GLASS MANUFACTURING
Culburn Machine Can Be Op
erated at Remarkably 1
I ow Cost.
INTERESTING COMPARISONS.
Perhaps many of our citizens are not
aware of the fact that the Col burn
glass manufacturing machine, with
which the Star Glass Company plant
at ReynoldsviHe is being equipped, is
tho cheapest and moat economical glass
manufacturing machine that Is made
today, and those who have seen
the machine work are sanguine that
It will be a complete success, and fill
enable the Star Glass Company to
manufacture good glass at less ex
pense than any of its competitors,
which will mean that the plant will
run about forty-five weeks each year,
make big dividends for the stock
holders, and being an important In
dustry in our town. A comparison of
the cost of operating the Colburn
machine with the cost of operating
American Window Glass Cylinder ma
chines, and cost of producing the same
amount of glass by blowers at present
scale of wages, shows a big saving of
expenses in the production of glass by
Colburn machine. Here 1b a com
parison of cost of producing glass:
Double Btrength glass, per box 60
square feet, Colburn 10 cents, American
machine 60 cents, blowers 80 cents.
Single strength porportlonatoly as
cheap. This shows that the Colburn
machine will produce a 50 sq. ft. box
of double Btrength glass 40 cents
cheaper than the American machine
and 70 per box cheaper than with
blowers, the old system under which
the glass plant here was formerly oper-
ated. Quite a saving on the cost of
production.
The normal consumption of window
glass in the United States yearly, in
cluding importation, is about 8,000,000
boxes, 60 sq. ft. each, and It is claimed
that one Colburn machine will produce,
operating forty-five weeks In a year,
approximately 100,000 boxes, so that
eighty machines would make all the
glass the country demands.
The plant will not employ as many
men under the new system as' it did
under the old system, with glass blow
ers, but it will run almost'contlnuously
and in the year will give average em
ployment to about same number as the
the plant did under the old system
runtaing six or seven months each year,
will put about eamo amount of money
. in circulation as it did before, and will
leave a snug dividend for the stock
holders. Smith's Private
Water System
Sykesvifle Boniface Equips his
Place with Complete Water
Service.
R. T. Smith, proprietor of Hotel
Smith, has just oompleted a fine new
water well, located on the hill near
George Buhlte's. The new well is an
eight-inch hole sunk into the solid rock
and has filled up with sparkling aqua
to the depth of 38 feet. As soon as the
pipe can be laid this well will be con
nected with Mr. Smith's private water
system and will give him an abundance
of pure water at all times. He is also
figuring on ereotlng one or more large
tanks on the roof of his hotel and by

Does Not Apply
To Non-residents
Judge John W. Reed Gives A
Decision Concerning Poll
Tax Assessment.
In 1905 a law was passed providing
that in addition to tho mllluge tax In
townships or boroughs that 81.00 be
assessed to evi;ry resident taxable, and
this assessment is In the nature of a
poll tax. J. M. Norris, who resides
in Winslow township, and pays the
additional dollar In that township,
owns property in Henderson township
and the assessor in Henderson township
added the $1 00 to Mr. Norris' taxes
in that township, and Mr. Norris paid
the $1 00 a couple of times under pro
test, but last year the case was taken
to the county court and Judge John
W. Reed gave the following decision
in tbe case, which may be of Interest
to assessors and taxpayers In other
townships :
"Every taxable against whom the
sum of $1 00, in addition to the milloge
tax, shall be assessed as provided in
Section 2 of the Act of April 12th, 1905,
P. L. 142, means every resident tax
able. This $1 00 assessment is in the
nature of a poll t lx and cannol be made
against a non-resident of the township
who may be the owner of real estate
therein. This has baen repeatedly de
cided and needs no further elaborations
by me. See Indendence Township
V Dods C. C. R. 461. In accordance
with the case stated judgment is there
fore entered for the defendant with
costs."
Sixteen Thousand
Patches in Quilt
Punxsutawney Lady Spends
Many Years Working On
The Article.
Henry Moser, of this place, recently
read in a local newspaper an account
of a ReynoldsviHe woman who had com
pleted work on a bed quilt that was
made up of 3,042 pieces or patches.
The writer of tbe article intimated
that the object he was describing was
a perfect "phenom" in-its line, and that
It would probably capture the first
prize at any quilt show or county fair
In the country.
Mr. Moser believes that he has a
quilt that would put tbe bug all oyer
the ReynoldsviHe dry goods in any
kind df a contest. It is made of 128
rows of patches, and 128 patches in
each row, a total of 16,304 patches, and
over five times the number of patches
in the ReynoldsviHe bed decoration.
Mrs. Moser, who made the quilt
began work on it when she was a
young girl, and the quilt was not com
pleted until several l years after her
marriage to Mr. Moser. The quilt has
been exhibited at several fairs, in
cluding those held at Punxsutawney
and Dayton, and it has never failed to
draw down the blue ribbon.
- Mrs. Moser has had some tempting
offers for her quilt, but she has declined
all of tbem with thanks. Punxsu

