Greatest Indust-
rial Parade
Ever Seen Here
Handsome Floats and Many
Unique Designs in the Line.
Several Reminiscent Of the
Pioneer Days Of the Town.

There was variety sufficient in the
grand civic, military, industrial and
fremen's parade, which moved over the
principal streets of Reynoldsville,
starting at 2:30 this afternoon. The
features ran from the ridiculous to the
sublime, from crudity to productions OF
art, but all was in keeping with the
Wilderness of scope for which Old Home
Week is arranged.
The thousands of spectators who lined
the thoroughfares were highly enter
tained by the magnificent blaze of NOV
ing colors, the harmonious strains of
music; pulses quickened to the tune of
the fife and drum. The "stay-at-homes"
swelled with pride as they pointed out
to their visitors representations Of
Reynoldsville thrift and industry, fea-
tured by floats in the parade.
The imposing figure of Postmaster
Burns, chief marshal of the procession,
mounted on hlgh-stepper, proved that
the committee made good choice of
first officer; and the PM. started things
on time and kept them moving.
To mention all the attractions would
take more space than can be spared in
the daily edition, but few must be
noted to give proper conception.
At the head rode Mayor McCreight
and the no norable council in carriages
followed by the Volunteer fire depart
ment.
The old Keystone band was the first
musical organization in the ranks.
Troop d. of the State Constabulary,
was the military attraction.
Among the more attractive floats OF
mercantile and industrial nature we're:
W. Fl. Bells with team of steers in
harness; Headley's dog team; Henry
Priester's wagon, with beautiful uphol-
stored mahogany furniture; Milliren's
beauty and fashion show, with Lying
models; American Silk Co., loom
Reynoldsville Brick and Tile Co., brick
house on wagon.
The exhibit put on by Franks Tavern
reminded the ole residents of the days
when Winslow township farmer used
to drive into town behind brindle
bull.
Besides the Keystone band the
musical organizations in the line
ware: Sons Of Veterans band of Brook
vile and Hickory Creature Sousa Ban
detta, organized for Old Home Week

Nervous Dyspepsia

1t took Mrs. James II. Titus, of 107
Clinton ST., Warren, Pa, many years to
realize that there was only one way to
cure nervous dyspepsia. That all the
digestive mixtures and Bitters in the
world would not do 1t, and that the only
true way was to first put the nervous
system that controls the organs Of di-
gestion in perfect working order so that
the food might be properly handled and
digested. She says: "Dr. A. w. Chase's

How the Pendulum Was Found. i.

Like many Of the commonest me-
chanical instruments in daily use, the
Invention of the pendulum is due en-.
tirely to chance. Galilei, when under
twenty years Of age, was standing one
day in the metropolitan church of Pisa
while some pointers were at work on
the ceiling Of the church. A suspended
lamp which was hanging before the al
tar was disturbed +, some manner, and
the scientist VIZ struck with the al
most perfect regularity with which it
swung back and forth. The idea OF
measuring time by such an instrument
'found instant generation in his brain,
and he completed the system in use to
this day.-St. Louis Republic.

Great AUT0ISP
HAS NARROW
ESCAPE.
Three Persons Standing Near
Were Knocked Down But
None Seriously Injured and
To-Day Ropes will be Put
Up to keep back the Crowd.

Breton, the flying automobilist, had
narrow escape from instant death
Monday afternoon when he made his
wild leap in mid-air. To start he had
the machine pulled clear to the top
of the steep structure and when the
rope was cut the auto shot down at
lightning speed, bounded high in the
air at the end but did not land squarely
and in twinkling Breton was thrown
from his seat, the heavy auto careered
to one side, crashed into water plug
and the two wheels on left side were
kpocked off and ruined. A child OF
Attillio Benigni, the butcher, was hit
but escaped with slight injury. Two
other people were injured in the mad
stampede to get out OF the way of the
auto and one lady tainted. But for the
obstruction the machine would have
crashed into the massed crowd on the
sidewalk and frightful list of casual
ties would have resulted
Breton himself lit on the wood plat
form on his back. but escaped with only
wrenched foot and was up looking
after his machine in moment. He is
absolutely cool in making his thrilling
descent and has had SO many accidents
in the last few weeks that he is begin
ming to take them as matter OF course.
Before he went up he had requested
the Keystone band to play, regardless
what happened, and their GOODNESS in
| the music when the auto crashed into
the plug done much to prevent panic
and consequent fatalities. Breton,
speaking OF his accident, said it was
impossible to assign any exact cause
for the machines fitting to onerside,
but he was inclined to believe that II
was all caused by some fault in the con-
struction Of the incline near the bottom.
The rear wheel on right side rode
the guard rail just before his leap and
caused 1t to swerve Had Breton been
able to keep his seat. he claims he
could have stppred clear Of the water
plug and crowd and all would have
gone we'll But he, alone of all per.

