seven shooter grasied In her right hand
and her linger on tho trigger. Sho
looked boldly at the small crowd of men
and boys standing around as If sho was
looking for somo ono to shoot down in
cold blood, but fulling to see her "game"
sho walked Into the ladles' waiting
room, which, by tho way, was soon
vacated by the half dozen or more ladles
who wero waiting on the train. When
the door was closed behind tho girl in
the waiting room, it was suggested by
several men that It might bo ixisslblo
thut sho was a "crunk" who wanted to
shoot somo "big gun." Atthissuggcstlon
tho editor of the STAR Immediately took
a walk to the extreme end of tho plat
form. The girl lingered at tho station

Are You Thankful t
In tho past tho morchants of Reyn
oldsvillo, generally spenklng, have not
been given to showing much respect for
Thanksgiving Day by closing their
places of business. The president of
tho United States and the governor of
our own Btate have Issued proclama
tions recommending that all secular
business be suspended and that the peo
ple assomblo In their usual places of
worship and with great reverence and
diligent consideration manifest their
genorous gratitude by prayer and songs
of praise for God's benflte towards us as
a people and as Individuals. Why not
close all the business places in our town
for at least a half day on Thanksgiving.
Perhaps the merchant who closes that
day will not have quite as much cash in
his drawer In the evening as he would
have had had he kept open all day, but
he will soon make up for it. No man
loses anything, even In hard cash, who
shows respect for the God of the Uni
verse. Try at least a half holiday this
coming Thanksgiving.
New Schedule.
A new schedule will go into ef
fect on the B., R. & P. R'y Sunday,
November 19th, which will give the
publio butter accommodations between
Falls Crook and Punxsutawnoy than Is
now given. The rooming and evening
train now running between Punxsutaw
noy and Bradford will only run between
Punxsutawnoy and Falls Creek. On
the now schedule a person can leave
Reynoldsvllle on the morning train,
noon train or evening train and reach
Punxsutawnoy In about two hours after
leaving Reynoldsvllle. A porson can
come from Punxsutawney to this place
on the morning, noon or evoning trains.
It appears the railway company will not
make out their time tables this time as
several newspapers hod hoped they
would. In place of making Punxsutaw
ney a "side Issue" and running the mail
train to Clearfield, the train will run to
Punxsy, and that town also gets several
extra passengor trains daily. Whether
the C. & M. passenger train will be
discontinued between Reynoldsvllle and
DuBols, has not been announced of
ficially yet.
Five Hundred Dollar Burglary.
Thieves entered W. H. Boll's clothing
store Saturday night and carried away
about five hundred dollars worth of
overcoat and suits. They gained an
entrance Into the store through a hack
window. Mr. Boll carries a very large
and fine line of ready made clothing,
occupying two rooms for his goods.
Ono room Is used for suits and overcoats,
exclusively, and tho clothing Is piled on
two rows of tables tho full length of
the long room. Mr. Bell had his liest
suits on the tables near the center of
tho room, and those were the tables
roblied. Mr. Bell's private office and
cashier's department lias a six or seven
foot high partition enclosing It from
the main store, and Into this office tho
thieves carried the clothing and assorted
out what they did not want and then
unlocked tho hack door and departed.
Sunday evening four suspicious ehais
got on a freight train at DuBols for
Punxsutawnoy. The conductor tele
graphed ahead and the constable met
tho four men there on their arrival,
but they gave teg-ball and fired two
shots at the constable while on the run.
Tho halls came very nearly hitting tho
constable, Tho men dropiiod two bun
dles of clothing as they ran, which they
had stolen out of Boll's store. Mr. Boll
and Frank P. Addlessrger drove to
Punxsutawney Monday and Mr. Bell
got the two bundles of clothing, which
was a smnll part of what had hocn stolen,
but did not catch the thieves.
Repair Your Sidewalks.
At a special meeting of town council
of tho borough of West ReynoldHVllle,
held Nov. tlth, tho following notice

follows:
"All liei-sons whoareproiierty holders
In tho Borough of West Itcyiiohlsvillo
or otherwise residing on tho said promi

In front of their proHirty or otherwise
tour out what sidewalks that can not

Polygamy at Big Run.
A few weeks ago an artlclo was pub
lished In several paor about a man In

and to inuko the purchase mora binding
tho man and his ono hundred dollar
woman wont to Now York stoto lost
week and were married, the woman,
however, has not been divorced from
the man who sold her for a littlo "filthy

