Good Advice Regarding the Prevent
ion of Coughs and Colds.
If people would only properly fortify
and strengthen their system, about 90
per cent, of coughs, colds and pneu
monia might be avoided. These
troubles are simply the result of weak
ness, which produces a catarrhal con
dition of the mucous membrane, which
is as an internal skin of the body.
When this skin is weakened, it becomes
infected with germs which are carried
through the system by the blood.
These parasites attack and break these
delicate tissues and set up a soreness
which produce what is in reality an ex
ternal scrofula.
The only thing that will cure coughs
and colds and prevent pneumonia is
a medication which is absored and
carried by the blood so that the dis
eased membrane is disinfected, clean
ed, soothed and healed.
We have a remedy which we honest
ly believe infallable and unsurpassable
for the prevention and cure of coughs,
colds and all catarrhal condition. It
is the prescription of a famous physic
ian, who has an enviable reputation of
30 years of cures gained through the
use of this medicine. We promise to
either effect a cure in every case or
make no charge for the medicine. We
urge everybody in Emporium who has
need of such a medicine to try Rexall
Mucu-Tone.
It stands to reason that we could not
afford to make such statements and
give our own personal guarantee to
this remedy it we were not absolutely
positive that we could substantiate our
claim in every particular, and we see
no reason why anyone should hesitate
to accept our offer and try it. We
have two sizes of Rexall Mucu-Tone.
Prices 50c and SIOO. Sometimes a 50c
bottle is sufficient for a cure. J a
general thing, the most chronic \se
is cured with an average of three 1 rge
bottles. Remember, the medicine vill
cost you nothing if you are not satis
fied in every particular. Mrs. M. A.
Rockwell, Emporium, Pa.
Mince Pies Like Mother Made.
Chop fine two pounds of cold boiled
lean beef and mince to a powder a
pound of beef kidney suet, sprinkling
it with flour if it seems disposed to
stick. Seed and cut in half two pounds
of raisins, and wash and pick over
carefully a pound of sultana raisins
and two pounds of cleansed currants.
Be sure that they are free from grit
and dirt before you let them out of
your hands. Peel and chop five pounds
of apples, and shred three-quarters of
a pound of citron. Mix these all to
gether, with two tablespoonfuls each
of mace and cinnamon, a tablespoonful
each of allspice and cloves, a teaspoon
ful of grated nutmeg, two and a half
pounds of brown sugar and a table
spoonful of salt. Put with them a
quart of sherry and a pint of brandy
and pack in a stone crock. If you do
not use either of these liquors put cider
in its place. The mince meat should
mellow for a week at least, or better,
two or three, before it is used. When
it is made up it would not be the pie
of my childhood or family tradition if
it were not baked in and open crust
with strips of paste, the edges zigzagg
ed by a "jigging iron," laid lattice
pattern across the top. In my younger
days I thought all mince pies were
born so, as it were, and although 1
have since then eaten good mince pies
with solid top crusts they never taste
quite as they should, They lack the
criss-cross top—-The December Delin
oator.
"A Pair of Country Kids."
We have all enjoyed Uncle Josh and
Si and all the other old and ancient
crop of country characters who come
to the city to get buncoed and incident
lo purchase a carpet sack full of hay
from a gentleman in a large checkered
suit and a fierce black mustache.
These scenes and characters have be
come as familiar te us as "Uncle Tom's
Cabin." It is therefore with pleasure
that Manager Butler announces the
coming of an entirely new rural play
that is a novelty and with its principal
interest in a pair of up-to-date country
youngsters who mauage to present an
evening of lively amusement in their
wildest and fondest hopes "A Pair of
Country Kids" will give you more en
joyment for your money than any of
this class of entertainments. At I3m

Hot Shot From Driftwood.
Editor Pre*a:—
The attempt of the Elk County Gang
to extend their operations to Cameron
county on Tuesday, Nov. 3d, was not a
howling success, for which we owe our
thanks to the many honest Democrats,
as the whiskey element of the Republi
can party fell in with the gang and
tried by any means, fair.or foul, to win
out. If they are satisfied with the po
sition they have taken, so be it, as
there are enough decent men in the
two parties to put the bug on them at
any time. As eternal vigilence is the
price of liberty we should be on our
guard at all times and ready to meet
them. The election of Judge Wykoff
was the most refreshing incident of
the day. Really it should never have
been a matter of doubt, for when the
distinctively bad element of a commu
nity line up against a candidate for
public office it is certain to be demon
strated that the decent element are not
only far is more numerous but that it is
entirely capable of taking care of itself.
REPUBLICAN.
Driftwood, Pa., Nov. 10th, 1908.
Tremendous Sacrifice Saie.
The attention of our readers is
directed to the full page advertisement
of Mr. Jasper Harris, the energetic
Fourth street Clothier. His immense
stock of fresh goods, ordered before
the business depression struck our
country (now happily rapidly disap
pearing) and rather than carry over
any of these goods has made a deep cut
to the core in all departments. His
great sale commences on the 15th of
November and lasts for fifteen days.
