We havo had (13 days of good sleigh ing, but unless wo get a fresh supply of the "beautiful" the runners will give way to tho wheels. Tho people have no reason to complain If tho snow does go. Good use has been made of tho snow in tho past sixty days. A largo number of sleighing parties have gono out from Reynoldsvillo this winter. Tho Dubois ('oii)iVr made anything but complimentary remarks about the Reynoldsville school houso before tho election, nnd tho assertions wero so truo that The Star did not attempt to dony that the paper was right. Tho abnvo facts being truo It would not havo been out of place for tho (VwnVr to have informed Is readers that tho citizens of Reynoldsville voted almost unanimous ly on tho 19th inst. to build a new ?2."i,- 0(H) school house. Mr. nnd Mrs. A. W. Adams, who reside near Presenttvillo, were honored by a surprlso party from a number of their Scotch friends of Rathmel Satur day evening.

Nlcklo, who has been running a store in the Woodward building for several years, Is moving her store this week into the room formerly occupied by Reed's shoe store. Miss Nicklu, by selling goods cheap and dealing strictly honest with all her customers, has suc ceeded In building up a large trade, which she expects to hold in the now location, and also solicits the patronage of others. Her stock is first-class, prices low and she is polite to her customers. A small frame house opposite the Catholic cemetery, which has been used for a polling place for the voters of West Wlnslow since West Reynolds ville became a borough, was burned down about one o'clock Wednesday af ternoon. Tho origin of the firo is sup posed to havo resulted from children playing with fire. The alarm raised quite an excitement in Reynoldsvillo as It was reported that the tannery was on fire. The fire company responded but their service was not required. Saturday night Bort Woodward and Chaa. MoKee were stopped on Main street, near C. Mitchell's office, about ten o'clock by four follows who had boon Biipping from the intoxicating cup. One of the men began to tear tho cape off Bert's overcoat, but ho found he had jumped onto the wrong man and he would have received what ho juBtly deserved had not one of his "pards" como to the rescue and dealt Bort a hard blow on tho right check which resulted in a black eyo and cut lip for tho young pedagogue. Tho four "toughs" should havo boon arrested and lodged In tho cooler. One of them was arrostod about two hours afterwards for disorderly conduct and locked up until Sunday evening. Two picture.' agents "struck" West Reynoldsville yesterday morning and one of them began selling pictures with out a borough license. Constable Riggs arrested tho fellow and took him before Burgess Herpel. The agent refused to pay license and was locked up to await a trial In the afternoon. Tho one who was at liberty telegraphed to tho com pany at Chicago they represent and re ceived an answer to suo tho borough for $5,000 damage for locking up tholr man. Tho trial was held In the coun cil chamber of that borough with C. Mitchell as attorney for the borough and M. M. Davis for plaintiff. The agent was fined 13.00 and costs, which he refused to pay and was allowed to go bis way. There seems to be a doubt about the ordinance requiring a license to take orders and sell goods from house to house "holding water." Sock Order. The Reynoldsvillo Woolen Mill Co. has received an order for three thous and dozen pairs of socks from one party. A Correction. Wo made a mistake In reporting the result of tho election In Wlnslow town ship and had Edward Jones elected as supervisor Instead of Sam'l Fyo, who run ahead of Jones just two votes.

