FROM FRIENDS.
To The EDITOR

TO THE EDITOR:
In the summer of 1881 I received 8
letter, dated al Blue Earth City, Mime
sofa, from j. Lutte. Christie, inquiring
whether the SUPERIOR TINES, then con-
Quoted by me, was for sale, and if SO
the price and terms; also asking for
general information about Superior, it,
population, schools, churches, society
and prospects for tue future. The cor
respondence thus opened led to Mr..
Christie's purchase of the TINES plant,
and his removal to Superior with his
family in December of that year. The
coming of new family at That time was
quite an event in our then little burg,
and its members were cordially re-
ceived and soon made to feel they had
cast their lot among warm friends.
Mr.. Christie Immediately assumed
the editorial and business management
of the TINES, and, by bis well written
articles, showing clear grasp of the
situation, always defending our inter
ests, and full of helpful suggestions,
soon won the esteem and favor of those
concerned in the advancement of Su-
perior, at home and abroad. This zeal
op his part, and the confidence of his
readers, thus engendered, continued
sequent years up to the present time
1t may be truly said of Mr.. Christie,
and without disparagement of others,
that by voice and pen, and in demean-
or, he was at all times more assertve
in standing up for the rights of Supe-
rior. in defending those true to her in
terests, IN office and out, and in con
demning those whose practices would
degrade us, than any other man that
ever came into our midst.
He left an impression upon his sur
roundIngs that will remain for years.
His untimely death leaves a void that
that will never be filled A whole com
munity joins. with sadness, in paying
just tribute to the memory, and in
mourning the ioss, of kind husband
and father, good neighbor. a man ex-
emplary in every walk of life, a sturdy
and loyal citizen. JAMES BARDON.

Two Shows in one Night

The Duncan Clark Female mnstrels
gave an exhibition, or rather two exhi-
billions, in the opera house Saturday
evening to full house. or course
there were no ladies at the show but
there were q number of married men of
Reynoldsville present. After the first
show was over IL was announced that
tickets at 25 cents apiece would be sold
for q second exhibition, but all the mar
ried men and small boys we're requested
by the manager of the show not to re-
main for the second performance
This was good advertisement for the
show and a large number of tickets
were sold. However, those who re-
mained expecting more vulgarity than
there was in the show proper, were
disappointed. During the early part Of
the first show a woman came to the
door wearing a veil and raised quite a
commotion. She said, 81 want in to
get my husband, this is no place for
him." She did get in and walked up to
a married man and took hold of him.
II Is said by some of the single fellows
who were there that had there been q
back way out all the married men in
the show would have "taken sneak
while the woman was trying to get into
the show. The woman was one of the
show girls and that was part of the per-
formance. Ifreports are true tougher
gang never struck Reynoldsville than
Duncan Clark's Female minstrels.

Wants to Put in Electric Light.

II. w. Stellar, of Punxsutawney, a
young man who has had considerable
experience with electric light plants,
has been making an effort the past
week to get up a stock company and
put in an electric plant in Reynolds
vile. Mr.. st. Clair informed a repre-
sentative of THE STAR that he is meet
ing with good success and has already
secured almost enough stock to put in
the plant. Electric lights for this
place have been talked of for years, but
it has always ended in talk. There is
no reason why we cannot have electric
lights in Reynoldsville. Turn on the
light.

Found the Case.

About five months ago Dr. Reynolds
case of surgical instruments mysterious
ly disappeared from his desk in the
drug store. DR.. paid sixteen dollars
for the case and had been the owner of
it but short time. Detective Adles-
perger was informed of the loss and he
went quietly to work to look for the
thief, as 1t was believed some light
fingered chap had picked it up. Last
Saturday evening Adlesperger walked
into Reynolds Office with West Reyn-
oldsville boy who informed the DR..
where the case could be found. The
boy had stolen the case thinking it to
be large pocketbook and when he ex-
amined his plunder and discovered he
had no use for it, and being afraid to
enter the store, he slipped it through q
broken light of glass in the front part
of the cellar. Some of the instruments
were rusty and the case was moldy.

One Dollar A Year.

