It. is encouraging to rote the pro grewi of the efforts of the State De partment of Health to drive out the "white man's plague." At the Cam eron county dispensary alone the num ber of patients registered since last November is 12. It is impossible to say what benefit has followed by acquint ing sufferers with their actual condi ion, instructing them how to seek re covery, how to guard against infecting other members of their families, and helping those who were too poor to purchr.se the necessary articles of diet. The benefit must be very large. In time a dispensary will be established in every county in the State, and this work will be associated with the main tenance of sanatoria in which many patients will be completely isolated. We have made a determined begin ning. There is no doubt that in the course of the next ten years the de ceased death rate from tuberculosis in Pennsylvania will herald the practical extermination of the disease. That is by no means a fantastic hope. At the last session of the Legislature a million dellars was voted for the pur pose of conducting the campaign. Dr- Dixon, the bead of the State Depart ment of Health, and f:is able lieuten ants have entered vigorously into the work. The gr£at results already ac complished are decidedly encouraging. f OV tUe Sum appropriated $400,000 is to be used for the establishment and main teujuiee of county dispensaries and the study of conditions that predispose to the«oiitrfiction and propagation of the £istiaß6 The remninder^^Boo,oo0 —is ibr need fftr estajjlj&hment of ()Q patientj may he arfify f&fiD thefr_fimilies and from'/he others. ff'-alj isolated, but, that ia impossttrfo. If tlifey ha VetjjM) disease utfl-ses will visit £hoOvfroti> titpetfo time to see that the gf gf are car ®ed out. * patients will be told <tertrfl*«»tW«»lvef>, "rf they are curable, and how to prevent tiie in fection from spreading. If they are too poor, milk and eggs will be furn ished them. Drugs are of little or no value in the cure of tuberculosis. A nutritive diet, living in the open air and rest, are the prime /actors. The best the physicians can do is to instruct the patients in these essentials. That is the object dispensary; and when the present sufferers and the public in general realize the great good that can be accomplished in that way, the work just begun in Pennsylvania will be re garded as the most invaluable in a humanitarian sense yet undertaken by the State. The dispensary is open every Tuesday and Friday afternoon from 1 to 4 P. M., at office of Dr. H. S. Falk. Tickling the World. Laugh and the world laughs with you, is an old and true saying, and if you want to realize the truth of it, just pay a visit to the Emporium Opera House on Friday evening, March 20, and see Jerry from Kerry. You may not find all of the world there, but you will find as many as can be accomo dated, and they will all be laughing with you, for Jerry from Kerry is one of the funniest attractions on the road today. A superior Concert Band and Orchestra are carried hy this Com pany. Don't fail to hear the free band concert afternoon and evening. Juvenile Band. Prof. L. S. Fisk has organized a Juvenile Band with sixteen members, between the ages of 12 and 15 years. If at any time during the day or night you hear a noise, don't get frightened, it may only bo one of the boys pound ing at the chromatic scale. Mr. Fisk has tried ito reorganize the old band, but sufficient interest has not been manifest and he has interested tho younger blood. We hope ho may be successful and give the town a good musical organization. Gillette Must Die. Governor Hughes will not interfere in any way with the execution of the death sentence upon Chester Gillette, convicted of the murder of Grace Brown, of South Otselic, in the Adi rondacbs in July 1906. The date set for the execution is the week beginning March 30. Goes to M. E. Conference. The following Emporium Methodists leave to.duy for York, Pa., to attend M. E. Conference as lay-delegates. F.

Special to the Press, Extra west, engine 465, on March 13th, struck a man about one-fourth of a mile west of Huntley tower, knock ing him of the track and breaking his right jaw, besides bruising him badly about the head and body.

Swartwood has been con fined to her residence for three weks, suffering from injuries received by fall ing 011 a sidewalk oti West Sixth si reet. It is a miracle that more of our pi- >ple are not seriously injured by the hor rible condition of the walks in all irtn of towL. Taxes are high now wi; iiout paying damages for injuries rec ived by the negligence of our Borough authorities. If the owners of property will not repair their walks the Council men violate the law by not posting tbe legal notice upon the properties, there by fastning the damages; on the prop erty owners.

March 14.—(Special)— Three times has Pennsylvania pre sented a candidate for the Republican presidential nomination without suc cess, but this yeur the Republicans of that state believe that in Senator P. C. Knox they have a candidate who stands a good chance of being accord ed the honor. In 1860 Simon Cameron was Pennsyl vania's candidate, the convention being held at Chicago. Mr. Cameron got 475 of the 54 votes from his state on the first ballot but was then with drawn and the delegation went to Lincoln. Gov. Jonn F. Hartrauft was the can didate of Pennsylvania in 1876 and the delegation was instructed by tho state convention to vote as a unit for Hart rauft which was done 011 the first bal lot. But on the second ballot tour delegates went to Blaine, though the remainder stood by Hartrauft until the seventh ballot when lie was withdrawn aud Hayes was nominated. In 1896 Senator M. S. Quay was pre sented as Pennsylvania's candidate and he received 58 votes from his state while McKinley got six. It was gener ally understood in this instance that Quay's candidacy was merely for poli tical purposes and that the senator had no idea of being nominated. In these three instances that Penn sylvania has had a presidential candi date, the vote of the state has been divided. Never before has there been complete harmony in support of a can didate, but the party has been split and thus has weakened its chances of success. Thie year the circumstances are entirely different. Senator Knox will go into the convention with the 66 votes of Pennsylvania solidly back of him and they will be cast for him not only on the first ballot but on every succeeding ballot. In addition he will have many other delegates, enough to make it plain from the start that his candidacy is an earnest one. Frank T. Beers Promoted. Our townsman, Mr. Frank T. Beers, who for several years has been in the employ of the Dupont Powder Com pany, and for some time gen eral manager of the plant at Empori um, was this week appointed general manager of the Company's extensive operations at Barksdale, Wis., the third largest plant owned by the Duponta. Mr. Beers left yesterday to as sume charge of the new position, but will not move from Emporium for the present. This is an important ad vancement for Mr. Beers and while we regret deeply the removal of Mr. Beers and his excellent family from Empori um, we congratulate him upon tSe con fidence placed in an Emporium boy, whose energy and faithfulness is recog nized by this powerful organization- Washbourn, Wis., will be Mr. Beers home address. Robt. H. Lyons, assist ant Supt., is in charge of the plant at Emporium and his friends hope he may be appointed Supt. He is reliable and careful. Resigned Position. Miss Carrie Huff, who has been the faithful chief clerk in Emporium post office for six years, resigned her posi tion to-day and accepted .a similiar position in the Austin postoffice, leav ing this morning to enter upon the dis charge of her duties.
