LLOYD. K Old Soldiers Object. The Philadelphia Press says : "As might be expected, some of the old 1 soldiers in this state who have been unfortunate in their habits are kicking against a recent ruling of the pension \ department at Washington, by which , certain pensioners are dropped from 1 the rolls when their pension money is 1 I found to do them more harm than 1 ! good. In other words those who spend 1 their allowances unduly for rum and neglect and ill-treat their families are ! to be denied their pensions while they misapply the money. The Star Course. More than two hundred tickets have | been sold for tho "People's Popular Star Course" and tho canvass is to be ! actively continued until the required i number is disposed of. Tho responses j have been generous. The desire for a j course of tho excellence of this one is ' ; found to be very great. With some j such wholesome diversion as is thus af- j forded the long months of winter will | be far less dreary Let every family be | 1 represented. The ladies are anxious to , include you if you have not already j j placed your name on the list of sub- j j scribers. Fall in line. Remember, five first-class attractions ! for one dollar and a half—to be given , i in the Court House at intervals of about j ; one month during the autumn and winter. Death of Reuben W. Collins. Mr. B. J. Collins, of Driftwood, was | in town last Friday making arrange- i ments with undertaker Geo. J. Laßar to take charge of the funeral of his j father who died at Driftwood, Friday morning last, in his 72nd year. Mr. Collins has been an invalid for many i years, being stricken with paralysis in the year 1889. He lias been a great j sufferer ever since. The funeral took | place on Sunday from the family resi dence at Driftwood, Rev. M. C. Piper, , pastor of M. E Church officiating. In : terment took place at Huntley where j !he formerly resided. Deceased leaves ! a wife and four children—Mr. B J. and j 1 Miss Mattie of Driftwood, Edgar of I Cleveland and A. C. of Conneaut, O. 1 Having resided in this county for fifty years the deceased always enjoyed the I confidence and respect of our citizens. The PRESS, as well as our citizens gen : crally, deeply sympathize with the be ! reaved family. The bereaved widow ; is sister to Mr. Jas. K Jordan and Mrs. | F. N. Shaffer, of this place. For the Farmers to Decide. By the best figures obtainable it ap ' pears that the farmers of the country ! paid over $800,000,000 of tho shrinkage | in the value of their live stock alone as j a part of the price of the election to the ■ presidency of Grover Cleveland 011 a . j Free-Trade platform in 1892 Most of this 1033 they have made good since | Free-Trade received the knockout blow 1 1 in 189(3 and protection returned to its ; own again. If the farmers have more I money and more prosperity now than i 1 they want and would like to get rid of some of it, the surest way in the world is to vove for Bryan and Free-Trade j this fall. It wouldn't take long under ' j Bryanrand Free-Trade for live stock to j become of as little value as it was in the days of Cleveland. But if, 011 the other | hand, the farmers of the country want i to keep what they have and to add to it, j they need to stand by the policy which i gives the American market to the | American people, and which, by bring | ing work and money and prosperity to i the industrial workers of the country, creates a strong home demand for the I products of the farm.—American Econ , omist. New Postoffice. | Arksill, a new postoffice, has been es tablished in this county, on the First ; Fork, six miles from Sinnamahoning. j James H. Haynes is postmaster. The 1 office is located on the line of the new I railroad and will be a great convenience i to the people. 1 Zinc and grinding double the wear. "Liberty and Union, One and Inseparable." — WEBSTER. EMPORIUM, PA., THURSDAY, AUGUST 23.1900. "Black Forest" Almost Gone. In the following letter to the Gazette and Bulletin, dated Gleasonton, August 15, B. S. Dunn, the log scaler, contrasts the "Black Forest" country of now and forty years ago: "I came here forty years ago this winter to scale logs for Ensworth Up degraff and others. I went over the old Jersey pike to the place called Ole ona, for then the Pennsylvania only ran to Lock Haven. At that time the wood was so thick that in the day it was as dark as night, hence it was called the "Black Forest." The pine trees covered the ground almost without number, but now you can't see one, and even the hemlock is gettingscarce. If lumbermen had then known the advantages of modern facil ities much more money could have been made on the pine wood. I am now in the employ of Howard & Perley. They haul their logs 21 miles on cars, making two trips and carrying 150,000 feet a day. This lumber is taken to the mills, cut and delivered to Phila delphia in four days, which is a very storttime. It can be furnished in any size you wish." Test for Drinking Water. There is a simple test for the presence of sewerage in the water. All drinking water should be tested in town or coun try frequently, as there are