The reason seems to be that only by struggle, by persistence in effort Is adequate development reached. The unrest of the world Is not because of sin but Its unhapptness Is. Unrest Is the normal condition of life and ad vancement, but life and advancement Is always pleasurable Unless the laws gov erning them have been or are violated.

Grand Templar Mrs. Alice Mayer, of Harrlsburg, paid .Pleasant Valley Temple an official visit and exempli fied the unwritten work of the Degree. The members of Temple presented Mrs. Mayers with a beautiful gold mounted Ink well, which was a small token of their high esteem for Mrs. Mayors. Tho presont was greatly appreciated. Nine ladies from McKtnley Temple of Elcanora drove to Reynoldsvllle and at tended Pleasant Valley Temple. After tho "goat" was locked up and lodge ad- lourncd tho ladles all went to Boll's hall where tho members of tbe Knights of Golden Eagle had prepared an oyster supper and entertainment for them. It was a real pleasant and enjoyuble oc casion, ono that the participants will not soon forgot. Everybody went home feeling happy. Impressive Ceremonies. It is the custom of the B. P. O. E. to hold a memorial service once a year and pay a tribute of respect to the memory of the brothers who died during the year. This beautiful and Impressive sorvlce was held In the Elk lodge rooms In Roynuldsvlllo at 3.00 p. m. Sunday and was participated In by a large numbor of members.

Wo have been liformod by those present thut this wn an affecting and vory Im pressive sorvlce. Tho noxt time the Elks hold such a service they will make It public. Trolley Line News. Tuesday morning of this week there were two miles of trolley line track to bo laid bo t ween Reynoldsvllle and Wishaw. Two crews of men are at work, one on each end of line, laying track as fast as possible. The company Is having trouble getting ties and this may delay the completion of the trolley line a few days. The line has been graded down Jackson street as far as the corner of Sixth street and the rails have been laid down as far as resldonoe of L. J. McEntlre. Tho line will llkoly be completed In time to run cars between this place and Punxsulawney before Christmas. L. J. McEntlre Is to bo ticket agent for the trolley company at Reynolds vllle, In the B. & L. Association build ing near the public fountain. Brutal Assault. Saturday night four or five follows of this neighborhood mado a brutal assault on a man named Hays from Eloanora. We understand that warrants have been issued for tho follows who assault ed Hays. From Information that we recolved concerning the affair - the assault was mado without any excuse for It at all. It Is time tbat some of tbe "bullies" In this Immediate vicinity were dealt with severely for assaulting people. They are entirely too. willing to assault and thump others. Some of them act as If they would rather fight than eat, especially when they got two or three drlnksof whiskey In them. Bargains In Horse Flesh.

