A gentleman discovered that the corn in his crib was disap pearing mysteriously. He drove pieces of wood in the ends of the cobs and after the next corn disappeared the old man visited his neighbor's barn and found the cobs, minus the corn, in the horse's trough. The trap was set again and the cobs with the wood driven in tho ends were found in his neighbor's barn. When taken to task for stealing corn the neighbor claimed that some person had put the cobs there to ruin his rep utation. It was a mean trick to steal the old man's corn.

M. Co., $030; Tom Reynolds and Maggie Gorsllno, $771.00; Cbas. H. Presoott, $400; Robert Mulr, $5.00; E. Sharp, $5.00. The whole thing amounts to $3,001.00. The Water Company thinks that is an outragoous sum for use of the water off these lands and will not pay it. This being the case it is probable that a law suit will be the result. Excursion Tickets.

There Is Bome talk of having two rooms fitted up in the Reynolds brick block for school purposes to accommo date small scholars from the over crowded borough school.

The present crowded condition of our schools in deplorable and if the rooms can be secured and fitted up It should be done at once. ' New S. S. Officers. The Sunday school board of tho M.

Unique Windows. W. II. Bell, jr., the clothier, has three windows to decorate in his mam moth store, but ho and his clerks are equal for the emergency. Mr. Bell Is a genius for fixing windows up in an attractive stylo. One window presents a very pretty Christmas scono whore Santa Clans is on the roof of a house ready to go down a large brick chimney with a pack on his back. Anothor window represents a room of a young man who is inclined to boa trifle untidy. The third window is nicoly arranged with the "latest" in gents furnishing goods. An Accident. John Crawford, of Beech woods, who Is not "as young as bo use to be," was in Reynoldsville last Thursday and met with a mishap which might have proven serious with the old man. Thomas Tap por was driving up Main street with a horse and sleigh at a pretty fast gait and old man Crawford attempted to cross the street in front of the horse. Mr. Tapper could not stop his horse In time to avoid an accident, and tho old man was knocked down and dragged ton or fifteen feet. He was cut on the head and bruised over tho body consid erably. The man was carried Into Dr. J. B. Neale'a office, near where the aocl dont occurred, and from thore to Hotel Belnap, where he remained until Friday noon and Mr. Tapper took him home. Mr. Crawford is eighty-four years old and consequently the accident was more serious with hira than it would have been with one of tendor years. Main street, in the condition it was in last week, Is a great temptation for fast driving, but it is not safe to Indulge in .such sport on a busy street. Joined the Angels. Cecil Ruth, the bright little flaxen haired daughter of Mr. and Mrs. B. E. Hoover, died at 0.00 a. m. Sunday, Deo. 10th, of croup, after a short illness. Ruth was out coasting Thursday and did not feel well Friday and Saturday, but the parents were not sufficiently alarmod about her to send for a doctor until Saturday evening. She was restless all night and about six o'clock Sunday morning took worse and died in three hours afterwards. The little "tot" was our next door neighbor and we were well acquainted with her. She had a winning way which made her many friends who will miss her prattle. The ruthless messenger of death is not loath to pluck the beautiful human buds. The deceased would have been four years old the sixteenth of next month. Her remains were burled in the Pleas ant Avenue oemetory Tuesday morning. No one but a parent, who has loved as only parents can, who has been bereaved of a darling child can really sympathize with Dr. and Mrs. Hoover in their sor row. Two beautiful wreaths of natural flowers, one from Dr. W. B. Alexander and the other from A. M. Woodward and Henry A. Reed, were laid on the little casket. Memorial Home. The Memorial Home at Brookville has boon receiving press notices for sometime which have not been flattering to the management of that institution, and the Woman's Relief Corps of this place decided to make an Investigation and learn, if possible, if there was any truth in the rumors concerning the cruelty the Inmates of the Home were compelled to suffer. Mrs. E. Neff was appointed by the corps to go to Brook ville last Thursday and meet with the directors and visit the home. Mrs. Neff was Interviewed by a representative of this paper and she Is fully convinced that the management of the Home baa been shamefully lied on. Mrs. Neff says she spent several hours alone with the Inmates, and even ventured to con demn tho Matron as she talked to the boys and girls, and older ones also, confidentially, but they all claimed that the Matron Is kind to them. It would soein if the Matron was such a terror as reHrts make her out to bo that some of the inmates could bo confidentially persuaded to give some pointers as to the truthfulness of tho rumors, unless they had been threatened with severe punishment If they betrayed any of tho secrets of the Home. For the reputa tion of the Homo and its management, If there is no truth In the stories, it would bo well to gather tho host of witnesses, as is claimed there are, and lot them do a littlo swoarlng. If the reports are false the witnesses, when it comes to stating on oath what they know, will be few. If the bottom of the trouble, was reached it might expose the moral leprosy of a few peoplo who are socking revengo. Don't Ask it. When we launchod this paper on the sea of journalism we said: "THE STAR is, and will continue to bo, an Indepen dent newspaper. It Is not published in the Interest of any cor)oratlon, sect, or party. Whllo attempting to presont all sides of every question of interest within Its province, It shall be our aim to make the paper purely unbiased." We quote the above from our salutation at this time because we have boon in formed since our last Issuo that we are afraid to advocate certain things and that we have no business to publish certain Items. An outsider has no con ception of the ideas soma poople get and give gratuitously to the editor, fully expecting montionod to be made of their suggestions. Some peoplo have personal grievances that they think a nowspaimr should take up for them. "Give the Republicans a send off about this," and "give the Democrats a send off about that," &c, are not uncommon expressions for an editor to hear. If wo catered to such people this papor would be nclthor independent nor political, but an utter failure. We claim tho right to reject all objection able items and publish any communi cation or item that Is not objectionable when properly signed. It is unjust for any person or persons to try and place a newspu)Hr In such a position that it is compelled to tako Issues with ono Bide or tho other. We expoot to deal justly with all people and expect as much in return. Diphtheria and Croup. As there seems to bo some doubt with tho public regarding croup, wo quote the following from "System of Practical Therapeutics,", edited by Prof. H. A. Hare: "Diphtheria and croup aro identical. Though their identity has not yet been proven scientifically, yet clinically and practically the balance of evidence 1b In favor of this view. Those physicians who believe that true croup is diphthe ria and contagoous, and who base their treatment upon this belief, will succeed In saving life and limiting the spread of disease, when those will fail who soothe their own consciences and comfort anx ious relatives and friends with the doctrine that croup is a local inflamma tory and non-contagious disease, and neglect isolation and disinfection ac cordingly."

