0. B. Tanners
Home Destroyed
Our citizens will bo pained to learn
that O. B Tanner's residence on Mason
Hill in Gibson township was destroyed
by fire early last Wednesday morning.
O. B. Tanner and B. J. Duell, who
are engaged on a tie contract left for
their work early and hardly commenc
ed when they heard screams in the
neighborhood of Mr. Duell's home,
which is within one-forth mile from the
Tanner place. Knowing that some
thing serious was the matter, they
started for their homes, and when they
had gone but a short distance they
were told that "Bert Tanner's house
is on fire." Rushing to the rcene, the
worried father was glad to see his
motherless children standing under a
Bhed. Bert rushed into the burning
building, hoping to save his pocket
book, containing $l4O and valuable
papers, but the flames drove him back.
Neighbors saved some furniture but
most of which was scorched and ruined
All of their bedding and clothing was
destroyed. It is a total loss a:,d a ter
rible blow to the more than unfortun
ate citizen. The loss on house and
furniture is about $2,000 with no in
surance. Mr. Tanner was at Empori
um last Saturday and is at a ions what
to do. We sincerely sympathize with
him, as do all our people, but what
good does that do. It will not rebuild
his home, neither will it clothe his
children. But, friend Tanner is full of
| grit aud hard work and will not sit
down and "cry over spilled milk."
The Best Outdone.
Emporium's Greatest Store, under
the energetic and careful supervision
of Mr. R. Kuehne, who has had many
years experience in the largest city es
tablishments, continues to grow in fav
or with not only the people in Cam
eron county, but a wide scope of coun
try—even extending to different states.
His plan of conducting a straight-for
ward business, or money refunded, has
established a name for this popular
store.
The Easter Opening this year far
surpasses any previous effort "and the
beautiful attractions in every depart
ment, from the finest drapery in choice
laces, hand-made and imported, at
popular prices, within the reach of the
rich and the poor. We noticed hun
dreds of rich goods we feel certain will
please the ladies, especially the very
large line of trimmed ana untrimmed
Hats in the Millinery Department, un
der the management of their expert
Trimmer, Miss Rose Cypher, who has
been with this firm for two or three
! seasons. You certainly would be hard
j to please if you could not be suited or
j failed to find you style. A glance at
j the large line of ladies coats, opera
j capes, and suits, in all the popular
i styles, at popular prices will meet your
| pocket books. This is a beautiful lino
I and must be seen to be appreciated.
I Those new exquisite Lace Scarfs, rang
ing in prices from $3 00 to $25.00 are of
the handsomest creations and will
make the lovliest Easter Gift for your
wife, daughter or best girl. We might
rattle for an hour, telling yon what
you may see by calling. That's what
yon want to do—call at once and see
the handsomest display of goods in
this section of the State. I£ would bo
hard to excell outside of the larger
cities.

ing this much needed work to be early com
pleted.
Elaborate Easter Dinner.
Mine host H. W. Smith, of Hotel Waruer, has
made elaborate preparations for Easter dinner,
next Sunday, from 1:00 to 2:30. The well known
reputation of Hotel Warner for excellent din
ners , especially upon stated occasions, is popu
larly commented upon. Both Mr. Smith and his
able assistant, Mr. E. E. Breene, are untiring in
theie efforts to please the public and it is certain
ly remarkable how they can, for fifty cents, serve
a meal after the following:

j considerable for we have gotten up some hand
! some ones in the past.

