Death of Mrs. Theresa Glaeser.
Mrs. Theresa Glaeser, the estimable
wife of Frark Glaeser, died at 7 o'clock
Wednesday morning at the hospital,
after an illness of about two weeks, with
peritonitis. But small hopes were en
tertained fo- her recovery during the
past week, although the attending
physicians tixed their medical skill
in an endeavor to overcome the rav
ages of the malady. Deceased was
aged forty-nine years, fifteen of which i
had been passed as a resident of this j
city, where sle was held in the great
est esteem by a wide circle of friends
and acquaintances. Mrs. Glaeser was
a member of the First Presbyterian
church, a consistent christian woman,
possessing thofe qualities of mind and
character whl:h endeared her to all
with whom she came in contact. Be
sides her husband, ;;he leaves to mourn
her loss, a father, Charles Wellor of
Sizerville, Pa., and two sisters, Mrs.
George C. of this city, and
Mrs. Kate Tough ofOlean, all of whom
are, at present, in Bradford. The re
mains were talmi to the residence of
Mr. Fagnan on Kennedy street, from
where the funeral was held at 2:30
o'clock Thursday afternoon. Rev.

ThePeope's Course.
The Peoples Popular Star Course will
open Monday evening, Nov. 4th, the
attraction being the Patricolo Grand
Concert Company, of Chicago- a strong
musical and literary organization. The
course tickets are now in the hands of
the committee and ate being distribut
ed to advance subscribers. It is hoped
that all who have not subscribed will
do so, as the !i->t of talent is of excep
tional merit and deserves the largest
patronage of our people Holders of
course tickets can reserve seats for the
series of five attractions. This change
was determined upon in deference to
a general desire and it is believed the
plan will prove popular with all.
Course tickets will be §1.50 each and
can be obtained from members of the
committee and at the book store of 11.
S. Lloyd. The time of the opening of
the chart will be announced later.
Duties of Acting Coroners.
Recently Judge Clark, of Clarion
county, held ovar the allowance of costs
on three inquests held by justice of the
peace, who acted in the place of the cor
oner. In the opinion which ho filed
Judge Clark said: "Where a justice of
the peace holds an inquest, the return
must show that ho had jurisdiction by
reason of there being no lawful ap
pointed coroner, or of hia absence from
the county, unable to attend, or that
his office was inoro than ten miles dis
tant from the place where the death
occurred or the body was The
judge therefore held the three cases
over until the jurisdiction of the justice
of the peace, as stated above, is proper
ly set in the return of each case.
Cobb-Leet.
At the pleasant home of our towns
man, Henry K. Cobb, is transpiring
to-day a happy event, in which his
daughter, Louise, and Frank A. Leet
are the parties most deeply interested.
Rev. W. JI. Rogers performed the cer
emony that made these two very high
ly esteemed young people one. Only
the near relatives and four members of
the H. S. M. S. were present. A trip
to Buffalo will be included in the tour,
after which the newly wedded pair
will reside in Coudersport, where Mr.
Leet enjoys a growing law practice
and where we hope they may "live
happy forever after," as they certainly
daserve to do.—Coudersport Journal.
Died of Diphtheria.
Last Sunday, Marion, eldest son of
Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Barr died at Millers
Siding, of dyphtheria, aged 12 years.
This is a severe shock to his parents,
he being a model son, beloved by all
who knew hi in.
Miss Barr is suffering with the same
disease and is in a critical condition.
Several other families in the neighbor
hood are afflicted with the dreaded
disease among whom are those- of W
U. Barr and Messrs. Bailey.