WORLDLY AMUSEMENT.
Rev. Johnson Olves His Position on the
Dance Question.
Tho dancing school opened In this
place last Thursday night has called
forth considerable discussion on the
propriety of dancing, and Rev, H. R.
Johnson, pastor of the Presbyterian
church, read tho following from the
pulpit of his church last Sunday even
ing, which gives his position on danc
ing:
To nil irhn art Intrmtnl fn the wlfnrti of
our church and commiinify.
The question of the propriety of cer
tain amusements Is boforo us and that
of dancing In particular. As It Is likely
to lie settled Incorrectly I wish to siicak
a kind wordif warning.
Tho Blblo sets a high standard for all
men, and It Is well known that no one
can reach It and Indulge In demoraliz
ing pleasures. Tho liad effects of tho
dance aro well known, and no man can
defend It unless ho adopts a standard
much lower than the Blblo authorizes.
Will you do this? But let mo state my
position: I am forever a friend to tho
young jM-ople and their rights: I am In
favor of tho most advanced progress in
siK'lal matters; I believe that both old
and young need pleasure and recreation,
and that wo Hioplo of tho church should
make provisions for these; I am In favor
of Increasing tho pleasure of tho young
Hoplo rather than diminishing It, and
so far am I from opposing their Inter
ests that I hereby declare myself tho
opponent of that only which would In
jure them.
Now In order that my words may
have more authority let me road two
very short extracts from what tho
Presbyterian church says about certain
amusements. (Seo Minutes of tho
Oonoral Assembly, 1801.)
"If this world Is to ho eonouered for
Christ, his servants must perceive and
dislodge tho enemy wherever found.
They should not seo evil where there is
no evil, nor should thoy call that good
which Is really evil, indued In Itself
or by its fruits. Fortunately for the
church, tho Master has said, By their
iruns yo snail Know mem. '
The following resolutions aro to tho
point:
1. "That this Goneral Assembly re
affirms the deliverances of past Assem-
ones on mo sunject of worldly amuse
ments, culling attention to the'exccllcnt
summary of Christian principles sot
lorm in mo action of tho Assembly of
18liil and tho resolutions adopted by that
Assembly on 'tho theater and opera'
(Now Digest, pp. Cm, CM). Also to
the action of tho New School Assembly
In 18l!) on 'the oporu, tho dance, the
theater and card-plnylng' (New Digest,
pp. 588, 51s)); and tho action of the Old
School Assembly of 18M), Interpreting
our standards, In Bnswer to an Overture
from tho Presbytery of Cincinnati, to
the effect that social dances and private
theatricals are Included under tho head
of 'dancing and stage plays' mentioned
In tho Larger Catechism amongst the
'sins forbidden in the Seventh Com
mandment,' and declaring Church Ses
sions fully competent to decide when
and and how far discipline should be
exercised (Now Digest, pp. 5W1, 587)."
2. "This General Assembly owould
affectionately call upon all tho members
of our church, to so regard their obliga
tions to Christ, as to see to it that they
take no part In amusements which thoy
cannot take in His name."
These brief references show that the
Presbyterian church has always, and
does still tako a decided stand Bgainst
certain forms of amusement now strug
gling for recognition In our town. I am
sorry that the impression is abroad
here that our church Is Indifferent to
these amusements. It Is not. If
dancing, card playing, theater go
ing and wine drinking elevated and
Improved mankind the church would
not say a word, but the effect of all
these has been the very reverse.
Dancers and card players never have
made strong, aggressive Christians, and
our church is not willing to run the
risk that they ever will. If you begin
to Indulge In these things, then I pro
phesy tho usual result that If you have
any spirituality it will soon begin to
decline; you will soon leave the good
work of the church to other people; you
will forsake the prayer-meeetlng; you
will forsake the Sunday school and be a
hindrance rather than a help to our
church.
Of course you can say many good
things about these amusements, but
that will not make them safe any more
than the meal will make the poison safe
to the rat. All that Is good In them
may be secured In many other ways and
without risk. Some one Is sure to
imagine that these things never harmed
him, but I care not who he Is, there Is
not a soul In Reynoldsvllle that could
not and ought not be better, and he
would be better, If he discarded
those amusements that have un
made more gentlemen and ladles than
they ever mado.
I have known many young people to
stay out of church that they might sin
without restraint, but this act makes
their sin all the worse for they commit
two sins Instead of one. The law of
God applies just as much to the one out
side, as to the one In, and even more so,
for the one outside will be punished
while the one in may escape.
These are not the only amusements
In the world nor are they the best, In
reality they are among the lowest and
most childish. Safe and elevating
pleasures that are much superior to
these are so abundant that no man can
have time to enjoy them all, and
If the young poople of thia church and
community will be patient and give us
their assistance thoy shall have pro
Contiiuud oh fourth payt.)

Reynoldsvllle, Pa., Nov. 8, M3.
Notice la hereby given that, taking
effect on and after the lrtth Inst., the
price of mining In the company's mines
will be 40 cts. per net ton for the run of
mine coal, and the price of other labor
outside and inside the mines will be in
proportion.
Our chief reasons for the above are
that reductions have been made in min
ing In regions highly competitive with
ours. In the Pittsburgh district the
Srice of mining has boon generally re
need from ten to twenty cents per ton.
This region is now securing a large
amount of our business in Buffalo,
Western New York and Canada. In
Eastern New York and the New En
gland states other competitive districts
are producing at less cost, making
prices we are unable to meet, and tak
ing trade we have supplied for many
years. There are other reasons we
might adduce. Our men very well
know the general stagnation In trade,
and we hope will readily accede to the
situation. Geo. H. Lewis, Pres.
S. B. ELLIOTT, Gen'l Manager.
