Persistent Rumor That Tests
Are Now Being Made
South of Town.
MUCH LAND HAS BEEN LEASED
If True 1t Will Mean Fortunes
For Many Loca1Land Own
ers and An Immense Boom
In Reynoldsvil1e Business.

For some weeks past rumors have
been current that agents OF city cor
porations have been active in leasing
the mineral rights on tracts of land
lying south and east OF Reynoldsvllle.
1t is certain that one company holding
an extensive lease in the Paradise dis
trict has been carrying on drilling
operations for several weeks, ostensibly
for the purpose of finding gas or oil.
AS tests in the past in and around
Reynoldsville have pretty clearly
demonstrated that neither OF these
products exists in paying quantities,
fact known to all concerned, it re-
mains that the only other reason for
making expensive and extensive tests
on land held under lease must be for
the purpose of ascertaining the exact
extent and location of the under veins
OF coal known to exist under thousands
of acres lying south Of Reynoldsville.
Acting under this supposition the in
dividual speculators have begun to get
busy. They believe implicitly that the
next two years will witness the opening
and actual working OF the under vein
near Reynoldsvllle.
Hundreds Of acres of coal rights dis
tinct from the above, were leased a
few years ago by parties who en-
deavored to effect sale in block to
well known coal operators. The ne
gotiations at that time came to nothing
because the shadow of the 1907 panic
was already dlscerned. These holdings
it Is said remain intact and sale Of
them under the present favorable con-
ditions will mean profits to the Reyn-
oldsvile men who control the rights,
and an immense boom to the business
interests of Reynoldsvllle when they
are worked.

Noted Church Of God Elder
Secured to Conduct the
Series Of Meetings.

The people of Ralhmel are making
preparations for great religious re-
vival commencing Monday evening,

delphia three years, 1905, 1907 and
1908. He Is graduate OF Park College

Ohio, and for eight years acted as
president Of Findlay College, at Find
lay, Ohio. He founded, and for several
years edited, the Missionary Signal.
, He was honored by selection to the
General Eldership of the Church OF
God.
A Harrisburg daily paper, dated
January IL, 1909, commented as follows
on DR.. Manchester's work in that
city:
"There was large attendance at
the revival Of the Fourth street Church
OF God last night. DR.. Manchester, Of
Columbus, who is assisting Rev. ]. g.
Forncrook, again preached very in
teresting sermon and great many
persons made decision to live conse-
Grated lives.'
An effort is being made to interest
all the christians OF Rathmel and
vicinity in the movement.

 Rexall Orderlies contain an entirely new ingredient which is odorless, tasteless and colorless. As an active agent 1t embraces the valuable quail ties of the best known intestinal reg ulator tonics. <
 Rexall Orderlies are eaten like can dy. They are particularly prompt and agreeable in action may be taken at any time, day or night; do not cause darrhoea nausea, gripping, excessIve looseness or other undesirable effects. They have a very natural action upon the glands and organs with which they come in contact act as a posi- tive and regulative tonic upon the re- faxed muscular coat of the bowel and its dfy mucous lining; remove irTi. tation, overcome weakness, tone and strengthen the nerves and muscles, and restore the bowels and associate organs to more vigorous and healthy activity.
 Rexall Orderlies completely relieve constipation, except when of a surgl- cal nature. The yalso tend to over come the necessity of constantly talk ing laxatives to keep tn ebowels in normal condition
