J Elson Smith in Arizona. We received a letter yesterday from J Eleun Smith, of Prescottvllle, who is now in Arizona on a business trip. The letter was written at Globe, Arizona, Wednesday, January 23rd. Mr. Smith says : "The weather is fine here at present. A person can sit out doors In shirt sleeves until 7.00 p. m., same as In May or June at Reynoldsvllle. As we traveled along the road at noon to-day we saw cows lying under shade trees to get out of the hot sun. The roads are dusty in places." The day Mr. Satith wrote the above letter, Wednesday of last week, it was 16 to 18 degrees below zero at Reynolds vllle. Mr. Smith says Globe has a popula tion of 10,000 and it is claimed that in the near future It will be one of the best mining camps in Arizona. ' A Play Worth While. It is doubtful If ever a play has been presented in Reynoldsvllle that gave more genuine satisfaction to the audlnce than did "Quinoy Adams Sawyer" Thursday evening last at Park Theatre. There was nothing of the sensational about the drama, nothing to offend the most fastidious taste. It was a picture of simple unaffected tillage life, over-flowing with sane, healthy humor, mixed with tender pathos and emotions of a deeper kind, that came very near to the hearts of the people. The company carries its own scenery and with its aid the audience was transported to the old days In New England with its cross roads store, singing school, husking bees and quaint customs. From "Q. Adams Sawyer," who "came from Boston direct," to "Samanthy," the inimitably "aggrava tin' brat" who worried the cantankerous old lady who was herself "jest put on earth to worry other people," the parts were well played. The audience manifested approval in a way that should encourage the management to secure more companies and plays as meri tortus as this one. WEDDING IN BEECHWOODS.

Large Crowds, Attending Evangelistic Meetings Every Night This Is The Last Week. This is the third and last week of the union gospel meetings now being held in the Park Theatre under the direc tions of Dr. Arthur J. Smith, of New York, and Prof. Chester A. Harris, of Cleveland, Ohio. Dr. Smith is cer tainly a remarkable man in evangelistic work, well qualified for that line ot work. The more the people bear him and the better they become acquainted with him the better they like him. He it thoroughly consecrated to the work of evangelization. Perhaps the best and most scholarly sermon he has preached here was his sermon Sunday morning. There" Is more personal work being done this week and more prayers offered than there has been any other week since the meetings began. Prof. Harris and the large chorus choir are giving Dr. Smith splendid assistance in the work of winning people from the patbs of sin into the religious life. Over 250 persons have already manifested a desire to forsake sin, join some church and live a christ ian life. Great things are expected in the remaining few nights of this meeting. A large number of men and women are under conviction, who have not yet made a step in the christian pathway, that will likely make a start befor the meetings olose. Thursday evening of last week Dr. Smith preached to a congregation of men in Centennial hall, subject; "Why Men Sin?" The same evening at same hour Mr J. M. Correy, Sec. of the DuBois Central Y. M. C. A., conducted a service in the Presbyterian church for women. Friday night a large audience attended the evangelistic meeting In Park Theatre. Four meetings were held in Park Theatre Sunday.

There, will be a meeting in the Presbyterian church this afternoon and on Thursday and Friday a two days christian convention will be held In the M. E. church. See program in this issue of The Stab.

Tbt Fianklin ft Clearfield Railroad. There has been a great deal of speculation and talk by the citizens of Brookvllle and the newspapers of sui rounding towns as to the route that will be taken by the Franklin & Clear field railroad through our town. But we can state positively that the route has not yet been fixed upon, and another thing that Is almost as certain is, that after it has once been determined upon it will not be published to the world until they have secured all the right of way that it is possible to secure by an amicable agreement. The engineer, Mr. At wood, who has charge of the engineer corps that will locate the lice, has been in town for a little more than two weeks, looking over the different routes and getting the lay of the land, and at the present time with his corps . Is engaged In making a survey of the., different lines by which it is possible to. , get through town. After the surveys, . are compleud they will be laid before , the board of directors, who, with the . advice of tbe chief engineer, Mr. Rockwell, will decide upon tbe route to . betaken. So when anybody -tells you which way tbe road is going, you are , entitled to a guess also, and are just as , liable to be correct as tbey are Brook;-, vllle Democrat. Furs.
