A band of Gypsies camped within a
mile of Reynoldsville last week. One
old lady accompanied by a large girl
and two or three little children visited
the town one evening and the old lady
said she was a widow and told a very
pitiable story to get the sympathy of
the people and then beg for money,
clothing or anything the people felt
like giving. This old hag belonged to
the Gypsie band and was only working
an old racket to get help.
The Woman's Relief Corps is made
up of kind hearted ladles who, If given
an opportunity, will show their appre
ciation of things In some way. These
ladies were so well pleased about the
Keystone band winning the first prize
at DuBois that they decided to give the
boys a treat. The band was invited to
meet at the home of the president of the
W. R. C, Mrs. Wm. Berkley, last even
ing where the Corps ladles furnished
them with loe cream and cake.
We mentioned last week that a
special election would be held in West
Reynoldsville July 7th to vote for or
against water. For some reason the
election will not be held at that time.
We have been asked where we received
the information concerning the special
election. The information was gleaned
from an ordinance passed by the town
oouncll of West Reynoldsville at its last
regular meeting and was signed by the
Burgess of the same borough.
The Keystone band, of Reynoldsville
is an organization of whloh any town
might feel proud. Their playing yes
terday, both in the contest and on the
street, was a surprise to people who
have not heard them within a year.
Having scored 66 points out of a possible
60 is a record that Indicates almost per
fect playing. The Prescottvllle band,
whloh also practically belongs to Reyn
oldsville, is also an organization that is
above the average. The band suooeeded
in taking fourth prise in a oontest
where excellent playing was required
to take anything; there are few towns
that can boast of two bands the equal of
either the Keystone or the Presoott
vllle, and the Courier congratulate the
bands and the people of their homes
upon having suooeeded in carrying
away the first and fourth prises of the
tournament of 18M. DuBois Courier.
Too Much Curve.
Harry Martin, a sixteen year old chap,
was doing the fancy work In the pitch
er's box for the Snydertown base ball
nine last Wednesday and in getting a
"dandy curve" on the ball he twisted
his right arm and broke it.
Soaking Hides.
The tannory at this place began soak
ing hides last week. Since starting up
with the new tannery hides that had
been put In before the Are have been
finished and now they commence with
new hides. Before the fire three hun
dred hides a day was the number used
and now they are putting in only one
hundred a day.
Hog Trespassed.
Mrs. F. E. Hannah and David Leech
both live near Rathmol at what Is
known as "Skunk Hollow." Mrs Han
nah owns a potato patch and Leech
owns a few swine. The swine trespass
ed on the potato patch and done con
siderable damage. The owner of the
potatoes sued the owner of the hogs for
(200.00 damage. The case was trlod be
fore 'Squire Neff Friday forenoon.
Thirteen witnesses were sworn on the
case. The owner of the hogs lost the
suit and had to pay ton dollars and costs.
When the plaintiff was on the witness
stand she put her loss at twenty-five
dollars.
An Old Settler.
Hugh Cooper, brother of our towns
man, Nlnlan Cooper, died at the home
of his brother, James, in Beech woods at
5.00 A. M. yesterday. The deceased cele
brated his "3rd birthday several weeks
ago. He was a bachelor and was one of
the old settlers of the Beechwoods.
He seemed to be worn out In life's bat
tle and died from old age. His funeral
will be held at the home of his brother,
James Cooper, this afternoon and his
remains will be burled in the Beech
woods comotery. Rev. Geo. R. Hill will
conduct the services. The docased was
a great bible student, in fact his read
ing was confined to the bible.
Democrat Ticket.
The Democratic primaries at Reyn
oldsville and surrounding precincts
Saturday was not very exciting. The
only ticket voted here was for Jury
Commissioner and committeemen. Dr.
J. B. Neale drove a hack to and from
the voting place until he got quite a
number of Democrats to vote. The
county convention was hold at Brook
ville Monday afternoon and the follow
ing ticket was nominated: For Con
gress, Wm. Falrman, of Punxsutawney;
Assemblyman, F. M. Bowman, of Clay
vlllo; District Attorney, Wm. L.
