Hon. JAMES G.. BLAINE, the fore

cherished son and ablest adviser, now
lies PROSTATE, in his Washington home,
with a disease that threatens soon to
end his eminent ;nl estimablc career
and call him to rewards beyond. Not

when our levered, lamented Garfield

himself to be a successful leader Of

his great life work as Il most able and
distinguished public servant will even
remain as Il cherished heritage, an I'm.
disputed precedent, an unerring text
book on national and international
law and government, not only among
our own, but among all leaders and
governments of the world. When at
begun its rising in the eternal realm,
it's light will shine with new, resplen-
dant lustre, while its reflected rays will
more and more reveal the beauty and
and signal virtue OF his brilliant life
below until friend and foe unite in one
accord to call him blessed.

The solemn colera days have come,
The saddest of the year.
When summer wages all have flown,
And winters almost here.
When the price of coal is going up,
Ard the ice man looks quite solemn,
And chills and shivers work, on sliding scale
Up and down your spinal column.

Immediately commence tearing down
the old frame structure now standing
and will build two story brick. What
the new building will be used for is to
be found out In the future, as Mr.. Hays
is loath to tell. While we are unable to
inform our readers as to all the facts In
the case, yet we rejoice that the old
frame structure will be razed TO the
ground to give place TO brick building.
May the day hasten when many more
such transformations shall take place
In Reynoldsville.

A Weighty Body.

Reynoldsville has body of council
men that mean business, and will not
be trihed with. The Burgess and police
are not slow in enforcing the law. II
the present state OF affairs continue we,
as citizens of this borough, will have
TO be law abiding and as strict as the
Pharisee. After while a young man
will not even be allowed to burn a love
letter on the street, and as for the
housewife, she will not be permitted to
empty the contents of the family coffee
pot out Of the kitchen window. II is
barely possible that there will be ''let
up" before such strictness shall prevail,
although the law now forbids the burn
ing of paperon the streets. It is useless
to rebel, for II 1,l6i pounds, avoirdu-
pois, come down upon man he will
certainly be crushed. The average
weight of the council is 1874 pounds.
The heaviest 2i0 and the lightest 1874.

Erb's New Sensational Shows.

Glaring bills were posted in this
vicinity about the Tth inst. announcing
that Erb's New Sensational shows would
give one Of their superb exhibitions in
Reynoldsville on Saturday, May Il.
Saturday morning four wagons drawn
by fiery steeds that looked as II they
had been fed on promises and groomed
with corn.cobs, passed down Main street
and across the bridge to vacant lot near
the Moore House. II was discovered
that the lot was not In a fit condition
for such an excellent show To exhibit
upon, and therefore, another place was
looked for and found on the fiat below
jackson street. The wagons were haul
ed to the pl,sce selected. which had been
rented from lady, for five dollars, who
had no claim upon the land nor was she
authorized TO rent II. but did 80 as an
act Of accommodation TO Thomas Nc
Creight, the owner. Mr.. McCreight
was informed by his son that the show
was occupying his ground. He appear
ed on the scene and in gentlemanly
way, as is MFR. McCreight's way OF doing
business, he inquired of them what right
they had there and who gave them per-
mission to occupy the ground. Mr..
McCreight asked ten dollars for the
privilege Of remaining. One of the
showmen, in a snappish, snarling man
ner, gave Mr.. McCreight an invitation
to take trip to hades. The property
owner Immediately started for 'Squires
office to have the trespassers arrested.
Seeing they had a man TO deal with
who was not to be trifled with, they
followed him and became very polite
and talked pleasantly. The price of the
ground was raised to $1,000. After con-
siderable pleading on the part Of the
public entertainers a compromise was
secured and they paid $1,000. On ac-
count Of having trouble in getting a
place to show, there was no perform
ance on the ground in the afternoon
excepting the exhibition of the illit-
crate, uncouth and profane gang trav-
cling with the prodigious representa-
tion Of what it was not. Some of the
stars are Dubois boys. The rain pre-
vented the African from taking trip
in his balloon. The band played and
the show went on in the evening, how
ever. II the clouds did empty their
watery contents upon the canvas, and,
not strange to say, they had large
crowd, but it is hard to find any one who
was there.

near Thos. Shields house newspaper

up in the brisk breeze and frightened

to go the other way. Amelia lost her

screamed and grabbed the horns Of the
saddle and the pony made hasty return
trip down the hill. Those who Witness

zenith at noontide to become an expert

peared behind the western hills.

