Serious Accident.

Last Monday, Lewis Conway, who is
assisting in placing a new roof on the
furnace cast house met with an acci-
dent that might have caused his death.
The workmen were standing on a
swing ladder under the rusted roofing
and when it became necessary to push
the plank along, Mr.. Conway stepped
for the roof frame but lost his balance.
He stepped onto the rotten roof and it
gave way, precipitating him to the
ground. His fall was somewhat eased
by striking against a water pipe,
thence onto a Wheel-barrow. When
taken to the Warner House and DR..
Smith called it was found that the
muscles of the neck were torn from
the bones and he suffered terribly.
The patient is doing nicely at this
writing and will be about again within
two weeks.

He's There.

Can our neighbor hoist the name of
j. |. Mitchell? If not; put up Reilly.
Independent. The PRESS is a stalwart
Republicanjournal and Judge Mitchell
in no uncertain tones stands squarely
on the Republican platform and in his
letter of acceptance his declaration OF
principles make it a pleasure for us to
support him. He represents those
principles we believe in and has the
manliness to say so. Judge Mitchelps
name was promptly placed at our mast
head. By the way, we should like the
Independent to tell us whether the
Democrats of Cameron county have a
county ticket in the field-we have
looked in vain at your masthead but
fail to discover it. We are not sur
prised that our venerable friend does
not hoist a ticket nominated in a
packed convention and upon plat
form so entirely opposed to the pros
perity and happiness of our people.
These are prosperous times and
three good meals a day will work
wonders and we should not be sur.
prised to see both Hackett and Hockey
proudly wearing badge bearing the
handsome picture of Col. Barnett, OF
the Fighting Tenth. Come along

Our County Ticket.

The Republican ticket presented to
the voters of Cameron county this year
is an excellent one and every voter
should take especial pride in giving it
a rousing majority-from the highest
to the lowest.
For Sheriff we have J. d. Swope,
who everybody likes as citizen and
respects him for his many good traits.
He will fill the position, so creditably
occupied by Sheriff Mundy, to the
satisfaction of all. Chas. Gleason and
E. w. Gaskill, who have shown such
excellent fitness in the office of Com
missioner are again placed before the
people for reelection. Both are gen.
tlemen District integrity and have only
the welfare of the citizens of Cameron
county at heart. See that they are
both elected; you will rest easy, know
ing you have two men in whom you
have confidence and respect. For
County Auditors we have Charles L.
Butler and William HI. Logue. Both
are eminently qualified for the impor-
tant trust. Mr. Logue has faithfully
filed the position for three years. Mr..
Butler the other candidate, has never
aspired to county office and always
stood manfully by the principles of
that great party we all love. Mr.. But
Ter will make careful and efficient of.
fetal. These are excellent gentlemen,
voters of Cameron, and should and will
receive a large vote. Republicans,
especially, should not fail to vote, when
this year it means not only an endorse
ment of President Mckinley, Admiral
Dewey, and the gallant boys who BRAY
ed the dangers of battle, but it will
show to the people of these states
where Pennsylvania may be found in
1900, when the question of Poverty or
Prosperity will be the great battle.
Think! Vote for good big basket full
each Saturday night and not for Want,
Despair and Poverty.

How To Keep Apples

An exchange tells us that the proper
method to keep apples i'm winter is to
wrap them in old newspapers SO as to
exclude the air. The newspaper, how
ever, must be one on which the sub
scription has been paid, otherwise
dampness resulting from what is
"dew'' may cause the fruit to spoil.

