Tn Union Labor Party of this
County met in Convention at this
plaee on Saturday last and put in
nomination the following County
ticket: For Assembly —B. W
Douthett, of Penn Tp., and Thomas
Brady, of Donegal Tp For Jurj
Commissioner, Mr. Peter W. Thomas
of Connoquenessiug Tp. Congress
ional and Senatorial Conferrees were
appointed to meet similar conferrees
from the other Counties of the Con

as alternate. Charles Melvin was
chosen County Chairman and W. J.
Bodgers, Sec'y. John Glass was
continued as Treasurer.
Tn* Supreme Court of this State
made a decision last Monday that
will go far to settle the license ques
tion in tbe future. A Philadelphia
applicant who was refused a license
•ought to compel tbe lower Court,
through the Supreme Court, to grant
his application. But tbe Supreme
Court refuses so to do, and says li
censes may be refused, even if an ap
plicant has complied with all tbe pro
visions of the law, is a proper man,
and so objection bad been made to
him or bis petition. In other words
that license i* not a legal right. But
that a Court, from any cause, even of
its own knowledge, may deny a li
cense if it thinks it not necessary for
the public, and that tbe act of 1887
lodges this full discretionary power to
restrain liquor selling in the hands of
tbe Judges. We will publish the
opinion in full next week,
Money at the Primary.
Since the late Republican primary
•lection in this county we have re
ceived information of the use of
money in various parts of the county
on tbe National Delegate contest.
As an instance of what bascome to our
knowledge, a friend of Mr. W. C.
Thompson wrote to a certain leading
Republican of a township, asking
him to support Mr. Thompson, and if
be did so to a certain extent, it would
be worth to him fifty dollars, over
and above all expenses, or words to
tbat t fleet. We have also received
word of other improper means uuod
in tbe National Delegate election and
publish this now to request our
friends to at once send us any nod all
kuowiedgo thuv may have of the use
of money in thf-ir districts. It is a
matter thai concerns tbe honor, in
tegrity and interests of the Republi
can party in this county, and we hope
no Republican will fe«l backward in
bringing us or sending us anything
he may know in this matter. Such
information will be confidential and

The Union Labor Convention.
At the coavention of the Union
Labor party of Butler County in
Reiberto nail last Saturday afternoon
the foliowiug State and County plat
forms were adopted:
STATE PLATFORM.

armed guards by corporations for the

Henry George land theory.
Our Legislative Nominees.
The below from the Harrisburg
Telegraph relative to the recent nom
inations made i i >ur County for the
Senate and Assembly, will be heart
ily endorsed by the Republicans of
this county. It speaks knowingly
in what it says as to Dr. Showalter's
record and landing while a member
of the lower House, and in expressing
tbe opinion that he should be nomi
nated and elected in this Senate district
it but voices tbe general sentiment.
When tbe district conference comes
to meet we hope our Republican
friends of Armstrong County will
look on the matter in the same way
and join in giving the Doctor the dis
trict nomination:
"The Butler county Republicans
have done themoelves proud in nomi
nating their Legislative ticket. The
choice for Assembly has fallen on
Capt. R. I. Boggs and Joseph
Thomas, Jr., two exceptionally wor
thy men, of broad and liberal views
and splendid capabilities. Hon, J.
B. Sbowalter is their choice for Sena
tor, and bis record is such that the
district should have no hesitancy iu
unanimously endorsing him. Mr.
Sbowalter was a most intelligent
legislator, always at his post, keenly
alive not only to the interests of his
couuty but of tbe entire state. A man
of integrity, of ripe judgment and
high-toned moral worth, Mr. Sho
walter should be selected as Senator
from the Butler and Armstrong dis
trict."—Harrisburg Telegraph.
First Flowers of May.
The flowers of May are here—and
what is more refreshing ami lovely?
The first of all to come in fields and
woods Is the white flowering of the
small tree known as the "service
berry," by sonic* called "June berry"
—just how this term "service" came,
and what it meaos, we have never
fully learned. But seen among the
bleak oaks and other yet leafless forest
trees, its flowers are every spring
most welcome. Prettier still, and far
more charming, is the peach tree blos
soms, which are the next to put in uu
appearance. In passing through the
country, just at this time, nothing
could be more lovely and beautiful
than the sight of the pink colored
peach blossoms. As Been alone aloug
the fence rows or in the corners of the
fields, surrounded on all sides by
naked and dreary objects, the new and
tender flowerß of the little peach tree
are indeed an inHpiring sight. The
flowers of spring are ulways welcome
but these first ones of May fill the
mind with the most pleasant emo
tions.

