At noon Itixt Thursday Governor Stono signed tho second-class city charter act tho ripper bill. There wns a hot contest In the legislature over this bill, and the end Is not yet. Somo scientists claim that the earth wabbles. From tho general appearance and movements of some of our citizens whom we see passing ourollleo occasion ally wo judge they have taken up tho same idea for the time being. There are very few people who real izo how responsible is the position of a train dispatcher, especially when some thing happens so all trains ate delayed and the dispatcher has to make a sched ule for the trains. It is certainly a hard strain on a man's net-res, becanso be kt.ows that one small mistake may cause loss of life or destruction of prop erty. It requires a level-headed man for such a position. The train dis patchers of tho Low Grade had to make schedules for trains two or three days Inst week. Senator Christopher Lyman Magoe, the journalist, politician, millionaire and live huslness man of Pittsburg, died at his temporary residence In Har rlsburg at 5.22 p. m. Friday last, March 8th. His death was the result of a malignant ulcer of stomach. It Is esti mated that Senator Magee was worth $0,000,000. no carried WOO.000 life In surance and was making arrange ments for 9400,000 more. Senator Magee was one of Pittsburg's fore most citizens. A. writ for a special election to All the vacancy caused by his death will be Issued by Lieutenant Governor Gobln after the funeral. A bill was recently passed by the leg islature whicb provides that every city and borough shall have tho power of eminent domain to enable It to acquire by purchase or condemnation the plant or works of any company heretofore or heroafter Incorporated for tho sup plying of water within the limits of such municipality, and may purchase or acquire tho works and plant of such company within such district and so much thereof located outside, In so far as It does not Interfere with the water supply of other municipalities, of such district as such city or borough may require at a price to be agreed upon, and In case of failure to agree upon such price, such city or borough shall pay therefor such damages as shall be awarded to such company by Ave view ers appointed by the Court of Common Pleas. Last week's issue of the. Falls Creek Herald contained almost a full column article about two regular organized gangs of thieves among the boys of that rcoently organized municipality. Some of the children are from the homes of respectable and prominent citizens. The boys robbed tho merchants in a systematic way and each gang had a hiding plaoe for their plunder. It was when the thieves began stealing from each other that a couple of the young villains confessed to the crime. It Is not necessary for Reynoldsvllle people to go to Falls Creek, or any other town, to find small boys who are regular thieves. We have them here aud unless the young chaps are looked after soon their thieving propensities will have reached a point that will be hard to master. Because they are boys and that they oome from respectable families, the young rascals are always leniently dealt with. People are loathe to tell pareuts that their boy steals, but for the boy's good the parents should know it and if they don't take their boy in hand, It might be wise to give him a small dose of law. It would oertalnly MUNI T have wholesome effect on some of. the other young thieves. Ralph H. LEFT A GOOD TESTIMONY. R. E. McKee Died Sunday Evening Consumption Caused Death. Ralph F.vorett McKee, a highly re spected citizen of Reyntililsvillo, jM'iiee- fully departed this life at 0.00 p. in. Sunday, March 10th. 1001. at the home of his father, David McKee, at Corsica, near Drookvlllu. Consumption was cause of his demise. For several years the dread disease had been sapping his vitality, but Ralph fought bravely against the inevitable and continued his daily toil until lust D.-ccniber, when he gave up his position In the J. A C. C. .St I. Co. scale olllco at Dig Soldier, and just before Christmas ho started for Arizona in hopes that the change of climate would restore his health and give him a longer leas.) of life, but the disease had fastened Itself too firmly to yield to the change of climate. Ralph was away over two months, and during that time he was at Kansus City, Kan., Deming, New Mexico, and Tucson, Arizona. He had an ttuck of grip and his doctors advised an I mined lute re turn home if he would see his loved ones before he died. IIo arrived in Corsica at noon on Tuesday of last week and his wife and daughters went to Corsica Wednesday and were at his bed side when he closed his eyes In death. R. E. McKee was born at Roseville, Jefferson county, September 1st, 18U". June 24th, 1891, he was married to Essie Calvin, of Drookvlllu. Unto them two daughters were born, who, with the wife, survive