The borough ought to be able to keep the other paved streets in the town in fair order. At the present time Gilpin, Findley and the business street are being cleaned by private subscription of citizens. Flndley street citizens have fallen in line and today that part of the thoroughfare from Mahoning street to the B., R. & P. railroad station is receiving a much needed cleaning. Levi McGregor has been hired to do the work and for the iirst cleaning the borough has increased the white wing equad to three.

But I didn't. t made him swear a solemn oath not to divulge the name of his benefactor, told him to see Assistant ICngineer Spalding at once, and sneaked "Are you a rotlman?" 1 gasped "I am," he said. "1 have had experience in Guatemala and other countries, and I am looking for work." For some time I have been pining for a change from Balboa to Pedro Miguel. Superintendent Walker said he would ask for my transfer, but was afraid the engineer in charge at Balboa would not want to lose so valuable a man. Last Wednesday I learned that there was a request for my transfer on Mr. Comber's desk, but that he would not grant It until he found a man to fill my place. As Mr. Walker intends leaving for the States on the 8th of May for a three-months' vacation, I was anxious to get to Pedro Miguel before he left. I was very much disappointed, because it would take some time to get a rodman from the States. On Saturday, however, I was platting cross-sections of the canal in the ollieo, when I noticed a young fellow hanging around the outside who looked as though he needed n job. He was walking wearily through the yards as though he had lost all his friends. I said to myself, "What if this is a rodman sent by a special dispensation of Providence to aid me in getting my transfer?" When I looked again he had gone. T!ut I "beat it" alter him and found him sitting oil an old French anchor, the picture of dejection. Continued on Page Two. iouse sums 01 busiest WEEK Of PRESENT SESSION Judge Oarbajal, the Diaz peace envoy, declared today that they had received no notice of the manifesto, but will probably receive the text before night. It is expected here that the peace negotiations will be rene\y'ed with a practical" certainty of an amicable outcome. The insurgents clearly consider the manifesto as an insurgent victory and none doubt that the place will come within the week. EL PASO, May 8.-—At an early hour today the insurrectos in A1 idero's camp were still celebrating the Diaz manifestation. The men were gathered bonfires, shouting, dancing and singing throughout the night. Some of the more radical insurrecto sympathizers are inclined to believe that while the scheme is a plot of the Diaz supporters to get the I insurrectos to 'ay down their arms I pnd then to reestablish the Diaz I dynasty with the army. Others say | that the promises should be accepted I in good faith. MEXICO CITY, May 8.—With the outlines of the Diaz message to the people In their possession, the friends of Francisco I. Madero, Jr.. declared themselves doubtful today as to whether he will accede to its terms. They point out that is a whale, ostensibly. Diaz promises to give the country the majority of the reforms advocated by the progressive element, and promises to resign when peace is restored. There js no guarantee that he will keep his word. (By I'nited Press.) IT. OF C. OOSVUTISa AT DUBOIS warm mm Will LIST Ho was immediately placed on the operating table. His condition was bo weak that the physicians were nfraid to administer an anaesthetic. Three stitches were really needed to close the wound, but only one was taken so that any pus that might be in the wound could eb liberated. The other stitches will b etaken should the man's condition improve. Donnelly was found lying unconscious by a policeman of the Fourth and Kace streets police station on Summer street, between Fifth and Sixth streets, at 2:30 o'clock yesterday morning in a pool of blood. He was rushed to the hospital and the physicians after an examination decided that the only chance tor sav ing his life was an operation. With Thread aiul Wcillr PHILADELPHIA, May s. One stitch was taken in the heart of Jas. L. Donnelly, 30 years old. of 3501) North American street, by the physicians of the ePnsylvania hospital to close a two-inch stab wound yesterday morning. The wound was made by a penknife, and such force had ben used that one rib was severed and the left lung punctured. The operation was a dangerous and difficult one, the stitch being taken between beats of the heart. Up until late last night the man was still living, but he was said to be in a very precarious conditon. Doctors Clow Wound in Man's Heart From Santa Anna we went to St. Peter, which is a replica of Santa Anna. The image here was in a standing posture, and showed the wounds in the side and the nails in the feet. The interiors of all the churches were a great deal alike, and we finished them as rapidly as possible. It Is a custom among the natives of Panama City to visit and spend a few moments in prayer before rlio altars of each of the nine cathedrals here on the eve of Good Friday. A small party of us took advantage of the occasion and went the rounds with the Panamanians. The women walked along In the middle of the street praying audibly as they passed from one church to another. The first church we entered was Santa Anna. It is situated on Central avenue and faces Santa Anna Plaza. The Btructure is over a hundred years old, and at one time was outside of the walls of Panama. It is built of masonry, covered with a plaster containing ground rock, and Is imposing, but strictly speaking, not beautiful from the outside. Ilut the inside, and particularly the altar, is worth seeing. The altar is decorated with thousands of artificial flowers and lighted by hundreds of candles, giving a most pleasing effect. We were walking slowly through the aisles admiring the altar, the richly tiled flour, and the massive pillars supporting the roof, when we were jarred clear to our heels by coming unexpectedly upon a waxen image of Christ, partly covered with a dirty white sheet. The hair was matted and covered with red paint in imitation of blood. The feet of the image protruded far enough from under the shroud to show the grime of years. It was a gruesome Bight. We stood there and witnessed several women place a kiss on each foot and a coin in an earthen jar for the privilege. As my bump of spirituality Is not properly developed I did not imitate their example.

