Points Out the Failure of the Con- !

KANE, OCTOBER 21. —John O Sheatz
was enthusiastically greeted by a
large number of Republican party
workers and voters of the lower part
of McKean county at a mass meeting
here last evening. The gathering
was held in the Young Men's Chris
tian Association hall, which has a
seating capacity of about 600, but fully
800 were packed in the room. The
audience included many veterans of
the Civil war, and the chairman of
the meeting, Postmaster Lucius Rog
ers is one of the leading Grand Army
men in this vicinity.
In presenting Mr. Sheatz Chairman
Rogers stigmatized as "villainous
falsehoods" the assertions made in
the interest of the Democratic candi
date that Sheatz, as chairman of the
Appropriations committee of the
House at the last legislative session,
had loaded the veterans' pension bill
with a large appropriation so as to
insure its veto bv the Governor. He
appealed to all the old soldiers to
support Mr. Sheatz as a loyal Repub
lican and the "sincere friend of the
boys who wore the blue."
RECEIVED WITH ENTHUSIASM.
Mr. Sheatz was received with great
applause when he faced the audience.
He spoke in conversational style, re
lating the assurance that there was no
bargaining on his part in connection
with his nomination and that no one
had any authority to make any pledge
or promise to any man or any set of
men which he would in any way rec
ognize. "My only obligation, if I shall
be elected," he said, "will be to.the
people of the Keystone State, and that
obligation will be to give an honest,
upright and efficient administration of
the office."
In regard to the contention of State
Treasurer Berry and Democratic
Treasurer Candidate Harman that the
latter should be elected because a
Democrat Bhould be on the Board of
Public Grounds and Buildings at Har
risburg, Mr. Sheatz said that such an
argument was a reflection on Gover
nor Stuart and Auditor General
Young, or both. "It implies," he
1 said, "that either or both of these
J high officials are dishonest and it
; also suggests the idea that a board
composed of three Republican mem
-1 bers would not perform its duties
| properly. Such an insinuation is ab
j absurd on its face. If a Democrat is
! needed to act BB a check upon Gov
! ernor Stuart and Auditor General
i Young, then the reverse would be
true if these offices should happen to
I be occupied by Democrats, and 1 urn
J positive that if there was a Demo

Auditor General at Harrisburg
neither State Treasurer Berry nor
Candidate Harman would advocate
the election of a Republiceti to suc

Representatives E. E. Beldelman, of

According to its own honest confes
sion the time has been when the Inde
pendent hafl been hard put to it to find
any good to say for some of its own
candidates. By the same token it has
often been hard put to it to find any
thing to say against the Republican
candidates. A case in point this year
is Mr. John O. Sheatz, our nominee
for State Treasurer.

Apology.
This iseue of the Press is not up to
our usual variety cf news. Our fore
man has been called away on account
of death, while another employee has
a crippled finger, thereby putting us
"strictly up against it." We ask the
indulgence of our readers and patronß
for this issue. We hope to secure ad
ditional help in order to catch up with
the great amount of work now in our
jobbing department. Snch is life.

"Leah Kleschna."
"Leah Kleschna" has been acted over
seven bnndred times by Mrs. Fiske and
has never received any unfavorable
criticism. It took New York by storm
and was welcomed with a chorus of
praise that crowded the theatre for
months. The same record has been
made by the company that will appear
in "Leah Kleschna" at the Emporium
Opera House on Saturday evening,
Oct. 26th, which is also nnder Harrison
Qrey Fisk's management, and is said
everywhere to be of metropolitan ex
cellence and to give the greatest satis
faction. Its appearance here is a big
event and there will be a large demand
for seats when the sale opens on Oct.
24th.
The Campaign Closes.
On Tuesday, Nov. 5, the electors of
Cameron county will again declare
themselves in favor of the Republican
principles and its candidates. While
this is an off year there will no doubt
be a light vote, possibly not more than
one thousand in this county. Only
two condidates are in the field—Hon.
John O. Sheatz, for State Treasurer,
and Charles J. Howard for County
Treasurer. Both are entitled to your
votes and should have a rousing ma-,
jority in this county. Mr. Sheatz ac
companied by Hon. Charles F. Bar
clay and Hon. Josiah Howard
last week made a tour of McKean
county and addressed meetings at
Bradford, Smethport, Mt .Jewitt and
1 Kane. The fact was clearly demor
i strated that the old soldiers take no
j stock in the wail from the Fishing
, Creek Confederacy candidate Harman.
j The old boys in blue will make an X in
| the Republican box.
DEATH'S DOINGS
PYE.
MRS. SARAH ELIZABETH PYE, aged
56 years, wife of John S. Pye, of East
Allegheny Avenue, died at the family
residence last-Sunday after an illness
of several months, from a complication
of diseases. She was a great sufferer
and sought relief from specialists with
out any benefit. Deceased leaves a hus
band and nine children. Her funeral
took place from Presbyterian Church
on Tuesday afternoon, Rev. Johnson

Emporium for many years and have
the sympathy of many friends.