Emporium Talent Appreciated.
Miss Grace Walker, of this place,
recently assisted at a concert given at
Warren bj r the choir of the First Luth
eran church and the Warren Daily
Mirror speaks in flattering terms of
the entertainment, referring to Miss
Walker as follows:
Miss Grace Walker, violinist, who
assisted the choir, evinced that she is"
an artist of unusual ability. Her
playing is full of color and a charming
personality is given each piece. Wher
ever octaves, chords or double notes
occur, which is indisputably difficult
on a violin, one is surprised with the
ease and clear manner in which she
presents them. She puts much ieeling
in her whole playing which only a true
lover of the instrument and profession
can do. A most hearty reception will
be accorded Miss Walker should she
ever visit Warren again.
A Beautiiui Wedding.
No wedding in recent years elicited
more general interest in the social
world than the marriage yesterday of
Miss Adah Richardson with Mr. V.
King Pifer, of Dußois, which occurred
at noonday in the Union church, and
everyone was unanimous in voicing
the wedding a beautiful one.
The bridal party included Miss Ruth
Richardson, sister of the bride, who
was maid of honor; Mrs. E. L. Kimpel,
matron of honor; Misses Elizabeth
Richardson and Myrtle Smith, the
maids; Helen Richardson and Beatrice
Sherwood, of Union City, fiowergirls.
Mr. Pifer's best man was Wm. G.
Brown, of Dußois, and the ushers
were Andy Denny, Jr., of Wiiliam
sport, Jos. F. Spankle and Walter
Eisenman, of Dnßois, and Frank E.
Richardson, Jr., brother of the bride.
The usual order of bridal processions
was observed, the ushers leading the
way, followed by the maids and maid
of honor.
The bride was given away by her
father, F. E. Richardson with whom
she entered the church. She was
handsomely gowned in white satin
draped with cream lauo and wore a
long tulle veil and carried a bouquet
of bride's roses The maid of honor
was gowned in white d'esprit over pink
silk and carried pink and white carna
tions. The bridesmaids wore cream
silk and the flower girls were gowned
in white organdie.
Miss Nellie Huntley presided at the
piano and Miss Frank Huntley sang
the bridal solo 3, the first of which was
"Shall I Wed Thee," followed by
Lohengrin's wedding march. After
the ceromony the solo, "Thou Art
Mine and I Am Thine," was sung and
the party, marched out to the strains
of Mendelssohn's wedding march. Miss
Huntley then sang "My Heart at Thy
Sweet Voice."
The church was handsomely decorat
ed for the occasion. On the stage was
a mound made of evergreen and fern,
and the organ was banked in like man
ner. The windows were covered with
curtains bedecked with vines, potted
plants were gouerously distributed
about the alter and the pews were
decorated with hydrangea and laural
Immediately after the ceremony a
reception was held at the home of Mr.
and Mrs. C. F. Laughton, uncle and
aunt of the bride, on Third street, and
after a sumptuous wedding dinner the
happy couple boarded the 3:18 flyer
for Buffalo and other points. They
will bo at home in Dußois tho latter
part of October. The bride was the
recipient of many valuable and varied
presents.—Driftwood (Jazette.

