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

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."

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.

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

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.

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.