To-day a rope will he stretched on
both sides of the structure and the
crowds forced tO stay back Breton
was In no sense responsible for the acci-
dent yesterday for he had repeatedly
warned the bystanders OF their danger
In crowding close. To-day the auto
will be repaired. The shock demol-
ished the rear wheel. tearing the heavy
washers will have to be used at the

also slightly bent. Breton believes it

uled performances to-day.
Il have been riding in the presen
machine three years" said Breton,
making about 100 rides season. But
it i simply impossible to foretell what
will happen on any trip. Accidents
happen sometimes without any assign
able cause and the succeeding deceht5
are made with perfect case.

Lost Everything by Fire.

The fire bell aroused the citizens
at O. clock Thursday morning, and
a bright light east of the central
school showed that the fire was well
under way when the alarm was
given.
About a hundred citizens and the
fire department turned out, but t o
late to be of any assistance. Some
of the nearer neighbors who were
aroused before the general alarm
was given reached the burning
dwelling In time to be of some as
sistance. d. l.. Page, in his haste
to help his neighbor, did not wait
for even his shoes, but ran over
barefooted and assisted in remov-
ing what could be saved.
The house belonged to Mr.. Quig-
ley and was occupied by Mr.. and
Mrs. S. Stanton Neeland, young
couple who were married last Au-
gust. Mr.. Neeland had added
nearly 5000 worth Of new furniture
to that which Mr.. Quigley had left
in the house when they took pos
session, and all Of this was lost but
three chairs, a rocker and a small
table. The house was insured, but
Mr.. Neeland had no insurance on
his goods and consequently lost ev-
erything, which included fine sill
yer set, a present from Mrs. Nee
land S mother. Mr.. Neeland and the
neighbors who first came to his as
sistance took out Mr.. Quigley's fur
niture first, a good part Of which
was saved, including an organ, bed
and other articles which we do not
remember. Mrs. Neeland was i'll at
the time and tainted from the ex-
citement, and her husband was
obliged to carry her all the way to
her fathers house at Newport sta
ton, where she Is still confined to
her bed.
These people will certainly have
the sincerest sympathy Of their
friends in the city.

City Water Works o. X.

We have always contcnded tha,
we had the b st drinking water IN
81. Johns that ever chased that hot
fuzzy taste from your throat and
palate and we are not recanting q
word OF II yet. We went with Mr..
Edlelsen the other day ont 10 the
works and learned something more
about the policies of the water
company, They have sunk their
well down to the water supply and
enlarged Il so as To make room foT
three pumps, Two of these have
already been installed and the 9TH
CT one will be put in within a shor,
time, The growth OF the city has
been very rapid and il has required
an immense outlay of money for
the company to keep step with
this growth. Mr.. Edlefsen says,
though, that he is determined to
keep ahead OF the demand instead
OF permitting II TO get ahead OF
him, hence this addition To the
pumping force which will just
about double the capacity OF the
plant II is very commendable and
should make the patrons OF the
company have very pleasant
feeling towards these hustlers.
From the pumping station we
took drive out To see the big dry
docks from the point above them,
where we had never been since
coming TO ST, Johns. IL is the
pretliest view we have seen in ST.
Johns, From this location one
may look directly down on the dry
dock, where at this time we saw
two big windjammers receiving an
overhauling. Raising the eyes we
look up the river to see all West
Portland spread ont over the slope
from the water front to the top of
Portland Heights and Council
Crest, and the entire river is in full
view from Portland down To Linn
ton. This is most desirable
place for city park and the COM
mi,tee in charge of that matter
should look into this location before
their purchase. We asked
Mr., Edlefsen about il but he was
not able to give us much inform
alton beyond the fact that the
there belonged to several
different individuals, We will |
endeavor TO find out what the |
can be purchased for and |
give more extended writeup next
week.

The lid Is 10 he raised Saturday.
Our people should remember that
there Is more money in the country
at the present time than ever before
In the history of our nation. That
there Is being handled right now
greater movement Of export
stuff than has ever left the Pacific
coast since It's discovery. That
this export means the immediate
placing of millions more Of good
yellow gold into our banks aud
eventually into circulation here.
Therefore, there Is no reason for
making run upon any bank in
Portland or elsewhere in the
Pacific Northwest. The sensible
way To do Is 10 deposit whatever
cash one may have beyond present
needs Into some bank for safe keep
ing until profitable investment
presents itself, The most unsafe
proposition on earth is for one To
draw out their money, take the
risk of fire, burglars, mice or other
animals making nests of il, There
are hundred chances Tor loss out
side our banks To one on the inside,
The banks that have gone safely
through this purifying process are
worthy our utmost confidence.
Then let NJ leave our money in
them aud add tn the account.
