rheumatism for more than eight
months and at times had to get up at 11
o'clock and stay up the balance of the
night. Could not dress myself without

A Passenger Ticket.
The principle that when a railroad
company sells a ticket that ticket is
lood for one ride' between the points
iiamed,upon it is a well known ono, yot
it Ik one that tho railroads have con
sistently fought for many years, claim
ing that a ticket was a contract
entered into between the company and
the purchaser whereby tho latter agrees
that no one but himself shall use the
same for transportation. In this con
nection the Supremo Court In New
York has recently handed down an im
portant decision in which it is said that
the right to sign another man's name
to a railroad ticket which has been sold
by ono passenger to another is not
forgery, and that the sale of the ticket
carries with It the purchaser's right to
sign to it the name of the man from
whom he bought it. This decision,
which Ih the first of its kind, sets a
precedent in the exchange of railroad
tickets which effects thousands nf
passongers. Falls Creek llcruld.

Maro, the Magician.
There is nothing more delightful to
the little ones, or the older ones either,
than an entertainment In maglo. They
have all read about Aladdin and bis
wonderful lamp. They have all read
tho fascinating books of Hans Ander
son, and the marvelous "Grimm's Fairy
Tales," and know the different wizards
in these stories so well that if they met
them on the street they wouldn't be the
least afraid. But It la one thing to
read about these wizards of "ye olden
times" and quite another to see one in
this enlightened day of the world. To
bo sure there are only a few, a very few
real meritorious and recognized eon
jurors In our country to-day, and "the
youngest of the great and the greatest
of the young" of these wonder-workers
is Maro. His easy graceful manner and
pleasant conversational way of present
ing things to his audience at once wins
their confidence and esteem. For by
his peculiar mothod of working he gives
out the tmprostlon that he Is not trying
to deceive his audience, and to this fact
alone may be attributed a greater por
tion of Maro's success, for bis auditors
at once become on friendly terms with
him, and enter Into the various illu
sions almost as ardently as the magic
Ian himself. Maro is always looking
about him for something new, and Is
constantly presenting a program of late
novelties. He may be termed a "popu
lar conjuror," for he Is just wise enough
for the sedate, humorous enough for
the jovial, reflnod enough for the
fashionable, and just mysterious enough
to please the old and the young alike.

County Commissioner E. T. McGaw.
SHMHHMHHMMHMHMMMUHHHMMMHI
McGAW-WOODS CONTEST
DEFINITELY SETTLED.
Case Withdrawn and Costs will be Paid
by the Petitioners. Mr. McGaw will
Serve Full Term.
It was stated In The Star last week
that the election contest case of E. T.
McGaw and Frank Woods had virtually
been settled In Mr. McGaw's favor, but
that Judge Reed had held the case over
until Monday, January 15, to get all the
names of the original signers of the
petition for the contest on the petition
for withdrawal of the contest, all but
three having signed the withdrawal
petition when the case came before the
court on the 8th Inst. The other three
names were added to the petition last
week and on Monday of this week
Judge Reed dismissed the case at the
cost of the petitioners, and Mr. McGaw
will now serve the full term as com
missioner. Mr. McGaw will fill the
office creditably and can always be de
pended upon to look faithfully after the
Interests of the tax payers of Jefferson
county.
The charge In the petition for
contesting Mr. McGaw's seat on board
of county commissioners was that about
seventy Illegal votes had been polled in
North Young township by persons
whose names did not appear on the
register, and there was no charge of
fraud either agalnBt the election board
or Mr. McGaw, In fact Mr. McGaw
knew nothing about the vote In North
Young preoinct until the contest case
was Instituted. It appears now that
the names of mostall, If not all, of those
oharged with illegal voting were on the
register, but they are foreigners and
were not registered under the same
names they had given at other places.
The judge said in his remarks In dis
missing the case that there was no
charge of fraud in the petition, only a
irregularity of the election board.
We understand that out of thirty
precincts Investigated in getting up a
defense for Mr. McGaw, that there was
not one in which irregularity, from one
to forty-three votes, was not found on
the Bame ground that complaint was
made in North Young precinct.
It is also claimed that some election
boards paid no attention to the sheriff's
proclamation and the election laws in
organizing the boards, In as much as
township officers and U. S. mall carriers
were allowed to sit on election boards.

Mrs. James Ross Is still in Reynolds
ville caring for her daughter, Mrs.

A big fire occurred here Monday
morning, between the hours of seven
and eight o'clock. A large block owned
by the Jefferson & Clearfield Coal &
Iron Co. was entirely consumed, The
men had to work heroically to save the
adjoining house.
A shooting match took place here
recently, the company's store was the
mark. A number of foreigners were
standing In road a Bhort distance
above the store and were shooting, no
one knew what at when all of a sudden
a ball crashed through the large window
In the front of the store, through the
show case window and struck the steam
register In the center of the store,
where a short time previous a number
of people had been standing. Had it
been a draw day for the people here
and the store full of children and grown
people no knowing what the conse
quences would have been. The com
pany's store is a small mark (?) to shoot
at.
Maro as an Artist.
A magician must have some artistio
temperment but an artist need not have
the temperament of a necromancer. In
Maro, however, are combined both
these talents. He is an exponent of art
Jn its highest sense, and the large
pictures drawn by him In full colors of
nature on his mechanically revolving
easel are truly an exhibition of art and
dexterity. He draws them In from
twenty-five to forty-five seconds and to
make it more wonderful and entertain
ing to the audience the pictures are
drawn edge wise and up side down, the
easel board afterwards being righted,
by mechanical contrivance, when the
beauty of a real work of art suddenly
dawns upon you, for Maro Is a real
artist. At Assembly hall Friday even
ing, January 26.
