Following the successful operations of the Free Dispensary for Tuberculosis in Wilkes-Barre and Reading, the State Board of Health has decided to open one in Emporium for the benefit of those people of Cameron county who are unable or unwilling togo a sanitar ium. Dr. H. S. Falk, of Emporium, will have charge of the dispensary, and until suitable quarters can be pro cured he will conduct it from his office. The class of people to be treated are those who are too poor to pay for medical advice. Pulmonary Tuberculosis (or con sumption as it is commonly called) is one of the most dreaded as well as most common diseases of the human body, and by opening free dispensaries in each county of the State, the Board of Health will try and educate the people in the proper methods to combat it. The dispensary is now open from t 1:00 to 3:00 p. m., on Tuesdays and Fri days of each month. Catalogue of the Rochester Busi ness Institute.

WASHINGTON LETTER. From our Regular Correspondent.] Washington, Sept. 2Sth. 1907. The President's return to the capital ha'j operated, as usual, to give impetus to the national government and every thing seems be moving more briskly under the stimuloas of bis energy. One of the Chief Executive, and one which exhibits his characteristic fair ness, was to announce that be would formally approve of the Oklahoma convention weieh will add five mem bers to the House and two to the Sen ate at the coming session. Mr. Roose velt made it very clear that be did not approve of the convention personally, that be shared the very poor opinion which Secretary Taft expressed of the instrument, in fact, be told some of his friends that were he to put his per sonal opinion of the constitution into words it would not be fit for publica tion. But he examined it in the light of the discretion conferred on him by Congress and finding no ground on which to reject it, within such circum scribed limits, he will formally approve it as soon as the certified copy and the certificates of its adoption reach him. Oklahoma has already elected her of ficers and members of Congress. The latter include two Democratic Sena tors, tiiree Democratic Representatives and two Republican members of the lower house. The chief opponent of the admission of Oklahoma h;,s been Speaker Cannon but the' President believed that be had no right to take political considerations into account when he passed on the problem. The President is keeping very quiet regarding his coming speeches which are said to be very interesting and straight from the shoulder, as his ut terances usually are. Neither will he reveal anything regarding his coming message to Congress except that so far as he now knows it will not contain any suggestions of amendment of the anti-trust law. The Attorney General has some ideas on this subject, how ever, and when he has laid them before the Executive they may appeal to him so strongly as to lead to their being in corporated in the message. It is prob able that the President will take ad vantage of the great prosperity of the country and the extraordinarily pros perous condition r T usury t" urge a considerable addition to the navy and the enactment of the navy pay bill, which will give to the enlisted men and officers of both the army and navy, material increases of compensa tion, running from a 30 per cent, in crease for the enlisted men of both arms of the service down to 10 per cent, for the higher ranking officers. National Committeemen Ward and Brooker, of New York and Connecti cut respectively, took luncheon with the President the day after he reached Washington and reported on political conditions in their respective stotes. They told the President that every thing in both states looked most favor able for a great Republican victory next Autumn. Mr. Ward said that New Yorker's were delighted with Governor Hughes administration and would renominate him and reelect him governor. He also expressed the be lief that the New York delegation would cast a solid vcjjte for Secretary Taft in the national convention. Mr. Brooker told the President that he was certain Connecticut would send a Taft delegation to the convention. The President expressed the utmost grati fication at this news. It is regarded as noteworthy that never since the President announced that the battleship fleet would goto the Pacific has a cross word been heard from Japen. It is known in inner cir cles in Washington that the Japanese legislation of the last session has sig nally failed of its purpose, the exclus ion of Japanese laborers from this country and it is regarded aa almost certain that the United States will be obliged to seek