Steve Stone and Hamp Stone and a

absolutely against the rules of the
party for one to step across another's
fishing pole. If one did happen to

anything-its bad luck to commence.

Close Call.

Frank Stauffer, young son Of David
B. Stauffer in West Reynoldsville, came
very nearly "shuflling off this mundane
sphere" last Monday afternoon by the
revolver route. Frank and Joseph Sti-
YER, another lad of West Reynoldsville,
went after their cows on the day men,
toned and Joe had revolver with him
TO shoot bears or wild cats. When the
boys got some distance from the houses
Of that borough Joe drew the 32-calibre,
self-acting, revolver out OF his pocket
and squinted into the mouth Of the
''pesky" thing but failed to see the
bullets hidden therein and decided it
was not loaded. Frank wanted to see
the innocent looking weapon and Joe
handed it TO him and at the same time
playfully pulled the trigger, and then
the boys found that the thing was alive.
The ball entered Franks face just be-
low the right eye and came out near his
ear and then passed through his ear.
Frank says he tumbled over several
times and when he gathered himself up
Joe Silver was making quick time
through the woods for home. Frank
will have sore head for sometime. 1t
was very narrow escape from sudden
death for the boy. Had Joe pulled the
trigger when he was looking into the
revolver his parents would have had to
bury him with just part of his head at
tached to the body. Revolvers are like
mules, you don't know when they will
go of. 1t is not likely that Joe will
carry a revolver soon again. Too many
boys in this town carry revolvers.

Found Dead In Bed.

Last Saturday morning Lester M.
Hartman, son Of Clinton S. Hart
man, was found dead in bed. The boy
had not been feeling well all week, but
was at school on Thursday. Friday
night he walked up stairs TO bed as
usual. He took some medicine before
going TO bed which would not remain on
his stomach. He went TO sleep about
half past nine. Mr.. Hartman got up
before five o'clock to go to his work and
went to the bed where his two boys
were sleeping and asked Lester how he
was feeling. The youngest boy answer
ed and said, ~ am all right" Mr..
Hartman thought IL was Lester who
had answered him and after breakfast
he went to work without going up stairs
to see the boys. Between six and seven
o'clock zella, Mr.. Hartman's only
daughter, got out OF bed and went into
Testers room for her clothing, which
were on his bed, and she discovered her
brother was gasping for breath. She
ran down stairs and gave the alarm,
but before assistance reached the lad
the silken thread Of life had been brok-
en-. Heart trouble is supposed to have
nipped his young life. The funeral
services were held at the house on Hill
street Sunday afternoon, conducted by
Rev. p. J. Slattery, and the remains Of
the boy we're buried in Beulah cemetery
beside his mother who died about two
years ago. Lester was a quiet and love-
able little fellow and his sudden death
was quite a blow to his father. He
was eight years, seven months and two
days old.
Some falsifier circulated the report
that the boy died from the effect of hard
whipping received at school on Thurs
day. Just why any person would start
such falsehood is not comprehensive
to minds of honest people, for the boy
did not receive whipping on the day
mentioned nor any other time since
school began.

Herald and Tribune.

Last Friday afternoon we received
four copies Of the Falls Creek Herald
dated Sept. 2lst, and when we called
for the evening mail we found another
copy of the same issue in The STAR box.
We spoke TO the p. M. about 1t and
were informed that several other Reyn-
oldsville people had received about the
same number OF the same issue. The
Postmaster then showed us q waste
basket full and large pile Of Heralds
Of Sept. 2lst that we're directed to Reyn-
oldsville people who refused to lift them
out Of the Office. The p. M. also said,
tomorrow morning we will receive q
large bundle Of Dubois Iribunes that,
with the exception Of three or four, will
also be fred in one corner OF the office
because the people refuse to lift them"
The p. M. said he had notified the pub
fishers and still they were annoyed with
the papers every week.

Died Monday.

