Meeting of the State Board of Agriculture. The autumn meeting of the State Board of Agriculture convened in the Court House, Wednesday afternoon at two o'clock. Thos. J. Edge, Secretary of the State Board presided and B. W. Green, Esq., made a neat address of welcome, which was replied to by Prof. S. B. Heiges, of York, Pa. The remainder of the afternoon was occupied by discussions on interesting topics by Josiah Howard, Hon. J. C. Johnson, J. A. Gundy and others. In our next week's issue we hope to be able to give a full report of the pro ceedings of this convention. The Philadelphia Inquirer sums up the situation in this district very ac curately when it says: Joe Sibley is a dangerous man. He believes thorough ly in free trade and free silver and is not the sort of a representative that any district in Pennsylvania ought to send to Washington. It is to Mr. Sibley's credit that he has never tried to deceive the people on the qustion of where he stood with respect to these issues. He has said substantially that he believes in a depreciated dollar, in giving em ployment to foreign workingmen rath er than to American laborers, and if the people of bis district believe in his theories they ought to vote for him. But, unfortunately for the hides-hang ing-tails down statesman, the people of the Twenty-seventh district do not be lieve in Mr. Sibley's theories. They want a dollar worth one hundred cents. They prefer, much as they like other Nations of the earth, that the smoke should curl above American factories to having the fires here banked while European workingmen worked overtime supplying American markets with goods. Addressed Warren County Voters. Among the many prominent. Repub lican speakers at the Warren Fair on Wednesday Sept. '2Bth, was B. W. Green, of Emporium, who made the opening address and said, in part: Ladies and Gentlemen, Fellow Citizens: I fool that I am acquainted with the people of Warren county. I reside in the most easterly county of this Congressional District. In years gone by I have liail the pleasure of supporting some of Warren county's successful and dis tinguished citizens. Well do I remember the campaign in which the greatest commoner of this great commonwealth, Glenni W. Scolleld was the honored representative of this district and again when your fellow-citizen L. I*\J Watson, re presented you, and I am happy to say that now and for the past eight years you have been well represented by your distinguished fellow-citizen in the House of Representatives at Washington and it has been our privilege to cast our vote for C. W. Stone. We sent our representatives to the state convention at Harrisburg last spring to sup port C. W. Stone for Governor, not because we did not think W. A. Stone was the right man for Governor, but that we delighted to honor our distinguished congressman. On the Bth day of November next a tickot is presented for your careful consideration and every man is to cast his ballot. Let me say here that it is not only a privilege but a duty for every man togo to the polls and vote his convictions. You have a num ber of officers to elect this fall, governor, secre tary or internal affairs, lieutenant governor, two congressmen-at-large, besides the congressman you vote for in the 27th congressional district. We say to you, that whether upon state or nati onal issues, the Democratic party has been in variably in the wrong. | Lioyd's forecast of the Weather FOR EM lnd vicinity ♦ FRIDAY, - Probably rain in the morning, clearing during afternoon; warmer; variable winds.

Editor of the I*rrnß : In war time the only communication allowable with the enemy in through powder and lead, or perhaps, an oc casional formal demand for surrender; and any person caught giving aid and comfort to the enemy is promptly shot. A man, even a leader, vide Benedict Arnold, may desert and go over to the enemy, body and breeches. A soldier may become discouraged and homesick and be carried to a hospital, but surely neither the sick man nor the traitor can have any voice in the conduct of the battle. The same or similar conditions confront us in politi cal battles. We have our sick men occasionally and we should kindly nurse them back to health, but what shall we say of the traitors; men like John Wanamaker, who try to ruin the party which has given them all the prestige they ever had ? And why is this Philadelphia dealer in general merchandise trying to ruin the party that made him what he is politically ? Is it because the party is not good j enough for him ? Is it because lie is I too pure and honest to longer associate | with Republicans? No! We might, | perhaps, believe some of the lies of Honest John and his tool Swallow, if j we did not know that this precious I pair are working for nothing else under j God's Heavens but to sneak into office in some way. Little matters it to them how many lies they tell, what j cess-pools they wallow in, how many 1 sewers they crowd through, so that j they slide into office in the end. ; Wanamaker goes through the State ; howling that he is a good Republican. : Swallow is a Prohibitionist if he is ; anything. Now even a fool knows that even a Prohibitionist can have nothing in common with the Demo cratic party. Yet these two men stand hand in hand, traitors and hypocrites both, working might and main to de feat the regular Republican ticket in Pennsylvania this year. That they are trying to defeat the j Hon. C. W. Stone in this district, is plain from the sneaking lies told early in this campaign. The Hon. C. W. Stone is one of the ablest representatives in Washington; and is so considered by the best men of both parties, not alone in this State, but throughout the whole Union. No district in the State ever had a man who represented his constituents with more honesty, ability, and fairness to all, than Congressman Charles VV. Stone, of Warren. And who are we offered in his place? Joe Sibley, a man who wins his way by the corrupt use of money; by the open, brazen debauchery of the citizen | and the ballot box. A man who is a i rank free trader and a free silverite. Emerson said: ''Hitch your wagon jto a star." This advice was probably intended for a poet, for no political tparty has yet advanced far enough to ; tie to anything quite so high,but .surely there is no reason why we should fasten to a corpse, and Free Silver is •lead—dead as a last year's mackerel. • Every patriotic citizen is in favor of I supporting the administration of Win. I All-Kin ley and endorsing his sound, | aggressive, popular foreign policy, I but if for mere spite, for mere personal j and petty reasons we lose a Congress man here and there, and here and there an Assemblyman, we are likely to present to foreign countries in 1899 the disgracefully humiliating spectacle of a great and powerful nation binding hand and loot the executive, who has just brought that country successfully through a glorious and honorable war, and holding him helpless aloft, a pitiful example of the short-sightedness of the Republican bolter, who has ac complished more than he really in tended.

