VOLUME 17. REYNOLDSVILLE. PENN'A.. WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 11, 1908. NUMBER 26. MYSTERIOUS DISAPPEARANCE OF WILLIAM HARRIS SUNDAY MORNING PUZZLES FRIENDS Drove to Camp Quay, Above Sandy Valley Saturday Night. DESERTED HORSES FOUND NEXT MORNING IN CAVE-IN Searching Parties Organized By Relatives Scour Woods For Three Days Without Finding a Trace of the Man. Between twelve and one o'clock Saturday night Thomas Mitchell and Audley Myers went to E. C. Burns' -livery stable and hired a double team and driver to take them to the Quay Camp In Beechwoods. William Harris went along as driver. Mitchell and jiTyera say that Harris started on the return trip from camp about 2.00 a. m., but be has not yet returned to town and although a search has been made bo trace of Harris has been found. .Jake Boyer, who lives about a mile from Quay Camp, found the team of horses almost burled in an old coal mine near his home about ten o'clock Sunday forenoon. One horse was on top of the other, the harness was al most all torn off the horses and they were badly bruised and skinned. It is doubtful whether one of the horses will recover. When the horses wero found Mr. Boyer sent a boy to Sandy Vnlley and some men went to the old mine and had to work several hours before they got the horses out. The props were taken out to mouth of mine and the roof cut down so the horses could walk out. It was Burns' spirited team of bob-tails. The township road formerly crossed over the old mine near opening, but people had been driving around the mine for sometime, but the road over top of mine bad neyer been closed to the public, and on the return trip the team had started over the old road , and the earth caved in with thf horces. It is hot known whether Harris was in the hack when the team fell into the mine, or whether he got frightened and skipped out when he saw the horses plunging in the deep hole. It Is 'hardly possible that he would runaway . and leave the team in the mine. Har ris' disappearance is a great mystery, Mr. Harris, father of the lost man, who resides at Brockwayvlllo, with others has been searching for his lost son the past two days. He is of the opinion that something serious has happened to his son. Wm. Harris is twenty-eight years old. There was a report here last evening that a man answering to description of Harris was seen going towards Ram- setown yesterday afternoon. Mining Congress. The eleventh annual session of the American Mining Congress will be held at Pittsburgh December 2, 3, 4 and 5, 1908. The main purpose of,the conven tion is to bring out the opinions and "suggestions of all men interested in Inlng upon such matters as need con- deration, in order to arrive at a rem edy for any improper condition. To this end, every member of the conven tion is earnestly requested to Introduce by resolution such matters as be may deem important. County commission ers can appoint two delegates, mayor can appoint two and mining organiza tions two. The name and postofflce ad dress of each delegate appointed should be forwarded to the secretary, J. F. Callbreath, Jr., care Chamber of -Commerce, Pittsburgh, Pa. ,,.( The Virtue of Silence. There is charity that consists in withholding words, in abstaining from speech, if to speak is to condemn. Such charity hears the tales of Blander, but does not repeat it; listens in silence, but forbears comment; theri locks the unpleasant secret up in the very depths of his heart. Silence can still rumor; it la speech that keeps a story alive, and lends It vigor. It is In the Mnd And ffMiti hnAPt that nhnrltv ahMaa " with the peaoefulness of a dove. There it makes lu home, and by the word withheld, and the kindly one out spoken, we have the sign of the dove 4 of peace nestling In the heart For I kind words are like "apples of gold In .pictures of silver." Exchange. -Subscribe for Tei IaB II a yetn Nagging. The Erie Dispatch makes these ob servations on nagging, a habit that does more toward making life miserable for more people than any other in the entire catalogue : "There is nothing so sure to drive happiness from borne, as the habit of nagging. The parent who doeB this makes life miserable for all under the roof. Children, servants, everybody responds vastly better to carefully word ed praise than to constant fault-finding. "Of course, there will always be some short-comings to correct. Our children, not being born angols, it is unfair to expect them to be perfect. "The wise mother tries to say 'do' as often as. possible, Instead of 'don't.' She knows when to be blind and deaf to childish doings, and when to correct, but she will never nag at a child, for that is sure to do more harm than good. "It has been well said: 'A mother is responsible for her child, body and soul.1 Too often people forget that the aver age child, who has plenty of sleep, lots of wholesome play and fresh air, and ample nourishing food will not be troublesome or 'bad.' "Even the salmltest mortal Is not proof against constant nagging, there is nothing so calculated to send children away from the sheltering arms of home, which should be made the dearest, hap piest spot on oarth." CAMELS HARBOR HATRED. Will Wait Until an Opportunity Ar rives For Revenge. , The Arnb who has uugered a camel will throw his clothes upon the ground, and the Infuriated beast after stamping on them and tearing them asunder with its teeth goes on Its way, and the driver Is thereafter quite safe, as it seems to be an axiom with the camel that no man shall be put in peril of life twice for one offense. The camel Is stupid save when an gry and then seems to become almost preternatural In carrying out Its venge ful designs. Palgrave relates the fol lowing story of a camel's revenge, which serves to Illustrate this point: "A lad of fourteen had conducted a large' camel laden with wood from one village to another at a half hour's dis tance. As the animal loitered or turn ed out of the way its conductor struck It repeatedly and harder than It seem ed to have thought be had a right to do; but, not finding the occasion favor able for taking immediate quits, it 'bode its time.' That time was not long In coming. "A few days later the same lad had to reconduct the beast, but unladen, to his own village. When they were about halfway on the road and at some distance from any habitation the camel suddenly stopped, looked delib erately round In every direction to as sure Itself that no one was In sight and, finding the road clear of passers by, made a step forward, seized the unlucky boy's head in its monstrous month and, lifting him up in the air, flung him down again on the earth with the upper part of bis skull com pletely torn off. "Having thus satisfied Its revenge, the brute quietly resumed its pace to ward the village, as though nothing were the matter, till some men who had observed the whole, though unfor tunately at too great a distance to be able to afford timely help, came up and killed It." London Telegraph. Why He Drowned. Describing the stringent police reg ulations of Berlin, a citizen of that city by way of illustration told the following story: "Schmidt and Krauss met one morn ing In the park. "'Have you heard,' says Schmidt, the sad news about Muller7 " 'No, soys Krauss. "What is It ? "Well, poor Muller went boating on the river yesterday. .The boat cap sized, and he was drowned. The wa ter was ten feet deep.' " 'But couldn't he swim 7 "Swim? Don't yon know that all persons are strictly forbidden by the police to swim in the river.' "Phila delphia Record. Not Mentioned by Herodotus. Xerxes was meditating upon his good luck In having been made king by his royal father in preference to the eldest son.

