Mr.. VIM. Walpole, of Walshtown, S. D., says: "A
little blotch about the size of a pea came under my left
eye, gradually growing larger, from which shooting pains
at intervals ran in all directions. Ibecame greatly alarmed
and consulted q good doctor, who pronounced it Cancer.
and advised that it be cut out, but this ! could not con
sent to. l read in my local paper of a cure effected by
S. S. s., and decided to try it. 1t acted like a charm, the
Cancer becoming at first irritated, and then discharging
very freely. This gradually grew less and then discon-
tinued altogether, leaving a small scab which soon drop
ped off. and now only a healthy little scar remains where
what threatened to destroy my life once held full sway"

Cyrus Heard From.

EDITOR STAR:-The communication
under the head OF High School Bulle-
tin" with regard to the three "little
boys" and their magic lanterns in the
high school building, needs some tri-
fling corrections to make its appearance
anywhere near the semblance Of truth.
lst. The three little boys did not
take their lanterns to the room to COM
pare their respective merits.
End. There was no lively bout.
3rd. Cyrus was nowhere near the Ian
terms when the loose connection flew
open on Georgie's lantern.
4th. Simon did not run, but, on the
contrary. stood his ground.
9Th. The flame was large enough to
scorch flea. Had the flame been
smaller and the pressure less, there
might have been very dangerous ex-
plOsion. CYRUS.

The "Courier" Is Previous.

Yesterday morning the Dubois Co,u-
ier proclaimed in big head lines that
the large window glass factory of Fitz-
patrick & Co., of New York, would
locate at Falls Creek. AS is very fire.
quently the case, the Courier was pre-
vious with this announcement, and
made it without authority. The loca-
tion Of the glass plant has not been
decided upon by the capitalists who will
build the plant, at least so we were in
formed by Mr.. Fitzpatrick while he
was in Reynoldsville yesterday.
Mr.. Fitzpatrick is very favorably inn
pressed with the location offered him
here, and the excellent sand stone in
abundance in close proximity to the To-
cation. All things considered Fitzpat-
rick IL Co. will find it greatly to their
advantage, in the long run, to locate in
Reynoldsville.

Brookville's New Railroad.

Brookvillc, without doubt, will get
new railroad the coming summer
Engineer corps are now surveying the
route for the proposed road, which is to
make an outlet for the large coal field
that is to be opened within four or FIVE
miles of Brookville. A month ago we
had reliable information concerning the
large coal deal and new railroad but by
special request we made no mention Of
1t. The opening Of the coal near the
county seat. and another railroad into
the town, means Il boom for Brookville,
which, doubtless, will be somewhat OF
an annoyance to some OF the quiet old
citizens OF that staid old town.
New York capitalists are to furnish
the money to operate the new coal
fields aud build the new railroad. The
same syndicate has purchased the
Shawmut Coal Company plant in Elk
county anu have also bought the Bufra-
10, st. Marys & Southwestern Railroad,
and this is the railroad that is to be
extended to the Brookville coal fields
The officers OF the operation are as
follows: President, John Byrne, cap
italist of New Work City; Henry Mar
quand Of the New York banking firm
of Henry Marquand & Co.. lst vice.
president; B. Frank Hall, of St. Marys,
second vice-president; Harry NJ Cough,

Ridgway, secretary; Major Harry Alvan
Hall, of Ridgway, general counsel; b.
f. Cartwright, Of Ridgway, general
manager: b. T.. Wellendorf, of st.
Marys, general superintendent: l.. p.
Snyder, general freight agent; II. S.
Hastings, OF Now York, auditor and
assistant treasurer.
TIE citizens OF Brookville can thank
G. c. Benscoter, Esq, of that town. and
Mr.. George Mellinger, OF Reynodsville,
for the new railroad and opening Of the
large coal field near that town. These
gentlemen have been working quietly
for sometime to bring about the big
deal. Mr.. Benscoter secured the coal
leases and Mr.. Mellinger got the capi-
talists interested and made the sale.
These two gentlemen were not devoting
their time TO this business for the "fun
of it, They will each one receive what
many people would consider small
fortune out Of the deal.

Found in a Birds Nest.

An employee at the tannery had
s2l00 stolen out Of his pocket at his
boarding house one night recently
while he was sleeping. He made known
his loss, but OF course no one at the
boarding house knew how it had dis
appeared. When it began to get "warm"
about the disappearance of the money,
another employee at the tannery, who
boarded at the same place, laid
of half day to look for the money,
which he claims he found in birds nest
in one of the bark piles. He said he had
noticed light at this bark pile two or
three nights and it impressed him so
that he went there to look for the stolen
money. The man who found the money
wanted to keep $500 for finding it, but
when threatened with arrest II 1t was
not all paid to the rightful owner, the
money was all returned.

All partitions separating the wrecked
part OF the mill have been removed.

have been returned to their former
places.
A new 60-lamp dynamo has been set
in place to answer special purpose.
A new large wheel pulley has been
added to the central power, and speed
increased on every loom and machinery.

Patterson, has arrived at the mill to
take charge of section of looms.
Hermann Planten, of New York, has
come to assume charge of the quilting
department.
Emil Schultz, Williamsport twister,

been ordered for the shipment Of the
handsome tissue.
The number Of looms running is now
2S5, and 275 persons are now employed
at the silk mill.

from Mrs. Frannie Beck. an old widow
