High Wheels. Broad Tread.

Stewart nearly dislocated his su- perior and sub .maxillaries in trying to render the testimony SO softened that it would not shock the decorous ears of the court, who is not well anyway.
 When Lawyer Joe Alexander rose to defend his client, Orosco. Justice Wharton stopped the eloquenca that was cantering away at Jay-Eye-See gait, discharged the defendant and fined Santiago $l9.55, costs of suit. It seems that this inexperienced com plainant had told one story when swearing out his warrant and quite another when the case went to trial. An slibi of that kind won't go in the Wharton precinct, and Santiago will doubtless know better when his nine. teen and half days of imprisonment are up.

DIED OF RABIES Awful Effect of a Mad
 Wolf'S Bite. Two Cousins Victims of
 Hydrophobia. The Wound Healed and the Bite
 Forgotten. The Two Doomed Men Allow Them selves to Be Chained and
 Await Certain Death.

BRANDON, Miss, July 19.-[Associated Press. l-William Brett and Weston Thomas, colored, cousins, living on a MT. Gunn's plantation in the south eastern part of Simpson county, died horrible deaths yesterday morning, the result of mad wolf's bite, inflicted over year ago. They were seized with the symptoms on last Saturday morning. Every muscle of their bod ies was conyused, and in death they presented a ghastly sight.
 About a year ago the two young men were fishing on Leaf river, in Perry county. They were camping out and pitched their improvised tent near the rivers bank. Two other fishermen ac- companied them. One night, while they were cooking and lounging about fire, a wolf, with his eyes ablaze, sud- denly sprang into their midst and seized Thomas by the arm. His cousin sprang to his rescue and attempted to grasp the infuriated beast around the throat, when the wolf released his hold on Thomas and seized Brett. A des- perate struggle then ensued, when finally the other two fishermen seized pole and with powerful blow broke the wolf's back. All danger was thought to be over when the wounded men began recovering and their torn flesh began to heal.
 During the early spring the men moved into Simpson county and began farming. They were healthy and strong and when they were seized with an uncomfortable nervous twItching of the muscles week ago their local phy- sician could not diagnose their cases. B rett was seized in the morning and as Thomas was attending to his wants, he, ten hours later, showed hydrophobic symptoms. Finally the story of the wolf bite was told and the mystery was cleared. The men were given to un- derstand that death would inevitably follow. They consented to being chained to their bedsteads and were securely fastened. Thomas was the first to die, Brett's death following in about six hours.

She Didn't Know How.

When Prince George, the son of the prince of Wales, was student at Cam. bridge he was a jolly fellow and ex- ceedingly well liked. In the great English universities royal rank counts for nothing in friendly intercourse. One day the prince found fellow student, some years his senior, endeav. bring to light refractory pipe. Whats the matter?" said George. Let me light it for you" ''Oh, you teach your grandmother how to suck eggs, will you?" was the angry reply. Then, as the student realized what he had said, he added, quickly: My gra- cious! l beg your pardon! had for. gotten who your grandmother was.

The docu- ment is in an excellent state of preser- vation, being on sheets neatly stitched together with silk thread and sealed with wax bearing the arms of the fla nous Penn.

In extracting fruit flavors, Dr. Price deals directly with nature and leaves the use of artificial ex- tracts to those who have not the chemical knowledge to extract from the true fruit, and who care not what they sell so long as they can make money.

LOCAL LAC0NICS.
A Yearling.