Bell Net?, who used the Impressive ring service of the Methodist Episcopal church. Following the ceremony, a wedding supper was served. The bride's table was attractively decorated in smllax, pink rlbbonB and pink roses. In the neighborhood of seventy guests were present and the event was one for the giving of hearty con gratulations and the exchange of so ciability until the northbound B , R. & P. flyer left bearing the newly wed ded couple away for a trip to Syracuse, New York, Philadelphia and other eastern cities. There was a fine array of presents, expressions of the high esteem in which the young people are held. Mr. Allen has been a resident of DuBois for several years, being employed at the Corbett oompany store. He is a young man of great promise and un doubted ability.

Friday night's the night! At last an opportunity will be given to see the much talked of Eurc-ean and New York success "The Devil" (Der Teu fel). There is hardly any doubt but that the Jefferson Theatre at Punxsu tawney Friday evening, Nov. 13, will be crowded to its utmost capacity, judg ing from the enormous advance sale of seats. By special arrangement with Henry W. Savage, Mr. Alfred E. Aarons Is enabled to present to the theatregoers of Punxsutawney the version that created such ft furore at the Garden Theatre, New York. It is without a precedent that one play can be presented simultaneously at two New York Theatres, but "The Devil" has succeeded in accomplishing this stupenduous feat, and to capacity houses at that.

The game was very interesting during the first half and open football was used by our boys. The game started by Big Run kicking to Reynoldsville. Heck mam got the ball on the 20-yard line and went to Big Run's 45-yard line. Then our quarter-back, Nolan, called a delayed pass and carried about 15 yards. Boh ren got the ball on a criss-cross and with Nolan's interference made a touch down. After two minutes' play Burns kicked goal. After the touchdown the ball was kept about the middle of the field. The first half ended with the score 0-0 In favor of R. H. S. In the second half Reynoldsville kicked to Big Run. Reynoldsville held them for downs and Big Run kicked. Heckman recovered the ball and was downed after running about twenty yards. Then Nolan, trying another fake play, called Bohren for a fake kick, who went around the end for about 40 yards. For various reasons the game was not fin ished, the score remaining 6-0 In favor of Reynoldsville. Line-up of R. H.

The news of tbe death of L. P. Seeley of Pittsburgh, who died suddenly at 5.00 p. m. yesterday, November 10, 1!)08, In Pittsburgh, was a great Bhock to his relatives and friends in Reynbldsville.

He had been ill several weeks ago with rheumatism In left shoulder and side, but had recovered sufficiently to look after bis business again. Tbe older citizens of : Reynoldsville and vicinity were well acquainted with Mr. Seeley, as he had been engaged In tbe mercantile business in this place about twenty years. Leonard P.

Gordon become partners in the mercantile business on Eaet Main street, which partnership continued several years and then they dissolved. Mr. Seeley opened a store In a frame building down town which was destroy ed In the big Ore In 1875. After that fire he erected the brick building now occupied by W..H. Bell and Adam Shoo Co., and with an archway between the two rooms Mr. Seeiey had one of the largest stores In the county at that time. ' Mr. Seeley was a member of the Seeley, Alexander & Co. bank, which did business In our town for a number of years and was converted into Tbe Peoples National bank almost four years ago. Mr. Seeley was a director and large stockholder in this bank at time of death. About nineteen years ago Mr. Seeley moved to Pittsburgh and opened a hat store under tbe firm name of Seeley & Leard.
