Hon. Charles F. Barclay, our present
very efficient Congressman, represent
ing the counties of Clearfield, Centre,
Cameron and McKean, comprising the
Twenty-first District announces his
candidacy for re-nomination, in this is
sue of the PRESS. Mr, Barclay has
faithfully served his constituency, with 1
zeal and fidelity, in fact is considered j
one of the hardest workers in Congress. I
While other counties composing this |
District may have candidates we he- j
lieve all will concede to Capt. Barclay
another term. The only other candi
date to announce his name is Charles
"E. Patton, of Curwensville, Clearfield,
county.
Much important legislation will be up
to next Congress and experience and
wise heads are especially necessary, at
this time more essential than for years.
The voters of this district will give
Congressman Barclay a larger vote
this year than he previously received.
A Message from a Famous Beauty
Specialist to Women Lacking
in F.nergy and Vitality.
Thousands of women vainly attempt
to improve their complexions and to
remove blackheads, crows' feet and
other blemishes, through the use of
cosmetics. This treatment fails be
cause the trouble lies far deeper than
the skin. They are suffering from im
pure and impoverished blood. This
condition is in many cases due to a
catarrhal condition of the whole sys
tem, which finds its expression in
sallow, muddy complexion, dark
circled eyes, general weakness of the
system, and perhaps most plainly in
the weeping of mucous membranes that
is commonly called catarrh.
In fact this whole tendency is, prop- I
erly speaking, Catarrh. Bannish this
catarrh, and the complexion will clear
as if by magic, eyes will brighten,
faces become rosy and shoulders erect.
Perfect beauty goes only with perfect
health, and perfect health for women
can only be obtained through one cer
tain treatment —that which will cure
catarrh.
Mme. Swift, New York, the famous
beauty specialist known throughout
the world and an accepted authority
on all relating thereto, states that the
one positive and permanent relief for
catarrh is Rexall Mucu-Tone. Hera is
her letter:
"lean strongly endorse the claims
made for Itexall Mucu-Tone as a cure
for systematic catarrh. Its tonic ef
fects are remarkable. It builds up the
strength and restores vitality. If
women who are tired and run down,
lacking in energy and vitality, will use
liexall Mucu-Tone, they will praise as
Ido its strengthening and healing
qualities."
Rexall Mucu-Tone works through
the blood,acting thus upon the mucous
cells—the congestion and inflammation
of which causes local catarrh. This
remedy causes poison to be expelled
from the system, and the blood is puri
fied and revitalized. Thus the natural
functions of the mucous cells are re
stored, and the membranes are cleans
ed and made strong. We know that
Rexall Mucu-Tone does relieve ca
tarrh. We positively guarantee to re
fund the money paid us for this rem.
edy in every case where the user is dis
satisfied. It is a builder of vigorous
health and a creator of good complex
ions. Price 50 cents and $1 00 per bot
tle. Mail orders filled. It may be ob
tained only at our store—The Rexall
Store. The Emporium Drug Co.

Ross, and on her death the principal is
to go to another sister, Olive Q. Kint
ner; a brother, William L. Rosa, is giv

that twenty-four bonds of the Lycom
ing Improvement Company, of a par
value of SSOO each, be deposited with
the Susquehanna Trust and Safe De
posit Co., for the use of Mrs. Ada E.
Throop. The income is to be
paid to Mrs. Throop as the coupons
mature until such time as she arrives
at the age of thirty-five years, when the
bonds are to bo delivered to her. In
the event of Mrs. Throop's death be
fore she reaches the age of thirty-five,
the bonds will vest in her children, if
any, and in the event of there being no
children the bonds are to become part

