DELOS BURLI NO A M E. Si/erville, Pa., Feb. 20, 1899. (Jen."Wheeler has gone to Manila. Republican State Convention ! Uig. '_M. This great big nation is boom- ! ing and calamity howlers are not ; in force now. The New Nation and the Old Fourth. One year ago the Spa nish war j reached its climax, and the Ameri can navy at Santiago completed the work started by Dewey at Manila two months before. It is doubtful whether for a long time to come the Nation will feel the same thrill that pervaded it then, for from one end of the land to the other the quickening impulse of a new life was known to be stirring. Dimly and without analyzing it, ali understood that a new nation was being born from the elements that had composed the old one. A broader American manhood was leaping into life and the day which commemorated the advent of the child one hundred and twenty-two years before marked the passage from swaddling clothes and short trousers to the full privileges and responsibilities of manhood. It is no idle whim to compare the growth of this nation to that of a man. In a far more serious way than most of us imagine that analogy hold good. When this country interfered with Spain in h< r management of the Cuban question, by that very act it as sumed the responsibily of solving the questions and problems that would grow out of Ihe changed situation. No longer relying on other nations to do what was right ia the premises, this country vol untary gave bonds that right would be done and the present Fourth of July finds u.- bringing to a close the various tasks that have con fronted us. The lititle American with liis small patriotism and bis s! : rtsiL'btednesr has not appreci ated the va'st results that have air ndy been accomplished but those who have gone deeper into the heart of things know that be tween to-day and this date last year the nation lias taken a most tremendous stride forward. it is well to remember the asso ciations that cluster so thickly around the inception of the day, but it is far better to call to mind what this year and this generation have done to make the day of greater significance than ever. The task set by the founders of the Nation in 177<» has been more than accomplished. The people carried out the plans then laid down for their guidance, but the time came when the Nation growing too large for its cramped conditions stretched itself and burst the restraining bonds with ease. The outcome lias been a new nation and a un ite! one, with ideas and aspirations that were scarcely dreamed of be fore. In one year, from Fourth of July to Fourth of July, we have moved from the position of a self-restrain ■ self-interest d an-i si'lf-distrust ful people to a Nation ready to take its full share of the responsi bilities and profits of the world's work. Thus while it is really the old day that we celebrate it is a New Nation that is doing the cele l.it ing. —Philadelphia Inquirer. Kicks said that July will open with 112; r weather, warmer about the third, storms from 3rd to sth, followed by cool weather after the 7th. About the 1 !h to 10th very warm weather and B'.'.inmer storms, with light ftorins during the balance of the month, ac companied hy blustering winds, light ning and thunder. Persons troubled with diarrhoea will be interested in the experience of Mr. V/. M. Bush, clerk of Hotel Dorraiice, Providence, R. I Ho says:"For several vears 1 have been almost a o.istant sufferer* from] diarrhoea, the frequent attacks completely prostrating Ei and rendering mc unfit for my duties at thialiotc l . About two years ago a traveling salesman kindly gave me a small bottle of Chamberlain's C .tic, Cholera and . )iar : Remedy. J i.'h to my -urpri • :ind delight its elects were immediate. Whenever 1 felt symptoms of the disease I would 112. rtify myself against the attack with a ft,, doses of this valuable remedy. The result has been very satisfactory and almost complete relief from tho afflic tion." For sale by L. Taggart. July WASHINGTON LETTER. (From our Regular Correspondent.) WASHINGTON, July 10th. 1899. President McKinley has too much confidence in Americon and English common sense to share the fears expressed in some quarters, that the failure to agree on a boun dry line between Alaska and Can ada. which seems likely to result from Canada's attempt to play the grab game, will result in any break of the pleasant relations of the U. 8. and Great liritain. lb- realizes that the failure to agree will be the cause of considerable irritation, and possibly of some disputed ter ritory, but does not believe that it; will dangerously involve the two governments. I'he President is