ACTIVE WORK
IN BEHALF OF
DEWEY STATUE
The General Committee Fixes 100000
as the Limit Of Cost and Appoints
Subcommittee

ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOL
| LARS is the amount the committee
| to erect a monument to the Ameri-
~ can navy in commemoration Of the
victory of Admiral Dewey at Manila has
fixed upon as necessary for its purpose,
and ii will proceed at once to raise that
sum That the committee will be sue
cessful there is not the slightest doubt.
Gratifying progress was made at the
meeting of the committee in Mayor Phe-
lan's private office yesterday afternoon.
Besides the Mayor, who is chairman of
the committee, there were present: Irv
ing NJ Scott, F. w. Van Sicklen. R. P.
Schwerin, Captain Fletcher. E. w. Hop
kinS. Leon Sloss, Horace G. Plat, j. B.
ReinR Elm, Charles L. Patton, c. H. Bund-
shu. tCOlonel Charles A. Murphy and z.
cuSSion, the members getting right down
to work as soon as Mayor Phelan raped
for order.
The first matter taken up was the cleo
ton of treasurer. At the preliminary
meeting it was suggested that some bank
be selected to act in that capacity, but on
second consideration the members decid-
ed that it would be preferable TO have one
of their own number have control Of the
funds, and eX-Mayor E. B. Pond was
unanimously chosen for the position.
The question of finances was then taken
up, the discussion extending to the cost of
the statue 1t was finally decided that
S100. 600 would be ample TO erect as i'm
posing and artistic monument as could
be desired.
A resolution was adopted appointing
committee Of five to prepare and issue an
appeal to the people setting forth the in
comparable service rendered the entire
Pacific Coast by Dewey and his fleet and
the reasons why the public should honor
the great admiral in the manner proposed.
The address will be prepared to-day and
printed in all the papers tomorrow morn
ing.
4 second committee was appointed to
wait upon the leading citizens of this city
and ascertain what financial assistance
they will give the movement, as il was
deemed advisable to start the fund with
some large subscriptions before beginning

Rats are Coming.

There is good rafting flood in the
Susquehanna and all its tributaries,
and RATS are afloat and on their way
to this market. The river at Clearfeld
had reached the four-and-a-half foot
mark last night, and Sunday afternoon
five RATS of round logs were started
from that place, The river here regis
tered at the four foot mark this morn
ing. The decided change in the
weather Sunday afternoon from warm
to cold will have the effect of causing
the flood to subside rapidly.
Rivermen expect a good run of tim
Der RATS on the present flood as the
most of them are RATED in and all
ready for starting to this market.
There were so many logs passing
Clearfield Sunday forenoon that the
raftsmen thought it best not to start
with their fleets until afternoon, when
it seemed as though the largest run Of
logs from the head of the river had
passed.
A telephone message from Clearfield
this afternoon states that there is only
q foot flood there now, which is too
low for rafting.
There is q good log food on all the
streams The Dubois Courier says
there is nothing above Pentield this
year to go down the stream, but CON
siderable yet to come into the main
stream between that point and Drift
wood.
The total amount going into the
stream this spring is about 19,3OO, 600,
which is but a small fraction of the
wealth of Lumber foated to the mills
on the same waters some years ago,
although the aggregate is still quite
quantity of lumber.
G.. b. Merrill & Bro, will come out
at Dents Run with 7 7,OOO, 600 and Robert
Cochran at Mix Run with 6,0OO,O 600 and
Henry Blesh, of BeneZette, has put in
about 300, 900.
The Merrills, Cochran, Jones & Co.,
and Blesh will consolidate in one drive
after the logs are all in the main stream
and they will be floated through to
Williamsport by Robert Cochran.
1t is not probable that another drive
will go out of Benezette branch TO

Assigned.

1t is with genuine regret that we an
nounce the fact that III. @. Olmsted,
one of Emporium's oldest, most honor
ed and respected business men, has be-
come financially embarrassed and
thought best to make an assignment
for the benefit of his creditors, naming
G. Jay Goodnough as assignee. We, in
common with all our citizens, hope the
clouds will soon roll bye and our friend
may be upon his feet again. Cameron
county does not contain a more honor
able citizen than II. G. Olmsted. In
addition to his honorable dealings at
all times and under all circumstances,
he has been closely identified with the
best interests of Emporium and always
took prominent part in advancing
every movement calculated to improve
our town. He has literally subscribed
to all worthy objects and made a des-
perate effort to bring Emporium back
to the days when we enjoyed prosper
ity. 1t is burning shame that men
like H. G. Olmsted should be compelled
to give up the fight. He has the unani-
nous sympathy of our citizens. The
business will be conducted as usual.

Quay Delegates Elected.

HoLIDAYsBURG, March 19-The
Blair county Republican primaries
were held last evening and resulted in
a victory for the supporters of the eX-
Senator Quay. The out comets a sur
prise. The Independents held mass
meetings in the county, and Senator
Finn and General koontz spoke to a
big audience in the opera house in
Altoona this week. The Quay people
conducted a still hunt, and even an
nounced that there would be no fight
nor an effort to elect their candidates
for delegates to the state convention.
They permitted such nominations as
Judge John Stewart, of Chambersburg,
for the Supreme bench, and General
Koontz for State chairman without
opposition and thus further Encouraged
the belief that they would not make a
contest of any kind.
But while they were apparently in
active they did some very effective,
quiet campaigning, and the returns in
dicate the election of their candidates
for state delegates by good majorities.
These candidates are Edwin M. Amies
and James r. Fay, of Altoona, and
George Irwin of Holidaysburg. The
Independent candidates were B. M.
Bunker and NJ NJ Marrow, of Altoona,
and Isaac p. Walton, of Tyrone.

Deaths DoingS.
MRS. AMOS KLOCK.

Death claimed another former resi-
dent of Emporium in the person of
Mrs. Amos. Klock, on Thursday last,
at her home in Henderson, North
Carolina. Mrs. Klock was well and
favorably known to our people, hav-
ing lived here many years, until some
five years ago, when the family emf
grated to North Carolina, where they
have since lived. She was a Miss
Jordan and hailed from Gibson town
ship, this county, and was 56 years of
age at her death. She was the mother
of eight children, three boys and five
girls, and was a consistent member of
the Methodist church. She was of a
retiring disposition, scarcely ever leav-
ing her home, but those who were her
intimate friends testify to her amiable
disposition and christian character.
The remains were brought here Sat
urday evening and were taken in
charge by members of the A O. u. W.,
Mr.. Klock being an old member of the
order. The funeral was held Sunday
Elmer Klock, in the East Ward, and
church, conducted the services.

While steaming up the valley between
Driftwood and Millers, a bear was seen
down the bank of the creek where he
was busying himself looking for crabs,
etc. The mountains are quite high at
this point and covered with consider
timber, and bruin had evidently VEN
tured down from his hiding place to
look for food along the water.
