Correction in Marriage Notice.
In the notice published in THE STAR
last week that George F. Osborn, of

young lady In Brookvllle on New Year's

In Reynoldsvllle. The Stab joins with
the numerous friends of Mr. and Mrs.

was looking along train from cab win
dow when bt suddenly thought of No. 2
bridge at west end of yard and jerked
bis bead into cab, but not quick enough
to escape an ugly cut two Inches long
above bis right eye. Two seconds more
and we would have bad to publish the
young man's death notice.

Attempted to Steal a Cap.
During the Christmas time rush a
fellow stepped Into Mlllirens store to
buy a cap and when the clerk walked
away to wrap the cap up the fellow said
to a man standing beside him, "I guess
I will take a cap," and he stuck one
under his coat, but the follow didn't
know he was committing a theft In the
presence of Ex-Constablo P. J. Ward,
a man that Is "as honest as tho day is
long." Mr, Ward managed to quietly
inform Mr. Mill iron of the man's in
tention and then stopped out of the
store. When would-be-thtuf was ready
to go out of store he was requested to
tako the cap out from under his coat
and leave It In tho store. He fli'Bt de
nied having a cap that had not been
paid for, but when he found that he
had to produce the cap or be searched,
he pulled tho cap out and said it was
only a Christmas joke.
County Institute.
The Jefferson county teachers' Insti
tute held at Brookvllle last week was
largely attendod and would have been
the best institute ever held In the
county had It not been for the disap
pointments In the evening entertain
ments. Dr. Hillis, who was to have
lectured on Tuesday night failed to fill
his engagement, and Senator Dolliver,
who was bcoked to lecture on Thursday
evonlng, failed to appear. Prof. Tolt-
rick provided good substitutes from his
corps of day Instructors, but the people
were disappointed all the Burae because
they did not hoar the men they expect
ed to hear.
Tho day sessions wore excellont and
the teachers could not ask for better
instructor than those secured by Prof.
Tcltrlck for the day sessions.
Trolley Crossover Not In.
The trolley cars have only been run
ning as far as the Jefferson Supply Com
pany store on account of the fact that
the car cannot cross the R. & F. C. R'y
tracks at that point until the crossover
Is put In.. The crossover arrived Sat
urday and it was the Intention to put It
on Sunday and have 'the trolley cars
running down Jackson street to Sixth
street on Monday, but the crossover
was for a straight track and there Is a
curve in the railroad track at that
point and the crossover had to be sent
to DuBois Iron Works to be chauged.
It Is not likely that the trolley car will
be running down Jackson street before
Monday of next week.
The new trolley cars have not arrived
yet, but are expected any day.
Town Not Quarantined '
A report appeared In the Pittsburg
Dispatch yesterday from Punxsutawney
In which It was stated that Eleanora, a
town of about 2,000 Inhabitants, six
miles out from Reynoldsvllle, had been
quarantined on account of so many cases
of small-pox at that place. The report
was not correct. The town baa not
been quarantined.
Week of Prayer.
This Is the week of prayer and special
meetings are being held in the Baptist

Tha Ladles' Reception Given by The
Elks Wss a "Swell" Affair.
Last Thursday evening tho B. P. O.
E. Lodge of this place held a ladies' re
ception In their elegant rooms, which,
without exaggeration, was tho gruntest
social event thBt has ever taken plneo
In Reynoldsvlllo ; it was certainly a
"swell" affair. Many of the ladles wore
dressed In evening costumes and the
gentlemen wore full dress suits. The
ladles, many of them at loast, wore tak
en to and from the party In cabs. Tho
rooms Were nicely decorated with tho
lodge colors and potted plants. Each
lady was glvo'j a beautiful boqiiet of cut
flowers as she entered the rooms. Tho
banquet was all that could be desired
by tho most fastidious epicurean, It was
luxurious There were 1(H) persoi.s
present and l.r0 wore seated at the
tables at one tlmo. An orchestra of
five ploccs rendered excellent muslo
during tho evening. Dancing, card
playing and other guinos were tho en
tertainments furnished.
From the reports given by those who
wore present, it was a vory cnjoyalilo
and pleasant reception, in fact so ex
ceedingly pleasant that sumo of tho
ladlos aro Inquiring when tho next re
ception will bo held.
Catholic Ladles' Bazssr.
The bazaar held by tho ladies of the
Cathollo church during holiday week
was a success, but It would havo been
more of a success had the ladles been
able to secure a suitable room to hold
the bazaar in. They first opened the
bazaar in tho vacant room next door to
Goodor's jewolry storo, but that room
was too small and tho Indies finally
moved tho bazaar to Bell's hall. They
cleared $270.00 from bazaar. A picture,
mirror, rooking chair and doll wero
chanced off. Fred Foley got picture,
Samuel Ensell tho mirror, Miss Julia
Stoke tho chair and Joan Golslcr tho
doll. Miss Marie Boh re n sold over
1,500 chances on the picture at 10 cents
a chance. Miss Josephine Bur goon
sold the chances on chair and William
Murphy sold chances on the mirror.
Joan Gelsler had charge of tho guessing
contest on doll, which Father Brady
named Eve, and as no ono guessed the
name of tho doll, It was given to Joan.

Annual Banquet.
The first annual banquet of the
Knights of Malta took place at tho City
Hotel on Wednesday ovenlng, Deo. 31.
It was a cuccoss In every particular.
About eighty companions and their
wives wended their way to the dining
hall, which was beautifully decorated
for the occasion In the Malta colors,
rod and bluck, and an hour or more was
spent In relieving tho tables of tho
many good things that mlno host Wiley
had prepared. A handsome souvenir
In tho form of a maltose cross was pre
sented to each lady. The guests on
returning to the hall, enjoyed them
selves In various amusements, welcom
ed tho coming and bid adieu to the
parting year. The only llaw that mar
red the occasion was the failure of the
"Famous" Star orchestra of our town
to fulfill its engagement, It having been
engaged for six weeks previous, other
wise the affair was a complete success
In every way, and the first annual ban
quet of Mystic Coramandory No. 313,
will recall pleasant recollections to
those who participated In it.
Common Lot of Man.
There is no use worrying, fretting
and losing sleep because some one has
found fault with what you do. 'Tls the
common lot of a man in business. The
merchant doesn't please all of bis cus
tomers ; the postmaster Is cuffed and
kicked for alleged mistakes ; tho rail
road agont Is frequently backed up in
the corner and given to understand this
that and the other thing ; the butcher
Is forever reminded of the tough steak,
and oven the minister finds It hard to
please all tho congregation with bis
best sermons. If you do not bellevo this
ask those moo. The newspaper man
gets more than bis share of It and Is ex
pected to got out a cheorful newspaper
all tho same. A man befriends another
for years and Is turned down and abused.
Such things are not pleasant, but they
always have been and doubtless always
will bo and the man who goes through
them the easiest Is the one who pays
least attention to them and goes right
along trying to be pleasant and useful.
