Editor was Misinformed.

I'VE are informed that Rev. w. S.
Gearhart, now in charge of the Emer-
ickville circuit, will retire from the
ministry at the meeting of the Erie
annual conference in September, his
purpose being to settle down on his
farm near Putneyville, in Armstrong
county"
The above item appeared in the
Brookville Democrat, last week. Rev.
Gearhart was in Reynoldsville on Fri
day and we asked him about the state
ment. He said the editor of the Demo-
crot had been misinformed, as he had
no intention of giving up the ministry
and settling on farm. Afew years ago
a small farm was willed to him with a
debt OF one thousand dollars hanging
over 1t. II he ever gets that paid the
farm will be his. The farm, however,
so far has been somewhat of burden
to him as he has not received enough
off it to pay the taxes and necessary ex-
penses OF keeping 1t up.

Red Men.

The second anniversary of the I'M
proved Order Of Red Men held in the
Grand Army hall last Saturday night
was grand success both financially and
socially. An excellent supper was
served in the hall after which first
class entertainment was given. The
small sum of twenty-five cents pur-
chased ticket which entitled the hold
er to square meal and reserved seat
to hear the entertainment. Ice cream
and cake was served during the evening
to all who made application for the
same and had enough ''coin OF the
realm" to liquidate the expense OF such
indulgence. The Excelsior Cornet
band enlivened the anniversary with
some delightful music. The Red Men,
their wives and friends were we'll pleas
ed with the second anniversary, and II
is likely they will have q similar "blow-
out" when Old Father Time brings In
the date Of the third anniversary.

AN EXCITING RACE.
Five Bicycle Riders Make Good Time
Over Hills and Wales.

1t was announced in The STAR last
week that Will II. Bell was the instiga.
tor OF twenty-one and a quarter mile
road race that was TO take place Friday
evening, start to be made at six o'clock
and the route to be VIA Falls Creek,
Dubois and West Liberty. At two
minutes after six o'clock on the even
ing set five bicycle riders, John H.
Schofeld, Frank o. Sutter, Roman T..
Koehler, Chas. b. French and Howard
Kaucher, shot over the scratch line in
front Of Bells store with determined
expression Of Observation-Disclosures
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS depicted
on their countenances. A large crowd
was present to see them start. Ed.
Gooder was stationed at Falls Creek,
Louis Mellinger and Frank Alexander
at Dubois, Clarence Reynolds and Chas.
Mckee at West Liberty and at each
place there was line across the street
and as each man passed over it their
time was taken and reported to Reyn-
oldsville by telephone. The time was
as follows: Falls Creek, Sutter 6.32,
French 8.32 and 10 seconds, Schofield
6.32 and Is seconds, Kaucher 633 and
seconds, Koehler 8.35; at Dubois:
Sutter @. 43 and 80 seconds, French 6.44
and 15 seconds, Schofeld 6.44 and 45
seconds, Kaucher 6.45 and As seconds,
Koehler 6.46 and As seconds; at West
Liberty: Sutter 100 and 10 seconds,
French 7.0l and 20 seconds, Schoheld
7.0l and 25 seconds, Kaucher 702 and
40 seconds, Koehler 7.06 and so seconds;
at Reynoldsville Sutter 1928, Schofield
7.24t, French 7.29, Kaucher 1924,
Koehler 1914. They made the run of
PIT miles as follows: Sutter, one hour
and twenty-one minutes; Schofield, one
hour and twenty-five and one-half min
utes; French, one hour and twenty
seven minutes; Kaucher, one hour and
twenty-seven and one-half minutes;
Koehler, one hour and twenty-nine and
one-half minutes. The last man in made
better time than many OF the people
thought any of them would make.
Considering the hills to climb, rough
road in some places and the dust, all
riders did remarkably well.
There were people at all prominent
places to see them pass by. Main
street was alive with people ten minutes
before the first rider came in who were
anxiously waiting to see how the race
would terminate. The race raised the
biggest excitement Reynoldsville has
had since the Fourth of July.
1t is likely there will be another race
over the same route before very long in
which more riders will enter and there
will be more prizes offered.

its head sticking up about five inches.
VIM. Ford cut long stick and attacked
the enemy. Mrs. Barto got an ounce of
oil out Of the snake.

