Right You Are, Neighbor

A resident of Port Allegany was at
Emporium Wednesday, having some
business with Dawson the station agent,
relative to railroad matters. Twas his
expectation to approach the said agent
in an attitude of submission, but when
the proper time come to put up fight,
to gain admission to the presence of an
agent without process or system and
be received in a gentlemanly manner
nearly took the aforesaid resident off
his feet; but such was the case at EN-
porium, and in the surprise it is said he
forgot part of his business. 1t was
later learned that Dawson is on Presi-
dent DeCoursey's records as one of the
most gentlemanly agents in his employ
and the above mentioned Port Allegany
resident along with many Of his neigh
bors, stands ready to endorse the iudg-
ment of the president Of the road

A Word From The Burgess.


DEAR SIR:-I notice i'll last weeks
Independent an article relating to our
officers duty to provide passable
road for wheelmen was very timely
and very much to the point. Wheel
men are certainly entitled to roads fit
to ride on at all times, but peoplequite
often have to fight and kick and keep
kicking and fighting in order to secure
their rights.
The wheelmen of Emporium form
large, intelligent, and influential body
of citizens and ought, if organized, to
be able to do much toward securing
better roads. Anything worth having
is worth working for. The Burgess of
this town is heartily in favor of good
roads, roads fit to ride a wheel on at all
times, and anything that | can do,
either as a private citizen or as an Of
fetal of the borough, to aid in promot-
ing such condition shall do cheer
fully and be glad of the opportunity.

Chief Burgess.

How George Died.

Samuel George, who was burned to
death in the forest fires near Corbett
last week, was found sitting upright,
with the left arm as a prop and the
right hand at the edge of a bubbling
spring, with head fallen forward on the
breast. His body was charred almost
to the bone, and he had died at the
spring, to which he had crawled, as his
hollow palm was about to be raised
with water.
George headed a gang Of men who
went into the woods to save so cords of
wood from destruction by forest fires.
After fighting all night, all the men
but George gave up. George would
not leave, however, for the wood be-
longed to him, and he said he would
stay to the last.-Austin Autograph.

was fiittingly celebrated last Sunday
evening at the NJ. f. Church. An out
line of the work engaged in by the So
ciety was nicely given, and the ability
of those who participated in the rendi-
tion of the program was fully demon
strated to be equal to the occasion. All
present expressed themselvesas as highly
pleased at having been there. The
League proposes to give number of
such entertainments during the year,
and when it's orchestra is more fully
equipped you may expect some good
musical entertainments.

CRUSHED BY LOGS.
Burdette Keller Instantly Killed by
Logs Rolling on Him.

Last Tuesday morning, about $50
O'Clock, Burdette Keller, son of Chas.
Keller, was instantly killed while un-
loading logs at G. B. Howard & Co.'s
dock, in Emporium. The unfortunate
young man had taken his brother-in-
laws Ed. Nellis) place for one day only,
in order that he might lay off. Not be-
ing accustomed to the work he lost his
foot hold and was carried with the logs
into the creek, from the car. The first
logs that struck him broke one of his
legs and when the entire load rolled
over him his death was almost instant.
The unfortunate lad made his home
with his aunt, Mrs. Nellis, at this place,
and for fear the shock would be too
great for her, Mrs. A. J. Moore, the
poor lads grandmother, requested
that his body be brought to her home
on West Fifth street, where it has been
viewed by scores of his former play
mates and school day friends.
BURDETTE KELLER was q years, two
sided here all his life. IN 1897 he grad
uated from Emporiem High School
with honor, and Immediately went to
work, aiding his father in caring for
the family, left without mothers care.
He was Industrious and kind and a
great favorite with all who knew him.
The writer, while conversing with
some of his school mates, learned that
he was highly respected by the entire
class Of '97. Hecarried a life insurance
policy for 81 900 in favor of his young
est brother, expressing a desire that
the boy might be educated with the
money in case he was taken away. 1t
was a marked trait of Burdette's char
acter to be always thinking of others.
THE FUNERAL.
The funeral will take place this after
noon at 2 o'clock from the NJ. E.
Church, Rev. Mulliner officiating in
the absence of Rev. Metzler.

Good Indicator,

During the past year, ending March
81, 1900, the business of Emporium
postoffice has very materially increased,
doing the largest in the history of the
Office. The increase in the postal de-
partment was 13 per cent. and the
money order department "a per cent
a total of 81 per cent. When it is taken
into consideration that another office is
situated within the limits of the Dor
ough, this is a remarkable increase. and
reflects very favorably on our efficient
postmaster, Mr.. Chas. Seger and his
obliging assistant Miss Maggie Coyle.
Their prompt attention to the duties OF
the office has everything to do with the
increase of business.

The Census and Persons Away From
Home During June.

The count of the people in the United
States will begin in all parts of the coun-
try June 1, and end in the cities two
weeks later and in the rest of the country
before the close of the month. The
people are to be counted at their places
of residence, but as many persons and
families will be away from their homes
during June there is some danger that
such persons will not be counted. If
they are not counted, the locality in
which they live will be misrepresented
to that extent, and in some cases this
misrepresentation may be enough to
affect the representation in Congress of
the State from which they come. Local
pride and state pride, therefore, should
influence all such absentees to take
reasonable precautions against being
omitted from enumeration in their
places of residence. Such omissions
are most likely to occur in the large
cities where families close their homes
and go elsewhere for the summer. The
occurrence Of the Paris exposition this
year is likely to increase the number
absent from the country.
In all cases of contemplated absence
the head of the family is requested by
the Census Office to communicate with
the supervisor of the district in which
he lives. He is also requested to leave
information regarding his answers to
the questions which are to be asked
with some responsible neighbor who
will agree to see that it reaches the
enumerator on his rounds. Such infor-
nation might better be left as mem
orandum in writing, as IN that case it
is less likely to be overlooked The
questions to which answers are desired
apply primarily to the population, but
also to all farms and manufacturing
establishments. They are being pub
lished from time to time in the press of
| the country
! BY taking this trouble the absent citi-
zen will do justice to his locality and
his state, and materially aid the Census
Office in the performance of its duties.
