Here To Inspect
The Silk Mill
fii Un'l
Outlook Exceedingly Favorable
For a Better Demand For
Silk In Near Future.
rr.:. ' r
OPTIMISTIC FEELING PREVAILS
Much Interest was aroused In Reyn
oldsville Saturday by the visit of F. U.
Stevens, a financier of New York City,
tor the purpose of Inspecting the local
plant of the American Silk Company.
His stay was short and little or no In
formation of the plans of. the company
can be secured from those connected
with the corporation, but It may be
inferred from the known business con
nections of Mr. Stevens that his visit
had something to do with the financing
of the American Silk Company, and
the consequent resumption of the mills
of the corporation at Keynoldsvllle and
other cities.
Trade journals report a temporary
lull in the demand for silk during the
past two months, but the market for a
long time previous had shown steady
Improvement and most of the indepen
dent and smaller mills throughout the
country had resumed operation In fuil
or part. The York mills of the Amer
ican Silk Company are not now running
full capacity, the output haying sur
passed the demand. i
Among those connectod with the
company the feeling is very optimistic
for a quick resumption of the local
plant. While most of the old employes
are now working elsewhere, there will
be no difficulty securing a full force of
skilled workmen at once If the an
nouncement -of resumption Is made.
The superintendent now in charge of
the plant has recolved scores of letters
from old employes begging to be noti
ced at once of any indication of re
sumption and express eagerness to come
back to Reynoldsville again.
Rigorous Diet Of
Water and Buns
Reynoldsville's Mayor Solves
Problem of Making Bastile
Terms Unpleasant.
Mayor Jarvis D. Williams has
-adopted a cheap way of making It
unpleasant for "bums" who are locked
In the city bastile for drunkenoss or
some other infraction of the law and
do not have the necessary "wherewith
al" to lidquidate the fine Imposed on
them and have to ."serve time." Tn
the morning they are given a bun and
glass of water, at noon a glass of water
and bun and in the evening the same
bill of fare as the morning three
glasses of water and three bung during
the day.
A colored fellow bad been arrested
several times and never had money
to pay his fines, but It did not seem
to be any punishment for him to board
and lodge in the look-up a couple of
days. The last time, several months
ago, he came up before Mayor Williams
for a hearing the Mayor sentenced him
to six days in the lock-up and limited
his boarding to three buns a day.
When that fellow served the six days
and was released he instantly skipped
and has not been In the town slnoe.
He has been beard from, however, In
directly by reports that he is caution-
. ing people to keep away from Reynoldsville.

tary was chosen and K. C. Schuckers selected to hold the funds.
By motion the chairman appointed the committees named below,

TIMES will always be bad for the person
who does not save. To-morrow will
be no better than to-day and next
year will be a good deal worse.
Men in their right minds rarely invite dis
aster, but he is surely doing so, who deliber
ately allows bad conditions to continue. It
only takes a little "I will" power to correct
them.
We value every account in this bank

Activity In Coal
Fields Lying To
East of Wishaw
Several Hundred Acres Have
Been Leased by a Newly
Formed Company.
NOW READY FOR SHIPMENTS
The fact that new coal companies
are being organized almost weekly In
this section is another straw that in
dicates which way the ooal dust trade
winds are blowing.
The latest one to make a bid In this
respeot is the Paradise Coal Mining
Company, of Wishaw. The new con
cern has as stockholders, Lewis Wes
ter, of Anita, Andrew Olson and Gus
Carlson, of Wishaw, and Peter Lar
son, of Cherrytree.
Last year they purohased several
hundred acres of coal land lying to
the east of Wishaw and early this
spring began to work on a drift on the
Christ Syphert farm. The head of
the drift now shows five and a halt
feet of fine ooal, and borings show that
much of the - land Is underlaid with
six and one half feet of black diamond
mineral.
The coal will be hauled over their
own road to Wishaw, a distance of
11-2 miles and loaded on B., It. & P.
cars for shipment. Wednesday the
contractor began laying rails and an
order has been placed with a Lima,
Ohio, firm for a locomotive.
The company has a signed contract
for all the coal they can mine, and
hence the plant will be completed as
soon as possible and it Is expected that
the first shipment will be mado in
about three weeks.
The company expoots to employ
about 75 men In the first opening, and
next fall a second drift will be started.
They will build several houses, but
a large porportlon of their men have
homes in Wishaw. Punxsutawney
