Prof. List Coming.

The eminent blind pianist and cele-
brated lecturer will give the people Of
this section something they have never
had the opportunity of hearing or see
ing before. AS pianist he stands
alone, his equal has never been heard.
His rendition OF the Battle of Gettys-
burg is acknowledged by all to be the
most intense and thrilling piece of
music ever produced. 1t sways the
audience as the first days battle is
fought and moves almost to tears when
the burying of the dead takes place.
AS a lecturer he is wonderful. The
Altoona Times of Sept. Bird devoted one
third of column of its paper in praise
of the wonderful and gifted nature Of
this man. Mostly his engagements
have been confined to large cities of
the United States and Canada, and is
but little known in the interior of the
states. He has appeared in the capitol
city OF our state, Harrisburg, no less
than nine times in the past three years.
His last appearance there, one month
ago, was greeted by over 1900 people,
packing the Opera house to the doors.
He will be in Kittanning Oct. 1st, New
Bethlehem End, Brookville Ord, Reyn-
oldsville 4th, Dubois 5th, Punxsutaw-
ney 9th, Altoona 18th to 18th.

Genuine Encouragement.

We received letter from promi-
nent school teacher in jefferson county
last week and its contents was that
which has tendency to encourage a
newspaper man when money and news
are hard TO get hold Of. The letter
started out thusly: "Find enclosed the
amount to pay my subscription for THE
STAR" and then finished up by saying:
"My opinion is that THE STAR is the
best county paper we have in this coun-
ty." The young man should be elected
superintendent OF jefferson county when

Silver Lake Ouartette,

The Silver Lake Quartette gave an
entertainment to small crowd in Cen
tennial Hall Saturday evening. After
four or five excellent pieces of music
were rendered by the Quartette Rev.
Mead, who is one of the singers, talked
one hour and ten minutes on temper
ance. The Quartette sang several
selections before closing. On Sunday
evening the Quartette gave a gospel
song service in the M. Il. church. The
building was not large enough to &C.
commodate the large crowd and many
had to return to their homes who could
not get into the church.

New Railroad.

There are many railroads in this sec
tion to-day, but il all the railroads were
actually built that the newspapers are
building the country would be a COM
plete network of railroads. 1t is now
rumored that the Buffalo, Rochester &
Pittsburg railway is to be extended to
Pittsburg. We have made inquiry and
can find no one who will either deny or
confirm the report, and therefore, we
are lead to believe there is some truth
in the rumor. This will connect with
the Beach Creek and give short line
through the state from Pittsburg to
the seaboard.

Not Satisfied.

The people of the east end of Reyn-
oldsville want two things and will not
be satisfied until they get them. One
is the extension Of the paving Of Main
street to that end Of town. The other
is water for fire protection. The plug
at Ed. Clark's is the last one on Main
street and the people near the borough
line have no protection, but they pay
water tax all the same. The citizens of
that section claim that when another
fire occurs there the borough will be
sued for damage II the fire protection
is not given. When the matter is care
fully considered it is no wonder they
are not satisfied.

speedy Punishment.

We learn from the Geldendale Sentinel
that VIM. Helm, a young man aged about
20 years, was ar ested at Arlington by
Sheriff Macy and br ught here last Sunday
cha ged with the crineTof cattle stealing.
Helms parents, it is said reside somewhere
in Yakima county. q e ha been working
for some time past for J. 7. McCready, of
Bickleton, and while there had negotiated
with an Arlington butcher for the sale Of a
steer. The animal not having been 'deliv.
cred at the time promised, the Arlington
man made inquiry of some of Helms ac-
quaintance4 who. knew that: t::Helm had no
cattle, with the result that Helm was
closely watched, and last Friday the fellow
was practically caught in the act of at
tempting to take the steer across the rider
on the Arlington ferry. Helm had found it
had lassoed the animal by the foot and tied
the end of the lariat to large stone when
j. T. McCready and G. w. IcCready ar.
rested him and took him over to Arlington:
j. t. McCrsady then telegraphed to Sheriff
Macy. Mr. Macy found Helm wi ling to
come back to this de OF the river and be
arrested. This was done, and the prisoner
was taken back to Arlington and from there
brought here as above stated. Helm was
promptly arraigned Monday before Judge
Smith. He pleaded guilty and was SEN
tencsd to Is months hard labor in the
state penitentiary. The steer attempted
to be disposed of was the property of Ben
Suipes.

ing Wood & Lilly on a drive of l,500, 600
feet of logs for the Harrisburg mill. The
water in Mill creek was very high and the
current strong. The loggers were employed
breaking jam at an old drift. The logs
started, and a long log shot out on the bank
just above tree. The moving logs caught
the end remaining in the creek and swung
the other end rapidly up the bank, the tree
forming fulcrum. Crawford was standing
on the bank and was caught by the log and
carried along to a drift above, where his
head was caught between the log and drift.

A Return of a wanderer,

Last fall two boys conceived the idea that
they would try the world for themselves,
and between two days took French leave Of
parents and relatives and took the direction
towards California. They managed to steal
rides on trains without having to reimburse
the railroad company for conveyance, and
finally reached Southern California, where
they did whatever they could find to do.
Picking oranges gave them easy if not prof
table emplo, ment for some time. and they
tried to manfully earn livelihood. But
this way of living soon became monotonous,
and they began to pine for the home fireside
and the comforts and care of the piternal
hearth. Last night. one of the boys. Ben
Wagonblast, returned, and he is a veritable
hero for the time being with his COM
panions. He has strange stories to tell OF
adventures in the wonderful southland, and
considers himself competent to battle with
the ills to which flesh is heir. bis next
journey will be towards the sound, and his
destination at present is the great and
growing citv of Seattle. He left the other
boy in Redding, Calf, and it is not known
when he will come back.
