Failed to Materialize.

J. Prescott Eldridge, who was booked
to give an entertainment in Reynolds
opera house last Friday evening, devOt-
ed to the mysteries Of hypnotism, or
somnambulism, and mesmerism and the
Momusonian melange, also to consist Of
morsels Of mirth, slices Of humor and
draughts Of merriment, did not give the
carnival Of the passions" because the
opera house was crowded with empty
seats and mesmerism subjects, with the
all important one-quarteth of a hundred
cents at the door failed to materialize.
The "cagliostro" was trihe disguised
with Reynoldsville people. The black
haired gentleman, when interviewed
after the lights were put out at the
opera house and the dust on the seats
remained undisturbed said that he had
issued twenty-six passes and even the
holders OF these did not attend. The
experience of trying to get crowd here
"puzzled the wits" OF Eldridge and
"baffied the wisdom" OF Albert Reyn-
olds, who gave the house on percent
age Of door receipts.

A Runaway.

Harry O'Bryan, bartender at the
Commercial Hotel, was hauling coal
last Friday and Matson's spirited grey
nag Runaway from him. Harry was
loading his wagon with coal at Company
store when the train passed by and
frightened the fiery steed. Harry can
hold any person down when it comes to
telling big yarns but he did not have
grip enough to hold the grey from
running Off. About the first act was
to upset the box, which was filled with
coal, off the wagon and then the horse
jerked the wagon down jackson street
at break-neck speed. When the horse
reached the Methodist church it was so
tangled In the wagon and lines that it
stopped. The only damage done was
one wheel knocked out of gear. O'Bry-
an had narrow escape from serious
injury In attempting to stop the horse
when it had decided to 60. It may be
possible that the nag would have sue
ceeded in dropping several wooden
awnings had 1t not been for the upset In
front Of the M. E. church.

Town Council,

nies at this place, which is good step
in the right direction.

The Town Cow.

The ubiquitous town COW that loveth
TO revel in a we'll filled garden at this
season of the year, is now threatened in
the strongest language known to profane
history. The ''cow pond" is strongly
agitated by few men OF town who
have fought bugs, pulled weeds,
scratched with hoe, watered plants,
in fact almost broke their backs to have
a good garden, and then have four
legged, two-horned,pe ,pesky, contemplate,
fiendish, milk-giving bovine meander
that way and 'yank-off" the rope, wire
or anything else that may be used to
tie the gate and quietly enter in at the
midnight hour and, with goulish glee,
proceed to snatch cabbage stocks bald
headed, eat the sweet corn, and trample
down all the garden truck that is not
suitable for her cud, these men are on
the war path with blood in their eyes.
Just why man should get mad because
an innocent cow happened to break into
his garden, is incomprehensible to the
man whose cow has done the damage,
but let some other mans cow feast on
his garden truck and his comprehen.
siveness is wonderfully acute,

They all Went.

The Keystone band and a large num-
Der Of Golden Eagles left here on the
7.10 train yesterday morning to attend
the reunion at Dubois. There is an
old saying that "there is always room
for one more," but II is doubtful
whether it would have been possible to
have packed many more on the two
coaches which composed the train.
The seats, isles, platforms and steps
were packed. 1t is estimated that
there were 100 passengers on the two
cars, and one Of them was part bag
gage car.

Want a Place to Vote.

For number of years the Moore
House has been the place where the
voters OF West Winslow township cast
their ballots, but the county commits
sioners will now have to get a new place,
as there is not room at the hotel to
hold elections, as the Baker system
requires more room than the old way.
A. w. Mulhollan was up from Brook
vile yesterday for the purpose of
finding place to hold the the fall
election in. The West Reynoldsville
Hose Co. is talking Of putting up a
building and Mr.. Mulhollan has hopes
Of making arrangements with the fire

Claim Adjusted.

J. X. Hatfield and ID. b. Allewell, of
Pittsburg, and J. S. Catanack, of Phila-
delphia, insurance men, were in town
last week adjusting the loss by the
burning of the woolen mill. Sykes,
Allis & Moorhouse carried $1,000 in
surance on the mill, store room and
goods. The entire claim was paid but
5000, which was knocked off safe and
some other store fixtures that were not
valued as high by the adjusters as they
had been insured for. j. Il. Reed,

Sykes, Allis & Moorhouse.

Billy Goat.

G. ]. Darrah, Of Hopkins, owns a very
nice turnout for small boy, Billy
Goat, set Of leather harness and cart.
Mr.. Darrah's little boy drove the rig to
BrOokville in three hours a few days
ago. The gentleman wants to sell Billy
because he is not content to Craze on
the green but wants to fool along the
railroad track and feast on ballast,
spikes, ties, &c. The owner would not
object to that way of living, but the
goat has become 30 impolite that it is
hardly willing to show respect for the
iron horse by stepping of the track to
let 1t pass by and Mr.. Darrah is afraid
there will be trouble some day between
an engine and the goat.

Three Mice.

David Reynolds, who has lived In this
town from the days when the very few
inhabitants could step out OF their back
doors and look for deer, and the quiet
ness Of the town was occasionally dis
turbed by panther's cry or a
bears growl, when the scent was
yet fresh on the red mans track
and the whole town was one vast will
derness, In the days when the whoa! Of
the stage coach driver, as he pulled up
at the little inn with his 'four In hand"
was Of as much interest to the few boys
Of town as the lightning express with
its palace and pullman cars Is to the
country lads to-day, even in those days
with all their wildness, David was never
more frightened than he was one MORN
ing last week In his fine house on
Mabel street. Mr.. Reynolds got out of
bed and began dressing. He pulled on
one sock and just about the time his big
toe reached the stopping place in the
sock something began scratching
around lively on the bottom of David's
foot. "Whew!' "Great guns!' "a
rattle snake, as sure as | am bornl" A
few such remarks were escaping from
David while the foot was backing out
OF the sock. When the foot came out
three little mice, that had been dis
turbed from quiet snooze, ran out and
disappeared in hole at one corner Of
the room and the owner OF the supposed
snake-bitten foot looked on in astonish-
ment. While Mr.. II. slumbered the
mice had moved into new quarters to
be so rudely ousted out. Mr.. Reynolds
says he had read so many articles about
snakes crawling into houses that he
could think of nothing else but snake
when his foot got into the sock.

made last year to attend the reunion

sponded to his country's call in her
