Better Roads.

The Clarion Republican expresses
itself as follows on the road question:
"The subject of roads is getting to be
an important one; much discussed
one. And well 1t might. 1t is not the
cities simply which should have good
thOrOughfares, but the country towns
Good roads means less power to pull a
load. BY good roads the farmer can get
his product to market at one-third less
cost. Is not this great gain? The
merchant may not drive fast horse,
but he is interested in having good
roads for his suburban customers to
drive over. II good roads mean less
power, less wear and tear on vehicles,
and less time to get to and from market,
then why is not reasonable outlay

The Timid Man.

The man that goes around all the time
on tip-toe, timid and fearful, anxious to

about 1t, hushing this one lest some
thing may happen and encouraging
timidity and repression in another when
a storm is coming, running away from
duty when "trouble" threatens, pad
lock on his lips, is the very one to see a
stormy ocean and help make it. Out
upon such babyhood. Go ahead, and do
your duty. Don't think of trouble, nor
expect it. Treat people generously
confiding in them, and not stealthily
opening closet doors to hunt up skele-
tons. When "trouble" comes don't be
afraid of 1t, but meet it squarely, deal
ing with it in a concilatory but brave
and open spirit, and in a manly way.

THREE NEW ORDINANCES.
canvassers and Tfansients will Pay into
the Borough Golfer.

The Councilmen met at Thos. II.
Scott's Office on Monday evening and
disposed Of the business that came
before them. Three ordinances were
presented and become law. One was
for canvassers or those who solicit
orders for almost all salablc articles.
Three dollars per day will be the
amount asked by the borough for such
privilege. Ordinance No. 9 provides
for transient business. The party or
parties who come here TO do business
for short time will be required to pay
not less than twenty-five dollars per
month. Ordinance No. 3 is the fire
limit law. which embraces Main street
to Cole alley, at the Baptist church.
All persons who hereafter erect wooden
buildings within the fire limit will have
to pay the borough three hundred dol
lars.
The three new ordinances are good
ones and the council deserve credit for
passing them. Men soliciting orders
for various articles have become
entirely too numerous in Reynoldsviile.
The people are most generally swim
died, and then the men who are In
business here and who help support the
town and its institutions heretofore
have had no protection from such
intruders. Hereafter the 'installment
plan gentlemen and all other agents
will pay their three dollars per day or
not play. The fire limit il one that
should have been born years ago for the
beauty OF the town and good of all con-
cerned.
A petition was presented to the

take some action in having Main street

viii Expend $s,ooo.oo.

The directors of the Reynoldsville
water company met In Squire Davis
Office last Thursday evening and trans
acted business of Importance. They
decided TO lay about two mile more Of
water main. The pipe will be extended
to Cold Spring Hollow, up Worth street
to the borough limit and across Sandy
Lick TO West Reynoldsville. The work
will be done before snow flies. A new
sixty horse power boiler will be put In
at the pump house and a larger main
will be laid from the pumps to the
reservoir. The company expect to
build n brick boiler house and smoke
stack. Between five and six thousand
dollars will be expended by the'company.
The water works are great credit
to the town. Reynoldsville is rather
tardy in making improvements, but
when we do get out of the lethargic
atmosphere things are done about
right. People were timid about the
water works being one Of the towns
improvements and now they would not
think of doing without the excellent
supply of water OF which we can boast.

Sunday School Picnic.

The M. f.. Sunday school held their
annual picnic in the Electric Park at
Dubois last Friday. Five cars were
chartered and the tickets were sold at
the nominal sum Of five and ten cents,
and were sold only to the members OF
the church. The school is so large
that outsiders could not be included in
the excursion. The railroad company
were unable to furnish more than four
cars going to the picnic, but five were
used coming home. Five hundred
people were packed into four coaches.
Everything passed of pleasantly until
after the little chaps had enjoyed the
good things provided to satisfy a
juvenile picnickers appetite and the
officers and teachers Of the school were
eating dinner when heavy storm
came up and caused a great commotiOn
in the large pavilion, where the tables
had been set. The rain, wind, light
ming and thunder joined together to
make the storm a furious one, while
babys cried, boys and girls screamed
and women got extremely nervous,
others stood around with both hands
full Of eatables munching away. The
sight was indeed an amusing one, and
some who are usually nervous during
heavy storms could not help but laugh
at the scene. After dinner the picnic
ground was entirely deserted and the
afternoon was spent in various ways
until five o'clock when the homeward
trip was made.
The Electric Park is an excellent
place to hold picnic and Mr.. f. G.
Bostwick, superintendent Of the street
car lines, who is a very pleasant and
accommodating gentleman, personally
looks after the comforts OF the picnick-
ers at their park.

Dashed into Coal Cars.

