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. JESSE E. DALE,

CHILD TELLS OF A MURDER.
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.
Cann had been a friend of the Matea
under the charter granted at Harris-| family, and one day during a visit

According to dispatches from Phila-
delphia, the purchase at foreclosure
sale of the Philipsburg, Ebensburg,

reality by the Pennsylvania Coal &

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

known as the Pittsburg, Binghamton

will open a new route from the Clear-
field district east to Binghamton, where
connections are to be made with sev- |

Inter-State base ball league, held in the
parlors of the Bay State Friday after-
noon. When the meeting was called

meister, Erie; Edward Troy, Olean; J.
M. Gilliece, Patton; Felix Steinberger,
Bradford. Secretary Jacklin repre-

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-|~

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.
Nothing but the best—Duquesne and Piel—and the price is
