THE CAMERON COUNTY PRESS. ESTABLISHED BY C. B. GOULD, MARCH, 1866. VOL. 35. Campaign Subscribers. During the campaign the PUESS has heen weekly sent to a large number of citizens of this county, and we hope they have appreciated and enjoyed reading the same. This is-iue closes our contract to supply the same, and we trust we may have the pleasure of placing the names of many of the campaign readers our list. Send us 81.50 and enjoy reading the Pit ESS during the long winter evenings. We shall strive to make our paper more entertaining than ever. Send in your names at once and thereby not miss a number. A vote for the straight Rebubli can ticket is a vote to continue prosperity. Vote for a Republican State Leg islature which will elect a Repub lican to the I'nited States Senate. Republicans must not forget, in their enthusiasm for the national ticket, to look out for the candidate in Congress. Any conscientious Republican who contemplates voting for the democratic Assemblyman, to be consistent should vote for Bryan. The Democrats reproach the Republicans for obeying the orders of bosses and voting as the bosses direct, but they will search the record of our party in vain to find a case in which a Republican lead er ever dared to ask his party to send a Democrat to Congress. The boss assumptions of the Democratic Congressional Convention of this district in ordering that party to vote for Emery for Congress is bossism in the superlative degree. \ The Emery itcs have already beaten themselves. The dirty, low down campaign of villification car ried 011 by their speakers and news papers would lie resented in any respectable community. Emery and his fool friends are making votes for Sibley every time they open their mouths. Let the good work goon. Sibley is going up through tribulation, but he will get there with a majority which will add a smile to Lincoln's statue in the Capitol.—Bradford Era. Mr. Emery says that he fears he will be defeated by the wholesale bribery of the voters of the district. He does not tell the truth. What he fears is that he cannot be elected by bribery of the voters of the dis trict, no matter how great may be the harvest of boodle gathered by his 3,000 begging circulars. His statement is evidence that he real izes what every observant man in the district knows,that he is beaten now without hope of recovery. Everything points to Sibley's elec tion by at least 5,000 majority. If Emery should be elected, in what way would any wrong com plained of be righted ? When a man wants togo to any particular place ho ought to be sure that he is on the right, road. When his toes get tramped upon in a crowd he ought to be sure he hits the right fellow. When he is sick and wants medicine he should notget the bot tle in the dark, or the medicine may be worse than the sickness. The Republican who thinks he must vote against Sibley ought to ask what good he will accomplish by it. Revenge is not a patriotic sentiment, and the man who turns his ballot into an instrument of vengeance does not understand the proper use of it. No man in the '27 th district will ever have cause to reproach himself for having voted the straight Republican ticket. LINCOLN'S WARNING TO LEW. Sudden Death. Burton Easterbrooks, aged 32 years, died at the residence of his mother in Emporium, Tuesday morning. De ceased has been sick for some time with typhoid fever, contracting the' disease in the bark-woods of Elk coun ty. His death was a great surprise to ! his friends, who supposed he was im proving. "Bert", as he is known by our people, was a quiet, unasuming young man and industrious. He was a member in good standing of Empo rium Lodge, No. 984, I. O. O. F., and has always been an active and faithful ' member. The funeral will take place this (Thursday) afternoon at 2 p. m. at the Baptist Church, Rev. O. S. Metz ler officiating. The family of the deceased have been sorely afflicted in the loss of this excel lent son and brother, and they have the sympathy of our citizens. Obituary. ELIZA B. DODGE. Mrs. Eliza B. Dodge departed this life Saturday, Oct. 20tli, 1900. She was born in Orange county, Vermont, March 9th, 1820, making her age at the time of her death 80 years and seven months. She had been in poor health since early spring, being confined to her bed through all the warm weather, and many times seem ingly at the point of death. But after the cooler weather of fall, she rallied so that for several weeks she had been about the house, and for the few days immediately proceeding her death, had seemed to be as well as any time for years. About an hour before her death she called her son and asked for some medicine, saying she was finding it difficult to breathe at