EDITOR'S_ NOTICE.
XWHEN you see this item mark
ed with an X across its face yon
will know that your subscription
is due, or past due. Your name will
he found printed on each copy of the
PRESS, as you receive it and gives the
last date to which you have paid. Our
terms are 82.00 if not paid in advance,
51.50 in advance. Many, very many,
of our patrons allow their subscrip
tions to run year after year. This we
are unable to stand. It requires
money to purchase paper and pay em
ployes and we must insist upon the
payment of subscriptions due us. We
have been patient, but "patience has
ceased to be a virtue," and we now
propose to weed out all those subscri
bers who show no disposition to pay
for their paper. We labor hard to
give the public a good journal and
while a majority of our patrons realize
that fact and pay for it there are hun
dreds who never give the matter a
passing thought, taking it for granted
that we will always send them the
PRESS, whether we receive pay or not.
We have had an elegant sufficiency of
that kind of kindness. If you want
this paper pay for it—if you don't
want it, stop it and pay what you owe.
We know money is scarce in this
county, yet we also know that our de
linquents could pay if they desired—a
part at least.

Some War Pick-Ups.
A minature Morro Castle has been
erected at the Thousand Islands.
The Oregon fired 1776 shells in the
Santiago fight, and would have
brought the count up to 1898 if neces
sary.
Sam W. Small, the evangelist, for
merly of Georgia, has been appointed
chaplain of the Third Regiment United
States Volunteer Engineers.
A company of weaponed and rough
riding Oklahoma girls want to be off
to the war. It is likely, however,
sagely remarks the St. Louis Post Dis
patch, that they will be left at home to
marry and give the army soldiers in
the good old-fashioned way.
The leggings issued to the soldiers of
the First Kentucky regiment at Chick
amauga were all No. 3's—the largest
size. One fellow who seemed lost in
his pair exclaimed: "Say, will you
give me an old pair of suspenders ? I
want to hold my leggings up."
The total enlisted strength of the
regular army to date is about 44,000
men, being about 18,000 short of its
legal complement.
The total strength of the army,
regular and volunteer, is 227,000 as
now organized.
Uncle Sam's war mules and horses
have cost him $3,000,000.
In the opinion of the Chicago Record
"Santiago has not fallen. It has
arisen."
The popular song among the Eighth
Regiment boys at Chickamauga now
is:
We fall in line eight timet; a day,
We drill in sun and rain,
And pay two cents a day to read
What otherb do to Spain.
I was talking with ex-Secretary Fos
ter the other day, says a writer in the
Fostoria (O.) Review, when he told an
interesting story of Col. Roosevelt,
which is timely. When Mr. Foster
was secretary, Mr. Roosevelt was at the
bead of the civil service commission.
From that fact he was rather well ac
quainted with the guiding spirit in the
"Rough Riders." Mr. Foster tells the
following of Roosevelt, which gives an
idea of the sort of a man he is. Roose
velt is rich, and in Wyoming he has a
ranch and some ten thousand acres
given to cattle and sheep raising.
Every summer he goes out West and
spends a month or so. When he first
began these trips the cow punchers of
the plains had but little use for him,
not being averse at all to showing their
dislike. One day one of the cowboys
called him a dude, and said he ought
to be whipped. Roosevelt didn't care
about being called a dude but he
wouldn't stand the whipping part,
stand the whipping part. "We'll set
tle that matter right here and at once.
Pick your man, and we'll goto work
at it, said Teddy. The biggest, burliest
of the cowboys was chosen to adminis
ter the whipping. The representative
of the effete East and the type of the
Western plains went at it hammer and
tongs, and in about two minutes the
latter had more than he wanted and
cried for quarter. Beneath Roosevelt's
clothes was hidden lots ol muscle
gained at the college gymnasium, and
under his hat had been stored the
science of the art of defence, which
was unknown to the cowboys' rough
and tumble scraps. Ever since that
time, all the cowboys on Roosevelt's
ranch have been his warmest ad
mirers

A Fine Sermon.
Those fortunate enough to attend
the Presbyterian church last Sunday
morning, heard a very able sermon on
the present war between the U. S. and
Spain, by Rev. Robt. McCaslin. We
regret very much that we were unable
to publish the discourse in this week's
issue.
To Farmers.
I desire to inform the farmers ot this
and adjoining counties that I have
recently purchased a Fearless Thresh

"Stalled" a Train.
Tuesday evening special officer Reid,
of the P. R. R. Co., brought Thos.
O'Neal, of Driftwood, before Justice
Larrabee, on the charge of setting
brakes on train No. 60, at Driftwood,
early last Sunday morning. After
hearing the evidence, Mr O'Neal was
bound over for his appearance at Sept.

in default of which, he was referred
to the Mundy House as a convenient
place to"put up at" until court shall
convene.

