singing and dancing chorus in musical
comedy, this season bigger, brighter
and more talented than ever before.
There is music and song in every action
of this comedy, there is hilarity in

is the exemplification of the tunniest
cartoons ever conceived and you have
it served by the most talented comed
ians obtainable. This company of

People's Star Course, Nov. 26.
Floyd, the magician, who is to give
an entertainment at the Opera House;
in the People's Star Course, is without
the most skillful exponent of
pure slight-of-hand that has ever ap
peared upon the Lyceum platform. He
has followed this line of work for over
twenty years; was the pioneer and still
maintains the lead; has invented, de
signed and presented more briiliant
magical experiments than any magi
cian now living; is constantly at work
upon some new and wonderful mystery,
and so startling are some of the ef
fects and so nearly perfect his art that
he has but to command the most un
heard of things to happen and they
transpire. He will be ably assisted by
Mohala, the mind-reader, and a really
talented musician.
Will Speak on Foreign Missions.
Rev. Walter A. Sellew, one of the
(Bishops) superintendents of the Free
Methodist church of North America,
will speak on Foreign Missions at the
Emporium Free Methodist church on
next Sabbath at 3:00 p. m. He will
preach Sabbath morning at 11:00 a. m.,
and also at 7:00 p. m. Rev. Sellew has
just returned from a tour of our mis
sion stations in South Africa, India,
China and Japan. Rev. Sellew is a
very impressive and interesting speak
er. A free will offering will be taken
for Foreign Missions at the afternoon
meeting. Everyone is cordially invit
ed to attend.

or by the use of a good digestant which
will digest the lood eaten; thus taking
the work off the stomach. At the proper
temperature, a single tenspoonful of
Kodol wholly digest i 5,000 grains of
food. It relieves the present annoyance,
puts the stomach in shape to satisfactorily
perform its functions. Good for indiges
tion, sour stomach, flatulence, palpitation
of the heart and dyspepsia. Kodol is
made in strict coroformity with the Na

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

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."

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.

hundred feet. Word was sent to Junc
tion and an engiue dispatched at once

led remafns as those of his father. It
was just getting daylight when the ac
cident took place.

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

FARMS AND FARMERS.
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. !
