C. W. Stone Growing in Favor.
it is manifest that the sentiment in
Clinton county is drifting toward Congressman
Charles W. Stone, of Warren, as the candidate
for Governor of Pennsylvania. Mr. Stone would
be a strong candidate from the fact that he has
never been connected with any factional rivalry,
and hence he would control a large vote.—Mill

Hemmorial Service.
There will be a Union Memmorial
Service, under the auspices of the W. C. T. U.,

officers of the National W. C. T. U., in celebra
tion of the birth of the late Hon. Neat Dow,and
also in commemoration of the death of the late
Miss Francis E. Willard. The ladies of the
Union have arranged a very interesting program,
interspersed with special singing by some of the
best musical talent of the town. Short addresses
will be made by Revs. McCaslin and McNeil who
arc expected to be at their best. Let the people
of our borough, without any respect to political
party or religious affiliation, turn out and do
honor to the memory of the renowned Neal Dow
and Francis E. Willard, both of world-wide fame.

Balancing Books With Spain.
Nations, as well as corporations,
must balance their books from time to time.
Old scores must be wiped out. New credits must
be made or denied. The dajlof stocktaking does
not come so frequently to governments as to
business houses, says the Philadelphia Inquirer,
but when they do come settlements must be final
and balances duly settled in full.
At present the United States is balancing books
with Spain. This is what she finds:
Item: A full-Hedged war that has been waged
within a few miles of our coast for three years.
Item: A loss of millions of dollars in trade
with Cuba.
Item: Imprisonment of citizens of the United
States, the same being held prisoners for months
without just or due cause—proved by the fact that
they were immediately liberated when proper
pressure was brought to bear.
Item: Millions of dollars expended at the re
quest of Spain to suppress filibustering.
Item: Panics in commercial and financial cir
cles due to strained relations between this coun
try and Spain.
Item: Disturbance and delay of public busi
ness due to the friends of Cuba taking advantage
of conditions to introduce debates upon the war
at any and all timely and untimely occasions.
Item: Less of thousands of dollars sen! as
charity to feed the starving and clothe the desti
tute, brought to that condition by Spanish
methods of warfare; and which she frankly con
cedes she cannot care for.
Item: The loss of one fine warship, costing
five millions of dol.ars.
Item: The lives of two hundred and fifty-three
American sea*:.en.
Item: Cost of investigating the Maine disaster,
for no matter how the court reports, the catas"
tronlic would hardly have oceured where and
when it did had the rebellion been ended in
proper time.
Hi■ "lillions of dollars expended in placing
the co.'p'.ry in a condition of'def'ens .
Against these items Spain merely presents a
bill for filibustering expeditions said to have
coine from the United States. With some justice
she claims that the present insurrection lias bee.,
nourished from these shores, and for this she
might demand payment. That is a small charge
against the statement of her heavy indebtedness
to this country. Even granting her charge with
out dispute, there isstila tremendous bill for
which President MoKinley will demand prompt
and final payment. He appears to have determ
ined to settle accounts with Spain now and for
all time—with peace, if Spain permits it; with
war, if she insists.

The Creamery.
The Emporium Creamery is moving
along nicely and orders are daily in
creasing for butter. Milk is coming in
every day, about one thousand pounds
a day being the amount received this
week We hope the farmers will see
the importance of supplying the milk
required to make the institution a suc
cess, thereby increasing the dairy busi
ness of the county.
'•Cannot Do Without It."
Hon. Sol. Ross, of Wharton, Pa., and
for many years a resident of Empori
um thought he would try 1898 without
the PRESS arid accordingly notified us
that he wished us to discontinue. Last
week we received a letter from him
saying: "Please send the PRESS, I
cannot do without it." Judge Ross
has been a subscriber since the first is
sue of this journal—thirty-two years—
and naturally would feel lost without it.

