as to the best means of retarding the

Five-inch bumps made of trap rock
and clay, were made across the high
way. When the reckless autoists struck

which beats that of the Chatham coun-

repair that automobiiists dare not speed
lest they be upset by the yawning cavi-
ties in the city thoroughfares.

AT Work for Washington.

A fOrceful and impressive letter to-
day reached the members of Congress-
from the Public Art League of the
United States 1t is signed by Glenn
Brown, as secretary of the league,
and carries the Endorsement of Rich
ard Watson Glider, as president; of
r. S. Peabody, Augustus ST. Gaudens,
and John La Fargo as vice presidents,
and of Robert Stead as treasurer.
When those names are considered ii
is good TO know that the purpose
of the communication was to present
the bill for a national advisory board
on civic art-recentIy noted in these
columns-and set forth the demand
and the necessity for such a board.
Not the least impressive paragraph
in the appeal Is that which reads:
This appreciation of the value Of
he3uly Is not confined 10 the United
States. London Is spending millions to
recutN former mistakes. Paris, after
having spent S265. .00O 600 on the HauSs-
mann Improvement from 1854 10 1870. has
found it such a paying investment that
Il Is now cDntenl tiafinR spending $-op,-
C00.O0C in q new development, exclusive
OF the cost OF buildings, statuary, sew
erage. and water supply Germany.
Italy. Austria. Australia. South -Africa,
and Japan are actively engaged n the
same work
AS the letter says, continuing, "The
enthusiasm produced throughout the
country by the park commission S
report has shown the interest of the
people in the Capital City and their
desire TO have it the most beautiful
in the world. The moral effect of this
movement mas been reflected in the
work executed since the report was
made public The great terminal
Union station, the Agricultural build
ing, the new National Museum, the
Office buildings for the Senate and the
House. the Municipal building. the
buildings for the George Washington
University. and for the Daughters
of the American Revolution have all
been located and designed so as to
conform with the new plan for the
development of Washington"
However, the point is well made
that the advice and guidance of an
advisory board were never more
needed than now. In Washington
alone new department buildings are
being appropriated for, conflicting
measures for the extension of the Dis
trict parking system are pending be-

Will Report Favorable.

Some Of the industries south of town
have been trying for two years to get a
public road from the silk mill through
to connect with the public road at S. M.
Gourley's, but have been unable to get
viewers to report favorable on the new
road. During the two years the court
appointed three or four sets of viewers.
The last viewers appointed by the court
viewed the road Saturday and we
understand they will report in favor of
opening this road. The Winslow town
ship supervisors were willing to open a
road from silk mill down to steel plant
and Reynoldsville Brick & Tile Com
pany plant, but on account of bridge
across the creek at that point and a
large fill, they opposed opening the
road through to Gourley's. II the road
is opened it will shorten the distance
into town for people living at Wishaw,
Panic and that section.

Have Not Struck Oil Yet.

The company that has been drilling
for oil in Horn Settlement this summer
has drilled two holes and abandoned
both of them without striking oil. The
first hole was drilled on land of W. II.
Schugers to depth of over 1900 feet. A
small amount of gas, not in paying
quantity, was struck in this we'll. The
second well, which was abandoned the
latter part of last week, was drilled
near M. M. Moore's. This we'll was
drilled over $500 feet deep, but did not
strike either gas or oil. Some person
started report last Wednesday that
oil had been found at this we'll, but it
was false report. The company is
talking of drilling another hole. The
third hole may be the lucky one.

A good dinner was served for % cents.
Almost five hundred tickets were sold

enjoyed the event.
The Emerickville brass band was

THREE KILLED IN WRECK.
One OF the Men Has Brothers Here and
Another Has Brother-in-Law at
This lace

Last Thureday night or early Friday
morning freight wreck occurred on
what is known as the Riebold cut off of
B., r. & P. R'y near Butler, and three
men were killed, two OF whom had rel
atives at Reynoldsville. The men
killed were Harry B. Field, conductor,
OF Butler, who was married to sister
of Mrs. A. T. Bing, OF Reynoldsville.
Samuel Smith, brakeman, OF Punx-
sutswney, brother of Nelson and
William Smith, of Reynoldsville, Jer-
ONE Hanlin, fireman, OF Butler.
The wreck occurred, according to re-
ports, through the carelessness of B.
q o. freight crew who had left freight
cars standing on main track without
sending out flag or having any lights
on the cars and the B., r. & P. freight
train crashed into the cars without
warning. The engineer miraculously
escaped the fate of the conductor. brake
man and fireman by being thrown
through the cab window.
Samuel Smith, aged 81 wears. 9
months and 10 days, was known to a
number of our people, having worked
here last year with his brother, Nelson
Smith, and also worked in the silk mill
short time. Interment was made at
Oliveburg cemetery Saturday afternoon.
Nelson and William Smith attended
the funeral OF their brother. While in
Reynoldsville last year Samuel took out
a 81 900 life insurance policy. He was a
member of the Eagle lodge at Punxsu-
tawney.
Harry B. Field had been conductor
on the B., r. e. p. for a number of
years. He was married to Edith Bar
low, OF Dubois. His body was taken to
Bradford Sunday and Inferred at that
place.
Mr.. and Mrs. A. T. Bing attended the
funeral. Mrs. Bing went to Butler

law, and Mr.. Biug met the funeral party

Swallowed Open Safety Pin.

About six weeks ago Louisa, one year
old daughter of DR.. and Mrs. r. DeVere
King, swallowed an open safety pin.
The pin was in the child's stomach and
bowels three weeks. After the pin
passed out of the child she was SO sore
that she would cry when moved out of a
certain position. Dr. King and wife
took Louisa to the Mercy Hospital in
Pittsburg last Friday and had special
ist give her careful examination, but
he was unable to locate cause of pain.
The child was brought home again and
is not suffering now as much as she did
at first. 1t is remarkable how the open
safety pin got through the child.
