The figures may not be accurate
though In all probability they will be
close enough TO prove the main point.
And the reason?
Light attendance at Detroit this year
has been through no lack Of loyalty on
the part OF the fans. 1t has not been
occasioned by the fact that. during the
opening spring series the team was
in slump. IL Is not because the
Tigers lost the worlds series last
year, for the public has forgotten all
about that and is wildly enthusiastic
over the way Jennings men have
fought and won their resulting uphill
battle.
THE PEOPLE OF DETROIT HAVE
NOT HAD A REAL CHANCE TO SEE
THEIR TEAM IN ACTION THIS
YEAR. THAT'S ALL.
II 10 probably fact that the De-
troit baseball club has suffered
moreshome-ground postponements
than any club In the American
league this year.
u 10 still a more bitter piece Of
truth that the few days when the
team has played under favorable
auspices have been those on which
the great majority Of fans were
kept from the field by the nature
Of their various employments.
Opening day here was a swell after
noon and Detroit turned out nearly
$4,000 persons to see the Tigers in

That Street Paving.

Inasmuch as the street paving case
Will be carried to the Supreme Court
by the Borough of Emporium, we re-
frain from publishing Judge Halls
opinion at this time. Public improve
ments are always bitterly opposed and
we take it from the Judges decision
and opinion as rendered that he per.
personally favored the ordinance; he
says.
"We have arrived at this conclusion
only after most careful consideration
and very reluctantly, because we feel
that in the end it can be of no practi-
cal benefit to any one, and that its ef-
feet will be merely to delay for time,
a very desirable and much needed i'm
provement in the Borough of Empori-
um. If there were an appeal from our
dicision we would feel very much dis
posed to hold that the Tulis signature
was valid in the absence of condition
specifically stated, hoping that the ap-
pellate Court might sustain us in the
interest of the progress and welfare of
the town, but as there is no such appeal,
and, therefore, no redress if we should
be in error, we are bound under our
conscience and our oath to decide the
case strictly under the law as it now
exists and as we understand it,"

CLEANS New Librarian.

Miss Maud Brooks, of Olean, who re-
Gently catalogued the Emporium
Library, was on Sept 10Th, elected
librarian of the Olean Public Library
which will be pleasing news to the
lady's many Emporium friends. The
Ofean Times, while speaking of their
library, says: "The contract to build
the new library building was let to
VIM. Hanley, and for the steam heat
ing to VIM. H. Simpson, who were the
lowest bidders. The new building, for
which Andrew Carnegie makes a gift
of $4,000, will be fire proof, 55xsO
foot, and two stories high"
The Emporium Library, which is one
of the most complete in the country, is
maintained almost entirely by Hon.
Josiah Howard, who is ever on the
watch for improvements. Those who
visit our model and up-to-date library,
where valued information and inter-
esting literature, of the present, as we'll
as ancient times, can always be found,
are loud in their praise of Emporium's
library. Reader, do yoU visit our
library? If not, why not?

Captain Barclay, and the Republi-
can Party, assumed that he was
gentleman have at all times en-
deavored to treat him as one, and
sincerely desire to continue so to

ers in the district, and it is said
that Mr.. Walker himself, have been
making personal attacks upon Mr..
Barclay, that they know to be alb
solutely without truth.
We sincerely hope and want to
believe, that Mr.. Walker is in no
way responsible for these attacks
upon the character and business
reputation of Mr.. Barclay, whose
whole life is refutation of them {;
and unless we are mistaken in as
suming that Mr.. Walker is gen

The Importance of Electins a Re-
publican Congress.

A Republican President with demo-
cratic Congress would result in handi-
Gaping the Administration.
A Democratic House would involve
the attempt to pass all sorts of vicious
legislation that would cause uncer-
tainty in business, check the wheels OF
progress, and be disastrous to the poll
ces inaugurated by President Roose-
welt.
In this Congressional district the Re.
publicans has Captain 9. F. Barclay as
their candidate for reelection.
He is veteran of the Civil War.
He has been attentive to his duties
as Congressman, and is a sound pro-
tectionist.
He has sustained the President in all
important legislation.
He is opposed to the free trade doc
trine of Organism.
He is on the Committee of Pensions,
and is in position to look after the
welfare of the old soldiers.
He deserves the hearty support of
every Republican in the District.
The Democratic candidate is w. H.

He is committed to Bryanism and

He would vote for free trade if elect

But why should people vote for

He is clever fellow socially.
He has no qualifications as legis-

He has not achieved any great sue

He is inclined to be windy, using

But he has achieved some local re-

Letter From Almeron Chapman.
New WENACHEE, WASH.

New WENACHEE, WASH.
Sept 2Sth, 1908.
FRIEND MULLIN:-I am spending
few weeks vacation in the Wenachee
Valley enjoying its beautiful scenery,
its lofty peaks, snow clad, on the Cas-
cade range, its beautiful orchards,
laden with fruits of all kinds, which
can better be described by using the
language OF Bishop Hughes, of the M.
E. Church, in writing home to his son,
in describing the country said: ga
land were plums grow as big as
peaches, peaches as big as apples,
apples as big as cantalopes, cantalopes
as big as MELONS, MELONS as big as
pumpkins" When here few weeks
ago, presiding at the Columbia River
Conference, he said: "This is land
where plums grow as big as peaches,
etc., and MELONS as big as pumpkins.
aud pumpkins as big as all out doors"
He might have added as dusty as all
creation. The soil is of volcanic
ash, and the dry weather, and high
winds make it almost uncomfortable at
times. There is no growing vegeta-
tion without irrigation from May to
October, bnt with irrigation excellent
crops and fruit are grown.
We will return to Spokane in about
two weeks and be ready to help carry
the State of Washington for Taft and
Sherman, which we have not bit of
doubt of doing.

Something There to Please All.

oOIIletTinS mere TO FleaSe All.
A new evidence of the brightness
and progressiveness of Emporium will
be given Thursday and Friday even
ings, Oct. 22d and 23rd, when 200 of
our most popular bellies and beaux will
exhibit their versatility and talent in
the Business Mems Carnival, which is
to be held at the Opera House under
the auspices of the ladies of the M. E.
Church, of Emporium.
The author of this sprightly enter
tainment, Mrs. M. A. Harris, of Car
Isle, Pa, has arrived in our town for
the purpose of drilling and rehearsing
the large cast for this carnival, which
is the very latest in home talent pro-
ductions, and is of the vaudeville
order.
Twenty-Five spirited specialties are
introduced each night, in rapid and
sparkling succession, Jews, Reubens,
droll colored gentlemen, maiden lad
les, wicked boys, Spaniards, Italians
and Irishmen to say nothing of theGer
mans, chase each other in one long
ha-ha. Farce and frolic, sense and
nonsense, beauty and music vie with
each other in the rush to please.
All the best and most tuneful of the
popular airs will be sung.
Then there are appealing classical
pieces to be rendered by our leading
vocalists, for those who love really
good music.
The skits present the merits of our
leading business men in an entirely
novel way. Wherever the carnival
| has been presented, the unanimous
verdict has been that it was the very
best home talent performance ever
| given.
| Did you ever see two lovers quar-
rel? Come and see it produced and
hear the charming and beautiful music
to it, sung by the most gallant ofSpan-
ish cavaliers and the daintiest of
senoritas.
Did you ever see any fun in Wash
day? Well, you'll see it here; poor
Mrs. Brown probably didn't, but you'll
be sure to roar.
Suffice is to say there is something
in the carnival to please all, and you'll
miss some good home talent efforts if
you fail to go and see it.
