Fatal Wreck. The east bound Buffalo flyer, left Emporium Saturday morning, at 12:15, meeting with an accident a short dis tance this side of Renovo depot En gineer Hoover, of Sunbury, pulled a freight engine aDd train onto the main track just as the flyer came into the yard, running at a high speed, crashing into the freight engine. The heavy train back of the engine forced the tender on top of the flyer engine. John Lovett, the flyer engineer, was thrown from his engine and frightfully scalded. His fireman, named Snod grass, was seriously injured. Engineer Lovett died at 7 o'clock. He was a single man, aged about 43 years, and is survived by two brothers and three sisters. Deceased was very popular and well known in Cameron county, having for some time been on the run between Emporium and Renovo, mak ing his home at St. Charles Hotel. Steel Passenger Cars. Six hundred steel passenger cars are to be built for the Pennsylvania railroad in the next year. Space for 550 cars has been reserved with the American Car and Foundry company and 50 cars or more will be construct ed at the Altoona shops of the rail road company. Three experiment cars have been constructed in the Al toona shops. The order to the Ameri can Car and Foundry company will be divided so as to include coaches, baggage, express and mail care. The Pullman company is building a con signment of steel sleeping cars, which probably will be assigned to service on the Pennsylvania system, The rail road company has also directed its motive power department at Altoona to build 25 freight locomotives, the largest and heaviest that the company has ever constructed for its use. The locomotives arc intended for a fast freight service to be inaugurated on the Pennsylvania low grade freight line. Bachelors. "Bachelors can be found roaming at large in all parts of the world. They inhabit apartments, clubs, open fields, bodies of water and music halls. They are also seen behind the scenes. They hover at times near front gates, and have been found in back parlors with the aid of a searchlight. "Bachelors are nomadic by nature and variable in their tastes, never going with one girl long enough to be dangerous. "Bachelors make love easily, but rarely keep it. Rich bachelors are hunted openly and shamelessly, and are always in great danger. Those who finally escape are, as a rule, use less ever afterwards."—Tom Masson in the December Delineator.

EMPORIUM, PA., THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 22, 1906. New Primary Not Compuisary in Townships. There is much discussion relative to that provision iu the uniform primary act which rends as follows: "Providing that nothing herein con tained shall prevent the nomination of candidates for borough or township of fices, or other offices not herein speci fically enumerated, in the manner pro vided by existing laws." County Commissioners throughout the state are interested in this matter, aud there is n:ueb diversity of opinion as to whether or not the primaries in boroughs and townships should be held under the provisions of the uniform primary act. Section two of the uni form primary act provides that "two primaries shall be held each year in every election district of this Common wealth." This is followed later by the above quoted proviso. "If the electors of any borough or township desire to make their nomina tions for the coming spring election under the new primary act, then they should signify such desire and inten tion by filing with the County Com missioners petitions for nominations. If such petitions are not filed with the Commissioners no ballots will be pro vided for use under the new primary law and the primaries cannot be held under this new law but will have to be conducted under the old system, that is, in the manner observed before the passage of the uniform primary act. "I would advise the County Commis sioners to make all necessary arrange ments for the holding of the winter primaries in the several boroughs and townships of the respective counties, and to provide supplies and equip ment for each election district, as is re quired by section seven of the uniform primary act. They should also pro vide ballot boxes for exclusive use at primary elections, in order tbnt the boxes in use at general elections need not be disturbed." NOTES OF INTEREST.

DM Well Killed by Flyer. His Mangled Remains Identified by Son. Delbert Hackett, aged 56 years, Ron of the late S. S. Hackett, whlie going to the Keystone Powder works, on Saturday morning, about six o'clock, was struck by the P. &E. flyer while crossing the railroad bridge, west of town, killing him instantly. The en gineer saw the man as the engine struck him and immediately reversed the en gine and succeeded in stopping the train in a short distance. The mangled remains of Mr. Hackett were discover ed under the trucks of the third car. his body having beeu rolled about one hundred feet. Word was sent to Junc tion and an engiue dispatched at once to the scene. Upon the engine was the dead man's son Benjamin, who was horrified when he identified the mang led remafns as those of his father. It was just getting daylight when the ac cident took place. The remains were taken to Laßar's undertaking rooms and prepared for burial, after which the body was taken to the residence of deceased's mother, Mrs. S. S. Hackett, from where tho funeral took place on Monday after non and was largely attended. Rev. Mr. Bennett, pastor of Free Methodist Church officiated. Interment was made in Newton cemetery. * Deceased leaves a wife and four children—one daughter, (Mrs. Minnie Edsall), Seymour S., Beu G., and Geo. D. The family have resided on C. C. Fay's farm, while the husband walked two miles and return each day to his work at Keystone powder plant, being employed in the nitric acid plant. The liorrible taking off was a great shock to t". family, ■■vho received tho sympathy of their friends. The following relatives from out of town attended the funeral: Seymour S., (son) and wife, Phillipsburg; Mrs. Ella Miller, (niece), Carl Hackett, (nephew), Olean; John Houser, (nep hew), Buffalo; Mr. and Mrs. (daughter) Fred Edsall, Clear Creek. Died. WOLVERTON—At Emporium, Pa., Nov. 10th, 1906, Phill Wolverton, aged 50 years, after a short illness at the home of Win. Krebs. BY A FRIEND. As we go out upon the ocean we see nothing but the great billows roll, and as we look for the last time upon the face of the departed, we say: "All is well; safe in the arms of Jesus, safe on : His gentle breast, sweetly his soul is at rest." May these words be a comfort to the bereaved. Although we are far apart, iu life and in death, God in his mercy will gather us together, as a hen gathereth her little ones. Let us not thiukofthe past, but look to the future for the blessing of God. Deceased was kind and loving to theme around him and always spoke well of every one he knew. These few 1 ixies are hastily written by a friend to the sisters and friends of Mr. A olverton. Lady Maccabees. A full attendance is requested next Tuesday night. Business of import ance one, week from Tuesday being election of officers. DEBORAHHOCKLEY, L. C. Card of Thanks.

