Physical Culture and Pheasants.
Now is the time of year when men
will get up at four O'Clock in the morn
ing for days hunt. They will go out
with an eight pound gun and hunting
clothes, walk five or six miles, see one
poor little bird, fire both barrels about
fifty feet behind it, and wonder why
they missed it, Then walk six or eight
miles further, and up goes another
pheasant with a whir, and off goes both
barrels again, this time up in the tree
tops, bringing down shower of leaves
but no bird. Then they tramp home,
and arrive there too tired to take off
their shoes, too red to eat hardly any
supper. Then t next day they will
be Dragging to their friends of the fun
they had the day before. This is phys.
ical culture with'a vengeance, but it is
the very best exercise on earth, as il
enlivens the brain by making it more
alert. Watching for game, brings
| muscles into use that have not been
used for whole year, makes a man
brighter, healthier and stronger. 1t is
great in every way for the man, but
bad for the birds, for once in a while

A Serious Time.

Last Thursday night a rush of gas
played havoc with Emporium. About
midnight the unprecedented flow of
gas caused numerous fires and great
loss, to say nothing of the excitement
j. p. McNarney's residence was dis
covered to be on fire from the high
pressure and but for the timely assist.
ance of neighbors the children and
their grandmother, Mrs. II. T. Taggart,
would have perished. AS it was they
had to be removed from second story
by aid of ladders. Mrs. McNarney's
loss was placed at $500.
DR.. F. G. Reick's residence was in
danger of destruction, caused by an
explosion of gas in the kitcnen. When
the DR.. heard the fire alarm he got up
and discovered fire in his kitchen and
was in the act of opening the kitchen
door when the explosion took place,
blowing out all the windows. His
kitchen was all on fire and it took hard
work to put the fire out. His loss is
considerable. Insured.
Frank Halderman's residence, East
Fifth street, also suffered from an ex~
plosion of gas, which did considerable
damage, burning their clothes, just
ironed, and the furniture. 1t is Sc

cannot be accounted for by the Gas

fessed newspaper man.
Yet we do not consider it anybody's
business if we should endorse the Re

pendent is trying to induce the entire
majority party to ''forsake its rock

County Commissioner, John w.
Lewis.


John w. Lewis, one of the Republi-
can candidates for County Commission
er, was born in Clearfeld county in
1916 and came to Cameron county
then McKean) when he was only two
years old and has resided here ever
since, working industriously for liv-
lihood. When Abraham Lincoln was
calling for more young men to save
this glorious country from destruction,
he enlisted in the First Pennsylvania
Cavalry and supported Gen. Grants
command until Lee surrendered, pass
ing through the hardest and most
dangerous fought battles of the war.
At the close of the war he came back to
his home and at once entered the woods
and shortly afterwards met with an ac-
cident that almost cost him his life-a
tree falling on him, crushing his right
arm. This accident occurred while he
was working for Dodge q Co, and it
but nothing daunting this patriotic
Cameron soldier he mantully bait ed
on with only one arm and up to the
present time no one ever knew John
w Lewis to loaf day when he could
secure work. How many men would
| have taken an axe and resumed his
work in the woods after being deprived
of his right arm? Did he giveu Not
bit of it. He continued to cut logs,
drive team and do his own contract
work until to day he is one of the best
lumber contractors in the county.
While hard working man, MIR. Lewis
is well read and posted, few being his
equal in the county, having filled most
of the elective offices in Shippen town.
ship with fidelity For three years he
has served as the minority Commits
sioner of the county and was re nomi-
mated unanimously for another term,

front seat with Republican Board,

Mr.. S. P. Kreider, and one democrat

of all taxpayers, and honestly and