For one year we have endeavored to
make the STAR interesting and give
our readers all the news. Doubtless in
that time we have said some things that
would have been better not to have said,
and perhaps omitted news, unintention-
ally, that should have been published.
In gathering news items we have paid
no attention to condition of life from
whence the news comes, rich or poor,
laborer or merchant, subscriber or nom
subscriber, all were served alike so far
as we were able to do so. OF course we
have not pleased everybody, but were
familiar enough with the newspaper
business before assuming the position as
an editor to know that that is an inn
possibility. AS long as Il news item
strikes some one else it is alright, but
when it comes home that is 'horse of
another color If paper does not
publish all the news it is ''no good"
and If it does some one will get cross
about items which concern them. Our
subscription list is evidence that we are
pleasing large number of people. The
STAR entered into the journalistic field
last May on somewhat of a venture, as
it was little doubtful whether the
town would support two papers. We
were not disappointed in the supposi-
tion for the first year at least, for we
have been able to live and keep our
debts down, by hard work and economy.
We have learned few lessons by ex-
perience during our first year which we
expect to profit by in our second year.
We will try to make the STAR more
interesting in the coming year than it
was in the past one. We hope the
STAR has become such welcome
visitor that all the old subscribers will
renew and many new ones give us their
names.

Death from Childbirth.

Mrs. William G.. White, nee Belinda
Bennett, was born in Camborne, Corn
wall, England, February 18th, 1855,
died on Thursday, April 81, 1893, aged
3s years, months and l2 days. VIM.
@. White and Belinda Bennett were
married in England on the 10th OF Au-
gust, 1S79 and emigrated to America
May II, 1882, and came to Reynoldsville
where they have since resided. The hus-
band and seven children, the oldest not
twelve yet and the youngest three hours
old when the mother died, are left to
mourn for the departed. Mrs. White
was a sister OF John Bennett, of Hill
street. The funeral services were held
in the M. +. church at 2:30 p. M. Sun
day, conducted by Rev. Z. j. Slattery.
The church was crowded, many people
being unable to get into the church.
The deceased was member of the
Daughters of st. George, and the hus-
band is a member OF the Sons of st.
George and the Knights of the Golden
Eagle, also the leader OF the Prescott
vile Cornet band. All three Of the
above named orders and the members
of the Prescottville and Reynoldsville
bands turned out in bodys. Members
of the Prescottville band acted as pail
bearers. A beautiful pillow and anchor
of sweet smelling flowers were tokens of
honor and from the Daughters of st.
George and the Prescottville band.
The pillow was from the ladies. Five
hundred and fifty people viewed the
remains in the church. The coffin was
lowered beneath the sod of Beulah.

Give them the Limit.

The Board of Trade of Reynoldsville
has a number of committees appointed,
among which is a committee on pro-
motion OF trade and protection of mer-
chants" and sit is the duty of the
committee to see that our laws are
enforced in regard to hawking and
peddling in our town and vicinity, and
to do everything in their power to
foster and protect the trade interests of
Reynoldsville."
The Borough law requires that
people who canvass the town shall pay
a license of three dollars per day, and
every person 'desiring to begin trans
cient retail business in said Borough for
the sale of any goods, wares or mer-
chandise, whatsoever, whether the same
shall be represented or held forth to be
bankrupt, assignees or about to quit
business, &C., shall take out license
for the same from the Chief Burgess or
President of the Council and pay to said
officer for the use of said Borough sum
not less than twenty-five dollars per
month, nor more than one hundred dol
lars per month, at the discretion Of
the Burgess or president of Council"
If the Burgess does not assist the
committee above mentioned, it is
hard for them to successfully perform
their duties. True the Borough needs
money and If the full extent of the law,
one hundred dollars, was charged to
transient retail establishments they
would give the town the go-by. How
about the business men who stay here
all the time and pay their various taxes
every year, help keep up the churches and
feed and clothe their families here. are
they not worthy the best protection
possible, makes no difference what
their business may be? Therefore,
what is twenty-five dollars to the
Borough compared to what our business
men pay annually? And again, who
is the better off after transcient es-
tablishment has been in town a week or
ten days? We suggest that all trans
cient retail business men pay the full
extent OF the law, one hundred dollars,
and that the Golfers of the borough be
replenished by fines gathered from the
drunken individuals who make Rome
Howl" frequently in our town.

At Ridgway.

