Board Of Trade? oh. Yesl

Every live town should have a live
Board of Trade. Some time ago Reyn-
oldsville organized Board Of Trade
and IL was q lively creature for short
time and has one offspring-the big
woolen mill-as u result Of active work
done. Has dissolution taken place or
has II become so drowsy that II will be
impossible to ever get it out Of the leth-
argy IL has fallen into? When the
Board was organized everything was
done in business like manner and bid
fair to be one Of the best things ever or
ganized for the welfare OF the town.
About the first discouragement was the
non-attendance at the meetings. At
times it was almost impossible to get
enough together to make a quorum.
When the Board was organized one
gentleman, who has an eye to business,
was so well pleased with the evidence
Of enterprise manifested that he gave
his check for $500 to help give the
Board life. Many others paid their
membership fee Of two dollars at that
time, while others who we're we'll able
to pay lost their interest in the Board
before they even paid in their two dol
lars. The fact OF the matter is that a
town without coed, active Board of
Trade is not sin 1t" in this fast age. It
is the town that is on the lookout that
gets the manufacturing establishments.
Do you want any factories in Reynolds
vile? Then awake the Board out of its
lethargy and to business. 1t is stated
that the managers of the Wilkesbarre
lace works are looking about for new
location. Would you like to have the
works moved to Reynoldsville? Let
the gentlemen know 1t and give them a
cordial invitation to come and see our
town. In the language of the Punxsu-
tawney NecS, "we want more sights of
factories and fewer sites for factories"
There is one consolation II the Board is
defunct the three story brick wooden
mill is large enough for a monument
for such short lived Board OF Trade.

Jumping Beans.

The jumping beans on exhibition in
one OF the windows Of Riston's cigar
store are a puzzle to many people who
watch them. These curiosities come
from abroad. They are very lively lit
tie things and when placed on surface
jump about or roll over in most erratic
fashion. Their antics, which seem
very mysterious, are occasioned by the
presence in the interior Of the bean OF
a nervous little worm, which is con-
stantly kicking up. The little fellow is
not desirous of getting out, for If hole
is made in the bean, the worm will
proceed to seal it up and continue his
high-kicking performance. The exer-
tions of the worm cause the irregular
shaped bean to travel about in erratic
fashion.

Caught at York.

In the court proceedings published in
THE STAR several weeks ago, mention
was made that the grand jury had
found true bill against James and
William Reinard for selling liquor
without license and to miners, and that
William had skipped for pastures
green" In this age of civilization it is
pretty hard for a man to escape the
clutches of the law long, especially il
he remains in the state. William
Reinard went to York county, Pa,
joining the Maryland line, thinking he
would be safe from the officers of Jeffer-
son, but he ''got left" on that, for
Sheriff Gourley got track Of him and
escorted William to the Jefferson coun-
ty Jail last.

K. G. Z. Reunion.

The Northwestern Reunion Associa-
tion Of the Knights Golden Eagle was
held at Brockwayville on Wednesday of
last week, which was big affair for
that town. The town was handsomely
arrayed in gala attire, and nothing was
left undone to make the reunion pleas
ant success. There were between one
and two thousand visitors in attendance.
The Eagles spread themselves over the
town until about noon and then rain
dampened their gay feathers. The pa
rade formed at 100 p. M. with between
300 and 400 knights and Ladies in line,
and they traversed the boulevards Of
the town amidst delightful music and
rain. Mountain Cliff Castle No. 359, of
Reynoldsville, won the prize $25 for
largest attendance and best appearance
in parade. Pleasant Valley Temple No.
25, Ladies Of X. G. f. of this place, cap
tured the prize of $l5 for their appear
ance and number The Keystone band
accompanied the Eagles to Brockway-
vile. The next reunion will be held at
Punxsutawney.
The scribe of this paper was at Brock
wayville Wednesday afternoon and we
found pleasant and sober crowd.
The greatest attraction, after the pa
rade and speech making, was the ferris
wheel. This thrilling-sensation pro-
ducer drew patronage like molasses
draws flies, and some of the boys stuck
to il as long as their nickles lasted.

Fond of Chicken.

Preachers are not the only people
that trod mother earth who delight in
devouring chickens. The N. 7. L. of
the Reynoldsville Presbyterian church,
which is composed of eight or ten young
ladies, is getting reputation as 'chick-
en-eaters." The ladies of this society
have been fortunate enough to get
numerous invitations to dine with
friends recently and their fondness for
chicken proceeded them and when they
gathered around the festive board their
favorite dish occupied conspicuous
place among the palatable dishes pre-
pared for the occasion. No one would
think OF inviting the N. Y. L. out for a
meal now without wringing the necks
off OF several chickens. BY the way,
the N. T. l.. is composed OF good work.

Reynoldsville, the big day of the
Knights of the Golden Eagle. The

Ball Game Thursday.

The New Bethlehem ball club came
to Reynoldsville Thursday noon to play
two games with the home club, but rain
stopped the second game at the end of
the second inning. The largest crowd
that has attended game at this place
this season, witnessed the game. The
batteries were, New Bethlehem, Johns
ton and Schrecongost; Reynoldsville,
Bitters and Hunter. Johnston, the
visitors colored pitcher, got ratified
and our boys batted him at will for
several innings. In the sixth inning
Johnston got out of the pitchers box
and Franklin man began twirling the
ball, but he did not have speed enough
to "fan our boys out" rapidly. Bitters
was down to business Thursday and
pitched good game. Walter Williams
got good ''swipe" at the ball and
knocked it so far that before the New
Bethlehem boys got it back to home
base Williams had scored. The home
club put up good game. Walter Will
liams pitched the first inning of the
second game. Score for first game was
q to IA in favor Reynoldsville.

Blood Poisoned.

George Schwem has had very sore
right hand and arm for ten days. He
was tending bar at Hotel Dillman and
had little pimple on his hand which
he picked open about 900 A. M. and con-
tinued at his work. It was not long un-
til his hand began to swell and by noon
the hand and wrist was skin tight, and
for few days Mr.. Schwem was in a
critical condition. The beer spigots are
brass and it is supposed, of course, that
he was poisoned from the spigots while
handling beer.

Gloystein. ID appears, has been found.
He hiss not been murdered. as there was
abundant reason TO believe. but has been
working on farm in Oregon and has
been endeavoring to conceal his identity.
His whereabouts was made known
through the efforts of Sheriff Pugh, of
Spokane county. who has been following
up the case persistently since the reported
disappearance.
0loystein explains his extraordinary
behavior by saying that he vas afraid of
the Popnlists In his ueigbborhood and
made his hurried flight in order that they
might not do him an injury. lie does not
explain. however. why he took such pre-
cautions TO leave ths impression that he
had been taken away by other persons, or
why he despatched his hat with blood and
left II where IL would certainly be found.
The truth seems 10 be that Gioystein is a
ncioriety loving ass. lie had become
somewhat prominent from the threats
made against him by his Pop1list neigh
bors. and he apparently wanted to become
more prominent, by getting up n fake muir
der all of his own. lie was certainly sue
eesslul in securing the prominence which
he desired. but NO doubt whether his
neighbors will welcome him back to his
home with expressions of JOY.
