The second well, which was abandoned the latter part of last week, was drilled near M. M. Moore's. This well was drilled over 2,500 feet deep, but did not strike either gas or oil. Some person started a report lost Wednesday that oil bad been found at this well, but it was a false report. Tbe company is talking of drilling another hole. Tbe third hole may be the lucky one. Will Report Favorable. Some of tbe industries south of town have been trying for two years to get a public road from the silk mill through to connect with tbe publio road at S. M. Gourky's, but have been unable to get viewers to report favorable on the new road. During the two years the court appointed three or four sets of viewers. The last viewers appointed by the court viewed the road Saturday and we understand they will report In favor of opening this road. The WInslow town ship supervisors were willing to open a road from silk mill down to steel plant and Reynoldsville Brick & Tile Com pany plant, but on account of bridge across the creek at that point and a large fill, they opposed opening the road throngh to Gourley's. If tbe road is opened it will shorten the distance into town for people living at Wishaw, Panic and that section.

McDonald, who spent three months in Boston, Mass , and returned home alone a few days ago, had money Btolen from him on , train between Boston and Albany on his way home.

Ronald had bought some thing on the train and had a five dollar bill changed. Ho put two or three paper dollars In an envelope, stuck envelope Into his pocket aud afttr while foil asleep.

Monday, August 6, 1906, in the Mercy Hospital in Pittsburg, Mrs. Philip Koehler, of Reynoldsville, passed out of this life without a strug gle. Mrs. Koehler had been suffering more or less for five years with stomach trouble, but the past six months her Buffering had been intense at tlmeB and her condition had become so critical that an operation was tbe only hope of prolonging her life. Monday of last week Bhe wen i to Mercy Hospital and Friday forenoon was operated on. Her case bad been correctly diagnosed; she could only have lived a Bhort time with out the operation. Mrs. Koehler had rallied from the operation and was apparently getting along nicely until late Monday after noon when there was a change and In a few hours she died. Mr. Keohler and his son, Roman, spent over an hour with ber Monday afternoon, leaving the hospital about four o'clock, at Mrs. Koehler's request, to go to Donora to Bpend tbe night at home of Roman that Mr. Koehler might get a good night's rest. When Mr. Koehler reached the home of his son about six o'clock he found a message awaiting him that his wife was dying. By running a quarter of a mile he caught a train as it was pulling out of Donora station and reach ed the hospital about three-quarters of an hour before his wife passed out of this life. Had he been a half minute later at Donora he would have been too late to have had a farewell talk and held her hand while Bhe was crossing the valley of death. When Mr. Koeh ler arrived at hospital Mrs. Koehler knew that her lamp of life was flicker ing and that she bad only a short time to live, yet she talked calmly with her husband about dying, assured him she was not afraid to depart, made some requests for her youngest son, Robert, and then peacefully fell asleep never to awaken again. She died as she bad lived, with simplicit faith and trust in the Savior. No wonder that Moses, the Great Law Giver, said : "Let me die tbe death of the righteous." She bad a beautiful character. Kind, unselfish, charitable, modest and amia ble, a devoted wife and mother and a very kind neighbor. Over twenty years ago she united with the Methodist Episcopal church and lived a consistent christian life, always faithful in attend ing church services when health per mitted, She was a member of the Foreign Missionary Society of the churcb. MarthaiBarry was maiden name of deceased. She was horn in Sprague vllle, Monroe Co., Pa., February 20,. 1854, and was 52 years, 5 months and 17 days old at lime of death. April 14, 1873, was united in marriage to Philip Koehler. In 1883, twenty-three years ago, Mr. and Mrs. Koehler moved to West Reynoldsville. Mrs. Koehler is survived by her hus band, two sons and two daughters : Mrs. C. K. Hawthorn, of DuBols, Roman E. Koohler, of Donora, editor of Donora America, Mrs. V. L. Moore, of Washington township, and Robert Koehler at home. Tbe body of Mrs. Koehler was brought to the family residence on the 6.25 train last evening, and funeral service will be held in the M. E. church at 2.00 p. m. to-morrow, Thursday, conducted by Dr. J. A. Parsons, pastor of the church. Interment will be made in Reynolds ville Cemetery. The Keystone Band.

Tbe Keystone is one of the oldest and best musical organizations in western Pennsylvania at the present time and numbers among its member ship musicians of rare ability.