Politics Of the Nation.
NEW YORK, May 2—The second
anti-saloon Republican National Con
ference began its sessions today at
tbe Cooper Union. There was pres
ent about 150 delegates during the
morning session, and in tbe afternoon
tbe number amounted to about 125
According to the official list there
were delegates present from Alabama,
Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Delaware.
Indiana, Illinois, lowa, Kansas,
Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts,
Minnesota, New Hampshire, New
Jersey, Rhode Island, Tennessee,
Vermont and New York. Delegates
from some other states are expected
to be present to-morrow.
At 10 o'clock Albert Griffin, of Kan
sas, called the meeting to order, and
Rev. Henry S. Deforrest, president
of the Talladega College, Talladega,
opened the convention with a prayer.
Mr. Griffin, in outlining the busiuees
of the Convention, spoke of the evil
of the saloon and the necessity of
curbing its power and said that the
only army that could oyerthrow it
was the Republican party. Seventy
five per cent of the Republican party,
he said were opposed to the saloon,
and 15 per cent of the remainder were
indifferent. He did not think that
there was more than half of 1 per
cent of the Republican party iu favor
of the saloon, and he thought they
would be eliminated at the next Na
tional Convention, and tLc soouer
they left the party tbe tetter. [Ap
plause.] Tbe other per cent c«uld
be saved to the party if tbey were
not driven out by the proposition of
too radical measures. He then read
a circular which he had sent out to
prominent Republicans, inviting them
to be present, and to this be had re
ceived many replies, sympathizing
with the object of the Convention
and giving reasons for not being able
to attend. He read a few of the re
plies received. Senator Sherman
wrote:
"I will not be able to attend on ac
count of official duties. I certainly
would support all reasonable meas
ures tending to restrain the evils that
confessedly flow from the sale of liq
uors in the saloon. The proper rem
edy for these evils depends so much
upon the status of public opinion in
the community in which the law is to
operate that no rule or even regula
tion can be enforced in all places a
like."
Senator Evarts wrote: "I hope
your expectations of an influential
meeting will be realized and that
your efforts for the beu it of the Re
publican party in ita enlistment
against ealoon politics will triumph."
Mr. Griffin said also that Chauncev
M. Depew bad promised to send a
letter, but noue had beeu received.
He then named as the temporary
chairman General Thomas G. Mor
gan, Rhode Island.
General Morgan said tbe object of
the the Convention was to bring an
influence to bear upon tbe National
Convention which shall induce it to
speak out with no uncertain sound
upon this temperance questiou. Al
luding to speech of Mr. Lamar before
Club, be quoted from it the express
ion that the "Republic is opportuni
ty." He (the speaker) said he would
say rather "tbe Republic is duty."
and this was applicable to the party
as well as to the individual, and to
the party the Republic was duty
rather than opportunity. Other
speeches were made by General Stew
art L. Woodford and General Nettle
ton, of Minnsota.
The Pairs Passed It.
WASHINGTON, D. C.. May 7 —The
Louisiana Legislature meets next
Monday and a Senator is to be elect

sary. Mr. Blanchard, of Louisiana,
who. as Chairman of the River and
Harbor Committee, has tak'jn charge
of the rivers, harbors and bayous of
Louisiana to the extent of a million
or two, is a candidate for Mr. Gib
son's seat This was the last chauce
to get the hill through iu time to
make every appropriation count as
fodder to his Senatorial boom, lie
made a tremendous effort aud thor
oughly deserved the congratulations
be received upon his success.
As passed by the House, the bill
increases the appropriation for tbe
improvement of Buttermilk Channel,
New York, from $30,000 to $100,000;
Gowanus Bay, SIO,OOO to $20,000;

