Monday and yesterday Professor Mum
yon advertised to give away, absolutely
free, 10000 Walls of his Rheumatism Rem
to investigate and publish the results in
each case as reported to them, either good
edy. requesting the newspapers of the city
or bad. In this way Professor Munyon
proposed to prove the efficacy of his Rheu-
matism Remedy before asking the public
to spend one cent. Never before in the his
tory of medicine has there been a physi-
clan or company which have dared to risk
their reputation in an actual test of the
remedies by the people. Such unbounded
faith in the virtue of their medicine. as
shown by the Munyon Company. at once
gave the public confidence in them, and
the result has been this:
Monday S1S7 samples were given away
and yesterday the Herald building was
thronged with persons anxiously waiting
to obtain vial of Munyon's Rheumatism
Cure. The demand exceeded that of the
previous day, and when the distribution
closed it was found that 1894 sufferers had
been accommodated. and now there are
S641 sick and afflicted persons testing the
value of the cure. AS the results are pub
lished each day in the leading papers, no
doubt thousands who have given up all
try this and other remedies, just as effect
i've. manufactured by the Munyon Com
pany.
During the past four years Professor
Munyon has given away free over 5000. 900
bottles of his cures from leading dailies all
over the country, and in no case have they
reported. after careful investigation, less
than 30 per cent out of every 100 cured
or greatly benefited. What a contrast be-
tween this honest method of proving the
virtue of his remedies and others who
promise so much. but always ask the pa
tient for money in advance.
Professor Munyon does not expect You
to put any faith in his medicine until thou
sands have tested their merits. He does
not bring testimonials from other places
thousands of miles away but obtains them
in your own city and state in manner
which prevents any possible chance of de-
ceit or unbelief.
If you are afflicted with any disease
ask your druggist for a Munyon cure. If
YOU are in doubt as to the nature of your
disease write to Professor Munyon, 1905

Died Thursday.

William Bell son Of j. II. Bell,
superintendent of the Bell, Lewis Il
Yates G. M. Co., died at ITO p. NJ,
Thursday March 9Th, after prolonged
illness of almost twenty-three weeks.
The young man first had typhoid fever,
that was followed by pneumonia, which
in turn was followed by consumption.
He was patient sufferer. He was
rational until the very last moment.
Three minutes before his spirit took its
flight from the emaciated body the
young man wanted to get up. With
his last breath he lisped the word,
"mother." William was the youngest
member of Mr.. and Mrs. ]. II. Bells
family. He was born at Dunbar,
Fayette Co., Pa, and was 10 years, 0
months and % days old. He was six
feet and one inch tall. The deceased
was member of the Presbyterian
church and the funeral services were
held in that church at 2.l5 p. NJ. Sun
day. conducted by Rev. II. II. johnson,
pastor of the church. The funeral was
an unusually large one and the church
was not large enough to hold more
than about half the people who wanted
TO get in to hear the services. A
special train was run from Helyetia to
accommodate friends who were anxious
to be present, The train arrived here
over the II. & +. G. R'y about Las p. NJ.
and returned Immediately after the
funeral. The remains Of the young
man were taken to Beulah cemetery
and laid away to await the resurrection
morn. The floral contributions were
very elaborate, in fact there has never
been funeral in Reynoldsville where
flowers were so lavishly displayed.
The floral contributions were from the
following sources: Anchor, from the
employees OF the b., l.. & Y. @. M. Co.,
with whom the deceased had worked;
large boquet from N. T. L. Society of
the Presbyterian church; boquet OF
roses, Miss McLeavy, OF Stanley; large
boquet, Mr.. and Mrs. F. M. Brown and
Hon. S. b. Elliott; basket of flowers,
Mrs. DR.. Williams, of Adrian large
boquet of lilies, Mr.. Winslow and Mr..

Will be Used for Cemetery.

A few years ago the idea was conceiv-
ed of converting an eight-acre piece of
land south Of town into cemetery.
The land was surveyed and laid out in
lots and the, to be, silent city was called
Pleasant Avenue cemetery. A few
people bought lots and buried their
loved ones there. Satisfactory arrange
ments could not be made with the
Central Land and Mining Co., who own
the land, in regard to the price thereof
and the matter has been standing un-
settled, although j. j. Sutter, agent for
the G. l.. g. M. Co., has used his in
fluence to persuade the company to
lessen the price asked. The indications
have been several times that the scheme
would be abandoned and those who had
buried loved ones there would have to
lift them. The company has at last
accepted the price offered for the land
and we have been informed by Mr..
Sutter, in few days a Reynoldsville
stock company will be incorporated and
will purchase the land, now known as
the Pleasant Avenue cemetery, for the
purpose of using it as a burying ground.

