II. c. OL1STED.

Prominent in our review of the bust
ness interests of the town will be
reference to the popular and flourish
ing establishment OF Mr. II. G. Ohm
sted, which ranks as one Of the leading
places Of the county. This gentleman
is one of Emporium's solid and sub
stantial merchants, and among the
longest established Of our permanent
business men. His establishment has
a record of steady growth and advance
ment and has done much in building
up the mercantile trade of the town,
while the advantages it offers to the
people has always eXerted a marked
influence in drawing trade to the town
from all over the surrounding country
Mr.. Olmsted has ordered very heavy
for the spring trade, and in due season
will show one of the best spring stocks
he has ever brought to the town
This sale is now in + 'ogress and
unusual bargains are being offered.
Mr.. Olmsted is a merchant of expert
ence and ability and he conducts his
establishment on principles of modern
mercantile enterprise. For offering
good, honest goods, honest values and
fair dealing, this store is unsurpassed
i'll this county.

Severely Bitten.

John Jackson and wife, who reside
on their farm near Emporium, were
severely bitten by their dog, last Fri
day evening For protection against
tramps they raised a dog, treacher
Gus mixture of blood hound and bull
pup The evening referred to, Mr..
Jackson had been caressing the dog and
pushed him away when he tired Oft that
pleasure. This did not please his dog
ship and he jumped furiously at his
master, biting him very severely sew
eral places on the left arm and hand.
Mrs. Jackson, coming to the assistance
of her husband, was next attacked by
the furious beast and severely bitten
who has been making his home with
Mr.. and Mrs. Jackson, seized large
stick of wood and striking the dog
several severe blows on the head laid
him out insensible, after which he
threw him out Of the house to die.
Mr.. Cockburn hurried to town for
medical assistance, fearing the old
people might bleed to death. DR..
Baker at once repaired to the residence
of the aged couple and after making
sure there was no immediate danger
from the bites, asked to be shown the
dog, when he planted two bullets into
the vicious animals head, despatching
him to dog heaven-the proper thing
to do. Mr.. and Mrs. Jackson are i'm
proving under DIR. Bakers care. 1t
was fortunate Mr.. Cochburn was
present at the time of attack for the
powerful animal might have killed
both the old people. Such brutes are
better dead.
AS we go to press we learn that Mr..
Jackson is in very precarious con-
dition, but we have been unable to
see DR.. Baker to ascertain the facts.

A New Library for the Stare College

Mr.. Carnegie's offer to give $4,000
for the erection of a Library Building
for the use of the Pennsylvania State
College has attracted very wide and
favorable comment. The only cOndi-
ton ATTACHED to his offer is that the
State shall provide sufficient sum for
it's annual maintenance. Mr. Carnegie
says:
''The College is doing such great
work tor the State that / do not think
any individual should contribute
money to it for additional buildings,
unless the State agrees to maintain
them. 1t is a duty which the State
owes to its bright young men who at
tend the College of their own State in
stead of going to other States for their
education. Born Pennsylvanians, they
grow up Pennsylvanians."
In this connection Pennsylvanians
will be especially interested to note:
FIRST. That the State of Pennsyl.
vania in 1868, accepted a grant of
lands from the United States in con-
sideration of which it bound itself by
DuDllC CONGucuJ W IudlHbdIH lJS OltIe
College.
SECOND. That every other State in
the Union accepted similar grant on
the same conditions.
THIRD. That thirty-fve of the states
make larger annual appropriations for
the maintenance of their State College,
in proportion to the wealth Of the
State, than Pennsylvania does.
FOURTH. That the Pennsylvania
State College is the only institution in
the State entitled to such support, and
is, in no sense, local institution. 81
counties out of the 81 being this year
represented among its students, and it
has reputation for thoroughness OF
work second to none in the country.
Il is doubtless known 10 cur readers
that the law of Congress relating to
the State College forbids the use ofany
portion of the United States funds for
the erection or maintenance Of build
ings which, accordingly must be pro
vided by the State. Mr.. Carnegie's
proposed gift is therefore a direct con
! tribution to the State Of Pennsylvania
for the benefit Of the one college which
the State has pledged itself to main
! tain.

Sunday Fire.

Last Sunday afternoon about five
O'Clock, the fire alarm was sounded,
giving our people a genuine fright
The fire proved to be in the P. & E.
passenger depot, caused by an over
heated stove pipe in the gentlemens
department. The Mountaineers and
Hooks were quickly on the scene and
soon drowned out the flames. The
fact has iclearly demonstrated that our
department will have to lay aside all
old hose, two sections giving out as
soon as the water was turned on

LEFT s. co.

Leet & Co., have struck the keynote
of mercantile success. How? By
abandoning the old discredited credit
business, and adopting the strictly
cash system. Their commencement of
the same was made public January
26th, and which was accompanied by
such evident facts and proofs that he
who runs may read and which cannot
fail to bring conviction TO every think
ing man. That the people of this town
have been cursed by the credit system
admits Of no doubt. All over this
country the cash place is becoming
more and more adopted Emporium
can and will shake it off, and the firm
of Leet {, Co., are the first to get out
Of the old rut, up on the system Of
modern mercantile enterprise, Every
dollars worth OF goods brought into
their store is paid for in spot cash and
such a reduction in prices is going to
revolutionize the mercantile trade of
this town, here is where the benefit
comes in for the people. All must
admire the courage Of this firm, and
that their plan will meet with popular
approval is certain.

Another great discovery has
been made, and that too, by a
lady in this country. "Disease
fastened its clutches upon her and
for seven years she withstood it's
severest tests, but her vital organs
were undermined and death
seemed imminent. For three
months she coughed incessantly,
and could not sleep. She finally
discovered a way to recovery, by
purchasing of us a bottle Of DR..
Kings New Discovery for Con-
sumption, and was so much re-
lieved on taking first dose, that
she slept all night; and with two
bottles, has been absolutely cured.
