Pound in the Woods.
Jno. M.Dunklo was wandering through

ono day last woek and he noticed fresh
tracks in tho snow which led to an old
hollow tree. John ran a stick into tho

she must have at least ono pup. John
ran the stick In again and after consid

Too Boisterous.
Howard Steel, who has been a mem
ber of tho borough fnmlly for several
months, was taken to jnll Monday after
noon and will remain a charge on the
county until tho Court decides where ho
rightfully belongs. Howard is suffering
from mental embarrassment, mingled
with a little cussedness. Ho had been
amusing himself by kicking tho doors
at his boarding plueo and being so bois
terous that tho lady, who was boarding
him for tho borough, was afraid to have
him about tho house. For several days
before ho was taken to Brookvlllo ho
was kept locked In tho prison nt this
placo and his victuals were carried to
him.
Store Robbed.
Ono night last week somo person or
persons gained an ontrance Into W. W.
Wells' storo in West Reynoldsvllle by
prying open tho front door, and hulped
themselves to pop corn, chewing gum and
candy. Thero was forty cents in tho
monoy drawor which was taken. The
thief was tracked up Plko street to
Brown street by pop corn dropping on
the street. There has been several such
amaturo jobs done In Roynoldsvlllo dur
ing tho post year. It 1 evident from
the (act of what was taken that tho
guilty partlos have not reached maturi
ty. Tho flour and groceries in Mr.
Wells' storo wore not touched, and no
man is going to break into a store to
steal chewing gum and pop corn. This
kind of work will bo indulged in once to
often.
Two Days' Trip.
Ton or twelve members of the Key
stone band started out on Monday of
last weok expecting to visit Rldgway,
Johnsonburg, Bradford, Meadvllle, Oil
City and other towns in Western Penn
sylvania, with the view of at least get
ting a living out of it by playing in
front of business places. Most all the
members of the band are miners, and as
there was a strike on at this place they
adopted this plan of trying to get some
money. They "done" Rldgway first and
received encouragement there. In fact
all went well uutll thoy played in front
of the bank at Johnsonburg and the
cashier of that institution gave them
the enormous sum of ten cents. Thon
It was that the boys become discour
aged. They received word that the
mines would be opened on Wednosday
morning and they returned home Tues
day night.
Standard Worked Out.
Four years ago next month Cant Bros.
& Co., of Buffalo, N. Y., leased what is
known as the Standard mine, between
Prescottville and Rathmel, from John
H. Corbett, G. W. Fuller and Rufus
Kirk. This company have put out an
Immense amount of coal during the four
years, which they Bhlpped over the R,
& F. C. R'y to Falls Crook, tholr only
outlet. Now the mine is worked out,
which has thrown a number of men on
the market for employment. Goo. F,
Cant, who has been superintendent of
the mine, has proven himself a good
man for the position, one who under
stands the business. Mr. Cant does not
know where he will locate, as his com'
pany has not decided what they will do
yet. Mr, Cant may possibly remain in
Reynoldsvllle, but it la doubtful. John
Lowtber has beera mine boss for Cant
Bros. A Co. for over three years and a half.
He gave good satisfaction in that posi
tion both to the company and men. It
Is only a tew months ago that the em'
ployees of the Standard presented Mr.
Low t hor with a gold watch, chain and
charm.
That is What We Want.
Our own Hon. VV. O. Smith lins pre
sented a bill, which meets with general
favor in tho House, providing for tho
collection of taxes assessed against
aliens in the various counties of tho
Commonwealth from their employers,
upon presentation by tho collectors of
taxes of tho names and amounts. This
Is an act that Is badly needed not only
In Jefferson, but other counties of the
stato, as many, alas, too many, aliens
are employed in mines and factories.
They nra a blight nnd curso to our
country. They tako tho work from
loyal and honorable citizens, live on
almost nothing, send tholr money to
their native land, don't pay taxes, are
always ready to apply to tho poor
overseers for aid If they are In need,
are most always getting into troublo
and having cases In court that Is an ex-
penso to tho county, and their presonoo
In any community Increases tho taxes
of tho people. It Is time that not only
tho State of Pennsylvania, but the en
tire United States, mako laws that
thoso aliens or tholr employers ba mrdo
to help pay tho burden of expense that
Is Incurred by giving them tho privi
lege of landing on the shores of free
America. Wo claim that Smith's net
is a good one, although it docs not
reach far enough. Tho employers of
aliens should bo held responsible, to a
certain extent, (or tho expense these,
fellows throw onto tho county every
court.
Whose Boys Were They?
A party of quite young boys drove up
hero Saturday evening from Reynolds
vllle and bocumo somewhat Intoxicated
and boisterous. Two of tho number
that had been drinking beenmo so noisy
that officer Hoover took them off tho
street nnd locked them up till they
cooled off and then let them out to go
homo. Dubois C'mirrr.
Tho KrprtMt gavo tho names on Mon
day of tho two boys who were in tho
lock-up. Tho parents of ono boy live
on the cast end of Jackson street nnd
tho other boy lives in "Snydortown."
Tho Jackson street boy was at Sunday
school on Sunduy morning. The hoys
nro very young to Indulge In such
curousuls.

