If the brood sow belongs to a family noted for their production of fat meat, then her progeny will certainly start in life with a tendency in the same di rection. But if the young pigs are fed lightly after weaning and com polled to forage in the field for most of their sub stance, the active life will prevent them accumulating much fat and turn a large share of their food into lean meat or muscle, the natural product of active exercise. Victim of Peritonitis. Mrs. A. Zanhiser, wife of the Rev. A.

"n Wf- <• *e£pocs: <• <► ••4;^:^X^HG^DOC^S The Result. The result of the election in this county, last Tuesday, while it is hum iliating to the editor of the PRESS, is not to be wondered at. Those familiar with the tactics resorted to to debauch the voters, know that Sibley's money was openly used to defeat the Republi can county ticket,especially the head of it. The campaign was the dirtiest and | most rotten ever known in history and I those beautiful Reformers (?) who joined with the whiskey element and | the boodlers to debauch the voters of j this county must have an exalted j opinion of themselves. When men, in ; this enlightened age, are not permitted to vote their convictions under the penalty of being discharged; when men calling themselves christians and would-be leaders will get down to the lowest depths of filthy of the filthiest politics, it is time for thinking men to stop and ponder. We are satisfied with the results and if those so-called Republicans can justify their course, well and good. We are none the less a Republican and believe in the principles of the party. We have no regrets to offer and no apologies to make. Our campaign was conducted strictly in accordance with the law governing the same. The result in the State is very grati fying to true Republicans. The Re publicans sweep the State by an over whelming majority —over 125,000 plu-! rality over Jenks. Swallow was no I where in the vote, falling all to pieces, ! and not carrying the vote he did last j year by over 20,000, and carrying only i one county—Lackawanna. The leader < of the sour-faced gang has crawled into 1 his hole. Out of thirty Congressman the Re- j publicans have elected twenty-one, : and the Legislature is overwhelmingly . Republican, insuring the re-election of Senator Quay, or some other good, j stalwart Republican to the United I States Senate. The Nation is Repub- ; lican and stands by the President. Pleasant Social (iathering. Last evening the young people of j Emporium again manifested their ! ability in the social line by giving one I of those brilliant parties which has j made Emporium justly popular. The i interior of the opera house was very j tastefully decorated and presented a I scene of gay festivity. At 9:30 the j program opened with a waltz to the i entrancing strains of the Ridgway j orchestra, and from that time up to an | early hour this morning the merriment! continued. Refreshments were served ! at midnight, and an enjoyable time is j reported by all present. A party of guests from Smethport i with Wm. Segor as chaperon, together 1 with the following young men from j out of town, added greatly to the ! pleasure of the evening: Messrs. j Sheldon and Gunzberg, lienovo; Mr. j Holliday, Ridgway; E. L. McCloskey, ! Wilkinsburg; John and Andrew j Denny, Driftwood, and P. .1. Cooper, j Keating Summit. Important Notice. From this date, notices of festivals and entertainments of any nature church or associations—will be charged for. There is no reason why an editor should be expected to donate his work any more than the grocer should give his merchandise. While the single items are of small expense, during the year we find the aggregate to be sur prising and more than we feel like assuming. THE EDITOR. The Defeat of Chas. W. Stone. The defeat of Chas. W. Stone in this Congressional district is a burning shame. While Cameron stood by him nobly and his friends here made per sonal sacrifices, we feel the defeat of this gentleman more keenly than words can express. The district, state and nation deeply deplore his defeat. Hon. Chas. W. Stone carried every election district in this county. "Liberty and Union, One and Inseparable."— WEßSTEß. EMPORIUM PA., THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 10,1898. Narrow Escape of An Emporium Boy. A shocking drowning accident hap pened yeaterday at Ely in which John 11. West and F. C. Hamen, the former of Ely and the latter of Superior, lost their lives. Martin Pattison, a well known iron mine owney of Superior, and John D. Morrisey, agent at Super ior for the Dulnth, South Shore & Atlantic road, had narrow escapes from drowning. Mr. West was for merly a resident of Superior. He and Mr. Hamen were married to nieces of Martin Pattison. The four gentlemen were out fishing, according to the reports from Ely, and one of the party hooked a big fish. In the excitement incident to landing the fish the boat was tipped over and two ! were drowned. The accident happened on Burnside lake, where Mr. Pattison maintains an I elegant summer cottage and where dur ing the summer he always entertains many of his friends. It is said that West and Hamen could not swim,or if they could were probably overcome by the cold water. Both Mr. Pattison and Mr. Morrisey nearly lost their lives and their condition required the at tendance of physicians after they were ! finally ashore. Mr. Hamen is a druggist at Superior j and his place of business is at 287 West j Fifth street. He was a well known and I popular young man. Mr. West, or