PARSONS. ? ( WALL PAPER! We have as fine a stock of wall paper as can be found in this county. The designs are all this spring's styles and the prices we are offering these handsome prints at are wonderfully low. We are determined to dispose of this stock. CARPETS AND HATTINGS. It is time to replace that old carpet of yours with a new one Our line of carpets is the most handsome we have ever had and are admired by all who have seen them. We have held the cupet trade of this county for a number of years and on. low prices and fair treatment have been steadily nuking this store the most popular.

Fell Dead While Filing a Saw. A woodsman by the name of James j Johnson, who came here from Trout Run recently and was employed in the ! woods at Cooks Run on C. B. Howard ! Company's job, expired suddenly on Sunday morning while in the act of filing a cross-cut saw at DeLong's camp. The deceased leaves two brothers and a sister to survive him but as their residence could not be ascertained, the remains were interred in Newton Cemetery, Tuesday, proper burial be ing given the deceased by his employ ers the C. B. Howard Company.

Emporium is now the largest freight I paying station, between Harrisburg I and Erie, the Pennsylvania Railroad receiving more money from this point than any other between Harrisburg and Erie. Of course the enor | moua amount of freight received by ! Emporium Iron Company is the cause j of the rapid increase. Houses in Demand. The demand for dwelling houses In Emporium is larger every day and not a house to be had. Hardly a day passes but some person calls at the PRESS offi ce in search of a "house for rent." Arm Broken. Little Miss Rena Clare, duaghter of Mr. Clare, who works in the Keystone Powder Company plant, had the mis fortune to fall a few days ago, breaking her right arm. Dr. Heilman reduced the fracture. Kept Busy. Chief of police Mundy has been kept busy of late in the East Ward, the floating population of that end of the city being more or less noisy and dis orderly. Owing to his vigilance eight unfortunates spent Sunday in the "coop." Children's Day. The Presbyterian church was crowd ed with an appreciative audience Sun day evening, that had assembled to listen to the annual children's day services. An especially fine program had been prepared for the occasion and it was rendered in a highly credi table manner by the members of the Sunday school. /"loving an Old Landmark. Contractor J. W. Kriner who has been awarded the contract for the erection of the new Emanuel church at this place is busily engaged in pre paring for the removal of the old structure to the rear of the church lot at Corner of Fourth and Walnut streets. This church was erected in 1867 and is the oldest in Emporium. Not Ciood Form. It is a poor form nowadays to publish a card of thanks to those who have as sisted in the care of a friend or relative during his last sickness or have assisted in connection with the obsequies. These are services which need no public ac knowledgment. That is all understood and a word of personal thanks, spoken or written, is a much more courteous and appropriate recognition of the hoi ping hand so freely tendered and so deeply appreciated on such occasions than any formal newspaper card. Anonymous Writer's Name I>esired. Chief of Police Mundy would be very grateful if the party who wrote him a letter this week, concerning the nuisance occasioned by small boys shooting firecrackers and other explo sives on the streets, would kindly furnish him with the writer's name in order that Mr. Mundy may confer with him. Chief Mundy is ready and willing to do all in his power to abate this nuisance and would like to gain the co-operation of the anonymous writer as well as all owners of horses in doing away with the obnoxious practice of snapping explosives on our streets. Doing Large Business. Since the Emporium furnace has been transferred to Mr A. Brady, one of the best iron masters in the state, it has steadily advanced and is now turn ing out one thousand tons of pig iron of excellent quality every week. The high reputation of Emporium iron makes it a ready seller and it is almost a daily occurrence to see the iron load ed on cars before it is cold, so eager are the consumers to secure this pro duct. It must be gratifiying to Mr. , Brady to realize that Emporium fur ! nace is doing a larger and better busi ness than at any time since its erection. The reputation of this iron is good ; with the trade, and the future of this industry seems assured, as long as the prosperity of the country continues, and that seoms assured for some years. In Critical Condition. John Gayney, of this place, who has been staying in Philadelphia since last April, where he is receiving medical treatment, has been located in Penn sylvania Hospital. Jos. Freindel and W. L. Thomas went to Philadelphia last Saturday to investigate his condi tion, returning home yesterday morn ing. Mr. Gayney is in a very precar ious condition and his recovery is ex ceedingly doubtful. His disease is of a cancerous nature. Notes and News. Gov. Stone has signed the bill em powering the president of councils to act in the absence of a burgess. From all reports Emporium needs a whipping post very much, at present. Franklin Housler has repainted his residence, corner Maple and Fifth streets. The Emporium base ball team will play at Coudersport on the Fourth of July. Peter Schweikart has greatly improv ed the outside appearance of his store building by a new coat of paint. Why don't some one build a number of houses that will rent at a reasonable rate. There is a large demand for tenement houses. A musical cigarette box is said to be the latest thing out. Every time you open|the box and take a cigarette out it plays "Nearer, My God to Thee." The new stone pavement in front of the M. E. church was completed last Saturday. Laying of the walk was sup erintended by Peter Schweikart and is a fine piece of work. Philadelphia wants the Delaware deepened so that vessels drawing 30 feet can reach the port. This clamor for more water comes with singular grace from a people who are persis tently complaining of what water they have. While cutting a popular at his saw mill in Lee county, Va., C. R. Kesterton found an auger hole plugged by a pin. On removing the pin ho found in the hole five §2O gold pieces bearing dates between 1850 and 1860. The coins are supposed to have been hid there for safe keeping during the Civil War. A Georgia editor announced in his publication that ho had been kissed by the most beautiful lady in the town, and that in a few days he would print her name. During these few days, as the story goes, the number of sub scribers to his paper was doubled. And when he announced that the lady was his wife the new subscribers realiz ed that gold bricks are sold outside of -LJew York city. Give house to house peddlers the cold shake. Their interests are of no concern of yours. They take your money out of town and leave none, they have no business reputation to sustain and are more likely to skin you than not, there is absolutely no advantage in buying from a peddler. There is no article they sell that cannot be bought as cheap from our home merchants who pay taxes and help build up the town. This advice will apply equally as well to home merchants, who occasionally place their orders with some cheap traveler, soliciting job printing. War With Italy. Yesterday evening a number of Ital ians came to Emporium from down the line and not being used to our brand of liquors evidently got too much. Police man Beattie attempted to stop a row when one of them fought the officer but a good "feeler" from Peter's club laid him out. This caused anothe- howl from the infuriated gang and tor a minute or two it was lively times. One Italian pulled a knife and made for Policeman Beattie and Councilman Balcom, but Frank did not do a thing but crack his heels in the air, and as sisted Mr. Beattie in locking them both up for the night. Literary Prize Contest. Answer to question No. 3: Menen dez landed fifteen hundred Spanish colonists on the coast of Florida in j 1505; and they planted the oldest I church in what is now the United I States, at St. Augustine. The old | cathedral and fort were built of coqui ! na. Native Indians and Mexican eon i victs were forced to do the labor, and j it took one hundred years to complete j the fort, which was said to be the pret- I tiest fortress in the King of Spain's do | minions. The antique cathedral burn j ed down a few years ago. i Query No. 4. What famous toast | did Benjamin Franklin make when representing the infant American Re public at a diplomatic dinner ? The books in the Emanuel Reading Room are the generous gift of a gener ous man to the public. There is no charge for consulting them. This : statement is made because an erroneous j idea prevails that ono cannot consult j the library without paying a fee. j Study the books freely for answers to ; questions in the Literary Contest. Send your answers to box 163, Em | porium, Pa. An answer went astray, I last week, through omitting the nuni | ber of the box. Card of Thanks.
