ris, who was formerly resident OF

Kamr Boy Choir.

j. H. Balmer and his Kaffir Boy
Choir, representing four tribes, with
Miss Elsie Clark, the brilliant and elo-
quent young Anglo -Afrikander, will
appear at Assembly Hall Friday even
ing, February lst. This will certainly
be a rare treat for the people Of Reyn-
oldsville. Some OF our people have al
ready heard the "Kaffir Boy Choir"
and praise them very highly. 1t is
claimed that this is more than an enter
tainment-it is q revelation. Not only
do you get scene and story, but such
singing as 1t is impossible to describe.
There is nothing like it before the pub
lie to-day.
For pure English, delicate harmony,
quaint humor, weird African song they
are incompatible. Every item on the
program is given with spirit that at
once catches the audience. The boys
sing soprano, contralto and tenor. With
Mr.. Balmer's bass voice, complete
quartette is formed. The repertoire Of
the company is as extensive and varied
as it is possible to wish, consisting Of
upwards of sixty selections: Solos,
duets, trios, quartettes, part songs, old
melodies. etc., etc. All Of them given
from memory.

Two Fine Paintings.

In the store window Of Messrs. Brum-
baugh & Hills, the furniture dealers,
there are two very fine portraits painted
by r. H. Burfoot, the artist OF Dubois,
Pa. His portrait work possesses a dis
tinctive style combined with wealth
Of beauty not often obtained by other
artists. While these paintings do not
show to advantage In the window, and
would look much better in a room, on
account OF the glaring light, yet one can
see that Mr.. Burfoot is an observer Of
detail and his work has life like
ness not often equalled. Mr.. Burfoot
came from Washington, d. c., to Du-
Bois, and has made number OF por-
traits for people In this vicinity. A few
are M. I. McCreight, cashier Of the
National Bank Of Dubois, Mr.. J. E.
Dubois, Mrs. Sidney Fuller, Mrs. Horn
or, DIR. Spackman, DR.. Free and num-
Der OF others. He has also made work
| for people In Clearfeld, Ridgway and

TWO MEN INJURED.
John Butson and Jas. Reed Had Thrilling
Experience and Have Broken Legs.


Experience and Have Broken Legs.
John Butson. who moved from Rryn-
oldsvillr Ia Fuller last week, and james
Reed. Of East Brady, had experiences
last Thursday forenoon that they will
not soon forget. Reed had both legs
broken ut ankle. and Butson's left ankle
WAS broken. u is almost miracle that
both mon wo-e not killed.
Struitwell. Hibbard & Co. are open
ing n large coal mine near Fuller, six
miles west Of Reynoldsville, and they
have built u railrond--one mile and II
halt long-f ON mine 20 tipple ut p. r.
r., noar the Fuller Station, and have
PIT a small engine on the road to haul
the mine cars 10 tipple and back TO
mine. There Is very heavy grade
from tipple to mine and IL was ON this
little narrow gauge road that these two
gentlemen had II wild ride and received
broken limbs.
The mine is not ready for shipping
CO i yet and Butson, who had just gone
to work for the company Thursday
morning, vas helping to haul ballast to
get the road bed in shape for shipping
conl About ten o'clock Butson, Martin
Straitwell and another man decided to
drop three cars OF ballast down to where
they wanted them without the engine.
II was not hard to get the cars started
1..,s.. H.. 10 h,,N
stopped was different. The cars were
soon speeding along at fast rate and
when the brakes were applied they
proved to be no good. Butson was on
first car, Straitwell on second, the other
passenger on repr car. When he
discovered they had lost control OF the
cars he dropped of. The brake that
Strnitwell was using all force on broke
and he fell of the cars head first, and
Butson was left alone on the wild train.
On account OF the condition OF the
ground on each side OF the track Butson
had to stay on the cars until they were
almost flying down the grade when he
jumped and broke his leg. The runa-
way cars crashed into a string OF emp
ties at the tipple.
About an hour after the first accident
Engineer Reed was coming down the
grade with his engine and two or three
cars and on account OF bad rail and no
sand, the engine became uncomfortable
and started rushing down the hill, but
1t soon jumped the track and ploughed
the ground up for some distance. En-
ginecr Reed was thrown off his engine
before 1t jumped the track and only
saved himself from being ground to
pieces by taking death grip on hand
hold OF engine. He was dragged a
short distance and it was while he was
being dragged that his legs we're
broken.
Martin Straitwell, member OF the
coal company, who fell of the cars, was
badly bruised, but not seriously injured.

ADMIRED BY THE OLD LADIES.
Alb. Reynolds Dignifed Appearance At
tractcd Attention Mt Memorial Home.


Notary Public Albert Reynolds uud
ye editor were In BroOkvlle re-
recently and called NJ the Memorial
Home to see Oliver Smith, an old com
radc who enlisted ut Rcynodsvillc and
was u member in the same company
with Albert during the civil war, hut
Smith was discharged some thirty-six
or thirty-seven years ago. When the
war began Alb. WIS long and lank and
yet in his teens. He is now about 81
feet tall, ~ feet broad across shoulders
and weighs something less than 800
pounds, and is fine looking specimen
Of humanity. II is not surprising
that Comrade Smith did not recognize
the giant-for such Albert appeared to
Smith-who stood before him In the
parlor. Mr.. Smith frequently referred
TO Abs immense size IN the few min
utes conversation. BY the time we
were leaving the parlor number OF the
old ladies' OF the home had assembled in
the room adjoining parlor and rs Alb
stood AT door saying few parting
words to Comradc Smith we heard the
old ladies comment thusly: what a
large man" ""He's noble-looklng man."
"My, but he is handsome" Alb. was as
interesting us side show to the old
people.
In the issue of the 9th lust we said
that Albert Reynolds had received his
seventh commission as Notary Public,
which was mistake. Alb said II was
the 7th commission at q guess, but he
has since counted up and finds that this
was his thirteenth commission.
Incidentally we might remark here
that Albert Reynolds has grown up
with Reynoldsville. When Alb. was a
barefooted urchin the site this flourish
ing town now occupies was vast will
derness where wild beasts roamed at
will and the red mans tracks had barely
lost the scent. At one time Abs father,
Woodward Reynolds, owned all the land
now occupied by the business portion of
town. Later on Alb. and his brother
David, fell heir to this same land. Alb.
owned the side that the First National
bank is on and David owned the other
side. About twenty-five years ago
Alb. sold two acres to Charles II. Cor
don. In which was included tho land
from First National bank to Syndicate
building at corner Of alley, for the big
sum-at that time-of $4,000. Alb
could not buy two feet Of that same land
on Main street now for $4,000. How.
ever, Abs father only paid sl.O0 an acre
for the land.
