Met a Horrible Death.

Charles Smith, Of Smicksburg, Indi-
ana county, Pa, met with a horrible
death on Wesson & Irving's portable
saw mill on the Coleman tract near
Summerville last Wednesday. The
mill is run with a centre stroke engine
and Smith accidentally fell into engine
and was caught feet first and before
the engine could be stopped his body
was torn and ground to pieces up to
the breast, but his head and shoulders
were not even scratched. The engine
drew his body in like a meat chopper.
The body was gathered up in pieces and
placed in box. Smith was about 80
years old. He leaves wife and one
child. John r. Keys, of Emerickville,
a sawyer and filer on the mill, was a
witness to the awful fate that befell
Smith, and it was from Mr.. Keys we
got the particulars of the case.

Assembly Hall.

One OF the important things for the
school board to consider in the rebuild
ing of our public school edifice is Assem-
bly, hall. There should be no delay in
furnishing and fixing up the hall as soon
as the building is completed. Expert
ence has taught that Assembly hall
should be made larger than it was be-
fore and that there should be raised
seats put in the hall. This could be
done at small expense and it would be a
great improvement over the old Assem-
bly, hall. There is no doubt, however,
but that the school board will give this
part OF the school building as much and
as prompt attention as any other part
of the building, but If it has not already
been considered it should be considered
before the architect draws plans for the
building

Individual Communion Cups.

The individual cups were used at the
communion service in the Presbyterian
church at this place Sunday. The cups
were borrowed from the Beechwoods
Presbyterian church. 1t is the inten-
tion of the Reynoldsville Presbyterian
congregation to buy set OF communion
cups and they have been trying several
kinds to see what they would like best.
Every church should use the individ-
ual cups, and we believe the time is not
far distant when they will be used by
all the churches. This is not an indica-
tion that the churches that use the in
dividual cups are getting high toned,
but it does mean that the people are
awaking to the fact that the old way is
a means for spreading diseases.

Need a Dog Ordinance.

Since the mad dog scare in town there
has been considerable talk about dogs
being allowed to run at large in this
borough, and some people are Of the
opinion that the burgess should order
all the dogs to be muzzled or shut up.
There is no ordinance on the municipal
statute book prohibiting dogs from rum
ming at large. The general borough
law Of April 3, 1861, confers power upon
the corporate authorities to prohibit
and regulate the running at large OF an
imals, including dogs, and to authorize
and direct the killir Of dogs running
at large, conferip : Legislative or dis
cretionary power; and neither the cor
porate officers or the borough are liable
for failure to exercise this power, nor
for falling TO enact borough ordinances
prohibiting dogs from running at large.
There should be dog ordinance passed.

Special Election Sustained.

Falls Creek was incorporated into a
borough on the 18th day Of August,
1900, and on the 10Th Of the following
month, September, was the time set by
the court for holding special election,
at which time the officers Of the new
municipality were elected. AT the
February election this year an entire
new board Of councilmen we're elected.
IL was claimed that the court had no
power or authority for fixing the
special election held in September,
and that the election so held was illegal
and void. The councilmen elected at
special election would not vacate their
seats in the council chambers, claiming
that the election was legal. This
meant trouble unless IL was settled and
finally the case was taken before Judge
Reed last week. The Judge decided
that the special election was valid and
legal, and that the persons voted for
and elected at that time were regular
ly and legally elected.

Attracted a Large Crowd.

"Joe the Turk" was the attraction at
Salvation Army hall last Thursday and
Friday nights, and he was a good draw
ing card; the hall was not large enough
to accommodate all the people who
wanted to hear Joe Thursday evening.
Arrayed in the oriental splendor OF his
country Joe marched at the head of the
Salvation Army parade blowing a cornet,
which he handled with skill. He is a
large, fine-looking specimen OF his race
and he certainly made quite gorgeous
appearance on the street and in the hall
Joe gave the people his experience OF
trials and tribulatious in trying to live
a christian life in his own country.

Another Cigarette Victim.

A young man nineteen years old was
buried at New Bethlehem this week
whose death was caused from smoking
cigarettes. We mention this as an
other warning to the boys and young
men Of our town who smoke cigarettes.
II the cigarette does not cause insanity
or an untimely death, it does stunt the
mental and physical powers and the
victim never reaches the high position
in life that he might have attained II
he had not become an inveterate cigar
ette smoker.

Gave School Board Sroo Check.

One of the complaints Of the employees
OF Enterprise Silk Company during the
recent trouble was the fine imposed on
them for spelling work. The company
claimed that this was only done as a
disciplinary method TO make the en-
ployes be more careful in doing their
work, and that the company did not
fine them as money making scheme,
for the amount spoiled was far in ex-
cess of the fines imposed, and to show
to the public that they were in good
faith in the statement that the fine was
only for discipline, the Enterprise Silk
Company offered to pay the amount re-
ceived from fines to the public school
fund or any charitable institution. Last
week the company gave the Reynolds
vile school board n check for $4,000.

Footwalk Needs Repairing.

fact In The STAR IL is true that the
walk is in dangerous condition, but to

was raised by subscription 20 build the
walk in the first place for the accommo-
dation Of the silk mill workers. The
portion Of the walk in the borough linn
its might be looked after by town coun-
ell, but the largest part of the walk
complained OF is In Winslow township
and there is no provision iu the town
ship for sidewalks. The glass plant
employees who work at night are the
ones who run the greatest risk of being
injured on this walk. A subscription
among those most benefited would be a
very good way to get the sidewalk re-
paired.
