Why Trans are Often Late.

Nearly all the passenger trains on the
A. V. R'y run behind time last week,
partly on account of being held at Drift
wood, Falls Creek and Red Bank to
make connections with other roads.
Last Wednesday train No. .. with Pat
Horn as engineer and NJ. J. McEnteer,
conductor, left Driftwood forty-five
minutes late, got to Falls Creek on
time and waited there for the b., II. &
p. train until they were forty minutes
late, got to Red Bank and were ready
TO leave on time and on account of the
main line train being behind time did
not leave Red Bank until they were one
hour and ten minutes late and got to
Driftwood just twenty minutes too late
to make connection with the u. a. r..
east bound train aud four or five pas
sengcrs, among whom was the scribe of
this paper, concluded to remain at
Driftwood all night. Sometimes peo-
pie do considerable grumblng at rail
road men because they are behind time,
but the above is "A sample of the diff
culties one train had to contend with
for the day mentioned, and such lay
outs are frequent occurrences. Low
Grade train men do their best to run on
time and not dump their passengers
down some of the steep embankments
along the road. Then be considerate
for railroad men and in place of cen
suring them have charity for them.
When waiting for u train people get
out of patience, but when on train
that is late and trying to make connection
with another train they don't care
picayune how impatient the passengers
get on the train that is waiting only so
1t waits until they get there. If you
get weary waiting on train imagine
you were on the belated train and want
ed to make connections, it may be rest
full to you.

A Peep at Driftwood.

Notwithstanding the fact that Drift
wood is a small town hemmed in by
lofty mountains, yet there is considera-
bic business life there. The town is
situated at the confluence of two streams
and is n convenient place for those who
loveth to climb mountains and chase
game or who delighteth to sit along the
banks while the finy inhabitants of the
streams innocently nibble at the bait
on the dangerous hook. Among the
hotels To be found in that town is the
Curtin House, of which i. f. Clune is
proprietor. This is large brick hotel
with fiGty-five rooms, number of which
are nicely furnished and each have a
stove in. A large dining room Is one of
the convenicnces Of the house. A res
taurant is also run i'm connection with
the hotel. J. T. Earl. editor of the
Gazette, is an enterprising young man
who not only furnishes the people of
Driftwood and vicinity with news, but
also dispenses law to them he being the
honorable Justice Of the Peace of that
town. There are but few business
houses in Driftwood, yet they have
learned the secret of success, they use
printers ink. Bro. Earl gets about
three hundred and fifty dollars from one
firm alone, and all the others are gen
erous advertisers. They do not adver-
tise merely to keep the paper in exist
ence, but plant their advertisements to
get a harvest, and they find, as do all
other advertisers, that it brings in large
returns.

He Was Wanted at Buffalo.

The Chief of Police Of Buffalo, N. Y,
got requisition paper from Gov.
Fowler, of New York state, came to
Pennsylvania and got Gov. Pattison's
signature attached thereto and then
found his way to Punxsutawney last
Thursday and early Friday morning
paid the constable of that borough five
dollars for giving j. Addison a pressing
invitation to be at the b., r.. & p. R'y
station in time to leave on the mail
train for Buffalo, N. Y. Mr.. Addison
was reluctant about it, but as there was
no alternative he accompanied the Chief
of Police TO Buffalo where he was
wanted to answer to a charge that was
not in accord with New York laws.
Addison is father-in-law of j. Kaufman,
the man who opened the auction store
here several weeks ago and was closed
by the sheriff at the request of Sykes,
Allis & Moorhouse. Addison was also
arrested blythe woolefi mill firm OF this
place and the charges against them are
conspiracy with intent to defraud.

"Throw Water on III"

A young man who holds the position
as ticket and freight agent and telegraph
operator at a station along the A. V.
Ry about thirty-five miles from Reyn-
oldsville, discovered that the Office was
on fire one day last week and in the
excitement of the moment he sent the
following message to A. b. Weed the
day train dispatcher at this place: "The
office is on fire, what shall | do?"
Mr.. Weed in answer said, "Throw
water on it," The young man accepted
the advice of the Chief operator and
the Office remains standing and was not
as badly damaged as the operator was
frightened.

