The scheme for tho seven towns men
tioned by the DuBois Cmirirr to work

the approbation of most all the towns
suggested. Tho Reynoldsville Lec
ture Association has been more fortun
ate with its lecture course this past

the associations at Punxsutawncy and
DuBois. It is pmbablo that tho asso

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

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 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.

tho opera houso on Thursday night,

The End Not Yet.
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.

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.
