by Clearfield & Mahoning passenger
train at railroad crossing near Dubois
about 7.l0 Friday evening and Mr.. Fraz-
ier died at the Dubois hospital between
twelve and one o'clock the same night
from injuries received. The Dubois
EGpress gives the following account Of
how the accident occurred:
Earlier in the day they had hired a
rig at Sparks livery. They were
travelling in the same direction as the
train and either did not hear or see it
or misjudged its distance or rate of
speed. They were fairly on the track
when hit. The buggy was smashed to
pieces, the horse was ground up by the
wheels and when the train was stopped
the battered body of Mr.. Frazier was
found on the pilot and his son Robert
was lying unconscious beside the track. "

Boys and girls, your uncle wants to
have plain. everyday talk with you
this week. You are fully aware, boys
and girls, that at the last examination
there seemed to have been u general
failure In arithmetic, a universal slump
in the mathematical market, so TO
speak, In which the stock declined to
a ridiculously low figure: and who was
to blame for this mathematical crash?
Ask yourselves this question and see II
you cannot trace the cause directly to
your individual selves. Many OF you
make great mistake III this way: You
go through your Arithmetic lessons In
II mechanical manner. Yon neglect to
commit to memory the principles and
rules pertaining to the several subjects.
This is II grave mistake. These rules
and principles are placed in the book
by the author as guide for you and
not for ornament, and unless you learn
each and every one Of them in a thor
ough manner you will fail every time.
Again, many Of you neglect your les
sons more or less in this way, you wait
until recitation time and then only
work the single problem assigned to
you, instead Of solving ever problem in
the lesson. Unless you work out all
the lesson you will never succeed. for
each one from first to last Is link, as
II were. which completes and holds to-
gether the chain OF the lesson, and II
but single one Of these links is left
out the chain Is separated and worse
than useless. Don't do this, boys and
girls. Wake up and have moral STAN
ina and ambition enough about you TO
say 81 will succeed" Remember, that
less than four months yet remain in
which to complete the course laid down
for your several rooms, and nothing
| but hard work will secure the coveted
promotion. How many of you passed
above the examination average the first
half? Take your books home with you
and study at night You cannot afford
to lose single hour. Let outside friv-
olties go by the board for time. You
haven't time for them. We are glad to
see you attend the religious meetings
now in progress, but these are no excuse
for neglecting school work. You can
easily find an hour between four and
seven o'clock in the evening for study:
and how much better you will enjoy
the meetings when you know that you
have done your duty relative to school
matters. Temporal and spiritual edu-
cation go hand In hand and each Is made
better by the help OF the other. Now,
boys and girls, you certainly have been
warned and advised enough and you
are old enough, the majority OF you, to
think and act for yourselves. Then
why not take advantage of the golden
opportunities given you and try your
best to so acquit yourselves as TO be an
honor to yourself, your parents, your
teacher, your school and your town.
Give up these trifing little childish
follies and fripperies and be model stu
dents. Think, work, act, and apply
yourself diligently and earnestly and
you will succeed, and in after-life will
thank those who during your school
days urged and advised you.

"Ostentation," says Lady Cook, sis
older than civilization: ancient as the
primeval savage. The desire to appear
braver, handsomer, richer, stronger,
better or worse, and SO on, than others,
or than we really are, has been q uni
versal failing from remotest times, and
ever attended with unhappy con-
sequences. The Latin 'Ostentare'
means to show often In boasting man.
ner. Anything, therefore, which is
done from vulgar pride to dazzle others,
is OF this character. And 1t would seem
as II all changes offashion prompted by
vanity are so many marks OF this fail
ing, for these are at first adopted by the
rich, and by them forsalen as soon as
they become common"

A Citizens Views Of the Legislature.

EDITOR STAR
The Pittsburg Dispatch, in a recent
issue, speaks editorially about the neces-
sity of good Legislature, affirming
"thcre are evidences that the people are
thinking. Among them are communi-
cations to the newspapers" The sug-
gestions here following may, therefore,
be AN evidence that Reyuoldsville citi-
zens deserve to be classed among
thinking people,"
Since the sensational exposures Of the
Rev. Swallow, the interest Of all intelli
gent voters Is directed towards Harris
burg, all recognizing the Importance Of
honest and competent representatives.
There are two prerogatives which must
be- cxacted from Legislators as well as
all public servants. No one will dispute
the well-known fact that In our county
are men Of irreproachable character,
but, the question arises involuntarily,
who can vouch that u transplantation
to Harrisburg soil will be safe for them
and beneficial to their constituents,
and, moreover, are they fully qualified
TO represent the people? II should be
understood, once for all, that Il public
trust Is not merely favor bestowed
upon any one willing to accept IL. Only
such men shall be made public servants
who can serve the people we'll II is Il
question also of competency. Not In
business, nor on Il farm, nor anywhere
else can every willing hand be en-
ployed. 1t would be folly to do so. OF
every applicant you ask at once: Are
you competent to do the work for which
you apply, what experience have you?
| 1t Is high time that common sense
and business principles were applied to
the governing of our great common
wealth. Many candidates could serve
their country better back of the plough
or counter, in their own shop or Office,
than in public Office. Many most excel
lent farmers or store-keepers would
make but sorry figures in Legislative
halls, neither to their own advantage,
nor to the honor of their constituents.
The spoils-system must disappear more
and more in politics. 1t is money in
the pocket of every taxpayer to have
only competent men in office.
| Again 1t is unjust to all parties con-
cerned and very foolhardy to be contin.
ually experimenting having found Il
good man, who has served acceptably
to dispose of him and elect a new man
for mere love of change. 1t is truly an
established fact that no man really
amounts to much in legislative body
until he has had good deal of expert
ence. Experience gives him confidence
and, consequently, influence and pres
tige.
Good and honest candidates for Leg.
islature are out in superabundant mum
bers, yet in the opinion OF your humble
correspondent only one man has so Gal
appeared on the political horizon t6
whom all of above criteria can mOst
satisfactorily be applied, one who ha:
very efficiently served the public IL
the past and who would, beyond ever
the shadow of doubt, again be al
honor and a source of good to his con
stituents and the public in general, the
ideal citizen and statesman, Hon. w. o
Smith. Very Respectfully,
A QUIET CITIZEN.

The Appraisers Duties.

Auditor General Mylin insists that
appraisers shall personally visit all
stores or other places of business liable
to mercantile tax, and says that no
license is to be assessed where the an
nual amount OF sales Is less than 81 900.
II dealers in liquors sell other goods
than liquors they must pay license for
the sale Of such goods. In all counties
the appraiser must furnish the county
treasurer certified list of dealers with
their classifications.
The auditor generals department will
pay no bills for mileage unless it is sat
isfied that the appraiser has in person
visited In one continuous trip every
place of business assessed. In accord
ance with recent decision of the SUI
preme court, dealers in live stock are
exempt and they must not be assessed
Butchers who sell the meat of animals
they have slaughtered are also exempt,
but those butchers who purchase cattle
already killed and sell the dressed meat
are liable to the payment OF license.
All foreign and resident dealers or firms
who have shop for the sale Of meat
apart from the slaughter house must be
taxed.
Under the opinion of the attorney
general appraisers are instructed here
after to assess all owners of restaurants,
eating houses, ETC., not selling liquors,
and provision has been made by the de-
partment for returning this class OF
licenses.