Life 100,000 Years Ago.
Scientists have found in a cave In
Switzerland bones of . men who lived
100,000 years ago, when life was in con
stant danger from wild beasts. To-day,
the danger, as shown by A. W. Brown,
of Alexander, Me., is largely from dead
ly disease. "If it had not been for Dr.
King's New Discovery, which cured
me, I could not have lived," he writes,
"suffering as I did from a severe lung
trouble and stubborn cough." To cure
sore lungs, oolds, obstinate coughs, and
prevent pneumonia, its the best med
lolne on earth. 60o and 11.00. Guaran

Candidate for District Attorney.
Smith M. McCreight, one of our
legal lights, who Is pretty well known
among the Republicans of Jefferson '
county, has decided to be a candidate
for the nomination for District At
torney at the primary election in June.
Smith is well qualified for the office,
is a good fellow, has a bint of friends
and will be u strong candidate. Tbe
district attorneyship "bee" has been
buzzing under Smith's bat for some
time, but it did not get loose until
recently, and now Mr. McCreight will
enter the political arena with his
sleeves rolled up, figuratively speak

the nomination and election if possible.

Reed for Supreme Bench.
Last week's Brookville Republican
! contained a strong endorsement of
j Judge John W. Reed, of this county,
as a Droner man to succeed Justice
James T. Mitchell on the Supreme
bench ol ' Pennsylvania. Judge Reed's
ability as a lawyer, and his long ex
perience and honorable career as a
judge, eminently qualify him for pro
motion to the highest legal tribunal of
the state. The Republican says:
"In bis judi "apaclty Judge Reed
has been Idea.. Cool, calm and dis
passionate, he has at all times pre
served the best traditions of the bench
and bar, bringing to tbe solving of tbe
problems which have confronted him
an analytical mind, a rare knowledge
of the law, and above all a thorough
justice which has known neither
friend nor foe in his judical deter
minations.' "His ability is not alone a matter
of comment in his home district, but
be bus been called to serve in a special
capacity upon the bench of many of
tbe counties of the Btate, and where
ever he has appeared he has been pro
nounced one of the ablest, most prompt
and thoroughly competent judges of
the state. In thirteen years of active
experience upon the bench he has
made a most enviable record In the
matter of affirmations by tbe Superior
and Supreme Courts of the state, bis

ARNOLDS ARE ITS PROMOTERS
Last Monday night tbe council passed
an ordinance granting to the Clarion
and East Brady Electric Railway Com
pany a franchise covering tbe streets
of this borough for the use of that com
pany. Tbe ordinance is so made that
the compaLy must have their charter
and to have started tbe work within
two years and have cars in operation
within six years. Tbe parties asking
for the franchise are G. E. Arnold, F.
M. Arnold and T. S. Arnold, all of this
place. The line proposed is from this
place to East Brady, via Sllgo and
Rimersburg, a distance of 25 miles.
At East Brady tbey will connect with
the, line being built from Butler to that
plane. ' At Butler they will connect
with the line to Pittsburgh. This will
give us a connection with Pittsburgh
in 80 miles. We understand that the
gentlemen have ample financial assist
ance to make the road a success. The
road will cost about $300,000. Of this
(2.C00 for every mile of proposed road
and ten per cent of the capital stock
must be paid in before tbe charter Is
granted. It would be wise for the
townships and boroughs through which
they will pass to aid this project as it
will mean much to each community.
