THE CAMERON COUNTY PRESS. ESTABLISHED BY C. B. GOULD, MARCH, 1866. VOL. 36. J. R. Buckwalter. The Advance-JCentuekian, More head, Ky. Some may raise the question as to whether it is within the limits of propriety for the editor to step aside from the current events, of every day life to notice individuals, their business operations, and, as a consequence, the effect upon the neighborhoods or com munities in which they live. But we notice that whenever the successful politician with his flattery, shys his caster into the field, that the papers of his ilk politically, especially, and often other papers, are loud and long in their encomiums of his virtues and usefulness and, if it will bear it, like wise of his genealogy et cetera. Just here then we would like to ask a ques tion ! Aside from the politician is it not equally of as much, or more im portance, and of at least as much or greater benefit to the community to write up the facts, and the effect re sulting from the course of the useful, prominent and leading business men in the community ? We needed no apology for what we are about to say, but the foregoing is merely pref'actory to these lines in reference to the man whose name stands at the head of this article, John R. Buckwalter. To say that Mr. Buckwalter is a-euc eessful business man is putting it mild ly; he has known nothing but success, at least, since our first acquaintance with him, in the lumber, saw mijl and mercantile business. Purchasing large tracts of timbered lands, as he finds it conducive to the success of his enter prise. Hundreds of thousands of dol lars involved. His large mill and mills, including booms and other workses sential thereto located on the Licking at Farmers, in this county. The Lick ing river tributary to him for a dis tance of one hundred and fifty, to two hundred miles from Salyersville down. How many thousands of dollars lie scatters in Rowan, Morgan; Magoffin and other counties we do not know, but will venture to say many thou sand annually. How n - <ny littlecoun try stores, their prop .etors, are kept going in business frc /the dollars that flow from him it wr A take a consider able trip and care' A observation and inquiry to tell. r ' Jen how many poor men, and their families, especially in Rowan county, are kept above want and comparatively independent by being in the employ, either directly or i indirectly of John R. Buckwalter, we i do not in the rush of matters often j think of. We do not wish to be too j personal, but Mr. Buckwalter's liberal- j ity and square dealings, his kindness i to' those in his employ wh€n them- | selves or families are sick, and his i indulgence of and waiting on them j when they need help is almost pro-i verbial, yet doubtless some find fault, > and so it has always been and ever will , be. But John R. Buckwalter is a tower of j strength and great good to his com-1 munity. Without being extravagant ; we undertake to say that his record is ; made, as firm as the rock ribbed bills, and it will stand, while the pebbles cast by those who envy him will only rebound to remind them of their futile efforts. We might add that Mr. Buck- . waiter was a veteran soldier in the J great Army of the Union during our Civil War, yet he has no prejudices against those who were opposed to him. His motto is: "Charity for all!" ( He knows no such thing as stooping to a little act. But in conclusion say, all honor to the man of affairs, the business man, who like the heart in the physical anatomy, at each pulsa tion sends the life giving power to the extremeties. We fail to appreciate such men, they are the real benefac tors, they do not feed on the commun ity, and whether they will or no, they do not work for themselves alone, but for the benefit all around them, and so it may be truly said, of John R. Buck waiter, a real and tangible benefit to all. Has a Grievance. Daniel Britton called at the PRESS office last Saturday and entered a vigorous protest against his treatment by the poormasters of Lumber town ship. Mr. Britton claims they are neglecting him in his feeble condition. We know nothing of the trouble be tween the parties but we firmly believe something should be done lor the un fortunate man.

Taylor, Frank Swesey. Poor Master—John W. Lewis. Constable—Willard Swesey. W. L. THOMAS, Committeeman. Proportionate Power. The Republican conference held here j yesterday afternoon and evening did well, we think, in adopting a plan for nominating congress candidates which will proportion to the voting strength i of the several counties comprising this congressional district. The small county of Cameron had a powerful and eloquent champion in Hon. B. W. Green, but it was impos sible to convince those representing the larger counties that his equal re presentation was the proper thing. He was able, however, to secure what amounted to a compromise, as rule 3 as finally adopted shows— that is the i county has on the opening of the bal [ loting by the conferrees an equal rep- I resentation, and only falls behind when I there is a failure to nominate on twenty I ballots. This compromising proposi- I tion was offered by Mr. Arnold and the ' principal was recognized as tho one j upon which concession could bo made ! to small counties without leaving the | people of the larger counties bereft of ' power in proportion to voting strength ! whenever proceedings were blocked by ! a balance in the meeting of conferrees. —Dußois Courier. Another Death Claim Settled. Last Thursday tho New York Life Insurance Company, through its agent ; Don M. Larrabee, paid over to Mrs. j Jacob Kreitner of Gardeau, a cheek for one thousand dollars in settlement of the policy carried by her son, Fred Kreitner in the above company. "Liberty and Union, One and Inseparable." —WEßSTEß. EMPORIUM, PA., THURSDAY, JANUARY 23,1902. Sudden Death. Monroe Bailey, aged 45 years, em ployed as engineer for G. B. Merrill at Dents Run, died suddenly last Sunday, week, while sitting at the breakfast table. He had been sick with diphthe ria but his family thought he was get ting better.