It Is True.
The publisher cf a county newspaper
nover lacks for adverse critics in any
community whore are to be found
scores of persons who are confident
they can conduot a better newspaper
with less effort than tho one published
in thoir midst. Therefore words of
praise for the hardworked country pub
lisher, who In most cases is a better
all-around nowspapor man than can be
found on many of the great dallies, are
fow and far between. Occasionally
thoy do oomo, and their rare presence
casts as much cheerfulness into the tur
bulence of every day life as the bright
sunbeam after a tempest. Brock way

Fireman Killed.
Wm. Lane, a fireman on the B., R. &
P. R'y, was instantly killed at Lanes
Mills Monday. There Is a tipple at that
point where englnos are coaled and it
was while taking coal that the man met
death by being caught between the
apron of the tipple and cab of the en
glno. His back and neck were broken.
The valves of the engine leaked and the
cylinder cocks were not left open and
the engine started and before the engin
eer could give his fireman notice or stop
the engine the man's body and soul had
separated. Tho deceased leaves a wife
and four children at Bradford.

Out for Pleasure.
About nlno young gents of Reynolds
vllle wero seized with a desire Sunday
afternoon to Indulge In a sleigh rldo to
tho cnpltol of tho county, and to gratify
that desire they engaged a two horse
turnout from Burns' livery stable and
started on their trip with hearts as
light ns somo of tholr pocket books.
Thero seemed to bo nothing but pleas
ure In store for them and all was de
lightful until they reached Emcrlok
vllle when their sled got tired holding
p so much enthusiastic humanity and
ono of Its main stays gave way. By tho
assistnncn of several clothes lines tho
sled wns recuperated sufficient to allow
tho gallant youths to again get aboard
and proceed on their journey. On a
steep place on the Port Barnott hill,
just as the boys were counting the cost
of the trip, the neckyoke broke and the
horses refused to hold tho sled on their
heels nnd they suddenly became frisky
nnd began fanning the air with their
hind feet. It Is hardly necessary to
say thero wns consternation among
tho young men. They did not
look for a soft place to alight but
rolled off any way, just so they got
off tho sled. Tho fellow who was
manipulating the lines did not loso his
head. Ho pulled tho horses off to one
sldo of tho road and they becomo un
hitched from the Bled and would have
gono down the hill at wild speed had
not the young man kept a tight grip on
the lines and was pulled out ovor the
front of the sleigh which was easily
done after tho horses had succeeded In
demolishing that part of the convey
ance nnd jerked over the Icy road a
short distance. Ono of the horses was
so badly crippled that it could not be
put into service again and tho young
men had quite a time getting into
Brookvlllo. Another sled from Reyn
olds vlllo soon followed and tho sled
without a team was coupled on behind
and they went into tho county seat
sticking onto the ono sled like files on a
lump of sugar. Annthor horse was
hired at Brookvlllo and tho crippled
horse left there under tho caro o( a vot
orlnarlan. Any of the following young men can
vouch (or tho correctness of tho above:
Frank Sutter, L. L. Oourley, Chas Wat
son, Chns Felcht, Chas. McKco, Vin
cent and Harry Reynolds, Thomas Noff
and Joseph Geislor.

(Hum's llornl
The devil never baits for dead fish.
Love nnd necessity are the only cures
for laziness.
Tho life of a bad man is a glimpso we
catch of tho devil's face.
It never makes a fact weigh any more
to put feathers in its hat.
The biggest kind of sinners generally
(eol religious In a graveyard.
Tho hypocrite Is only on his good be
havior when he thinks he is watched.
The shadow of the Almighty Is some
thing the devil's eyes cannot ponotrato.
A wise man can see all there Is in a
fool's head every time he opens his
mouth.
No man can say that he is all for the
Lord until he has laid his pocketbook
on the altar.
The man who can pay his debts and
won't do it, would Bteal If sure that he
wouldn't got caught.
It is astonishing how many kinds of
people the dovll can catch when he
baits his hook with monoy.
The devil sets no traps for the man
who expects to get to heaven by being
religious a couple of hours a week.
If you can't make a joyful noise unto
tho Lord in any other way, you can do
it by cheerfully dropping some money
Into the basket.
Whenever the gospel is faithfully
preached the man with the short yard
stick soon finds out that he has no busi
ness tn the church.
One reason why the devil is having
his own way so long is because so many
church members hate the prayer meet
ing and love the circus.
Too many church members think the
world ought to have been saved long
ago because they have now aud then put
a nickel in the collection basket.
School Question.
The most important matter for the
people of th'.s borough to decide at the
February election will be whether the
borough shall be bonded for $25,000 to
erect a new school building to accom
modate the scholars of Roynoldsvlllo. It
Is not necessary to take up space to
prove to our citizens that we need more
suhool room, this is patent to all the
citizens of Reynoldsvllle, and we hope
there is no intelligent person of the
place who will for one moment think of
voting against bonding the borough for
the purpose mentioned. Unless room
is provided tor the pupils the borough
will likoly lose the snug sum ot three
thousand dollars state appropriation.
The building could be erected cheap
now and it would give employment to
our mechanics and day laborers. If a
$25,000 building Is put up we can have a
summer high suhool which would bring
from the surrounding community the
very best class of young people, besides
keeping the young people of this place
at home who are now eompelled to go to
other towns to attend school Surely
the man that cares (or the education ot
his children will not vote any other
way than (or bonding the borough.