Ad dress, "Junior," Cameron County Press office, Emporium, Pa. Last of Clearfield's Pine. A tract containing eight hundred acres, principally or virgin pine and hemlock forest, located on the Little Mahoning, in Clearfield county, was sold to Philadelphia parties a few days ago. It is the best tract of timber re maining in Clearfield county and the pine covering it is of an exceptionally fine quality. All Work Guaranteed. Mr. J. H. Logue, of Sinnemalioning, desires to inform the people of Cameron county that he is prepared to do all kinds of masonry and stone work, also clern wells and repair pumps. Wells drilled or dug, all work guaranteed or money refunded. Address, J. H. LOGUE, Sinnemahoning, Pa. Appointed District President. Mr. Geo. *H. Altvater, a prominent member of Washington Camp, No 88, P. O. S. of A , of this place, has re ceived the appointment of District President of the Clinton-Cameron dis trict. Mr. Altvater lias been an active member of the organization for the past ten years and will no doubt make an efficient officer.—Renovo News. Robinson--Stahly. Two of Emporium's young people, Mr. John Robinson and Miss Elizabeth Stably surprised their friends, a few days ago, by announcing their mar riage, the same having taken place at St. Paul's M. E. Parsonage, Niagara Falls, August 30th, 1898, Rev. Robt. C. Brownlee, officiating. These popular young people will commence house keeping on West Fifth street. Mr. Robinson is a hard-working,industrious young man and a son of our esteemed citizens, Mr. and Mrs. Thos. Robinson. Miss Stahly, the bride, bits resided in Emporium for several years and her pleasant manners and many good traits of character have made her hosts of friends. The friends of the young couple extend their best wishes for a long and happy life—the PRESS joining in the good wishes. Elect All Republican Representatives Every day now is developing new steps in the campaign. It is apparent that the Republicans do not propose to lose any ground in this part oftheState through apathy. The opposition has nothing substantial to urge against Re publicanism, and the people know it, while the Democrats have nothing themselves to commend them to a re turn to power. The hardest times the people of this country ever had was when the last Democratic president elected was back ed up by a free trade congress. The country does not want any more of it. They want Republicans in the different branches of the legislative department now to work with the Republican pre sident. We want Republicans in every legislative district in the land, congres sional and state, and national progress will prevail. There is strength at stake to cause the people to awaken and see to it that no ground is lost.—Dußois Courier. Teacliers* Institute. Our County Superintendent, Miss I Mattie Collins, always an untiring worker in the office she so ably fills, is putting forth every effort to make the institute of'9B the best the county has ever had. She has secured the services of an excellent corps of instructors, who will occupy the greater part of the programme of each day's session, and the evening entertainments promise to be rare treats to those fortunate enough to attend. On Monday evening Dr. Lincoln tlulley, of Bucknell University, will lecture on "Riley the Poet." Tuesday evening, the celebrated lecturer, John B. DeMotte, will deliver his famous masterpiece, "The Harp of the Senses; or, the Secret of Character Building." Wednesday evening, Slayton's Jubilee Singers, the leading colored company of America, will give one of their en tertaining concerts, which have justly given them the name of being the greatest company of colored artists that has ever appeared before the American public. Thursday evening, that master of wit, humor and pat hos, Georgia's brilliant and gifted son, Rev. A.W.Lamar,will give a vivid portrayal of "Dixie Before and During the War." All of the above artists are too well known to need any comment from us and we hope they will have the pleas ure of appearing before a crowded house. Independent Republican's Opinion. Editor Preta:— There is probably not a Republican in Cameron county who does not most heartily endorse the course of William McKinley's administration. The far reaching statesmanship displayed by Wm. McKinley, the power to reason clearly and calmly, and to act with judicial fairness and firmness, for the best present and future interest of a great nation, called suddenly to decide questions of momentous import, has surprised the friends of the President and well nigh confounded his detrac tor. And yet, there may be some voters who, at first thought, do not realize that a vote for a Democratic Assemblyman in this county is a vote to tie the President of the United States hand and foot in the next Con gress. There is too much at stake this year to take any chances. A vote against the Hon. Henry H. Mullin in Cameron county this fall is a vote to send a Democratic Senator to Wash ington next year; a vote to send a man to Washington to oppose the President in his great and glorious policy of expansion and freedom to all people who come within our sphere of in fluence; a vote for a Democratic U. S. Senate, a vote in favor of exhibiting ourselves abroad as a booby people who are afraid to accept the fruits of their victory,or too egregiously idiotic to understand that there is any fruit. By all the fires of patriotism; by all the blood shed by our heroes at El Caney and Manila this is of all years the wrong year to vote anything but the straight Republican ticket. And