THE CAMERON COUNTY PRESS. ESTABLISHED BY C. E. GOULD, MARCH, 1866, VOL. 3:3. NOTICE. XWHEN you see this item mark ed with an X across its face you will know that your subscription is due, or past due. Your name will be 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 §2.00 if not paid in advance, $1.50 in advance. Many, very many, of our patrons allow their subscrip tions to run vear 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 lias 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 j give the public a good journal and t while a majority of our patrons realize | that fact and pay for it there are bun- j dreds who never give the matter a I passing thought, taking it for granted j 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. 10 PAGES. Business Cards. B. W. GREEN, ATTORNEY-AT-LAW, Emporium, Pa.

Emporium, Pa., Aug. 8, 1898.—24tf A Jlodel Farm. In a sightly place, between 400 and 500 feet above the valley, on one of the prominent hills which surround Warren, with a background of native forest, standing on the brow of the hill, is the summer home of Hon. C. W. Stone. Some distance back of this comforts able country home is the Airmont dairy farm, stocked with a registered herd of Jersey and Holstein cows, well cared for in comfortable barns, arrang ed for wintering and storing the crops that are produced by good farming and judicial fertilizing of the cultivated land. The nearness of the farm to the Warren Electric Power company's plant makes it practicable to use elec tricity, power being used is generated by means of a 15 horse power motor and used whenever power is needed. Es pecially is this convenient in putting up ensilage, of which large quantities are used, and it is considered one of tHe best milk-producing forages of the farm. All the domestic stock on the farm shows great care in selection, and Mr. Stone does not object to riding behind some fine roadsters when at home dur his vacations,having laid aside tiis official duties. It is then that he finds his farm a resort for rest and recrea tion and a never-ending source of pleasure in watching the progress of improvements, such as making roads, setting out varieties of trees and shrubs, obtained at home and abroad, and there is no greater enjoyment for our worthy Congressman than the taking of a hand in this work himself. Mr. Stone's knowledge of horticul- I ture is extensive as is evidenced by ' his farm and as can be seen at his Warren residence where the grounds are covered with a fine variety and collection of ornamental and fruit bearing trees. Among the ornamental i variety are the English oak and wal i nut and the St. Helena weeping willow. At the close of President Harrison's campaign in 'BB the large log cabin that was erected on the late Judge Scofield's lot on Liberty street by Har | rison's supporters, and which did ex ] cellent service in the progress of the ! local campaign to the Republican j cause, was purchased by Mr. Stone j and carefully taken down, removed land re-ereeted at a conspicuous point j on his farm west of Warren, a large j old fashioned' fire-place having been ! added for parties frequently given by j the family of our Congressman, and it ; is a common saying: "A party up at ' Stone's to-night; see the light." A gas* well on the farm furnishes ' gas for heat and light, and when the i family are at home a large beacon j light may be seen guiding and wel i coming the guests to this hospitable j farm and country home.—Warren Mirror. "Liberty and Union, One and Inseparable."— WEßSTEß. EMPORIUM PA., THURSDAY, AUGUST 18,1898. Seed Wheat. Mr. L. G. Cook has several varieties of seed wheat for sale, samples of which may be seen at Walker's hard ware store. '2stf Republican County Committee. The Republican county committee met at the Warner House last Thurs day, to fix the date for the holding of the primary election and county con vention. Every district in the county was represented and the best of feel ing prevailed. On motion it was re solved that the primary election be held on Saturday, Sept. 24th, and the convention on Tuesday, Sept. 27th. The committee passed a resolution empowering the committeemen from each district to select the delegates to be voted at the primaries, also that all candidates file their names with the Secretary of the County Committee that their name may be printed on the tickets to be presented to the primary election ollicers in each district. It was also decided that inasmuch as the Associate Judge to be nominated is conceeded to the eastern section of the county that no instructions be voted for said office in Shippen and Emporium—leaving the delegates