Advertising Schemes. Elsewhere In this Issue of The Star will be found a communication from a business man of Reynoldsvllle who sug gests that a business men's leaguo be formed at onco for various reasons, one of which la to enter Into an agreement not to patronize hotel registers, chart advertisers and other catch-penny ad vertising schemes. Business men In other towns, who have given the mat ter consideration, have discovered that thoy get very little benefit, if any, from such advertising methods and, as our correspondent states, they have quit patronizing these traveling ad vertising schemes and have adopted the newspapers almost exclusively for advertising purposes, and as a result he newspapers In many of our surround ing towns have a large Advertising patronage all the year around. There are people who ore always ready to glvo an advertisement to some traveling scheme, and, In some cases, pay an exhorbltnnt pi loo for the ad vortlsemont, who never advertise In a home papt r at. vory low rates. It Is sitr prising sometimes how easy a smooth tongued stranger can Indiieo persons engaged In business to give an adver tisement, at tho strangers own price, for some scheme that will not benefit the advortlser at all. - PostolTice Inspector. A postofflce Inspector was here last week looking for a larger room to move the Reynoldsvllle postfflce Into, but we understand that he left town without securing a suitable room for the price Uncle Sam wants to pay. The Inspect or wanted the room In the Nolan block that Mr. Sutler will soon vucato, but didn't want to pay. the rent asked. We have been Informed that Undo Sam wants a large room, wants tho ownor of building to put In a large case with 400 lock boxes In It, wants a burgular proof vault in building, roll top desk, light, heat and water Included, and will pay 1400.00 per annum for same. We suppose that If an effort was mado to movo the' postofflce very far from Its presont location, either up or down tho street, that there would be a howl go up and vory likoly a long petition sont to Washington protesting against moving It. No doubt Mr. Roes can he pursuaded to build an edition on to the present postofflce building. Coasting on Sidewalks. Florence Elliott, youngest daughter of W. C. Elliott, hud a narrow escape from serious Injury Saturday morning by being knocked down by a coasting sled. Coasting and skating on side walks aro prohibited by a borough ordinance, Dut the boys and girls kuep at It, when sidewalks are In condition for skating, regardless of the law, and pedestrians have . to glvo them the right-of-way or an accident Is sure to occur. No one enjoys seeing the boys and girls having a good tlmo more than does the editor of THE Star, but they should not bo allowed to engage In such dangorous sport, to thomselves and others, as coasting and skating on side walks, and about the only way to put a stop to It is to muko several arrests and then the boys and girls will bo con vinced tbat the borough ordlnanoe moans something. Christmas Present. For sevoral years we bavo suggostcd about this time of year that a subscrip tion to The Star for one year would be a suitable Christmas prosent to clve a friend who does not already toko The Star, and each year a fow people act on the suggestion, and for that reason we make the same suggestion this year. What can you buy for $1.00 tbat a friend would got as much benefit out of and be reminded every week in the year of the giver, as a year's subscription to The star y Try It. Report of Public Schools.

The Enterprising Citizens Should Make An Effort for New Industries. At this season of the year, when manufactors are closing up their busi ness for 1002 and are making arrange ments for the future, and some, no doubt, are looking around for new and advantageous locations, just such as Reynoldsvllle bos to offer, would It not be a very opportune time for the enter prising citizens of this town to bestir themselves and make another effort to locate a manufacturing Industry or two In our midst. There are few, If any towns, that can offer better Induce ments for capitalists to Invest money In a large industry than Is offered In Rey noldsvllle. Land will be given free, fuel Is cheap, taxes low, good railroad facilities, it. fact everything that An industry can find in Any other section of the country. A large Industry can bo operated cheaper at this town than anywhere else. When our town has gotten after an Industry In real earnest It has landed the industry, but we have not been uhaxlng as many Industries as we should-. We must know this that If we would gut an Industry we must go after it, they will not force themselves upon us. With good schools, good churches, electric lights, waterworks, street car line, and soon to have paved streets, cheap fuel, free manufacturing sites, good railroad fuclllties, &o., &o., we can certainly present Inducements to capitalists to come our way. If wo arouse to our opportunity anothor In dustry will bu In operation at Reynolds vllle before 1003 draws to a close. Shall we bu up and doing ? Has some ono in town an application from some Industry desiring a location V Bring out the application and lot It be glvon duo consideration. A Year of Success. To-day the Roynoldsvlllo Business College celebrates the first anniversary of Its existence undur the management of Prof, and Mrs. H. J. Hughes. The growth of this college has been marvel ous and speaks well for the ability of the principal und Instructors. From a feeble beginning with butslx pupils the school has steadily grown until to-day it num bers ovor fifty regular pupils, with many graduates In responsible positions, and in equipment and quarters tukes rank with the leading business colleges In tho State. A room in the Henry build ing was first rented and seemed vory largo, but before three months had passed It became too small to accommo date the Inoreasod number of pupils. In the spring an entire suite of rooms on the second floor of the now Deible block was rontcd and fitted up especially for the convenience of the college, having an offlce and so para to roo'ns for the dif ferent o lassos. Several now Smith Pre mier and Remington typewriters were added, together with other new equip ment, and a short time ago the rooms wore entirely refurnished. Tho college is thoroughly modorn In Its methods and teaches every branch necessary for a good business education. Bookkeoping, Shorthand, Typewriting, Arithmotic and othor branches are taught daily and on Mondays, Wednes days and Fridays, evening sessions are held which are now attended by many who cannot be present In day time. The college deserves the hearty re ception given to It, and there Is no'noed of any person leaving the town to se cure, bettor advantages, for Prof. Hughes offers all that Is desired, from excollont methods of teaching to securing situa tions for his graduates. To tha Reynoldsvllle Business Men. I, as a business man of this city, sug gest that a business man's league be formed at once (or various reasons. One namely at this time, is the adver tising schemes, such as hotel registers, chart advertisers and other catch-penny advertising which does the business fraternity no good in returns whatever, We have newspapers that are good mediums of advertising and a benefit to our town. The business men of other towns have abolished patronizing these travelling advertising schemes. Why not us ? Business Man. Csrd of Thanks.

