25. WM. MARSHALL, JR. DIED THIS MORNING Well Known Young Man of Crenshaw is Victim of Acute Indigestion. ILL ONLY FEW HOURS Funeral Will Probably be Held Sunday Afternoon From Home of Deceased.

The people of this section were shocked this morning when the announcement was made of the sudden death of William Marshall, son Mr. and Mrs. William Marshall, of the Crenshaw. Death was caused by a severe attack of acute indigestion from which the young man had been ailing but a few hours, Mr. Marshall was apparently feeling all right last night when he retired and during the night was taken violently ill.

The members of the family were awakened about midnight and everything possible was done to relieve the young man but he continued to develop serious toms and the family physician was summoned who did everything in his power to check the course of ailment. At times during the morning Mr. Marshall appeared to be recovering and it was thought by the loved ones who watched at his bedside that he would soon be all right. Between the hours of six and seven o'clock this morning the young man suffered a more serious attack and failure of heart action followed, death occurring at seven o'clock. "Billy" Marshall was one of the most popular young men of this section and his sudden death has come as a shock barbed with pain and sorrow to a large circle of friends and relatives throughout this valley.

He has lived with his parents in this vicinity nearly all his life and he was well known and held in high esteem. For several years he has been assistant to his father at No. 4 mine, of the Northwestern Mining Exchange Company, above Crenshaw, the elder Mr. Marshall having been the foreman at the colliery for a number of years. The deceased was 32 years of age, was unmarried and lived with his parents.

Arrangements for the funeral had not been completed when the Record was sent to press this morning, but it will probably be held Sunday afternoon at two o'clock. The deceased is survived by his father and mother, two brothers, David, of Beaver Falls, and James, of Crenshaw; and two ters, Mrs. Anna Atwood, of Maryland, and Elizabeth, who lives at home. MUST BE NATURALIZED TO SECURE HUNTERS' LICENSE Many unnaturalized foreigners are said to be taking out resident hunters' licenses throughout the State under the impression that it gives them the right to own a gun. The State law provides that no unnaturalized foreigner can own a shotgun and numerous arrests have been made by deputy game wardens for the violation of this law.

A foreigner in a neighboring county recently gave out the information that his countrymen were taking out licenses under the impression that it gave them the right to own and carry a gun without being molested by an officer. The man explained that the foreign residents were much pleased that the State of Pennsylvania had at last given his nationality the right to own and carry a gun, whether concealed of otherwise. Seminole Strike Ended. The strike which was started at Seminole, on the Shawmut operations last week, was ttled by the operators and men. The trouble was the pushing of cars by the men.

The superintendent ordered the men to either push the cars or take the tools out of the mine. The men came out and officers of the mine workers went down there and had a conference with the men. The result was that the Shawmut company agreed that they would have the cars hauled by mules and motors in the future and the men returned to their places. Foot Injured. Constable Stanton W.

Biddle has been off duty for several days as the result of having his foot injured while answering an official call to the West Clarion end of town the fore part of the week. Mr. Biddle had been notified of a disturbance in the west end of town and in going to the place in the dark sprained his foot while crossing a ditch. While the injury is not regarded as serious it has been extremely painful and the constable is compelled to go around with the of a cane. Committee Meeting.

George J. Britton met with an accident last Wednesday evening which it is feared may result seriously. He fell from the culvert on the R. P. railroad just above the Main street crossing into the stream, breaking two ribs and otherwise bruising and injuring his body.

The shock of the fall and his exposure in the water have caused serious apprehensions on the part of Mr. Britton's family, but at last reports he was resting more easily. The accident occurred shortly after nine o'clock when Mr. Britton was returning home from church. In company with his little granddaughter, Florence Kearney, he was going up the railroad track to his home, when in some manner he stepped off the track while on the culvert and fell directly into the creek below, a distance of about twelve feet.

