The rlanl<ey Furniture Company Plant
to Resume Operations.

Last Friday the Mankey Furniture
Company plant in Emporium, one of
the most complete manufacturing
plants in the country was sold by
Sheriff Swope to Addison Candor, of
Williamsport. Pa, who acted as trus-
tee for the creditors. Mr. Candor ar
ranged to transfer the property to
Partridge & Sons, of New York city,
practical furniture men of good repu-
tation and reliability. The arrange
ment,as we are very reliable informed,
are these: Messrs. Partridge & Sons
agree to take possession of the prop
erty Feb. 1st, 1901 and contract to
keep the plant in operation for two
years, pay the taxes, insurance apd
interest on the judgments and if after
the expiration of two years they are
satisfied with their contract and the
property proves what they believe it
to be, they purchase it at a price al
ready agreed upon. The plant will
resume, we are informed, Feb. 1st.
Mr. @. F. Mankey will superintend for
Messrs. Partridge & Sons. This will be
cheering news to our citizens.

Cause to Ponder.

Editor Press:-
Is it not sufficient cause to make one
ponder when statements are made like
that of a writer in your last weeks
PRESS, to this effect: ''Do you want
every house in town mortgaged for
100000? personally, I prefer to
pave the street." &c.-which would
call for a mortgage of $3O,OOO.OO or
more Also when men introduce q
project and then for no reason explain
able try to defeat it, and compare the
cost of an electric light plant with a
band.saw mill; and ask repeatedly for
figures when the figures he asked for
were repeatedly read in his hearing.
What has this goth century done to us?
Is the entire community hazy, or
is somebody just little muddled?
PERHAPS.

Sure Cure for Pneumon;a

Our friend Jos. Lechner sends us the
following sure cure for pneumonia.
copied from the "Boots and Shoe,,
weekly:
"Iake six to ten onions, according to
size, and chop them fine; place over q
not fire; and about the same quantity
of rye meal, and vinegar enough to
form thick paste. Stir thoroughly,
letting it simmer from five to ten min
utes. Then put the mass in a cotton
bag large enough to cover the lungs.
and apply to the chest as hot as the
patient can bear it. Before this gets
cold apply another, and then continue
by reheating the poultices. In a few
hours the patient will be out of danger.
Usually three or four applications will
be sufficient, but continue treatment
until perspiration starts from the chest.
This simple remedy was formulated
many years ago by one of the best ply
sicians New England has ever known.
and who never lost patient by this
disease.
Of the many cases I have known
where this remedy has been tried. it
has never failed, even after the best
local talent has pronounced the case
hopeless.
One of the best physicians in this vi
cinity says he has used this remedy for
several years with success in every
case." GEORGE L. BROWN

EMPORIUM, PA. thursday, JANUARY "a, 1901.
Cost OF Electric Light.

Can we install 80 to so arc plant for
100000?
Mere opinions on the subject from
men who don't know dynamo from a
ham sandwich have no weight at all.
Avery simple and business like method
of ascertaining is to ask the question
of reliable electricians. Mr. Catlin has
done this and placed the figures before
the public last week.
The Westinghouse Co. and the Cen
eral Electric Co., two of the largest
electrical companies in the world have
given price on complete plant inside
the power house which will allow of
the completion of the same inside the
amount specified.
In figuring on the outside work, pro-
vision is made for one and one-half
tons of wire, poles, arms, insulators,
pulleys, cord, hangers, cut-outs, fuse
blocks, fuse-links, switches and labor.
What might or could have been done
ten or twelve years ago has little to do
with the present question; for instance,
at that time arc lamps cost $25 to $40
each and used carbon every day, now
the new iuclosed arc lamps cost $12,
and burn 100 to 200 hours on one car
bon.
The world moves every day and if
we can't move with it we might as we'll
dry up and blow away, and let it go at
that E. o. BARDwELL.

To the Public.-I have frequently
listened to, laughed at and enjoyed the
renditions of Professor A. w. Hawks.
His fun and philosophy leave good
taste in my mouth and I am always
ready for more of the sort he gives.
Sometimes he makes me cry; but wheth-

says, and his ugly faces make me laugh
myself sore. He is naturally pretty,
but artificially ugly. Best of all he is
an all around good fellow.

Size of Electric Light Plant.

EDITOR PRESS
Dear Sir:-There having been some
doubt expressed as to the advisability
of putting in so small an electric light
plant as one of sixty arc capacity, I
wish to call attention to the fact that
SO long as natural gas holds out, very
few if any citizens will care to light
their residences with electricity.
The gas is not likely to give out very
soon, certainly not, SO long as the Gas
90. can secure new Fterritory by any
reasonable expenditure, and in any
event, it would scarcely seem to be
good business to put in large plant
on the doubtful contingency that we
might need larger one sometime.
1t is a well known fact in the busi-
ness, that an electric light plant runs
more economically and gives better
service when carrying full load, that
is running at its full capacity, hence,
it is never desirable to have plant
larger than is really necessary. If the
gas gives out or any important i'm
provements in our town at any time
calls for larger plant, it will not be
necessary to tear out the small plant,
but the poles, wires and buildings be-
ing up, merely add another engine
and dynamo. But there is no valid
reason for buying an extra engine and
dynamo till it is needed. E.o.B

Sudden Death of y Senator Osbourn.
q Philadelphia, Jan. 21.-State Senator
Francis A. Osbourn, of the Third Phila-
delphia district, died at his home in
this city last night after brief illness
from pneumonia. Senator Osbourn
contracted heavy cold in the early
part of last week during the Senatorial
contest at Harrisburg. This rapidly
developed into congestion of the lungs,
and on the day the ballot for United
States Senator was taken he was very
sick man. Despite his dangerous con-
dition and the inclement weather he
went to the senate and voted for his
long time friend, Senator Quay. He
was granted leave of absence and re-
turned to his home in this city. His
ailment soon developed into pneumo'
MIA which resulted in his death.
