Dwelling Burned Wednesday, Wednesday afternoon of this week, about half past one o'olock, the word was passed along Main street that tbe fine dwelling of H. G. Verstino, located on South Pickering street, Brookville, was on fire. Soon after word came that It could not be saved and a little later the flames were seen as they broke out trough the windows and roof of the building. The fire caught In the sew ing room upstairs, presumably from a small gas stove. When first noticed a few buckets of water would have put tho fire out, had tho water been at hand. In a few minutes the fire gained such headway it could not be extinguished. When the hose was attached to the fire plug nearby there was not force enough to throw a stream onto the blazo. Near ly everything In the house was saved, Including furniture, clothing, fixtures, etc. The houso was an excellent one and the loss will roach $8,000 or over. We understand there Is no insurance.

JUDGE REED SUSTAINED. Judgment of Jefferson County Court In Case ol Verstine vs. Yeaney Affirmed The Supreme Court has handed down an opinion sustaining Judge Reed In the case of Verstine vs. Yeaney. The question involved in this case is a very important, one to land owners. Mr. Stamey, of Reynoldsville,. took an op tion on certain coal land but failed to comply strictly with the terms of his option. Later when the land became worth several times the amount it had been optlmn d for, Mr. Stamey under took to enforce his option. The Jeffor son county court held that It was void and could not be enforced, and it is this decision which tho Supremo Court has just affirmed. Judgo Reed has been on the bench now about ten years, and during this time there have been but twenty-three appeals taken from his decisions. Twenty-one of these have been affirmed and two reversed. In view of the large number of cases which have been beard and disposed of since Judge Reed went on the bench, this Is a most remarkable record. It Is remarkable both In tha small number of appeals taken and the few reversals of those that were taken. It may well be doubted whether there is another judge In the state who has a better record than this in tbe apellate courts. Brookville Republican. BEECHWOODS WEDDING.

NovelDrama. "Why Girls Leave Home" is the novel title of a drama which will be soon at tbe Reynolds opera house on Monday evening, Jan. 16. Tbe theme is taken from life and so handled Jthat nature flows through every 'part of it. Tbe laugh, the tear, tbe awsome sus pense follows each other alternately throughout, each dominating the auditor In its own impressive way. The plot binges upon a young girl who sub mits to the attentions of a travelling salesman, against the wishes of her family. Her elder brother In particu lar, tbe man of tbe house, takes upon himself to rule her with a rod of Iron to which she as resolutely objects, and out of which grows the denoument of the play. This Is from the hand of well known Frank Dodge and Is claimed to be one of his master efforts. Think of It Mothers I There is no place that a girl can com mence her downfall as quickly as on the streets or going to the depot to meet every train that comes In. Parents who have daughters should teach them that there is nothing cute about making chance acquaintances of the men they happen to meet on the streets. DuBois Morning Journal. A gentleman who has resided in Reynoldsville four months said the other evening that he had never been in a town where he saw so many girls standing in hallways and dark places along tbe streets talking to young men as he had seen since he came to Reyn oldsville.
