On Monday while F. M. Brown was
traveling from Brownvlllo to Ithlca,

of the flues on the big engine that was

out and the fireman was horribly
scalded. Mr. Brown assisted his broth

who was also on the train, to do the

what they had to do with. Mr. Brown

mary than has been manifested in this

it is right. Each party should be very
much -interested in selecting their can
didates, and the people in general
should exercise as much care in select
ing the best men from tho various

tificates for township and borough
offices to be filed In tho commissioners'
offleo eighteen days before tho day of

.Feminine Pugilists.
Several days ago two women, who
live in the suburbs of town, hud some
disputation which stirred up their Ire
and they went out Into a ten acre field
and pounded one another in pugilistic
style. Some men viewed tho encounter
from afar, but did not venture near
enough to put a stop to tho fight. Tho
disgraceful scene would have been
worth considerable "filthy lucre" to tho
owner of a projectoscpe.
Will Drill Out Bailer.
It was mentioned In The Star last

wo io lost in the oil well bulng drilled

the drill will be started to-morrow.
Losing tho rope and bailer has delayed
the drill almost two weoks. The peo
ple aro anxious to have the drill started
with the hoped that oil will bo found in
paying quantity.
Western Pleasure Trip.
Glonn A. Milllren, ono of our enter
prising and most successful clothiers,
who has been sticking to business
very closely for a few years,
wisely decided to take a much needed
rest, and on Monday of this week he
started on an extended pleasure trip
along the Pacific coast. He will first
visit his sister, Mrs. A! loo Coryell, at
Portland, Oregon, then ho will go up
into Washington State and visit at
Seattle, Tacuma and other places, then
down the coast to California and take
in tho sights at San Francisco and other
cities. Mr. Milllren expects to bo ab
sent until tho 1st of April unless called
home by press of business.
Oone to Washington State.
On Monday morning A. L. Peters,
who was blacksmith for A. C. Hopkins
at his large mill near this place for six
years, accompanlod by his wife and
children and Mrs. John D. Brown,
storied en route for Puyallup, Washing
ton, with the Intention of taking up his
abodo In that state permanently. One
inducement that has taken Mr. Poters
to the Pacific slope Is the hope that he
may have hotter health than he has
been enjoying in this climate the past
year or two. Mr. Peters Is a first-class
workman and can always be depended
upon. Ho has bad an extraordinary
offer to go to the Klondike to work at
his trade, but ho is afraid hla health is
not sufficient to stand tho Klondike
region. Mrs. Brown went to Washing
ton state to join her husband, who went
to that section about ten weeks ago.
Were Ready for War.
The report came to Roynoldsvllle
Saturday forenoon, from what was sup
posed to be good authority, that Consul
General Lee had been assassinated
Friday night by the Spaniards In Cuba.
Bulletins of the assassination were put
up at several places in Roynoldsvllle and
the news spread rapidly. Not since the
sixties has there been such a true at
mosphere of war in the town as that
report stirred up. Many of our loyal
oitizens were ready, If needs be, to go
to war. It proved to be a false report,
which seems to have been born at Du
Bols. Monday morning the Courier
said: "A report that Coneul-General
Lee had been assassinated traveled over
the country on the telegraph wires Sat
urday." The Western Union telegraph
offices at Washington and Pittsburg
had not heard the report until tele
grams flashed across the wires from
this section asking if the report was
true. The Pittsburg and Philadelphia
papers, so (ar as we can learn, did not
mention on Monday that such a report
had created an exoitmont in those
cities, therefore, we are led to believe
that the report was born In some Imag
inative mind In DuBols. '
Buy Horns Produce.
Ever since tho establishment of The
STAR we have tried to impress upon
tho citizens and business men that ono
of the essential things for the pros
perity of the town and community Is to
patronize ono another. If the people
send out of town to buy their goods it is
an Injury to tho town to the amount
of money that is sent away. If a busi
ness man sends awny for some article
he does not handle himself, but his
neighbor does, ho Is Injuring the town
that much, and Is setting an example
that he cannot complain of If others
do likewise. What is true of the town
Is true of the community. We have a
number of thrifty farmers in this com
munity and If tho business men have
potatoes, butter, eggs, hay, Ac, ship
ped Into town and thus stock the mar
ket so that the farmer cannot sell his
produce, can they expect tho farmer to
come to Reynoldsvlllo to buy such
things as he Is compelled to buy? The
farmer must have a market and If ho
cannot find It near homo ho will go
where ho can find It, and that Is where
he will spend his money. Our own pro
ductions should bo used first and If that
Is not sufficient to supply the demand,
then It Is tlmo enough to have produce
shipped In from other sections. The
farmers complain bitterly about this,
and who can blame them? When the
people of Reynoldsvlllo spend their
money at home, as they should, then
will a wave of prosperity, such as we
have not dreamed of, sweep over our
community, reaching the farmer and
business man ullko. Try It.
Doing a Oood Work.
On tho evening of the flth Inst. Mr.
Schlverea, tho noted evangelist, began
a meeting In Centennial hall and ho has
conducted a servlco there every night
slnco, and will continue to do so every
night this week. By tho ussistunco of
a large number of christian people ho
is doing a good work In Reynoldsvlllo,
Mr. Schlvereft Is an excellent talker
and he shows the hldeousness of sin so
plainly that men who have been walking
therein for years are astonished and
are forsaking their sinful ways. Mr.
Schlverea has given two plain talks to
tho men of Reynoldsvlllo the two Sun
days he has been In town, and will de
liver another ono In Centennial hall
next Sunday afternoon.
Mr. Schlverea, assisted by Revs.
Dean and Roller, held 'a religious meet
ing at the tannery at the noon hour on
Monday.
Mr. Schlverea wants Friday to bo a
"pentecostul day" and there will be ser
vices all day, beginning with a song and
prayer service In the Baptist church at

2.00 p. M. there will bo a song and pray
er sorvlco In tho Presbyterian church,
followed with a sermon, and in the eve
ning there will be a meeting in Centen
nial hall.
Fell Off a Bridge.
About seven o'clock last Friday even
ing Harry King, a lad about flvo years
old, son of Wilson King, of Summorvlllo,
foil off the county bridge at Summer
villo and was drowned. Harry and a
brother, a year or two older, were on
their way from their grandfather's, S.
D. Carrier, and Harry was ahoad. His
brother heard a splash In the water and
found a little bucket at the end of the
bridge that Harry had boon carrying.
The boy picked up tho bucket and ran
homo to see If his brother was there,
and not finding him he told his mother
he was afraid Harry had fallen into the
creek. The alarm was given and will
ing hands were soon ready with lan
terns and boats, but the water was high
and swift and the rescuers failed to find
the body. Saturday morning large
crowds were hunting for the body.
The boy's cap was found a mile below
Summorvlllo. Tho body has not been
found yet.
We have been informed that this is
the second boy that has fallen off the
same bridge.
The lad drowned was a grandson of
Miles King, of this place. Mr. and
Mrs. King went to Summervllle Satur
