old GAS WELL IS AN ARTESIAN WELL

A few years ago A.. A. Stewart, Of
New Bethlehem, drilled for gas at q
point about half mile west OF the old
salt works and failing to strike flow
sufficient to warrent piping away,
plugged his we'll and abandoned
1t. A curious sight may now be seen
there for twelve hours each day. A
large quantity Of water flows into
the we'll. and the gas escapes
somewhere below the water. The re-
suit Is that at intervals of ten or twenty
seconds large volume Of water is
thrown up out Of the elk inch pipe In
the we'll, resembling q geyser. It 10
said that the water is forced out only
during the afternoon ana evening.

Eight Inch Peaches.

Charles Berkhouse, one Of the pros
porous Washington township farmers
residing near Reynoldsville, brought to
The STAR Office Friday three peaches
grown on his farm which we're Of re-
markable proportions. All we're Of
about equal size and the one measured
was fully eight inches In circumference.
And we can bear witness to the fact
that In flavor and quality they were
equal to any peaches brought In from
supposedly more favored regions.
These peaches we're the Alberta free
stones and grew on very young trees.
The success which has attended Mr..
Berkhouse ana others In their efforts
to establish fne orchards should
encourage all to pay more attention
to fruit growing in Jefferson county.

M'CAW'S FIGHT TO EXPOSE
FRAUD IS APPRECIATED
Court Decision indicated His
Course and May Lead to
Another Term in Office.

The recent decision Of the Jefferson
county court, granting a non.suit In the
case OF Punxsutawney contractor
against the county, the contractor ask
ing payment for material not found In
bridge he constructed at Punxsutaw-
ney, may have far reaching political
Importance. 1t was victory for the
county commissioners and especially
for the minority member of that board,
T.. 7. McGaw, OF Reynoldsville. 1t
was McGaw who made the first strenu-
GUS protest against the payment OF the
bill In question and insisted on the in
vestigation which disclosed errors In
the contractors claims.
Since the decision OF the court, Mr..
McGaw has been receiving commenda-
tion from many who before openly ques-
toned the wisdom Of his stand. IL Is
now recognized that the presence on
the board OF commissioners OF man
who subjects all matters involving the
county financially to the most rigid
scrutiny is valuable to the taxpayers Of
the county and there is strong under
current noticeable in favor OF breaking
bad precedent aud retaining McGaw
for third term as county commission
er. Mr.. McGaw has never stated his
intention Of again contesting for the
Democratic nomination and the fact
that he is voluntarily mentioned Tor the
honor is a high compliment to the ser.
vice he has rendered the county.

A SHAMEFUL REVELATION OF
CRIME AND LUST IN LOCAL
JUSTICES COURT.

A shameful tale OF desertion and
crime was unfolded In Squire 2. b.
Loves court last week. A few months
ago Henry F. Greenwalt, Of West Reyn-
oldsyille, and Mrs Bert Brown, Of
Wishaw, disappeared togsther. A
detective was placed on their trail and
located them In Indiana county. They
we're arrested on warrant sworn out
by Greenwalt's wife and brought back
to Reynoldsville for hearing. 1t was
given before Squire p. B. Love last
week and both Greenwalt and Mrs.
Brown were bound over to court and
taken to Brookville jail. Monday they
were brought back to Reynoldsville
for another hearing, and before 1t was
concluded compromise was arrived at
whereby Greenwalt is allowed his
freedom on condition OF returning TO
live with his family and reforming his
general conduct. The charges against
Mrs. Brown ware also withdrawn and
she is now at her home In Wishaw.
Mrs. Brown abandoned five children
when she left with Greenwalt. -'wO OF
these we're twins but few months old.
Shortly after she left one OF the twins
died. or the remaining children, the
Oldest was girl of thirteen years.
Upon the return OF Mrs. Brown this
girl sought her and accused her father,
man OF fifty or sixty years, OF having
committed rape upon her. Improbable
as the story seemed, the girl main.
tanned her position and this week, when
Mrs. Brown was given her freedom,
she at once had a warrant issued for
the arrest of Brown on this charge, and
he was committed to Brookville jail
to await the acton Of the court.

tate travellers on passenger trains cross
ing three other tracks In front Of the

nolan PARK CELEBRATION
SUCCESS DESPITE WEATHER

The annual harvest home picnic and
carnival at Nolan Park on the P. s. &
G. r. r this year was greatly marred
by the wet weather as Thursday, which
is always the big day, came In threaten
ing rain, and heavy rain fell just at
noon, which greatly spoiled good
time for all that we're there. There
was a large crowd Thursday,
considering the threatening weather,
and no doubt this day would have seen
the largest attendance since the open
ing Of Nolan Park had the weather
been good. There was good sized
crowd there on Friday, which was an
ideal day, while the usual Wednesday
and Saturday crowds were In attendance.
The free attractions we're given each
day and were enjoyed Eby all who saw
them, though 1t was impossible for
them to work Thursday afternoon on
account OF the weather. Prof. r. L.
Watts, Of State College, was unable to
give his talk on "Farming" on Thurs
day on account Of the rain, but he got
acquainted with good many Of the
farmers and others who we're there to
hear him and he was very we'll pleased
with his visit and the progressiveness
OF the farmers.
1t was through no fault Of the Nolan
Park Association that the usual line of
carnival shows and Indian band were
not present as advertised. A binding
contract was made with large carnival
company, who were thought to be re-
liable, but who cancelled their engage
ment at the last minute, and while the
Association spared no expense in their
efforts to replace them, 1t was impos-
sible to do SO within the time allowed,
and it is hoped the public will appre-
ciate the circumstances.
1t is hoped that the weather will be
more favorable next year and also that
the Association will not have the dis
appointments to contend with that was
experienced this year In the line Of
shows, etc.

MORE LIBERTY IN ENGLAND
Better Law-Making System There Al
so. Saws judge Lawson.

Better Law-Making System There Al
so, Says Judge Lawson.
That the Englishmen have greater
personal liberty and better system
for making laws than the people OF
the United States is the belief of Judge
John Dawson Lawson dean Of the
School of Law of the University Of
Missouri. He spoke at an informal
meeting of the Church Club of Calvary
Episcopal church at the residence OF
the Rev. Henry P. Horton, last night.
In illustrating the first point, Judge
Lawson explained that in England,
such thing as arresting man for
drunkenness or for exceeding the
speed limit was unheard of. A man
might be asked his address by the
police and later summoned to court,
but was never arrested for a minor
offense.
AS to his second point, he cited the
SdSS VI luC pl CoShI uiNoiSS 10" 90
England which some wished to broad
en- that divorce might be made easier.
He said that a royal commission was
appointed and sat for six months or
more investigating every possible
phase of the divorce question before
they made a report on the matter. In
this way, before any legislation was
even framed to be passed on. the ac-
tual needs of the country were ascer-
tanned and an attempt was made to
satisfy them.
Judge Lawson recently returned
from an extended trip abroad where
he made study of court procedure.