THE SUICIDE WILL BE BURIED TO-DAY All Efforts to Identify the Unfor tunate Man were In Vain. WILL BE BURIED IN REYN- OLDSVILLE CEMETERY. It It Claimed (hit he Stayed st palls Creek th Night Mora Committing Suicide snd Said his Horns wai al Braddock. - Notwithstanding the fact that the man who committed suicido on Main street the evening of November 28, by sending a bullet crashing Into his brain, was recognized at urst as a man named Mottern, then Oliver Motter and Joseph liulley, be will be burled to-day unclaimed and unknown, although every possible effort was made to have the man Identified. Undertaker J. 11. Hughes embalmed the body and has kept it in his under taking rooms. While walling for some one to identify the body he was experi menting with nls embalming process. Although the body was not burled until to-day, twelve days after death, yet It Is In good condition. this is certainly a remarkable case, and it shows how people can be mis taken as to Identity of persons. The man looked so much like Joseph Balloy that people with whom Bailey had boarded two or three years, deolared that It was Bailey, and to prove that they wore correct, a scar would be found on right foot, and it was there. Ihen iiuiley sson, In telephoning from Shuwmut, said his father also had a scar on right knee, and an examination revealed the fact that the dead man bad a scar on bis knee, but it is claimed that Bailey Is al his home in Shawmut. Another parly claimed tbat the dead man was Oliver Motter from over near Clarion river, and a telephone message was received here that friends would come after the body. In a couple of hours alterwaid another telephone mossage brought tho news that Motter was at his home alive. The editor of The Star received a letter lust Friday morning from Dr. R. M. Boylo, of r'alls Creek, in which Doctor stated that the man who had committed suicide In Reynoldsvllle had stayed all night in the city home at rails Creek lust previous to taking bis own life and that the nlghtwatobman had talked to the man awhile, tie told the watchman ho was a pattern maker, lived in Braddock, had a wife and three children, lie had been working at Bradford, hud sent all tils wages to his family and then contracted pneumonia and for awhile was sick, and without money he started home. He would not beg, but was given something to eat tho following morning. 1 (linking tbat there was a possibility that the man did have a family in Brad-' dock, the editor of this paper procured a photograph of the dead man and sent it, with particulars of the stiloldo, to William Bennott, cbief-of-pollce of Braddock, and on Monday received the following reply from Mr. Bennott : "lour favor at hand and contents noted. I had my officers to muke In quiry about tho suicido, but wo could nod no trace of any ono knowing or recognizing the picture. Should we, however, find out anything we will let you know immediately.'' the dead man was live feet 8 Inches tall, had heavy mustache, generously sprinkled with gray, heavy eyebrows and was bald headed. Ho was a man about 55 years old. At ten o clock this forenoon Under taker Hughes will bury the unknown man in tbe Roynoldsvllle Cemetery, where just enough ground to bury him In was bought. ' B., R.
