The reporters for the Daily Star are having their own troubles In this strenuous Old Home Week. 4 The un usual rush of work In the office and lack of workmen makes necessary very hurried, very brief mention sometimes of event deserving much space and on several occasions we unintentionally omitted items of real interest. In the account of the lodge parade yesterday the reporter jotted down each lodge as it passed but somehow got so interested in the beautiful emblematlo throne of t,o nnoAii who nreCeeded the Dautrh- Vters of Rebekah that he forgot to note I the fact on paper. And for the omls I gion of one of the pret'lest features of I the parade, we most sincerely beg the ladles' pardon. C. M. Pifor. of Falls Crook, formerly a newspaper man of PuBola. is in town to-day.' He will witness th old Mountain League game of lnwn ball this afternoon and renew memories of the 'days when he saw the team play a quarter of century ago. Mrs. Joseph Hollowell and Mrs. E. S. Vosburg, of DuBols, and Miss May Mann, of Punxsutawney, are visiting at the borne of G. M.

Before crowds that packed the street from Frank's Tavem to the National Hotei, Breton the aerial autotst, proved himself master of bis machine twice yesterday and gave a knockout blow to the hoodoo that has b;on hovering over him for six weeks. Sore, bruised, lame, but undiscouraged, he makes his de scents with absolute coolness and from his niton no one would suppose that he was fiiclng a terrible doath twice every day of his life. , In many of the kvp-the-loop attrac tions there is a mechanical precision and mathematical circulation which al most eliminates real danger. In Bret on's case, all depends on the quickness of his eye and hand in steering, and even this fails sometimes, as was dem onstrated Monday. The people of Reyn oldsvllle are witnessing this week the most daring performance given in America today. Arnold Reunion. The Arnold reunion will be held at Luthersburg Thursday, August 22nd. Mrs. W.

Eisenhard pitched great ball, having the visitors completely at his mercy. A combination of errors In th third, aided by a hit and a passed ball netted the visitors five runs and the game. The features of the trame were ' Sibley's home ' run hit, Elsenhard's pitching and the work of McEntlre, who put up a brilliant game at third base. The umpire had troubles galore In pleasing the players and was severe ly roasted by the team for dedisions wblcn seemed to them partial and which proyed disastrous for Reynolds- villo.
