FETTER, were united in mar riage by the Rev. O. S. Metzler, pastor of the Methodist Episcopal Church. They have the best wishes of their friends for a happy and prosperous life. Accidents at Sinnamahoning. Last Saturday a young man, named Thoreia, employed in the Sinnamahon ing kindling wood factory received an ugly cut by a piece of wood flying from a saw. Another accident also occured, to a young man employed on the log train, last Saturday. One of his feet was smashed by being caught between two loaded cars of logs. Emporium School Board. The Emporium school directors met Monday evening and organized by electing the following officers: Presi dent, L. K. Iluntiugton; Secretary, N. J. Earner; Treasurer, F. P. Rentz. Prof. Bastian was re elected principal and Miss Van Valkenberg, assistant. The election of teachers will be com pleted and announced at the next meet ing. New Emmanuel Church. Emmanuel Church Vestrymen on Monday awarded the contract to John W. Kriner for the erection of their new stone church, a very handsome design. The edifice will occupy tho location of the old church. We are not permit ted to publish the full particulars as to cost, etc , but from what we can learn when the building is completed it will be one of the finest in this section of the state. The church is to be enclosed by December of this year. Will Probably Leave Us. W. S. Walker, son of our townsman Geo. A. Walker, Sr., has accepted a re sponsible position with the Emporium Lumber Company, of which he i 3 a stockholder. The new duties require him to devote at least part of his time to the business, which, of necessity, will take him from home a greater part of the time. The growing business of this firm may require him to move his family to Austin in the future. We hope not. Mr. Walker is an excellent citizen and business man and his pleas ant family among the most respected. Death of James McKinnon. James McKinnon aged 48 years, an , employe of Hon. F. X. Blumle was' kicked by a horse last Wednesday morning and died from the injuries on Saturday morning. The gentleman's friends reside in NovaScotiaand though ] communicated with, arrangements for the forwarding of his body could not be effected and the burial was made in Newton Cemetery. The services were conducted at the home of Mr. Blumlo on Sunday at 2 o'clock, p. m.and were very largely attended. They were in charge of the Rev. O. S. Metzler, pastor of the First Methodist Episcopal Church, and were deeply impressive, a sense of sadness pervading all hearts. The music which was furnished by members of the Pres byterian choir was tender and beautilul. The thoughtful kindness of Mr. Blumle and family in effecting the ar rangements for the services and for the burial is hiplily creditable and is com mended by all. Integrity and Capacity of Women In i Business. I "Do women embezzle" ? This ques tion was asked one of the heaviest dry ' goods merchants of one of our large cities who always employ women as cashiers. "Do women embezzle"? I "No they don'tjl never knew a woman ( who handled other people's money to steal a cent. And I have employed I, women cashiers for years. They are quicker at making change than men, they keep their accounts cleaner and don't want to run the whole store as men usually do. Never knew a single case of embezzlement by women, can't say the same of men." Many such testimonies could bo had, proving the honesty of women when handling the , money of other people. The statement of others who have informed them , selves on this subject is that women seldom ever fail to pay their debts, even . when they might avail themselves of I the bankrupt law they prefer holding themselves legally liable for the debt. : While newspapers are full of wicked theft, and embezzlements of bank presi dents running away with fortunes be ; longing to others, wrecking homes, impoverishing families, destroying re ; putations, disgracing their friends and ruining themselves. While trusted men are robbing public institutions, , speculating, gambling and stealing car , ing not whom they rob, wrong or ruin, women fare seldom guilty of such dis -1 honesty or crimes. The general belief is that women are honest, yet in the face of this fact men refuse to lend them money to start in business, to invest in real estate, or help them save their property upon which they have paid a certain amount, and which can only be saved by prompt payment of the re mainder. Women often find it hard to secure even a small loan on good security. Men prefer to say they have not the means at hand or some other excuse, a few are manly enough to state the truth and say "We do not do business with women." Very few treat them as they do men giving them a chance to make an honest living. Why is this? Some men cling to the old idea that it i 3 not becoming in women toen gage in business outside of her home, however needy we may be. Hundreds of wealthy men will give and give liberally to establish homes fur women who have tried to secure homes f Day Limit, sold Tuesdays and j Saturdays, not good in parlor or I sleeping earn $3 CO $4 10 . 10 day limit, good in parlor orsieep- I ing cars 5 45 5 95 Season, final limit November 30, 10D1 035 035 !

I gazed at her with kindling eye And admiration utter— Until I saw her silken skirt Was trailing in the gutter! "What senseless style is this?" I thought; "What new sartorial passion? j And who on earth stands sponsor for j The idiotic fashion?'' I've asked a dozen maids or more, A tailor and his cutter, But no one knows why skirts are made To drag along the gutter. I What lovely woman wills to do She docs without a reason, To interfere is waste of time. To criticise is treason. Man's only province is to work To earn his bread and butter— And buy her all the skirts she wants To trail along the gutter. —Life. IIOGAL All kinds and grades of carpets at I La Bar's.
