Olean Times, Oct. 6th. At Emporium Opera House, Monday evening, Oct. 14. Erie Flyer Wrecked. On Sunday morning the P. &. E. Flyer, west bound, was wrecked be tween Kane and Johnsonburg, caused by a broken rail. The engine, owing to its great speed, passed over the broken rail safely, but the baggage car and passenger coaches broke from the engine and piled up against the bank. A few of the passengers were slightly injured by the flying glass. It took most all day to clean up the wreck. Engineer Jas. Collige, who was so severely injured in the wreck at Sterl ing Run, had charge of this train but fortunately escaped. He visit«d in Emporium on Sunday. Afflicted Ridgway. Our former citizen, A. H.

Three of Mr. Shaffer's children were taken down, one yet being confined to his bed. During the epidemic as many as three hundred nurses were in constant ser vice. The worst has now passed, it is thought. Block the Way of Tariff Tinkers. The Scranton " Republican " editori ally referring to the necessity of elect ing a Republican State Treasurer this year, on the eve of a Presidential elec then, sounds this warning, viz: " Pennsylvania must block the way of the tariff tinkers, who would, in the face of a Presidential campaign, pos sibly wreck the Republican Party by ! recklesss revenue revision. * * * i Nothing Bhould be done at this time | in a matter of such peril to the party i in power, particularly as there is no I great demand for tariff changes on the ! part of the people, the clamoring being largely done by the politicians. The industries of Pennsylvania have ; too much at stake to look with com ! placency upon any movement having a change of the tariff as its object. | The opening of the door to the slight est degree would inaugurate a period ; of douot and uncertainty which would be reflected in the utter demoraliza ' tion of Pennsylvania industries. * * "If the Republicans succeed in the next Presidential election, and there i is every indication that they will, then they may go about tariff revision with out causing public hysteria, because it is realized that with the "Grand Old Party" in control only such schedules will be changed as are demanded by altered conditions. But if the door is ! thrown wide open on the brink of a | Presidential campaign, who knows what it will lead to or what the ulti l mate results will be." "Liberty and Union, One and Inseparable." —WEßSTEß. EMPORIUM, PA., THURSDAY, OCTOBER 10, 1907. A Generous Gift. Our townsman, Mr. Geo. Metzger, Sr., recently purchased and presented to Randolph-Macon Wonan's College, Lynchburg, Va., a memorial window to the memory of hi* daughter, Anna B. Metzger.

The memorial service held in the chapel of the Randolph-Woman's Col lege yesterday morning in honor of the late Miss Anna B. Metzger was of a most touching character. The exer cises included the singing of Miss Metzger's favorite hymn, "Jesus Sa viour Pilot Me," and a short pulogy delivered by Chancellor W. W. Smith. Dr. Smith spoke of Miss Metzger's entrance upon her work at the College, of the brilliant record that she made, and ol the deep impression that she left on the college life. He especially dwelt upon her distinguished success as a musician and of the high regard in which she was held by all who knew her. At the close of Dr. Smith's remarks, the beautiful stained glass window in the rear of the chapel, placed there in momory of Miss Metzger, was un veiled. A number of Miss Metgzer's friends from the city attended the exercises.— Lynchburg, Va., News. NOTES OF INTEREST- Itch cured in 30 minutes by Wood ford's Sanitary Lotion. Never fails. Sold by L.

As a dialect oharacter "Ole Olson" is a decided success. The speech of the Swede is one that lends itself readily to comedy use and the way that the English language gets tangled up is de cidedly amusing. The company that will beat the Emporium Opera House, Oct. 14th, is large and well balanced and is made up of a group of well known favorites. During the perform ance a number of very pleasing and entertaining specialties will be intro duced. Friendly Aid. Under the auspices of Mrs. E. M. Newton, a girls Friendly Society was organized at the New Warner on Satur day evening, the sth inst.

"Ole Olson" a play that haa long been a favorite with theater goes will be at the Emporium Opera House, Oct. 14th. "Ole Olson" is one of the best Swedish dialect comedies and possesses all the charms of originality.

Jr., left this morning for Kayville, Wash., where they will invest in a lumber industry. The purchase is about forty miles weet of Pitchuck, where Jas. L. Norie is located. For the Stone Crusher. Judging from the legal "ad" in anoth er column, published by the State Fores try Commission, it looks as though the B. & S. It. R., are after state land rock to teed their stone crusher. There is no scarcity ol rock in that section. Big Hit. M. B. Raymond's big attraction, the "Lunatic and the Lady" at the opera house, last night filled that large house. The company pleased the audience and made a big hit. Encore upon encore was accorded them. ''Good," "good" was the unanimous opinion. Crushed to Death.

"Age cannot wither nor custom stale" the attractions possessed by that beat of Swedish dialect plays, "Ole Olson." Year in and year out, for more than a decade "Ole" has been presented to the Theatre going public and its popularity has never waned. Other Swedish characters have come upon the scene, but none of them can vie with "Olson" in the regard of the public, and it stands unique in its line like Rip Van Widkle and Uncle Joshua Whitcomb.

"The contest for State Treasurer this fall is but the preliminary skirmish to the great Presdential battle to be fought in 1908. In view of the fact that a decided sentiment is being creat ed in the New England States and in some portions of the West in favor of tariff revision, it m»st be apparent to any citizen of Pennsylvania possessing average intelligence, that he makes no mistake when he advocates the con. ducting of the campaign on the 'stand pat' tariff policy."—Snyder County "News."
