First Stepping Stones.

The parents who find their son with
pocket full Of marbles and his CLOTH
ing besmirched with mud will know
positively that their offspring has been
playing marbles for "keeps," which is
nothing more nor less than gambling.
1t is the first step towards vice which
would cause the same parents worry
and sorrow II their son would become
addicted to 1t in young manhood. Play
ing marbles for "keeps" Is common
practice among boys, and has been for
many years, but parents should not en-
courage the practice without advising
them not 10 play for keeps" and show
ing them the evil there is In the game.
A number OF boys were playing mar.
bles on Main street Saturday forenoon
and quarrel was started because one
of the boys was cheating and the lads
assembled on sidewalk, talked fight and
became so boisterous that Constable
Warwick had to disperse the crowd and
threaten to arrest some OF the little
fellows. Cheating, fighting and swear
ing usually follow in the, train OF gam
| bling.

Barn Burned Saturday Evening.

Last Saturday evening the barn own
ed by Alex Best, farmer residing near
Camp Run, formerly citizen of West
Reyneldsville, was totally destroyed by
fire, resulting in quite financial loss to
Mr.. Best, as ten tons OF hay, two or
three tons of straw, corn fodder, new
sled, farm implements and one calf we're
burned with the barn. Mr. Bests son
was in the loft throwing down hay and
had lantern hanging on peg. The
lantern was accidentally knocked of the
peg, fell on the straw and instantly
there was blaze. The boy jumped on
the fire and tried to tramp it out, but
could not stay the flames and in five
minutes the barn was all ablaze. All
the live stock was saved but one calf
The reflection OF the fire In the western
sky attracted the attention OF a number
of Reynoldsville people.

A Phenomenon.

What proved to be an attractive phe-
nomenon, calling forth much comment
and speculation as to the whyfore, APP
peared In the middle Of the Sandy Lick
creek Saturday evening, just above the
bridge that connects Reynoldsville and
West Reynoldsville. A heavy slab had
aoated down stream and lodged, broad
side, against some obstacle. The slab
struck the obstacle near its centre and
the swiftly flowing water forced the
slab into a seessw motion. When one
end OF slab went down the other end
was three or four feet out Of the water.
The slab seesawed from Saturday after
noon until Monday night. The query
was, what was slab lodged against and
what held 1t In that position 80 long.
People crossing bridge after dark Sat
urday evening thought some living
thing was In the stream slashiDg the
water to get out. II Is said that one
brave fellow who was passing that way
Saturday night thought there was a
man In the creek and began pulling his
coat to plunge in to rescue the man.

Jailed for Stealing Watch.

An agent who was going from house
to house selling stereopticon views,
called at the rooms Of Captain Frey and
Liet. Sweitzer and while there he stole
small silver watch from one OF the
ladies. A person who is contemplate
enough tosteal generally possesses some
cunningness, but this fellow lacked
cunningness. He came down town and
tried TO sell the watch. At the hotel
where he was stopping he would pull
the watch out Of his pocket II any
person would inquire the time Of day.
The fellow gave his name as George W.
Coventry of Philadelphia. Said his
father is in Ridgway selling views.
Coventry stole the watch on Tuesday Of
last week and the following day he had
had hearing before Squire E. Neif,
and failing to furnish $4,000 bail was
taken to the county jail at Brookville
to await trial at April term Of court.

Cheap Tickets for Employees.

The Enterprise Silk Company has
bought a large number Of trolley car
tickets from the Jefferson Traction
Company, which the silk company will
sell to employees, who have to ride on
trolley cars to and from work, at very
low rate-less than cost, The rate will
be the same, no matter whether they
come from Wishaw, Eleanora, Anita or
Punxsutawney. OF course the employ
ees can only buy two tickets at one
time, one to go home from work in eve
ming and one to return next morning.
The silk company will not furnish tick
cts to employees at the low rate for
them to ride on cars when it suits them
only to go to and from work.
II the trolley cars increase the en-.
ployees at silk mill sufficiently to justify
it the Enterprise Silk Company will
probably increase the capacity OF the
silk mill at this place.

Do You Want More FACTORIES :

Kane has Business Mems Associa-
tion to promote the locating OF indus
trial plants in that town and as result
Kane has good prospects Of landing two
or three large industries. Tho members
Of the association pay s4.O0 year as
dues and the people Of the town are
subscribing 81 90 each to aid in booming
Kane. II the work is kept up Kane
will double its population In few years.
Reynoldsville, nor any other town, will
not be troubled much with new indus
tries II there is no effort made to get
them. AS has been repeatedly stated In
the columns Of The STAR, Reynoldsville
has advantages TO offer large industries
that are not surpassed by any other
town Let us make an effort TO in
crease the industries OF our town. There
was party here last week who wanted
to locate match factory at Reynolds
vile and two evenings we're set to hold
a meeting Of citizens that the propo-
sition of the parties seeking the location
might be unfolded, but the party failed
to get a representation OF the citizens.
An effort is now being made to locate
another glass plant here, but what the
result will be remains to be seen. We
cannot afford to be indifferent about
getting new industries in our midst.

NEW GLASS PLANT PROJECT.
Meeting Of Citizens and Glassworkefs
Held Last Week.

An announcement appeared In THE
STAR last week that public meeting
would be held in Centennial hall on
Wednesday evening, February 11th,
for the purpose Of considering propo-
sition to locate another glass plant at
Reynoldsvile. The meeting was held
but the representation Of citizens was
not as large as It should have been.
John H. Wagner was chosen chairman
and Henry B. Clayson secretary Of the
meeting. After discussing the matter
committee was appointed to see the
board OF directors OF the Land I'm
provement Company and find out what
prospect there would be Of securing
site for the proposed new glass
plant. The committee was also to select
the site that would be most desirable
for the new plant. This committee was
composed Of the following citizens . A
M. Applegate, ]. M. Humphrey, H.
Ward Eason, Charles M. Dinger, James
M. Moore, G. G. Gibson, Fred j. Butler
John H. Wagner.
Another meeting will be held soon to
hear the committees report and to take
steps towards raising the stock neces-
sary for the erection Of the plant, which
is to cost about $4,000. A number Of
glassworkers expect to take stock in
the plant and the citizens of REYNOLDS
vile will be expected to take some Of
the stock. just how much stock the
glassworkers will take has not been
stated yet, but no doubt will be at the
next meeting. ..
Every person that can possibly do so
should help this project along by taking
stock when the time arrives that they
are requested TO do so.

An Opportunity Gone.

Two weeks ago mention was made In
THE STAR that there was gentleman
In town who wanted TO start h match
factory In Reynoldsville, but the gentle
man has evidently given up the pro-
ject In disgust, so far as Reynoldsville
ia concerned. Two different evenings
were set for meeting Of number OF
citizens with the man who had propo-
sition to present, but the citizens failed
to put In an appearance either evening.
The gentleman had papers to show that
he was backed up by men who have
capital. 1t is doubtful whether the
fellow will make another appointment
TO meet the citizens Of Reynoldsville for
the purpose Of locating match factory
here. Our town cannot afford to let
propositions for new industries pass by
without giving the propositions q
thorough investigation atleast. ="

Car Every Two Hours.

In the rush to get the trolley cars
running into Reynoldsville before the

vile and Eleanora on the frozen ground,
without ballast, and when the frost be-
gan letting loose the track was not in
good condition. Work crew has been
ballasting for several weeks, but the
running OF the cars every hour inter-
fered considerably with the work crew

to run cars every two hours. The cars
