Minnie M. Harries, daughter of John
Harries, was born Oct. 23rd, 1873, died
Sept. 23rd, 1895, at 2.0i A. NJ, aged IS

pneumonia and heart trouble. Funeral
services will be held in the NJ. +.
church at 1.30 p. M. to-day, conducted by
Rev. Slattery, and her remains will be

adise. Minnie, who was large for her
age, was sweet girl with lovable
disposition, and as result she had
many friends. She was a member of
the NJ. f. church, Sunday school and
Epworth League and her young life was
a daily testimony to the profession she
made

Where is our Board of Health

There are two cases of typhoid fever
on Worth street and four on Pleasant
avenue. Unless great care is taken
there may be typhoid fever epidemic
in that section of town. A town the
size of Reynoldsville is supposed to
have board of health, but we have not,
or at least il there is one it should be
stirred up to life and activity. DIR.
Bowser was president of the board last
year and at the meeting OF the town
council in March Of this year DR..
Neale was elected president, but there
was dispute about whether the town
council had anything to do with elect
ing a president of the board of health
after it had been organized, and since
that time the board has been inactive
According TO law we should have a
board of health and it is about time the
difficulties be settled whatever they
may be, and that Reynoldsville has a
live board OF health.

First Sunday Stare Over.

Rev. John w. Crawford, the new
pastor Of the NJ. f.. church at this

will get into the good graces of his new
people. Rev. Crawford returned to
Emlenton Monday morning to pack up
to move to Reynoldsville. He and his
wife expect to arrive here on Friday
Thursday evening the people of Emlen-
ton will give Rev. and Mrs. Crawford a

utation of being total abstainer from
intoxicants, was in Reynoldsville last
Wednesday and he fingered too long at

he was well filled with the ardent

desperate attempts to be religious

Didn't Know His Whistle.

Jim Montgomery engineer on the
Driftwood accommodation, did not
know the whistle on his engine. The
engine was put in the shop for repairs
and Machinist w. S. Stone put chime
whistle on the engine and it was
mutually ageed by the officials and en-
ployes at Reynoldsville that they would
not tell Jim of the change. When the
S.4S p. M. train arrived here Wednesday
Jim got his regular engine. Hopkins
was the first station and Jim pulled the
whistle but he let go Of it as If he had
hot piece of iron in his hand. He
thought the whistle at Hopkins mill
was blowing, and out went his head at
the cab window and there was nothing
to be heard but the noise OF the rum
ming train. He pulled the whistle OF
his engine again and II the passengers
had stuck their heads out OF the
windows they could have heard Jim,

exclaim: What In --- -

STREET FAKIR OusTED.
A Howlng Mob-Revolvers, Eggs, Medi-
cine Bottles-lhsgracefu Scene,

cine bottleS-lrSgracetul scene.
The Monday morning Courier CON
tanned a column article about the people
of Dubois raiding street corner swim
dler in that town Saturday night.
Monday afternoon the greased-hat fakir
came to Reynoldsville with what there
was left of his medicine camp. He has
soldiers state license to sell, and
while our Burgess did not give him a
a written permit to sell, yet he told him
to get on side street and sell his goods.
The 'doctor" and woman dressed in
short fanciful skirts with box of
snakes, made their appearance in bug
gy on the corner of Fourth and Main
streets soon after dark. A crowd soon
gathered and after sideshow perform
ance the doctor" introduced his medi-
cine, which he sold at 25 cents bottle,
and as a bait he gave card with each
bottle, which he redeemed for 80 cents,
giving the people who bought so cents
and the bottle of medicine for their 25
cents. About ten cards were sold on
those terms and redeemed. Then he
offered to recompense all who bought
and the quarters were handed in from
all sides. When the buyers were slow
he raised the amount to $780, then
$l.50 and up to $500. When the
amount was raised to $l.O0 the fakir
la1 n ,,n nf
ped each mans 25 cents in dollar
william. BY the time the 800 buyers
were all gatherd in the crowd got un-
easy and wanted their cards redeemed.
The doctor" began to recompense his
customers by giving them the amount
their card called for in medicine instead
OF cash, as they expected. In the mean
time the woman had gathered the
money into a satchel, drew revolver
to keep the crowd back, and the "doc-
tor" got out of the buggy, and the
crowd got boisterous. When medicine
bottles and eggs began to fly the
doctor" decided it was time for him to
get out of that mob and he struck for
Hotel Belnap. The crowd followed
him, tore one tail of his coat off, kicked
his hat full of holes and handled the
doctor" very roughly, but he succeed
ed in getting to his room where three
fellows caught him and when Proprie-
tor Dillman got to the room they were
choking the man until his tongue was
out two or three inches and he was get
ting black in the face. The woman
remained in the buggy for few min
utes after an egg shell had been
smashed on her right temple and the
contents of the egg ran down over her
bespangled suit.
The entire affair was disgrace to a
civilized community, and it is to be
'deplored that it was enacted on the
streets of Reynoldsville. The falir is
not entitled TO u license and is not de-
serving of sympathy for the treatment
received, and on the other hand the
people who were foolish enough to bite
at such plain scheme to get their
money, are not deserving of sympathy.
Addlesperger and Shields went with
the man to the S.4S train last night. He
went to Brookville.

