Tanners Home Destroyed Our citizens will bo pained to learn that O. B Tanner's residence on Mason Hill in Gibson township was destroyed by fire early last Wednesday morning. O. B. Tanner and B. J. Duell, who are engaged on a tie contract left for their work early and hardly commenc ed when they heard screams in the neighborhood of Mr. Duell's home, which is within one-forth mile from the Tanner place. Knowing that some thing serious was the matter, they started for their homes, and when they had gone but a short distance they were told that "Bert Tanner's house is on fire." Rushing to the rcene, the worried father was glad to see his motherless children standing under a Bhed. Bert rushed into the burning building, hoping to save his pocket book, containing $l4O and valuable papers, but the flames drove him back. Neighbors saved some furniture but most of which was scorched and ruined All of their bedding and clothing was destroyed. It is a total loss a:,d a ter rible blow to the more than unfortun ate citizen. The loss on house and furniture is about $2,000 with no in surance. Mr. Tanner was at Empori um last Saturday and is at a ions what to do. We sincerely sympathize with him, as do all our people, but what good does that do. It will not rebuild his home, neither will it clothe his children. But, friend Tanner is full of | grit aud hard work and will not sit down and "cry over spilled milk." The Best Outdone.

Smith, of Hotel Waruer, has made elaborate preparations for Easter dinner, next Sunday, from 1:00 to 2:30. The well known reputation of Hotel Warner for excellent din ners , especially upon stated occasions, is popu larly commented upon. Both Mr. Smith and his able assistant, Mr. E. E.

A False Report- Mildred Green Safe A report waa received hero on Tues day from Cleveland stating that Mildred Green adopted daughter of Mrs. M. A. Rockwell, ha! been killed on Euclid Avenue by an automabile. Mrs. Rockwell, accompaniei by Dr. W. II Bush, left here yesterday morning for Cleveland. Mrs. Rockwell wired this Thursday morning "Mildred Safe; home this p.m." After Mrs, Rockwell left Emporium for Cleveland, friends here got into communication with the whole sale millinery store where the young lady was employed and recei"ed an answer that "Miss Green had been sick and they knew of no acci dent." Proposed Hospital Well Received. The PRESS is pleased to hear so many favorable comments on the proposed general hospital for Emporium. All re llize tho dire necessity for such an institution in our county and wo firm ly believe if a suitable building can be secured for the purpose that liberal hearted ladies and gentlemen would seo to it that the necessary support was forth coming. We have a private letter from the general manager of the E. I duPont uc Nemours Powder Company, Wil mington, Del., in which they offer to soli the large building on Sixth street, admirable fitted for a hospita], and writes in reply to our request for a price on the above property: "How ever, if it was to be for a public insti tution, I have every reason to believe that our Company would make a divi sion of a certain amount and if there could be a reasonable amount raised we would try to meet your ideas on the line." Now, people, it is up to you. As we said in last week's PRESS we are will ing, and gladly, to give of our time and means to make the proposed hos pital a success but we must depend | upon your cordial assistance—especial ly the several physicians of the county. Let us be up and stirring. We have received numerous cheer ing encouragement from our towns people, as well as outsiders, and quote a few as follows: FIGHT FOR IT. I saw in the PRESS, last week, that we need a general hospital at Em porium. Why of course we do and ought to have one, by all means. I will give my mite as soon as anyone starts it. So, let us have it. Almost every man and woman in Cameron County would give what they could. Too much money goes out of the county that would be kept at home if we had a hospital. Keep up the fight until we get it; you will have lots of 1 help, as far as I have seen and by what j they say. READER. Cameron, Pa., March 21, 1910 Artificial Leg.

Laßar to our sanctum since his return of a Tour of tli3 World, covering a poriod of almost four months. The Judge is a keen ob server and what he saw he can describe in such a manner that you imagine you are one of the party. During his tour he tried to give the PRESS readers an minute account of nil he saw in an | abreviated form in several letters, ! which were eagerly watched for and enjoyed by all. .n addition to his letter he mailed thousands! of post cards and papers from every port to all friends he could think of and regrets he did not have the initials of many friends he had to miss. The Judge hoots at the idea of Japan preparing a for war with the United States and as nample of the greetings the Americans received in Japan he banded us the following, which we copy from a Japan paper—printed one-half in English—which expresses his idea of the true sentiment of the Japs: We, the Nagasaki Shimpo, have this day the honor ot extending the hearti est welcome of the 170,000 citizens of Nagasaki to the American ladies and gentlemen on hoard the s. s. Cleveland, known as the Clark's Tourist Party. Long before the d<,ors of the Rising Sun Empire were thrown open to for eign countries for free intercourse, Nagasaki was openedifor foreign trade, and she has the historical honor of being for centuries tho only mouth through which Occidental civilization was imported into the Empire. Con sequently we, the citizens of Nagasaki, are proud of ourselves in respect of cherishing a deeper, stronger and warmer good feeling toward friends from America, Europe and all the countries abroad, than that of our brethren in other parts of the Empire. It is our pleasaut and grateful re membrance that you, the Americans, j were very kind in awaking us from our long dream of isolation and intro ducing our country into the circle of ! foreign nations, and that since you i have been always true friends toward us. The whole nation of Yamato is deeply impressed and greatly pleased < with the way America entertained so i courteously and generously the party of our representative business men i who visited your country recently, and I we hereby take this opportunity to ex i press our heartfelt gratitude to you. We are very glad to have you visit ! this place to-day; and in expressing I our joy at seeing you, and our high ap preciation of your constant kindness ; to us, we are doing our best towel- I come you to this ci'y with our hearti- I est and sincerest, puod wishes. It is, j however, our deepest regret that we are not quite advanced in our arrange- I ments for receiving such a large party, ! to make your stay here really com portable and homelike. Moreover this is the busiest time of tne year with us, | as it is our custom to close all business 1 accounts by the end of the year and j commence every thing anew on New j Year's day; we must therefore beg j your pardon if we lack anything in ; courtesy or entertainment to make you J happy and joyfa! during your visit in | this town. In the end we wish you a very hap i py sojourn in our country, and hope j most sincerly that when you reach : your homeland after a pleasant and | peaceful voyage, you will be kind I enough to make your fellow country j men convinced that we, the nation of j Dai Nippon, have always the mo6t | true, warm and grateful feelings to i ward all Americans.—Nagasaki Shim jpo. Our genial friend is considering a 1 more complete account of his tour to | be published in pamphlet form, which | no doubt will bo interesting and in • structive. Hon. Josian Howard at Home. | Hon. Josiah Howard returned home Tuesday afternoon, after "rusticating" in Dr. Nutt's pri. | vate hospital, at Wiiliamsport, for two weeks | His numerous friends are pleased to see him | once more on his feet and rapidly recovering from his affliction.