J "Jack," as he was familiaaly known to ' his friends, has been a resident of Ely with his wife for about a year. He was formerly in the register of deeds office at Superior but since going to Ely has had charge of the interests of Martin Pattison there. He looked after the quantity of ore taken from the Chand ler mine and from the Pioneer when it I was operating. Telegrams were re- ! ceived at Superior regarding the ac- j cident. Early last evening there were reports ! that Martin Pattison was drowned, but I a telegram received from Capt. John Pengilly about 11 o'clock stated posi tively Mr. Pattison is safe. It is sup- j posed Indian guides brought the news ! of the disaster to Ely from Burntside lake. The distance is about five miles. West's body was recovered and a searching party headed by Capt. Pen gilly is searching for Hamen's body, i As soon as the news reached Mrs. Martin Pattison last night she ordered a special train to take her and others related to the persons involved in the accident to Ely. The train left the union depot at 11 o'clock last night with orders to run as fast as was safe The party on the special is composed of Mrs. Martin Pattison, Mrs. F. C. Hamen, Mrs. John I). Morrisey, Miss < Mara Thayer, Byron Patterson and Ralph C. Pope.—Duluth News Tribune. Blew Open a Safe. Early last Friday morning a gang of, five burglars broke into the store of John E. Smith, at Sterling Run, and after ransacking the money drawer, and a show case containing watches ; and jewelry, they blew open the safe but the report of the explosion aroused the whole neighborhood and scared the robbers so that they beat a hasty retreat and took refuge in a box car of a west-bound freight train that was passing. Telegrams were sent to all the towns along the road, west of Em-1 porium, to arrest any tramps that j should be seen getting" oft' that train, and at St. Marys when three of the men got off of the train two of them were promptly arrested by Chief of Police Wilhelm, assisted by Deputy Olson. Considerable jewelry, a watch, about twenty-three dollars in money and a bottle partly filled with gun powder were found upon the men. that evening Sheriff Mundy and Spec ial Officer Reid brought them to Em porium on mail and lodged them in | the county jail. This moriiing the two prisoners were brought before Justice Larrabee, who, after hearing the evidence, bound them over to court in the sum of §I,OOO bail each. Mr Smith testified that notes and ; orders, amounting to nearly four thousand dollars, which were in the safe, were destroyed by the explosion, i You don't need to steal your neigh bor's umbrella these rainy days. Goto ; N. Seger's clothing house and you will j find one of the largest assortments of umbrellas ever brought to Emporium. ! They are marked way down. BRIEF HENTION. And the Swallows homeward (lew. Now settle down to business and see j if something cannot bo done for Em j porium. An antimatiscope exhibition will be | given in the M. E. Church on Nov. 19. j Two hours of moving pictures. Tho subject for the illustrated sermon j in the Methodist Epiacpal church next j Sunday night is "Separations in Etern i ity." Beautiful specimen of Prohibition (?) was that manifested by the great ma : jority of the so-called temperance vot ers of Cameron county. Capt. Edward Clark, who was the oldest mail agent on the P. & E. route, died at his home in Lock Haven, Sun day, Oct. 30th, aged sixty-five years. Wanamakerism and Swallowism were beautifully snowed under in Penn sylvania. There were Republicans, ouUide of Cameron county, not for sale. The Kane Republican says that five hundred cars are handled in the P. & E. yards at that place every twenty four hours, and it requires eleven pushers to get them over the mountain. Revival services will bo held in Methodist church, this and next week. ! The services will be held in the lec ture room—all most cordially invited ! to attend. | Any man in Cameron county can obtain a suit of ready made clothing that will fit him as well as a tailor-made suit, at prices ranging from eight to twelve dollars, at N. Soger's. The smart Alec's in this county, who wanted to defeat the Republican party in order to destroy Senator Quay, must get plenty of consolation when they read the returns from this state. Sena tor Quay will never know they existed. The engineer on train 12 on the Erie road was found dead at his post while going into Susquehanna, on the 31st, ult. The fireman noticed that the engineer did not whistle for the station and upon investigation found he was dead. D. I. Roberts, general passenger ageiu for the Erie railroad company, has ordered that all soldiers without mo. ley and traveling on his road, be provided with food in the dining cars. The waiters are instructed togo through the train and ask each soldier if he has funds. Popular Young Man Dead. St. Marys, Pa., Nov. 3.