas got up and put an extra load Into the gun and this timo when tho smoke had cleared away and the men come out of their hiding places, as they were not sure whether Haas was going to shoot "whom ho looked," or not, tho lifeless carcas of tho ox was stretched on tho ground. A ceremony was crformcd at 7.30 last evening by Rev. E. T. Derr, pastor of tho Baptist church, at tho resi dence of Jacob Booth, on Main street, which united G. B. M. Postlethwrit and Miss Cora V. Booth in tho holy bonds of matrimony. The marriugo was not a surprise. After tho nuptial knot was tied supper was served. A largo number of invited friends were there. Numerous presents were given to the happy couple. Mr. Postlethwnit Is a well-to-do young man who has been an employee of Hopkins' big mill for sometime. Miss Booth mudo her homo with her parents in this place whoro she Is well and favorably known and Js quite a worker in tho Baptist church. They expect to abide in our midst. Tho STAR joins with their friends in wishing Mr. and Mrs. Postlethwalt suc cess in their murrled life. A largo crowd was at the A. V. R'y station when the ono o'clock train came In Monday to get a glimpse, if possible, of a fellow who has beeomo noted In certain circles bocauso ho has boon successful In ono or two prism fights. Tho pugilist pulled down two window shades in tho car ho occupied so that the anxious crowd of boys and men on the platform could not see him, but many were not golcg to be disappointed and they wont into tho car to see tho gentleman of honor, with a dis before it, while others climbed onto tho rear platform of tho car. The train started before all the "sight seers" got off and one fellow, in jumping off, fell on tho broad of his back and came Very nearly rolling under the train, but what is the odds in risking life when it comes to seeing a follow, who looks like a man, whose highost ambition is to be a great fighter. Prize fighters to-day soon be come rich. There are a few people in Reynolds ville who send all their printing out of town to have done. DuBois, Brook ville, Big Run and othor places get the work to do. Tho prices aro vory little cheaper in some casus, whilo in others it is just the same as it can be done at home for. Why not assist in building up our own town and keeping up the enterprises that spring up hero. No one will gainsay the fact that a printing office is a great blessing to a town, then why not patronize them ? Peoplo will talk about certain towns not far from here in anything but friendly terms, and yet th'ey will keep up tho printing offices of that place. We are here to make a living, if possible, and to boom Reynoldsville, not a neighboring town, and ask that we receive the patronage of our business men, at least get a chance to bid on the work to be done. We do not want to ask exorbitant prices, nor do we, but we want to live and let live. We are glad that the amount of printing sent to other towns is gradually getting smaller. WILL BE ABANDONED. Tht Bodies In Plessant Avenue Cemetery to be Lifted. A pleco of land on tho hill south of town belonging to tho Central Land and Mining Co. was cleared off several years ago with the view of making a new cemetery, which wns known us the Pleasant Avenue cemetery. J. J. Sut ter, agent for the alxivc namod compa ny, gave permission for eight graves to be dug there and as many bodies cov ered beneath its sod. with tho under standing, however, that said bodies would bo removed by tho parties In terring tho same at their exonso at any tlmo they were requested to do so. Tho Board of Directors of the C. L. & M. Co. held a meeting nt Philadelphia Inst week, and according to the action of that meeting it will bo almost an Im possibility to convert that piece of ground Into a cemetery, then-fore, Mr. Sutter has decided to give It up and all parties Interring loved ones there will bo requested to remove them. Tho company will sell tho land for tho pur pose of a cemetery, but they want to roservo all rights of mining thereunder, and enter upon the surface, If necessary, In conducting such ox?rattons. Mr. SutU-r supposed, of course, that It was virtually settled that tho land would bo sold by tho company for tho exclusive uso as a cemetery, and wns led to be lieve so by tho company and, although tho bodies were burled there with tho proviso that they would bo lifted If re quired, yet Mr. Sutter had not tho least Idea that tho request would cvor be made, but It has so turned out thnt the request will bo made and the land aban doned for the purpose of a cemetery. A Baker's Dozen. Several years ago a platform was built In the rear of Allx-rt Reynolds' opera house for the purpose of raising the back seats. An opening was left largo enough for a boy or a small man to get under tho platform and it was under this platform that Chlef-of-pollce Addtosporgor found a nest of small boys last Wednesday night. Tho nolso they made and several other little unmen tionable tricks they done attracted tho attention of J. S. Morrow, the mer chant, whose store is in the opera house blix-k, and ho went tip stairs to have the matter Investigated. Mr. Addles perger suspected that there were boys under the platform and he went to tho entrance and let his voice loose into the darkness below, but no answer camo lHck and "not n creature was stirring, not even a mouse." Addlcspcrgcr went down tho hole and soon appeared with two or three boys and they gave some of their "pards" away and the police man kept descending Into tho darkness und coming up with ono or two boys until thirteen young chaps were packed into the ticket office. Mr. Reynolds was lenient with tho hoys and after get ting some good advioo they were al lowed to run home. The Ixiys say that Sam. Wrny, tho