Alfred Truman Writes Entertain ingly of Observations as to Tilling of the Soil. It was a common occurrence some three or four generations ago for young men to marry and to start out in life in the pursuit of agriculture, whose first great task wan the clearing and making a farm out of the natural fofest. Very many began their careers under equal conditions, and to those who witnessed many of these beginnings, and have carefully observed the life-work of these same people, it is interesting, in many cases, and extremely meloncholy in others, to see and to contemplate the various results. Many of these families succeeded only in ekiug out a compar atively poor existence, and have left, from tho fertile acres they wrested from the lap of nature, land in the last stages of desolation and ruin. An ex- ! tremely limited few have developed ! nature's resources in the arts of agri culture, and have created a higher order of human advancement, while the tendency of their neighbors has beeu toward the conditions from which human existence originated. Circumstances may bring many into the work of agriculture who have noba single qualification for conducting the | industry they accidenfcly come to fol low, and all such cases demand a fair measure of sympathy—if not even pity. But viewing the great agricultural sub ject on its merits, believing it to be the I fundamental basis of the world's ad vancement, forcible examples of the art of civilized progression by some, and an evidence of degeneration on the part of others, may be seen in all rural communities, and, I fancy, par ticularly so along the road which leads from Brookville to Keynoldsville. . There are farms adjoining the road in question, so poor that if all the soil iu the United States was reduced to the same degree of unproductiveness, the country could not support one-tenth of its present population, in fact it would not sustain in a civilized condition the very creatures who might seek to exist upon it. There is, however, in the midst of this agricultural squalor, a little community of men whose farms are an honor to themselves and a credit to the country, and the star in this galaxy of progressive fellows is Mr. Levi Schuckers. The vital importance to the world between good and bad agriculture is so tremendous, that when I come to try to do justice to Mr. Schuckers, and to those who have followed and are fol lowing his splendid example, I feel I shall fail to find expressions of suffi cient force to express one's admiration of the conduct of these men in the world's best occupation. The produc tion of Mr. Schuckers' farm, although our seasons are limited to less than five months duration, are equal both in quantity and quality to the be3t farms in the counties of Lancaster and Chester, a spot we call the garden of America. And if all the land the country cultivates was made as pro ductive as is the soil of Mr. Schuckers a population of four hundred millions of people could bo sustained. His aver age production of wheat per acre is double that of our western prairies, and his yield for this year is 500 bush ! els. When the census report for his | township was read by the census offi i cials at Washington, for the year 1.900, j the figures giving Mr. Schuckers' pro j duction of crops for that yea.?, were | discredited and the report returned, as I the officials stated, for correction; but j as absolute facts had been given in the j first instance, there were no corrections j to be made. ! Mr. and Mrs. Scl.uckers began their | career of perseverance and success in : the year 1861. The land they have | succeeded in making so fertile and ; productive was at that time a dense ; forest. Along with the laborious task 1 of clearing the land, they engaged, al i so, in the lumber business—to tho ex | tent of utilizing the timber as the land . was being cleared. To reader a large | proportion of their land productive they found it necessary to construct several hundred rods of permaraent drains. All this labor, together with that of clearing tho land of stumps, was assiduously carried on and contin ued year after year, until the noble aspiration and ambition ot these real benefactors had been brought to a state of happy realization No single, separate monument could do justice to the man who has manifestly improved the agricultural conditions of his coun try. His should bo a groat central figure, surrounded by emblems repre sentative of every civilized industry and blessing, all acknowledging agri culture as the source of their being. For there can be no force of civilization ! independent of the products of the soil. ! ALFRKU TRUMAN. TERMS : $ 2.00 —$1.501N ADVANCE. THE WEATHER. PRIDAY.Hnow flurries.
