The Favorite Resort.
The Emporium Theatorium, so suc
cessfully conducted by W. G. Bair and
Robt. Green continues to grow in favor
with the public, who know the watch
fulness of the proprietors will prevent
the production of anything objection
able, thereby making the place per
fectly safe for ladies or children. The
management thoroughly renovated this
popular resort for the winter attrac
tions. They have eliminated the
vaudeville attractions and increased
the pictures, a change we believe more
to the liking of their patrons Miss
Zetta Wells, daughter of Mrs. E. T.
Wells, the pianist, renders a popular
eong nightly, which is always well re
ceived. The Theatorium has become
so closely allied with our people that
almost, everybody is sure to attend
nightly. The management are to be
congratulated upon the efficient man
ner they handle the large number of
patrons nightly, ft is firmly rooted
and here to stay.

ericans for Americans.
Does the American public ever stop
to consider what would happen if an
invader should gain possession of our
shores?
Now is the time our great country
should take steps to prevent such a
thing from happening It is a known
fact that some day Japan will attempt
to dictate iu regard to the affairs of
this country. The author of " A Mes
sage From the Skies," which is to be
placed in Dramatic form, has placed a
timely warning before the American
people by drawing a little on the Ima
gination and showing what would hap
pen if the Yellow race ever succeeded
in landing on our shores Of course
the story is fiction, but never the less
the tact remains, that it is not at ail
improbable.
This great play which will lie pre
sented at the Opera House, for one
night, Oct. 20th, has created a tensa- |
tion wherever it has been played. Tlie
company which numbers 14 people, is
headed by Miss Ella Kramer, suppor

Reeser is good-looking, dressed nicely
and appeared to have all the money
necessary to live without working a
great deal. He explained that he had
just come into a snug sum of money
through the death of an uncle.
Nothing was too good for his pretty
sweetheart, one of the most popular
girls in Austin, and the daughter of
highly-respected people. She had car
riage and autompbile rides and attend

For a year or more young Resser had
made his home with Mr. and Mrs. Sam

who found their livelihood in a truck
patch, near their home, added to a
small pensian which Mr. Clary receives,
he being a veteran of the civil war.

HIS WORD ACCEPTED
"I want to say, to the people that I
| never swindled anybody in my life,
j There is not a man, women or child in
' these United States who dares say that
i I ever sold them a share of get-rich
quick company stock."
! John K. Tener, the Republican eon
didate for governor, made the state
ment quoted above. It was received
with laud applause. The manner of
his saying it carried the conviction
that he was uttering the truth. The
quotation is from the preface to his
reading of the statement in which he
emphatically denies the charges made
against his business record. He has
employed able lawyers in Pittsburgh
and Philadelphia to look after his in
terests. His traducers are to hear
more from him. Before reading the
statement Mr Tener said:
TARGET FOR VILLIFICATION.
"I want to make a special statement. I
It seems that every candidate as soon )
as he is nominated becomes a target |
for criticism and vilification.
"I am said to be unfit for the office, i

about in sheep's clothing speaking ill
of my fellow men I want to ask the
young men and the fathers of those
young men if they for a monent think
any good, honest, outdoor sport should
bar them from any advancement in
life.
"I am also accused of belonging to a
certain fraternal organization. I am i
pround that I am a member of that or
ganization. and I doubt whether there
is one man in this audience who does
not belong to some good, charittable
and benevolent fraternity. I want to
acknowledge my membership in that
organization and to say that I am
prouder of it than I ever was before.
STRENUOUS DENIAL OF CHARGES.
"You have also read recently of the
charge which connects me with an al
leged swindling concern. I want to
say to you that i never swindled any
body in my life. There is not a man,
woman or child in the United States
who dares say that I ever sold them a
a sharo of a get-rich-quick company
stock I want to make answer to the
charge and I want to make it empha
tic, and in order that I make no mis
take I am going to read the statement
which I dictated yesterday."
Alter reading the statement, Mr.
Tener concluded:
"I was regurlarly nominated by the
accredited representatives of the peo
ple and I do not propose to withdraw
from this ticket for any man or any
set ot men."