janitor, knew they were there and made them promise to keep quiet. The scheme was to hldo there until tho crowd gathered and then crawl out and witness tho show. Jefferson County Jail. Through the kindness of Sheriff Young wo were permitted to visit tho county jail at Hrookvlllo Inst week. Tho jail contains twenty cells, each cell has two "hunks" In It. The rooms are rather small for two poi-sons, but Sher iff Young found it necessary to put two In a cell once slnco ho hns been sheriff, thero were twenty- eight lodgers In the jail at that time. Tho prisoners aro well fed, but their rixim for excrciso is limited. Their only pass time is card playing and chewing tho wood common ly known as tobacco and expectorating the saliva Into tho cuspndorcs. Tho sheriff says ho dix not Ixiltovo in abus ing a man because ho is a prisoner, con sequently they aro well cared for, all things considered. There aro ten pris oners now in this jail, three of them aro boys in thoir toons who were arrested for robbery and aro likely to got a trip to tho penitentiary. The sheriff says there are some sad scenes to witness when husband, wife, or children bid those good bye who remain behind tho bars. First National Bank. From the Phlludlphla Daily Indicator wo glean the following: "Application to organize a National bank has boon filed with tho Comptroller of the Cur rency by the First National Bank of Reynoldsville." John H. Kauehor, who is the prime mover in getting a First National Bank here, went to Philadel phia Saturday evening and will bo gone ten days or two weeks and on his return arrangements will be consummated for getting the bank in operation. We have been reliably informed that the gentlemen Interested in thoorganlzation represent considerable capital. There are various rumors in regard to tho location, &o., of the proxjsod bank, but at this writing we aro unable to get any facts and only know that Reynolds ville is to have a National bank, and that before many days. Will Resign Sunday. A congregational meeting will bo bold in the Presbyterian church next Sunday morning to accept Rev. Harvey Graime Furbay's resignation as pastor of the Reynoldsville Presbyterian church. A Board of Trade Pays. Last woek's Issuo of the Rldgway Ad mentr contained over a half column article about" tho work done by tho Board of Trado of that town for 18!l2. As a result tho town now hns the Stand ard Axe and Tool Works, which started out with a capital stock of $10,000 but has since been Increased to $."0,000, and the factory will soon give employment to over a hundred men at gtxxi wages. Tho large engine works of the J. H. McEwen Manufacturing Co. will bo In operation In a few weeks and will give employment at tho start to two hundred men, with bright prosjxicts for a largo growth. Tho Adroralr'n article closes as follows; "Theso two Industries constitute tVo work of our Board of Trade for the year 1802, and who will say that It was not a grand work? Now, for Let's nope that the Board may bo even more successful than In Its first year." Is a Board of Trado any benefit to a town ? Wo have a number of men hero who think a Board of Trade would bo a great blessing to the town, but it will cost a little money and somo hard work, and they are willing that some ono else should do the work and they will reap a shnre of the reward. This same feeling exists In regard to on electric railway. Tho peoplo are willing that outsiders shall eomo In and Improve tho town, but as for Reynoldsville capital being invested In an electric railway, that will never do, enn't run any risks for tho purpose of building a young city in this healthful and advantageous local ity. Oh! no, that will never do! Tho capital of this town must either bo lix-ked up or Invested in something that wo have tho proof positive will pay largo returns. Of course wo want to see our town keep up with tho times, but If outsiders don't think enough of us to come in and Invest their money nnd bixm tho town then we will have to take what happens to come our way and be satisfied. An Entertainment. An entertainment will be given in tho opera houso on Thursday night, March 10, for tho benefit of tho mis sionary sixiloty of the Presbyterian church.

Considerable talk has boon Indulged In concerning tho erection of now school houses In Reynoir.svlllo, hut steps are now being taken which will, if success ful, place the sehixil question just whero It was beforo the xM-cial election in June. A bill of In equity will bo served on tho Reynoldsvillo school Ixinrd this ufterntxin for their npx-arunco before Judge Clark at Hrookvlllo next Monday to show cause why the Injuncton should not bo granted. The grounds taken to sustain tho injunction aro these: Tho borough wus bonded for "building school house," tho amount $.'14,000, nnd two or three Haws In the election returns. What the outcome will bo is not altogether apparent at this writing, but wo would not be surprised if tho sxoinl election of Juno would bo pro nounced null nnd void and that tho entire sehixil board would hand in their resignation. Of Interest to Farmers. Although ctover and timothy sued is high this yoar, as mentioned In tho Star several weeks ago, yot the farmers will buy. Ninlan Cooper, tho leading seed man in town, Informs us that ho sold ten bushels of clovor seed and seven bushels of timothy seed lust Sat urday. Mr. Cooper keeps his seed in tho furniture room of tho Reynoldsvillo Hardware Co.'s store. Ho has been handling seeds for a number of years and, as ho always keeps the best in tho market, tho farmers knows where to buy. Mr. Cooper also soils alslke clovor and orchard grass seeds. Call and .got his prices and see his seeds before buy ing any elsewhere. Real Estate Transfers.

