Music, Enthusiasm, Red Lights and a
Big Crowd.

MUSIC, Enthusiasm, Ked Lights and a
Big Crowd.
Republican enthusiasm stalked abroad
on the streets Of Reynoldsville last night
amid the glare Of red lights and music.
1t has been years, II ever, such a politi-
cal demonstration was ever let loose In
this town. Main street, from the A. V.
R'y to ii. j. Nickle's store was profuse-
ly decorated with flags, bunting and
Chinese lanterns. Towards evening peo-
pie began coming from the surrounding
community and the evening train
brought three hundred from Brookville
and other stations west OF here. The

These trains both arrived about the
same time and the visitors, with Reyn-

martial band, Excelsior and another
brass band from Dubois, the Brookville.
Prescottville, Falls Creek and Keystone
bands and martial band from Hopkins
furnished the instrumental enthusiasm
for the occasion. Red lights were burn
ed along Main street from the opera
house to Arnold block during parade.
An immense crowd stood on the walks
and street to see the large parade go by.
As Centennial Hall was not large
enough to hold those who wanted to
hear the speakers, the opera house was
also opened and those who went to eth
er hall, and remained. heard all the
speakers, as they would speak in one
hall and then go TO the other. The
speakers present were: Hon. VIM. A.
Stone, of Allegheny Co.; Hon. A. c..
Robertson, of Pittsburg; Hon John w.

DEMOCRAT MEETING.
Centennial Hall Packed to Hear The
Speakers.


Speakers.
Monday was the Democrats day in
Reynoldsville. A committee was sent
to Dubois In the morning to meet the
speakers and escort them to this place
on the afternoon train. II was rumored
that VIM. M. Singerly, Democratic can
didate for Governor, would pass through
on the train on his way to Clarion and
when the train arrived about one hum
dred and fifty men and women were at
the station, including the Keystone
band. Mr.. Singerly was not on the
train, but Gov. Robt. +. Pattison was
and he made five minute speech from
the car steps. Gov. Pattison, Secretary
Harrity, Adjutant-Gencral Greenland,
and several other prominent Democrats
then proceeded on their way to Clarion.
The Keystone band went to the 8.57
p. NJ. train to meet Hon. Geo. A. jerks
and few other Brookville Democrats
who were escorted up town amidst the
glare of red lights burned along the
street.
When time to call the meeting TO
order in Centennial Hall, which was
done by County Chairman Whitehill,
the hall was taxed to its utmost to hold
the crowd that wanted to attend the
meeting. VIM. G. Schultze was elected
president OF the meeting with thirty
one vice-presidents, whose names we
did not get. The secretaries elected
were: =. A. Hardman, NJ. G. Coleman,
Glenn Milliren, w. j. Weaver and w.
f. Marshall. G. M. Mcdonald, Esq, in
troduced the speakers, the first OF whom
was District Attorney McCracken, who
occupied the platform for Is minutes.
w. F. Fairman, candidate for Congress
in the 2lst district, spoke in his usual
manner for ten minutes. Hon. David
Mckee, of Lancaster. candidate for Sec
retary of Internal Affairs, occupied the
platform for 40 minutes. He was fol-
lowed by Dwight NJ. Lowry, of Phila-
delphia, the best speaker of the even
ing, who talked for 10 minutes. Hon.
Geo. A. jerks was called but he refused
to make a speech and Chairman Schultze
declared the meeting adjourned.
The Democrats were well pleased
with the meeting.
The interior of Centennial Hall was
handsomely and neatly decorated with
the stars and stripes.

Fell Down Stairs.

Mrs. Ellen Walsh, mother of Patsy
Walsh, the groceryman, fell down
stairs Saturday morning and broke her
right arm near the wrist and was also
badly bruised. She is sixty-nine
years old and would tip the scales at 1sO
pounds, therefore it is almost miracle
she did not meet sudden death. The
old lady does not know how the accident
happened. She had gone up stairs and
put on her bonnet and shawl to go up
town and in starting down stairs fell
Nom the top to bottom. 1t is not
known how long she remained unconsci-
Gus at the bottom OF the stairs. She
managed to get to the kitchen door and
attract the attention Of her neighbors
and got assistance.

More than Capacity.

The capacity of the West Reynolds
vile tannery is 1926 hides daily and it is
now using 800 daily, five more than the
intended capacity of the plant The
hides have so many processes to pass
through that the new hides that were
put in since the fire have never reached
the finishing lofts yet. The men in
that department have been working all
this time on hides that were in the vats
at the time of the fire. The hides will
all be finished this week and then some
of the loft men will go to Falls Creek
tannery to work. The hides at that
tannery are threatening to rot and the
tannery will be run night and day until
the hides are all worked out. This will
make it lively at the Falls Creek tan
merry for time.

"The Veteran Detective"

]. Fl. McAndrew's Melodrama "The

played upon dry goods merchant in Eng

bourht a few small articles and rendered
G1O note in change, which, being found
GOOD, was cashed. The customer asked
for change for another "tenner." This
note being also good, he was obliged with
what he wanted. This atfablo gentleman
then requested to be shown through the
various departments, and his wish was,
of course. gratifled While the proprietor
was guiding him on this tour of inspection
an official looking carriage dashed up to
the door Two official looking men alight
cd and rushed into the store, inquiring in
a hurried manner if man had changed
el0 notes there. On the man being point
ed out to them they immediately hand
cuffed him and placed him in the carriage,
telling the storeeeper that they had caught
an impudent thief and requesting him to
follow them in all haste to the police sta
tion. As they were leaving they asked the
proprietor to hand them the notes, saying
that they would be wanted as evidence,
which he Immediately did. On his arrival
at the police station, however, he found

UNEASY POWERS.
Tho Death of the Sultan of Morocco Has
ArousedSeriousA Apprehensions.

Tho Death of the Sultan of Morocco Has
Aroused:serious apprehension.
Nothing for months has so seriously
aroused the apprehensions Of the powers
OF Europe as the death of the sultan Of
Morocco the other day. The reason is
that this large country al the entrance
to the Mediterranean holds what is real
ly tho most important strategical posi-
ton in the world. The power which
secured the Moorish harbor on the strait
Of Gibraltar would control the entrance
to the sea much more completely than is
possible from the heights Of Gibraltar.
England would of course be most men
aced by any change in the control of the
Moorish territory. and it may be said
without hesitation that if France had
attempted to use an opportunity to gain
new rights under the changed admins
tration, as was feared, for a day or two
after the dramatic dispatch of her feet
to Moorish waters, she might do, war
with England would have been almost
inevitable. The progress of events,
therefore, is being watched with the
greatest anxiety throughout Europe
No one now prefenns that England
could control the entrance TO the Medi-
terranean by means of the Gibraltar
works. The lack of harbor there
makes it impossible. A diplomat of
high authority in such matters said to
me that, if it became expedient, Eng.
land would probably offer Gibraltar to
Spain as an immense bribe to secure the
formation Of an alliance for the joint
control of Tangier. Such a proposal
would be of great practical advantage
to England, although it twould undoubt-
edly arouse storm Of sentimental pro-
test. Spain would naturally be eager to
accept on any reasonable terms the res
toration of the famous stronghold. The
present indications are that no imme-
diate crisis will arise from the change