other im purities besides sewerage which are quite as deadly, and every cistern of water is liable to be a source of blood poisoning, says Farm, Field and Fire side. Mice, rats and other pests must have water, and many a case of typhoid fever is set up by these falling into the cistern and remaining there for months in a decomposed state. To detect this impure condition is very simple and unfailing. Draw a tumbler of water from the tap at night, put a piece of white sugar into it, and place it on the kitchen mantle shelf or anywhere that the temperature will not be under sixty degrees Fahrenheit. In the morning the water, if pure, will be perfectly clear; if not contaminated by sewerage or other impurities, the water will be milky. This is a simple and safe test well known in chemistry. Keep Your Eyes "Skinned." Probably few people who live in rent ed houses, says the Harrisburg Tele graph, know that their chattleo can be seized and sold for taxes due upon the property they occupy. The tenant has an opportunity, however, to square himself with his delinquent landlord. Under an act of Assembly the tenant can deduct the taxes paid by him from the rent due, and the production of his tax receipt is a valid discharge of the rent to that amount. In this manner the tenant can protect his personal i property from levy and sale to pay taxes which his landlord has failed to settle. Serious Wreck. Last Thursday night, about eleven j o'clock, the Emporium & Rich Valley log train met with an accident 011 j Cook's Run. "Old Dan" and three cars took a plunge into the ditch and i made a complete wreck of the engine. Fortunately none of the men were se -1 riously injured. A view of the wreck may be seen in the show window at W. G. Bair's photograph studio. (lood Game. The ball game on Wednesday after noon between the Clarion and Empo rium nines resulted in a victory for the visiting nine, by a score of seven to ten. The Clarion beys are gentlemen and have many acquaintances here. Many j of them remained over night and vis ised with old chums. Obituary.

The death of Chief Justice Henry Green of the Supreme Court, at Atlantic City last Thursday, cre ates a vacancy in the Supreme Court to lie filled by the Governor. The Cameron County Bar Associa tion met at Emporium yesterday, all resident members being present, and unanimously adopted the fol lowing resolution: WHEREAS: There exists a vacancy on the Supreme Court Bench, by reason of the death of that able jurist Hon. Henry Geen, and B. W. Green, Esq., a member of this bar for upwards of twenty-eight years being of eminent legal learning and qualifications to discharge the duties of said office, Therefore be it Resolved: That the Bar Association of Cameron County endorse B. W. Green, Esq., for the appointment of Justice of the Supreme Court of Penn sylvania to fill the vacancy caused by the decease of Chief Justice Henry Green, and Resolved: That a copy of this reso lution be forwarded to Hon. William A. Stone, Governor of Pennsylvania, with the request that he appoint the said B. W. Green as Justice of the Su preme Court to fill the said unexpired term. J. C. JOHNSON, President. F. D. LEET, Secretary. Mr. Green is too well known in the State to require any flattering remarks from us. His hearty en dorsement at home and kind wishes wherever known, places his name prominently in the list of candi dates for the position. This sec tion of Pennsylvania is entitled to one member of the court and should Gov. Stone accord the appointment to Mr. Green he will add to the high position a gentleman of ripe experience, in the prime of life and one of the brightest legal minds in the State. Sibley Denies Conspiracy. BRADFORD, August 21.—Joseph C. Sioley, of Franklir., Republican can didate for Congress from this dis trict against Lewis Emery, Jr., Democrat, was in Bradford to-day. He came from Lake Champlain and left this afternoon for his home in Franklin. Mr. Sibley came in on an early morn ing train, accompanied by his private secretary, Mr. Gray, and was met at the depot by former State Senator Ban non and Postmaster North. The Franklin man attended the Re publican convention and made a speech of half an hour's duration. Mr. Sibley was asked about the Stur tevant interview and he denied the published story that he conspired with , Quay to be Governor in two years and ! Senator in four. He denied that he : had ever been in communication with Mr. Quay during his canvass two years ! ago. The reason he became a Repub lican and endorsed McKinley was be j cause of the prosperity of the country. Ex-Senator Emery, his opponent, ; called upon Mr. Sibley this morning. ,It was the first time these gentlemen ever met. Mr. Sibley expressed his j appreciation of this courtesy and said j Mr. Emery informed him that the re j ports that lie intended to use an enor mous sum of money in the campaign : were false. He in turn assured Mr. j Emery that he did not intend to make | a boodle campaign, and he declared to j the committee that any one who ac cepted or offered money to influence people to vote for him was no friend of : his.

