A Great Combination.
Prom July first until November third
the hens belonging to Squire Sullivan,
of Huntley, have been on a strike. It
was impossible 10 arbitrate or settle the
difficulty until Mr U. H. Felt, of the
Emporium Milling Company, suggest
ed that a picture of William H. Taft be
placed where the fowls could see it and
to open a bag ot Felt's Matchless Egg
Food and scatter it near the picture.
The results were amazing. The hens
looked at the picture first then went at
the Egg Food and inside of an hour
were crowding the nests in their has'e
to lay. Since that time the hens have
disregarded the sixteen hour law and
insist on laying night and day. The
roosters salute the picture at the first
break of day and crow all the time.
Judge Taft's picture restored confi
dence and the egg food did the rest.
The egg food can be procured at the
Emporium Mill and Mr. Tatt can be
found doing business at the White
House after March 4th.

A Monster Deer.
A very large deer was killed on
Saturday last, near Sinnamahoning, by
a hunting party composed of Messrs.
Scott Mountz and and E. B. Sutliff, of
Cooks Run; T. S. Patton and Mr. Begal,
of Bloomsburg; W. B. Sutliff, of Fair
mont Springs; Herman Smith, of
Hughesville; James Shultz and son,
Jamison City, Pa. The buck was a
monster, weighing two hundred
pounds. We would hardly have
thought it worth mentioning but for
the kindness of Mr. Mouutz and party,
who kindly appreciated the hospitality
of the Mountain House, at Sinnama
honing, by presenting them a nice
roist of the buck. To say that the
meat was fine and richly enjoyed
would be putting it mildly. With
many thanks to Mr. Mountz and party,
we can only say come again.

Dr. Heilman Calls us Down.
I wish to say to the readers of the
Press that the statement in last week's
issue that the X-Rays failed to locate
the bullet in Charles Jones' hand, is
incorrect and was wholly uncalled for.
The X-Ray picture taken by me, indi
cates plainly the bullet, a 22 calibre,
to be lodged just under and to the in
ner side of the joint that joins the in
dex finger to the hand and shows it
between the ends of the two bones.
This can be examined at my office at
any time by any one interested.

EMPORIUM, PA., THURSDAY, DECEMBER 3, 1908
A Foul
John Kihe Shot and
Almost Instantly
Killed by an
Italian.
Last Thursday evening, about 8:30
Joe Pagano, an Italian, who has resid
ed in Emporium for two or three years,
went into the American Hotel, con
ducted by Chas. Farley and being bois
torous and disorderly the landlord
ejected him from the house at three
different times. The infuriated Italian
stormed around the front of the hotel,
when he pulled out a revolver and
fired in the sidewalk. Mr. John Kibe,
who stood in the hotel, went to the
door to see what the Italian was doing
and spoke to him, requestiug that he
go home. Almost instantly be raised
the gun and fired at Kibe the ball en
tering his right side near the heart.
Kibe at once turned back and sitting
down, said "I'm shot." Great excite
ment prevailed. The injured man was
removed to the parlor and Drs. Smith,
Bush and Falk summoned. Promptly
upon the arrival of the Drs it was
soon evident that the unfortunate man
had only a few minutes to live.
The leaden messinger of death had
severed an artery and the wounded
man passed to the great beyond sur
rounded by his grief-stricken wife and
children, at 9:07.
While the sad scene was taking place
in the "death room," Chief of Police
Frank Mundy called for volunteers to
aid him in finding and arresting the
murderer, who after committing the
dastardly deed walked up to Lect &
Co's store and passed across the street,
down towards the Junction. Mr.
Mundy hurried hown to Wm. Clark's
and requested his assistance, which
was readily granted. The officer pass
ed the Italian while enroute for Clark's
and after telling Mr. Clark to "giv%
him the club as soon as he jumped into I
him," retraced their steps and caught j
up with the murderer ia front of E. D.
Mumford's residence, when Mandy
threw both arms around him, Mr.
Clark at the same instant welted him
on the head. After properly securing
him he was taken to St. Charles Hotel
and searched. Upon his person was
found a large stiletto, one razor and :
five or six cartridges. The revolver,
which he dropped when captured, con
tained two charges—one being fired in
the sidewalk, one into John Kibe and
the other at the hotel as he passed
down the street.
On Friday morning he was taken be
fore Esq. Larrabee, who committed
him to jail to await the action of the
grand jury on the second Monday of
January, 1909.
THK INQUEST.
Acting Coroner, Esquire M. M. Lar
rabee summoned the following jurors
immediately after the death of Mr.
Kibe: John Cummings, foreman; J.
11. Stephens, Robt. Hacket, Hon. P. X.
Blumle, Edward McCarthy and Wm.
A. Auchu. After the jurors were
sworn they adjourned to meet Friday
morning at 9 o'clock at the office of
Justice Larrabee. District Attorney
Jas. P. McNarney was present at the
hearing and represented the Comnion
wealth. Nine witnesses were sworn.
A verdict was was rendered that "John
Kibe came to his death at the hands of
Joe Pagano."
THE AUTOPSY.
Friday afternoon, Doctors Smith and
| Bush" performed an autopsy, in the
j presence of the Coroner and Jurors,
i They reported that they found the
j bullet had entered the body of John
I Kibe near the heart, passing through
| the edge of the heart; then downward,
passing througn the body, then lodged
1 under the skin, just above the right
| shoulder blade. At the close of the
| autopsy Undertaker Geo. J. I.a Bar's
1 assistant, Mr. Chaa. W. ltishell, took
! charge of the remains and prepared it
: tor burial.
THE FUNERAL.
The funeral was held on Sunday after
! tiooii 2'rom the late residence of the do
\ ceased, the Exchange Hotel, itev. Mr.
Anderson, pastor of the Methodist
| Episcopal Church officiating. It was
: one of the largest funerals ever held in
Emporium. The deceased being a
j member of the Eagles and the Fire De
partment (Citizens Hose) brought out
the entire membership of those bodies,
about 1500 in number. The deceased
was viewed by a large number of
• rlends, many of whom were closely
connected socially and intimately.
The floral offerings were very heauti
| ful.
The following relatives and friends
from out of town were in attendance at j
the funeral: John Kibe, Sr., (father), 1
of Phillipsburg; Joseph Bingeman,
Adam Bingeman, wife and two child
ren, Miss Anna Bingeman—brothers
and sister of Mrs. Kibe.
What is a Mission
The Rev. R. S. Radcliffe, is assisting
Rev. J. M. Robertson in holding a very
successful mission at the Episcopal
church.
In this age of rash talk and rasher
actions the church calls to sobriety,
morality and godly training and our
people irrespective of creed are learn
ing that a mission is a safe and sane ef
fort to reach the common Benseofour
spiritual nature.
The full vested choir, led by the
organ and a cornet, swell the congre
gational singing with old time vigor,
such as we did not expect in an Episco
pal ohnrch.
Last evening Miss Grace Lloyd sang
"Rock of Ages" as only Miss Lloyd
can sing it.
This evening special singing will be
rendered by Messrs. Sterner and Ellis.
The services will last until Sunday
night with a special service for chil
den Saturday afternoon at 2:00 o'clock
On Sunday afternoon at 3:00 o'clock.

