"Let no man be punished," is now an excellent motto for the law abiding people of Kentucky- Mr. Bryan's far Western trip is to be a 10,000 mile affair, with a rear-eml speech at every stopping place. "Cotton Jumps to Ten Cents," says the Savannah Tribune. Thus the McKinley prosperity invades the South. The Democratic leaders propose to see to it that a vast amount of grumbling and faultfinding follows the flag. There is one thing quite certain. President MeK inley's administra tion is not swayed by New York's bubonic journalism. The Republican party will re ceive valuable assistance this year from the good Orator Puff who speaks from the top of the factory smokestack. The city of New York was turn ed over to Tammany by the hue and cry of "home rule." There has been a reign of plain larceny ever since. Municipal reform in New York has reached that point where the officials of that city tremble all the time that a grand jury is in ses sion. Feeling sure that lie has cornered the Kansas City nomination, Mr. Bryan thinks that it is safe for him togo about the country talking about the wickedness of monopoly. Messrs. Carnegie and Uriels have adjusted their differences and the coke and steel interests controlled by them will be combined under a new charter. The bureau of engraving and printing is running on double time. This has been rendered necessary by the example set by the manu facturing institutions of the coun ty. All of the great newspapers of the country are opposed to the principles contained in the Chicago platform. But this fact is explain ed by Mr Bryan with the one word "conspiracy." It is confidently believed that the next notable thing in the South Dakota divorce line will be the le gal separation of the Hon. Richard Franklin Pettigrew from his official position. When Mr. JJryan gave his un qualified indorsement toGoebelism in Kentucky he placed a marked impediment in his favorite speech about "government without the consent of the governed." R. B. Stone, of Bradford, an nounces his candidacy for Congress in this issue of the PRESS. Mr. Stone is eminently qualified for the position and should he receive the nomination would no doubt repre sent the district with credit. < iov. Stone has appointed \Vm. L. Schaeffer, of Chester, as Su preme Court reporter, to succeed ('apt. \V. C. Kress, of Lock Haven, whose term h..s just expired. Mr. Schaeffer was one of Ihe gentlemen •who accompanied JI on. William A. Stone through Hit! state prior to his election. Obituary. GEORGE DILLMAN HICKS, born Jan. ! Ist, 1881, died at the home of his par ents at Cameron, Pa., March l'2th, 1900, aged 19 years, two months and 11 days. Deceased was the eldest son of Mr. and Mrs. S. S. Hicks. The young man was kind and true to his father and mother and all members of his family, He was loved by all who knew him and had a kind word for everybody. Our Savior saw fit tore move him from earth's toil, but as we saw him pass away, it seemed hard, but Jesus says "My will be done." Soon our time will come togo and we pray our lot may be as thy dear son, kind and true. Our hearts arc sad ami lonely, Since George passed away; His days 011 earth were cumbered. With you he could not stay. ilis life of toil is ended, He rests from grief and care; At home with blessed Jesus, We hope to meet him there. Your loss I know is heavy, You miss his gentle care; In mansions Jesus promised. Will surely meet him there. For soon he conies in glory, With all his Saints to reign; With rapture then to greet him, And never part again. The funeral took place at Cameron Sunday, March 25th —Rev. Mulliner officiating. w. L. D. Another Big Engine Order. The Pennsylvania Railroad Company has just ordered forty additional heavy freight engines from the Baldwin works and the Juniata shops are working night and day on engine orders. The new engines to be built at the Baldwin works and Juniata shops are solidationa | and freight moguls, designed some what similar to the class H-6 and the | G-4A machines now in use on the main line and the lines west of Pittsburg. A great many of the new engines just ordered are for lines west of Pittsburg. It is understood that the Panhandle will use 20 or more of the big moguls lonI on this end of the road as soou as the new bridges are completed in thePitts j burg district.—Renovo News. Struck a (lusher. The issue of the Seneca Advertiser of March 9, published at Tiffin, 0., contains the following concerning an oil well of which W. L. Hamilton of I Campbell, Stuben county, well known in Emporium, is half owner. There is no further question about there being a large pool of oil under | this city, or closely adjacent tp it. That fact was clearly demonstrated about noon Tuesday. At that time, what is known as the Van Nette well | was shot and the result of the shooting i exceeded the fondest hopes of those \ who drilled the well. The oil shot up fully 500 feet above the derrick and submurged the ground i with the fluid for acres around the well. Mercantile Tax. The Auditor-General has decided that under the new law mercantile ap praisers must not publish the amount of tax each dealer is required to pay. The new law makes it necessary for each person doing business to pay a tax and the appraisers will make a thorough canvass and examine all books. It means more money for the county. The omission of the names keeps from the public the amount of business each merchant does in a year and in the event of big success he is not likely to have his rent raised by an unscrupulous landlord when the latter becomes aware of an increase in trade.

