Battle of lbs High Schools. -Fame
Is but a bubble after all and
that should soothe the wounded feel
ings of the Reynoldsville high school
basket ball team. Tbey have put up a
first-class game this year and bad
good reason to believe themselves
destined for championship honors.
They may be, even yet, but a certain
bunch of athletes from DuBols put a
bad dint in their halo Monday evening
In Evans' skating rink. It was re
markable game, abounding in excite
ment, but all too rough for skill or tbe
pleasure of tbe big crowd present. In
the first half the Reynoldsville boys
played well, keeping the score very
close and soma pretty goal throw
ing was done by Hoffman and Sykes.
But It seemed to be a test of endurance
and In this tbe DuBois players had a
shade the better of the argument. At
the close of the game the score stood
34-19 In favor of DifBols and the cheer
ful yell that went up was from tbe
throats, of the DuBols victors. What
the Roy nolds ville players thought of
the lamentable roughness that cbarac
terized the game may be seen in the
High School , Bulletin. . In justice. Jc
them it should be stated that they were
more sinned against than sinning and
most of the blame is due to the DuBois
referee who made no effort to prevent it.
NOT GUILTY OF MURDER.
Joseph Leichner Sentenced to Hunting
don Reformatory.
Joseph Leichner, the seventeen-year-old
young man of Reynoldsville, who
shot John E. Pyne, nlne-vear-old lad at
Helvetia December 9, 190(1, was tried in
the Clearfield csunty court last week on
charge of murder, and the jury on the
case brought in a verdict of not guilty.
Leichner went on the witness stand and
told a straightforward story of how the
shooting ocourred, denying any Intention
of Bhooting and claiming he thought he
bad his finger on the safety trigger
when the shot was fired. After the
verdict of the jury was announced an
Indictment was read charging Leichner
with involuntary manslaughter, to
which he plead guilty, and Judge Smith
sentenced him to the Huntingdon re
formatory to be released within the
year pending good behavior. Lawyer
Clement W. Flyan, of Reynoldsvllle,
was Lelobner's attorney and ably han
dled the defense.
Birthday Party.
On Friday of laBt week a few friends
anJ neighbors met at the home of Mr.
and Mrs. John I. McDonald, on Beech
St., to celebrate the birthday of Mrs.
McDonald. The friends began to gath
er about 10 00 a. m. and took possession
of tbe bouse, and at 12.00, noon, all sat
down to a splendid and abundant din.
ner. Free conversation was Indulged in
until 2 30, at which time the friends
were called to order and Rev. Dr. A. J.
Meek, in a few timely words, presented
Mrs'. McDonald with a sum of money
and several beautiful and substantial
presents, consisting of glassware,
pictures, dry goods, eto. Rev. Dr. J.
A. Parsous led In a feeling and touch
ing prayer, In which he commended
all to the care and keeping of God.

wife, Rev.' Meek and wife, Mrs. Carl
Hutcblns of Brookville.
Tbe occasion was a very pleasant one
and all joined in well wishes for the
remaining days of Mr. and Mrs. Mc

"The Real Widow Brown."
Unlocked for complications frequent
ly arise when people, tired, with love's
young dream, seek a congenial partner
through the medium of the matri
monial papers. This Is what happens
in the case of "The ' Real Widow
Brown," a clean, farcial play ' bubbling
over with jollity, which will be seen at
the Park theatre to-night, Feb. 20. In
most plays the characters are made to
bring ' about situations . which are
strained and unnatural, but In Mr. A.
Q. Scammon's latest for public approval
old lines have been ignored. Tbe real
widow Is impersonated by an audacious
young man while another gay young
man "makes up" and assumes to be an
old ddacon who believes he has found
his affinity through the Matrimonial
Times, and with whom he has bcon in
correspondence. The mistaken iden
tities furnish excellent opportunities
lor fun and merriment. The situations
and climaxes are irresistibly funny, and
tbe combined efforts of a clever company
of farceurs to amuse and create a vast
deal of laughter Is crowned with suc
cess. Tbe music Is bright and . up-to-date.
The costumes are artistic and
the singing and dancing specialties are
uncommonly good. ' --.
Flag Day.
The strength and safety of a commun
ity consist In the virtue, intelligence
and patriotism of its youth. The safety
of a nation is not In the bands of its
rulers, but in tbe Uvea of its people.
Children should be taught to love their
country, to value its institutions, to
appreciate all that patriotism stands
for. ' Friday, February 22, 1907, is
therefore set apart as Flag Day. It is
suggested that each teacher arrange a
literary program for part of the day.
Send a cordial iuvitatlon to your pa
trons to be present. Make suitable
decorations. Let at laast one flag
float in or over every school in the
county on that day. Sing patrlotlo
songs. Let the program be a patrlotlo
one pertaining to the flag and appro
priate to Washington's birthday. .
Popular Play.
Dayton, Ohio, Journal: "Drummer
Boy of Shlloh." Last night witnessed
the opening performance of this popu
lar play, and to say it was a grand
success is not paying too much credit.
For, a first night performance it was
tbe best ever given in Dayton. Tbe
cast is all that could be desired and
"caught on" at once with the audience.
Fred B. Wigle, as "Uncle Joe," is the
finest negro character ever seen here.