aa exclusion treaty with Japan during the coming winter. Of course battleships are not diplomats but it is the experience of every diplo mat that they have much to do with making successful the work of the most accomplished diplomatist. It is a fact that during the last quarter of the fiscal year something over 10,000 Japanese secured admission to this country and while many of these came in as teachers and merchants, most of them were found doing manual labor within a very short time after their ad mission, while the government was ob liged to expend $15,000 for railroad fares alone for the deportation of Jap anese who had sneaked in over the Mexican and Canadian boundaries. It is expected, however, that Canada's decision not to admit Japanese without passports will have the effect of check ing the practice of Japanese slipping into this country illegally. "Liberty and Union, One and Inseparable."— WEßSTEß. EMPORIUM, PA., THURSDAY, OCT< )BER 3, 1907 Big Purchase of Land. ] The Pennsylvania R. R. Co., haspur | chased 220 acres of land at Lock Haven j aud important improvements are con i templtaed. It is predicted that the P. i & !•]., may build shops at Lock Haven, i to be an auxiliary to the Renovo shops, j Would that (he Pennsy might again i try to make the needed changes at Em i porium. We believe our citizens would 1 insist upon fair treatment. Birthday Surprise. Tlios. Moore, and wife of St. Marys, accompanied by the following ladies: Mesdames Rhone, Hatch, Pass, Chittle and Smith, arrived in Emporium Tues day morning, bright and early, the ob ject being to make Mrs. E. C. Davy a surprise visit upon her birthday. Mr. I Davy met the party at the New Warner and drove them to the farm home on Four Mile, where the day was delight fully passed. We noticed the party were well supplied with baskets and bundles and we rather guessed they contained something good. Mrs. Davey is one of Cameron coun ty's most estimable ladies and always ready to aio in any good work. Had her many Emporium friends been giv en a "hint" no doubt Four Mile would have looked like a camp meeting. CHAHLES L. BUTLER. The visit of Miss Mabel Butler to our sanctum before leaving for her home at Painesvile, Ohio, reminds ye editor that we failed to call the attention of the citizens of Painesville to the faci that Charles L. Butler had located in their town and tell them who and what he is, for friend Butler might live there for 50 years and they would never here from him who he was more than his ! name. Mr. Butler came here 24 years i ago and married, at once taking an j active part in public matters. His clear conception of every public ques ' tion, deep thinking and constant read ing of the best literature, soon caused his neighbors to place him in the town j council where he remained for six years and labored zealously to the best interests of the tax-payers, when be resigned. Of pleasing address, Mr. Butler was popular throughout the county and served on the board of County Auditors for six years and re fused to allow the Republican party to nominate him for Sheriff, in a Republi can county, and continued to serve for ten years as a member of the Republi can County Committee, always hustl ing to elect its candidates and keeping his pen busy in advocacy of Republi can principles and its candidates—al ways to be depended on. The Repub lican state organization always relied upon his wisdom and integrity in eon : gressional and state elections and more ; than once he was depended on for ef j feetive work. He never wanted an of j flee, but was true as gold and would go his last dollar for a friend and ride day and night if necessary. Paines ville will find our former citizen, who always bore the best reputation for honesty, good government and correct living, a valuable acquisition to their city. None were more highly respect than Chas. L. Butler and family and we regret that circumstances compet ed them to leave us. Moved to Bolivar, N.Y. Michael Murphy, one of our respect ed citizens who has resided here for 30 years, being engaged in hotel busi ness has located at Bolivar, N. Y., where he has leased the Newton House. He left this morning, accom pansed by Geo. Narby, his clerk, to take charge of his new place. We hope the change is only temporary. Early Morning Wedding. Mr. and Mrs. E. L. Rendt announce the marriage of their daughter Maude Shirley to Mr. Carl Almon Blair. The ceremony took place at Presbyterian church Tuesday morning at seven o'clock. Mr. and Mrs. Blair took Erie mail on a trip west. Both are respect j ed and popular yonng people and have ! the best wishes of a large circle of I friends for a happy life.

