DR. E. O. BARDWELL AND WIFE
LEAVES EMPORIUM.
Dr. Bardwell and wife leave to-day
for Buffalo, where the Dr. will "hang
oat his shingle," at No. 1175 Main
street, near the High Street Hospital,
in order that both himself and wife can
have the best medical treatment when
needed. Dr. Bardwell being a gradu
ate of Buffalo Medical College, class of
1879, he has many friends there to en
courage and assist him in his profes
sion. While their many Cameron
county friends dislike to have them
leave Emporium, all wish them well in
their new home. Professionally Dr.
Bardwell had no superiors and will be
sadly missed by his patrons, who have
had great confidence in his judgment
daring his practice here of over
twenty-five years. During all these
years the family have enjoyed the con
fidence and respect of our citizens and
many happy hours have been passed
i n their company by hosts of their
■friends. We hope their future may be
healthful and happy.
In Poor Health.
The many friends of Dr. and Mrs. D.
C. Groves will be sorry to learn that
the doctor is in poor health and has
been obliged togo t<» Colorado, where
he and his wife are now stoppiug—at
Littleton, Col. We hope the change
of climate may be beneficial.
Congressman Barclay.
Congressman Chas. P. Barclay, ac
companied by his wife, sister Mrs. R.
J. Robarts, of Knoxville, Tenn., and
Mrs. C. T. Wall, Owego, N. Y., visited
in Emporium on Monday, guests at
New Warner. They made the trip from
Sinnamahoning in the Capt's White
Steamer.
Rothfuss—Howard.
Mr. and Mrs. Adam Rothfuss, of
Williamsport, issue invitations for the
marriage of their daughter, Marion
Evelin to Mr Godfrey Woodhead
Howard, on Wednesday evening, Aug.
21st, 1907, at St. Luke's Luthern
church, Williamsport, Pa. Miss Roth
fuss has visited in Emporium and made
many admiring friends. The popular
young man resided here for several
years and was greatly respected for
his manly conduct. The PRESS joins
in extending the best wishes of many
friends lor a prosperous and happy
journey through life.
Why is it that no one wants to live
in the country any more? Cities are
full of people wbo live from "hand to
mouth,''' and whose total wealth is rep
resented by the clothing they have on.
Years go by and these persons never
have a home. They lose that indepen
dence that the proud owner of a farm
has. If there is one needed reform it
is to keep people on farms and away
from cities. —Whitesville News.
It was generally admitted by the New
York critics during the long run of
"The Girl of the Golden West," that
Mr. Belasco alone had succeeded in
transposing the atmosphere of Bret
Harte's California mining life to the
stage, and that the play was an ideal
western drama. The characters of The
Girl, of Jack Ranee, the gambler-sheriff
andofSonora Slim are an unrivaled
trio of Amarican types. The play was
presented upward of 400 performances
at the Belasco Theatre, and will be seen
at the local theatre next season.
W. R. C. No. 89 will hold an ice
cream social on the lawn of Mrs.
James Hamilton, Fifty street, Thurs
day evening, August 22.

