looks. He has bad sufficient exper

Don't Have to Pay Cash in Advance.
Some people are under the Impression
that the new postoffice ruling makes
It necessary for subscribers for news
papers to pay cash In advance (or sub
scriptions, but this Is not correot.
Subscribers can allow their subscrip
tion to run one year without paying
it, but the new rule makes one year
the limit. Any arrearage over a year
requires one cent stamp on each paper
mailed. . '

company and a large crowd of people.
Tbe fire was extinguished with a few
buckets of water and the fire company
did not turn on water. The origin of
the fire is unknown, but Is supposed
to to have caught from a spark from

on that platform be has been conduct
ing bis campaign. He Is as well qual
ified as any candidate in the Assembly

we said in THE STAR several weeks
ago, that we believe Mr. Miller will
be one of the nominees for Assembly.

for a Year of Hustling.
An especially urgent calf Is made
upon tbe citizens to come out to the
Business Men's Association meeting
Tuesday night of next week. Besides
the election, of officers for the coming
year and, by 'the way, It looks as
though there may be a number of
changes in the offlc'al roster It is the
Intention to bring up the question of
some sort of celebration for Reynolds
ville this summer. Some wish tbe
Fourth observed in old time fashion,
others advocate holding the celebration
over until fall and give the citizens a
chance to spend the Fourth with some
of our neighboring towns. Tbe Asso
ciation meetings are always public and
free and on this occasion a special In
vitation is extended to all, members or
not, to be present.
This meeting was originally called
for Friday of this week but owing to
conflict of dates with two public enter
tainments was changed by order of tbe
president to Tuesday.

received several inquiries from distant
points on matters ranging all the way
from Industrial propositions to requests
for pointers on how to conduct an "Old
Home Week." Renovo Ib the latest
city to attempt the latter.
New Ruling Now in Effect
A large number of our subscribers
have responded to our tequest for pay
ment of back subscriptions to meet tbe
requirements of the new postal law
that goes into effect this month, and
we are very thankful to them for their
response In tbis matter. There aro
a number yet, however, who have not
made settlement, but we expect them
to do so as soon as possible. On account;
of this Isslie being mailed April 1st the
postoffice will allow the papers to be
mailed this week at the usual rate,
but the postmaster has informed us
that the law will be enforced hereafter.
We know that at this lime of year,
when work is slack, that some of our
subscribers are a little short on ready
cash and it is hard for them to pay
arrearages just now, but aro honest and
will pay when they can. Any that are
finable to pay ensh at this time can
make satisfactory Arrangements for
payment if tbey will see the editor
of The Star. As stated before, we
had nothing to do with the making
of this postal law and have no desire
to give any of our delinquent subscrib
ers trouble in getting their subscrip
tions adjusted, but the postal law
makes it necessary for us to get all
back subscriptions provided for.
Judge Reed Dismissed Petit on.
Monday Judge John W. Reed heard
arguments In a rule to Bhow cause why

words "vote for one," should not be
printed above the names of tho Demo
cratic candidates for county commis
sioners on the tickets which will be
used by the Democrats at the coming
primary election, April 11. The order
was msdeon the petition of one of tbe
candidates, who, citing a provision of
the state constitution, held that It is

