Workmen Ready to Send Financial Aid to
Homestead, II Needed.
NEW CASTLE, July 7.-[Special 1-When
the news reached here that the Homestead
workingmen had triumphed over the Pin
kerton men, there was great rejoicing
among the workingmen. New Castle con-
tains about 1900 Amalgamated men en-
ployed in four rolling mills, and they look
upon the trouble at Homestead as per-
sonal matter, believing that it is an attempt
to destroy the Amalgamation.
If necessary the New Castle men will
furnish the strikers with financial aid. The
mills in New Castle are idle just now, but
will start up again in few days, as there
will be no trouble about the scale here.

Strongest Objection to the PInkertons.
Mr. Watson, of Georgia, criticized the
committee for having been derelict In its
duty in not proceeding with the investigs-

approach of q Presidential election quick
ened some political movements. The strong
objection to the Pnkertons was that they
are an unauthorized public body, organised

Why Not Secure II?

The Adrian hospital is to be removed
and the trustees are now fishing for the
best offer for the new location. They
say that there will be expected from
the town which secures the hospital
donations of an eligible site and $1,000
in cash. It is claimed that not less
than 100000 will be expended within a
year from the location of the hospital
and probably $4,000 year thereafter.
Dubois and Punxsutawney are the only
towns that seem desirous Of securing
the hospital. What Is the matter with
Reynoldsville making an effort to get it?
There is no reason why we should
not have the hospital here. This is a
good location, we can furnish good
site and can surely raise 5000 without
much trouble. Its worth looking after.

"It was Called a Show"

Two men came from Dubois Friday
morning and put up a few half sheet
bills, with the Courier imprint on,
announcing that Mitchell's Big Specially
Co. would show at Rathmel on Monday
evening, November 2lst. The company,
composed OF eight whites and one
colored fellow who wore silk hat that
had been in style before the Big
Specially Co. had been conceived of and
had been made for man with a larger
head, IL not a loftier ambition, than
the wearer Of the aforementioned hat,
came to Reynoldsville Monday after
noon. The company went from here to
Rathmel and before small audience
gave one Of the rottenest shows ever
sprung on the people of that village,
and from what we can learn OF the
performance we would say in the
language OF the Courier, this lot should
be crying fish up a dark alley or selling
soup in some suburban town instead of
being before the footlights trying to
amuse the public" We believe in
giving Dubois credit for all the talent
sent out from there, and consequently
mention the fact that this wonderful
company was born in that town and all
the performers are from there, with
the exception of two, who came from
Punxsutawney. The Big Speciality Co.,
special in their cheek to try to palm off
as show, stopped at Hotel Belnap and
Tuesday forenoon lacked enough ''filthy
lucre' to liquidate their hotel bill.
They wanted to leave one Of their men
as security, but Green & Conser have
no room for ''star boarder," and
preferred something more valuable.
The boss put up his watch and squared
the account. Ed. c.. Burns, the livery
man, was hired to hitch up his best
turnout-for hauling coal, lumber, &c
two horse wagon, and, seated in the
bed Of the wagon, the Big Co. started
from here at 1880 A. NJ. to drive to Big
Run, where they would bill the town
after getting there and show the same
evening, and, no doubt walk from
there to Dubois this morning and talk
the remainder of the winter about their
wonderful success in the show business.
A generous dose of ancient eggs would
have been an. appropriate donation
from the people of Rathmel.

Glad to Get Back.

w. J. Thompson, who left Reynold-
vile six years ago last March and
squatted in the Turtle Mountain and
Mouse River district, Bottineau county,
North Dakota, returned to Reynolds
vile with his family Friday last. Mr.
Thompson has had the western fever
frozen out Of him and he is here to stay
He likes Dakota, but prefers old
Pennsylvania. This year about harvest
time a heavy hail storm visited his
section of the country and made sad
havoc with the crops. Crops are among
the uncertain things of North Dakota
Mr.. Thompson says there has been a
wonderful improvement in Reynoldsville
since he left here. improvements come
one at time and people who grow with
them do not notice the difference as do
those who are away for awhile.

Electric Railways.

There is some talk of building an
electric railroad between Punxsutawney
and Indiana. The estimated cost of
building the road is about 5000, 900.
Judge Harry White is taking an interest
in the project and says If the people at
Punxsutawney and Indiana and along
the line will furnish half the amount
he knows where the other half will
come from. While this would, doubtless,
be a money making scheme, yet we are
more interested just now in an electric
road from Reynoldsville to Rathmel.
Subscriptions for the last named road
are continually coming in. Have you
taken any stock yet?

Coal Deal.

Senator Peale, of Lock Haven, has
purchased the coal right Of over five
hundred acres in Paradise Settlement,
as follows: From Silas Brooks, 300
acres; j. j. McCreight, 100 acres; John
j. Deemer, SO acres; Jonothan Deemer,
81 acres; A. f. Homer, 80 acres. 1t is
generally understood that the Senator
made the purchase for the Bloomington
Coal Company. 1t was only recently
that large coal tract was purchased
for the same company near Rathmel.
There is no doubt but that the new coal
works so near Reynoldsville will be a
benefit to our town. 1t is expected
that work will be commenced in a
few days, on the Rathmel tract, on a
blacksmith shop, mule barn and other
buildings.

Got Left at Falls Creek.

