The Bolivar Breeze has the following to say about the removal of the W. N. Y. & P. R. R. shops from Olean: "Olean peopie are alarmed over the passing of the \V. N. Y. & P. railroad into the hands of the Pennsylvania sys tem, fearing that it may mean the re moval of the big car shops so long a source of much revenue to the business men of the city, to some other point. It would be a body blow to Olean to lose the shops and her citizens will not only make a good fight to retain the present shop 3 which employ some 250 i men but to induce the Pennsylvania company to greatly enlarge the plant. BRIEF HENTION. Business is booming at Sizerville, where about 500 men are employed in the bark woods. The "Flyer" train from Emporium to Buffalo is popular. The train leaves Emporium at 5:15 a. m. The Sunday afternoon train east on P. & E. will be a handy train when the puplic once get onto it. Hummell, who murdered his wife and three children, was hanged at Will iamsport on Tuesday morning at 10:59. A number of prominent officials ot the Pennsylvania R. R. Company pass ed through Emporium yesterday for Buffalo. The oil well being drilled on the Os trutn farm by the"M. M. & M. C 0.," is going along smoothly. The drill is now down about 1200 feet. Seth Nelson, the oldest hunter in Pennsylvania, a resident of Round Is land, at the age of 91 years, has the following record since 1827: Elk, 22; dteer, 428; bears, 41; panthers, 12; wolves, 5, says an exchange. The laSest scheme of the Armour Packing Co., is canning eggs. They separate the yolks 'id the whites, can them, freeze them, anu then put them on the market. They put up thirty dozen in a two gallon can. It is said of Rosco Gonklin that the only joke he was ever known to perpe trate was this drive at the newspapers, which he did not like: "The only per sons permitted to use the pronoun 'we' are editors and people with tape worms." An exchange says that women who are constantly chewing the rag with their husbands and about their neigh bors are hereby notified that the prac tice is a dangerous one, as a new disease known as "lint on the tongues" has made its appearance, and it is said to be caused by chewing the rag too much. What do you think of this? The Cuba Democratic Times says: In the park at Angelica there is a gooseberry bush thriving well up in the branches of a mape! tree, the same having berries on every year. It seems a branch was broken and the spot became rotted and birds dropped the seeds that took root. The land known as Pardee tract, in Chapman and Beech Creek townships, Clinton county, aggregating 22,83 C acres, eighty perches, has passed into possession of the state as a part of its forestry reservation. From Fullerton & McGee a tract of 4,760 acres has also been purchased in Cameron, Grove township, and Clinton counties. In Clinton and Centre counties the state had already purchased the Slaymaker tracts, which contained 12,001 acres, and two similar tracts, together aggre gating 1,217 acres. The total acreage therefore, of the state's possessions, lying in one block on the Susquehanna river, is 40,808 acres. The Republicans of Warren county will be loyal to the straight Republican ticket. There maybe a few who will not support Mr. Sibley, but the major ity of the Republicans will. They are strongly opposed to fusion. The Re publicans have nothing to gain by any such movement. The fusion craze has had its day. If Mr. Emery wanted to be a candidate he should have taken the regular course and gone before the conference. The convention gave Hon. Jos. C. Sibley the unanimous vote of the four counties in the district, and the people will support the action of the conference. Warren county Re publicans are not fusionists.—Warren Mirror. Don't go Into Politics. A tramp met a citizen on the highway and asked him for a donation on the ground that he was a cripple, one of his legs being several inches shorter than the other. The citizen was interested in the case and began to make inquiries: "Were you born that way, my poor fel - low, or did that limb shrink up after you were grown?" "Neither one," an swered the tramp. "My short limb is not the trouble. It is all right. It is the other leg that compels me to ask your charity. I was once a happy and prosperous man with two as good legs as there were in that neck 'o woods. I was fool enough to mix in politics. T ran for office and was in the hands of my friends. You see what my friends did to that leg. When the campaign opened it was an eighth of an inch shorter than the other one. Now it ex ceeds the other in length fifteen inches. If you have ten cents about your per son loan it to me that I may go drown my sorrow." Moral—The wise man will steer clear of politics unless he has a tolerably sure thing and is able togo away on a visit during the campaign. TERMS: $2.00—51.50 IN ADV ,K. L'OGAL _NOTieES.

MCKIELEY'S LATEST PORTRAIT.—A short time ago President McKinley sat for a photograph, which he has pro nounced the bestever secured. A copy of this portrait, in colors, with facsimile of the President's signature, on each picture, will be given free with every copv of the gj MI Philadelphia Sunday Press next Sunday (June 10). It is a souvenir everyone is certain to prize, both because of its merit as a work of art and its timeliness, in view of the fact that McKinley is certain to be re nominated at the National Convention week after next. The size of the pic ture is 14 by 20 inches, and every one will be perfect. The demand will be great; hence it will be well to order next Sunday's Press early.