the same time remarking that her end was drawing near, and so it proved. Mrs. Dodge was the mother of Ave children, four of whom survive her. She also leaves three sisters and one brother. The funeral services were held Tues day, Oct. 23d, and interment was made in the Rich Valley cemetery. JAMES WELSH. James Welsh, aged 81 years, died at , the residence of his daughter, Mrs. Wesley Burfield, on Thursday, October 25th, 1900. The funeral took place from St. Mark's Church on Sunday at 2p. in. Deceased leaves two daught ers and five sons, all grown to woman hood and manhood—his wife having died many years ago. Mr. Welsh, as long as he had the strength, was active i and industrious—a marked .trait of his whole life. "Liberty and Union, One and Inseparable."— WEßSTEß. EMPORIUM, PA., THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 1 ? 1900. Thaddeus F. Moore. The Republican candidate for Mem ber of Assembly has made a clean canvass of the county for the election and has been cordially received by the people. His election is now conceded by the people, especially those having any experience in politics. If elected, which he certainly will be, he is fitted by business experience to represent the whole people. Republicans! you have a candidate equal, in every way, to his opponent and ho is entitled to your solid support. Vote for him. King Master Taggart. Hon. L. Taggart in answer to a half column reply to an attack made upon the editor of this journal consumed about two or three columns in last week's Indepentent to say, among other things wo charged, that our as sertion that he has not been a Repub lican in twenty years was true, accord ing to his own story. Mr. Taggart no doubt in his despair will be happy (?) when the honest voters register their verdict on the 6th of November, but it will not be Lincoln (?) Lew that will represent this Congressional district in Congress. Our space is too valuable at this time to devote a column or two to answer the silly stuff that he inflicted upon the readers of the Independent last week. If Mr. Taggart is happy we are glad of it. That First Fork Letter. Evidently the Independent don't like the intimation made by the First Fork correspondent of the PRESS that some one of the candidates shipped beer to the voters on the First Fork. The ar ticle in the PRESS did not use names. The editor of this journal personally "boiled down" the article and does not allow personalities to appear in the PRESS We have treated all the candi dates fairly and have just as much re gard, and possibly more than the editor of the Independent ever had, tor either Mr. Blumle or Mr. Moore. Supper and Reception. The annual supper and reception under the auspices of the ladies of St. Mark's Church, will be held in the opera house, Monday evening, Nov. 5. The supper which will embrace the substantial and delicacies of the season will be from 5 p. m. until all are served. Supper 25 cents. All are cordially in vited. Driftwood. "Above the Clouds," a beautiful and popular drama will appear at the Drift wood opera house Nov. 3d. The citi zens of that town will not be disap pointed by giving this drama a full house. Beware of Rhoorbacks. It is understood that a desparate gang of heelers who .ire opposed to Mr. Sib | ley, recognizing the overwhelming de i feat that is staring them in the face, are I engaged in the concoction of monstrous | stories to be sprung upon the innocent j voters at the very close of the contest, j thereby affording no time for denial to jbe made. Bear in mind this fact, how- I ever: Mr. Sibley in his long life has never committed any act which should require an apology from any friend; neither is he doing so now. These lies are concocted by the owners of the "smut-mills" and are for the purpose . of deception only. Beware of the work of the campaign liar! He willspringcock-and-bullstor ies during the last three or four days before the election. It is well under stood that a coterie of political tricks ters are engaged in the preparation of a parcel of villainous matters to dump upon an unsuspecting public too late for the falsehood of the chargos to be shown. This will be strictly in keeping with all the balance of the Emery cam paign Beware of the Emery campaign liar! He is abroad in the land. Notes and News. "Half the girls you meet are either | pretty or clever. The other half are ones who would make good wives." So says that N. Y. Press Bachelor. There may be lots of insincerity in world, but the knowledge of it should make us thankful for the friends into | whose eyes we can look and feel sure I of their loyalty.