The little girl ran to her home, a short distance away, to summon help, while a passerby, hearing Mr. Britton's cry for assistance, went down into the water and held the injured man's head from the creek until more help could come and remove him from his dangerous position. He was carried to the home of his -in-law, T. C. Kearney, and Dr.

G. H. Humphreys was called, who discovered that Mr. Britton was suffering with two broken ribs and several bad bruises. The shock of the fall and the exposure also helped to make Mr.

Brittono's condition serious. His many friends are deeply grieved to hear of his accident and hope for his ultimate recovery. Concerning Citizen Papers. A number aliens who took out their first papers in Brookville a number of years ago and who failed to make application for their papers of citizenship within seven years are greatly concerned over the provisions of the naturalization act of congress of 1906, one provision of which went into effect at midnight on Friday night. This provision is to the effect that application must be made for the final papers within seven years of the date of the first papers.

If the act is held to be constitutional a goodly number of aliens will have to start all over again to get their papers of citizenship. Annual Dollar Meeting. The fourth annual dollar meeting of the Ladies Aid Society of the M. E. church will be held in the lecture room of the church on Friday evening, October at 8:00 o'clock.

A good program is being arranged and something unusually good will be provided in the way of entertainment for all who attend. The Ladies Aid always make it a point to have the annual dollar meeting more attractive each year and the occasion this year will be one that you cannot afford to miss.

The members of Echo Temple, Ladies of the Golden Eagle, celebrated the eighth anniversary of the institution of their lodge last Wednesday evening with a social session following the regular business meeting in the Knights of Pythias hall.

A goodly company of the members were present with a few invited guests, and a most enjoyable evening was spent. A sumptuous spread was served by the members of the fraternal order, who proved themselves pastmistresses in hospitality and most graciously entertained their friends during the evening. This order is one of the strongest and most popular among the fraternal lodges of Brockwayville. It was instituted October 4, 1905, with about forty charter members. While the lodge suffered a severe loss of paraphernalia in the fire that destroyed the Odd Fellows' building three years ago they rallied valiantly after that and have continued in a flourishing condition until this is considered one of the best and most progressive fraternal and social orders in the community.

Only five of the original charter members were present at the meeting held Wednesday night. These are Mrs. J. P. Davis, Mrs.

Jesse Winders, Mrs. L. A. McAllister, Mrs. Chas.

The day was spent in an enjoyable manner and all who participated had an excellent time.

Mr. Brockway and his 24- year-old racer, "Rockthorn," were at the Punxsutawney fair where they gave an exhibition of fast time between the regular races. Mr. Brockway is 85 year of age and is still a most expert horseman and he is popularly known in all the racing circuits of Western Pennsylvania. In their palmy racing days Mr.

Brockway and his horse, Rockthorn, carried off many good purses against some of the fastest steppers of the county. Rockthorn's advanced age, like that of his master, has put them out of the running for big prizes. Daring Auto Bandit. One of the most daring highway robberies committed in this section for some time occurred at McGees Mills Thursday of last week, when an auto pulled up in front of W. W.

McGee's general store and a tall well dressed man with a black handkerchief over his face confronted the propretor with a revolver in hand and demanded him to hand over all the money in the drawer. The merchant did as commanded, reluctantly giving up about $200, and the robber left, got in his car and in a moment was speed- away. Desirable Insurance. My property was insured by H. B.

McCullough in The Home Insurance Company of New York, the strongest company in the United States, February 15 last for $600.00. The insurance cost me $7.50. My house and contents burned September 11, and on September 25th, two weeks later, a check was drawn for me, and I received the full amount without question or any discount. 2t Perry D. Clark.

Wm. Mix's New Girl. William Mix is about town this week displaying a smile that positively won't come off. Reason: a fine new girl, the first born, arrived at the Mix home Sunday and there is consequently much joy in that household. Pop Mix says the new girl is the finest in the land and he is backing up his claim with good "ten-centers." The Record extends its compliments to the new queen.