ON THE RAIL. Samuel Lauck and Prank Richardson, of Ihs A. V. R'y, Interviewed. Samuel Lauck, passenger oonduotor, and Frank Richardson, passenger en gineer, two trusted employees of the A. V. R'y, were Interviewed recently and a flttle of their experience we give as follows: Mr. Lauck has been in the employ of the A. V. R'y for twenty-five years, having worked on the River Division before the Low Grade was built. His first narrow escape and his first laugh able experience on the Low Grade Div. occurred at Broken Ruck, between Now Bethlehem and Red Bank, a score of years ago. It was before a regular pas senger train was put on the road and a mixed freight haulod passengers be tween Reynoldsville and Red Bank, that Mr. Lauck was going over the train to tho baggago car when he fell between two box cars. The baggage master saw him fall and had the train stopped whilo Mr. Lauck clung to life with one hand on a drawhead. Had his perilous position not been discovered when it was, his life's book would have closed then. Not long after that the train stopped at Broken Rock to let a lusty female passenger get off, and Mr. Lauck, who was then a brakeman, po litely tried to help her off, but thore was no platform thore and as the track was high the old lady mado tho most Impressing "mash" on Lauck of his railroad experience as she fell off the steps upon him. It was as "good as a cir cus" to the few passengers however, who were spending a day getting from Rod Bank to Roynoldsvllle. In tho seventies, when A. V. trains run to Ronovo, Lauck and Wm. Cun ningham, with englno 02, hauled a fire engine from Renovo to Driftwood, a distance of 28 miles and mado one stop, In thirty-two minutes. Lauck has a P. & E. train order, as a momonto, Issued to he and Pat Horn Deo. 8, 1875. Mr. Lauck Is a very pleasant accom modating conductor who looks to tho comfort of those who ride on his train, and he also looks woll after tho railroad company's Interests. Next to an edi tor, there aro fow people who have their pationoe tried so severely as a passenger conductor, as cranks of all kinds rldo on trains dally. Mr. Lnuck says his thirteen years exiierlence as conductor on a passenger train has been a good school In which to study human nature. It don't tako hlra long to read a man. Frank Richardson, the non-excitable engineer who hauls Mr. Lauck, can got a passenger train over the road on timo with as much case as any man that ever pullod a throttle. Mr. Richardson, who has boon running an englno on the Low .Grade Blnce it was first built, has had his share of experience In railroading and Is noted for being cool In tho midst of danger, which is ono of tho essential requirements of a passenger enginoer who has so many lives entrusted to his cool-heududncss. Tho traveling public, generally speaking, give little thought of tho man who controls tho lron-borso. Most of these men fool the responsibil ity and it is a constant strain upon their nerves whilo they are on duty. Four or five years ago Richardson was making a fast run from Red Bank to Now Buthlo hera and when engine No. 2 Btruck the Bharp curve near Anthony tunnel the englno jumped tho track and rollod down thosteopembankraont to the creek. Richardson jumped off but the fireman, Wilson Hoffman, who could not got off, went down with tho engine, which land ed at the bottom upsido down. How the the fireman escaped alive is a mys tery, as tho hot steam was escaping all around him when he crawled out of the demolished cab. A defective drawhead was all that kept the train from follow ing the engine. Conductor Lauck ran down the embankment with a sad heart, because he thought Richardson was un der the englno, but he heard him call and looking up he saw the engineer standing on the railroad. When Lauck got the fireman up the bill and was congratulating Richardson on his es cape, Frank pulled a long toble out of his pocket, bit the end off and uncon cernedly asked him for a match. Rich ardson has had other narrow escapes. The Local Newspaper. IPunxsutuwncy Bplrlt.l How many country newspapers are there that could live six months If they had to depend upon the income derived from subscriptions? Very few of them would make expenses. They must dopend upon tholr advertising and job work. Yet some peoplo are unreason able enough to complain that "there are too many advertisements in the paper," and others care so little for the local papers as to send tholr job print ing out of town. What is a local news paper ? It is a board of trade, a trum potor of the town's advantages, a history. It is a policeman, a chaperon, a de funder of your rights, and a board of hoalth. It is an honest advisor. It warns you against frauds, and tolls you the best places to buy goods. It rejoices with you when you are glad and mourns with you when you need a comforter. It is tho guardian angel of your moral, intellectual and physical health. It stieketh olosor than a brother. Therefore remember it, and go not in pursuit of strange gods. Henry A. Reed, the shoe man, just received a shipment of new style holi day slippers. PERSONALS. John Hess moved to Curwensvllle this week. W. D. Reynolds spent Sunday at Brookville.
