The Marshall Band

Our splendid band is giving an
entertainment every Thursday even
ing at 8 O'Clock at the auditorium,
formerly known as the skating rink
at the small admission fee of 10c,
with ladies' and children free. The
auditorium has been nicely decora-
ted and remodeled and has every
convenience for the comfort and
entertainment OF the public. The
band is a good advertisement for
the city and the boys ought to be
encouraged by agood attendance
at their concerts. There is APRON
enade and dance after the concert
from 9 to IL. The band and orches
ira are open for engagements at
all kinds OF entertainments. See

Useful Advertisement.

One OF the most practical adver-
tisements that we have seen for
some time is the new four-leaf wall
map being sent out by the Farmers
Savings Bank. The top OF the
leaf contains splendid map OF
Saline county and a picture OF the
bank building. The front Of the
second leaf has a fine map Of the
state of Missouri and on the re-
verse is a list of the cities of the
state, population and other infor-
nation. The third leaf has a map
OF the United States and the Pan
anna canal and on back the Decla-
ration Of Independence, number
OF interest and weight tables and
enough information to make any
man wise. The fourth leaf is a
map Of the world, up to date, in
Guiding Peary's and Cooks route
to the North Pole, etc. The mar
is a very valuable one to anyone
having an interest in current
events.

II We Gould See
You Face to FACE

II we could see you face to face,
we could prove to you beyond the
shadow OF a doubt the advantages
of the famous Byrne Practical Book
keeping, Business Training, and
Simplified Shorthand; we could
show you clearly how 1t is that We
can turn out a better stenographer
or bookkeeper and do st in three
months less time than when we
userd to teach the systems that are
now being used in other schools.
This saving OF three months time
means much to the prospective stu
dent; at "a conservative salary OF
800 per month, the three months
time would amount to $3.50, three
months board at $12 would amount
to $50, or a total saving OF $3.50, to
say nothing OF the fact that the stu
dent OF our school get three months
practical experience, while the Htu-
dent OF the other school is just fin

COLISSlMO
WAS GUILTY
Entere Plea of Manslaughter and Will
Serve Long Term of
Imprisonment

The latter part OF December. 1907,
Gabrielle Collosa, or Colssimo, for
mer citizen of Reynoldsville, was ar
rested at Fuller, Pa, on charge Of
having murdered man at St. Angus
tine, Florida, in January, 1892. He was
confined In the county Jail at Brook
vile to await for an officer to come
from Florida to take him to that state.
After Deputy Sheriff Sabate, of ST.
Augustine, arrived in Brookville, a
hearing on the writ of habeas corpus
was held before Judge John w. Reed
on Monday evening, January 13, 1908.
The accused man attempted to set up
an alibi and called number OF wit
nesses from Reynoldsville in his behalf,
who testified that he resided here at
the time the crime was committed, but
Judge Reed declined to release Colos-
simO. A number Of people thought
Colossimo was innocent, but having
entered plea of guilty Of man
slaughter removes any doubt about his
innocence. The St. Augustine Eve
ming Record of April 81, 1909, says:
enlarged with mul der in the first
degree Gabrielle Collossa, who is also
known by the name. of Collissimo,
yesterday entered plea OF guilty: to
manslaughter and the court accepted
the plea. This will save the Italian
from the extreme penalty, but will
mean long term of imprisonment.
Collossa was charged with the murder
Of Joseph Lambias some eighteen
years ago, having shot lin and es-
capped from the state. The tragedy was
the result OF difference over money
the Italian claimed his employer owed
him. Collossa escaped after the shoot.
ing and returned to Italy. After stay
of some time in Italy he again came
to the United States and located In
Pennsylvania in the mining region.
Having so long evaded the law he be-
came boastful and confided to another
Italian the crime. His confidant uoti-
fed the authorities who in turn ad-
vised the officers here and Deputy
Sheriff Sabate went to Pennsylvania
and identified the Italian among "a
score of others. After considerable
difficulty Deputy Sabate succeeded in
getting the italian into custody and
brought him back to the scene of his
crime. Collossa has been in Jail since
he was brought back and his trial was
continued from one term of court to

COLE BROTHERy
SHOWS COMING
Aggregation Bigger and Better than Ever
With Many Thrilling Features.
May Fl and ~.

When the Cole Brothers World
Famed Shows were organized for the
present season, experience and capital
united In perfecting one Of the most
superb amusement enterprises eyer con-
ceived. The season OF 1908 was hardly
concluded before the many agents and
the heads Of the various departments
we're called into nsultation with the
executive staff and numerous and
various plans and features discussed,
and many discarded and others &C.
cepted. The line OF organization to
make the shows the most meritorious
and modern In the world was always
foremost In all discussions, suggestions
and plans, and the determination to
give to the amusemeut.loving people
OF this country something entirely new,
and not show with which they had
become entirely too familiar, was
thoroughly carried out in the smallest
OF detail. The reputation that for over
a quarter Of a century these gigantic
shows have always enjoyed. could not
be improved In the. least by the show
itself, further than to assemble 1t 30 as
to put 1t In class far above all Others,
and that eau be safely said of it as
1t is to-day. The unlimited improve
ments adopted alone could and haye
added to the shows reputation, which
even up to now had been unequalled.
Foreign artists we're secured because
they we're entirely new In this country,
and American artists were contracted
for only when it was assured that their
acts had never before been seen with
any tented aggregation. Many of the
features we're obtained only after
salaries that to any other show would
have been prohibitive, we're included
In the contract. The Cole Brothers
will not, under any conditions, sacrifice
one portion of their performance to
strengthen another part. 1t must be
evenly arranged and the program must
be excellent throughout.
Cole Brothers World Famed Shows
will be In Dubois Friday, May q, and
In Punxsutawney Saturday. May %,
and with them will be everything new
and nothing old.

Kidnapers Given

sentence IN the Western Penitentiary
and Mrs. Boyle was sentenced to serve
twenty five years In the Western Peni-
tentiary and to pay a fine OF $1,000.
This is heavy penalty but none too
severe for the crime of stealing child
from his parents.
Mrs. Boyle attempted to commit
suicide by taking morphine, but the
drug did not prove fatal, although she
thought she was taking sufficient
poison to kill two persons. In search
ing Boyle Monday morning the sheriff
found hidden between the lining and
silk OF his four-in-hand necktie white
handled razor and scarf pin. The
sheriff said that the purpose OF the
razor, evidently, was to kill Mrs. Boyle
and then kill himself.