Accepted the Reduction.

1t was mentioned in The STAR last
week that the Bell, Lewis & Yates G.
M. Co. had made reduction of one
cent, from % to % cents, per ton on the
price of machine mining, to take effect
March 2nd, and that the machine men
effected.-the machines working in wet
and bad places were not included in the
reduction,-did not go to work Monday.
They were idle until Saturday morning
and then went to work at the 22-cent u
ton rate. Delegates were sent to Adrian
by the r. & p. G. & |. Co., to confer
with the cutters and scrapers there.
The delegates returned Thursday and
at meeting held that day reported
that the price paid for machine work at
the two places named is the same as the
rate proposed by the company here, %
cents. There was practically nothing
done at the meeting OF the machine
workers Thursday but TO decide to call
general mass meeting of the miners
to be held near Prescottville Friday at
200 p. NJ, at which meeting only few
of the employees of the company out
side of the machine men who had been
reduced, the other machine men were
working, attended the meeting. After
the situation was well discussed it was
decided to accept the reduction and a
committee was appointed to wait upon
General Manager Elliott and inform him
that they were ready to resume work If
all would be permitted to do so. The
committee was to report at the mine
Saturday morning and II the answer
was favorable, and there was no dis
elimination, they were to resume work
that morning, but If they were not all
permitted to return to work a meeting
was to be held at 1000 A. NJ. Saturday.
The company's answer was favorable
and the machines were started Satur,
day morning. The machines mine
about fifty ton a day, which means %
cents day of a reduction to the cutters
| and scrapers.

Death from Uterine Cancer.

Mrs. Eliza A. Pomroy, aged almost 73
years, died at the home of her son,
Joseph Pomroy, in this place last We'd
nesday afternoon. About six months
ago Mrs. Pomroy had stroke of par
alysis which robbed her OF all use Of
her left side. Nine weeks before she
died the old lady raised up from the
chair on which she was sitting to re-
arrange the cushion under her and in
so doing lost her equilibrium and fell to
the floor, dislocating her left hip by the
fall. Although her left side was
powerless from the effects OF paralysis
and her left hip dislocated, yet her
death resulted from uterine cancer.
Before Mrs. Pomroy died she made a
request that her remains be taken to
the M. f. church, of which she had
been a member for years, where she
wanted the funeral services held. She
also selected the hymns TO be sung at
her funeral. The funeral services were
held in the M. E. church Friday after
noon, conducted by Rev. j. w. Crawford,
pastor Of the church, and her remains
were buried In Beulah cemetery. The
funeral was largely attended. The
deceased had lived In Reynoldsyille

Burglarsi Did You Say 7

About two o'clock last Friday morn
ing Glenn A. Milliren, who sleeps in
his large clothing store, was awakened
by noise which sounded like side
walk cracking with frost, but Glenn
soon discovered that an unlimited
customer was attempting to gain access
into the store through back window.
When the clothier reached the window
and pulled up the blind the window was
raised about two feet and q man was
standing in front OF IL with his hands
on the sash ready to give IL another
h hoist, and when Glenn pointed his
revolver at the intruder and ask him
what he wanted, he made an exceeding
ly hasty retreat. Glenn thinks there
were three in the party. A fiat five.
eighth instrument was used to pry up
the window. II was the breaking Of
the fastener on the window that
awakened Glenn.
When ID. b. Stauifer's store in West
Reynoldsville was opened Friday morn
ing It did not require second look to
convince Will that burglars had been
in the store during the night. An
investigation showed that the burglars
had helped themselves TO shirts,
suspenders, gloves, handkerchiefs,
pipes, tobacco and two bottles of pop.
They carried a lot of goods out of the
building which they did not carry away
with them. They gained entrance into
the store by prying open the front door.
Mr.. Staufler thinks there were only
two OF them because they only drank
two bottles OF pop. II may be possible
the third man was not thirsty or that
he did not want to put anything so
tame into his stomach. Three fellows
were seen below Hopkins mill about
daylight Friday morning headed for
Brookville who were suspicious looking
chaps and their coats were bulged out,
showing that they had something con-
cealed under them.
1t was the same parties who attempt
ed to break into Millirens store that
did get into Stauffer's store. In the
hurry to ransack the store and select
the goods they wanted they forgot two
of their tools in Stauffer's store, mat
took, without handle, and five-eighth
chisel, well sharpened, which was the
exact size of the instrument used at