A Snail Town

People who are looking for town of
5000 or 10000 inhabitants where they
will not be disturbed by the roar Of
manufacturing wheels or the hum of
thrift and industry, we assure them
that Lock Haven is just the place.
BY the way, though, the town is just
what the capitalists make it. Two live
daily papers, the State Normal school,
the court house and few live business
men keep the town from falling into a
lethargy that would end only when the
present generation had all been planted
four feet under the sod and daisies
bloomed on the little mounds. Lock
Haven has its advantages and could
become quite live town, but the old
''stagers' throw obstacles in the way,
fearing they will be crushed under the
tidal wave of prosperity.

School EXpoSed.

The Dubois Express of Saturday in a
column article, with quarter of col
umn head over it, gave the school direc-
tors and teachers of that town ''send
off" and placed their schools in a
disgraceful position before the COM
munity. The Express accused the
school directors of hiring incompetent
daughters, cousins, and aunts as teach
ers. The Courier, with its wonderful
amount of editorial brains, fixed the
school question up nicely Monday morn
ing by denying the cypress statement
and adding that "the really scandalous
feature in the board has been the state
of inebrity in which some men have
attended meetings and attempted to do
business for the taxpayers and the
elevation of the standard of our schools" 4"
A portion of Clearfeld county and sew
eral townships outside, which the Du-
Bois dailies visit, will get to know the
rottenness of Dubois schools il the two
papers keep up the family jar. If you
want Il good history of church, Il
political party, or any organization, just
get two members fighting and you have
the thing in nut shell.

Forgot to Liquidate,

In the early part Of last December
two installment plan agents came to
Reynoldsville to sell clocks and various
other articles which they had in stock.
They were not willing to pay the price
asked for going from house to house to
sell goods in Reynoldsville and conse-
quently devoted their time selling to
the denizens of the surrounding COM
munity. The gentlemen left town
over a week ago and also left several
unpaid bills, among which was a board
bill to the amount of $l7.75 and little
twelve dollar account at one of the
livery stables. The men made trip to
Big Run the day before they left Reyn-
oldsville and when they returned in the
evening they engaged the rig for the
next day, but they left town on the 6.47
train the following morning and forgot
to leave their address. An attempt
will be made to find them.

Attend or Keep Quiet.

The borough election day cometh
on apace and under the new law it will
be necessary to have the nominations
filed with the auditors ten days before
election This borough has twenty-one
officers to elect as follow: Burgess;
one Justice of the Peace; five council
men; four school directors; two auditors:
two constables; two overseers poor; one
tax collector; one Judge of election;
one inspector of election. The best
men in Reynoldsville are the ones to
put into office at the coming election.
When the meetings are held to make
the nominations each party should be
well represented. Heretofore a num-
Der of citizens have been too busy, some
too careless and few too lazy to attend
the caucus, and then they howl about
the ticket. Citizens should either
attend the caucus and help make the
nominations or quietly abide by what
had been done.

Shoe Talk.

You are always buying shoes. Shoe
buying is a disagreeable business. 1t
is expensive business as well. But
what are you to do! You must have
shoes. Now If all shoes were alike, it
wouldn't matter whore you bought your
shoes. But they are not all alike, so you
must put yourself in the hands of the
dealer as to quality and value. Size, price
and looks you can tell, that is all you can
tell; time must tell the rest. So your
confidence is not in the shoe, but in the
dealer. We want your confidence. 1t
will not be betrayed.

Some One Hoodwinked.

