The price is $25.00 per year for each lamp, and the company to keep up all repairs and pay for gas. There will also be an effort made at the same meoting of tho council to persuade that body to illumi nate the town with eleotrio lights. There is no denying the fact that the town is badly in need of street lights, but what those lights are to be, will re quire careful consideration by the. town council. 1 Game Law Violated. If reports bo true the gamo low Is be ing violated In this section, especially In regard to setting traps for rabbits. Section 1) of the game law reads thusly "No person shall at any time take or kill in this Commonwealth any of the gamo birds or game mammals In uny other manner than by shooting them with a gun, and no person shall at any timo set, lay or prepare any trap, snaro, net. blrdllne, swivel gun, deerllck, plt- fall, turkey blind or pen, or other con trlvance or device whatever with Intent to catch, take or kill any of the game birds or mammals. Whoever shall offend ngainst any of the pro visions of this section shall be liable to a penalty of fifty dollars for eactti and every offense so committed or by Im prlsonment In the county Jail for a per iod or ono day for each dollar of penalty imposed. Half tho pennlty, twenty-five dollars. for each nffenso goes to the person who makes tho Information. Here Is an op portunity for the people who know of persons violating tho game law to make some money. Tho man at Fuller's sta tion, who claimed to have caught twen ty-flve rabbits In traps one night recent ly, would be worth looking after. At $."0.00 for eneh offense, twenty-five rab bits would mean 11,250.00, half of which goes to the Informant, making $025.00 for tho person looking afterthls violator of tho luw. There are others nearer home who have been setting traps. Dog Poisoner Abroad. Hie dog poisoner is abroad again. A number of canines of this place have been dispatched to dogland this year by the poison route. Last Thursday F. M. Brown's pug dog died from poison. this was pugs second dose, the first time an antidote was administered in time to save the dog's life. Mr. Brown has another dog, Snip, that has been poisoned once the past summer. The dogs got the poison in Mr. Brown's yard, where the fiend had thrown it. Mr. Motter, who has charge of Mr. Elliott's greenhouse, found three or four pieces of meat In Mr. Brown's yard at different times this summer with poison on the meat. It would not be well for the dog poisoner if he were discovered. It is a penitentiary act, and a person contemptible enough to throw out poison, ought to be confined in the pen itentiary a few years. One piece of moat found In Mr. Brown's yard was a nice piece of ham with rough-on-rata on it. A little child might Just as easily pick up such a piece of meat as a dog would. Missionary Barrels. The Intermediate and Junior Chris tian Endeavor Societies of the Pres byterian church, assisted by Miss Belle Arnold, shipped two barrels of clothing to Jetersvllle, Va., last week for a dozen or more parentless colored children that a kind hearted, christian widow la looking after. The barrels were valued at about $110.00. The chil dren for whom the barrels were pre pared are all girls but one, and Miss Arnold got the 'names and size of each girl and the clothing was made to fit and the names were written and pinned on to the articles so thore would be no trouble about distributing the contents of the barrels when thov arrived at Jetersvlllo. Two dresses, two night dresses and a doll apiece for each girl were among the articles sent. The boy was not forgotten. There would be great Joy among the little orphans when those barrels were opened.

Our new silk mill, outside of the staff of loom fixers, teachers nnd twister which number about 18, Just now af fords work for about 125 people, divided as follows: 18 winders, 8 qulllers, I doubler, 1 redrawer, 24 warpers, 1 boamer, 2 pickers and 85 weavers, some of them running already two loooms. The new weavers have become quite familiarized with th ir looms and are no longer afraid of them, as Is gon erally the caso with all new hands Some who could hardly turn out two or three yards at thi) beginning do not think much now of weaving eleven twelve yards, and well voven at that, Running a loom Is more familiar them than running a sewing machine. Many of the best weavers will be In trusted with a second loom. New orders have been received at th mill providing work for the two hun area looms for at least six months to come. They are still mostly in black of various weave, but quite a large part of it Is In blight colors for evening shades and spring. The most conspicuous among those colors are white, cream pink, sky, canary. Among the other quite striking collection is composed of several shades of bine, a crimson red, cardinal, two kinds of gray, ono silvery the other looking like Iron, two browns, two green, an heliotrope, one turauoise and a bright green, rcnvindinir ono of the brilliant feathers of the parrot. In fact, all Is hustling in the huge building on the other side of tho creek. Silk keeps pouring in from, several eastern dye houses and the season hero will be one of hustling. The clicking of tho looms, which can be distinctly heard at the railroad tracks now that the cold weather keeps th windows closed tight, will certainly be heard on Main street when the mild weather of Bpting will compel the weavers to keep the windows open. Every day new applicants come to the mill and weavers from all parts of Pennsylvania are writing for admission, A few of the weavers are experienced hands, coming from various weaving centres of Pennsylvania, and this creates quite an emulation among the green hands of Reynoldsvllle. There Is kind of a contest between them In whlcb tho foreign element does not always come out the winners. Now the new Industry Is started In earnest in our region. It has been created by the energy of devoted citi zens. It has got to stay among us. It may grow to twice Its capacity and then, besides tbe increasing number of weavers, warpers and winders it may give work to 150 men employed as throwsters, dyers and finishers. Nobody can tell the extent of good this now mill can develop in our town. The humming of these wheels will hence forth be heard for generations to come Welcome and long life to the silk mill. Thomas Malvlna, a Philadelphia loom fixer arrived at the mill Monday after noon. Charley Pfoifor, the sympathetic twister of the silk mill, has beon heard in a private musical meeting. He is a a light baritone of taste. His voice, al though not over strong, Is managed with talent and he slngB with a partic ular feeling whioh will make of him a great favorite among the element who crave for piano playing and romance singing. Black John, an Ex-Loom Fixer, "Pirates" Defeated. Eleven young men, tried Of lung and true of limb, mud-spattered, strong- hearted and firm in a righteous belief of their own impregnability, wandered down from the slippery slopes where singing silk mills smile to the sinking sun on Tuesday afternoon. They came to wipe the soddon soil of Brookville' gridiron field with her Tiger warriors to demonstrate the eternal superiority of Reynoldsvlllo's muscular develop ment but like many another confident Alexander who swelled to sighing size, they fell beneath the flood. For the Tiger cubs who twice had rocked against the up-the-river boys and had gone down bad retired from active participa tion In Marquis of Quoensbury affairs, and some of tbe old war-horses had dug their canvas-Jackets Irom the cast-away closet and were loooking for trouble. They ripped that Reynoldsvllle line like a $ti-a-week clerk rips 4 cent calico, they got their Brookville Dutch up and piled those silk mill follows seven deep and Bat upon them, they skirted the ends with the speed of a man going for paregorio to ease the wailing of bis first born, and when they tackled they did it in a manner that Induced the boys from up the road to immediately sit down and think about it. They scored early, ran true and strong to the finish and won in comparatively easy style, although the game at no time degener ated into that mildly passive form of ar gument which is termed a walkover, for the Reynoldsvllle hopefuls were "Pirates" in more ways than one and stole tbe ball with a reckless abandon that would have startled Captain Kidd. Whon they got tbe pig-skin they held to it like fly-paper to a tabby cat, while our fellows handled it with rather greasy grip. Brookville Jiepublican, The score was 6-0 "Ain't they nloe. and only $1,751" That's what the ladies say about our bargain shoos. Robinson's. You have a right to the best and It la here af L. P.