SI,OOO is made to Debbie S. Hockley
and of SSOO to Clias. A Hockley. Mrs.
Butts, wife of the Rev. W. H. Butts, is
given SSOO.
Coachman Remembered.
William Warner, a coachman, who
has been in the employ of Mrs. How
ard for a number of years, receives a
substantial remembrance. The will
provides that he shall receive all horses,
harness, buggies, &c., and all the con
tents of the bam, together with the
sum of SI,OOO.
In one of the codicils of the will two
nieces, Fannie Fuller and Lottie Raup,
are each given SI,OOO ; another niece,
Dellie Northrup, receives SSOO, and a
nephew, Jay Batchelder, is given
SI,OOO.
Ekecutor Has Full Authority.
After making the specific bequests,
previously mentioned in the original
will, which bears date Feb. 28, 1906, the
following disposition of the balance of
the estate is made:
" There are certain intents and pur
poses which I desire to be accomplish
ed, which intents and purposes I have
made known to my executor. I there
fore give, devise and bequeath all the
rest, residue and remainder of my es
tate, real, personal and mixed, of any
kind and character and wheresoever
situated to my executor, Thomas H.
Hammond, to be disposed of by him,
without any accounting to any court or
courts, person or persons, after the
payment of all costs and charges inci
dent to the administration of my estate
and distributed by me to such religious,
charitable, educational and other uses
and purposes as he in his judgment de
termines."
Precaution Against Contest.
In a codicil dated Jan. 13th, 1908,
there is provided the following:
" I do further declare my will to be
that if any person or persons shall in
stitute or be connected directly or in
directly with any attempt to break or
test the validity of my said will on any
grounds whatever, then in that event,
such person or persons shall not receive
or be entitled to receive any part of my
estate and I hereby give to my execu
tor power to declare a bequest to any
such person or persons null and void
as though such bequest had never been
made by me."
Bequest to Mr. Hammond.
In the codicil dated March 11th, 1908,
the following item :
In recognition of the services render
ed to me by Thomas H. Hammond, I
give and bequetli unto the said Thos
H. Hammond twenty-two shares of the
stock of the St. Marys Gas company of
St. Marys, Pa., being certificates No.
■345 for twenty-two shares issued by the
V
EMPORIUM, PA., THURSDAY. NOVEMBER 25, 1909.
Haiti company to mo; also thirty-six
shares of stock (capital) of tho West
Brunch National Bank, of Williamsport
and being certilicate No. 331."
Mrs. Howard Changed Her Mind.
One of the peculiar features of the
will Is in connection with the codicils
bearing upon bequests made to Mrs.
Throop. In the codicil dated Jan. 13,
1908, Mrs. Howard directed that in ad
dition to the bequest made in the body
of the will, Mrs. Throop was to bo giv
t>n SB,OOO. In the second codicil, dated
March 11, 1908, the previous one is re
voked no far as it related to Mrs Ada
Throop and in lieu of the SB,OOO i; was
provided she should be given the prop
erty on West Fourth street occupied
by the mansion house and two doubli
brick dwellings, together with the fur
niture The third codicil, dated Aug.
30, 1909, revokes the bequest made to
Mrs. Throop by the previous codicil
and provided that she shall receive no
portion of the estate except that pro
vided in the will dated Feb. 28, 190(5.
It is in the third codicil that the be
quest of SI,OOO is mnde to the Aged Col
ored Women's Hoiiie and to the nieces
and nephew of Mrs. Howard.
Will There be a Contest ?
The fact that Mrs. Howard deemed
it necessary to provide that any at
tempt to contest the will should bar
tho person thus contesting from shar
ing in the estate has led to the belief
being expressed that some of tho rela
tives are likely to be dissatisfied with
tho will and that a contest is pro
bable. A copy of the wiil was being
made at the register's office this morn
ing, presumably for the information of
parties interested in its contents, but
whether this foreshadowed anj legil
contest is not known,
"Isle of Spice."
Alice Clark, prima donna, of the
'•lile of Spice," comes to the ro'< of
Teresa amply equipped for tho de
mands that the part wili make upon
her, by an experience of some seasons
not only in musical comedy but the
heavy style of drama. She wan for
two seasons in support of that noted
ligitimate actor, liouis James and
Madame Madjeska. She was also
prima donna of "Isle of Bong Bong"
and has spent a couple of seasons in
vaudeville. Miss Clark will be seen in
support of Charles A. Pusey at the Em
porium Opera HoUBe on Monday even
ing, Nov. 29th, when that comedian
revives the celebrated B. C. Whitney
musical comedy.
Rally Day.
Sunday, Nov. 21st, was Rally Day in
Howard Siding Sunday School. Had
quite a large attendance. Rev. Bogue,
Hon. Josiah Howard, Miss Spence,
Misses Lloyd, Mr. T. B. Lloyd and Mr.
F. P. Strayer were with us and all en
joyed the services very much. Glad
there is such a deep interest taken in
the Suuday School work. Much credit
is due the good people of Emporium
for the fine service held here. Trust it
may help us to do more and better
work. W r e must not forget to mention
the collection which far exceeded our
expectations. Come again friends.
XX
"Isle of Spice."
The story of B. C. Whitney's musi
crl mixture, the "Isle of Spice" which
will appear at Emporium Opera House

teresting and abounds in comedy situ
ations of the most mirth-provoking
brand, witty dialogue and brilliant
lyrics. The piece is full of tuneful
music, beautiful costumes, sensational
electrical effects, and has au environ
ment of lavish and equisite scenery.
Hunting Notes.
Frank Caskey and son, of this place,
i who spent a short time hunting on
[ Parker Bun, last week, were successful

| George Mundy and Peter Flynick, of
j Pittsburg, composed a party who
camped on Cauley Run, the past few
' days. Mr. Flynick succeeded in shoot
ing a very large bear.

