Last Friday when the new school
building was thrown open to the public
for inspection a large crowd entered
the building. The assembly room was
jammed part of the time, which afford
ed pickpockets a good opportunity to
get in their work, which was taken
advantage Of by some young men. The
supposition is that the thieves belong
to our own town. Three pocket books
and purse were stolen and rihed of all
ready cash therein and then wrapped
in newspaper and placed in a conspic-
uous place in the shed adjoining the
Reynoldsyille Hardware Co. store.
The pocket books were given to Detec-
tive Adelsperger. The three books
had notes in so there was no difficulty
in finding owners for them, but the
purse had nothing in it to show to
whom il belonged and 1t is still in Mr..
Adelsperger's possession. Following
are the names Of victims known and
amounts taken: Mrs. Thos. Spears over
$500; Mrs. Lucy wagner about *2.OO;
w. T. Gathers about 81. 90. Mr.. Gathers
says when he entered the assembly
room there were some young men near
the door apparently tussling with one
another and who crowded around him
and pushed him out of the room, but as
he thought they were having some fun
among themselves he paid no attention
to them. After he left the assembly
room he missed his pocketbook. Mrs.
Spears was jostled around among some
young men near the entrance of the
assembly room and at the time thought
them very rude. 1t is evident that the
young men who did the iostling picked
pockets at the same time.

Following Is some of the business
transacted by the school board of this
borough at meeting held Monday
evening: 1t was decided to build board
sidewalks on the Main and Grant street
sides of the school house. To buy win
dow blinds for the school building. To
furnish chairs and tables for room No.

the rooms. Speaking tubes to be put

meet with superintendent office. The

placed at 500 per month. II the
school becomes crowded at any time,
resident pupils are to have preference
over nonresident pupils, and pupils OF

The above is picture Of the new
principal of our borough schools, which
were opened for the fall and winter
term last week with bright prospects of
very successful term. Prof. Lcnkerd
has shown evidence, so far, Of being Il
live and progressive young man. He
devotes about three hours each day
in hearing the senior class in the high
school recite. The remainder of the
time he devo;cs in looking after tardy
and delinquent pupils and visiting the
rooms of the school. Heretofore all the
principals of our school have been
requested to look after the in
terests Of the school and at the same
time teach the pupils of the highest
room. II is evident that our school
board has awakened to the fact
that the principal cannot do the
work expected Of him in looking after
twelve rooms and Mt the same time be
compelled to teach one Of the rooms,
and in all probability Prof. Weaver,
the supply teacher, will be kept where
he now is, in room No. 13, and Prof.
Madden will have charge of the junior
and sub-junior classes in room No. II,
or the high school. This is the first
term that twelve school rooms in one
building have ever been run in Reyn-
oldsville, and II is also the first term
for the high school. This term marks
new era in the schools of Reynolds

II Was Not a Fake f"

Some of the visitors who were in
Reynoldsvlle Friday to be present at
the dedication of the new school build
ing, and even some of our own towns
people, seemed to be of the opinion that
the statement that Gov. Hastings would
be here was only fake" to get
large crowd to town that day. The
announcement that the governor would
be here, had been made In good faith,
as he had given his word to be present
II possible, and the committee heard
nothing to the contrary until tele-
gram, which will be found in another
column OF this issue, was received about
one o'clock Friday afternoon. Prof.
Lenkerd received three or four letters
from Gov. Hastings. We publish one,
which is sufficient to show that the an
nouncement of the Governors coming
was not scheme to deceive the public:
HARRISBURG. August 20, 1896.
Mr.. LENKERD,
My DEAR SIR:-Unless something
unforeseen takes place | will be with
you on the 4th of September. expect

campaign there on the End, but will be
with you unless something unforeseen
prevents. do not want you to count
on me too surely. because on long trip
from Chicago to Reynoldsville, some
thing may turn up, and you better have
another speaker on hand in case of an
emergency.

ment | have been compelled to cancel

The above postscript would indicate
that Gov. Hastings was very anxious to
get to Reynoldsville Sept. 4th, and
might have been accepted in good faith
by our people had he not gone to De-
troit, Mich, to make political speech
Sept. 3rd. The people of this place are

JACKSON, Miss, Feb. 2S.-The
Clarion-Ledger prints the following let
ter from Hon. w. C. Whitney, of New
York: New York, Feb. 25, 1sss.-To
the Editor of the Clarion-Ledger-S
From recent issues OF your paper sent
me by some friend learn that w. S.
McAllisier has been circulating in your
city among prominent Democrats q pc
tition requesting me to become a can
didate for the presidential nomination
of the Democratic party. In course of
the controversy which naturally arose
from such effort on his part he speaks
of himself as one of the principal man.
ayers of the Whitney movement in this
state (Mississippi.) If similar proceed
ings were taken and similar words en-
ployed with regard to another person,
l should assume that he was aware of
what was being done. 1 therefore de-
sire to disclaim any knowledge of any
mean, and 1 request any friend of
mine not to join it. 1t is doubtless in
tended in friendly spirit, but has not
my approval or concurrence.
From the same source of information
/ learn. that some persons have be-
lieved me a supporter of the view that
the United States should open its
mints to the free coinage of silver at
16 to / independently of the co-opera-
ton and action of other nations and in
that belief have been led into a false
position as regards their own prin-
ciples. Under these circumstances,
ought to say that 1 do not believe in
that theory of finance, but consider 1T
unsound, and if adopted, likely to lead
to most evil consequences to our peo-
pie and their industries and prosper
ity. 1t is in my opinion, fundamentally
WRONG AND VICIOUS.
'I am believer in gold and silver
as the metallic basis of values and or
the worlds currency, and l am con-
fident that within time not far dis
tant there will be concurrence of
the nations upon that subject, by
which the ratios of values of the two
metals for the coinage and currency
purposes will be cfxeI, and the stabil--
ity of such values maintained by an
international agreement. l am aware
this view is looked upon as financial
heresy by some and as visionary by
others. But such persons must be
themselves ignorant of the latest devel-
opments Of scientific thought upon this
subject, and the rapid advancement
this view is making where heretofore
it has had little support.
"Uutil that occurs. I believe any ac-
ton by the United States would be dis
astrous to US, would bring general
ruin to our present prosperity and
would hinder the true and final solu-
ton of the problem.
"These opinions I do not entertain
nor express as a candidate for the pres
idency for which office I have already
said I would not be q candidate), but
in order that your people who have
views differing from those may not be
deceived as to mine