EMPORIUM, PA., THURSDAY, OCTOBER 17.1901.
REPUBLICANS ! DO YOUR DUTY.
Republicans of Cameron! An
other important election will soon
be hero and you will be expectel
to exercise your constitutional
right and vote for tin; elevation of
certain gentlemen to positions of
responsibility and honor. Wliicl
will it be? Your duty as hones
Republicans and loyal citizens call;
upon you to vote the straigh
Republican ticket, both state and
county, without a scratch.
Your state candidates are met
of unimpeachable character and o:
course will have an old-fashionec
majority of at least one luindrec
thousand. See that the party oi
McKinley rolls up a McKinley ma
jority in Cameron county.
The most important matter for
your consideration is the election
of safe and good men to the re
sponsible positions of Associate
Judge and County Treasurer of
this county. While the PUESS
lias no intention to speak dispar
agingly of the candidates placed
before you by our friends of the
other side, yet we should not bo
doing our duty if we failed to call
your serious attention to some facts.
The office of Associate Judge is
of vast more importance to the tax
payers of Cameron county than
you imagine. Questions are con
tinually arising that, of necessity,
must be decided by the Associates,
and they should be men of ripe
business experience and therefore
familiar with public questions.
George A. Walker, your candidate,
by careful industry and economy
after years of hard labor.as an iron
worker, having for more than
twenty years weihled the hammer
and handled the tongs, rose, step
by stop, until to-day he is is con
sidered one ol' the best business
men in this section of the country
and identified with important
financial and manufacturing insti
tutions. His ripe experience emi
nently iits liim for election to the
position he so ably fills by appoint
ment of Gov. Stone. Again, Mr.
Walker is on the shady side of life
and as a neighbor, good citizen and
faithful officer wherever called, it
is a duty we owe, one and all,
(laying aside politics) to an honor
ed and respected citizen to give Mr.
Walker a practically unanimous
election. We have too much faith
in the good judgement of the citi
zens of this county to believe they
will do otherwise.
The other important and respon
sible position to which you are
called upon to elect is that of
County Treasurer. Both of the
candidates are young men of ability
and popular, especially so where
they are more familiarly known.
While we do not dispute the ability
of the gentleman presented by the
opposition, it does not prevent the
Republican party from praising the
signal litness and ability of their
candidate, Mi'. Walter Yothers, of
■ Driftwood. lie is a gentleman of
• pleasing address, expert account
ant and obliging at all times. In
j his intercourse with men he has
j shown his sturdy character to be
' such as to rally to his support,
I practically the unanimous vote of
j his neighbors, regardless of party,
j That he will make a competent of
j ffcial none can say to the contrary;
| that he is entitled to the united
i support of his party there can be
110 valid reason offered why not.
The eastern section of the county
! for the first time in twenty years
ask that they be accorded this of
, lice and strongly support Mr.
Yothers as their candidate. Their
demands should be listened to and
heeded by the Republican party of
the county. Their demands, made
in strong tortus, should receive
serious consideration by all who
call themselves Republicans. Right
is right.
Republicans! Do Your Duty.

Seriously Injured.
We regret to learn of a serrious ac
cident to Mrs. J. H. Cole, of Keokuk,
lowa, by falling into a sewer. Her
parents at this place, Mr. and Mrs.

famous Passion Play of Ober Ammer
gau will be produced in St. Mark's

The Electric Light Plant.
J. H.Vail, of Philadelphia, one of the
finest Electrical Engineering experts in
country, came to Emporium Tuesday,
at the request of Borough Council to
inspect our Electric lighting plant.
Mr. Vail in his report says, that the
gas engine and appliances, the electric
generator and exciter, the switchboard
and instruments, the arc lamps and
regulators, poles,wires, insulators &c.,
have been supplied equal to the specifi
cations and that all are strictly first
class, of a high grade. He states how
ever that some of the poles have been
pulled out of position by the strain of
the heavy wires and that the trees
have not been sufficiently trimmed
and not enough insulators put on the
..iie where thoy pass through the trees.
He says that the corrections required
are not serious or expensive and can
readily be made without interfering
with the operation of the lights.
Mr. Vail concludes by saying that he
believes we will have a very excellent
and economical plant that will give
first-class service, and that he knows
of no plant of the same capacity that
was ever putin at a less cost, when it is
considered that all the apparatus is of
a high grade. lie winds up by saying
that he knows of many plants ot the
same capacity that are not nearly so
good but have cost more money.
The Institute.
The thirty-fifth session of Cameron
county Teachers' Institute now in ses
sion, is one of the most satisfactory, in
point of practical worth to the teacher,
ever held in this county. Miss Collins
has engaged the very best talent to be
had and we hope may realize sufficient
to meet the heavy expense. Tho at
tendance and entertainment, thus far
has been very good. This evening
Maro, the magician, will hold the fort.
Let every one attend.
THE EVENING ATTRACTIONS.
Monday Evening; "Life's Musical
Scale" was the subject of a lecture by
Prof. Frank H. Green, of Wjest Chester.
While not posing as a platform orator,
Prof. Green has powers as an enter
tainer far beyond the average. His
humor was chaste and natural and
kept his audience in a very agreeable
mood all throuph the evening. As a
summary of the forces that insure
success in life, the lecture could scarce
ly be surpassed and its power.for good
will long abide.
Tuesday Evening: The Ariel Ladies
Sextette achieved a distinct triumph
and, if possible, made for themselves a
firmer place than ever in the appre
ciation of our people. The length of
the program was more than doubled
and even then the audience seemed
insatiable.
Miss Marguerite, the Reader, was
accorded an ovation. Her impersonaj
tions of child-hood were simply inimi
table.
Wednesday Evening: "Sparks from
tho Anvil" by Dr. Homer T. Wilson, fof
Kentucky, can justly be characterized
a great lecture, nothing finer has ever
been heard here, while the manner of
its delivery was truly and greatly im
pressive. His beautiful tribute to our
martyred President made a fitting
climax to a lecture that will live long
in the memory of his auditors.
LOST.— On Thursday, Oct. 10th, on
Fourth street, near Geo. J. Laßar's, a

