THE POST-WIDNEY DEBATE
An Event Of Rare Interest In Prospect-The
Single Tax Theory

SiuRle AK iueoTy
Louis F. Post, the national lecturer for
the single takers, arrived here yesterday,
but Immediately proceeded to Pasadena,
where he has New York friends and
where he will lecture on Saturday even
ing, the 10th.
Much interest is felt among citizens OF
Los Angeles in the forthcoming Post
Widney debate, which will lake place next
Monday evening, the 18th inst, in Unity
Church, under the management of the
Single Tax Club. Indications point to a
crowded house on that interesting occa-
sion. Mr.. Post believes that the para
mount question before the people, and
the one to be settled first is that of taxa
ton, or the abolition of land monopoly,
by the application OF the single tax.
On the other hand, Judge r. M. Wild
question is of first importance, and he
holds clearly defined views as to all ideal
financial system. A joint discussion on
the rela tive importance of these two ques
tons, by such able speakers as Louis F.
Post and Judge Widney. will be rarely
entertaining and educational feast, which
none who can be present should fail to
attend.
At the regular weekly meeting OF Single
Takers and inquirers ON Saturday evening
next, in Blanchard Fitzgerald hall, a
short address will be delivered by s..
Byron Welcome, author of Earth's Center,
after which the audience will be invited
to present either written or verbal ques-
tions, to be answered by single-tax
speakers.

JUST WALKED AWAY
A Prisoner Who Wanted to 90 Free
Yesterday

Flossie Devine, who several days ago
was convicted of vagrancy and who was
out on bail pending her sentence, went
down to Judge Morrison court yester-
day to make some arrangements to have
bonds substituted for the cash bail.
She had surrendered herself into Gus
tody, received the money from the clerk
and was seated in an ante-room waiting
till the bonds should be properly drawn
up and an order of release signed by the
Judge. She noticed that the policemen
standing about were paying but little at
tention to her, and made up her mind to
leave without the formality of giving
bonds. So she just got up and walked
away, brushing past several officers and
detectives on the way.
OF course there was great furry when
the vigilant guardians OF the peace found
that the prisoner had walked away. A
bench warrant was sworn out for her
arrest, and Detective Holland is now
looking for her.

really catch bullets at all. The man l am

Cook held up the train that Mahara
was on. Now Bill hadn't been doing SO
much of business that he felt overly
opulent. He was the treasurer of the
company as well as manager, and had just
about enough in his sack to pay board
bills at the next stand. Besides this he
was wearing great big diamond in his
shirt front and most of his comedians
had glass affairs on their chests. Cook
thought he had made great haul.

Mahara dug up the company's grub
stake, but before he had handed it to the
bandit, the thought struck him that he
never would be able to go on with the
tour if he had not that diamond to make
front with. So he determined to give
the outlaw talk.
You don't want that" he began.
Never mind about that, said Cook.
"Just fork it over"

But Cook thought the argument had

blood streaming from his forehead.
Everybody thought he was dead, and
they crowded around to straighten out
the corpse. There was hole between his
eyes. and to all appearances the ball had
crushed through the brain. But after
about five minutes the corpse sat up, and
opened its eyes.
Where am 1 at?" he asked as he looked
around. Then he felt for his diamond

bloody features when he found it was
still there.
When they examined him they found
that the bullet had fattened itself against
the frontal bone and had done nothing
more than stun him.

Elected Teachers.

The school directors of Winslow town

A New Bridge Needed.

County Commissioners Samuel States
and Daniel Brewer came upfrom Brook
vile last Friday morning and drove out
to take look at the bridge which spans
Trout Run near the site of the old
Swartz mill. 1t is an unsettled thing
whether the bridge was ever accepted
by the county or whether it belongs to the
township. However, the bridge needs
repairing. II it is the cOunty's work to
look after the bridge it will be replaced
with new iron bridge and will be at
tended to at once. II the township has
to repair the bridge the work had bet
ter be done before an accident occurs
on it. This is the bridge that DR..
Reynolds horse and cart took tumble
OIL of last year. Guard rails cannot be
put up too soon. 1t is very likely the
commissioners will find it their duty to
do the work and that new iron bridge
will span the stream before snow flies.

Thinks It was an Accident.

County Commissioner States was in
Reynoldsville last Friday on county
business. He is feeling very badly over
the death of his son, Elmer j. States,
which occurred the 10Th Of July. In
conversation with Mr.. States he said he
thought his sons death was an acci-
dent. Some six years ago Elmer was
struck on the head by swinging boom
while at work on the abutments of a
railroad bridge, and from that time on
he was melancholy most of the time,
but showed no other signs of a weakened
mind. Prior to the accident he was a
bright and jovial young man. Up to
the time of his death he was very in
dustrious; worked early and late. He
bought piece OF land some distance
from his fathers farm and TO save a
long walk to and from his meals, Elmer
built a little shanty on his land and
would carry enough provisions from
home to his shanty to do him for days
at time. On the morning OF the 10th
the young mans reasoning faculties
were clouded and he imagined his
father was going to kill him and he
went into Punxsutawney and bought a
selfacting revolver. He returned to
his shanty and wrote letterto young
lady to the effect that in case his father
should kill him he wanted her to have
his property. In the afternoon the
young man was at home with no appar-
ent sign OF insanity. In the evening a
young friend was passing his shanty and
Elmer invited him in, showed him the
new revolver, asked him to explain how
it worked as he, Elmer, did not under
stand it. Elmer asked his friend to
stay all night, but on account OF attend
ing lodge he could not stay. Elmer
prepared everything for his breakfast
and left no sign that he contemplated
committing the rash act, and Mr.
States is OF the opinion that he was ex.
amining the revolver and it went of
with the sad result. The deceased wa:
highly respected in the community
where he resided.
The Dubois Courier in giving an ac
count OF the sad affair, said the young
man had trouble at his home and LIVED
in shanty. Mr.. States felt as much
grieved over the bereavement as any
| father could feel and the statement
made by the Courier only added to hi
burden. However, last Saturday morn
ing the Courier corrected its misstate
ment. Mr.. States and his son nevel
had any trouble and there was NJ
grounds for the statement that he hat
trouble at his home.

