That Dividend Question.
Editor Press:
I read with interest, an article in the
last issue of the PRESS headed "In
crease Home Dividends," but the writer
neglected to tell us how to begin in
order to obtain. If "the age of mir
acles has gone by" then he does not
mean the acceptation or administering
of the Living Water, or repentence
unto salvation to be the balm of heal
ing for our wounds, for we understand
that it requires a miracle to make a
man "a new creature." "Good appe
tite, steady nerves, social pleasures, |
domestic joys, congeniality," &c., are
tributaries to betterment in ones life j
and being physically and morally, also .
a moral person may have these attri- !
butes and many others, yet his joys j
may not he full. But we believe the
author of that excellent article has j
something more conclusive to relate to j
us on the subject, tolling us how to ac- j
quire tins dividend "unmeasured in !
value." We are anxious to hear it. j

The Star Course.
The canvass for the sale of course j
tickets for the Peoples' Popular Star j
Course has begun. It is hoped to in- j
terest every family in the community j
in the enterprise. No better invest- j
ment could be made. For an outlay of (
§1 50 you have the pleasure of five first- |
class entertainments, such as are usu- J
ally only enjoyed by people living in ;
the cities. At least three hundred of
these tickets should be sold to insure i
the financial success of the undertaking
and to give the ladies a narrow margin
of profit for their work.
Subscribe promptly, subscribe for as ,
many tickets as you think you will
need, for unless adequate encourage
ment is given, the effort must end in
disappointment and failure. Examine
the testimonials the ladies carry with
them and you will bo convinced of the
excellence of all the attractions. This
is a rare opportunity. It must not be
forfeited. Lend a hand and help to
make it a conspicuous success.

DEAR LADIES:—
Yours received. Glad to know you |
are trying to keep up with the time . Von have
caught me a little short on charity just now. I
aim to give just about so much every year to ;
church and charity, 'i his year, however, I have
given the Episcopal Church at Callus, Maine, my j
boyhood home, $3,000 00 to repair their church, :
and that overdraws my charity account. Not- |
withstanding the fact that this account is over- ,
drawn, 1 will enclose you a check for $25.00; it j
will help a little. Hope you will get a good clock, |
one that will.strike ioud enough so that the boys 1
and girls will know when 0 o'clock comes, as that, j
J believe, is the regulation hour for retiring.
Hoping this will reach you safely, 1 am,
Yours very respectfully,
J. W. COCHRAN." !
The above letter was not intended 1
for publication, but the ladies of the ;

putting it in print as the contemplated !
clock is a public matter, and one in !
which all the citizens of Cameron i

Big Business.
During the month of July the W. N.

that road. Master mechanic Klock has

Lumber (iocs Down.
There is a general cut in prices on
hard wood lumber, says the Tonawanda
Herald. Quartered oak which is cut in
Indiana, Kentucky and Tennesee, has
dropped seven dollars on a thousand
feet. The only soft wood grade togo
down materially is yellow pine, which
is selling for from one to two dollars
less per thousand than it did a month
ago. The cuts originated at the mills
and they are considered the forerunners
of a general drop in prices in all grades
of lumber.
I'enfield Has a Future.
The beautiful village of Penfield, on
Rennet's Branch, certainly basa futnre
in prospect which will greatly please
the people over there. Three thousand
acres of coal land belonging mostly to
the farmers and lumbermen of that sec
tion have been sold which will bring
into that valley a vast sum of money,
besides insuring a hustling business fu
tnre in thedevelopmentof the coal field.
For two years Ex-Sheriff George R.
Woodward has had charge in working
up the sale, and to him isdue the c redit
of this good work. -Clearfield Public

A new fakir is abroad in the rural
regions says an exchange. He drives
through the country and sells soap at
§5 a box, which sum includes the price
of forty yards of carpet, selected from
samples which ho has in his wagon.
He takes the $5, leaves the box of soap
promises to deliver the carpet of the
selected sample within a week, arid
drives away. The soap is worth prob
ably 50 cents. It stays with the pur
chaser. The carpet is worth probably
£15.00, but it stays with the fakir and
has not yet been delivered to a single
victim. Farm families should be on
their guard against this new fakir and
against all other fakirs.
Arrested for Theft.
Last Sunday afternoon while Mr. and
Mrs. Chas. Clark, who reside in H. \V.
Graham's Sixth street dwelling, were
absent from home, a young lad named
Allie Murray was seen by a neighbor to
enter their residence. I*pon the return
of the family, they were notilied of the
. fact and made an examination, discov
ering that a watch chain and a pocket
book containing a small sum of money
; was missing. On Monday Mr. Clark
caused a warrant to be issued by Squire
| Larrabee and placed in the hands of
i Constable Yentzer who promptly ar
rested (he lad. He was given a hearing
before Justice Larrabee and in default
of 00 bail was committed tojail, where
he will remain until court, which will
ibe Oct. 22. Young Murray is only a
j boy and for two years has caused his
parents a great amount of trouble.
; The Huntingdon Reformatory will be
1 a good place for him and may be the
salvation of the lad.