The Dubois Courier of Monday morn
ing contained an article clipped from
the Pittsburg Dispatch, without date,
which IL Is presumed was published in
the Pittsburg daily last week, concern
ing the Hamilton Coal company. The
article gave the names Of five gentlemen
who stopped at the Monongahela House
who were committee empowered to
represent the above named company.
A part of the article was as follows:
Recently the company sold out to
Bell, Lewis & Yates, of Buffalo. the
largest coal mining concern in the
country, for Sl3S,O00. The gentlemen
composing the above committee will
leave for Brookville, the seat of Jeifer-
son county, to-day, to sign the trans
fer papers. The Hamilton corporation
In name will be continued, but will be
owned entirely by the Buffalo people. :"
The Hamilton company sold out to the
Bell Lewis e. Yates G. NJ. Co. almost
three years ago for $6S, 700 and have re-
ceived their money for the same. The
gentlemen composing the above men,
toned committee had business at
Brookville last week to attend a suit
that is pending in the jefferson county
courts for almost four thousand dollars.
The Hamilton Coal company is only
known here as thing of the past.

A destructive fire occurred at Anita
this morning early. The Elk Run Sup
ply company's store was, together with
its contents, entirely destroyed. Other
buildings adjacent to the store where
also consumed. The store was a large
frame structure and as the night was
very cold and a strong wind blowing at
the time nothing could be done to save
the property. In fact the fire was not
discovered until it had gained much
headway, and II, c. Edleblute, u clerk
who slept in the store, had narrow
escape with his life. He was compelled
To jump from one of the upstairs
windows and in his leap he broke one
of his legs at the ankle. The store was
under the management of N. G..
Edleblute, of this place, and it was his
son who was injured. AT present
writing we are without further particu-
lars as to the cause Of the fire or what
the total loss would approximate, but it
would reach in the neighborhood of at
least $4,000, covered by some insur-
ance

Thought his Time had Come.

One of the night drivers at the Big
Soldier Run mines was sitting in the
engine house at the mines yesterday
morning when the packing blew out
of the large air compressor and the
driver thought his time had come to
''schuffle off this mundane sphere" and
the poor fellow wanted 10 see some of
his friends before st. Peter got hold of
him, and instead of making his exit
through the door, which was nearby,
he jumped through the window. There
was no cause for alarm save the terrific
noise at five o'clock in the morling,
which, after being up all night, was too
much for the drivers nerves. A man
who drives a mule all night, no doubt,
is not ready to answer Gabriels call so
early in the morning.

The Sending of Simultaneous Mes
cages on One Wire.
From the Chicago Tribune.
To be told that telegraph wire which is
busily Transmitting long message can at
the same time be made to convey half a
dozen other messages in opposite directions
sounds like fairy tale. but that the thing
has been done, and is daily being done, is
attested upon the most respectable scientific
authority. The discovery which renders
these astonishing results possible is due TO
c. Langdon-Davis, who has for years been
engaged in rendering il practically work
able. and ia adopting it alike to telephone
and telegraphic use.
Il Is difficult TO convey TO the lay mind an
accurate comprehension Of a process so ex-
csedingly technical, but 10 may briefly be
said that Laugdon-DaviB in the "phono-
phors" utilities not the electric current but
the noise caused By induction. The signals
are transmitted by q series of induced cleo
trio impulses, and the success of the system
is found in the ability Of the inductive force
to pass through insulations which electric
currents capnot penetrate. A wire may be
blown down and in contact with the earth
yet, so long as it is not broken. 1t will carry
o phonophoric message.
By means OF the phonophore, messages
can be transmitted with extraordinary
rapidity, and there is practically no limit 20
the number Of messages that can be sent
simultaneously upon the same wire And

system 10 a. useful tslephoniosIIy as il is
Geographically. A wire which is convey
ing electric signals can at the same time be
used for telephone conversation without
either the message or the conversation suf-
fering IN the least.
For some considerable time past expert
ments ia both directions have been proceed-
ing with most gratifying results, which are
vouchsd for by such high authorities as Prof.
Sylvanus Thompson. Conrad Cooke and
Latimer Clark. Three OF the principal rail-
way companies have already adopted the
phonophore, and It must be obvious, even
10 the unscientific mind, that phonophoric
teIegraphy. which 30 vastly increases the
electricians power over the wires, has be-
fore It a very great future.
The phonophOre. indeed, increases almost

transmitted in given time. IL is obvious,
therefore, that it opens great possibilities
