.Whizzerl"

The Reynoldsville Woolen Co. added
one more new machine last week to
their already we'll equipped mill.
Hydro-Extractor is the name of the
new machine and it makes four hundred
revolutions in a minute. Because of its
wonderful velocity the machine has re-
ceived new name since set up and is
now called a ''whizzer." Heretofore all
flannel manufactured at the mill in
this place had to be hung up with the
water dripping of of it and it took the
cloth sometime to dry, but the new
"whizzer" jerks the flannel around so
rapidly that the water can not stick
on and consequently drying cloth at
the woolen mill in Reynoldsville is now
very small matter.

Tax Collector w. T. Cox had thrill
ing experience with some Polanders
last Friday morning In attempting TO
collect s2i.sl charged up against one
who hss hen a resident OF Jackson
street for sometime. About two
months ago the man left Reynoldsville
TO hunt work and located at Mononga-
bela City. After finding job there
the Polander sent for his family to
move to that place and on Friday
morning Dan. Whitaker was hired to
haul the goods to the depot. On learn
ing that they intended to leave without
paying their taxes, MIR. Cox proceeded
to levy on their goods and prevent them
from leaving Reynoldsvile until some
provision was made for the payment of
the same. At last it was agreed that
the family should sign a contract allow
ing Mr.. Cox TO rent their property and
apply the rent on the tax until the
amount should all be paid. After
having the contract drawn up, our tax
collector proceeded to the house to
have it properly signed, accompanied
by Mr.. Whitaker. A number of
Polish men and women were present to
assist in the moving, and soon after the
arrival Of our American citizens one of
the men took down revolver from a
shelf and started towards them. He
was intercepted by some of his country
men and, in the scuflle WHICH ensued, the
revolver was accidentally discharged.
AS the tax collector and drayman were
unarmed they did not wait for more,
but started down street at lively gait.
The man with the gun got as far as the
porch, but on account of the men and
women hanging to him he was unable
to use the weapon.
Mr.. Cox went to his store, got his
revolver and a few citizens to accompany
him, went back to the Polander's' and
proceeded to remove their goods with
out further resistance. An attempt
was made to find out who IL was that
did the shooting, but, according to their
story, he was a stranger and had
already disappeared. No one knew his
name. When the revolver, a32-caliber,
was discharged the ball struck the
pocket of Polander passed through
some books and papers and made a hole
through his clothing. On reaching his
hide the bullet made black spot, but
the skin was too tough for the bullet to
penetrate. Mr.. Cox does not intend to
give up collecting tax from that class of
people, but expects to be better prepar-
ed for that kind of work in the future.

A Few Don'ts.

Don't fail TO vote on the 18th, and
when you do be sure you vote right.
Don't preach what you do not prac-
tice. A hypocrite is despicabe
object.
Don't be sarcastic. II doesn't do you
any good and may hurt some persons
feelings.
Don't run down your own town. II
you don't like it there is no compulsion
about staying.
Don't always look on the dark side of
life. Remember the darkest hour is
just before the dawn.
Don't think you know it all. There
are about 1,25O, ,OOO,999 people in the
world besides yourself.
Don't speak i'll of your neighbor. II
you can't say something good say moth
ing. Remember the golden rule.
Don't borrow your local newspaper.
You can elevate yourself in your own
as well as the editors esteem by sub
scriblng, and it only costs you two cents
week.
Don't attempt to live at thousand
dollar gait on five hundred dollar
salary. II you do you are bound to
cheat some person and cheating is equiv
alent to stealing.
Don't put off until tomorrow what
you should by all means do to-day
In the uncertainty of life and the i'm
mutability of human affairs there may
be no tomorrow for you.
Don't attempt to drink all the whiskey
and beer in existence in order to keep
it out of the reach OF others. The
facilities for production are probably
larger than you imagine.

proven himself friend to the miners
and working class and has never been
known TO turn deaf ear to worthy
poor man when he appealed to him for
sympathy or aid, in sickness or In
trouble, and we are only too glad that
an opportunity is afforded us whereby
we are enabled to show him our graft
tude for all the many kind deeds he has
bestowed upon us In past years and at
present" Mr.. Neff is a gentleman in
every sense of the word, and ''jolly
good fellow" to, and he has never been
seen by any one standing around the
corners using profane and rough
language, as we have seen and heard
some ''jolly good fellows" do. There is
nothing that adorns man 80 beautifully
as the garb Of truth under all circum-
stances. Mr.. Neff is hustler and a
hard worker, but he has never been
heard to say any unkind words of those
who are candidates with him for the
Office of sheriff, and his friends admire,
and appreciate him too for the honest
and straight course he is taking In this
canvass. The ability of Mr.. Neff for
the Office of sheriff is recognized by all
who know him, and on February 18th
we will give proof Of the confidence we
have placed in the gentleman by giving
him our vote. -

Tramps Temporary Home.

For many years 1t has been no un-
common thing TO find the beautiful and
appropriate motto, ''God Bless Our
Home" hanging in some conspicuous
place upon the walls Of well regulated
and some not so well regulated
homes in our land, but the last place
any one would expect to see the old
motto would be over the opening into
a coke oven, yet people who have passed
by the long row Of coke ovens east of
Worth street the past week, could see
just such a sight. Two old tramps, who
served their country well in time of
peril and are now drawing pensions for
service rendered, "struck" this town q
few days ago in their meanderings, and
having no where to lay their heads,
they were attracted by the lights from
the well patronized lodging place of
such tourists,-the coke ovens-and
hither they hied. Fortune seemed to
favor them, for three or four of the ovens
were empty. They selected an oven
that was near enough to one that was
fred up so the oven would be nice and
warm and they cleaned all the ashes
and dirt out of it and then got old
papers and fixed up the interior of the
oven as snug as possible, and pitched
their tents to sojourn there until they
got tired or the company ousted them.
The wags got big card and wrote in
large letters upon it, God Bless Our
Home" and hung the card, with the
motto outside, over the opening in the
oven to answer as a door. One Of the
tramps. we understand drew his quart
erIy pension money since he came to
Reynoldsville, so what the eX-soldiers
cannot beg they buy. They make their
coffee over one of the neighboring ovens
and have things very comfortable-for
tramps.
