THE WAY OF MONEY.

Where does our money go to? AS
much money has been made in Reyn-
oldsville as in any town of its size in the
state and yet, by a rough estimate,
there are not over fifty men in the com
munity worth over five thousand dol
lars each. Collectively we have seven
hundred thousand dollars deposited In
our banks-but it represents the small
earnings of five thousand people who
have never been able to make their
money work for them. Not that they
haven't tried. Reynoldsville cash has
flown to Arizona and Alabama, to Mis-
sissippi, Missouri, Michigan and Mas
sachusetts, to Idaho and Indiana, to
copper mines in Montana and the Golfers
OF shysters in Wall street--not to meu-
tion couple hundred thousand dollars
invested nearer home, And for all their
risk and trouble ninety-nlne per cent of
Our people have for reward-an i'm
mense account In the bank Of Exper-
ience. The money lost by Reynolds
vile investors in the past fifteen years
will pass the half million dollar mark,
and this does not include large sums in
concerns still operating but paying no
dividends. We have plunged with the
freedom of gamblers; the merchant
with his thousand, the laborer who had
boarded hundred, the widow with
even less, threw in their money in the
great blind pool called corporation bus
mess and waited trustingly for the
dividends promised. We are waiting
yet and learning to our cost that spec
ulation is not poor mau's game.

PROSPERITYS RETURN.

Sensation Is so necessary in modern
journalism that exaggeration ente rs
even into reports OF matter-of-fact bus
iness reports. Newspaper readers
should take with grain of salt the
daily stories OF resumption Of business
on scale equal to the booming days OF
1906. The victory OF conservative pol
icies In the recent election gave the
signal to resume the progress that had
been checked by the money panic OF
1907; but it will not and cannot restore
at once the activity of long continued
prosperity. This is the work of time
and will be impeded by the necessary
reorganization of enterprises wrecked
In the panic last fall. Reynoldsvile is
notable example. A growing demand
for commodities will have an immediate
beneficial effect ON the local wooden
mills and tannery but before we can en-
Joy return to the flush times Of 1900
year must be spent in training new en-
ployes and putting the silk mill in
shape for full operation; some one must
take over the ,'steel plant" from the
present holding company's hands; the
upper brick plant must be bought before
piece of clay can be burned; and
thousands must be spent in re.equipping
the glass plant before cent OF money
can be earned. These are not pleasant
things to consider, but they are facts
our citizens must face and the quicker
they awaken to the true situation and
assist in the general re- organization, the
better it will be for Reynoldsvile bus
iness and property interests.

THE ONWARD MARCH.

1t would be hard to find a town that
has faced the depression OF the past
year with braver front than Reynolds
vile. In the midst OF her wrecked in
dustrial ambition, the town went reso-
lutely forward In making public i'm
proyements and at no time has the
local Business Mems Association been
idle, That the latter organization has
not attempted to organize new stock
companies for industrial exploitation,
as past boards of trade have done, Is
not due to lack OF opportunity but to
the conviction that such uninvestigated
projects are not for the permanent good
of the community and all propositions
of the kind have been promptly tabled.
The officials have been, and are now,
using every effort to interest really
meritorious companies in Reynolds
vile. In good time their work will
bear fruit and when a proposition is
accepted the public may rest assured
it will be one of proven worth

Will somebody explain why the reg

Of telephone connections, or to lack OF
system in sending in alarms, or to care
lessness, the members of the fire COM
panies should take measures for its cor
rection. And while they are at it, 1t
would be greatly to their own and the
public's advantage to establish code
OF signals by which the operator OF the
whistle could designate at once to the
public and firemen the exact section OF
the town from which the alarm was
sent.

RECEIVER FOR RAILWAY.
Banks Act Against Southern Indiana
 n Walsh Road.

