the following condensed figures on the
state of the treasury:
Treasury accounts for the month of
November indicate a slight net decrease
amounting to 1897 ,452. in the debt for
the month. The net cash balance
amounted to S3O.}2S,9lS. a decrease of
SGS2.4S2 for the month. Government re-
ceipts for the month amounted to S2S,-
,94,Gi5, a decrease of over 100000 as
compared with those for last month.
The expenditures for the month
amounted to $50, 74S, $50, a decrease of a
little Over Sl.lOO.0OO as compared with
those for the preceding month. Expendi-
lures for the month, 1t will be seen, showed
an excess over the receipts greater than
was shown last month. The receipts for
the five months Of the fiscal year which
have elapsed amounted to SlG2,6iO.9G9,
an increase Of nearly 5%lJ,OOO.OO AS com
pared with those for the corresponding

HI bulk of the increase was under the
head Of customs. The expenditures for
the five months amounted to 5lGl.OI3,-
100. an increase Of nearly 81 100000 over
those for the corresponding five months
OF the preceding fiscal year. Pensions
are mainly responsible for the increase.

A FEW readers of THE TRIBUNE
thought our structures on Jay Gould too
severe. AS a matter of fact they were
mild when compared with those of some
of the other papers of this country and
of England. For instance. the London
Standard said: THE charitable but hon
est biographer cannot show respect, how
ever, when the w%reckers of industries and
the Impoverished of little men is to be
Judged And the Daily Chronicle:
Gould appears to have been nothing
less than IA pest Of society. He was the
dynamiter of finance, although the MUIR
derous explosions that he caused were
profitable to himself" The almost uni
versal opinion Of the American press is
condensed in the following paragraph in
the New York World:
The bane of the social. intellectual
and spiritual life of America today is
the idolatrous homage of the golden
calf. In home and business. in politics
and the church, it obscures nobler
ideals and debases higher sentiments.
Nothing else has contributed so much
to promote this evil condition as the
apparent worldly success of Jay Gould.
1t has dazzled and deluded multi
tudes of Young men. Jails. insane
asylums and almshouses all over the
land are peopled with those who aspire
to wealth by similar methods. and with
their victims. These are but a fraction
of those who have been corrupted and
morally ruined. The majority are at
large, mingling with the community in
all the walks Of life. eYcusing, practising
and disseminating the vices OF which he
was the most conspicuous model in
modern times. The evil that men Go
lives after Them"

THE annexation idea is not dead in

remarkable language: The talk Of the

Victoria dies the ties between the do
miniou and the mother country will be
cut asundpr. The recent gathering at
which federation and other plans were
discussed contains a lesson which he
who runs may read. That gathering
showed clearly that the bulk of the pco-
pie are dissatisfied with the present
method of government. There are nu-
merous reasons for dissatisfaction. Just
imagine the governor general receiving
$4,000 IA year. To make the thing all
the more %aggravating every man who
gets any of the plumsi in the government
of the country is an Englishman. The
native paws the taxes and lives as best
he can. The heads of the chief banking
houses are English, and if You go to
have Il check cashed you must take oil
your hat to my lord, the cashier. The
strongest proof Of coming annexation is
to be found in the fact that there are at

not only not a clerical error" but it was
: a deliberate conspiracy to down Ameri-

the most logged opposition, the opposi-

selves to the devil to accomplish the
downfall of silver.
The industrial classes throughout the
world are beginning to feel the pressure,
and the note of alarm which has been
sounded in this country is swelling to a
tumult in England and Ireland. Other

Almost Resulted in Death.

Two Reynoldsville boys, Frederick
Johnston and Chester Belnap, both
about eight years old, found pint of
whiskey in Belnaps cupboard Monday
afternoon. The boys sampled the liquor
until there was very little left in the
bottle. Both lads become intoxicated.
Young Johnston must have taken the
largest sample, as II was matter of
life and death with him for awhile.
Johnston was found upon the street
about i:30 In a paralized condition. A
doctor was called who administered
antidotes, but not until three o'clock
Tuesday morning was the boy conscious.
The little fellow was in a critical condi-
tion for some time. The Belnap boy was
found In the barn, although very drunk,
yet not In dangerous condition.

