Williamsport Boom to Go. The Williamsport boom will soon be j demolished. A mill will be erected to j saw the boom timber and sunken logs. It will require two years to wipe out ' that once largest lumber boom in the United States. Overcome by Heat. E. L. Mason, C. B. Howard & Co's band saw filer, was overcome by heat j last Monday. He felt himself getting faint and left the filing room, going < back of the mill, where he was found some time after by one of the employ- i ees in a precarious condition. Dr. Heilman was hastily summoned and in jected powerful restoratives, after which he was taken to his room at the City Hotel. He has been very fiick ever since, but hopes to be able to Kit up to-day. Mr. Mason, while a large and powerful man, could not stand King Sun's heat. Not a Mind Reader. A grocer in a nearby town happened around when a farmer was unloading severnl boxes filled with groceries which he had ordered from a Chicago department store. The groceryman asked the farmer the price of the articles purchased and then told him that he could sell them just as cheap. The farmer then said: "Is that so? I take the home paper, but you seldom or never advertise. lam not a mind reader." No Paper Next Week. "Iu accordance with the time-honor ed custom," the PRESS will not be is sued July 4th week. Our office will he open for the transaction of business, each day except the Fourth. Please bear this in mind, friends. Let the old Eagle scream. Base Ball. Johnsonburg played here again Mon day and Emporium received another defeat. The home team should have won the game by a nice margin. While the game was hotly contested from start to finish we had the game won but for an over throw to first by Gilbert in the eighth. Score. r he Emporium 0 1 (J 2 2 1 0 0 0-6 12 6 Johnsonburg.. .0 0 3 0 0 2 0 2 o—7 7 9 Base Ball Pickups. The team showed up to better ad vantage Monday and should have won. The management is stjll on the hunt for players and expects the team to be further strengthened by July 4. Cummings has been out of the game the past two games, but will be in again on Saturday. We need him badly and will be glad of it. Gilbert batted like a fiend, but was somewhat off in his fielding. Overturf had an off day, but is for given, as all players are likely to have them. Liston had three singles and played a magnificent game. Fox on third is a marvel. Fisher has forgotten how to bat. Don't forget St. Marys on Saturday. Eschbacb is holding up his reputa tion as a catcher. He certainly can't be beat. "Look at us win the next four games in succession. This is no idle boast." Good. We like your nerve. Drowned. Last Sunday, two Polish men, em loved at the furnace, went to enjoy a ewtm above Howards old mill dam, but on their arrival, the water looked too deep for one of the men, and he de cided not to venture it, as neither of them could swim, but the other man would not heed, and made just a few steps and sank in about eight feet of water and never raised again. Word was sent to the furnace and Jas.Wright went to the place and after diving three times, brought up the lifeless body. The drowned man leaves a wife and four children in Poland to mourn bis death.

John E. McCarthy, aged 28 years, died on Saturday, June 22d, 1907, at Emporium, Pa., at the residence of his sister Elizabeth—Mr. and Mrs. S. J. Hauber—on Fifth street. Deceased was the eldest son of Thomas aud Eliza McCarthy. Upon the death of their mother, when small,children they were placed in Erie Orphan's Home, where the young man was educated. At the age of 16 he entered the employ of the Erie St. R. R, and continued one of their trusted employees until Jan. 28th last when that fatal maludy, consump lion. compelled him to give up work, coining to Emporium about six weeks ago to the home of Mr. and Mrs. S. J. j Hauber. He gradually failed. John was a good boy, thoughtful en ergetic, economical and kind. We knew him well and feel that his spot less life and high-mindness guided him from dangerous ways. During his busy life he managed, by strict economy to save some money and pay his way dur ing his illness, and when his Master called, he left directions to prepare his funeral arrangements, to purchase a lot in St. Mark's Cemetery, to erect mark ers on the graves of his departed par ents, as well as his own. He showed that he was grateful to those kind sis tors at Erie who cared for him iu his youth by wiling them §3OO, The funeral services took place at St. Marks Catholic Church, Monday morn ing, High Mass being celebrated by Father Downey. The life of this young man was food for an eloquent sermon by Father Downey, who touch iuely referred to the grand life of the deceased and pointed others to his ob ject lesson.