Low temperature is predicted for the Pacific coast. Western States Slight Showers Predicted for Middle STOCK EXCHANGE SECURITIES SHOW GRADUAL IMPROVEMENT WAITINe ON ALTOOHA SHOPMEN Tonight, the third degree will be exemplified in the Driving Park and the ladies will be entertained in the Acorn club rooms. Tomorrow a large number of the ladies of the local knights will leave for the Clearfield county town, where they will attend the grand ball to be bald tomorrow night in the Driving Park. There are several social functions scheduled fo Wednesday and it is probable that a large number of the local women will remain over until that time. This .al'teruofm number of local knights left for DuBois where the Stale Knights of Columbus' convention is i" progress. PITTSBURG, More rumors atul prophesies and threats of extended strikes and general unrest among the shopmen on the Pennsylvania and li. & O. raid roads were rife today at the opening af the second wekof the Mayday walkout. The strikers claim large gains to the ranks, while the railroad officials declare the conditions are rapidly becoming normal. Forty car inspectors at the Union depot and 75 out of 109 men left at the Ornisb.v shope on the Monongahela division went out this morning. The situation still hinges, however, on the action of the men iu the big shops at AltQOua. ST. LOUIS TO BE MILITARY CENTER OF UNITED STATES The public utilities bill will be passed for the first, time tonight in the House and will be made special orders on other days so that it can reach the Senate next week. There Is an excellent chance of it passing the House unchanged, and Administration officials have hopes of it. being accepted by the Senate. The school code will likely bo sent to a conference committee without delay. The Senate will be informed tonight that the House has refused to concur in amendments made to that bulky piece or legislation and the customary procedure to adjust differences will be followed. It is hoped to have the bill reported back by the end of the week. The appropriation bills will be reported out In one batch by Chairman James F. Woodward, of the House Appropriations committee, this week. These bills represent months of work, and assurance has been given that they will be held within the revenue available for appropriation. A few bills of more importance than those for charitable institutions will be considered by the committee later in the week, among them the main highway bill, general appropriation, Capitol Park extension and similar measure5! which require large sums. The appropriation bills are to have right of way. School CmIv Appropriation ami Public Utilities Kill to lie Considered.HARRISni'RU, May S.—More important legislation will be considered this week than ill any week of the present session of the General Assembly and both houses will increase the number of their meetings in order to dispose of the bills which crowd the calendars. Appropriation measures to the number of :?0», school code, the public utilities bill, State highway and various departmental bills will be to the front, along with numerous measures to be reported out by committees in order to give them a chance to pass the few remaining weeks of the session. HEIRT LOVE « The plan is part of a broad scheme or reorganization. Five dl'visions will be created. The division of the east will have its headquarters at New York, llie central division at St;.

When this increase In business does set In it will mean a period of busiues activity and enthusiasm of a most substantial character. The Immediate outlook of tinstock market is one suggesting cautions discrimination in the selection of securities. But the undertone !s without doubt an excellent one and advantage should, I believe, be taken of any important declines to purchase seasoned dividend-paying stocks and sound bonds. This dot's not mean lual year of 1908 (that followed the financial upheaval of 1907), are the largest held ai this season In any year since 1898, amounting to $40,- 083,175.

