The Emporium foot ball team met defeat at the hands of the St. Marys boys on Saturday last, at the grounds of the latter. While the Emporium boys each played a good individual game, they lacked the experience of team work. The game was fiorcoly contested from start to finish, the St. Marys boys winning by a score of eleven to nothing, only after playing the hardest game this season. The main feature of the game was a seventy two yard punt of Howard's for Empori um boys in the last half of the game. A return game will be played here in the near future and the boyo should be ac corded the patronage of the people in their athletic endeavors. The line up of Saturday's game was as follows : St. Marys. Emporium, Holes, Left End Hemphill Bauor, Left Tackle Schweikart Gist Left Guard..

New machinery throughout the plant has been installed at a heavy expense, making the popular Emporium Mills equal to any in this country of the same capacity. The Messrs Felt have for years covered a wide area and the ca pacity of their two mills (Olean and Emporium) has been taxed to their ut most, to meet their trade. Their brands of flour, as well as feed, con tinues to increase in popularity. Valuable Sheep. W. R.

As Others Sea Us. Williamsport Bulletin. Advices received from Cameron county leads the Gazette and Bulle tin to believe that the prospects for success of the Republican county, as well as state ticket, grows brighter every day. While Cameron is usually very close and not al ways reliably Republican on local matters, this year it appears to be ohe intention of the Republicans, as well as many Democrats, who, disgusted with the betrayal of their party in the interests of Wana maker, McClure, Guffy, et. al., to vote the entire Republican ticket. The latest, reports predict the elec tion of Hon. George A. Walker, Associate Judge, and Walter Yothers, Treasurer. Both are popular gentlemen. Mr. Walker, one of the sitting associates, is a star man and trusty in every emer gency. Mr. Yothers, for Treasurer, is exceedingly popular with the labor ing class, especially the woodsmen, having for many years followed that occupation, until by economy he was able <o acquire an educa tion. He is a gentleman of spot less character, popular with all classes and will receive the hearty support of many prominent mem bers of the opposition, who appre ciate his eminent fitness for the re sponsible position of County Treas urer. The citizens of Cameron will make no mistake by voting for the honorable gentleman, but on the oilier hand will be doing them selves credit.

Prominent Society People Wedded. On the twenty-second anniversary of her birth and the thirty-fourth anni versary of her mother's wedding, Miss Alice Weir Sofield, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Breck Sofield was united in marriage to William Bar num Philleo of Cross Fork, in the Presbyterian church at noon yester day. I To the sweet strainsofthe "Wedding Morn" the bridal party entered the sacred edifice at 11:30 o'clock. Lean ing on the arm of her father, the bride headed the procession to the chancel followed by the groora and his best man Mr. Leon H. Newton, of Roch ester, N. Y. Rev. Francis Yarnell, of Coudersport, officiated, using the nuptial Episcopal ceremony. The bride was given in marriage by her father. The costume of the bride was a creation of loveliness that gratified the eye of the gentler sex in Austin far more than is usual on similar oc casions. Her dress was composed ot white silk trimmed with liberty satin ribbon; her feet were encased in silver slippers an heirloom of the family Instead of a bouquets he carried a pearl bound prayer boo k containing tho marriage certificate. Miss Margaret Edith Carson was maid of honor. Miss Carson was beautifully attired and carried a bouquet of white hyacinths. Iler bridesmaids were Miss Edith VV. Cowles of Wellsville, N. Y., and Miss Mary A. Welch of Eldred, Pa. Their dresses were splendid creations of costuming. The groom was tastefully and elegautly attired in a con veil tial Prince Albert black coat and. light trousers. Messrs. Clinton N. Smith, of Thelburn Falls, Mass., and Edward 11. Weaver, of Cross Fork were grooms men, while Messrs. Vernon (irinolds ! and Fred Pomeroy of Austin acted as ushers. A pleasing feature of the ceremony was the presence of flower girls and ribbon boys, Ruth Allison and Marie Brisbois acting as the former and Harold Caskey and Foster Johnston the latter. The floral decorations in the church wore tasteful and remarkably pretty, the colors blue and white prevailing in consonance with the customos of tlio bride and her attendants. At the bride's home on Turner street where a reception was held during the afternoon, the floral decorations were even more gorgeous and pleasing. Hundreds of guests and the bride's friends called to offer their congratula tions and well wishes. Mention must bo made of tho num erous handsome presents of which the newly married couple were the recipi ents, especially the handsome silver service presented by the groom's em ployer, Mr. E. Peltz of Cross Fork. Its massiveness and beauty represents an intrinsic value that speaks well for the esteem in which Mr. Philleo is held. The happy couple left on the even ing train for Harrisburg and other , cities. They will be "at home" in i Cross Fork after Nov. 20th. —Austin Republican. The Campaign Liar. The PRESS had hoped the campaign liar would not be in evidence in this i campaign, but it appears he has started out with the single purpose ot attempt ing to deceive the people in relation to our worthy candidate for County j Treasure, Mr. Walter Yothers. One of ; the most redicuious stories circulated is that Mr. Yothers receives a large sum of money as Justice ot the Peace and a fabulous amount as bookkeeper, when tho facts are that Mr. Yothers does not receive §5.00 per year, so vve are informed by one of the County Commissioners. Any sensible man will take no stock in such trash. Not being able to injure our candidate in any other way, falsehood has boen rs-, sorted to. The late3t to be circulated is to the effect that Mr. Yothers does not intend to conduct the business of the office, but will farm it out. This old chestnut is always circulated when an election of Treasurer is before tho pea pie. The office of Treasurer in this county is not worth sufficient money to enable a Treasurer to do anything of the kind, unless ho desires to give away all there is in it. Mr. Yothers is, practically speaking, a poor man, and being an expert accountant would naturally desire to give the office his personal attention. The question of deputy lias never entered his mind. Walter Yothers will bo elected Treas urer and his honest smiling, counten ance will greet you on the Hill after the first Monday in January next. Ante-election stories react. Tlios.

