These will add 280 votes to the above number making a grand total of 730 votes, or 237 more than enough to nomi nate, pledged to President Roose velt more than a year in advance of the nominating convention. The clearing of the political situa tion, the asquiesauce of Senator Hanna to the inevitable, following the President's bold and character istic announcement that he who is not with me is against me, have all combined to constitute an incident I which is the occasion of the great est satisfaction to the President's friends as it has demonstrated his wide spread popularity beyond all questoin. The reluctance of shrewd democratic politicans to permit the use of their names as presidential possibilities is also re garded as a most encouraging sign, as it clearly indicates that the next democratic candidate will, in their j opinion, be but a vicarious sacrifice on the altar of democratic har limny* Representative John A.

EMPORIUM, PA., THURSDAY, JUNK 4,1903. 1 DEATH AND DESTRUCTION i ! Town of Gainesville Wrecked- hun dreds Killed. GAINESVILLE, GA., June 2.—The i town of 4,500 population was partially destroyed yesterday afternoon by a | tornado, which in two minutes time, killed 150 people, injured nearily 200 and wrecked over 100 houses and part ily wrecked two large cotton mills. Probably two-thirds of the dead are | womon and children, who were opcra- I tives in the cotton mills. The death list includes only about six negroes. The storm came from the south out, j of almost a clear sky, swooping down 1 on the Gainesville cotton mills near j the Southern railroad station at 12:45 | p. m. With a terrible crash the two upper stories of the cotton mill were swept away, leaving 100 operatives dead. The cyclone then swept around the out shirts of the city, to the suburb of New Holland, two miles away, where are located the Pacolet cotton mills, one of the largest institutions of this character in the south. The plant of the Pacolet company was not seriously damaged, but probably 100 cottages standing nearby occupied by opera tives who are employed in the mills, were completey demolished, killing 50 people. They are mostly women and children, as the heads of families were nearly all in the factory at work. The store of Joseph Logan near the Gaines ville cotton mills, was crushed to ruins by the wind and eight men who had taken refuge in it were instantly killed. Reports from White Sulphur, seven mills from Gainesville, are to the effect that the storm struck there with ter rific force, killing a dozen people. This however, is not absolutely con firmed. He Won his Laurels. | Last Sunday morning "Sammy" started out for the hills iu quest of some of the raro and beautiful laurel flowers, which he had promised to send to some of his western friends. He crossed Broad street bridge and began the ascent of the hill and was soon lost in the deep thought of the thanks his friends would bestow upon him for his kindness. In this state of mind he wandered over the hill and down a ravine on the other side, before he once thought of looking for the flow ers. He finally found a clump of them ! and at once proceeded to gather the whole crop and collected them into one huge pile and then sat down on an old log to mop the honest sweat from his brow and view with satisfaction the fruits of his labor. He coul.l hear j the tolling church bells sounding faint ' ly o'er the hill, and the birds sang j gaily around him but he heeded them | not. His view of the land-scape had | changed to a vision of his boyhood ! days, when he was a farmer lad and ! hunted the cows in the woodland, i He remembered how he was wont to j go barefooted and stooping down he j removed his shoes, and this made the ! scene complete. Suddenly he remem bered that some delicious strawberries were promised him for dinner and he arose and gathered in his arms all the flowers he could carry. His home | ward journey was uneventful, except when he struck one of his toes on a stone and he was seen coming down the road with a shoe in each coat pocket and his head poised high in the air, iu order that he might sec over his load of flowers. Being the first lau rels he ever won, he naturally feels very proud of them, and will go often if the weather permits. DEATH'S 1)01 N US. THAYER. 1 Mits.

Burkle, who has for some time been manager of the Climax Powder Company, at this place, depart ed on Sunday for Pittsburg where she will reside. Miss BurUle is a thorough business lady and conducted the affairs of this extensive industry with marked ability. The passing of the Climax to the Trust was the cause of the change in manager at this place.

Mac Do nald's liquor store and "cracked" the safe, using dynamite with which to blow off the door. About $25 in money together with several checks, in all amounting to about SIOO, were taken. Part of the checks are useless and payment has been stopped on the balance. The cracksmen were evi dently professionals and made a com plete job of their work. Mr. Baxter, night clerk at the War j ner House, heard the report about ] three o'clock, but could not locate the place or see anything to indicate i "what was doing.' The John Robinson Shows. , The acme of soanic spandor was reached when John Robinson produced the great spectacle of Solomon. His temple and the Queen of Sheba. No court wa3 greater in all that per i tained to magnificence than Solomon's, j and as historically reproduced with dozens of calcium and vari-colored ! lights on the brilliant costumes and scintillating armor, it has received un i stinted praise from all who have been fortunate enough to witness the grand spectacle. The circus has been characterized as the most interesting in its unexception al features and in the general excell ence of its ring performances. The menagerie is large and comprehensive and includes living specimens of the rarest beasts, birds, reptiles and am* phibi. The colossal Roman Hippodrome is in itself a feature that has no duplica tion and carries the spectator back to imperial Cawar's day. The show will exhibit at Emporium, June 16th.

