Hard Times in Iowa.

In the midst of u wel-advertised
period OF prosperity discordant notes
are heard. Here is the com plaint of
an Iowa editor:
"The trouble is there is more to do
than there are hands to do il and as a
consequence everyone is compelled to
do his own manual labor or let it go
undone. 1t is no uncommon thing to
see professional man, whose time is
worth from $40 to $40 day, saving
his own wood and doing his own chores
for the simple reason that he cannot
get any one TO do them for him at anv
price. Delicately reared women have
been compelled to desert the parlor and
the piano for the back kitchen and the
rub-a-dub-dub of the wash tub
1t is simply do your own washing or
go dirty; cook your own grub or go
hungry. It's everyone his own plumb
er, own chore boy, own hired girl, own
clerk. Our merchants see their Gus.
toners with money sticking out of every
pocket leaving their stores for want OF
clei ks to wait on them and rake in the
cash. Even the editor OF this paper
was compelled to leave a long line of
subscribers waiting to pay their sub
scrlptionS, while he put up the kitchen
stove pipe and sawed wood to get din
ner Many of them left in disgust and
VIII probably never return, and AS we
figure it, it cost us an even $40 to do
that little job. But it had to be done,
and our experience is only that of
hundreds of other busy men who can
not get help.
1t begins to make us long for the old
Democratic days when men stood idle
on every street corner, and Weary
Willies by the dozen came to your back
door every day asking to do some little
favor for a hand-out. This prosperity
is getting to be too burned much of a
good thing. What's the money good
for ii you have to do all Of the work
yourself, anyhow?
Night just as we'll be a day laborer
and done with it, Now a-days every
body must bow and scrape to the man
who knows how to work with his
hands"

managers sends play out under his
own name, he cannot afford to have his
reputation suffer by an inferior attrac-
tion. The company is just as good as
those seen In New York; and all the
scenery, costumes and properties are
carried. Mr.. Fiske is the first mana.

Happy Events.

One of the most pleasant events that
ever occurred among the colored So
ciety of Emporium, took place at the
residence of Mr.. and Mrs. Dorsey,
East Allegany avenue, last Friday
evening, when Mrs. w. FL. Brady as
sisted by Miss Annitta Dorsey, ten
dered them surprise party in honor
of the twenty-second year of their
married life. The dining room was
beautifully decorated in pink and
white, long streamers of pink ribbon
extending from the chandelier down
to the table on all sides, forming a
grand scene for all present. A center
piece of flowers, autumn leaves and
all the fruits of the season. An elabo-
ate supper was served by Mrs. Brady,
and while the happy family were seat
ed around the table, Mrs. Brady read
a poem of her own composition entitled
'Twenty-two Years Ago To-Day" Mr..
and Mrs. Dorsey were the recipients of
many beautiful presents that will help
them to remember the happy hours of
that evening. They retired at late
hour, thanking God for the many bles-
sings he had bestowed upon them
during the years of their married life.

The Campaign Closes.

On Tuesday, Nov. 8, the electors of
Cameron county will again declare
themselves in favor of the Republican
principles and its candidates. While
this is an off year there will no doubt
he a light vote, possibly not more than
one thousand in this county. Only
two candidates are in the field-Hon.
John o. Sheath, for State Treasurer,
and Charles j. Howard for County
Treasurer. Both are entitled to your
votes and should have rousing ma
jority in this county. Mr.. Sheath ac-
companied by Hon. Charles F. Bar
clay and Hon. Josiah Howard
last week made tour of Mexican
county and addressed meetings at
Bradford, Smethport, Mt levitt and
Kane. The fact was clearly demor-
strated that the old soldiers take no
stock in the wall from the Fishing
Creek Confederacy candidate Harman.
The old boys in blue will make an X in
the Republican box.

Leah Kleschna."

'Leah Kleschna" has been acted over
seven hundred times by Mrs. Fiske and
has never received any unfavorable
criticism. 1t took New York by storm
and was welcomed with chorus of
praise that crowded the theatre for
months. The same record has been
made by the company that will appear
in "Leah Kleschna" at the Emporium
Opera House on Saturday evening,
Oct. 26th, which is also under Harrison
Grey Fisk's management, and is said
everywhere to be of metropolitan ex-
cellence and to give the greatest satis-
faction. It's appearance here is a big
event and there will be large demand
for seats when the sale opens on Oct.

Teachers Institute.

The very successful session of Cam
eron County Teachers Institute closes
tomorrow morning. Each session has
been one of interest to all who were
fortunate enough to be present. The
instructors-Dr s. D. Fess, DIR. S. @
Schumacher, Prof. II. F. Stauffer, Mr..
W. H. Schoff, DIR. Henry R. Rose, DR..
Flickinger and Prof. @. E. Plasterer-
stand with the most able ever enjoyed
by our Institutes. Miss Collins chose
carefully when she engaged such
talent. The evening entertainments
were very pleasing and attracted very
large audiences.
The Monday evening entertainment
at the Opera House was the Boston
Concert Company. The reader, Miss
Pooler, was without doubt the favorite
with the immense audience. The first
number entitled, "Miss. Civilization, "
by Richard Harding Davis, was en-
thusiasticallyapplauded, as was also the
other selections given. Miss Carmen
MacIntyre, the violinist and sopranist,
showed remarkable skill and talent in
her recitals. Each number rendered
was thoroughly enjoyed and highly
appreciated. Mr.. Leon @. Batchelder.
Flute and Piccolo player, surprised the
large audience by his wonderful skill
| on these Instruments. After each num-
ber he was recalled and responded to
the hearty encores most graciously.
He's genuine treat. Miss Elsie Phe.
Ian, piano accompanist, filled in her
part of the program, in most pleasing
manner. Her number, "Piano Solo
and Songs" was heartily applanded
and she acknowledged the encore in q
gracious manner. Her easy matter of
fact style captured her listeners.
DIR. S. D. Fess Tuesday evening, on
Humanity of Lincoln" was treat.
We have listened to some of the ablest
platform orators but never was we so
completely captured as we were Tues
day evening when DIR. Fess described
Lincoln. Grand beyond description.
Wednesday evening, DR.. Henry R.

session. The Company will no doubt
have q crowded house.
