THE CHAMPION
MIXED PAINT
Sold by L. TAGCART has no
superior.
Fourteen years ago I painted my
house with these painte and am now,
for the first time since, repainting it.
H. L. Smith, the painter, says he never
knew of a house in better condition
for painting after having stood so long.
A gentleman, whose name 1 will not
mention, living in our town, painted
his house thirteen years ago, with
these paints and he has engaged some
paints to repaint, saying that he would
have no other.
Dr. Heilman will also testify as to
the merits of these paints. County jail
painted four years ago. John Lind's
two houses painted two years ago and
many others, alljspeak for the virtue
and staying qualities of these paints,
and is better evidence than any man's
word. Look at them; then buy the
Champion paints and paint your house
and be happy.
Also paper your house with the ele
gant w.vll paper at Taggart's and be
doubly happy.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
(iVom our Regular Oorreipondent.)
Washington, May 23, 1903.
Editor Pre»»:—
Will President Roosevelt be en
dorsed by the Ohio state convention
for the nomination of 1904? is the
question Washington politicana are
discussing with unusual interest.
Senator Foraker has announced
that he will introduce in the con
vention a resolution to that effect
and Senator Hanna has announced
that he will oppose it. Mr. Hanna
says that it is too early to adopt a
lesolution concerning the next
national convention and that a
mere expression of approval of the
present administration would be
the proper method of endorsing the
President. The recommendation
of his nomination for President he
maintains can be properly deferred
to next year and he adds that such
would be the President's pleasure.
Present indications are, however,
that regardless of the wishes of
Mr. Hanna and those he attributes
to the-President the resolution will
be adopted. If it is, it will be a
severe blow to Mr. Hanna's in
fluence in Ohio and will be the first
victory of importance in the con
test which Mr. Foraker has long
maintained against his colleague in
the Senate.
That the President will be nomi
nated and elected is the firm con
viction of every republican in
Washington and of those who,
from time to time, pass through the
city. What Senator Hanna's ob
jection to the proposed resolution
can be is not known but there are
two conjectures set forth. One i*
to the effect that Mr. Hanna has
not yet determined that he will not
himself become a candidate. The
other is that he believes that he
will be able to exercise a greater in
fluence at the White House if Ohio
has not committed itself to the
nomination of Mr. Roosevelt. The
first of these Mr. Hanna firmly
denies but it is not likely that any
one will have the temerity to ques
tion him regarding the second.
There are indications that Preai
j dent Baer, of coal strike notoriety,
| has gotten himself into serious
| difficulties by refusing to produce,
j at the recent hearing ol' the Inter
j state Commerce Commission, the
j contracts made between the rail
j road of which lie i.> president and
i the ostensible owners of the coal
mines. It was .alleged before the
commission that there existed con
! tracts between all the anthracite
; coal mine owing railroads fixing
j prices for coal and its transporta
tion and Mr. Ilaer was questioned
ion the subject but positively de
| dined to answer quest ions or to
I produce the suppositious contracts.
! The Interstate Commerce Connnis
| sion immediately appealed to the
j Attorney General to the courts for
I a niamlaitious compelling the pro
| duction of the contracts answering
|of the questions propounded. The
j Attorney General promptly re
! spondee! and the necessary order
I for a suit has been issued.
The prosecution of an interesting
• case has just been undertaken by
the State Department which in
volves a claim of sf»,o<>o,ooo against
(treat Hritain for damage acruing
from tiie unwarranted and illegal
action of President Kruger of the
Boor Republic. It appears that
one Charles Brown an \inerican
mining engineer, acquired certain
I milling lands in the Transvaal by
I squatter proceedings. 11 is claim
: was adjudicated by tin* Boer courts
and pronounced valid but Preai-
I dent Kruger ordered the decision
i of the courts reversed and on the
j refusal of the Chief Justice to ••out
ply with his instructions, Krugar
j deposed him without legal preced
ing* and vni'«t«l tiie tit If. Brown
appealed to tin* State I *ej»artiiiHiit
and the case was taken up but was
.Mi»|t«*mled by tin* Boer war. Now
it is taken tipagain ag;»iu*t Great
Brit tan and that entiiitrx ha* enter
tat net I the claim war- ordered a full
report on the ease from South
\friea.