READING CONTEST IN CO. SCHOOLS Special Features for Five Months' Course to be Introduced at Once. WILL AWARD PRIZES Superintendent Jones Announces Plan For Promoting Literature in Grades. County Superintendent L. Mayne Jones announces a reading contest for Jefferson county schools during the coming five months which will have a three-fold object, inasmuch as certificates of merit will be awarded the successful candidates and there will be a roll of honor of the schools standing the highest and a roll of honor for the district making the best showing.

In a circular to the teachers of the county Superintendent Jones emphasizes the importance of reading and literature in the work of the public schools and the necessity of creating a desire for good reading. Observing that the pupils of the eighth grade have been reading the books named for their grade, Mr. Jones assumes that this is because of the stimulus of the eighth grade examination and is lead to believe that pupils of all the grades would do the same if some stimulus were provided. Outlining his plan and the terms of the contest Mr. Jones says: "To aid teachers and parents in this line of work this year we are going to organize a county contest in reading.

We are going to give a beautiful Certificate of Award to every pupil in the public schools of the county who will read three or more of the books mentioned in the Course of Study for the Elementary Schools of the State. The books must be read during the ent term under the direction of the pupil's teacher and parent. "We are also going to have an honor roll of schools. This will contain a list of all the schools in the county in which every pupil enrolled for five months or more has read three of the books according to the conditions mentioned above. It will also contain the name of the teacher who taught each school.

"We shall also publish an honor list of the school districts. The district that reports the largest percentage of pupils enrolled for five months or more to have read three or more books according to conditions mentioned above will take first rank, the second best second rank and so on." STRIKE IS THREATENED IN PATTON COAL FIELD Non-Union Men Are Asked to Unite With United Mine Workers by Oct. 6. Miners at Patton and other places, especially those employed by the Pennsylvania Coal and Coke corporation, are anxiously awaiting the outcome of the ultimatum laid down to about 200 employes of that corporation in the Patton field, which is to the effect that they must become affilated with the United Mine Workers not later than October 6 or that steps will be taken to enforce the demands of the organization. What will happen in the event that they do not accede to the demand is a question, but the inference is drawn that a strike will be called.

As the Patton miners concerned are employes of the Pennsylvania Coal Coke corporation, there are many who fear that a strike of the Pattono employes would spread to the numerous other towns of the county in which the corporation operates. The corporation employs 800 men at its Patton operations and of those who do not belong to the union the majority are employed as day workmen both inside and outside the mines, although a smaller percentage are employed as cutters and scrapers.

A couple of gentlemen who went out with a pair of puppies to see how the dogs would act in the brush run upon several flocks of grouse, and also quite a number of woodcock, within a short distance of town.

Others who were out driving east of town Saturday, came onto a large flock of dusting themselves in the road. grouse Workers on leases report that they see many birds, both grouse and woodcock and that rabbits are as thick as the hair on a dog.

WET WEATHER MARS SUCCESS OF DUBOIS FAIR Excellent Program and Good Exhibits Were Attractive Features of Exposition. Inclement weather was the means of keeping the DuBois fair from being the best event of the kind ever attempted in this end of the state.Elaborate preparations had been made in every department by the managers for an exposition second to none anywhere and those who attended on the opening day last Tuesday were greeted by a wonderfully interesting arrangement of things in general for the entertainment of visitors. The various exhibits were above the average and the stock and poultry shows were larger and better than ever. The 600 foot midway was also a centre of much attraction and the different attractions were clean and worthy of patronage. Tuesday's crowd was small although the races in the afternoon attracted a goodly number of race lovers.