—Edward Reuscher, the son of ex-County Com missioner Geo. Reuscher, Sr., of St. Marys, was killed yesterday about a mile from the site of the new county home near this place, by being struck by a locomotive on the Buffalo, St. Marys and Southwestern railroad. The young man, in company with his brother George, was going to Bendigo, via Glen Hazel, with a wagon load of pr rvisions for a lumber camp. They were driving a team and when tliey reached the school road crossing, about a mile from their home, the en gine came along, unattached, and going at a pretty fair rate of speed. The boys did not see the locomotive until the wagon was on the crossing, and it struck the vehicle full force. The engineer saw the boys and put his hand on the throttle, but the loco motive was going at too rapid a speed to be stopped. Edward was on the side of the wagon next to the engine and received a heavy blow in the head, rendering him unconscious. . ieorge was more fortunate and es caped without serious injury, although bruised a little by being thrown from the wagon. One of the horse's legs was broken and had to be killed. Dr. Mullhaupt was summoned and examined Edward's injuries, but lie never gained consciousness and died in about an hour. Edward Reuscher was about eighteen years of age and a bright, studious and intelligent young man, being a grad uate of the Benzinger high school. He was a brother of Prof. Jos. H. Reuscher. late district superintendent of Benzin ger schools, who died of typhoid fever on Saturday, October 2nd, 1897. Besides the aged father and mother, who have been (-ailed upon twice with in almost a year to mourn the loss of a dearly beloved son, Mr. Reuscher leaves two brothers, William and Ed ward, and four sisters, all married.— Elk Advocate. Holiday (ioods. One of the largest assortments of i holiday goods ever displayed in Em- ] porium can be seen at tho store of Miss j 11. L. Raymond, on East Fourth street, j ALL AROUND THE COUNTY. Mason Hill. Sheriff Mandy bad business hereon | Thursday. The dance on Friday night was a i grand success socially. There was a hot time in the Middle I Ward on Thursday. Mrs. 1 lousier, of Rich Valley, visited j friends here Last week. Miss Alice Ives, came home from j Sinnemahoning on Sunday. Claud Williams came down from j Medix and spent a few days at home, j Mr. and Mrs. C. Williams visited i friends at Sterling Run on Sunday, j H. M. Bailey recently took charge of j the Enterprise House at Sinnemahon i ing. | Mrs. A. Barr was the guest of friends at Driftwood, the latter part of last week. A few young people of this place at tended the oyster supper at Sterling Run, on Saturday night. Mid-night mechanics visited O. B. Tanner on Wednesday night, and re lieved him of three nice turkeys. Clell Bailey proceeded to the wilds of Millers Run, on Thursday, and now has fresh meat for sale by the car load. Most of our people are very sorry that the campaign is over, as the choice Havanas will no longer be delivered by "advance agents," free of charge, at our doors. DING. Buck waiter. Mr. Gaskill, Jr., had business in our burg last week. All our farmers were enroute for Emporium on Tuesday. Luio is like the man who fell out of the baloon—he isn't in it. John Kelly, of Emporium, drove through our burg Sunday. Farmer Kresge killed two fine pigs for the McGyers, Wednesday. We are glad to state that Mrs. Mike Hillard is getting along fine. Farmer Kresgo and his girl made a trip to the county seat Friday. Road Supervisors are making some much needed improvements on More Hill. Clate Toner claims to have the agency for the best rat trap in this sec tion. The pump that Pete, the pumper, runs at the siding, refused to do duty one day last week. We understand that Henry Wadener and John Hogan have started a meat market in the west end. Clias. Welch, one of the P. & E. R. R.'s trusty employes, was a visitor to the County Seat, last week. Boys don't forget our coming Road Supervisor, Fred Norton, Talk it up and help the good work along. Miss Carrie Spay, who has been stop ping at this place, left Tuesday for her old homestead on Moore Hill. Horseback riding is getting to be quito a fad among our young ladies. Be careful that you get on the right side. Post Master Heath has purchased a very fine gun, and hereafter will be numbered with the hunters of this place. Its a shame for a brother to bo so mean as to take his younger brother's girl, especially when he went one way with her. Buckwalter can boast of having the finest conducted school in the county, under the management of Miss Fanny Lyon, of West Creek. Arthur Norton and Geo. Spay left for Glen Hazel, Wednesday, where they expect to take a large contract to cut 2000 cords of wood for the chemical works at that place. They will employ about 100 men. Following are the officers of the I Liars Club at. this place: Arthur Nor- ; ton, President; C. M. Kresge, Vice President; Clate Toner, Director; Fred Norton, Secretary; Chas. Welsh, Treas urer; Luie Norton, door tender. Any body wishing to join this order can do so by applying to Fred Norton, secre tary of the club. LITTLE SAMMY. Oldest Person in Central Pennsylvania Dead. Oil last Monday night Mrs. Nancy Bargor, the oldest lady in central Pennsylvania, answered her last roll call, aged 106 years, 1 month and 14 days. On the 26th of August she fell and injured her hip. Since then she has been unable to walk around. Up to that time she attended to her house hold duties. During the past summer she weeded her own garden and milked her two cows. Mrs. Nancy Barger was born at Middle Ridge, Cumberland county, September 17, 1792. Her father and mother were among the first settlers in the community where she lived. At the age of 20 she married George Barger. Soon after they emigrated to Bellefonte. In 1820 they moved to Curtin, and later onto Mill Hall. In 1532 they j moved back to Curtin, where she has j lived ever since. She was the mot her of soven children, j four of whom survive her. Samuel, oldest, son, her "bachelor boy," aged j 81 years, lived with her until ner ; death.—Mill Hull Times. A cousjh is not like a fever. It does not have to run .a certain course.
