A BIG RUSH for those §2.00 Cabinet
Photos at Schriever's. About 2,000 of
the cards have already gone and there
are less than 3,000 left. They will last
but a few weeks longer, so those who
wish these pictures should come at
once. Remember they are only $2.00
a dozen while this stock lasts.
Very truly,
J. 15. SCHRIEVER.
CABINET PHOTOGRAPHS.— S2.OO per
dozen. I have on hand 5,000 Ivoryette
finish Cabinet Cards. I will make
Carbonette finish pictures, mounted on
these cards, for $2 per dozen —regular
$4 stock. As I am not making any more
Ivoryette finish pictures and have this
stock on hand, I will make photographs
mounted on the same for the above
price, until all this stock is used. I
will not make any cabinets at this price
after this supply is gone. Come early
as this stock will not last long.
Very truly,
J. B. SCHRIEVER,
lti-tf Emporium, Pa.
Yes, Emporium is sure to boom.
Hut what about our little town
nestled here among the mountains.
Will not our capitalists try to start
some new industry to help us along?
Driftwood is just the place for a
large wood pulp mill. —Mose Car
penter in Driftwood Gazette. Our
sister town is admirably situated
for the location of manufacturing
plants—low taxes, cheap land,
excellent schools, pure water and
good railroad facilities being of
great advantage. Why not test
the country surrounding Driftwood
for natural gas? You have ihe
men with capital in your midst.
The PRESS will gladly aid you in
any manner you desire. Make a
start. Talk is too cheap and don't
| count.
Scarlet Fever.
W. H. Philpot, Canton, 0., writes:
"Eight cases of sore throat with Scarlet
lever in our family have been treated
successfully with Armstrong's Diph
theria and Quinsy Crops." lily
Base Ball.
Our nine crossed bats with the
Ooudersport nine yesterday and

Coudersport. Our team went over

battery. The return game will be
played at this place next Saturday
afternoon.
The Furnace.
Smoke is issuing from large
smoke stack, and the old and
familiar whistle sounded for the
first time to-day: workmen of all
kind are very active in making re
pairs and Supt. Brady expects to
commence the brick lining this
week. New trestling and complete
and substantial repairs will be
made. About fifty workmen are
now employed.

If we can borrow "Billy" How
ard's William Goat there will be a
special meeting of the K. L. C., on
Saturday night, to initiate Mike
McGrath, Johnnie Myers and the
"Left Hand Reporter," if he can
be found. With this addition to
our ranks the S. IJ. C. may as well
give up the ghost. Pap was up
last week looking for pointers but
run up against a snag and went
home disgusted.
ANTHONY.
Thanks; a Thousand Thanks.
Mrs. Newton desires to express
lier gratitude to Mr. Win. Howard
for so promnt.ly responding to her
alarm of lire; to .Messrs. Josiah
Howard and Mr. Gross; to .Mr.
Sehriever and the fire department
for their swift answer to the call.
And above all, to Mr. Tliad Moore,
who extinguished the lire 011 the
barn, thus proving himself a gal
lant and capable unaided fire de
partment. E. M. N.
BRIEF fIENTION-
The Glee Club will not meet until

