GREATSTRIKE IMPENDING
Over Four Hundred Thousand
Miners to Quit Work.
NEARLY A MILLION AFFECTED.

The Coming Action of Coal Miners in
Great Britain-They VIII Make q
Great Fight Against Reduced wsges-
LONDON, Feb. 29.-It Is now esti-
mated that the immense number of
100000 miners will cease work In a
fortnight in their efforts to prevent
the masters from putting into effect
the scheme to reduce wages.
The only miners who stand aloof
from the movement are those In
South Staffordshire and East Worces-
shire.
1t is estimated that close to 1000, 900
men will feel the effects OF the min
er's struggle.
The agitation is due to the action OF
mine owners in Wales and Cumber-
land, who gave an intimation OF their
inten ton to reduce wages on the slid
Ing scale principle, owing to the de-
cline that had occurred in the prices of
coal. The men refused to accept a
reduction and declared that the mine
owners must make the consumers pay.
Affairs in Durham are being
watched with great interest, as it Is
understood that IL the men come out
they will attend the great London
Conference OF March 16.
The feeling throughout Yorkshire,
Lancashire and Derbyshire is very
earnest, coliers at many OF their
large meetings having voted in favor
of standing out for a fortnight with
out applying to their respective asso-
Citations for funds.

Drown the Foggies.

The sprightly Erening Erpress, Of
Lock Haven, got out special boom
edition last Saturday, in which the
bright prospects for that old staid town
were portrayed in an excellent manner.
Lock Haven, no doubt, has many advan-
tages and should be live town. We
mentioned several weeks ago the energy
and enterprise Of the Express, and their
special edition is another proof of the
fact that 1t means to do its part in
making that town a veritable hive of
industry. Yet the Express may issue
special editions until their press is sold
for old iron, the Office yields to the
ravishings of time and the editor
becomes as old as Mathuselah. and still
If the moneyed men keep their vaults
locked and discourage every laudable
enterprise that may come their way,
the town will merely be a place where
the inhabitants exc out miserable
existence. A newspaper is the life OF a
town, but when it booms the people
must push with their capital, and then
the delightful hum of industry will
continually be heard in their midst.
The worst curse to any towns business
outlook is lot of old foggies, who are
satisfied with living, afraid to risk a
penny and utter their benediction Of
failure upon any enterprise that may
necessitate an outlay of cash. Deliver
Reynoldsville from any such town
destroyers. We, with our friend in the
eastern valley, want live business men
who are not satisfied with mere living,
but look we'll to the future.

WILL BOND THE BOROUGH.
The New Ballot System Was Tried by
lai People Saturday.

On Saturday, June 25th, the citizens
OF Reynoldsvillc voted on the question
Of bonding the borough for the purpose
of building new school house. There
are G60 voters In the borough, hut only
3i5 found their way To the voting place
Saturday. Tho vote was ~ follows:
For bonding, 293; against, 25. The
result was the only wise decision for the
citizens, Of u town with as bright fu-
turc as Rcynoldsville has, to make.
The bonds are not to exceed 81, ,0OO but
will not be over $25. 900. The new ballot
system was used and ns the people are
not familiar with II, q votes were
thrown out by not being marked prop
crly. Some made the X, which desig-
mated what they were voting for, on the
left hand side, while others crossed out
what they did not want, thus making
their ballots Of no consequence. Thir-
teen booths were used II will DC an
utter impossibility for the voters of
Rcynoldsvillc to cast their votes nj one
place under the new system without
more assistance on the election board.
County Commissioner Muhollan came
mp from Brookville Saturday morning
and got the new system in working
order.
A side election was held ut the same
place, the Burns House, for tho pur-
pose Of getting AN expression from the
people In regard to the location Of the
proposed now school building. There
were 3l3 votes cast Tor location ~ fol-

Not in a Bottle.

Rather II pleasant fellow, with black
curly hair, who did not want 10 be class
cd among the street falirs who travel
through the country, opened his "bazoo"
and notion box near Hotel Belnap one
evening last week and done consider
able talking and sold some goods. He
apologizcd for his appearance on the
street and said he had come here TO
open store but was unable To secure II
room, hence his appearance ON the
street to make II little money to keep up
with his expenses. He had neat little
street lamp with him that he carried to
use In cases of emergency. Before talk
ing many minutes he said he had been
in that business for nineteen years. He
claimed to have the genuine old devil in
II bottle and has had his majesty there
for seventeen years. The people Of
Reynoldsvillc know that the falxir Is
mistaken because his satanic majesty is
raised to often in this place for the citi-
zcns to believe he is travelling just with
this especial stOre-rOom-hunting mer-
chant. No one hearing the fakir talk
II few minutes would dispute his claim Of
seventeen years association with the
master OF the Internal regions.

Boy Drowned.

