AG-UINALDO
CAPTURED.
MANILLA, March 28 -General Funs
ton's daring project for the capture of
Aguinaldo in his hiding place in the
province of Isabela, Island of Luzon,
has proved completely successful.
Aguinaldo was captured there March
23d.
The United States gunboat Vicks
burg, Commander E. B. Barry, with
General Funston and Aguinaldo on
board, arrived here this morning.
Birth-Day Anniversaries.
A number of lady friends made a
"surprise" visit to Mrs. M. B. Judd,
last Tuesday afternoon, the occasion
being the anniversary of her birth. Of
course they were welcomed and enjoy
ed the occasion.
Riley Warner, mine host of Warner
House, hale and hearty, celebrated his
73d birth-day yesterday. He is a won
derfully well preserved man.
V
Geo Metzger, Sr., one of our oldest
citizens, mot us yesterday while return
ing from a spin on hiß bicycle. He in
formed us that he had been celebrating
his 70th birth-day and wanted to com
plete the century record.
Our society editor missed two pleas
ant incidents last week, but it is never
too late for the PRESS to right an omis
sion. Last week, Monday evening,
Mr. and Mrs. Julian met a large circle
of friends at the residence of Mr. and
Mrs. George Metzger, Sr., and properly
celebrated Mr. Julian's 54th anniver
sary. Of course they and their friends
enjoyed a good spread. The good wife j
had prepared for the center of the ;
table a large cake, in the center of
which was placed a mirror and 54 wax
candles circled around the cake. The
occasion is pleasantly referred to by
those who attended.
«*•
William H. Howard and Mrs. C. F.
Mankey's birth-day anniversary hap
pening to come on the same day, it has
been the custom of the two families to
join issues is celebrating the event.
This year it was Mr. and Mrs. Howard's
turn to entertain Mr. and Mrs. Mankey !
and their friends, which, of course, was
done in elegant style. The event took I
place at Mr. and Mrs. Howard's large
and palatial residence on Sixth street.
It would not be considered etiquette to j
give the pleasant lady's age, yet we
are informed Mr. Howard is near the
44th line.
North Creek to Boom.
The citizens of North Creek are elat
ed over the prospects in store for them.
Mr. W. D. Johnson, a practical lumber-
I man, has purchased the Hathaway I
lands, located near Six Mile Run, and
j has already contracted with W. H. j
Cramer for the construction of a large I
shingle mill and camp, to be operated
day and night. Mr. W. F. Kiley, the
manager, informs us they will also i
erect a saw mill and another shingle ,
mill at once. The firm are large man- ;
ufacturers of shingles, last year alor.e
their sales amounted to fifty millions
of shingles. They will give employ
ment to 75 to 100 men and many teams.
Mow Long, Oh! Lord ?
Fourth street could be made one of]
the most beautiful streets in the State, j
but it is, and has been for years, a mud
hole. With an abundance of slag from
the furnace there is no sense in main
taining a nuisance. Some of the finest
driveways in Pennsylvania are con
structed from furnace slag, the objec
tions of some to the contrary, notwith
standing. Try it, Mr. Councilmen.

A Queer Experience.
Josiah Fink, father of J. H. Fink, of
this place, had a very queer accident
happen him Monday afternoon. He
was driving across the P. & N. W.
tracks with some freight when, in some
unexplainable manner, he fell off the
seat, striking his head and side on one
of the rails which rendered him uncon
scious for fully fifteen minutes. When
he recovered he was unable to explain
the matter at all. He doesn't under
stand how he fell, or after he had appar
ently gained consciousness did not
remember driving to the depot and un
loading his wagon. Mr. Fink is 71
years old and is as hale and hearty as
most men at fifty. He is very much
mystified as to how it all happened.—
Punxsutawney Spirit. The gentleman
referred to above is Josiah Fink, an
old-time resident of Sinnamahoning,
and in his day the wheel horse of Cam
eron county democracy. We know
many of our readers will be pleased to
hear from the gentleman, yet all will
be sorry to hear of his accident.
