DEATH'S DOINGS.
CAVANAUGH.
MICHAEL CAVANAUGH, Sr., aged 76 j
years, passed away last Sunday even- |
ing, after a long and serious illness,
covering a period of ten years. De- j
ceased leaves a family of ten children, :
all grown to womanhood and man- j
hood, viz: Mrs. Mary Kahley, John- i
sonburg; Frank and Michael, at home;
John, residing on Clear Creek, Thos.
at St. Marys, Malcahi and Andrew, in
business at Pittsburg; Mrs. Maggie
Trebswetlier, at home; Mrs. Nellie
Robinson, St. Marys; James, who re
sides in Oregon; also one brother,
Thomas, who resides at Williamsport,
but too feeble to attend the funeral.
All of the children were present at the
funeral, except James, who resides too
far from Emporium to make the
journey in time for the funeral.
Deceased has resided in Emporium
about forty years, working most of
that time for Pennsy, R. R.. until ill
ness compelled him to take to his bed.
The funeral was held at St. Mark's
church yesterday morning and was
largely attended. This makes the
third death in this family within a few
years—first the mother, then a brother
and now father.
Judge Green Officially Busy.
Judge B. W. Green is attending
strictly to his duties as president Judge
of this judicial district, holding argu
ment court in all three counties, there
by catching up with the work long
delayed by the illness of the late Judge
Mayer. Judge Green held court at
Lock Haven last Thursday and Friday
and disposed of a large list of causes.
A regular term will be held at Lock
Haven for two weeks, last week in
Sept. and first week in Oct. Court
will be held at Ridpway second week
in Oct., followed by one week at Em- j
porium, commencing Monday, Oct. 22.
We hear only praise of Judge Green
wherever he has held court, his court
eous and impartial rulings having
given general satisfaction. All over
this district the sentiment in favor of
Judge Green's election upon a, non
political ticket is rapidly forging to the
front and hundreds of democrats will
champion his election. The people
know what they want and will have it.
Pleasant Home Wedding.
A pleasant home wedding took place
at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. A.
Weißentiu, West Sixth street, Monday
at high noon, the contracting parties
being Miss Lena Weisenfiu and Mr.
Geo. Neidlinger, of Ridgway, formerly
of Emporium, Rev. Mr. Calvin, pastor
of First Baptist Church. The bride was
becomingly gowned in silk organdie,
while the groom wore the conventional
black dress suit. The wedding guests
were confined strictly to the family
and relatives, with the exception of
Mrs M. A. Rockwell, a dear friend o
the bride. After hearty congratula
tions, an elegant dinner was served,
after which the bridal party departed
on 4:20 Flyer for Ridgway, their future
home. The bride and groom were
recipients of numerous handsome and
useful presents, tokens of esteem from |
their very many friends. The PRKSS, i
as well as all who know them, join in I
congratulations and cordially recotu- i
mend them to the good people of j
Ridgway.
New Proprietor.
Robert D. Graham has taken posses- j
sion of the New Valley House, at Caiu- j
eron, having purchased the furniture ,
and rented this well known house. \
The property will be improved and
titted up in first-class styJe. Robt. has
many friends, in this county, who will t
remember him when in Cameron.
Big Contract.
The Oalder Brick works has been
awarded a large contract by the city
of Lock Haven. The reputation of the
Calder brick is daily increasing and
orders, big ones at that, are pouring
ic. Supt. Walker is a Captain and
pushes along the work. We under
stand the capacity of (hep ant will be
doubled. Good for Oalder.
Furnished Rooms.
Five or six furnished rooms to rent,
with bath. Suitable for light house
keeping. Apply at PRESS office, by
etter only, addressed to "Rooms." J
Thank Them Personally.
A exchange very truthfully remarks:
Editors would be the last men on earth
to knowlingly hurt the feelings of their
subscribers or citizens, especially at a
time when the dark winged messenger
of deatb lias brought sorrow to the
home, but it is from the best of mo
tives that attention is called to the cus
tom of publishing "cards of thanks."
It is a custom that has outgrown its
purpose, if it ever had" one. When
sickness and death come to your home
it is only natural that your friends and
neighbors should do what they could to
assist you. They would be heathens if
they did not. They know from the ex
pression of your face that you are
thankful and deeply appreciate all they
do, and it is not necessary to rush into
print and tell the world that your
neighbors were kind when you were in
trouble The reading public has be
come tired of the old stereotyped "card
of thanks." You can express to your
friends by a look or word of thankful
ness in a more impressive manner than
you can in a column of cold type.
Bought Nice Home Here.
