For the past few weaks the people of this neighborhood have been greatly annoyed by chicken thieves, many fine fowls having been taken from dif ferent parties. No clue as to who the thieves were could be secured, until Saturday night, about 11 p. m., when Mr. John S. Jordan heard some sus picious noises in tlio direction of his chicken coop. He quickly sprang from his bed and ran out towards the coop, the culprits seeing Mr. Jordan coming dropped the bag containing the stolen fowls and took to the tall timber. However, Mr. Jordan had titu< "to rec ognize one of the parties in the person of one Harry Teats, a notorious char acter of this neighborhood. With him were two small boys about 12 years of age, who were acting under Teats, in structions. Mr. Jordan dressed quick ly and hurried to the home of Teats, arriving there some time in advance of him and concealing himself within hearing distance of the house. Teats arrived shortly afterward and Mr. Jor dan found who the entire party were. This led to further investigations and some chickens belonging to David Logue, and other residents, were found in Teats' hen park. Teats had been doing a land office business in Drift wood selling the stolen fowls to unsus pecting customers. It is understood that legal steps have been taken to punish this young man, who has only recently escaped the penitentary for attempted rape on a young girl in this neighborhood. It was only through the high respectability of his parents that the case was dropped. S. Huntley Pa., Oct. 3d. 1905. Ron Ron—Cameron, Down with the tiger, Vote for Swope, Lewis and Kreider. Teachers' Institute. The 39th annual session of the Cam eron county Teachers Institute will be held in Emporium Oct 30th to Nov. 3rd. This promises to be one of the most instructive and entertaining in stitutes in the history ol the county. The very best talent available has been secured for both the day and evening sessions. The day instructors have had long and successful exper ience in every phrase of school work. The evening entertainments offer raro oppportunity to the people of Cameron county to hear talent of an exceptionally high order. Monday evening, Anna Delany Martin will give a presentation of "Parsifal" with Wagner's music and exquisite moving pictures. Tuesday evening, Elizabeth Garghill Beecher, who is considered by many the finest interpretive reader in the United States will give a recital. Wednesday evening, Rev. Frank Dixon, the youngest of the famous group of preacher orators, will lecture on the subject, "The Man Against the Mass." Thursday evening the Apollo Glen and Ministrel Club, the musical novelty of the season, will close the series with their unique entertainment. Special Low Rates. To all points in Montana. Idaho, Washington, Oregon and British Columbia, September 15th to October 31st, 1905. Round Trip Homeseekers, Tickets on special days. Write at once for information and maps to W. H.

Whereever the name of Colhane, Chase and Weston is known, it stands as a synonym for honest advertising and promises faithfully fulfilled. Mak ing no extravagant claims or false promises, rather contenting themselves with giving the best possible perform ance and letting that be their chief ad vertising factor, they now have at the end of their eighth successful season, a reputation that is virtually an absolute guarantee as to the fine quality of the attraction. This organization is cer tainly not to be classed with some of the "fly by night" companies that one sometimes soes. On the contrary, the Culhane, Chaco and Weston Minstrels rests on a firm financial foundation, having a home office at 1388 Broadway, New York City, from where the affairs of the company are directed in a con servative and strictly business-like manner so essential to the success of any enterprise, either theatrical or commercial, thereby giving the amuse ment loving public the best possible entertainment at the lowest possible price. The splendid ministrel organi zation will be the attraction at the Opera House next Friday evening, Oct. Hth, and all indications point to an eveniug's eulorUuuiueiii replete with the best of all that modern uiinistrelsoy affords and certainly well worth going to s»ie.

