Dr. Heilman's New Treatment We had lately frequently heard that Doctor Heilman was placing in his offices various electric appliances for producing X-rays and for general electric treatment of different human ailments. When he told us that he had everything arranged and was doing hußineas and invited us to step in and see his outfit, we concluded to do so. The Doctor favored us with a few sample treatments. Some of them were very refreshing. We cannot enumerate nor describe the various appliances and treatments, because we are not familiar enough with them to do so, although the Doctor explained them very fully and clearly to us. He assured us that everything was of the latest approved and best makes and strictly up-to date. Judging from general appearance we believe this to be eorre t. We were particularly well impressed with the familiarity the Doctor exhibited in explaining them and handling them in their various details. In reply to our commenting on this he said "that is simply the result of about two years of hard study and a few visits abroad, taking "Post Graduate'" courses in this particular work." in short this outfit is such that for appearance, completeness and for adaptability for the purposes in tended any pretentious sanitarium might well feel proud to possess. The Doctor says that while electricity, as exhibited in and produced by these appliances, is not a "cure all" and everything cannot be clone with it, yet there are many things that can be done with it that cannot be done with anything else and many diseases that can be cured by its proper application that cannot be affected by other known methods. There now seems to be no need for our people to visit the largo cities for this class of treatment. It can be given just as thoroughly in our own town. It has evidently taken a considerable amount of money, thought and work to bring about this result. The Doctor says that he does not know that he will get his money back from the use of his outfit, but that he does know that he will be able to do better work for his patients, as well as derive much personal satisfaction from its use. We believe our com munity will appreciate this commend able spirit of progressiveness. Base Ball. The base ball fans witnessed one of the best played games last Thursday, seen here in a long time, when Empo rium defeated the Williamsport P. R. R. team by the score of 4to 1. Our boys seemed determined to win and from the start played a game which it a credit to themselves and the manage ment. There was a slight change im positions, WayneCarburry of Driftwood was behind the bat and Wm. Leflerof St. Marys was in left field for the locauis and both played a nice game. Over turf waH at nliort-stop and is the rigiit man for the position. Jimmy Farredi, first; Chas. •Cummings, second; Eac>h bacli, third; Mumford, centre and Pisii er in right; all did effective wonk. In the eighth Mumford singled a»xi went to third on two wild throws, Fac rell hit a hot one to short, who fumbled it, and was safe on first, went to second on a balk aad with two men on basee, Fisher lined .one for two sacks, ai>£ two men soaeed; he was followed by Hemphill witln one in the same locality, who scored a little later. The four runs being made in this inning. Wil liamsport made their run in the sixth when Mumford muffed an easy chance. Little too sureGlene. Hemphill pitched a great game, having eleven strike outs and allowing but four hits. With the boyc playing ball like this they should reea've the patronage of the people. Our L-ase ball cranks were about thoroughly disgusted with the game played here recently nnd did considerable kicking, and refused to attend the games, bat with exhibitions like the last one they will have a larger attendance and deserve support. The Sinnamahoning Juniors came to Emporium Saturday and played two gaflhes with the third nine here. The home boys won both games- first ft to 3; second— 4 to '2, five innings. The home team defeated St. Marys tfnm at that place yesterday by the M ore of 11 to J. Williamsport V 8 Emporium at park .Saturday. LETTER OF ACCEPTANCE Hon. Josiah Howard's Letter Accepting the Republi can Nomination for Representative. AN ABLE AND INTERESTING DOCUMENT MK. J. P. M( NAHNEY, Chairman, Cameron County Jtcjmbiicnn Convenlion. DEAH SIB: 1 appreciate the courtesy of my noin- j ination by the Republican Convention and thank the Republican voters for their confidence in my ability to repre sent Cameron county in the Legis lature. A representative of the people is sup- 1 posed to use his own judgement in j matters of legislation as they come he- ; fore him with the explanations and e.v. pressions of opinion by other members j on the floor of the House, but he is also j a messenger for the people of his dis ' trict; and a decent respect to the opin- j ions and judgement of his constituents I demands some statement to them of| his qualifications and intent. A groat many discourteous things j have been said about our legislators, both state and national, but after on 1 | term at Ilarrisburg 1 am proud of hav ing been a member of so fair and Jr.