Charles Butler lias purchased the
Tom Catlin bouse on Harrrison street
and will move his family here from
Emporium at once and will occupy the
new home. Mr. Butler bought this
property for a thousand dollars, the
best real estate bargain made in Port
Allegany in a long time. It is in a
good location, cheap insurance and
very desirable in every way. The Re
porter unites with others in welcom
ing Mr. Butler and family to Port
Allegany.—Port Allegany Reporter.
Well may our Port Allegany friends
welcome this excellent family to their
town. Words cannot express the re
gret of the PRESS and hundreds of
Cameron county friends over liieir
departure. They were held in the
highest esteem in Emporium and will
be gre-itly missed.
Base Ball.
The game between Emporium and
St. Marys nines at Keystone i'ark iast
Saturday was won by Emporium by a
score of Bto 7. Outside of one bad in
ning for each team the game would
pass creditably.
On Tuesday the home team met its
old rival Renovo and put up one of
the exhibitions of base ball ever
witnessed on the home grounds. Hem
phill and Overturf were the battery for
Emporium and played good ball
Hemphill struck out ten men and had
but a lew scattered hits and with good
support the game would have been
close. Fisher, ia left field, played a
star game for the home team. Some of
the boys were up in the air for fair.
Score 13 to 1.

"Liberty and Union, One and Inseparable."—WEßSTEß.
EMPORIUM, PA., THURSDAY, JULY 26, 1906.
EDITORIAL COMMENT.
The nomination of Captain Barclay,
of Cameron county, for congress in the
Twenty-First district will add strength
to the Republican ticket in that county.
Little Cameron is at the front this year,
with a president judge on the bench of
the Twenty fifth Judicial district and a
congressional nominee our neighbor
ing county naturally feels a little
proud. Judge Green and Congress
man-to be Barclay are men of high
character and are an honor to any
county.—Lock Haven Republican.
Captain Barclay is perhaps freer of
personal animosities that any other
man in Cameron county that has had
anything to do with public affairs.- He
went there directly after the war, in
which he made the record of a true pa
triot;has lived there ever since, making
his homo at Sinnumahoning. He has
always been actively interested in local
affairs, but not an office seeker. His
county never before had a district
nomination and when the present con
gressional appointment was made his
neighbors put him forward as a candi
date. Four years ago his county con
ceded, as did the others, the claim of
Mr. Dresser to the second term. This
year the Republicans of his county
came forward and asked for the nomi
nation on grounds that made their posi
tion strong. They offered a man of
splendid personal qualifications, one of
exceptionally clean and consistent
politics and enjoying the highest per
sonal regard of all who knew anything
about him—Dtißois Courier.
*
* *
Captain Barclay, is a clean, intelli
gent business man, a Bucktail soldier
of prominence and will command a
large lollowing in the whole district.
While we complain of the treatment
we received Capt. Barclay is in no wise
to blame and the Journal pledges its
best offices to secure his election to
congress.—Clearfield Journal.
*
* *
Capt. C. F. Barclay, of Cameron
county, who was nominated at Dußois
last Thursday by the Republican party
for member of Congress from this dis
driet, is a man whom evehy Repulican
in this district can conscientously give
their most hearty support. He is a
veteran of the Civil War and a inan
who is popular with all who know him.
He has always been a staunch Repub
lican and is an ardent admirer of Presi
dent Roosevelt and his noble policies.
He is a man of recognized ability and is
fully capable of representing this dis
trict in Congress. Capt. Barclay is one
of those men who makes friends where
ever he becomes acquainted aud as he
will make a canvass of the entire dis
trict it is safe to assume that he will be
elected by a large majority.—Smeth
port Miner.
As Capt. Barclay was reared in Cou
derspbrt and enlisted in this county for
the war, in which he made an excellent
record and won rapid promotion, it is
gratifying to the Journal to note the
honor bestowed upon him by the Re
publicans of his district.
Fully informed on all the important
issues of the times, an eminently suc
cessful business man, and a man in full
accord with the essential principles of
Republicanism, yet independent of boss
rule and intolerant of turpitude in pri
vate or public life, Mr. Barclay should
make an ideal representative of the
people in the national legislature. His
election is practically assured from the
start.—Potter Journal.
* *
*
Those who are acquainted with Cap
tain Barclay speak of him in the high
est terms as a man.—Smethport Demo
crat.
* *
•*
Mr Barclay is a man most favorably
known in his own county, known by
reputation hereabouts. He is a civil
war veteran .and won captaincy by
bravery on the field at Chancellorsville,
a member of the famous Bucktail com
pany. A lifelong republican in a
staunch republican district, he will go
in by one of the biggest majorities ever
accorded a nominee in the district.—
Port Allegany Reporter.