where in Cameron county can we find a better man to send to Harris burg than Henry H. Mullin; where a man who keeps in closer touch with his constituents and with the great heart of the laboring people? We can can find 110 better, 110 fitter man in Cameron county, because— there is no better man. INDEPENDENT REPUBLICAN. Emporium, Pa., Oct. 12th, 1898. An Elegant Turnout. Wm. McGee the popular and wide awake proprietor of the City Hotel has recently purchased a handsome new bus for the use of his patrons to and from the W. N. Y. &P. junction. The wood-work of the bus is decorated and finished off in a highly artistic manner and when it is drawn by the spanking team of "Greys", to the music of a set of sweet chimes, it presents a very stylish and attractive appearance. Supper. ' Under the auspices of the ladies of St. Marks Church, a supper will be served at the Opera House, Wednes day, Oct. 19, 1898. Supper will be served from /»:30 p. t until all are accommodated. Supper, 25 cents. All are cordially invited and an excellent supper will be in store for them. Come young and old and enjoy yourselves. COMMITTEE. Buckwalter. Fred Norton is under the doctor's care. Mr. Sipple is in lino with swelled jaws. What is the matter with the parties, boys ? Johnny Hobson is suffering with the niumps. Dr. A. W. Baker is seen every day on our streets. Luie Norton has accepted a position with R. P. Bingeman. Chester Sykes is swelled up like a man, with the mumps. Mrs. J. Hobson was a visitor to the county Beat, 011 Friday. H. F. Kresge has secured a position as meat cutter, in Dußois. Our postoftlce has been changed to P. M. Heath's new residence. P. M. Heath will soon have a force of men building rabbit pens. Tourner and Welch don't come up quite so ofcen. I wonder why. O. M. Kresge is using his leg and will soon throw away the sticks There was an ice cream festival in the school house Saturday evening. "Pete," the pumper for tho P. & E. R. R., is like the cat —he came back. We understand that a new telegraph company has been formed in our town. W. H. Weaver was up the creek, looking over the cider and chestnut crops. Buckwalter can boast of having one of the finest postofflces in the State, for the size of the town. Pat Curnes, who has been laid up for two years with a smashed knee and has only worked four weeks, fell down stairs and broke his leg in two places. A report comes from the hospital at Kane that he will lose it. BILLY SAWDUST. A new lot of men's and ladies' col lars at Hoble's. BRIEF fIENTION. The Republican candidates on our county ticket are calling on ihe voters ! and are being well received. The cor j diality with which the voters are re ! ceiving the candidates clearly demon j strates that this is a Republican year. Clias. M. Thomas, the Republican j candidate for County Treasurer, is I making an honorable canvass. Mr. i Thomas lias resided in Cameron county j for upwards of twenty-five years and Jis a successful lumberman. That he 1 will be elected goes without saying. John McDonald, the Republican i candidate for Associate Judge, will call ion the voters this week. Mr. Mc | Donald is a very efficient gentleman in i any position he may bo called upon to | fill. Vote for him. Death of Mrs. Lusk. The many Emporium friends of Mrs. j Sara Ann Lusk, of Penn Yan, N. Y., I will regret to learn of her death, which occurred on September 2fith. The de , ceased was a sister of D. H. Lamb, formerly of this place, who, with a son Loren, and mother, Mrs. Eliza G. Lamb, survive her. Committed to Fort Mundy. On the niglit of Oct. 4th. burglars broke into the office of L. R. Gleason and Sons at Driftwood, and after ran sacking the office and safe were obliged to leave without having secured any thing of value. Special officer Reid of the P. R. R. Co's force was detailed on the case and 011 Friday the 7th. arrested his men at Lock Haven and brought them to Emporium. They were brought before Justice Larrabee, the following day, who after hearing the evidence bound them over to court in the sum of SSOO each, in default of which they were committed to the tender keeping of Sheriff Mundy. The men gave their names as Robt. J. Hoyt and James Price, and when ar rested were found to have in their pos session a complete set of burgular's tools besides a good supply of powder and fuse. Some Good Advice. Monday's Cleveland Leader contains the following editorial: "Joseph C. Sibley has agreed to stand as the Democratic candidate for con gressman in the twenth-seventh Penn sylvania district, and, we are sorry to say, it is reported that he was induced to become a candidate by promises of support from Republicans in his dis trict. "Joseph C. Sibley ought not to get a single Republican vote, for his election would serve no good purpose, and it would be hailed everywhere as a vic tory for the most pernicious princip'e the Democraaic party has ever advo cated. Sibley is, moreover, scarcely a Democrat. He was elected to con gress four years ago as a Populist, and became a Bryan Democrat in 1896. He is a radical free silverite and is opposed to everything which tho Republican party has ever advocated or any de cent Republican believes in. "To the Republicans of the twenty seventh Pennsylvania district who are thinking of giving their support to this Popocratic candidate the Leader says— Don't. The place to settle their quar rels is at tho caucuses or in the conven tion. When a candidate is fairly chosen by his party he is entitled to the sup port of all its membres at the polls." University Association Notice.