Til ton and William Reynolds kept the first store in the township at Prospect Hill, in 1839. fn those times the nearest post office was at Luthersburg, which was then the largest town for miles around, containing two stores, a tavern, a blacksmithshop and maybe a dozen dwellings. Hut Tilt on Reynolds sesured the establishment of a postofflce at Prospect Hill. In 1 845 Til ton, who wanted to leave, brought the post office to his brother, Thomas (who had built a log house in Ueynoldsville), in n cigar box. and handing it to him, sale?. "Here Tom, is the postoffice." The post office having thus been moved, Thomas had the name changed to •Ueynoldsville. and Thomas was appointed postmaster. And thus Jteynoldsville had Its genesis. in the eastern part of Winslow township, in what is known as the "Paradise Settlement." Andrew M<- Creight was the pioneer settler. He went there with his family in 1 s:i3. The next persons to invade the for-j esls of that, township were Samuel, t David and Joshua Rea, Patrick | Kehlcy, Thomas Doling, the Yohes. Alexanders, Claytons, Broadheads and Ferises. Then came the L011- dons. the Catherses, the Strouses. the Syphrets and Deemers and Doughertys and the rest of the pioneers The tavern keeper at the creek in] IS.'Io was a man named John Potter.; It had been previously kept, according to Kate Scott's history of Jefferson county, by men named Banks and Caldwell. In 1 s:»7 David Reynolds, of Kit!anning, who had purchased !»00 acres of land on the site of what is now Reynoldsville, sent his son Woodward to look after it. and as the tavern was on the Reynolds land, Woodward took possession of it and became proprietor of the log hotel, to which he built an addition. The first settler in that community was Daniel Yeomans, who lived in a log cabin on the Fuller farm during the construction and for a few months after the completion of the Susquehanna and Wat.erford turnpike, in 1N122, when he sold out to John Fuller, who was a blacksmith. At thai time Reynoldsvlllo and the1 surrounding country was a dense pine forest. There wasn't a house between the dwelling of John Fuller, above Prescottville, and the log tavern on the east bank of Sandy Lick, two miles away. .Mr. Smith has lived longer in the Keynoldsvile community than any other man in it. He arrived there, h said, in ls:ii», with liis parents, Mr. and Mrs. Valentine A. P. Smith, wiie i he was nine years old. They located at Nvhat is now Rathmel, u mile and a half north of Hevnoldaville, having emigrated from Clinton county, New York. Tllton and William Reynolds, Samuel Sprogue,Francis Delornie and Olive Welch had preceded them by two years, having arrived in is:i::. They came from Shadagee, New York, Francis Delornie driving them all the way. 400 miles, with a team of oxen. lias Lived Longer in Keyiioldsville Than Any Other Man in the Town Last Saturday being the eightylift h birthday of John S.

When we have advanced well into the jungle Mr. Walker stations the men and Charley Penman starts the hounds. When they scent the game one of then »will f Jwe a sharp yelp, then another will join in, and Anally they all get busy. It is intensely exciting. Old "Jack," with his deep John Miller is the official butcher. He can carve a deer with great dexterity, and In order to keep him in practice fre generously turn over all that sort of work to him. Which he admits Is very kind of us. Frank Watklns loves to hunt, also. But he likes the shade of a friendly tree better, and is one of the best sleepers on the zone. Some day I expect to And him asleep in the embraoe of a big boa-constrictor. Carlton is a good hunter, too, But when he sees a deer comlntf toward him he lays his gun down and tries to coax it to let him pat it on the back. John Pennnian, becoming legweary, climbed to the top of a knoll about forty feet high and laid down to rest. When Charley accused him of being a quitter, he raised his linger in a solemn manner and Bald: "Sonny, I lust go as far as I can, and don't go any farther." Then he went to Bleep—and snored—I grieve to state. John manages to get his deer quite regularly, however. Charley Pennman shot a black and white snake twelve feet long (he said), and Mr. Walker reported having routed a thirty-five foot python. But I am beginning to be a little skeptical about Mr. Walker's snake stories. On Good Friday Mr. Walker, Frank Watkins, John Penman, Carlton and myself went hunting. • We started at 7 o'clock in the morning and did not get back till 7 in the evening. We got two deer, and the dogs killed a swamp cat. Mr. AValker killed both deer. I shot at one three times and frightened the poor thing a good deal. After It had gotten out of range 1 discovered that my left knee was not working right. It seemed to be wobbly. Which no duobt explained why I missed the deer. A report was widely circulated today to the effect that Henry Love, of West End, had fteen found dead In the woods abovt* Walston. One week ago last Saturday Henry was seen by some school children who were picking dowers, as he made his way overfthe hills toward Walston. Since that time he has not been seen nor heard of and his parents fear that scQme accident has befallen him, but they have heard nothing whatsoever concerning the finding of his body In the Walston woods.