EMPORIUM, PA.. THURSDAY. MAY 28,190.3.
Long Ride.
A Party of four men from Philadel
phia who left that city about the middle
of this month passed through Empori
um last Sunday in a locomobile enroute
for Buffalo. The machine weighs
about 2400 pounds and is a comfortable
thing to ride in.
Cannot Buy Rum.
Burgess Pennypacker, of West
Chester is about to adopt a novel
scheme to suppress drunkenness on
the streets of that city. He will pre
sent a list of names of habitual drunk
ard's to all saloon keepers and forbid
them to sell to those men because of
their known Intemperate habits.
Dr. Wilcox Will Preach.
The Rev. Thos. S. Wilcox, D. D., re
cently appointed Prasiding Elder of
Williamsport District of the Central Pa.,
Conference will occupy the pulpit of
the First Methodist Episcopal Church
next Sunday evening and hold the
First Quarterly Conference, Monday
evening, June Ist, at 8 o'clock.
Big Catch.
A parti' of trout fisherman left last
Saturday a week for a camp out of
several days along the streams of Mc-
Kean county,composed of the following
gentlemen, accompanied by their
wives: H. O. Haupt, Orion Barnes and
Jas. G. Earl. The outing was most
successful the party catching between
800 and 1,000 trout.
Hand Injured.
Last Thursday afternoon while Dan'l
Shugart was at work setting up stoves
for Murry & Coppersmith Co., he re
ceived a severe injury of the left hand.
He was putting a nickle plate on a
stove when his screw driver slipped
off, penetrating the palm of the leltf
hand. He has been laid up since but
hopes to soon be able to resume work.
A Question for the Ministers.
Two young ladies were recently dis
cussing whether or not a minister had
to kiss all the bridesmaids at a wed
ding. The younger expressed surprise
that he should "Have to put his arm
around each and kiss her." The elder
replied that it was no*; necessary for
him to put his arm around them, but
that it was "better so" and more
"artistic." We think so to, and know
ing the young lady would prefer to
use both arms and have the music very
slow.
Regal Shoes Coming to Town.
The manufacturers of the celebrated
Regal Shoe, have adopted a novel
method of supplying Regals to those
who live away from the big cities in
which their stores are located. The
plan is as simple as it is effective. A
Regal representative is traveling
through the country, stopping for a day
in each important town or city He
carries with him a complete line of
Regal Shoes and takes orders for what
tho shoe wearers want, thus giving
them the opportunity of selecting from
the newest styles the shoes that Ot them
perfectly. The Regal man will be at
the Warner House, Emporium, June
2d, 1903.
Veteran's (irave.
When the graves of the soldiers who
are sleeping in the old cemetery at
Dunnestown are desorated with flowers
this year on Memorial day, tho grave
of Brewster Freeman, soldier of the
revolutionary war will be covered with
flowers for the first time. Freeman,
while crossing the river here in Decem
ber, 1823 broke through tho ice although
he was not drowned he was in tiie
water so long before he was rescued
thai he died within a half hour after.
It was only recently that W. J. Smith,
who has charge of the cemetery was
able to ascertain the exact location of
the grave. This has been done to the
satisfaction of relatives of Freeman
who reside at Emporium, and the grave
will be decorated this year for the first
time on Memoral dav Loch Haven
Epxress.
A Delightful Birthday Party.
List Thursday b>»ing the birthday of
Miss Verena May Hertig, a number of
her friends planned a *urpri*e party
for her. It was a complete success,
every detiil being carrie I out without
a miss, by MIX of the loveliest Mioses in
the town, one of whom entertain* I
Minn Hertig until eveniug and when
Mhe returned home ahe found them all
there and everything in readiness. Of
cour*e she wasn't surprised not after
she hod caught her breath and could
»pe.tk Sit fortunate boys made in
thin cane a lucky thirteen The even
ing was made plua*ant with game*,
in inic and good things to eat and each
went home wixhing Mi** Hertig or one
ot the other girt* e mid have an eigh
teenth birthday every week,
No Smallpox Patient.
I Considerable excitement was caused
on Monday when the news that a man
with the small pox had been put off a
freight train at the Junction was an
nounced and that he was at large in
the borough. The authorities at once
began an investigation and the man
was located at the office of Dr. S. S.
Smith. The house that was reserved
by our borough council was properly
fitted up and the man taken there,
which place he occupied until about
8:30 o'clock. At this hour the fire
alarm was sounded and our people
were astonished to find that the "pest
house"was on fire and nearly consum
ed. Some men went to the scene
where they found the man lying on a
cot enjoying asmoke, having removed
about all the contents when he seen
the fire could not be extinguished.
The man said the fire caught from the
sto e pipe at the roof.
This unfortunate circumstance caus
ed siiil more trouble for our authori
ties, who again had to make prepara
tions to provide shelter for tne unfor
tunate victim, and at once made a
search and secured a tent of conven
ient size, and it was soon put on the
ground, only to fiud that the patient
who was the cause of all this bother,
had quietly skipped. We have not
heard any one say that they were sor
ry that he did not stay among us
longer. The doctors say there is no
danger of the dreaded disease as the
patient had not yet arrived at danger
ous stage. We sincerely hope this is
correct.
The man was an employe of the
P. & E. railroad company, running be
tween Renovo and Kane and was on
his way to Renovo when taken sick.
The railroad officials being informed
of the cause of his sickness, sent word
to put him off, consequently quarter*
had to be prepared for him.
In the meantime a man was sent for
to take care of the victim and arrived
some time after mid-night, but his ser
vices were not needed. Had the sub
ject- loft in the afternoon the borough
would have been some money in
pocket.
A Bevy of Charming Lassies.
The PRESS sanctum was invaded last
Friday by a company of young ladies
representing the Christian Endeavor
of Presbyterian Chnrch of this place, a
noble band of charming young ladies
who are engaged in the laudable un
dertaking of assisting in the erection
of the new church. This band of
handsome and not-afraid-to-work-las
-1 sies, Miss Carolyn McQuay, Margaret
i Montgomery, Verena Hertig, Grace
■ Metzger and Belle Hasted, will every
Saturday afternoon offer for sale at
Taggarts drug store, delicious home
! made candy, comprising all the sweets.
■ In addition they will serve soda and
ice cream—Mr. Taggart having gener
ously donated the use of his fountain
each Saturday afternoon. Very gen
erally, in all Emporium churches the
young ladies are hard workers and de
serve credit. The ladies above men
j tioned remembered the editor with a
| quantity of their delicious candies.
Hemorial Day Sermon.
The annual sermon to the local rep
resentatives of the Grand Army of the
j Republic was preached last Sunday
] evening in the First Methodist Epis
-1 copal church by the Rav. J. M. Robert
son, Rector of Emmanuel Protestant
Episcopal Church and was charaeteriz
led by ability appropriatness and a
lofty spirit ot patriotism. The mem
i bersofthe G. A. R., twelve in number,
j aud the ladies of the Relief Corps at
tended in a body.
These services became morer and
more pathetic with the passing years,
' the thinning ranks pointing a lesson
whose meaning none can mistake. The
singing by the combined choirs was
beauitful and impressive.
Big Circus Coming.
The advance agent for John Robin
son's circus was in town on Monday
making arrangements to exhibit here
on June ltith. This show, which is one
of the largest on the road, wan here
about two yearn ago and gave general
satisfaction. Their daily supplies in
; eludes 6,000 pounds of hay, 3,000
pjuudi of Htraw, 125 bushels of oats,
3VJloavea of bread, 20 gallons of milk
and 1,200 pounds of meat.

