Judge Green for Supreme Court
Judge.

The very cordial endorsement OF
Judge Green's candidacy for the Re
publican nomination for Justice of the
Supreme Court of Pennsylvania by the
members of the Bar of every county
composing this judicial district--Clin-
ton, Cameron and Elk counties-is
very gratifying to the able jurist's
friends, who recognize in Judge Green
that eminent ability displayed in thirty
five years. active practice before the
courts of the West Branch Valley, as
we'll as the Supreme and U. S. Courts,
followed by an honorable career as
President Judge of this the 25th Judi
cial District. The extensive manufact-
uring, farming, mining and business
interests of the great North West,
never yet accorded representation on
the Supreme Bench, know and appre-
ciate Judge Green's bright, able and
conscientious legal ability and will be
highly honored and gratified should he
be nominated as the successor to Judge
Mitchell Many other able gentlemen
are mentioned as candidates, but none
surpass our favorite. The convention
will make no mistake if they nominate
Hon. B. w Green for Justice of the
Supreme Court.

Senator Boies Penrose Scores
Third Term.

The reelection of United States Sem
ator Boies Penrose for the third term
on Tuesday, by 1893, to 40 for Senator
Dimeling, is royal and just vindica-
tior. No public official has been more
bitterly and outrageously maligned in
recent years than Senator Penrose, un-
less it was that greatest and most loved
and feared, the lamented Matthew
Stanley Quay. 1t was great victory
for Senator Penrose and terrible re-
buke to the character assassins and
yellow journals. Senator Penrose,
the hardest worker in the United States
Senate, simply sawed wood and the
people championed his cause.

clipping taken from the CAMERON
COUNTY PRESS, published Jan. %,
1891, and the anniversary of the event
was celebrated in fine order last Mon
day evening by a dance given at the
Theatorium hall in honor of Miss Ellen
Auchu. The party was a complete sur
prise, the plans having been made by
several of her friends, and it was in
deed genuine, as the young lady never
once thought of such a thing. Miss
Auchu is one of Emporium's most
charming and jolly daughters and,
after the effects of the surprise passed
away, proceeded in her usual happy
way to make her guests have a good
time, indeed all, who were lucky
enough to receive an invitation, had.
Mesdames Henry Auchu and A. F.
Vogt were patronesses of the evening.
The "wee sma' hours" arrived all too
quickly and the guests departed for
their homes wishing Miss Auchu many
happy returns of the day. Those pres

To relieve the worst forms of Rheu-
matism, take a teaspoonful of the fol-
lowing mixture after each meal and at
bedtime:
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one.half
ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce;
Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three
ounces.
These harmless ingredients can be
obtained from our home druggists, and
are easily mixed by shaking them we'll
in q bottle. Relief is generally felt
from the first few doses.
This prescription forces the clogged-
up, inactive kidneys to filter and strain
from the blood the poisonous waste

Rheumatism.
AS Rheumatism is not only the most
painful and tocturous disease, but dan

no doubt be greatly valued by many
sufferers here at home, who should at
once prepare the mixture to get this

An Ancient Indian VillaSe
BY DILLON

Down by the sea-, hidden amongst
a maze of network of lagunas, some
leagues north of San Bias, lies the
ancient Indian village of MeXcalta-
tan. You will not find it on the map,
and you will find no mention of it in
the official reports of Mexico, for in
that respect, at least, this unique rel
ic of the past seems to have been
quite forgotten by the government
though it's fisheries make it perhaps
the most important town of its size
in the republic.
Mexcaltatan was originally built
upon piles, and hidden in this Sc
cluded spot amongst the myriad Of
lagunas, which are characteristic Of
this section of the western coast, to
protect it against the warlike Indians
of the mainland, just as Tenochtitlan
was built upon. piles in Tezcuco Lake
as a safe retreat from the surround
ing tribes with which the Aztec
founders were at war.
Tradition says that the town was
founded by the Aztecs, in the course
of their migration to the southwark
and that it is therefore older than
Mexico City. Of this no man can
know for a certainty. The Spaniards
and their priests of the Conquest in
blind, unreasoning bigotry so effect
ually destroyed all records of an
cient Mexico that the country's his
tory is yelled behind a curtain of
deepest mystery through which no
eye can see, and her past will forever
remain silent. But one is brought
very close indeed, in. fancy, at least.
to those forgotten ages, and that
vanquished people, as n traverses
to-day the canals of this Mexican
Venice in primitive dugout canoes, in
the same manner as her founders did
away back in that forgotten period.

naming on the North American
