Reynoldsville Fifty Years Ago.
BY AN OLD TIMER.

T.
Two old friends Old Home Week; they had been
boys together from what heard one say.
Fifty years have passed away since last parted Bill
Our youthful chums sleeping in that yard
the hill
You remember Bill the old saw MILL where we used to
play with lines and hooks in that running brook
would fish or swim all day.
The brook dry where you and baskets oft did fill
with specked trout and other fish, down by that dear
old mill
Fifty years ago. Bill those hills clad green not with
grass but timber, fine e'er seen-it all has
passed away Who would think it so, when you
and were boys, Bill, just fifty years ago?
When you and I were boys, Bill we would start at the
break ofday shopping tour to Brookville, fifteen
miles away. Through valleys, lofty mountains
oft times to knees in All those the
strenuous times Bill fifty years ago.
Things have changed since then, Bill though the hills and
valleys remain But to you and l. old friend they do
not look the
Sheep and cattle Craze and crops in abundance grow
where all was dreary wilderness fifty years ago.
AS gaze at night on those brilliant streets my heart with
pride doth grow. Oh! what change has come about
since fifty years ago.
Those towns around about us, they thought that we
slow, but showed them the spirit our fathers
had fifty years ago

GILLESPIE, BELL, KANE AND
MALONEY PLAY BRILLIANTLY
Plenty Of Fun and Some Science
and the Veterans all Survived to
tell the Tale Next Day.

One of 'he crack features of the Old
Home Week celebration was the game
OF base ball Thursday between the old
Mountain Leaguers, who cayorted
arc nd the bases some quarter of a CEN
tury ago, and bunch OF youngsters
who thought they were going to have
some tun with the hoary headed old
veterans. They were all there-the
heroes the diamond in the DAYS when
lumbermen, raftsmen, miner and other
pioneers, formed the mob fans. Jim
Gillespie, the inventor of the curved
ball whose wont it was in long ago to
station u catcher around corner and
twist the sphere right into his nit, was
in the box feeling the hero he was in
the days before he degenerated into a
mere business man, while Jack Kane
with 800 pounds avoirdupois, playfully
gambOled around the bases and threw q
few just to show that handing them
OUT has ept his arm in excellent
trim Maloney who once despised the
new tangled padded glove and caught
with bare hands anything short of
cannon ball, condescended to use nit
and lined them out to second in way
that struck terror to the hearts Of the
youngsters who were running. Butler
in right and Whitehill in left field, had
troubles Of their own and the little res
taurateur nearly got lost in the crowd
when Reynoldsville batter connected
with one of Gillespie's slow ones for
skysc rap Will Bell was right at
home at short and as timber as he was
in a famous game of long ago when he
"ria" six feet in the air, pulled down a
ball so hot it gave him double somer-
sault and let it fly for home on the Sec
ohd turn in the air, putting out the run
ner and saving the game. Incidentally
Bell trotted across home plate three
times himself In Thursdays game.
Hunter and Chestnut each landed on
Suffers curves for a hit. Taylor, on
second, would have played star game

Wrapped in Bandages, Suffer
ing Intensely, the Autoist
Makes His Leap.
SOME FACTS ABOUT
BRETON'S EXPENSES.
He Leaves Large Portion of His
Money in the Town and His
Auto Needs Expensive Repairs.

Harry Breton, tn, daring aerial
autoist, did not maxi" his leap yester-
day afternoon owing H. the incline being
wet, but in the evening made one Of the
prettiest jumps he has accomplished
during the week Th.. usual crowd was
packed arCui the structure and the
continued interest demonstrates that
Rreton's feat has aroused more genuine
interest and wonder than any exhibition
ever given il the town. Today he will
close his weeks engagement here and
leave for the west for his next exhibition.
1t may interest the people to know
that Breton, though paid $500 for his
six days engagement, will actually
have net profit Of less than Sl25 for
the week and even this will practically
disappear when be pays the bill for re-
pairs to his machine, and repairs to his
OWE anatomy. He has had remarkably
tough luck since coming here. In his
first ride his machine was wrecked and
though repaired, it will be necessary to
get new wheels made to insure safety
for the future. Since Breton's second
ride, wherein he was pinioned under
the auto, he has suffered constantly and
yesterday doctor pronounced him suf-
fering with fractured rib. Notwith-
standing his condition the plucky per-
former has been doing the best to carry
out his contract and has gained the
sympathy of the people. Besides these
expenses, Breton paid from his own
pocket all the expenses Of building the
great incline on which he rides and
purchased the lumber as well. When
these things are considered it well be
admitted that he has not only given the
people more than their moneys worth