Democrat Primaries.

B. H. Whitehill, Chairman Demo-
cratic County Committee, has issued a
call for the Democrat primaries to be
held on Saturday, August 3rd. At q
meeting Of the committee men held at
Brookville recently they decided not to
put a candidate in the field for Presi-
dent Judge, but the chairman's call
says lone person for President Judge"
There are no candidates out for the
nomination for that Office. The Brook
vile Democrat says: "The Democrats
Of the county will now have chance to
put In practice the old rule that the
office should seek the man. They will
be compelled to do this, as no man is
seeking Office"

stalks are eighteen feet high, with
three and four ears on almost every
stalk.

Killed on a Railroad.

J. Pearl Hoffman, son Of Frank Hoff-
man, Of Sandy Valley, and Mrs. Kate
Hoffman, OF Summerville, Pa, was
instantly killed on the d. L. & w. r..
r. near Hobokin, N. J. on the 23rd inst.
Just how the young man was so sudden
ly usbered into eternity is not known.
He left New Hartford, Iowa, July 10th
in charge Of car load OF horses that
were being shipped to Patterson, N. j.,
and was killed before reaching his des-
tination with the horses. His remains
were shipped to Summerville and bur-
led at that place last Friday. The
young man was nineteen years old the
5th of last April. Four years ago Pearl
spent sometime with J. A. Welsh, the
groceryman, in this place and many Of
the boys were well acquainted with him.
In July, 1892, Pearl went to South Da-
kota where he remained until August
of 1894, when he came to New Hartford,
Iowa. He expected to deliver the car
of horses at Patterson, N. j., and then
visit his mother at Summerville, hav-
ing sent his clothing home with the
understanding that he would reach
home on the 26th inst. His remains ar
rived at Summerville on that date, but
1t was sad home coming for his
mother.

About half the amountrequired to meet
the expense of fixing up the track has
been raised already. The track is al
most an assured thing. The Clover
Cycle Club will have charge of it.
Some of the business men have been en-
couraging the scheme by subscribing
literally to it. Money is the kind of
encouragement the boys want.

Wheels in Their Heads.

Men make cities-men of enterprise
men who are not afraid TO venture.
Conservative citizens who hang onto
their dollars, and comfort themselves
with the reflection that "a bird In the
hand is worth two in the bush," are not
the fellows who develop towns. into
cities. Import into a stagnant and sta
tionary town colony OF hardy Yankees
with heads full of steam-hammer,
pulley, crank and toothed wheel; with
ideas, energy, hustle and courage, and
everything begins to shine with values.
1t gives life to all. They make things
spin. The old, contented fellows are
astonished at the turn things have
taken, but they never suspect the true
cause. jamestown, N. Y, is a sample
of what little Yankee enterprise has
done for slow community. The citi-
zens of Punxsutawney could every one
afford to give half they own to induce
people with the wheels OF industry in
their heads TO come here and make
things um.-Punxsutawney Spirit.
Reynoldsville is badly in need of few
more people with "wheels in their
heads"

A Bicycle Victim.

A few remnants Of what was once, no
doubt, a whole man were sitting over on
the porch Of the Hotel Evergreen one
day this week. His eye was blackened
and there was a huge cut underneath it.
His hand was swollen until it was about
three or four inches thick, and he looked
a great deal as though he had got up
from dissecting table after the doctors
were about half done with him. When
he was asked what was the matter with
him, he said "Bicycle," and no further
questions were asked. Everybody un-
derstood him.-Falls Creek Herald.