devoting much j of his time to the selection of ofli cers for the new volunteer regi ment, and hopes to complete the list this week. Gov. Roosevelt spent a day and night in Washing ton. upon the President's invitation for the purpose of giving his advice in regard lo the appointment of some of these officers. The present expectation is that the new regi ments will all be in service by Aug. 15. as the recruiting, which | was started to-day will be rapidly j pushed in all sections. Ex-Congressman <ieo. 11. Davis, of 111., lias not been in politics actively for some time, but lie keeps a close watch on things in his State and is regarded as an authority. Of the political out look he said: "We elect a Gover nor in lUOO, and being a Presiden tial year, the Republican party will have a great advantage, seeing that the State ticket will almost surely carry with the success of the Na tional ticket. The two will go together. There is scarcely a doubt of the continuance of Illinois in the Republican column." Ex-Senator Brown and Hon. Jesse Smith, of ( tab, are in Wash ington trying to get official per mission for the people of north western 1 'tali to pasture their sheep ion the l inta reservation, embrac ing S7~»,000 acres, which was set apart as a forestry reservation under the last Cleveland adminis | t rat ion. Mr. Prown said on the | subject : ' People wonder at crime in the western country, and yet I these immense reservations, cover j ing thousands of acres, are left as j regular hid ing places for cut-throats of every character. These reserva tions, and especially those in the far West, have practically no police | protection, and it can be readily j seen that if the government would permit their use for pasturing our sheep, this would give the reserva tion protection that it would not j otherwise get." Speaking of politics Mr. Brown said that ! Uryanism was rapidly dying in the West and predicted that President McKinley would receive the elec toral votes of I tali and Colorado. •There is neither surprise nor alarm in official circles on account [ of the few eases of yellow fever among our troops in Cuba. Sur geon-General Sternberg, of the army, said: •• We have anticipated yellow fever among the troops and i prepared for it, and never expected | to get through the occupation 'of the island without some cases of the disease. Maj. Gen. Brooke understands the situation. He lias ! as his chief surgeon a competent officer, and anything called for by him will be immediately sent. That there may be plenty of sur geons available, additional immune surgeons have been ordered to re port to I>r. O' lioilly.' * Col. Henderson received a warm welcome from his numerous Wasli | ington friends, during his stay of | several days in the city. Neither 1 his successful Speakership cam ! paign. nor the shoving up, by newspaper writers, of his military title to ''General," which seems to j have been at once accepted by the public in general—lion. Thos. J. Henderson, who represented the seventh Illinois district in the ; House from the -14 th to the rd Congress. was breveted Brigadier j General in the Civil War. but Hon. I). 15. Henderson never got higher in rank than Col. of the itith lowa ; infantry—has made the slightest j change in him. He greeted all his I friends from President McKinley down to the humblest private eiti j zen, in the same whole-souled way that has made him one of the most i popular men who ever sat in Con ! gress, and which probably also ! made him sure of becoming Speaker | of the House. Spam's Greatest Need. Mr. R. P. Olivia, of Barcelona, Spain, : spends his winters at Aiken, S. <!. 1 Weak nerves had caused him severe pains in the back of lis liead. On using Electric Bitters, America's great est blood and nerve remedy, all pain ! soon left him. He says this grand I medicine is what his country needs. All America knows that it cures liver and kidney trouble, purifies the blood, tones up the stomach, strengthens the nerves, puts vim, vigor and new life into every muscle, nerve and organ of the body. If weak, tired or ailing you need it. Every bottle guaranteed, only 50 cents. Sold by L. Taggart, I druggist. CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, JULY 13, 1899. ALL AROUND THE COUNTY. Cameron. It was rather quiet around Cameron on the Fourth, as most of our towns men were enjoying themselves else where. Mr. John Phoenix, of Bradford, was home on a visit last week. Mr. H. W. Brown, the Penfield pho tographer, and Mr A. P. Yingling were the guests of Mr. Albert Lord and family last week. Rev. Mulliner preached a very able and interesting sermon last Sunday