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. Shaffer, of
Ridgway, was a PRESS visitor on Mon
day, the first time he has been able to
leave his home since Ridgway was af
flicted with.the terrible scourge of fever,
hundreds of homes being in the grip of
the terrible monster. 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."

RANDOLPH-MACON WOMAN'S]
COLLEGE,
College Park, Lynchburg, Va. J
MR. GEORGE METZGER, SR.,
Emporium, Pa.
My Dear Mr. Metzger:
The window came on Saturday and

iol service and unveiling of the win
dow.

visit us some time soon, not only to see
this memorial of our dear friend, but
also to let ua show our appreciation of
your own generosity in this gift. It
stands where all students assemble

ations of young woman who pass
through our halls will receive an uplift
from this beautiful testimonial to high
ability, broad sympathy, and inspiring
enthusiasm, which madeyonr daughter
a felt force in all the work of our Col
lege.
Verv truly yours,
WM. W. SMITH.
A TOUCHING SERVICE TO THE MEMORY
OF THE LATE MISS ANNA B. METZ
GER.
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.—

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. The follow
ing officers were unanimausely elected:
President, Miss Nina Bryan; Treasur
er, Miss Encie Howard, Secretary, Miss
Alice Montgomery.
"Ole Olson" Coming.
"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. In place
of the yodling German, there is in this
truthful depiction of Anglo-Swedish
character, an honest, big-hearted im
migrant, who is shown in a natural
manner.

The purchase is about forty miles weet

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.
Last Thursday evening David Sloppy,
aged about 52, whose family reside at
Coryville, Pa., was working under a car
that was "jacked up" when a yard engine
bumped into the ear. The car crushed the
life out of Sloppy. Deceased leaves a
large family. His funeral took place
Sunday afternoon from the residence of
his son, on Plank Road Hollow.
Big Masonic Meet.
Emporium Lodge, No. 382, A. Y. M.,

"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. "Ole" will be presented
attbe Emporium Opera House, Oct.
14th. The company is the same that
has presented the play this season in
New York, Brooklyn, Boston, St.
Louis and other cities.

"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

some portions of the West in favor of
tariff revision, it m»st be apparent to
any citizen of Pennsylvania possessing