A Heavy Storm.

just before one o'clock last Thursday
a black cloud made its appearance in
the western horizon and 1t increased in
volume and blackness as on 1t came like
the roaring waters of the mighty
Niagara Falls. A number of our citizens
thought a western cyclone was about to
visit our town, and it might we'll be
called a young cyclone, for the light
ming flashed, the thunder rolled, the
wind howled, the rain descended as If
the flood gates of heaven had been
thrown wide open and the somber
shadows were so thick lamps had to be
lighted. The cutters and sewers were
not large enough to contain the water
and some of our streets were inundated
while the storm lasted. The storm
lifted a window, frame and all, out Of
the woolen mill, broke down pine tree
on Lawyer Mitchell's premises, blew a
piece of the iron fancy work OFF the
steeple of the NJ. Il. church and broke
two stained-glass windows, lifted the
top off of many chimneys and left other
signs of its fury in this place. In the
woodland, especially west and north of
Reynoldsville, considerable timber was
blown down.

of a grandson few miles below the
Junction where she died last Friday

During the severe storm last Thurs

there was no time to remove any
thing from the building. Five good
horses, all the harness, seventeen tons
Of hay, three sleighs, one wagon, three
buggies, and two pairs of sleds were
burned. The loss amounts to over
$1,000, without insurance. Mr.. Good
lander, who is brother-in-law Of F. X.

ance. Geo. Nolder, another brother-in-

Author of Coins School.

W. III. Harvey, author of the Coin
books, was educated in a country log
school house and a rustic academy
in West Virginia Reared on farm
he did al kinds of work, from plant
ing corn to raking chaff behind the
threshing machine. He looks it, says
the Chicago correspondent of the ST.
Louis Post Dispatch.
AT the age of sixteen he taught
school in the same reich of country.
You can look at him now and place
him before the old-fashioned black
board with an arithmetic in one hand
and piece of chalk in the other.
without the slightest suggestion Ct
incongruity with his surroundings.
He afterwards made a moderate
success and moderate competency
as lawyer, having studied law in
an office, lacking the more preten-
tious training of law school. You
would take him for just such a man.
Then he made more money by go
ing out west and investing in Denver
real estate, upon which he realized in
cash at the right time, SO that at about
the age of forty-he is now forty
three-he was well Off. He has
never lost any of the modest little
competency thus acquired, being a
practical and cool-headed man. This
he looks from top to toe.
The total sale of the "Coin" series
to date has reached the grand aggre-
gate of 100000 copies, and of this

ton was 100000. OF late it has been
a common thing to compare the fur
or over these books to that excited by
the appearance of "Uncle Toms Cab
in" in the stirring days of the fight
over slavery. Yet, famous as this.
latter book was and is, it reached
total of only 100000 copies, and the
'Coin" books are now confidently ex-
pected to turn the 100000 mark
long before November, 1896.
Arrangements have Just been con-
cluded for the translation of these
books into German, Scandinavian and
Bohemian to still further broaden
their avenues of access to the masses.
The orders on which shipments are
now being made come practically

the joint committee on library OF
congress refused to accept from the
Grand Army of the Republic for
place in Statuary hall still stands in
the rotunda and is the object of
much curiosity on the part of visit
ors. It's presence there recalled
an incident in the life of the
sculptor to ow-townsman of the
artist, whose home was in Lewiston,
Me. On one of his visits to his
birthplace he was showing collec-
ton of photographs to photogra-
pher of the town, which led to dis
cussion of the merits of various
artists in that line. Said the pho
tographer: Mr.. Simmonds, in our
branch of the profession we recog-
nize prominence and leadership OF
the part OF certain artists, and
suppose the same is true of your
branch. Whom do you place at the
head of sculptors in American"

guished artist in stone, with vari-
Gus emotions indicated by the inter-

HI. M. Dalton's frame stable and
lime house on the L. g. N. railroad

day about 2 o'clock. The fire was
first seen on the roof of the stable
and probably caught from a passing
train. The stable was of small value
and belonged to Capt. B. T. Under
wood. Its contents and the lime
house adjoining with it's contents be-
longed to FL. M. Dalton, whose loss is
from $500 to 5000. He had some in
surance on the contents of the stable
but most of the insured property was
saved. On the lime there was no in
surance and the loss is very heavy on

starting in business. The fire de-
partment turned out but could not
save the burning buildings.
