On January Ist, 1906, when they went into office, there was a Bridge Bond debt of fourteen thousand, five hundred dollars, . $14,500.00 The present Commissioners have paid ten thousand dol lars of this debt 10,000.00 Leaving the balance of this debt, four thousand, five hundred dollars, $4,500.00 During their term of office they have built new Bridges and made repairs as'follows, all of which have been paid for in cash: New Bridges at Hicks and Hunts Run, 52 and 56 foot spans $1,933.86 New Bridge at Housler's farm, on Driftwood Branch, 102 foot, 3,901.09 New Bridge at Broad St., Emporium, I 50 foot span, 4,690.86 New Steel Joice and floors on Bridges at Driftwood Bor ough, Sterling Run, Cameron, Portage, (at East end of Em porium,) Emporium (at West end,), 3,709.21 Made other repairs on Bridges, 286.44 Total expenses on New Bridges and Repairs, . $ 14,52 1.46 In addition, during their term some heavy and unusual expendi tures have fallen upon the County, such as the legal proportion for ex tinguishing forest fires, building State Roads, and the trial and execu tion of Ora Odell for murder —the latter of which alone cost about three thousand ($3,000) dollars. The Court House Bonds falling due in 1912 amount to twenty thousand dollars, $20,000,00 For the redemption of which there is on hand eight thousand, four hundred and four dollars and twenty-six cents, 8,404.26 Leaving a balance to pay off the Court House Bonds, $1 1,595.74 It is also safe to assert that, outside of any unforseen and extra ordinary expenses, the balance of cash in the treasury, January I st, 1909, will equal if not exceed the amount on hand January Ist, 1906, when the present Board came into office. Having given the foregoing figures which can be easily vertified by any one who will take the trouble to do so, I desire to call attention to the following conclusions: I think it will be apparent at once that the present Board of Commissioners have at a time when labor and mater ial were at the highest point, shown marked ability in conducting the business and expenditures of the County upon such a very economical basis. Taking the record made by the present Board of Commissioners, as presented in the foregoing financial statement, may we not assume beyond much question that if they are continued in office another terpi they will succeed in practically freeing the County from debt, unless unfortunately some extraordinary expenses are thrown upon them, Don't you think it will be the part of wisdom for you to vote for and re-elect the present Board of County Commissioners? A HEAVY TAX PAYER. DEATH S DOINGS MITCHELTREE. Mrs. Polly Mitcheltree, nee Parker formerly of Gardeau, died at Keating Summit last Monday, aged (24 years. She left a husband and two small children to mourn her death. She was the only daughter of the late Noah Parker. | Republican Headquarters. | The Cameron County Republican I Clubs have fitted up very commodious | rooms in second floor of Library block.

Heilman wax called to Austin hospital last Sunday night for consultation in a very serious and com i plicated case. He made the trip, both ; | ways, in the night and says it was a | cold drive. Col. E. A. Irwin Dead. A telegram waß received at Empori- ! um on Tuesday, by Hon. Josiah How ard, announcing the death of Col. E. A. Irwin at Atlantic City. The fun eral will be held at Curwensville on Friday. While the death of this ex- 1 cellent gentleman, iB not unexpected his death is received with sadness by our citizens. Many an old Bucktail will remember their departed com mander with grief. Col. Irwin was a brave soldier, a truly good citizen fcind a kind husband and father. Left Emporium. Mr. John dubbins and family left Emporium on Tuesday for Arcade, N. Y., where Mr. Qubbins has rented a blacksmith shop. He sold his property to Mr. Adolph Martin, an engineer on Buffalo division of B. & A. V. R. R. Mr. G., has resided here for seven years and was one of our most useful citizens—quiet, industrious and strict ly honorable The PRESS which fol lows them to their now home, extends its best wishes and recommends this ex cellent family to the good people of Arcade We dislike very very much to have them leave us, but they willed it otherwise, possible for the best. Real Novelty Show in Emporium. A new wrinkle in the show line is promised Thursday and Friday uights, Oct. 22nd and 23rd, when "The Busi ness Men's Carnival" will be presented at the Opera House, under the auspices of Methodist Episcopal Church. The j cast of 300 of our youug people is now I in diligent rehearsal under the direc tion of Mrs. M. A. Harris. New and novel features galore are in store, so those who are in the secret say, and from the opening grand march to the closing skit, thes is not a dull minute. As to just what is to be done—well, I that would be telling, but we are at liberty to throw out just a hint or two. Poor Lawyer De Wolf, carried away the artful charms of a - fair opera Mger, forgets his fee; George Wash- Henry Clay, Thomas Jefferson, MacflKfaa Peters explains the duties of a to a livery stable;" the blacksmith decides he can't show a sAwhorse;.iho wary learn how to pro pose witlioijt. fears of breach of promise, and the poc(ftfl£ditor has trials enough with Sam, tqljjyicked office boy, and Miss Pipkins, unique poetess, to drive a to drink; in fact, laugh follows' ifttfgh so rapidly that you just get the habit,?