Concreting Reservoir.

Two years ago the Reynoldsville
Water Co. had large and what was
considered, substantial reservoir built
on the Hill near old reservoir, but when
IL was completed the reservoir would
not hold water and, hence, was not
used. Recently the company decided
TO concrete the entire interior OF the
reservoir, and McAfee and Wright, Of
Curwensville, were given contract to
do the concrete work. They now have
men at work on the reservoir.

The 'Cowardly Deed of Villain.

When the report ran through town
like wild-ire Friday afternoon that
President Mckinley had been assassin
ated at Buffalo, for that was the first re-
port, the news was received with great
sorrow, and many tears were shed. A
picture of President Mckinley and full
particulars of the dastardly attempt to
assassinate the beloved President will be
found on another page of this issue.
The English language does not contain
words strong enough to express our
contempt for the villainous wretch, and
his clique, who deliberately attempted
to kill President Mckinley.
The latest report from Buffalo this,
Wednesday, morning is that President
Mckinley is practically out of danger
and will live. This is good news and
will be received with gladness by all
loyal citizens OF this great nation.

Takes a Firm Stand in the Mat

Leavenworth, Kas., Aug. 1z-Gam-
bling Of all kinds in Leavenworth Will
be suppressed from now on with the
firm hand of the law. Some Of the
leading gamblers stated last night that
they had quit business and it is said
that most of them will emigrate.
This is a satisfactory state of affairs,
and is largely due to the efforts of
County Attorney Harry E Michael.
County Attorney Michael returned
yesterday FROM Excelsior Springs,
where he spent several days for the
benefit Of his health. Mr.. Michael was
overcome by the heat while in Atchison
a week ago last Friday.
On his return last night a reporter
called on him and asked him what if
anything, was new in the gambling
situation. Mr.. Michael said:
You can say that slot machines,
policy shops, and all gambling will be
stopped in Leavenworth. The proprie-
tors of any place where slot machines
are located or gam bling is carried on
will close operation at once"
After the above statement from
County Attorney Michael the reporter
called upon John BeechIer and in
formed him of the position taken by
the county attorney, and asked him
what he intended to do. Mr.. Beechler
said:
My business is closed and am now
I will do I cannot say at the present
time. Whether or not I will remain
here is to be decided in the future. I
have interests in LeavenWorth and the
probabilities are that I will open some
mercantile business in the city"