The patronage of all is earnestly requested. Charles McKean, on Friday last, ex hibited at this office a beautiful rose he picked on his premises that morning. He grafted the rose bush into a tree on his grounds last summer, and the rose has hlossomed every month since. Frost does not appear to have any ter ror for this rose.—McKean Democrat. In the death of Sydney A. Wetmore on the 24th inst. Warren loses one of its oldest and most respected citizens. He was born in Warren July 18, 1825. He was the seventh in descent from Thomas Wetmore, who was one of the founders of Hartford and Middletown, Conn., andwho in turn had immigrated from England where the family had for centuries held estates. The former's more immediate ancestors for genera tions had been lawyers and judges. When one person is uplifted into a higher, nobler sphere of living through the influence of another, the power of that uplift will tell in other lives brought into touch with him, and from soul to soul the ever-widening circle will bless and ennoble. But when the larger part of a community is thus up lifted, who can tell what the end will be-in stronger manhood, purer woman hood and a more determined battle for the right and against tho wrong. Such an uplift has come to Newton through Prof. J. B. DeMotte. Every such wave brings us a little nearer the perfect life, for which all true-hearted people are striving, and the moral tone of the whole community will be stronger and purer thereby.—Margaret Robinson in Newton Journal. At Teachers' Insti tute, Driftwood, Pa., Oct. 18th, 1898. No man in the United States is ac complishing more good than Prof. De Motte. There is nothing of the sensa tionalist about him, but with his ele gant actions, fine presence, ripe scholarship, ability as a thinker and reasoner, and exalted ideas, what a a man he is! He is a man of the world, a practical scholar, a profound student of human nature, who has successfully grappled with the problem of Life, and who is teaching a lesson that should be learned by every young man and every young woman in this land—the lesson that impurity and immorality will undermine them, physically and mentally, ar.d in the end hurl them down to destruction. No man or woman, capable of thinking or being instructed, ever heard Prof. De Motte without being deeply impressed aud benefitted.—Marysville (Mo.) Tribune. At Teachers' Institute, Driftwood, Pa., Tuesday evening, Oct. 18, 1898. What are little personal enmities and petty jealousies compared to the country's welfare* Perhaps the defeat of a Congressman in this district or a member of the Legislature in this coun ty will not cut much figure in the ag gregate, and yet it does not pay to take chances. It is very important that the next Congressman shall be strongly Republican and we should not risk los ing a single member when there is no good reason therefore. A United States Senator will be voted for by the Legis lature elected this fall and we certainly want a Republican to take Senator Quay's place. Tho Senate is too close as it is and has been too much of a drawback on legislation. The war is over but the questions arising from the same will have to bo settled and the President should be given all the help possible in the power of the patriotic citizens of this and every community. Vote the ticket and you will show that you believe in the president.—Mt. Jewett News. The Slayton Jubilee Singers now en tering on their sixth year, have become so well known that there have been several calls for their services in Eng land, Europe and Australia. During the period they have been in the field this company has given a larger num ber of concerts than any other musical organization. There are already many cities that do not consider their course complete unless they include the com pany each season. The Slayton Jubilee Singers have given over fifty concerts in Chlortb" a11,.ii.. Then ddCoiid ap pearance at the Auditorium drew the largest door sale ever known in the history of that famous hall, and the cheapest seat in the house at that time was one dollar. At the Chautauquas there is no musical organization that can equal this in popularity and draw ing power. As this prospectus coes to presH over one hundred and forty nights have been sold for the season, from Maine to Kansas. At Teachers' Institute, Driftwood, Pa., Wednesday evening, Oct. 19, 1898.
