Capt. Basst II died. For fifty years he
had been employed at the Senate. He
was appointed page by Daniel Webster
and saw continuous service from that time
till his death. At the time of his appoint
mcnt it was the custom of the Senators,
and, for that matter, most other men, to
use snuff. For this purpose great snuff

habit. At his death the public snuff box
was abolished.

Martin Hetrick Has Flopped.

Martin l.. Hetrick, the nmberman of
Washington township, who has been a
lifelong Democrat, has Hoped to the
Republican ranks. The reason given
to Notary Public Albert Reynolds, from
whom we got our information, for the
change in his politics is that he, Mar
tin, aspired to the supervisorship OF his
township and intended to be candi-
date for the Office at the Democratic
caucus, but 10, and behold, the caucus
was held without giving him due notice
OF it, and Of course he did not get the
nomination. Martin says that he has
not Topped alone, but will take forty
good Democrats with him. He says he
may vote for Democrat president or a
county officer sometime, but he will
never vote for Democrat In his own
township again No, never.

Quick Consumption Did It.

George McClelland Reed, OF Emerick-
vile, son-in-law Of William M. Moore
of the same place, died Wednesday
night, February 3rd, aged about thirty
one years. Funeral services were held
In the Emerickville M. T.. church at
1000 A. M. Friday, conducted by Rev.
J. G. Harshaw. Interment took place
in the M. E. cemetery. Mr.. Reed was
a member of the Lutheran church.
About the middle of last December he
was taken down with typhoid fever and
that was superseded by quick consump-
tion, which ended his earthly career.
Three or four years ago Reed was
married to Mrs. VIM. Shaffer, whose
maiden name was Sadie Moore, whom
the ruthless hand Of death has the
second time compelled to wear the
weeds of mourning. Two children
were born to the first husband and one
to the second, leaving Mrs. Reed with
three children.

Lecture Friday Night.

DR.. Robert Nourse, Of Washington,
d. c., the noted lecturer, delivered his
celebrated lecture, "Dr. Jekyll and Mr..
Hyde" to large and very appreciative
audience in Assembly Hall last Friday
evening. The evening was disagree
able, both overhead and under foot, yet
the people climbed the hill to the school
building to hear the lecture. Had IL
been a church service many Of the
people would not have risked their
precious necks by climbing that ice
covered hill, but lecture is different.
And they all had bought their tickets
beforehand, ''you know"
DR.. Nourse is certainly q brilliant
and witty lecturer. He is intensely
dramatic.
Dasie Litzinger, Of Dubois, six-year-
old girl, delighted the audience with two
recitations before the lecturer Of the
evening took the platform.
The public school orchestra entertain
ed the audience in the early part Of the
evening by rendering some fine
selections, such as "King Carnival
March," Two Step, "Gallant Knights"
Waltz, poverty Row." &c.

About Electric Light.

For the information OF those who do
not fully understand the Importance of
an electric light plant for Reynoldsville,
let me state that such plant will have
a monthly pay roll Of at least six hun
dred dollars. 1t will consume at least
81 800 and likely $1,000 worth of coal
per annum, nice thing alone for our
country coal banks. Not one dollar is
asked Of the borough for the establish
ment of this plant. The stock will be
subscribed and paid for by few Of the
citizens of the town. All that is asked
of the people in general is fair patron
age, and OF course street lighting con-
stitutes part OF that, and 1t will not in
crease the taxes over two mills. A few
enterprises such as the one proposed
here will greatly increase the prosper
ity Of the place as well as the value Of
real estate. Bear in mind that this is
entirely home enterprise, backed by
home capital, proposing to give employ
ment to American citizens, and should
receive the united support Of every
voter in the borough Of Reynoldsville.

Convicted While Dying.

Joseph Breth, Of IaJose, Clearfield
county, aged sixty-seven years, who
was on trial at Clearfield for embezzle-
ment, committed suicide in jail last
week by taking dose OF laudanum
Tuesday night and died Wednesday
evening. Mr.. Breth had been appointed
guardian for two boys and had two
Thousand dollars of their money in his
possession. He used the money and
when it was demanded several months
ago was unable to raise the amount and
was arrested for embeZzlement. He
testified In the case Tuesday and said
that he had used the money with his
own, thinking he would have no trouble
in replacing it, and disclaimed any in
tention OF dishonesty. The Clearfield
Spirit, in giving an account ct the case
says:
"Although the defendent, was lying
at the point OF death Wednesday, by
consent OF counsel the trial Of the case
was proceeded with and after hearing
the evidence and argument OF the
attorneys, Judge Gordon ordered the
jury to withdraw from the box until
the condition of the prisoner was known,
but just at this time telegram arrived
announcing the death in Indiana county
of tho father of Squire J. S. McCreery
one OF the iurymen, and the jury wa
ordered to their room to decide on theil
verdict in order that Mr.. McCreery
could be excused, and they returned il
a very few minutes with a verdict o
guilty"

Burglars Get in Their Work.

Three places of business in West
Reynoldsville, d. B. Stauffer's grocery,
Amos Reitz's meat shop and the Ross
House barroom, were burglarized last
Friday night. The thieves did not
secure much money for their trouble,
and money seemed to be the only thing
they were after. AT all three places
the robbers gained an entrance through
the front door. Some kind of tool
was used to pry the door open. At the
Ross House the robbers secured between
$l7 90 and $500 and quart OF whiskey.
The money drawer was carried to the
vacant lot back of the A. V. R'y
passenger station, where 1t was found
Saturday morning. At the meat shop
the money drawer was prled off the
counter and one hundred and fifty
pennies secured. At Stauffers grocery
the robbers got about forty pennies out
of the money drawer, but did not take
anything else, at least nothing else was
missed,
Friday was pay day at the tannery
and 1t is likely the thieves thought
they had selected good night to d.
the job,
