It U really surprising the number of
person who ubo profane or obscene lan
fluage, which Is one of the most non
senates! habits a human being ever
acquired. No man or youth ever raised
himself In the estimation of saint er
Inner by the use of foul or profane
language. Purity of thought and
speech are valuable virtues.
Hon. S. Taylor North and Hon. Rob
ert H. Longwell, Jefferson county's
renreiipnt.HtlvfS In the ntate legislature,
have hpn appointed on Important com
mi Hoes. Mr. North was made a mem
ber of the appropriation and agricult
ural committees, and Mr. Long well
was made a member of printing, lib
rary and county and township com
mittees.
According to reports more than 11,
000,000 pieces of mail went estray in the
United States last year because they
were not directed well enough for the
experts to decipher the names and
addresses. Millions of this Immense
total went to the dead lotter office
where a lot of it was opened, the
addresses of the writers ascertained and
the letters or packHgPS returned. But
in a good many esses the writer's
address is never found and the letter is
really "dead" when, neither the sender
nor the prospective reciver can be dis
covered. Assistant Postmaster General
wants to got people into the habit of
writing their own addresses on the out
side of the envelope. This, he ays.
would save trouble for all bands. A
bettor way would be to come to The
STAR office and order envelopes printed
It would not be expensive.
Under tho present act to provide
medical attention bv the state for per
sons who are bitten by mad dogs, it is
necessary for the applicants to statu
under oath that they n:e too poor to
pay for the PaBtuur treatment. In
some cases people who are Inordinary
circumstances really cannot afford to
spend from $150.00 to $200.00 for such
treatment, nor do they care to almost
declare themselves paupers to get aid
from the state. Hon. S. Taylor North,
of this county, has presented an amend
ment to the present act, which pro
vides that medical attention be given
to all persons who have been bitten by
mad dogs and who make application
to the state for aid In taking the Pas
teur treatment. The hydrophobia
scare at Reynoldsvllle a year ago,
when four school children were bitten
by a mad dog and all were taken to the
Pasteur institution in Pittsburg, is why
Mr. North has presented his amend
ment to the old act.
During the political campaign last
fall a great howl was raised about the
grafts in connection with the furnish
ings and trimmings In the capltol
building at Harrisburg, which is to be
given , a thorough investigation if
Governor Stuart and our law makers
keep their promises. Whether any
person or persons got graft out of It we
don't know, but we do know that
Pennsylvania haB a state capltol that
every citizen of this commonwealth can
ba justly proud of. It is an imposing
and magnificent building, and the
trimmings are certainly beautiful. The
new capltol must be seen to ' get any
Idea of its immensity and grarduer. It
is worth a trip to Harrisburg to see the
building and its furnishings, and to see
the, Senate and House making laws.
Any person can get an edltoral pass
20.00 mileage book at the P. R. R.
station any day, if they have the price,
and it would not be a very expensive
trip to Harrisburg.
By a notice published In this Issue of
The Stab it will be seen that a meet
ing of the stockholders of the Reyn
oldsvllle Land Improvement Company
will be held February 18, at 8.00 p. m.,
in Centennial hall to elect a board of
directors and transact any other busi
ness that may be presented. Why not
arrange to complete the organization of
the board of trade, begun three months
ago, at the same meeting. There are
some very important matters that our
town should take up promptly and the
work should be done by a board of
trade. Several weeks ago mention was
made in this paper that it is the inten
tion of the P. R. R. Co. to move the
train dispatcher's office from Reynolds
vllle to Pittsburg In the spring and to
change the layover of several trains now
stopping here. The contemplated
change will mean the removal of about
thirty families from Reynoldsvllle. It
is possible that if thb matter is taken
up with the oompany soon that we may
he able to keep these families in Reyn
oldsvllle, and there is no doubt but that
representatives from a board of trade
would have more influence with the
oompany than a oommlttee of citizens
without an organization back of them.
There are other matters of importance
to our town that can be handled better
by a board of trade than by picked up
committees. We need a board of trade.
Shall we get together? It Is not
aeoessury to wait until February 18 to
organize aboard of tr&de. Delay in the
P. R. R. Co. matters may make us too
late. This is important.
Shall Wt Vote to Bond the Borough t
Yea.
Editor Star : '
I observe that a vote is to be taken
at the coming election on the question
of bonding the borough of Itcynoldsvllle
for the sura of ten thouxand dollars, the
money to be used, or so much of it as
may be necessary, in paving Main
street from Seventh street to the bor
ough line at Cool Spring Hollow, where
said load will connect with a macadam
or paved road In Wlnslow township,
built under state supervision.
Now it appears to me that tho case
should be more fully sot forth than is
done in the official notice referred to.
From information I have received at
Harrisburg, and here, this Main street
paving is to be done under state super
vision, and that the State of Pennsyl
vania will pay three-fourths, and the
borough one-fourth of the expense. The
curbing, however, must be paid for by
the borough.
It seems to me that if there was ever
a good chance to do a good thing and
get paid for it, it is right here. If past
experience is not sufficient to make
known the great benefit to be derived
from a paved street I do not know what
would convince any one. The excuse
that because the paving may not be in
front of one's property, is net a sufficient
one. What benefits the town benefits
all the property o vners. I consider
that the value of my property was en
hanced by the paving of the streets,
now accomplished, although, as Is well
known, none has been put down nor
will there be If this extension of the
paving of Main street shall come about
within three hundred feet of anything
I own. For all that I am decidedly in
favor of the proposed plan.
Except in this particular oaso our
town will never bo improved unless we
do it ourselves, and we certainly should
accept this proposit ion whereby we will
pay only one-fourth of the paving
proper. If we do not accept it we de
sorve to be set down as a back number
community. The spirit of progress is
abroad all over the country and we
must keep up with it. As an Instance
of what other places are doing, I will
state that in Mansfield, Tioga county,
the borough pays one-fourth of all brick,
stone or cement sidewalks laid down in
that borough and the result will be a
model town. I wish we would do that
here.
If the heavy taxpayers are in favor of
paving Main street, and I understand
they are, surely there should be no hes
itancy in embracing this opportunity.

