Professional Crooks.

There Is little doubt but that there
were two professional crooks in Reyn-
oldsvile on Tuesday night Of last week,
and their business here was to rob the
postoffice or some business house.
About eleven o'clock that night Night
watchman Adelsperger saw two men
turn the corner at the Seeley, Alexander
& CO. bank and 60 down Fifth street and
suddenly disappear. About one o'clock
two well dressed men went into the
restaurant next to postoffice and called
for cup OF coffee, the restaurant was
open later than usual because there was
a dance In one Of the halls. The men
asked the proprietor how long he would
keep open, and as he was suspicious Of
the chaps, informed them that he would
keep open all night, When they left
the restaurant and started down street
Adelsperger got on their track and they
walked down towards the bridge and
stationed themselves at dark corner.
Adelsperger quietly waited for them to
move on, but IL is evident that they
knew he was watching them and they
did not move. Adelsperger would have
arrested them as suspicious characters
II he could have had assistance, but as
1t was he went up to them and told them
they would have to get Off the street.
They knew Mr.. Adlesperger and called
him Frank as familiarly as il they had
known him for years. The two men,
knowing their game was up, went to
Hotel Belnap, registered and went to
bed. Early in the morning they skip
ped out.

x-Rays Located the Trouble.

About Il year ago w. J. Hutchison, OF
this place. fell from the roof of barn,
on which he was working. in Beech
woods and split his left ankle bone. He
suffered almost constant pain from the
ankle and could not walk without con
siderable distress. Two weeks ago Mr..
Hutchison. accompanied by his brother
Thomas. of Brockwayville, went to
Buffalo, n. y, to see If there was any
relief for him. The X-rays were turned
on to Mr.. Hutchison's ankle and the
trouble was located, which was found to
be a bony growth from the fracture
pressing against the nerves. This was
removed by an operation and the
surgeons assured Mr.. Hutchison that
after he recovered from the operation
that he will be as well as ever.

Smiths Apology.

We have received a number Of pro-
tests from Reynoldsvile against some
matter written by our Reynoldsville
correspondent relative to the public
schools in that town. So far as the
Spirit Is concerned IL has no personal
knowledge of the merits Of the case,
and no acquaintance with the principal
Of the schools. who has been vindicated
by a reelection with an increase Of
salary. II is the policy Of this paper to
refrain from cr,icising anybody except
ing for the public good and to admit
nothing to It's columns that is not proper
for public information. We assume
that our correspondent had no other
motive than what he conceived to be
the good of the schools In his criticisms,
but since his Judgment has been over
ruled by the school board, and the
teacher complained OF rc-cmploycd ut
an increased salary, we are bound to
conclude that our correspondents
position on the question, however
sincere, has not been sustained, and that
it is now the duty of everybody In that
community to cooperate with the school
board and the principal to make the
schools success. Although we have
the fullest confidence in the intelligence
and discernment Of our talented cores
pondent at Reynoldsville, we are frank
to say that, had we been at home when
the last communication was received
relative to this matter we would not
have admitted it to our columns. We
trust now that all good citizens Of
Reynoldsvile will unite to make the
next term of school brilliant success.

to nominate Mr.. Cooper at the primary

Cooper was tax collector for Reynolds

creditably, and we feel positive he
would be good selection for the Demo
Gratis to make for jury commissioner,
besides, if long, faithful services to a
party counts for anything, he is entitled
to the nomination, and doubtless will
get it.
The Brockwayvile Record, In speak
ing of Mr.. Cooper's candidacy, says:
"Mr. Cooper is not only capable man
for the position, but he is held in such
high esteem by his Reynodsville
neighbors that he was chosen tax
collector for that borough without
opposition. In fact-he being Demo-
crat--was nominated by the Republican
caucas. He was former citizen Of
Beechwoods, and is man OF sterling
worth and integrity in every respect
and would fill any county Office credit