A Serious Accident.
Saturday evening, about nine o'clock,
| while walking on the tracks, on his
way home, to Sterling Run from Cam
eron, where he had been visiting some
triends during the evening, Mr. Jessie
| Parker was struck by a train just a few
| rods east of the Ritchey bridge, about
| one and one-half miles east of Cameron,
• which resulted in the loss of his right
' arm, just a few inches below the shoul
j der, his right ear nearly torn off, sev
eral severe scalp wounds and a very
deep gash on his chin. He was found
in an unconscious condition about
twelve-thirty Sunday morning by a
man who was walking the track on his
way to Emporium.
Section Foreman John May was
promptly notified as soon as possible,
■ and the injured man was taken to his
home, when Doctors Bush and Smith,
of Emporium, were called and gave
him the necessary medical aid. After
| a consultation it was decided to take
' the injured man to the Ridgway Hos
j pital, which was done on the Erie mail
j west, due at five o'clock.
| He is reported getting along as well
j as can be expected, as he is very weak,
| having nearly bled to death before he
i was found, but it is understood he will
I live.
Very Pleasant Occasion.
| A number of visitors attended Drift
j wood Masonic liodge last Friday even
; ing and were well paid for their time,
j The Driftwood boys are always strict
ily up-to-date in all their doings. Im
mediately after the business had been
transacted light refreshments were
served, (under the direction of Tyler
j Ueorge Towers) by the following pleae
| ant young ladies: Misses Flora and
Laura McDonald, daughters of Hon.
John McDonald, Martha Osborn, Mar
ion Towers and Jennie Gleason,
daughter of Mr. L. W. Gleason. The
pretty young ladies, clad in lamb skin
aprons, quietly entered the room and
served the small eaters in a very credit
able manner. It is a rule of Driftwood
Lodge to allow only daughters of
Master Masons this privelege. It was
i certainly unique and a beautiful sight.
Eastern Star.
A lodge of Eastern Star will be insti
tuted in Emporium to-morrow after
noon and evening, at Masonic Hall.
This new lodge is composed of Master
Masons, their wives, daughters and
sisters. A. very large number will be
entered. Twenty five or thirty Stars
from Dußois and other places will be
present. The ladies will serve a Ban
quet during the evening. Mrs. M. A.
Rockwell has been silently but dili
gently at work for some time j»erfect
ing the plans. We are glad to note
this new departure in Cameron county
and believe it will meet with approba
tion.
Social Club.
There is a paper being circulated
among the young men of Emporium
to organize a club that will be known
as the Emporium Social Club. The ob
ject of this club is to put on dances
every two weeks, to be strictly pri
vate. A club of this kind has been
greatly needed in Emporium and sev
eral names have already been added
to the paper. A short business meet
ing will be held at the store ot the Em
porium Drug Company on Friday
evening, at nine o'clock, for the
election of officers and such other busi
ness that may be presented. It is hop
ed that the club will prove a success.

Gettysburg to Have Great Cele

One of the greatest patriotic demon
strations ever held in the United States
will take place in 1913 on the battle
field of Gettysburg, if the plans dis
cussed at a preliminary meeting of the
arrangements are carried out. The
demonstration will be in observance
o» the flitit'ih aniiiversa. j ol U.u great
battle between the Union army under
Gen. Meade and the Confederate forc
es under Gen. Lee. That the celebra
tion of the semi-centennial will be
truly national in its scope is already
arnured by the acceptance by nearly
all the States of the invitation to parti
cipate. Two of the Southern States,
Georgia and North Carolina, were the
first to respond to the invitation. It is
expected that the Grand Army of the
Republic and the United Confederate
Veterans will have the leading parts
io arranging for the celebration and
that virtually all the otber patriotic
organizations of the country will par
ticipate.