Eliza Jane Porter, maiden lady who
has made her home with her sister, Mrs.
Aaron Rodgers, in Reynoldsville, for
nineteen years, died at 11.00 A. M. on
Monday and was buried at 2.30 p. M.
yesterday in Beulsh cemetery. Rev.
H. r. johnson conducted the funeral
services. The deceased was GA years,
9 months and IA days old. She had
been a member Of the Lock Haven M.
E. church for many years. For years
1t was difficult for her to hear and for
that reason she did not attend church in
Reynoldsville and did not bring her let
ter to the M. E. church at this place.
She was born in Lewistown, Mifflin

Good Pay IN the West.

Prof. Harry Pattison, an ex-principal
Of the Reynoldsville schools, is now city
superintendent Of the New Whatcom
schools. Washington state. The city
superintendent died Aug. 25th and
Prof. Pattison was elected to his place.
The New Whatcom schools began Sept.
4th with an enrolment OF 954, q few
more pupils than those Of our schools,
but while the work here is done by twelve
teachers they employ twenty-eight
teachers at New Whatcom. The pay
roll there for teachers per month is
1875; in Reynoldsville the pay roll is
very little over 100000 per month. In
the western country the people appre-
ciate school teachers and think they
are worthy Of good wages. And they
are right. Good teachers cannot well
afford to prepare themselves to teach
and work for salary anywhere from
thirty-fve to fifty dollars a month.
Thirty-fve dollars month is too low
an estimate on the education OF the
boys and girls of this county.

"Not Guilty"

Several months ago one Ambros Sny-
der brought suit against a number OF
the good citizens of Falls Creek charg-
ing them with riot, felony, &c. The
case occupied several days of the Jetfer-
son county court last week and the ver-
dict was, mot guilty" The defendants
to pay their own costs and county to pay
costs on the other side. The instigator
OF the suit, Snyder, got $1.00 per day
witness fees. The case was the outcome
OF big calithumpian serenade at Falls
Creek the latter part Of last June. The
serenaders were not out for devilish-
ness, only for sport, but the charges
were OF a serious nature. 1t is safe to
say that the participants will not soon
indulge in such friendly sport again.

Gushing on Tariff.

Hon. Volney B. Cushing, of Maine,
delivered Prohibition address In Gem
tennial Hall last Wednesday evening
II was very wet evening and only
about one hundred people were present
to hear him. Mr.. Gushing did not
make a TRADE upon the old political
parties, nor did he use any superauous
words, but his talk was logical. He Is
fine looking man. His face looks too
young for his silvery-covered head. He
proved to be a fluent and pleasant speak
err. Mr.. Cushing made brief mention
Of the tariff question. He said the tariff
question is not a political issue but that
IL is matter of business. He believes
our government should have board of
commissioners who have made political
economy a study to make thorough
investigation OF the tariff question and
see where low tariff, or high tariff,
or a no tariff would work to the best in
terest of our people. With such board
tariff matters that might spring up
could be settled in few hours, where
under the present system our law
makers take months and even years to
do the work. Mr.. Cushing's point was
illustrated in this way: The potato crop
in France had been almost a complete
failure and there was duty on import
ed potatoes. The neighboring countries
had plenty Of potatoes and the French
men wanted them but the duty was too
high. The board on such matters look
ed the matter up and in one day had the
duty taken of potatoes and relieved the
potato famine, while II it had been in
this country our congress could not have
settled the question until the needs had
long passed away.

Ride Without a Driver.

The Hotel Mcconnell bus team de-
livered bus full of people from the A.
V. R'y to the hotel barn through the
rain and dark last Wednesday evening
without driver. The east bound train
was an hour late and after it arrived
Thomas Black, who drives the bus
team, went to the telegraph Office to
find out If the westbound train was late.
John Farley, the porter, did not know
Mr.. Black had gone to the Office and
when the passengers were all in he
slammed the bus door and yelled, "all
rightw The team started and made all
the turns but did not stop at the hotel.
The passengers did not know they were
travelling up street without driver un-
til it was too late to get frightened.
The team narrowly escaped running the
bus into the ditch short distance from
the station.