Better wages to school teachers
means better teachers, and better teach
ers means better schools. This is a
matter that is not receiving the con
sideration it deserves. In many places
the schools are kept going merely as a
form, and because the law requires it,
than as a matter of good publlo policy.
Wherever this spirit of indifference
prevails there Is a corresponding spirit
of economy. Good management is pre
sumed to be mere cheapness. Efficien
cy appears to be regarded as a second
ary matter. The state ought to ap
propriate an additional five millions
biennially, and every cent of it should
be added to the wages of the teachers.
This should be specifically provided in
the bill. Punxsutawney Spirit. ;
. On and after March first postcards
bearing written messages upon the left
half of the front, the right half being
reserved for the address and postmark,
shall be admitted to both the domestic
and international mails of this country.
Heretofore the rules of the depart
ment required that one side of the card
should be reserved for the address only.
A bill was recently passed by the
U. S. Senate providing that railway
employes engaged in the handling of
trains shall not work more than sixteen
consecutive hours, which period is to
be followed by ten hours off duty. The
bill provides that under certain con
tingencies and in case of accident the
time fixed may be exceeded.
Ex-Senator James G. Mitchell, of
Perry township, T. M. Kurtz, of Punx
sutawney, and Hon. Henry I. Wilson,
of Big Run, are mentioned as prospec
tive candidates for State Senator from
Jefferson county next year.

coughing was constant, both by day and

The
Laboring Man
Talks
Going my way? Yes, I'm a
little late. Stopped to buy some
Sealshipt oysters for supper.
"What are they?" Why, nothl
ing but just the finest oysters
you ever tasted in your life.
"Too dearfora workingman?"
That's where you are dead
wrong. They are the only oys
ters a poor man can afford to
buy. When you buy Sealshipt
oysters you get solid meats, and
you are "not paying for dirty ice
water. My wife says that a pint
of Sealshipt will go as far as a
quart of any other oysters.
And as for the flavor you
come down some Sunday night
and my wife will give you an
oyster stew that will make you
think you never tasted an oyster
before.
