Malitia in left. Co.

About 1000 MALTA men are now en-
camping at the various mines near
Punxsutawney. The soldiers were
taken into that section last Friday.
Barring two or three little outbreaks
everything has been quiet at Adrian
and Walston since the soldiers appeared.
Sixty new men were shipped into Walls
ton Monday with the understanding that
new mines were being opened and that
they could make big wages. When the
men arrived at Walston and found out
the true condition Of affairs they refused
to work and were soon making arrange
ments to return to Buffalo from whence
they came. 1t is claimed that few
men are working at Anita who do not
want to work but are compelled to
work.

Won High Honors.

Through the ability of two of our
young people and the Keystone
and Prescottville bands Reynolds
vile received honors last week that
we are not ashamed Of. On Tues
day, June 10th, Miss Gertrude Farrell
graduated from the st. Elizabeth Acad-
emy at Allegany, N. Y, with the high
est honors Of the graduating class
resting upon her. There were about
one hundred and fifty graduates who
came from all parts of the United
States, and yet one of Reynoldsville's
handsome young ladies stood at the
head OF the class. Miss Farrell's educa-
tion is not confined to books, music and
drawing only, but she can manage the
culinary department of house to suit
the most fastidious epicurean, for
which, however, her mother deserves
credit. There are too many girls in
our land to-day who can daub little
paint on canvas or thump piano to
pieces, who are no earthly good to
themselves or any person else. Miss
Farrell wears a gold medal that was
placed upon her by Monsignor Satoli.
On June Goth Edward Driscoll grad
uated from the st. Bonaventure College,
Allegheny, N. Y, with the hihgest
honors Of that institution resting upon
him. This school, like the st. Eliza
beth Academy, is filed with young
men from all parts Of the country, but
Edward was too much for any or all Of
them and he stood at the head. Ed
ward also received q gold medal from
the hands OF Monsignor Satoli. Edward
is an orphan and we are glad he has
proven his ability to master the books Of
large college.
On Thursday the Keystone band won
the first prize at the band contest at
Dubois and the Prescottville band won
the fourth prize.

An Old Settler.

Hugh Cooper, brother Of our towns
man, Ninian Cooper, died at the home
of his brother, James, in Beechwoods at
5.0OA. NJ. yesterday. The deceased cele-
brated his 73rd birthday several weeks
ago. He was a bachelor and was one Of
the old settlers of the Beechwoods.
He seemed to be worn out in lifes bat
tie and died from old age. His funeral
will be held at the home of his brother,
James Cooper, this afternoon and his
remains will be buried in the Beech
woods cemetery. Rev. Geo. II. Hill will
conduct the services. The deceased was
a great bible student, in fact his read
ing was confined to the bible.

The Democratic primaries at Reyn-
oldsville and surrounding precincts

"Jim Dandy" Bands.

For some time we have been blowing
about the Keystone band being an Or
ganization that the town has reason to
be proud Of, and the boys proved last
Thursday that such praise was not all
wind by any means, when they covered
themselves with glory by winning the
first prize at the band tournament at
Dubois, and they had excellent bands
to compete with. The piece they play
ed for the prize was an overture en-
titled "The Champion" The band was
met at the S.42 train Thursday evening
on their return from Dubois by large
crowd Of citizens and were escorted up
Main street amid cheers and red lights
burning at various places on the street.
The people were as anxious to see the
band after the victory they won as they
are to see bride and groom make their
first appearance. The Keystone boys
haye no uniforms, which they should
have by all means, and 1t is said when
they stepped up to take their turn in
the contest and Richard Ramsey, the
leader, took off his coat and threw IL
onto the ground that some people who
did not know the band began to "guy"
them as buckwheat band, but the boys
knew how to play piece good enough
to win first prize that none OF the eight
bands In the contest could play. You
can't always sometimes tell by the looks
Of toad how far II can hop. The Key
stone was composed Of just as fine look
ing men as any band at the tournament,
but they did not wear uniforms.
While the Keystone is being praised
for its fine music itshould not be forgot
ten that the Prescottville band has few
superiors in this section as a musical
organization, and that it was only by an
accident that this band did not come in
for larger prize than the fourth prize
which they won. When this band was
playing the contesting piece there was
one part to be played by one horn only
and at this particular point the horn,
on account of the heat and dust, refused
to perform its work as it should have
done and the Prescottville band lost
number of points there
