p. o. S. OF A. REUNION.
Sykesville Dressed in Gala Attire-Large
Crowd-Bg Parade.

The seventh annual reunion of the
Northwestern Reunion Association,
which is composed of the II. o. S. Of a.
Camps of Jefferson, Clearfeld and Clar-
ion counties. was held at Sykesville last
Thursday. There was large crowd
present. The town was dressed in gala
attire for the special occasion. Two
large arches spanned Main street and
bunting was conspicuous all over town.
The citizens Of Sykesville gave the Il.
o. S. of A. boys as warm and hearty
welcome as they will receive from larg-
err towns. For some reason the ball
game and bicycle races were not given
as advertised. but the balance OF the
program was carried out. The parade
at l.30 p. M, was large one. There
were eleven Camps and two brass bands
in line. Reynoldsville Camp, No. 26S,
with their red. white and blue umbrel-
las, made the finest appearance OF any
Camp in line, Notwithstanding the fact
that the judges did not give them the
prize for best appearance. Capt. Joseph
Nj. Gathers seemed to be somewhat
''stuck-up'-he was head taller than
any of the other boys.
After the parade the people assembled
in Romantic Park to hear the speeches.
Rev. Barden. of Clearfield, presided at
the meeting in the park. Squire Asa
Sykes who was chief marshall, deliver
ed the address of welcome. Hon. w.
|. Swope. of Clearfeld. was introduced
and he delivered an eloquent address on
the "Rights Of Citizenship and Rights
of Wage Farmers" Rev. Palmer, of
Sykesville, and A. ID. Deemer, of Brook
Vile. were also introduced and both
made short speeches.
After the speeches the judges an
nounced the awarding Of prizes as fol-
lows: lst prize, largest per cent of
members in line, Rockton; 2nd prize,
lodge coming longest distance, Hazen;
3rd prize, best appearance, Clearfield:
ith prize, largest No. in line, Reyn-
oldsvile.
The ladies Of the Methodist Episcopal
and Baptist churches served dinner and
supper to the strangers, and there was
large supply of good things and every
person received courteous attention.
Sykesville Camp, No 456, is to be con-
graduated on the success of the seventh
annual reunion Of the Northwestern
Association. That Camp need not be
afraid to invite the Association to their
town again.

stronger array of talent than has been
provided for any previous course. 1t is

tions because contracts have not yet
been closed with all of them, but the
best talent only is being sought after.
Mr.. Ernest Gamble, the wonderful
basso, who delighted the people Of
Reynoldsville last spring with his at
tractive manner and low "D's" will give
the first number of the course on Friday
evening, Sept. 2s. Mr.. Gamble will be
assisted by Mr.. Edward Shonert, OF
Chicago, acknowledged to be the finest
pianist of the west.
The course will consist OF six num-
bers. Further attractions will probably
be the African Boy Choir, Edwin r.
Weeks Concert Co., Macy MCGEE
Waters, of Chicago, and other equally
famous talent.
The canvass for season tickets will
be made in few days. We ask the
patronage and cooperation OF all per
sons interested in education and pro

Gone to Dogland.

Sport, a spaniel dog owned by DR.. S.
Reynolds, was so badly injured by a
freight train at b., r.. & p. station Sat
urday morning that he had to be chlo-
reformed. Sport had followed viii
Reynolds to the pasture field with the
COW and on the return trip home a
freight train was passing station slowly
and Sport ran under train and was
caught. The cruel wheels cut off his
right front leg and his tail. Will car
ried his dog to station platform and ran
up to drug store for chloroform, but
while he was making the trip Sport
managed to walk ON three legs as far as
Jackson street. The dog was chloro-
formed and given "a respectable burial.
Sport followed Alb Reynolds frequently
and Alb was AS much grieved about the
dogs untimely death as any member Of
Doctors family. Alb said: There are
hundred other dogs / would sooner
have seen killed." The owners of the
other dogs, no doubt, feel differently
about that.

Fracas Saturday Evening.

A half dozen Italians and Polanders,
who were intoxicated, raised considera-
able excitement on Main street about
100 p. m. Saturday. They began to
talk fight down at the corner OF Main
and Fourth streets, and kept walking
up Main street until they reached the
new brick building at corner Of Coal
alley, then they got into the street and
began fighting, using clubs and pieces
of brick. They did not stop long, but
kept lighting as they travelled on. In
front Of Joseph Hammond's new resi-
dence the fight was more fierce than IL
had been at any time before. Bricks
and clubs were used and knives and re-
volvers were drawn to be used. One
fellow got an ugly cut on forehead with
piece of board, and one got hit with Il
brick. The fight was kept up until
near the east end Of Main street. AT
one time an Italian had long knife
raised to plunge it into Polander when
someone nearby caught the Italians
arm in time to prevent murder. The
whole gang should have been arrested,
but the fracas happened when there
were no officers around.

The Washington Star Urges
Hawaii to Try the Theory
on Molokai

once "A year, says the Washington
Star, the health authorities of Hawaii
journey from Honolulu to the leper
colony on the Island of Molokai, to
inspect the victims of that scourge,
listen to complaints by sufferers, rem
edy defects in administration and
carefully note the progression of the
disease. Recently it has been a GUS
tom to permit the relatives and friends
of the victims to accompany the Of
ficials on this journey, to grant them
the boon of a reunion. The Hawaii
ans are an affeCtionate people and suf-
fer intensely from separation from
family and home, and this privilege
has been highly priced in consequence.
1t has been an unspeakable blessing
to the poor folk of Molokai, but it has
been regarded with disfavor by the
healthy white residents of the other
Islands, particularly Oahu, on which
Honolulu is situated Upon the arriv-
al of the official steamer at Molokai
the sick and me well embrace each
other without the least regard for the
danger of cOntagion and 1t is the opin-
ion of medical authorities that the
privilege should now be checked If the
Government is ever to succeed in
Graduating the disease from Hawaii
strongly opposed to the change The
Hawaiians are exceedingly SecretiVe of
the sick, especially those stricken with
leprosy, and it is difficult at best to
trace and segregate developed cases. 1t
is believed that under the new govern
ment it Will be possible gently to
check the privileges which permit the
lepers to come in contact with theiI
visitors, and already a propaganda has
started to this end.
The fight against leprosy has hereto
fore been regarded as we'll nigh hope
less, as regards it's absolute eXtirpa-
ton. There is, with one possible eX-
ception, no known cure for the disease
That exception has just been noted in
the course of n lecture by a London
specialist, who asserts that he has
practically cured leprosy in all stages
by restricting the diet of the sufferers.
He has discovered that fish food slim
llates the disease principle and hast
ems its development, and that a cessa-
ton of all such food, together with a
course of specific treatment in which
arsenic plays an important part, will
check it. He does not
claim to have cured in the sense of
restoring lost tissues, or restoring the
use of atrophied members. Leprosy
causes aneSthesia of the hands and
feet and often, in later stages, pro-
luces blindness before death ensues.
The cure" will not recover such lost
ground, but with this limitation it is