- 1 telligent and honorable a body 1 112 men. lam proud because Penn-, sylvania and Pennsylvania laws ; are second to none for justice, equity, liberality and progress among the various states of the Union, and 1 am equally proud to he the represent;;- . tive of Cameron county, which, al though small, compares favorably in educational, commercial and financial activity and progress with neighbor- ; ing sections of the state. Our forefathers who colonized and , built up our nation were broad minded, j manly men who came here not seeking ! a job or soft suap, but with the intent i of establishing for themselves homes j and businesses better than those which 1 they enjoyed in the lands of their birth j And when they had reached a fuller | development, and had thrown off the j restraining hand of foreign influence, ! they founded our government upon a basis both equal and fair to all, with such measures of encouragement to progress as were consistent with the safe guarding of individual rights. They early realized that the most es sential elements of progress, after es tablishing an honest and firm founda tion were the cultivation and growtli 1 of intelligence and the provision of! means for free, equal and safe trans i portation, and for easy and quick I means of communication fur both social and business intercourse. To carry out this idea they establish ed a fundamental platform known as our Constitution, and provided that the people through duly elected repre- 1 sentatives should have the power of amending and broadening and main taining that, fundamental law. To make sure that this legislation should , be of, by,-and for the people, they stip- j ulated that their representatives, both 1 state and national, should come back to them for inspection and approval every two years. They also provided that all legislation passed by these rep resentatives should receive mature and deliberate consideration, end arranged another legislative house with a longer term of office, known as ttee Senate, to be a cooling off and remodelling place for supervising iegislatn smash ing it with a hammer and destroying part of the meat, but that it means simply the opening of the shell; and I want to say to you that my impression of the leaders of the I>emocratic party has always been that they- were just us honest and just as sincere in their ef forts to make «.« good omelet as the Republican party has made and in j capable of making again, but that they ! never understood the difference be- | tweon destroying the egg and the open- I ing of the shell. To control our corporations would j destroy them; to correct some minor abuses in the tariff they would wipe it out; to restrain some overzealous policeman they would abolish the police force; to keep some men from becoming too wealthy would destroy i all individual incentive by advocating I government ownership. There is nothing so important to the development of the nation as the en couragement ol individual effort, ami , there is also nothing more i important than that each individual should feel that his own efforts and en ergy will be given fair play in the race of progress, j This the Republican party has done; this the Republican party proposes to do. Its rirst motive is to form a firm and secure government, and its second motive is to develop and encourage J individual effort. It is also the pur- j ; pose of the Republican party to en- j ! courage co operative of stock company I I development and energy, subject ' i always to such restrictions and regula- | tions as shall not discourage private) I individual efforts and ambition,nomat- j j ter on how small or large a scale the j , individual wishes to make the attempt, i j All organizations of laboring men to I i improve their social and material con ! j dition are entitled to the same pre j i tection and encouragement as combi , nations of business men, and, of course ! ! should always be subject to the same | restrictions and regulations. No man can buy out another man's ; business and make a success of it un less he has a grasp of the possibilities jof increasing it. It is all right to cut | down expenses, providing it does not ; cut down the positive and initative j fop.,.' of progress. It is not low ! aala.ies and cheap machinery j jwe want, but better machinery, j at a higher price, if it ' | wiii i've letter results; and it is not ! I a low tariff and cheap money that we ■ j want, but a better tariff and better and | i more elastic money, better protection j from weak and unscrupulous competi tion and cheap financial theories. No man is competent to remodel a house who is not competent to plan a new one, because he will not realize the importance of the foundations nor the eternal fitness of things necessary to harmonize it as a whole The Democratic party are not suitable con tractors to remodel our tarifT or our money standards, because they do not understand the foundations of these institutions and have no clear concep tion of their purpose and importance | to our enterprising and progressive, as well as safe and sound, National life. Bryan says,abolish the gold standard, mix some other metal with the gold and make money cheap. Bryan says, don't let men get too rich, pass a law that no man can be a director in more than one company. It is not cheap money we want but honest money. It is not one horse, men that we want but honest men; and you do not make men honest by stop ping them from doing business. Do you know, Mr. Chairman, that every dollar of paper money issued by the banks is backed up by one dollar and seven cents of United States bonds deposited at Washington. That is honest money, that is gold standard American money and we are proud of it, and all the world is glad to get some of it. Our people, irrespective of party, evince their honesty and patriotism