IN CAMEKON COUNTY. Former Jefferson County Teacher Seeks County Superintend ency. The people of Jefferson county will learn with pleasure that Prof.' D. B. Peterson is making a strong light for the superintendency of the public schools of Cameron county. Prof. Feterson was principal of the schools of Summerville for four years and during that time showed himself to be an instructor of more than ordin ary ability and a gentleman in every sense of the word. Prof. Peterson is only another example of those who refuse to sit down aud wait for opportunities to come to them. He was born on a farm in Huntingdon county, his father being descended from the Scotch-Irish who early set tled there and his mother from Ma jor Cliiggage, of Revolutionary fame Like all farm boys, what he got he had to hustle for. Working on a saw mill he earned enough money to attend the village academy and then taught school in the winter and worked on his father's farm until he PROF. I). It. PETERSON. was twenty-one. Being of an en ergetic disposition he did not remain long in the provisional certificate class and the year 189t> found him among those who graduated from the Cumberland Valley Stato Normal at Shippensburg. Since then he had been to Grove City, made a special study of history and nearly com pleted a four years' correspondent's course at Scranton Business College. Mr. Peterson is one of the finest penmen that ever taught in Jefferson county and while at Summerville served as Secretary of tho Jefferson County Principal's Association. Sev eral years ago Mr Peterson went to Cameron county, where he married Miss Gertrude Potter, of Cameron. In all Prof. Peterson has taught fourteen years and hits never failed to leave the salary higher than he found it. When his educational ability, his sterling honesty and up rightness of character, his skill as an organizer and his comprehensive grasp of everything relating to school work are taken into consideration, ; the hustling citizens of Cameron county can indeed be congratulated if they succeed in putting him at the head of their schools.—Brookville Republican. Representative Barclay Busy. The Washington correspondent of the Philadelphia Press, on Monday writes to his paper, giving an account of the lively preparation for the entertainment to be tendered United Senator Knox last evening. The cor respondent pays the following refer ence to our energetic Representative: "Representative Barclay, of Sinna mahoning, is an old soldier, is a mem ber of the Pensions Committee, and as ouch, is besieged these days by old sol diers' widows to know how the bill in creasing their pensions to sl2 a month is coming along The prize letter on this subject was received by him a day or two ago. It was written by an "old maid," at least she styled herself one, and inquired earnestly as to the pros pect ofthe new pension bill becoming a law. Her interest, she naively explained, arose from the fact that there was an old soldier in her neighborhood who wanted to marry her and its he was in poor health she was inclined to accept him if she was sure that the Senate amendment making the bill apply to all widows, whether they were married twenty years ago or twenty hours after the passage of the law. Her let ter is now on file with the Pension Committee. When the constituents of a Pennsyl vania Congressman indicate their in tention to keep him here during good behavior, he is apt to look about for a permanent Washington home. Some times this desire for a home in the national oapitol seizes members who are not sure of being returned. Some of the handsomest homes in the city are those built or purchased by Pennsyl vania Congressmen." "Liberty and Union, One and Inseparable."— WEßSTEß. EMPORIUM, PA., THURSDAY, MARCH 26, 1908. M ore Republican Candidates. Since our last reference to the can didates for county office announcing their candidacy, two more have placed their bow to the public in the columns of the PRESS and may be found in the political column. Mr. Marcus Lucore, who is a candi date for the Republican nomination for Member of Assembly, is an exemplary young man and popular with all who know him. He is a native of this county, being born in Portage town ship. He is the eldest son of the late Lemuel Lucore, who served the county as County Commissioner for three years, faithfully and well. We have known this candidate all bis life and respect him very much. Should he be nominated we could support him cheer fully for he lias always been a consist ent Republican, and if rot nominated, we believe will certainly support his< opponent, Hon. Josiah Howard. .Give the young man a fair show, this being his first venture in the political arena. Another candidate for sheriff' has shied his challenge into the middle of the ring. Anson O. Swartwood, for merly of Shippen township, but for several years a resident of Emporium, came to Cameron county in June, 1873 from Broome county, N. Y. He served in the union army for two years, after being rejected twice on account of the loss of one finger. Nothing daunted he insisted on a full examination and demonstrated to the examining board that he could handle any old gun and was told to get his "duds." "Ans" is now serving as deputy sheriff and and hopes to manage his own cam paign, treat all competitors gentleman ly and get there if it is in the wood by the aid of his many warm supporters at the Primary on the llth of April. Knox Solid in Pennsylvania. WASHINGTON, March 24—(Special)— Pennsylvania is solid for Knox. There has been no break in the lines and will be none. A complimentary reference to Secretary Taft at a Yale banquet in this city a few days ago, made by Rep resentative John Dalzell, of Pittsburgh, was construted by some of the follow ers of