Chicago Aug. 20.-Federal jurisdic- tion now extends over the Southern Indiana Railway company, through the appointment of a receiver In the United States Circuit court.
 On a petition presented by counsel for the First Trust and Savings bank of Chicago, the representative of the Chicago Clearing House association, Judge Christian c. Kohlsaat late last night appointed M. J. Carpenter, for merly president of the Chicago and Eastern Illinois Railway company, re- ceiver of the Southern Indiana
 The Southern Indiana road was the first railroad acquired by John R. Walsh, In the extension of his bank ing business to wider financial circle, and the methods employed to develop the road and finance the other rail- road enterprises, formed large part of the trial which preceded the con- viction of the aged banker on a charge of misappying funds of the Chicago National bank, of which he had been president,
 It is probable that the receivership will be extended to cover the Chicago Southern Railway company, which was designed to connect the Southern Indiana road with Chicago. A mo- ton asking for the extension of the receivership has been presented to the Federal court, and will be heard before Judge Kohlsaat on Saturday.

BLuE sEReEs AND BLUES.

Joe Johnson wasn't selling blue serges yesterday. He was busy watch ing snapper blues escape his hook. He took a party of estlmables out in his launch ostensihly for the purpose of taking into possession by hook or crook" some several hundred snap pers. It was just off the Savin Rock shore and blues were runnin fine, so fine in fact that a net would not catch them. Joe seldom becomes exasper- ated but his good nature was im- mensely befuddled yesterday. He had promised good days fishing and his word usually Is as good as his bond. This time, however, he had to throw up his hands and the volume of his apologies was as great in pro- portion as the scarcity of blues. There was just one that caught fish and he was not q man. but a boy and good one at that. He is Master James Kelly, son of John Kelly, who shingled the sky some years ago. Master James got about all the fish, although one man with a trolley pole. short crcuited few, This man caught the largest fish of the day which he jok- 1 ingly remarked was the Dean of the school" Eddie Coogan of Spring field, won third honors.

ton to Lilley is plainly shown in the standing of the men who are leading the Anti Lilley forces in this town. All are agreed that the movement is led by the most prominent and influential manufacturers and business men of Winsted. The same kind of opposition is developing all over the state They hold that 1t is of vital importance to the great and varied interests of the state that the governor be man who possesses amicahle relations with the authorities at Washington, especially with congress, in order to secure for him a maximum of influence in mat ters wherein the interests of Connecti- cut may at any time be involved, Those concerned in this movement, so far as can be learned are prominent republicans and would be willing to have their names used, but say that it is entirely unnecessary if MT. Lilley should he defeated at the caucus as they hope and believe he will be. If he should be nominated, however they will assume full responsibility for the movement from the beginning
 They say if Lilley's nomination is forced upon the party, 1t will be only through the discipline of defeat that the party managers can be made to act for the party and the people and not for themselves.

 Information came from New Haven today that such ticket would poll five thousand votes in that city. There has been some talk between these Anti Liley conferees about urging either :.

Performance in Which Rattler and

 Tt had no big tent, no bands, pa rade, or gaudy paraphernalia, and yet the exhibition was thrilling and dra- matic in the extreme. This affair came off in small mountain town in West Virginia, and the promoters were natives of the rough region They advertised fight between big rattlesnake and a blacksnake, and on being told that the performance was worth seeing, l paid my two bits and joined the throng of about 200 spec tators
 "On my honor, the combat that en- sued between that pair of huge ser- pents set every man present almost crazy with excitement. The minute they were freed they went at each other with rush and with a hissing that betokened deadly hatred. I had no other idea than that the rattler, who looked so much more dangerous, would make quick work of the black snake. At first the advantage was with the more dreaded reptile, and the way he bit and hammered and lashed his dark foe boded him noth- ing but ill
 But ere long the tide turned All the while the blacksnake was trying to envelope his enemy by winding his body around that of the rattler, be- ginning at his tail, and presently he had succeeded in encircling him crushing out his life as he had added coil upon coil, until we could see the small part of the head of the doom cd rattlesnake

DAINTY NEEDLEW0Rk
TO PASS THE TIME
DURING LENTEN DAYS
Dressing Jackets and Marking
Table Linen Is Nice Work
for Season.

