The following anonymous communi cation was received last week, and while it Is customary to consign such communications to the waste basket, yet on account of tbe nature of this one we publish it: "If there Is any possibility of a monu ment being erected in Reynoldsville in honor of the dead soldiers, as men tioned in The Star last week, would It not be wise to consider where this mon ument should be erected? If a conspic uous place on one of our main streets could be procured for this purpose, would it not add an attractive spot to our town as well as remind us more frequently of their endurance and hard ships, than If erected in the suburbs of our town In the cemetery?" If we had a public square or park or suitable place in the town for such a monument, The Star would advocate the erection of tbe monument thereon. Will tbe author of the anonymous com munication pleaBe suggest a suitable place for a monument ? Please sign name if you have any more articles for publication. It Is not necessary that name should oe published but we must know author of communication. Resolutions of Respect.

County Supt. R. B. Teitrick to be Deputy ' state superintendent. Twelve years ago a young man named R. B. Teitrick, who was then principal of the Brockway ville schools, concluded be would like to be superintendent o( the schools of Jefferson county and he ' got after the office and was elected. At the time of his first candidacy the edl- ': ... tnr nf Tmj STAR u favnrahlv Im pressed with him and stated then that . :. j I . I . U . .. I A no mistake in electing Prof. Teitrick to the county superintendency, as be 1 seemed to possess the snap and ability ' to make a progressive man for the of fice he was seeking. Since his first election we have never had any reason to think we advised tbe directors wrongly in that election. The advance ment in tbe school work in Jefferson county during his superintendency of eleven years, is proof positive that be was the right man for the position, and now his appointment to the state position is not only a recognition of Prof. Teltrlck's capabilities, but it is a compliment for add endorsement of the good judgment of the school directors of Jefferson county in electing and re-., talcing Prof Teitrick in the office of; county superintendent. , On Monday of next week Prof. Teit-. rick will go to Hp.rrlsbUrg to assume , bis duties as deputy state superintend-., ent of publlo Instruction on the 7th in-, stant in place of Hon. Henry Houck, who was elected last fall as Secretary of Internal Affairs, and who assumes, bis duties in that office on 7th Inst. State Superintendent Scba'fTer will appoint some one to serve as superin tendent of tbe schools of this county unti the election in May of 190S. There are five aspirants for the appointment for oounty superintendent. The ap pointment will probably be made this week. Card of Thanks.
