High School Election.

For the purpose of gaining know
ledge and Learning how to VOTE" the
High School of Emporium conducted
an election, Nov. 3rd, using the regu-
lar election sample ballots for the pur-
pose. The following was the result:
Taft, 46; Bryan, 13; Soc, 4; Porter,
45; Grim, 10; Barclay, Al; Walker, 5;
Kennedy, 4; Blair, 4; Howard, AZ; Egan
13; Judd, 43; Norris, ID; Wykoff, 80
Cummings, II; Lewis, AZ; Kreider, AZ;
Bailey, IL; Minard, 13; Fulton, Al; Wal
ker, 45; Brennan, ID.
We believe, if these elections can be
properly conducted, they will result in
much good, for the boys can instruct
the father, who has not the benefit of
an education.

The Speakership Contest.

Several candidates have SHE'D their
castors into the field for Speaker of
Pennsylvania Legislature. According
to the Philadelphia dailies the number
of candidates already favorably men,
toned only four or five gentlemen are
seriously considered as available, or
standing a ghost of show against
Speaker McClain. We are pleased to
note that Hon. Josiah Howard, of Cam
eron county, without any effort of his
part, has been very favorably COM
mented upon as a candidate for Speak
er because of his fair and honorable
record, strict business princir.es and
ability, thereby making him an ideal
candidate for the business and material
interests of the state. We do not know
that Mr.. Howard is itching for the
Speakership but if the Representatives
of Pennsylvania elect him they can rest
assured that his conduct of the posi-
ton will be for the good of the entire
State.

First Anniversary at r. Kuehne's
Great Store.

One year ogo last Friday Mr.. R.
Kuehne came to Emporium and estab-
lished, in the new and handsome brick
block, erected by our townsman, Mr..
w. II. Cramer, an establishment that
is great credit to Mr.. Kuehne and an
honor to our county, as well as En-
porium From the first week of its
establishment our citizens were pro-
fuse in their praise and welcomed an
up-to date merchant, as Mr.. Kuehue
has proven himself to be. He has
labored zealously for the up-building
of our town and encouraged other
merchants to brush up. He is no
''knocker" and has the goodwill of all
citizens. The Anniversary Sale, last
Friday and Saturday attracted throngs
of our citizens to Emporium's Greatest
Store, which was appropriately decor
ated for the occasion. Many were the
compliments bestowed onthis enterpris-
ing merchant and hearty good wishes
for the future prosperity of this
popular store, the pride of Cameron
county.

Solid Away Ahead.

Our old friend Edward NJ McFadden,
of Cameron, was PRESS business call
er on Monday and made himself solid
with ye editor away into 1910. He
conducts the New Cameron House,
opposite the depot at Cameron, and
holps himself in readiness at all times
to take care of the travelling public.
We remember him intimately since we
were boys, when he was employed in
Geo. Manley's shop, and his friendship
has continued all these years. His bad
politics is his only fault, as far as we
see it.

Tremendous Sacrifice Sale.

The attention of our readers is
directed to the full page advertisement
of Mr.. Jasper Harris, the energetic
Fourth street Clothier. His immense
stock of fresh goods, ordered before
the business depression struck our
country (now happily rapidly disap-
pearing) and rather than carry over
any of these goods has made deep cut
to the core in all departments. His
great sale commences on the 18th of
November and lasts for fifteen days.
Read his big advertisement in this is
sue and note the bargains. Mr.. Harris
word is always good.

A DeplorabIe Defeat.

The defeat of Hon. r. P. Habgood,
in Mexican county, for the Legislature,
is stinging disgrace to Mexican
county and is universally condemned
by the better class of citizens of the
State, who believe in fair play.
Brother Layman of the Port Allegany
Reporter very properly expresses our
sentiments when he says: PERSONALLY
I would rather sit on snow ball in
hades, than on the right hand of the
Father, were the seat gained by the
methods by which the Hon. Robert P.
Habgood was destroyed and his char
acter assassinated."

Hot Shot From Driftwood.

Editor Press
The attempt of the Elk County Gang
to extend their operations to Cameron
county on Tuesday, Nov. Sd, was not
bowling success, for which we owe our
thanks to the many honest Democrats,
as the whiskey element of the Republi-
can party fell in with the gang and
tried by any means, fair.or foul, to win
out. If they are satisfied with the po-
sition they have taken, so be it, as
there are enough decent men in the
two parties to put the bug on them at
any time. AS eternal vigilence is the
price of liberty we should be on our
guard at all times and ready to meet
them. The election of Judge Wykoff
was the most refreshing incident of
the day. Really it should never have
been matter of donbt, for when the
distinctively bad element of a commu-
nifty line up against candidate for
public Office it is certain to be demon
strated that the decent element are not
only far is more numerous but that it is
entirely capable of taking care of ITSELF
REPUBLICAN.

Sudden Death of B. Frank Hall.