McCracken, of Brookville; Jury Com
missioner, C. C. Brown, of Oliver
township. B. H. Whltehlll, of Falls
Creek, was elected county chairman.
Malum in Jeff. Co.
About 1000 malitia men are now en
camping at the various mines near
Punxsutawney. The soldiers were
taken into that section last Friday.
Barring two or throe little outbreaks
everything has been quiet at Adrian
and Walston since the soldiers appeared.
Sixty new men were shipped into Wale
ton Monday with the understanding that
new mines were being opened and that
they could make big wages. When the
men arrived at Walston and found out
the true condition of affairs they refused
to work and were soon making arrange
ments to return to Buffalo from whence
they oame. It is claimed that a few
men are working at Anita who do not
want to work but are compelled to
work.
A Surprise.
Rev. J. C. McEntlre, of West Reyn
oldsville, is a member of the P. O. S. of
A. Commandery at DuBois, and last
Thursday being his birthday the Com
mandery decided to show their appre
ciation of him as a member and so eight
or ten members of the lodge drove to
this place on the evening mentioned
and brought a handsome and valuable
chair with them for a birthday present
for Mr. MoEntlre. The DuBois party
had written to Jasper McEntire that
thoy were coming and he and his wife
made loe cream and cake, but did not
hint to J. C. or his family about the
matter, and they were just about ready
to retire when the party invaded hi
home. Mr. McEntlre was greatly
pleased with the present and kind feel
ing its coming expressed.
Baby in a Basket.
It is not an uncommon thing to read
in the dally papers of babies being mys
teriously left at somebody's door, but it
is a rare thing to happen in our own
town. However, we can now give our
readers such a case. Last Friday night
about eleven o'clock Mr. and Mrs. C. J.
Kerr were awakened by a loud rap at
their front door. Mrs. Kerr thought
some of the neighbors were sick and
wanted her assistance, as she had been
called upon frequently before. When
Mrs. Kerr opened the door there was
no one to be seen. A basket was on the
porch and Mrs. Kerr still thought there
was some person about and she looked
around the bouse, but oould not see any
body. She picked up the basket and
was surprised when she opened it to see
a little girl baby two or three days old
lying in the basket. The baby was
dressed and an extra dress had been put
in the basket with it.
"Jim Dandy" Bands.
For some time we have been blowing
about the Keystone band being an or
ganization that the town has reason to
be proud of, and the boys proved last
Thursday that such praise was not all
wind by any means, when they covered
themselves with glory by winning the
first prize at the band tournament at
DuBois, and they had excellent bands
to compete with. The piece they play
ed for the prize was an overture en
titled "The Champion." The bend was
met at the 8.42 train Thursday evening
on their return from DuBois by a large
crowd of citizens and were escorted up
Main street amid cheers and red lights
burning at various places on the street.
The people were as anxious to see the
band after the victory they won as they
are to see a bride and groom make their
first appearance. The Keystone boys
have no uniforms, which they should
have by all means, and it is said when
they stepped up to take their turn In
the contest and Richard Ramsey, the
leader, took off his coat and threw It
onto the ground that some people who
did not know the band began to "guy"
them as a buckwheat band, but the boys
knew how to play a piece good enough
to win first prize that none of the eight
bands In the contest could play. You
can't always sometimes tell by the looks
of a toad how far it can hop. The Key
stone was composed of just as fine look
ing men as any band at the tournament,
but they did not wear uniforms.
While the Keystone is being praised
tor its fine music It should not be forgot
ten that the Prescottvllle band has few
superiors in this section as a musical
organization, and that it was only by an
accident that this band did not come In
for a larger prize than the fourth prize
which they won. When this band was
playing the contesting piece there was
one part to be played by one horn only
and at this particular point the horn,
on account of the heat and dust, refused
to perform Its work as it should have
done and the Prescottvllle band lost a
number of points there.
