This frightened the horses and they started to run down Main street. Mr. Prlester waa sitting on the rear part of the wagon and had no box on the wagon and oould not hold the horses a he had nothing to brace himself against. The hones ran into a buggy in which two old men were riding and they were thrown out and were both injured, one in the back and the other on his head. Mr. Prles ter waa thrown off the wagon and dragged some dlatanoe by one of the hind wheels. He escaped without serious injury, but bad his right arm badly skinned. Water and Errs. Ah umbrella mender who lind boon In Reynoldsvlllo several days Indulged In "tangle foot" Monday and about noon decided tho town needed a little excite ment and he forwlth proceeded to dis pel the quietness In front of Bcli nitre's store by getting a barrel, sticking a small flag on top of the barrel, mount ing achalr and began using his lung powers In making a sjieeeh, which, how ever, was short. The speaker claimed to bo an old soldier. He Raid Orover Cleveland and Hoke Smith owe him a pension. While giving vent to his grievances and maklngashnwnf himself in general a bucket of cold water scatter ed "galley west" on tho sivakers head and ran Into his mouth and down his spinal column. This was such a shook to the man, esieelnlly getting tho water Into his mouth, that his elouenee de serted him and he almost forgot his subject. He mounted the chair again and was making an attempt to gather his stray thoughts when stain eggs wero dying through spaon andoxplodlng near the speakers' stand. That was too much even for an umbrella fixer. The nmn succeeded In creating an excite ment for a half hour among the small boys who wore plaguing him. The man got a little boisterous and when Mr. Addlospnrgor told him to keep quiet tho fellow said, "Reynoldsvlllo wants some excitement." Uncalled for Censure. A few of tho good people of Reynolds vllle have been unduly exercised during the past week because we gavo place In our columns lust week to a series of res olutions handed us for publication by a committee from tho V. M. W. of A., said resolutions commenting adversely on a sermon preached by Rev. Johnson, pastor of the Presbyterian church Tho object of a newspaper Is to glvo tho Mews and every editor measures his suc cess by his ability In furnishing the news, and so any communication hand ed us that Is couched In decent lunguago and free from x-i-soniilltles and Immoral taint, we feel under obligations to pub lish. Following this rulo when said resolutions were handed In and care fully scrutinized wo could sea nothing In them to preclude their publication. Mr. Johnson Is a public man and ho ex pressed himself publicly, and judging from his resMinse, which will bo found In this issue, and from a private conver sation wo had with him, he does not censure us for giving space to the reso lutions. It must bo remembered that a newspaper Is published In the interest of tho public, and is not a family affair. We bollove those who havo censured us do not understand the position a news paper holds In tho community whore publishod, nor havo they thoughtfully considered tho matter unbiased. New Proprietor. For five years Thomas Groon and John Marks Consor have boon proprie tors of Hotol Bolnap, but they are no longor responsible for tho treatment the guests at that hostelry will receive, as they have sold their Interest to L. 8. McClelland, formerly a olerk In the company store at this place. Groon & Consor are both pleasant men and they done a good buslnoss while proprietors of Hotel Bolnap. The new proprietor will certainly keep up the reputation of the houso. Green and Censer are build ing now dwelling houses on Fourth street Into which they expect to move as soon as the houses are finished. Too Much Sun and Oas. Last Friday just as Old Sol was noar lng tho zenith Miss Verna Blng waa overcome by the heat and fainted. She had washed her hair and was standing in the sun to dry it when she lost con trol of her mental faculties. There la danger in even washing the hair. Not long ago Miss Roberta Ayers of this place washed her hair and hold It over a gas Ore to dry. There was a flash, scream and Roberta waa minus enough hair to put up In the latest fashion. While Miss Bing did not loose her hair she, like Miss Ayers, almost lost her head. An Impostor. Revnoldsvtlle, July 31st. Mr. Editor: It is seldom that any citizen has to take up tho pen to warn the citizens of any place who are char itably disposed against an impostor. There is a man in Reynoldsvllle who is collecting money ostensibly for the pur pose of defraying his expenses for hos pital treatment for a burned arm, when all collections he makos are used for 11 legitimate purposes. He uses consld erable of the money contributed by the generous public for beer. I Btand ready to prove the assertions I make in this communication. H. C. Feath, Worthy of None.

