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.

"Half the girls you meet are either

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

I of their loyalty.—Ex.
W. F. Lloyd and family have rented

ward, recently vacated by Prof. Stauf

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.

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.

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.