WILL GOTO CLYMER
G. W. LENKERD HAS ACCEPTED
NEW POSITION. ,
After March 1st he will Act as Secretary
and General Manager of the Clymer
Brick and Fire Clay Company at
Clymer, Indiana County.
G. W. Lenkerd, who has been si-ore
tary and manager of the Rcj noM-ville
Brick & Tile Company since that ' com
pany was organized In 1!X2, has resigned
bis position with tbe above compmiv, to
take effect March 1st, to accept petition
as secretary and general manager of
the Clymer Brick & Fire Clay Co. plant
at Clymer, Indiana Co. This Is u large
plant owned by eastern capitalists.
The main office of the company is at
Indiana, but the ' plant is located at
Clymer, nine miles east of Indiana.
Clymer 1b a new town, one year old, and '
has a population of 2,000. It has two
railroads, P. R. R. and N. Y. C, and is
connected with Indiana by ti'olley.
Mr. Lenkerd accepted tbe principal
Bhip of the public schools in this
borough In August, 1800, and held that
position until the close of the term In
1002, and he did excellent and efPutent
work. He raised our schools to a high
er standard than they had ever attained
before, giving our young peop'e ad
vantages equal, and in some respects
suuerlur, to tbe advantages given te
pupils in larger towns. We claim that
great credit is due Mr. Lenkerd for the
high standing of our public schools.
He was progressive.
In August, 1902, when tbe Reynolds
ville Brick & Tile Company wtts organ
ized, Mr. Lenkerd was selected as
secretary and marager, and ho took
bold of that work, although new to
him, with the same vim and push that
he had- put into the school work, and
he baa made a success of tho work
for this company, wbicb is now well
established and doing a (rood businsss.
The Clymer Brick & Fire Clay Co,
made no mistake in selecting Mr. Lenk.
erd'for secretary and general manager,
if they want a hustler in that position;
: We are Borry to lose Mr. and Mrs;
Lenkerd, who are highly esteemed by
those acquainted with lb era.
; Clyde Murray has been selected for
the position of secretary for the Brick
& Tile Co., to succeed. Mr. Lenkerd.
Mr. Murray is teaching school at Slgel
this term, but has resigned that
position to accept the new one. ' .
The Good Work Goes On.
During tbe evangelistio moetlngs
held in Reynoldsville several of tbe
christians of Rathmel . attended and
were awakened to tbe fact that a union
meeting held In Rathmel may result in
the saving of souls. Sabbath evening,
February 10th, they decided to put
forth an effort to briDg about an evan
gelistic meeting. Cottage prayer meet
ings will be held each week, as well
as the regular prayer meetings . in
the churches, until the meetings are,
Started. The plan is to have all tbe
ministers who preach , here work to
gether and if possible to get an evan
gelist to come and carry on the meet
ings. W. G. Harris has been appointed
as leader In tbe work until tbe meetings
begin proper. Say, christian, where,
art thou ? Why not join in and help in
tbe work of the Lord ? Sinners are'
looking at you for not being in the work,'
so lay down everything and use your
Influence for good. .WORKER.
Overwork.. , .
' More accidents Involving loss of life.'
have taken place on the railroads in
the past year or two than in any pre'
vious period of equal duration. In
this particular tbe United Stales baa
won a bad pre-eminence among the
great countries of the world. There
are several times more fatalities in
this country on ' the railways every
year than there are in England, Gets
many or France, in proportion to tbo
number of persons traveling. Over- .