The Philadelphia papers yesterday
morning, announce that during a spell
of temporary melancholy, resulting
from the effects of sun-stroke several
months ago, Mr.. B. Frank Hall, of st.
Marys shot and instantly killed himself
on the train, Tuesday evening, when
near Lancaster, Pa.
He had been acting strangely for
several days, at his home at st. Marys,
when Judge Harry Alvan Hall asked
him to take a trip with him to Phila-
delphia, thinking to place him in a
sanitarium, under the care of special
ist.
They had just returned from supper
in the dining car, after the train had
passed Lancaster and passed into the
smoking room of the chair car and lit
their cigars. Frank excused himself
to the Judge and stepped into the
toilet room and locked the door. In
stantly pistol shots were heard and
Judge Hall quickly broke open the
door, only to find that his brother was
dead. Deceased was well known in
Emporium, having visited here often
years ago. Especial sympathy is ex-
tended to the afflicted family and the
aged mother, now in her 91st year.
The funeral will be held at st. Marys
on Friday, from the old home. De-
ceased had resided of late years mostly
in Philadelphia and New York and
travelled extensively, in fact he had
only few weeks ago returned from
Scotland. He is reported quite wealthy
from the sale of mining property.
Politically deceased was a Republican.

Conductor Morton.

We regret to learn that our old
friend Mr.. d. B. Morton passenger
conductor on Pennsy Buffalo division
is in poor health and has been compell.
ed to lay off and rusticate at his Sizer
Run farm in this county. He came to
Emporium on Monday, accompanied by
his good wife, for medical treatment.
Hope he may be restored to sound
health for we need all such reliable
gentlemen in this county.

BOIL 1T!

That terrible disease typhoid fever
having suddenly come to the surface
in Emporium, greatly alarming our
citizens, the State Board of Health has
written to DR.. H. S. ::Falk, their repre-
sentative for Cameron county, instruct
ing that precautions be taken. To
guard against an epidemic it is strongly
urged that every drop of WATER or
MILK be boiled for twenty minutes be-
fore using same. The fearful scourge
OF fever that infested Ridgway last
year left so many vacant chairs in
the homes of that section, should be a
warning to all our citizens.

The Lotus Glee Club.

In explanation of the many queries
concerning the non-appearance of the
Lotus Glee Club, we would say, that it
was purely mix-up in dates. The
manager of the Club had received the
customary notice from the Bureau to
appear in Mauch Chunk, Oct. 2S, and
Emporium, Oct. 20. But inadvertent-
ly the manager booked the dates, Oct.
Goth and 3Oth. On Oct. 29th, the Com
pany arrived at Manch Chunk, a day
too late there, and too late to make con-
nections for Emporium.

Mince Pies Like Mother Made.

Chop fine two pounds of cold boiled
lean beef and mince to a powder a
pound of beef kidney suet, sprinkling
it with -four if it seems disposed to
stick. Seed and cut in halftwo pounds
of raisins, and wash and pick over
carefully a pound of sutana raisins
and two pounds of cleansed currants.
Be sure that they are free from grit
and dirt before you let them out of
your hands. Peel and chop five pounds
of apples, and shred three-quarters of
a pound of citron. Mix these all to-
gether, with two tablespoonful each
of mace and cinnamon, tablespoonful
each of allspice and cloves, a teaspoon
ful of grated nutmeg, two and a half
pounds of brown sugar and table
spoonful of salt. Put with them a
quart of sherry and pint of brandy
and pack in stone crock. If you do
not use either of these liquors put cider
in its place. The mince meat should
mellow for week at least, or better,
two or three, before it is used. When
it is made up it would not be the pie
of my childhood or family tradition if
it were not baked in and open crust
with strips of paste, the edges zigzagg-
ed by a 'jigging iron," laid lattice
pattern across the top. In my younger
days I thought all mince pies were
born So, as it were, and although |
have since then eaten good mince pies
with solid top crusts they never taste
quite as they should. They lack the

THE CAUSE OF COLDS
Good Advice Regarding the Prevent
ion of COuqhs and Colds.

Ifpeople would only properly fortify
and strengthen their system, about 80
per cent, of coughs, colds and pneu-
monia might be avoided. These
troubles are simply the result of weak
ness, which produces catarrhal con-
dition of the mucous membrane, which
is as an internal skin of the body.
When this skin is weakened, it becomes
infected with germs which are carried
through the system by the blood.
These parasites attack and break these
delicate tissues and set up soreness
which produce what is in reality an ex-
ternal scrofula.
The only thing that will cure coughs
and colds and prevent pneumonia is
a medication which is absored and
carried by the blood so that the dis
eased membrane is disinfected, clean
ed, soothed and healed.
We have a remedy which we honest
ly believe infallable and unsurpassable
for the prevention and cure of coughs,
colds and all catarrhal condition. 1t
is the prescription of a famous physic-
ian, who has an enviable reputation of
30 years of cures gained through the
use of this medicine. We promise to
either effect a cure in every case or
make no charge for the medicine. We
urge everybody in Emporium who has
need of such medicine to try Rexall
Mucu-Tone.
1t stands to reason that we could not
afford to make such statements and
give our own personal guarantee to
this remedy if we were not absolutely
positive that we could substantiate our
claim in every particular, and we see
no reason why anyone should hesitate
to accept our offer and try it. We
have two sizes of Rexall Mucu-Tone.
Prices SOC and 81 90. Sometimes soc
bottle is sufficient for a cure. 8 a
general thing, the most chronic Use
is cured with an average of three rye
bottles. Remember, the medicine will
cost you nothing if you are not Salts
fed in every particular. Mrs. M. A.
