The Ebensburg Millionaire Takes the Place — of Popular Patton Candidate on the Re- publican County Ticket for Sherifi—-Was Only Name Presented. To the Republican voters of Cambria county. It is proper that some statement from me should be given to those who 80 generously honored me with a unan- imous nomination for the office of sheriff. For some time it has been evi- dent to me that the state of my health and the pressing duties of my position, . along with my private business affairs, Would preyent me from making such a canvpes, of the county as should be made by the candidate for sheriff this year, and after carefully considering the matter I have come to the conclu- sion that in justice to myself, and algo to the party which has honored me with this nomination, I should with- draw. In doing so, I wish to thank all those who so loyally supported me thus far, and to pledge myself to do all in my power to aid in the election of my successor on the ticket, whoever he may be.

Says Her Father and Aunt Only Are Guilty of the Crime, According to the 12-year old daugh- ter of Mr. and Mrs. Tony Matea, now | prisoners in the county jail, her father and her aunt only had a hand in the death of George Cann, the Spangler barber who was done away with re- cently. The little girl told her story to an old friend, Mrs. McGraw, of Barnes- boro, last Thursday. The girl had been at the county home since the Matea family were arrested and during the period spent there she never talked of her parents, Thursday she was turnéd over to a Mr. Weak- land, of Hastings, who was to provide her with a home, and it was while traveling to that town that she met Mrs. McGraw and told of Cann’s death.

According to dispatches from Phila- delphia, the purchase at foreclosure sale of the Philipsburg, Ebensburg, Johnstown & Eastern Railroad com- | pany by James Kerr was backed in reality by the Pennsylvania Coal & Coke companv, which has extensive operations throughout Cambria county. The old road, famous in court liti- gation for some time past, will be used, it is said, in the new combina- tion formed by the Pennsylvania Coal & Coke company and the new road known as the Pittsburg, Binghamton & Eastern. This road, it is understood, will open a new route from the Clear- field district east to Binghamton, where connections are to be made with sev- | eral companies reaching into New England and to tidewater. Operators throughout this district are discussing the move of Mr. Kerr. They believe it means a further exten- sion of the operations of the big Penn- other heavy reading.

PATTON REPRESENTED No Action Was Taken on any of the For- feited Contests—Three Games to Compose a Series Next Year Instead ot Two—The Proceedings in Fall, President Geo. H. Rindernecht pre- sided at a meeting of the directors of the Inter-State base ball league, held in the parlors of the Bay State Friday after- noon. When the meeting was called to order, those in attendance besides the president and Secretary L. L. Jack- lin, of Kane, were Messrs. Frank Bau- meister, Erie; Edward Troy, Olean; J. M. Gilliece, Patton; Felix Steinberger, Bradford. Secretary Jacklin repre- sented Kane. Punxsutawney, Oil City and DuBois were not represented. Walter Dale and George Humphrey, both of Patton, were in attendance at the meeting. $1.00 PER YEAR INDEPENDENT — NOT NEUTRAL — RUN BY THE PUBLISHER. Fall and Winter Wear Coming in every day.

After the reading of the inutes of | the preceeding meeting, the question of the standing of the league was taken up for consideration. The of- ficial standing as made up by the di- rectors is as follows: L. POG Brie... 35 11 613 Punxsutawne, 53 45 Hil Bradford. 8 53 Kane... § 58 DuBois, 52 Patton. 2 56 62 60 .389 As will be seen Bradford is given third place and Kane: and DuBois are tied for fourth place. The matter of forfeited games was not discussed at all. Applications were received from Brookville, Ridgway and Franklin for membership in the league. They were placed on file for future consideration. All players of the season of 1906 were reserved for 1907 under the na- tional agreement. All bills that had been presented were ordered paid and the business of the year of 1906 was closed. It was reported that all of the teams in the league had closed the sea- son in good condition and are ready to commence plans for next year. It was the sentiment of the directors in attendance that next year the sal- ary limit should be reduced $200, mak- ing the limit from $1,100 to $1,200 in- stead of $1,350. The directors were of the opinion that the cities in the league can give just as fast base ball at the re- duced salary. The proposition that three games be played in a series instead of two, as formerly, was favorably considered by the magnates. That sort of schedule would save car fare. Another plan to save in transportation is to have the circuit divided into an east and west division, or in other words, Punxsu- tawney, DuBois, Patton and some other city would be in a division by themselves and would play a series of game among themselves, and Olean, Bradford, Oil City and Kane might constitute the other division. The next meeting of the directors will be held at the Reed House in Erie at a date to be set by the president of the league. At that meeting additional details will be arranged for the season of 1907. At the meeting it was decided that next year’s base ball season for the Inter-State league will open May 22 and close not later than September 6, thus reducing the season’s length by about two weeks. The penant for the season of 1906 was formally awarded to Erie.—Brad-|~ ford Era. TRANSACTIONS IN REALTY. Properties In This End of the County That Changed Hands Recently. Jacob P.

There's a Vast Difference between poor whiskey at a big price and good whiskey at a low price. With the former we have nothing to do—we won't sell it at any price. But because we have and handle nothing but the best brands is no reason why we charge more for it. In fact, our reputation for standard goods at a low* figure is more than local. We believe in a standard article and also believe in selling it for what it is worth—and not a cent more. Beer? Of course the same policy obtains there too.
