BEATON. Mr. and Mrs. Ward Beaton have the sympathy of our citizens in the death : of their only child, aged two months, on Thursday last. The funeral took I place on Saturday, short services being i held in the Catholic church. A Beautiful /Monument. One of the largest and most expen | sive monuments in Warren county has ; lately been erected on the lot of 11. A. i Jamison in Oakland cemetery. It is of i Quincy, Mass., granite, sarcophagus ! pattern, with ornamental columns and | caps beautifully carved. Surmounting : this pedestal is emblematic statue of Hope that is 8 feet, six inches in height, ; this making the total height of the monument twenty feet from the . ground. It is from the works of Foley 1 Bros., Olean, N. Y.—Warren Mirror. "Liberty and Union, One and Inseparable."— WEßSTKß. EMPORIUM, PA., THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 1,1900. Death of Patrick Tracey. Patrick Tracey, aged 68 years, died at Sterling Run, last Friday, after an illness of a few days. His funeral took place on Monday; interment taking place at Driftwood. Mr. Tracey had been an employee of the Sterling Run tannery for very many years. Handsome Hearse. The new funeral car recently pur chased by the Emporium Furniture Company was used last Saturday for the first time at the funeral of Mr. Beaton's child. It is a very handsome . hearse and represents the very latest i style in that line of work. The University Association. Program for Monday evening, Feb. 6th: Helen Hunt Jackson, Miss Abbie Metzger; William Dean Howells—bio graphical sketch, Mr. Ralph Davison; "An Open-eyed Conspiracy," Mrs. Balcom; sketch of Henry James, Miss Addie Garrity; "The Great Good Place," Mrs. Bryan. Report Not True. There has been a rumor afloat in Emporium for some time, that Mrs. A. Kresge of Dußois was dead. Mr. Kresge has received numers letters in regards to the truth of the matter, and in a letter received from him he says:"l am glad to say to the readers of the PRESS and our friends, that the report is not true. Although Mrs. Kresge has been seriously ill for some time, she is now in a fair way for a speedy recovery." Republicans of (jrove. Editor Press: I have been informed that I have been placed in nomination for Judge fo Election by the Democrats of Grove township, against my friend E. L. Losey, Republican nominee. As lam a full fledged Republican I make this statement: I dont want any one to vote for me for said office, as Mr. Losey is a good fellow and very capable for the office and will fill the place with honor to himself and the party he rep resents I allowed the use of my name before the Democratic caucus through an error, or mistake of mine over the 'phone. I was not aware that the Democrats held their caucus the same night that we held ours and supposed it was a member of my own party who was talking with me over the 'phone at my place of business. I don't want the office, so please do not vote for me for Judge of Election of Grove township. I shall do my best to elect the full Republican ticket as nominated. Yours respectfully, M. BLOGETT. Sinnemahoning, Pa., Jan. 29th, 1900. Better Settle Up First. I. 11. Leggett, who has been a de faulting collector since 1874, at which time judgment was entered against him and his bondsmen, G. W. Warner and Benjamin Sweesy, in the Court of Common Pleas of Cameron county for the sum of §313.89, since which only §IOO appears to have been paid. The judgment was received in 1894 for the sum of $261 30, which, with the interest, amounts at this writing in round numbers to $365.00. Had not the tax payers better ask him to pay this up before giving him an opportunity to spend any more of their money ?—ln dependent. The above item appeared In last week's Independent and is a great in justice to Mr. I. H. Leggett. We have no excuses to offer for the many short comings of the Sliippen school board; know nothing, and have no desire to know, of the cause of the disagree- | ments between the editor of the Inde- j pendent and the school board, but we j do happen to know that the charge j made above against one of our old ; citizens and friends is without founda tion in fact. In 1874 Mr. Leggett did owe Shippen school district $315.89. Since that time he has paid the debt and interest, amounting to $335.30. We hope the Independent will rectify this i error. (ioebel Shot. FRANKFORT, Ky., Jan. 30.—Senator Goebel was shot and seriously wound ed at ten minutes after 11 this morn ing. The shooting was done by some man at present unknown. Mr. Goebel was walking up the sidewalk leading to the senate Chamber when a man in the second story of the building imme diately to the east of the Capitol fired upon him. Five shots were fired and Goebel fell to the ground seriously wounded. He was at once carried to the Capitol Hotel. The wildest ex citement was instantly created in the town and within ten minutes after Mr. Goebel had been shot the streets were filled with men carrying rifles and re volvers. A guard was instantly thrown around the building in which the shots were fired to prevent the escape of the assassin. A force of men dashed into the building and ran up to the room from which the shots were fired, but could find no one. The guard was doubled and Adjutant General Collier, an ardent political apponent of Goebel took charge of it, leading the work of finding the man who fired the shots. The wildest excitement prevailed all over the town. "They have assas sinated Senator Goebel!" was shouted into the door of the House of Repre sentatives an instant after the shots rang out. The members rushed pell mell over one another down the steps to the front of the building, coatless and hatless. In five minutes word had flown and hundreds poured into the State House yard and it looked as if a riot would result. Cooler heads advised the sur rounding of the building from which the shots came and in less than three minutes 