ed. It was the pairs that passed the
bill. As it took a two to one vote to
carry the bill, every supporter of the
bill who was paired counted as much
as two.
Whitmire Well.
From reliable Information we can
state that the well on Jacob Whit
mire farm, Oakland Tp., between
Boydstown and Greece City, is a
good one it is not permitted to have
full flow, as Deither tanks or pipes
are in place for it yet, but it gives
every indication that when ail things
are ready and in shape it will be a
good flower, as high it is thought as
200 barrels per day. Should all this
prove, as now confidently expected, to
bo the result, this new well will open
up a large field and reproduce the old
and exciting times in and around
Greece City.

COMMUNICATIONS.
Weslern Kansas.
, Eds. Citizen: —A little mare thau
a year a£o I took Horace Greeley's
• advice aud came west; located in the
i couuty named ia Lis honor, the new
| est couuty in Kansas. Some of my
I Butler couuty friends requested me
Ito write a description of Western
j Kansas And by your leave, Mr.
i Editor, I will give, so far as I can,
my experience and observations
througk the columns of your paper.
But one year in a county so recently
settled as Greeley, cannot be taken as
a sample of the years to come. Gree
lev couaty is situated in the centre of
the state north aud south, bounded
on the west by the state of Colorado.
It is 80 miles long by 25 miles wide.
The surface is a gently rolling prairie,
every acre of which is tillable. The
soil, a dark loam mixed with sand,
and by chemical analysis has been
found to coutain potash, soda, phos
phate of lime, carbonate of lime aud
other substances ueeessary to plant
growth. The crops that did the best
last year, ou sod or first plowing,
were sorghum, fodder corn, broom
cora, millet and melons of all kinds.
Owing to the stiffness of the sod corn
does not ear well, neither do the
smaller grains yield well on sod. Al
most all of the crop raised last year
was upon sod. In addition to those
mentioned, the following named crops
did well on second plowing: rye, po
tatoes, turnip 3, peauuts, peas, beans
and onion 3. There was no wheat
raisri here last year. I have been
but one piece that was sown last fall
and looks well now. \Y T e had more
rain last year thau they had in coun
ties east of this; but that is no assur
ance that we will have plenty this
year. There is more danger of a dry
year, and consequently failure of
crops, here than in Pennsylvania-
But as the country becomes settled,
broken up, cultivated, etc, the rainfall
increases, such has been the history
of Kansas iD the past. It seldom
raius here in the winter,consequently
the roads are in good condition all
winter. We had a little sleighing this
winter but there is seldom any sleigh
ing in westernKausas. We got our first
rain last year on the 14th and this
year oa the 7th April. There are few
springs of water iu this county, good
water is obtained at a depth of from
25 to 100 feet, more frequently the
latter. Western Kansas is practicuily
void ot timber, only a few cottonwood
trees growing along some of the
streams. I haven't seen a natural
growing tree in Greeley Co. There
were some trees planted last year
that did well, and by the close of the
present year, thousands of trees and
tree seeds, both fruit and forest will
have been planted. The sun iimuch
hotter here than ia Pennsylvania.
But there is almost always a gentle
breeze of wind (sometimes though it
isn't so very gentle), so that the heat
isn't so noticeable. During the past
winter we had some very seyc-re
weather. We had four blizzards It
wouldn't be safe to be out on the prai
rie, unless you were iu a house, dur
ing a b!izz*rd. There were no per
sons lost or frozen here last winter,
though some of the eastern papers re
ported a number of deaths thereby.
We had more nice warm weather
last winter than I ever experienced
during any previous winter in the
east.
The elevation, parity of the air,
freedom from swatups, etc, places
western Kansas above tho reach of
ague, and renders it generally health
ful. Thj Missouri Pacific railroad
runs through the centre ot the couuty
and others are beiug constructed, so
that the products of every clime can
be brought within our reach.
Church and school advantages are
as good in this as in any other new
county. In the towns, Horace, Trib
une, liiod and Colokan, either the
Methodists, Baptists, Cumberland
Presbyterians or United Presbyteri
ans have preaching every Sabbath.
There are also Sabbath schools and
day schools, not only in each of these
towns but also in different parts of
the couuty. A colony of Cuited
Presbyterians is located in the
western part of the county. They
organized a congregation less
thou a year ago, and
at present number 125 communicants.
They have erected a frame church
building and have Sabbath school and
preaching every Sabbath also day
schools in different parts of the colo
ny. North of the U. P. colony is a
soldiers' colony. While many per
sons come here for speculation only,
many more come to get homes and to
stay if the seasons and crops will jus
tify them in doiug so. But what the
future of western Kansas will be re
mains to be seen. Surely this broad
and beautiful prairies was not design
ed to always remain uninhabited save
by range cattle, antelopes, wolves and
and other wild animals, but it seems
that the time has come for man, the
paragon of animals, to take possess
ion, discover that to which it is best
adapted aud thereby cause it to con
tribute more fully,perhaps, to the will
of Him who formed it; and also to
the general good of mankind.

