PUNXSUTAWNEY AND
SEVERAL VALUABLE NEW INDUSTRIES
In Both Places it was Home Cap
ital Liberally Subscribed that
Secured the Plants.
PUNXS'Y GAINS 2,000 PEOPLE
The citizens of runxautawney tire
rejoicing, and they have good reason
to, over the (act that by subscribing
for ttfO.OOO of stock that town Is to
have three now, Industries that will
give employment to hundreds of men,
increaso the annual pay roll from
225,000 to 1250,000 and will increase
the population of Punxsutawney at
least 2,000 within the next year. It
was through the untiring efforts of the
Chamber of Commerce that our neigh
boring town succeeded In securing these
new Industries. The Spirit says:
"Fuel, shipping facilities and raw
material the drawing card that brought
them."
We have the fuel, shipping facilities,
raw material, fine Bites, &c, have
enterprising citizons and if everybody
would fall in line and work harmonious
ly with the Busluess Men's Association
there is no reason why Reynoldsviile
could not and should not secure one
or two large Industries before the snow
flies. True, there seems to be a stag
nation in business and money is not
circulating freely, yet buslnoss Is cer
tainly improving and we should get
in tne procession, two inausirios
started at DuBois last week and at
various other places Industries are
being started. There is no doubt but
that our Bilk mill will be in operation
within a few weeks, and with a little
effort it is possible to get the steel
plant la operation this year. There
never was a time in the history of
Reynoldsviile when there was as much
cash on deposit in our banks as, there
is to-day, and that is one of the reasons
that money is Bcarce. What is true
of Reynoldsviile of bunk deposits is
true of most every otnur town in tne
country.
As stated above, we have an abund
ance of fuel, raw material, excellent
sites, good railroad facilities, in many
respects have better advantages to
offer industries than any other town
in this section, and if we do not grow
and prosper as we should It is our fault
and not becauso we do not have good
inducements to offer industries. Action
by the business men in genoral, is what
we lack. A few hustlers cannot do
the work alone.
Something About Boys.
Alien? le a UUUilUt I IrU O uujr 1U IUO
amount of work he can get rid of doing.
It is sometimes astonishing how slow he
S. . . 1 u
fnt - t. - r t t - 1 l ,uA
can CO on an errana; pernaps ne eouiu-
n't explain to himself why, when he
is annt to the neighbor's for veast. he
stops to stone frogs. He is not exactly
cruel, but he wants to see if he can't
hjt 'em. It is a curious fact about boys,
that two will be great deal slower
about doing anything than one. Boys
have a power of helping each other
do nothing. But say what you will
about the general usefulness of boys,
a farm without a boy would soon come
to grief. He is always In demand. 'In
the first place be is to do all the er
rands, go to the store, postofftce and
scarry all sotts of messages. He would
pike to have as many legs as a wheel
Tias spokes, and rotate in the same
way. This he sometimes tries to do,
and people who have scon him "turn
ing cart wheels" along the side of the
road have supposed he was amusing
himself and biding his time. He was
-only trying to invent a new mode of
locomotion, so he could economize bis
legs, and do all his errands with great
er dispatch. Leap frog is one of the
methods for getting over the ground
quickly. He has a natural genius for
combining pleasure with business.
The Beat Pills Ever Sold.
"After doctoring 15 years for chronio
indigestion, and spending over two hun
dred dollars, nothing has done me as
-much good as Or. King's New Life

ver told," writes B. F. Ayscue, of

DUBOIS SECURE
KNOCKED UNCONSCIOUS
WHILE RIDING ON CAR
Wm. Evans Stuck Head Out of Trolley
Car Window and Had a Narrow
Escape.
William Evans, of Cienabaw, was
coming into Reynoldavllle on theSykes
ville trolley line Saturday night from
Soldier and when tbo car was running
at high speed he stuck li is bead out of
window and his forehead collided with
a trolley polo. His head was knocked
back against the window frame with
sufficient force to cut a three inch gash
in back of bis head and spatter blood
over some other passengers in the car.
Mr. Evans was unconscious for a few
minutes. He was brought to Reynolds
viile and taken to Dr. Bowser's office.
Beside the gush on back of head the
man's forehead was in a badly contused
condition. Mr. Evans had a narrow
escape from Instant death. It is. not
likely that he will stick his head out of
trolley car windows toon again while
travelling.
Notices are posted on trolley cars
warning people not to stick their heads
or arms out of windows, but the warn
ing is not heeded by a largo number of
people who travel and the wonder is
that there are not more people Injured.

