Reynoldsville has no more right to
depend wholly for sttcees on its natural
advantages than a man hns a right to
depend on his mothor-in-latv to got to
heaven. It Is tho harmony of tho wholo
peoplo, on a progressive plan, that lifts
a town out of the ruts and puts it on
the road to success. A strong pull and
long pull altogether I what counts.
Every male inhabitant 21 yearn of
ago and upward in liable to a tax not lens
than 1 nor more than $2 for school
purpose. This is granted by an act of
Assembly which was signed ty Gover
nor Hastings recently. Heing thus
broadly put, foreigners seem to come
within tho limit, and a considerable
sum may bo realized from a class
that though non-voting, is under tho
protection of law and whose children
receive the benofit of our froo public
schools.
This week we publish tho bill passed
by the last legislature, and signed by
Gov. Hastings June 22, 1SHT, for the re
moval of aliens from our public insti
tutions. The investigating committee,
that wus appointed by tho Legislature
of 189."),' ascertained that this State was
paying annually $1,500,000 for tho pau
pers and indigent insane from foreign
lands who have never bocomo citizens of
this Commonwealth. Tho result of tho
investigation startled tho State, and
the bill, which we print, passed both
branches of the Legislature without a
dissenting vote.
Every town has its different class of
citizens. Some pull on every string
that will benefit themselves and their
neighbors, and sometimes if they do
not see much for themselves but do see
that their noighbors will be benefited,
pull just as hard. Others never pull
unless they can see the direct benefit to
themsolves, and sometimes let go if
they think their neighbors will
be benefitted. They are too selfish to
be of any benefit outside of simply
adding one to the population and con
suming the amount of food necessary
for their existence.
It has been the custom here for fif
teen or sixteen years for the miners to
elect a checkweighman and have the
company collect his pay through tho
office, thus saving the chockweighmen
and the minora considerable trouble.
The chockweighmen are paid by tho
miners for the express purpose of seeing
that they get just weight for all tho
coal they dig. Recently tho cars were
run over some of the scales at this placo
so rapidly that it was imposslbe to get
the correct weight of the car and its
contents. The chockweighmen report
ed the matter to the superintendent and
it was adjusted for awhile. Soon after
this the company refused to collect tho
pay for checkweighmen. Tho men
claim this is done with a view of doing
away with checkweighmen entirely at
the mines in this plaoe.
Reynoldsville or any othor town is
what the citizens make it. We have an
abundance of fuel, excellent water sup
ply, good railroad facilities, in fact all
the natural advantages necessary for
establishing manufactories here and
building up a large, thriving town, but
It all depends on the life of the citizens
of Reynoldsville whether the town will
progress or retrograde. We have
arrived at that point when It is neoes
aary that we put forth an effort to got
works of tome kind to locate in our
midst. It can be done if we get in earn
est and work together. If large plants
cannot be induced to locate here a num
ber of entailer ones can, and every little
helps. Now if an effort Is made to get
capitalists to oome here to start factor
ies, &c don't discourage the move by
saying It is an Impossibility to raise the
little bonus required and donate the
mall amount of iand wanted. If a farm
er don't sow grain he will not reap a
harvest, and if thd citizens of Reynolds
ville are not willing to spend money to
get works here to give employment to
the people already here and attract
others to the town, the financial crops
will not be very abundant In the future.
Eeyuoldsville has been a good town in
the past and there In no reason why it
bould not be the best town In this sec
tion of the state if the citizens put
forth special effort to make It that.

The Man who Knows it all.
Everyone is familiar with the man
who knows it all the individual who
goes ahead, hit or miss, regardless and
even resentful of any counsel, however
wise It may bo. The end of that man is
always trouble and vexation of spirit
for himself, his friends and associates.
It is incomphrehonslble that there are
such people, and many of them, and
yet such is the undoubted case. Away
back in the days of Plato he abounded,
for that great philosopher doubtless
nad an admonition for them in view
when he wrote: "Tho learning and
knowledge we have are, at the most,
but little compared with that of which
we are Ignorant." The thought of the
vast amount of knowledge beyond the
ken of tho wisest of men ought to make
all mon humble and careful In asserting
themselves, but it is often the case that
the man who knows the least is the
most aggressive In practically main
taining that he must certainly know
everything. When a man has really
well grounded reasons for his opinions
it Is well for him to be positive in as
serting them, but even the most care
ful of men will make a mistake if they
entirely eliminate from their thoughts
the idea that they may possibly not be
possessed of all the facts, and refuse to
give a hearing to those who may offer
to throw a new light upon a subject in
which they are interested. Pittsburg

Stands at the Head.
Aug. J. Bocrel. the loading
of Shreveport, La., says: "Dr. King's
New Discovery is the onlv thlno that
cures my cough, and it is the best seller
i nave." j. r. Campbell, merchant of
Safford, Ariz., writes: "Dr. King's
New Discovery is all that Is claimed for
it; It nover falls, and is a sure eur for
consumption, coughs and oolds. I can-
uoi uy enougn lor It merits." Dr.
King's New Discovery for consumption,
ooughs and oolds is not an experiment.
It has been tried for a quarter of
a century, and to-day it stands at the
head. It never disappoints. Free

The YollowBtono National Park is un
questionably the most interesting re

played the greatest collection of na
ture's manifold wonders. Indeed, this
mountain-bound plateau, high up on
tho summit of tho everlasting Rockies,
Is n veritable playground for the world's
giant force. To stand and gaze upon
them In nil their marvelous manifesta
tions, the great geyser upheavals, tho
fierce steam blasts, the terrible leap of
the river, and the nwful canon, Is a
revelation, an experience to be had at
no other point on earth.
Tho personally-conducted tour of tho
Pennsylvania Railroad Company which

tho most satisfactory means of visiting
this wonderland and viewing Its marvel
ous features. Tourists will travel by

Electric Bitters.
Electric Bitters is a medicine suited
for any season, but perhaps more gen
erally needed when tho languid, ex
hausted feeling prevails, when tho
liver is torpid and sluggish and tho
noedofa tonic and alterative is felt.
A prompt use of this medicine has often
averted long and perhaps fatal bilious
lovers. No medicine will act more
surely in counteracting and freeing the
system from tho malarial poison.
Headache, Indigestion, Constipation,
Dizzyness yeild to Electric Bitters.
