Dwellings at Glass Plant.

The Reynoldsville Hardware Com
pany, H. Alex. Stoke, Levi Scbugars
and Arthur O'Donnell, sr., will build
fifteen dwelling houses in partnership
on the Star Glass Company's ground.
We understand that DR.. ]. w. Foust
and several other persons, whose names
we did not learn, will build one or two
houses apiece on the companys land,
the company, however, is to deed the
lots to the persons who build on them.
When the glass plant starts up there
will be a great demand for dwelling
houses and the company is not in a
position to build houses now, and hence,
they have made the above proposition,
which is being taken up by some of our
capitalists.

Dubois Shut Out,

The Dubois and Punxsutawney ball
teams have been playing series of
games this season and "Rube" Waddell,
National League pitcher, was in the
box for the Punxsy team n few games,
which the Dubois papers made no kick
about until Monday of this week, when
the morning sheet said: "It is altogeth-
er probable that Punxsutawney and Du-
Bois will play no more baseball together
this season unless Punxsutawney should
agree to use no more National League
pitchers" The cause of this howl Mon
day was because the Dubois team was
shut out entirely Saturday and the PUNK
sy boys had nine scores to their credit.
For Punxsy to win two games in sue
cession was too much for the town with
a team OF imported hired players and
now they will not play ball with Punxsy
unless that town promises not to get
better players than Dubois can hire.

Balloon Didn't Go Up.

Welsh Bros. circus visited Reynolds
vile Friday, and from those who at
tended we learn that the circus was a
good one for the price-l0 and 20 cents
but the show was not what 1t was
advertised to be. The one hundred
trained animals failed to materialize
and the balloon failed to go up. The
excuse was that the man who gets the
balloon ready for the ascension was not
here and Prof. Carl Bryan, the aero
naut, refused to go up, consequently
that part of the show was not given.
The arenic and vaudeville part of the
show was good

Great Year for Apples.

Secretary of Agriculture Martin. 1--WE

year." continued Mr.. Martin. twill be
the apple crop, for which this state Is
justly celebrated. Reports from all the
apple growing counties, and there are a
great many Of them, show that the
trees will bear unusually heavy this
season. The wheat crop will be a very
poor one this year. In some OF the
wheat growing counties in this part Of
the state the farmers will not take the
trouble to harvest the grain, which is
almost worthless. Two causes contrib
ute to the failure Of the crop, one being
the cold spring and the wheat fly. You
can pass through fields in Cumberland,
Lancaster, Adams and other counties in
this section of the state and the devas-
tation of the fly will be apparent to even
the most casual observer

Dog Show.

Prof. Sam Stricklin, of Bellaire, Ohio,
arrived in town Saturday morning with
fifteen trained dogs and gave free dog
show on Main street Saturday evening.
The street parade at noon was unique
and was good advertisement. A large
crowd gathered on Main street before
the hour advertised for performance to
begin and everybody wanted to get in
the front row. Prof. devoted more
time to the collection part-which was
most important to him-than he did to
the dog performance. He passed the
hat twice. The dog performance was
good. A little black dog, christened
Mckinley, wentup ladder thirty-eight
feet high and jumped off on to canvass
held up by eight men. This was the
most wonderful feat OF the dog show.

Jailed Thursday.

Mrs. Barnabus McCauna had warrant
issued for her husband last Wednesday
evening on the charge of assault and
threatening to kill her. Constable p.
J. Ward arrested Barney and took him
before Squire Woodring for hearing.
Squire bound him over to court in the
sum of $4,000, which Barney could not
secure and he was informed that he
would have to stay in the lookup all
night and go to county Jail in the morn
ing. This information made Barney
ferocious and he declared they could
not put him in the lookup and he
threatened to kill the constable. Four
men had difficulty in getting the hand
cuffs on him, and it was not until after
the constable battered Barney's head
and face terribly with the handouts
that they succeeded in getting the irons
on him. After Barney was put In lock-
up a doctor was called to dress the
wounds. Thursday morning Consta-
BILE Ward took the prisoner to county
Jail. The case has been settled and
Barney Is at home again.

Riot Friday Night.

A riot between showmen and men Of

where from show grounds to corner of
Fifth and Jackson streets last Friday
night. We did not learn the names OF
any of the persons guilty of taking a

canvas into the show and were elected.
That made the fellows mad and some
person cut the guy ropes and then the
showmen got after the gang and there
was warm time on show ground for
few minutes. A crowd was gathered
up to whip the shOwmen after the per-
formance and then the riot was started.

punishment, but 1t was not the thing to

the shooting season some estimate
may be formed OF the money expended
In wages and the number Of people

the shooting season only. In well