From this time forth THE STAR has
decided to adopt a new regulation gov
erning the financial part of its business.
And that is TO make the subscription
price one dollar year to all who will
pay in advance. Those who want THE
STAR for that price can get it by settling
all arrearages and paying an extra
dollar in advance. New subscribers
will also receive the advance yearly dol
lar rate. The price will remain the
same as heretofore, $3.50 year, but a
discount of 80 cents will be given those
who pay in advance. THE STAR would
like all its old subscribers to avail them
selves of this offer and as many new
ones as possible. Remember we will
stick strictly to the Sl.50 year price
when the subscription is not paid in ad-
vance. This special offer holds good
until the 1st of January, 1896.

1t was reported that the West Reyn-
oldsville tannery would be shut down

worked out of the beam house, and then
that department of the tannery will be
shut down l5 days. BY this way of run
ming only part of the tannery will be

Fiction Not in IT.

1t is an old saying that truth is
stranger than felton," and in many
instances fiction is not sin IL" when the
truth is told. A little romance, in
which fellow who has been spending
the summer in Reynoldsville figured
conspicuously, occurred recently, and If
our story editor had time to write it up
the account would make interesting
reading for the people who delight in
hearing or reading scandals. The story
given us is as follows: The sojourner
in this place wrote letter to a married
woman in Mexican county, the husband
got hold of the letter and his ire was
soon far above summer heat. He lost
no time in getting ready and bringing
his wife to Reynoldsville to see the
author of the epistle. When they ar
rived in this place and began looking
for the victim, one of the twain gave
away the object of their visit and the
man for whom they were looking got
"wind of it" and he hastily sought
safety in a woodland nook near town
where he squandered a long half day
enjoying his own company. The en-
ragged husband remained in town one
day and night and failing to find the
object Of his search, took his spouse
and hied away to his domicie in Nc
Kean county.

Italians, Revolver, Knife, Razor.

About half past FIVE Sunday morning
the people living near the iron bridge
that spans the Sandy Lick were awak-
ened from their peaceful slumber by
four or five shots from revolver and
the "gabble" of Italian tongues. The
fracas began at the shoe shop next door
to Riggs store, which is owned by an
Italian. AS near as we can learn an
Italian named Pool and wife who live
in West Reynoldsville accused Shoe
make of circulating scandalous stories
about Mrs. Pool. Mr.. Pool called at
Shoemake's Saturday evening while
under the influence of liquor and was
thrown out of the shop. Sunday morn
ing ShoemalSe had early callers which
proved to be Pool and his wife and an
other Italian and they were armed with
big knife, razor and revolver. They
proceeded to ''do Shoemake up" but he
escaped and ran across the bridge, the
other Italians in hot pursuit, yelling
and shooting. Shoemake escaped
without serious injury. His hands
were cut considerably.
One of the Italians who took part in
the Sunday morning fracas went into
Shoemakes shop last evening and re-
newed the fight. Both Italians were
badly carved, but not to death. Shoe
make was taken to doctors Office for
repairs and ''rony," the other Ike, was

Will Tap a New Coal Field.

The Brockwayville Record, in speak
ing of the projected railroad that will
connect Reynoldsville with Warren,
says
Those who are familiar with the lay
of the country say that should the new
road be located on the present survey it
will afford a natural and easy outlet to
Brockwayville's best coal field. On ac-
count of the dip of the measures the
coal would have to be opened from this
side, but that could easily be accom-
plished on the James Kearney farm.
From there the only sharp grade is en-
countered to the Uncle Tommy Hutch
ison farm, from whence the grade is
easy to the main line Of the projected
road 1t is said that an opening on
either the James or Mathew Kearney
farm would tap a field of which the coal
from one thousand acres could be loaded
from one tipple. Nowhere else in the
valley is there such continuous body
of workable coal. The field embraces
between 1000 and 5000 acres of the
best coal in the section, which is still in
the hands of original owners. The
building OF the new road will no doubt
inaugurate operations in this vicinity.

inaccessible, aud the contents can be
reached by only one man at q time,
thus preventing the easy supply of the
bunkers with coal, and consequently
reducing the speed Of the ship. This
is particularly true if the bunkers are
