Foot Ball Team Beaten.
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

Emporium Roller Mill.
Extensive improvements have been
going on at the Emporium Roller Mills
during the past two months. 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. Johnson, one of Bryan Hill's
industrious farmer*, has entered the
sheep raising business quite exten
sively. tie recently purchased a full

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.

Sterling Run, Oct. 30th, 1901.
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.

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

This new departure on the part of the
First National will be appreciated by
their patrons.

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.

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,

Scolgooh Pays the Penalty.
Auburn, Oct. 29.—At 7.12 30 o'clock
this morning Leon F. 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.—

Senator William Flynn, former in

the Republican ticket. Senator Flinc.
stood squarely on the Republican plat
form and said in part:
"There are many things I would

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.

Republican ticket will be considered
