Denver r,SCol., last week from Harry
J. Cartin, formerly of this place, now Of
Denver.
A Presbyterian congregation in
Pittsburg, looking for pastor, has its
gospel-eye turned towards Brookville
where DIR. Conway resides. Whether
the doctor will get u call and accept is
one Of the uncertainties.
A statement was made in THE STAR
several weeks ago that the output Of
coal at the Sprague mine had been
increased three or four tons since
Richard Taaf was put in as mine boss.
Tho increase has been three or four
hundred, not that many tons.
Rev. N. w. Stephens. of Dubois,
the new rector for the Episcopal
congregation at this place and Dubois,
filled the pulpit at Rcynoldsvillc for the
first time last Sunday. His people
here are favorably impressed with him
and think they will like him.
Ed. G. Lewis Of this place Is great
| hunter. He dcvOtes considerable time
in trapping for bear in the vicinity Of
Bcnczctte where he generally sets seven
bear traps and about fifty or sixty traps
| for small game. Mr.. Lewis has caught
as high as eleven bruins in one year.
He left here yesterday morning for his
usual hunting grounds.
Saturday night Michael Devine. an
cmployc at the Berwind-Whitc shaft at
Dubois, met sudden death by falling
from the top of the shaft to the bottom.
He had just been drawn out of the pit
and was dizzy and fell out Of the bucket
with above results. He had been an
emyloye at Homestead but on account
of the labor troubles there went to
Dubois about the middle of August
He was II young man.
A few Of our citizens looked through
bits of smoked glass last Thursday at
the shadow on the sun. At one o'clock
Il considerable portion of the great
illuminator Of day was eclipscd but
shortly after that hour clouds partially
obscured the sight. They were not
dense enough, however, to totally hide
the sun and through the ''rifts in the
clouds" occasional glimpses of the
phenomena could be seen.
Prof. Harry Pattison, formerly prin-
cipal Of the Reynoldsville schools, is the
Democratic nominee for county super
| intendent Of schools of Whatcom county,
Washington state. The professor has
the required ability rs an educator and
has had considerable experience, he
also has good executive power. There
is no doubt If he is elected but what he
will fill the position creditably and do
excellent work for the people of that
county. The Independent of New
| Whitcom speaks in the most compli-
mentary terms of the ex-Reynoldsvillc
principal.
1t was rumored that the ITO A. M.
train northward bound on the b., II. &
p. Ry was to be taken Off. The report
was false one and the train will be
kept on. The superiluous train agents,
however, have been discontinued, which,
by the way, will not inconvenience the
travelling public in the least. A man
who has served his time as a brakeman
and freight train conductor is deserving
Of all the honor and remuneration
connected with the position of a
passenger train conductor. Therefore,
we are glad to see the b., r. & p. R'y
men get their just dues.
The semi-annual session OF the Jeffer-
son County Sunday School Association,
which was held at Brockwayville last
week, had the largest attendance of
delegates of any previous session. The
conventions are usually attended by
ladies. The meetings will become
more interesting If the people who are
put on the program do not allow little
excuses to keep them away and thus
dissappoint those who do attend.
Persons who promise to take part in
the exercises and allow their names to
be put on the program should not
remain at home and send in some
trivial excuse.
Manager Reynolds has contracted
| with Col. Theodore HOpDenheimer In
produce his comedy that has made all
London scream with delight for 1906
performances. Most of the London
company will be in the cast, especially
Londons favorite prima donna, Miss
Lille La Rose. The name of this
comedy is "Widow Murphy's Goat"
1t is said to be a genuine cure for the
blues. There is laugh in every
