A large and representative audience greeted the company which presented "Miss Bob White" in the Punxsutawney Opera House last (Wednesday) night. The cast is one of the best on the road and Wlllard | Spenser's charming marches and song I scores, as rendered by this company, have lost little of their original power and sweetness. Miss Mae Phelps in the title role. Miss Alice Benson as Goldenrod, and Miss Zilla Harris, leader of the Colonial Dames each possess voices of exceptional strength and sweetness and their work, both in their special numbers and in the ■. choruses, will compare favorably 1 with that of their predecessors in the | parts. Messrs. Frank Deshon and ■lames McClnre as Billy Van Million and Artie Tre Billion, respectively.! the millionaire tramps, are the cause of.more than the ordinary amount of merriment even in a comic opera. The other members of the company are, without an exception, possessed of good voices, making the chorus work one of the most enjoyable features of the opera. The "Mystery of Love" song from Miss Bob White aud "Love Comes Like St. mmer a Sigh" j from the "Little Tt coon," one of, Spenser's earliest successes, were pre. eminently the favorites with Wednesday night's audience.

The third annual literary contest between the Punxsutawney, Brookville and Reynoldsville high schools, which will be held in the Belvedere Opera House, at Brookville, Friday night, is the chief topic of interest discussed by the pupils of the three towns, and the prospects are that the coming meeting will surpass its predecessors both in the matter of attendance and in interest.

THOMAS A. EDISON'S SHAMROCKS Clark Reynolds, one of Hrookville's old and well-known residents died a his home in Litchtown early on Thursday morning of last week, after an illness of a couple of weeks from a complication of diseases. Mr. Reynolds was about 70 years of age at the time of his death. He is survived by his wife and several grown children. His funeral took place on Saturday afternoon. Interrment was made in the old graveyard. Mrs. Sara Clark, wife of Fred Clark, of Toronto, Ont., died at the home of her grandmother, Mrs. C. R. Clements, on Monday morning of this week, after an illness of several weeks duration. Clarice Clements was well known in Brookville where she was popular with the young people. She was married last summer to Mr. Clark. She was taken sick a few weeks ago at her home in Toronto. Her grandmother went on a couple of weeks ago and brought her back with her. She showed improvement at first, but her disease, catarrh of the stomach, would not yield to treatment and she died as before stated. Her funeral took place on Wednesday and was largely attended, j covery. The ladies of the Trinity Episcopal church gave a beefsteak supper in Guild Hall on Tuesday evening. Alfred Truman was the Chef and acquitted himself with credit. A large crowd was in attendance and was satisfied with every detail of the entertainment. Washers are the best on earth.

That Keene, magician, illusionist and entertainer, is living up to his established reputation is proven by his greatly innovated program this season. It has ever been his custom to present new and up-to-date tricks each year, but this season it would appear he has far excelled all previous records in the calibre and variety of his new marvels. The Miser's Ladder and the Lamp of Formar Kiam, two of his new wonders, are alone worth the price of admission. In addition to these there are a number of smaller tricks so clever in their conception and execution as to excite the wonder and admiration of all who see them. The best of the old work is retained, but is so changed and freshened up as to be almost unrecognizable. Taken all in all. this is Keene's banner season and the audiences are profuse in their praise of his latest effort to please, mystify and amuse them. Punxsutawney Opera House Monday night, March 13.