New Ritual For Odd Fellows.
John McMurray, of Brookville, has
issued the following announcement,
which will be of interest to all mem
bers of the I. O. O. F. :
During the present month new ritu
als for all subordinate lodges under the
jurisdiction of the Soverelga Grand
Lodge will be distributed by the
various grand secretaries In their re
spective jurisdictions.
The extent of this work will be ap
preciated when it is known that all
told there will be some 50,000 rituals
to distribute in this manner. The new
rituals are much larger and more com
plete in every way than those now
in use, are spoken of as being very
fine by Odd Fellows who have seen
them.
There are numerous changes in the
opening and closing of the lodges and
also affecting the degree work. Some
of the degree work will be, it Is stated,
made decidedly more impressive than
at present. The new rituals develop
the work more comprehensively than
the old ones, giving explicit di
rections in regard to the manner in
which certain parts of the work Is
to be carried through. This attention
to detail will have the effect of im
proving the manner in which the de
gree teams perform their duties.

Police Nab Couple
of Slick Shoplifters
in the Local Stores
Visited Three Places During Noon
Hour and Almost Escaped
With their Plunder.
LODGED IN COUNTY JAIL.
Butween 11.30 and 12.30 Monday,
when most of the clerks were at dinner,
only one or two in each store, two
Italian women from Wishaw were busy
fehopllfling In the stores of GUlesples,
Shlck & Wagner and Blng-Stoke Co.,
and they stole about $0 00 worth of
goods from each store. Each woman
wore a shawl over ber head and carried
a basket on ber arm. The . two
thieves visited GUlesples store first,
then Sblck & Wagner's and it was
at Blng-Stoke Co.'s where they were
detected and arrested. One of the
clerks at the latter place suspected
the women and juBt before they left
the Btoro Goo. W. Stoke, one of the
proprietors, returned from dinner and
the oloik told him of his suspicion.
Before they started out Mr. Sloko,
accldently, on purpose, rubbed up uluso
enough to ono of the women to brush
ber shawl off and the women had a
pair of shoes urjder each arm. The
other woman had nue pair of shoes
under one arm. They were anxious
to pay for the shoes, but Policemen
Adelsporger was called and be arrested
them. When their baskets were ex
amined the stolen goods from the otbor
stores were found. The women
were put in the lock-up and the pro
prietors of the three stores Identified
their goods under oath and made in
formation against the women before
'Squire NefT.
When brought into rile 'Squire's
olllce the women gave their names
as Mrs. Maria Pasavante and Mrs.
Gunsepplna Plago, of Florence, apd
said their husbands had gone back to
the old country fifteen days ago. It
was discovered that the women would
lio as well as steal, as they did not
give thoir correct names, they reside at
Wishaw Instead of Florence and their
husbands were bnh working at
Wishaw mlneB Monday. '
The shoplifters waived a hearing and
being unable to give bail they were
taken to the county jail Monday even
ing by Constable W. W. Illgglns.
One of the .woruea Is the mother
of five children and the other the
mother of one child. It seemed' hard
to send them to jail, but there is en
tirely to much shoplifting being done
and the only way to stop it is to punish
the guilty persons. There are others,
beside Italian women, and they will
be caught some of these days and will
be taken under the strong arm of law.
Produce the Evidence.
Some porson sent J. J. Sutter,
general agent Of the Central Land
& Mining Co., an anonymous letter
last week concerning a family of ill
repute who resided In a houBe above
Sandy Valley that Is owned by the
C. L. & M. Co. The writer of the
letter said: "If you don't get them
out we will see If there is not some
way to make you do It." If the
author of the epistle will be manly
enough to give Mr. Sutter his name
and will produce evidence to subatan
Itlate the statements made in the
letter, the family will be ousted. It
U up to the writer of the letter to
produce the evidence.