Geo. Filling died at Beechwood

year all but one of the family have
died, the wife being the only living
member.
The Emporium Chapter banquet at
the Warner House, Tuesday evening
was a grand success. Many from out
of town attended. That's one feed we
missed. Can't be helped.
The fire alarm yesterday about 10:25,
caused great excitement. It proved to
be Mrs. Newton's barn, the fire being
quickly extinguished, before the fire
companies reached sixth street.
Arrangements aro being made by
the United States Fish Commission to
furnish applicants throughout Penn
sylvania during the summer and fall
months with carloads of rainbow trout,
black bass, and bass. The trout furn
ished aro from three to six inches long.
The total production of tin plate by
American mechanics since the passage
of the McKinley Tariff has been 2,235,-
590,629 pounds, aud the price to con
j sumers has declined one-fourth. That
is the Republican style of carrying 011
business —St. Louis Globe Democrat.
The Mt Jewett Herald says tho Rich
Lumber Company, at Granere, aro
peeling 12,000 cords of bark this year.
They employ 150 men in the woods.
The Messrs. Rich used to be business
men of this section and no finer gentle
men ever transacted business hero.
Their word is just as good as their bond
and that is giit-edged.
ALL AROUND THE COUNTY.
Buckwalter.
Jas. McGuire, of Pittsburg, is visit
ing at this place.
O. M. Kresge visited the county seat
Monday and Tuesday.
Miss Carrie Specht was seen in our
burg a few hours, on Sunday.
Mrs. Andrew Ingersoll visited Mayor
Hellyor and family, Monday.
Rev. Mulliner delivered an eloquent
sermon at this place last Sunday.
Martin set np the cigars and a finer
pair of twins are not to be found.
The Misses Gregory, Miss Auchu and
Miss Day was vising Miss Ethel Fisher,
Monday.
Chas. Catlin, one of Emporium's
hustling business men, was in our burg
Monday.
Mrs. Craig and son Willie, of Pitts
burg, are visiting her sister, Mrs. \V.
C. Heath, at this place.
The roacUsupervisors are doing some I
work with the township band wagon
Ingersoll fingering the keys.
Buckwalter certainly lias some great j
fishermen, especially Jas. McGuire, j
who caught an eel nine feet lon^.
Mayor Hillyard has sold his straw- |
berry crop to P. Bush, who will do a
land office business in that line.
Councilman Pat Curran made a fly
ing trip to Emporium to arrange for
special trains to this place the Fourth.
More Ilill was well represented in
Mayor Hellyor's strawberry patch on
Monday, but it would take four of them
to do as much as one of our own boys.
Everybody g« t in line for the straw
berry and ice cream festival, Saturday
evening. Mayor Hellyor will furnish
all the berries free to help the good
cause.
Windy City couldn't expect to raise
strawberries in a place where the sun
never shines, and, as for the shoes,
112 am afraid the writer hasn't got them
to put on, let alone fit.
SAMMY.
sinncmahonlng,
Capt. J. C. Johnson and B. W. Green,
two of Emporium's legal luminaries
transacted business in town 011 Satur
day.
Capt. C. F. Barclay is having a mag
nificent flagstone walk laid from the
street to his residence. When com
pleted this will be one Of the finest
laws in the county.
11. JH. Alcterrer leu olt a high trussel
at Barclay's mill on Friday last, and
broke one of his legs just" above the i
ankle joint, ile was at once taken to I
the hospital at Williamsport.
A new railroad is being built from a
a point on Wykoff Run R. R., to Jerry ;
Run and up that stream to the timber
tracts of Messrs. Barclay. About fif
teen millions of feet will be brought up
and sawed here.
Barclay Bros, are building a new
boom to take the place of the old one
which has been in service too long to
be depended upon. It will be in a
single piece, five hundred feet long,
and will be fitted with "fins" to hold
it acros : the river without anchors or
ropes.
The much-talked-of kindling wood
mill is not materializing very rapidly
and there seems to be some uncertainty
as to the probable result. It is hoped
that this industry will eventually locate
here and thus increase the business im
portance of our busy little town.
J. V. Hanscom is the proud possessor
of a patent churn that is certainly a
wonder if the Squire's statements con
cerning the devissare to be relied upon.
It not only does the churning but works
the butter, milks the cows, makes ice
cream, keeps the baby from crying,
and, with all the attachments in posi
tion, it is warranted to wash dishes,
prevent a woman from scolding and
keep tramps from the premises. It
must be a daisy.
A letter received from E. E. Shaw,
who moved from this place to the
northern part of Maine, about a year
ago, bring the intelligence that he is
obliged to keep a pack of dogs to pro
tect his crops, while brook trout from
one to two feet long gather in such
vast numbers near his house as to com
pletely "darn" (he would't say "dam")
up the stream. The cows come home
with fish tails sticking out of their
mouths after drinking at the brook.
The letter was road before the Liars
Club and "Buckey's" dues for one year
were remitted and a receipt drawn and
sent to the ex-cliampion.
JOE.
Special from S. L. C:
The S. L. C. held a special meeting
in Beldin's shop, Friday evening, for
the purpose of initiating Billy Roads
| and Al. Cole into the famous and hou
| orable club. Billy says it is a dandy
I club and thinks it gained two dandy
i members when he and Al. joined it.
Now if the E. L. C. thought they had
j any business trying the S. L. C. let
! them come ahead.
The Club now returned to the regu-
J lar order of business and Dany Daugh-
I erty, who is an old member, but has
J not attended lately, arose with a sad
j look and reported having had bad luck
I this summer, for the potato bugs were
i very bad and would not eat Paris-green
until ho mixed it with sweet milk and
! sugar, and that was costly. This made
i the Club fee! bad and shed wet tears
for awhile when Gundy Ad. came to
his feet and told of this pet coon learn
ing to ride a bicycle, and said that he
j had a dog that stood on his head and
! kicked the potato bugs out of the patch.
Gundy then took his seat and Joe Sum
: merson arose and stated that Pap
| Blodget was the only shoemaker on
record who could make a pair of shoes
| that would not fitanyone, and Norman
TERMS: $2.00 —$1.50 IN ADVANCE.
I Johnson wanted to put him out of the
| club for telling the truth, but order
i was restored again.
Alf. Smith and J. V. Hanscom did
i not attend the meeting being too busy
working on a patent to put false teeth
on a bandsaw. Alf. says he can make;
a success of it if Mike keeps away.
Austin Murry spit tobacco juice on
Dug McCall's feet which raised a racket)
and kicked over Beldin's work bench,
upset a pail of paint and all vent hom»>
in a bad humor.
On Saturday, Harry Decker fell from
a lumber pile and injured his .id#-
quite seriixisly.
What makes soma of the boys a c-t no
nervous when you mention the fact
that the Fourth is approaching?
Ask Dr. Corbett and Harvo Smith
about those big fish they saw under
the First Pork wagon bridge, but be
carefjul that you stand at a respectfu!
distance. How about those eels you
speared that moonlight night, boys?
We are sorry to learn that John C.
I.ogue, who has been sulToring severely
for some years with a cancer in che
face, is nearing death's door. He is an
old settler here and has a great many
friends.
Joe M.says lie is terribly ashamed of
the Liars' Club since they took the
reins from his hands. Before that
time they boasted 01 a proud record,
but now they were nowhere. Any
school boy could discount them now irj
telling the truth.

Bad management keeps more people
in poor circumstances than any other
one cause. To be successful one must
look ahead and plan ahead so thai
when a favorable opportunity
itself he is ready to take advantage of
it. A little forethought will also save
much expense and valuable time. A
prudent and careful man will keep a
bottle nf Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera
and Diarrhoea Remedy in the house,
the shiftless fellow will wait until ne
cessity compels it and then ruin his
best horse for a doctor and have
a big doctor bill to pay, besides; on*
