The Public School Lecture Course.

The lecture course given under the
auspices of the public schools is being
conducted not in the interest of any in
dividual or company of individuals, but
wholly In behalf Of the schools. There
are two objects which it is designed to
subserve. While it affords to us enter
tainment and is means of securing
more liberal culture IL Is at the same
time benefitting our children. The
proceeds are to be devoted to some of
the present needs OF the schools and
thus, we receive two-fold benefit.
For this reason the lecture course
ought to appeal to every citizen and
enlist his most earnest support. Some
OF the best talent available has been
secured and no pains are being spared
to make the course among the best that
has ever been held in Reynoldsville.
The second attraction will be the
Hawthorne Musical Club which will be
here Jan, 29 This musical organiza-
tion comes with wide reputation as
entertainers and as such they give an
evenings entertainment which cannot
fail to please the people.
Frank r. Robertson, the best illus
trated lecturer on the platform, will be
here Feb. 9. Since the last announce
ment in these columns with reference
to his subject, it has been decided that
his newest lecture, "The Last Days Of
st. Pierre" will be more instructive
and satisfactory than that on the Philip
pines. Mr. Robertson spent much
time in working up this lecture and it
is undoubtedly the most popular OF his
many lnctnrars

Saturday. His hours are from 800 p.

Mr.. King has ordered policeman's
uniform, which will be ready for him in
a few days. AS was stated in THE STAR
last week, Policeman King will not be
trifed with, and there will be less
rowdyism on the streets than there has
been since Mr.. Pomroy went of duty as
night police.

Upset on Barbwire Fence.

Saturday load of small school child
rem we're taken to Dubois in Burns
tally-ho, and it was jolly outing for
the little people until within two miles
of home on the return trip when they
we're suddenly dumped out into the
snow and onto barbwire fence. An
engine was standing near the scale Of
fee above Prescottville, where track is
close to public road, and just as the four
horse team and tally-ho got opposite
the engine 1t blew off steam. The
horses are not afraid Of an engine, but
the sudden blowing Of steam when so
near engine caused them to shy TO one
side of road, where deep gully had
been cut by teams hauling coal, and the
runners of the tally-ho dropped into
the rut and an upset was the result, all
the occupants Of tally-ho being dumped
out, including the driver, Bert Burns,
who hung onto the lines, but was tangled
up in the robes so that he could not
control the horses. The lead horses
broke loose from tally-ho when upset
occurred and they started for home,
coming down Main street at a reckless
speed Several mothers, whose child
rem were in the sleighing party, saw
the horses running down Main street
and recognized them as the lead horses
that had started out With tally-ho and
they, naturally, were very much ex-
cited about it. When the team with
tally-ho reached the little bridge near
where the upset occurred the tally-ho
ran up on railiLg of bridge and was
turned over on its runners again and
the team was caught short distance
from there. Had it not been for the
wire fence the children would have all
escaped with only a bad fright, but
several Of them had their face and neck
lacerated on the wire, but no one was
seriously injured.

More than Earned His Oats

"Barnum," one of the bay horses that
hauled Broadhead's milk wagon through
the streets of Reynoldsville so many
years, died recently. 'Barnum" was
20 years old When two years old
"Uncle Ed" Seeley, then proprietor Of
the dairy, put the colt to work in the
milk yagon, and for 23 years "Barnum"
m.ue the trip around with the wagon,
not losing three months service during
that time, and the night before he died
the old horse kicked up his heels like a
colt. In the 1896 trips In the milk
wagon, not counting his work on the
farm, "Barnum" travelled miles enough
to make four trips around the world,
and counting his service at sl.0O per
day the horse earned over $4,000 for his
owner.