ATTEND SUNDAY SCHOOL CONVENTION
FREE AID OFFERED TO
CONSUMPTIVE PERSONS
State Department of Health Solicits Aid
of Ladies' Organizations in Its F ght
Against Tuberculosis.
The Department of Health of the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania Is de
sirous of obtaining the co-operation of
the members of the ladles' organizations
of the churches io Its ' fight against
tuberculosis of the lungs, usually known
as consumption. It Is now establishing
In each county in the state a dispensary
for tbo treutmeut of Indigent persons
suffering from thia disease, a disease
which Is responsible for the deaths of' a
larger number of our people than any
other. In JefTerson county the dispen
sary la located at Punxsutawney and
the County Medical Inspector who has
charge of it Is Dr. John Grube.
Any persons who suspect that their
lungs are becoming affected and whose
means do nut permit them to go to a
private sanatorium or expert can, on
applying at the dispensary on the ad
vertised days, obtain a reliable opinion
as to whetner or not they have the
disease In its early stage. If they prove
to need the special care here given they

cases where It suoms desirable and prac
ticable they will be turntshed the milk
and eggs which should constitute the"
greater part of their food, free of ex
pense. Medicines, if needed, will also
be furnished free.
Patients will, of course, be treated in
any stage of the disease, but so far as
the work of these dispensaries is to be
curative, it is a mattor of the utmost
importance that cases should be seen as
early as possible. It is here especially
that the knowledge which members of
these ladies' organizations possess of
those needing aid can be of the greatest
possible assistance. The patients them
selves will bo missionaries and educa
tors io their own family and circle of
acquaintances, disseminating the know
ledge of tbo precautions which are ab
solutely essential for tbo protection of
those around them from acquiring the

COUNTY OFFICERS ELECTED
The eighteenth Annual County Con
vention of Sunday School wor kers was
held in Reynoldsviile Juhh I) and 10,
1908.
The Monday evening preceding con
vention proper, a lecture was given by
Dr. C. W. Miner, of Punxsutawney.
Subject, "Mind Your Own Business."
It was very entertaining and practical
and brought out the facts tbat there
were two classes of people who could
not mind their own business: Those
who haven't any minds and those who
haven't any business.
The convention ooted the progress
made along many lines over that of
previous years.
Tuesday morning the convention
proper was opened in Baptist church
with devotional exercises conducted by
Rev. J. W. Mvera. A vnrv norrllal
welcome was extended to all by Rev. A.
J. Meek, which was responded to -by
Thomas V. Hendricks, uf Brookville. ,
The last spoaker on the program for ,
Tuesday forenoon was Prof. J. A. Spren
kel, who talked on the subject, "The
Sunday School Its Aim." He Bald In
his opinion thia was the biggest subject
In relation to S. S. work. Some of the
definitions of the Sunday school which
he has been able to ascertain will cover
the subject and are as follows:
The assembly of the church searching
the scriptures.
The divinely ordained agency of
church leaching.
To teach religious truth chiefly
througn the bible for formation and
development of character.
To establish right relation between
the soul and Jesus Christ.
'Every session of convention was well
attended and toplosof much importance
to Sunday school work and workers well
discussed.
Some of the subjects were: ''Sugges
tions on Primary Work," "Use and
Abuae of Lesson Helps," "Ear Marks
of an Up-to-Date Sunday School," "Cra
dle Roll," and some very excellent
truths were brought out in a general
discussion conducted by Mr. Landes.
Mr. Landes, the state secretary of Sun
day school work, was present at two
sessions and endeavored to Interest his
hearers to such an extent tbat they
would try to raise the county associa
tion standard.
On Tuesday evening "The Boy Prob
lem" was presented in an able manner
by Prof. Sprenkel.
. Wednesday evening we listened to a
lecture given by Dr. Chas. L. E. Cart
wright on the subject: "Forces that
Develop," which was full of wit and
wisdom and could net fail In inspiring
those who heard it to better and nobler
lives.
Other speakers werep-Mlss Clare Mo
Cracken, Revs. George H. Hill, J. H.
Jelbart, Mr. M. C. Kelly and Mrs. Jos,
Allshouae.
