Average Layman's Opinion.

1t is surprising to note how much the
average layman, who never saw a case
OF smallpox, knows about the disease.
The physicians, In his opinion, are a
pack OF pretentious dolts, who diagnose
harmless skin eruptions as smallpox
merely for the fun OF the thing. People
do not necessarily get very sick with
the smallpox, and often feel no particu-
lar discomfort at all after the eruption
has appeared, and because of this fact
1t is difficult to convince those who have
no special knowledge Of the character
and habits OF the disease that it really
is the much dreaded smallpox.
sutawney Spirit We have some of
this class OF laymen In Reynoldsville.
We have some laywomen also who know
all about small-pox(?)

Want a New Station

The Brookville Republican,, which
does not often kick about things, "ris'
up last week and delivered very neat,
emphatic and justifiable protest against
the little red shanty at Brookville.
which is called the p. II. Il. passenger
station. Not only the Brookville
people, but the travelling public are
certainly entitled to a better station
than the small incommodious shack
that Is now used at that point for sta.
tion. We have been at Brookyille FIRE.
quently when the red shanty would not
accommodate all the people that were
waiting to get on the train, especially
Is this true during court week. Brook
vile has brick-paved streets, electric
lights, water works, in fact is good
town, and we are only surprised that a
long, loud howl has not been raised ere
this for new, modern station. They
have good grounds for kicking. The
Pennsylvania Railroad Company takes
pride In being progressive along all
lines, and we are inclined to believe
that the pressing need of new station
at Brookville has been either an ovor-
sight or else the matter has not been
presented to the proper authorities.

Sparkling Wit.

Bishop Fowler is the recognized lead
er of the Methodist Episcopal Church,
and stands second to none as an orator,
In the estimation of the American
people. He has frequently distinguish
ed himself on great national occasions
by his superb efforts, but it is safe to
say that his lecture on abraham Lin
coin" in its lofty thought, historic data,
diplomatic insight, burning patriotism,
sparkling wit, vivid word painting,
classic diction and captive eloquence is
the great masterpiece of his life. II Is
enough to immortalize him. Had he
never been known until the production
OF this prose poem, his genius would
live in American literature and his
name go down to imperishable fame

FIRE EARLY THIS MORNING.
w. d. Williams Shoe Stock Destroyed
Partly Insured-Foster's Building
Damaged,

About Las this morning VIM. M.
Foster, who sleeps in the front room on
second floor OF his brick building, near
postofilco, discovered that the lower
part Of building, occupied by w. ID.
Williams shoe store, was on fire. He
gave the alarm and the fire company
responded, but Mr.. Williams entire
stock was most all destroyed, at least
badly damaged before the fire was con-
trolled. Fire ran along the shelving on
both sides Of store room and burned the
end off most all the shoe boxes. 1t was a
sorry looking store this morning. The
fremen succeeded in combining the fire TO
the store room and second story OF
building was not damaged. Mr.. Will
Jams carried over s5,000.O0 worth OF
stock and his insurance will only cover
about two-thirds of loss. Mr.. Foster
estimates damage on building TO be
$4,000, with no insurance. Cause Of
fire is mystery. Mr.. Williams did not
have any fire in his store but the gas
lights.
A couple Of fremen were stationed al
the doors and no one but the firemen
we're allowed TO enter the store and this
prevented persons SO inclined from
stealing shoes.

Bitten by a Mad-dog.

Irwin Lott, nine-year-old son of John
Lott OF Paradise, was bitten on right
leg Monday morning by mad-dog.
The dog was shot Immediately. The
boys grandfather, Lewis Ludwick,
brought him into town TO see doctor,
but as the skin on Twins leg had not
been broken, the doctor thought there
was no danger of any serious result
from the bite. Mr.. Lott was working
on Ludwick's' mill and the dog first
tried to bite him and he chased it
away with club, but did not see his
son coming to the mill. The dog met
the boy on public road and bit him.
