THE CAMERON COUNTY PRESS. ESTABLISHED BY C. B. GOULD, MARCH, 1866. VO L. 42 THE CAUSE CF COLDS 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 porium Opera House, Thursday even ing, Nov. 12.

We will not be held responsible for any expression in this department.— Editor. 9 mm 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) Congressional district met at Clear field on Tuesday and computed the vote of the district. Mr. J. P. Mc- Narey, corresponding secretary of the Republicon county committee of Cam | eron county was appoined Re j turn Judge for this county.

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 | son. See our adv. and low prices in j this issue. J. B. MEISEL. 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. Emmanuel Church Notice.

He started for Brookston on Monday, to appraise the tannery there. At the Roller Rink. November 17th and 18th, E. Frank Vernon, America's Premier Skater will introduce the novelty of skating upon two automobiles. Exhibition lasts from forty-five -minutes to one hour. Fisk's Juvenile Band will furnish the music.