The l. o. o. F. seventy-fourth ami
versary held at Ridgway last Wednes-
day was a grand success. In the first
place the county seat of Elk was a good
place to celebrate the anniversary, and
then the people showed their apprecia-
tion of the honor by profusely decorating
public buildings, business houses and
private dwellings. The day was a
pretty one. About six hundred Odd
Fellows, six brass bands and one drum
corps paraded through several Of the
main streets. After the parade they
gathered in the court house and listened
to the speakers of the day. The Reyn-
oldsville lodge, No. S24, had the largest
representation in the parade with the
exception of Johnsonburg lodge, which
had only nine miles to travel to get
there. Our lodge made the best APP
pearance of any in the parade. With
the large attendance from here, the
fine looking men and the best band In
the parade, Reynoldsville has reason to
be proud OF the representation from
here.

Two Store Rooms.

The room just vacated by Alexander's
drug store has been re'painted and
re-papered. An archway has been put
in between that room and the one now
occupied by Bell Bros clothing store.
and this firm will occupy both store
rooms. They have always carried a
large line of goods, but will now in

finished to have as fine rooms and large
stock of clothing as can be found in the
county. Bell Bros. are live, energetic
business men, and are doing good
business here.

"Old Hick'ry Farm" p"

The Juvenile band OF Reynoldsville
decided TO play sold Hick'ry Farm"
New England comedy, at this place
about the middle OF May with II.
Eugene Phillips, of Clarion, as the star,
"Old Ezekiel Fortune" Mr.. Phillips
came here last Wednesday night and
wanted to present the play Saturday
night. The home talent required was
selected and they began rehearsing
and on Saturday the comedy was played
before a fair-sized audience at the opera
house. All who took part did remark
ably we'll, and especially so when the
length of time for preparation is con-
sidered. There are numerous shows
travelling to-day that do not give as
good performance as that of "Old
Hick'ry Farm" by home talent The
comedy was so well received that il was
played again on Monday night to fair
audience. Both evenings the weather
was unfavorabe for the entertainment.
As the proceeds were for the benefit of
the Juvenile band the citizens did not
patronize it as they should have done.
Following was the cast of characters
Ezekiel Fortune, New England farmer,
Fl. Eugene Phillips; Larry McKeegan,
an Irish Alderman, Chas. F. Watson
Gilbert Darkwood, handsome and un-
scrupulous, Chas. Kischartz; 'Riah Skin
ner, miser Frank Alexander: Jack
Nelson, Fortunes adopted son, w. ].
Weaver: Detective Rankin John Dem
ny: Bill Tracy and George Jones, officers
of the law, Vincent Reynolds and Chas.
Doverspike; Jessie Fortune, ''pretty and
innocent" Miss Lille McCreight; Mrs.
Priscilla Dodge, "the wildly" Miss
Minnie Ewing.
The seven leading characters were
the farmer, which was done almost to
perfection by Phillips, and the Irish
Alderman was as well mimicked by
Watson as If he had just come from the
Isle of the sea: Kishartz acted the viii
lain WELL but we hardly suspected that
Frank Alexander would make such a
good miser. Weaver played the lover
and friend naturally, while Miss Nc
Creight gracefully played her part
Miss Ewing, "the wildly" captured the
alderman about as cunningly as a
widow could have accomplished the
act on a real stage Of life.
While preparations were being made
for the after-piece Monday night Miss
May Iseman entertained the audience
with several of her delightful songs.

Council Meeting.

The town council held their regular
monthly meeting last Monday evening.
The Burgess and all the councilmen
were present and the following business
was transacted. A petition was pre-
sented asking for sidewalk on Brad
ford street from Pleasant Avenue to
Borough line. 1t was granted. John
Dillman, proprietor Of Hotel Dillman,
asked for privilege of building an ad-
ditiOn to his hotel. The request was
not granted. Harry II. Mincer, the
night policeman, handed in his resigna-
tion, which is to take effect May 8th.
1t was accepted. Hereafter policeman
will be on duty pay days and on special
days. Bills to the amount of $432. 40
were ordered to be paid. The tax to be
levied this year is to be the same as last
year. Borough two mills, water two
mills and bond one-half mill. On mo-
tion the Borough will borrow three
hundred dollars for six months.

