Railroad Rumors Galore. j Numerous railroad rumers are in ; circulation, all intended to benefit Em porium. When the PRESS secures re liable information we shall give our readers the same. Our Population. The population of Emporium over last census has increased about 20 per cent, giving our town about 2,500 pop ulation. Counting Sixth street ex tension, tannery row and Wiley's .ad dition, all cut off by the township line, we can safely estimate our population at 3,000. The New Principal. Prof. Call P. Bastian, ofMuncy, Pa., our readers will see by the minutes of the school board published in another column, has been elected principal of the Emporium schools.

There is certain to be a great demand for it; hence you had better order your copy of next Sunday's "Press" in advance. BRIEF HENTION. Trade follows the flag,but bankruptcy is about the only thing that would fol low the flag of Bryanism.—N. Y. Mail. Ex-Democratic Governor Waller, of Connecticut, declares war against the Bryan ticket. He calls 16 to 1 a dose of poison. The Citizens' Hose Company erected a large flag pole near their Hose house last Wednesday and unfurled a large flag. Rev. O. S. Metzler delivered an eloquent address upon the occasion. J. L. Reed, of Beech wood, was calling on Emporium friends last week He informed the PRESS scribe that he j hoped to rebuild his mill, which was j destroyed by fire last month, in the | near future. Bryan is a Populist on the Democratic 1 ticket and a Democrat on the Populist ticket, while Towne, the Populist, must j retire from his own ticket in favor of I Stevenson, the Democrat. It is to be 1 hoped the Populists know "where they are at" in this campaign.—Phil'a Press. ha Kent Kane, the prominent McKean county lumberman and rail road magnate, as well as proprietor of Kane Leader, the prohibition organ, j lias declared for Hon. J. C. Sibley for Congress and places his name at the head of his paper. Of course (?) money influenced Mr. Kane. The work on the new Kinzua viaduct is progressing rapidly and half of the spans are in position. This morning a gang of reveters were put to work and 125,000 rivets weighing 75 tons will be driven into the framework of the im mense structure so far built. The riv ets will be driven in by pneumatic pressure. —Bradford Star. We fully expected that someone in terested and acquainted with the facts connected with the Children's Day services at M. E. Church, would send the matter in, and as it was not sent in we overlooked it in our rush with the last issue. We learn, however, that the entertainment was a grand success and the decorations were elaborate and beautiful, and the educational collec tion surpassed that of past years. In speaking of the ball game at Aus tin on the Fourth the Autograph says: "One of the most interesting features of the day was the ball game between Austin and Sinnamahoning, which was won by the home team, the score being 15 to 17. It was a hot day but the boys played a strong game with but few errors. And let us remark right here that the Sinnamahoning boys are as gentlemanly a lot of ball players as ever visited 4ustin. The irrepressible Steve Collins, of Olean, did the umpir ing which, of course, insured ball play ing from start to finish." The farmer sits on his fence with a smile on his face that resembles a quar ter section cut of a watermelon, as he notices the price of wheat climbing up a little higher each day. One dollar wheat inside of ten days seems alto gether likely. This promises to be a great year for the farmer. Now if the Standard Oil Company would raise the price of oil to two dollars, where it ougfct to be, we would all bo happy yet. But with the price of bread-stuff going heavenward and the price of oil going hell-ward, what has the producer of oil got to be thankful for?— Franklin Leader. ******* *\ *n*&*& *\ ****** *\ *3n*r% *.%/***/*** *\ *\ *~t t*. **, * ** w* M ALWAYS BEST II HH STRIVING TO I 1/\ \/ GOODS fc* } - IMPROVE.
