Our Candidate for CONGRESS-

In presenting the name of Capt.
Chas. F. Barclay as candidate for
Congress the PRESS, as we'll as the citi-
zens of Cameron county, do so with
full determination to convince the
other counties comprising this Con-
gressional District, composed of the
counties of Centre, Clearfeld, Mexican
and Cameron, that we have claims that
should be respected. Ever since the
organization of Cameron county we
have been loyal in our support of Re-
publican principles, yet we have never
been accorded district nomination
loyal in our support when others
fell by the wayside.
In urging the nomination of Capt.
Barclay we do so with the satisfaction
of knowing that should he receive the
nomination the District, State and Ma
tion would have the unselfish, faithful
and honest services of a level headed,
solid business man and a scholar.
Again, the District owes a debt of
gratitude to Capt. Barclay for the pri-
vations and suffering he endured that
his Nation might live. Entering the
army as lad in his teens he, as a men,
Der of the famous Bucktail regiment,
suffered and fought through that ter
rible conflict until the battle of Gettys-
burg, when he was captured in the
famous railroad cut and confined in
Libby prison to suffer, in COM
pany with his Capt. Hon. j.
@. Johnson, for many months.
When discharged from prison, broken
in health he returned to his regiment
and at the close of that bloody war
was promoted to Captaincy in recogni-
tion of his heroism.
A good citizen, a polished gentle
man, he would make a valued Con-
gresham; one who would honor the
entire district. Nominate Capt. Bar
clay and the new district would roll
up an old-time majority. Nominate
Capt Barclay.

The death Of this lady, one of the
oldest residents of this place, was a
great surprise to our citizens, few being

Smethport with her family in the COS

always joined heartily in every good
work for the upbuilding ofthe churches

manners, good manager and excellent
education, she made herself useful and
of invaluable service upon many oc-
casions. In times of sickness and death
Mrs. Hyde was always the first TO
tender her kind ministrations and in
valuable experience. She was kind and
charitable to a fault and could not re-
fuse an appeal for aid, in fact we know
Of an instance when a worthy lady ap-
pealed to her for assistance and not
having the heart to deny the appeal,
she emptied her purse for the assistance
of one she deemed more needy thar

leading Christian virtues. an exceed

of today will be called upon to take
their places.

Eagle City, Okla, Rises From the
Prairie I'm Night.
EAGLE CITY, Okla, Dec. 5.-Eagle
City Wednesday, night was cornfields
and raw prairie. Yesterday morning it
was a town of 1000 inhabitants, with
complete municipal organization, a
bank in operation, a daily newspaper
established, a fairly good hotel, four
restaurants, seven saloons, at least q
score of mercantile establishments and
no end of gambling houses.
The residence section as yet boasts
few structures other than canvas tents,
but all the business enterprises are
housed in substantial frame structures,
many OF which lack nothing except
paint of being completed. The lotdraw-
ing began at daylight. Each boomer
paid In $25, which entitled him to a
twenty five foot business lot or a fifty
foot residence lot, the selection to be by
lottery. AS socn as the choice sites
were drawn the bidding for them be-
came lively, and several sales were
made before 8 o'clock at from $500 to
$1,000 each.
1t was on these lots that the mer-
chants who were already on the ground
with sknockdown'' buildings and
stocks of goods established themselves
before nightfall. It looks now as if Ea-
gle City will have 1000 residents by
the end of the week. 1t is to be divi-

REEDS CONDITION CRITICAL
Ex-SpeaE1er's Disease Takes a Turn
For the Worse.

Ex-SpeaExer's Disease Takes q Turn
For the Worse.
/ WASHINGTON Dec. 5.-The condi-
ton of ex-Speaker Reed is worse. Urae-
mia has developed, and a specialist
from Philadelphia has been sent for.
The doctors have held several consulta-
tfons.
All reports from the sickroom show
that the condition Of the distinguished
patient is serious. DR.. Macdonald, the
surgeon in charge, says that the kidney
trouble has manifested itself, and that
is more serious than appendicitis.
1t is understood that Mr.. Reed is also
a sufferer from Bright's disease, and
this serious complication Of disorders
renders his condition very alarming to
those in close attendance.
While there is a disposition to dis
courage the idea that the condition of
Mr.. Reed is critical, DR.. Macdonald
admits that the case has reached a Sc
rious stage.
DR. Gardner makes this statement
regarding former Speaker Reeds con-
dition:
Mr.. Reeds temperature was 100,
pulse so, respiration 80. AS far as the
Inflammation of the vermiform appen-
dix is concerned, this is giving the ply
sicians little concern, as the infiamma-
ton is steadily decreasing, but kid
ney complication has made its appear
ance, which at the present time is more
serious than the appendicitis

NEGOTIATIONS HALT.
Reciprocity Agreement Awaits Acc
tion In Cuban House.

Reciprocity Agreement Awaits Ac-
ton In Cuban House.
HAVANA, Dec. 5.-The reciprocity
negotiations between General Tasker
Bliss and the Cuban secretaries Zaldo
and Monies are practically at a stand
still owing to the latter desiring to
await the outcome Of the bill intro
duced in the house of representatives
which provides for the appointment Of
a committee to draw up bill defining
the limits of the concessions which the
Cuban government can offer foreign
countries in negotiating reciprocity
treaties. y committee Of the house has
begun studying the question. -
It is known that Secretaries Zaldo
and Monies have reached satisfac-
tory agreement with General Bliss and
that practically all that is left to be
done is the signing of. the agreement,
but they do not wish to assume any
responsibility, especially since the re-
cent cabinet crisis and in view of the
apparent determination on the part of
the Nationalist party to oppose the
government. The Nationalists claim to
control the house, and the bill referred
to is a Nationalist measure. In dis
cussion in the senate on the subject
Senior Sanguily. said an agreement
signed by President Palma and Secre-
taries Zaldo and Monies would not be
binding and that the matter must be
brought before both houses of pariia-
ment. Congress, he said, should be in
formed regarding the particulars Of
the proposed treaty in order TO intelli-
gently discuss the changes in the tariff.
La Lucia says President Palma is
drawing larger salary than the for
mer Spanish captain general OF Cen
eral Wood. 1t states that, according
to the budget, President Palma re-
ceiyed $4,000 allowance for salary,
S25, 900 for secret urgent expenses, ST.
$50 for servants and 5000 for sundry
expenses relating to furniture and his
stable. The Spanish captains general,
says the paper, received a total of SAL
900 and General Wood $4,000.
