- -" ... Close Soon.
FISHER WILL ERECT BUILDING
The requirements of the law that was
passed by the recent Pennsylvania
State Legislature compels the Bijou
and Wonderland nickelodeons of Reyn
oldsville to close up because the pro
prietors cannot comply with the
law in the buildings they ocoupy. -
The law requires a steel cage
"for the machines, a centre and
two side aisles, each of a width of not
leBg than four feet in the clear, and a
conttnous and unobstructed passage
way to the main exits.
M. M. Fisher, proprietor of the Bijou,
will erect a one story brick, 50 x 80 feet,
this summer, in rear of the Btjou,
which will comply with the require
ments of the law and will give him a
large room for picture shows and other
and more expensive shows. The room
now used for nickelodeon will be fixed up
for store room and the room now occu
pied by Rogers' cigar store will be used
for an entrance Into the new nickel
odeon or playhouse. The building will
be erected with the view of some time
later putting In galleries and making it
an up-to-date theatre. Mr. Fisher owns
fifty-six feet front and will not have to
buy the land from some other parties
for his new picture show building.

WILL CAUSE INCONVENIENCE
When the Summerville Telephone
Company lines were first built in Jeffer
son county the company made arrange
ments with the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company to use its telegraph poles in
connecting up some of the towns and
thus keep down the expenses of the new
telephone company. For the privilege
of stringing wires on these poles the
Summerville Telephone Company In
stalled telephones in the P. R. R. tele
graph offices and freight stations. Sev
eral years ago the poles on which the
Summerville Telephone Co. wires were
strung were cut down, but the 'phones
were not removed and the railroad
company bad free use of the 'phones.
Some time ago the Summerville Co.
decided to charge the P. R. R. Co. for
'phones same as other companies and
individuals who use its 'phones, but the
railroad company refused to pay for the
'phone service and on Thursday of last
week, June 24, after being unable to
make satisfactory arrangements with
P. R. R. Co., the Summerville Tele
phone Co. removed its 'phones from the
offices and freight stations of the rail
road company, and now when merchants
and other business men who have Sum
merville telephones, want to do any
business with the P. R. R. Co. they
will have to walk over to the office of
the company.

By looking at the date on your paper
first figures is the month, second fig

you are one of those in arrears, and if
you are just mail us the amount. Do
not expect ub to notify you by mail, as
it costs money to use postage stamps.

Prof. Nelson, One Of The Most Sensational Aeronauts In America, Has
Been Secured to Give Afternoon and Evening Ascensions In
Reynoldsville Independence Day, July 5th.
BALL GAMES, RAGING, FIREWORKS, GANGING AND MUSIC
Skesville Band With Twenty Pieces and the Royal Italian Band of Thirty Pieces Engaged To
Head the Civic Parade andJGive Free Band Concerts During the Day. Liberal Prizes
Offered in the Races. Dancing in the L O. O. F. Hall in the Evening with Good Music.
Display of Fireworks and Gay Illuminations. Confetti andgFun; Mirth and Merriment.
THE committee having in'charge the Fifth of July celebration in Reynoldsville has made good its
promise to arrange a program that will make the local observance of the day the biggest and
best of its kind in this part oi the State. Friday last they clinched their claim by contracting
tor.two sensational balloon ascensions on the afternoon and evening of the Fifth by Prof. Jack
Nelson, an aeronaut of wide fame throughout America. This will be the central amusement feature
of a day filled with entertainment in the way of baseball and football games, foot and bicycle races,
athletic contests, dancing, band concerts and pyrotechnical illuminations. Nothing that it is pos
sible to do has been left undone,by the gentlemen behind the movement. A9 has been repeatedly
stated, this is notajmoney making scheme, the sole object being to furnish a rousing good time for
everyone who comes here that day. Incidentally, reports indicate that the crowd is coming, too, in
numbers larger than ever since the glorious days of the Old Home Week. It is the only really big
celebration in the western central portion of Pennsylvania and with the balloon ascensionsj as its
crowning feature cannot fail to draw the crowds from far and near..
Of Nelson's great aerialieat little need be said. His gigantic balloon will be inflated on the ball
ground during the progress of the game between Reynoldsville and Eleanora. At its close the ropeg
will be cut and,the daring aerialist will mount with incredible velocity until the huge bulk of the
balloonjappears but a speck injthe.blue heavens. When at its zenith, thousands oi ieet above the
watching multitude below, Nelson willjcut loose his parachute and make his dizzy, death-defying
descent to earth; This will be repeated again in the evening, when, there is reason to believe the feat
will be witnessed by fully twenty thousand people.
Everybody likesjmusic and the committee has contracted with two bands to furnish concerts
that day. The Sykesville Silver Cornet Band of twenty pieces under the leadership of Richard Ram
sey, old favoritesjof the local people, will be present, as well as the Royal Italian Band, an .or
ganization of thirty Italian musicians who have gained much prominence in recent years. In honor
of the presence of these musicians Italian orders having several hundred members in the county have
arranged to be present and march in the parade.
In honor the day and of the city's guests that day, it is asked that all local people decorate their
places of business or residence on the Fifth. An effort is being made to have arches erected and dec.
orated and if this is done, with the aid of private decorations Main street will present a very beau
tiful appearance.
Most of the races and contests will be conducted on Main street where all may witness without
charge. The amusement committee has received many applications to enter the various contests,
the liberal cash prizes making it well worth any person's time to compete. .
Beside the balloon ascension in the evening, there will be a display of fireworks and gay street
illuminations rarely seen. Confetti will be on sale and with a big, jostling, merry crowd ou the
street the day will close with a carnival of fun and merriment worth a year of life to participate in.
For those who wish to dance, a ball will be held in the I. O. O, F. hall. A good orchestra has been
engaged for the occasion.
The programjpresented below is incomplete and subject to change. Everything advertised, how
ever, will be given and probably more.
THE PROGRAM OF THE DAY.
Model of Palestine.
Tbere are at Chautauqua two things
of unique and special interest; one is
the model of Palestine as laid out near
ly a (feneration ago, a raised map of
300 feet in length, and by the unsolicit
ed gift of a friend of Chautauqua, re
modelled and repaired in 1907. Fre
quent lectures are held there. The
other object referred to above is the
Hall of Christ, a beautiful building of
stone and brick, begun in 1899 and fin
ished in 1908. This is designed for use
in classes In the Life of Christ, and for
services of devotion and praise. It will
contain a library of books dealing with
the Life of Christ, and a collection of
photographs illustrating the . same
theme. The building is designed to
symbolize the spirit of Chautauqua,
Made Good Impression.
Rey. Charles E, Rudy, pastor of the
Trinity Lutheran church, who took up
his work at this place last Sunday,
made a very good impression with his
congregation, and things look favorable
for a successful pastorate here. He is a
genial and pleasant gentleman. June
has been a busy and somewhat exhilar
ating month for Rev. Rudy, one he will
never forget, for In this month he
graduated from the Lutheran Seminary
at Philadelphia, was ordained to the
ministry, married a wife, moved to
Reynoldsville and began his first work
as a regular pastor of a church.
The Town Kicker.
The kickers on the farm are not so

town kicker, remarks an exchange.
