Consult his j ad. in another column. The Emporium Furniture Company | believes in keeping the people posted j on their movements and accordingly j had their old ad. torn down and a new i one putin its place. The Y. P. S. C.

Taggart has placed a cooling fan | in his drug store, a great comfort these i hot days. Yon can be sure to find a good cool place to drink soda water 1 and talk politics by calling on Mr. Taggart. Every Republican paper in the dis- | trict that suppported Hon. C. W. Stone j for Congress are earnestly supporting Hon. J. C. Sibley. A great majority of the men who oppose Mr. Sibley were just as eagerly in opposition to Gov. Stone. Consistent. Our farmers who are paying $1.75 a day and board for harvest hands will i be pleased to hear that farmers in the I central part of the county are putting up $2.00 a day for their help and are mighty glad to secure it at that price. —Conneautville Courier. The Band of which Mrs. L. K. Hunt- j ington is Captain will hold an Ice I Cream sale on the lawn of Mr. Geo. | Metzger, Sr's., homo East Allegheny ' avenue on Friday evening, Aug. the 10th, for the benefit of the First M. E.

The safe of the Coudersport Store Co., at West Coudersport, was blown open last night and $164 taken.

The above store is owned by our townsman William Lawler. Our citizens have every reason to be j proud of the City Bakery, so success fully conducted by C. G. Schmidt. | This establishment enjoying as it does ! a large trade not only at home but in ! adjoining towns, is very gratifying to j Mr. S's many friends. They have a j large ice cream trade in addition to the ■ bakery department. If Mr. Sibley, by becoming a Repub lican, is no longer entitled to Demo cratic votes, what claim has Mr. Emery, who has accepted the Democratic nom ination against him and announces i that he is opposed to expansion and | protection, to the support of Republi- I cans? It is a poor rule that will not I work both ways.—Titusville Herald. The shop picnicers came home Sat urday night, somewhat disgusted with "Laurel Run Grove" grounds, near St. Marys. The general opinion is that a j more undesirable place could not have been selected for such an outing.—Re novo Record. We thought so, neigh bor. Emporium is the ideal spot, where we have beautiful grounds and near home. The Potter Journal, one of the most reliable Republican journals in the State, has entered upon its 52d volume. No county journal in the State enjoys a better reputation than this excellent paper, and we congratulate our neigh bor, as well as the citizens of Potter. It is, indeed, a welcome visitor to our | desk, as no doubt it ia to thousands of I Potter county homes. The Adjutant General has issued his I annual report containing a statement of the organized militia force of the Unit j ed States, together with the number of j men available for military duty, but ; unorganized. The grand total of or j ganized militiamen in the several States j and Territories at the last report was ] 106,339. Those unorganized but avail- I able for military duty aggredated 10,- | 343,152. Hon. L. Emery, Jr., did more in 1890 | than any other half dozen men in Penn ( sylvania to elect Hon. Robert E. Patti | son governor of this State.—Smethport | Democrat. Yes, the people of this ! 27tli district are well aware of that fact ) and will pay the honest Lew back in | his own coin Nov. 6th. They have not I forgotten that incident and many oth -1 ers We believe some McKean gentle ! men have a rod in soak for him. There are very few establishments ; that get "all there is in the business," without a special effort. For most of | them there is still something to bo I gained by communications addressed to the people. Usually the business ' notices is intended to reach a particu lar number of readers, and the adver tiser who keeps that fact in mind in shaping his newspaper announcement j is more likely to achieve his purpose ; than the one who aims merely at "gen eral results."—Philadelphia Record. i Letter From Alaska. ST. MICHAELS, Alaska. DEAR MOTHER AND FATHER: — I am well and hope you are the same. This is the far north sure enough. I am 011 the U. S. A. transport steamer which 112 described to you in my last letter. We arrived here on July 4th, but on account of the prevailing epi demic ac St. Michaels no one is permit ted togo ashore. Among the many things of exciting nature occuring on our voyage was the sudden and unex pected death of our Captaia who died in bed, and his wife who is on board making the trip with him did not know of his death until she called him to get up for breakfast. We left Seattle on June 16th and were six days out of sight of land, but the seventh day we reached Chic-Nic Bay, Alaska. There is an Indian vil lage at that point where is located a plant for canning Alaska salmon We went into Chic-Nie to examine some coal mines with the prospect of estab lishing a Navel coaling station there, and were four days investigating. The weather here in the summer is elegant, and one evening another young man and myself went out in a row boat, rowing over to the Indian village, where I bought two deer skins for 75 cents, which I will bring home with me. The reports about the small pox and typhoid fever epidemic at Cape Nome are not exaggerated in the least, as those maladies are raging there. We are lying out in the sea seven miles from St. Michaels, but can seethe pest island and hospital ship; also four passenger steamers tied up with their human freight, quarantined of course. With the aid of glasses we can see the tents on the island. The gold prospectors are in a dis couraging condition, only about one out of a hundred is mining any gold. Laborers are scarce here and §5 a day is the wage scale. All tried to get to Nome which is 114 miles from here. We are unloading cargo which will keep us here about three weeks after which we goto Nome. We do not car ry passengers. At Nome the freight vill be transferred several miles out which renders us safe from the prevail ing diseases. We will be at Nome three weeks, returning to Seattle about the first of September. Be sure to have a letter there for me. We have to take good care of ourselves on board, there fore there is no occasion for alarm as to my health, and no money would in duce mo to get off at this camp. It is not as represented by big odds. From your son, WILLIAM MUNDY. < A Few Observations. To one who is fond of studying human nature, there is no business that offers so rich a field as that of the country newspaper, in every type of human nature that has thus far been discovered. The subscription book can properly be called the index of the town's people—a reflector, so to speak. It has them all there —the good, the bad and the indifferent. You may think you are onto them all, but you are not, if at some time in the village's history you have not studied the sub scription book of the newspaper office. Upon this book is the man who insists on paying for the paper in advance. He knows the exact day it expires, and on that date he makes his annual visit to the office. But they are not all this kind; here comes part of tho shadows of the busi ness. Here is a class of fellows who, when presented with a bill of account swell up like a copperhead and get very mad, for you have wounded their dignity. They pay up and stojj the paper at once. Another kind is a fellow who, every time he meets you, dans himself. He is coming to the office right away and pay it, and apologizes for not having done so long ago. Again and again we see him and again and again, as 1 earnest and suave as Colonel Sellers ever dared to be, he tells you he is coming to the office right away—per ! haps that day. » We pass on.and here comes the fel ! low who never sees us. He suddenly i becomes attracted to something across | the street, and if he doesn't cut across | between the crossings, his eyes are | riveted in another direction until you | pass by. Then he moves on. #*« But the meanest of them all is the man who claims he doesn't get the paper half the time, when it is sent to ' his address every week. Ono man who owes four years' subscription, and gets the paper every week, when asked I to pay, not long since, got very mad, i cut up a good deal, and then claimed he hadn't received a single copy during I that time. And there are other kinds, too, that ! cast their shadows amidst the little ! bursts of sunshine that occasionally ' creep into the office. —Hughesville Mail. If you want a Tenant.