The Prohibitionists of this place held

meeting opened with a song by Lilly

Lancaster, State Chairman Of the Pro

thirty minutes on the claims the Prohi-
bition party had upon American people,
especially upon the professed christian
people OF the land Miss Runal recited
"The Kitchen Clock" A collection was
asked for. "The Cows are i'm the Corn" 4"

explained the Baker Law and the meet
ing closed with a recitation by Miss
Runals entitled "Rock of Ages" Miss

Ninety Miles on Foot.

Several weeks ago a young Miss of
fourteen summers, who resided with her
parents in Venango county, became
weary of the monotOnous routine OF
every day life under the parental roof
and restraint, and decided to take a
trip into Jefferson county and visit
relatives near Reynoldsville. She pack
ed her little grip" and, with seventy
five cents in her purse, sailed forth to
travel distance Of ninety miles on
foot. She left home without bidding
the other members of the family an
affectionate farewell, in fact without
even announcing her proposed journey
to her parents. The father OF Nellie
Micough after missing his daughter
started in pursuit of the girl but passed
her in some way and arrived in Reyn-
oldsville without catching her. He
left written description of the girl
with the authorities here with instruc-
tions to arrest her. The maiden left
home on Tuesday and on Thursday of
the following week was intercepted on
Jackson street by Policeman Mincer
and taken before Squire McGaw. The
girl at first gave a ficticious name. She
said she walked because she would
rather travel that way than ride on the
cars. How she lived on her pleasure
trip, was not revealed to the authori-
ties. The father was telegraphed of
her arrival. He answered to give her
in charge Of the relatives to whom she
was on her way to visit. Now she is
enjoying a visit on farm near this
place.

into the agreement made by leather
dealers at New York recently to close

merry may shut down for a short time,

One New School Building Sure

The school directors have decided to
build one new school building at least
and will give the citizens, by special
election an opportunity to vote as to
whether two new buildings, one in each
end of town, shall be erected i'm place of
one. AS to the location of the new
house, II only one, we are unable to state.
The board, as mentioned last week, look
ed around for sites and have in view
lot near the Sankey property on Jackson
street, for the east end building, and
lot near G. G. Gibson's property on Hill
street, for west end. The board meets
either this or tomorrow evening and will
then come to some definite conclusion.
They will do what they consider the best
for all concerned. but If they were to lis
ten to the many suggestions offered as
to how this question should be settled.
they would have conglomeration of
ideas that would be sufficient to confound
steam engine. THE STAR will not ad-
wise these gentlemen, who have been
elected to their position by the people,
what they should do-as we think it
would be useless. 1t is an important
question and should be viewed only i'm
the light Of the future benefit of our
thriving town, and not in the interest of
one man or one end of town. Whatever
action the board may take in the matter
they will be censured by some people.
There are always people who see things
their way and no other.

HotIy Contested Kentucky Derby Won
by u Louisville Horse.
LOUISVILLE, May 12-The cold. cloudy
weather kept the attendance at yester-
days races somewhat under the usual
Derby day crowd. The track was in fair
condition. Irish Chief and Bashford were
scratched, leaving but three starters for
the Derby, and the race was generally
conceded to the CorrigaD entry, as ARA
was not thought to be in a condition for a
race at the distance. The post odds were:
Phil Dwyer and Huron coupled 4 to 8, on
Azra, z 7to5.
Phil Dwyer went out from the start as
pace maker, and maintained the lead by
three TO live lengths for half the distance.
Here Huron and ARA closed up, and the
three were well punched at the end of the
first mile. Coming into the stretch Phil
Dwyer was done for, and Huron took the
lead by length from ARA.
When Strengthened out for the run in,
Huron AMI ARA were Tapped. and it was
hammer and tongs race for the last
quarter. At the eighth pole they were
head and head, and both driving, and
from this point until the wire was reached
1t looked as If dead heat would be the
result. Azra got his nose in front of the
wire, however, and won by short head.
The victory was a popular one, as this
was the first time in the history of the
De rby that n Louisville horse has won the
race. AZra's time was 2:4i ~.