A Widow Committed Suicide.

Mrs. Dasic McGeary, relict of Warren
McGeary who died about one year ago,
committed suicide last week at the
home of her mother-in-law, Mrs. David
McGeaiy, who lives on farm in the
Beechwoods. The young widow became
melancholy after her husband died and
last Thursday night took enough NOR
phine to end her life at noon on Friday.
Her maiden name was Dasie Bowser
and the home of her parents is in War
saw township. She left letter for her
mother-in-law and sister in which she
stated she was going TO meet Warren.

TO PAVE OR NOT TO PAVE,
Question for the Voters of this Borough TO
Settle Aug 24th.

Question for the Voters of this Borough to
Settle Aug. 24th.
Two years ago Main street was paved
from the iron bridge to the Presbyterian
church, and who would want to return
to the old way of having n muddy street
and the crossings inundated every spring
and fall ? We are positive long and
loud howl would go up, especially by
the people along that portion Of Main
street that has been paved, II council
would decide to tear up the paving. II
u paved street is n good thing for the
west end of Main street would IL not
be just rs good thing for the east end
of Main street? The tax payers are
not all huddled into ono end OF Reyn-
oldsville. What will enhance the pro-
perty In one section of town In the way
of street improvements will in another.
Ever since the paving was done on
Main street there has been dissatisfac-
tion among many Of the tax payers Of
the east end Of town because the paving
was not extended to that part Of town.
The matter has been agltated until the
town council finally decided TO submit IL
to the voters of the borough, and Sat
urday, August 2ith, 1895, has been Sc
lected as the day for the people to ex-
press themselves on the subject by bal
lot. The proposition Is 60 bond the bor-
ough for $1,000 and to expend the
money in extending paving on Main
street to Tom Reynolds barn, pave
Tenth TO jackson, jackson TO Fifth,
Fifth to Main. The last assessed vaua-
tion Is 1865, ,33S; amount Of existing debt
Is SIC, ,422.0S; the percentage Of the pro-
posed increase on the last assessed
valuation is 1902 per cent II will be
seen by the above figures that Reynolds
vile can afford to issue bonds for IS, 600
to improve the town by having good
streets. How much money has been ex-
pended on the unpaved streets Of our
town this year and how much better
will the same streets be next spring +?
Every year considerable money is spent
in repairing the prominent streets.
True we should have sewerage in
Reynoldsville, and are badly in need of
1t, paved streets or not, but under the
existing condition of things 1t will be
some time before we get the sewerage
and why not have good streets until we
get the sewerage? The voters of the
west end should remember the golden
rule when they go to the ballot box on
August oath. We have heard very few
people express their views on the ques-
tion and do not know how the vote will
go, but hardly think the people of Reyn-
oldsville will vote against bonding the
borough for $4,000 when they consider
the value of good streets.

Bonds Not Sold Yet,

1t has been discovered recently that
the last Legislature passed a bill allow
ing cities and boroughs to bond only to
the amount of . per cent on the valua-
tion of the property, and for this reason
the New York parties have not taken
the bonds of this borough yet. The
general opinion is that the act is un-
constitutional, but until an opinion is
given by good authority the bonds of
this borough for school purposes will
not be taken by the New York parties.
If the law will stand, then Reynoldsville
will not build a new brick school house.
The matter will be settled in few
days. Esq. Davis thinks it will terml-
nate all right and the school house will
be erected.

The serpent dance, winding through

pears almost a transformation or re-
incarnation of the performer into the
cobra, which she represents. saws All
the Year Round. Instincts inherited
from bygone generations of Nautch,
dancers combine with close observation
of nature to produce miraculous re-
suits. The Nautch girl lives to please
and labors for that end with the sue
cess which attends the unwearied pur-
suit of one absorbing object. Universal
influence and fascination still belong to
her, though in narrower range than of
old, and the dancer of Tanjore, who
concentrates the whole force of her
genius upon the requirements of her
art, differs as much from the ordinary
Nautch girl of India as a masterpiece
of Raphael from the sign board which
swings before the rustic inn Every
feature of the mobile face reflects the
passing sentiment of the moment in the
drama delineated with consummate
skill; the dark eyes flash with fury, fill
with tears or melt with tenderness, &C
cording to the exigencies of the vary
ing situation, and in the nervous ener-
gy which throbs and palpitates through
every vein and fiber of the elastic and
exquisitely proportional frame, the tide
of life seems to glow through the veil
of flesh like some mystic flame burn
ing in a crystal lamp. The Nautch
girls form distinct caste and Jealous
ly retain their immemorial rights and
privileges. They exercise their own
laws and customs with the independ-
ence of control gained by wider ex-
perience of life than that permitted to
their Indian sisters.