J. P. 11.
A Postmaster Gathered in.
Ar.TOoffA, May s.—lt has been
evideut to Assistant United States
Marshall F.»rd for some time past
that an exjwrt gang of counterfeiters
was at work iu the mountains near
this city, and his# suspicions were
more than confirmed by information
that reached him last Tuesday that
the coiners were located near Coal
port, a coke and lumber town on tbn
Bell's Gap Railroad In company
with Detective Simpson. Ford went
out the road Friday morning, and by
a circuitous movement they gained
| g ii:»vil the h»us.' ot !s:iac Edmunson,
i arivaline him while at work on the
| dies, lie was caught iu the act, and
, surrendering without, resistance, was
taken in iron* to Bell wood. Coun
terfeit silver money iu various de
nominations was found on him.
This nvrning two detectives and
Marshal Ford returned to Lloydsville.
and proceeding to work on clues dis
covered on Edmunsoo, they footed
across the woods to Horner's Notch,
a wild and rocky fastness ia the Alle
ghenies, where even the backwoods
man rarely enters.
Th re th»y surprised Daniel Gar
man in a board and bark
shauy, surrounded by the imple
ments of the counterfeiter, and was
just about pouriDg out metal into a
series of dollar moulds before him
Garmaa dropped the pouring pot and
reached for an old carbine stantliug iu
a corner of the room. Detective
Simpson promptly knocked him
down and put him in chains.
A search of the premises followed,
and in a small hole near the rocks,
discovered by the mearest accident,
nearly $2,000 in counterfeit coin was
found. Garman admitted that this
sum of the spurious represented five
weeks ot hard toil, The dies captur
ed were very complete, aud there
were several plates of notb engraving
but they had not been used.
Returning to Lloydsville, Marshall
Ford stepped into the postoffice, and
going up to the counter said: "You're
John Myers, I believe."
"That's my name, sir."
"Well, I want you to come along
with me. You have been robbing
the mails and assisting ia some jobs
oat here on the hills."
The recently appointed postmaster,
Myers, turned several colors as he
eyed the Marshall, but leaving the
place in charge of his son, he accom
panied him
Myers has hitherto been a highly
respected citizen, arid as the proprie
tor of the famous Mountain House,
is known to a great many people in
this section of the State. The evi
dence is direct, concerning his con
nection with the counterfeit gang.
Proceeding to Coalport with Gar
man and Myers, the Marshall left
them iu charge of detectives, and .iro-
i oi? over to Blainc'City found two more
counterfeiters hustling halves and
quarters from the moulds. He sur
prised them at the point of the pistol,
and marched back to Coalport with
th ee complete outfits of moulds and
dies. The men gave their names as
Estep and Lord, and refused to speak
beyond charging their arrest to Ed
inunson, who gave the whole busi
ness away.
The entire valley is excited over
the raid. There has beeu nothing
like it since Gregory and his gang
were taken nine year ago. Marshal
Ford aud the detectives took the five
counterfeiters to Huntingdon this af
ternoon. They were heavily ironed,
and ufter a preliminary hearing will
be trans/erred to the Eastern Peniten
tiary at Philadelphia to await trial in
the United States Circuit Court The
raid will he continued throughout
Sunday in the vicinity o! I'unxtu
tawney, where two gangs are located.
Frederick In His Agony.
BERLIN, May 6 —The rain and
sleet to-day have penetrated the
double windows of the Imperial Pal
ace. His Majesty is worse than at
any time within the past few days