* *
They (Cameron) offered a man of
splendid personal qualifications; one
of exceptionally clean and consistent
politics and enjoying the highest per
sonal regard of all who knew anything
about him; and they could further
show that being without a district can
didate heretofore, they would also be
without hereafter, if it was not secured
this year, owing to the change in the
primary election law. These things
had weight with the conferees against
the claims of Clearfield and Centre,
and were not without the effect in
bringing about the result.—Bellefonte
Gazette.
The Review was the only paper in
the district to come anywhere near
predicting the possible winner. In
a March issue it presented the qualifi
cations of Capt. Barclay and stated
that he would be one of the best men
the district could nominate.
In its issue of Maj 30, the Review
came even nearer the mark. Editor
ially it said: "There is always some
uncertainty about the selection of a
congressional candidate, but we will
be very much surprised if the Repub
lican nomination doesn't hit pretty
close to that stalwart veteran and
clean cut citizen of Cameron county,
Capt. Barclay."
It is needless to state the Review is
for Barclay. In him it reconizes a
man who is fitted in every way to
represent the district creditably and
honorably, a man whose past record
has been clean and above reproach,
and whose ability is unqestioned. A
consistent Republican, a war veteran,
a succesful business man, and respec
ted by all with whom he mingles in a
business pr personal way, Capt. Bar
clay embodies the qualifications that
will return him a winner at the Nov
ember election.—Curwensville Review.
' The failure of Capt. \V. C. Kress to
register in Clinton county assures the
nomination of Judge B. W. Green.
The Clinton county primaries will be
held July 28.
"A great many influential Democrats
have declared their intentions of sup
porting Judge Green and if the Repub
licans will do their doty, put their
shoulders to the wheel and bring out
the full vote, he will be elected by a
handsome majority.
"Barclay, Green, Howard and Laßar
make a strong quartet and should poll
nearly every vote in Cameron county.
Why not make it unanimous?"— Drif
twood Gazette By all means make it
ui amnions and include William J.
Leavilt, the bark peeler, as well as
McNarney, Russell and Wykoff. And
don't forget the whole Republican
state ticket. Stand pat, men. That's
the way to make it unanimous.
Letter From Cameron.
Editor Press:—
Kindly premit me to answer an item
that appeared in the East Emporium
Independent, two weeks ago, relative
to tha renting of the K. G. E! hall for
dances. The correspondent stated
that "$4.00 is altogether too much to
pay for the use of the hall, and then
pay a dollar for the use of the organ.
Looks very much like buying the whole
outfit." In answer to the gentleman I
will say that ho only paid $2 OOon even
ing of June 30th and then wanted the
organ carried down stairs for his use,
when it was in use upstairs. I also
wish to state that some years ago it
was decided to charge SI.OO extra for
organ and the ruling was not new,as he
would make us believe. Whenever
the members of this Lodge need the as
sistance of outside parties to regulate
the price of the hall or organ rental we
will call on them. If any parties think
the rent is too high they should not
rent the hall. Surely the members
have never requested any one to rent
it if they thought the price too high.
Whenever the K. G. E., of this place,
see fit to give a dance they can have it
and make enough to pay all expenses
and have a balance left. They have
always been able to engage a caller
and music—which some parties could
not—and they were never obliged to
use a squaking phonograph to murder
music.
There are a class of people in every
town, who make their living without
working, and another class who try to
but fail for the want of brains. As
members of the K. G. E., we never had
to blow our own horn when we had a
dance—we left that to the people.

HALL'S NOMINATION
WILL BE CONTESTED.
George A. Brown, of Lock Haven,
j Enters the Fight for Judgeship
in That District.
| Willlaragport Bulletin.]
LOCK HAVEN, July, 22.— A1l is not
I harmony in the Democratic camp in
! Clinton county. The announcement of
j George A. Brown, of this city, as a
I candidate for President Judge of the
j Twenty fifth Judicial District has
j caused cold shivers to the Halls. The
| Brownites are determined to do away
| with the rule of J. K. P. and Harry A.
i Hall in the counties of Elk and
| Camecon. The $30,000 berth (§3,000
! per annum for ten years) had been
j especially reserved for Harry Alvan
Hall, who is Elk county's favorite
son, while J. K. P. Hall gobbled up
the senatorial plum again. The Hall
adherents in the county were not
figuring upon any opposition to the
carrying out of this program.
Brown is a member of the law firm
! of Brown & Stevenson, and is regard
j ed as one of the most learned legal
practitioners at the Oliuton county
bar. He no doubt will receive the in
dorsement of the Clinton county Demo
crats in the convention next month,
and the conferees will be instructed to
support him in the judiciary.