Of Interest to Star Course Patrons. An attraction to be given the patrons of the People's Star Course instead of Martha S. Gielow, incapacitated from appearing by serious illness has not been definitely decided upon. The Copley Square Trio Concert Company, of Boston, is available for April the 2nd, and will be given unless some thing equally desirable can be had be fore that time. Patrons will be duly notified, both as to the entertainment and the date of its appearance. To Hake Hens Lay. Here is an item for our farmers and a good receipt that can be relied on, as the New York chemist remarked while lecturing before the chemistry class, and analyzing an egg said if hens were ! fed regularly they would lay as many | eggs in winter as in summer. Powder- . ed red albumen and black pepper, one i pound of each, mixed. Then mix wheat, bran and cornmeal, same quan- j tity of each, and to each quart of this mixture add two teaspoon fulls of the | albumen and pepper to each twelve j hens. In the evening feed whole grain i and in two weeks' time your hens will I be on duty the same as in summer, s The professor said further that the j hens would not set until he quit feed- j ing this mixture. In an egg famine i like this it is worth trying. "Silver Star" Representatives. Last Thursday evening Ladies Dev-: ling, Whiting, Howlett and Stephens, ' of Silver Star Hive attended the Instal- j lation at Emporium. Mr. Anderson, of Sterling Run, drove up to bring these ladies back after the exercises, but only two of the ladies could come i back with him. Lady Devling remain ed in town till the next p. m., and then got off the train without assis tance, a mile and a half west of Sterl ing. The other lady returned home, but no one seems to know how she came. They all report a splendid re ception and a jolly good time, and de clare that none of them were lodged in the stone house on the hill. No telling what might have happened though, had these ladies remained in town over night, for it is said that two of them were closely followed by Mrs. Swope and her daughter. A Coming Event at The Opera House. Arrangements have lately been made whereby the Thespians, a dramatic organization of The Pennsylvania State College will play here on Saturday, Feb. Bth, for the Presbyterian church. We are glad to hear this as it will pro bably be one of the big events of the season. The young men have many friends in this place. We understand that the play they are presenting this season is "A Russian Honeymoon" by Mrs. Burton Harrison. The State College boys need no in troduction to our people as many will remember their very fine rendition of "David Garrieh," last winter. We are j assured that the popular organization I above noted will present a stronger | oast than ever, and will no doubt be | greeted by the large and intelligent audience. Many of our people no ! doubt remember the very credible per j formance of "David Garrieh," by the 1 State College Thespians last winter. It affords us much pleasure to an ; nounce that this popular organization | will again favor our people on Feb. ! Bth. The entertainment will be for | the benefit of the ladies society of the j Presbyterian church. That the boys | will play to a full house goes almost without Baying. The Hamilton Fair. The Hamilton Hose Fair commences on Monday, Feb. 3d and not Feb.4th as advertised. Our people should remem ber that the Fair commences on Mon day and closes with a ball and supper on Feb. 6th. Suit Continued. The suit between the American Pig Iron Storage Warrant Company and the Sinnamahoning Iron & Coal Com pany before Judge Mayer, at Lock Haven, last Monday was continued until Jan. 31st. Several witnesses from Emporium were in attendance. Oyster Supper—Religious. There will be an Oyster supper, held by the ladies of the M. E. church, at Turley's boarding house, Jacksonville, near Sizerville, next Saturday evening, Jan. 25. All are cordially invited. Proceeds for benefit of pastor. There will be preaching services at Sizerville next Sunday afternoon at 3:00 o'clock. Ice Cream Sale. The ladies of the First Methodist Episci pal church will serve ice cream and cake at the home of Mr. and Mrs. F. P. Strayer next Saturday evening ; ad will appreciate the patronage of their friends. Orders for brown bread, graham bread and baked beans left with Mrs. Strayer or Mrs. Huntington will be promptly filled. Leg Broken. Last Friday evening Martin German, while crossing the Climax R. R. bridge on the Portage, was struck by a car be ing "kicked" onto that railroad and knocked from the bridge. In falling his left left leg caught between the ties, and he was suspended over the ice covered stream when found by the railroad men, whose attention was at tracted by his cries for help. Dr. Smith was summoned and reset the leg, which had previously been broken, several years ago. Enjoyable Evening. Mr. U. A. Palmer entertained a num ber of gentlemen friends last evening an<> royally feasted the boys, with one of the grandest spreads we ever sat down to. Ye editor, who never has much of an appetite had to take a back seat when such big guns as Stowe Barton, E. C. Davison, T. H. Norris, F. A. Hill, Geo. J. Laßar, D W. Felt and others moved to the front. We were not in it for a minute. How ever, it was a great success and Mr. Palmer with the assistance of his good wife and Mrs. S. L. Barton and Miss Mattie Law, saw that all were feasted to their utmost capacity. Public Installation. The public installation of the officers of Good Will Tent, K. O. T. M., and