Joseph Parsons Dead.
A telegram received this morning
from Lock Haven, from J. F. Parsons,
conveyed the sad intelligence that his
father, Mr. Jos. Parsons, was dead.
Mr. Parsons was well and favorably
known in Emporium, where he often
visited with his son. We had known
the venerable gentleman for many
years and esteemed him very highly.

the Emporium & Rich Valley R. R.
We are glad to learn that the matter
has been settled and Howard & Co.
have purchased the vacant plot of
grqynd immediately this side of their

have men engaged filling up the low |
places and it is their intention, we are j
informed, to fit up an amusement park i
—a place for ball games, circuses and j
other sports. Just what we need in \
Emporium and Mr. Josiah Howard is j

Resigned.
John J. Hinkle, who has been clerk
at the Warner llouso for the past ten
years, resigned his position last week j
to embark in other business. Mr. j
Hinkle during his -residence in Empo- |
rium has taken an active interest in j
public affairs and is justly popular 1
with our citizens. As chief engineerof i
Emporium's Fire Department he has
been untiring in his efforts and the |
present efficient standing of our depart- j
ment is mainly due to his active and
constant watching and work. We re- I
gret that his new business necessitates
his retiring from the position ho lias
so faithfully held for four terms. The 1
citizens of Emporium owe him a vote j
of thanks for his zealous labor in their j
behalf. The recognition he has received i
at the hands of the Republican party i
is well merited, for no party worker
in this county has been more loyal i
than Jno. J. Hinkle He has always
been in the front rank at all times and j
could be depended upon. Honest, re
liable and courageous ho will give sat- I
isfaction to his superiors and command I
respect in any capacity. Mr. Hinkle |
wili bo located in Philadelphia but
maintain his residence in Emporium, :
where his wife will remain.

HAYES & HURTEAU.
: To the Patrons of the hmporium
Creamery.
In order that a strictly first-elans
| article of butter and cheese, and that
| the top price for these articles may bp
secured, and thus the patrons' profits
increased and made satisfactory, it is
strongly urged by the officers that the
following rules and regulations be
scrupulously followed in every detail:
I.
FEEDING. —Furnish your cows with
pure water. Do not allow them to
drink from stagnant pools nor filthy
streams. Give them any good ordinary
feed but be careful in feeding turnips,
ruta-bagas, silage, gluten feed, and
all strong smelling and strong tasting
feeds. Such should be given just after
milking, and not before, nor during
the milking
n.
CARE OF STABLES AND MILK
ING.—Just before milking, the stables
should be carefully cleaned, and the
floor covered with some dry absorbant,
such as cut straw, or chaff, or forest
leaves, or sawdust, or road dust, or
land plaster—any of these will do.
Then each cow's udder and teats
should be carefully washed, by means
of a cloth or sponge and water, and
then dried with a clean dry cloth; or
be thoroughly brushed with a soft
brush, and all loose dirt be brushed
from the sides and legs of the cow.
During the milking the teats should
be especially kept dry. Wet^teat-milk
ing is an abomination that should
never be indulged in nor tolerated by
any one.
111.
CARE OF MILK AFTER DRAWN.—
Immediately after a cow is milked her
milk should be strained through at
least two thicknesses of ordinary mus
lin, or four thicknesses of cheese cloth,
and should be set outside of the stable
in some place where it will not absorb
any bad odors from the stable nor
from any other source, and where no
clogs, cats or other animals can gain
access to it. After all the cows are
milked the milk container should be
set in a tub or half-barrel filled with
either very cold water, spring water,
or ice water, covered, and allowed to
remain there until started for the
creamery. The night and morning's
milk should under no circumstances be
mixed together until both are per
fectly cool. This is especially im
portant as the mixing of the two when
one of them still contains the animal
heat will spoil them both. BE CAREFUL
OF THIS.
IV.
UTENSILS.—AII pails, cans and
strainers should be well washed with
soap and water, and then scalded.
Scalding does not mean to use simply
warm or hot water. It means they
should be thoroughly rinsed with
BOILING water. This should be done
every time they are used.
V.
Get the milk to the Creamery as
early in the morning as possible—not
later than 9:30 o'clock. Nine o'clock
would be better.
The is the patrons' part of the
work; and if these directions are care
fully followed we will guarantee a
strictly first-class, high grade article
that will be highly satisfactory alike
to producer, manufacturer and con
sumer, and that will line the patrons'
pockets with dollars.
