A Genial Host.

Frank ]. Black, proprietor of Hotel
Mcconnell, sent us a choice piece Of
venison yesterday, for which we are
thankful. The host of Hotel McC Connell
is genial young man and runs house
that will compare favorably with many
in large cities. An agent remarked to
q business man in town several weeks
ago that he would travel hundred
miles to stop at Hotel Mcconnell under
its present management. Mr.. Black
had nine kinds of meats, besides most
everything else you could think of that
was eatable, served at his tables for
Thanksgiving dinner.

The Doings of a Modest Man.

A gentleman, blessed with a large
heart, who devotes his time tilling n
good farm near Panic, called at THE
STAR Office last Wednesday and left
box in which was a fat turkey. The
donor being modest man forbid
us mentioning his name in the
paper. Through his kindness we were
privileged to partake of turkey for
Thanksgiving dinner. The fowl was
left in the Office for several hours and
its "gobble, gobble" was so lamentable
that II touched tender cord in the
Office ''devil's" heart and he would have
opened the box and given the turkey
one more chance to escape with its life
before Thanksgiving, but he feared the
thirty-fve cents coming to him would
be spent to furnish meat in place of
turkey. We are very thankful to the
kind hearted farmer who lives south OF
here, and yet he is always North, who
furnished us with an excellent turkey
feast.

A Sly Fellow.

A genteel fellow ''worked"the borough
authorities last week in peddling with
out license, but as soon as he ''smelled
mouse" he had business elsewhere.
He had his overcoat pocket full Of
spectacles and walked up and down
Main street keeping an eagle eye open
for victims, generally looking for people
from the country, and he would "button-
hole them and offer eight and ten
dollar glasses for one or two dollars, the
price varying as the victim seemed
willing to buy. The frames were gold,
at least so represented by the fakir.
People are always ready for bargains
for the sharper-and this fellow found
sale for his spectacles. In the first
place, If person needs glasses at all
they want to get their eyes examined
and get glasses that will be of some
benefit and not ruin their sight entirely.
We only get two eyes in this world and
thereof with something that is cheap.
Better buy from an optician. In the
second place, you can buy just as good
spectacles at our jewelry stores for
about twenty-five cents, minus the gold
wash-which would cost five or ten
cents-as the aforementioned fakir sold
for one and two dollars. Be wary of
big bargains offered by smooth-tongued
street fakirs or agents. Buy from
people who do business here and who
will give you the worth Of your money.
The great bargains offered by strangers
who are here one day and gone the
next, are invariably one sided, the
bargain goes with the stranger. Reyn-
oldsville has not been infested with so
many installment agents, fakirs, &C.,
since the three dollar-a-day ordinance
has gone into effect, and it is a good
thing for the town and the people
therein.

She TAINTED.

Mrs. w. G. Elliott, wife of the editor
Of the Volunteer, met with mishap one
day last week that might have proven
very serious. She had her little
daughter in her arms and shawl
thrown over her shoulders and in
attempting to turn the gas down
in an open CRATE tainted and fell.
When she returned to consciousness her
little baby was lying on the floor
beside her making the best possible
use of its crying machine. Mrs. Elliott,
Of course, has no idea how long she
remain unconscious. She might just as
easily have fallen into the fire and both
she and the daughter been cremated.

The Protection Of Game.

Steps are being taken to form a
society in Reynoldsville and vicinity to
enforce the game laws OF our state. 1t
is said that the law is disregarded by
many. The game in this vicinity is
almost extinct partially because Of
illegal hunting. The law allows hunting
for animals as follows: Elk and deer,
Oct. LIST to Dec. 18th; squirrels, Sept. 1st
to Jan. lst; hares and rabbits, Nov. 1st
to Jan. 1st. The penalty for hunting
out of season is, elk and deer, $50, ,0O;
squirrel, $500; hare or rabbit, $500;
and $1,000 for hunting hare or rabbit
with ferrets. The law specifies certain
times for hunting wild turkeys, ducks,
plovers, woodcock, quail, ruffed grouse
or pheasant, rail and reed birds; also
allows certain seasons for fishing. The
above mentioned society should be
organized and the law enforced.
Twenty-Five dollars is the penalty for
shooting, hunting or fishing on Sunday.

Both Flimsy,

The Dubois Courier made weak
attempt last Thursday morning to
defend the Mitchell Speciality Co. which
was managed by former "tea peddler,"
by trying to be sarcastic about THE
STARS stage critic. Our morning friend
was very careful not to mention the fact
that the Big Co. was composed of Dubois
talent, but trifled with the truth by
saying that the company started out
from this place. The company, We are
pleased to say, rightly belongs to
Dubois. Reynoldsville has no desire to
claim such company. The manager
OF the Dubois Mitchell Specially Co.,
which showed at Rathmel, Sykesville
and Big Run, made statement in the
Courier Friday morning and said that
THE STAR and Dubois Express both
lied, and advised us to attend to our
own business, which we were doing or
else our readers would never have
heard of the ''tea peddler's" great
company. We were not guilty Of
accusing the fellow of losing much in
the venture, because we did not credit
him with having much to lose. A
Reynoldsville gentleman advanced 81. so
to the manager on Monday to send
telegraphic money order for $l.20-
using 80 cents to send the message-to
get his company from Dubois to
Rathmel that afternoon.