camp, on First Fork of Sinnamahon
ing. They have been having a fine
time and report game quite plentiful

"Liberty and Union, One and Inseparable."— WEßSTEß.
Moving!
After tweiity-tliree years oc
cupancy of the present building,
owned by <"*. F. Balcom, we are
now busy moving into our own
building, corner of Fourth and
Wood streets, where wc will have
every convenience. Our readers
will remember the Climax office
'building, which was fitted up with
great care, having toilets, bath,
fire places and a steam heating
plant. When once arranged and
settled we shall have one of the
most convenient printing establish
ments in the state.
We know our readers will over
look any short comings in this
issue, which we issue under great
inconvenience. Our readers will
remember (Jen. Sherman's diffini
tion of war—moving is the same.
When once located in our new
home, we shall be pleased to greet
any of our friends.
U. F. S. Entertained.
The Union Friendly Society was en
tertained last Thursday evening by
Sir. Max F. Balcom, nf. his home on
Sixth street. It was the regular
monthly business meeting and
twenty-two answered roll call. After
the regular routine business was finish
ed, all present prooeded to have a good
time. Miss Margaret Dodson favored
the meeting with a piano solo, which
was followed by a vocal solo by Mr.
Edgar. A spelling match was the next
on the programme, which was enjoyed
by all present and proved that the
members of the U. F. S., were good
spellers. Delicious refreshments were
served and Mrs. Balcom was very ably
assisted in serving by Mrs. George P,
Jones and Miss Jettie Wiley. After a
few more pleasautries the guests de
parted for their homes. The next
meeting will be held December 16th at
the home of Miss Margaret Dodson.
The Delineator for December.
The Christmas number of The Delin
eator represents all that is best in the
making of a magazine. It ia sumptu
ously illustrated, and the pages that
offer the cream of current literature,
special articles by leading thinkers uiid
fascinating descriptions of the fashions
are decorated most artistically.
"My Principles of Giving" is a sub
ject of special moment at Christmas
time, and wido interest will be felt in
what John D. Roekefellow, Andrew
Carnegie, J. Ogden Armour, Thomas
H. Swope, John H. Converse, Nathan
Straus and Evangeline Booth say con
cerning their methods of helping
humanity. "A Home with Forty
Daughters," by Mabel Potter Daggett,
and "Attending to His Drop," by
Eugene Wood, are two timely articles
that reflect the good-will-tp-man ideal.
"The Gentle Resident of the Vatican,"
a near-by-study of the Pope, by Kellogg
Durland, is peculiarly fitting for the
holiday number of a magazine; for it
presents Christmas glimpses of Rome
and the Vatican. Richard Le Gal
lienue's beautiful serial,"OctoberVaga
bonds," is continued.
The Kipling story for the month is
called "Glorianna." It is superbly il
lustrated. Like the other tales of this
remarkable series, it is compelling in
interest and haunting in its strange
power. J. J. Bell, the Scottish humor
ist, contributes a delightful story,
"Deeds of Kindness." "The Making
of a Hero" is a pleasant tale, well told
by Loila Lyon Topping, Grace Mac-
Gowan Cook's serial, "The Power and
the Glory," is continued.
The fashions for the month are re
viewed by clever writer, in Paris, Ber
lin, London and New York. They are
illustrated in full-page color plates that
reveal the latest ideas for custumes of
every sort.
P. O. S. of A., Attention!

Allen Love, the author of the suc
cessful musical extravaganza, the "Isle
of Spice," which will he presented at

new musical entitled "The Maid and
The Mimic," of which A. Baldwin
Sloane composed the music. The new
piece will be presented at the Broad
way Theatre, New York City, during
the holidays. This new work should
certainly be a success if Mr. Love's
very excellent work in the "Isle of
Spice" is any criterion. The "Isle of
Spice" is now in its sixth season, and
still playing to crowded houses every
where. In faet, it has the longest
recoial of any musical comedy now en- j
tour.
