Vol. 1, No. 1, of tho Atlroktiten, a
Swedish paper published by tho Ridg
way Publishing Co., reached our ex
change table Monday morning. It Is
an oight page, six column paper. Wo
take it for granted that it Is filled with
interesting news for the Swedo pooplo,
but can't swear to It. We have no desire
to get into a controversy with the Adro
Jcatrn becauso it might say all manner
of moan things about The Star and
we would not know it unloss some of
our Swede friends would toll us what it
said. The new paper has a largo field
to work in, and wo bollove it will do a
good work. We wish it the best of
success.
A number of our exchanges have
published an item which seems to have
no foundation, at least the postoffioe
otlialals in this place know nothing
about it. The item reads as follows:
The Postmaster General has Issued
an order that hereafter mall will not be
taken on the railroad mall can unless
it first passes through the postoffioe.
The order was made necessary because
so many business men in the neigh
borhood of railroad depots in all
localities mailed their lutters on the
train to save them the troublo of going
to the postofiloe, and it niude a lurge
amount of extra work for tho railway
mail clorks. . Time was taken up in
stamping letters that was needed in
sorting out mull between stations. '
Collar Bone Broken.

Down the River.
Sam'l T. Dougherty has been In the
lumber business this season and has a
number of rafts to run from Clarion to
Pittsburg. Friday afternoon he took
his wife and two daughters, Nellie and
Verdlo, to Clarion and on Monday they
got onto a raft, on which a shanty had
been built, and intend floating on the
bosom of the old Allegheny river to
Pittsburg, just for the novelty of the
thing. It will take them four or five
days to get to tho "Smoky City."
Having Trouble.
Some of the jioople of Rathmol are
having a "peck of troublo" just now
with tho "white cop" and liquor busi
ness. Somo person hired tho constable
of that ptaeo to serve subHpnas on wit
ness tn oppose Kerr's license and six of
the remonstrance signers were sued for
the amount due tho constable and had
to go to Brookvllle and appear beforo
'Squire Baur. It Is now claimed that
a man's name aptears on the remon
strance who refused to sign his name to
it, and now a warrant has been Issued
for a Rathmel man for forgory.
Want Better Accommodation.
In the summer tlmo Hopkins is a
lively little hamlet. There is a storo,
postolTlce and a number of dwelling
houses there, and the mill gives em
ployment to about UK) men during tho
sawing season, but the noon passenger
trains, east and west, don't stop there.
People having business at that place
have to walk or drive to Hopkins unloss
they go down on tho morning train and
back on tho evening train. Tho rail
road company knows its own business,
but it seems that tho Hopkins peoplo
should have tho accommodation of tho
noon trains, all things considered.
Hard to Catch.
Irvin Grafilus, constable of Punxsu
tawnoy, was in Reynoldsvillo Friday.
Mr. Graflius' right hand Is very painful
yet from tho effects of a bullet put
through It from a revolver In the hnnds
of an Italian. The constablo has a war
rant for the desperado from Italy.
Twlco tho Italian has shot Bt tho con
stable and escaped both tlmos. Tho
first tlmo he shot, tho constable had his
back to hlra and tho ball passed through
his coat just under his left arm. Sev
eral weeks ago Graffius went after tho
Italian again by the way, ho had two
revolvers in his pockots but the Italian
was too quick and shot first. As Boon
as tho constahlo's hand gets hotter he
will go ufter tho Italian again and then
it is ltkoly Bomobody will dlo, becauso
tho constablo has blood In his eye now.
Minimum Wages.
A strike at any time is to be deplored
for it is always a loss both to tho em
ployers and omployoeB, but whon work
ing raon aro compelled to work for such
small wagoB that they cannot got for
themselves and families the necessaries
of life, then they must do something for
a defense When tho discomforts and
dangers of miners aro considered, thoy
aro a poorly paid class of working men.
Thore should be a minimum wago es
tablished, and It up to the living point,
and this should always bo reckoned by
operators in all tho contracts they
make. Men should novor bo asked to
work for less than this. With this es
tablished, all oxn'uUrs would stand
upon an equal footing. Consumers
should bo made to pay living wages to
the men and fair profits to the oper
ators. House and Barn Burned.
We mentioned last week that the
house of Mrs. Caroline Honry, who lives
a few miles out from town on a farm, was
burned Tuesday afternoon, April 17th.
At that time we could not get any
partlclars, but have since learned that
her house, nearly all her household
goods, barn and dry house were burned.
The fire started on the roof of tho
house and burned so rapidly that it was
almost impossible to get anything out.