«nd go home and laugh for weeks to come—thereby im proving both your tamper and your digestion. From this it will be seen that the carnival is a hodge-podgis of mirthi and melody, too. The very latest and most up-to-date songs, the biW of al the successful comic operas will be used, and if you don't know thenf now, you'll be whistling them all the nf%.t day. Vaudeville, of the most refined kind with every possible objectional feature removed is what the carnival is. Irish, German, English, Italian Spanish, Blackface and Farmer come dians quickly succeed each other in the drollest turns. But mirth isn't all, some very pretty and charming little domestic scenes are introduced, and some line tableaux or pictures" as beautiful as the other sketches are funny, are given. The lovers of the classical music, too, will not be disappointed, for they will hear some beautiful and appealing numbers. Everyone will be pleased' young and old. The production is being furthered i by our most progressive merchants, | for the carnival has a novel way ot j presenting their interests and marks the acme of artistic advertising. Tickets can be exchanged for reserv ed seats at Lloyd's news and station ery store on and after Monday, Oct. 19th. Erie Mail will stop at Sterling Run and Sinnamahoning both nights. New Candy Kitchen. I have installed a candy making out j fit and am putting out a line variety of I fresh home made candies. Wearegiv j ing our patrons the benellt of this and I selling our candies at a reduced price lof from 20 to 40 per cent. Our motto I "Purity and Cleanliness." Our candy ! kitchen open for public inspection at all times. J. B. MHISEL, Rockwell Block. Enjoyable Callers. Mr. M. J. McLaughlin and daughter Miss Margaret, of Chaffee, Pa., were, very pleasant PRESS callers this morn ing. Mrs. Dixon Improving. A private letter received from our friend G. T. Dixon, who resides at Westboro, Wis., inforhis the PRESS that Mrs. Dixon, who has been confin ed in St. Joseph Hospital, at Chippewa, Wiß., is rapidly improving. Her many friends in this section will be pleased to learn this good news. Rev. Schrlner to Preach. Rev. Wilford P. Shriner, D. D., of Lock Haven, Pa., and former pastor here, will preach next Sunday, both inorniDg and evening, in the First Methodist Episcopal church, of this city. To these special services of the day a cordial welcome is extended to all to be present. Took a Tumble. Rev. Mr. Robertson, Rector of Em manuel Church, on Monday, was thrown from his wheel at Howard Sid ing, aud shaken up and bruised. He was going at a good rate of speed when a worthless dog got mixed up in the gearing, throwing the Rev. gentleman with great force to the ground. He was considerably bruised on left shoulder and both knees—nothing very serious, however. Thos. Gal lagher had better be more careful (?) the next time that dog attacks his auto that he does not run it down for sure. Taken to the Hospital. Dr. H. S. Falk accompanied by Mr. Chas. H. Edwards, took Bert Edwards, who was severely injured last week, to the Williamsport hospital last Satur day, an operation having taken place the same evening. The injured young man was found to be in a dangerous condition and his mother, sisters and brother were called to Williamspcrt on Sunday—his father and mother re maining there with the patient. Dr. Falk believes the young man will re cover, unless something unfureeen sets in. We sincerely hope lie may speed ily recovery. LATER-DYING. A ti 'pgrani recelveJ at the family resideuce Sixth street, this noon, an nounces the sad intelligence that the young man is in a dying condition but may possibly live the day out Blanket Ballot. The Pit ESS jobbing department is busy preparing the blanket sheet elec tion ballots for November election. The ticket will be as large as a barn door. Every voter should carefully examine the sample ballot before marking their ticket. DON'T do AS some did four years ago and mark an X in the box in the presidential electors column after the President and Vice President's names. To be dead sure mark an X after the word "Republi can" in the first column, and no other place Don't spoil your ballot. Be sure of this. It is surprising how many men, who should know better kill their own vote by incorrectly marking their ballot. Ask the Repub ticao Watchers, who will beat each voting place. McDougall—Caton. Albert L. Caton and Miss Iva A. McDougall were married Wednesday morning at 10 o'clock, at Emmanuel S>pal Rectory. Miss Bessie Mc and'Mr. Joel Jordan were wit- TRe happy couple departed on oofy Flyer for Swannanoah, N. C., whereatr. Caton is in the employ of the MB Mitchell Lumber Co., in a clerical mpacity. The bride is the only daughter»of Mr. and Mrs. Alex. Mc- Dougall of; this place. She is a bright and lady and will no doubt made a truraelpmate for the husband of his chofflte. The groom was for some time erilfoloyed by the Adams Ex press Co., at ftiis place and was a faith ful clerk. The PRESS wishes them much happiness. "Hooligan's Troubles," The renowed Jim Dumps has never dared show his melancholy face since that popular cartoon comedy, "Hooli gan's Troubles," that comes to Em porim Opera House, on Saturday even ing, Oct. 17th, came into existence. He was cured by one visit, and has ever since hung his head in shame, j Like a new carpet, "Hooligan's j Troubles" can not be beaten. A laugh I in every line. Heavy Tax Payer, j In another column "Heavy Tax I Payer" has an interesting article on i the election of County Commissioners : and gives some logical reasons why the present board should be given another term. The board has certainly made an admirable record. Music Lessons. Miss Ida Seger desires to announce j I that she is now ready to teach Piano ! | Forte. Special attention given to be- j | ginners.
