Will Help Tax Collector.
We understand that the Jefferson &
Clearfield Coal & Iron Co. at this place
propose to assist the tax collectors in

Polanders who work for the company
by deducting the amount of taxes from

difficulty In trying to get taxes from

right and proper that evory one of
thorn should pay taxes and about the
only way to get It from tho majority of
them is to get it through their employ
ers.

Narrow Escape.
Kenneth, two-year-old son of F. K. A.
Alexander, had a narrow escape from
falling out of a second story window
Sunday afternoon. Mr. Alexander is
living in the Baptist parsonage until
his new residence on Grant street is
ready for occupancy, and the windows
In the second story ot the parsonage are
low enough for a little "tot" like Ken
neth to got on the window sills. Sunday
afternoon he crawled on to a second
story window sill, got his back up
against tbe window, put his little foet
on his papa's chair and stretched his
logs. Out went tbe light of gloss and
Konneth was going over the window
sill backwards just as bis fathor caught
htm by the feet. The light of glass,
which was a large one, as there are
only two lights in a window, struck on
one corner and stuck in tbe frozen
ground with a small piece broken off
tbe corner of the pane.
Lost Their Money in New York.
Frank Loo, who worked for H. S.
Bolnap in the wholesale liquor store,
and Peter Manouso, who worked for the
A. V. R'y Co., left this place several
weeks ago to visit the land of tbelr
nativity, Italy. At New York they
bought tholr tickets and had tbelr U.
S. money exchanged for Italian money.
Just as they were leaving the bank an
Italian, almost breathless, met them at
the door with a satchel in bis bands
and a ticket for Italy. He seemed
greatly excited and hastily explained to
Frank and Peter that the police were
on his tracks and that be had to skip
for the boat. He said his satchel con
tained 130,000 and he asked Frank and
Peter to give him the Italian money
they had, take the $.10,000 and have it
exchanged into Italian money, then
lake out the amount they bad given
him and send tbe balanoe to Italy to an
address he -gave them. Frank and
Peter stepped into the trap and had to
sail from New York for Italy without a
cent in tboir pockets, for when they re
turned to tbe bank and opened the
aaUihel they found only two bags of salt
in it. Frank gave the Ike three
hundred dollars and Peter gave Mm
fifty dollars.
An Electric Light Plant.
It was mentioned In The STAB last
week that the town council had grant
ed the right of way to the Reynolds
ville Light, Hent and Power Co. to
establish an cleotrlo plant and have use
of streets and alleys to erect polos.
The town council will havo to pnss an
ordinance at tho next regular meeting
making provisions for tho rights asked by
tho Electric Co., and tho ordinance will
have to bo published threo times after
the first reading before it beeomcs a
law. No work will bo dono until the
ordinance has passed second reading
and entered nn the statute hooks of tho
borough, which will require two months
time. After that It is the present la
tention to begin work on tho electric
plant and get It in operation as soon as
possible. It was outside capital tuut at
first proposed to put la thu plant and
may do it yet but there is talk now of
Reynoldsvlllo capital being Invested In
the plant.
We believe an electric light plant
would bo a paying investment in Reyn
oldsville and our people should see to It
that outside capital should not be In
vested In the plaut. Raise the money
at home and sturt the plant. If foreign
capital controls an electrlo light plant
hero our people will dii-covor, when too
late, that they allowed a good thing to
go into the hands of people who are not
interested in the town, only to get what
money they can out of It.

ble. We did not learn tho Immediate

Conscientious Fellow.
It may be a surprise to some people
to know that a man can be found in
these days who is so conscientious that
he cannot sleep if he goes in debt, but
there are some such men, though they
are few compared to the vast number
that run in debt and uover pay their
indebtedness. It so happens, at times,
that honest people got in debt who can
not liquidate the Indebtedness when
they should, or would like to, but there
ore others who never attempt to pay
their honest debts. They get trust
wherever they can, novor expecting to
pay the amount, at least their actions
would leave such an impression. We
received the following letter from one
of our subscribers soveral days ago:
"I enclose the amount due on mv
subscription. Please stop my paper. I
get very little rent for my house and
will not go in aeot for anything. Your
paper is good; all it cluims to be, and I
am sorry to stop it, but I could not sleep
if I would go in debt."

homo paper, inclose it in a wrapper
and send it to their friends who have

cost of subscribing for your friends and
having the paper sent direot to them
