MORE STATE ROAD NEEDED. Are the Proper Authorities Making the Demands As Persistently As They Should? We need more paved roads in and around Reynoldsville and on account of so many demands for public highways from various parts of the state the Highway Department does not have sufficient cash on hand to build all 'he roads In one year, therefore it is sup posed to be divided in various sections, but It has been oir observation that some sections of the Btate get more paved roads than others, and we think the reason for this is because persistent claims from those sections are on file In the State Highway Department at Harrishurg. Because the stats paid a portion of the paving between Reyn oldsville ano the Clearfield county line last year Is no reason why the Highway Department should not pay part for much more needed pavin? on some other publio roads that run out from Reynoldsville. Don't hesitate to ask, and then press the matter. Don't be satisfied with one paved road, ENACT SPITTING ORDINANCE. Expectorating on the Sidewalk is a Filthy Habit Other Towns Prohibit N by Ordinance. Our borough' "dads" should enact an Od nance that, will prohibit spitting on the sidewalks within the borough limits. Such laws are being success fully enforced in other 'towns and could be enforced In Reynoldsville. From the Ridgway Advocate of last week we dip the following: "The new signs, warning persons to comply wltb the borough ordinance In regard to expectorating on the side walks, which were ordered by the sec retary of thn council, according to direction, havi arrived. They will soon be placed conspicuously in 'be main business streets, and, there being fifteen in all, they should afford ample notice. The signs are attractively made. As soon as they have been placed the police will begin to enforce very vigorously the ordinance against spitting, so it behooves ah mere men to keep the fact topmost in their con science ween striding the streets."

"The Jefferson County Fair," the home talent play given in the Reyn olds opera house on Thursday and Fri day nights of last week, under the auspices of the Women's Relief Corps, was one of the most amusing and enjoyable entertainments given In Reynoldsville in many-aday. For an amateur performance it was excellent. We don't have space to give each one of the performers special mention, but they all did excellent. The dialogue parts of the play were all on the comedy order and with the makeup characteristic to a back number county fair the scene itself was one of Interest and amusement. The songs and choruses were all of the latest catchy, rollicking spirited order, sucb as the up to-datb American audience is fond of. The "County Fair" was well patronized.. Two Punxs'yites in Lock-Up Monday Jack McEwen and W. J. Brennan, who claim Punxsutawney as their home town, came to Reynoldsville to have a "good time" and are now in the borough bastile. They went to a house on "Poverty Flat" Monday night and when refused admission proceeded to batter the doors with an ax. They also tried to geHnto a bouse oo Main street and were arrested by the police and given lodging in the lock-up. Yesterday morning they were taken before Mayor Willams charged with disorderly conduct for their action at the house in the borough. .The Mayor imposed a fine of $5 00 and as they did not have required amount of "coin of the realm" to meet the Mayor's sentence they are to spend 48 hours In the borough bsstlle. Before the pair got away from the Mayor's offloe a constable came in and arrested them on charge of malicious mischief for pounding the doors on "Poverty Flat" residence with an ax.

If they fail to furnish ball before their lock-up sentence expires tney will be taken to the county jail.'. ' Waists. ' " Immense line to select from. 60o ti4 00. GltiLE3?IES. . CALEB POWERS PLEASED AUDIENCE LAST NIGHT The Young Kentuckian Recounts His Wrongs and Long Fight For Vindication. Slender and pallid, wltb an appear ance almost boyish, Caleb JPowers, the noted Kentuckian who lectured In As sembly hall last night, does not at first sight Impress one as a man of strong personality, the central figure of a tragedy which held the attention of millions for eight long years. Looking at the haggard eye, one questions if it can belong to the same man who once electrified Kentucky by his elo quence. It is only when Powers com mences the narrative of his life and of the incidents which led to the deplor able shooting of William Goebel, the Democratic candidate Jor the govern orship, that the old-time fire re-enters the eye and the pale face flushes with the memories of a popular victory hon estly gained. Elected secretary of state and with an untainted character and high ambition, Caleb Powers had rea son to bolteve himself on the threshold of a brilliant and honored public career. In that hour rant? out the shot which laid William Goebel low and furnished the basis of a charge which placed the prison bars across the path of Powers. The recitul qf these events is highly dramatic end when the lecturer tells of the weary waiting and larcial trials, of his treatment and the denial of justice, one comes to understand the listless air and look of patient resignation in the eye. While pardoned apr eight years, Powers was denied a oloar' vin dication of his innocence. Caleb Powers Is a man of education and refinement, and linked with the narrative of his wrongs was a warning to the people couched in truly eloquent language, of what must inevitably re sult if the voters ignore ' reason and prostitute the ballot to the vile pur poses of purely partisan politics. The lecture was as Interesting as the man himself and well repaid the aud ience. Attended Funeral of E. A Bigler. Dr. W. B. Alexander was In Clear fluid last Wednesday attending the funeral of his cousin, Hon. Edmund A. Bigler, who died at bis home on Second street, Clearfield, Monday, bb the re sult of an illness of 12 years' duration. The Clearfield Public Spirit says: "In spite of his affliction Mr. Bigler was ever of a cheerful disposition and bore bis sufferings with true christian fortitude, - Mr. Bigler was a brainy, able and successful business man when in health and was a most representative citizen of our town and oounty. Though quiet and reserved In his manner, be was possessed of a genial personality and made friends of all who knew him. His death will be sincerely mourned by a large circle of true friends. Edmund A. Bigler was the fourth son of the late ex-Governor Bigler. and bad always raided in Clearfield." Its A Top Notch Doer. Great deeds compel regard. The world crowns its doers.

Miss Mjry Rodebiugh Died in a Phila delphia Hospitul Body Buried t Here Monday. Miss Mary Rodubaugh, second daugh ter oF E. D. Iiodebaugh, decreed, died in the Western Philadelphia Hospital at 4 30 p. m. Thursday, April 15. 1909. from tuberculosis. The b.idy was Bhipped to Reynoldsville by express and was expected here on the 10.25 a. m. train Sunday, but as that train does not carry express the body laid at Drlitwood until Monday morning, arriving here on the 8.08 train. Inter ment was made immediately in the Reynoldsville cemetery beside the father and mother of Mary. Rev. A. D. McKay conduoted the service at the cemetery. - .

Mary Is survived by four slaters, Alice and Sophia In Clearfield and Emma and Carrie in Philadelphia. The last two named are in a Presbyterian school In Philadelphia. Alice and Sophia came to Reynoldsville to attend the funeral of their sister. Needs Attention Badly. We ere a little surprised that the Pennsylvania Railroad Company does not provide toilet, rooms at the pas senger station in Reynoldsville. They could be put In at small expense, and they are certainly badly needed. No wonder tnat frequently . men waiting for trains become indignant because there are no closets In or near the sta tion. , There is a dingy toilet room for ladies that is kept under lock and key as carefully as If it was something re spectable, and a ludy can get into the room by asking the agent for the key. We venture the assertion that there are f6W, if any, other stations along the Low Grade Division where there are more tickets sold than there are In Reynolds yllle, and y.tt the Pennsylvania Rail road Company acts as if "anything Is good enough for the people or Reyn oldsvlllo." There is a possibility that it the health officers were to carefully inspect the ladles' toilet room at he P. R. R. station that it would be condemned and that the company would have to re move it.
