Edward Hughes stole march on his
many friends at this place, by quietly
stealing away, the last of the week, and
taking unto himself wife, in the per-
son of Miss Avis Lane, of Mason Hill.
Mr.. Hughes left Emporium on Friday
afternoon and went to Driftwood where
he was joined by his future wife and
Miss Rotha Kreider, of Driftwood, and
Mr.. Smithers, of Remove. The party
left Driftwood on the early flyer on
Saturday morning and went to Niagara
Falls and were quietly married on the
Canadian side of the Falls on Saturday
afternoon. Mrs. Hughes is a young
lady of Sterling worth and has been a
successful teacher in Cameron county
for several years and is sure to be a
true helpmate to the husband of her
choice. ed" as he is familiarly
known, is one of one of our enterpris.
young business men, enjoying lucra-
tive business at this place. 1t is a
lucky thing for Ed. and his wife that
the "Ramblers" did not know any
thing of his approaching wedding or
he certainly would have received all
that was coming to him; as it is, they
must abide their time and get even.
The PRESS joins with Mr.. and Mrs.
Hughes many friends at Emporium
and vicinity in wishing them life full
of happiness.

MAGNETISM.
sone OF tho Peculiar Properties Of This
Strange Force.

Some OF the Peculiar Properties Of This
Strange Force.
The true nature Of magnetism as
such, of course. is not known. All
that we can be sure Of is that mag
net1c attraction does not radiate out
ward in all directions as does light,
but simply acts along lines consisting
Of closed curves and called lines of
force, these lines connecting the two
poles and not extending very far out
ward between them. These curves
may be found very nicely by placing a
horseshoe magnet under a thin sheet
OF paper and sprinkling iron filings on
top. The filings will collect along the
lines.
Now, as to the different kinds of
magnets, there are natural, artificial
n electro magnets. The natural ones
are found as magnetic ore In the earth,
the artificial ones are made by stroking
a piece Of iron or steel with q mag
net, and the electro magnets are caus-
ed by the action Of an electric current.
Some peculiar things have been no
ticed In regard to magnetism, among
which are the following facts:
1t has been observed that fire irons
that have rested in one position dur
ing the summer months are often high
~ magnetized, no doubt having been
caused by the magnetism of the earth
Itself by the process known as induc-
ton. Other iron articles that stay in
one position and do not come In con
tact with fire or other heat are often
found in the same condition, such as
iron bars to Jail windows and iron
ratings in front of houses.
The most peculiar observation made,
however. was that the upper part Of
the steel tire of a carriage wheel at
tracts the north pole Of a magnet,
while the bottom part, or part In con-
tact with the earth. attracts the south
pole. This is in the northern hemi-
sphere only and is fully in accord with
the theory Of induced magnetism. or
course in the southern hemisphere,
where the earth is under the influence
of the south magnetic pole, the condi-
tons are reversed.
A magnet dipped into boiling water
loses a great part of its magnetism,
which Is miraculously restored to it on
becoming cool again.
A sharp blow given to a magnet will
cause 1t to lose its magnetism. Also
the application Of heat will have a
like effect.
If a magnetic needle be placed over
a rapidly revolving plate of copper. al
though it be separated from it by a
thick plate Of glass, the needle will
revolve in the same direction as the
plate.-Exchange.

manufacturing business. He spent
three years in the factories Of a COM
pany In Ansonia, Conn.,, and then de-
cided that he did not like the steady
confinement Of the work. C%onceiving
the idea of managing an Australian
sheep ranch, he made careful prepara-
tons for the venture and sailed from
New York city for Australia, where
he purchased a ranch. This business
was we'll started when a severe
drought killed the sheep, and Whitney
abandoned the plan and came home.
His love for ranching and open air
life remained, however, and he pur-
chased an Arizona ranch, where he
has remained a couple Of months each
year. He had a narrow escape from
death in a peculiar manner while on
his Arizona ranch a few years ago.
He was riding a mustang when an
insect few into his ear. He used
every means to dislodge the creature,
whose presence created ex%cruciating
pain. Tucson, the nearest place where
a surgeon might be found, was 100
miles away, but he headed for it and
rode at top speed. When he reached
Tucson he was raving mad and was
stopped for an insane man. His fate
would have been uncertain but for an
Elks' pin that he wore. Prominent
officers Of that order interested them
selves in his case, and he was taken
to st. Mary's hospital in that city,
where the physicians found out his
trouble and relieved him Of the insect.
Had he not reached Tucson before he
lost his senses he doubtless would
have died wandering on the plains.

COOK A DAREDEVIL AS A BOY

"Just Like Him" to Discover North
Pole, Say Cousins at Peoria, III.
DR.. Frederick A. Cook, discoverer OF
the north pole, has two cousins resid.
Ing in Peoria, ILL.,, Drs. III. Lewis and
Hiram E. Fineler.
If Fred Cook has discovered the
north pole it is just like him." said DIR.
H. Lewis Fineler. "In his childhood
there was no boy in the ne%ighborhood
like him. Greater daredevil did not
exist in that vicinity. His determine
ton was his dominant characteristic.
Giving full play to his adventurous
spirit, he was the terror Of the village
In the pranks incident to boyhood.
AT the same time there was moth
ing damboyant about him. He went
coon hunting by himself, but he al
ways brought back the coon. He
went to the north pole alone, and l
have no doubt that he discovered it.
When he grew up he went to the city,
and there his tremendous energy placed
him at the head Of his graduating
class in the college where he studied
medicine. He almost Immediately &C
quired an extensive and lucrative prac.
hce and eventually became acquainted
with Bradley, the millionaire, who has
assisted him In his exploring adven-
lures"

The Mine and the Mill.


The directors Of a mining company
with headquarters in New York, upon
whose property a "shoot' of milling
ore was discovered, decided to build a
large and expensive mill against the
protest of the superintendent. When
the mill was completed the ore shoot
had come to an end. A new superin-
tendent was employed, and explora-
ton work soon disclosed another body
of mineral. Anxious to make q record
and also to revive the early enthusi-
asm of the directors, the new superin-
tendent selected a soap box full Of the
choicest samples and sent them by ex.
press to the board.
The day after their arrival in New
York he received the following tele-
gram: "Start the mill at once"
The second ore body proved to be
but a small pocket" and that very
morning it had completely played out.
Explanations by telegraph were out
Of the question. The new superintend-
ent was in a quandary. He was noted,
however, for readiness in an emergen-
cy. His native talent did not desert
him. He suddenly got a bright idea
and, hurrying down to the telegraph
Office, dispatched this reply:
"Send back the mine, and I will start
the MILL"