will be paid for its return to this office.

CAVANAUGH.
MRS. MARY CAVANAUGIJ, aged 56
years, wife of Mr. Michael Cavanangb,

Broad and Third street Sunday, Oct.
13th,, 1901, of congestion of the brain,
after an illness of only a few weeks.
Deceased came to Emporium in 18(55
with her husband and raised a large
family of eleven children—eight sons
and three daughters—all of whom are
grown to manhood and womanhood,
except one son, Frank, aged 14 yearn.
During all these years she was faith
ful in the discharge of her duties as
mother and wife and it is due, in a
great measure, to her economy and
hard work that she reared the large
family of industrious children, all of
whom respected and greatly loved their
mother.

morning from St. Mark's Catholic
Church, Rev. Father Downey officiat
ing. The pall bearers were six sons,

Why Young iioys Leave Farm Monies
The other day a Franklin man vis
ited one of the large farms in a cer
tain township in Venango county and
says he never until then found out the
reason tho farmer boys like to leave
the country and come to the city. He
says he took notes on what the.farmer
boy did the day he was in the country.
They foliow: Arose at 4a. m., walk
ed three-mile" after four cows and drove
them home; went the same distance
into the pasture and got three horses;
came back and fed and cleaned the
horses and helped milk the cows; fed
the calves and a colt; got his breakfast;
hitched up two horjes;took the cows
back to pasture; salted the sheep; work
ed in the garden; dug a couple of bush
els of potatoes; carried in some wood;
picked a wagon load of cider apples;
unhitched the team for his father; got
his dinnor; hitched them up again;
picked five boat loads of stone; carried
in some more wood; dug half an acre of
potatoes; picked some more stone;
chopped some more wood; cut some
corn and when then the man was leav
ing tho boy said he would soon go after
the cows and horses; chop the morning
kindling; help his father with the team;
turn out tho horses, and go out and
; gather buchwheat until 9 o'clock. Tho
1 reasons are pretty good.

The only instance on record of a
post office being named after a patent
medicine, was last year, when in Wet
zel County, W. Va., a now post office
was established and named Kodol, af
ter the famous Kodol Dyspepsia Cure,
manufactured by E. C DeWitt & Co.,
of Chicago. It had given such satis
factory results that the name was un
animously selected by the people for
the new office and adopted by the de
partment at Washington, D.C. This
action was entirely voluntary on the
part of the people of the community,
without any solicitation whatever
from the manufacturers of Kodol Dys
pepsia Cure In fact the first knowl
edge they obtained regarding the mat
ter was when they received a letter
bearing the post mark ''lvodol, W.
Va.," and the contents fully explained
the circumstances. For a verification
of this statement tho reader is referred
to the latest Post Office Guide.
A preparation so highly prized by a
community must be worthy of tho
