EMPORIUM, PA., THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 9,1899.
j "CARL BROWN AS AN EXPANSION
IST," AND HIS UNIQUE OUTFIT.
Mow "General Prosperity" Knocked
His March Out.
| Editor Prcum—
I was greatly amused, interested
I and surprised at a speech recently de
j livcred by Carl Brown, one of the
I famous "Coxey march," some few
years ago. In the Last you do not
hear much of him, anymore, but he is
endeavoring to make himself very
j audible out here in the west by his
| conspicuous outfit which is very unique
j for odity, it is a house built on four
j wheels, and in the style of an old fash
j ioned log cabin, painted black and
I red, if I remember correctly;has one or
j more windows and a door in the rear;
a small platform is attached on hinges
which is dropped down and supported
j by a stick underneath, while he is
speaking. This novel house is drawn
by two tired and weary looking horses.
His girl wife generally accompanies
him, remaining inside the log cabin,
she is greatly devoted to her "hero i
husband?" Brown drives around the !
streets until he gets a crowd gathered, j
always speaking from the rear j
of the cabin on this small plat-1
form, attired in his famous buckskin j
coat and a small cap on his head. He i
is some what of a skctchu and always j
illustrates his subjects by drawing the J
pictures of whomsoever or whatever j
he is going to speak about. He has i
reformed in his views, concerning the j
government and trusts for a very good j
reason, as he himself relates. He was
here early in the summer organizing an !
army to march onto Washington, com-!
posed chiefly of farmers, and idle ■
workmen, tramps and loafers, to better j
and in behalf of the "Labor question." !
On his return this fall, he was most
bitterly disappointed; he had no army,
all the men were busy employed, had
joined the "army of workers" farmers
had their fields of wheat and corn.
Other laborers had all the work they
could do, "general prosperity" had
knocked Brown out and his march was
a dream. So now he has become an
expaiisionUt , delivering from his same
log cabin rostrum, his advocations of
the principles of what an houragohede- i
nounced and was ready to destroy. "It j
is wonderful how the mind of man will <
wonder" when the dollar is in view. ;
However it is always applaudable when |
they seek the right way, whether from j
choice or complusion, and endeavor to j
advocate the truths and principles that
goto make a good government and
better citizens. Brown also went to
Colorado this fall, there he met the
same defeat; no time for marching,they
were too busy forming a trust on the i
Roekgford melons, so Brown "ate of j
the fruit," and trusts he has reformed.
Ho was camping on the outskirts of the j
city and would occasionally drive in j
and amuse the crowd by his drawings j
and new ideas on expansion.

Death's Doings.
STRAIT.
MRS. CAROLINE STRAIT, wife of our j
townsman Edward Strait, died at the |
family residence on Fifth street,Empo- j
rium, on Friday, Nov. 3, 1899, aged 32 i
years and two days. Deceased had |
been in poor health for a long time, i
suffering with diabetes and it was only j
a few days that she gave up and took j
to her bed. She leaves a husband and j
three little children to mourn her death, j
The funeral took place from the family j
residence on Sunday, at 2 p. m. Rev. j
MoCaslin officiating. Interment was |
made in Newton cemetery. The PRESS |
deeply sympathizes with the bereaved
husband and motherless children.

The Result.
The election in this county passed
off q" -:tly, there being a very light
vote sast. Col. Barnett, for State
Treasurer, received the full vote of the
Republicans, and his majority was
fully up to the estimate made before
election. Cameron Republicans took
no stock in the character assassins and
voted straight on state ticket. On the
county ticket J. D. Swope was elected
Sheriff by eighty-seven votes, while
Mr. E. W. Gaskill was reelected county
commissioners by a safe vote. The
county auditors, Messrs. C. L. Butler
and W. 11. Loguo each received a flat
tering vote. M. Brennan was elected
minority auditor.
Tho great surprise of the day
was the defeat of Chas. Gleason,
one of our candidates for county com
missioner. For several davs it had
been rumored that certain Democrats
were quietly conducting a canvass,
having the defeat of Mr. A. F. Vogt in
view. Of course this led the friends
of Mr. Vogt to exert tliemselve more
than was really necessary. "Dead"
voting as will be seen by the returns, >
was largely indulged in by the voters
of Lumber, Gibson and Grove. The
new board will be composed of A. F.
Vogt, E. W. Gaskill and A. W. Mason,
all gentlemen well qualified for the
duties.
The County Auditors elected are C.
L. Butler, W. H. Logue and M. Bren
nan, all well adopted, for the arduous
duties.