Thomas Sypbrlt, of McKean county, who is visiting his brothor-ln-law, Arn old McKee, In West Reynoldsville, had a stroke of paralysis last Friday which will very likely result In death. Mr. Syphrlt Is thirty-seven years old. Can't Begin too Soon. At tho regular meeting of tho school bonrd, which will bo held next week, plans will bo made to begin work on the new school houso as soon as possible. The board will certainly not think of putting up anything but an "up-to-datn" school houso. Setting Up Machinery. Tho new machinery for the Reynolds villo Novelty Manufacturing Company has arrived and is now being wit up In the Centennial building and will soon be in working order. All tho machln has not arrived yet. Tho balanco will como next week. Traffic Increasing. Thn freight traffic Is hettor on tho A. V. R'y now than It has been for some time, especially throuuh freight, such as steel and iron being shipied from Pittsburg east. Four solid trains of stool and Iron, passed east over tho Low Grade Sunday. Considerable produce has loen shipped west over the rond in tho past two months. Powder Exploded. Two Italians wero badly burned In tho Big Soldier mine Monday afternoon by a keg of powder exploding. One of the Ikes had gono Into the mine that day for the first time and ho was watching his "pnrd" mako a "cartridge" to fire a shot when a spark from one of their lamps foil Into the keg of powder. It Is a miracle they were not knocked Into "kingdom como." Keep on a "Hustle." Tho wind is blowing favorable for the Now York syndicate to erect their large pig iron furnacfls at Reynoldsville. If the syndicate proposes to locate at the place that will ho most advantageous to their interest, how can they do other wise than come to this town. Notwith standing the fact that our town can meet all the requlrments of the syndi cate in site, coal, railroads, Ac., Ac, yet It would bo well for our citizens to koep on their "hustle" until the syndi cate finally decides whore they will lo cate. A Gas Leak. On Monday morning the court house nt Brookvillo was full of gas and the gas company notified the commissioners to put all the pooplo out and lock tho building until tho leak was found. The court house was locked up and men were put to work digging along the line outside of the court house. Soon after dinner it was discovered that tho inch pipe that foods the lamp in front of the court house had broken. After this had been repaired and still the court house was full of gas, Judge Clark adjourned court until the May term. After tho trouble was mndo known Monday morning it was hardly neces sary to lock the court houso; as no one cared to linger around the building. Eighty Volumes. Last Friday was a "red lotter day" for the West Roynoldsville schools. Prof. Mitchell, Maggie Butler, Jennie White, the teachors, and tho scholars of the school are making special efforts to got a good library in the school, and they decided to observe Washington's birthday by having a "book reception." As a result eighty new volumes wore added to the library that day, which makes a total now of one hundred and twenty-soven volumes in tho library. A list of tho now books and thodonators will bo found In this issuu of THE STAK. Specimens of very nleo work done by the pupils adorned the walls of Prof. Mitchell's room. Ushers were station ed in tho hall and visitors wero taken to any part of the building they desired to go. Narrow Escape. Eight ladles, members of the P. O. D. of A. of Dubois, came to Reynoldsvillo In a slod Thursday evonlng to attend tho "blow, out" given by the P. O. S. of A. at this place. The party crossed tho R. & F. C. R'y track at Prescott vlllo about nine o'clock In a snow Btorm and the drlvor did not hear or soe the coal train coming until his horses wero on the track and tho engine a short dis tance from them. The driver had presence of mind enough to turn his team off tho track just as the iron horse whizzed past within a foot of the sled. It will be impossible for any member of that party to ever receive a greater fright than they did at that time. Of course they all escaped with' out even a scratch, yet they felt a cold chill from the breath of the Monster Death as it passed by. A Literary Dissertation. Bt Eooak A. Po-Etic (W. J. Weavcrl.

