John X. Dunkle Dead.

John X. Dunkle, of West Reynolds
vile, died suddenly at his home in that
borough about one o'clock yesterday
morning of heart trouble. Mr.. Dunkle
had been down street until after nine
o'clock Monday evening. He retired
and about midnight told his wife he
was cold and got out of bed and sat
down in front of the stove in a chair.
He was not in the chair long until his
head fell back. A doctor was called
but before he arrived the soul and body
of Mr.. Dunkle had separated forever.
The deceased had lived in Reynoldsville
for many years and was well known in
this neighborhood. His death was a
great surprise because he had been on
the streets on Monday in apparently
good health. Funeral Thursday after
noon.

Dubois Failures,

The closing of the Bank of Dubois
last Thursday morning raised quite an
excitement in Dubois and surrounding
community among the depositors of the
bank, and was the the theme OF discus
sion in Reynoldsville Thursday after
noon, yet 1t was not unexpected among
a number of people in Dubois and Reyn-
oldsville. The bank has been in deli
cate condition for some time for ready
cash. Cashier Weis was in Reynolds
vile along about the first of last month
to borrow money to carry on the busi-
ness. just what the depositors will get
out of the bank is one of the unknown
things at present. The Courier, which
let the banking institution down easy,
holds out the encouragement that the
depositors will be paid one hundred
cents on the dollar.
Fl. Loeb, one of the leading business
men of Dubois, made an assignment
Friday. The Courier says: "Some late
Judgements have been entered against

A Pleasant Affair.

The reception given by the citizens
of West Reynoldsville, in honor Of the
teachers of the public schools, in the
city hall last Wednesday evening was a
very pleasant affair. Nearly all the
people Of that borough, old and young,
attended the reception, and the hall
was packed during the entire evening.
The first story of the building was
converted into dining room where
three large tables, at which fifty-four
could be seated at one time, were load
ed down with good things to eat.
Supper was served about eight o'clock,
after which all repaired to the second
floor, where an organ had been taken
to furnish music, and everything ar
ranged for good time. The fun for
the evening ended with a cake walk
about eleven o'clock.
The teachers, Prof. Lex. N. Mitchell,
Jennie White and Maggie Butler, ap-
preciated the kind act of the citizens
who rendered the reception, and are
very grateful for the same.

An Active Life.

We made mention last week of the
death of Rev. Saml Miles, which oc-
Cured at Ansonville, Clearfield county,
on the 5th inst, but were unable to get
facts to give sketch OF his life last
week, and as he was we'll known In
Reynoldsville and has son and daugh-
ter living here, we publish a short
sketch OF his life this week.
Rev. Samuel Miles was born in the
United States Arsenal at Gray's Ferry,
near Philadelphia, on the Schuylkill,
Nov. 18th, 1906. He moved TO Miles
burg, Center county, In 1890 and in four
years afterwards was ordained into the
Baptist ministry and was soon after.
wards married to Mary Ann Upton, of
Bellefonte, who died in 1864 and he
afterward was married TO Elizabeth
Robinson, Of Curwensville, who sur
wives him. He was the father OF thir-
teen children, six of whom survive him.
He had fifty-two grand children and
sixty-one great grand children.
In 1S4l he organized Zion church,
where he died, and he remained there
until 1864, when he moved to Brooklyn,
Iowa. From there he moved to Pres
cottville, and seventeen years ago NOV
ed back to the Zion church, Clearfeld
county, where he done his last work.
Rev. Miles came of remarkable fami-
ly. For four generations back the
fathers, in line of descent had been
ministers Of the gospel, and the deceas-
ed was himself one of the five sons, four
Of whom were Baptist preachers. He
had many trials and hardships in his
early ministry that is unknown to the
preachers Of this section to-day. In
those times roads were bride paths,
streams were bridgeless and the country
almost a bowling wilderness. Services
were then held in barns, log houses or
huts.

Work or Paw.

Three fellows were arrested Saturday
night for being drunk and disorderly

friend paid the fine for one of the men
and he was given his freedom Saturday
night and the other two remained in
the lookup until Sunday morning and
paid five dollars apiece for their free

dollars apiece and wanted off for that
but Burgess Lattimer refused to accept
that amount and authorized the chief
of-police to lock them up again, and the
street commissioner was to put them To
work Monday morning in leveling of
the snow along the sides of the streets.
When the chaps saw the Burgess was
in earnest and would not come down on
the fine, they preferred to pay five dol
lars rather than work 'on the streets
five days. The fellows that are 'shy'

In the Waste Basket.

We received communication claim
ing to be from coal miner of Rathmel
yesterday which was thrown into the
waste basket because the writer did not
sign his name to it. When people learn
that all communications must be accom-
panied by the writer's name, there will
not be so many articles consigned to the
waste basket. The communication came
down heavy on some Of the miners Of
Rathmel, calling them "deceitful, two
faced hypocrites, black as satan," &C.,
and suggested that they be treated
with good dose of tar and feathers.
The writer says the men referred to

and another thing to the men, trying to
