Reporter in Trouble.

j. B. Johnston, Of the Pittsburg
Chronicle Telegraph reportorial staff, can
interview a president or queen, or write
up common, everyday doings Of city
life with any Of the profession, but he
cannot drive his father-in-law's iron
gray nag In a sleigh. Tuesday morn
ing the pencil pusher got into Mr.. John
Coax's sleigh to take his sister-in-law,
Miss Meta Coax, to the jerks school,
where she looks after the educational
interests Of the youth Of that neigh
borhood five days week. Mr.. John
ston succeeded in keeping the horse in
the road and averting any mishaps un-
til the rail road crossing in West Reyn-
oldsville was reached and it was there
the reporter became good subject to be
interviewed. On account of the gentle
man being professional newspaper
man we will let him down easy and
merely add that the horse did not pro-
pose to quietly walk over a railroad
track within two or three feet of snort
ing engine, but it would run of, and it
did run off.

Gordon and Wolf.

Charlie Gordon and Isaiah Wolf,
whom we mentioned few weeks ago as
having been arrested at Big Run for
burglary, theft, etc. and who were after
wards taken to Clarion for trial on SINH
lar charges there, are finding the way
Of the transgressor to be hard one. In
the Clarion county court they both
pleaded guilty week before last to the
charges of burglary and attempted rob-
berry, and Gordon was sentenced to
years and 3 months in the penitentiary,
and Wolf to years and 3 months.
After their sentence there the court di-
rected them to be turned over to the sher-
iff Of Jefferson county, and they will be
tried here next court on the indict-
ments pending in our court.-Brookville

A Wanderer.

Last Thursday Solomon Hise, an old
man "A years old, who has no. abiding
place, but Is at home wherever he takes
of his hat, came into Reynoldsville and
squatted down in chair beside warm
fire in the little store that Milton Slop-
py runs near the iron bridge. The old
tramp had been this way about four
months ago and had stopped with the
above named gentleman several days.
Mr.. Sloppy made the man welcome to
his hospitality again several days last
week and then called the overseers of
the poor In to take charge of the man.
He has been a tramp for years and the
overseers have been unable to get any
information from him that will give
them any reason to think that some
other poor district has more right to
provide for him than Reynoldsvlile bor-
ough has. The man has been wan
derer so long that Messrs. Atwater and
Beebe. poor overseers, are Of the opin-
ion that he will move on when the
weather moderates. A number of years
ago Solomon worked in a clearing for
Judge Schultzes in the neighborhood of
Pleasant Avenue. The old man says he
has no faith in woman.

Pleasure and an Upset.

The Relief Corps invited the Corps
Of Brookville to come 70 this place on
visit. The invitation waas accepted
and Monday evening Of this week was
the time set for the visit. About five
o'clock two dozen ladies, in two sleds,
arrived from the county seat and were
escorted TO the g. A. II. hall where the
ladies Of Reynoldsville had prepared a
feast Of good things for them. After
the supper was disposed Of a special
meeting Of the Corps was held and the
evening was pleasantly spent. The
ladies OF both Corps tried to outdo each
other In making the most appropriate
and eloquent remarks for the occasion.
In due time the visitors were packed
into their sleds with hot bricks, hot
water bags, hot boards, and an abun-
dance OF blankets and robes. The
visitors started away from the
G. A. II. hall In high glee, but
damper was soon put on the occu-
pants OF one sled load, for they were all
dumped into the ditch in front Of Rob
inson's Main street residence. The
horses were feeling spirited, and so was
the driver, and in trying to pass another
sled the entire load of ladies came to
grief. Some OF them were we'll shaken
up, especially Mrs. Brady, the Oldest
lady In the party. One lady got her
nose skinned, in fact hardly one Of them
escaped without some slight bruise.
The ladies went to the Commercial and
got warmed and prepared for second
start. The side seats of the sled were
In the ditch on Main street yesterday
just where the upset occurred.

Highway Robbers.

Last Saturday evening about half past
seven Ernest Davis started down town.
He came down Jackson street to Russ,
turned up Russ street to Main street
and just as he stepped onto the alley
crossing on Russ two masked men step
ped out and grabbed him. One of the
men held a revolver close to his face
and reqested Ernest to give up his mo-
ney and valuables, and in the meantime
one Of the unknown" took the young
mans watch out Of his pocket, but be-
fore the chain was disconnected Ernest
persuaded the robbers to allow him To
remain owner Of the time keeper. Err
nest emptied his pocket, which contain
ed something over two dollars. The
men wore long overcoats and had on
heavy yelling for masks.

A Mean Trick.

One evening last week as sled load
Of pleasure seekers from Dubois were
driving into Reynoldsville some mean
chap In the east end of town threw a
large piece OF ice and snow at the party
and hit one Of the young ladies in the
face and bruised her face and blackened
one of her eyes. The good people Of this
place have the utmost contempt for
such conduct and are sorry stop can
not be put to it. Because the boys of other
towns are mean and debased is no ex-
cuse why such things should be tolerat-
ed in Reynoldsville. We do not believe
the boys of any town are encouraged in
snow balling and misusing strangers,
only so far as they are encouraged by
not being arrested and made pay fine
for such conduct.

Backward Feature.

One of the most backward features on
the municipal face of Reynoldsville is
the public school buildings. They are
shabby enough for a suberb Of Lynch
burg, or any other town Of moderate
southern pretentions on the James river.
When public necessities are met the
men who meet them are confronted
with all manner Of opposition; some for
selfish interests, some at the hands Of
old foggies and still more from consti-
tutional kickers. II Reynoldsville needs
school houses, sewers and other public
property the citizens will get them
when they go straight ahead with the
business and let the kickers kick. .-Du-

Why slumber Mt your postf
Wake up and agitate our town
Or else give up the ghost.
oh! Board OF Trade, we're sore afraid
That you are in the tolls
OF old 'Prucras," the thief OF time.
While others get the spols.
Obi Board Of Trade neglect has played
Sad havoc with your band
And other towns secured the prize
That wrIggled through your hand.
Obi Board OF Trade, you have been weighed
Within the balance true.
But liven up, there yet Is time
To catch the residue.
OH Board OF Trade, your banners frayed
BY adverse winds galore.
Good chances have escaped your grasp.
Yet still there's room for more.
Obi Board OF Trade, be not dlsmayed,
You've weathered storms before;
Then hold her nozzle 'gainst the bank
Till the last galoots ashore.
Obi Board OF Trade, the collonade
OF any active town,
BE wary, watchful, vigilant
And never trampled down.
Obi Board OF Trade, Il has been said
You slumber In the tomb,
But fervently we hope TO see
You come from out the gloom.
OH Board OF Trade, how have we prayed
That you might resurrect,
So that with industries In time
Our town shall be bedecked.
OH Board of Trade, from every glade
Bring business into town.
Then will be showered on your head
Both glory and renown.

Paid for Interfering.

spent Monday night in the lookup Of
that borough and paid sl4.75 yesterday
morning-fine and costs-for interfering
with the officers who were taking a
man to the lookup. The cOlored man
was served just as he deserved to be.
Any person who interferes with officers
of the law when they are performing
their duty is deserving Of punishment,
and the law is strict on that kind Of
conduct.
