TENER'S DENIAL
is CHEERED ALL
ALONG THE LINE.
"NeYer Swindled Anyone in My
Life" He Tells. The People
Believe Him.
HIS WORD ACCEPTED

II want to say, to the people that
never swindled anybody in my life.
There is not a man, women or child in
these United States who dares say that
| ever sold them a share of get-rich-
quick company stock"
John K. Tener, the Republican con
| didate for governor, made the state
ment quoted above. 1t was received
with laud applause. The manner of
his saying it carried the conviction
that he was uttering the truth. The
| quotation is from the preface to his
reading of the statement in which he
| emphatcally denies the charges made
| against his business record He has
employed able lawyers in Pittsburgh
| and Philadelphia to look after his in
terests. His traducers are to hear
more from him. Before reading the
statement Mr. Tener said:
TARGET FOR vILLIFICATIoN.
81 want to make a special statement.
1t seems that every candidate as soon
as he is nominated becomes a target
for criticism and vilification.
II am said to be unfit for the office,
and should not have political prefer
ment because | happen to have been a
baseball player. | am glad and proud
of the fact that did play baseb all and
/ want to say that would rather have
been baseball player and have that
my only claim to fame than to go
about in sleeps clothing speaking i'll
of my fellow men want to ask the
young men and the fathers of those
young men if they for moment think
any good, honest, outdoor sport should
bar them from any advancement in
life.
Il am also accused of belonging to a
certain fraternal organization. / am
pround that | am member of that or
ganization, and doubt whether there
is one man in this audience who does
not belong to some good, charitable
and benevolent fraternity. | want to
knowledge my membership in that
organization and to say that | am
prouder of it than ever was before.
STRENUOUS DENIAL OF CHARGES.
"You have also read recently of the
charge which connects me with an al
legged swindling concern. l want to
say to you that never swindled any
body in my life. There is not man,
woman or child in the United States
who dares say that l ever sold them
share of get-rich-quick company
stock. | want to make answer to the
charge and want to make it empha-
tic, and in order that l make no mis-
take am going to read the statement
which dictated yesterday"
After reading the statement, Mr..
Tener concluded:
II was regurlarly nominated by the
accredited representatives of the peo-
pie and do not propose to withdraw
from this ticket for any man or any
set OF men,"

Changed Location.

Mr.. A. DeArmit, formerly resident
of this county but lately in the hotel
business at Covington, Va, has m owed
to Hemlock, Md, and purchased the
Glen Oak Hotel. The Crawford, Nd,
Record, in its Hemlock items we note:
MIR. \. DeArmit, the new proprie-
tor of the Glen Oak Hotel, has taken
charge and everything gives promise
that he will conduct first-class hotel.
The Glen Oak Hotel has been very
much improved during the past week,
by the installation of electric lights in
the office and the dining room. The
whole house is now lighted by electri-
city"
Mr.. DeArmit is a hustler, and will
no doubt give the residents of Hem
lock first-class satisfaction.

Should Give No Heed.

If the business men and working
men of this favored land would keep
in mind, when they hear or read at
tacks on Protection, the inevitable
consequences to trade and wages of a
victory for either Free Trade or a

A Serious Accident.

saturday evening, about nine O'Clock,
while walking on the tracks, on his
way home, to Sterling Run from Cam
eron, where he had been visiting some
friends during the evening, Mr.. Jessie
Parker was struck by train just few
rods east of the Ritchey bridge, about
one and one half miles east of Cameron,
which resulted in the loss of his right
arm, just few inches below the shoul-
der, his right ear nearly torn off, sew
eral severe scalp wounds and very
deep cash on his chin. He was found
in an unconscious condition about
twelve-thirty Sunday morning by a
man who was walking the track on his
way to Emporium.
Section Foreman John May was
promptly notified as soon as possible,
and the injured man was taken to his
home, when Doctors Bush and Smith,
of Emporium, were called and gave
him the necessary medical aid. After
consultation it was decided to take
the injured man to the Ridgway Hos
pital, which was done on the Erie mail
west, due at five O'Clock.
He is reported getting along as we'll
as can be expected, as he is very weak,
having nearly bled to death before he
was found, but it is understood he will
live.

Very Pleasant Occasion.

