NOTES OF INTEREST.

The races at the Dubois Fair Sept.
811 promise to be the best ever held
in Dubois, which is ''going some"
The track is in prime condition and
judging from the fast field ofsteppers,
some recods are likely to 'go broke"
The management of the Dubois Fair
has engaged real Airship for this
years. meeting, Sept. 8-11th. This
will be fine opportunity for the peo-
pie of this vicinity to see one of these
wonderful air flyers at very slight
expense.
United States Senator Boies Penrose
has returned from a two months rest
in the Rocky Mountains. He will
take, at once, a lively interest in the
National campaign, assisting the Ma
tional chairman. His health has been
fully restored and he will make as
many speeches in Pennsylvania as en-
gagements will permit.
A few students can yet be accomo-
dated in the dormitories of the Lock
Haven Normal School for the Fall
term which begins Sept. 7th. The
school is usually filled during the en-
tire year, hence the number of rooms
are limited. You will make no mis-
take if you select this highly establish.
ed school. Address the Principal for a
catalogue.
A large number of young people go
away to school each year. To those
who are considering the question of a
school, we desire to call their attention
to the Lock Haven State Normal
School, This institution has a fine
reputation for doing excellent work.
1t modern and up to date. 1t is in a
prosperous condition. The Fall term
begins Sept. 7th. Write for a cata.
louge.
When the tariff is to be revised after
March 5th, Judge Taft will be ably as
sisted, as President, in making the
necessary changes. The Republican
party is pledged to revised tariff,
but not free trade tariff for revenue
revision, the same old Democratic
Donkey trick to catch the farmer. 1t
will not work. The American laborer
| farmer and business man know fully
| what that means and will hustle,
as of old, for Il ''safe and sane tariff
to be secured by Taft and Sherman's
| election.
The management of the Dubois Fair
is determined to moke this years meet
ing particularly interesting to the
farmers. The fine dance pavilion, es-
pecially adapted for the purpose, will
be exclusively for their use. 1t will
contain all exhibits of farm products,
and be Grange headquarters. A check
room for lunch baskets, etc, with at
tendants on duty at all times, will add
| greatly to the comfort and convent
ence of everyone. Sept. Sth to 18th
are the dates
A school girl was required to write
an essay of $50 words about an auto
mobile. She submitted the following:
"My uncle bought an automobile. He
was riding in the country when it
busted going up hill. guess this is
about so words. The other 200 are
what my uncle said when he was walk
ing back to town, but they are not fit
for publication" If all the words un-
fit for publication that are uttered by
autoists who travel over some of our
roads were recorded, they would make
an essay about the size of the Congress
ional Record.

The Vermont Election.

Vermont makes a good showing.
The Republicans carry the State on
Tuesday by about $4,000. The result
is gratifying and is taken as safe in
dication of Republican success next
November. The Maine election will
be held on Sept. Is. In that state the
local issues are very prominent and
the result cannot be safely analyzed on
national lines.

Middle West Lining-Up for Taf

A'AHNNhN " SSh ~ - ioi Nit'
Within the past week or ten days
there has been a general awakening
politically in the Middle West and
states OF the Northwest and Pacific
slope, with a very decided improve.
ment in favor of the Republican stand
ard bearers, Taft and Sherman.
The objection entertained by the think
ing voter and business man to Bryan
is the taint of free silver still hanging
around his neck. 1t frightens the busi-
ness man. What the Democrats might
do. to the tariff is of serious Importance
to the business element, but more than
that it is of individual moment to the
small producer, whether he be manu-
facturer or agriculturist. So strong is
the sentiment in favor of the election
of ''sound, safe and sane friends of the
tariff" that in some states in the south
and Middle West and Northwest
Democratic nominees for Congress are
forced to declare for a high duty on
raw materials. Even the Democratic
voter has no confidence in his own
party when it comes to the tariff issue,
remembering no doubt, the betrayal
of the people and starvation when the
so-called tariff Democrats raised the
banner, with the inscription, "Polk,
Dallas and the Tariff of '42", Dallas
being from Pennsylvania. As Vice
President he cast the vote that doomed
the tariff to defeat. With an enemy
OF the tariff in Bryan and Kern in the
Vice Presidential chair, the American
people dare not and will not risk
repetition of those days of starvation
horrible days of want. During the
past few weeks we have met gentle
men from all sections of the country,
talked with them, listened to their
arguments. While we notice, mani
tested to larger degree than ever be-
fore, an independence in the voter.
Democrats assert they will vote the
Republican ticket because they do not
like the radical principles for which
MIR. Bryan stands, while no Republi-
cans are going to transfer their vote to
the Democratic candidate. Judge
Taft, unlike Bryan, has espoused moth
ing radical. This fact appeals strong
ly to the business element, whether he
be large capitalist or manufacturer, or
small shopkeeper or producer. Un-
less all signs fail, we may now look for
an awakening of the voter in favor of
the election of Republican nominees in
Nation, State and Cameron county.

Who Paid the Bill.

Editor Press
Kindly state in this weeks PRESS, for the in
formation of your Readers, who paid for paving
Fourth street from Episcopal church to d. E.
Olmsted Block
ASUBSCRIBER.
The brick paving referred to was
jointly paid by the borough of Empo-
rum and Hon. Josiah Howard-the
pavement cost little over $4,000, Mr..
Howard paying an equal share for the
brick, sand, filling and laying, which
amounted to something over 100000,
aud the borough paid about $4,000
more, the difference being for the
excavating. The state of the Borough
finances would not allow the work
when this energetic citizen came to the
front, as he always does when needed.
When the state of Pennsylvania con-
structed the state road from Broad
street to West Greek bridge, Hon.
Josiah Howard again came to the re-
lief of Emporium and saved bond is
sue, by presenting his personal check
for $4,000. 1t does seem to be the
curse of this community, as we'll as
many others, to misjudge the motives
of every public spirited citizen. We
believe in according every man his
just dues. This question (by Subscrib-
cry has been repetedIy asked us. In
justice to Mr.. Howard, we desire to
state that he has repetedly refused to
allow his named used in connection
with donations towards public improve
ments. BY his works all citizens know
him and respect him as hieh-minded
and honorable christian gentleman,
battling for our entire county.
