Up With the Times.

A. T. Mcclure, supervisor Of West
Winslow township and a farmer of
Pancoast, came into the STAR office
last Friday with paper bag under his
arm which contained a few choice
potatoes, "Rural New Yorker No. q"
which he had raised on his farm. They
are an excellent potato. Mr.. Mcclure
gets most all the latest improved farm
implements. He used potato planter,
which is quite saving Of time to the
farmer, to plant his potatoes this year
and last week he got one of Hoover's
Diggers on trial which saves about
$500 per acre In digging potatoes.
The above named gentleman has q good
farm and he does not only get the
best seed on the market, but he also
keeps the best Of stock. He farms In a
business like way.

M. j. Farrell, ticket agent for the a.
v. Ry at this place, received telegram
Friday which stated that his brother,
Robert Farrell, had been badly injured
at Putneyville. Armstrong county.
The ticket agent returned home Mon
day and from him we got a statement Of
the extent of his brothers injuries.
He received a scalp wound that required
seven stitches to sew IL up; left leg
broken, left arm broken, ligaments OF
right thigh torn loose and right leg
badly used up: his back terrible lacer-
ated. Mr.. Farrell was working on a
pier Of new bridge being put up across
the Mahoning creek at Putneyville
when the accident happened. In place
OF using guy ropes on the derrick used
for hoisting the stone, II was braced
with heavy boards, and when raising
large stone one OF these broke and the
derrick whirled and Mr.. Farrell was
caught between the derrick and pier
with above results, which was almost
enough TO kill any ordinary man, but
Mr.. Farrell is getting along nicely, all
things considered. M. J. Farrell says
the people Of Putneyville are the
kindest and most accommodating it
has ever been his lot TO meet.

Unsuccessful.

Poverty Flat, the scene OF many a
hand to hand combat, tongue lashing
and disgraceful sight, furnished another
excitement Monday night, and unless
the law makes raid In that neighbor-
hood soon some Of these nights some
persons soul will be sent-by the bullet
rOute-to the place where ice cream is
an unknown luxury. A woman who
has an unenviable reputation lives on
the fiat and on the night referred to
some person made an attempt to blow
her and the shanty she occupies into
smithereens with stick Of dynamite,
but only succeeded in tearing up the
ground near the house. After the
explosion fiye or six shots were fired
without effect. There are few young
men Of this town who visit the fiat who
still have a little manhood left and
would blush TO see their names in print
in connection with such places as are
found there, and yet II any accident
happens in that locality and they are
connected with it their names are likely
TO appear before the public.

Talented Orator.

A union temperance meeting will be
held in Centennial hall at 7.3O next
Sunday evening which will be addressed
by the great temperance lecturer, Will
]. Mcconnell. Last weeks Punxsu-
tawney Spirit spoke Of the lecturer as
follows:
"The talented temperance orator,
VIII J. Mcconnell, has been holding
q temperance revival in the M. f..
church for the past few days and has
been meeting with good success. He is
a very entertaining as we'll as a forcible
talker. He has rich variety of
anecdotes, an earnest demeanor, and Is
apt at illustration. And he can rise
to very fine flights Of eloquence, too.
But not the least of his accomplish
ments Is an air OF honest candor. He has
himself been an unfortunate victim OF
the drunk habit. He does not attempt
to disguise this fact, but humbly con-
fesses his weakness, and wins the
sympathy of his audience by modest and
penitent humility. He is a pleasant
little gentleman socially, too"

Twas Buckwheat!

Two handsome young ladies of Reyn-

since and when crossing the river to the
Market street station on the G. & M.
they commented on field OF grain
hardly. One OF the ladies said "that Is
beautiful field Of wheat" The other
said, "that is not wheat. Don't you
know the difference between wheat and
rye?" When the girls got home one OF
them told her mother about the field Of
rye at Clearfeld. She said 'it was about
foot high, red stem and white flowers
on top" II was field OF buckwheat.

Cows Disappearing.

Six or seven cows have disappeared
in the Paradise Settlement within a
radius Of three miles since early in
June. Where they have gone is a
mystery to the owners of the bovines,
as there is no trace of them. Last
week an article appeared in the Du-
Bois Courier about several cows
disappearing at that place and the
owners finding their hides at the Pen
field tannery. One of the COWS had
been bought by the butcher at Penfield
from strange young man who drove
the cow into town. Perhaps the
Paradise cows have been driven away
and sold. 1t seems strange they would
all stray away and nothing ever heard
Of them. 1t is mans duty, II cow
strays on his premises, to advertise
hor, but an investigation has been
made and none Of the cows have been
advertised.

FORGOT His Coat.

A preacher of the gospel, who tends
the sheep-fold for flock in the neigh
borhood Of Panic, had to do some trad
ing before he was ready to enter the
pulpit few Sundays ago. He put on
a long duster and went TO the barn
to get his horse to drive to his
appointment, intending to take of the
duster and put on his ministerial coat
before he left home, but he forgot IT
and had to trade his duster to one of
the brethren for broad-cloth to wear
while in the pulpit.

Wednesday evening, Sept. 9Th. The
young man, who was eighteen years old,
was crossing the field on his way home
from the Sprsgue mine, where he
worked, just as a storm cloud was ap-
pearing and his mother called to him 10
drive the horse In from the pasture
field. The horse, which was considered
the LATEST animal on the place, walked
to slow for the boy and he hit It with a
stick and the horse kicked him with
one foot just below the right ribs and
injured him internally. There was not
q mark on his body. The boy and his
parents thought there was nothing
seriously wrong, but doctor was sent
for and not until few hours before he
died was the real danger comprehended.
His body bursted open after death.
The remains were buried In the Pros
pect cemetery Friday afternoon. The
funeral services were conducted by Rev.
=. J. Slattery, the M. T.. minister Of

so did the players. Frank chased the
man whom he wanted to subpoena TO

"The guilty fleeth when no man pur-

were "goners." II is said an officer OF
