Last week the Pennsylvania Hall road Company made a change on some of its divisions, lnoludlng the Allegheny division, of which the Low Grade la part. Heretofore this division extend ed from Pittsburg to Oil City and from Red Bank to Driftwood, with T. B. Dab ny as superintendent. Under tbe new arrangements 28 mile of the Allegheny division is cut off, from Klsklminata Junction to Pittsburg, and that section of railroad has been added to the Con- emaugh division. James Buckelew Is the new superintendent of 'his di vision. This change makes it necessary for the superintendent's office to be moved away from Pittsburg, but just where the new headquarter will be located is not definitely known yet. Most likely Franklin will be selected for superintendent's office. We are in hopes that the new superintendent will not think It uecessary to move' tbe Low Grade dispatcher's office away from Reynoldsvllle. This Is the middle of the Low Grade and' we sannot see what better location Mr. Buckelew can find for this office. Qillllan Missed Connections. It is a great disappointment to all concerned, 'especially to the manage ment of the lecture course, that Mr. Gillllan was unable to fulfill his engage ment at Assembly hall Monday even ing. Mr. Gillllan was on his way from South Dakota with barely time for hi trip. He made schedule time until reaching Cleveland, where his train failed to make connections. This num ber promised to be tbe most pleasing of this season's attractions and his failure to appear is keenly regretted by all. However, the management Is very for tunate In having an attraction soon to be presented tbat even eclipses the ex cellence of Mr. Gillllan' lecture, that can be given a the fifth number of the oourse. The entertainment referred to l "The Lion and the Mouse" given by Mr. Edward P. Elliot. The date set for this number Is April 11th. AH ticket sold and neat reserved for the Gillllan lecture will be accepted tor Mr. Elliot's recital. J Note In other column of this paper comment upon this presentation of "Tbe Lion and the Mouse." "King Richard III" and Mantell. "King Richard III," In whloh Mr. Mantell will act in the Jefferson Theatre Punxsutawney Pa , Monday, April 8, is proving tbe most expensive piece of theatrical property with which be has ever been associated. He originally produced tbe tragedy In 1902, at outlay of 112,000 for scenery and costumes; but It had two seasons of bard travel by the time he was ready to go Into New York City In December of 1904, to that It wan then in tattera, while there was no time to get up fresh scenery. A month or so later, In Pittsburg, he and Mr. William A. Brady, bis manager, designed a fresh production of uncommon beauty. ItsoBtunly $9,000; but that was owing to the fact that It was gotten up from Mr. Brady's own Btock and by bis own salaried employes, being a duplicate of tbe production of the tragedy made by Sir Henry Irving In London in 181)0. The theatre In which the production was painted burned before the paint was dry, and the production was destroyed. Then, following Sir Henry's death, Mr. Brady purchased the great Lyceum production; and it was destroyed in a railway wreck on the way from London to the boat at Southampton. MessrB. Brady and Mantell were able to recover only what they had paid the Irving estate $0,000 and not what tbe production was worth, $15,000. They next got up a special production for tbe Garden Theatre, New York City; but this was found to be too big for many of the playhouses in Other cities, so that a second .and smaller production was prepared. As It bad been in constant use, this bad to be replaced last January. Total to date for Mantell' "Richard III" scenery, $44,000. Fascinating Story. On Thursday night of next week, April 11th, Prof. Edward Elliott will present "Tbe Lion and tbe Mouse" In Assembly ball.

All this is woven Into a fascinating story that holds you like a vice, makes you laugh without any effort to be funny. A story with a message tbat makes men and women think.
