Emporium Talent EntertainS
Austiuites.

A number of the best musical talent
of Emporium came over to Austin Fri
day evening and entertained a repre-
sentative class of people at Lynch;s
new opera house. The entertainment
was in the form of musicale and con-
sisted of selections from some of the
best comic operas, besides vocal and
instrumental solos and male quartettes.
The intention of the ladies and gentle
men was to raise funds for the benefit
of the public library of Emporium.
The entertainment was high grade in
every respect, Their efforts showed
that many days had been spent in re-
hearsals and they came to Austin well
prepared to please our people, and
succeeded we'll. 1t was an exception
ally fine entertainment, even though
some of the "kids" in the gallery, did
not appreciate the class of entertain
ment. he work of the pianist, Miss
Anna Metzger and ofthe male quartet,
Messrs. Metzger, Logan, Walker and
Robertson was fine. The selections
from operas by the double sextette was
excellent. The cake walk by Mr.
Burlingame Of Olean and Miss Lyons
of Emporium was nicely portrayed
and received hearty applause Austin

Death of James German.

Jas. German, who was formerly resi-
dent of this county, died at Johnson
burg last Wednesday, aged 70 years,
from injuries inflicted by Mrs. Lizzie
Schell. The Johnsouburg Press, says:
"Jas. German, one of the we'll known
aged residents of this place, died ION
Wednesday about one O'Clock at the
home of his son on south Center St.
few hours following an assault made
upon him by Mrs. Lizzie Schell. The
facts surrounding his death as near as
they can be learned, and as the later
developments at the coroner's jury
showed, are about as follows:
Mr.. German, who is nearly eighty
years of age and is quite feeble, came
home Tuesday afternoon about five
O'Clock from a walk around town, and
found his young grandson, a boy six
years of age, being abused by an older
son of Mrs. Schell who resides in part
of the same building with the German
family. He separated the youths and
it is alleged slapped the Schell boy,
whereupon the child's mother came
to the rescue and in quite forcible
manner laid violent hands upon the
old man, in consequence of which he
was either thrown down or tripped
himself 1t is claimed Mrs. Schell
hit him with a stone, but this was not
proven at the inquest, while the
autopsy failed to lay the blame for
causing his death directly to the action
of Mrs. Schell. The bruise on Mr.. Cor
mans left ear could have been caused
by his fall when he was forcibly taken
hold of, and there was no evidence
brought out at the inquest that would
go to show conclusively that the stone
thrown by Mrs, Schell actually struck
Mr.. German"
His remains were taken to First Fork
last Friday, for interment. The Coro-
ner's inquest rendered verdict that
he ''died from heart failure, superin-
duced by an assault made by Mrs.
Schell."

Pawnee BilI's Wild West,

The combined shows of Pawnee Bill,
which exhibited here yesterday, is
first-class in every respect; as a lifelike
portrayal of savage modes, it has no
equal, requiring 100 genuine Indians,
brave COW boys, noted SCOUTS, trappers
and Pawnee Bills humanely educated
mustangs. The performances of the
trained animals were excellent, and
equal to any ever exhibited in this city
May Lilies shooting is wonderful, and
the riding and driving of 35 wild mus
tangs are all grand features. The wild
buffaloes and long horned Texas steers,
the grand Mexican Hippodrome races,
by senors and senorits, are most
wonderful and exciting. Taking it all
in all it is one of the best shows that
ever visited our .-Charlestown, S.
c., Sun.
Major Gordon w. Lille, Pawnee Bill,
has doubled the size of his splendid ex-
hibition this year and added many new
and startling features Besides the
thousand men and horses employed, he
is introducing new idea for the little
people. 1t is miniature Wild West
with liliputian stage coaches, prairie
schooners and harnessed to them Shet-
land ponies and burros ridden and
driven by sturdy Indians, Arabs, Coss-
acks and Western boys. viii exhibit

The First Guns.

The elections il Maine and Vermont
on Monday resulted in favor of the Re-
publicans. In Vermont there were
several candidates for Governor and
neither one of them had 4 majority of
the votes. The Legislature, which elects
the Governor, is overwhelmingly Re-
publican. The prohibition question
entered the contest.
In Maine the same trouble, as usual,
made its appearance, but the Republi-
cans elected the Governor by $4,000
majority and elected a solid Republi-
can delegation to Congress.

Mightier Than Steam.

Mighty as are steam and electricity
in the domain of industry, they are but
shadows of the mightier power of con-
centrated thought as expressed in type

what and where you are and what you
have that this great world wants is the
secret of success, and the printing press
is its mightiest machine to that end -

Upon the trust question President
Roosevelt is in line with enlighted
public opinion everywhere iu the stand
he is taking. He is consulting the in
terests of the country, and the Republi-
can party cannot do otherwise than
follow his lead while he leads SO wisely
and SO we'll as he is now doing.
The Bedford Inquirer says there is
big differences besween true reformer
and mere fault finder. The true re-
former in the Republican ranks having
| secured the nomination of a clean, up
right and able candidate for Governor,
are not hanging around Democratic
headquarters trying to cook up fusion
tickets. Having obtained what they
ask for they are getting kown to steady
work for Pennypacker and victory.
Some of our Democratic contempo-
raries are claiming that S. r. Dresser
has said that he would spend $50, 900 to
! get elected to Congress from this dis
trict. During a conversation with Mr..
Dresser last week we asked him to af-
firm or deny this claim, and he denied
it in most emphatic terms. And he also
stated that he only intends using what
money is necessary to pay the expenses
! for a clean, honest campaign. 1t would
be we'll for the Democrats to stick to
the truth for short time, at least
