Has Always Been Enterprisinp.

Frank j. Black had not advanced far
in his teens when he went into the con-
fectionery and stationery business with
his father in Reynoldsville. Frank was
full OF push and made the business q
success and soon bought his fathers
interest and "went IL alone" He
bought an interest in the Reynoldsville
Paper and soon owned the entire plant
himself, and was not only the brightest
editor OF his age in this section, but also
took an active part in politics when he
was not even old enough to vote. He
was always to the front in whatever he
undertook to do. Frank j. is now pro-
prietor OF Hotel Mcconnell and he has
built up good reputation for his house
among the travelling public. At pres
ent several men from the Blake Elec-
trio Co., of Penn Yam, N. Y, are at
work putting in an electric bell system
which connects twenty-four rooms with
the office so that the guests can ring for
what they want, and the clerk in the
office can awaken the guests by touch
ing button and ringing bell in the
room OF the guest to be called, and
when the bell is started in the room 1t
will not stop until the occupant gets up
and touches the electric button in his
room. Hotel Mcconnell has already
been equipped with many modern i'm
provements since Frank took charge,
and he does not propose to stop with
this last improvement, but expects to
add to from time TO time until his hotel
Is second to none outside of the
large cities. Thus 1t will be seen that
Frank has not lost any of the spirit OF
enterprise which he manifested in his
boyhood days. The electric buttons
will be ready to be touched the latter
part OF this week.

Is il only Guess Work

According to newspaper statements
there will be several changes in the
running OF trains when the new winter
schedule is issued on the b., r. & p.
R'y, and If the railroad company make
their schedule as the papers say, then
Reynoldsville and Punxsutawney will
lose one passenger train. The through
mail from Buffalo and Rochester, which
reaches Dubois at 5.I5 p. M. will be run
to Clearfield instead of Punxsutawney,
and the G. & NJ. train between here and
Clearfield will be discontinued between
Reynoldsville and Dubois. The crew
on the passenger train have never
wanted to run down to Reynoldsville
and would use their influence to stop
the train at Dubois. Reynoldsville
people are entitled to a through train
to Clearield and If the company would
build a platform and small station at
this place and stop for passengers at
Sandy Valley and Pancoast and make
the train to Reynoldsville a settled
thing, considering all the extra expense
there would be connected in running
the train here, there Is no reason why
1t would not pay.

Eighth Reunion.

The eighth reunion OF the 1O5th regi-
ment which was held at New Bethle-
hem last Thursday was largely attended.
1t had been heralded far and near that
the colors which this regiment lost in
the battle along the Weldon railroad on
Oct. 9th, 1864, were to be returned to
the regiment at this reunion by the
man who had taken them, and for this
reason the crowd was larger at the
eighth reunion than it otherwise would
have been, but the lost colors and the
man who wore the gray failed to get to
New Bethlehem. The following members
Of the 105th from this section attended
the reunion: Co. A., ID. w. Leech; Co.
b, William Lucas, Co. E, John M.
Hays; Co. FL, t. G. Reynolds, captain of
Co. III, George Sharp, Simpson Kirker,
Ebenezer Daily, Henry Stevenson,
Jacob Dickey, Geo. w. Warwick, Daniel
Sharp, w. J. Dunlap. The reunion will
be held at Brookville next year.
A number of old soldiers Of Reynolds
vile besides the members OF the 1O5th
regiment attend the reunion at New
Bethlehem last week, among whom was
j. G. Kellar. He says he never saw so
much hand-shaking and expressions
real genuine gladness as there was at
the New Bethlehem reunion. The old
soldier boys enjoy such gathering
immensely.

Three Now.

White e. Reynolds started their now
milk wagon Monday morning. The
wagon, which is II very pretty one, is a
regular milk wagon. 1t is painted
black and is drawn by span of black
horses. The Reynolds Farm Dairy"
is on the wagon top in large gilt letters.
This makes three dairy wagons in
Reynoldsville, but as long as they are
run by the gentlemen who now have
charge Of them, o. II. Broadhead and
John Goodwill being the other two
dairymen, there is no danger Of there be-
ing ascarcity Of either water or chalk, as
these men will furnish their customers
with the pure lacteal fluid. II would
not be surprising, however, If there
would be u cut in price of milk for u
short time.

His Portion Already.

