Seventeen Years Old.
Seventeen years ago The STARwaa
launched on the sea of journalism by
the present editor and publisher and
with this issue the paper enters its
eighteenth year. During the past years
we have labored to make The Star
an interesting local paper, giving all
the news of the community every week,
and we expect to continue giving all
the news of interest each week. Of
course we haye (ailed to please all our
subscribers all the time. People have
gotten mad because we published mat'
tors that they were interested in, and
other people have gotten road and
threatened to boycott The Star, be
cause we did not publish some "sweet
morsel of gossip" that bit other people
Therefore, it is utterly Impossible to
publish a newspaper tn please all the
citizens of a cnrntuutiiiv. and it will be
our policy to continue to use our own
judgment in publishing news in THE
Star. We have always endeavored to
be fair and impartial with all the
people of tr.e community, whether sub
crlbers for THE STAR, borrowers of
their neighbor's paper, or not readers
of The Star. Rich or poor, high or
low, have always received fair treat
ment in the news reports of tbts paper,
Occasionally, not often, however, we
miss local news people go visiting or
have visitor, a party, &c but the
items are omitted because the editor
has not been informed, and not omitted
intentionally. The safest way is for
each person that has a news item to
see that the newsgatherur gets the
information. In these days of penny
postage in home town, rural routes and
telephones it should not be much
trouble for people who have newB Items
to get the news to The Star office.
Erroneous Impression
"No mail order business will be tol
erated," is the edict sent out by the
Chamber of Commerce of Pittsburgh,
to the manufacturers and wholesalers
of the Smoky City, who are to be on
the big special train while on a visit
to Reynoldsville on the morning of
May 28. While this Injunction is not
necessary, It is Issued to dispel an er
roneous Impression existing la some
sections. Tt Is desired to Bee the local
merchants only In the various places
that are to be visited. . Reports from
Pittsburgh indicate that It will be the
most successful trip of the kind ever
taken by that, body. Every day appli
cations are being received for space
on the train, a' '.the representation
promises to be more diversified than
ever. Special efforts are being made
to arrange the details of the schedule
so that the train Will arrive and depart
on schedule time, so as to prevent de
lays, loss of time and disappointments.
To accomplish this the railroads will
have special transportation officials on
the train at all times.
While the stop here will be com
paratively brief, it promises to bring
about mutual benefits. The possibility
of some of the local merchants going
to Punksutawney the night previous,
to join in the reception to be given
at that place, where the visitors will
remain all night, will give more time
to get better acquainted and add to the
enjoyment of the visit.
Deserved Tribute.
The Brooklyn Daily Eagle, published
in New York Citv. lu Its Sunday edi
tion of May 2, 1!)0!.. contained a largo
picture of James W. Stewnson and a
pagV write-up of his work In tho great
metropolis as bridge) ooinmlnsloiiHi- As
Mr. Stevenson is one of our home boys,
son ot Henry 8t,evc-nson, o' Sandy Val
ley, and personally we are very much
Interested In his sucooss, it Is a pleasure
for us to reprint uuy fuvorablo comment
made of him by the Niw York City
papers. In i's Issue of May 2nd, edi
torially, the Eagle said:
"The men who assembled tit the Wal-
dorff the other night to honor Bridge
Commissioner James W. Stevenson ex
pressed the general sentiment of this
community towards that most uxcelleut
official. No compliment paid to the
guest was undeserved. No estimate of
h'.s services overstated the intelligence,
industry and energy displayed by him
In the serviee of the city. Mr. Steven
son's experience In journalism revealed
him as a good newspaper man and pre
pared hlra to become a good public ser
vant. No responsibility thrust upon
him has ever been evaded. No duty
has been Inadequately discharged.
Under his administration the carrying
capacity of the Brooklyn Bridge has
beun increased, the equipment of the
Williamsburg Bridge has been enlarg
ed, the Queensboro Bridge pushed to
completion and a record made In the
building of the Manhattan Bridge of
which the history of suspension bridge
construction affords no parallel. These
are achievements which easily make
Mr. Stevenson's administration as Com'
mlssioner of Bridges the most remark
able of anv since consolidation. The
Eagle presents its compliments and con'
gratulations to the Commissioner, and
hopes for him as long a term of office
as be may be inclined to accept."
A Subtle Charm. -
The advertising columns ,of a news
paper have a subtle and Indefinable
" charm. . This is especially so when the
ads are prepared with care and with
the latent to Interest. One picks up a
newspaper and even before reading the
- news department have their attention
attracted to some ad. and without real-
. lzing that tbey are doing so, turn the
paper over to read the store news. This
is especially the caea with the ladies.
Some of them actually pay more atten
tion to and are more interested in the
I advertisements than any other part of
the paper. .And the shrewd merchant,
knowing this,- always has his store
story in the columns of newspapers. He
'I flndd that it brings him bis; returns.

Bad Sidewalks.
By referring to the minutes of the
town council, published elsewhere in
this l8tue of The Star, it will be seen
that, the council has instructed the
street committee to see that dilapidated
sidewalks are' repaired, and when ne
cessary rebuilt. Last year a number of
substantial sidewalks, either cement,
brick or atono, were built in Reynolds'
vllle. We understand that the street
committee, on a tour of Inspection,
found about forty sidewalks in town
that need repairing or new sidewalks,
and any person taking a stroll over the
back streets might doubt whether the
committee had found all the defective
walks if only forty were reported. If
the ordinance is en'orced a number of
new sidewalks will be built this year,
and as the new walks must be cement,
brick or stone, they will all be substan
tial walks. In a fow years, wooden side
walks will be a thing of. the past in
Reynoidsville.
Don't Knock.
Town people sometimes fall Into the
habit of running down tbelr own place
In conversation. ; This Is almost as bad
bb saying you wish you had married
another woman instead of your wife.
If you said that and your wife heard of
It, probably you would have a chance
to get another woman. But you'll nev'
er have much of chance to get another
town until you Improve the one you're
In so that you'll love It for it own sake.
Be kind to your home place and It will
be kind to you. Brookvllle Republican.

property, and in case there are no dl
reot heirs the residue of the estate
went to collateral heirs.

The Heart Can't Stand
Rheumatic Acid Poisoning
The Uric-O Treatment Expels the Poison
from the Blood.
Those sharp, shooting pains through
the chest around ' the region of the
heart mean that poisonous uric and
rbeumatlo acids are there ready - to
spring and' grip tightly the muscles
controlling the heart's action. Don't
neglect these warnings. You must
neutralize and drive these dangerous
poisons from the system, or sooner
or laterythey will overcome you.
The only true way to . cure rheu
matism is to get at it from th" Inside
with Urlc-O. It acts with marvelous
swiftness upon the muscles, kidneys
and the blood. Cleans out tbe send
like deposits in the muscles, forces the
kidneys to perform those duties for
which tbey wero designed and neutral
izes the acid within the blood.
Urio-0 is a liquid taken internally
3 times daily, and does not contain any
morphine, opium or other so-called
"pain deadeners." Sciatica, muscular,
Inflammatory and articular rheumatism
all yield readily to Urlo-O.
Urlc-O Is si Id and recommended by
Stoke & Feioht and by druggists every
where at 75o and $1.00 the bottle.
They will furnish samples and liter
ature upon request or same can be
obtained by writing to the Smith Drug
Co., 110 Smith Bldg., Syracuse, N. Y.