REV ELLA
Our townsman Mr. Thos. Gallagher,
on Monday received a telegram con
veying the sad intelligence that his
sister, Mrs. Eliza Revella, of Philadel
phia, passed away, after a long illness.
Mrs. R. was a visitor in Emporium
many tfmes, in fact was here two
weeks ago for a few days. Mr. Gal
lagher and niece, MISB Mazie, left for
Philadelphia Monday night, to attend
the funeral.
Cottage Hotel Leased.
County Treasurer John Cummings
informs the PRESS that he has rented
the Cottage Hotel—selling the furni
ture and stock—to Mr. Wm. Bente, of
Pittsburg. Pittsburgers seem to be
stuck on Emporium, this being the
third landlord to locate here within a
few months.
Happy Events.
One of the most pleasant events tbat
ever occured among the colored so
ciety of Emporium, took place at the
residence of Mr. and Mrs. Dorsey,
East Allegan)' avenue, last Friday
evening, when Mrs. W. H. Brady as
sisted by Miss Annitta Dorsey, ten
dered them a surprise party in honor
of the twenty-second year of their
married life. The dining room was
beautifully decorated in pink and
white, long streamers of pink ribbon
extending from the chandelier down
to the table on all sides, forming a
grand scene for all present. A center
piece of flowers, autumn leaves and
all the fruits of the season. An elabo
ate supper was served by Mrs. Brady,
and while the happy family were seat
ed around the table, Mrs. Brady read
a poem of her own composition entitled
"Twenty-two Years Ago To-Day." Mr.
and Mrs. Dorsey were the recipients of
many beautiful presents that will help
them to remember the happy hours of
that evening. They retired at a late
hour, thanking God for the many bles
sings he had bestowed upon them
during the years of their married life.
XXX
Teachers Institute.
The very successful session of Cam
eron County Teachers' Institute closes
to morrow morning. Each session has
been one of interest to all who were
fortunate enough to be present. The
instructors—Dr. S. D. Pess, Dr. S. C
Schumucher, Prof. H. F. Stauffer, Mr.
W. H. Schoff, Dr. Henry R. Rose, Dr.
Flickinger and Prof. C. E. Plasterer—
stand with the most able ever enjoyed
by our Institutes. Miss Collins chose
carefully when she engaged such
talent. The evening entertainments
were very pleasing and attracted very
large audiences.
The Monday evening entertainment
at the Opera House was the Boston
Concert Company. The reader, Miss
Pooler, was without doubt the favorite
with the immense audience. The first
number entitled, "Miss. Civilization,"
by Richard Harding Davis, was en
thusiasticallyapplauded, as was also the
other selections given. Miss Carmen
Maclntyre, the violinist and sopranist,
showed remarkable skill and talent in
her recitals. Each number rendered
was thoroughly enjoyed and highly
appreciated. Mr. Leon C. Batchelder,
Flute and Piccolo player, surprised the
large audienee by his wonderful skill
on these instruments. After each num
ber he was recalled and responded to
the hearty encores most graciously.
He's a genuine treat. Miss Elsie Phe
lan, piano accompanist, filled in her
part of the program, in a most pleasing
manner. Her number, "Piano Solo
and Songs" was heartily applaQded
and she acknowleged the encore in a
gracious manner. Her easy matter of
fact style captured her listeners.
. Dr. S. D. Fess Tuesday evening, on
"Humanity of Lincoln" was a treat.
We have listened to some of the ablest
platform orators but never was we so
completely captured as we were Tues
day evening when Dr. Fess described
Lincoln. Grand beyond description.
Wednesday evening, Dr. Henry R.
Rose, gave illustrated lecture "Parsi
fal." It was fine and elevating.
This evening "The Royal Gypsy Con
cert Company" will close the evening
session. The Company will no doubt
have a crowded house.

Did you Ever Receive Higher
Wages.
Snyder County "Tribune."
"The election in Snyder County this
fall will be an unusually quiet one,
owing to the fact that we have no local
ticket and hence will have no excite
ment. It is highly important that
every voter in Snyder County who be
lieves in the success of Republican
principles should attend the election,
Tuesday, November stb.
"Farmers, did you ever have better
times? Laborers and mechanics did
you ever receive higher wages than at
present? If this is true, why change?
You should remember your past ex
periences in the matter of a change in
administrations. At this time, when
the tariff question is being agitated, it
is bad policy for Pennsylvania to halt
or hesitate on the issues. Let us pol!
the full Republican vote in Snyder."
At Emporium Opera House.
Harrison Grey Fiske's "Leah Klesch
na" company, that comes to the Em
porium Opera House on Saturday
evening, has been playing a number
of towns hereabout and it is said every
where to be the best attraction seen in
years, if ever before. There is no mis
representation about the performance,
which is tremendously dramatic and
splendidly acted. HarrisonGreyFiske,
under whose management the play was
produced when Mrs. Fiske acted it for
six months in New York and for three
seasons in other cities, is also the
manager for this company. The qual
ity of the performance of "Leah
Kieschna" shows what a difference it
makes when one of thebigmetropolitau
, managers sends a play out under his
| own name, he cannot afford to have his
j reputation suffer by an inferior attrac
tion. The company is just as good as
, those seen in New York; and all the
j scenery, costumes and properties are
CErried. Mr. Fisko is the first mana*
| ger to send companies to the one uight
stands and if other managers wouU.
1 follow his example tliey would get just,
as crowded houses as in the big cities.
No one who wants to see a realy lirst
class performance of a thrilling modern
play should miss "Leah Kieschna."