Thomas Dixon, Il sixteen year old lad
OF Prescottville, son Of John Dixon, has
already met enough mishaps for man
OF three score years. He was q driver
in old Soldier Run mine few years ago
and had one Of the fingers on his right
hand 80 badly lacerated that amputation
was necessary. In August, 1892, he fell
of tree and broke his right leg. The
leg had to be operated on about the 10Th
OF the following December but 1t never
got In condition that the boy could
walk without crutches and he is to 90
to the Adrian Hospital to undergo an
other operation on his leg. The boy
carries mail from Reynoldsville to
Rathmel and drives young colt.
Tuesday OF last week he drove to Du-
Bois and the young horse got frightened
at the street cars and Runaway.
Thomas was thrown out OF the buggy
and had his right arm broken. II was
at first thought after his arm was broken
that the trip to the hospital would be
postponed until the arm got well, but
1t has been decided that he will go in
few days and the leg and arm can
mend together.
Miss Mary Dixon will carry the mail
while Thomas Is at the hospital.

Took an Overcoat,

George Burtop came TO town on
business Saturday and left his overcoat
hanging behind the desk In the Hotel
Dillman Office. Soon after dinner
George wanted to go home and went to
look for his coat, but the peg was
empty and the coat gone. George
notified Mr.. Dillman and he said II the
coat could not be found he would pay
for II, but after several hours search
the coat was found on mans back in
the east end Of town. Mr.. Dillman
demanded the coat and the 'lifter"
claimed the coat was his at first, but
seeing he would get into trouble II he
persisted In claiming the coat, he gave
1t up. The old chap is now out a
loaiing place and also the overcoat.

Four OF a Kind.

Thieves entered the store OF M. II.
Morrison at Punxsutawnoy last We'd
nesday night and help themselves 10
about $4,000 worth Of clothing and
jewelry. The chief-of-police of this
place, Frank =. Addesperger, received
word OF the robbery and was on the
lookout for the robbers II they come
this way. Friday morning Frank saw
two fellows on Main street who had u
suspicious air about them and wore new
suits. The two chaps were very shy Of
Addlcsperger and kept some distance
from him. Frank was coming up Main
street and the two men turned down
Firth street and when out OF the
poicemans sight they ran towards the
swamp. Addlcsperger did not go after
them nor did he turn the corner where
they could see him, but had small boy
tell him where they were going. Be-
fore dinner Addlesperger was sure the
four men In the woods below town were
the men who were wanted at Punxsu-
tawnew for robbery. He telegraphed
to that town and asked for a duplicate
warrant. Constable Silver and Mr..
Morrison came 10 Reynoldsville and
the four men were arrested. The
new suits they wore we're some
OF the clothing stolen from Morrison.
The chaps were locked up for awhile
and after supper were hand-cufred two
together and put in a hack TO be taken
to Punxsutawney for hearing, as one
Of the men demanded IL. Two men
started through the rain and darkness
with the four prisoners for Punxsutaw-
ney. They had only travelled several
miles through the dark woods when the
man who wanted a hearing become very
boisterous and tried 10 get out OF the
hack. The two men were afraid their
prisoners would escape and they re-
turned TO Reynoldsvile. The prisoners
were put In the lookup and John
Schultze and his father-in-law, Owen
Kane, kept guard over the thieves un-
I'll morning In the morning the fellow
who was determined the night before to
have hearing, realized his chance of
escape was no good and he was willing
to go to Brookville Jail without hear
ing. This chap was so hateful that none
OF his "pards' would bunk with him
Friday night, and he made threats then
and there that he would convict all OF
them II he had to swear hole through
II two inch plank They are now board
ing with Sheriff Young.
When the small, "sandy," terror-to-
evil-doers, Addlesperger, gets after
law-breaking game he generally gets
II, and for that reason it is not wise for
robbers to linger long in this locality
when he is on their track.

Light the Gas.

For some reason, we don't know
whether they would plead poverty or
not, the town council have had the gas
light shut off at Hose Co. No. building
and lookup. On Friday evening when
the four robbers were taken out of the
lookup to be sent to Punxsutawney
Addlesperger had to borrow lantern,
and when they were brought back he
had to go and borrow a lantern to put
them in again. When the Hose Co.
ran after the hose cart and hook and
ladder truck Saturday evening to re-
spond to the fire alarm, they had to
light matches to get the cart and truck
out. This kind OF business might do
for some little hamlet, but is not the
thing for town the size of Reynolds
vile. A policeman should not be
asked to arrest a tough character
and take him through the dark alley to
the lookup and there feel around in the
dark to get his prisoner in cell, nor
should the fire lads be asked to get the
hose cart out without a light. 1t seems
there is misunderstanding about the
matter which should be looked after
Immediately and the light turned on.
II 1t is economy on the part OF council,
1T is poor economy. Hose Companies

tention and, II necessary, expenditure
OF money by this borough.
