"Held Up" on a Main St.

One night last week Jacob Bitters, n
young man of West Reynoldsville, was
SHIELD up" near the A. V. R'y station by
three men at midnight. The highway
men had smothered out the gas light in
front of the Ross House, which left
that section of the town where Bitters
was stopped in darkness. One of the
bold, bad men caught Bitters and
another one pointed a revolved at his
head and demanded his money and
what ever valuables he had about him.
Jacob had neither money nor anything
else that the robbers wanted, but he
did make use Of his voice, and man
named Kunselman, who was on the
bridge on his way to West Reynoldsville,
answered and the robbers left In a
hurry. Bitters and Kunselman came
back to this borough and got Night
Watchman Adelsperger and all three
went to look for the highwaymen, but
they could not be found.

"The celebrated Swedish Male Quar-
tette, whose leader, Mr.. Lutterman,
has, together with his companions, sew
eral times before given concerts here
with great success, has again set out
for long concert tour, and from here
goes to Holland. Last Tuesday the
Swedish gentleman sang in The Ton
kuenstler-Verein' In this city and OBJ
tained, through the freshness and
beauty of their voices as we'll as through
their exact singing, an extraordinary
success. II is to be hoped that these
gentlemen will, on their return, let us
hear their charming songs once again"

Political Toke.

Ed. McCreight, son of Thos Nc
Creight of Paradise, was in Reynolds
vile Thursday afternoon to get election
news and when ready to go home his
greyhound had strayed away from the
horse and buggy and Ed. started Off
without the canine. He had hardly
got out of sight before the dog was
looking for him at store where Ed.
does most OF his loafing. The proprie-
tor OF the store, knowing that Ed. had
to drive to Rathmel before going home,
caught the dog and tied shipping tag
around its neck on which was written a
notice giving the Pittsburg Commercial
Gazette credit with conceding Bryan's
election. The other side OF the tag
gave the Commercial credit for the
statement that Bryan had 81 more
electoral votes than Mckinley. The
dog got home half hour before Ed.
did, and report sayeth that Mr.. Nc.
Creight, who is Mckinley man, was
somewhat worked up over the message
carried by the dog when his son arrived
home.

Two Bad Boys.

There are number of very bad boys
in this town who should be looked after
carefully by their parents, but there
are two bad boys running our streets
during the day and sleeping wherever
they can find shelter at night, who
have no parents to look after them, that
should be brought up before the Court
of the county and be sentenced to a
term in the institutions established for
just such boys. The way the boys are
now living is only preparing them for
worthless lives. If they were taken
care of few years there might be
some hopes for them.