—Ex. W. F. Lloyd and family have rented | the J. F. Parson's dwelling in Middle ward, recently vacated by Prof. Stauf fer. They will take up their residence 1 there immediately after election. Sheriff Swope, Deputy Hemphill and ! F. S. Coppersmith last Thursday con i veyed two prisoners to Allegheny pen j itentiary —Fred Grodavant and Mich ; ael Scollar, both for robbery, each receiving two years. Mr. Sibley's platform is very simple. Once a Democrat, he realized his error and joined the party which made him wealthier than he was before. Person ally ho was made wealthier than he was before because the rest of the ; American people prospered with him, ! and—well, the other reasons will count ias reasons by-and-by. Meanwhile he j is willing to meet his opponent on the ! stump, and his opponent is not willing ito meet him. Under which flag would I men of courage prefer to serve? —Phil- | adelphia Inquirer. Political Pebbles. Hon. Charles W. Stone refuped to preside at the Emery meeting in War ren on Monday night because it was a Democratic gathering, and yet he is going to stump the district for Emery. Very consistent, to say the least.— Franklin News. Ex-Congressman Stone's flop to Em ery is a clear case of sour grapes. When a citizen changes his politics from conviction he has ouradmiration, but when he deserts the flag when it ceases to wave over his rewards, ho be comes an object of pity.—Pittsburg Com. Gazette. Ex-Congressman Charles W. Stone has taken the stump in Warren county in behalffof Mr. Emery. This we pre sume is Mr. Stone's way of repaying the Republican party for the twenty seven years that it permitted him to hold fat offices under its auspices. Stone is ungrateful, but there is somo satisfaction in the thought that it is political suicide he is committing. The Warren Mail says the only effect of Mr. Stone's treachery will be to cause Republicans to work all the harder for their candidate.—Titusville Herald. It is exceedingly painful to the many friends of Hon. C. W. Stone in this Congressional district, to see him take the stump in support of Lewis Emery, Jr., for Congress. The Republisans all over the district, with very few excep tions, who gave him their earnest sup port two years ago, are now supporting Mr. Sibley. No man knows better than Mr. Stone that Mr. Emery is not a fit man to send to Congress. He knows that Emery could not be depended up on to support Republican measures and his election would be heralded all over the United States as a Democratic gain. How can Mr. Stone, who has received so many honors from the Republican party for the past thirty years, take so fatal a step at this time?—Kane Repub lican. Hon. C. W. Stone's revolt shows how grateful he is to the Republican party for having kept him in office for about 27 years. Because he is not a candidate now, or because a brother of his was not nominated by the Republicans, he will join hands with the Democrats in an effort to bring defeat upon the party that has served his ambitious personal purposes. TT."\V. Stone sets himself up as an authority on the subject and de clares that Sibley's nomination was irregular. For a wise statesman, such as Stone was formerly reputed to be, he is making a queer spectacle of him self.—Bradford Era. C. W. Stone has already delivered himself of a set speech devoted in the main to a petty criticism of Mr. Sibley's course in the present Congress. It is filled full of suggestions of "sour grapes," and reveals the Warren man as a snarler, growler and kicker of the first order. Mr. Stone is generally re gardad as a man of culture, refinement and respectability, and such mean and contemptible fault-finding with Mr. Sibley's course was hardiy to have been expected from him. It shows too that the people of this district who wero inclined to consider him a first class statesman had totally mistaken his calibre.—Oil City Derrick. The plea of ex-Congressman Stone in his Corydon address in apologizing for his opposition to Mr. Sibley is like the London shoemaker's plan to make the foot fit the boot. Stone's plea is plain ly a manufactured one to fit the case. It lamentably fails, however, to fit the facts. What is the supremo test of a candidate's party standing? Samuel J. Tilden once said: "The regular certificate of a Democratic nominating convention makes a nominee a Demo crat, no matter what individual voters may think about it." Party men of all shades of opinion have accepted the Tilden declaration as political law. Mr. Sibley is just as much the Republi can party nominee to-day as C. W. Stone was two years ago. Nobody can well gainsay this, and yet in the face of thiß fact Mr. Stone, to atone for his party treason, has the hardihood to put his individual opinion above the ac cepted law of party politics and the certificate of a regular