A local sportsman says that the com- ] ing winter will be a severe one. He bases his prognostications on the fact that the hide of squirrels is so thick this : fall that it can hardly bo cut with a knife. He says ho has hunted for u good many years and has yet failed to find that when the squirrels' hide is thick and tough a sever winter follows.— Warren Mirror. Times will never ba better than they are now. If you are not making money now it is because you are in the wrong business or don't know how. If you are making money, the thing to do is to •alt it away somewhere where it will work for you whan the lean years come or when you are sick and old. The time to save monsy is when you are making it.—Bolivar Breeze. At a prayer meeting recently held in a nearby town the minister asked the congregation to bow their heads in prayer. He called on different ones i present to make responses. Finally he said, "Brother Jones?" Receiving no response he elevated his voice and said, "Brother Jonaa, will you lead?" The j one addressed aroused from his nap and blurted out: "Goto thunder! It aint my lead, I just dealt." Following are the rules for proper breathing. After retiring at night, re lease body and mind from all tension and take full and regular inhalations through your nostrils; hold the breath about one second; take all the time you can to exhale it; keep this up until you are weary or fall asleep. 2—When you awake in the morning repeat the exer cise for at least five minutes; longer, if time permits. 3—During the day take as many full respirations as exhalations. While taking these exercises, one should bear in mind the thought that he is in haling new life and power. The largest compact body of land owned by the state, is the forest pre serve of some 120,000 acres in the central part of the state lying in the counties of Union, Snyder, Miffin, Centre and Huntingdon, says a Wellsboro ex change. In Potter county where the state has just recently acquired a com pact body of 35,000 acres of forest lands, a fact worthy of note is to be related that in one warrant No. 1191 Allegheny township—within half a mile of each other and just north of the state por serve watersflow into three great" rivers namely—the Susquehanna, the Alle gheny and the Genesee—all rising from ■prings in this township. Says the Youngstown Vindicator: 'A man usually gets more fun out of his enemies than good out of his friends Indeed, it is a question whether it is more a satisfaation to have a man your friend or your inveterate foa. To an noy, humiliate and defeat the latter is likely more gratifying than to oblige or aid the friend. "Revenge is sweet." Hatred produce J honey, while friend ship is a namby-pamby producer of soft sentiment generally as insipid as credit pink-tea. There's avirileglory in glut ting ire. and wading around in human gore.

Struck-Oi! Near Lock Haven. Last Saturday oil was struck at Lock Haven in the well on the Gummo farm in the Tangascootac region. The Oil and Gas Co., was formed about a year ago and is composed mostly of Toronto, Canada capitalists. The oil is pro nounced to be of a fine quality -better, in fact, than the product of wells of es tablished fields. Another Oil and Gas Co., has been organized composed of Lock Haven capitalists, who have leased 100 acres of land a short distance from the Gummo farm and a well will be started soon. Mr. Dornan's Leg was Amputated. To settle the question as to whether or not it would be advisable to ampu tate Mr. H. C. Dornan's leg which was j broken in the accident of a week ago Dr. Roswell Park, the eminent surgeon | of Buffalo, was summoned hero Satur day evening. He immediately decided that amputation was the wisest course to pursue, and the operation was per formed that night, requiring about twenty-five minutes' time. The mem ber was severed about an inch above the knee, and the knee cap and skin brought down over the end of the sever ed bone, making a long anterior flap and a sort of cushion for the bono. In this manner it was possible to put all the necessary stitches at the back of the leg. It i 3 considered that after Mr. Dornan secures an artifical limb he will be able to walk better and with greater ease than he has for several ye\rs When an opening was made at the knee it was found that the joint had become solidified, even the knee cap having be come adhered to the bone, requiring considerable work to remove it The operation was considered a very suc cessful one, and it is oxpected that Mr. Dornan's recovery will be rapid.— Coudersport Enterprise.

