Female beats"

A couple of "fast" females from a
nearby town have been conspicuous by
their appearance and actions on our
streets several days during the past
week. On Monday noon at about time
tho east bound passenger was due they
entered the waiting room at the A. v.
depot and went to the ticket window,
asking for tickets to Dubois. The
tickets were handed out and the pair
offered in payment for them among the
change Canada quarter, which the
agent refused to accept az twenty-five
cents. They refused to produce the
right amount or to give up the tickets
until they were informed that the
conductor would be notified that their
tickets were unpaid for and they would
be put off the train. Then they sur
rendered one OF the tickets. Soon after
the trouble at the window one Of the
pair asked young lady who entered
the waiting room for change for a
quarter, and the favor was at once
granted, she receiving the Canadian
quarter. On presenting the piece OF
money at the window she learned how
she had been victimized and at once
went to the female 'beat" from whom
she obtained it and asked to have II
redeemed This she not only refused
to do, but made an exhibition of her
small amount of brains, and the young
lady who had the quarter decided that
1t was better to lose five cents than tC
have any further conversation with
such bold specimen OF humanity.

Fell From a ScaHold.

At about noon last Thursday Major
Levi Eplcr. who is ~ years old, came
near ending his earthly existence by
falling from scaffold. He was engaged
in painting Thos. Shields house and as
he stepped on scaifold, which had been
put up for that purpose, IL gave way
and Mr.. Epler was thrown to the ground.
In falling his head struck II board split
ting the board, and giving him bump
which knocked him insensible. He al
so sustained fracture of one Of the
bones of his right forearm. Notwith-
standing Majors age, and the fact that
he has gone through both the Mexican
and Civil wars, he is still as spry as
many men Of not more than half his age.
The fall was not due to any weakness on
his part, but to the scaffold not being
securely erected.

New Telephone Regulations.

A number OF new rules have been
given to the patrons OF the telephone
company in regard TO the use Of the
phones, which will decrease the amount
OF business done by them in Reynolds
vile and surrounding towns. Accord
ing to the new regulations any patron
Of the company, or any member Of his
family, who is out Of town and wishes
to telephone to his home or place OF
business must pay extra for that
privilege, and is expected to pay the
same rental for his phone that has
been charged heretofore. The hotel
keepers are the ones who would suffer
most in case they continue the use Of
the phones. The object in having
them placed in the hotels is for the
use Of the guests, for which the
proprietors pay s36 per year. From
now on when u guest has occasion TO
talk over the wire it is charged up to
him or the proprietor of the hotel. A
number Of patrons have ordered the
phones taken out and, judging from
the way many have expressed them
selves, there will be a small telephone
exchange in Reynoldsville, at least,
unless there are some radical changes
in the action of the company.

MEMORIAL DAY OBSERVED.
The Annual Visit Paid to the Graves of
the Soldier Dead.

On account of May 3Oth, Memorial
Day, occurring on Sunday this year, Sat
urday, May Goth, was observed in
Reynoldsville rs the day for honoring
the memory Of the soldiers who have
fought their last battle here. The
tribute Of few flowers strewn on the
graves Of those who have fought for our
union is but a small return for the SER
vice they have rendered for us and fu-
ture generations, and the custom OF
laying aside the ordinary cares and duties
Of life for one day each year and visit
ing the mounds where the comrads have
been laid to rest, leaving there the to-
kens Of onr remembrance, is one which
should continue to be cherished as long
as our nation exists.
Many who would otherwise have
taken part in the usual memorial exer-
cises remained at home last Saturday on
account Of the disagreeable weather.
A cold wind and an occasional shower
made it decidedly uncomfortable to be
out and the column which marched to
Beulah cemetery at $50 A. NJ. last Sat.
urday was much smaller than is usual
on May Both at this place. First in line
was members of the different Sunday
schools, second the |. o. O. f. lodge.
followed by the Sons of Veterans. Grand
Army OF the Republic and the Woman's
Relief Corps. the latter in carriages.
For the first time the march to the cem-
etery on Decoration Day took place
without music, not even a martial band
or drum corps being in line. On arriv-
ing at the cemetery the crowd formed
in hollow square around the grave
marked by monument bearing the in
scription Unknown" and the usual ex-
ercises from the G.. A. Il. ritual were
carried out, the Sons OF Veterans firing
the salute over the grave. After deco
rating the graves OF the soldiers in Beu-
lab cemetery, detachment Of the G..
A. r. aud S. OF V. visited the Catholic,
Reynoldsville and Sandy Valley ceme-
teries in the forenoon, and Prospect
cemetery, near Rathmel, in the after
noon, firing their salute over and leav-
ing flowers upon the soldiers graves at
those places.
Each year the number OF old soldiers
grows smaller and the graves in the
cemeteries incre ase. Until few years
ago the whole exercises at the cemetery
were conducted by the G. A. r., but
now the firing squad consists of members
of the Sons of Veterans, and the time is
not so far distant when the exercise
will be wholly in charge of them.

of the place where the shooting occurred

and keg OF beer, and the shooting was
likely done by one of the number Peo-
pie living in that neighborhood heard

tion, while the other appeared to be

dered man was taken to Dubois and an