A strong wind was blowing which
wafted the Ore fiend to the barn. Ten
ton of hay, two ton of straw, cultivator,
plows and rakes wore gathered in by
the hot demon. The dry house in which
twenty-five bushels of grain was stored
and various kinds of tools was also
licked ud by the fire. All the live
stock was gotten out of tho barn but a
four-day-old calf. The proerty was
insured, but we did not luurn what
amount.
They Got a Hearing.
A. A. Swab and John Davis, of Rath
mol, got a hearing before 'Squire Brady
at Brookvllle last Friday for being
members of the "white cap" band that
visited the home of J. Y. Snyder, near
Prescottvllle, on the 10th of last Janu
ary. They were bound over to court
and gave one thousand dollars ball for
their appearance.
It appears that R. M. Spangler was
keeping a livery stable at Rathmel at
the time the "white caps" visited Sny
der and that they hired his horses and
also borrowed his revolver the night
Snyder was visited, and that Spangler
knew where they were going and
what they wore going for. The
band was comiHised of ten, with one or
two exceptions, all boys ranging In age
from 14 to IS yoars. The secret was
well kept until Spangler owed Swab In
the neighborhood of one hundred dol
lars of a store bill and the merchant
sued for his money, and then Spangler
was ready to squeal on tho "white cap"
band. He swore at the hearing in
Brookvllln Friday that Mr. Swab was
elected captain of tho "white cnjs" be
fore thoy left his barn on tho night
above mentioned.
Mr. Davis had a warrant Issued for
R. M. Spangor at Brookvllle last Fri
day as an accomplice with the "white
caps," on the grounds that he hired his
homes and loaned his revolver to tho
"white caps" knowing at tho time
whore thoy were going. Spangler gets
a hearing before 'Squire Barr at nine
o'clock this morning.
Our Bow to Prevaricators.
If "Tom Pepjier" wbs In Reynolds
villo now-a-days he would have to take
a back seat, for we have prevaricators
here that can almost tnako tho "father
of lies" tremble for fear he will be
downod by somo of his "Imps." We have
paid lit tlo attention in the past to lies
that linvo been circulated on us, and we
do not expect to deny every prevarica
tion in the future, for "truth crushed
to earth will rise again." It Is remark
able what stories peoplo do start In
circulation, and another remnrkablo
part Is that somebody Is ready to believe
thom. An attempt 1ms been mado
several times recently to Injure our
business and make enemies for The
Star by lies that have not even the
scmblnnco'of truth. This will 1 done
once to often. The law makes provi
sions for such cases. There Is ono
consolation, howevor, there will bo no
liars In heaven and wo expect thoro
will be editors thoro. Of all the moan,
contemptible, debased, cankerous, loath
some, dotestablo, despicable, vllllannus,
sophisticated, corrupt, vile, hateful,
reptiles that meander on this munduno
sphere In human form, tho meanest and
most desplsablo Is a liar.
It is Absurd.
Tho Big Run Echo recently published
an article about Lawyer G. M. Mc
Donald moving his office from Big Run
to Reynoldsvillo In which the i'ciosald:
"The duy Is not far distant when he
will return to this town which will
become tho greatest business town in
Joff. Co." We clipped the articlo and
added: "That Is right, stand up for
your town, but wo can't holp smiling at
your hopeless ambition." Tho Echo
said lust week:
"The editor of the Reynoldsvillo
Stak took occasion last week to ridicule
Big Run. Probably ho could not find
anything else to 1111 his paper with."
Come now, Bro. Rylund, one of tho
privileges of a nowspaiwr Is to dofend
tho town In which it is published, there
fore, If we "could not find anything clso
to fill the papor with" wo aro excusable.
It is simply absurd for a town like Big
Run to claim that In the sweet byo and
bye it will become the "greatest busi
ness town in Jefferson county."
Will Not Play on Sunday.
Alexander Whltehlll, tho young man
who has a reputation of being a good
ball twlrlur, is too conscientious to as
sociate with fast company on the
diamond. There aro vory few nines
that hesitate about playing ball on
Sunday, which Alex, positively refuses
to do. Last year he refused a good
offor with a Now Jorsoy club because
they wanted him to play on Sunduy.
This year he pitched three games for
tho Sioux City, Iowa, club and won all
three games, but ho has resigned be
cause the "Soos" wanted him to play
ball on Sunday. Mr. Whltehlll de
sorves credit for bolng man enough to
have respect for the Sabbath, even
though he does lose a position that
paid him from $150.00 to $200.00 a month.
With many people, who protend to be
vory good, the desire for the "root of
all evil" is so great that thoy will
willingly fracture the Lord's Day for
a few dollars.