For the second time in the history of Cameron county, we are to have a trial for murder at the court to be held here on the 14th of this {month, when Orrie O'Dell, who, on July 18th, 1907 deliber ately murdered his wife, May, leaving two children. Unless there may be some legal rea son for postponement the trial will be called possibly on the second day of court. District Attorney, J. P. Mc- Narney will have charge of the case in behalf of the Commonwealth. He has passed through similar ordeals and knows well how many obstructions are in the road. The Court has assigned as counsel for O'Dell, Mr. Fred Arn Johnson, the youngest member of Cameron county bar, and we may ex pect his maiden effort to be an able one, for he has been devoting consid erable time with the prisoner and study in the case. While it is often the practice of courts to assign young attorneys in cases of similar nature, but in this instance such is not, true, the Court complimenting Mr. Johnson on bis ability as a learned lawyer and the able manner he handles legal work entrusted to him. He is a graduate of Dickinson Law School, class of 190G, aud has for sever al years been closely applying himself. Our readers well remember that six months ago Mr. Johnson successfully passed the examination before the State Board of Law Examination for admission to the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania. We feel positive our young friend will ably battle for his client, although the great weight of evidence is against him. The Lunatic and the Lady. "The Lunatic and the Lady" com pany are Mr. Frank Christie who plays "The Lunatic," Miss Jeanette Mozar plays the part of"The Lady," Adele Hinton, David Firmann, Dan David son, Sid J. Deschane, Blanche Leslie, Amelia Baird Christie, Grace Perry, Katherine Schuyler, and a ho9t of others of the best comedy and musical performers that could be obtained. A special feature on which the company prides itself is the beautiful chorus christened "The Some Noise Girls" by a New York paper. "The Lunatic and the Ltidy will play the Emporium Opera House next Wednesday, Oct. 9. Found Dead. Last Friday, Chas. Drangel, drove a supply wagon from Fred Buehler's lumber camp on Hicks Run, to this place to purchase, or rather get upon the order of said Buehlor supplies (?) necessary for a sheep roost. About 1:30 p. m., he started for camp with a load of beer, whiskey and other sup plies (?) and when he reached the end of the new State Road he stopped in the middle of the road and was found by Geo L. Day, doubled up under the wagon. Thinking the man drunk, Mr. Day, assisted by Ray Haskins, picked up the man placed him in the wagon,unhitched the horseiiand pulled the wagon out of the road. About five thirty o'clock John A. Johnson, while driving past discovered that the man was dead. Justice of Peace, M. M. Larrabee, was notified to take charge of the remains, when he ecupannelied a jury composed of B. L. Spence, fore man, Wm. Brown, Edward Viner, W. S. Lingle, Geo. L. Day and Albert Murray viewed the body and adjourn ed until Saturday evening, when upon hearing evidence, rendered the follow ing verdict: "That Chas. Drangel, whose body was found Sept. 17, 1907, in a wagon on the West Creek State Road, near Day Bro's tenement house, came to his death from either falling from his wagon, or from excessive use of liquor." His remains were taken to Laßar's undertaking rooms and em balmed, being held there until wordds received from his parents in Sweden, who are said to be wealthy. Deceased aged about 48, came to America about twenty yeras ago and used to work at Brockwayville. This case of embalming is said, by all who have viewed the remains to be a fine piece of work. Mr. Rishell who done the work, says he can keep the body six months. Sold Out. Jas. J. Daugherty has disposed of his plumbing business to Frank Cavan angh aud left town for Bradford to day, where his family resides. Hand Crushed. Yesterday evening, about six o'clock, Gust Carlson, Jr., employed in Junc tion yard fell from a car while making a flying switch, his right hand coming in contact with the wheels. All the fingers of his right hand were partly amputated by Dr. Smith, assisted by i Dr. DeLong. ' Notice to Parents.

Many people in this vicinity are greatly exercised over report being made concerning the National Pro tective Legion and the action taken in last biennial convention. It is correct ly stated that the cash dividend of the organization payable each five years, will be materially reduced. Anauthori tive statement concerning this society so well known in our place, is to the effect that cash dividend in future will be declared upon a purely mathemati cal basis and that the amount to be paid each year, will not be known un til an actuary shall have made compu tations to determine it. In future the dividends will vary each and every j year, and the amount paid on each full rate certificate, will be changed to such sum as is the actual increment upon the certificates issued during the year, five years previous there to. This action was in accordance with demands made by thelnsuranceDepart ment of nearly every state in the union where the Legion does business and it was largely a compulsary change. However the change seems an admir" able one inasmuch as it assures the per petuity of the society and removes all obstacles exercised by the various In surance Departments and other offi cials in authority. Furthermore, it re moves all criticism as freely passed by Old Line Companies. From its Na tional Offices we gather information, that they earnestly approved the mea sure, and of its assurance of equity and justice to all the membership. To the public we will also state thas 925 rep resentatives were in attendance at the meeting and voted unanimously to adopt the change that was made. From the stand point of one who care fully reviews the conditions as present ed, good judgment indicates that cor rect action was taken. The first local presentation of"The Lunatic and the Lady" will be at the Emporium Opera House ou Wednes day, Oct. 9. It is said to be a very suc cessful musical comedy built along familiar lines but staged and present ed far above the average offering at popular prices. In fact, lew comic operatic shows at higher prices are better done. In this piece the lunatic haß an exaggerated time as it were The costumes and Btage effects are bril liant and the company in every way. The management will scarcely be able to offer a more meritorious musical comedy on the season. NO. 33. THE WEATHER. FRIDAY, Fair, SATURDAY, Showers. SUNDAY, Showers.