Read bis big advertisement in this is
sue and note the bargains. Mr. Harris
word is always good.
The Speakership Contest.
Several candidates have shied their
castors into the field for Speaker of
Pennsylvania Legislature. According
to the Philadelphia dailies the number
of candidates already favorably men.
tioned only four or five gentlemen are
seriously considered as available, or
standing a ghost of a show against
Speaker McClain. We are pleased to
note that Hon. Josiah Howard, of Cam
eron county, without any effort of his
part, has been very favorably com
mented upon as a candidate for Speak
er because of his fair and honorable
record, strict business principles and
ability, thereby making b':n an ideal
candidate for the business and material
interests of the state. We do not know
that Mr. Howard is itching for the
Speakership but it the Representatives
of Pennsylvania elect him they can rest
assured that his conduct of the posi
tion will be for the good of the entire
State.
Good Cigar on Hockley.
We enjoyed an elegant good ten cent
cigar on Taft's election, at the expense
of Editor Hockley, who wagered a box
on Bryan with our sedate friend
Kueline, and lost of course. Mr.
Kuehne enjoys a good smoke as much
as we do.
Official Congressional Vote.
The Return Judges of this (21st)

EMPORIUM, PA., THURSDAY. NOVEMBER 12, 1908.
First Anniversary at R. Kuehnc's
Great Store.
One year ogo last Friday Mr. R. t
Kuehne came to Emporium and estab
lished, in the new and handsome brick (
block, erected by our townsman, Mr. j
W. H. Cramer, an establishment that |
is a great credit to Mr. Kuebne and an
honor to our county, as well as Em
porium From the first week of its
establishment our citizens were pro
fuse in their praise and welcomed an
up-to date merchant, as Mr. Kuehne
has proven himself to be. He has
labored zealously lor the up-building
of our town and encouraged other
merchants to brush up. He is no
"knocker" and has the good-will of all
citizens. The Anniversary Sale, last
Friday and Saturday attracted throngs
of our citizens to Emporium's Greatest |
Store, which was appropriately decor
ated for the occasion. Many were the
compliments bestowed onthis enterpris
ing merchant and hearty good wishes
for the future prospeaity of this
popular store, the pride of Cameron
county.
Sudden Death of B. Frank Hall.
The Philadelphia papers yesterday
morning, announce that during a spell
of temporary melancholy, resulting
from the effects of sun-stroke several
months ago, Mr. B. Frank Hall, of St.
Marys shot and Instantly killed himself
on the train, Tuesday evening, when
near Lancaster, Pa.
He had been acting strangely for
several days, at his home at St. Marys,
when Judge Harry Hall asked
him to take a trip with him to Phila
delphia, thinking to place him in a
sanitarium, under the care of a special
ist.
They had just returned from supper
in the dining car, after the train had
passed Lancaster and passed into the
smoking room of the chair car and lit
their cigars. Frank excused himself
to the Judge and stepped into the
toilet room and locked the door. In
stantly pistol shots were heard and
Judge Hall quickly broke open the
door, only to find that bis brother was
dead. Deceased was well known in
Emporium, having visited here often
years ago. Especial sympathy is ex
tended to the afflicted family and the
aged mother, now in her 91st year.
The funeral will be held at St. Marys j
on Friday, from the old home. De- j
ceased had resided of late years mostly I
in Philadelphia and New York and I
travelled extensively, in fact he had
only a few weeks ago returned from
Scotland. He is reported quite wealthy j
from the sale of mining property, j
Politically deceased was a Republican. |
Solid Away Ahead.
Our old friend Edward M. McFadden,
of Cameron, was a PRESS business call
er on Monday and made himself solid
with ye editor away into 1910. He
conducts the New Cameron House,
opposite the depot at Cameron, and
liolps himself in readiness at all times
to take care of the traveling public.
We remember him intimately since we
were boys, when he was employed in
Geo. Manley's shop, and his friendship
has continued all these years. His bad
politics is his only fault, as far as we
see it.
Card from Mr. Cummings.
EDITOR PRESS:—Through your col
umns I desire to express my gratitude
to all friends who so cordially support
ed me during the campaign just closed,
with their votes and influence. Ide- 1
sire to thank all, regardless of politics,
and wish to assure them that words
| cannot be written strong enough to
convey my gratitude. "With malice
towards none and charity for all," 1
i remain,
Very Gratefully,
JOHN CUMMINGS. |
Emporium, Pa., Nov. 11th, 1908.
$50,000 Fire.
Medix Run's big general store was
j destroyed by fire Tuesday night. Loss
I §50,000; small insurance. Oil lamp ex
plosion caused the fire.
BOIL IT!
That terrible disease typhoid fever
having suddeuly come to the surface
in Emporium, greatly alarming our
citizens, the State Board of Health has
written to Dr. H. S. |Falk, their repre
sentative for Cameron county, instruct
ing that precautions be taken. To
guard against an epidemic it is Btrongly
urged that every drop of WATER or
MILK be boiled for twenty miuutes be
fore using same. The fearful scourge
of fever that infested liidgway last
year left so many vacant chairs in
the homes of that section, should be a
warning to all our citizens.
