The Courier, a narrow-gauged-shee
published at Dubois, Pa, was very
much exercised over what it claimed to
consider an attempt on the part of Fire
Co. No. /. of Reynoldsville, to hood
wink the dear public by getting crowd
to come to Reynoldsville through flake"
advertisements. On Friday morning,
July 2nd, the Courier used up almost
column of it's valuable ~ space, double
loaded, to warn the public of Reynolds
villes intention to defraud tho people.
The Courier began its wonderful
production thusly SIN the light of
duty to the public the Courier offers
some explicit statements herewith,
divested entirely of holiday bombast,
without the spirit OF rivalry and for
the defense of Legitimate public enter
prise" Hereafter it will not be
necessary to refer to George Washing
ton for an example OF truthfulness,
Just mention the Courier. To the
citizens OF Reynoldsville it was very
plain that the Courier's only object was
to keep the people away from our town
on Saturday, July 3rd, and get them to
Dubois on the 9TH and 9th. This fact
is too plain for the narrow-gauge-sheet
to explain away. In the big headings,
over the article referred to, the Courier
did not forget to state that there would
be "balloon races at Dubois Monday
and Tuesday" The Reynoldsville
people were justly indignant that the
Courier would try to lessen the crowd ut
Reynoldsville by publishing such an
article the day before our celebration,
and yet they were not much surprised,
because the paper in the past has been
on just such friendly terms with our
town when Dubois is interested In any
way This was baby trick. However,
the COurier's article had as much in
huence over the public as that paper
generally has and Reynoldsville had an
immense crowd on July 3rd. The
double loaded article was uncalled for
and Il did the Courier no good.

The newspapers of this State will
never forget the important services
rendered by William Orlando Smith,
Representative from jefferson county
in the House Of Representatives, in Sc
curing the passage of the new Libel law.
which puts newspaper men on a par
with the other citizens of the State.
Mr. Smith has served four terms in the
House with great credit, is a practical
printer, editor of the PunXsutawney
Spirit. one of the leading newspapers Of
that section of the state, and a man
who is respected everywhere for his
abilities and personal worth. Mr..
Smith is one of those quiet men who
achieved leadership, not by his own
efforts, but because he is looked up 10
by his associates. In the recent legis-
lature he was the author of the Libel
bill, its chief exponent and defender,
and though his own measure was slight
ly amended, he secured practically all
that the newspaper men of this State
want, and he is deserving of their last
ing gratitude. The State Editorial
Association made no mistake in select
ing him to champion this measure. 1t
could not have passed finally without
his quiet but earnest and effective
support. Newspaper men of Pennsyl-
vania, take off your hats to Smith OF
jefferson, an excellent editor, charm
ing gentlemen, and forceful legislator.

Gave Good satisfaction.

An appreciative audience gathered at
the Opera House last evening TO attend
the concert given by the Ohrstrom-R Rem
ard concert company, and that il was
one OF the most enjoyable events o its
kind that has taken place here for many
day seems 10 be the opinion of all who
attended. The program presented was
one that will meet with popular approx
al on all occasions and yet it was almost
entirely classical.
Miss Augusta Ohrstrom- Renard, the
dramatic soprano, is young lady who
possesses an admirable voice, reaching
the highest notes with melodious sweet
ness. She Is of Swedish birth, and GER
tainly can be most favorably compared
with the greatest sopranos.
Miss Rebecca Mckenzie, the prima don
ma soprano, has the natural ability OF "A
great singer. She has great volume and
an incompatible sweetness, which made
every number on the program a real
treat.
The entertainment was Civ under the
auspices of the Young Peoples society
connected with the Swedish Lutheran
church.

Is Murder on the Increasep

The superintendent of New York state
prisons has compiled statistics showing
that the number of executions in that
state has greatly increased since the
electrocution law took effect in 1890.
Since that time 40 executions have
taken place, while from the creation of
the state until 1890 there were but $50
hangings. This is an increase of more
than 200 per cent year.
Charles n, Baker, chief clerk in the
prison department., considers that the
increase may be ascribed to one or both
of the following causes That juries,
believing in the humanity of the present
system of execution, are more willing
to convict. and that, the place of execu-
tion being removed from the county
where the criminal is known, there is
less likelihood of applications for exec.
utive clemency. York World.

Grants Cabin Failing Into Decay.

The little log cabin in the hollow in
the park, below Girard avenue bridge,
Philadelphia, which has long attracted
attention as the one time habitation Of
General Grant, is in danger of falling
to pieces from decay. Some of the logs
on one side and in the rear of the hut
are rotting away, some have disappeared
entirely, and the surrounding grounds
have neglected and weedy look. About
eight or nine years ago the hut was re-
rooted by citizens, but since then moth
ing has been done to it, as there is no
fund for such a plrpose.
Some years ago the Grand Army Of
the Republic sought permission to re-
pair the hut, but as it was found to be
the property of the late George s.
Stuart, to whom it had been given by
General Grant, the park commission
was powerless to act. and no effort as
since been made toward its preservation
except to provide police protection.

years OF age. The funeral will be held to-
morrow afternoon with services at the

be inferred at Lake View cemetery.
On account of the numerous attrac.

probable that the proposed wrestling
contests which were to take place will be
indefinitely postponed. However, the

the matter entirely, but will make ar
eangem ents as soon as a favorable dat
can be fixed without interfering with any
other attractions. John Rowett's leg is

catcher tried to get a rope about his neck
made an attempt TO bite him. This all

wouidbe captor rolled over together
