Want A New County,

The Falls Creek Herald contained a
half column editorial last week agi-
tating the forming OF a new county
out Of part OF Elk, Clearfield and Jeffer-
son counties and making Falls Creek
the county seat. The Herald cites the
disadvantages the people Of Punxsutaw-
ney and Brockwayville, in jefferson
county, and Sabula and Penfield, in
Clearfeld county have to contend with
in getting TO their respective county
seats, and then speaks Of the conven-
fences Of having Falls Creek for coun-
ty seat.
The Dubois Courier took IL up Satur-
day morning and said, "those who
noticed the Herdld's article here yes
terday morning looked upon II as incor-
porating some very ridiculous ideas,
particularly that of making Falls Creek
the county seat Of new county" The
morning paper also adds that "the Her
aid is the organ Of land syndicate
which has for its head the Hon. A. G..
Hopkins, one Of the most far-seeing
men in the state, or in the country any
whore, and he is as keen as Bessemer
steel, and 1t is assured that he has an
ticipated the new county possibilities
and through his influential relations
with men in the State who exercise
power at Harrisburg, expects to make
Falls Creek county capital"
The Courier of course thinks Dubois
is The town for the new county seat, but
II it must go to Falls Creek, then Du-
bois is willing to adopt Falls Creek and
honor it with the name of Dubois. BY
the way, the new county is only news
paper talk yet.

Caused by a Rat.

Frank j. Black, proprietor Of Hotel
Mcconnell, took a tumble last week
which deprived the guests Of that hos
telry of his smiling countenance and
genial presence for three or four days.
When the accident happened Mine
Host was busy looking after some guests
and his dog Fannie was busy looking
after rat that had wandered from its
accustomed haunts and had visited the
hotel office. just as Frank was hurried
ly coming from behind the Office bar
the dog was going in the opposite direc-
tion in hot pursuit after the file-tailed
rodent and the canine got tangled up
with the proprietor's feet. Frank
made some wild gestures and frantic
efforts to retain his equilibrium, but all
to no avail, for down he came. There
were no windows broken in the house
by the fall, nor did Mr.. Black sustain
any broken bones, but he did injure his
left hip so badly that he could hardly
take long breath for several days and
was confined to his bed for three days.

ferees joining with Armstrong and

The town council is going TO pass an
ordinance at its next regular meeting
prohibiting children from being on the
streets after 500 p. M. unless accom-
panied by their parents. This will
certainly be good ordinance, although
the boys may think otherwise. Entire
ly too many boys of tender years are al
lowed to run the streets after night.
Under the cover of night boys are lead
into devilishness and learn bad habits
that does not have tendency to make
for their good in after years. II is far
better for the children that they spend
the evenings under the parental roof.

Presco Change.

Clarence H. Patterson, ex-clerk at
Hotel Mcconnell of this place, and re-
Gently clerk at the Commercial Hotel
at Brookville, resigned his position at
the Commercial last week. He has
since been offered position as clerk at
the Central Hotel in Brookville, which
he has accepted. He is spending this
week at Reynoldsville but will assume
his duties at the Central sometime next
week. Clarence is very accommoda-
ing young man and quite favorite
with the travelling public, and will
be a good addition to the already
popular Central Hotel. This hotel has
been recently remodeled and renovated
and greatly improved and it bids fair to
become more popular with the CONNER
cial tourists and travelling public in
general as the days go by. The Central
runs free bus to and from the trains.
Sam1 Arthurs, proprietor, understands
the hotel business.

School Notes.

Night school opened in the public
school building Monday evening with
over eighty scholars. Prof Hilliard
had charge Of the school that evening
but it was found necessary to open an
other room and Prof. Postlethwait took
charge of the second room last night.
1t is thought that there will be so many
scholars that another room will have to
be opened and If so it is likely that Bert
Woodward will have charge of it
There were 724 scholars enrolled in
the borough schools the first month";
with an average daily attendance Of
$40. Three hundred and twenty-three
pupils did not miss one day of school
the first month, and one hundred and
fifty others only missed one half day
each.
Noon hour for the pupils of the bor-
ough schools has been shortened.
School takes up at Ito p. M. instead Of
at 1.30 p. NJ. as heretofore.

A Wise Bird.

Last Friday as the somber shadows
were chasing daylight from our town a
pheasant flew up Main street and fell to
the ground in Saml Reynolds front
yard. Frank Sutter swooped down on
the innocent bird and caughtit. Casper
Hoffman, the jeweler, has the pheasant
at his store. It is likely the pheasant
is posted on the game law and knew the
season opened on the lst inst. and 1t
thought the best plan for it to adopt
was to come into town before the season
opened and hunt some store that does
not advertise and thus have quiet and
safe place to spend the season during
which it is lawful to kill pheasants. It
was certainly wise bird but it failed to
reach some store that does not advertise
before it was caught.

Second Edition.

This paper, with number of ex-
changes, herald the news that a special
passenger train on the b., II. g. p. R'y
made a run of ninety miles in as many
minutes, from Bradford to Falls Creek,
during the G. A. r.. encampment week
at Pittsburg. II has since been learned
it was only railroad joke on the news
papers. The distance is less than "a
miles instead of 90 miles, and the run
was made in something like three
hours. Not quite so fast as first report
ed. The story was told the Bradford
Era man and he gulped it down so easi-
ly that it was told to other newspaper
men and they also were easy victims.

THE HIGHEST AWARD.
Royal Baking Powder has all the HOnors
In Strength and Value 20 per cent.
above its Nearest Connection.

The Royal Baking Powder has the
enviable record of having received the
highest award for articles of its class
greatest strength, purest ingredients,
most perfectly ombined-whereve ex-
hibited in competition with others. In
the exhibitions of former years, at the
Centennial, at Paris, Vienna and at the
various State and industrial fairs where
it has been exhibited, judges have inva-
riably awarded the Royal Bakidg Pow
der the highest honors.
AT the recent World 3 Fair the exam
nations for the baking powder awards
were made by the experts of the chem
ical division of the Agricultural De
partment at Washington. The official
report OF the tests of the baking powders
which were made by this department
for the specific purpose of ascertaining
which was the best, and which has
been made public, shows the levening
strength OF the Royal to be 16O cubic
inches of corbonic gas pei ounce of
powder. OF the cream of tartar baking
powders e3iLited at The Fair, the mex:
highes in strength thus tested contain
ed but 1873 cubic inches OF levening gas.
The other powders gave an average Of
III. The Royal, therefore, was found
OF 20 per cent. greater levening strength
than its nearest competitor, and A per
cent above the average of all the other
tests. Its superiority in other respects,
however, in the quality Of the food it
makes as to fineness, delicacy and
wholesomeness, could not be measured
by figures.
1t is these high qualities, known and
appreciated by the women of the coun-
try for SO many years, that have caused
the sales Of the Royal Baking Powder,
as shown by statistics, to excel the
sales OF all other baking powders com
bined

1t is emphatically an original work
original in design and execution, and

The drawings are of very high order,

ish the more costly works published

Theodore Gill, member of the Ma.

only a meritorious volume, but is alto
gether so handsome as to make it a
very appropriate presenta tion book OF
ornament for the family table"
1t is an imperial quarto volume OF