TheWomans Relief Corps of this place
has frequently given entertainments
in the Reynolds opera house but the
Chestnut Recital" last Saturday even
ing was the most successful, financially
and for pure unadulterated fun, of any
previous one. The opera house was
packed and many were unable to get
into the building with any comfort.
The orchestra was composed Of violin
lists who made music for country 'ho
downs" many years ago. The young
people who were on the program had
selections that were real old, but they
did so nicely that the audience was well
pleased, and some OF the older ones
who were put on merely as huge joke,
surprised the people by surprising what
was expected of them. Below we give
the names of all who assisted In making
the entertainment success: Cap. Il. G.

Lillian McCreight, Miss May Iseman,
Miss Ruth Reynolds, Miss Weston,

Celestial Pyrotechnics.

A number of our citizens looked at
the celestial pyrotechnics last Wednes-

Three People Killed Under the Grant
Monument in Chicago.
CHICAGO, June 16.-Three persons
were killed, two seriously injured and
some forty more stunned bya fash of
lightning which struck the Grant mon
ument in Lincoln park, tonight.
The killed are: Lewis Meyer, Mrs.
Shelby and an unknown man.
The injured are Harry Phillips and
Mrs. Matte Olson.
The catastrophe was the result OF
severe electrical storm, during which
the people who had congregated in the
park took refuge in the vaults under the
monument. The storm began with
slight shower, which rapidly devel-
oped into asmall hurricane, accompanied
by the downpour Of rain, vivid flames Of
lightning and terrific peals of thunder.
When the storm was at it's height, q
binding flash struck the, statue, TAX
ing a course directly through the little
crowd underneath. Everybody, with
the exception of three men, vas thrown
from his feet. None, however, suffered
further injury than a severe stunning,
with the exception OF those named.
The lightning did not strike the
bronze figure of Grant. and the damage
to the monument will be covered by a
few dollars.

THE CANADIAN CYcLoNE.

Awful Destruction and Loss of Life
Along the st. Lawrence.
STE. ROSE, Quebec, June 16. Further
intelligence of Tuesdays great cyclone
shows that the destruction and loes of
life was not confined to this place, but
spread to many places in the vicin-
ity. Advices from Ste. Phriem state
that that district was devastated
by terrible storm. In the parish of
st. Nazaire, the inhabitants suffered
most. The house of Anselm Houle was
demolished. His wife and children,
four in number, were buried in the
ruins. The babe was killed in the
mothers arms, and the woman herself
and other children were badly,
perhaps fatally injured. The house
of Alphonse Miquette was wrecked; one
child was killed, and three others badly
hurt. At Ste. Helene fifty-two build
ings were wrecked and fifteen persons
wounded, some seriously. Great dam
age is also reported from ActonvilIe,
Varenness and other places in the vicin-
ity.

same cause.-the breakup Of the Liberal

der of the Peoples or Mormon party.
+. L. Williams of Salt Lake, who is here
with the sitting members, talked about
the situation this evening. He said
the TACT was the contestants were not
democrats at all. Henderson and Caine,
ne said, represent the real party.
The other gentlemen, he asserted, rep
resent only small Liberal following.
Mr.. Atwood, of Ogden, on the other
hand, declares that the convention will
have to uphold the Ferry delegation.
There seems to be no serious difference
among any of the contestants on any
question, but entry into the convention
and recognition by the party. The
preference of each seems to be Cleve-
land.
Utah will favor silver plank similar
to that passed by the Wisconsin state
convention, strongly endorsing bimetal-
lism and establishing q fixed ratio. 1t
will also request admission into the
union and ask for the same privilege for
New Mexico.

ST. PAUL, June 16.-A storm OF wind
and rain, which in come sections devel-
oped into veritable cyclone, laid waste
the southern central portion of the state
late yesterday afternoon, and it will be
some days before the full extent of the
disaster is known. That there has been
loss of life, is beyond question, but time
alone can tell how many lives were lost.
Jackson, Martin, Faribault, Freehorn
and Blue Earth counties we're the scene
of the disaster, although the storm was
very general all over the state.
The cyclone began to form near Jack
son. and after sweeping across Martin
and Faribault counties, scattered near
Wells and took northeasterly course !;
suddenly it swept to the south and dis
appeared below Wells.
The loss of life will be very large,
some estimates running as high as 100.
Although that is the extreme fig
ure, it seems more probable that
forty or fifty lives were destroyed,
but the exact number cannot be
given tonight. Everything in the path
of the storm was swept from the earth,
houses and barns being splintered, trees
and telegraph poles snapped off like
pipestems and debris strewn along the
railroad tracks, 80 that where traffic was
not interfered with by washouts it was
blocked by wrecked buildings and trees.
A freight train which left Mankato last
night discovered house on the track, a
flash OF lightning revealing its presence
Just in time to avoid wreck. An ex-
animation of the surroundings revealed
half dozen people lying among the
broken timbers, all seriously and some
fatally hurt.
Along the Milwaukee road from Jack
son to Minnesota lake the scene is one
of great devastation. Wrecks Of houses,
barns and torn up forests line the road,
and families united yesterday, today are
mourning not only over the death OF
injury Of loved ones, but also for the
loss OF crops.
