Gambling and whiskey were the cause of the murder. The murdered man leaves a wife and two children in Italy. It is not likely that Moro will be apprehended as the Clearfield county officials never go to much troublo or expense to have mur- dorers run down. Dangers Practice. It will be our sad duty some of these days to chronicle a horrible railroad accident if the boys insist on keeping up the practice of jumping on moving trains. This practice is Indulged in more at this place on the R. St F. C. R'y than It Is on the A. V. R'y. A boy liv ing1 near the R. St F. C. R'y Main street crossing, who is more daring than other boys that participate In this dangerous practice, will jump on a fast moving train for tho last time some of these days. Besides being a dangerous prac tice, a boy Is liable to be arrested, as the law forbids such practice. Change of Proprietors. John C.

Mr. Dlllman, who has been In the hotel business in this place for many years, is compelled to retire from Hotel Belnap on account of falling health. Mr. Dlllman, who 1b an accommodating gentleman, has many warm friends In this section who hope that he will soou regain his health, Two of the Many. In our mail yesterday morning we re ceived two magnanimous offers, such as are usually made by patent medicine companies and monthly magazines. The medicine company actually offered to pay the Immense sum of $1.00 for an inch and a half advertisement for one year, or for seventy-five inch space The monthly muguzine, prloe $1.00 per year, offered to send us the magazine one year as payment for a three inch advertlsemontstx months or one year, Great guns ! think of it ! If we had an internal maohine we would like to turn it loose on some of the people who make us propositions like the above. These are only two of the many that we re ceive. (Of course we accept them not, High Cluss Entertainment. The McDowell Recital Company, tin- dor the auspices of the Village Improve ment Association, will give an enter tainment In Assembly hall on Tuesday evening of next week, December 13th. From the press notices the members of this company have reoelved, we do. not hesitate to say that the people of Reyn oldsvllle will have the opportunity next Tuesday evening to hear something ex ceptionally fine. Below we give ono press notice for each member of com pany. Robert J. McDowell has a magnifi cent voice, and was obliged to sing to a hearty encore.

Tho water fountuin at the cornor of Main and Fifth streets Is now quenching the thirst of those who want a drink of sparkling spring water. The water was turned Into the fountain last Thursday. It will not be appreciated as much dur ing the winter weather as It will be In the summer. It was expected that the fountain and the expense of getting the spring walled and water piped to foun tain would amount to about $350.00, but there were difficulties in the way that were not counted on and, henco, the entire expense will run over $400.00. There ts considerable that was sub scribed which has not been paid yet, and still there is a shortage of almost $100.00. It Is hoped that those who have not given anything yet will con tribute to pay for the fountain, which will not only be a great blessing to the public, but will also be a credit to Reyn oldsvllle. There Is a large street lamp on top of the fountain. Police Call Bell. On account of drunken and disorderly individuals occasionally making them selves obnoxious in and around the A. V. R'y ticket office at this place, Gov ernor Hastings, at the request of the R'y Co., gave Joseph McKernan, A. V. R'y baggage master, special police au thority over a year ago, and Joseph has Bince been looking after the obstreper ous chaps. It generally happens when there Is somebody around who needs the police's attention it is when Mr. Farrell Is busy selling tickets and can not well leave his office to call the police, therefore, the company has had an electrlo bell put in from tho ticket office to the baggage room and the ticket agent can touch the button and call the policeman without leaving the ticket office. His Scheme Worked. Recently a Reynoldsvllle man en tered his home and found his wife gottlng ready to go some place. To tho Interrogation, "Where are you going?" she answered, "To the Aid Society." "Have you fixed ray cloth ing?" was the next question the hus band asked. The answer was, "No, I have not had time." The husband went up stairs and soon returned with the clothing over his arm that he hnd been trying to got his wife to fix. Now it was the wife's turn to ask questions and she said, "Where are you going with those old clothes?" The answer was, "To the Aid Society to have them fixed." It is hardly necessary to add that the man got his clothing fixed promptly without taking them to the Aid Society. Former Citizen Dead. W. W. Crlssman died at his home In DuBois Wednesday afternoon from heart trouble. He was fifty-four taars old. He moved from Reynoldsvllle to Llndsey a number of years ago and last spring moved from Llndsey to DuBols. He was candidate for county treasurer in 1890. Mr. Crlssman was a. Grand Army man, a member of the Knights of Pythias and Ancient Order United Workmen. He carried $2,000 insurance in the latter order. He had been a faithful member of the Methodist Epis copal church for years. He was a quiet and unassuming gentleman who bad a host of friends. The largest selection of watches la seen at C. F.

Tho early winter we have this year Is a certain sign of prosperity for all silk manufacturers of the country, tor an early winter causes a great deal of business in winter goods, whereas a late winter hardly empties the shelves of the dry goods retailer. Everybody by putting off buying winter goods helps to make business poor, nnd somo winters heavy frosts come so late that It is not worth the trouble for the lady to buy her silk lined cloak. So, brother weav ers, an early winter, es an early spring, are sure signs of prosperity for us. Af ter having run full time this fall the looms will be heard humming this com ing spring, and the merry click cluck of the shuttle will animate the wilderness around the silk temple erected recently In our town. Few people know that It requires the work of over 500 silk worms to supply tho material for tho poorest class of silk. The pean lie mir. or silk skin now woven at tho mill Is a heavy contexture of cloth with a soft gloss, well adapted for the manufacturing of capes. A black cape with a lining of light color, like lilac, is highly stylish. The annure rwd(e Is another weave whose surface appears covered up with tiny dots of sparkling effect, and of a very elegant aspect when worn either as a waist or skirt. But the triumph of the manufacturing this year will be the long lift of numberless shades, brighter tlnin for years. Some girls will be pretty well satis- fled with their pay this coming pay day. True, they have worked hard, but now the reward is at hand. Teachers' Institute. While In town Saturday County Su perintendent Teltrlck handed ye editor a copy of the catalogue and program of the forty-third annual session of Jeffer son county teachers' Institute to be held In the court house atBrookvllle Decem ber 20th to 30th, and by a perusal of the program wo find that Prof. Teltrlck has secured a fine array of talent for the day Instructions and evening enter tainments.
