MOVEMENT STARTED TO
ESTABLISH READING ROOM
Young Men of Reynoldsvifle
Have Rented a Room for
Qub Purposes.
NEED SUPPORT AND MEMBERS
The past week a movement started In
town that, with a little encouragement
f rorn the oltlzens, may become a power
ful and beneflolent factor in the future
social life of Reynoldavllle bo far as it
affects the young people of town.
Twenty-five or thirty young men,
feeling the need of a place where tbey
could spend their evenings away from
the influences of the street and hotel,
banded themselves together for the
f purpose of establishing a reading and
club room, and have opened temporary
quarters in the vacant rooms over F. E.
Rodgers' cigar store.' One room has
already been comfortably furnished and
it will require but little money to equip
a suite of rooms adjoining. The move
ment was spontaneous among the young
ment is absolutely undenominational
and has no other purpose than affording
to the members and young people of
town access to literature books, maga
zines and newspapers that probably
I none, singly, could secure. Later, if a
I larger membership is secured,' and a
I desire manifested, a room may be fitted
(up for athletics and physical culture,
1 but for the present the aim Is purely
Intellectual. There has been no formal
f organization of the association and no
permanent officers elected, but the
young men who have taken the lead in
the matter urgently solicit all who are
interested In seeing a reacting room es
tablished to join them. Any person
over eighteen years of age desiring to
become a member should hand their
name or application to any one of the
present members. The admittance fee
is only 91 00, with small monthly dues.
The need of a reading room in .Reyn
oldsvllle is Indisputable. Once before
an attempt was made to maintain one,
but the movement did not originate
with the younger element and never
had the hearty support of those for
i whom it was intended. This movement
originated right among the young men
(-themselves and tbey have shown their
earnestness by going ahead along their
own lines as far as their resources al
lowed. It is the broadest, most unsel
fish and useful movement of the year in
Reynoldavllle and not- only deserves,
but commands the prompt and liberal
co-operation of every person in town,,
who wishes to see established a place
where young men, and older ones too,
tnay Bpend their evenings tin comfort
away from the questionable associations
of the street, the hotel and pool rooms.
Contributions will be welcomed, as well
.as new members and the success of the
project depends largely on the interest
shown by the people.
"Strongheart" at Punxsutawney.
When Robert Gaillard appears in
Jefferson Theatre, Punxsutawney, as
the star of "Strongheart" Thursday,
October 29, playgoers will see a comedy
drama of Amerioan college life that
has no equal on the Amerioan stage.
This has been proven bv the ereat hold
the play obtained on popular interest
iwben it was first produced three years
.ago and its subsequent success. The
idea upon which "Strongheart" was
founded is absolutely original, and in
making an Apache Indian a college
graduate and in every way the equal
of his fair-skinned associates, Mr. Wm.
)c. DeMille, created a play which is
designed to live In public regard for
fenany years. Henry B. Harris hrs
fitted his star with a splendid company
nd furnished a handsome and thorough
scenlo production. Seats on sale at
National hotel Reynoldavllle. Special
eturn cars after performance.
Railroad Rumors.
Among the railroad rumors that
ave reached this office are two that
( might be Interesting to Punxsutawney
people. One, which is given as quite
authentic, is that the P. & N. W.
Division of the Pennsylvania railroad
will be extended from Punxsutawney
to Kittannlng to oonnect with the
Allegheny Valley railroad. Another
Jb that a branoh line will be run
with the P. R. R. at that place.

ALEX. D. DEEMER
CANDIDATE FOR ASSEMBLY.
A. D. Deemer is Well Known in Jefferson
County A Substantial Citizen.
Alex D. Deemer was born in Wlnslow
township, Jefferson county, on Decem
ber 24tb, 1848, when the county was
new, and the old citizens were just
beginning to clear up their farms.
When quite a young man he went into
a blacksmith shop, serving there a
regular apprenticeship. After learning
his trade he worked at blacksmlthing
for fifteen years. He then engaged in
the lumber butlness, working for six
teen years at manufacturing and deal
ing in lumber, employing 'quite a num
ber of men. In 1806 he embarked in
the manufacture and sale of furniture,
and to-day has a large furniture factory
in Brookville, employing from 05 to
75 men. His life has been a very
active one, and tor nearly thirty years
he has been an employer of men,
having from 25 to 75 men in his employ
constantly. This meant giving employ
ment and sustenance to many families.
He is now a candidate for Assembly,
having been nominated by the Demo
cratic and Prohibition parties. He Is
fully qualified for the position of repre
sentative, and II elected will Berve the
people of the county honestly, intelli
gently and faithfully. He is well ac
quainted with' the needs of our county
and people, and will do bis best to
serve them. . All the candidates for
Assembly are pledged in favor of local
option. Mr. Deemer favors a local
option law that will allow the people
to vote on the question by counties.
He does not think it would be wise
to' have the vote taken by townships
and boroughs.

- An Appeal for "The Bread Line." 3
ftTbe Bowery Mission "Bread Line,"
at-wblch f,000 men who are out in the
streets for the night are given a break
fast of hot coffee and rolls every morn
ing atone o'clock, is one of the most
pathetic Bights in all the wide, wide
world. Long before the hour of open
ing, these poor, starving men Btand In
a single line that sometimes extends for
blocks in length, waiting for the coffee
and rolls. During the winter this
breakfast is given to an aggregate of
210,000 homeless men and boys, and up
to date over half a million of the home
less have had their weary tramp rest
fully Interrupted by this unique minis
tration. The first of these breakfasts
is given on Thanksgiving morning, and
the last on the following Easter morn
ing. Altogether the Mission supplied
this year over 312,000 meals and 57,072
lodgings to homeless men and boys.
It is for this grand, philanthropic
work that we ask your Kind and practi
cal co-operation. The homeless, frlend
lesB, disheartened and despairing men
and boys of the Bowery are not native
New Yorkers, but men and boyi who,
until within a- year, lived happily at
the old homestead with father and
mother, and perhaps wife. Tbey are
stranded here and In despair appeal to
the Old Bowery Mission, which, for
over thirty years, has been to the un
fortunate as the resoue cities of old, a
haven of encouragement, rest and pro
tection. Shall we turn them away? It
rests with the good people of this coun
try to decide this question,' and may
God graciously help you to decide it
aright. John C. Earl, Financial Sec
