An Editors Dilemma.

Chas. J. Bangert, editor Of the Falls
Creek Herald, accompanied by his
SUNDAY girl" Of the true English STYLE
started for Reynoldsville recently in n
cart, but when they reached the center
OF the most public avenue in Pancoast
something dropped into the mud-it
was Bangert and his girl. The front
fastenings of the cart box become dis
connected and the inanimate thing
"reared up and dumped Its freight as
above mentioned. The couple gathered
themselves up and after hasty glance
at their soiled garments decided to re-
turn TO Falls Creek. The editor bor-
rowed an old buggy, got his girl into it,
tied the cart on behind and proceeded
on his homeward trip.

Thanksgiving Services.

The union Thanksgiving services held

morning was better attended than any
ever held in Reynoldsville before. Many
Of the business men laid aside their
worldly vocation long enough to lend
their presence at Divine service. Rev.

ian church, selected his text from
l Chron. 29-13, snow therefore, our
God, we thank thee and praise thy glor-
ious name" The Reverend preached
an excellent sermon. The collection,
which amounted to $685., was divided
into the treasures Of the Presbyterian,
Baptist and Methodist Episcopal
churches to be expended for the poor OF
the town. The $l6.S5 was small thank

A Lawyers Blunder.

John Van Vliet, of BroOkville, was
appointed by the Court as auditor to
adjust the tax for West Reynoldsville
from Winslow township. Yesterday
was the day set and the school directors,
overseers poor and supervisors Of the
township went to Brookville for the
purpose of adjusting the claim, but as
the attorney made the application for
adjustment under wrong act for such
purpose, the whole business was set
aside, and will all have to be gone over
again at the expense Of some person or
persons. Would it not be cheaper to
pay the expense OF the auditor to come
to Reynoldsville and meet the officials
OF the township, than pay railroad fare
for eight or ten men to go to Brookville?

If'nfDlN 'NOtFiffl
Early Saturday morning the first
wreck occurred on the new Clearneld
and Mahoning railroad which caused
any damage worth mentioning. The
accident happened at Blooms run, on
the Anderson creek side of the summit,
where the embankment IL high and
grade considerable. Some time In the
evening train 80 left Punxsutawney for
Clearlleld: IL ran over the summit, and
some time after midnight, on reaching
the point mentioned, "a wheel on one OF
the freight cars broke and 9 cars went
over tho embankment, taking w. o.
Bronoman and Brakeman Millircn over
with them. Breneman Is flagman,
but was called out to run that trip extra
as second brakemen. His hip joint was
displaced and his head severely cut,
and he suffered many contusions Of the
body. He is a Clarion county man, but
now lives at Wilcox, Elk county, where

+. Miliren, who is n Reynoldsville man,
had both legs broken and was other
wise injured. He was taken 10 the
Adrian Hospital. While the injuries
are very serious, both Of the brakemen
arc expected TO recover.

He Wanted Courage.

Some people claim that when n
man Is well filled with spirits frumenti
he has more courage than Mt any other
time. We are not going 10 discuss
that question now, but give an account Of
young man Of Reynoldsville who
wanted 10 enter one Of the "horror Of
horror dens" In town and have n piece
Of cold steel applied TO an old tooth
that was an inch longer than any other
tooth In his mouth and which persisted
In keeping him from enjoying morpheus
sweet embrace, but he lacked the re-
qulrcd amount Of courage TO occupy
the dentists chair 10 have the tooth
extermlnated. No doubt the young
man had heard that whiskey instllled
courage, and, although he was not
Of that class who soil their breath with
the stuff, yet he decided TO indulge n
little until that old tooth was uprooted,
therefore he purchased half pint,
downcd n and started for the dentist
shop. by the the time the tooth was
out the young man was very sick and
he done with the half pint Of whiskey
what the whale done with Jonah when
II was tired Of him. The young man
was sicker, however, for n short time
afterwards than the whale was when
relieved Of It's overdose.

