In a very interesting and helpful way,
were found in the first few verses
of the fifth chapter Of Ephesians. The
speaker then took as foundation for
his remarks Psalms 1893: Where
withal shall young man cleanse his
way?"
He spoke of the necessity of keep
ing ones self clean and separated from
the sin and defilement of the world if
one would be a successful worker for
God. The remainder of the verse ex-
plains how young man may cleanse
his way "by taking heed thereunto
according to thy word" and the speak
er urged those present to spend much
time in reading and in the study of
the Bible, which is the source of all
Christian help.
The songs were sung with a great
deal OF enthusiasm and the service
throughout was appreciated by ALL
After the speaker had closed his re-
marks those present were given a
chance to speak. This part OF the SER
vice was very helpful, as everyone
took UP the thought of the speaker in
regard to keeping ones self free from
impure thoughts and stories.

CAVE AT scHooLEY coLLIERY.
Trouble Caused by the Flooding Is
Further Complicated.

The situation at Schooley colliery,
Pittston, where a serious flood has been
causing trouble for the past two weeks,
was further complicated yesterday
morning at o'clock by cave-in, af
fecting about twenty acres on the west
side of the Delaware. Lackawanna and
Western tracks. The men engaged in
operating the pumps were ordered out
and at 1 o'clock the fires under the
boilers were drawn and the work of
clearing the mine from water tempor-
arlly abandoned.
1t was feared that the boiler house
might be affected by the cave, and
until all doubt on the subject is re-
moved, an Erie and Wyoming locomo-
tive will furnish steam for the opera
tion OF the fan.

REPUBLICANS OF IOWA.
They Make No Concession to the Cow
ardIy yAnti-ExpnnsiOn
Policy.

The Iowa republicans have taken the
this fall by majority exceeding the
one of $4,000 which they rolled up last
year. They have renominatedG Gov. Shaw,
who has made an excellent executive,
and they have adopted platform which
speaks out boldly on the right side on
all the great questions of the day.
The declaration made in 1895 in favor
of the gold standard, which contributed
so much to the winning of the victory of
last fall, is readopted. 1t reads: 1.-The
monetary standard of this country and
the commercial world is gold. The
permanence of this standard must be
assured by congressional legislation,
giving to it the validity and vitality of
public law. All other money must be
kept at a parity with gold" Wednes-
days convention supplemented this
with an urgent appeal to the Iowa SEN
ators and representatives to lend their
best endeavors to enact these PROPOSE
tions into law. This appeal will not go
unheeded by the Iowa representative
who is to occupy the influential position
of speaker, or by any of his colleagues
in the house and senate. The recogni-
ton in the platform of ''the loyalty and
exalted patriotism of the sound money
democrats who put aside partisanship
to maintain the good faith of the ma
ton" is a proper acknowledgment of
valuable services, which should have
been made sooner.
There is no concession to the coward
ly policy of anti-eXpansion in the plank
relating to the Philippines. The Iowa
republicans assert that nothing of
support, of sympathy, of moral and ma
teral aid and comfort will we ever
| withhold from the American soldiers
in the Philippines, and that there
shall be no division among us until all
in arms against the flag shall confess its
superior right and power" There is
an Iowa regiment serving in Luzon now.
The men who belong to it will indorse
this plank, and will be back home in
time to vote against the democratic
candidates running on pro-Filipino
platform.
The subject of trusts is not ignored.
The platform declares that when they
prove hurtful to the people then they
must be restrained by adequate law,
and if need be abolished" How this
shall be done the convention did not
presume to say. That is a matter for
congress and the state legislature to
determine.
The Iowa democrats may fuse again
with the populists. 1t will make no diff
ference if they do. With or without
fusion they will be defeated by an over
whelming majority For their plat
form will run counter on every point to
the intelligent, patriotic sentiments of
| the mass of the voters of the state

Lumber Trust ImDOssible.

Milwaukee, Aug. 16.-A special to the
Sentinel from Marinette, Wis, says:
Lumbermen here ridicule the report
sent out from Oconto to the effect that
the initial steps toward the formation
OK a lumber trust were being taken.
Nothing has been heard of it here,
where more lumber is manufactured
than at any point in the United States.
Experts are united in the opinion that
the formation of lumber trust is prac-
tically impossible. The interests are so
varied and extensive that it is practical
ly impossible.

Immense Crops.

Women are working in the harvest
fields of Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska,
southern Minnesota and South Dakota,
not because they are driven to work
of this kind by sheer necessity, but be-
cause the harvests are great and the
male laborers are few and high-priced.
The girls, women and boys of the coun-
try districts and small towns who are
willing to go into the fields receive two
dollars a day. The mothers, wives, sis
ters and sweethearts of the farmers
are helping with a will; aged people
and young children are welcome to
take q hand-any sort of labor that
offers itself can find employment at
good wages, but still thousands of acres
of grain are being neglected. Aside
from the immensity of the crops, says
a Chicago paper, two other factors have
contributed toward bringing about a
shortage in the supply of farm labor.
Great railway enterprises are being
prosecuted throughout the northwest
and these have well-nigh drained the
usual surplus supply of workers.
Again, this is the wettest harvest that
the northwest has known for years.
While the rains were fervently prayed
for and welcomed, and while they are
still of inestimable value throughout
large section of the corn belt, they are
seriously interfering with the gather
ing of the ripened crops. This means
doubling the work while the sun shines.
The small-grain crop has been seriously
damaged, but the yield is so bountiful
that the loss will hardly be felt.
Cameron County press. [volume] (Emporium, Cameron County, Pa.) 1866-1922, 1899-08-24

In making their monthly inspection
of the books queer assortment of ar
ticles was found by the librarians of
one of the big public libraries in Phil
adelphia. Among the articles were all
kinds of bills-grocery bills, gas bills,
and the like; hairpins and hair orna-
ments of every description, design and
material; love letters galore, locks of
hair, bits of lace, dress samples and
watch chain charms; pen and ink, pen
Gil and crayon sketches; postal orders
and postage stamps. There were many
photographs, besides an insurance pol
icy. The latter was claimed by the
owner. Another queer use is made of
the books. One enterprising medicine
firm had an agent visit the library once,
and under the pretence of looking at
the books slipped circular in each
one.
