Mrs. Watson Dead.

Mrs. Jos. S. Watson died at her home
on jackson street at 8. 10 p. M. Saturday,
August 18th, from the effects of con-
sumption. She had been a constant
sufferer for almost three years. She
fell asleep about a half hour before
dissolution took place aud she
never awoke again. She was con-
scious up to the time when she fell
asleep. Her maiden name was
Mary Fauver, daughter Of Mr.. and
Mrs. John Fauver. She was born in
Center county in 1888 and was SO years,
months and II days old at the time Of
her death. On the 23rd Of August, 1857,
Joseph s. Watson and Mary Fauver
were united In marriage at Clearfeld.
Unto them five children were born, two
girls and four boys. One daughter pre-
ceeded the mother from time into eter-
nifty. The husband and four children,
as follows, survive the deceased: Mrs.
John A. Doyle, OF Clarion, Elmer f.,
Harry J. and Chas. F. Watson. Mr..
and Mrs. Watson moved to Reyn-
oldsville seventeen years ago, and
hence are well known in this place
Mrs. Watson had many friends who
were sorry to hear Of her demise. The
funeral services were held at her late
home at 1000 A. M. yesterday, conduct
ed by Rev. H. r. johnson, pastor of the
Presbyterian church, of which Mrs.
Watson was member, and her remains
were buried in Beulah cemetery. This
is the first member of the Reynoldsville
Presbyterian church that has died since
Rev. johnson became pastor of the
church, fifteen months ago. Thus one
by one the human family passes into the
Great Beyond.
The pail bearers were VIM. NJ. Foster,
Jos. j. Shaffer, Major Epler, Jas. p.

Ate Fly Paper.

p. A. Hardman's ten-month-old boy
came very nearly making vacant place
in that family last Friday morning.
Mrs. Hardman was working in the
kitchen and the baby was creeping
around on the floor and got under the
table. The mother heard the boy ap.
parently having good time and paid
little attention to him. After a while
the baby came out from under the table
very sick and began vomiting. When
he threw up some brown fly paper his
mother was badly frightened because
she knew her baby was poisoned. DR..
Neale was called quickly who gave the
child an antid0te and by evening It was
out OF danger. Mrs. Hardman had In
tended burning the fly paper but 1t fell
down behind the table and was forgot.

Don't Waste II.

During the drought from which this
section of the country is suffering, the
equal of which we have not experienced
for many years, the supply from the
Reynoldsville water works has not
failed, but we have been informed by
Mr.. Sterley that unless it soon rains
that the water supply will have to be
husbanded so as to be ready In case a
fire should visit our town. Mr.. Sterley
says there is enough water yet but re-
quests the people to be saving and not
to waste any water. There is too much
water wasted for sprinkling and in
other ways. Economize on the water
until the earth is visited with copious
showers.

A Young Prisoner,

The following reward notice has been
conspicuous in the A. V. R'y stations
along the Low Grade and other places
since last April: "The A. V. R'y Co.
will pay reward of fifty dollars for
such information as will enable It to ar
rest and convict the person or persons
who on March 10th, 1894, between 12. 43
and 1.5S o'clock p. NJ, put or placed an
angle bar, link and pin on one of the
rails OF its railroad track at point
about three quarters of a mile east of
Fullers station, at culvert near a
spring." The people of Reynoldsville
were surprised to learn that fourteen
year old boy of our town had been ac-
cused Of placing the obstruction on the
track, yet such was the case and La
verne Rumbaugh is now in Brookville
Jail awaiting the decision of the Court
on the case. The boy has acknowledged
to the deed. On the day the obstruc-
tion was put on the track Laverne
jumped a freight train and rode to
Brookville and there got on freight
coming to Reynoldsville. He was put
off at Iowa and had to walk home and it
was while on his way home that he set
the trap. The west bound passen-
ger train was the first train due at that
point, but on the day referred to the
freight train that Rumbaugh had been
put of OF was returning west as first
section Of the passenger train and the
obstruction was seen in time to prevent q
catastrophe. F. p. Addlesperger, spe-
cial detective for the A. v. R'y, got
to hunting the case up and was not long
in discovering the guilty party but it
took him some time to get evidence
enough to convict the boy. Addlesper-
ger arrested the boy last Wednesday
afternoon and put him in the lookup
and he made confession to the officer
The boy was taken to jail on the even
ing train.

Who Was He?

A Swede who lives in the neighbor-
hood Of Falls Creek, whose name could
not be learned, was in Reynoldsville one
day last week visiting and taking a
social glass with some OF his country
men. When ready to go home it was
evident that he had tarried too long at
the beer mug. He got into his buggy,
applied the gad freely and smashed the
borough ordinance, for fast driving, in
to smithereens. At the East End of
Main street he ran into cart in which
two women and baby were riding. A
wheel was torn off the cart, the occu-
pants thrown out and the baby badly in
jured, but the drunken Swede did not
stop to help gather up the wreck he had
caused

Contemplate Trick,

Some person was contemplate enough
to peel large piece of bark off Of every
shade tree In front of the Presbyterian
church. The act was done one night
last week. The trees were set out last
Arbor Day and wore not far advanced
but that would not excuse the guilty
one II the parties who set the trees out
could find the person who peeled the
trees. The man or boy who would be
guilty Of destroying shade trees would
not hesitate long about incendiarism II
they had q grudge at any person Such
acts are the blossoms from q very evil
disposition.

with the other four, it viii not be long be-
fore he has the fifth one back. Vices are

many have you? Any that you want to
part with? We cure the vices called the
tobacco habit, liquor habit and opium
habit.
BY the way, we don't like that name
habit. Disease describes it great deal
better. We can cure you of these dis
eases, but IL you are fool enough to want
to have them back again, you can get
them. Fool2 Yes, we said Fool There