The following cases are reported to
the PRESS up to Wednesday noon:
Mrs. E J. Smith and child, Maple
street.
Max F. Balcom, Sixth street, Asst.
Teller in the First National Bank.
Harry Smutz, 14 years, old W. Fifth
street.
Leon Hout, W. Sixth street.
Miss Inez Logan, 13 years, Wood St.
Thos. Smith, Jr., 19 years, Seventh
street.
E. J. Rogers, West Creek.
Our Borough Board of Health should
PROMPTLY confer with the Burgess
and Council and take every step to
abate the disease. This is no time for
delay.
Rummage Sale.
The Presbyterian ladies will conduct
a rummage sale in Parson's Bazaar, to
begin Tuasday, Nov. 17. The ladies
solicit from their friends of whatever
denomination, articles of any kind, es
pecially second hand clothing. As one
day will be set apart to conduct "A
Country Store," they solicit from the
neighboring farmers any products of
the soil, such as potatoes, cabbage,
apples, etc., or livestock such as pigs,
chickens, etc The "Store" will be
conducted on Saturday, Nov. 21, the
last day of the sale.
If the people will bring their goods
to the Bazaar either on Saturday or
Monday preceding the sale, there will J
be parties on hand to receive them, j
Or by leaving word either at the store
of John Day or J. F. Parsons, goods
will be called for.
The ladies will highly appreciate a
liberal response from the people. The 1
sale will be held each afternoon and
evening of the week but on Saturday
it will be conducted all day.
Religious.
Preaching at th£ Presbyterian church
; next Sabbath by Rev. Joseph Stock
ton Roddy, of Harrisburg, Pa., and on
I the following Sabbath Nov, 22, it is
expected that Rev. H.M. McDermotf,of
Port Kennedy, will fill said pulpit.
Both of these gentlemen are considered
able preachers.
First Methodist Church.
Rev. W. Emerson Karns, of St.
Marys, will preach in the First
Methodist Episcopal Church next Sun
day morning at 10:30 o'clock. Ep
worth League services at night, but no
preach'- services in the evening.
Conductor Morton.
We regret to learn that our old
friend Mr. D. B. Morton passenger
conductor on Pennsy (Buffalo division)
is in poor health and has been compell
ed to lay off and rusticate at his Sizer
Run farm in this county. He came to
Emporium on Monday,accompanied by
his good wife, for medical treatment.
Hope he may be restored to sound
health for we need all such reliable
i gentlemen in this county.
A Success.
Our Candy Kitchen has proven a
success and we will continue ourcandy
I sales every Saturday during the sea

Resnad Club.
About forty of our young people
have organized a dancing club and
named it "Resnad Club." They meet
twice a mouth at Theatorium.
Explosion at Keystone, j
About 7:40 this morning, Emporium \
received a slight shock, when the Key- j
stone Powder Company's glycerine
house "fired," destroying the building-
Fortunately no lives were lost, every
one having ten minutes to escape.—
Some excitement prevailed until it was
learned all had escaped. The damage
will be repaired at once.
The Lotus Glee Club.
In explanation of the many queries
concerning the non-appearance of the
Lotus Glee Club, we would say, that it
was purely a mix-up in dates. The ,
manager of the Club had received the ,
customary notice from the Bureau to ;
appear in Mauch Chunk, Oct. 28, and
Emporium, Oct. 29. But inadvertent
ly the manager booked the dates, Oct.
29th and 30th. On Oct. 29th, the Com
pany arrived at Manch Chunk, a day
too late there,and too late to make con
nections for Emporium.
A Deplorable Defeat.
The defeat of Hon. R. P. Habgood,
in McKean county,.for the legislature,
is a stinging disgrace to McKean
county and is universally condemned
by the better class of citizens of the
State, who believe in fair play.
Brother Layman of the Port Allegany
Reporter very properly expresses our
sentiments when he says: "Personally
I would rather sit on a snow ball in
hades, than on the right band of the
Father, were the seat gained by the
methods by which the Hon. Robert P.
Habgood was destroyed and his char
acter assassinated."
High School Election.
For the purpose of gaining know
ledge and " learning how to vote," the
High School of Emporium conducted
an election, Nov. 3rd, using the regu
lar election sample ballots for the pur
pose. The following was the result:
Taft, 46; Bryan, 13; Soc., 4; Porter,
45; Grim, 10; Barclay, 41; Walker, 5;
Kennedy, 4; Blair, 4; Howard, 42; Egan
13; Judd, 43; Norris, 14; Wykoff, 39
Cummings, 17; Lewis, 42; Kreider, 42;
Bailey, 11; Minard, 13; Fulton, 41; Wal
ker, 45; Brennan, 14.
We believe, if these elections can be
properly conducted, they will result in
much good, for the boys can instruct
the father, who has not the benefit of
j an education.