to-uight, but an improvement is de
pended on with the arrival of better
weather. The rojrjl patient seems
to have lost all strength of lungs and
limbs. Another relapse is expected
by the medical experts. At each re
lapse the most unfortunate of mon
archs seem 3 perceptibly lower. Dr.
Mackenzie, when seen to-day, was
remarkably uervous, "a sure that
his Majesty was worse. To night
the best information around the
palace is that his fever is higher, and
his general condition unsatisfactory.
A driviug storm has dispelled the
crowd. Only gloomy and dumb sen
tinels are to be seen and all ingress
is barred at the palace.
I have heard tonight from a physi
ci&n in a position to speak with en
tire accuracy, that the suffering of the
Emperor was so great duriog the ro
ceut trouble with the insertion of the
tube, followed by tho resignation of
Surgeon Bergmanu, that he actually
tore tho sheets in his agony. It was
only at the last minute, when there
was imminent danger of suffocation,
that Dr. Mackenzie called Bergmaun,
by means of a mounted messenger, It
was necessary to insert a uew canula,
reaching dowu into tho treacbea,'
without delay. The operation led to
bleeding aud much subsequent suffer
ing.
While the doctors quarreled tho
invalid underwent the most pitiable
sullering. The bed clothes were
torn so lhat they had to be entirely
replaced. This information is now
substantiated and is expected to be
of great importance iu the physicians'
light, which is to come later on when
the services of the doctors are no
longer required. Dr. Mackenzie had
a man here named Schcicter, who
was known as his literary adjutant,
and who furnished' bedside news to
the English newspapers. Ho left at
a moment's notice four days ugo and
the German journalists now say he
was ordered out of Berlin. Though
1 haye failed to verify this extraordi
nary iliut!tratiou of the leugths to
which official spite against the En
glish physician can go, the preseut
eHurts of the doctors to collect mater
ial lor a post mortem warfare is an
other evidence of the extreme jeal
ousy, envy and narrow nature of cer
tain men of this profession, even iu
the hour of impending national culam
ity, when petty quarrels should be
smoothed out. <l'hero is no doubt
that among the physicians the ques
tion of which doctor will wiu is of
vastly more consequence than the
struggle of the Emperor with his un
happy fate.
Mr. Sylvester Cooper, of Slip
peryrock Tp., was in town recently
disposing of some of his good maple
syrup, which he annually makes at
his t>ugar camp, now about the only
camp in the County.

Get Thin Clothing
To Fit.
We're only on the edge of
r summer. What will the mid
[ die be without Thin Clothing ?
We anticipate a strong trade
in such goods. Our stock is
f equipped for it. In the whole
• round ol Thin Goods there
isn't one worthy quality that
we haven't. Serges, Seer
; suckers, Alpacas, and to Of
t lice Coats as low in price as
r are worth having.
Isu t this as good-a time as
• any to get reliable goods when
! they're to be got? J. N, PAT
TERSON never relaxes his
purpose to have the best. We
' haven't any that we can't en
dorse as the best of their
class.
Suppose Thin Clothing
does cost less. That its cost
r is but a trifle. Mayn't you
, as well have the best: and
comfort for weeks and weeks?
Get Thin Clothing that fits.
Plenty of it is just thrown to
, gether. Too mean to sell.
Slim money's worth: slimmer
comfort. We'll gi-ve you Thin
(roods to fit.
We're getting a big sum
mer trade now. It'll increase
as the goodness of our Thin
Clothing gets found out.
So don't forget J. N. PAT
