MORE STATE ROAD NEEDED.
Are the Proper Authorities Making the
Demands AS Persistently AS
They Should?

We need more paved roads in and
around Reynoldsville and on account Of
so many demands for public highways
from various parts Of the state the
Highway Department does not have
sufficient cash on hand to build all the
roads in one year, therefore it is sup
posed to be divided in various sections,
but it has been oar observation that
some sections OF the state get more
paved roads than others, and we think
the reason for this is because persistent
claims from those sections are on file In
the State Highway Department at
Harrisburg. Because the state paid a
portion of the paving between Reyn-
oldsvile anG the Clearfeld county line
last year is no reason why the Highway
Department should not pay part for
much more needed paving on some
other public roads that run out from
Reynoldsville. Don't hesitate to ask,
and then press the matter. Don't be
satisfied with one paved road.

Jefferson County Far"

"The Jefferson County Fair" the
home talent play given in the Reyn-
olds opera house on Thursday and Fri
day nights of last week, under
the auspices of the Womens Relief
Corps, was one of the most amusing
aud enjoyable entertainments given in
Rey noldsyille in many-a day. For an
amateur performance it was excellent.
We don't have space to give each one
Of the performers special mention. but
they all did excellent. The dialogue

characteristic to back number county

and amusement. The songs and
choruses were all of the latest catchy,
rollicking spirited order, such as the
up to-date American audience is fond
of. The County Fair was we'll

ENACT SPLITTING ORDINANCE.
Expectorating on the Sidewalk Is Filthy
Habit-Other Towns Prohibit
by Ordinance.

Our borough dads" should enact an
d nance that will prohibit splitting
on the sidewalks within the borough
limits, Such laws are being success
fully enforced in other towns and could
be enforced in Reyncldsville. From
the Ridgway Adrocate of last week we
clip the following:
1.-THE new signs, warning persons
to comply with the borough ordinance
in regard to expectorating on the side
walks, which we're ordered by the Sec
retary OF the council, according to
direction, hava arrived. They will
soon be placed conspicuously in he
main business streets, and, there being
fifteen in all, they should afford ample
notice. The signs are attractively
made. AS soon as they have been
placed the police will begin to enforce
very vigorously the ordinance against
splitting, so it behooves ali mere men
to keep the fact topmost in their con-
science when striding the streets"

CALEB POWERS PLEASED
AUDIENCE LAST NIGHT.
The Young Kentuckian Recounts
His Wrongs and Long Fight
For Vindication.

Slender and pallid, with an appear
ance almost boyish, Caleb Powers, the
noted Kentuckian who lectured In AS
sembly hall last night, does not at first
sight impress one as man OF strong
personality, the central figure OF a
tragedy which held the attention Of
millions for eight long years. Looking
at the haggard eye, one questions II
1t can belong to the same man who
once electrified Kentucky by his elo.
quence. 1t is only when Powers COM
mences the narrative OF his life and OF
the incidents which led to the deplor-
able shooting of William Goebel, the
Democratic candidate for the govern
orship, that the old-time fire re-enters
the eye and the pale face hushes with
the memories of a popular victory hon
estly gained. Elected secretary of state
and with an untainted character and
high ambition, Caleb Powers had rea-
son to believe himself on the threshold
OF a brilliant and honored public career.
In that hour rang out the shot which
laid William Goebel low and furnished
the basis OF charge which placed the
prison bars across the path OF Powers.
The recital of these events is highly
dramatic and when the lecturer tells o.
the weary waiting and iarcial trials, of
his treatment and the denial OF justice,
one comes to understand the listless
air and look of patient resignation in
the eye. While pardoned atser eight
years, Powers was denied clear vim
dication OF his innocence.
Caleb Powers is a man OF education
and refinement, and linked with the
narrative of his wrongs was warning
to the people couched in truly eloquent
language, Of what must inevitably re-
suit II the voters ignore reason and
prostitute the ballot to the vile pur-
poses Of purely partisan politics.
The lecture was as interesting as the
man himself and we'll repaid the aud

One OF Messina's Tragedies.

One of the saddest incidents of the
Sicilian earthquake catastrophe ha:~
pened the day following the great
quake A party of Russian sailors
found in the center of the town the
rear wall of a four-story house still
standing precariously. A foot or two
of the third and fourth floors remain
ed, and upon these narrow edges
were clinging two women and three
children, crying for help. There were
no ladders and rescue seemed lmpos-
sible. The brave bluejackets did a
heroic thing. One stood on another S
shoulders against the outside of the
WALL third carrying a pick climbed
over them, and, using his implement
as an ice pick, drove it into the NOR
tar high above his head. BY this
means he pulled himself up to WIN
dow sill, released his pick, used it
again in the same way to gain near
er window above, and finally reached
the terror-stricken refugees high in
the air. He lowered them with
rope to his comrades below and then
slid down himself. The little party,
assembled in the narrow courtyard
prepared to depart, and one of the
sailors was wrapping his jacket
around one of the almost naked chill
dren. At that moment the tottering
wall fell upon them and killed every
one, the brave sailors as well.

obtaining education in this country.
Probably not a leading college here

dents, and now three young women

yates of the Women's University of
Yokohama. Miss Mitobe has been
sent by the Women's University for
the purpose of taking course in
English literature in the University
of Defiance, in Defiance, Ohio. When
she completes the course she will re-
turn to the japanese University and
fill the chair of English literature
there. The other young women also
will enter the Defiance institution.
They were selected from among sew
eral hundred students, and it is said
they have proved even more receptive