Old-fashioned needlework is the kind
that women are doing now. Quaint
designs adapted To modern uses are eff
fcctive in house decorations az we'll as
in dress accessories. SO that the EN-
broiderel' has d wide range of articles
to choose from when she decides upon
her embroidery work for Lent. Fin
batiste embroidery is dainty enough to
attract every needle artists eye. and
it is so popular now that one cannot
have too much Of il.
Daintily embroidered collar and ctH
| sets made by hand are ~ priced posses
sion. They are expensive when puf-
chased in the shops. yet they can cas-
lily be made at home. one need not
even go to the expense OF having the
batiste stamped before beginning the
embroidery. 1t is quite simple to copy
old designs from books OF to take them
from samples and transfer them 10 WE
sheer material.
Very fine embroidery cotton is used
for this work. and if the foundation is
very thin and fine it should be
strengthened by an extra piece of ma
terial. When a hoop is used this should
cuff entire. Zach time that the en-
broidered article is removed from the
frame the threads of the linen or
batiste run the risk of being pulled.
Dressing jackets are pretty work for
this season of the year. and. us no WoM-
an can have too many of them. she
need not feel that h is doing a use
less bit of work if she devot several!

.frotu the captain to the erect that she

Though no names were mentioned ll

Lucauia. because it had been his favor-

taueous memorial service in New York..
The woman departed for this city on
,thc ~Ilucania'S return trip.
to the manager of the United States
Cremation at No. $50 Broad
way, he said:
"Without some cjew to the name it
WOuld be quite impossible for us TO
identify the case referred to. Such
midocean ceremonies are by no means
so uncommon as they ono were. II is
not at all unusual now for some man OF
woman who has been u traveller to re-
quest that such u disposition be made
of his or her mortal remains. The idea
which appeals to them seems to be that

continue their travels after death.

in form. it was about eight inches deep
by six in diameter.

tinucd, lit has been the wish of the
decedcnt that his ashes be permitted
to sink to the bottom of the sea. III
that case the canister is weighted. But
on the other hand. the desire sometimes
is that the ashes be allowed to remain
afioat at the will of the elements. Not
long ago one of these black tin canis-
ters containing human ashes was
picked up by IL pilot somewhere off
Sandy Hook. and, thinking it might be
Of value. he brought it to us, probably
with some idea of earning Il reward.
"When we identified the canister by
means of its number, however, and
communicated with the family of the
decedent. they were inclined to be in
dignant because the pilot had presumed
to interrupt it's wanderings."

Tho Successful Reporter.

Editor and Publisher: No position on
n daily newspaper Is more responsible
than that of tho reporter. He is the eyes
and ears Of the editorial department.. so
far as all local matters Is concerned.
Upon him rests the burden not only of
getting the news. but of writing 1t ac-
curately, clearly and interestingly. If he
fails in any ono of these particulars he
cannot expect to enjoy the full confidence
Of his employers.
There Is a certain fascination about re-
portorial work that other newspaper posi-
lions do not have.
Unlike the editor who sits at a desk
eight or ten our a day, seeing only those
about town, touching elbows with all sorts
OF people. In a single day he may inter-
view a minister. a prize fighter. a banker.
q society matron. a merchant n a thief.
He liz in direct contact with those who
arc making the history of the place. He
talks with them IN an equal footing. He
gains access to men who. were he en-
gagged In any other business, would refuse
to SEQ him.
The reporter who Is in love with his
work prefers 1t to anything else. His
round Of duty IL never monotonous, never
wearisome. For him the Kaleidoscope OF
combinations. If he Is q student Of hu.
man nature and enjoys the analysis OF
character: II lie takes delight In unravel.
ing mysteries, and discovering relations
OF events to each other: IL he believes In
bringing wrongdoers to justice, In help.
ing the unfortunate, and in advancing the
interests OF the community In which hi
resides. he will find no other occupation
60 enjoyable or SO satisfactory.
