Accept Our Thanks.

The exchanges that come to this
office have given very complimentary
notices of the bright, newsy, and neat
typographical appearance Of THE STAR.
and not only our newspaper brethren,
but many people of Reynoldsville and
elsewhere have kind words TO say for
the twinkling infant in newspaperdom.
For the words Of praise we are very
grateful, and will endeavor to keep
apace with the times that we may
always merit the distinction of being
worthy place among our exchanges,
and that the people of Reynoldsville and
vicinity may appreciate The STAR to
the extent of n years subscription.
Food given to a hungry man, with
words of sympathy and encouragement,
can appease the cravings of an appe-
tite where words of sympathy would be
Of no account, so words of praise accom-
panied with an order for ayears' subscrip-
tion, advertisement, or job work will
go farther in a newspaper ofiice-in
fact touch the vitality of the office
than w.rds alone for they are "as sound
ing brass or a tinkling symbol"
The subscription list is growing. We
have subscribers at Washington. ID. c.,
Brooklyn, N. Y, Niagara Falls and
Springfield, Mo.
We again say we are thankful to our
exchanges and friends for their praise
and encouragement.

Last Sad Rites.

The funeral services OF John Bone

to stand. Rev. w. p. Murray conduc-
ted the services in the church and at
the cemetery, the /. o. o. F. performed
their ceremony over the earthly re-
mains of one who had been united with
them in the fraternal bonds of "Friend-
ship, Love and Truth" The interment
took place in the Pleasant Avenue ceme-
terry.
The floral contributions were beauti-
full, and were formed into cross and pill
low. The cross was presented by Will

ber of Dubois friends of the deceased,
The mines were all closed to give the
men an opportunity to follow the re-
mains of a fellow laborer to their last
resting place.

called upon to try the realities Of the
vast eternal world, was soon to be
married to Miss Emma Lee, of Durham

Merchants Protective Association.

Twenty-Five business men of Reynolds
vile are members OF the Merchants
Protective Association. This associa-
tion was organized just recently and
meets the second Tuesday evening Of
each month. The object of this organ
ization Is to protect the merchants from
that class of people who buy and never
pay, or, In other words, professional
dead BEATS The names of those who
refuse to pay their account are sent into
the association and the delinquents are
notified by the association to call
and settle the amount or make satisfac-
tory arrangements for the settlement of
the same. This notice is repeated
several times and II no attention is paid
to it then the name of the non-payer is
placed ON the black list which is issued
every sixty days and a copy sent to
each member of the association. Thus
each business man is made acquainted
with those who refuse to pay their bills.
A penalty of twenty dollars is imposed
upon any member of the association who
gives such persons credit. When a man
asks for credit the merchant gets his list
looks it over and II the name of the one
who seeks credit appear thereon, he is
informed that the list of creditors Of
that establishment is as long as they
wish to make it, hence no credit ID
granted to fellow who will not pay. r
all Reynoldsville merchants were to joir
this association the professional dead
beats" would be driven out Of the towr
and business men be more successful
and customers buy their goods for les,
| money.

Get the Western Spirit.

One of the necessary means adapted
to the welfare of town Is local pride
and zeal. Boston has the reputation Of
being the e"hub of the universe, but every
resident of every town and city should
consider his own particular home the
'hub." 1t is especially true of the west
that local pride builds up the new places
and sustains the old. Reynoldsville
should be behind no town in this re-
spect. Few places have a larger possi-
bility of growth and prosperity than
does our town. We ought to look to
the future as well as the present in
making plans for building up the inter-
ests of Reynoldsville. The proper pride
and enterprise on the part of our people
would add largely to our population
in the immediate future.
Let no town lead us in matters Of
improvement, let no town lead us in
efforts to give employment to labor and
build up home industry! Let us get the
breezy, progressive western spirit and
then, though Reynoldsville may not be
the 'hub of the universe" we will
rejoice in being, figuratively speaking,
the felloe; for through we may refuse to
believe that "the sun do move" we may
discover that we do move-in the right
direction-on in growth and success,
towards the goal Of our fondest desires.

Jacob Henninger, the street commits

below the opera house Saturday.
The hogs had been hauled there by
some one who was too lazy to bury them
and were not discovered by the author
tiles until they were so decomposed
that it was impossible to remove the
swine and, therefore, a hog cemetery,
on small scale, was established. II
those who be in authority were sure Of
the guilty parties, they would think IL

long since five or six hogs were thrown
into the Sandy Lick near the place
where the two were found making SC

PRICE ONE CENT
The Assor Fortune.

It is believed that the estimate Of &60,-
O00, 900 which is made of the shares OF
his fathers estate which John Jacob
Astor received is under the mark. Upon
the division of the property which Will
liam b. Astor left his two sons. William
Astor's share was inventoried at about
e60.OOO,OO0, and while his family have
lived expensively, yet they did not be-
Ein 10 spend his income. and although
he did nothing TO increase his wealth,
the yearly accumulations are believed
to have increased the property by some
$l5.000.000. Deducting from this the
f6,O00.000 given to his daughters, or
s., ,0O0, 600 apiece, and the charge on the
estate of $500, 200 year for the benefit
of his widow, 1t would still leave for
John Jacob Astor between COS, ,000, 900
and so, 600, 900.
1t is not the amount, however, which
the young man receives that causes spc-
cial interest The sum is SO Large that a
million either way is of little account.
The question which interests people here
Is what is John Jacob Astor going 10 do
with his property2 II he becomes, as his
cousin William Waldorf has, man of
keen business instinct, he will have 10
change remarkably. He has one trait
of the Astors perhaps more strongly de
veloped than it was in any of the others,
and ii is a trait which in some men
would be called parsimoniousness. He
Is an extremely close figurer, and is of
such disposition that when he secures
dollar he feels like making it a prisoner
for life. Whether he branches out as
daring and conspicuous builder of real
estate properties or not his fortune is
certain to increase steadily, because no
rich man in New York, not even Russell
Sage, will figure more carefully over his
expenditures, both personal and bust
ness, than John Jacob Astor will do.--

M Find. Preclou, Metnls.

Mr.. Andrew Thompson has made an
instrument resembling in its appearance
the oil well locator, which will locate
gold or silver ore. This instrument will
act on these metals whether in orc deep
in the earth or in the shape of coin or
jewelry. Gold and silver money was
placed on the floor and the instrument
quickly located it. The coin was then
placed high above the floor and its loca-
tion was quickly and accurately deter
mined. 1t was also tried ON gold and
silver ore with the same result. Many
inducements have been offered Mr.
Thompson to disclose the secret OF the
little machine, but he has refused all
offers, some of them very liberal ones.
He has selected well known resident
of the south side, TO whom he intends
before he dies to impart the secret of the
unattractive looking but most potent
machine. The gentleman designated to
receive this important trust as yet knows
nothing about the instrument except its
effects. He can handle 1t with as much
dexterity as Mr.. Thompson, but posses
ses no knowledge of tho machine other

j. A. McConville, who lives on Mon

gets, the total amount gathered from the
thirty-one hens being 1887. 50--an aver
age of $12.50 head. The gold was sent
to the State National bank and pro-
nounced eighteen carat fine.

fifty more chickens and turned them
out ON the gold fields in the vicinity of