Letter From Stephen Wylle. MR. J. D. LOGAN, Emporium, Pa. Dear Sir: —Your welcome letter was j received with pleasure. * * * My | health was never better than since I J saw you last. Never missed a meal, ! except once when out in the timber and j missed four meals. Chapman and fam- \ ily all well. Times are good here and j men are scarce. Many have gone to | Nome and are anxious to get back, j There are many men here waiting to j buy timber. They have purchased j from Northern Pacific R. R., for §6,- j 000,000, 90,000 acres. On this river j Nasal, the timber is estimated at fifteen j hundred million feet of pine and spruce, ! some cedar. Lots of hemlock, but is i worth nothing now. Can buy from j pre empted holders for 50 cents to §I.OO j per thousand. No government land in j this county worth taking. The crops j are good. Some of the farmers who j pasture their meadows until May are | now cutting two and three tons to the j acre. No wheat is raised here worth 1 mentioning. Potatoes poor this i fall—tops dead from blight. We have j a pest here something like the cut worm, j It is playing hob with the cabbage, tur- | nips and all vegetables. It can climb | a tree like a catterpillar, but it has no j hair on it. Fruit is scarce. Dressed i beef is worth seven cents, pork six, flour §3.00 to $4.00 per bbl., potatoes $16.00 per ton, hay $6.00 to SIO.OO. Wages in logging camps §26 to §65 a month. The logging is mostlv done j with dinkey engines. Fishermen on j the Columbia river are doing well this ! summer. They get from six to eight | cents per pound and catch from 100 j pounds to a ton each night. I am j ranching here a little. Have forty head | of cattle, two horses and one mule. \ Cut this summer forty tons of hay. I j will have an Elk hunt this fall. Wish ! you were here togo along. We have } had but little rain this summer. Give my regards to all friends. STEPHEN WYLIE. Nasel, Wyoming, Aug. 6, 1900. Regular Coon Evening. Last Tuesday evening Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Howard entertained a large number of their friends at their spa cious residence on Sixth street, in honor of their visiting guests from Philadelphia. The evening's program was out of the usual order, the dancing being of the cake order style and elic ited great applause. The costumes j worn by most of the guests were of the style usually seen at a first-class cake walk. Two prizes were awarded by the judges, but the extreme modesty of the fair ones forbids our mentioning their names. It certainly was a novel entertain ment and greatly enjoyed. About mid-night refreshments consisting of chicken, sweet potatoes, corn cake, watermelon, etc.—a regular cake-walk bill of fare —was served in elegant style. Mr. and Mrs. Howard certainly made a pleasing hit. Pleasant Social Event. Miss Nellie Hogan, second daughter of Ex-Postmaster M. T. Hogan, one of Emporium's popular and pleasing young ladies, entertained about seven ty-five young friends, at the opera house last evening, many coming from neighboring towns. The pleasant so cial entertainment was in honor of Mrs. Rogers and Miss Ceicle Rogers, of Binghamton, N. Y., aunt and cousin of the hostess, two ladies who have been visiting at the residence of Mr. Hogan some weeks and meeting many of our society people. Dancing was the chief amusement until a late hour, when all departed for their homes, voting the occasion among the many pleasant receptions of the season. Light re freshments were served. Wedding and Reception. The marriage and reception of Mr. j and Mrs. Edwin O. Field, last evening, | at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. A. j Thiebault, West Allegheny avenue, was very largely attended and we are informed was a very elaborate affair, j The happy couple were the recipients j of many valuable, useful and orna mental presents. The contracting parties have a wide circle of friends who gave them many cheering words of good hope for the future. The Blind Dog. The East ward blind dog may be j seen every evening walking in the bi- ' cycle path as far as the Warner House. After getting something to eat and circulating around the water trough several times before he can get a drink, i the poor blind animal feels and smells ■ around until he finds the bicycle path, j when he gently makes his way back to j his home near the St. Charles Hotel, j Watch him any evening, after dark.

The other day he was out fishing with some of the boys and managed to upset his boat in deep water. He could not swim, but he held to the boat and shouted to hi 3 companions on the bank for assistance. Seeing that ho was in no particular danger, the boys told him. they wouldn't help him until he gave three cheers for McKinley. "Hurrah for McKinley," said Jim in a weak and perishing voice. "Loader!" declared the crowd. And -then Jim bellowed, "Hurrah for McKinley!" untilhocould have been heard a mile away, where upon one of the boys tossed him a rope with the remark that "This isn't the first time that McKinley has helped a d—n fool out of a hole."—Kansas City (Mo.)
