Two men raised window and there
by gained an enterance into the resi-
dcnce of w. II. Bell, jr., the clothier
about three o'clock yesterday morning.
Mr. Bell awakened when the robbers
We're slipping up stairs and as his re-
volver was in another room from that
in which he was sleeping, he jumped
out of bed and closed the folding doors
and that frightened the robbers away.
They ran down stairs and out of the
back door which they had opened wide
before starting up stairs. All Mr.. Bell
were good sized men. They did not
molest anything down stairs.

Protestant Ladies' Association, Guiding
Star Lodge No. -. was organized In

There are some people in Reynolds
vile who are either ignorant of the law
restricting trespassing in cemeteries
and dcsecrating graves by plucking
flowers therefrom or taking anything
that has been placed thereon by loving
hands, or they simply ignore the law,
for such things are done occasionally in
the cemeteries at this place. Those
who have been guilty Of this crime, for
50 it is in the sight Of the law, had bet.
ter stop short and do so no more.

Robbers Secure Two Gold Watches and
Ninety Dollars in Cash

Ninety Dollars in Cash.
Last Monday two well dressed, but
badly soilcd fellows who looked as II
they had "freighted It In" registered at
Hotel Bclnap ns James Davis and Bret
ram Harvey, of Philadelphia, and paid
their bills up to Wednesday noon. After
agcnerous application Of soap and water
and the purchase Of now linen they
were rather gentcel looking. They
were both medium size: one had high
cheek bones, not II very fell face and II
small mustache: the other one had n
full, round face, no mustache and rather
good looking. They claimed their bust
ness WIS working advertising schemes.
In some business places in town they
said they were getting out II 5000 edi-
tion Of "A vest pocket dictionary for
| Rcynoldsville, and collected cash In ad-
vance In several places with the order
for AN "ad" In the directory. Wcdnes-
day afternoon they started for Brook
Vile but only purchased tickets to Full
lers aud walked from their to the
county seat via Iowa Mills where they
stopped to rest and made inquiry about
the store thqt had formerly been run in
that place. The store inquired for was
owned by A. ID. Deemer and was closed
over year ago. Five years ago robbers
cracked" the safe open In the Iowa Mills
store and secured a small amount Of
cash and jewelry. The two chaps
walked to Brookvlllc and began solicit
ing advertisements. They paid their
hotel bill up to Thursday evening, and
were seen around the town late in the
evening but have not been seen or heard
from since. Notwithstanding the fact
that several Brookville parties. who
are minus their gold watches, chains
and some cash, are anxious to see them.
The two "larkirs'' above mentioned
called at A. -. Decmrr's residence in
Brookvillc Thursday evening to soc
him, but he was not Ut home. Friday
morning when Mr.. Decmer got out OF
bed his pants and vest were not in his
room. They were afterwards found
near the barn. His pockets had been
"riied." his gold watch and chain were
gone and few dollars that were in his
pocket book. The pocket book con.
tanned several Thousand dollars In
notes. The notes were scattered around
but none Of them taken. DR.. +. G..
Lawson's pants and vest we're carried To
his barn and his gold watch and Ss5 0C
stolen. Henry Truman's and John S.
Moore's houses we're entered the same
night, but the robbers did not secure
any plunder. All four houses were On.
tered by rails windows.
The two fellows who were here trying
to do the town for advertising last week
are accused Of being the parties who
committed the robbery Mt Bronkvillc
Mr.. Dcemer thinks they are the same
chaps who blew his safe open at Iowa
Mills five years ago and that they had
walked by way Of Iowa Wednesday tt
see what the outlook would bo for an
other job there. Messors. Davis and
Harvey travel without baggage, at least
they had no baggage with them il

Surprise Party.

The members OF the Trinity Lutheran
church of this place conceived the idea
OF giving their pastor, Rev. p. w.
Metzenthin and wife, surprise dona-
tion party last Wednesday evening.
BY the assistance OF Waldemar Metzen-
thin, who manipulated the Reverend's
actions on that evening, the affair was
a complete success, both in surprising
the preacher and filling his larder with
the necessaries to sustain life. A
beautiful soft-toned clock was among
the articles left at the parsonage on
this occasion which will ever and anon
be a reminder to Rev. Metzenthin and
wife Of their frst donation party. II
was a pleasant occasion both for the
pastor and his people.

The Business Mems Carnival.

The spectacular carnival at the opera
house on Wednesday and Thursday
evenings Of last week, under the auspices
Of the Epworth League, was success
The large audience present each night
was entertained for two hours by
fifty young people representing the
business men Of Reynoldsvillc. There
were seventy-eight business places re-
presented the two nights and one
hundred young people were ON the
program, 1t would require too much
space to give all notice, and
hence we will not mention any in par
ticular. All who took part in the per-
formance did very nicely. There was
quite display of goods from the
various business houses represented.
The gross receipts of the Carnival was
about 100000. The League will have a
snug surplus for their trouble in get
ting up the entertainment.

Stretched the Truth.

A West Reynoldsville fellow who
hesitateth not to prevaricate that he
may thereby get goods without money,
worked scheme on IA Reynoldsyille
merchant one afternoon last week.
Several hours after the goods had been
carried away from the store it was dis
covered the fellow had lied, and the
merchant, whom he was trying to cheat,
drove to his home and secured all his
goods with the exception OF some
tobacco and few eggs. The false pre-
tense act will land people in the peni-
tentiary II the law is applied to their
case. t..rT ......r