We left Ridg way on Tuesday, stopping at Warren to purchase through tickets. We caught the Lake Shore Express at Erie, arriving at Chicago 7:30 a. m., where we had to wait until 7:30 p. m., Wednes day, 20th. We arrived at St. Paul 7:20 a. m., leaving there the next morning on the Northern Pacific limited ex press, for a long and tidious ride of two days and two nights. We landed in Spokane Saturday. "How do you like the town"? Well, if you go out on the outshirts of the city, away from its business centre, it is very rocky and unever, yet there are many handsome homes, beautiful lawns and parks right on the rough and rocky ridges. Then there are basins down in between these rocky ridges, with black rich soil, not a stone in the soil, with gardens of the finest vegetables I ever saw. In the business centre, at night, when lighted by electric lights, it is one of the pret tiest sights I ever beheld in any city in the east. Connected by trolley lines with all the neighboring towns, makes it one of the busiest cities of the west. I like the city better than I expected to. It has been cool since we came here. It rained yesterday and I am told that the rainy season begins in October and lasts about two weeks. If this is all, we can stand that. I will close for this time. A. CHAPMAN, Spokane, Wash., Sept. 26th, 1905. P. S.—Our present address:—NO. 245 Sprague Ave. Coes to Ridgway. Rev. R. A. Robertson, who for three years has been pastor of the Free Methodist congregation at this place, goes to Ridgway, while Rev. J. Nelson Bennett, of Garry, N. Y., comes to Emporium. Rev. Robertson leaves Emporium with the good will of our citizens, regardless of croed. A con scientious hard working cliristian, true to his calling, at the same time a liberal minded and companionable gentleman he held a close place in the hearts of our people. Cur Ridgway friends can tie to Brother Robertson and their town will be benefitted by having him with them. Eye Specialist. Prof. W. 11. Budine, the well known Eye Specialist, of Blfighamton, N. Y., will be at R. H. Hirsch's jewelry store, Emporium, Pa., October 14th. If you can't see well or have headache don't fail to call and see Prof. Budine, as he guarantees to cure all such cases. Lenses ground and fitted in old frames. Eyes tested and ex amined free. All work guaranteed. Enforce the Laws. William Wykoff, of Cameron, called to see the PRESS on Saturday and pushed the date on his paper ahead two years. Mr. Wykoff likes to hunt and fish occasionally therefore desires that the fish and game laws be enforc ed. Alreadj we hear of depredations, in some instances we believe the State authorities have been informed. A few good stiff fines will put a stop to the "bird and fish hog." Another Tailoring Establishment. J. B. Bedard, the St. Marys Tailor, who has an extensive patronage in this county, has rented the store room next door to Johnson & McNarney's law office and placed the same in charge of H. E. Shaffer, an experienced work man. Mr. Bedard will give the busi ness his attention part of eack week. Ludlam's Fall Opening. The Misses Ludlam has moved into their new store room in Mrs. Rock well's new block and will give their first Opening of Early Fall styles on Friday and Saturday of this week. See their adv. in this issue. Card of Thanks. We wish to express our sincere thanks to the friends for there thought ful sympathy and generous assistance rendered during our late and sad be reaveinent of son and only child. MR. AND MRS. J. R.

GOODNOUGH, Secretary. Mud Slinger Commences. Boss Hockley has commenced his usual campaign lies and of course se lects the editor of the PRESS as the target. Fire away, Prof. Hia foolish talk in this week's Independent, charg ing us with being an agent for a bridge company is a lie, made out of whole cloth and we challenge the editor to produce the facts, if he can. At the same time will he inform a tax ridden community why several thousand dol lars should be expended at this particu lar time for a new bridge at Portage, when the present structure will accom modate the few teams passing over that road daily. Again iB it not a fact that some of the heaviest tax-payers have personally requested the Commission ers NOT to contract for a new bridge at that point, having reason to believe the Pennsylvania R. R. Co., contem plate vacating that portion of the road and building a new road east of their tracks. With taxes grinding the people why this needless bridge? Echo answers, WHY? Sanders—Hanes. MR. EDOAK J. SANDERS and Miss RUBY A. HANKS were married Tuesday evening at 8:80 o'clock at the home of the bride's brother-in-law and sister, Mr. and Mrs. Charles J. Auchu, on W. Fourth street, the Rev.

Iu festoons of autumn flowers and foliage the parlor was very attrac tive, the ceremony being performed l>efore an altar of autumn leaves and flowers. The guests included Mr. and Mrs. David C. Ilanes, father and moth er of the bride, Mr. and Mrs. J. I). Hanes, of Wharton; Mrs. Aht, of Johns town and Mr. and Mrs. Kdgar Henry and daughter May, of Emporium.

It is certainly an unusual treat to see a double starred attraction, but we are promised als<» on the same night not only a comic opera but a first class comedy and a high . lass operetta, enough to satisfy the most exacting.

Some boye had a lot of advertising matter in the shape of fl Green Backs, which at a distance looked quite natural. They stuck one in a crack in the side walk near the church, and when one of the gentlemen parsed, he saw it and pick it up, with a look east and west, north and south, he deposited it in his nanta loons pocket with a move that would have made the fly wheel to a carlest' engine blush.