On Friday evening, constable Harry
Hemphill received a warrant issued at
Clearfield, with instructions to arrest
Wm. Bush for stealing a horse and
buggy at Clearfield 011 the night of
July 2nd, also to arrest Elisha Bush,
charged with receiving and conceal
ing stolen property. The latter was

and committed to the county jail to
await the action of the grand jury.
Piano Tuner.
Prof. O. B. Hummel the piano tuner
is in town this week, but not 011 his
regular fall tuning trip. He sells the
Brett Piano which he claims to lie the
best piano made on account of their
micrometer system. You will say the
same when you see it, as they have
done away with the old style of fasten
ing the strings. Then talk about their
fine action which means so much
while playing. Write O. B. Hummel,
318 Bellefonte avenue, Lock Haven,
Pa.,
Heat nor dampness will not effect

PROMINENT CITIZEN PASSES
AWAY.
v '
DUNCAN S. ricDONALD IS DEAD.
DUNCAN SAMUEL MCDONALD, is no
more. He peacefully passed away last
Thursday night, surrounded by his
family, aged 70 years, six months and
two days. Mr. McDonald has been a
great sufferer for three years, yet bore
his affliction without complaint. He
was born in Canada, Feb. 2, 1828 and
came to Cameron county, in 1862 and
engaged in the lumber business. In 1868
he moved to Emporium and purchased
the McDougall & Mann property and
actively engaged in business. From
that time until within a year or two he
gave his personal attention to his busi
ness interests and prospered. During
the many years we had been intimate
ly acquainted with the deceased we
had learned to respect and honor him
for the very many excellent traits of
character. No citizen of Emporium
stood better with our people and bore
the good-will of more, in all walks of
'' r c, than Duncan McDonald. Of a
kind, sympathetic disposition, he was
always assisting the needy and all
worthy objects had his cordial support
and financial assistance. lie assisted
liberally in building our churches and
the various industries received,
promptly, aid from his purse. The
best we can say of our departed friend
is, that he was an honest man—truth
ful, charitable, kind. When grim
death claimed him he was prepared
and ready to cross to the other shore
to meet the loved one, and dwell in
peace and happiness for all time.
Peace to his ashes.
THE FUNERAL.
The funeral took place from the
family residence last Monday morn
ing, at 9:00 o'clock, and the very large
attendance of friends from neighbor
ing towns attasted the great respect in
which the deceased was held. Many
beautiful offerings of flowers were sent
to the residence by relatives, friends
and members of the family. After a
short ceremony at the home, Funeral
Director Itishell, who had so thought
fully and well arranged every particu
lar, prepared for the removal of the
remains to St. Mark's Catholic Church,
where High Mass was said for the
peaceful repose of the dead. The
great church edifice was crowded with
our people, gathered to pay that
last respect due to a friend and neigh
bor. Father McAdam, of Johnsonburg,
an old friend of the deceased, conduct
ed the services and preached an ap
propriate sermon from Gen. 3-29: "In
the sweat of thy brow shall thou eat
bread until thou return to the earth,
out of which thou wast taken; for dust
thou art and unto dust thou shalt re
turn." The Rev. gentleman feelingly
referred to the great friendship that
had existed between the deceased and
himself and spoke many words of
well merited praise to the memory of
the departed. The remarks of Father
McAdam were very appropriate to the
occasion and coming as they did from
an old friend and spiritual adviser, were
well received. After the close of the
address the friends took a last look
upon the face of the dead and the great
concourse of friends silently wended
its way to St. Marks Cemetery and the
remains tenderly deposited in the
vault, beside the departed wife, by M.
C. Tulis, S. S. Hacket, Riley Warner,
I. M. Reynolds, M. M. Larrabee and
Geo. A. Walker—old friends and
neighbors.
Thus closes the earthly career of one
ot our oldest citizens and leads us tore
mark that the more than ordinary
respect our people show to the mem
ory of the dead is very commendable
and must be very comforting to the be
reaved family.
FRIENDS FROM ABROAD.
The following friends and relatives
