BONDING OF PUBLIC OFFICERS.

Some Curious Features which Treasury
Department Would Like Remedied.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 5.-Some of the
treasury department. officials have been
making interesting discoveries in the
method OF bonding public officers. It is
found that 10a, 900 officers are under
bond to the government, the amount
involved being more than $163, 900, 900.
Most of these officers, 1O4, 900 in num-
Der, r postmasters. There are 215
under the treasury department. There
are 26l under the war department., 29S
III the navy, 500 in the interior depart
ment and 800 nnder other departments.
They Handle Big sums.
One of the %curiosities Of the law is
that no army engineer officer is under
bond. The eight army surgeons have
bonds amounting to $3.50, OiO, while the
engineer officers, who handle millions
Tor rlxer and harbor work, deal directly
with contractors and make disburse-
ments without giving the government
any security. It is likely that an effort
will be made by Secretary Carlisle to
place engineer officers under bond. The
eight surgeons do not in one year dis
burse the sum equal to that paid out for
end harbor work by the engineer
officer stationed at such a place as Bos-
ten, New York or Philadelphia.
The army officers who are stationed
at military schools and who are respon-
sible for second hand guns give bonds
amounting to more than ST. 900, 600. The
discussing clerk in the navy depart
ment, through whose hands pass the
vast sums paid out for armor, warships
and gun forglngs, furnishes a bond of
but $4,000. The head Of the govern
ment hospital for the insane near Wash
ington, who has the disbursing of an
annual sum for supplies for the patients,
furnishes $25, 900. The 81 army quarter
masters who handle funds give bonds
amounting to $1,000, 900, while the Ell.
gl1leer officers in the same service, who
handle sums greatly in excess of that
disbursed by the quartermasters, give
no bond at all. 1t is not known lust
why this neglect has continued for SO
many years. Fortunately there have
been few failures among engineer Of
feers to properly account for public
funds.
Another Curious Feature.
Another curious feature is the lack of
ample provision for the regular examin-
alton OF bonds to determine whether the
mount is sufficient or the sureties soly-
ent, except in Il instance, that of the
paymasters of the army, the law re-
quiring that they be renewed each four
years or o%ftener, by order of the presi-
dent.
Many Of the bonds on file have been
in force from 10 to Is years, and some
ever longer, without any evidence that
any examination has even been made Of
them or any attention paid to the ques-
ton Of security.
The department is in favor of discon-
tinuing personal bonds and substituting
therefor the bonds of trust companies
organized to do this character of bust.
ness, OF which there are several very re-
liable and prosperous concerns in the
leading cities. The substitution is said
to result in the annual saving to the
government of about $4,000.

Radical Changes.

In addition to the various session laws incorpo-
rated, the codes themselves contain many new and
radical changes, which will be published to the world
for the first time in this volume. The probate and jus
tees code have been completely revised. New gar
nishInent, bankruptcy and revenue laws have been
Incorporated. Attorneys will find very important
changes in procedure in civil and criminal actions.
Under this code the manner of beginning civil actions
has been radically changed. No old form of summons
will be good in the future. The jury law has been
amended and all attorneys are very much interested.
Attachment has been materially changed. Liens must
be looked after by the careful practitioner. If you want
to foreclose a mortgage by advertisement it will be
well to first consult the new code.

Thing OF the Past.

Ten years hence a lumber yard will
be one OF the business necessities OF
Brockwayville. BY that time there
will be no mills to 60 to when bill Of
lumber is desired. The town OF Wilcox
In Elk county, is said to have already
reached this condition. For many
years the center OF extensive lumber
operations, the time has finally come
when all lumber needed for domestic
use has to be shipped in from a distance.
-Brockwayville Record. There was
time when even the very site that
Reynoldsville now occupies was covered
with as fine timber as was ever hOated
to the market, but the lumber business
was engaged in so extensively that the
town now has several lumber yards the
stock Of which is shipped in here from
other places.

One Fellow Stabbed.

