were chosen, there was the usual lottery
of seats and the house a d journtd out of
respect to the memory oY Representa

Many from this Congressional Dis

ing of tho session, out of respect to
Hon. Charles F. Barclay, the first Con
gressman ever elected from Cameron
county, now a part of the district, com
posed of Clearfield, Centre, MoKea n

Big Department Store.
Richard Kuehne, proprietor of the
Buffalo Department Store in the new
W. H. Cramer Brick Block, is rapidly
forging ahead with a class of goods
never before offered the citizens of
this county. They are not here to
knock the old stores but rather to aid
in building up a healthy trade, keep
the trade at home and build up a
profitable home business. In unity
there is strength.
The President's Message.
President Roosevelt in his message
to the Sixtieth congress did not urge
any haste in legislation, but recom
mended a new currency law, the pay
ment of presidential campaign expenses
by the government, a greater army
and navy with at least four battleships
to be built during the coming year, the
legalizing of railroad pools when ap
proved by tho int< rstate commerce
commission, the punishment of dishon
est men whether tnillionairs or not.
American firmness but not obstrusive
ness in foreign affairs and the placing
of corporations doing an interstate
business under national control. He
especially disavowed any desire to
amend the Constitution or the central
ization of power that would conflict
with the present constitutional provis
ions.

kids can make, but he enjoyed the
sight just the same. Miss Helen was
assisted by her sister, Miss Edna and
brother John, who was the main
"push" of the afternoon. To say that
Miss Helen was happy would be put
ting it mildly. She was the recipient
of many handsome presents. The
following guests were present: Edna
Friendel, John Friendel, Ruth Pear
sail, Hazel Farrell, Kathryne Furgu

George F. Hali.
One of the cleverst comedians who
visits Emporium is George F. Hall,who
will be remembered by his past per
formances in The American Gir), An
American Hustler, A Ragged Hero and
The Gibson Girl, will be seen at the
Emporium Opera House, Saturday
evening, Dec. 7th, in the brand new
musical farce "I'm Married Now" and
it is said to afford him wide latitude to
show his ability as a fun maker.
"The Heart of Maryland."
The visit to this city of David Belas
co's vividly realistic and romantic
idyl of love and war, "The Heart of
Maryland," will occur on Friday even
ing, Dec. 20, at Emporium Opera
House. The story of ' The Heart of
Maryland" is simply a life history, an
epic which appeals to every human
understanding and so wins its place in
the popular heart. The locality where
its events are supposed to occur vivid
ly recall the traditions of our old colon
ial days and deftly blend the history of
the past with tho stirring realism of the
present time. It is illuminated by the
unfading radiance of a woman's love
and undaunted heroism in behalf of
the man she adores.
Departed for Florida.
Miss Margaret Montgomery ent§-
tained a number of her friends at her
home on Sixth street, Tuesday evening,

parted on midnight Flyer for Pierson,
Florida, to spend the winter with
friends.
