"A Texas Ranger."
An army officer once said, "any j
white man who clams he was in the
fight with Cluster at ttie Little Big
Horn must be a renegadej because no
white man came out of that fight u-Jess
he fought on the side of the Indian."
But in the powerful Western drama t
"A Texas Ranger" you see the life
story of a white girl who thinks
herself an Indian.
Ne-wa ta, the white Indian girl, when
but a baby was one of a wagon
train on their way to win fortune in
in the great south-west. One night an
attaclc by the Indians wiped out the en.
tire party except the baby, Ne-wa-fa.
She was taken by the chief to his vil
liage, and raised as an Indian AH the
•story goes slie is loved by a half-breed,
but her love is for a gallant Lieutenant
of the military post. She deserts her
people to warn the Fort of an Indian
raid, but though she renounces the In
dians she risks her own life to save the
Chief whom she thinks is her lather.
Ne wa-tu's life story is neatly tcid by
the author in "A Texas Ranger" which
will be seen at the opera house, March
12th.

Mix This at Home.
The following simple home-made
mixture is said to readily relieve and |
overcome any form of Rheumatism by
forcing the Kidneys to filter from the
blood and system all the uric acid and
poisonuous waste matter, relieving at
once such symptoms as backache, weak
kidneysand bladder and blood diseases.
Try it, as it doesn't cost much to
make, and is said to be absolutely
harmless to the stomach.
Get the following harmless ingredi
ents from any good pharmacy: Fluid
Extract Dandelion, one half ounce;
Compound Kargon, one ounce; Com
pound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three
ounces. Mix by shaking well in a
bottle, and take a teaspoonful after
each meal and again at bedtime.
This simple mixture is said to give
prompt relief, and there are very few
cases of Rheumatism and Kidney trou
ble it vill fail to cure permanently.
There are all harmless, every day
drugs, and your druggist should keep
them in the prescription department; if
not, have him order them from the
wholesale drug houses for you, rather
than fail to use this, if you are af
flicted.
"Preventics" will promptly check a
cold or the Grippe when taken early or

DEATH'S DOINGS.
GARRITY.
WILLIAM GARRITY, aged 62 years,
died quite suddenly at the family resi
dence, Sixth street, Emporium, Pa.,
Friday morning at 1:30 a. m , of valvu
lar heart trouble, after an illness of
several weeks, although not consider
ed dangerous *in fact he had notified
the railroad officials that he would be
able to report for duty within a few
days. During Thursday he was feeling
remarkably-well and took a walk about
five o'clock in the evening. When he
retired for the night he rested well and
slept until mid-night, when he awaken
ed in great distress. His wife assisted
him to the bath room where he conld
have his easy chair and felt easier, re
questing his wife to return to her rest.
It was only a few moments when he
called his wife to him and passed to
the great beyond, leaning upon her
shoulder. Dr H. S. Fa llt was called
but found the patient beyond mortal
help.
Mr. (iarrity was born at Schenectady,
N. Y., sixty-two years ago next
and early in life, when a very small
child, was left an orphan. When yet
a boy he secured employment in the
locomotive works in that city and early
took an engine on N Y. C. R. R., com
ing to the Buffalo Division thirty years
ago, running between Emporium and
Buffalo, twenty eight years of this time
having resided in Emporium with his
family, highly respected.
He was in 1873 married at Dansvibe,
N. Y., to Miss Anna Mac Andrew and
reared a family of five children, viz:
Mrs. Stella Dixon, St. Marys, Pa ; Fred
W. Garrity, Buffalo; Adalene, of St.
Marys; Anna L , at home and Ray W.,
of Buffalo, all of whom were present ;>t
the funeral; also William Garrity, a
nepht'w, of Schnectady, N Y.
Mr. Garrity was considered one of
the most trusty engineers on the road
and when the Buffalo Flyer was placed
on the schedule he was given the run.
A quiet, intelligent and pleasant
gentleman ar, all timoa! he made friends
and retained them. His domestic re
lations were pleasant and so fond
was he of his home that he repeatedly
doubled the road in order to be with
his family, if or only two or three
hours. The PRESS, and we know our
citizens generally, cannot speak too
highly of the deceased—a faithful hus
band, devoted father and a true MAN.
THE FUNERAL.
The funeral took place from his
pleasant home on Sixth street, Sunday
afternon at two o'clock, Rev. Father
Downey conducting the services. The
Urge gathering of neighbors and friends
bore testimony to the worth of the
man and citizen. A delegation of rail
road officials, engineers and conduc
tors from Buffalo and other points were
in attendance and paid marked respect j
to their departed friend.
FLORAL OFFERINGS.
The floral offerings were indeed
beautiful and appropriate, viz: Pillow,
Cross aud Cut Flowers from family;