free. That the Republicans may fully under stand the matter, we will briefly give the plan decided upon. Each district is entitled to a certain number of dele gates; the committeemen from each district will select the exact number of Republicans to act as delegates and place their names in the hands of the Secretary of the county committee; the Secretary of the county com mittee will place the names at the top of the ticket; below will follow the names of all candidates for the several county offices; the voter will mark an X after the eanditate he desires to vote for and the candidate receiving a majority of the votes cast in each district will receive the votes, in the convention, of the delegates from his district for five ballots. The plan is practically the Crawford county sys tem and gives the voter a choice of candidates, not leaving the decision to the delegates. The tickets will be placed in the hands of the chairman of the district committee. The prim ary election will be conducted under the Act of Assembly. We believe the new system will work better and be more harmonious than a general, .at times disgusting, scramble for dele gates. The plan adopted is honest and fair to all. A Letter From Ponce. The following interesting letter from E. J. Fauzy, of the 10th liegt. Penn'a. Vol., was received by his wife a few days ago and kindly submitted to the PRESS for publication: PONCE, PUERTO RICO, i July 29, 1898. t MY DEAR WIFE AND BABY: - I suppose you will be worried nearly to death over my tardiness in writing but I did not have a chance to write before we left Charleston, and we did not meet any mail boat on our way over so you see it is not my fault that I did not write. We were on the water seven days and seven nights and some of the boys were awful sea-sick before we landed. Several of the boys are very sick with typhoid fever and some have malarial fever, but so far I have been feeling very well. The climate is very much better than it was in the states of Ten nessee, Georgia or South Carolina, be cause of the sea breeze, but it rains, every day regular and at night there is a very heavy dew so it makes it very dangerous in regards to your lungs and rheumatics, and also fevers. The Spaniards are camped about 10 miles back in the mountains, 5,000 strong, and when all the Americans are landed there will be about 20,000 of us and four batteries of light artillery, so I guess we can whip the Dons that are near here, and we expect to start in the morning for a skirmish after the "Espanos." Then we go and beseige San Juan and after we have taken that we will come home, if Spain does not give up before then. There is no use for them to fight us any longer for we are bound to win and that before long too. The island is very plentiful with fruit and the boys are doing it justice too. There are pineapples, bananas, cocoanuts, man goes, poneos and bread fruit, so you see we won't want for fruit. Sugar cane grows in abundance here and so rum is equally as plenti ful . Some of the boys have drank a trifle too much already. They captured about fifty Spanish interpreters last night and to-day, and I presume some of them will be shot as spies. Now don't worry over mail if you don't get any, for we are going to a country where mails will be few and far between, but if anything happens to me you will get a cablegram from Capt. A. D. Burns, but there is every reason to believe that I won't get hurt. Well, 1 must close for the present and bid you good night, hoping I will soon be home with my family, I re main your True and loving husband, E. J. FAUZY. I Co. C 16th Regt P. V. I. Harmony all Along the Line. Senator Quay and David Martin met at Philadelphia last Thursday and now the Combine and Anti-Combine factions will bury the differences and work together for the success of the Republican ticket at the November election and the re-election of Quay to the Senate. This is a Republican year and harmony all along the line is the watch-word. Cameron county Repub licans will join the column to victory. Enacted by the School Board. At a recent meeting of the Borough School Board a resolution was passed, that all pupils attending the public schools last year who were not present for examination at the close of last term must be examined before they can be promoted. Examinations will begin at 9:00 a. m. in the High School building, Thursday, Aug. 25th. Those who cannot be pres ent on that day will remain in the rooms in which they were last year until another date set for examination. A Slight Blaze. The alarm of fire was sounded in the west ward, Sunday evening at nine o'clock and upon investigation