Business, Not Pleasure,

There is some talk of charging fare
on the wagonette between Rathmel and
Reynoldsville and issuing cards and the
money to be refunded when the people
buy goods at any of the stores. 1t is
claimed that people who do not make
purchases in town ride back and forth
and crowd out those who do want to buy
goods. The wagonette is not run for
mere accommodation of those who want
to come to Reynoldsville for the "fun Of
the thing" but it is to haul those who
want to patronize the merchants of
Reynoldsville. 1t is likely that some
plan will be adopted soon so that only
those who have business in town will
ride in the wagonette.

Break in Gas Line.

For the first time in five years the
people who burn gas in Reynoldsville
had 1t shut of on them about ten o'clock
Saturday night and it was not turned
on again until eight o'clock Sunday
morning. Wood was in demand Sunday
morning by the early risers to cook
their morning meal. Those who re-
mained in bed late found gas at their
service when they got up. Degnan g.
McDonalds men, working in the woods
above Sandy Valley, fell tree on the
gas line crossing little ravine and as
there was nothing under the pipe to
protect it, the fall Of the tree snapped it
asunder. The pipe did not separate and
the power OF the gas in the pipe forced
enough through to give a small pres
sure at this place so that the merchants
who light with gas were not compelled
to close their stores for want of light.
Once in five years is good record, but
as an accident may occur at any time,
and cold weather is making haste in
this direction, it would be we'll for peo-
pie who burn gas to lay in a good sup
ply of wood to use in case the gas is
shut of some cold night. Some people
found it very convenient to have sup
ply OF dry wood on hand Sunday morn
ing.

Musical Treat.

The entertainment given in the opera
house Friday night by the Knoll & Nc
Neil Musical Novelty Co., under the
auspices Of the Keystone band, was a
rare treat for the large audience that
greeted the company. Miss Mcneil,
the cornetist, captivated the audience,
and Miss Madge Colson, the pianist,
won praise for her performance on the
piano. 1t was advertised that Miss
Colson would play any piece of music at
sight that was given her. Miss Belle
Arnold, who is fine pianist, has a
piece OF music which is almost too diff
cult for her TO master, which she took
to the opera house with her Friday
evening and gave it to Geo. Beck to
give to Miss Colson, and she played the
piece without mistake. The company
is so highly praised by the people who
attended the entertainment that II they
come this way again they will draw a
packed house.

Courier Objects.

The Reynoldsville band, which was
over here yesterday, was the subject of
much favorable comment. II Is the
greatest band in this part of the State.
The Excelsior band, Of Dubois, used to
be entitled TO that distinction, but the
Reynoldsville band could now give that
aggregation the 15-ball and beat IL out
with no extra exertion. SO we are in
formed by man who says he knows all
about such matters. rs.-Punxsutawney
Spirit.
The Keystone band has been receiy-
ing numerous complimentary notices
this year for their excellent music, and
the Dubois Courier must have squirmmed
considerably TO see these notices, but
could find no excuse TO give vent TO the
pent up feelings Of that sheet until the
above notice appeared in the Spirit,
then our neighbor, in quarter column
article headed, "Play, then do the
boasting," takes exceptions to the as
seisions made by the Spirit, and says
''Taking full account OF the past, all
such stuff as the above is nothing more
nor less than bombast, issued at time
when the excellency Of the Dubois band
is supposed to be seriously impaired"
The Spirit acknowledges that the Ex-
celsior band used to be the greatest band
In this part Of the state, but IT is the
present, not the past, that is now con-
sidered. IL is too bad that "a disagree
ment recently occurred in the Excelsior
organization which resulted, unfortun-
ately, In several OF the members with
drawing and temporarily affecting its
proficiency" but IL remains fact just
the same that the Keystone is now
better band than the Excelsior. II is
silly prattle for the Courier to try to
convince its readers that the Excelsior
band is superior to the Keystone, and
In the same article acknowledge that
the 'excellency of the Dubois band is
supposed to be seriously impaired"
Don't get discouraged; If the Excelsior
practices hard it may become great
band" sometime in the sweet by and by,
but until that time don't try to rest on
the reputation of the past. This is a
progressive age.

Hard to Find.

S. f. Brewer, tax collector of West
Reynoldsville, is having some trouble
in collecting tax from some of the
Polanders of that borough. The
assessor had difficulty in getting their
names, and now the collector finds, with
the change of the season, their names
change. Some of them are very impu-
dent about it too. The assessor and tax
collector of this borough have about
the same experience with the likes and
Polanders.

Robbers at the Tannery.

We mentioned last week that robbers
had gained an entrance into the tannery
Office on the 7th inst. and were unsuc-
cessful in getting money or any other
valuables only j. d. Woodring's gold
spectacles. 1t is evident that the rob-
bers were not satisfied with their un-
successful attempt for "boodle" and
that they thought the company kept
money in the Office, for on Monday
night of this week they broke into the
Office again and opened the safe and car
ried the inner box Of the safe away with
them and broke it open back Of stump
a short distance above the tannery, but
finding nothing in the box but papers
that were worthless to them, they
covered 1t up so the papers would not
get wet In case Of rain and then retired
to their homes. There is no doubt but
that both attempts TO rob the tannery
company was done by local talent.

"His Nibs, the Baron"

This production, given last evening
at the Opera House, has no excuse for
existing except for the purpose of Great
ing laughter, and from the hearty
reception it received from the audience
it deserves to be credited with having
scored success. There is some SEM
blance to a plot in it, the details of
which are presented with sufficient
clearness to serve its purpose, as an
amused audience does not care for con-
sistency. The parts were all we'll
assumed and the variety business in the
second act was lively and pleasing

Cooper Ahead.

John Dean, farmer from the Horn
Settlement, brought in several potatoes
that he thought were large enough to
put on exhibition, and they were put in
one of the windows at the Reynoldsville
Hardware Co. store. Ninian Cooper
saw the "murphies" and he put some on
exhibition in the same window that
made Deans look small beside them.
One of Cooper's potatoes weighed three
pounds, just six ounces more than two
of Deans potatoes weighed.

teachers institute at Brookville.
Unwise, indeed, are the parents who
will encourage their offsprings to re-
main away from school when they are
punished for some misdemeanor, especi-
ally when the punishment is not severe
or unreasonable.
The department of public instructions
recommends the observance of Friday,
Oct. 10Th, as autumn arbor day and
earnestly urges teachers to adopta suit
able program of exercises, including the
planting of one or more trees.
The teachers in the Reynolds block
are experimenting this week on not
giving their scholars recess either in
the forenoon or afternoon. The child
rem have no place to play but on Main
street, and for this reason they may be
denied the ten minutes recess.

When our ships all come in, when the

Time hangs up his sythe; when the
heavens are rolled up like a scroll;
when Gabriel blows the rams horn;
when the solar system collapses; when
we find the lost Charley Ross and the
man who struck Billy Patterson; when
Johnny gets his gun; when society be-
comes pure, and "after the ball is over"
then will be eternity.
