Our friends the spiritualists who were
pulled Sunday evening for collecting an
admission fee at the door Of the tbeater
where they were holding services should
pear IN mind that the laws OF the state
ana ordinances of the city differentiate
between the voluntary contribution on
the inside of the sanctuary and the en-
forced collection at the door. This diff
ferentfation and discrimination Is in
Iavor OF the voluntary contribution, and
there you are. The trouble with the
average spiritualist meeting where one
goes to commune with the ghosts OF
those already gone, there isn't much to
inspire the seeker after truth to part
with much coin for information which he
has not received. AS the tramp who
was forced to patronize the natatorium
remarked, Here's where / pay for the
privilege OF being soaked" Curiosity will
lead some to pay fifteen cents to hear
an "inspirational speaker" who wouldn't

police on Sunday night was virtually to
throttle an enterprise that might have
fiourished had they kept their brass but
tons at home. And the chances are now
that the medium" who was to have
been sent for to come here and give us
tests will give us nothing at all: but
Truth crushed to earth will rise and wing
Her course in swift advance
Truth always does that sort of thing
If given half a chance

MERRY THRONG TAKES PART
IN HALLOWEEN MASQUERADE
The Celebration as Seen
by a Neighboring City.

About two hundred Dubois people
attended the big masked carnival at
Reynoldsville last evening. The af-
fair was In the hands OF the Busi-
ness Mems Exchange of that place
and 1t was certainly carried out in a
most successful and upto-date man
ner. The streets were thronged with
happy masqueraders until far after
the mystic hour OF midnight and
many Dubois people did not return
until daylight this morning. The as
sociation had arranged for ample
police protection and none OF the
rowdiness which is usually SO much
In evidence characterized this notable
event. Reynoldsville is fast making
reputation for itself as wide
awake up-to. date town and those who
were present at the carnival last
night say that it even surpassed Old
Home Week which left such an impress
sion upon the minds OF the Dubois
eople.-DuBois Courier, Nov. 8.

united work along this line has been
well demonstrated in many other pros

to show Mr.. Koehler, who has been
superintendent Of the Sunday school
three years, that his faithful and
Jealous work in the school is ap-
preciated by the other workers in the
school, and the other was to give his
wife, who came here month ago a

Co. Treasurer Situation Here.

There are now five aspirants at this
place for the Republican nomination
for county treasurer, and all, appal ent-
ly, are determined to remain in the
contest to the finish, and just as sure
as they do so sure will all FIVE be
defeated, the nomination will go to
some other section Of the county. Any
one OF the candidates who thinks he
can really win out with FIVE candidates
from here, has not given the matter
careful consideration. Reynoldsville is
entitled to this nomination at this time,
and we believe would get it with but
one candidate in the field. Would it
not be wise for the FIVE candidates
to get together and In some honorable
way, If possible, get the matter ami
cably adjusted and only have one can
didate from here?

lespie is hustler, and his years of
experience in city store augmented
his hustling tendency, and there is no

a success of this business venture, and