Turley's store money drawer and
pleaded guilty, was remanded to Mor
ganza Reformatory, behaving been re
leased from said institution on parole.
This is the lad's third trip to Morgatiza.
Emporium Young Lady Assaulted.
About 9:30 o'clock Monday evening,
while Miss Bell Husted, one of Em
porium's highly respected young lad
ies. was going to the Herdic residence
'in i > Jaij l Iload Hollow:, she was met
by an Italian. His actions aroused the
young lady's suspicion and she told
him to stand away and let her pass.
With this he grabbed her by the throat
and threw her to the ground. Being a
lady of good physique she grabbed the
fiend, who was smaller than she, and
hurled him to the ground and made
her escape, at the same time scream
ing for help. The Ike became fright
ened and ran. Although terribly
frightened she was a match for her as
sailant. It is a great shame she did
not have a gun. A number of young
men attempted to find the scoundrel
but the frightened lady could not give
sufficient description to aid the hunt.
Too bad that Judge Lynch cannot have
a chance at some of the sneaking curs
that infest our streets at night. No
lady should venture out at night alone,
especially in sparcely settled sections,
without an escort.
The Devil and the Grafter.
Mr. Clifton R. Wooldridge, of Chica
go, a city and government detective,
in his great study of crime of eighteen
years, making nearly twenty thousand
arrests. A man who will not wink at
crime for a bribe, to allow a criminal
to escape, and in his lectures in
churches and schools he stands among
the leaders of the nation, on the sub
ject of crimiology.
Clifton R. W T ooldridge has written a
book, entitled "The Devil and the
Grafter." The story of his deeds
which will inform and impress the
reader.
Smith Whitman is handling the book
and is very much impressed with it. He
says in his travels of five years, sell
ing the "Pennsylvania Lawyer," he
has come in touch with many grafters
that wish to know some law. They
stand in shady nooks and work and
thrive in those shadows.
But the worst of all is the society
grafter. These victims are counted by
the thousands among honest women
who are struggling for an honest liv
ing. They set their traps at the door
of our homes, as they walk the streets
of our towns with polished shoes that
hide the cloven foot, as they buy and
sell and trade in human honor.
Yours truly,
SMITH WHITMAN.
Has Opened Law Offices at Wil
liamsport.
Don M. Larrabee has resigned his
position as Agency Director of The
New York Life Insurance Co., in order
that he may enter upon the practice of
law at Williamsport, Pa. Mr. Larrabee
qualified himself for the practice of
law by taking a course of study at Al
legheny College; from whence he en
tered the University of Pennsylvania
Law School, and after graduating from
that institution he was admitted to
practice at the Philadelphia Bar as well
as before the Supreme Court of Penna.
His offices are at No. 10 Elliot Block,

