Base Ball.
The strong Dagus Mines team came
to Emporium yesterday and were de
feated by the Keystone Nationals with
a score of 9to 0. This was the sixth
defeat for the Dagus team of 28 games
played. Svvartz's one band catch of a
liner was one of the features of the !
game. A good sized crowd was pres
ent, but the patrons of the game were
small, as many went around the hill
and got into the grounds. Our would
be enthusiasts, who are always howl
ing for some place togo failed to at
tend. Emporium cannot expect to
have a good team if they do not en
courage them. The players are not
paid men, they are working to give the
town a big name and so why not at
tend the games and give the boys en
couragement.

Local Camp Wins Prize.
Recording Secretary, Mr. W. W.
Knickerbocker, of Washington Cimp
No. 382. P. O. S. of A., received a com
munication from State President, Mr.
Eugene F. Hendricks, of Reading, Pa.,
that Emporium Camp had won second
prize for the second largest percentage
of increase in membership during the
past year, The prize is a set of pedes
tal covers for the officers stations.
This speaks well for Emporium Camp
when taken into consideration that the
town is not very large and has not the
yopulation to draw from that larger
placeß have. The members of the P.
O. S. of A., in Emporium are hustlers
and are bound to make Camp 382
amount to semething. The delegate,
Mr. Henry Ludlam, who is attending
the State Convention at Easton, Pa.,
this week, will receive the prize in bo
half of the Camp.
Accidently Shot
On Monday evening while Harry
Sprung and several others were con
versing at the St. Charles Hotel, East
Emporium, James Welsh, one of the
parties, while attempting to remove a
letter from his pocket accidently drop
ped a revolver, which exploded, the
ball entering Sprung's right leg, go
ing entirely through and passing up
along his body. The wound was dress
ed by Dr. Falk and the young man was
taken to the Eagle Hotel where he has
boarded for some time. He is resting
easy at this writing and it is hoped he
will be able to resume his duties soon.
Contract Let.
The contract for the concrete side
walk, curbing, steps and retaining
wall in front of the Court House, was
let on Tuesday to Fred Bliss, bid be
ing as follows:
3,960 Bq. feet of Sidewalk at l r »c per square foot #
327 feet of Curbing at 60c per lineal foot.
260 feet of Steps at 80c per lineal foot.
21)0 feet of Retaining wall $1.45 per lineal foot.
Mr. Bliss has had wide experience in
'.he concrete business and we have not
the least doubt about the job bein<j
done in a first class manner. The
walk in front of the Court House has
been in a bad condition for a long
time and this work has been badly
needed.
A Neat Rack.
Dr. H. S. Falk is the possessor of a
very neat umbrella holder and can
well be proud of it. Last winter he
Was presented with a small bear by
Allen Russell and this he had mounted
in an upright position, the bear hold
ing a circle of wood to support the um
brellas. It certainly is very pretty
and attracts much attention of the
callers at the genial doctor's office.

To the Farmers:
GENTLEMEN:—
We wish to advise you that we art
installing at this place, a new Grist
Mill, for the purpose ot grinding Buck
wheat, Feed, Meal, etc., in fact we will
be able to turn out grists of all kinds,
with exception of wheat flour, which
we expect to be able to grind later on.
This mill will be equipped with very
best modern machinery that can be
had for this purpose, and we will be
able to turn out work equal to any in
the country. This mill will be driven
by both gasoline and steam engines, so
there will not be any waiting on lack
of power Our location ia the very
best. We have the Penna Railroad on
one side of our mill, the Buffalo and
Susquehanna on the other, with sid
ings from both roads. Parties wishing
to ship grain over these roads can
hive the beat of railroad facilities for
doing so, we expect t<> have it just as
convenient for those that prefer to
come by wagon.
Another matter we wish to call your
attention to, is this it does not matter
if your grain ia a little damp or wet,
we have it so arranged that we are
able to dry graiu by steam in a very
tew hours, this is oa» of the ideas con
celved by the writer in order to be able
to get the very l>eet yield of tiour that
was possible.
We expect to be able to grind by
latter part of September, in fact our
feed grinding machiuery la uew ou the
ground, * inch we will have ready in
about t«u to llll«M)u days, the balauee
of machinery is being completed as
taat as possible by the makers. Now
geutleuieu, we know that a will oi this
litttd la needed by the farmers through
thta section, and needed li.uliy Out
lumber is goue, we must raise grain
.mil oth«r farm produce or get out
\oiling you tor your patronage which