Last Thursday afternoon Reynolds
vile citizons were startled by the
announcement that II boy had been
drowned in the Sandy Lick near Soldier
Run. John Francis Dacy, son of David
Dacy, was tho youthful victim. He, in
company with George White, little
lad who makes his home with his
grandfather, John Cottlc, went TO
Sandy Lick to paddle around in the
water, as they could not swim. The
creek was high at the time and Johnny
got into n deeper hole than he had
expected TO find and the little chap
sank beneath the water. His compan-
ion says he came up three times. The
alarm was given and assistance was
soon upon the scene but too late To save
the boys life. After dragging the
stream an hour and half the body was
recovered. The funeral services were
held in the Catholic church at o o'clock
Saturday morning and the remains
were inferred in the Catholic ceme-
terry. The boy was 10 years and s
months old.
This is another warning to boys who
become reckless about playing along
the creek, and especially little fellows
who cannot swim.

one tiptoe around on his front porch and
he got up and looked out Of the window,
which was raised, and Just M he stuck
his head out he heard low whistle and
In II second u revolver was fired and Jim
discovered man In his front yard who
was making n rapid exit He omptied

Mincer was the fellow who had fired
the first shot. One man was stationed
outside while the other two were pre-
pairing 10 enter the house. The police
man noticed the man ON the corner and
quietly tried 10 get near him, but the
villain was on the alert and when he
spied Minccr he gave the warning whis-
tie and jumped about 10 feet and ran
like deer The policeman shot at him
twice but was not close enough 20 hit
his mark. Two Of the robbers ran up
Grant street and the other one ran
through Mottcr's and Stokes gardens
and fell hcadlong in jumping from
Stokes garden 10 the street. Mrs. .E.C.

night will end the career Of some Of the

Sometime during Monday night an
entrance was made into the Methodist
church through II window and the front
door pried open but nothing taken.
The following Sunday after the birthday
box was robbed the Children's Day
exercises were held in the church and
birthday Offering was asked for from all
members Of the Sunday school and
church which, with the collection,
amounted 10 almost $50. No doubt the

A Pleasan, and Profitable Convention

Tho county convention Of the Y. l.. $.
&. r.. was held in the Beechwoods Pres
byterian church last Thursday. The
various societies Of the county were rep-
resented. Forty-two Heynoldsville-
tics were in attendance, twenty-five
from the Presbyterian Endcavor, this
being the largest delegation from any
one society, ten from the Baptist
Endeavor and ten visitors. Notwith-
standing the storm before the morning
light made its appearance over the
eastern hill tops, the day was an ideal
one for such gathering in nook Of
tho Beechwoods settlement Tho pro-
gram prepared for the occasion was
carried out in detail. The address Of
the day was made by Rev. Spooner, Of
Altoona, In whose church the Endeavor
state Convention will be held this fall.
Ridgway and PenGeld were admitted
into the Association. The next conven-
tion will be held in Dubois in December.
Tho young people returned home with
increased enthusiasm and zeal for their
work. The convention was not only
profitable but also an enjoyable affair.
Dinner and supper were served in the
pretty grove on the church property
where over 800 people did ample justice
to the "lay out" while the young people
made the welkin ring with their shouts
of laughter and glee. The long tables
were covered with unbeached muslin
and bountiful supply Of good things
were placed thereon. Visiting dele
gates carried baskets with them, but
the generous people Of Beechwoods,
who know how to prepare edibes TO
please the most fastidious epicure, pre-
pared tempting supplies Of the choicest
kinds. Some of the Reynoldsville
people faired 30 sumptuously that they
might justly be called gOurmands.

Charles Burket, of Camp Run, met
with an accident Friday evening in
which he very nearly lost all the fingers
on his right hand. He was coming
home from work carrying an axe with
him and he tripped and fell, the sharp
tool coming down upon his hand. The
end of the index finger was cut off and
the other members of the hand had to
receive some stitches to hold them in
their respective places. The young
man was fortunate in not being left
with four stubs. DR.. Bowser, who
dressed the wound, has had four injured
hands to fix up in as many weeks.

Surprised Congregations.

The pastors Of the Methodist, Pres
byterian and Baptist churches gave
their congregations quite surprise
Sunday evening by exchanging pulpits
unannounced. Rev. Murray preached
in the Presbyterian church, Rev. Fur
bay in the Baptist and Rev. Derr in the
Methodist. II was so arranged that the
preachers did not enter the churches
until the second bell rang. II was a
complete surprise all around. Some
people who had friends visiting them
went to one church in the morning and
took their friends to another church in
the evening to hear that pastor and
heard the same man that they heard in
the morning. One gentleman was re-
quested by his wife to attend another
church in the evening from their
accustomed one, but he would not go,
and went TO his own church and heard
the very man he refused to go with
his wife to hear. Such exchanges will
go along way in keeping churches in
harmony with each other.
