NUMBER 3.
Jefferson County Institute Will Be
Held In Reynoldsville This Year
Through the Efforts of the Business Men's Association the
Coveted Prize is Secured for Reynoldsville; Magnificent
Program of Evening Entertainments.
OFFICIAL ANNCEMENT OF ,
Governor R, B. Glenn, of North
W. Hoch, of Kansas, Will Lecture Hinshaw Grand
Opera Company and The International Girls Will Furnish
Musical Entertainment Will be Held December 19-23.
THE TEACHERS' INSTITUTE of Jefferson county will be held
in Reynoldsville December 19-23, 1910.
. This 19 the outcome of negotiations carried on for several
months past by the Business Men's Association of Reynoldsville
with County Superintendent L. M. Jones, of Brookville. To secure
the Institute for Reynoldsville the Association entered into a con-
tract with the County Superintendent voluntarily guaranteeing
the sale of four hundred course tickets to defray the expenses of
the Institute and eliminate the risk incident to breaking over the
established precedent of holding this annual event at the county
seat. Knowing that the local people have desired to secure the
Institute for a dozen years back, the Association had no hesitation
in pledging liberal support and believes that when the tickets are
placed on sale the people will more than make good the Associa
tion's guarantee.
The press of the county has already voiced its wish to have
the educational benefits of the Institute more widely distributed
over the county and the present action of Superintendent Jones
in bringing it to the most accessible town in the county, and hold
ing it in one of the largest and finest theatres in the county, will
xjneet with wide approval.
'l The announcement of Superintendent Jones, issued from Brook
Rille yesterday, follows:
The county Institute for 1010 will be
held In the new AdelphI Theatre, Royn
. oldsvllle, December 19 to 23. Prelim-

Institute should not be one or the very
best ever held In the county, both in
. point of attendance and excellence of
instruction and entertainment.
The attraction for Monday night will
b64he Hinshaw Grand Opera Company.
The members of this attraction devote
only part of the time to lyceura work;
the remainder of their time being spent
in New York City in grand opeta. I
feel safe In saying that no stronger at
traction has ever appeared oo an en-
iaHtalnmont. nAll tau
Tuesday evening Governor R. B.
Glenn, of North Carolina, will make
his second appearance before a Jeffer
son county institute. Last year Gov
ernor Glenn not only entertained, but
all who were so fortunate as to hear
htm went away with nobler resolves for
good. He will have an entirely new
lecture this year.
The International Girls, a very high
class company of ten girls, representing
In appropriate costumes the girls of
f he various nations, will render a de
lightful progratn Wednesday evtming.
Thursdayevening Ex-Governor E.W.
Hoch, of Kansas, will bring to a fitting
close so strong a course' Mr. Hoch is
not an experiment as a lecturer; he nas
appeared on most of the great courses
in the country one or more times, and
all agree that be 1s a great orator, a
born orator with all that can be added
by education and experience.
The day instructors already engaged
are equally good. Professor J. W.
Yoder is one of the best musio men in
the business. Professor C. P. Zaner,
the instructor in penmanship, is the
author of the Zaner system of penman
ship now used in the county, and a
great penmanship teacher. Dr. Charles
Calvert Ellis is a man of the Ferris
type and will make good the same way
as did the great Ferris last year.
Othera have been Dartiallv arranged
for and will be announced later.
The conditions were such that ,1
deemed it wise to break a well estab
lished preoedent and hold this Institute
in Reynoldsville; this was done only
"after mature deliberation, and as the
result of a firm conviction that it was
the beet thing for the institute. Your
oo-operatloo and assistance is requested
in making this a helpful institute.- I
am, " , Respectfully yours,

LOCAL OPTION AN ISSUE.
Republican Candidates for Nomination
for Assembly Pledge Themselves.
We, the undesigned, believe that
Local Option, or majority rule In self
government, is an Inherent right of the
people of any civilized community, and
is the paramount Issue In Pennsylvania
politics at this time.
We believe Local Option is a practical
solution of the liquor problem.
We believe the only feasible way to
secure the enactment of a Local Option
law by the legislature of Pennsylvania
at Its next session is by all friends of
such legislation uniting In support of
the Anti-Saloon League, an organiza
tion of recognized state and national
standing.
As candidates for nomination for As
sembly by the Republican party of Jef
ferson county, which party, in conven
tion assembled has declared its alleg
iance to the principle of Local Option;
and our candidacy having been endorsed
by the Local Option League of Jeffer
son county In convention assembled,
and approved by state and national offi
cials of the Anti-Saloon League, we
pledge ourselves, if nominated and
elected, to work and vote for such a
Local Option bill as the Pennsylvania
Anti-Saloon League may find it exped
ient to present before the legislature
for enactment into law. ' 1

