For the Soldier Boys.

On Monday morning the Women's
Relief Corps of this place shipped a
large consignment of "house- wives" to
headquarters, where they will be for
warded to the front for distribution
among the soldier boys.
These 'house-wives'c consist of a roll
of little pockets, containing a towel,
soap, comb, pins, needles, thread, but
tons, darning cotton, etc, and when
not in use can be rolled up and carried
in coat pocket.
1t is the intention of the Corps to
forward another lot of these necessary
and convenient articles to the front,
in few days, and any contributions
of the above named articles or small
amounts of money with which to pur-
chase them, will be gladly accepted by
the members of the Corps.

The Outlook.

Throughout the state the Republicans
are lining up for Col. w. A. Stone and
the entire ticket and the Republican ma
jority in this state will be fully up to the
standard. Col. Stone will be safe man
in the office OF chief executive of this
great state. His ability, manifested upon
all occasions, and his admirable record as
soldier of the civil war, will bring to
the Office that helpful experience SO nee
essary. Let the Republicans of Gamer
on county bury any differences that may
exist in the party family and present a
harmonious and solid front to the enemy.
Cameron county should elect every can
didate this fall and we can do it, if Re
publicans will cease pulling chestnuts
out Of the fire" to please the democratic
party. We are glad to note determina-
ton among the party workers, and the
voters generally, to place the stamp of
condemnation upon all efforts to keep up
factional contests. None would welcome
more cordially than the editor of the
PRESS every effort looking to the com
plete rcuniting of all elements of the
party in this county, and stands ready to
lend helping hand, Our party in the
state is now in perfect harmony, all
factions having strongly urged the cleo
ton of our popular candidates by an old
fashioned majority, we hope, and believe,
Cameron county Republicans will join
the van and elect every man to be nomi-
mated later on by the party in convention
assembled. Close up the ranks At
tention, old guard

A Hot Contest.

The Sterling Run Emporium game,
played last Thursday, was one Of the
warmest games seen here this season.
Sterling Run made four runs the first
inning but were unable to make any
more after that. Overturf the Sterling
Run twirler had our boys shooting
duck" up to the seventh inning, when
they began to find him for few singles
and in the last two innings pounded him
all over the lot, bringing in seven runs.
The game resulted in score of I to 4 in
favor Of Emporium.
The rowdyism shown at the ball games
by large number of the would be smart
boys of our town is disgrace and should
not be tolerated any longer. The spec
tators who 90 there to see a friendly con.
test between neighboring teams fail to see
any entertainment in the cute (?) re-
marks, stale jokes and worn out methods
Of guying that are practiced by some Of
the infants and real funny (?) boys. who
are so conspicuous at every game. Such
methods tail to bewilder or ''rattle' the
visiting team and are so disgusting to
many Of the townspeople who 60 there to

interest in the sport and consequently the
manager finds himself losing, instead of

mutual agreement declared that the above
mentioned nuisance must be stopped
during the playing of any Of their games.

Emporium as a Summer Resort.

During these hot sultry days of mid
summer it is customary for the great
majority of city people, who are FORUM
ate enough to be able to take summer
outing, to HE themselves away to the
sea shore or else retire to some convenient
mountain town, where they can rent a
little cottage and amid the beautiful
scenery, pure mountain air, cold spring
water, shady walks and driveways and
other natural endowments so conducive
to good health and recreation, they can
rest and rebuild the worn out tissues of
the body.
To the average reader it must be
obvious that in exchange for the above
benefits derived from such mountain
resorts, these summer residents must
leave considerable money with business
places and property owners of such towns
in defraying their ordinary living ex-
penses, to say nothing of the many
smaller incidentals incurred during their
stay, which amount to no small item. 1t
is for this last named reason that we
would suggest to the business men of our
little mountain city the advisability Of
their advertising Emporium as a natural
summer resort and also make adequate
preparations to accommodate those who
would come by building, at a very slight
cost, few summer cottages. Emporium
has excellent railroad facilities, giving her
quick communication with the larger
cities throughout the state.
Good driyeways to surrounding farm
ING communities, such as Whittemore
Hill, Bryan Hill, Britton Hill, and
through the different valleys leading to
Emporium, could be easily made by i'm
proving the highways now III use. In
clined railways to run to the SUBMITS of
the high mountains overlooking the town,
that would answer for all purposes of
passenger traffic during the summer
months, could be easily and cheaply con-
structed and would prove source of
much profit to their owners. The fine
trout and bass fishing afforded by our
local streams would serve as great in
ducement to city sportsmen who would
no doubt come here, We're our fishing
and hunting grounds properly advertised
There is no reason why Emporium
could not realize as much from her ad-
vantages as summer resort as she
would from large manufacturing plant,

The Water Supply.