At the present time Gilpin, Findley and the business street are being cleaned by private subscription of citizens. Flndley street citizens have fallen in line and today that part of the thoroughfare from Mahoning street to the B., R. & P. railroad station is receiving a much needed cleaning.

But I didn't. t made him swear a solemn oath not to divulge the name of his benefactor, told him to see Assistant ICngineer Spalding at once, and sneaked "Are you a rotlman?" 1 gasped "I am," he said. "1 have had experience in Guatemala and other countries, and I am looking for work." For some time I have been pining for a change from Balboa to Pedro Miguel. Superintendent Walker said he would ask for my transfer, but was afraid the engineer in charge at Balboa would not want to lose so valuable a man. Last Wednesday I learned that there was a request for my transfer on Mr. Comber's desk, but that he would not grant It until he found a man to fill my place. As Mr. Walker intends leaving for the States on the 8th of May for a three-months' vacation, I was anxious to get to Pedro Miguel before he left. I was very much disappointed, because it would take some time to get a rodman from the States. On Saturday, however, I was platting cross-sections of the canal in the ollieo, when I noticed a young fellow hanging around the outside who looked as though he needed n job. He was walking wearily through the yards as though he had lost all his friends. I said to myself, "What if this is a rodman sent by a special dispensation of Providence to aid me in getting my transfer?" When I looked again he had gone. T!ut I "beat it" alter him and found him sitting oil an old French anchor, the picture of dejection. Continued on Page Two. iouse sums 01 busiest WEEK Of PRESENT SESSION Judge Oarbajal, the Diaz peace envoy, declared today that they had received no notice of the manifesto, but will probably receive the text before night. It is expected here that the peace negotiations will be rene\y'ed with a practical" certainty of an amicable outcome. The insurgents clearly consider the manifesto as an insurgent victory and none doubt that the place will come within the week. EL PASO, May 8.-—At an early hour today the insurrectos in A1 idero's camp were still celebrating the Diaz manifestation. The men were gathered bonfires, shouting, dancing and singing throughout the night. Some of the more radical insurrecto sympathizers are inclined to believe that while the scheme is a plot of the Diaz supporters to get the I insurrectos to 'ay down their arms I pnd then to reestablish the Diaz I dynasty with the army. Others say | that the promises should be accepted I in good faith. MEXICO CITY, May 8.—With the outlines of the Diaz message to the people In their possession, the friends of Francisco I. Madero, Jr.. declared themselves doubtful today as to whether he will accede to its terms. They point out that is a whale, ostensibly. Diaz promises to give the country the majority of the reforms advocated by the progressive element, and promises to resign when peace is restored. There js no guarantee that he will keep his word. (By I'nited Press.) IT. OF C. OOSVUTISa AT DUBOIS warm mm Will LIST Ho was immediately placed on the operating table. His condition was bo weak that the physicians were nfraid to administer an anaesthetic. Three stitches were really needed to close the wound, but only one was taken so that any pus that might be in the wound could eb liberated. The other stitches will b etaken should the man's condition improve. Donnelly was found lying unconscious by a policeman of the Fourth and Kace streets police station on Summer street, between Fifth and Sixth streets, at 2:30 o'clock yesterday morning in a pool of blood. He was rushed to the hospital and the physicians after an examination decided that the only chance tor sav ing his life was an operation. With Thread aiul Wcillr PHILADELPHIA, May s. One stitch was taken in the heart of Jas. L. Donnelly, 30 years old. of 3501) North American street, by the physicians of the ePnsylvania hospital to close a two-inch stab wound yesterday morning. The wound was made by a penknife, and such force had ben used that one rib was severed and the left lung punctured. The operation was a dangerous and difficult one, the stitch being taken between beats of the heart. Up until late last night the man was still living, but he was said to be in a very precarious conditon. Doctors Clow Wound in Man's Heart From Santa Anna we went to St. Peter, which is a replica of Santa Anna. The image here was in a standing posture, and showed the wounds in the side and the nails in the feet. The interiors of all the churches were a great deal alike, and we finished them as rapidly as possible. It Is a custom among the natives of Panama City to visit and spend a few moments in prayer before rlio altars of each of the nine cathedrals here on the eve of Good Friday. A small party of us took advantage of the occasion and went the rounds with the Panamanians. The women walked along In the middle of the street praying audibly as they passed from one church to another. The first church we entered was Santa Anna. It is situated on Central avenue and faces Santa Anna Plaza. The Btructure is over a hundred years old, and at one time was outside of the walls of Panama. It is built of masonry, covered with a plaster containing ground rock, and Is imposing, but strictly speaking, not beautiful from the outside. Ilut the inside, and particularly the altar, is worth seeing. The altar is decorated with thousands of artificial flowers and lighted by hundreds of candles, giving a most pleasing effect. We were walking slowly through the aisles admiring the altar, the richly tiled flour, and the massive pillars supporting the roof, when we were jarred clear to our heels by coming unexpectedly upon a waxen image of Christ, partly covered with a dirty white sheet. The hair was matted and covered with red paint in imitation of blood. The feet of the image protruded far enough from under the shroud to show the grime of years. It was a gruesome Bight. We stood there and witnessed several women place a kiss on each foot and a coin in an earthen jar for the privilege. As my bump of spirituality Is not properly developed I did not imitate their example.