Knox, for house and two lots In Reynoldsville. $1.00; February 13, 1803. THE SCHOOL QUESTION. Convenient and Accommodating Schools for Reynoldsville. Whether the school officers shall build sellable sehixil houses for the con venient accommodation nnd education of tho children of Reynoldsville, or whether a school houso shall bo built to the eternal disadvantage to the children both In a physical .and an educational point of view? It Is the well established opinion of all intelligent and thoughtful peoplo when giving educational subjects hon est, unselfish, Intelligent thought that school houses should be. built convenient nnd comfortable for tho children who will uso them, that these nurseries of American citizenship should bo con structed In such convenient location ns will do tho gn-atest gixxl to the great est number of tho children gx-s, or should go without saying. In town and cities the compelling of tho children to travel long distances to sehixil In nil kinds of weather, and the school season Is always during the worst weather of the whole year, hns become a matter of ancient history, us It ought to. Yet thero aro somo people even In this cen tury who ore credited, or want to bo credited, with Intelligence, with being broad gaged mentally and living right here In Reynoldsville, who take a very narrow view of this subject. They seem to forget that there are other peo plo beside themselves In the communi ty, that there aro other peoplu who pay taxes, more taxes than they do, who want everything for their jxM-sonnl com fort, at other people's discomfort and expense. They seem to forget thnt tho business of the school board Is, In tho matter of determining whether thero should bo ono or more convenient school houses In the town, Is to con scientiously nnd Intelligently tnke Into consideration the whole school district, not a small jxu-tlon of It, however im portant that small portion may feel, the peoplo who nro most to be considered aro tho children and not their parents. Tho primary subject of Intelligent and broad gaged thought Is to educate the children, so that when they arrive, at man and womanhoiHl they will bo Americans with all that that lin- filles, not the mere matter of costs und neldently tho price of a janitor or two. While It is prox-r to consider expense of buildings, &c, yet that should not, and dix-s not, weigh against the chil dren In the minds of unselfish. Intelli gent people. The location of the cen ters of population demands three sehixil bouses In this lxiroiigh. It is idle talk to say that the present building wo now have is worn out. or even approximate ly so. With ordinary repairs it would Inst for 20 or .'to years, and is worth at the present timo $8,ihio to $10,000 and these croakers about expense, with the one-sehixil-hoiise-lden, would throw that building away and call that economiz ing. What would the tax payers say to such a financial policy as that? Who of us have such utter disregard of our financial affairs as to throw nwav blix-ks of property worth from $8,000 to $10,000 nt a time ? Do theso one-schixil-liouse jx-oplo do that In the management of their own business? Wo think not. vet they would throw away the people's property to that extent. Away with such financial policy In public 'affairs! Do you think the school iMiard Is made of that kind or stuff? Doyo think they have no regard for their public duty ? Another contracted view of this subject is taken when they urgtui that more than one sehixil house would excite jealousy, forsooth that comxitent sehixil teachers would not be employed in all tho schools. Did ever a demagogue use any other argument to carry bis point than by trying to appeal to prejudlco rather than reason. The necessities of the school children of Reynoldsville Bro three conveniently lix-ated school houses. Ono they have already, two more they need; one conveniently lo cated In each end of tho town, so that a higher sehixil may lie had In the cen ter building, the grading tending In that direction. Is nut that the method in which the sehixil question is regulat ed In tho larger towns. Whoro they hnvo the best schools nnd where edu cation attains to tho highest point Is whero tho business is curried on to tho advantage and benefit of the children. Theso H'oplo even say that tho direc tors don't know how many children of school ago there aro In the town, that the boys of most of the xplo ure put in tho mines at 12 and 14 years of age. If that Is true as to tho boys, why Is it so? Tho answer Is easy. By the timo tho boys are of the ago of 12 und 14 years they have gone through tho three It's. Thero being no higher scluxils to go to in tho town, parents not able to send them to schools in other towns are forced to put them to work in the coul mines and othor places if for no other reason than to keep the boys In employ ment, as the devil ulwuys finds somo mischief for Idle hands to do. Theso same peoplu who scare at tho expense of a janitor or two would fuln send the boys to the coal mines ut 12 and even at a less age to their eternal detriment, if by thut means the cost of a janitor or two might bo saved. Intelligent, thoughtful people who have tho welfare of tho nation at heart want a higher standurd of educution In tho public schools than Is given In tho three R's, Rcndin, Hi ten and Rithraetic. With three sehixil housus a higher standard of educution will necessarily follow. Another reason given by these people of the ono-schixil-house idea and tho destruction of about $10,000 worth of property Is because they want It. They say that 22.1 people who, by the way, pay the least tuxes, huve slgnod a petition ut the porsonul request and solicitation of some of theso (xxiplo, without due consideration, or from sel fish or personal motives and in utter disregard of the publlu necessity, und they suy that 225 is a majority of 3,000 peoplo. That is tho kind of mathe matics they believe most in, 225 a ma jority of 3,0001 Please quit this misrep resentation and turn your attention and efforts to doing something thut will be either beneficial to yourselves or the community in which you livo and I know you-will fool butter yoursolvesand the school district will feel better, too.