New Basin.

A fountain was put in several years
ago on the piece of ground between
Supt Rumsey's Office and the A. V. R'y
passenger station. There was no basin
made to catch and carry off the water
and, consequently, it was not often in
operation. The A. V. masons built n
good stone basin last week and a waste
pipe was attached. When the ground
is again cleaned up, the fountain in
operation and the flowers in bloom the
passengers can seek the shady side of
the depot while waiting for trains and
watch the spray as it sparkles in the
SUNLIGHT.

Feminine Determination.

When the south-bound passenger
train pulled into Ridgway last Wednes-
day evening with only two coaches and
the depot platform was crowded with
passengers enough TO fill four coaches,
the crowd become unmanageable, their
only thought was that they must get on
that train regardless of how unseemly
their actions were in getting there.
Before the train stopped they tried to
get on, but, fortunately, no one was in
jured. In justice to the men be 1t said,
the women were the reckless ones this
time. With their teeth set and an 81
will" expression, oblivious of all else
just then, they got on board the train.
The conductor and brakeman tried to
stay the feminine tide of determination
long enough to allow several passengers
to get off, but the conductor was ''treedn
on the railing between the two coaches
and watched the women get on his
train.

Do You Destroy Your Votes.

Little Susie McKernan has sent in
twelve hundred votes to the Pittsburg
Times for her ex-school teacher, Miss
Lizzie Burris. What do you do with
your Times votes? If you destroy them
would it not be a good idea to save
them and thus swell the number of
votes for some school teacher? 1t is a
sure thing that all the teachers who are
receiving votes will not go to the
Worlds Fair on the magnanimous offer
made by one of the best daily papers of
four from this place who are being
voted for. Would it not be good
thing to select out the teacher who has
received the highest votes so far from
Reynoldsville people and from this on
cast all votes for that person, thus
making ii possible for one of our
teachers to get to the Worlds Fair free.
When making a choice of the class of
people who would be taken to the Fair
at the expense Of the Times, we know of
no other class of people who are more
deserving of it, save the country edi-
tors, than the instructors of "Young
Americas" The man or woman who
spends five days in a week, five months
in year in school room with forty,
fifty or sixty dear, docile, angelic boys
and girls, deserves at least free ride.

A New Church.

The st. Peters Evangelical Lutheran
church in the Paradise settlement, was
dedicated last Sunday. Rev. j. Pofiin-
bergar, of Leechburg, Pa, deliv-
cred the dedicatorial sermon. This
is neat little brick cased
church with seating capacity of
200. The church cost 81, 700, which was
all raised before last Sunday but 5000:
that was soon raised Sunday and the
church was dedicated free of debt.
When it is considered that there are
not over fifteen members in that local
ity it can be seen that they had courage
to even attempt to build church there.
Such neat church is not found in all
the rural districts.

Changed His Mind.

Albert Pangon, a barber, who had
been an PunXsutawney about two weeks,
attempted to commit suicide in his
room at the Dingcr house Of that place
last Friday morning by cutting his
neck in two places. He also cut his
wrists and legs. The man came very
nearly making a successful job out of it,
and doubtless would have bled to death
had he not been found when he was and
physicians called in. Trouble, was the
only reason given for the rash act.
When his veins were almost emptied
Of his lives blood, the fellow had
changed his mind and was not anxious
to ''go hence" and when the physicians
arrived and one of them asked him If he
wanted to live he promptly answered in
the affirmative. To the next question
from the physician, "shall we do all we
can to save your life ~ the, few hours
before, would-be-a-corpse unhesitating-
ly said ''yes sir" The man or woman
who seek an escape from their troubles
by the suicide route will find, when too
late, that this world with all the trou-
bles which have entered into their

of their own make-is a real paradise