by 1 open and enthusiastic recognition of ! the honesty and manhood of Theodore I Roosevelt; but it is surprising that ! some of our people calling themselves | Roasevelt-Bryanites would just as hon | estly and enthusiastically declare I Bry*n a secoad Roosevelt. One is an j open, straightforward, manly states , mat, standing for protective tariff, I sousd money and fair play alike to the corporation* and the individual work j er, while t~e other openly and anx > iously pondering to the prejudices and passions of men, has laid himself open to the charge ot insincerity, by sweep i iug from populism and free trade | through free silver and the reorgani zation of the supreme court to his pres ent place to restrict individual ambi j tion. One man represents warm i health v sunshine, and the other sings i of sweet delusive moonshine. In the last Legislature I tried to use my influence for bettor roads, better schools, better police protection, better inspection of the hospitals, coal mines and factories, better divorce laws, better health and game laws; and more especially for more independent action by the members in the Committee Continued on .tit page. Self Made Men. We noticed in last weeks Independent ; an article entitled "Wealth, Influence." j Let tue ask the writer if lie knows ol a Democratic candidate who is more of a | self made man than either lion. (ieo. .1. 1 Laßar, or our own country boy, William j J. Leavitt? These men by hard laborious ! work have couie up from the very lowest 1 rounds of the ladder. Mr. Leavitt has i worked-in the woods a number of sum- i mers right here in our own valley and j these men who know him best are and will be his most ardent supporters in November. Here's success to our woods man candidate. His election i-: a cer tainty. VINDICATOR. A Daughter of the Revolution. Miss Marian E. Larrabee has been j notified by The National Association of j Daughters of the American Revolution, ' Washington, D. C., of her election to ! membership in that society. Miss Lar- j rabec filed her proofs « »f descent from i Revolutionary ancestry, through her lath- i er s people, and same was verified and j accepted by the Association. Two of her ancestors, one of theui an; officer, served in a \ ermont regimotit in j the war for American Independence, j Anions others, one of the purposes of j the organization is i in the prcser- j vation of places of lii.-t ui .MI iutdrcst imd : importance. An Exciting Runaway. There was an exciting runaway down j town Tuc.day evening which came near j resulting seriously. Tom Nickerson, | Linn Strayer and William J. Leavitt started out from *he coal yard with .Mr. j ■Strayer s crack driving team fur a drive j up town. They had scarcely started j when the team began to run and soon j were temporarily beyond c mtrol. When J they reached the Metht>di>t church they I swerved around an electric light pole | and Mr Leavitt was thrown to the ground i in front of the wagon. The wheel pass ed over his arm and legs but fortunately no hones were broken. How he escaped serious injury will always remain a mys tery. Mr. Nickerson finally managed to guide the team up the hill and succeeded in stopping them at the end of Allegheny A venue. Magnificent Exhibition. The program to be presented by the 1 Liberty Moving Pictures is replete I with special features, introducing comedy, j pathos aud dramatic incidents and com- j prises the most wonderfully realistic pictures ever exhibited on any stage. Each subject is the acme of scientlic art, a headline in itself, and goes to make up a most complete and exceptionally pleas ing entertainment of animated views. Mechanical effects accurately repro ducing every sound indicated during the action of the pictures, form one of the iealistic features of the presentation, and a special staff of skilled stage employes accompany the exhibition to insure a perfect illusion. This attraction has been secured for the Emporium Opera House on Tuesday, Aug. 28th, with a special matinee at 3:30 p. m. Prices, 50, 35 and 25c; Children 15c: Matinee prices, 10 and 20c. Democracy's Order of Things Stirs up a Hornet's Nest. The action of the Democratic couuty convention last week with reference to the appointment of conferees by the chair man of the convention has called forth i coniderahle comment, pro and con. . Many Democrats have expressed their dis- I approval of establishing such a precedent. For years it has been the custom to per mit the district nominees to appoint their j own conferees and to deny them this j privilege naturally causes considerable j disapproval. The ijuestion was strenu- I ously opposed in the convention, but the | llenovo contingent, assisted by those in j sympathy with the now plan, controlled | the convention and defeated the oppon ; eats of the innovation. From what can : be learned this action will not conduce to 1 harmony in the Democratic ranks.— i Lock Haven Express. This is nothing to j what the Clinton citizens will experience if they once allow the Elk Gang to fasten I its fangs into Clinton county affairs. They would have no rights; would be i simply serfs. The Libetty Amusement Co's high class Moving Pictures come to us with an endorsement of eight consecutive return date tours covering the larger cities of New England eight times in less than two seasons. Further evidence is scarcely ! needed to guarantee the entertaining j have resided in this county all their lives. The Judge wa.» bom bear Sizervil'e.