The First National Bank of Empor ium has received and will soon place in position for the use of their patrons, one hundred safety fire burglar proof vaults, where valuables may be de posited by the renter. The boxes range in price from §1.50 to §3.00 per year. This new departure on the part of the First National will be appreciated by their patrons. Will Harry. Henry W. Graham, of Emporium, will lead to the altar Miss Adeline Lawson in the near future, the cere mony to take place in St. Paul's A. M. E. Church, at Bellefonte, Pa., Nov. 21st. Mr. Graham has resided in Em porium for many years and is a quie l " , industrious citizen, having the respect u,nd confidence of our citizens. The lady of his choice has for more than seventeen years been wi !i the family of the late Ex. Gov. A. G. Curtin, and no doubt will make our friend's home a happy one. Our citizens will certainly wish them well. Long Distance Phone. Commencing with to-day Emporium is connected with the outside world. The New York and Pennsylvania Telephone and Telegraph Company, whose announcement appears on the Bth page of this week's PRESS, have completed their line. This will be a groat convenience to our business men who have occasion to talk with distant points. Geo. Metzger, Jr., is manager of lines in this county and patrons will be served by calling at his place of business. Our Landlord Farmer. William McGee has been absent for several weeks and the boys were great ly concerned about him, until word was received that he was somewhat dubious as to when ho would reach home but that he had started for home with his share of the potatoes, three bushels, having left Meshoppen ten days ago, following a pheasants trail in the direction of Renovo. This morn ing John Meyers reported he had met him at Renovo, but fearing his potatoes would not last until he reached Em porium had turned back to Meshoppen for a fresh supply, or wait until water mellon sei3on arrives, when Dean Sampson had guaranteed some blind' robins. At the Same Old Game. Honest Republicans will not be caught voting for the fusion state ticket, commonly called tho "Onion" ticket. Republicans should reflect and ask themselves this question; "are not these gentlemen who are urging you | to vote this ticket the same men who j yearly pose as reformers and are al- j ways sure to be kickers, no matter how worthy the candidates upon the Re publican ticket may be." These bogus reformers will hear something drop on Nov. sth, that will hurry their hypo critically self-nominated ticket under a sweeping Republican majority oi' , one hundred thousand for Potter, Harris and regularity in party politics. Honest Democrats are just as luucii interested in defeating this pang of bogus reformers (?) Walter Yothers is a good clean gentleman and his administration of the affairs of theofliceof Count) Treasurer will receive his indivi dual attention. Vote for Yothers. BRIEF nENTION. Many Emporiumites left for Buffalo Tuesday morning to witness the clos ing scenes of Pan-Am. A new issue of postal cords will ap pear shortly afcer December Ist. Presi dent McKinley's picture and name will embellish them. The Pennsylvania railroad company will erect car shops at Olean for the Buffalo & Allegheny division of the company's property. A serious freight wreck is reproted to have occurred near Buffalo, this morning, all trains being delayed. We are unable to secure one word of infor mation. Don't get gay with the editor, says an exchange. A young woman poked fun at the editor of the B'.uffton (Ind.) Banner because his tr 'Users were patched. The editor went home and sued her husband for $lO he owed on subscription. Representative Maloney, of Venan go county, it is said will vote for Pot tor and Harris this year, becacse he cannot stand the fusion idea Mr. Maloney is a good deal of an independ ent Democrat, and cannot stand the "Onion" party. It is proposed at Washington to erect a magnificen monument to the late President McKinley in the shape of a memorial arch to cost §2,000,000, on the district of Columbia end of the propos ed memorial bridge, the construction of which is practically assured. The bridge will be one of the finest in the world, and the proposed arch will make it almost unique among memorial structures. Tne St. Marys Gazette truthfully re marks: "Girls will do well to hold aloof from so-called fellows that gain a liveli hood by banging around tho home of their parents. Of all abominations on God's smiling earth, the most sicken ing is the young man who is too i;izy to work and lives on the earnings of an aged father or mother. Parasites of such a type should not bo allowed to associate with respectable people. They are a shame to their kin, a libel upon mankind, and are tho best exenso for the existence of a hell of Are to punish such as spend their lives in sin and idleness." lion. Geo. A. Walker will have a walk-away for Associate Judge, but that is no reason why you should not vote for him. Make his election unanimous. Last Sad Kites. In our last issue the PRESS at some length, gave an account of the death of JAMES MORRISSEY. The funeral of the deceased took place last Sunday after noon at 3 o'clock and was one ot the largest ever witnessed in this place. St. Mark's Catholic Church, of which deceased was a faithful member, was filled with our citizens, comprising all classes and denominations, attesting to the universal respect in which deceased was held by our people. The remarks by Father Downey were well timed and highly eulogistic. After viewing the remains the casket was closed by funeral director Egan, when the large concourse of people silently wended their way to the "silent city." Thus closes the career, on earth, of one more respected citizen. The PRESS scribe noticed a very largo number of friends in attendance, in addition to relatives, and shall endeavor to give their names as far as possible: The Family:—J. S. Morrissey, Super ior, Wis.; Mrs. Webb Sater, Tacoma, Wash ; P. J. Morrissey, Sidnaw, Mich igan; J. L Morrissey, and Mrs. M. F. Friol, Renovo, Pa.; Mrs. H.