The big electric storm last Saturday afternoon did considerable damage in this section. While the ball game be tween Johnsonburgand Emporium had started and the grand stand crowded, the excitement was noticeable, espec ially among the ladies, who became very nervous. Several buildings were slightly damaged in town among the number being the houses of Andrew Blinzler, Robt. B. Warner, H. L. Burns, occupied by Mr. Mulcahy, and other damages. The heavy rain damaged Jos. Kaye's new lawn quite severely It has rained almost incessantly ever since. See the Indians, July 8. The famousCherokee Indian baseball club will play here on Mopday, July 8. Two games daily, afternoon and night. Don't forget the date. They carry a canvas fence 1,200 feet long and ten feet high, also a portable grand stand, and travel in their own Pullman hotel car. The greatest achievement in base ball history is the night game. The following is from the Princeton Leader: "At night the 50,000 candle power light-t evidenced themselves and the Indians with their lights aflame entered the night game and then the Prince tons ably demonstrated their skill and ability on the diamond by a victory of 6-3. The scene was fully up to the ad vertised display." Consulting Specialist. John A. Johnston took his son Lloyd, who severely injured one of his legs "while coasting last winter, to a Buffalo specialist for treatment. The little man has suffered terribly for months and we hope may receive some help. Not a Cancer. For some weeks Mr. John E. Smith and his friends have been greatly ex ercised on account of a growth on his tongue having been pronounced of cancerous nature. Mr. Smith informs us that a specialist tells him it is not a cancer, but might develop into one if allowed togo without attention. This will be good news to his many friends. Card ofThanks. MR. EDITOR: —We wish to thank our friends and neighbors, both of Sinna mahoning and Emporium, for their kindness and sympathy, in the loss of our beloved daughter and sister, Belle.

After a contest nnparalled in its se verity, the New York Life Insurance i Company has been reorganized under its new Board of Trustees. They represent the "administration," they were chosen by a majority of 138,- 000 and they undoubtedly stand for the policy and the man of overwhelming mass of policy holders desire. The first election has shown, as there was every probability it would show, that the agents who had persuaded men to in sure retained their confidence after they were insured. The new trustees have chosen as president Darwin P. Kingsley, a man who passed through all the fire of in vestigation unscathed. No charge was made against him. No dubious act was uncovered. He haa held every post in the company, agent, field agent, superintendent of agencies, third vice president, first vice-president and now president, succeeding Alexander E. (Jrr, who haa held the place for a year and a half, with the avowed intention of retiring as soon as the company was reorganized. This reorganization has now been effected. It has resulted in the choice of a man connected with the past management of the company, a son-in law of John A. McCall, the former president; but in addition, a man of long experience, high character and enjoying the confidence of the business world. A graduate of the University of Vermont, he is a trustee of the insti tution, selected to deliver address at the centennial, and enjoying the esteem of his fellow-alumni. He stands for the best in the calling he represents; he brings to his work skill, knowledge and reputation and he comes to his post fully "cquainted with its needs and duties. The investiga tions and exposures of the past, the heavy vote cast for a new board and the consciousness that the policy hold ers exercise this power to vote on a scale never before 'known, render it certain that the new administra tion will take up its work with a sense of responsibility, a determination to I safeguard every right and a vigorous j policy, such as will continue the growth and maintain the security of the society.—Philadelphia Press. The New York Life's representative in Cameron county is 11. H. Mullin, Em porium. Drop him a postal to call on you. The Black Bass Law. Misinterpretation of the law in re gard to the catching of black bass may cause trouble for careless fisher men. A section of the law provides that it is illegal to catch black bass under nine inches in length in any waters "mentiened under the first section of this act." The first section of tiie act, however, refers only to lakes and bays, and the nine-inch limit therefore applies to those waters only. The minimum size for other streams is the same as last year—seven inches. One section of the new law that it will be well for fishermen to keep in mind is section eleven, which reads as follows: "It shall be unlawful for any person to catch or kill more than ten black or yellow base in one day. Any per son violating the provisions of this section shall, on conviction, be sub ject to a fine of ten dollars for each fish so captured and killed, over and above the amount therein named, or, in default of payment, be imprisoned in the county jail for a period of one day for each dollar of fine unpaid." Furnish the Evidence. MB. EDITOR: - _ I am officially receiving communica tions similar to the following, but in every instance no name signed. If our citizens wish to aid in the punishment of violators of law they must furnish at least a clue to work on otherwise we are powerless to act: "Why is it that the foreigners on | Tannery Hill are allowed to sell i beer at five cents a bottle, and whiskey j without a license all day on Sunday to [ men and boys. You can go into their | house and in it will find lots of men ! and boys brinbiiig almost any Sunday. | especially after pay day. See yourself ; some time and see how many "drunks" | come down from tannery hill. An ; American and a cripple was made to i cut it out. Now. why are not the for- I eigners made to cut it out. It is a I shame on Emporium to have such ' places." Now this party complained of re- i sides in Shippen and it is not in my powder to act, but if the writer will ! 1 furnish the names the State's attorney ! ' no doubt would act promptly. i 1 FRANK MUNDY, Chief of Police. Lotfor Sale. A good building lot, :ioxl6o feet, lo- j cat