Smallpox Case. Yesterday morning th? Borough authorities were notified that a sick j man, a stranger, was lying near the ■ iron bridge west of the borough line, ! evidently a case of smallpox Drs. \ Heilman, Bard well and Smith were called, who agreed it was a genuine case. Dr. Bard well, representing the State Board of Health, advised that he be removed to the hill south of town and a nurse be secured Burgess Howard, H. C. Olmsted, Henry Auetau andChas. Felt proeurrd a tent and caused the sick man to be removed. He is a stranger here and claims he came hero looking for work. There is no danger of the disease spreading if our citizens keep on this side of the stream. Boys should be cautioned by their parents. George Nickerson, of Shippen, was engaged to nurse the poor unfortunate and took charge last evening Ho has had experience,having passed through the ordeal himself. Since the above was placed in type we learn that the man's name is Lewis McGowen and that he came from Pine Grove, Elk county, where he was quar antined in a lumber camp. He origi nally resided in Cattaraugus county, N. Y., where a sister now lives. Work of the Mothers' Meeting. The members of the Mothers' Club take pleasure in announcing that their efforts to assist the High School Libra ry, by placing therein a new encyclo pedia have been finally accomplished. A set of the Britanica in thirty-one volumes, bound in half-morocco and costing $65 was purchased recently and putin place and will be ready for use when school re-opens. This work was begun by the mothers at the beginning of their meetings in November, as they desired to help the schools in a material way, and this particular ob ject seemed to present the most urgent appeal. The money was raised partly by contributions from the pupils, which amounted to nearly |25. The remainder was raised among the mothers themselves. Next year the organization will be completed at an earlier date, it is hop ed. and the members expect to accom plish equally good results. BLANCHE HYDE MOORE, Sec'y. A Gentlemanly Agent. Mr. L. H. Heckman, press agent of John Robinson's show, so popular with our people, was a pleasaut con- I tractor at this office last Monday.

This will be a fine improvement. The smallpox patient who escaped from the Emporium pest house and it is supposed burned the house went to Bolivar, N. Y., where he was placed in a pest house. He cut up the same caper, there burned the house. A storm which prevailed in Spring field, 111., the other day blew down the famous elm planted by President Lin coln the day after his first election to the presidency. It stood in front of the old Lincoln homestead and a part of the roof of the old house was caved in by the fall of the tree. Every time President Lincoln came to Springfield he went to the old home and surveyed the growth of his elm. Little Majorie, the six-year olddaugh ter of United States Marshall Leonard, was severely injured last evening by being run down by a delivery wagon, in charge of a young man. She was crossing the street in the vicinity of her home, Second above Herr, and the wagon turned a corner quickly and knocked her down, the wheels passed over her right arm and side and her left hand, making painful injuries but not serious. She is confined to her bed.—Harrisburg Telegraph. Four men are either dead or dying in atown near Memphis on account of newspaper abuse that was taken ser iously. The editors and citizens con cerned would both be in business yet had they been wiser. The irresponsi - ble editors who delight in a abuse should be treated as are the screaming monkies in tropical forests,to whom no one pays any attention. To be ignored iss the worst punishment that can be inflicted upon the monkey class of edi tors,and that method is more effective and satisfactory than the use of lire arms or courts.—Ex. Philadelphia Press; Chairman Hall, | of the Democratic State Committee, is | quoted us favoring Senator Dewalt, of i Lehigh, for Auditor General "because j he not only voted against the press J muzzier but made a strong speech in j opposition to it." Aud while Senator I Dewalt was doing this Senator Hall, j the Democratic chairman, was sitting ! in hi 9 chair doing nothing—not even I recording his vote against the muzzle. To continue Senator Hall at the head of i the Democratic organization, and make | a campaign against the muzzle would be a boisterous joke. 1 An expert on bugs estimates mat j they coßt the people of the United j States, in crops destroyed and for meas I ures for their destruction, about $208,- 000,000 a year. Of this, the potato bug j is responsible for a loss of sß,ooo,ooo, the i Hessian fly lor $.*>0,000,000, the cinch bug for $10,000,0C0, the grasshopper for J $90,000,000 and the bugs that devour J Southern products for $(>0,000,000. It is evident that our humble neighbors, are very expensive boarders and if we> did not help a good many of them out of this world of trouble we should have ; to go ourselves very shortly. A little more Paris green might be profitable as an investment for our farmers. The Candy kitchen Club Of the Presbyterian church will serve ice cream soda, and ice cream and cake, all in a thoroughly first class manner at the soda si and of L.