Won High Honors.
Through the ability of two of our
young people and the Keystone
and Prescottvllle bands Reynolds
ville received honors last week that
we are not ashamed of. On Tues
day, June 19th, Miss Gertrude Farrell
graduated from the St. Elizabeth Acad
emy at Allegany, N. Y., with the high
est honors of the graduating class
resting upon her. There were about
one hundred and fifty graduates who
came from all parts of the United
States, and yet ono of Reynoldsvllle's
handsome young ladles stood at the
head of the class. Miss Farrell's educa
tion Is not confined to books, music and
drawing only, but she can manage the
culinary department of a house to suit
the most fastidious epicurean, for
which, however, her mothor deserves
credit. There are too many girls in
our land to-day who can daub a little
paint on canvas or thump a piano to
pieces, who are no earthly good to
themselves or any person else. Miss
Farrell wears a gold medal that was
placed upon her by Monslgnor Satoll.
On June 20th Edward Drlsooll grad
uated from the St. Bona venture College,
Allegheny, N. Y., with the hthgest
honors of that institution resting upon
him. This school, like the St. Eliza
beth Academy, is filled with young
men from all parts of the oountry, but
Edward was too much for any or all of
them and he stood at the head. Ed
ward also received a gold medal from
the hands of Monslgnor Satoll. Edward
Is an orphan and we are glad he has
proven his ability to master the books of
a large college.
On Thursday the Keystone band won
the first prize at the band oontest at
DuBois and the Presoottvllle band won
the fourth prize.
W. W. Ford Dead.
William Wallace Ford, son of John
Ford, died at his home on Grant street
about five o'clock Monday evening
from gangrene, superinduced by heart
trouble, after Intense suffering for three
weeks. The deceased was confined to
the house for over six weeks. Over a
week before death gangrene set in on
bis left foot. Mr. Ford was 49 years
old. He was married to Elizabeth Eba-
man, daughter of Wm. Ehaman, at
Brookville twenty-seven years ago last
week. Eleven children were born unto
them, four boys and three girls are
living and four children proceeded the
father into the Great Beyond. Mr.
Ford moved to Reynoldsville about
fifteen years ago. He was one of the
Justices of the Peace of this borough,
having been elected by the Republicans
several years ago. He has followed
coal mining for a number of years. The
funeral services will be held in the
Presbyterian church at 9.00 o'oock this
morning, Rev. Jas. H. Jelbart will con-
duot the services. The deoeased was a
member of the P. O. S. of A., O. U. A.
M., K. of P., Redmen, G. A. R. and one
or two other lodge. Most all the
lodge will attend the funeral in a body.
Drowned Saturday.
James Hadden, nine year old son of
David Hadden, of Iowa' Mill, was
drowned in the dam at that place last
Saturday while in bathing. His re
mains were burled in the Moore oame-
tery at Emerlokvllle Sunday evening.
Rev. Jas. H. Jelbart conducted the
funeral service.
THE STRIKE SETTLED.
80MB CONCESSION MADE ON MA
CHINE MINING.
Citizen Petition the Company Miner
will go to work Thursday.
We stated last week that the Bell,
Lewis & Yates C. M. Co. had or
fered the miners a compromise of 40
cent for mining coal, but that thoy had
not accepted this because It was not a
compromise on the scale presented to
the company, as nothing was said about
that part of the scale concerning the
machine mining. As near as we can
learn from men whose word we do not
doubt, the truth of the case, notwith
standing any statements to the contrary,
Is about as follows: Before the strike
the company oould get machine coal
out for 25 cents a ton while the picked
coal cost them 35 cents, and the result
was the Iron men got all the cars they
oould load and the minors got a car
when there was any left. Miners have
gone to work in the morning and wait
ed until away along in the afternoon
and some times all day to get a car.
