The Railroad Will be Extended.

People In a position to know give it
as their opinion that work will begin
on the extension Of the b., II. & p.
railway to Pittsburg by next fall. There
will be two tunnels to make-one near
Punxsutawney through Simpsons hill,
and one at Mosgrove, six miles from
Kittanning. This work will require
considerable time, and it will not sur
prise anybody If operations should com
mence on both these tunnels within a
few weeks.
The grade from Kittanning to Butler
will be easy. That from Punxsutaw-
ney TO Mosgrove will be rather heavy.
When this road is built, as it surely
will be, the distance by rail from PUNK
sutawney to Pittsburg will be about
eighty miles, and the b., II. & p. will
have the shortest and best route from
Pittsburg to Buffalo and Rochester.

II is a Wise Precaution.

The other day fellow dropped into
this Office "to advertise his wife" AL
though the wife aforesaid had been
earning the greater part of the living
for the family her spouse desired to tell
the public that he would not be re-
sponsible for any debts she contracted
As the lord and master was known to be
a general deadbeat he was asked to pay
IN advance. To this he demurred but
promised to pay in a day or two. He
hasn't called with the cash yet and as
we do not want to wait for our pay un-
til his wife earns the money the notice
hasn't been run. 10 Is usually wise
precaution to ask cash in advance from
the fellow who wants to advertise to
the world that he made a mistake
when he selected a wife.-DuBois Err
press.
We have learned by experience that
IL Is IA wise precaution to ask cash in
advance from the fellow who wants to
advertise to the world that he made a
mistake when he selected wife," and
we resolved some time ago that no such
advertisements would appear in the
columns OF THE STAR unless paid for in
advance. Two chaps have beat this
Office on such advertisements in the
past two years, but the third one will
never be added TO the list.

Reynoldsville Has a pessimist.

Every now and then you come in CON
tact with man who gives you pain
in your back similar To that produced
by lumbago, football and Bright's dis
ease. He is pessimist. A pessimist is
a branch Of human nature in which the
sap has pretty much soured. When "A
man objects TO anything that is bound
to help community or "A nation or a
county because Of some little feature
which strikes him as Objectionable,
which in reality is Of so small mpor-
tance that broad and well balasted
minds give IL no place, that man is the
victim Of pessimism. Pessimism is one
fourth indigestion or torpidity Of the
liver, one fourth mental purblindness,
and the rest dry rot Of the heart. From
the nature Of the disease the pessimist
has not much faith in anything. His
platform is, "Whatever is, is bad" and
he persists in standing on the platform
while the train is in motion. A man
who objects to new industry, steel
plant, cheese factory or anything else,
because the smoke from the factory
chimney will settle on his roof and in
his trees is pessimist. In few years
he will be cynic; his own teeth will be
set on edge by the acidity from his
stomach and his neighbors milk will
sour: pepsin gum will not save him
then and it will not be factory smoke"
that bothers him at that stage of the
game. Warren Democrat.