from out of town attended the funeral:
Mr. and Mrs. A. L. Good, (daughter ),
of Ridgway; T. J. Riley, Miss A. Mc-
Donald, Fred McVicker, Frank Fox,
Driftwood; Michael O'Connor, John
Haley, Ridgway; Mr. and Mrs. Jacob
Reed, Rathbun.
Sudden Death of a Former Emporium
Boy.
On Saturday morning the sad intel
ligence reached here of the sudden
death of Frank W. T. White, at Buffalo,
and the evening papers confirmed the
report by stating that he had died of
heart failure while in the act of taking
a bath at his home about 8:00 o'clock
that morning.
The deceased was twenty-seven
years ol' age and came to Emporium
when lie was very young, where he
resided until about nix months ago,
when he went to Buffalo and accepted
a position as night engineer at Salen's
packing house, where he was employed
up to the hour of his death While a
resident here he attended the High
School under Prof. H. H. Webber and
was considered one of the brightest
pupils in his class, especially distin
guishing himself in anything per
taining to mathematics. When he was
about seventeen years old he entered
the employ of the Emporium Milling
Co., as engineer at the Emporium
Roller Mills, which position he con
tinued to hold, with entire satisfaction
to his employers, until his removal to
Buffalo last January. Frank was an
industrious young man and his genial,
kind-hearted disposition won for him
a host of friends and made him popular
among his associates. Upon him de
volved the responsibility of having to
provide for the home, he being the
chief support of a dependent mother
who has the sincere sympathy of the
entire community in her great afflic
tion. He was a member of the Moun
taineer Hose Co., Excelsior Band and
the M. E. Sunday School Orchestra,
at this place, and in each of these
organizations his presence will be
sadly missed. He leaves an aged
mother, two sisters and four brothers
to mourn his early demise. Deceased
was supposed to have been in the best
of health, with the exception of a
slight derangement of the kidneys, for
which he was being treated by Dr.
Edward Bair. He was engaged to be
married within a few weeks to Miss
Nellie Condon, of Williamsport, form
erly of this place; the grief-stricken
young lady being present at the
funeral.
The funeral was held from his late
home at 102 Orlando Street, Buffalo,
on Monday afternoon at 2:00 o'clock
and was largely attended. Rev. Geo.
B. Newcomb, pastor of the Filmore
Avenue Baptist Church officiated,
assisted by the Rev. Dr. Patterson, of
the Seneca Street M. E. Church, and
the singing, which was very impres
sive, was beautifully rendered by a
quartette of young ladies from the
choir of the Filmore Avenue Baptist
Church. The floral offerings were
very beautiful; especially the touching
remembrances of Emporium friends
and of his associates in Buffalo. The
pall-bearers were all brother engineers
and members of Lodge No. 16 National
Association of Stationery Engineers,
with which order the deceased was
about to associate himself. The be
reaved family have the sympathy ot
our entire community and will receive
all the aid and comfort possible at the
hands of many Emporiumites now
residing in Buffalo, as well as the
many friends which the kind, loving
heart and sweet disposition of the
deceased had won for him among
strangers.
Death of John R. Chadwick.
One of the best known men in Mc-
Kean county was John R. Chadwick of
Keating township, who died on Thurs
day last and was buried in Smethport
yesterday. The funeral was held in
the Methodist church, Rev. Dr. Walk
er officiating, and was largely attend
ed by the citizens of that place and
surrounding county. In the "History
of McKean county," compiled some
eight years ago, it is alleged that Mr.
Chadwick was born in Williamsport,
in 1825. If that was the case his par
ents must have been temporary resi
dents there because his father moved
to Shippen, which was then a town
ship of McKean county, now of Cam
eron, in 1811 His father was a mere
boy when his grandfather settled at
the mouth of North Creek and cleared
up a farm.—Kane Republican.
Death of P. W. Furlong.
Mr. P. W. Furlong, formerly yard
master in the W. N. Y. & P.'yard at
this place and who served one term as
Burgess and chief of the lire depart
ment of Emporium died at his home in
Painesville, Ohio., on Saturday even
ing, July 30th.