Six passengers, who wanted to catch
the Brookville accommodation last
Friday evening, got to Falls Creek over
the b., r. & p. R'y just about five
minutes after the A. V. train had left
there. Ye editor was among the ''left"
passengers, and the only alternative
was to walk home or remain in Falls
Creek all night. Fortunately we met
Frank Caldwell, a conductor on the r.
& F. c. R'y, who had his lamp trimmed
and burning, who kindly offered to show
us over the ruff places of that aspiring

secured bed for the small sum of fifty
cents. AS it was rather early to retire
we visited the Herald Office and found
the young, energetic editor, Chas. j.
Bangert, seated in the cosiest sanctum
in the county, with large pile of
exchanges beside him. The office
''devil' was also there looking as
digniiied as the President-elect of the
United States, and wanting Bangert to
explain to him how Puck printed its
pictures in so many colors. That
'devil' looks like lad who is apt in
doing his masters bidding. Bangert

town in the county by any means. II

WORTHY OF CONSIDERATIONS.
Business Men Should Advertise People
Should Buy at Home.

Perhaps our business men are not
aware Of the fact that several nearby
towns are sapping considerable Of the
financial life blood from our own live
town, and why, do you say? There
business men fully appreciate the value
Of printers ink and invest their money
and manage TO get their advertisements
into Reynoldsville homes. Many people
go to other towns to buy goods, claiming
they cannot get what they want here.
We have just as good stores in Reyn-
oldsville as can be found In our
neighboring towns, but think the real
secret Of the whole business is that our
merchants do not all advertise as much
as they should. This article is not
written merely to benefit THE STARS
advertising columns, but we have the
real interest Of the town in view and
see no reason why people should go out
of IL to buy what they want. We have
not yet gone out Of Reynoldsville TO ask
for advertising and do not want TO be
compelled TO do so, but II it comes our
way we will not likely refuse It, and yet
we did refuse an "ad" several weeks
ago because 1t would have been injurious
to several business men who do not
advertise in THE STAR. Several times
recently Bro Elliott has run almost five
column of "ads'' for Dubois business
men. We do not censure him for IL,
nor do we blame the advertisers. IL is
business, but mention the fact TO show
that they expect TO get Reynoldsville
people induced TO come TO their town TO
buy, and are succeeding. We received a
local notice from business lady OF
Dubois last week as bait to catch our
Is written TO show our people the
present business condition Of Reynolds
vile.
On the other hand people have the
privilege Of buying where they please,
yet II you want the town in which you
live to amount to anything do not buy all
you need from some other place. You
can buy as cheap at home as you can in
nearby towns. Merchants Of other
towns may offer you one article little
cheaper than you can buy it at home,
but they will make 1t up on something
else when they get you in their stores.
There are people in Reynoldsville who
are doing business here that il they
want something out of their line they
will send away for it. Is that business?
Suppose other business men send or go
to some other town and buy the same
goods you handle? Come, let us reason
together! Let the business men adver-
tlse and tell the people in their homes
what bargains they will give them, and
then let the people buy what they want
at home. II our merchants have not
got what you want they will get it for
you. There is no reason why the
people of Reynoldsville should spend
their money in other towns. There is
q large business done in this town now,
but not what IL should be.

Acted Strange.

A dirty looking fellow, bearing the
semblance Of veteran nuisance. called
a tramp, performed some strange antics
around several dwelling houses in
Reynoldsville last week. The man was
either not sane or else he was taking
daylight view for a night visit. At
DR.. Alexander's he took good survey
of one side of the house and looked
around the corner half dozen times
and when discovered asked for some-
thing TO eat. At Geo. Mellinger's he
'took in" the exterior OF the house
until he heard some one coming and
then he threw himself full length on
the ground. A. G. Milliren's was the
next visited and similar performances
were enacted there. We do not know
how many other places in town the
fellow visited. 1t may be possible. but
hardly probable, that he was bashful
"tramp." The description given of the
man, however, would lead one to think
him guilty of doing most anything
under the cover of darkness.

Assaulted by -Four Ruffians.

Oscar Anderson, of this place, who
holds the position as flagman on the
fast freight that runs between Dubois
and Red Bank, came very nearly being
badly used up near Fairmount one night
last week. He was on his way back to
perform his duty as lagmen when four
rufiians attacked him with the intention
of handling him roughly. Oscar could
have gotten the better Of two or three,
but four, with the assistance of stones,
were too many for him. He got to
the caboose before they injured him
seriously. A rock between the eyes.
however, put his COOKERS in mourning.
The only reason known for the attack
is that the fellows were put off the train
once when trying to steal ride. Had
train been following closely great
damage would have been done to rail-
road property and perhaps life or
two sacrificed. The fellows may learn
before the ending Of the matter that il
is serious thing to trifle with a
railroad man while on duty, as the
company will look after such doings.
Two of the fathers of the miscreant
chaps came to Reynoldsville Monday
afternoon to try and get the trouble
settled. We did not learn how they
succeeded, but the railroad company is
not very lenient with fellows who
trespass upon their premises.

In Favor Of Shropshires.

Mr.. A. b. Allen. an intelligent, writer old
in experience thinks the Shropshire leads
all the other breeds for general usefulness
in America. Under some other circnm-
stances perhaps he might incline to award
the palm to some other breed. He declares
in the n V. Tribune that. owing to this
general usefulness. the Shropshires have
have been imported in greater number than
anv other breed--especiallv of rams to turn
out among our Gocks of common ewes. The
chief unit of their breeding is an increase of
flesh in proportion TO the bone, and this
flesh Is of supreme quality. it being mostly
tender, juicy lean, well marbled, that is,
abundantiy mixed with nice slender streaks
of fat. Broader. more juicy and thicker
chops can be cut from the carcass of sucb
sheep, and they are more savors and ten
DERBY cooked. The leg of mutton, whether
roasted or boiled, is superior that every
part of it is eaten without waste of fat and
tough pieces 10 he cut of and laid aside.
If. then. it happens to cost higher in the
market. it is cheaper in the end, for every
part of it is consumed Ind highly relIshed.