Certain statements were made in town
which were misleading and the miners
issued the following circular last Wed
nesday afternoon to place them In the
true light before the citizens of Reyn
oldsville and vicinity:
Reynoldsville, Pa., June 20.
A false phase ha been brought down
upon us as miners, as we have shown
a determination not to accept the com
promise offered us by our respective
company, because we consider that the
conditions offered us are not what we
term a compromise of our demands pre
sented to our employers.
The bone of contention between us
and our employers at present Is centered
on the low price paid for machine min
ing. Such work being done under
contract, men employed in loading coal
for contractors receiving the nominal
sum of 10 cents per ton for loading, they
have the privilege of what we term the
"free click system," which means that
they got all the cars they can load
Irrespective of what the pick miners
get, if that should be none.
We do this in order to explain to the
public that such statements made by
officials of our Company are altogether
one-sided and misleading. The greater
portion of those employed in machine
mining are Italians and Polanders. It
Is well known to the publio that the
soulless corporations of this country
are responsible for those people being
in our communities and it is our aim
and object, seeing that those people are
now in our midst and the laws of our
country protecting them, to treat them
with kindness, educate them to their
interests and extend to them the right
hand of fellowship. The day Is not far
distant when these people will cease to
be tools for corporate greed. We at
present stand ready and willing to ex
plain to the citizens and business men
of our community, who have so liber
ally contributed toward our support
during our conflict for living wages,
to whom we are extremely thankful for
the kindness they have extended to us
and to whom we hope to be able to
make a just return in the future.
These statements are the unanimous
expressions of the miners of Reynolds
ville. The men in meeting on the 19th
resolved to stand firm until victory is
won. Committee.
It will be seen by the above state
ment that the trouble now existing be
tween the men and the company is
about the machine work. The men ask
that an Increase of wages be paid for
machine mining and that the pick mon
get their turn of oar with the iron
men. Even at 40 cents the minors can
hardly make a living for themselves
and families because they would not got
the cars to load and, hence, they are
not willing to go to work unless the
matter is settled satisfactorily. There
are a large number of men here who
belong to the United Mine Worker of
America, but many men outside of this
organization are just as determined as
those in it to stand firm for their right.
The citizen of Reynoldsville be
come anxious to see an adjustment of
the trouble between the company and
men, and to give expression to that de
sire the following petition was signed
by all the business men of our town,
with the exception of three or four:
Bell, Lewis & Yates Coal Mining Co. or
their Representatives, Greeting:
As more than two third of the oper
ator and employee have met and
adjusted the scale of wages in accord
ance with the conclusions arrived at at
Columbus, Monday, June 11th, we, the
undersigned citizen of Reynoldsville,
feeling that our interests are largely
bound up with both employer and em
ployees and desirous of having an amica
ble settlement arrived at, do respectfully
petition the Bell, Lewis St Yates Coal
Mining Co., or their representatives to
meet a committee of their employees
and in that spirit of fairness that haa
always characterized your dealings
wnue operating this territory amicably
adjust the differences that seem to exist
at the present time. We believe the
company ought to make some conces
sions to retain the class of miners now
In their employ, as no better class of
men can be found anywhere in the ooun
try; and furthermore, if a settlement la
made on the basis of the compromise
reached at Columbus, inoluding an ad
justment of the wages paid all kinds of
labor, it will in our judgment be perma
nent.
This petition was presented to Gen'l
Manager Elliott on Friday evening by
J. Van Reed and H. Alex. Stoke. Mr.
Elliott agreed to meet a oommlttoe
from the miners and a citizen's oommlt
toe on Saturday evening to try and
make a settlement. The miner held a
mas meeting near Fuller' watering
trough at 2.00 p. M. Saturday and ap
pointed John Cottle, T. J. White and
Aaron Rlohards a the committee to
meet Mr. Elliott. The citizen' oom
mlttee was Dr. S. Reynolds, H. Alex.
Stoke and Jacob Sutter. The oom-