Editor Of the Press
AS the Water Company here have
been pumping water out of West
Creek to meet the demands of cOnsum-
ers on account of the water in the
reservoirs being low, and hear many
expressions of fear that the creek
water may be contaminated from the
typhoid fever epidemic at Truman, /
deem it my duty as the attending ply
sician to state that the public need
have no fears of contamination, as all
the cases We're in houses at least two
hundred feet from West Greek, and
the discharges, &c, were properly dis
infected and buried
1t would be safer for people to boil
the water before using while it is being
pumped from the creek, as there are
some drainages into the stream at
different points above the pumping
station.

Victory Celebrated.

The ratification of the recent Ameri-
can victory at Santiago, held on Sat
urday night, was a thoroughly patri-
otic demonstration although the parade
was not what it should have been in
point of numbers. The majority of
the business places and residences
were gaily decorated and illuminated
in honor of the occasion and the small
boy with his tin horn was much in
evidence. At a quarter after eight
every whistle, fire alarm and church
bell was made to sound its loudest
tones for over five minutes and when
accompanied by the booming of cam
non it seemed as if pandemonium had
broken loose.
During this time the parade was
forming and at $50 it commenced
moving down Fourth street, headed
by the Juvenile drum corps and dele
cation of the p. O. S. of A., when it
reached Spruce street it turned down
Third and thence down Third to Ale
gany avenue; up Allegany avenue and
Fourth street to the Warner House
where ringing patriotic address was
made by B. w. Green, Esq. AT the
close of Mr.. Green's remarks, he led in
giving three hearty cheers for the differ
ent heroes of the present war,
whose feats of daring have made their
names honored and illustrious.
The crowd then had the pleasure of
witnessing the burning in effigy, of
Gen. Weyler, under the gas jet at the
corner of Broad and Fourth streets,
after which they dispersed.
Much credit is due Mr.. A. G. Blum,
whose untiring efforts contributed
greatly to the success of the affair.

Men dropped all around me and in

field we did not know exactly where
we were to go, but go ahead we had

after desperate charge, and after we
got to the top of the hill we shot at
them while they were retreating. So
now we have them completely sur
rounded. Yesterday we sent in a flag
of truce to ask them to surrender or be

flag came down, so we may expect
firing any time.
The other night they made a charge

INCOMPETENCE CHARGED.
SUMNER ESTATE IS AGAIN IN
LITIGATION.
A Bill Filed to Set Aside Conveyances
Alleged to Have Been Secured by
Undue Influence.

Suit was commenced late Saturday
afternoon in the Circuit Court to set
aside deeds. powers of attorney and
mortgages relating to property worth
100000, on the west side of the har-
Dor channel, and between it and IA
lihi. The suit is entitled John *.
Sumner, non compos mentis, by his
next friend Maria 5. Davis, VS.. Rob
ert Wilcox, Therese Wilcox, Y. Ahin
and Ninite Sumner.
Sumner gave a power of attorney
to Robert Wilcox, covering practical
ly his whole estate. He also decided
most or all of his real estate to Will
cox, who conveyed it by deed to Mrs.
Sumner. Sumner also executed mort
gage to Ahin for $4,000, though it Is
| claimed that the money has not been
| transferred. The bill alleges that the
execution of all these instruments was
secured through undue influence and
through the mental incompetency of
! Sumner, and asks that they be set
aside and cancelled.
A temporary injunction restraining
| the defendants from acting under any
of these deeds or other instruments.
was granted by Judge Perry on the
| showing made by Kinney & Ballou,
who filed the bill. w. y. Castle, the
defendants attorney consenting.
There is pending suit brought
some time ago to declare Sumner in
competent to manage his estate and
for the appointment of a guardian.
The incompetency of Sumner was
one of the grounds on which power
of attorney over the same property
was given to one Crandall some years
ago and ont of which the receiver
ship of j. \. King grew, and which
was set aside.
