A Delig htful Concert.

The opening entertainment of the
Star Course, given under the auspices
of the Brockway Lyceum Bureau, of
Pittsburg, at the opera house last even

audience was large and enthusiastic,
and very liberal in its applause, and
the numerous encores were responded
to in very gracious manner. The en-
tertainment was given by the Patricolo
Concert Company, comprising the fol-
lowing high class people: Signor
Angelo Patricolo, Pianist; Miss Agness
Rapp, Soprano; Miss Winifred Gray
Reader; Mr. Herbert Butler, Violinist.
Their selections were of the very high

to be, and the audience was delighted.

Scolgosh Pays the Penalty.

Auburn, Oct. 29.-At 712 80 O'Clock
this morning Leon F. Czolgosz, murder.
er President William Mckinley, paid
the extreme penalty exacted by the law
for his crime. He was shocked to death
by 1,70O volts of electricity. He went
to the chair in exactly the same manner
as have the majority of all the other
murderers in this state, showing no
particular sign of fear, but, in fact,
doing what few of them have done,
talking to the witnesses while he was
being strapped in the chair.
81 killed the President because he
was an enemy of the good people-of
the good working people. I am not
sorry for my crime"
These were his words as the guards
hurried him into the chair.
A moment later he mumbled through
the halfadjusted face straps: 81 am
awfully sorry [ could not see my
father"
Rev. Cordello Herrick, chaplain of
the prison, was in the death chamber
ready for any call that might be made
for his services. He was not wanted
by the prisoner, however, and sat
quietly in the rear of the chamber
throughout the execution.
The clothing and personal effects of
the prisoner were burned under direc-
tion of Warden Mead shortly after the
execution.

The Campaign Liar,

The PRESS had hoped the campaign
liar would not be in evidence in this
campaign, but it appears he has started
out with the single purpose OF attempt
ing to deceive the people in relation to
our worthy candidate for County
Treasure, Mr.. Walter Yothers. One of
the most ridiculous stories circulated
is that Mr.. Yothers receives large
sum of money as Justice of the Peace
and fabulous amount as bookkeeper,
when the facts are that Mr.. Yothers
does not receive $500 per year, so we
are informed by one of the County
Commissioners. Any sensible man
will take no stock in such trash Not
being able to injure our candidate in
any other way, falaehood has been re-
sorted to. The latest to be circulated is
to the effect that Mr.. Yothers does not
intend to conduct the business of the
office, but will farm it out. This old
chestnut is always circulated when an
election of Treasurer is before the peo-
pie. The office OF Treasurer in this
county is not worth sufficient money
to enable Treasurer to do anything
of the kind, unless he desires to give
away all there is in it. Mr.. Yothers is,
practically speaking, poor man, and
being an expert accountant would
naturally desire to give the Office his
personal attention. The question of
deputy has never entered his mind.
Walter Yothers will bo elected Treas
urer and his honest smiling, counten-
anco viii greet you on the Hill after
the first Monday in January next.

Advices received from Cameron

brighter every day, While Cameron

che intention of the Republicans,

party in the interests of Wanna
maker, Mcclure, Guffy, ct. AL, to
vote the entire Republican ticket.
The latest reports predict the cleo
ton of Hon. George \. Walker,
Associate Judge, and Walter
Yothers, Treasurer. Both are
popular gentlemen. Mr.. Walker,
one of the sitting associates, is q
star man and trusty in every emer-
gency.
Mr.. Yothers, for Treasurer, is
exceedingly popular with the labor
ing class, especially the woodsmen,
having for many years followed
that occupation, until by economy
he was able TO acquire an educa-
ton. He is gentleman of spot
less character, popular with all
classes and will receive the hearty
support of many prominent mem
bers Of the opposition, who appre-
ciate his eminent fitness for the re-
sponsible position of County Treas
urer. The citizens of Cameron

the honorable gentleman, but on

Honest Republicans will not be

worthy the candidates upon the Re-

Prominent Society people Welded.


On the twenty-seconda anniversary of
her birth and the thirty Fourth ami
versary of her mothers wedding, Miss
Alice Weir Sofield, daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. Charles Breck Sofield was
united in marriage to William Bar
mum Philleo of Gross Fork, in the
Presbyterian church at noon yester-
day.
To the sweet strains the "Wedding
Morn'' the bridal party entered the
sacred edifice at IL 80 o'clock. Lean
ing on the arm of her father, the bride
headed the procession to the chancel
followed by the groom and his best
man Mr.. Leon HI. Newton, of Roch-
ester, N. Y. Rev. Francis Yarnell, of
Coudersport, officiated, using the
nuptial Episcopal ceremony. The
bride was given in marriage by her
father.
The costume of the bride was
creation of loveliness that gratifed
the eye of the gentler sex in Austin
far more than is usual on similar oc-
casiops. Her dress was composed OF
white silk trimmed with liberty satin
ribbon; her feet were encased in silver
slippers an heirloom of the family
Instead of a bouquets he carried a pearl
bound prayer book containing the
marriage certificate. Miss Margaret
Edith Carson was maid of honor. Miss
Carson was beautifully attired and
carried q bouquet ofwhite hyacinths.
Her bridesmaids were Miss Edith w.
Cowles of Wellsville, N. Y, and Miss
Mary A. Welch of Eldred, Pa. Their
dresses were splendid creations of
costuming. The groom was tastefully
and elegantly attired in convential
Prince Albert black coat and light
trousers. Messrs. Clinton N. Smith, Of
Thelburn Falls, Mass, and Edward II.
Weaver, of Cross Fork were grooms
men, while Messrs Vernon Grinolds
and Fred Pomeroy of Austin acted as
ushers.
A pleasing feature of the ceremony
was the presence of flower girls and
ribbon boys, Ruth Allison and Marie
Brisbois acting as the former and
Harold Caskey and Foster Johnston
the latter.
The floral decorations in the church
were tasteful and remarkably pretty,
the colors blue and white prevailing
in consonance with the customes Of
the bride and her attendants.
AT the BRIDES home on Turner street
where reception was held during the
afternoon, the floral decorations were
even more gorgeous and pleasing.
Hundreds of guests and the brides
friends called to offer their congratula-
tions and well wishes.
Mention must be made of the num-
erous handsome presents OF which the
newly married couple were the recipi.
ents, especially the handsome silver
service presented by the groom's em-
ployer, Mr. Z. Peltz of Cross Fork.
Its massiveness and beauty represents
an intrinsic value that speaks well for
the esteem in which Mr.. Philleo is
held.
The happy couple left on the even
ing train for Harrisburg and other
cities. They viii be ''at home" in
Cross Fork after Nov. 2Oth.-Austin