Destructive Fire at
Haider Brickworks
A destructive fire took place at
Calder Brick Works yesterday morning
at nine o'clock, destroying the machine
room, which contained the valuable
machinery for the manufacture of the
blocks. The loss is estimated at $lO,-
000 partially covered by insurance. By
heroic efforts of Supt Walker and his
men they succeeded in saving the
Power House, Band House and part of
the Tipple. Before the fire had hardly
subsided Mr. Walker got in toach with
the officers of the Company at Detroit,
Mich., and left to-day to meet the
Company, with all plans formulated to
repair the damage.
The plant had been putin elegant
shape by expending an additional $lO,-
000 sum in enlargement of the works.
They expected to resume the season's
work to-day,with orders on their books
for millions of block. It is believed
they will rebuild at once, it requiring
about eight weeks to repair the dam
age. Our citizens hope the Company
will not be discouraged but push
ahead.

The President on the Critical
Attitude.
It is possible that the President in
his recent Harvard address does less
than justice to some whom he would
place in the class of mollycoddles. Mr.
Roosevelt is distinguished for the force
ful, not to say at times vituperative,
quality of his vocabulary, rather than
for the infallibility of his judgments of
others, or for bis considerate treatment
of those who differ with him. We
must discount the animus of some of
bis remarks about mollycoddles by re
membering that some of these molly
coddles have been in the habit of pass
ing adverse criticisms upon the policies
of the present administration. For
aught the President knows, some of
these mollycoddles may be rendering
real service for the common good in
ways that are not apparent on the
gridiron or tennis court or directly
manifest at the ward primaries. It
may be that the President needs to
learn more perfectly some of his own
favorite lessons. The strenuous foot
ball player expects that the opposing
side will try to trip him and force him
back from his goal All that goes with
the game. And so the constructive I
statesman ought to accept adverse j
criticism of his policies and methods
a" part of tlio game Among the fun
damental duties of good citizenship !
are those of honest, independent think
ing and the free a id honeßt expression
of opinion. The statesman who stands
for a square deal will submit to any '
amount of adverse criticism rather than
begrudge to his fellow citizens the ex- |
ercise of free thought and free speech.
But afier all possible personal ani
mus has been discounted in the Presi
dent's Harvard address, tht> central
thought of his message is one t hat
needs to be emphasized and heeded,
it is the gospel of good citizenship,
based on virile manhood. The funda- !
mental principle of democracy ia that
every individual should count for one
and for only one. Mr. lloosevelt would
have every individual see to it that he
does count for one. In order to count
for one in the fullest sense, one must
be a man in the fullest sense, having a
man's strength and positive force, a
man's mind, a man's practical aim and
sense, a man's responsibility, a man's
ability to do his share of the world's
constructive work and a man's wil'ing
ness to bear his share of the common
burden. In order that the individual
may really count for one, he must be
something more than a solitary indi
vidual; he must be a social unit, a man
among men, one willing to work in
harness with others, and, what is
equally important, one who knows how
to do it. The man who is unwilling to
rub shoulders with others, who prefers
the seclusion of his own den or there
stricted society of his own superforset,
refusing all wider contact and duty, is
taking the sure way to count for con
siderably less than one. An aristocra
cy of education and culture that holds
itself aloof from the work of govern
ment is less worthy of respect than is
the titled aristocracy of England,
which plays an important part in the
political affairs of the realm.
"Above all, you college men, remem
ber that if your education, the pleas
ant lives you lead, make you too fasti
dious, too sensitive to take part in the
j rough hurlyburly of the actual work of
the world, if you become so over-culti
vated, so over-refined that you cannot
do the hard work of practical politics,
then you had better never been educat
ed at all. I want you to feel that it is
not merely your right to take part in
politics, not merely your duty to the
State, but that it is demanded by your
own self-respect, unless you are con
tent to acknowledge that you are unfit
to govern yourself, and you have to
submit to the.rule of somebody else as
a master —aud this is what it means if
! you dy not do your own part in gov
j ernment."