Diphtheria in Town.

There are not nearly so many cases Of
diphtheria In Reynoldsville as one
might bc lead TO think there are by
rumors circulated. We interviewed the
four doctors Monday afternoon, which
resulted IA follows: DR.. King has four
cases; DIR. Neale FIVE, but they are all
convalescing, DIR. Bowser three; DR..
Foust not any.
The State Board Of Health says:
"From families in which this disease Is
prevalent, children must not attend
school, church, or any public assembly,
and adults should likewise abstain from
attending church and public assemblies
as much as possible" We quote the
above because people seem TO be care
less about the matter and by attending
public gatherings are liable TO spread
the disease unintentionally. Diphthe-
ria is loathsome disease and all possible
care should be taken not TO spread IL.

Owner to be Reimbursed.

Dogs killing sheep IL not an uncom-
mon occurrence In this section Of the
county, and for the benefit Of the read
ers Of THE STAR we quote the following
from the dog sheep law: "Whcnevcr
any person shall sustain any loss or
damage 10 sheep by n dog, or dogs, In
any township, the justice of the peace
shall notify the township auditors, and
such township auditors shall at once OK
anime the place where the alleged loss
or damage was sustained and tho sheep
injured or killed, II practicable, and
shall determine and report In writing,
whether any such damage has been sus-
tained and the amount thereof" and
other parts of the act indicates that the
owner of the sheep IL entitled to be re-
lmbursed the amount of the loss or
damage he has sustained. Hon. y. N.
Moore, father Of the bill says: "Thc
intent Of the bill was to cover all dam
age which one might sustain by reason
Of dogs killing, worrying or frightening
sheep. Any practical sheep grower
knows that the fright which sheep re-
ceive by reason of being chased or wor-
ried by dogs practically ruins the lock
for breeding purposes. think section
. Is clear In its languagc-tha man IL
entitled to whatever damage would be
reasonable, according TO the size Of the
llock, length Of time chased, number
Of dogs chasing, etc, and believe the
auditors are bound 10 take these ques-
tions into consideration in making their
awards for damages"

First Mustache.

ed the agent and boy, who were in the

$3.50. There were three robbers in
the gang but one remained outside to
persuade the track walker TO keep
''mum" while the two men inside were
robbing the till. The three men walked
away without any interference and the
three towards at the station did not

Excuse Gone.

The male portion Of Lock Haven who
could not swallow the abomnable canal
water, and therefore, had what they
considered n good excuse for indulglng
in an occasional glass Of beer, are de-
prived Of that excuse now as the town
is supplied with pure mountain water
from tho McFllhattan creek, which was
piped into that city this week. 'Tis n
wonder the stagnant canal water did
not cause more sickness In Lock Haven
than the town was visited with. A
town that has an abundance Of pure
water has great reason TO be thankful.
In this particular Dubois has nothing

Can't Trespass.

AT this season Of the year when men
and boys who can get or borrow old
guns are rowing the country in pursuit
Of game, IL Is we'll that they make a
note Of the law Of trespass. Some per-
sons think that the sign boards forbid
ding hunting or trespassing on private
lands are Of little account, and that
they may be disregarded with impunity.
This is mistake, as the law makes it
an act of trespass to go upon cultivated
or enclosed land for any purpose without
permission Of the owner, even II there

Passing of the Snake.

Readers of newspapers must have no.
ticed that during the last five years the
breed of newspaper snakes has greatly
deteriorated in intelligence and general
accomplishments. Time was when Geor-
gia and Alabama snakes wriggled along
ON the tips of their tails and picked cot
ton buds, when they entered houses in
the nighttime and drained babies milk
bottles, when they grew to enormous
lengths and performed under proper
training many acts of domestic service.
All this is changed now. The reptilian
kingdom has experienced a setback in
it's progressive march toward intellectu-
atty. AS a consequence, newspaper
writer's have been obliged to fall back
upon such commonplace animals as the
cat and dog.-Omaha World-Herald.
