Union Friendly Society.

Helen Metzger, on Fifth street. Invita
tions bad been issued to twenty-five
young people, representing all the re
ligious denominations in Emporium,

the U. F. S., is the outcome of the
former Friendly Society, started by the

persons who received cards are re

Pleasant Visitor.
Mr. William Vlner, of Arden, N. Y.,
was a pleasant PRESS caller, last Fri
day, accompanied by his brother, Mr.
Edward Viner. William Viner and
wife have been visiting their two sons
at Omaha, Neb., and Denver, Col.,
both filling responsible positions on
the Union Pacific R. R., through the
intercession of the late E.H. Harriman,
in whose employ Mr. Viner has been
since he left Emporium, fifteen years
ago. Their visit here, as guests of
Edward Viner and family,was pleasant
—meeting many old-time friends, this
being their first visit to Emporium in
that time. They found many changes
in Emporium and noted with pleasure
the many improvements made since
they left.
When W. A. McClollan and Wm.
Viner went to Arden, N. Y., fifteen
years ago to accept positions under
Mr. Harriman they strnckalucky lead.
The former is Supt. of the Arden
Stores, while Mr. Viner is Supt. of the
Arden Dairy Farms, and both must be
capable men or they would not be fill,
ing such responsible positions.

county, Pa.: "Clinton Dodson, aged
82 years, nine months and fifteen days,
fell from an apple tree, injuring his
left side; died of pneumonia, Oct. 15th,
1909. We think a grand-son of his re
sides in your county." We called on
Robt. C. Dodson, druggist, of this
place, who examined his "family
book" and believes the deceased was
cousin of his father, Dr. M. D. L. Dod
son, who died in Florida, Nov. 11th,
1892.
A Warning to Hunters.
There is law which forbids hunting
on Sunday and a heavy fine is impos
ed on the person caught doing so.
People inclined togo hunting on Sun
day should take warning from this
notice as the game wardens are look
ing into the matter. Complaint has
been made to us of persons residing at
and near Cameron of breaking this law
and in order not to have any trouble
we wish to caution them, thereby sav
ing paying a heavy fine. A word to
the wise should be sufficient.
Upholstering and Repairing.
Henry Jaeger, the Fourth Street
Harness Maker, is a practical upholst
erer and desires the public, having
any work in his line to call and see his
large line of samples and learn prices,
which are reasonable. No need in
sending such work out of town. Satis
faction guaranteed. 37-tf.
Champion Bear Hunter.
Mr. C. E. Logue, of First Fork,
claims he is the champion bear hunter
in this county, having captured alive
and killed five this Beason. Mr. Logue
has two live bears now and the pelts of
three and the heads for mounting.
Mr. L., would like to hear from the rest
of the Cameron county bear hunters
and no doubt he will - hear from Woods
Kelley, Allen Russel anti James
Batchelder.
Death of a Prominent Teacher.
Died at Hicks Run, Pa., October 19.
1909, Lois Miller, daughter of Wil
liam Miller, deceased, and Mm. Jus
lina Miller.
Miss LOIS MILLER was about nine
teen years old at the time of her death.
Although so young, she was teaching
her second term of school at Castle
Carden when overtaken by the dread
disease, typhoid fever.
She started for her homo on Huston
Hill, but on reaching Hicks Run, found
herself too weak to proceed further
and remained at the residence of her
sister and brother-in-law, Mr. and Mrs.
W. E. Barr. A trained nurse was pro
cured and every effort was made to re
store her to health, but in vain. Her
pure and lovely soul was released
from her pain-racked body Tuesday,
Oct. 19tb, 1909, and passed into Ood's
keeping.
The funeral was held Thursday after
noon at three o'clock, Rev. 8. Eber
sole, of Sterling Run, having charge
of the services. Although the weather
was most unfavorable, the hall at
Hicks Run was crowded with those
who sought to pay their last respects to
the young teacher, called so soon to
resign her work on earth.
The utmost sympathy is felt by every
one for the heart-broken family;
mother, who, left a widow when Lois
was but a tiny child, faced the world
bravely and brought up a family of six
children to noble manhood and I
womanhood.
Seldom has been such a funeral as
that of Lois Miller, were in the vast
crowd there were 60 many mourners,
where even strangers were moved to
"weep with those who wept" for the
untimely death of a noble young
woman.
Her body was laid to rest in Hicks
Run cemetery beside her father, who
died before her memory.
It is such a death as this, our finite
minds cannot understand, but "God
knoweth best."
An En)oyable Dance.
The dance held at the opera house j
last Tuesday evening in honor of the |
teachers of Cameron county was a i
very great success and was heartily i
enjoyed by all present. The music |
was furnished by Messrs. Harold Seger, j
at the piano, and Lawrence Fisk at the 1
drums. The floor was in elegant con
dition and with the crowd in the hap
piest moods the time sped all too j
quickly and the eound of the "Home !
Sweet Home Waltz" came ere the as- |
semblage was aware that time for de
parture had arrived. The manage
ment of the dance was under the care
ful vigilence of Messrs. F. J. Keim, Jr.,
and R. 11. Edgar.

Local news on every page.
Read, Republicans.What Governor
Stuart Says.
Should any Republican think of vot
ing against Judge Von Moschzisker,
they should stop and reason first.
Read what Governor Stuart said, re
cently to his Philadelphia friends:
"The state ticket is headed by a can
didate whom yon well know, and that
position is justice of the supreme
court.
"That gentleman has been nominat
ed by the Republican party for the of
fice of justice of the supreme court,
and the name of the gentleman is
Judge Von Moschzisker a resident of
Philadelphia county, and a member of
the Philadelphia bar, and he has filled
the position as a member of one of our
courts for the past seven years; a
young man of undoubted ability and
integrity, and a man in my mind, who
will make one of the greatest jurists
of this commonwealth. By reason of
his position as a candidate for the sur
preme court of Pennsylvania, he will
not be here to-night."
Governor Stuart might have gone
further and contrasted our candidate
with that of the Democratic party, who
is running all over the State holding
political conflabs, contrary to all pre
vious customs of either party.
' The Blanket Ballot.
The attention of every voter is called
to the big ballot to be used next Tues
day. If you desire to vote a straight

Voting a straight party ticket does
not vote for or against the amend

for or against the amendments.
Voting on the amendmeuts does not

But, place an X after the word Re
publican, then mark an X after each