Taft its a dash for the Taft band wagon by the Knox supporters. It was heralded 111 some quarters as a desertion from the Knox camp. But the following day Mr. Dal/ell repudiated this construction of his speech and made a statement that left no doubt as to where he stands. He said: •'I did not use the language the news papers have published. The utmost that can be said of any reference that I made to Secretary Taft as a presiden tial candidate was that if he should happen to be nominated and elected by the people, it would be a source of pride to Yale University and Yale men, I expect togo as a delegate to the national convention in the interest of Senator Knox. Peunsylvaania has no other choice that Senator Knox for the presidency." The misconstruction that was placed upon the speech of Mr. Dalzell has aroused the ire of the Knox support ers and has made them more determin ed than ever to do everything in their power to bring about the nomination of their candidate. Knox clubs are being formed and the work from now on will be pushed in earnest. This work will be along the lines that Sena tor Knox's friends have followed irom the start, endeavoring to inform the people of his record and his views up on public questions in order to show his fitness for the position. The Knox campaign has been one of education. It has not resorted to bluff and bluster and its appeal has been made to the in tellect of the people. A Full House. Every available seat at the Court House was occupied on Friday even ing when Hon. S. B. Elliott gave his lecture on Forestry. The lecture was illustrated by means of a stereoptican owned and operated by Prof. A. INI i Hammers, of Punxsutawney, Pa. A j strong appeal was made for systematic I re-foresting and forest preservation I and the audience was interested from j start to finish. Popular Medical Journal. The publication of the Columbus j Medical Journal has been resumed by ! Dr. C. S. Cara, the Dr., having with- ! drawn from the combination of several journals in which this journal was a factor. It is undoubtedly a boon to ; any home to have this journal on its j readiug table. Dr. Carr is a sincere j and conscientious writer, and besides that the information contained in each number is worth many times the sub scription price. Drop a line for a free sample copy to Dr. C.

There are many superstitions in con nection with Easter, and each country has a custom ot celebrating it to itself, but while each varies, they all unite to observe the spirit of Spring time, and all Christians rejoice that the Lord of life forever won victory over death. Among the many quaint superstitions is the old Aryan one which typifies the return of the sun of Springtime by a golden egg—eggs being distributed at the early equinos by priests to strengthen the hopes of the people that the bleak, cold days of Winter might soon cease and a brighter time ensue. The Persians believed that the earth was hatched from an immense egg on Easter morning; the Aryans also be lieved the sun to be a largo golden egg which was constantly rolling nearer to the earth. With the Jews, says the April De lineator, the egg became a type of their re-iue from the land of bondage, and in their Feast of the Passover, eggs oc cupied a conspicuous place in the ser vice. It was their connection with the latter that finally caused them to be used by Christians the world over 111 celebrating Easter—the egg of resur rection into a new life, bringing a mes sage of life from death, as it. wore. The Tyrolese Easter egg is similar to our valentine, for besides being most beautifully tinted they have, in unique lettering, mottoes representing appro priate wishes lor the recipient. The priests of Italy bless all eggs brought to service on Easter morning, and each person carries his back home, where they are placed on a kind of altar arranged for the purpose, sur rounded by lighted candles and often flowers; then each member of the family and any guests abiding with them, eat one of these holy eggs as a safeguard against disease and danger. They are hard-boiled before being taken to church. Emporiumites in Panama. Miraflores has been made the scene of much pleasant joking, as the place from which most Canal people say they want to be far away but to the boys of the Culebra Sunday School it proved tho scene of one of their most enjoyable Isthmian Outings. 011 Washington's Birthday the Sun day school held a picnic. So that the day might be different in every way from the usual excursion the special train arranged for the occasion was run through the Culebra Cut instead of on the main line of the Panama rail road. Leaving the old Panama rail road station at 8:30 a. 111., the train was run to Empire, switched down into the Cut and travelled over the Cut tracks to Pedr) Miguel. From there it was run on the main line to Miraflores, where the boys left the train and walk ed about half a mile to the little know, but beautiful orange and cocoanut grove. The secretary of the Sunday school, Mr. Souls, and his asssistant, Mr. Roper attended to the transfer of the provisions from the train to the grove. According to Harold L. Brooke and Clarence F. Rowland, the boys were fully occupied while the Secretary %vas attending to the luncheon. They thoroughly explored the grove and "after the boys had climbed and robbed the orange trees," Miss Myrtle Row land and Miss Ethel Day prepared dinner for all. After the dinner was over and everybody was so full they could hardly walk, the races took place. After the races the boys went swimming in a nearby creek. For their party of about one hun dred people the grove visited by the Culebra boys made a desireable picnic ground and everyone in the party re ports having had a good time. " *" Announcement.