"Liberty and Union, One and Inseparable." —WEßSTEß. EMPORIUM, PA., THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 13,1902. The Brockway Grand Concert Company. The managers of the Star Course ar« entitled to the thanks of their patrons for the high quality of the musical en tertainment with which the course was opened Tuesday evening. The ap plause, frequent and hearty, was a gratifying proof that our public knows how to enjoy the artistic rendering of music of a higher order than that which is commonly called popular. The Bro Concert Company is a combination throughout. Mr. Woodard, the violinist, is a nephew of Mr. Butler who appeared in the Star Course last year. Mr. Woodard plays with a quiet abandon, which imparts to his music, such an immediacy and pervasiveness as render the eurapt hearer almost un conscious of the artist and his instru ment. Miss Bentley's rendering of Chopin's "Polonaise Militaire" was es pecially pleasing, as was also the Spring Song duet hyMrs. Alton Littleton Smith and Mr. Carberry. A delight to lovers of Browning was Mr. Carberry's render ing of the poet's lyric "Marching Along." Every Day Thoughts. * Some men take it as a sort of a joke on them to be called—mister. Every man who takes charge of a business thinks he has to make a lot of changes. Nothing feels so good as to rest when you are tired. Nobody ever talks too little, but a great many talk too much. Some folks have lights in their parlors so seldom that it causes talk when they do light up. Singers never get credit for knowing much else. A man telling questionable stories is bad enough, but when a woman begins excuse us. Whenever men get on good terms they want to take a drink together. You needn't try to deny being a fool. We can prove it by half tho people in town. Everybody gets tired of looking at other peoples' warts, Death of an Italian. Geusippi Pederose, an Italian, was brought from Emporium here on Satur night, suffering with pneumonia. He was taken to the hospital where treat ment was given him, but the exposure he had received the night before in the ride from Emporium here, made it im possible to do anything for him, and he died on Sunday. He was 39 years of age, and had only been in this country about a year. The funeral was held from Haight's undertaking rooms to day and the remains were interred in the cemetery at this place.—Austin Re publican. Bread and Cake Sale.

Spence Instantly Killed In a Saw Mill—Head, Both Arms and one Leg Sawed Off. Our citizens were horrified, last Mon day morning when informed that H. P. Spence had been instantly killed while working in his saw mill on the lands of Emporium Iron Company, on the moun tain near the coke ovens. Mr. Spence had just moved his mill from More Hill to cut some timber for Mr.Brady, to be used in erecting houses for the coal miners to be employed at Cameron mines and had only that day commenc ed sawing when he met instant death. After cutting a log he attempted to brace himself to roll over the log when he pushed his left leg into the circular saw. In an instant ho was drawn onto the saw, severing his head, both arms and left leg. His workmen were struck dumb when they saw their employer's head roll a distance of thirty feet from the mill, followed by an arm. The ac cident took place in an instant Word was sent to Emporium and to the afflict ed wife and son, who were at their farm on More Hill. Undertaker Laßarwent to the scene of the accident and took charge of the remains, bringing it to his undertakingestablishment at this place, whero it was prepared for burial and taken to resideuce of his daughter, Mrs. E. D. Mumford, at this place, to await burial, which took place yesterday afternoon, services being held in M. E. Church, being conducted by Rev. E. E. Milliner, assisted by Rev. O. S. Metzler. The services were largely attended by our citizens. The remarks by Rev. Mulliner touching upon the personalitj of the deceased were highly eulogistic of the life and character of the deceased. H. P. Spence came to this county about twenty years ago and purchased a farm on More Hill, then a barren waste. By hard work he carved out one of the best farms in the county. As a citizen and neighbor Mr. Spence had few equals. Kindness, to a fault, was one of his leading; traits, and no person,friend or ever received other than kind ness at his hands. It was his ami able disposition that drew and held his friends. A kind and indulgent hus band that he was will be sadly missed by his bereaved wife, children and brothers. He served in the war of the rebellion and was a member. of Lieut D. W. Taggart Post, G. A. 11., many members of that organization attend ing the funeral. The following relatives attended the funeral: Mr. O. P. SpeDce, Mr. W. S. Spence, Millstone, Pa.; B. L. Spence and wife, Mr. and Mrs. E. D. Mumford, (daughter,) Wade Spence, (son,) Em porium; William Stougliton, Dußois; Jas. Barr and wife, Butler, Pa. L W. another brother, who resides on More Hill, is in a very feaable condition and unable to be present at the funeral. The PRESS, as well as our citizens generally, extends their deepest sym pathy to the bereaved family. Rectors Exchange. Rev. J. M. Robertson, of Emmanuel Church, goes to Port Allegany next Sun day to officiate for Rev. G. E. Knoll meyer, who comes to Emporium for that day's services in Emmanuel Church. Identified. J. Brady who has been in jail at Wil liamsport,charged as being a member of the gang who sometime in Sept. enter ed the power house at Montoursville, where one of their number was killed by the engineer, has been identified by the Pinkerton detective agencies in Phila delphia and New York as a "hobo" burglar and "hold up," Home From the West. Joseph Kaye arrived in Emporium on Tuesday from Westboro, Wis., ac companied by his daughter Mrs. J. W. Noric, who was visiting her parents in the west. Mr. Kaye is looking exceed ingly well, the "wild and woolly west" evidently agrees with him. His stay hero will be for a few days only and he is kept very busy shaking hands and looking after business interests. A Splendid Paper.

Conners, meaning to make it the i best Sunday newspaper that money and | brains can produce.