We Need II.

avery important question now staring
the citizens of Reynoldsville in the
face is that of sewerage, and at no
distant day the people will find it nec-
essary to grapple the question in an
earnest manner If we are to become a
fiourishing town, and whether we will it
or not, a business boom is slowly, but
surely creeping in upon us. There are
many reasons why we should have a
good sewer system here, and there are
no reasons. save an outlay of little
cash, why we should not be thus pro-
tected from filth and disease that
accumulate where sewers are neglected
Not only the sewer question, but there
are others of Importance to the town
which we expect to devote space in
bringing before the people in the near
future. We do not want to give the
people an overdose of improvements at
one time and will, therefore, take up
one subject at time.

Trip to the Mountains.

The huckleberry party last week
composed Of Hays, Mincer, Westenburg,
Dunn, Rhodes, Schultze and Scott had
their first experience at West Liberty
when ''spalpeen" Of that place threw
piece OF iron and hit Mr.. Dunn on the
head, cutting hole through his hat
and into his head. After arriving
at their destination one of the horses
came very nearly going to ''horseland. .
but was induced to remain on this
mundane sphere little longer by hav-
ing quart Of rank liquid snake poison
killer" poured down its throat. The
fellow who had provided so carefully
against the reptiles bite, stood by with
sad countenance and watched the fire
water disappear. Nothing but the
thoughts of walking home could have
induced him to part with the liquor.

Never Could Read.

G. F. Hoffman, the jeweler and opti-
clan, may be an expert in fitting glasses
on the eyes, but he has learned by ex-
perience that he is unable to furnish
glasses that will enable man to read
who has sadly neglected his school day
opportunities and cannot distinguish
words and characters. The optician
tried two or three pair of glasses on his
patient, each time handing the gentle

Only a Lie.

II was rumored on the streets to con-
siderable extent that some women were
out in the Big Soldier berry patch last
week and there found a child about two
years old that had cried itself almost
to death and the women could find no
one who claimed the waif, and that one
of them brought the child home with
her. The little fellow could say papa, ~
mamma" and "Tommy." There were
other facts that would indicate that
there was some foundation in the
strange case. An investigation was
made by a representative Of this paper
and it was found to have been 'yarn"
spinned by one skilled in that especial
line. The only foundation for the story
was the fact that at least one woman
was at Big Soldier and heard baby
cry. Our informant thinks the baby
must have been forsaken by its mother,
but she did not go to see.

All for Five Dollars

The much talked OF McCreight-Ayres
false teeth case which was brought
so prominently before the public on the
eve OF Miss Ayres' marriage, was tried
before Esq. f. T. McGaw last Friday.
The participants In this hubbub are DR..
]. s. McCreight and Mrs. Leila Snyder,
nee Ayres. The charges against the
dentist were trespass and debonisas
portraits, and amount Of damage claimed,
s299.99t. Almost the entire day was
spent In giving testimony and hearing
the attorneys pleas. C.Mitchell appear
ed for the plaintiff and M. NJ. Davis for
the defendant. Esq. McGaw will with
hold his decision until the 3Oth inst.
DR.. McCreight done dentist work
for Miss Ayres almost one year ago.
A bill was presented and paid. but
at that time the teeth were on a
temporary plate and were after
wards placed on permanent plate.
The plaintiff claims the bill paid in
cluded the permanent plate, while the
defendant claims IL did not. The
matter was not satisfactorily adjusted
and on the evening before Miss Ayres
marriage the doctor called on the
young lady, as he was going away for
few days, and asked that the account
be settled. The young lady claimed
that as the five dollars was for repair
ing the teeth, that she did not owe IL
to him, and, therefore, would not pay
what she did not owe. She gave the
doctor the teeth to look at. The con-
versation waxed warm and the doctor
left the house with the teeth in his
possession, saying he would leave them
with justice and they could be return
ed to the mouth OF the soon to be bride
when the "V" was paid. The prospec-
tive bride employed another dentist
and before the dawning OF the delightful
day new set Of teeth was ready TO
be present at the wedding. Thus
the above case was the outcome
OF difference Of five dollars between
the parties. In all probability the
Judge of Jefferson county will hear
recital Of the entire case before the
ending thereof.

Announcements were made last week
in both the town papers, and quarter
sheet bills were posted up, stating the
Republicans of Reynoldsville borough

hall last Friday evening for the purpose
of organizing Republican marching
club. The meeting was a complete
fizzle. A friendly shower, lasting about
ten minutes, visited the town at eight

non-attendance of the Republicanism