LOUIS TO BE MILITARY CENTER OF UNITED STATES The public utilities bill will be passed for the first, time tonight in the House and will be made special orders on other days so that it can reach the Senate next week. There Is an excellent chance of it passing the House unchanged, and Administration officials have hopes of it. being accepted by the Senate. The school code will likely bo sent to a conference committee without delay. The Senate will be informed tonight that the House has refused to concur in amendments made to that bulky piece or legislation and the customary procedure to adjust differences will be followed. It is hoped to have the bill reported back by the end of the week. The appropriation bills will be reported out In one batch by Chairman James F. Woodward, of the House Appropriations committee, this week. These bills represent months of work, and assurance has been given that they will be held within the revenue available for appropriation. A few bills of more importance than those for charitable institutions will be considered by the committee later in the week, among them the main highway bill, general appropriation, Capitol Park extension and similar measure5! which require large sums. The appropriation bills are to have right of way.

Til ton and William Reynolds kept the first store in the township at Prospect Hill, in 1839. fn those times the nearest post office was at Luthersburg, which was then the largest town for miles around, containing two stores, a tavern, a blacksmithshop and maybe a dozen dwellings. Hut Tilt on Reynolds sesured the establishment of a postofflce at Prospect Hill. In 1 845 Til ton, who wanted to leave, brought the post office to his brother, Thomas (who had built a log house in Ueynoldsville), in n cigar box. and handing it to him, sale?. "Here Tom, is the postoffice." The post office having thus been moved, Thomas had the name changed to •Ueynoldsville. and Thomas was appointed postmaster. And thus Jteynoldsville had Its genesis. in the eastern part of Winslow township, in what is known as the "Paradise Settlement." Andrew M<- Creight was the pioneer settler. He went there with his family in 1 s:i3. The next persons to invade the for-j esls of that, township were Samuel, t David and Joshua Rea, Patrick | Kehlcy, Thomas Doling, the Yohes. Alexanders, Claytons, Broadheads and Ferises. Then came the L011- dons. the Catherses, the Strouses. the Syphrets and Deemers and Doughertys and the rest of the pioneers The tavern keeper at the creek in] IS.'Io was a man named John Potter.; It had been previously kept, according to Kate Scott's history of Jefferson county, by men named Banks and Caldwell. In 1 s:»7 David Reynolds, of Kit!anning, who had purchased !»00 acres of land on the site of what is now Reynoldsville, sent his son Woodward to look after it. and as the tavern was on the Reynolds land, Woodward took possession of it and became proprietor of the log hotel, to which he built an addition. The first settler in that community was Daniel Yeomans, who lived in a log cabin on the Fuller farm during the construction and for a few months after the completion of the Susquehanna and Wat.erford turnpike, in 1N122, when he sold out to John Fuller, who was a blacksmith. At thai time Reynoldsvlllo and the1 surrounding country was a dense pine forest. There wasn't a house between the dwelling of John Fuller, above Prescottville, and the log tavern on the east bank of Sandy Lick, two miles away. .Mr. Smith has lived longer in the Keynoldsvile community than any other man in it.

Charley Pennman shot a black and white snake twelve feet long (he said), and Mr. Walker reported having routed a thirty-five foot python. But I am beginning to be a little skeptical about Mr. Walker's snake stories. On Good Friday Mr. Walker, Frank Watkins, John Penman, Carlton and myself went hunting. • We started at 7 o'clock in the morning and did not get back till 7 in the evening. We got two deer, and the dogs killed a swamp cat. Mr. AValker killed both deer. I shot at one three times and frightened the poor thing a good deal.