President Roosevelt sent a letter to j Representative Lilley this whose I charges against the Eletftopc pany are being investigated by- House, in which he emphatically states' that ho had not authorized J. F. C. Archibald formerly a war correspon- j dent, to make an investigation of sub- I marine defenses on the Pacific coast, j The letter was sent to Mr. Lilley in i reply to a statement made by him that! he had received an affidavit from Cle ment E. Adams, of Bridgeport, Conn., I to the effect that Mr. Archibald had, in j 1906 represented himself as a war cor- j respondent for (Jollier's Weekly and , that he had been appointed to visit the Pacific Coast and report the condition of the coast defenses j there. Both the Adams affidavit and , the President's letter of denial were j presented to the Boutell investigating j committee. The legislative programme which President Roosevelt vigorously recom mended in his special message of Janu ary 31, and will repeat in an epitome of that communication, is said to be seri ously threatened by what is claimed to be the excessive demands of organized labor. The slate as arranged by Re publican leaders of the Senate and House has been broken, and a new schedule of favored measures must be drawn. Senators Aldrieh, Allison and Hale have had several conferences with Speaker Cannon on this perplex ing problem. It is understood t|iat the President has absolutely declined to sanction the demands of the labor or ganizations that tho Sherman anti trust act must mention them by name as exempt from its povisions, and must contain a clause giving them the right to utilize the bojeott in dealing with their enemies. The Senate leaders and Speaker Cannon concurred in the views of the President, and no such sweeping recognition of labor will be permitted. It wonld be equivalent to class legislation of the most pronounc ed type. The indorsement of Senator William B. Allison by the lowa State Conven tion, on Wednesday last, was the source of much gratification to Sena tors, regardless of party. There is scarcely a man in the body who has not deprecated the fight that has been made on this veteran Senator with the object of retiring him to private life after almost half a century of labor in the public service, Senator Allison has served in the Senate for thirty five years, and was a member of the House for eight years before coming to the Senate, and 110 man in public life to day has had a more honorable career. As chairman of the Senate Committee on Appropriations he holds a com manding place in that body. His present term expires March 3, next, and his colleagues, regardless of party, hope that he will live to serve many more years. Tne House Committee on Appropria tions has decided not to report a bill appropriating §1,000,000 fer the relief of the survivors of the Slocum steam boat disaster, declaring that the claim has no foundation either in law, equity or precedent. "The Arrival of Kitty." Dainty Florence Forrest, the pretty actress in the comedy success "The Ar rival of Kitty', which is soon to be seen here is uncommonly superstitious, not withstanding her eminence as a song bird. A belief in the efficacy of mas cots takes the form in Miss Forrest's case of wearing jewelled four-leaf clover pins. The little actress has no less than sixteen of these emblems of good luck, presents to her from friends. Miss Forrest's superstition also takes another form of being more than or dinarily superstitions in the matter of her dresses. While most woman-folk believe it good enough fortune to have a modest variety of gowns, Miss For rest insists upon having two different sets of dresses for exclusive use in the comedy success "The Arrival ofKitty," in which she is one of the foremost members.

Pressing business engagements in Emporium prevented Hon. Josiah Howard, who was invited to the recep tion tendered United States Senator Knox, at Washington, D. C., last even ing.

Mr. Howard is also invited to the banquet to be given April 4th, 1908, to State Treasurer elect, Hon. John O. Sheatz. Home Again. Hon.