PARK THEATRE WAS CROWDED.
Fiddlers Of Pioneer Days Make Music
While Scores of Early Residents
Renew their Youthful Days.
DAVE REYNOLDS AND ED SEELEY FIDDLED

The Old Settlers Dance in the Park
Theatre last night was a delightful
event in which scores of old timers
mingled once more as they used to do
way back in the seventies and earlier.
Dave Reynolds, who used to make the
rafters ring in the days when the brick
\ tavern was the social center OF the
ection, was the fiddler, and Uncle"
Ed. Seeley, another pioneer, helped
Jim along. There was time when
Woodward Reynolds tavern, now known
! as Franks Tavern, was the meeting
ace of the young people for a dozen
hiles around and sleighing parties from
points as far distance as Luthersburg
and Brookville used to come and spend
the night in merry frolic'and dance.
Many one on the floor last night re-
called those days with regret and joined
with zest in an event which may never
again be repeated. No one under forty
five was allowed on the dancing floor,
though the galleries above were packed
with younger couples envious of the fun
they could not share. Miss Sue Rey-
nolds acted as pianist. To the lively
beat of good old dancing tunes the
couples whiled several hours away and
broke up at last with sincere regret.
Among those on the floor were Jerry
Allen, "Cad" Hall and wife, Philip
Goodwill, Jack" McEntire and wife,
Elisha Evans and wife, Caesar Ferris
and wife. "Jim" Degnau, Squire Neff

THE JOKE BROKE SERIOUS
Three Young Girls at Steamboa
Springs Were Imprisoned
In Belfry.

Steamboat Springs, Colo, April 4.
Three high school girls were i'm
I prisoned in the belfry of the school
1 house from $50 to 1880 Monday,
due to an April fool prank which they
had hoped to play upon the prin-
cipal. The girls, Bernice Merrill.
Elliott Inskeep and Helen Gooding,
| had arranged to get into the school
! building as early as possible in the
morning. get into the belfry by climb
| ing a long ladder and then remove
the clapper from the bell so that
when the principal attempted to ring
the first call for school his energy
would be wasted.
Miss Merrill was late, however, in
Joining her fellow conspirators, and
it was about S:45 when she arriy-
ed at the netting place agreed up
on and FIVE minutes later when they
reached the foot of the ladder lead
ing to the belfry. They had just
commenced to work on the bell when
Professor Whitcomb arrived. and
hearing the commorion, above his
head, concluded as it was April 1
some of his pupils intended to hand
him an April fool, so he quietly re-
moved the ladder and permitted the
girls to work as long as they de-
sired without the slightest interrupt
ton. When the elapper had been re-
moved from the bell they attempted
to leave their lofty perch and found it
impossible to descend, and they real
lied they had been caught in a pretty
secure trap.
They took their imprisonment phil
osophically and put in the five hours
of captivity waving their handker-
chiefs and calling to everyone that
came within the sound of their voices
and singing their class songs. Short
ly after school had opened the pris-
oners were notified that they would
be released upon agreeing to apollo
giZe to the principal for the attack
upon his dignity. The girls haughtily
refused to accept release upon any
such terms and appeared willing to
remain where they were for any
length of time so they remained there
all morning. Soon after school had
assembled in the afternoon session
Professor Whitcomb relented and re-
placed the ladder, so the girls could
descend. After waiting some time
for them to do so he climbed to the
scuttle hole and told them they might
come down but they didn't. Again
he went up and requested them to de-
scend, but they didn't. A third time
he tackled the ladder rungs and this
time begged them to descend, but
they refused. They might be there
yet had not a phone message brought
Miss Gooding's father to the school to
assist the principal in making his en-
treaties effective, and when one of
the brave three was compelled to cap
iptulate under parental command the
other two struck their colors and ac-
companied Miss Gooding to her home
where luncheon was awaiting them.
The girls are all between Is and II
years old and belong to the best fam
lilies of the town.