A free-for-all fight occurred on Main
street, about six o'clock Saturday
evening In front Of the City Hotel,
between number OF Italians and some
Of our native citizens. One Of the
Italians was arrested, taken before the
burgess and fined three dollars and
costs, which stopped the fracas for
time. After being allowed to depart he
followed the rest Of the crowd to the
Hotel America, where the fight was
again taken up. One fellow, who lives
in Prescottville, was stabbed In three
places, though not seriously injured.
The man who was stabbed had three OF
the Italians arrested, the one who had
been fined being among the number,
and they were taken before the burgess
for hearing. There was no evidence
sufficient to convict them OF the charges
and they were permitted to depart.

Heavy Storm.

The thunder storm which passed over
Reynoldsville last Wednesday afternoon
was the heaviest storm that has visited
this section for number Of years
Lightning struck several places In and
near town. The residence OF Mrs. ]. B.
Ayers, in Reynoldsville, and the school
house and new dwelling house Of j. w.
Dempsey, in West Reynoldsville, were
struck. At the first two places mention
ed little or no damage was done, but
the damage to the latter property will
amount to about $3.50. A large hole
was torn in the roof, the weather-board-
ing on one side Of the house torn off and
the plaster knocked down on the inside.
Although nearly all the family were in
the house at the time, beyond slight
shock no one was injured. A number OF
trees and telephone poles were also
struck during the shower. The heavy
rain which fell did considerable damage
to the gardens, completely washing
them out in some places.

"Our Country Cousin"

sour Country Cousin,' a new play Of
rural life, by Charles II. Fleming, is
the attraction at the Holiday Street
theater this week. The performances
yesterday indicate that the play is Of
more than usual interest. The scenery
is realistic and there are some exciting
scenes. There is q railroad scene In
which real switches, telegraph poles,
derrick, etc., are used, while train 200
feet in length makes its flight across
the stage In six seconds. In the farm
scene threshing machine is introduced
which adds to the realism of the play.
Frank Jones, the original 81 Perkins, is
inimitable as Jason Wheatley, the
country cousin. He is ably supported
by Miss Lillian Walton, as Dorothy
Churchill, his sweetheart. ]. G. Cailiy,
as James the servant, does some clever
acting. The entire cast is good and
the play will have successful run here.

The Right Kind Of Citizens.

A town or city is just what its citi-
zens make it. Given the right sort of
people and desert waste will be trans
formed into garden that shall bloom
like the rose and a struggling settle
ment into city. Given the wrong sort
Of citizens, and all the advantages of
soil, climate, geographical position and
wealth will go for naught. Maunfac-
lures do not make the city. The city
makes the manufactures. The stock
yards and grain elevators did not make
Chicago; pork-packing did not make
Cincinnati; a railroad center did not
make indianapolis. In each case the
city is the cause and the business the
effect. These cities had public-spirit-
ed men, and they attracted the kind OF
business which was located in them
that Is all.
And what is the right kind Of citizen?
He is the man who does not look across
the continent for an investment, but
spends his money at home and encour-
ages home enterprises. The right kind
OF a citizen does not grumble about
high taxes, because he has sense enough
to know that taxes must be high in a
growing city, and that II low taxes are
a desideratum he must go to a place
that has stopped growing or that has
never grown much. The right kind of
a citizen knows the distinction between
the virtue OF economy, which avoids all
waste, but spends money freely for pub
lie improvement, and the vice of parsi-
mony, that spends nothing unless abso-
lutely compelled to. The right kind Of
a citizen may be wealthy man-indeed
he is more frequently not One-but he
cheerfully helps support the public
schools and the churches.
The right kind Of a citizen believes
in well-lighted streets and good side
walks, for he knows that vice and crime
hate gas-light and electric light almost
as much as they do daylight and that
they love darkness. He also knows
that these things give agood impression
to strangers. The right kind OF a citi-
zen also is fully aware Of the fact that
no expenditure brings so great return
to the citizen as that which he pays in
taxes, provided it be honestly and judic-
iously applied.

Graduates Tomorrow.

