Olean May Lose Shops.
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.

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.

The Ciossiper,
Gossip has made many a home a hell
on earth; gossip has blackened and sul
lied the character of many poor girls;
gossip has parted lovers who would
have been very happy if it had not been
for gossip. One little misstep or one
little indiscretion will cause gossip to
arise with new strength and start on
her mission. Don't gossip. Agossiper
is about the lowest and meanest tiling;