Prof. Moore the optician, 740 Samson
street, Philadelphia, is here, and will
call at your residence with superior
stock of Australian Diamond Spectacles
that has never failed to strengthen
weak eyes. After twenty-five years of
continual investigation of the most i'm
proved methods used in fitting the eyes
with glasses in the great public and
private institutions of America, as we'll
as those in England, France, Germany,
combined with the wonderful discover
les he himself has made in restoring
sight to those who have used his glasses.
If you are afflicted with weak eyes
no matter what nature the trouble may
be. come to see me, | win restore you
to good sight, if there is any hope; if
not, | will frankly tell you so My
reputation is sufficient guarantee.
All spectacles sold by me must give
satisfaction. Moore's celebrated spec
tacles will strengthen weak eyes. All
spectacles sold by me will be exchanged
any time within five years free of

Over fifty thousands persons fitted to

to fit the eye so you can read or thread
needle the same as when you were
young, with the first pair of spectacles
shown, if the eyes are not diseased.
Don't lose an opportunity you may

Sudden Death of James Cavanaugh

The sudden demise of James Cava-
naugh, aged "a years and four months,
at the st. Charles hotel, at 4:30 o'clock,
Saturday afternoon, was a heartrend-
ing shock to his family and a large
circle of friends.
The deceased was born in Emporium,
in June, 1875, and was the only son of
Mr. and Mrs. Thos. Cavanaugh. He
has been in poor health for several
years, having suffered from physical
strain while employed in Howard's
mill, terminating in heart disease which
was the direct cause of his untimely
end.
The body lay in state at the family
residence on Second Street., where it
was viewed by many sorrowing friends,
until Teesday morning at nine o'clock,
when the funeral took place from st.
Marks church, where Requiem Mass
was said over the remains, Rev. Father
Downey officiating. The Holy Father
preached an appropriate sermon, touch
ingly illustrating his manly and cour-
teous disposition and his reverance and
loving respect for his aged parents, be-
sides whom, he leaves to mourn his
loss, three sisters, viz: Mrs. ThomasJ.
Lysett, Mrs Samuel Cline, and Miss
Ella Cavanaugb. The funeral was
largely attended by relatives and
friends; the A. O. II. and the Fire De-
partment attending i'll body. The
pail bearers were taken from the Ham
ilton Hose Company, of which he was
a member Beautiful floral offerings
from G. B. Howard & Co., A. o. H.,
Hamilton Hose Company, and numer-
Gus individual friends, completely COW
cred the casket Interment was made
in the Catholic cemetery.

The Times-Herald, leading ,aper OF
Chicago, has for some time been boom
ing Bernard A. Eckhardt for governor
of Illinois. Barney" as the boys all
know him, is product of Vernon county
brought up at the old home in Wheat
land. He is a brother of Fred Eckhardt
of Viroqua. The Times Herald says:
Among business men the suggested
candidacy os Bernard A Eckhardt fol-
the republican nomination for governor
next year is being received with favor
everywhere. 1t is considered that his
reputation would guarantee success and
that his name would prove war cry fol-
victory. The republican organization
would prefer another candidate, but il
has suffered such defeat of late that il
will be forced to put man of excellent
reputation in the field in order to smother
the tremendous opposition to Governor
Tanner and his friends. The republi
cans recognize it will be necessary to put
a Cook county man in the field of spot
less reputation, whose career in public
Office has shown that he stands for the
public good. Such 6 man is Mr.. Eek
hardt, and the mention of his name has
brought forth expressions of satisfaction
and delight from republicans who are
business men and who believe in the
good of the state.

THE STRENUOUS LIFE.

The most important service which any
one can render to the college graduate
who is at this moment emerging in large
numbers-being about, as he believes, to
occupy the land, lis to convince him
of the immense Importance of deeds.
This is world in which the greatest
prizes belong to those who do. They
may be said TO come rather than to &c
to the man who gets them, for they move
reluctantly unless compelled 1t is a
world in which the cheapest of all things
is talk.
Some one has remarked with perth
ency: Thought is free, but the tax or
action is enormous; hence, tolerable
action counts for more than q noble
thought. The value of noble thoughts
however, is that when they spring spon
taneous in the mind they lead to noble
actions. There is, indeed, closer rela
ton between thought and action thar
between thought and talk. Evening