Killed By a Base Ball.
The shocking intelligence reached
here Saturday night that Ward Snyder
had been killed by the force of a foul
ball, while catching a game that after
noon in Pittsburg. He was playing
with the Homewood Athletic Club,and
a foul tip swerved the ball from its
course, but did not affect its velocity,
and it struck the voung man over the
heart with full force. Ward was stag
gered by the blow, but caught the next
ball, when he suddenly dropped to the
ground and died in a few minutes.
Deceased was a son of Dr. J. W.
Snyder, now serving as Deputy I*. S.
Marshall for the Western District, and
Ella 112 (Mark) Snyder. He had spent
most ofhis boyhood here and was very
popular with a!' his acquaintances, be
ing a young man of sterling qualities
and quiet disposition He was mar
ried to a Randolph lady about one year
ago, and his remains were taken to
that place for interment. The sorrow
ing parents, wife and sister have the
sympathy of this whole community in
their bereavement, and the Journal re
cords the death with sincere sorrow
for the untimely demise of so worthy a
young man.—Yesterday's Coudersport
Journal.
Destructive Forest Fires.
A destructive forest fire started on
Fishing Creek on Tuesday afternoon,
caused by a spark from Hall & Kaul's
railroad engine. Fishing Creek is situ
ated about ten miles from Emporium
and is known by some people as Bobby
Rui. Before assistance could reach
the scene of the conflagration the fire
got into the lumbering operations of
Hall & Kaul, located in this county,
and consumed about $20,000 worth of
property, including 5,000 cords of bark.
A large force of men, numbering two
hundred, fought the fire all day and
night and have it under control. How
ard ft Company of Emporium,have had
every available man out fighting to
save their property, located on the
south and east of the operations
of Hall & Kaul. C. B. Howard & Com
pany lost logs valued a $2,000, covered
by insurance. Frank Craven, Frank
Lockwood and other jobbers are heavy
suffers, their camps being located in
heart of the new operations.
Wednesday afternoon extensive fires
were raging in the direction of Salt Run
and Cauley Run, in the pine and hem
forests operated by F. H. & C'. W.

"On the Beach of Nome."
July 10, 1900.
DEAR LLOYD AND ALL:—
Fenton is going to start for Nome at
12 o'clock to-night and is now taking
a snoose, and 1 am sitting on my BED
killing time so I can call him. I just
got through baking biscuits, and you
can toll Lottie they are simply immense.
1 have developed into a first-class
cook. We are livinghigh; have every
thing desirable to eat and plenty of it.
Many people come up this far and
get discouraged and sell out cheap.
Wo bought from one fellow for SIO.OO,
a layout that would have cost $.">0.00 in
Nome. We are one-half mile from
('ripple creek and about 15 miles from
Nome; have boon here three weeks
now, and 1 think we have shoveled
enough dirt to make a hole as large as
the Court House there We have to
go down 5 to 7 feet to get the pay dirt
and it's nothing extra at that. This
beach has been ripped up for 30 miles.
It was done last summer by the Daw
son men. There are some spots next
to the Tundra like which we are work
ing—too hard work to get at and were
left. We found four Dawson men
working here, and presume they took
a liking to us as they told us to try our
luck here before some one else took
the ground, as it was pretty good.
They have been very kind to us by
showing us all sorts of things which a
green horn would be simply out of it
did he not know. 1f we had the gold
bearing sand a foot or two from the
top we could make good money, but
the depth necessitates time, and I
might say a little hard work to get the
dirt. Last week we rocked out ! oz.
and the week before about the same.
An ounce is figured here at $16.00 but
at Seattle siß.oo. We are in hopes of
striking something rich ill the hole we
are now working. Any way we are
doing a whole lot better than 15,000
other fellows. Thousands qf people
travel up and down here every day
and the general report is that there
are 25,000 people in Nome who have
never made a move to see what they
could do. One of our Dawson friends
struck it rich Thursday—Friday and
Saturday he rocked out $125.00. By
digging a little off the top you can
hold it, otherwise any one can dig
right up to you and cut you off.
The stories about the richness of the
beach here were true enough, but the
"half had not been told"—of the great
throng of people who visited here last
and go; the cream of it. We will be
ihrough here in about three weeks,
then we move north. VVe are both as
healthy as bucks, but oh! how sore and
stiff.
The weather is simply fine, having
rained only three days, the rest of the
time, excepting the 4th and two other
days which were hot, it has been cool
and clear.
1 don't imagine, Lloyd, this has in
terested you much, but now I will tell
you something which may. If you
were here you would never have togo
to bed, and could play all the time as
it docs not get dark here at this time of
year. How would you like that tor
high? and you could catch millions of
fish every evening. When the tide
comes in about 7 o'clock it deposits on
the beach hundreds upon hundreds of
fine little smelt, about the size and like
brook trout minus the spots. You
would have to be lively to catch them,
as the next wave takes them out and
the next brings them back. It would
be high sport for you. Do you think
you woulk like to come up here? It's
not very far.
I thought of you all on the 4th, of
the good time you had last year, and
wondered what you were all doing in
the interior world. We were both a
little home-sick on the 4th. we worked
all day. I miss the papers very much.
I did hear that Rosevelt was McKin
ley's running-mate, and suppose Bryan
has been nominated.
It is time to call Amos and give him
j some coffee and hot biscuit for his
jaunt to Nome after the mail. Hope
i there is a letter for me.
There is any amount of driftwood
here, but wo carry our water from
Cripple creek.
(live my love to all. I presume the
League is still flourishing.
