EMPORIUM, PA., THURSDAY, MAY 23,1901. I Was Badly Poisoned. John Anderson, one of Austin's best I known citizens, was out fishing Mon | day in the vicinity of Hulls, and was j seriously bitten by some kind of insect ! that thoroughly poisoned his face J and head. He returned home in , the evening and his face began to j swell badly and he was in much pain. I being employed in the railroad shops I in this place and on duty nights, he I was obliged to leave his work at mid night and goto his home. He made | external applications but to no avail, | and early in the morning consulted a physician, who prescribed for him and he is now doing well. At one time on Tuesday his eyes were swollen entirely | shut and it was several hours before he was able to see at all. Mr. Anderson Bays he was either poisoned by the bite of some strange insect or else came in contact with some poisonous bush or vine. At this time he is doing well and will, we trust, entirely recover from the painful and unpleasant ef fects.—Austin Republican. Summer School Opens. The Cameron county Teachers' Sum mer school opened Monday, May 20th, with a fair attendance. A most excel lent course of study is in operation which should be very attractive to the teachers. The following subjects are taught by experienced educators: Advanced Arithmetic, Geography, j History, Grammar, Spelling, Reading, Literature, Civil Government, Latin, (3 grades), Algebra (2 grades), geome-1 try, Psychology, Pedagogy and mathe matics. Mr. Renn, of Bucknell Uni versity, is in charge of the work in Botany, Latin and English and is thoroughly qualified for his work. C. P. Bastian, Supervisory principal of Emporium schools is instructor in Psy | chology, German and Civics. With the course of study and the j able corps of instructors this school is ! prepared to do the very best kind of j work for its students. Living Without a Stomach. Paul O. Kruger, of Chicago, who is | minus a stomach, will be allowed to | leave his bed at the Illinois College ;! hospital next Monday, according to Dr. ; | B. B. Eads, who performed the opera | i tion. "Kruger is doing splendidly," i the surgeon said. "He was a gardener |; and florist. As this vocation does not 1 require either great mental or physical j i effort, I see nothing in the way of his I succes and prosperity in his old busi ness. During the two years the car.cer • preyed upon his vitals ho was reduced ' | from 189 to 1156 pounds. He will regain weight; how much is problematical. I do not think he will ever be able to do heavy manual labor, because his di gestion is limited. He must be very careful about his diet " . Who Can Beat This ? The horrible news comes from Ar- I kansas that a boy climbed a corn stalk I to see how the corn was getting along, I and now the corn is growing faster than the boy can climb down. The boy is plum out of sight. Four men have undertaken to cut down the stalk and save the boy from starvation, but it grows so fast that they can't hack twice in the same place. The poor boy is living on nothing but raw corn and has already thrown down over | four bushels of cobs. Hand Injured. | Last, Sunday afternoon P. & E. : freight conductor M. F. Cummings, of Renovo, while throwing a switch in , the yard at this place had the misfor -1 fortute to got his right hand caught, badly smashing one finger.

Just as we went to press, last week, we announced the death of PHILIP ELUIU LEWIB, aged 67 years, three months and 24 days, after an illness of several weeks, apoplexy having laid its fatal hands upon him. It was thought he was improving for Beveral days, but on Wednesday he was taken worse and expired early Thursday morning. Mr. Lewis was a native of this county and had resided here all his life. He was a kind and indulgent husband and parent and a gentleman of more than ordinary intelligence. He leaves a wife and two daughters, Mrs. Frank Shives and Mrs. Alex. McDougall, to mourn his death. In public life Mr. Lewis filled many important and responsible positions, the most responsible being Sheriff one term and deputy for several years. The funeral was held last Sanday, at 2 p. m., from the family residence near the Junction and was very largely at tended. The Maccabees, of which the deceased was tor years a member, at tended the funeral in a body, and con ducted the burial in accordance to their ritual. Rev. McCaslin conducted the regligious service at the honse and grave. STODDARD. Last Suuday morning our commun ity was shocked to learn that Mr. Samuel L. Stoddard, one of our most esteemed citizens, who has been em ployed on the Buffalo division ever since the road was constructed, had been probably fatally injured. Our citizens hoped against hope thiit the first reports might be exaggerated, but the reports were soon verified. Mr. Stoddard, who for more than twenty years has been one of the most trusted engineers on that road, took time freight (the fruit train) from the junc tion at this place. The train was run ning at a rapid rate of speed, being helped up the hill by another engine, manned by engineer Sprung. When the train was opposite the Delos Bur lingame farm Mr. Staddard leaned from the cab window to watch some part of the machinery, when his head came in contact with the iron bridge, fracturing his skull and rendering him unconscious. The engine being larger and wider than the one he was used to no doubt was forgotten at that moment and was the cause of the accident. The train was running about fifty miles an hour and it can be imagined with what force he was struck The train was stopped as soon as possible and the injured engineer who was supposed to be dead from the frightful blow was lifted from his engine and brought to his home at this place. Drs. Smith, Heilman and Bardwell were quickly summoned and all that medi cal skill could do was resorted to to save his life, but he never regained consciousness, and died Tuesday eve ning about five o'clock, surrounded by his grief stricken family and many friends. His death has cast a deep gloom over our town for the deceased, who has resided here for more than thirty years, was universally respected. He was 63 years of age, and a quiet, dignified and always