50 special police surrounded it and a detail began a search of the in terior for the assassin. LATER. —GobeI not fataly hurt; ball struck him in right side, passing through body, coming out below shoulder blade. At noon a report from Senator Goebel's room is that the wounded man is resting easily. Dr. McMurray and other Louisville speci alists have been telegraphed for and will arrive here at 4:30 o'clock to asist in caring for the wounded man. STILL LATER (Jan. 31.) —During yesterday afternoon the patient was slightly improved. No hopes, how ever, are entertained for his ultimate recovery. Soldiers are pouring into Frankfort in anticipation of more serious trouble. At 3.45 p. rn., the condition of Mr. Goebel was slightly improved. Senator Goebel has been sworn in as Governor of Kentucky by Chief Justice Hazelrigg. He immediately issued a proclama tion disbanding the milita. "Gov." Goebel also quickly appoint ed Brigadier-General John B. Castle man U. S. V., retired, Adjutant-Gen eral. Goebel was sworn in as Governor of Kentucky at 9 o'clock to night. Prop ped up in bed he received the oath of office. It was administered by Chief Justice Hazelrigg. Olivine Downey. Our readers, acquainted with the young man, no doubt are anxious for news as to his condition. We cannot give much hope for his recovery. Yesterday his mother,who is at his bed side, reported his condition a little easier, after recovering from pneumo nia. The young man's disease is what is known as Hodgkins disease, for which there has never yet been a remedy. D. S. McDonald, who died about three years ago, was similarly effected. The young man has the best medical talent in the country and the case has excit ed the medical fraternity of Philadel phia. The Rock Band is the only enter tainment of it's kind, in the world. At the opera house, Monday evening, Feb. 12th. Benefit Mountaineer Hose Co. BRIEF fIENTION. Cold weather in dead earnest. This county will be tested again, in the near future, for oil or gas. Last Saturday Edward Read and son were kiled by a falling tree, near Kane. The famous Kinzua bridge will be replaced this year by a stronger and heavier structure. The Mandolin club will give a dance Friday evening. An enjoyable time assured all who attend. The Odd Fellows of Bradford have purchased the old oil exchange building at that place for $30,000. The Republican Congressional Con" vention caucus will be held in the counties of Cameron, McKean, Warren and Venango, on Saturday, April 7th. F. B. Hackett, years ago a resident of Emporium, was found dead at Ulysses, last week, Monday. A mis spent life. J. H. Day will have a new story in the PRESS every week, having made a contract to that effect for 1900. He is a wide-awake merchant. The net earnings of the W. N. Y. & P. railroad for the past year show an increase of 26 per cent., or more than $140,000 as compared with the same period in 1898. Bishop Tobias Mullen is again at St. Vincent's hospital, but his condition remains as usual. The hospital au thorities report that he is resting com fortably.—Erie Dispatch. The sage of the Boliver Breeze thus sums up the short skirt question: Woman, lovely woman—if you must wear a short skirt first be sure you are neither bow-legged or pigeon-toed. The Goebelites in Kentucky are de termined to oust the Republican legis lators whose seats are contested, and they furthermore intend to oust Gov. Taylor and seat Goebel as Governor. Nobody who has given the matter any attention now doubts that adver tising which is kept running all the time in a live paper, changed frequent ly and rrade bright and snappy, pays abundantly. Wm. Carter, who is employed at the furnace, fell from one of the trestles, last week, dislocating his left shoulder and receiving other injuries that will lay him up for awhile. Dr. Bardwell is attending him. The Methodist denomination has planned the twentieth century move ment campaign to raise $20,000,000 and save 2,000,000 souls within the next two years, the money to be used to pay off all church indebtedness and as endow ments to the University and Genesee Wesleyan Seminary. The Raftsmen's Journal hits it about right when it says: "A good paper has a genuine claim for the support of the public. Prompt payment of sub scriptions is the practical form of ap preciation,and makes the subscriber an everlasting friend of the publisher, and the publisher a firm friend of the sub scriber." An exchange says: "Call a girl a chick and she smiles; call a woman a hen and she howls. Call a young woman a witch, and she is pleased; call an old woman a witch and she is in dignant. Call a girl a kitten, and she rather likes it; call a woman a cat and she'll hate you. Women are queer. If you call a man a gay dog it will flatter him. Call him a pup, a hound or a cur and he'll alter the map of your face. He don't mind being called a bull or ' bear, and yet he will object to being mentioned as a calf or a cub. Men are queer, too." "The First Night of a Play,' "Through the Slums with Mrs. Balling ton Booth," "What it Means to be a Librarian of Congress, and"The Pew and the Man in It," by lan Maclaren, I are among the February Ladies' Home ! i Journal. An American Mother answers j conclusively "Have Women Robbed ! Men of Their Religion ?" and there is | an interesting article on Mile. Cham- j inade, the famous composer and pianist. 1 Another article describes "Frank Stock- i ton's New Home in West Virginia." | The opening chapters of"The Parson's j Butterfly," a new serial by Mrs Chas. ' Terry Collins, are also presented, i Molly Donahue discusses a woman's rights with Mr. Dooley, and "Edith and 1 in Paris," "Her Boston Experi ences," and"The Autobiography of a I Girl" continue with increasing I interest. The pictorial feature, "In Honor of St. Valentine," by Alice ! Barber Stephens, will recall some happy, bygone days. By The Curtis j Publishing Company, Philadelphia.