A number of visitors attended Drift
wood Masonic Lodge last Friday even
ing and were well paid for their time.
The Driftwood boys are always strict
ly up-to-date in all their doings. I'm
mediately after the business had been
transacted light refreshments were
served, (under the direction of Tyler
George Towers) by the following pleas
ant young ladies: Misses Flora and
Laura Mcdonald, daughters of Hon.
John Mcdonald, Martha Osborn, Mar
ion Towers and Jennie Gleason,
daughter of Mr.. L. w. Gleason. The
pretty young ladies, clad in lamb skin
aprons, quietly entered the room and
served the small eaters in very credit
able manner. 1t is a rule of Driftwood
Lodge to allow only daughters of
Master Masons this privilege. 1t was
certainly unique and a beautiful sight.

Stole to Marry-Now in Jail.

A Coudersport correspondent writes:
GA heart-broken bride of two weeks
sobs away the hours at her home in
| Austin, while her young husband, a
prisoner in the county Jail here, awaits
, the disposition of his case by the Court
on charge of peculiar robbery. BY his
own confession the thefts stretche d
over period of several months, and
were for the purpose of affording his
bride-to-be good time, for with por-
tion of the money taken he bought
household goods for their new home.
This they occupied just one week,
when the bauble broke and the young
wife saw her boy husband led away a
prisoner by Constable Baker, while
she went back to her parents home to
prepare to have her marriage with the
young man annulled.
For year there had been no more
| devoted lover in Austin than was
George Resser to Miss Mary A. Meyer.
Reeser is good-looking, dressed nicely
and appeared to have all the money
necessary to live without working a
great deal. He explained that he had
just come into snug sum of money
through the death of an uncle.
Nothing was too good for his pretty
sweetheart, one of the most popular
girls in Austin, and the daughter of
highly-respected people. She had car
riage and automobile rides and attend
ed all the picnics and festivals.
For year or more young Resser had
made his home with Mr.. and Mrs. Sam
nel Clary, an aged couple of Austin,
who found their livelihood in a truck
patch, near their home, added to
small pensian which Mr.. Clary receives,
he being veteran of the civil war.
The Clarys were saving of their little
fund, and though they had saved near
ly $500, they would not trust it in
bank, but kept it in box in trunk.
From there all but 500 was stolen, and
Resser has confessed the ingratis crime.

Secretary

Message From the Skies. Am
ericans for Americans.
Does the American public ever stop
to consider what would happen if an
invader should gain possession of our
shores?
Now is the time our great country
should take steps to prevent such a
thing from happening. 1t is known
fact that some day Japan will attempt
to dictate in regard to the affairs of
this country. The author of " A Mes
sage From the Skies" which il to be
placed in Dramatic form, has placed a
timely warning before the American
people by drawing little on the ina
gination aud showing what would hap
pen If the yellow race ever succeeded
in landing on our shores. OF course
the story is fiction, but never the less
the fact remains, that II il not at all
improbable.
This great play which will be pre-
sented at the Opera House, for one
night, Oct. Goth, has created u sensa-
tion wherever II has been played, The
company which numbers IA people, ID
headed by Miss Ella Kramer, suppor.
ted by such we'll known players as

don, Al. Massey and others The com.
pany carries a fue band aud all lovers
OF good music should avail themselves
of the opportunity 10 hear such an or
ganization. Popular prices will pre-
vail for the performance while the
band concerts will be- absolutely free.

gratulations and best wishes. Mr..
Tener and his colleagues made a very
favorable impression upon our citizens.
While many regretted that speaking
had not been arranged for, all realized
that the speakers needed rest for the
arduous work before them from now
until Nov. sth, when Cameron county
will roll up one of its old time Repub-
llcan maIorities to assist In electing
the entire ticket by 10000 majority.
The hopeless division In the ranks of
Democracy spells defeat with big d.

bration.
One of the greatest patriotic demon
strations ever held in the United States
will take place in 1913 on the battle
field of Gettysburg, if the plans dis
cussed at preliminary meeting of the
arrangements are carried out. The
demonstration will be in Observance
OF The fftieth anniversary Ol tho great
battle between the Union army under
Gen. Meade and the Confederate fore
es under Gen. Lee. That the celebra-
tion of the semi-centennial will be
truly national in its scope is already
assured by the acceptance by nearly
all the States of the invitation to parti-
cipate. Two of the Southern States,
Georgia and North Carolina, were the
first to respond to the invitation. 1t is
expected that the Grand Army of the
Republic and the United Confederate
Veterans will have the leading parts
IN arranging for the celebration and
that virtually all the other patriotic
organizations of the country will par
ticipate.
