A Rare Treat.

Never before have Reynoldsville peo-
pie been permitted to listen to such
an entertainment as was given last
Thursday evening at the Public School
Assembly Hall by the Temple Quar-
tette. Although the date was an open
one for the Quartette and their paper
had been up but two days, a very fair
audience greeted them and those who
attended were most highly entertained.
Many thought the basso, Mr.. Bullock,
equal to Gamble, while the tenor was
to be compared with nothing we have
had here this year. But what proved
to be the most popular part Of the enter
tainment was the reading done by Miss
Elvie Everett Burnett. She is certain
ly perfect reader Of dialect. Her
rendering Of "A Soldiers Dog" fully
demonstrated her unsurpassed skill In
that line, and her work throughout was
matchless. Our people are fully aware
OF the quality OF the event and an effort
is now being made to get this company
on the public school course for next
wear.

Philanthropist Conser.

John "Marks" Conser, of this place,
can now pose as II philanthropist. Last
Friday night large sleighing party OF
boys and girls came down from Dubois
and when they arrived here they were
as hungry as young wolves, but as it
took all their ready cash to pay for their
sleighride, they were financially en-
barrassed"-that was their only embar-
rassment, however. John marks" was
at Hotel Imperial when the crowd man
ifested craving for something to eat
and he took pity on them and bought
sandwiches and soup at the restaurant
for them. Some of the boys were not
satisfied with enough to eat, but tried
to work marks" by slipping sandwiches
into their pockets, which he was paying
five cents apiece for. "Marks" spent
$7.00 or $500 feeding the party. Before
starting for home some OF the girls had
the cheek to ask MARKS" to buy them
dish OF oysters apiece, but there is
where they put damper on Mr.. Con-
ser's philanthrOpistic spirit

Residence in THIS Place.
Mr.. John Reed for the past ten years
superintendent OF the Jefferson and
Clearfleld Coal & Iron company's opera
tions here. has taken up his residence
In Reynoldsville, removing TO that town
to-day. The departure Of Mr.. Reed
from Dubois and his subsequent loss as
a citizen Of the Mountain City" was
occasioned by his recent advancement
TO the supcrintendoncy of the company's
operations at Reynoldsvile, although
bc will retain the management Of tho
collieries here. over which he has so
long and faithfully had charge.
About Il year ago Mr.. Reed made ex-
tensive improvements about his State
street residences and caused IL to be-
come one Of the most attractive and
comfortable homes in Dubois. He has
disposed OF II and secured another at
Reynoldsville, henceforth to be the
scene Of his most active work. The
central Offices Of the company with which
Mr.. Reed Is connected are located at
Reynoldsville and from there he will BE-
better able to direct the large volume Of
business over which he will have control.
The loss of Mr.. Reed from Dubois is
one that will be felt for long time.
He took an active interest in the affairs
Of the town, and for tho past seven or
eight years has served on council, filling
the chairmanships Of many important
for the measures he thought best cal
culated for the towns good. So eff
ficient had been his administration that
several years ago he was payed the un-
usual compliment of being returned to
council without opposition.
He was prominent member Of the
Acorn club, being one OF the pioneer
members aud closely associated with
the business men Of the town IN social.
fraternal and secular attachments,
though busy man at all times. He
was great friend Of the firemen and a
few years ago. at banquet given by
the Friendship company, delivered one
Of the finest and most appropriate ad-
dresses ever uttered in Dubois.
The Express, while regretting Mr..
Reeds departure, joins In wishing him
unlimited success and increased honors
in his new field of activity.

The African Boy Choir.

The most unique number of the lee
ture course was given last Friday even
ing at Assembly hall. The African
Boy Choir, under the direction of Mr..
Balmer, was at its best and although
the people were expecting much. AS the
choir came so highly recommended,
still their anticipations were fully met
and the largest crowd that has greeted
any number OF the course, unless it was
the first number. was fully satisfied
with the performance given by the lit
tie boys of Darkest Africa. Aside from
the merit, from musical standpoint, the
work is certainly marvel. To think
that five boys from four different tribes
could In few years be taught TO so ex-
ecute musical numbers of such difficulty
with such accuracy, ease and expression
is almost beyond the credible.
The talks by Mr. Balmer and the
Africander lady were quite instructive,
but the singing OF the boys was clearly
the most captivating.
Prof. Lenkerd announced that Fred
Emerson Brooks could not be obtained

April Is. The tops of the course tiok-

There is another strike on at the silk
mill, but all the employees are not out
this time. One Of the employees was
discharged Monday forenoon and at noon
a large number Of the employees struck
in sympathy. The superintendent in
formed us that the employe was dis
charged because he persisted in leaving
his work to go to other parts Of the mill,
and that he had been warned that un-
less he dessted from that practice he
would be discharged This employe
was member Of the committee to get

say they think that had some thing to

In order to get rid of portion Of
the vast sum in excess Of the needs
of Government that has been exact
ed from the people Of the United
States, the Secretary Of the Treas
ury has been paying for bonds an
average of ST. SO for every dollar due
for them. That is to say whore
man invested three dollars IN gov
ernment bonds he is receiving four
in return, not through any rise in
the market value but simply because
the government cannot afford to
store the money away from the
channels of trade. When it is noted
further that this money is extorted
from all of us simply in order to
maintain the protection to the steel

character become even more evident.