HAS WIDESPREAD SUPPORT.
Gen. Harry White, Veteran Soldier and
Jurist, Popular Candidate.
In a letter published in the Pitts
burgh Dixpuk-h on 20th instant Gen.
Harry White, of Indiana county, an
nounced his candidacy for the nomin
ation for Congress In the Twenty
Beventh district, embracing Armetrong,
Jefferson, Clarion and Indiana counties.
Following is part of Gen. White's
letter:
"I carried the flag for honest money
against enormous odds, with great
labor nod effort throught the district.
This was In greenback fusion days of
Western Pennsylvania, and many of
those who were then in opposition want
me now to go to Washington.
"For years past many people have
Bald to me, 'We want you In Congress.'
In 1900, since I left the bench, an in
fluential citizen said to me, have the
the courage of your youth and be a
candidate; so also In 1908. This year
these requests were repeated. Bolng
human, I was touched by old friends,
saying they wanted to have a chance
once more of voting for me forCongresB
before thoy died. I refusud to allow
the dual filing of nomination papers
until I had some public expression in
open meeting from voters that many
pooplo desired me to run. This, I
thought, was in harmony with the
spirit and intent of the uniform pri
mary election laws a sort of initiative
and referendum, that has been adopted
by several wostorn states.
"I will not trllle witl) the people and
keep the word of promise to our ear and
break to our hope. A very few hither
to so-called Republicans, personal
friends, disinterestedly, I hope, say:
You make a mistake, the organization
will be. against you.' I said and say
if chairman and members of committee
will intorfore to prevent the Roose
veltian square deal and not allow a
fair election and legal voters to decide,
then uniform primary election laws and
constitutional amendments have been
enacted In vain, and I denounce and
defy them. But I'll not believe the
organization men are anything else
than honorablo, fair-minded gentlemen.
"Fair minded voters haye great power
I have just opened a letter, signed by
businessmen In the upper part of the
district, saying: 'We understand you
have filed nomination papers for Con
gress; if so, you will find the best and
most influential citizens in this berough
and township are at your service with
out money, without price.'
"My fellow citizens placed my name
on the ballot because they wanted it
there. It will be more dishonor to
take it off without their consent than
in a fair election to have It voted down.
My name is there, Farragut-like, at the
mast. There it will remain until shot
away, not by bullets, but unfriendly
ballots."

FINDS SON IN CRAVE.
R. S. Porter Identifies His Son by Ax
Mark on Ankle.
It was stated in The Star last week
that the body of a young man was
found on a but cinder dump at Klski
mlnetas Junction on Sunday morning,
May 15, and that R. S. Porter, of
Reynoldsville, thought the dead man
was bis son, Elmer Porter. Mr. Porter
went to Klskimlnetas Junction Tues
day, May 17, and learned there that
the body had been taken to Vander
grlft and burled on Monday. He went
to Vandergrlft and had the body ex
humed, which was terribly burned,
both arms were roasted oft and the
face and body badly cooked, almoBt
beyond recognition, but by a scar
from an ax wound on left leg, below
the knee, Mr. Porter made positive
identification that it was body of bis
son. A corduroy cap and coat that was
found on body was identified 89 being
cap and coat that Elmer bad worn.
The cap and coat Mr. Porter brought
home with him, but for two reasons
the body was not brought to Reynolds
ville for burial, lack of sufllolent funds
and decomposition having already set
In, and the body was again lowered
Into the new made grave and the grave
was refilled without clolay.
In a note book in a pocket of the coat
worn by Elmer Porter was the name
of Annlo Swartz, of Reynoldsville, and
had it not boon for this name and
address Mr. and Mrs. Portor would
never have known what become of their
son.
Elmer was a sufferer from epiloptlo
attacks and it is possible that one of
tbom came over him after he had laid
down on cinder dump to sleep and
that the gas from the clndor dump
asphyxiated him. Mr. Porter and
family are inclined to think that
Elinor was murdered and body thrown
on cinder pile. Elmer carried about
$200 life insurance.