Engine 3. the iron horse with which
John Murphy has hauled passengers
over the Low Grade for many years, was
stripped of its power at Oak Ridge last
Wednesday morning by dashing into
some coal cars that had been pushed too
close to the main track by the Oak
Ridge company's engine. The switch is
on a sharp curve and the engineer did
not see the danger until within about 10
feet of it, but he did not desert the engine
he loves next to his wife and family.
The air brakes were applied, but the
train had been speeding along at two
minute rate and could not be stopped
until the engine, baggage car and
smoker were ready for repairs. Barring
a good shaking up, no one was much
the worse for the accident, yet two
or three of the trainmen had narrow
escapes. Engine was Immediately
sent to the shops at Verona as a dead
engine" The east bound mail was
three hours late at this place on account
of the wreck. Railroad accidents,
especially to passenger trains, are an
uncommon occurrence on this road. 1t
was on this same curve that the disas-
ferrous collision between a passenger
and freight train occurred early in the
history of the road.

Badly Frightened.

An individual who is visiting friends
in town imbibed freely of "tangle-foot"
last Friday and late in the evening got
into John Beck's residence on Grant
street and gave Mrs. Beck quite a
fright. She was up stairs putting her
children to bed when the drunken man
entered the house, left his coat in the
front room, took of his shoes and socks
in the kitchen, went up stairs quietly
and was just ready to get into bed
when Mrs. Beck heard slight noise
in the room adjoining the one in which
she and the children were in. She said,
is that you John?" and the answer
she received was emphasized with an
oath, 81 am going to bed" Mrs. Beck,
though badly frightened, ordered the
man to dress himself and get out Of the
house Immediately, in the mean time
she was not long in getting down stairs.
The fellow reluctantly re-dressed, but
not very rapidly, as he had turned his
pantaloons inside out when taking them
of, and-''hic"-he ''hic"-
get in them again without considerable
difficulty. The old gentleman had bet
ter be more careful in entering houses
for he may either get a warm reception
or be put to bed at hotel de Hays.

A SAD ACCIDENT.
A Little Prattler Meets Death in a Water
Closet.

John Braund, coal miner, was called
home from his work last Thursday
afternoon to hear the sad news that his
darling little girl, merely a babe, had
met n horrible death In the water closet
vault. Mary Ann was the little child's
name and she was about eighteen
months old. While the mother was
making preparations to attend the M.
T.. Sunday school picnic to be held Mt
Dubois on Friday, Mary had gone to
the closet and fallen through the hole
into the vault. Mrs. Braund missed
her daughter and could not find her.
II was announced to the neighbors that
the child was lost and thorough
search was made. The lifeless body
was found in the vault. In place of
attending the picnic on Friday the
sOrrow-strickcn parents followed the
remains Of their darling little girl TO
Beulah, the silent city of the dead.
The funeral services were held at the
residence Of the parents at three o'clock
Friday afternoon, conducted by Rev.
+. T. Derr. Thus in the very morning
of life, in the bloom of health, little
flower from an earthly home was trans
planted into the Beulah-land OF eternal
Joy and happiness When the parents
least expected the messenger Of death
visited their home.

ELECTRIC LIGHT.
Good Prospects for a Street Car Line and
Park

There is no secret In the fact that
Reynoldsville is coming TO the front
rapidly and the growth is not a "Jonas'
gourd" affair. but substantial one.
The citizens are rather slow about
grasping the fact that this town has a
bright future, yet they are commencing
to see the glimmering on the horizon
and will soon bc more willing 10 put
their shoulders to the wheel and help
along anything that will be for the
towns best interest. We were inform
cd on Saturday by gentleman who has
money 10 invest and who Is becoming
interested In the project, that the
prospects are very good for an electric
plant In Reynoldsville and street car
line. The same gentleman says there
Is piece of land near the suburbs that
will make an excellent park There
are no reasons under the sun why we
should not have our town illuminated
with electric lights; and IA street car
line would certainly be Il paying invest
ment.
Now when this thing is agitated let
all the old croakers in town get up In
line and hold up their hands In horror
and exclaim loudly, II will be II failure!
will sink money. the town cannot afford
1t! &C., &C., then pack their grips and
seek some quiet nook in the rural
district out Of the din Of live town
that will not be circumscribed. The
great trouble with Reynoldsville has
always been a fear held by her citizens
Of investing money in anything that
had the least taint Of financial
venture. II is right that man make
wise investments with that for which
he has laborcd, but when there is little
or no risk at all, then cold water should
not be thrown upon any efforts that
others might suggest. The town will
be just what the citizens make IT, II
we get street ear line within year
after II is running the citizens will
think they were foolish for not having
such transportation long ago.

Electric Light on BattIefields.

The ubiquity of electricity is becoming
almost proverbial. From the brightest
spot on earth" to the blood stained battle
fields is rather far cry, but there is no
end to the application of electricity. A
recent telegram from Austria described
some experiments of great interest
which have recently been carried out
successfully there. The difficulty of
searching for the wounded on the night
after a great battle has been one which
has long occupied the attention of mill
tary refOrmers, and the army medical
service in Austria has been endeavOring
to determine how far the electric light
may be utilized for this humane end.
The value of powerful search lights
with refectors has been proved in naval
affairs, and at Suakim and elsewhere
soldiers have found them very effective
on open ground. They would be equal
ly effective under similar conditions for
assisting in picking up the wounded.
but when the battle has ragged over a
wide extent of country, or when the
fighting has occurred amid woods and
brushwood, the use of this class of light
is attended with acknowledgements
