V. H. Heckendorn, of Perry town
ship, this county, has been appointed a
collector for the Bureau oflndrustlal
Statistics in the counties of Jefferson,
Indiana. Clarion and Forest. Mr.
Heckendorn began last week to gather
statistic in his district for the forth
coming annual report of tho Bureau.
Associate judges in Jefferson county
are a thing of the past since our county
has become, big enough to stand alone,
judicially, and the present term of court
is tho first regular session held without
the associate judges being conspicuous,
apparently, for no other purpose than
to occupy the easy chairs, provided for
them, und draw their pay for same.
On Saturday, Feb. 8th, tho Pittsburg
Itisjmtrh celebrated its 50th anniversary
by giving its readers a paper, tho
equal of which has never been circulat
ed in this section of the country. A
copy of this mammoth 44-paged edition
found Its way to our exchange table
last Saturday morning, one week lato.
"Tho Divpatch is an up-to-date, newsy
daily paper.
Th sage of the Punxsutawney jVettvt
says: "It is a bad Idea to boom a town.
Citizens should do what they can to
nootirugH enterprise and prosperity,
but to inflate its advantages with a
great hurrah in ordor to fill the town
with a population seeking work or to
vmbark in business, reaction usually
follows and such a boomed town finds a
big population on its hands with noth
ing for it to do. Bettor make haste
slowly.
Stop grumbling. When it is too dry
vre grumble; when it is too hot or too
cold we grumble: if there is no snow we
are not pleased and when we got a foot
of the "beautiful" we grumblo. If crops
are short we grumble, or if plentiful,
prices are too low. If our neighbor in
too friendly, or if ho is inclinod to be
reserved we complain. . It is grumble
from morning until night, spring, sum
mer, fall and winter. Did we create
the earth and heavens or can we rule,
the temp future and scusons to suit us?
What a queer world this would be if
every old chronic grumblor hud his way.
Let us take our bunds off and let Provi
dence control affairs.
Judging from the last issue of the
Emporium Echo, the sheriff of Cameron 1
county und the odltor of the Echo, John
Johnston, brother of our highly es
teemed und gentlemanly townsman,
Jus. K. Johnston, member of the Reyn
oldsville Hardware Co., are not on the
most friendly terms. The sheriff made
certuin statements in Emporium, derog
atory to Johnston's character. TH
aforesaid official gave Frank J. Black,
'former odltor of the Reynoldsvllle
Pujicrjor whom Johnston worked, credit
with having given him the information.
In lust wuk' Ufcue of the Echo Mr.
Black denied having told the sheriff
anything that reflected on Mr. Johns
ton's character. At the time Johnston
worked on The Paper for Mr, Black, ye
editor of The Stab was foreman of Mr.
Black' office, and we want to arite and
remark right here that Mr. Johnston
was an upright young man aud behaved
himself like a gentleman while au em
ployee of The Fajter office.
Valentin Party.
Harold Eugene Arnold celebrated the
anniversary of his birthday by giving a
"Valentine party"' last Friday evening
at the home of his parents on (irunt
street. The invitations were issued on
heart-shaped cards. Over forty young
people were present. As tho young
people entered tho parlor they found
two ladles at tho door who tied a heart,
with a number on It, onto ench gentle
man und a dart, with a number on it,
onto each lady. Tho first amusement
of tho evening was an "observation
test." Tho company was divided, tho
Indies in one room nnd tho gentleman
In another, and each lady was given a
heart-shaped card with a gentleman's
name on it and the gentlemen's cards
contained a ladies name, and they were
to draw a picture of the person whoso
name was on tho card and also write a
description of tho same person, giving
color of hair, color of eyes, height, how
dressed, cc, then the cards were
gathered up, tho guests assembled In
tho parlor and Mrs. Arnold stood In tho
midst thereof and each one stood up In
turn beside her while the picture
drawn of them wns held up for Inspec
tion nnd tho description was read. Two
judges had been appointed to decide
who drew the best picture of their
subject and gave the most correct
description of same. The first prizes
were awatded to Chits, Dickinson, a
heart-shaed celluloid pen wiper, and
Miss Julia Stoke, a china after dinner
cup and saucer, and the "booby" prizes
were given to Miss Mlnntn Prlester, a
heart-shaped cake cutter, and Dr. R. E
Harbison, a red flannel pin cushion
with the word booby on it. Tho next
on tho program was refreshments, and
then it was that the young people
learned tho meaning of tho numbers on
hearts and darts they received when
first entering tho parlor. The numbers
were to couple them off for supper.
Their places at the tables were designat
ed by white and gold heart-shaped
cards pierced with carnations with
numbors on cards to correspond with
tho numbers on hearts and darts worn
by the guests. After refreshments a
sheet with a largo red heart upon it
was pinned on wall, tho guests wcro
blind-folded, given a dart and were to
seo who could come tho nearest sticking
tho dart in tho center of tho heart.
Miss Baum, of DuBois, got the first
prize, a heart-shaped china pin tray,
and Mr. Munch, of DuBois, tho first
prize for gentlemen, a silver satchel tag;
Joseph and Miss Annie Mitchell got
the "booby" prizes, frames of siectaclcs
without glasses in them. Tho out of
town guests present were Mr. Munch
and Miss Jennie Buum, of DuBois,
Misses Madallno Whltehlll and Milda
Irwin, of Brookvlllo, Alice Allen, of
Parker, and Jessie Shaffer, of New
Bethlehem.

