Good Show.

Hi Henry's Minstrels, which appeared
at the Reynolds opera house on Monday
night, was the largest and best show
that has been in Reynoldsville for some
time. The opera house was far too small
to accommodate the crowd which the
company attracted. The troop came to
this place over the II. & F. c. R'y in
Hi Henry's special car, "The Clipper"
which is a first-class hotel, business
office, etc., on wheels. A representative

car, and was taken through by ]. Albert
Gates, who was very courteous and
obliging, and is gentleman in every

Dogs Until You Can't Rest.

We make the assertion, without fear
OF contradition, that there is no town
upon the globe that has as many dogs
to the square inch as are found within
the limits of this borough. And about
nine out of every ten are worthless,
yelping CANNES. Reynoldsville is a
delightful place to dwell in, but in two
things at least our fair city falls below
the heavenly city spoken of in the
scriptures, for in Revelation, in refer
ring to the Holy City, John, says:
without are dogs, &C., and whosoever
loveth and maketh lie." About2. .3OA A.
M. last Saturday three hundred dogs,
more or less, assembled on the corner
OF Grant and FIFTH streets and then up
and down Grant they ran, each one
trying its best to out do the others In
yelping, bowling, barking and growing.
1t was the ''dogest" pandemonium ever
heard. Wewere wishing that every last
one of the bowling mob would be
presented with one pound Of lead from
the muzzle Of a good gun, and fifty
other citizens wished the same gift.
The tax on dog factories should be
raised to ten dollars, and strictly en-
forced for few years, 10 that the town
would not be oyerrun with dogs.

Lost Her Suit for Damage.

In October. 1892. Miss Ella +. Seeley.
the artist, daughter of Ed. D. Seeley of
this place, was injured In Penn
Avenue street car in Pittsburg. Miss
Seeley suffered considerably from the
injuries received and had to undergo a
surgical operation Mt the Pittsburg
Mercy Hospital in 1894 as result of
the accident. She sued the Citizens
Traction Company for $25, 900 damages
and the case was tried before Judge
McClung in Pittsburg last week and
the court, against its will, had to rule
In favor of the company, because after
the accident, Samuel Bowden, repre-
sentative OF the street car company
called on Miss Sceley and paid her s25
to sign papers releasing the company
from all liabilities for any injuries she
might have received, and this release
was given as testimony against Miss
Seeley's claim for damages.
When on the witness stand Miss
Seeley gave this explanation of the
release:
"Six days after the accident, when
she was confined to bed, Bowden came
to her house. When he explained that
he was from the Traction company to
see her in relation to the accident, he
was shown to her room. He then pro-
duced paper he said he wanted her to
sign. Miss Seeley was suffering greatly
from pain and her condition made 1t
impossible for her to read. Bowden
said he would read the paper to her
and did so, or pretended to. AS read
by him II was release of the company
from claim for damage for the
destruction OF Miss Seeley's clothing,
which had been ruined when she was
trampled on In the car, and for the
injury to her ankle. Miss Seeley signed
the paper and Bowden then handed her
s25 TO make good the loss Of her clothing.
She had no intimation it was a release
OF the company from all liability for
any injury she might have received"
A motion will be made for new trial
on the ground that the signature to the
release was obtained by fraud and Is not
binding.
The large display lines in the heading
over the article as 1t appeared in the
Pittsburg Dispatch last Thursday, read
as follows: "They won by a trick.
Citizens Traction Company's escape
from liability for damages is charged to
crooked work. Queer method to beat
an injured Woman"

A Suggestion.

During the past few months number
of home talent entertainments have
been given in Reynoldsville. and have
been well patronized by our people.
Most of them have been given under
the auspices Of the different churches
and church societies and it has been
clearly shown that Reynoldsville has
some good talent. A number of our
leading citizens have suggested that it
would be wise plan to appoint COM
mittee from all the different churches
to select some of the best talent ex-
hibited in the entertainments of the
past few weeks and arrange for an
entertainment to be given for the
benefit of the poor In our midst. There
are many living in Reynoldsville who
are not provided with the neces-
stiles of life, and we believe an enter
tainment such as suggested, would be
well patronized, not only because OF the
object for which 1t would be given, but
also because it would be we'll worth
attending for its own merit

habits, is very popular, and has IA wide
acquaintance in Jefferson county. He
cast his first vote while in camp in
1864 for Abraham Lincoln. He has al
ways been stalwart republican, never
wavering from his duty to his country
and his party, and has been an ardent
worker for the republican party ever
since his return from the army in July,
1865. He has been a resident of Reyn-
oldsville ever since November, 1872.
He served Us constable from May, 1873,
until March, 1877, at which time he had
been elected justice of the peace, and
was reelected in 1882, and elected
again in 1892 by receiving majority
over his opponent of one hundred and
nine votes, the largest majority that
was ever polled by any candidate in
said borough for justice OF the peace up
until that time. This shows the stand
ing OF this gentleman in the town In
which he has been resident for over
23 years. The republicans Of Jefferson
county will make no mistake by giving
Mr.. Netf the nomination for sheriff ut