Vsc naught hut gisul tobacco and He careful what you "Chaucer." Sleighing Episode. Thursday afternoon two Reynoldsvillo youths who have not yet begun to culti vate hirsute between the huso of tho proboscis and tho edge of the upper Hp, put on a "boiled" shirt, a good sup ply of "smoll-em-good," hitched a big bay horse into a two seated sleigh, got the choice of tholr young affections from tho gentler sex into the sleigh, and the four drove to Brookvillo. Af ter supper the young people started for home and they had so much confidence in the "beast of burden" that the lines wero wrapped around tho whip and tho whip was dropped 4n the front part of the sleigh. The horse did real well In keeping In tho road for ashort distance, hut missed it on a big snow drift and an accident occurred. After tho excite ment abated It was discovered that a shaft had (Men snapped In twain. The girls were taken to a farm houso hardby and the boys tramped the neighbor hood o'er trying to borrow a pair of shafts, but failed. They were in a pre dicament. A broken shaft, light poekot-books, long distance from home, two girls to care for, the farmer's beds all full before they arrived. One of the maidens wanted to walk back to Brook villo to "grandpu's." It was finally decided that tho young people could hold down tho chairs in the parlor if they wanted to. They sat up all night and made such a racket that the family could not sleep. In the morning the boys stood around the barn yard with their hands In their pockets watching tho farmer lad repair tho broken shaft. How About It? There is no reason why Roynoldsville could not have a Y. M. C. A. It would not cost an Immense amount of money, but It would be an everlasting benefit to many of the boys of our town, not only now but In after life. Boys will elthor read, be amused or loaf. "Ah! there Is tho rub." What do they read? How are they amused? Where do they loaf? Can you answer, parents? How are the boys of this town sowing? Im portant questions these are. If no one else will start tho ball a rolling for a Y. M. C. A., what Is the matter with tho Christian Endoavors and Epworth Leaguo putting tholr shoulders to the wheel? How aliout it? There was talk sometime ago that tho B., L. A Y. C. M. Co. would help along some such en terprise. If no ono else takes hold of this mutter tho editor of this paper will make an effort to see what can be dono. Wo need some placo for tho young men to assemble to spend their time profit ably, either for physical or mental Im provement, and a good Y. M. C. A. would provide just such a placo. If the B., L. A Y. C. M. Co. or any person, or persons of this town want to becomo philanthropists in a true senso of the word, let thorn now hold up their hands and say what they will do to aid ir get ting a Y. M. C. A. in Roynoldsville. New Stores. A new grocery store will be opened In one of the store rooms In Centennial building about the first of April by G. II. Mundort and Sam'l S. Robinson, of Ila.leton, Kansas. These gentlemen have boon In the grocery business In Hazloton for ten years and understand the business. A Philadelphia gentleman has rented one of the large store rooms In the Reynolds brlok block and will open a large clothing store in the room about the first of April. C. S. Armagost will open a grocery store in the room next door to the post- offloe. WASHINGTON'S BlUTi Junior O. U. A. M. Ptescnlrtt I io I with a flag. Tho .Junior O. U. A.

Mil, It was as pretty it little proc ssieii as ever paraded our streets Th. r nu n something like two hundred e lldr. n in line and almost every ono of them lu.d u flag. It wus a largo display n( 'Old Glory" In small form, and llio tl ilu "tots" that carrl. d tho slurs and strip"s would break out frequently In loud hur rahs. A cold, still breeze was blowing nt tho time Bnd when the children wero stationed In front of the school Iioiim they soon had tho patriotism knocked out of them and muny shivered nnd suf fered from tho cold. Rev. E. Lewis Kel loy, tho Buptht minister, made the presentation speech, and Prof. Hilllard. principal of tho school, respoiuh d. Tlio now flag was run up on top of the build ing, and tho school children sang.''Red, White and Blue." A largo crowd be sides tho scholars wore present to wit ness tho ceremony, but tho crowd was not as largo as it would of boon had thu day been warmer. Corwln, tho photographer, and Imls Molllnger took pictures of the crowd while thn flug was bolng presented. Banquet and Mishap. The P. O. S. of A. of Reyiioldsvlllu held a banquet in tho Reynold brick block Thursduy evening which was a pleasant affair. It wns tho regular mooting night of tho lodgo and a short session wits held early In the evening after which a number of invited guests mot in tho lodgo room where speeches and songs wero indulged In until after ten o'clock and then It was announced that supper was ready. Three long tables wero spread In one of the store rooms on thn first floor and wero loaded ed with good things. After tho supper was over the people ascended tho stairs to tho lodge room and listened to the remainder of the program prepared for the evening. About midnight, when the mooting was drawing to a close, a mishap occurred that raised a great ex citement In tho lodge room. Two Du bois ladles were standing In tho ante room talking, ono with her back to tho stove, and several people wanted to pass by and tho ludy stepped back and upset the stove. The matting was good tin dor for the hot couls. Fortunately there was not much fire In tho stove at the time and tho hot coals wero gather ed up before any moro damage was dono than to destroy a little matting. There were from seventy-five to one hundred peoplo in tho lodge room who had no way of escapo only through tho ante room or jump out of the third story window, and it is hardly necessary to add that whon tho alarm was given and tho smoke began to roll Into tho lodge room that there were a number of peo plo badly frightened.