HON. JOHN O. SHEATZ,
MAKES FIRST SPEECH
OF THE CAMPAIGN.
ADDRESSES DID MEET
ING AT DERNVILLE.
TAKES A STRONG POSITION
ON THE CAPITOL CASE.
PUNISHMENT FOR EVERY GRAFTER.
Says That the Members of the
State Government, and Him
self, Are Firm Believers in
the Ten Command
ments—Much En
thusiasm.
BERNVILLE, August 9.—John O.
Sheatz, Republican candidate for
State Treasurer, opened his campaign
in this, one of the thriving towns in
Berks county, last evening, in a speech
which demanded punishment of the
Capitol grafters. Fully 5,000 person;,
assembled in Umbenhauer's grove,
where Candidate Sheatz opened his
address with words of praise for the
farmers. He referred to his Lehigh
county birth, and there were hundreds
011 hand from Lehigh to applaud him.
He quoted farm statistics showing
that there are in the United States 11,-
000,000 farmers and men who are em
ployed on farms, representing nearly
6,000,000 farms, with a valuation of
nearly $21,000,000,000.
"You as farmers," said he, "not
only feed all the people of the United
States, but could feed the greater part
of the world. If all were Repulicans
Taken to Hospital.
Jas. Connors, who has been very ill
with heart trouble while stopping at
the American Hotel, was taken to the
Williamsport Hospital last Thursday,
accompanied by Mr. John Edelman.
Mr. Hayes Improves.
Mrs. D. G. Hayes returned from Buf
ialo Monday evening, alter visiting
with her husband over Sunday. She
ret orts her husband slightly improved
and received encouragement from the
attending physician.
Almost Recovered.
August Morrell, who has been at
Williamsport Hospital since he was as
saulted and cut by an Italian who he
ha< discharged, has returned to Em
porium and resumed charge of the con
struction work for Emporium & Rich
Valley 11. R. August had a close call.
Bought a Farm.
John R Montgomery has purchased
the Ilobt. Armstrong farm on West
Creek, and expects to move thereon
within a few days. Our young friend
is tired knocking around in the woods
and we wish other young men would
see as he does, that the life of a farmer
is not only profitable and honorable
but an independent life.
Terrible Accident.
During a terrible storm that swept
over parts of the country, last Wednes
day afternoon, Jas. W. Scott of Farm
ers Valley, was struck by lightning, in
stantly killing him. Mr. Scott was
forman of Kane's lumber camp. The
deceased is survived by a wife and two
children, who have the sympathy of a
large circle of friends. Funeral ser
vices were conducted at the camp on
Friday last, the remains being taken to
Ripley, N. Y., tor burial.
Wm. Hendricks, of Emporium, was
the only witness to the awful scene.
He was sitting about ten feet from
Scott when the bolt struck him.
Genuine Southern Cracker.
J. A. Harper and wife, of Pierson,
Fla., are guests of the latter's parents,
Mr. J. S. Pye and wife, who live on
the Geo. C. Thayer farm, on West
Creek. We had the pleasure of meet
ing Mr. Harper, on Tuesday, who is a
merchant at Pierson and a very pleas
ant gentleman. This being Mr. Har
per's first visit to Emporium he is hav
ing a pleasant time, meeting old
friends who have visited in Fla. His
wife, formerly Miss Carrie Pye, was a
highly respected young lady when she
resided here and her friends congratu
late her on capturing the wide-awake
"Southern Cracker," who is all right.
i you could elect every official from the
j President down. Unfortunately, about
1 one half follow other political faitha
and consequently do not do as well, in
> that line as they might."
| Mr. Sheatz also spoke of the first
i defenders and lauded Berks county's
I part in the Civil war, and especially
Bernville's young men who went to
the front during that period,
TO KEEP IN FRONT.
"With a steady advance in education
and good roads," he continued, Penn
i sylvania will keep on in the front
ranks of progressiveness in every line
that promotes good citizenship and
better government.
"And when I say better government
I mean that the rascally business of
the clique that built and furnished
1 the State Capitol aDd profited illegally
by that work, of which you and I and
j the people of Pennsylvania knew noth
; ing, shall be punished—yes, punished
to the fullest extent of the law.
"Not only for the wrong they did
J the taxpayers of the commonwealth,
j but additional punishment, if it is pos
| sible, for holding us up to ridicule in
the eyes of our sister States and by
dragging the name of our good State
| in the mud.
"I want to say to you people of
Berks county that the "Governor and
; Auditor General, myself and the great
| majority of citizens of this Common
wealth not only respect and obey the
Eigth Commandment, but every one
of the Ten Commandments and fear
no comparison in that line with any
one connected with the political party
that intends to drag quotations from
the Holy Bible into a political cam
paign.
HIS PLEDGE TO THE PEOPLE.
| "As a Pennsylvanian I come to you
| as a candidate for the ofiice of State
Treasurer. If you believe in me, if
you feel that I will be true to the trust
I ask you to repose in me, then I hope
you will vote for me. Of this you can
be absolutely sure, and that is, if
elected, I will positively refuse to pay
any request or demand upon the State
Treasury where the expenditure is not
clearly defined by existing laws or
when I feel great extravagance ex
ists
"In the latter case the sooner the
press and the public are made aware
of this fact the better for our Com
monwealth. And when my term of
office expires every dollar that should
| be in the State Treasury will be there."
j At the close of his speech there was
great applause. A reception followed
and Candidate Sheatz was introduced
by Attorney Keiser to not only the
leading Republicans of Bernville but
to the many influential. Democrats of
Northern Berks, who were on hand to
hear Democratic Congressman Roth
ermel and Clerk of Quarter Sessions
, Candidate Samuel Bordner speak.
Energetic Press Representative.
Mr. E. C. Steele, of Parsons, Kansas,
the wide-awake Press Representative
of the Van Amburg Shows knows how
to work up interest in their shows,
watches every good idea and catches
on. His very gentlemanly and cour
teous treatment to the representatives
of the press, and all persons with whom
he came in contact, in our judgment
places him in the front rank as a circus
press representative—the best we ever
met. In fact the head men of each de
partment that we met are gentlemen.
The Van Amburg Shows will once
more be as popular as it was in the
civil war times.
The attendance at this place, last
Saturday was the largest known here
in years and the unanimous verdict of
our people was:"This is a good
show; the work of the Japs alone re
pays the expense, while the elegant
horses is a treat to look at. It is an
old-time show and we like it." If Van
Amburg comes back to Emporium
next year friend Steele will have to
add an extra hall acre to that new tent
in order to accommodate the children
and ladies alone.
Glycerine Explosion Injures Fiv«
Trainmen.
Last Saturday morning, about two
o'clock, the trainmen on train No. 98
attempted to remove what they sup
posed to be a drunken hobo, when the
train arrived at Ridgway. The con
ductor Albert Pierce, took from the
pocket of the hobo a bottle of what he
supposed was whiskey, and handed it
to Engineer Robinson, who allowed
it to slip through his fingers, falling
against the car, when there was a ter
rible explosion, the stuff proving to be
glycerine. All of the railroad men five
in number, were painfully injured.
Their names are Albert K. Pierce, Wm.
C. Robinson, Jos. D. Krebs, S. J.
Snvder and Earl Marsh, the latter
being from Mason Hill, this county.
He is not seriously injured. Engineer
Robinson's injuries proved more ser
ious than at first supposed, his left leg
was amputated above the ankle. All
the injured men are at Ridgway Hos
pitrl. The hobo escaped serious injury
and is confined in Ridgway jail. It is
generally believed that he is a burglar.

