COMMITTED SUICIDE.
Thomas Painters Remains Found Hang
ing to q Tree.

Last Friday evening the body of
Thomas Painter was found dangling
from the end OF rope which was tied
to the trunk OF tree near VIM. Il. Cath
ers' farm In the nelghborhood Of Big
Soldier mine. The body was In ghast-
ly condition when found. The eyes and
tongue had either fallen out or been
plucked out by birds. The body was In
a bad state of decomposition. The
young man found tree that had fallen
and lodged In another tree. He climbed
up the trunk Of the leaning tree, attach
ed one end Of the rope TO the tree, the
other end around his neck, and jumped
into eternity. He was brother OF Mrs.
Conrad Heemer, Of Prescottville, and
had brother living at Sykesville.
Ten days before the body was found the
young man left his sisters home In Pres.
cottville and said he was going TO Sykes
vile. As he was not heard from after
that and by the decomposed condition
OF the body, IL is supposed that he had
been hanging to the tree ten days.
A young man who was working near
the place where the body Was found
hanging TO n tree, which was near
cornfield, at first thought IL was
scarecrow, but investigation reveal
ed the awful fact that IL was the
body Of man. Notice was given and
the proper authorities took charge of
the body and held an inquest. II WAS
difficult to identify the body. All the
man had in his pockets was one dollar.
He had changed his clothing after leav-
ing his sisters. Mr.. Heemer identified
the rope the man had used TO end his
life as the one that he, Heemer, had
used 10 tie his COW. The remains were
buried in the Prospect cemetery Satur-
day forenoon.
The deceased was twenty-five years
old. Three years ago he was driver
in the mines at this place and went
from here TO West Virginia. He was
from disease before he went
to Virginia and kept getting worse all
the time, which made life burden to
him. He returned to Reynoldsville
about month ago.
Justice l.. A. Hays empanelled the
following jury to hold an inquest: DR..
Il. Q. McHenry, G. w. Mohney, d. L.
Phillips, Ed. Mckee, w. T. Gathers
and A. S. Armstrong. The finding of
the jury was that Thomas Painter com
mitted suicide by hanging.

Post No Bills.

The interior of the Reynoldsville post
office for years, ifno from the time the
Office was first established at this place,
has been decorated with advertisements
Of various kinds. After Evan Trego
McGaw assumed postmastership and
had the Office remodeled, no advertise
ments were allowed TO be put on the
walls unless encased in neat frame.
The postmaster put up a notice last
Wednesday that all advertisements on
the walls would have to be taken down
November 1st, and thereafter none
should be put up, as II is contrary to
laws governing postofiices TO have any
form of advertisements displayed.

Commissioner, did not appear in the
Prohibition column on the ballot Sol
oman Shaffer, county chairman, issued
circulars last week instructing the Pro-
hibitionists how to vote. The circular
stated that the official certificates of the
nomination of Mr.. Deemer and Mr..
Brown was mailed In due time to the
Secretary of the Commonwealth at
Harrisburg, and to the commissioners
of jeff. Co., but for some unaccountable
reason the certificates never reached
their destination, and in consequence
the names of the two county candidates
did not appear on the ballot.

Store Carried Away.

Milton sloppy opened up small res
taurant and tobacco store In his building
at the corner Of Water and Main streets
several months ago. His stock Of to-
bacco and cigars consisted Of 500 cigars
and one box of tobacco. Last Thursday
night robbers gained an entrance into
the store by springiug the front doors
open and carried off all of Mr.. Sloppy's
tobacco and cigars, and few pies. The
stock was small but the thieves were
greedy and took all. II is likely that
the robbers are the same chaps who
have ransacked the tannery office
several times within the past month.
They are not imported thieves; IL is
certainly home talent.

The Punxsutawney Ne,os says An
interesting astronomical event will take
place on the 10th Of November next,
when there will be the transit OF tho
planet Mercury across the face Of the
sun. The coming transit will be visible
from 1000 A. M. 10 800 p. M. The
planet will travel across the face OF the
sun at the rate OF about one hundred
thousand miles per hour, a little faster
than most people would care to travel,
and yet the sun is so large, the diameter
OF the suns disc being estimated at $780,
900 miles and so far away from us that
the speed of the transit will appear so
slow as to be almost imperceptible. 1t
may be seen to an advantage with a
telescope.