Ralph. Mr. McKee taught school in West neynoUlsville during the term of 1888 80. He embarked In tho grocery bus iness In this place with John H. War nick in 1802, continuing in thut business about one year. In Juno, 1804, hu ac cepted a position In tho scale olllco at Dig Soldier, where he remained until compelled to give up last December on account of poor health. Ralph united with the Pisgah Pres byterian church about twenty years ago, and was a consistent member. He was a worker In the Sunday school as long as his health permitted and was assist ant superintendent of .the Presby terian school in this place at time of death. He passed away with a testi mony on hlB lips that he was entering Into the joyful haven of rest. About a half hour before he died he roused up and said to those around his bed side: "Oh, It's beautiful." A few minutes later ho said: "I thought I saw mother," and just before his heart ceased beating ho nodded his head and whispered, "Yes, yes, I'm coming," and thus his earthly career ended. Funeral services wero held at the Plsgah Presbyterian church at Corsica at 2.00 p. ro. Tuesday, conducted by Rev. W. Frank Robor, pastor of Reyn oldsvllle Presbyterian church, assisted by Rov. F. P. Brltt, of Corsica, and the mortal remains of a good husband, lov ing father and kind nolghbor, were burled in the Plsgah cemetery. The funeral was a very large one. The Clionlan Club of Reynoldsvllle, of which Mrs. McKee Is a member, sent some beautiful cut flowers. Besides his wife and two daughters, Ruth and Helen, Mr. McKee is survived by bis fathor, threo brother and three sisters. Ralph was a memberof the Protective Home Circle, in which be carried $2,000 life insurance that will be paid to his widow insldo of 30 days. Come and see the new Monarch shirts at Mtlllrens.

Foremost among tho developments of the century Jt'st closed stands tho In ception, the growth, and the amazing accomplishment i.f The Salvation Army, which, beginning as a local effort in tho slums of Loudon's East End, has grown and thriven and prospered until to-day only the ends of the earth delimit It. So true Is this that with the recur rence each year of Tho Army's Self Denial Week, which Is once more ap proaching, the whole Christian world Is moved, recognizing in Tho Salvation Army the world's great natural almoner to the poor. Every year, without fail Tho Army which during every other week gives Its strength, Its sinew, Its blood as a matter of course sets aside ono week as a time of most secial, urgent and prayerful effort on behalf cf tho un reclaimed. This year tho dutes are from March 17th to March 24th, during which period, all over the United States, not only the active members of The Sal vation Army, but In so far as It is pos sible," their friends and sympathizers nnd cordial upholders will exert every effort so fur to deny themselves of every conceivable thing without which life can be maintained, that thereby they may gain and set aside funds for the prosecution of tho work among the abandoned and lost. A rich Salvationist is truly an ano maly; a poor one is a commonplace, yet during this Week of Self Denial and Player none Is found so poor but by some effort of renunciation he or she offers a sacrifice to the cause. Always The Salvation Army must ap peal to tho public for assistance, but at no lime does It appeal quite as It docs during Its Self-Ueniul Week. In gener al It appeuls to the public iih a body, warmhearted and generous, but at this particular juncture it appeals especially to tho followers of Christ, asking them for His sake, that as a recognition of His abounding grace and love towards them as followers i f His Word, they take up thu cross of self-denial, of self sacrifice and willing renunciation for tho sake of the poor, the abandoned and hopeless, who without help are lost, indeed. Night Was Her Terror. "I would cough nearly all nightlong," writes Mrs. Chas. Applogate, of Alex andria, Ind., "and could hardly gut any sleep.

Dear Sir: Lead and oil Is no longer the paint to bo prosperous with. As everybody knows, lead and oil chalks or powders off In ahotit throo years three years Is Its limit. Painters aro putting n llttlo zinc In their lead to make It tough it lasts a good threo years with a little zinc. Hut painters don't like thn Job of mix ing zinc. It's a tedious job, and, both being white, nobody knows when the mixing is thorough. It gets half mixed; and tho paint goes on, a stri-nk 'f lend and a streak of zinc. That is not good work. The mistake nindo Is In trying to do by hand what Is better done by ma chinery. It .nd-work can't cnniwto with machine work. Duvoe lead and zinc Is your pttlnt. It wears twleo as long as lend and Oil. This reduces thn cost, of keeping a housu well puinlrd to liaif. Yours truly. 2."i F. W. Devok A Co. P. S. II. Alex Stoke sells our paint in your section.
