Home Wedding.

A very pretty home wedding took
place at the residence OF Israel Klepfer,
on Jackson street, Reynoldsville, on
Wednesday evening, May 10Th, when
Miss Blanche d. Klepfer was married to
Joseph L. Cable. Only few of the
most intimate friends were present.
The ceremony was performed by Rev.
p. A. Reno, as the couple stood under
an arch of evergreens and flowers. The
best man was James Gable, brother OF
the groom, and the bridesmaid was
Miss Edith Klepfer, a sister of the
bride. Another sister, Mrs. James
Hughes, played the wedding march.
After the ceremony everybody partook
OF the bountiful refreshments. Mr.. and
Mrs. Cable went to housekeeping on
Thursday in rooms in Foster brick
block on Main street.

He Wasn't Drowned.

jim and Dick, two woodsmen who
work in p. McDonald's camp near Rath-
mel, meandered into Rathmel on Deco
ration day, filled up on 'tanglefoot"
and then started for camp. They had
to cross the run-which was also.full at
that time-before they reached camp
and after getting over the stream Jim
missed Dick and thought he had fallen
into the run and was drowned. He
went back to the run and waded down
stream half mile looking for the body
of Dick, but failed to find the body.
He ran into camp as fast as his wob-
bly, legs would carry him and announced
that Dick was drowned. A searching
party found Dick sleeping under a tree
on top OF the hill.

Crowd Quickly Dispersed.

Last Wednesday j. Deemer & Son
moved their steam riding gallery, or
merry-go-round, to this place and set 1t
up on the vacant lot near the opera
house. BY Thursday afternoon the
thing was in operation and nickles roll
ed into their hands rapidly. About
eight o'clock that evening, while the
merry-go-round was spinning around
with load and crowd of anxious lads
and lassies, and some older grown, were
waiting their turn, one OF the fues of
the engine bursted and in a jiffy the
crowd was tumbling over each other
trying to get off the lot. The escaping
steam was enough to frlghten an older
crowd. A new hue was put in Friday
and the engine was In operation Friday
evening.

Decoration Day.

On account of muddy streets, inclem-
ent weather and "hitch" among the
old veterans about where the memorial
services should be held, made Decora-
tion day unusually quiet in Reynolds
Vile. The Grand Army men have al
ways held their memorial exercises in
Beulah cemetery, but this year it was
changed to the Reynoldsville cemetery
and some of the old veterans were dis
pleased and would not march to the new
place, consequently the usual parade
was conspicuous by its absence. A few
Grand Army men marched to the Reyn-
oldsville cemetery and carried out the
Memorial services, while other old vet
eraus went to Beulah TO decorate the
graves of old soldiers. There are
eighteen soldiers buried in Beulah and
two buried in the Reynoldsville ceme-
terry, and this is one reason why some
of the old veterans objected to chang
ing the place of holding the regular
memorial day exercises.
All the stores, with one or two eX-
ceptions, closed at 600 p. IN. Decora-
tion day.

Found OIL.

Ridgway is excited over the fact that
good oil well has been struck by the
Ridgway Light and Heat Co. within
three miles of the town. Owners of
land in the belt are looking over the
map with eager anticipations of the for
tune that may be theirs in the near fu-
ture. The well is down just 2O77 feet,
and is just outside the belt where gas
has been found. Oil has been found in
small quantities in the vicinity of this
we'll, and the company had hopes of
striking oil when they started the we'll,
The well was shot at about ten o'clock
Wednesday and filed up with eighty
feet OF oil in little over an hour. The
next morning there was 800 feet of oil
in the we'll. 1t is thought that the
well will be good for at least ten bar
rels day and the owners are much
elated over their good luck. .-Ridgway

Saved by Two Boys.

The express train that leaves Pitts
burg at sos p. m. and arrives here at
$50 p. m. would have plunged into the
river about mile above Mahoning Sun
day evening had it not been that two
boys happened to be walking along the
track a few minutes before the express
was due and found one rail twisted out
of place. The boys ran down the track
and tagged the train with their caps
and saved the lives of the passengers.
The train was few minutes late and
was running about n mile a minute, the
broken. or twisted rail- was on curve
and the engineer could not have dis
covered it in time to have prevented an
awful catastrophe. The mountain is
high at this point and the heavy storm
Sunday afternoon had loosened large
rock which had rolled down the noun
tain, struck one rail, twisted it out of
shape, and bounded over into the river.
A new rail had to be put down before
the train could proceed on its north
ward trip. DR.. j. b. Neale was on the
train and he had not gotten over the
scare Monday evening.

pn, Them on Side Streets.

If the honorable mayor of this munich
pality wants to issue licenses to street
fakirs to sell their goods on our streets,
he has authority to do so, but they
should not be allowed to sell on Main
street, unless the mayor appoints a
special policeman to keep the crowd off
the sidewalks so that ladies can pass by
without being compelled to work their
way through the crowd or cross the
street to get up and down Main street.
Our side streets are too good for many Of
these fakirs. Several weeks ago a
spoon fakir was profane while selling
his goods and should have been arrested
for his profanity, Last Thursday ev-
ening there were obscene remarks made
while Il street fakir was trying to hyp-
notize fellow. These things ought
not to be allowed on any of our streets.
II is probable that the mayor don't
know that the fakirs are the means
of blockading the sidewalks to the
great annoyance of pedestrians. Send
them on the side streets, your honor,