Wednesday the crowd was not as great as was expected on account of the rain but the attendance was given a good program. Thursday rain again kept many from attending the fair and interfered considerably with the program. The attendance today is expected to be larger and some of the events that were scheduled for Wednesday and Thursday and put off on account of rain will be included in the regular program today. In order that the public may have an opportunity. of visiting the fair and enjoying its exceptional exhibits the management has decided to continue the exposition on Saturday.

at which time some unusually good attractions will be provided in addition to the regular shows, exhibits and other places of interest. The management is to be congratulated upon the of efforts made to provide a good fair and it is to be regretted that inclement weather has been the means of keeping the attendance down to a point where the enterprise was not a financial success. DUBOIS RED MEN DEFEAT DONOTI TRIBE Interesting Ball Game on Local Grounds Last Saturday Afternoon. Last Saturday afternoon Montour Tribe, Improfed Order of Red Men, of DuBois. brought their ball club over to Brockwayville to play off a tie with the team of Donoti Tribe, of this place, and the braves put up one of the most interesting games that has been seen on the home diamond this season.

At a recent outing of the Red Men at Alahoe park the two teams played a tie game and it was decided to settle the matter by having another contest. In Saturday's game both teams gave good account of themselves and put up a fair exhibition of the National game, notwithstanding the fact that many of the players do not profess to be ball players at all. To make a long story short, the DuBois braves got the scalps of the local tribe in a score of 12 to 11. Here are the figures: Donoti Tribe. R.

Such a condition has never existed before in Warren county and voting for the pick of two candidates must be obviated before the November elections.

This will be done by casting of lots by the candidates tied or should they fail to appear, by the county commissioners. The great number of ties exist in the rural districts, but in at least two instances the ties are betwen nominees for county offices. Hand Injured. While assisting at the farm of E. C.

IS IMPORTANT EVENT Jews of This Section Attending Services in Synagogue at DuBois This Week. The Jewish people, the world over, are now observing their holy season, beginning with Rosh Hashanah, or New Year's Day, Wednesday evening and ending on the evening of October 23rd.

The greater portion of the Jewish people of this section are celebrating the first holiday period at DuBois where there is a church and regular clergyman. Commencing Wednesday the holy services continued through Thursday and again today until sundown. Among the Jewish people from this section attending the services at DuBois are Mr. and Mrs. L.

Levinson and baby, and Mr. and Mrs. C. Lintz and family. In the Jewish tradition, the Rosh Hashanan marks the anniversary of the creation of the world, supposed to have taken place 5,674 years ago, The present Rosh Hashanan, therefore, will mark the beginning of the year 5,674.

The change of date, however, is of little or no importance, and if the Jewish New Year's Day had no further significance, its appeal to the Jews would be very faint indeed. It is not the change of the year but the change of life that this day stresses, that makes it stand out as one of the holiest days in the Jewish calendar. Herein it radically differs from our civil New Year; it is a day set apart for introspection and self-examination. The sacred character of this day is implied in the two other names by which it is known, the Day of Memorial and the Day of Blowing the Trumpets. In the first place it is the Day of Memorial, or Remembrance.

As such, it calls upon the Jew to remember the divine purpose of life; secondly, it is the Day of the Blowing of the Trumpets. Its purpose is to rouse Israel from his self-complacency and stir him to high resolves and nobler deeds. The Rosh Hashanan derives its significance from the fact that it is but the introduction to the Day of 'Atonement which follows ten days later. The essential ceremony of the services in the synagogue on Rosh. Hashanan is the blowing of the trumpets, in accordance with the injunetion in Leviticus 23-24, which reads, "In the seventh month, on the first day of the month shall ye have a Sabbath, a memorial of blowing trumpets, and holy convocation." In the Reformed Synagogue, Rosh Hashanan is celebrated from sunset of October the first to sunset of October the second, whereas among Orthodox Jews the holiday does not end.

until sunset of October the third. DUBOIS AID SOCIETY MAKES ANNUAL VISIT Once each year the Ladies Aid Society of the Lutheran church, of DuBois, come to Brockwayville and spend a day at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Caleb Landis, of East Main street.

The flames gained rapid headway but: Mr. Lockwood succeeded in saving his machinery and live stock. A large quantity of hay and grain together with the barn was totally destroyed.

The barn was located on the farm purchased some time ago by Mr. Lockwood from Moses Slawson. It was a large frame structure and the loss is a severe one to Mr. Lockwood. Engineer Wins Promotion.