evening. Bkn. Slnnemahonlng. The Sinnemahoning Liars Club that ! was booked togo fishing on the Fourth j failed to materialize owing to C. W. Beldin and J. V. Hanscom having sprained their backs in a contest with Pap Berfield and Harvey Smith, but Wyside "Juniors" tilled the engage ment successfully. Pap Blodget caught two bass and one smelt, and got away with his share of ''snake bite" The "Juniors" wili hold a meeting to-night to initiate a few applicants, JackCafrey and Hank Shade and a few more who have been on probation. W. H. Michaels was fined one bottle of beer for not, having told a lie in three days. Harry Decker, our grand chief prevari cator, proposes to match our noble talent against Wm. McDonald and Fritz Seger for a quart of gin. Smike Blinzler, who has won distinction as George Siler 11, will referee, and will receive a smell of the gin and a bite of Lemberger to eradicate any bad taste in his mouth resulting from rank de cisions. Frank Buck will be balloted upon and, if favorable, will be slid in on a rail and stood on his head in the spitoon until thoroughly seasoned. He will make a good member, and, being an experienced chaperon, he can beat ! George Skinner all hollow in conduct ing strangers to rattlesnake dens. FIDE Buckwalter. Miss Ethel Fisher is visiting friends at Dußois. Old Black Maria is back again and Pat is happy. W. L Thomes drove through our town last Sunday, enroute for More Hill. Luie says he is just learning to wait on the ladies. We notice he is getting plenty of practice. \V. C. Heath has added a celery bed to his garden. We hope it will prove a better crop than did his onions, j Mr. and Mrs. Pellam and family re- I turned to Glen Hazel after spending I a quiet Fourth with the old folks. A certain young man of our town is ! in the live stock business up to his j neck. He even had a calf to sell on I the Fourth. M. R, Hellyor has added to his farm a Buckeye Mowing machine, ahorse rake, a top buggy, a shovel plow, a harrow, eleven swarms of bees, a bar rel of salt and bargained for a barrel of pepper, but backed out and only took twenty-live pounds. There will be no such a place as Buckwalter after July 15th. Our post office will then be discontinued and thereafter our town will be known by the station name "Howard Siding." We are very sorry our postmaster gave it u]>, but he says ho did not make his salt and the postoflicebother ed him so he could not enjoy the flavor of the salt he did get. BEESWAX. Beech wood. All our farmers are busy haying these days. The excelsior factory is running every day. Dr. C. H. Dumbolton visited in Em porium last Friday. Mr Robert Wylie, of Pittsburg, is visiting relatives here. Mr. Harvy Geswender. of Straights, visited friends here recently. Quite a number of our young people attended the races at St. Marys.

Mr. Clarence Morrison has quit working for John Nyheart and is now employed by R. P. Bingeman. The Rev. Hopkins preached to a large congregation in the Wesleyan church last Thursday evening. James San ford see ma to be all smiles of late. Wonder if that new lady friend has anything to do with it ? The many friends of little Miss Linda j Wainwright will be pleased to learn I that she is recovering from the painful I accident she sustained in Emporium j on July 3d. ti The evil that men d > is soon forgot l ten —by themselves.

Taggart. i v3i-n2-ly There never wan a man yet who I found it to a disadvantage to learn a trade, and a person with an occupation is independent, for he is then able to earn his living by his skill. Boys ! should be given trades no matter how well off they may expect to be, for I there is no certainty but adversity may overtake them. Clerks who are em- j ployed behind a counter measuring off goods, in which work there is no exer- | cise for the muscle or brain and to the I great mass of them no outlook toward j anything higher or better, they are the j ones who bitterly regret that they did not learn some trade which would j command them better wages and make them independent, and not subject to j the fluctuating fortunes of this or that business house where they can be em- j ployed.—Ex. A Narrow Escape. Thankful words written by Mrs. Ada E. Hart, of flroton, S. D. "Was taken with a bad cold which settled on my ! lungs; cough set in and finally tcrrnin- j ated in Consumption. Four doctors gave me up saving I could live but a short time. I gave myself up to my Savior, determined if I could not stay with my friends on earth, I would meet my absent ones above. My hus band was advised to get Dr. King's New Discovery for Consumption, Coughs and Colds. J gave it a trial, took in all eight bottles.