HARD TO BEAT.
Mr. Ninian Cooper Writes 869 Words on
a Postal Card-Who Can Beat It?
Three weeks ago the Big Run 1'ribune
claimed tbat Mrs. 'Squire Reams of
that town was the champion postal card
writer because she had written 350
words on a postal card. We stated two
weeks ago that Mr. Ninian Cooper, of
Reynoldsville,' who is eighty-three
years old, could beat that easy, and Mr,
Cooper has proven that we did not mis
judge his ability to defeat the Big Run
champion. We have In our possession
a postal card on which is written 669
words and each word Is written very
plainly so that any person that can read
writing would have no trouble In read
ing eveiy word on the card, and there
are a number of words with ten and
eleven letters In them. To have some
basis on which to make a fair test in
such a contest Mr. Cooper selected the
102nd and 103rd Psalms. He succeeded
In writing all the 102nd and part of the
103rd on tbe postal card. We claim
this is remarkable work for a man of
bis age and he certainly is the cham
pion postal card writer in this section.
Who can beat? He says he can even do
better than that himself.
Mr. Cooper Is also noted for remem
bering dates and incidents of the misty
past. He is a walking encyclopedia of
Beech woods events. If people want to
know anything about the paBt history
in Beechwoods settlement Mr. Cooper
is interviewed and bo can generally
give the information wanted.
Can't Vote Two Ways.
A misunderstanding apparently ex
ists as to the qualifications of voters at
the spring primary to ho held on April
11th. Many people think that a Dem
ocrat can vote for some Democrats and
some Republicans at that election and
many also think that a Republican can
vote fjr any person for nomination on
tbe Democratic ticket and vice Versa.
Tbe fact tbat the primary election is
held under the law by tbe regular elec
tion board has led to tbis conclusion'.
The names of all tho candidates for
nomination by tbe Democratic party
will be printed on one ballot and 'he
names of all the candidates for nomi
nation by the Republican' parly will be
printed on another ballot. When a
voter enters the polls he will be re
quired to announce which ballot he de
sires to have and the election officers
will furnish blm with a ballot of the
party for which he asks. It will thus
be seen that no voter can vote for some
Republicans and so no Democrats be
cause be can only receive one ballot.
Competent Man.
James S. Cooper, of Brockwayville,
one of tho strong and popular candi
dates for the Republican nomination for
county commissioner, was In town yes
terday looking after bis political Inter
ests: The fact tbat Mr. Cooper made
sucbagoid ebowUg in the campaign
three years ago, but was a little short
of enough votes to give him the nomi
nation, adds to his strength in the cam
paign this year. Mr. Cooper naturally
feels that he Is entitled to tbe consid
eration and support of ibe voters at the
primary election on the 11th Inst. He
is a man of sound judgment, good busi
ness qualificatlor.s and Is In every re
spect a competent and worthy man to
soryo the people of tho county in tbe
capacity of county commissioner.
James B. Caldwell for Treasurer. 4
James B. Caldwell, candidate for

and gave us a friendly call. Mr. Cald

the other candidates for treasurer,

DONT BE MISINFORMED.
To The Republican Voters of Jefferson
County.
By the time this article reaches the
readers most of the voters will know
tbat tbe executive committee of tbe
Anti-Saloon League of Jefferson county
met In Reynoldsville March 23, passed
resolutions and named its candidates
for Senate and Assembly. It is now
rumored tbat I, a candidate for Assem
bly, have dropped out of the list and I
wish to Inform all Republican voters
that I am still in the field and will be
In until tbe finish. No doubt this com
mlttee conscientiously done tbe best
tbey could under existing' clrcum-.
stances. As one I feel I did not get a
fair deal.' Tbe farmers and laboring
class In general prevailed on me to an
nounce as a candidate for Assembly. I
did not come out just to be before the
publlo for a short time to get a little
''boodle" and pull off. When I an
nounced I went in with determination to
make an honest run and win if possible
to execute my declaratlou.
In reference to the question Involved, -
bave always been strictly temperate
and for me to take tbe stand for liquor
Interest or to stand neutral, in my mind,
would be acting the part of a hypocrite.
I was one of tbe first candidates to de
clare my position on the question giv
ing the people the right to say whether
we shall have local option or not, (my
declaration being published before I
knew there would be an open question
before the people to be answered.) In
my mind this question could be answer
ed In a minute. Tbe voters can see my
declaration in nearly all the county pa
pers. Furthermore, I believe In clean
politics and just legislation, and If elect
ed I will serve my constituents honest
ly, faithfully and conscientiously. As
It will be Impossible for me to see every
voter in the county I therefore ask
every reader of this article to consider
my candidacy conscientiously, which I
believe you will do. Thanking you in
advance for your support Bnd influence.
Very Respectfully Yours,

One laBt word. Some of my friends