HAKRISUURO, PA., NOV. 20, 1908.
FOOT AND MOUTH DISEASE has ap
peared or has beeu reported among
cattle in the counties of Montour,
Northumberland, Union, Snyder, Jun
| iata, Lancaster, Delaware and Mont
gomery. In each case the outbreak
has been traced to cattle shipped from
| Buffalo, New York, during the last
week of October or thejfirst week of
j November. Since then, thestockyards
at Buffalo have been thoroughly clean
-1 ed and disinfected, and it is stated by
the federal authorities that there is no
danger from that source. Many cattle
came to Pennsylvania during the two
weeks mentioned. All of these ship
| ments are being looked up as far as
| this is possible but some have been dis
| persed and are hard to trace. Hence
j there is the possibility that foot and
| mouth disease may occur any where in
| the State, even in a place least to be
j suspected.
It is of the greatest importance that
j outbreaks shall be promptly reported
! so that all necessary precautions may
1 be taken. Reports should be sent by
telegragh—charges col lect—to the State
Veterinarian at Harrisburg. All citi
j zens should consider it their duty to
■ make such reports, in the interests of
I the public welfare. Just at this time,
| any unusual disease affecting the
t mouths or feet of cattle should be re
garded with suspicion. If such dis
ease spreads from animal to animal
there can be littie doubt as to its
; nature.
In repressing this disease the United
! States Department of Agriculture is
j co-operating and is assisting the State
1 Livestock Sanitary Board. As a result
of such co-operation it is possible to
pay to owners full value for all cattle
that may have to bo destroyed on ac
count of this disease provided the own
ers co operate with the public authorit
ies and do their part to prevent the
, further spread of infection.
Every veterinary practitioner and
every cattle owner should bo exceed
ingly alert to detect the first evidence
iof this disease and to report it. Where
cattle are known to bo affected, visitors
should bo kept away for the disease is
one that may easily be conveyed by
persons who have been in contact with
or near affected animals. Persons who
are known to have been on infected
premises should be debarred from
places where cattle are kept until after
their clothing huve been disinfected.
The disease is one that causes enor
mous losses and must be dealt with in
a firm and effective way.

CURES CATARRH
Mrs. M. A. Rockwell Will Furnish the
Medicine Free in Every Case Where
They Fail to Cure Catarrh.
Neglect or pessimism we believe is
the greatest enemy the public have to
contend with, when applied to the loss
or recovery of haalth. Practically
every case of consumption might have
been cured if hope had been maintain
ed and proper treatment had been re
sorted to at the llrst symptoms of the
disease. Until the advanced stage is
reached, consumption is curable. Ca
tarrh is responsible, we believe, for
every case of consumption. It is about
Catarrh we want to talk to you to-day,
incidentally consumption, since the
two are so closely allied.
We have a medicine made from the
prescription of one of the most success
ful catarrh specialists known. This
medicine has a record of 98 per cent, of
cures, and we believe it is positively
without an equal. We are so satisfied
that we are right, that we will supply
the medicine free in every instance
where it is used according to directions
for a reasonable length of time and
fails to cux - e and give satisfaction in
every particular. We want everyone
in Emporium to try this medicine ab
our risk. There are no conditions or
formality attached to our offer. We
put the user under no obligations to us
whatever.
The medicine we want you to try is
Rexall Mucu-Tone. It is a catarrh
remedy that goes direct to the seat of
trouble. It is carried by the blood to
every part of the system. It seeks out;
and destroys the gerni3 or parasites
which cause Catarrh. It purifies and
enriches the blood, tones up the muco
cele, soothes and heals the tissues that
were ravaged by the catarrhal parasite,
and brings about a condition of health
and strength that prevents the germs
of consumption from ever getting a
start. Besides this, Rexall Muco-Tono
is a wonderful appetizer, digestive aid
and flesh builder. Its good effects are
felt from the very first dose. It is one
of the largest and most satisfactory
selling medicine that we have ever had
anything to do with. We know so
much of the great good that it has done
that we personally back it up with our
reputation and money, which fact
should be ample guarantee to satisfy
anybody.
Rexall Mucu-Tone comes in two
sizes, 50c, and SI.OO. We urge yon to
try it. Mrs. M. A. Rockwell, Empori
