Their Last Hope Gone.

When the minister praised the rasp-
Derry jam at Mrs. Green's bountiful
Saturday night supper, he could not
imagine why Angie and Horatio, tho

Yes, sir, | do" and Angie does"
said Horatio. in distinctly rcsentful

Cataclysmic Geology.

"Cataclysmic" geology no longer ex-
lists. 1t was once the accepted opin-

brought about by sudden and violent

Charles Lyell, as far back as 1898,
demolished the old theory Of cata-
clysm at one and forever. Sir Charles
proved by facts which were indisputa-

have been produced slowly by grad

BRIDES parents. Mrs. Walker has
visited Emporium several times, guest
of Mrs. Fred N. Seger and has made
many friends in town, who will vel
come her to our midst. Mr.. Walker

is known by all. After short bridal
tour the happy couple will be at home
at the Walker residence on Fourth

best wishes for happy and prosperous
journey through life. Several friends

Congressman Barclay on Canadian
Reciprocity.

We read with considerable in =
terest the able address delivered
by Congressman Chas. F. Barclay
before retiring from Congress, the
speech being delivered Feb. IA,
1911. We cordially endorse his
sentiments. While the Press edi-
tor does noe put up his opinions
against those of President Taft and
other Protectionists, we believe
in protection and are too old in
this belief to change our views at
this late day. If Reciprocity with
Canada wins out, we do not be-
lieve it will last any longer than
the Wilson bill did and that it will
be just as unpopular. We only
wish we had the space to give
Congressman Barclays speech in
full, but we have not.

Dedicated to the ..Croaker. :"

DeolGdLeu TO the 'GrOakeF.
''Bury the croaker out in the woods
in beautiful hole in the ground, where
the woodpecker pecks and the bumble
hee buns and the straddle bug strad-
dies around. He is no good to city
push-too impractical, stingy and
dead, but he wants the whole earth
and all of its crust and the stars that
shine overhead. Then hustle him off
to the bumblebee's roost and bury him
deep in the ground; he's no use here,
get him out of the way, and make
room for the man that is sound. !"

do not know who did, but it is all

Delighted With Harrisburg.

Mrs. Walter Morrison returned to
Emporium from Harrisburg last Fri
day afternoon, where she had been
spending several weeks with her hus-
band, who is employed in the Folding
and FASTING Department of the Legis-

her praise of the new capitol building
and says that the architect deserves a
pension instead of being censured. In
company with Mrs. Fred Dininny, Mrs.
Morrison made the Press office a social
and business call last Saturday after
noon. Mrs. Morrison will go to Harris
burg in a few days and will spend
some more time taking in the sights.

SartWell House Burned.

Last Monday morning at an early
hour the Sartwell House, at Port Ale
gany, was totally destroyed by fire. 1t
ls thought that the fire originated in
the kitchen of the hostelry and being
a frame building the flames spread
very rapidly. The guests all escaped
in safety, but many had to abandon
their wearing apparel and only escap-
ed in their night clothing. This pop
ular hotel has been in existence for up-
wards to sixty years and was known
10 almost every travelling man in Penn
sylvania. Mr. G. S. King was the pro.
| prietor aud had just about completed
negotiations for the sale and trans
fer of the property to Mr.. Nj. j.
O'Brien, of Troy, n. Y. A few years
| ago this hotel was remodeled and
made up-to-date in every particular.
The loss is estimated at $50, 900, partly
covered by insurance. 1t is a great
loss to Mr.. King and his family. The
PRESS has been reliably informed that
the hotel will not be rebuilt. Mr.. King
has opened up for business in a hotel
directly opposite the site of the burned
building. Mr.. O'Brien, who was to
| have purchased the Sartwell House,
arrived in town the day of the fire, just
IN time to see the smoking ruins. The
PRESS and the large number of friends
in this section certainly deeply sym
pathize with Mr.. King in his severe
loss. Being of an indomintable will
power, Mr.. King will soon be on deck,
as smiling as a maiden. I

That Western Explosion.

s%OOON1S
explosion at Pleasant Prairie, Wis,
last week, is sent us by former resi-
dent of this county, Mr.. Ed. Tracey,
whom many of our readers will re-
member. The article is copied from
the Kenosha Evening News of March
9TH
The big plant of the LaflinRand
Powder Company at Pleasant Prairie
in this county was completely wrecked
by an explosion at half past eight
O'Clock this evening, and with it the
town of Pleasant Prairie, and much of
the surrounding territory was devas
tated. Scores of people sustained
minor injuries as result of the ex-
plosiou, but as far as can be learned
only one man met his death. Deputy
Sheriffs are patrolliug the territory
about the ruined plant to protect peo-
pie from going near it, and there is no
chance to get absolute information
from the plant tonight.
Clarence Brady, the superintendent
of the plant, escaped with slight in
iuries and seventeen other men employ
ed at the plant had remarkable escapes
from death. These men, burned and
bleeding, lined up outside the ruins of
the plant after the fourth explosion
had thrown the wheel house into the
air, and it was noticed that E. S
Thompson, commonly known as the
''old man." was missing. Thompson
was in the Glace mill at the time of the
explosion and with him was Edward
Hillard. By some miracle Hillard es-
capped.
The men working in the soda house
some distance from the place where
the first explosion occurred, were
thrown into the air, several of them
These men, charred by the burning
powder, crawled on their hands and
knees to safety. They managed to
fight their way through the fam es and
the twisted machinery that Uttered the
ground to the village and sought aid
The conditions were such that no one
could approach the burning mills
which cover many acres of land, and
the men in charge of the plant declar-
ed, an hour after the explosion, that
it would be impossible to go near the
ruins of the plant until to- morrow
morning.
While the great plant of the COM
| pany is a complete loss, this is only a
portion of the loss caused by the ex-
| plosion, as the village of Pleasant
Prairie with its seven hundred people
is devastated. Not house remains
intact in the village and the people
are homeless, walking the streets,
wringing their hands and seeking
shelter for the night. Many of them
sustaining slight injuries but it is GER
tain that none of the people of the
village were killed. The houses how
ever were torn down, whole sides
being torn out of some of the houses
Many of the people were thrown into
the streets and scores were stunned by
the force Of the explosion.