was found to be at the dwelling house on Sixth street, occupied by W. W. Weeks and owned bv Hyde, Murphy & Co., of Ridgw: y. The flames had eaten a small hole on the J aside wall, back of the kitchen stove, and were soon extinguished with the Bid of a few pails of water. The family were out of town on an excur sion at the time and Mr. Weeks thinks if must have been the work of incen d tries. Barn Destroyed. About two o'clock Tuesday morning, the barn belonging to John Costello, located at the rear of Eagle Hotel, was discovered to be on fire and a general alarm was given, which v,as quickly responded to by all four r ~|;;nies. The Citizens and Hook's were the first to arrive on the scene and their prompt action prevented the fire from spreading to the adjoining build ings, and in a short time had the the flames entirely subdued. Mr. Costello estimates his loss on the barn and contents at S2OO, with no insurance. It is reported that a num ber of "hoboes" were seen issuing from the burning building at the time the alarm was given. Keeping Up His Record. There is probably no where around, a more prosperous business man than Frank McGloin, the "sailor boy grocer,"and real estate owner of Ridg way. For the past twenty-six years he has resided in the borough of Ridg way and he can with just pride point to the fact that he owns and has paid for a house for every year he has been in the town. On Tuesday he closed one of the biggest real estate deals of the season and became the owner of the R. I. Robinson property, corner of Center and Elk streets, which he pur chased from W. H. Hyde, paying therefore the round sum of SB,OOO. The newly acquired property consists of two lots facing Centre St., on which there are three good dwelling houses. The houses are very desirable ones and are now occupied by H. H. Tenßroeck, j Herman Nauert and Thos. C. Gal- | braith's families respectively. Mr. j McGloin's 27 years residence in Ridg- j way will not lie reached until next j March, and, in order that his record j for one house for every year may not | be broken, it is his intention to build I on one of the new lots before that time. He is a good landlord and keeps \ his properties in good repair, thus j pleasing his tenants and maintaining j the value of his investments. Mr. McGloin is not much of a man \ for fuss and feathers, and, he is per- ' fectly well satisfied if he can but be- ' come the owner of "just what joins" i his own property. His valuable hold- j ings of real estate have been acquired j by close attention to business and all who patronize his grocery or have any dealings with him in any line of trade always find that he sells at the lowest possible living profits and {hat he handles only goods that he can recom mend to his friends.—Ridgway Advo cate. Frank McGloin is well and favorably known in this section. For many years he was associated with M. C. Tulis, of Emporium and together they traveled this country, visiting the people who seldom had an oppor tunity to visit the stores. Mr. McGloin married Miss Mary Farrell, of Empo rium, a very excellent young lady. Their host of Cameron county friends are pleased to know they have pros pered. Rich Valley Notes.

Theodore Kephart is confined to h!s | home, a victim of typhoid fever, j Miss Blanch Motter, one of Williams | port's charming young ladies is visit i ing friends here. j Mrs. Julia Earl, of Depew, N. Y., j has been a Sinnemahoning visitor dur- I ing the past week. B. V. Wykoff has commenced opera tions in Montour's Run and will em ploy a large force of men there from now until driving time. A few days ago Brady Weikel a far mer, of Grove, discovered that one of his hen's nests was being robbed so he placed a china egg in the nest near the side of the barn in which was a knot hold. That evening when he put his hand in the nest he caught hold of a large blacksnake which had swallowed the artificial egg, and being unable to make his usual exit through the knot hole had made himself a prisoner and was promptly executed by his captor. Now this is not a production of the liars club nor the result of an over in dulgence in Joe M's snake producing fluid, but is a true bill and can be vouched for by Bill Michaels or Nor j man Johnson. ANGUS. North Creek Items. D. N. Chandler had the misfortune to cut his foot very bad a few days ago. Alfred Marsh who lias been working for Rob't Warner for a year left Mon- I day for his home in Potter county.

Avill be stopped even if it has to ;be brought before the grand jury j when they meet, as unlawful assem blages, resulting in a public nuisance, i The potato harvest will be about one half a crop this fall.
