portant business.
A petition from John G. Bell and

Need More Room.

The old wooden building on the rear
Of the Syndicate brick block has been
razed to the ground and two story
brick addition will be erected. The
new addition will extend back to the
alley and both floors OF new part will be
used by Hills & Co. furniture dealers.
Their present room is not large enough
for the large stock they carry. The
first floor will be $50 feet deep, and on
the second floor OF the new addition
there will be an exclusive carpet room.
This will give Hills g. Co. an excel
lent store room.

Gentry Bros. Show.

The name Of Gentry will be handed
down TO posterity as the greatest edu-
Gator Of the dumb brute during the 10Th
and 20th centuries. No other man,
living or dead, has ever been able TO
accomplish half so much with dogs,
ponies, monkeys, elephants and camels
rs have the four talented brothers who
own and operate the four largest train
ed animal shows In the world. Animal
actors will do that in this city which
ten years ago even, would have sur
passed the comprehension Of the most
enlightened and best posted individual
in. this country on animal education.
Even the Gentry Brothers themselves
have been repeatedly surprised at the
marvellous results they have attained
and when the statement is made that
the only exhibition OF this kind on
earth will be witnessed here when the
Gentry Bros. give their exhibition,
there Is no fear Of the statement being
challenged and no fear Of the public
failing To acquiesce. Gentry Brothers
are making feature Of their street
parade this season, and when the beau
tiful pageant passes along the principal
streets OF Reynoldsville at 10 a. m.,
Thursday, June 4th, all those who de-
light in the beauties OF gorgeous ois-
plays should witness it, Like the rest
Of the performance the parade is larger
and grander than ever, and every ad-
jective used in praisng it is not misused
or misapplied.

Candidate for Jury Commissioner.

John Trudgen, one Of our highly re-
spected and worthy citizens, who work.
ed in the mines until recently. now en-
gagged in the insurance business, has
decided to be candidate for the Re-
publican nomination for jury commits
sioner and has authorized the county
chairman to announce his name for the
office. Mr.. Trudgcn has been worker
in the Republican party for a number
OF years and is more than deserving OF
the Office he now seeks. He has the
ability to fill a more responsible aud
lucrative Office than jury commissioner,
and this may be a stepping stone to
something higher.

Unique Display Window.

In one of the large display windows
Of Millirens department stores was a
Memorial Day scene that attracted
considerable attention Saturday. There
was large white mound on which the
words, I'm Memory of Our Fallen
Heroes" stood out prominently in black
letters, On one side OF the mound stood
a large figure representing a soldier
and on the other side Of mound a figure
representing widow dressed in black
with heavy veil over her face, holding
handkerchief to her eyes. Guns were
stacked in front OF the mound. It ap-
peared SO real that people were seen to
wipe the tears away from their eyes as
they stood looking at the scene.

County Treasurer Will Not Collect Taxes
"Trip Cancelled This Year.

AT the May term OF argument court
w. l.. McCracken, ESD, appeared for II
number Of the tax collectors OF Jeffer-
son county and prayed for writ OF
mandamus against the commissioners
OF Jefferson county to compel them TO
place the tax duplicates Ia the hands OF
the collectors instead OF the county
treasurer, as has been the custom In
this county for forty years. We have
not seen Judge Reeds opinion In the
case, which Is quite lengthy, but the
result Of the case Is that County Treas
urer Means will not make his annual
trip over the county, which he was TO
have made this month, TO receive taxes.
The duplicates have been returned 10
county commissioners and the dates
cancelled. Hereafter all taxes will be
paid TO the regular collectors In each
township or borough.
The tax collectors will have more
work TO do and will receive less money
for the work, because the percentage
will not be rs high as 1t was before.
The collector In Winsow township, for
instance, will have to collect all the
taxes and will not get within 10000 as
much for that work as he usually did
for collecting what taxes was left for
collection after the county treasurer
had made his trip through the county.
The county treasurer is from $4,000 TO
10000 ahead by not making the trip
over the county and does not have that
extra hard work TO do. II the tax col
lectors who prayed for writ OF man
damus had IL 20 do over again they
would not likely ask for 'mandamus
