Several months ago the Pennsyl vania railroad Company had the Summerville telephones taken out of its offices In Brookville, Reynoldsvllle, Falls Creek and DuBols because the Telephone Co, wanted pay for the use of 'phones and the railroad company refused to pay for same at least we were so informed. We are sure that the telephone was taken out of tbe railroad offices at this place, much to the inconvenience of a large number of .merchants of this place who have Summerville 'phones in their stores. To our way of thinking this was not a fair thing to do, for the railroad company gets enough patronage from our merchants to entitle them to the accommodation of the telephone. Tbe Summerville phones have been re-Installed in the Brookville and Du Bols P. R. R. offices. Why discriminate against Reynoldsvllle In this matter? Tbe merchants of our town are entitled to same consideration a" other towns. The B., R. & P. R'y has both .phones in tbe freight depot here and it is appreciated by our merchants. Starting in Right. Monday we reoelved a letter from a lady whom she and husband recently went to housekeeping In the "City of Brotherly Love," in which she said: "Will you kindly enter our subscrip tion for a year for .The Star (which should be in every well regulated home) and find 11.00 enclosed 1n payment of same."

Judge Telford, of Indiana, Pa., has given a decision that 'he law prohibit ing foreigners from carrying firearms or having them in tbelr possession is unconstitutional. It Is quite likely that the case will be carried to a higher court. The Hogs Were Killed. Mention was made In THE STAR last week that John Stlteler, who resides near Panic, bad a pen of hogs, several of which bad been bitten by a mad dog, and that two of the hogs had fully de veloped cases of hydrophobia. There were ten hogs In the pen and Mr. Stlte ler had to kill all of them. Fractured Lett Hip. William Cathers, aged 85 years, re spected citizen of Rathmel, well known In Winsk w township and this section of Jefferson county, was chasing a cow to water Saturday evening when he tripped over a log and fractured his left hip.

The Cigarette Law. The W. C. T.

Not only the dealer in cigarettes, but tbe person who gives a boy a cigarrette or cigarette paper Is liable. Here is tbe law: "That If any person or persons shall furnish cigarettes or cigarette paper, by gift, sale or otherwise, to any person or persons under the age of twenty-one years, he or she so offending shall be guilt of a misdemeacor." Penalty Fine of not more than 1300 and not less than $100. False Fire Alarm. About 6 30 p. m. Saturday afire alarm was sent in from tbe residence of J. T. Evans, on Third street, anu the Ore company understood tbe call was from Thomas E. Evans' residence on Main street, and they took a wild drive up Main street only to find that they were at the wrong place. However, the fire company was not needed. Mr. Evans was away from home, Mrs. Evans did not understand the workings of the dampers in the f'. mace and had turned the wrong damper, filling the cellar and house full of smoke and she thought the house was on fire, and sent in a fire alarm by telephone. As there was wood smoke mixed with tbe coal smoke it is not surprising that Mrs. Evans thought tbe house was on fire. See the Xmas hats and caps at Mllli rens, Lost S. A. E. fraterity pin.

"THE NEEDS OF THE HOUR." Hon. George D. Alden's Lecture Was Interesting and Instructive. One of tbe most interesting and in structive lectures given In Reynolds vllle for some time, was that given by Judge George D. Alden In Assembly ball last Thursday evening. On account of the cold weather the attendance was not as large as usual, but those who fail ed to attend missed a fine leoture. His subject was, "Tbe Needs of the Hour," and for one hour at,d forty-five minutes he dealt with vital questions; with Intimate problems; with matters touch ing the formation of character as the one solution of tbe question how to properly safeguard our inherited rights; the development of true manhood and womanhood as the sole and only hope of our Nation's permanency, progress and prosperity. In fact Judge Alden touched on nearly every great question of publio Interest, at first In a humorous vein, and again In a more serious mood, with 1 oppres siveness of argument and logical de duction. He used epigram at.d sarcasm with telling effect. Young and old, married or single, saint or sinner who heard "Tbe Needs of tbe Hour" and would take home to themselves tbe truisms presented and practice them in the every day life will find that this is not such a bad world after all, and they will be better prepared for the after life. I Don't Care. "I don't care! How often we hear young people say this! My young friend, you ought to care aye, you will care, perhaps, when It Is too late. "Don't care" baa ruined thousands. It has filled jails, and almbouses, and murderer's graves; it has wrung tbe hearts of parents, and brought deep blushes to a sister's cheeks; it has broken them; many partake of the blessings they bring, yet In their enjoy ment of them forget tbe giver alto gether. Learn to be appreciative, and by a little word of love, kindness and encouragement, help others, and it will bring sunshine Into your own life and gladness in all your ways Olson-Framz Wedding.

That scores of notaries, both men and women, have rendered themselves lia ble to legal prosecution and punish ment is the opinion of a number of prominent attorneys. The trouble has grown out of the allegation, as represented In an ac knowledgement by a notary publio be fore tbe arbitration board in Pittsburg the other day, that he did not keep a dooket of oases passing thru his hands; that many notaries negleot to maintain records of Important legal cases which get into the courts, as prescribed by law, after being handled by them. It is asserted that this is a legal of fpr.sn, punishable in every Instance. Frequently In the courso of trials at bar, the records of notaries are needed to prove points of evidence. Recently, it is said, tbe discovery has been made that notary after notary did not have the duckets that should have been in their possession. Kittanning Dally Times. Ladies' and Childrens Hats.
