About 1145 Monday night a fierce fire broke out In the wooden block latween the wo three-story brick .llrilnira ocounled bv the drug stores of Stoke & Feicht Drug, Co. and H. L. McEntire, and It was only by ef- slent work of the fire companies id a irood water pressure that the fir was sroMen under control before a much heavier financial loss occurred. The fire started among the ammunition In one of the front windows of the Keystone Ci(?ar Co., G. T.

There were three store rooms In the wooden block. The one next to the 8toke and Feicht Drug Co. store, where the fire Btarted, was occupied hv Kevstone Cfear store, the middle I ' nA h CT.intoi" Ar.

The ore was goiieu under control before the building oc cupied by O'Hare was greatly damaged. 'Fortunately the three flats oyer the store rooms were not oocupled, the families having moved out just a few days ago. The entire loss will amount to about 15,000, with , small Insurance. The Keystone Cigar Co. toss amounts to 15,000, with small Insuranoe. There was a large stock of cigars on hand that would have been shipped away In a few days. Hunter & Milliren's loss will amount to $1,600, with small insuranoe. The wooden block Is owned by P. McDonald, whose loss amounts to $7,000 or $8,000, with small Insurance. The buildings are In the fire limits and two of the buildings will have to be replaoed with brick. The West Reynoldsville fire company "jfcand rendered excellent service during the fire.

Charles relton Pidgin Is an exceed ingly versatile man, for be has written two hlchlv successful books of widely different charaoter. They are "Quincy Adams Sawyer," beet New England story written, and "The Toymakers," a book of phantasy of a most amusing nd entertaining nature. No two books oould be more unlike, "Quincy Adams Sawyer" breathing of the quiet, rustic life of a country town, "The Toymak ers" full of fun from start to finish. The story is absolutely illogical, impossible and Improbable, yet it never fails to muse. "Quincy Adams Sawyer" is at times sweetly pathetic, "The Toy makers" is never anything but hilar iously funny, yet the same man has written both books and both books have been placed on the stage. "Quincy Adams Sawyer" is known from east to west as the greatest New England play ever produoed. "The Toymakers," while not quite so old as "Quincy Ad ams Sawyer," enjoys a reputation for remarkable success as a musical ab surdity, On Tuesday, November S, it will be brought to Park Theatre for one night only. It will be given by "The Jollities," a company of bright and clever entertainers, who will bring all f their own scenery and costumes. There are iwonty-slx original numbers of bright -and tuneful music written by Charles D. make ana jonn a. Mennett. Great Bargains at Hall's.

Independence Hall Reproduced. Pennsylvania was among the largest jof the contributors to the Jamestown (exposition, appropriating $100,000 for participation, and It was decided that this should be expended rather In a historical exhibit than In an exhibit of ber resources. w Day at Her state building la accordingly a reproduction of Independence Hall, Philadelphia, reduced one-quarter and finished within In the main according to the old pattern. Some few changes were necessary upstairs to meet the exposition Requirements, but the essen tial features, large apartments and halls and stnlrwaya, are exact copies. The building cost 30,000, and in It is much fine furniture of the old pattern. A clock and bell were placed In the belfry at a cost of J3.000. The bell weighs 1,500 pounds and la four feet at the spread of base. The clock atrlkea the hours and can be seen and heard In all parte of the exposition . gome fine old portraits are' shown In the Pennsylvania building of btstorlc scenes and personages.

The state holds the option on the laud, as other state commissions do. , A pleasant feature for Pennsylvania visitors Is that tliey llnd all of the newspapers of the state contributed by the publishers.

The Pennsylvania state history ex blblt Is located In the fireproof His tory building and Is under the direction of Dr. Albert Cook Myers, an eminent writer of American history, of Moylan, Philadelphia, and Professor M. D. learned, head of the department of German at the University of Pennsyl vnnlit, commissioned to prepare and Install the exhibit. They have by rea son of their wide knowledge of the subject and material with wblih they had to deal succeeded In collecting possibly the best exhibit of the kino the state has ever made. A series of large wall maps, five In number, show the historical develop ment of Pennsylvania. They are at tractively arranged on the walls, Inter spersing the large number of portraits of the distinguished makers of the State's history. The first of these maps Illustrates the Pennsylvania of 10(50, the second Penn sylvania of 1600, the third Pennsylva nia In 1715, the fourth Pennsylvania In 1735. The fifth Is a map of Penn sylvanla, Maryland and Virginia for 1735. The most extensive part of the ex hibit Is a loan collection of objects Illustrative of Pennsylvania history arraaged according to the state' his torical development. . One corner of the space represents the early period the Swedish devel opment. As an evidence of the paint taken In collecting the Pennsylvania exhibit It may be stated that a trained onlwrslty man was sent to Sweden, where he spent some time' securing photographs of document In the offl '' l!!iM of that (wv'ry relating to '.i.. -i-ttlement Of Sweden on thu Dela (Cortlnued on last pae.)

WAS TRAINED ON HEARST'S GREAT NEW YORK PAPERS His Work in the Herald Attracted Wide Attention and Secured the Attention of the Big Pittsburg Dailies. There is living In Reynoldsville to day a gentleman whose work with the cartoouist's pen and pencil is winning recognition from the big metropolitan dallies. Joe Horwitz, whose home for several years paot has been in Reyn oldsville, baj just received an appoint ment as cartoonist on the staff of the Plttt-burg J'raw and bis work will here after appear exclusively In tbat popular daily. A few yeers ago Mr. Horwitz had the honor of being associated with the great art department of the New York American and Journal and attained bis skill under the guidance of tbe gal axy of famous artists employed by Wil liam Randolph Hearst. No newspapers in the world haye gained such notoriety as the Hearst publications and much of ' their success has been due to the bold, fearless use of tbe cartoon In fighting corruption and wrong. Naturally tbe students in such a practical training fchiHil are eagerly Bought for and Mr. Horwitz left New York to enter the Pittsburg field. For a time held the position of cartoonist on the Herald, one of tbe minor dailies of Pittsburg, and contributed to other papers in the city. His work attracted tbe attention of tbe larger journals and resulted In tbe proffer and acceptance of a position on tbe Pre, one of tbe best known papers In the state, where be will vie for honors with Payne and Jamleson, the bright particular stars that gleam In the "Smoky City's" firmament of artists. ' Hard to Understand, A peculiar and remarkable thing oc curred In Smail's butcbor shop last Sat urday. Some time during the after noon they smelted fire. Looking all around no evidence of fire could be seen. They went to adjoining places, but no evidence of fire could be discovered. The smell of fire continued, however, and finally it was discovered to be in the Red bank telephone instrument, in side the box. What caused fire to ig nite there Is a mystery. Had It oc curred at night, when no one was in the shop, tbe building would have burned probably, and the origin of the fire would have been forever unknown. There was no storm, nothing unusual.
