Talk of a Poor Farm.

There seems to be some dissatisfac-
tion with the auditors report as pub
lished last week, and citizens meeting
was held in the council chambers Mon
day evening to inquire into the expend-
iture of the borough money, especially
the poor fund. Thirty-fve or forty
taxpayers attended the meeting. DR..
j. w. Foust was elected president of
the meeting and +. II. McGaw clerk.
Several hours were spent in talking the
matter over, but on account of the alb
sence of David Hartman, one of the
poor overseers, and several other rea-
sons, the meeting adjourned until
Friday evening of this week.
1t was suggested by some one that
the old school building be converted
into poor house where the INDECENT OF
the borough can be kept together, or
that an effort be made to get poor
farm in Jefferson county, as is found in
other counties, which would be great
saving to the taxpayers of the county.
The STAR suggested poor farm for
Jefferson county year or two ago.
We believe 1t would be the proper STEP
to take.

Entertainment at Murray School.

The entertainment at the close OF
the Murray school was decided sue
cess. The winter term OF school ended
on Tuesday and an entertainment was
held the same evening" but owing to
the inclemency of the weather it was
thought advisable to have it again on
Saturday evening. The school house
was full both evenings and enough
money was cleared to purchase die
tionary for the school. We would like
to make personal mention of the various
performances but space will not permit,
and it would be unfair to compliment
two or three, as all participating exc
cuted their parts In an easy and grace
full manner.
This term of school has been an un-
usually successful one and great credit
is reflected on the teacher, Miss Meta
Coax, who by her CHEEKY disposition
and wide awake theories, has won the
admiration and respect OF both parents
and pupils. OLIVE DEEMER.

called to the pastorate OF the Baptist
church. Rev. w. G.. Patterson. OF
Curwensville, was elected moderator.
The afternoon was spent in examining
the candidate in his christian ex-
perience, call to the ministry and views
of Baptist doctrine. The council was
well satisfied with the examination and
advised the church to proceed with the

Wanted to Sell a Yellow Dog.

Some of our exchanges published an
article few days ago about lady
school teacher stopping n passenger
train on the Bald Eagle Valley II. II. to
ask the conductor the time. Her watch
had stopped. Daniel Foust, conductor
on the Driftwood accommodation, had
his train tagged at Camp Run one night
some time ago-when the rain was
coming down in torrents. There were
no passengers to get Off and when Dan
stepped on to the platform there stood
man drenched. The fellow was not
making quick moves to get on the train
and just as Dan. said, "all aboard" the
man opened his mouth and said: ''Say,
mister, heard you wanted to buy a
yellow dog. Do yOu?' 1t would re-
quire several dash lines topublish Dams
answer. Some one, to get joke on
Dan, had started the story that he
wanted to buy dog, and the fellow
who faced the storm at the flag station
thought he would sell his dog, sure.

Equally as Bad.

Perhaps the most horrible example
of how bad street can become is afford
ed by glance at West Mahoning street,
Punxsutawney. 1t is villainous. For
genuine, unqualified and unexampled
awfulness it is absolutely without COM
petitors. But it is soon to be paved,
thank goodness, and its unsightliness
and impassibleness transformed into a
pretty and commodious street.-Punxsu-
tawney Spirit. We have some streets
that are equally as bad as West Mahon-
ing can be, but there is no immediate
hopes of the unsightliness being trans
formed into pretty paved streets.

The Hypnotist.

Prof. w. w. Dayton, the hypnotist,
gave two entertainments in the opera
house at this place last week-Wednes-
day and Thursday evenings. The per-
fOrmances left the impression of mystery
and doubt on the minds Of many who
attended the show. Hilton, the pho
tographer, and some Of the small boys
will remember Dayton as the man who
could make them eat raw potatoes for
apples, run their noses oyer the floor
after stick, and do other outlandish
things. Dayton's spiritualistic work
was very clever, but rs he advertised it
to be "the most crushing blow yet aimed
against the performances of the me-
diums," it is not likely that any person
in Reynoldsville thought that departed
spirits had assisted in any part OF the