A False Report-
Mildred Green Safe
A report waa received hero on Tues
day from Cleveland stating that Mildred Green
adopted daughter of Mrs. M. A. Rockwell, ha!
been killed on Euclid Avenue by an automabile.
Mrs. Rockwell, accompaniei by Dr. W. II
Bush, left here yesterday morning for Cleveland.
Mrs. Rockwell wired this Thursday morning
"Mildred Safe; home this p.m." After Mrs,
Rockwell left Emporium for Cleveland, friends
here got into communication with the whole
sale millinery store where the young lady was
employed and recei"ed an answer that "Miss
Green had been sick and they knew of no acci
dent."
Proposed Hospital
Well Received.
The PRESS is pleased to hear so many
favorable comments on the proposed
general hospital for Emporium. All
re llize tho dire necessity for such an
institution in our county and wo firm
ly believe if a suitable building can be
secured for the purpose that liberal
hearted ladies and gentlemen would
seo to it that the necessary support
was forth coming.
We have a private letter from the
general manager of the E. I duPont
uc Nemours Powder Company, Wil
mington, Del., in which they offer to
soli the large building on Sixth street,
admirable fitted for a hospita], and
writes in reply to our request for a
price on the above property: "How
ever, if it was to be for a public insti
tution, I have every reason to believe
that our Company would make a divi
sion of a certain amount and if there
could be a reasonable amount raised
we would try to meet your ideas on
the line."
Now, people, it is up to you. As we
said in last week's PRESS we are will
ing, and gladly, to give of our time
and means to make the proposed hos
pital a success but we must depend
| upon your cordial assistance—especial
ly the several physicians of the county.
Let us be up and stirring.
We have received numerous cheer
ing encouragement from our towns
people, as well as outsiders, and quote
a few as follows:
FIGHT FOR IT.
I saw in the PRESS, last week, that
we need a general hospital at Em
porium. Why of course we do and
ought to have one, by all means. I
will give my mite as soon as anyone
starts it. So, let us have it. Almost
every man and woman in Cameron
County would give what they could.
Too much money goes out of the
county that would be kept at home if
we had a hospital. Keep up the fight
until we get it; you will have lots of
1 help, as far as I have seen and by what
j they say. READER.

Enjoyed His Visits.
Ye editor has certainly enjoyed the
visits of Hon. Geo. J. Laßar to our
sanctum since his return of a Tour of
tli3 World, covering a poriod of almost
four months. The Judge is a keen ob
server and what he saw he can describe
in such a manner that you imagine
you are one of the party. During his
tour he tried to give the PRESS readers
an minute account of nil he saw in an
| abreviated form in several letters,
! which were eagerly watched for and
enjoyed by all. .n addition to his
letter he mailed thousands! of post cards
and papers from every port to all
friends he could think of and regrets
he did not have the initials of many
friends he had to miss. The Judge
hoots at the idea of Japan preparing
a for war with the United States and as
nample of the greetings the Americans
received in Japan he banded us the
following, which we copy from
a Japan paper—printed one-half in
English—which expresses his idea of
the true sentiment of the Japs:
We, the Nagasaki Shimpo, have this
day the honor ot extending the hearti
est welcome of the 170,000 citizens of
Nagasaki to the American ladies and
gentlemen on hoard the s. s. Cleveland,
known as the Clark's Tourist Party.
Long before the d<,ors of the Rising
Sun Empire were thrown open to for
eign countries for free intercourse,
Nagasaki was openedifor foreign trade,
and she has the historical honor of
being for centuries tho only mouth
through which Occidental civilization
was imported into the Empire. Con
sequently we, the citizens of Nagasaki,
are proud of ourselves in respect of
cherishing a deeper, stronger and
warmer good feeling toward friends
from America, Europe and all the
countries abroad, than that of our
brethren in other parts of the Empire.
It is our pleasaut and grateful re
membrance that you, the Americans,
j were very kind in awaking us from
our long dream of isolation and intro
ducing our country into the circle of
! foreign nations, and that since you
i have been always true friends toward
us. The whole nation of Yamato is
deeply impressed and greatly pleased
< with the way America entertained so
i courteously and generously the party
of our representative business men
i who visited your country recently, and
I we hereby take this opportunity to ex
i press our heartfelt gratitude to you.
We are very glad to have you visit
! this place to-day; and in expressing
I our joy at seeing you, and our high ap
preciation of your constant kindness
; to us, we are doing our best towel-
I come you to this ci'y with our hearti-
I est and sincerest, puod wishes. It is,
j however, our deepest regret that we
are not quite advanced in our arrange-
I ments for receiving such a large party,
! to make your stay here really com
portable and homelike. Moreover this
is the busiest time of tne year with us,
| as it is our custom to close all business
1 accounts by the end of the year and
j commence every thing anew on New
j Year's day; we must therefore beg
j your pardon if we lack anything in
; courtesy or entertainment to make you
J happy and joyfa! during your visit in
| this town.
In the end we wish you a very hap
i py sojourn in our country, and hope
j most sincerly that when you reach
: your homeland after a pleasant and
| peaceful voyage, you will be kind
I enough to make your fellow country
j men convinced that we, the nation of
j Dai Nippon, have always the mo6t
| true, warm and grateful feelings to
i ward all Americans.—Nagasaki Shim
jpo.
Our genial friend is considering a
1 more complete account of his tour to
| be published in pamphlet form, which
| no doubt will bo interesting and in
• structive.
