A young man nineteen years old was burled at New Bethlehem this week whose death was caused from smoking cigarettes. We mention this as an other warning to the boys and young men of our town who smoke cigarettes. If the cigarette does not cause insanity or an untimely death, It does stunt the mental and physical powers and the victim never reaches the high position in life that he might have attained if he hnd not become an inveterate cigar ette smoker. Individual Communion Cups. The Individual cups were used at the communion service in the Presbyterian church at this place Sunday. The cups were borrowed from the Beech woods Presbyterian church'. It is the Inten tion of the Reynoldsvllle Presbyterian congregation to buy a set of communion cups and they have been trying several kinds to see whnt they would like best. Every church should use the Indivld- unl cups, and wo beltovo the tlmo is not. far distant when they will bo used by all the churches. This Is not an Indica tion that the churches that use tho In dividual cups aro getting high toned, but It does mean that the people are awaking to the fact that the old way Is a means for spreading diseases. Assembly Hall. One of the important things for the school board to consider tn the re-build ing of our public school edifice Is Assem bly hall. There should bo no dolay in furnishing and fixing up the hall as soon as the building is completed. Expert ence has taught that Assembly hall should be made larger than it was be fore and that there should bo raised seats put In the hall. This could be done at small expense and it would be a great improvement over the old Assom bly hall. There Is no doubt, however, but that the school board will give this part of the school building as much and as prompt attention as any other part of the building, but if it has not already been considered it should be considered before the architect draws plans for the building. Met a Horrible Death. Charles Smith, of Smlcksburg, Indl ana county, Pa., met with a horrible death on Wesson & Irving' portable saw mill on the Coleman tract near Summerville last Wednesday. The mill is run with a centre stroke engine and Smith accidentally fell Into engine and was oaught feet first and before the engine could be stopped his body was torn and ground to pieces up to the breast, but his head and shoulders were not even scratched. The engine drew his body Id like a meat chopper. The body was gathered up Id pieces and placed in box. Smith was about 30 years old. He leaves a wife and one child. John R. Keys, of Emerlckvllle, sawyer and flier on the mill, was a witness to the awful fate that befell Smith, and It was from Mr. Key we got the particulars of the case. Need a Dog Ordinance. Slnoe the mad dog Bcare in town there hag been considerable talk about dogs being allowed to run at large in this borough, and some people are of the opinion that the burgess should order all the dogs to be muzzled or shut up. There is no ordinanoe on the municipal statute book prohibiting dogs from run' ning at large. The general "borough law of April 3, 1851, confer power upon the corporate authorities to prohibit and regulate the running at large of an' lmals, including dogs, and to authorize and direct the kllllr of dogs running at large, conferlp , legislative or dis cretionary power; and neither the oor porate officers or the borough are liable for failure to exercise this power, nor for falling to enact borough ordinanoe prohibiting dog from running at large. There should be a dog ordinanoe passed Special Election Sustained. Fnlls Creok was Incorporated into a borough on the 18th day of August, 1900, and on the 15th of the following month, September, was tho timo set by the court for holding a special election, at which time the officers of the now municipality wero elected. At the February election this year an entiru new board of councilmen wore elected. It was claimed that tho court had no power or authority for fixing the special election held In September, and that the election so held was Illegal and void. The councilmen elected at special election would not vacate their seats in the council chambers, claiming that the election was legal. This meant trouble unless it was settled and finally the case was taken before Judge Reed last week. Tho judge decided that tho special election was valid and legal, and that tho persons voted for and elected at that time were regular ly and legally elected. Gave School Board $too Check. One of tho complaints of tho employes of Enterprise Silk Company during the recent trouble was tho fine imposed on them for spoiling work. The company claimed that this was only done as a disciplinary method to make the em ployes be more careful In doing their work, and that the company did not fine them as a money making schome, for the amount spoiled was far In ex cess of the fines Imposed, and to show to the public that they were in good faith In the statement that the fine was only for discipline, the Enterprise Silk Company offered to pay the amount re ceived from fines to the public school fund or any charitable institution. Last week the company gave tho Reynolds vllle school bourd a chock for $100.00. Degree Team Visited DuBois. Twenty-four members of Mountain Cliff Castle. K. G. E., of this place, In cluding tho degree team, drove to Du Bois Thursday evening and attended the regular session of Mountain Queen lodge. The Reynoldsvllle degree team conferred the second degreo on a num ber of candidates. One of the DuBois papers says: "After the session a ban quet was given by the home lodge, In honor of the visitors, whore fraternal fellowship ran high for more than an hour before adieus were exchanged. It Is likely the visit of the Reynolds vllle Eagles will be returned by an equal number from Mountain Queen Castle some night when the driving Is good." Attracted a Large Crowd. ".Too the Turk" wus the attraction at Salvation Array hall last Thursday and Friday nights, and he was a good draw ing card; the hall was not large enough to accommodate all the people who wanted to hear Joe Thursday evening. Arrayed In the oriental splondor of his country Joe marched at the head of the Salvation Army parade blowing a cornet, which he handled with skill. He Is a large, fine-looking specimen of his race and he certainly mado quite a gorgeous appearance on the street and In the hall.

Foust and George Melllngur, members of the school bonrd, Were In Mttslmig this week looking at several heating systems. The Sinead system, which was used In tho nthor building, will not be put In the new building. Tho directors have not decided yet whether they will let tho building by contractor hlro n responsible man to oversco the work and build It hy duy labor. If a contract Is notxglven home laborer will get till the work to do. It will nut be known until the work men get at It just how much of the wnlls of tho school house will have to bo torn down. The architect seems to think the wnlls will bo sufu up to the second story. They will bo carefully examined by an expert. Tho new heating and ventilating sys tem will not require the four large stacks, and the removal of one or two of these will give more room In tho building, if the old plnn Is used, which will likely be the case. Footwalk Needs Repairing. There is considerable complaint about tho bad condition of the footwalk be tween Jnekson street and silk mill and wo have been requested to mention this faet In The Star. It is true that tho walk is In a dnngerous condition, but to whom tho duty belongs to keep this walk repaired is a question. The money was raised hy sulwerlpt ion to build the walk In the first place for the accommo dation of the silk mill workers. The portion of the walk in the borough lim its might be looked after by town coun cil, but tho largest part of tho walk complained of is in Wlnslow township and there Is no provision lit tho town ship for sidewalks. The glass plant employes who work at night aro the ones who run the greatest risk of being Injured on this walk. A snbsrlpllon among those most benefited would be a very good way to get the sidewalk re paired. Cross Dog Loose. There Is a largo white dog, with red spots on Its breast thnt look like blood spots, running the streets of this town that Is very cross and It should either be muzzled or killed. Saturday this dog attacked a man on Main street and tore his coat, but did not succeed in biting him. Sunday morning, when Dr. A. H. Bowser and wife were going to P. R. R. station to catch an early train, the dog stopped Mrs. Bowser who was some distance ahead of her husband near Hotel Belnap. The dog begun growl ing before Mrs. Bowser got within ."10 feet of it. which frightened Mrs. Bow ser and alio slopped.