Big Lumber.
Tho Pennsylvania Joint Land and
Lumber Company are actively engag
ed cutting 8,000,000 feet of pine logs on
Salt Run, in Cameron county. This is
the finest and most valuable piece of
pine land in tho State and it is a burn
ing shame that the stock is to be haul
ed by Goodyears and delivered at Wil
liamsport for manufacture at the New
berry mills. Mr. E. B. Campbell, the
Supt., who by the way is a pleasant
gentleman, was encountered by a
PRESS man one day hist week. Mr.
Campbell informed our scribe that
their scaler, Mr. A. IL Harris, had
recently reported from the first million
feet scaled, fourteen logs measuring
from 42 to 54 inches at tho butt.
Among tho large trees were two
that were bouncers. From one
they cut seven sixteen foot and one
ten foot logs, scaling 6,523 feet. The
other furnished eight sixteen foot logs
and scaled 7,642 feet. This sounds
liko olden times in Cameron county
and reminds one of the days when
Hunts Run furnished tho handsomest
pine ever rafted down the river.
BRIEF HENTION.
Some of the people are earestly de
bating the Sharkey-Jeffories fight. The
debate will last all winter.
S. S. Hacket has the contract with
Shippen school district to deliver the
Clear Creek scholars to school.
R. C. Dodson has just received an
elegant line of pocket books for both
ladies and gents. All the latest fads.
Mark Hanna says, very truthfully,
that the people wanted a little change
in '92 and they elected Grover Cleve
land. They got the change but not the
change they wanted.
When a small boy wants a match
with which to light a cigarette, he pre
fixes his request for one with the word
"please " He then goes home and
says: "Pass the butter."
Gen. Joubert, Commander-in-Chief
of the Boer army, is a native of Penn
sylvania. He was born in Fayette
county, and went to South Africa when
a young man. A sister of his wife is a
resident of Pittsburg.
Wm. McGee is busily engaged organ
izing an army for a big bear hunt.
Bear meat will be a drug on the mar
ket when he returns from tho cam
paign. Judge Brennan has not yet de
cided whether he will go along or not.
The Lock Haven Republican claims
a Jew peddler was robbed last Saturday,
while stopping at a Sinnamahoning
hotel. Goods to the value of §l5O were
taken. We guess some member of Pap
Blodgett's Sunday school class imposed
on that reporter.
Never in the history of Cameron
county was thero as little drunkness on
election day. Yet the returns from
some sections of the county would lead
one to think thero surely had been
liquor or some other influence at work
equally as strong.
Judge Olmsted, of McKean county
has ordered all convicted illegal liquor
sellers who are now serving their time,
to work out their sentence at breaking
stono at $1 a day. By this way they
will be doing practical good and illegal
liquor selling will not be so popular.
The great numbers of North Ameri
can's circulated throughout Cameron
county by our friend Hockley, chair
man of the democratic party had a
wonderful effect. Col. Barnett received
the largest vote cast for any candidate
on either state ticket in theis county.
The people of Cameron took no stock
in the character assassins.
The author of David Harum died so
poor that when his estate was settled
up his three children had nothing. The
book, however, proved a bonanza for
the children, they having realized up to
June Ist of this year t?bout SII,OOO, and
since than the book has been sell
ing at the rate of fifteen hundred a day,
so that their future welfare is secured.
What a pity tho author could not live
to see the great success of his book.
Ex-Representative C. W. Stone, who
concluded his four terms in Congress
on the 3rd of last March, was in Wash
ington recently, according to a news
paper report, closing up his business
affairs and practically saying farewell
to then ational capital. He has no ex
pectations of going to Congress in the
future and has disposed of all the pro
perty of which lie was possessed in
Washington. Although real estate is
still suffering from the drop in prices
which came with the depression of
business a few years ago, Mr. Stone
made a good turn in the sale of his
pretty residence at 46 B street, North
east. lie paid $15,000 for it; lived in it
eight years, and sold it for a little more
than $17,000 cash. This, with his pro.
perty in Warren county and invest
ments on the Pacific coast, makes Mr"
Stone a gentleman of very comfortable"
wealth.—Warren Mirror.