a perfect gentle man. "Sam Stoddard" was held in the highest regard in the hearts of our citizens, his co-laborers and the railroad company for whom he labored so many years, and the vacancy will be hard to fill. We have been intimately acquainted with the deceased ever since he came to Emporium, and it must be gratifying to his family and friends to realize the fact that they can look upon his up right, honest, conscientious life with pride and satisfaction. Mr. Stoddard leaves a wife and two daughters—Mrs. Estella Coppersmith and Mrs. May Odell, who have enjoyed the love and protection of a kind and affectionate husband and father. Deceased was a member of Empori um Lodge, No. 984, I. O. O. F., the Maccabees and Brotherhood of Loco motive Engineers, carrying insurance in the two latter in addition to an ac cidental policy. THE FUNERAL. As we goto press the final prepara tions are made for the funeral, which takes place from the beautiful home on East Allegheny avenue, where the deceased delighted (and always did when at this end of his run) to pass his time with his family and grand-child ren. Rev. O. S. Metzler, pastor of M. E. Church will conduct the services. The Odd Fellows and Maccabees as j well as large delegations of railroaders from different points between here and j Buffalo will be in attendance —the R. ] R. Co. having granted transportation to all employees desiring to attend the funeral. The floral offerings from friends and relatives are beautiful and touching. Thus closes the earthly career of a good man. HE STILL LIVES. IN ATTENDANCE FROM ABROAD. Rev. and Mrs. J. M. Johnston, of Austin, came over this morning to at tend the funeral of the late Samuel L. Stoddard. Rev. Johnston was former ly pastor of deceased. Mrs. J. S. Douglas came over from Olean Sunday evening to assist in car ing for Mr. Stoddard. Chas. Jacobs, of Shingle House, cousin of deceased, was in attendance. J. B. Donavon, of Millport, Pa., (cousin) arrived yesterday und re mains for funeral. Wedding Party. A wedding party came to Emporium yesterday from Dents Run and stopped j at the Warner House until tho Buffalo ! mail departed. The party was com- j posed of Rev. S. L. Frazier, of Cauada, ' and bride, Miss Susie Johnson, who were united in marriage at the home of the bride in Dents Run yesterday morning by Rev. S. Ebersole, who ac companied tho party to this place. Rev. Frazier and brido will reside in Knox, North Dakota. Others of the party were : Miss Zona Frazier, Mon treal, Canada; E. T. Johnson, Jennie Marion, Dents Run ; Misses Clara Wil son and Clara Leggett, Benezette. Horses Killed. Norris & Farley lost a valuable team of horses last Friday at Sizerville cross ing, the Buffalo Flyer striking them. Mr. Norris informs the PRESS they were their best team. HcKinleys Will Qo Home. Mrs. McKinley has so far recovered from her recent serious illness as to al low of her removal to Washington,and the trip will be made on Saturday. Injured While Playing. This morning, while playing with some children in the neighborhood, Fred Tompkins' little son George fell against a window pane, cutting a deep gash in his head. Dr. Bardwell dressed the injury. Important Purchase. W. D. Johnson, the lumberman, has purchased the timber on the Sinnema honing Iron Company's lands, on the south side of river from Emporium to Sterling Run, and has commenced ac tive operations on Canoe Run, where he has already built a camp and placed about fifty men. Mr. Johnson will erect a mill near the timber. He's a hustler, sure enough. Is There a Qod or no God? The great Christian book containing Rev. Lambert's Famous Answers to Bob Ingersoll is the grandest piece of reading that ever came to Emporium. It is highly recommende d by McKin ley, Bryan and all the "leading public ! men as being the greatest literary treat of the nineteenth century. All of Ingersoll's arguments against the Bible are successfully refuted in this book which costs only 35 cents Tell your wife to get it when the agent calls at your home. Every Christian family should have a copy. Don't miss this rare treat. League Anniversary. The Epworth League Chapter at this place celebrated the twelfth anniver sary of that institution, Sunday eve ning last. Between five and six hun dred people gathered in the auditorium of the Methodist Episcopal Chuuch to witness the rendition of an elaborate program. The Junior Department ex celled all former efforts. Prof. Stonffer, Millville, N. J., made a very pointed and elevating address which was well received by all. The League orchestra ] was ably assisted by Mr. Sprout and j Mr. Bowers now of this place and i members of the orchestra. The decor ations were not extravagant but beau tiful and tastily arranged. Many of those present expressed themselves as delighted with the exorcises. TERMS: $2.00 —$1.50 IN ADVANCE WEATHER REPORT. (Forecast by T. B. Lloyd.) FRIDAY, Showers. SATURDAY, Fair. SUNDAY. Fair.

The Bradford Era of Friday says: A few years ago A 1 Smathers was a plain pumper of oil wells in Bradford. Now he is a plutocrat of the first class and makes fortunes in a day. Smath ers is clever and has inside informa tion. The New York Journal says that he has won out $700,000 on the Northern Pacific flurry. As the years go by it is pleasing to note that more farmers write letters on printed letter heads, and have their cards and envelopes It was once thought that no one could do this un les he was engaged ia the production of some specialty or breeding some pure blood farm stock. No one be lieves that now. Every farmer and every household from which any cor respondence is done should have print ed noto heads and envelopes, no mat ter how few the letters written. It costs so very little more than the blank paper that all can afford it, and the benefits more than counterbalance the small additional outlay. Sad News. Mrs. Lodfc Morgan, who has been visiting at the home of J. D. Bell for some weeks, on Tuesday received a telegram from Kansas informing her of the sudden death of her husband. She left 011 Flyer yesterday morning. The news was a great shock to the wife, who heard but a few days ago from her husband, who only complain ed of sore throat.