nominating convention. Mr. Stone's arraignment of Mr. Sibley's politics in the past is met by the fact that Mr. Sibley has op enly joined the Republican party and given his reasons therefor. Mr. Stone on the other hand, while pretending to be a Republican, is supporting a Dem ocratic combination, which, if success ful, would overthrow the Republican organization. Mr. Stone knows this perfectly woll, and in a short time the voters of the district will know it, and when known Mr. Stone's chances of cajoling Republicans into the Demo cratic camp will be very slim. —Pitts burg Com. Gazette. TERMS: $2.00—51.50 IN ADVANCE. WEATHER REPORT. (Forecast by T. B. Lloyd.) FRIDAY, Rain. SATURDAY, Cloudy and unsettled' weatlie and probably rain. SUNDAY, Fair. That Emery fleeting. TheJEmery meeting at the opera house last Tuesday evening was well attended and a cordial reception ten dered Hon. C. W. Stone and Capt. E. R. Mayo, who addressed those in at tendanceon "Quay"and "Sibley." W. H. Howard presided, as usual, but he cut his address short, having covered the entire political fleUl in his former effort. Hon. C. W. Stone, for whom we have the greatest respect, per sonally, lias made a great mistake and his friends in this county, who have always supported and voted for him in the past, regret to see him mate this awful blunder. As far as we are able to learn we do not believe the meeting changed the opinion of one voter. Drinking of Water. When it is considered that the body is made up largely of water it can read ily be understood how important to health is a constant supply of this fluid. Many people have a notion that the drinking of water in any amount be yond that actually necessary to quench thirst I*3 injurious, and acting on that belief they endeavor to drink as little as possible. The notion, however, is wide of the truth. Drinking freely of pure water is a most efficacious means not only of preserving health, but often of restoring health when failing. All the tissues of the body need water, and water in abundance is nec essary also for the proper performance of every vital function. Cleanliness of the tissues within the body is as neces sary to health and comfort as cleanli ness of the skin, and water tends to in sure the ono as truly as it does the other. It dissolves the waste material, which would otherwise collect in the body, and removes it in the various ex cretions. The waste materials are often actual poisons, and many a headache, many rheumatic paiiis and aches, many sleep less nights and listless days, and many attacks of the "blues" are duo solely to the circulation of the blood or de posit in the tissues of these waste ma terials which cannot be got rid of be cause of an insufficient supply of water. Water is accused of making fat, and people with a tendency to corpulence avoid it for that reason. But this is not strictly true. It does undoubtedly often increase the weight, but it does so because it improves the digestion and, therefore, more of the food eaten is utilized and turned into fatand flesh But excessive fat, what we call corpu lence, is not a sign of health, but of faulty digestion and assimmilation,aud systematic water-drinking is often em ployed as a means of reducing the su perfluous fat—which it sometimes does with astonishi - rapidity. It is imposK to recount in a few words all the benefits which may re sult from tht) taking of pure water in sufficient quantity.— Youths' Com panion. Mrs. Segner of this place was mar ried to a Mr. Evans, of Curwensville, this morning. The ceremony was per formed by Rev O. S. Metzler of M. E. church, at the residence of Mr. W. D. White, where a sumptuous wedding breakfast was served. The couple de parted on 10:25 train for the above named place where they will reside. A ote for your Republican Con gressman so its to sustain the Pres ident in his policies for good gov ernment. -V vote against Thaddeus F. Moore, the Republican candidate for Member of Assembly, is a vote to elect a free-silver, free-trade candidate to the United States Sen ate. Emery says that Sibley holds a Democratic commission as Con gressman and wants togo back as a Republican. How about the man who wants togo as a Republican and a Democrat both for the same term ? Emery's portrait is with McKinley on one banner and with Bryan on another. When C. \\". Stone votes against Sibley this year, he comuiits the same offense of which lie accused the Republicans who voted for Sib ley two years ago. It is 110 offense in him now, it was no offence in them then. The Republicans, from Mr. Stone down, who vote for Em ery this year forever seal their lips against the right to reproach any Republican who voted for Sibley in 1898. NO. .36.