Czolgosz, murder er President William McKinley, paid the extreme penalty exacted by the law for his crime. He was shocked to death by 1,700 vol is of electricity. He went to the chair in exactly the same manner as have the majority of all the other murderers in this state, showing no particular sign of fear, but, in fact, doing what few of them have done, talking to the witnesses while he was being strapped in the chair. "I killed the President because he was an enemy of the good people—of the good working people. I am not sorry for my crime." These were his words as the guards hurried him into the chair. A moment later he mumbled through the half-adjusted face straps: "I am awfully sorry [ could not see my father." Rev. Cordello Herrick, chaplain of the prison, was iu the death chamber ready for any call that might be made for his services. He was not wanted by the prisoner, however, and sat quietly in the rear of the chamber throughout the execution. The clothing and personal effects of the prisoner were burned under direc tion of Warden Mead shortly after the execution. A Delightful Concert. The opening entertainment of the Star Course, given under the auspices of the Brockway Lyceum Bureau, of Pittsburg, at the opera house last even ing, was a most delightful one The audience was large and enthusiastic, and very liberal in its applause, and the numerous encores were responded to in a very gracious manner. The en tertainment was given by the Patricolo Concert Company, comprising the fol lowing high class people: Signor Angelo Patricolo, Pianist; Miss Agness Rapp, Soprano; Mies Winifred Gray Reader; Mr. Herbert Butler, Violinist. Their selections were of the very high est order, and in its entirety the con cert was the trent that it was expected to be, and the audience was delighted. Many took occasion to compliment Mr. S. H Clair, the resident manager, as they wero leaving the theatre, on the auspicious opening of the course.— Evening Telegram, Ashland, Pa., Oct. 29th, 1901 At Court House, Emporium, Pa., Monday evening Nov. 4th.

County Chairman Robertson, spoke at McKeesport last Saturday evening for the Republican ticket. Senator Flinc. stood squarely on the Republican plat form and said in part: "There are many things I would like to have done in the State of Penn sylvania, and many that I would ratti er have left undone. More first class laws should be passed; improved bal lot laws, stringent primary election laws, extensive additions to hospitals, educational institutions, insane asy lums, public parks and good road* should be promoted." Senator Flinn insisted that these alf. would come quickly, and asserted that his interest in them had not abated one bit. Ho also argued for personal registration, saying that under the present system there are 30 per cent too many names on the lists. Senator Flinn said the defeat of the Republican ticket will be considered \ in other States a failure on the part j of Pennsylvania to support the mar j tyred McKinley, under whose policies | the industries of the Commonwealth. have thrived, and his successor, Roose- I velt. He therefore urged that aU I labor roll up a big majority. Vote the entire Republican ticket J and get your neighbor to do the j sauie.