Comfortable, stylish and good wear ing shoe, told by Henry A. Reed "the hoe man." REV. JOHNSON'S RESPONSE. To hwnl Union JVo. Bit, V. M. V. fA.! Your resolutions published In lost week's Issue of TllR Star both delight ed and dlsapMilntod mo. They delight ed me, first, because they show that you have an Interest In your own honor and welfare; and, second, because they were a virtual Invitation to mo to write you this letter. I was disapMilnted, first, because your committee did not visit me; second, because your committee failed to sign their names to the resolu tions; third, because I have been entirely misrepresented In the whole body of resolutions; fourth, because your haste and indiscretion may entail cruel suffer ing on my wife In her present weak physical conditions should she learn of the misunderstanding between us. So far as my personal feelings are con cerned, I am not In tho least annoyed by your resolutions, for I rather ex peel ed some of you to get angry; but I believed then, and still hollovo, that when you understand mo, you wilt say I have proven myself one of your truest friends. I fear the members of your committee were not present to hear my sermon, If they were, then I am astounded beyond all measure that they should have so nilsundorstcxxl me. I have but little doubt that whoever circulated the re port of my sermon csmo to the church to hear the capitalist slandered and tho laborer praised. Ho exioctod of me what I had no right to do, and, there fore, was disappointed. You believe It my duty to denounce the sins of capital ists and corxiratlons. I believe It also; and had your committee attended my hurch on tho evening of July R, IH!i4, and on ono or two occasions previous to that, Its members might have under stixid clearly enough that I hod no sympathy with tboso who "oppress the hireling In his wages." But do you not bollove also that I should reprove tho laborer for his sins? I do; and, there fore, on tho morning of the 15th of July I called attention to a number of tho sins of the laboring man, and nsM!clally those that havo been noticeable during tho recent strikes all over the country. I did not think It wise to delay this ser mon until everybody had forgotten about these strikes, that would make the sermon old and stale, entirely do void of xtwer; but I believed that it should lie delivered at the time selected,' when pooplo would be in a mood to hear it, and its truths might come forth with burning force. To reprove sin after It hits boon forgotten by those who com mitted it, Is as foolish as to administer modlcino to a man after he Is dead; and to reprove so mildly that no one knows that ho has been reproved is extremely foolish and weak. Now my dear broth ers, I would reprove the sins of both the capitalist and laborer even though I wore sure tho nnxt moment would bury me a mile deep under the bitterest Im precatory resolutions. But I said you will agree with me as soon as you un derstand mo, therefore hear my defense: My sermon opened with the declara tion that I was not taking sidos with either Capital or Labor, but as a minis ter of Christ was about to point out the sins of one party as I had of the other. I then spoke highly of the orderly con duct of the miners of our community during the recent strike, but regretted that we heard so many expressions of sympathy for the lawless outbreaks in other places. Referring to the strike at Chicago I mentioned a number of acts that wore self evident transgres sions of the law (Judge Grossouup's recent charge to the special U. S. grand jury will more than bear me out in my statements). I mentlonod also the very unwise step of Mr. Debs In reproving the President for sending troops to Chi cago; and added that very probably one of our foolish popular customs had en couraged him to make the blunder. We American people are in the habit of senselessly criticising and condemn' leg the president of the United States and other officials who do not belong to our party. When sensible men do this in their homea and places of business, It encourages the less thoughtful classes to be still bolder In their denunciations, and these in turn encourage others, and so down to the criminal classes whose denunciations at last end In anarchy. Now, my brethren, if that declaration involves the laboring man it also In volves every other American citizen, and if I am to be denounced, the whole country ought to do it. At another time I referred to a gentleman whom I had personally reproved for not doing better by his men. This man answered me be by saying, "What's the use, these men are ignorant and would only spend their money over the bar for drink any way." I then pointed out the sad neglect of education in our own and other communities, and dwelt on the awful habit so many laboring men have of squandering money for drink, while their families suffer. If laborer would acknowledge their faulta more readily, much more oould and would be done for them. I did not say in this sermon or in any other, that laborers had no right to organize for self protection. I believe they have; and if they failed to or ganize, I should be tempted to un dertake that work for them imme diately. I did say, though, that they had abused their rights in lm posing on themselves and the public (Continued on ilhpoge.) PERSONALS. (). It. Johnston Is In Franklin this week. D. M.