Rev. Farley Paul womer, son OF d
II. =. Womer, Of this place, will grad
uate from three years course at the
Yale University, tomorrow, May 10th,
with B. ID. appended to his name.
While yet In his teens Farley resolved
TO delve into the mines Of knowledge
and grasp from It's depth an education.
Possessed with a strong determination
and n generous supply Of uncultivated
intellect he put the resolve into action
by going TO the Allegheny College at
Meadville, where he remained one term.
From there he went TO the University
at Delaware, Ohio, where almost four
years were spent TO good advantage.
From Delaware Farley went to Dakota
for short time TO proclaim the gospel
to the people on the frontier. While
''roughing II" In that state he secured a
three years scholarship TO Yale Uni
versity.
His career at Yale has been a success
ful one only, however, by three years Of
incessant labor. He was four years
younger than any other member OF his
class and was, therefore, somewhat be-
hind the other members Of the class,
but by extra exertion he gained the
reputation Of being "hard hitter" and
won the commendation Of his professors.
The line OF work that he was most
interested In was Philosophy, History,
Hebrew, Chaldee, Greek, German and
Theology. His graduation tomorrow
will bring to close seven years Of hard
study, not including the time spent In
the schools Of our town.
Besides the multitudinous studies and
labors at Yale, Rev. Womer preached
every Sunday, with few exceptions, for
Congregational church at Somersville,
sixty miles away from New Haven.
Since entering Yale he has withdrawn
from the Methodist ministry and will
break the bread Of life to the people OF
the Congregational church at Somers-
Vile, where he received unanimous
call to become the regular pastor Of the
church.
Farley steps out Of Yale bright
young man who Is deserving Of con-
gratulations for the success he has
achieved, and is sample Of what a
young man can do II he possesses the
necessary will power, backbone and
pluck.
Dame Rumor asserts, and perhaps
there is good foundation for the asser-
tion, that the young minister has de-
cided that ''it is not good for man to
live alone" and that before another
twelvemonth is checked of on the
calender Of time, he will take one Of the
handsome and accomplished young
blondes OF Reynoldsvile unto himself as
helpmate I'm the Journey OF life.

A Sad Accident.

Ch i"op u iutou"y ihoihihB ID - Wttls,
son Of w. w. Wells, Of West Reynolds
vile, was drowned while at work
driving logs on the Eau Claire River,
in Wisconsin. The young man was 90
years Of age the Sth Of last October
He was born In Clarion county and
came to Reynoldsville with his parents
about three years ago, and had made
his home with them until about last
October. Since leaving home he has
been In Wisconsin for sometime, and
was engaged by the Northwestern
Lumber Co. to drive log just few days
before the sad accident happened. His
experience at log driving was limited,
and besides this he was not able TO swim.
When the accident occurred he was on
log In the river and In some manner
slipped and fell In, and was never seen
alive again. Although every effort was
made TO save him, his body did not
come TO the surface until life was
extinct. When found he was at the
bottom Of the river and his hands were
clutched TO the grass and weeds. A
friend Of his, who was working with
him and saw the accident, had the body
cared for and sent word OF the accident
to his parents at this place, who i'm
mediately sent telegram TO have the
remains sent here. II was expected
that the body would get here on Friday
and services could be held that day, but
for some reason his remains did not
arrive until Saturday morning, reach
Ing here on special train from Falls
Creek, on the II. & +. G. R'y, at about
HOO o'clock. He was taken TO the un-
dertaker's rooms on arriving here, and
at one o'clock the relatives and friends
drove TO the cemetery Of the Old Ma
honing Baptist church, near Smicks-
burg, Indiana county, where the mortal
body was laid In its last resting place.
The deceased was an Industrious and
honest young man, OF strictly temperate
habits. He was member Of the Young
Peoples Society OF Christian Endeavor
OF the Baptist church at this place, and
the beautiful floral Offering made by
that society would show with what re-
spect he was held by them. Below we
publish an account Of his death as pub
lished in the Eau Claire wis., Morning
Telegram:
Judd Wells, a young man OF twenty
two years, working on the drive for the
Northwestern Lumber company, fell off
log In the south fork OF the Eau Claire
river yesterday morning and was
drowned. The young fellow who came
to this section Of the country last fall
for the first time from Pennsylvania,
was very popular among the men. He
was quiet and unassuming and total
abstainer. He knew nothing Of riding
logs, and when he fell Off, the log got
away from him. Nor could the young
man swim. A companion Of the de-
ceased, Richard Melville, jumped into
the rushing waters and made desper-
ate attempt to save Wells, but 1t seems
that the unfortunate fellow got tangled
up In the grass at the bottom OF the
river. His body was recovered and
sent here for burial. A telegram re-
ceiyed here from his father, however,
directed that the body be sent there
last night by the undertakers."
