Death from La Grippe.

Mrs. G. B. Postlethwait died on Thurs
day morning, Jan. 18th, after a short
tussle with la grippe. She took sick
about four o'clock Monday morning
and died at 4.35 Thursday morning, the
disease having settled in her head.
The diseased, whose maiden name was
Cora Booth, daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs.
Jacob Booth of this place, was married
TO G. B. Postlethwait in March, 1893.
She was 81 years old last August. She
had been faithful member of the
Baptist church from early girlhood
days. She was an earnest, active and
devoted christian, always at her post in
the choir, Sunday school, Endeavor and
church. Her last testimony in the
church was: 'On Christ the Solid
Rock / Stand" Her dying testimony
was: ''My Jesus love thee, know
that thou art mine" A token of love
and esteem was presented by the Bap-
tist Christian Endeavor in the shape of
a rich floral anchor, cross and wreath.
Her funeral services were held in the
Baptist church Sunday afternoon, con-
Quoted by Rev. w. G. Patterson, Evan
gelist for Pa. State Baptist Mission
Society. His text was taken from John
1871: what do thou knowest not now;
but thou shalt know hereafter" Her
mortal remains were laid to rest in
the Baptist cemetery. The bereaved
husband and parents have the sympathy
OF many in their present sorrow.

Playing Opossum.

Constable Henry Silver, OF Clayville,
came over to Reynoldsville last Friday
after Jim Thompson, who is well known
here as the soldier with an impediment
in his speech. Jim was wanted at Clay
vile to answer for getting some
goods on false pretense. The con-
stable got Jim to the A. V. station but
just before the train arrived Jim took a
fit and when the train came in he was
stiff on the station floor and all attempts
to get him to speak or get up were
fruitless. DR.. Neale was called and he
put some chloroform to Jim's nose and
that brought him to time. The sup
position was that Jim was playing
opossum so that he would not have to
go to Clayville with the officer of the
law. Jim was given his liberty when it
was discovered he had no money.

No More, Thank You!

John M. Hays, who has filed the
Office Of Burgess Of the Borough of
Reynoldsville for two terms, has gotten
all the glory out of the Office that he
cares for and positively refused to be
nominated for the third term at the
Republican caucus last night. Mr..
Hays has made an excellent burgess.
There is considerable responsibility
resting on the burgess of this borough
and it is impossible for a man to dis
charge the duties that devolve upon him
in a manner to please all the people.
Who can satisfy the will-not-be-satisfie
howler? There are men in this town
who will not accept an Office Of respon-
sibility and yet they will sit around and
complain about the way things are
done, when the officeholders are doing
what they consider the very best for all
concerned. Mr.. Hays can be put on
the ex-burgess list feeling that he has
discharged his duties conscientiously
and to his credit.

The first mile toward the pit generally
looks as though it led straight to

Strip off all masks, and there is hardly

The reason II makes a liar mad to

Shoe Thieves.

Last Friday night robbers entered ID.
F. Robinson's shoe store and carried
sixteen pair of shoes away with them.
Six pair of the shoes were for ladies.
The robbers did not take the best shoes
in the store. The gang consisted Of
three men, two tall men and one short,
heavy set fellow. Two of them entered
the store for plunder and one remained
outside to watch for any intruders who
might happen to pass that way. doc"
Nugent, porter at Hotel Belnap, was
going down Main street and seeing a
man standing in front of Robinson's
store he started across the street to see
who it was and the watcher gave the
alarm by short whistle and his ''pards"
came out of the store and all three ran
down Main street. The shoes were in
boxes but the robbers took the shoes
and left the boxes. They gained an

The Irony of Fate.
lBrockwayville Record.l

lDiothWhy
A resident OF the village tells of an
acquaintance over in a Clearfield county
town who wanted to engage in the hotel
business, but was repeatedly refused a
license. Finally he came to the con-
clusion that his III success was due to
his politics. No one, he thought, of the
opposite political persuasion could ex-
pect any favors from Democratic
Judge. So he decided to change his
politics last fall when new president
Judge was to be elected. From an ar
dent Republican he became radical
Democrat and whooped 'er up for the
candidate of the latter party. Imagine
his chagrin when a Republican Judge
was elected, and to cap the climax the
polite gentleman's license was again
refused at the license court at Clearfeld
last week.

Got Plunder.

Last Friday night the clouds were
rolled away and the silvery moon drove
the darkness into the corners and made
the night very light, but notwithstand-
ing this IL seemed to be good night
for marauders to prowl around. Robin
sons shoe store was robbed and the
dwelling house Of Swede, who lives
near the coke ovens, was entered and
ten dollars in cash, gold watch and
two revolvers were taken therefrom
without the knowledge or consent of
the gentleman of the house.

Reasoning.

Is it not reasonable to suppose that
shoes bought and set on a shelf for
years lose the life that leather contains ?
Try it. Buy pair and set them away
at home for six months and see II they
are not rotten. We have no cheap,
shOddy goods which the dealers cater
to when they advertise lowest prices.
We can and we will undersell when it
comes to honest made shoes, but we
don't handle shoes with paper counters,
paper insoles and belly stock outer soles.
You can get them elsewhere. For
good shoes at honest prices go to Reeds.

VISITED BY WHITEcAps.
Given Ten Days to Skip-Anested for
Breaking the Law.


The story goes that man by name
of Snyder lived with his wife in shanty
above Prescottville, where other fe-
males were found occasionally, and the
neighbors we're under the impression
that the house was not what could be
termed very orderly, in fact they looked
upon 1t as ''disorderly house." Last
Tuesday night about fifteen men,
representing themselves TO be white
caps, eight or ten of them on horse
back, called at Snyder's and surrounded
the house. Several shots were fired
through one of the windows. The in
mates Of the house were badly fright
ened. A long rigmarole was read to
Snyder and his wife giving them ten
day to skip out. A young man was
found In the house whom the whitecaps
took out and held counsel over, at
first deciding to shoot him but after
wards decided to count ten, giving him
that much time to get out Of the way OF
their bullets. II is said that the fellow
scratched gravel" lively and was soon
out Of the range Of their fire arms.
The woman left town Wednesday and
the man was arrested Friday for keep
ing a "disorderly house and selling
whiskey without license. Ed. Moore,
Winslow township constable, took Sny-
der to Brookville Friday where he was
put in Jail to await hearing before
Judge and jury. The whitecaps were
successful in frightening the people out.