IMc-Mlc—Emporium Roasted
A real social and pleasant time was enjoyed
by about one hundred of the people of Rich Val
ley on Saturday hist, at a pic-nic at theChad
wick School House, it being a united Sunday
school affair, the Rich Valley and Elk Lick
schools joining and the result was a grand suc
cess. The table was loaded with good things to
eat until it fairly groaned and after every one
had feasted to their "hearts content" or their
stomach s misery, there was left, as one said
enough to feed forty more,'* and it was not
exaggerated. The grounds are famous for such
affairs and the trees did double duty, they af
forded shade and a large swing was suspended
from the swing trees, as two of them are called,
and one small swing for the little folks. We
wish to thank all who helped us but especially
'fri.' kfcwis * or able assistance he gave us.
The most notable feature of the dav was the
absence of all loud noise. There was no scream
ing and yelling which so often is the case, which
disturbs the people for a radius of a half a mile
or more.
It would be well if -the people of Emporium
would copy from them. It is a deplorable fact
that the people from town will couie up the
Valley screaming and hollowing. They seem to
tnink that beCi*us6 we live in the country we
have no rights whatever, and some of the prom
inent young people of town do not .<top at that
but use abscene language and insult the citizens
by the vulgar talk. A lew Sundays ago even go
ing HO far as to drive to the church door and call
ing to and disturbing and {linturbing tae ones at
worship. If we goto town and get noisy we are
locked up, and the first ones who complain of us
are the ones who cause us the most annoyance.
The people are on the verge of a revolt and if
some of this is not stopped they will bedealtwith
according to law.
THE SENTIMENT OP THE PEOPLE.
Please Return.
Mrs. Lewis Conway requests the person who
took the white dove from off the basket of flow
ers on her husband's grave to return it imme
diately to the PRESS office.

Fatal Accident.
,„ t ' < ;l vi . 3 , Co J lway ' of this place, son of Mrs. Chas.
W, Hail, of Clear Creek, who lias been in the
employ of the Pennsy R. R., for several years as
night conductor in .Junction Yard, met with a
fatal accident, last Friday night while attend
ing to his duties, being caught between two cars
and knocked down, two cars running over hie
egs and crushing them so fearfully thatamputa
tion was useleas. He died about mid-night re
taining all his faculties until almost the last.
The sad sight, related to us by eye witnesses
must have been a fearfulordeal. Surrounded by
his wife and little children and mother, he em
braced and kissed each good bye. Our infor
mant, a great strong man, said the sight was
too much for him and he turned away in .sad
ness He was an industrious man and bore an
excellent reputation.
The funeral took place at St. Mark's Catholic
Church Monday morning at nine o'clock and was
very largely attended.

Western railroad companies are
rapidly discharging from their service

men to do the work which has been
done by Greeks, Italiansaud foreigners
of their class. Many hundreds of

Three Fiends.
The case of Frank Cornelia and
James and Maggie Lowers was taken
up Saturday morning and required the
entire day. Cornelia was charged
by Mary Lowers, aged 13 years, with
criminal assault, and James and Mag
gie Lowers were charged with being
accessories. D. J. Driscoll acted as
district attorney and Joseph S. Flynn
was counsel for the defense. May
Lowers said the offense was committed i
last January and that her father and j
step-mother held her. In the informa
tion first made it appeared that the
offense was committed in June and the
defendants showed they were work
ing at that time. A number of wit
nesses were heard and the case did
not goto the jury until late in the
afternoon. The jury returned a ver
dict of guilty and the three defendants
were each sentenced to 15 years in the

fly to left field, which Cummings
dropped, owing to running against
the fence, and their second and last
tally came in the third on a wild throw
by Eechbaugh, to third base. Fox
Benson, Stohr and Overturf, in the
inneld all payed a nice game. The
feature of the game was a squeeze play
pulled off by Pox and Stohl, which was
neatly worked. Taking everything in
to consideration the boys played a very
satisfactory game, and we hope they
may continue to win at least a majority
of the games during the remainder of
the season.