An Old Trick.
An exchange says that a rank old
swlndlo Is being worked up by a sharper
who, in tho disguise of a tramp, goos to
a house and asks for something to eat.
Whether accommodated or not just as
be leaves he pretends to pick up a ring
from tho ground. He makes Inquiry
for its ownership and says it is marked
eighteen karot, und is handsomely en
graved. No one about tho house knows
anything about it, and he then offers to
sell it. In some instances ho has suc
ceeded in getting as high as three
dollars for it, but has disposed of some
tor a dollar each. These rings cost
about ninety cents a gross.
A Correction,
I wish to correct the statement, or
misstatement rather, In the Volunteer
of 12th Inst., that the "Baptist church,
by a unanimous voto, decided not to ao-
oept the resignation of Rev. E. Lewis
Kelley which was offered some time
ago." It should read that the "Baptist
church, by a very small minority vote,
decided not to accept the resignation of
Rov. E. Lewis Kelley." R. L. MILES.

Qood Material.
In this Issue of THE STAR will be
found the announcement of Prof. R. B.
Teltrlek, principal of the Brockway
ville schools, as a candidate for county
superintendent, subject to the decision
of the Jefferson county School Direc
tor's Convention, May 6th, 18IM1. Prof.
Teltrlek Is a bright young man and hns
the qualifications to make an excellent
county superintendent. His father was
killed in the lumber business when he
was a lad two years old, and from the
tlmo he was old enough he hns had to
"paddlo his own canoe." Prof, has
worked on a farm, In the woods and
behind the counter. He Is a State
Normal graduate, also holds a diploma
from tho Inter-State School of Methods,
and has attended thn National Normal
University at Lebanon, Ohio. . His
entire education has been along the
lino of school work, and to this work he
has given thought and practice. His
teaching experience covers a period of
twelve years and Is varied by work In
all grades. Tho Prof, believes In
system for school work and docs his
work along thnt line. He is of the
opinion, and rightly to, that without
system no business can prosper, and
thnt system Is just as applicable to
school work as It is to any other
business. '
We think Prof. Teltrlek Is tho right
kind of material for a county superln
tendent and unhesitatingly say that the
school directors of Jefferson county will
not miss it by electing him to the
superlntendoney of tho schools of this
county. No doubt all the directors of
tho county will have an opportunity to
see Prof, and converse with him before
the tlmo for tho convention goes by,
and this will he no drawback to his
candidacy, as ho Is a good talker and a
manly looking follow.

An Instructive Meeting.
A highly Instructive and entertaining
program was rendered at tho meeting
of the Educational Association Satur
day evening.
The first number on tho program,
"Tho Vertical System of Writing," was
given to tho meeting for general discus
sion. The arguments given In favor of
Its ndoption were: It is tho natural
method; Is more legible; can bo written
more quickly; occupies less space; gives
tho writer a better position; and It does
away with the difficulty of teaching
position of the pen, as the child Is al
lowed to adopt Its own method of pen
holding.
Tho subject of "Reading Matter for
Young People" was opened by Miss
Myrtle Gelst who gave some very good
Ideas as to what should constitute the
literary study of tho pupils of our
schools. Good literature should lie put
Into the hands of the primary pupils
and such nonsense an, "I see Ann and
her dog" should lw thrown aside. A
tnsto for good literature Is tho corner
stone of n good education. To create
this taste, biography and stories of pa
triotism should bo read, and a study of
tho poetical works should be made
Having acquired a tasto for such read
ing, the child hns no desire to read
trashy matter. Prof. Doane thinks this
subject Is not given due Importance In
the school room, as Is shown by the Ig-
norancn of pupils of even the names of
some of our famous llternry production.
This may be the result In great part of
the material furnished tho pupils, tho
home and school libraries being usually
Insufficient. Ono series of reading
books, "Tho Heart of Oak" was suggest
ed as containing a woll graded amount
of reading matter and Including a great
many of tho masterpieces of the lan
guage A good history for primary
reading Is Montgomery's, for advanced
Is FIsk'B. Additional remarks were
mado by Mr. Mitchell, Prof. Hawthorne
and Mr. Postlewait who regrets that
Reynoldsvlllo Is producing no poet or
author.
Tho preparation of a paper on the
Important events of tho last yenr, was
undertaken by Miss Hannah Stauffor,
and tho result showed a thorough InveS'
tlgatlnn of the difforont subjects that
have been agitating the public mind.
Topics from the industrial, the political,
the educational and the medical world
were considered. Among tho subjects
notod wore: tho establishment of peace
between China and Japan; tho Siberian
railway; tho building of tho Hnrlem,
Puget and Nacarauga canals; tho ftorso-
less carriage; the Atlanta exposition;
admission of Utah; compulsory educa
tion law; troublo In South Africa, Ar
menian trouble; sale of Govt, bonds? and
tho North Polo.
The Vonczuolnn and the Cuban oub-
jects. which1 nro now attracting atlen
tlon, wore given special notico, a fill!
dlscuseibn and explanation of each be
ing made. In conclusion a plea was
made for tile teaching of enrront event
in our s.tllools.