Please Take Notice.
On and after the first day of April
anyone having in their possession, or
using my bottles for any purpose oth
er than for what they are intended, or
any persons offering for sale or buying
said bottles, will be prosecuted and
punished to the full extent of the law.
Please observe this notice.

Sad News.
Ex-Sheriff Frank Mundy on Monday
received a telegram informing him of
the sudden death of his sister, Mrs.
Annie English, of Anita, Jefferson
county, Pa., in her 30th year. The
news was a sad blow to Mr. Mundy
and wife, who did not even know that
the lady was ill. Mr. and Mrs. English
visited here last Summer and met
many of our citizens. Mr. Mundy left
Tuesday morning to attend the funeral.
The Country of Sheridan's Ride.
The unique project of photographing
the entire route of Sheridan's ride,
from Winchester, Virginia, to Cedar
Creek, as it is to-day, has been carried
out by The Ladies' Home Journal, and
the result will be shown in a picture
story of fourteen photographs. Sheri
dan and his aids on horse-back, from
historical pictures, have been intro
duced into each picture, so that the
ride of 1864 is shown as if it were taken
to-day through that country, which, in
reality, has changed but little.
A. W. Mason Does Some Rapid Work
in the Sinnamahoning.
A. W. Mason, the Sterling Run job
ber for Brown, Clark & Howe, of Will
iamsport, reached Driftwood with his
Sinnamahoning drive of 2,000,000 feet
of logs on Thursday evening. In the
accomplishment of this undertaking
Mr. Moson did something remarkable
in fast work, and every one of the logs
are expected to reach the boom on the
present rise. Mr. Mason is one of the
up-to-date drivers, and is remarkably
successful in all his work.—Renovo
News.
Elk County Medical Society.
The bi-monthly meeting of the Elk
County medical Society was held at
Ridgway, Thursday, March 14th. In
speaking of the papers read before the
Society, the Elk Democrat says: "A
paper was read by Dr. Bardwell upon
a subject of interest to the profession.
It was an excellent production, and
was well received." You can rest as
sured the subject was handled properly
—Dr B. never writes unless he has
something to say, and that right to the
point in plain English.
Returned from Philippines.
Willis J. McClenahan, Corporal of
Company C, 36th Reg., U. S. Vol., re
turned to Emporium last Friday,
after serving in the Philippines since
March 1899. McClenahan evidently
was a good soldier for he returns home
bearing the stripes of Corporal. His
friends here are pleased to know that
he fared well under Sam. In
conversation with the PRESS, last eve
ning, he spoke well of the Philippines
and may re-enlist again, after visiting
his old friends and parents for a time.
He is busy now receiving congratula
tions of friends.
Maro, the Haglcian.
There is nothing more delightful to
the little ones, or the older ones either,
than an entertainment in magic. They
have all read about Aladdin and his
wonderful lamp. They have all read
the facinating books of Hans Andersen
and the marvelous "Grimm's Fairy
Tales," and know the different wizards
in theso stories so well that if they met
them on the street they wouldn't be
the least afraid. But it is one thing to
read about these wizards of "ye olden
times" and quite another thing to see
one in this enlightened day of the
world. To be sure there are only a
few, a very few real meritorious and
recognized conjurors in our country
to-day, and"the youngest of the great
and the greatest of the young" of these
wonder-workers is Maro. His easy,
graceful manner and pleasant conver
sational way of presenting things to
his audience at once wins their confi
dence and esteem. For by his peculiar
method of working he gives out the
impression that he is not trying to de
ceive his audience, and to this fact
alone may be contributed a great pro
portion of Maro's success, for his au
ditors at once become on friendly terms
with him, and enter into the various
illusions almost as ardently as the ma
gician himself. Maro is always look
ing about him for something new, and
is constantly presenting a program of
late novelties. He may be termed a
"popular conjuror,'' for he is just wise
enough for the sedate; humorous en
ough for the jovial; refined enough for
the fashionable, and just mysterious
enough to please the old and young
j alike.