not fully known.
The boys had good luck spearing up
West Creek Monday night. They took
"Jimmie" along to carry the oil can, it
being something he couldn't eat. He
tumbled over tho bank, rolling into the

will tag along and get into mischief.
Editor Layman, of Port Allegany
Reporter, very truthfully says: It is
always best to wait for the evidence
before passing judgment. When we
hear reports detrimental to young
ladies or gentlemen, it is better to be
charitable. To-day it is somebody
else's girl or boy. To-morrow it may
be ours.
Hon. J. C. Sibley established a new
automobile record for this section of
the country the other day, when he
took a party from this city to Cam
bridge Springs in two hours, a distance
of 44 miles. This is a little better time
than one could make on the railroad.
—Vanango Press.
An exchange says a new bunco
game is being worked on unwary mer
chants throughout the country. A
man enters the store, shows a Govern
ment badge and states that he is in the
secret service and on the lookout for
i counterfeit money. He looks over the
'drawer and invariably finds four or
fivt) "counterfeit" dollars which he
confiscates. The whole thing is a
fraud.

J The East Ward fishing party has re-
I turned with a wonderful tale of fish
caught and eaten, all but the tails which

I are feeding their friends. Eight hun

glares enable them to count double,

, still they had ample time to darn socks
, and flirt with the passing trains. But
we know it is all true, for the story was
carefully rehearsed and they can show

Hurrah for the American girl!

She can play, too, as heartly as she
works. She is beautiful, well dressed,
