Only Ten Per Cent.

Archie Campbell, who was an eccen-
trio chap that lived in Reynoldsville
when Willie O. Smith, of the Punxsu-
tawney Spirit, roamed the streets Of
this place barc-footed urchin, will not
be forgotten by those who had any
dealings with him. AS Smith says:
"Archie was large, corpulent irish
man with lame leg and an eye TO
business. He was quite wealthy as
wealth went in Reynoldsville in those
days, and he had knack Of turning an
honest penny here and there and cleav-
ing to IL with a tenacity that was some-
thing astonishing. Yet he prided him
self on his liberality, and when he gave
anything, he did it with great ostenta-
tion. He was perfectly willing that not
only his left hand, but all his neighbors,
should know what his right hand was
doing when he gave money to n good
cause. He was faithful member OF
the Presbyterian church, and service
that was not graced by the presence OF
Archie and his good wife Mary Ann did
not appear natural"
Archie met David Reynolds one day
and said, David, when the food Gums
and yez want any muny yez can huv II
and it'll not cost yez a cint."
Mr.. Reynolds borrowed two hundred
dollars from Archie and when he re-
turned II Archie said: 'Poor ould
Cummel has no uther way TO make
muny and I'll only charge yez ten per
cint fer the muny." David had to pay
the interest.

An Explosion.

There was great excitement in the
borough schools just about the noon
hour last Friday when the entire build
ing trembled like an aspen leaf for a
few seconds and the rooms were all filed
with SCOT. The janitor, ]. L. Ewing,
says he left the gas burning under the
boiler and when he returned it was out
and he set fire to a piece of paper to
light the gas and an explosion was the
result. Mr.. Ewing was badly burned
about the hands and face. The paper
and plaster was torn off the chimneys
in every room of the building. 1t was
certainly a very narrow escape not only
for the janitor but also the scholars of
the school. 'Tis not strange that there
was great commotion in the school
for a short time.

A Politician Gone,

Geo. w. Weiss, of Punxsutawney,
one Of the politicians Of Jefferson county,
died very suddenly last Thursday morn
ing and was buried on Sunday. George
was an active Republican and would
have been u candidate for Assembly
man this year. Last year we were at
Harrisburg the last day Of the Legis-
lature and Mr.. Weiss was there and he
said the. next time the Legislature
opened he expected to occupy chair in
the House of Representatives to look
after the interests of Jefferson county.
But alack, imam proposes and God
disposes." The messenger of death has
no respect for mans ambition or
plans. Heart failure was what caused
Mr.. Weiss death.

SURPRISED Himself.

1t is seldom, II ever, good word is
spoken for the tramp, simply because
they are never guilty of doing anything
deserving of credit. One Of the strang-
est freaks yet heard of for tramp to
perform, occurred at the Salt Works
school house last Thursday night. II
his fellow-tourists hear of his act they
will certainly ostracize him from their
ranks, but he, no doubt, can get good
position with some dime museum. The
tramp broke into the school house
where he found two cakes of soap and a
towel. He took one cake of soap, cut
the towel into two pieces and took one
piece of it and in the morning went to
run hardly and risked his life by in
dulging in good washing and then
went begging for bread. Had he found
two ginger cakes and an overcoat in the
school house it may be possible he
would not have been so willing to divide.

Water or No Water?

The town council of the borough Of
West Reynoldsville resolved, at recent
meeting, that they would submit the
question of "water tax for fire pro-
lection" to the voters of said borough
at the next regular election, February
Goth, 1894. West Reynoldsville, or
any other town, cannot well afford to be
without water protection, and for that
reason there is little doubt but that
''water tax" will win next month. The
water company has considerable pipe
laid in West Reynoldsville, and we
understand that they expect to extend
the line to the tannery.

Fire at Dubois.

Our neigbboring town, Dubois, was
visited with a 100000 fire very early
last Friday morning. The fire originat-
ed in Grier Bros hardware store, de-
stroying that building entirely with the
immense stock II contained. The Com
mercial Hotel was 50 badly damaged
that there is talk of building a larger
hotel on the old site. The building
occupied by the Express was close
enough to get so badly damaged that
the press work on the Express cannot be
done in the old quarters and through
the kindness Of the Courier it is printed
on the Courier press. The money ex-
pend on the Dubois fire department
returned with big interest on this oc-
casion for with the strong wind blowing
at the time the fire fiend would have
devoured Il large portion of Dubois
with golish glee. This makes the fifth
time that Grier Bros. have been burned
out and their rebuilding is doubtful.
James Grier, one Of the firm, was an
engineer on the A. V. R'y at one time
and he is gentleman deserving Of

will positively be rebuilt. Just how

Major Danes Lecture.

From the time Rev. II. II. johnson
introduced Major Henry c. Dane at
Centennial Hall last Friday evening
until the close of his lecture, Major
held the attention Of the large
audience. His subject was "The Great
Naval Battles OF the Rebellion" Major
is fluent and eloquent talker, possessed
with great descriptive powers. Our
people express themselves as being
highly pleased with the lecture. Mr..
Dane could deliver many more lectures
in Reynoldsville and have different
subject each time. He has been an ex-
tensive traveller. His lecture on Ram
bles among the Ruins of the Seven
Churches Of ASIA" would be one Of
great interest to the lecture going

Postomce Report.

The public has not been informed yet
who will take charge Of the postofIce
at this place when tho present post
masters time expires, which will be
the 11th Of next month. IL has been
reported that DR.. Foust will be re-
appointed, but this is only talk, because
the Doctor does not want IL for another
term, on account Of poor health, and IL
is "time honored" custom "to the
victor belongs the spoils," and with the
change of administration all Office hold
ers are retired and others take their
places, and thus IL will be with the
Roynoldsville postoflice. Whoever the
new postmaster may be he can make up
his mind that the public is not easily
pleased, in fact IL Is an impossibility TO
please all at least. II Is hardly neces-
sary to enumerate the Thousand and one
questions he will be compelled TO answer
daily. There Is one redeeming feature
about being a postmaster and that Is
that he can have three or four hours to
himself on legal holidays II he leaves
town or hides from the public. Below
we give report of the business done in
the Reynoldsville postofiice during 1893:
Sold ll7,OOO two cent stamps; 81 1900
one cent; 200 four cent; 1000 five cent;
1000 ten cent stamps; $4,000 postal

Save Your COUPONS.

When the Pittsburg Times made the
magnanimous offer to take fifty popular
school teachers to the Worlds Fair last
year there were three teachers voted for
from this place. Why not select one
this year for the vacation offered by the
Times and all vote for the one teacher.
The Times has good circulation in
Reynoldsville and vicinity and If the
votes were all sent in for one person
there would be some chance to have
our town represented on the excursion.
Since the above was written and set
in type Miss Mamie Aiman's name has
appeared in the list of teachers pub
lished in the Times to be voted for.
Miss Altman is a very nice young lady,
and one who is deserving of such vaca-
tion as the Times offers. AS Miss
Altman is the first to receive votes from
Reynoldsville why not all join in and
vote for her.

moving to Clearfield among other things
he said: because it is the county seat,
because it is political headquarters Of