Gladiola Hive L. O T. M., at the opera house last Thursday evening was one of the most pleasant occasions we have been permitted to attend in many a day. About 350 or 400 of the Bees swarmed around the large Hive until the hour for installation. Past Com mander C. L. Butler, as installing offi cer, installed the following officers of the Tent: Past Commander, Robert Clark; Cammaiuler, Jacob Hoffman; Lieut. Com., John Clare; Record Keeper, J. P. McNarney; Chaplain, Cornelius Newton; Sergeant, Frank Pearsall; Master-at-Arms, M. Campbell; First Master of Guard, A. O Swartwood; i Second Master of Guard, F. C. Pye; j Sentinel, N. J. Swartz; Picket, T. L. I Wheaton. Now came the ladies, who were very ! much in evidence. Lady Ellsworth, of • Corry, Pa., Past Great Commander of L. O. T. M., installed the officers of the ; Hive, to the great edification of those i present, as follows: Commander, Deborah Hockley; Past i Com., Mary Winfield; Lieut. Coin., Sarah Swartz; Record and Finance Keeper, Helena M. Butler; Chaplain, Frances Stoddard; Seargent, Laura Lingle; Mistress at-Arms, Clara Clark; Sentinel, Kate Summerson; Pickett, Myrtle Nellis. The ceremony incident to this oc casion was very beautiful and the ladies, who always do everything good or not at all, were cordially applauded. The Banquet tables having been pre pared, being loaded with all that was good, the large assemblage took their seats and made merry for the balance of the evening. The Maccabees can be proud of the great success attending this public installation. The Little Blue Boak. For this month just out The revised time tables of ail Pennsylvania rail roads.

Miss CATHARINE HOBAN, aged 33 years, died at the residence of her sis ter, Mrs. Richard Kelley, on Fourth street, last Saturday evening, after an illness of several months, during which she was a great sufferer with that awful disease, consumption. Surrounded by loving care her pass ing away was peaceful and happy. The funeral took place last Tuesday morn ing, from St. Mark's church, Rev. Father Downey reading High Mass. The remarks of Father Downey were beautifully eulogistic of the deceased. A very large number of citizens viewed the remains of the deceased, prior to their removal to the church, which al though sad was one of the most beauti ful scenes ever seen in Emporium. All that was mortal of the good girl rested as though asleep upon a couch casket, clothed in white, all surmounted with a lace canopy. This beautiful effect was the careful handiwork of Mr. B. Egan, funeral director, for which he deserves this mention. Among the relatives of the deceased present at the funeral were Edward Hoban (brother) and wife, Syracuse, and Patrick Hoban, (brother) Allegany City. The Thespians. The Dramatic Organization of the Pennsylvania State College, The Thespians,have recently made arrange ments to play in this city at the Opera House. The east is composed of young men and both the male and female parts are taken by them '1 hey have recently had the services of an ex perienced coach from Buffalo and.it a dress rehearsal given before a few members of the Faculty and their wives every one declared that the boys acted their parts in the best style The play this year will be the three-act comedy a "Russian Honeymoon." The Thespians will be accompanied by the college quartet who will sing college songs and medleys. They will also have their own Orchestra which is composed of students. They will be here on Saturday, Feb. Bth, and we hope the people will come out and give them a good welcome. DRIEF HENTION. The First Methodist Episcopal church of Emporium has had 14 more acces sions to membershsp. The Erwood Theatrical Company have been playing to crowded houses at the opera house, giving excellent satisfaction. They remain here the balance of this week. At Atlantic City on Sunday, Insur ance Commissioner Durham said: "I am sure Attorney General Elkin will be nominated and eected. Beyond that I have nothing to say on the situa tion in Pennsylvania." Ex-Judge W. H. Jessup aged 72 years, died suddenly at his Scran ton home last Thursday, of heart failure. He was one of the most prominent and able lawyers in the state. Years ago the Judge visited Emporium and delivered a telling political speech in the court house. An exchange says, there is such a thing as genuine aristocracy founded on real worth and merit. But when it is founded on the assumption that the young man or woman who works in the shop or kitchen is beneath the no tice of those who call themselves the cream of society, it is positive evidence of a lack of brains and good sense. A preacher, rai ing his eyes from bis pulpit in the midst of his sermon, was paralyzed with amazement to soe his son in the gallery pelting the hearers in the pews with horse chestnuts. But while the good man was preparing a frown of reproof, the young hopeful cried out. 'You 'tend to your preach ing daddv, and I'll keep 'em awake.— Ex. Siu CHARLES W. DILKE contributes to THE COSMOPOLITAN for February an article on"The Naval Strength of Na tions," which gives not only a most in teresting and comprehensive account of the navies of the great powers but also a clear insight into world politics. Few men possess such knowledge as the author's, gained from years of ex perience in a diplomatic and political career. The article is so broad in scope | and straightforward in treatment that I it will be read with iiiterest not alone | by statesmen but by every one whose I thoughts travel beyond the immediate 1 wants of a single day.