In the statistical report above the kindergarten is included in the total enrollement but not in average attendance. Including the Kiuder garten, the total average attendance would be about 585, which still indicates an absence of 7o pupils each day on nn average. This number i s so large that we are anxious to have it rapidly diminished. We think that interest in the wel fare of their children should prompt parents to see that they are not kept out for trivial reasons. The law recognizes only imperative reasons such as illness as a proper excuse for absence. To keep children out of school for work is a viola tion of the law. A call will be issued this week by the president of last year's organization for a renewal of the mothers'meeting. We would be pleased to see a large attendance at this meeting. Various im portant matters will be presented in which the assistance of this body is desired. E. S. LING, Principal. DEATH'S DOINGS. LfiSftSS BARR.

J., have issued cards announcing the marriage of their niece, Margaret McKinney Bardwell (formerly of Emporium) to Mr. George McCurdy, on Nov. 11th. The rhiladelphia Ledger says: "At the summer residence of the bride's uncle, William L. Tiffany, at Lumber ton N. J., yesterday, George McCurdy, President of Common Council, and Mrs. Margaret McKinney Bardwell were quietly married by Rev. I Mench Chambers, of the First Presbyterian j Church. The wedding came as a great surprise to Mr. McCurdy's friends in I this city. Owing to the recent death of the bridegroom's mother, the wetl i ding was extremely quiet. After the | ceremony Mr. and Mrs. McCurdy went i to At lantic City on their wedding tour. ! As Councils meet a week from to i morrow, Mr. McCurdy will then have j to be in Philadelphia, and his friends I in the Tenth Ward and at City Hall are planning a warm welcome for him."

TERMS: $2.00 —$1.50 IN ADVANCE WEATHER REPORT. (Forecast by |T. B. Lloyd.) FRIDAY, Showers. SATURDAY Showers. SUNDAY, Pair. How the Northern States Voted. The official count of the vote cast last Tuesday has not as yet been declared in any State. Close esti mates of the majorities have, how ever, been given, and from these it is easy to show how the Northern States voted and how the majorities they gave compare with those re corded in 1898, the last previous mid-presidential year election. The Northern States fall natur ally into three sections, namely,the -Eastern, the Middle Western and the Far Western sections. The Eastern section includes the six New England States and New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania. The total majority these States gave last Tuesday as compared with the total majority they gave in IH9B is shown in the following: 1898. 1902. Rep. Dem. Rep. Dem. Eastern section. .320,000 . 270,000 6,500 Here is shown a Republican loss of about 5(5,500, most of which oc curred in Massachusetts and the remainder in Rhode Island and New York, ft is not a loss due to any serious defection from the party, but to local causes which can be easily remedied. Rhode Island will be recovered in a national election, and New York can be depended upon to give a good Republican ma jority in 1904. The Middle Western section in cludes Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Mich igan, Wisconsin, Minnesota and lowa, seven States. The total Re publican majority given in these States last week and compared with the total majority in the same States in 1898 are as follows: 1898. 1902. Rep. Dcru. Rep. Dem. Middle West. ...818,000 455,000 The Republicans carried every one of the States in this section in 1898 and again in 1902. The total majority this year, however, is much larger than it was four years ago. Every one of the seven States, Michigan alone excepted, gave a larger Republican majority than in 1898, and if the majority in Mich igan on the ticket below Governor were taken that State would show an increase also. In any event the total Republican majority in the Middle West this year is 1.37,000 larger than in 1898. The third, or Far Western, section of States includes all the States west of a line drawn north and south along the eastern bound ary of the Dakotas, Nebraska and Kansas and the Pacific Ocean. There are thirteen States in this section, and the total majorities given this year and four years ago are shown in the following:— 1898. 1902. Rep. Dem. Rep. Dem. Far West 61,350 69,050 139,000 2,000 Four years ago the Republicans carried six of the Far Western States and the Democrats seven, and the latter had a majority in the section of nearly 8000. But this year the Republicans carried twelve of these States and the Democrats one State, and the total Republican majority in the section is 137,000 instead of a Republican minority of nearly 8000. Summarizing the majorities given in these three sections, which in clude the whole North, and com paring them with the majorities given in the same States in 1898, and the following result appears:— 1898. 1902. Rep. Dem. Rep. Dem. Tot Pi North 699,000 69,C00 861,000 8,503 In 1898 the Republican majority in the Northern States was (>1)0,00*0 in round numbers. In 1902 the ma jority of same party in the North if -855,500 a Republican gain of 225,500. Four years ago the Democrats carried seven States in the North and the Republicans, twenty-two. This year Democrats carry only two Northern States and the Republicans carry twenty seven. These facts and figures are their own comment. —Philadelphia Press, Speaking of the death and downfall of a young girl, the Punxsutawney Spirit says:"Tho llrst step downward of a young person is taken under the. influ | ence of evil associates The shores of ! time are strewn with the wrecks of young lives—lives that might have been happy, lives that might have been an ( honor to some aged father and mother . j had it not been for the first evil step, a i step that possibly was considered as 'j having "no harm in it,"but whir li led j to the second, and then to the third and | no on down the scale to darkness and dishonor.