How to Break It.
It is not an uncommon thing to meet
three our four girls on our streets who,
by their aetlons, seem to think thoy are
entitlod to the entire sidewalk. An ex
change gives the following pointer how
to get the privilege of part of tho walk:
Whon you see you are about to meet
three or more young ladles linked to
gether by the arms, and you do not care
to bo orowded off the sidewalk, just
stop, turn around as if you wore looking
at something and stund until they comu
up to you. They will not run against
you, but that link will bo broken
"instauter."
Street Sprinkler.
One of the things we are badly in
need of In Reynoldsvllle Is a street
sprinkler, espettlally on Main street.
There are enough goods destroyed by
dust during the summer to more than
pay for a sprinkler, besides tho annoy
ance of dust rakltigevery time a team Is
driven along the street. A numborof our
merchants hare hoso attached in front
of their stores and are enabled to keep
the dust down part of tho time at least,
while their next door neighbor don't
have a sprinkler and tho man who has
gots the dust from his neighbor's un
sprlnkled place. Considerable water is
wasted with these sprinklers, If we
had a regular street sprinkler the dust
would be kept down all along tho street
and no one would bo annoyed with It
and the merchants, or their clerks,
would not havo to got the hoso out
throe or four times a day. The rent
paid for water for street purposes would
go a good ways In paying for a street
sprinkler, for If a sprinklor was put on
It would not be necessary to use the
private plugs in front of the stores.
There are enough business men on Main
street, between the iron bridge and
Sixth street, to pay for a sprinkler at a
very small sum for each one, If all
would help a little. Jonathan Whit
more has been making an effort tho
past week to raise a subscription for the
put'iHMo of putting on a sprinkler. He
has not received very much encourage
ment from the bulness men. All things
considered, this would be a good invest
ment and we hope the scheme will not
be a failure, for we certainly need a
street sprinkler. This is tho only way
the dust can be successfully kept down.
Any of our business men can easily
afford to pay $1.00 a month and more
for this purpose.
8pecial Examination.
Prof. J. H. Hughes, of Brookvllle,
county superintendent, was In Reynolds
vllle last Thursday and held a special
examination In Prof. Stamey's room.
Tho regular annual examination will be
held early In Juno, but by sjieclal re
quest of Prof. Stamey his pupils were
examined by Prof. Hughes on tho day
named. Thore wore elghtoon In the
class. Prof. Hughes was delighted
with tho young peoplo In this class,
in fact he was almost extravagant
with his words of praise for them.
Among other things he said, 'Vhoy are
cultured, intelligent, vory polite and
refined." He says they answered
promptly and thinks they will all pass
a good examination, but of course can
not toll until he has gone over their
papers.
Prof. Hughes has since reported
favorable for all mombers of this class
and has Issued teachers' certificates to
them.
No Commission.
Thos. Keys was elected a Justice of
tho Peace for the borough of Brockwny
vlllo at the recent election and tho
oloet Ion board of that borough neglected
to Btuto In their return to tho Prothono
tary tho namo of tho office for which ho
was a candidate. Consequently tho
Secretary of tho Commonwealth, W. F.
Hurrlty, refused to issuo a commission
to Mr. Keys. Tho matter was referred
to tho Court for correction, but Judge
Chirk denied jurisdiction in tho case.
In making out IiIb returns to the State
Depurtmont, Prothonotary Clarko sim
ply certified the facts, and tho Secretary
of the Commonwealth decided against
Mr. Keys upon the ground that the
certificate was Insufficient. Two years
ago a similar caso occurred In this placo,
that of Esq. E. Neff, but a commission
was Issued for Mr. Neff for a full term
of five years.
A Small Strike.
Several follows who had been working
In the mines offered to work for Jos.
Spears at $1.25 per day and were hired
for tho summer at that wages. On Sat
urday they struck for $1.50. Monday
Mr. Spears hired four miners to pllo up
the dirt on Muin street, which he hauls
onto his farm near town, and tho men
wore called "black-legs." Those four
mon did not know why they were
called "black-legs," but when they
were told about tho strike of the threo
mon thon thoy Informed Mr. Spears
Monday night that thoy could not work
for less than $1.50 per day, which Mr.
Speurs was willing to pay. Tho four
men are now working for $1.50 per day,
but the throe follows who mado their
own prlco and then struck, aro still on
a strike.
The Mines are Idle.
The miners of this place came out on
a strike at noon last Thursday. At a
mooting on Tuesday thoy docldcd to
work until Saturday noon. As near as
we can learn the drivers, for somo
reason, stopped work on Thursday and of
course the minora were compelled to
follow their example.