V.) dairyman called at a drugstore there for a doctor to come and see his child, then very sick with croup. Not finding the doctor in, in: left word for him to conie at once on his return. lie also bought a bottle of Chamberlain's Coujdi Remedy, which he hoped would give some relief until the doctor should arrive. In a few hours lie returned, saying the doctor need not come as the child was much better. The druggist, Mr.Otto Scholz, says the family has since recommended Chamberlain's Cough Remedy to their neighbors and friends until he lias a constant demand for it from that part of the country.

The Kind You Have Always Bought j s CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, MARCH 29, 1900. Sinnemahonlnjj Liars Club. The Sinnemahoning Liars Club i.sin a flourishing condition with plenty of capi tal and tirst-class members. < )ne of our members told a good one at last night's session which was applauded highly. He was 011 a steam boat on Lake Krie and had an occasion to visit the engine and boiler room, where he found they used a colored man for a weight on ths safety valve and every time the steam blew off, it sent him through the smoke stack, which also kept the stack clean. Some ot the members doubted his statement and J. Y. Ilanscome was referred to, who said it was a fact, so it was recorded on the minutes. ISeldin and I'ap Blodget were expelled irom the club for six months, neither of them will tell a lie or drink anything stronger than water, which is contrary to the laws of the order, and it created quite a bit of excitement. One of our members rode the Odd Fellows goat at Driftwood and reports having a fine time. Pap Hlodget was up to Driftwood a lew nights ago and came in contact with Angus McDon ald, after a few remarks the old fellow threw up the sponge and tackled Sam McOoole, who contemplates joining our club in the near future. Should we succeed in getting a few good members from Driftwood we will be in first-class trim when we make our an nual visit to Emporium this spring. While in Emporium last week I had the j pleasure of attending a meeting of that club and witnessed the initiation ot "Jack" Kackenmeister, who after the ceremonies distinguished himself by tell j ing a story entitled the "owl," or the "broad faced hen," which certainly is a good one and proved beyond a doubt that he will make a front rank member. "Jack" has had the experience in this line and all that is needed now is a chance to expound. With such talent as the new member, Dalrymple, Ed. McNerney and Ed. Morse, the Emporium club is bonnd to prosper. Being no other business Alex. De | Shetler called for refreshments and the club adjourned. F IDE. Sinnemahoning, "There is just one girl," is now the favorite song with Otto McCoy since the arrival of the little lady who came to make her future home at his house. One of our young men is pretty nearly discouraged. He says he don't mind the girl's father keeping a bulldog but lie has to dodge two other ugly dogs 011 his way home. By the time June roses shed their fragrance on the ambient air at least three more weddings shall have been consu mated, unless dame rumor is wholly un reliable. It was very gratifying to the many frieuds of Rev. M. C. Piper, to learn that lie was to remain with us another year. He was given a hearty reception on his return from conference, on which occasion he was properly "pounded" and made to feel that his labors are appreciated. The venerable ex-President of the liars club visited llenovo a short time ago and stayed over night. Me was given a room with a funny little lamp hanging by a string in the middle of the room, and in trying to extinguish the thing it came loose from the ceiling, began to spit fire and sparks at the dignified guest, and he says chased him all around tin.' room. Of course Pap yelled for some one to "come and take it away," and the racket he made soon brought the night clerk and police to his rescue, when they found him on his back, in the corner, kicking viciously at that pesky iittle glass bulb which was finally captured and returned to its proper place, and a generous dose of the ex-President's favorite prescription soon restored him to his usual quiet dig nity, but he could not be induced to stay in the same room with that bottled light ning. but would either sleep in the barn or walk home; and the next time he goes away to institute another club he will take a lantern along. JOE. Sterling Run. A. W. Mason is waiting for a flood. Ilutnor has it that the wages of' the employes of the tannery will be cut down April Ist. We hope the rumor is un founded. Ed. Norton, brother of Chas. Norton, Supt. of the tannery here, was badly in jured in the trolly wreck near Bradford, on Monday, and is not expected to live. A little child of Emmanuel Yerby, near Cameron, was buried at I'ine sire ton Tuesday. Services were held in M. E. Church, in this place, by llev. Mulliner, of Cameron. The parents of certain young ladies of this place should be better acquainted with their actions at night. We believe in young people enjoying each others company, but not in making a nuisance of their gaiety and disturbing the peace of others. We hope it will not be neces sary to publish their names in full. A number of our citizens contemplate moving away this Spring. Ifcif SSOO Reward.
