Thb County Committee will meet next
▼eek for the purpose of fixing a date for
our primary election. The usual time for
holding the primary is the latter part of j
May or the first part of June. Three years i
ago our primary was held on Saturday,
June 4th. A few of the candidate-, who
are also school directors, are said to desire
that our primary of this year be held be -j
fore the County Superintendent election, |
that is before the first Tuesday in May. j
but this, considering the condition of the j
roads, would hardly be treating the new j
candidates fairly, as it would be impossible J
a month or six weeks

selection of the County Superintendent
would have time to heal.
To all appearances Newton Black, Esq.,

nomination for Congress in this coufity.
Ifr. Townsend will probably be the nomi

on and Mr. Koonce of Sharpsville, will
contest for the nomination in Mercer Co.
Chicago got there with both feet—with
both of her great big feet —and the New
York "World's Fair Committee is about as
mad a set of men as there is on earth.
New York was handicapped by Gov. Hill
and Tammany Hall who wanted to use the
Fair for political purposes; neither St.
Louis or Washington had any chance
from the beginning, and Chicago went in
to win, and has won. Chicago is the repre
sentative city of the "wild"'—and some
people add "wooly" —est; she will
fling both heart and purse into the fair and
make it a magnificent success.
A bill has been offered in the Kentucky
Legislature making a circus liable for not
presenting features which it advertises.
This is a sly thrust at Congress.
Exolasd pays $4,269,874 as subsidies or
bounties for mail transportation. The Un
ited States, althongh nearly twice the pop
ulation of England, pays about one hund

England's shipping interests are prosper
ous, naturally, while those of the United
States are in a condition of innocuous des
uetude.
A MAX named Corvett, near Crawfords
villo, Arkansas, murdered a young woman
in a shocking manner. The neighbors
learning who had committed the deed,
took Corvetl to the sceno of the murder,
and with an axe cut off his arms and legs
and severed his head from his body. They
then built a fire and burned the ltody with
its members. Tho powcrlessness of law
in that section seems to be the cause for
such horrible and swift execution,
of the Census to ascertain the number of
people who own their farzns and their
homes and tho amount of mortgaged in
debtedness thereon, has now passed both
Houses of Congress, and the next census
will give the facts about this vexed ques
tion as nearly as they can be ascertained.
By the way, a fine of SIOO can be imposed
upon any person refusing to answer the
questions a census enumerator is authorized
to ask. It may bo worth while to remem
ber this.
J OILS Jacob Astor worked as hard as
the driver of a leased hack with a large
family on bis bands. He staid in New
York winter and summer. His fortune,
estimated at one hundred millions, kept
him chained down to business. For
twenty-four days in a month he trudged
about Wall street like au errand boy. He
had other folks to collect bis income, but
his business of investing it satisfactorily
kept him humming.
Tub authorities of Akron, Ohio, arc ex
periencing considerable difficulty in en
forcing the new law compelling attend
ance at school. A queer condition of
affairs has been brought to light by the
issuance of a warrant for the arrest of
Joieph K. Sanders upon a charge of violat
ing the above law. Sanders belongs to
a peculiar religious sect similar to, but
not identical with, the Second Adventists,
and believing that the world is coining to
an end very shortly. Ho therefore holds
that it is useless to wu.itu time upon
worldly matters and although he has five
children of school age tbey are not attend
ing school, in consequence of this religious
belief. There is considerable discussion
among members of the bar as to whether
the above facts constitute a ground for ac *
tion as the State school laws are supposed
not to interfere with religious affairs.
Okob in a while some occurrence is re
ported from Boston which makes uh won
der whether that staid old hub lias not
been tranferred from Massachusetts Bay
to the shores of hake Michigan, where
Chicago is usually supposed to be located.
Certainly some Boston events smack
strongly of Windy City flavor. The other
day an excursion party of Bostone.se were
landed in Washington with the smell of
gait codfish, baked beans and stewed
pumpkin exhaling from their wearing ap
parel. They went to the White House in
a body, and then an explosion occurred.
The President was in I'ittsburg. The ex
cursionists were furiously irate. They de
clared that the railroad agent who arrang
ed the excursion had guaranteed them an
opportunity to shake hands with the I're.s
ideut. They got the "cold shake" instead
of a handshake. This little extra excur
sion inducement of throwing in a hand
shake with the President with each reduc
ed rate ticket is i[nite up to the Chicago
mark, hut a little startling for Boston.

Chicago Wins.
On the eighth ballot in the House at
"Washington, last Monday, for the site of
the World's Fair, Chicago received 137
votes, just three more than a majority.
New York made a very vigorous fight to
the last. The majority of the Democrat
ultimately supported the Eastern metropo
polis. Senator Quay took a hand in the :
matter, telegraphing Southern Republican j
members to vote for Chicago. The oppo- J
sition made an effort to secure time to j
combine npon Washington but met with j
failure.
"WASnixGTOJf, Feb. 23.—Chicago cap- ;
tured the "World's Fair plum to-day after
quite a little brush with the advocates o:
>"ew York, St. Louis and Washington. The
scenes on the floor of the House were at
times exciting, and Speaker Reed fairly
wore nut his gavel in his efforts to keep
order. The racket equaled that of a politi
cal convention. The galleries were pack
ed to the doors, while the corridors sur
rounding the Mouse were overflowing with
earnest workers for the contesting cities,
who lost no opportunity to buttonhole
members and urge them to vote their way
It looked like Chicago from the first, the
initial ballot standing: Chicago 117, New
York 72, St. Louis 62, "Washington 56.
Each succeeding ballot showed slight gains
for the Windy City, and the joy of its rep
resentatives knew no bounds.
At the end of the sixth ballot Mr. Wil
son of 1 West Virginia, moved to take a re
cess until to-morrow at 11 o'clock, but the
friends of Chicago seeing that a reces
f would only injure their cause, voted solid i
iy against it, aud the motion 10-t. .
HnfSniflfe ballots settled the troublesome
I question, the vote standing Chicago, 157, j
j New York, 107; St. Louis, 25; Washington,
18.
After the first ballot the advocates of
Washington had but little hopes other
than it being selected as a compromise iu
case New York. Chicago and St. Louis
should become so close that a deadlock
should occur. Its complete knock out was
a sad blow to property owners and board
ing-house keepers, both present and pros
pective. Many a sigh was heard in the
galleries as the vote for "Washington slowly
but surely melted away to a mere nothing.
Sentiment hadn't anything to do with it.
Politics did the business. Colonel Bayne
was the only Western Pennsylvania mem
ber who had the nerve to vote against Chi
cago, the choice oi the business men of his
section. He cast his first vote for Wash
ington, but shifted to New York, and stuck
to her until the eighth and last ballot,
when he came in out of the rain and ac
cepted the inevitable. Dalzell.Ray, Craig,
Culbertson, Townsend and Watson ali
voted for Chicago from first to last. It is
a matter of much comment as to what the
Senate will do with the bill. It is believed
that an effort will be made to either kill
the bill outright or return it to the House,
asking for a compromise on Washington.
Iu fact, nearly every Senator owns prop
erty in this city, and very naturally wants
the big show where it will do them the
inor* good financially, to say nothing for
the welfare of the Fair. A report is -cur
rent that a syndicate composed of wealthy
members of tho Upper House has a 30
days' option on $6,000,000 worth of Wash
ington property, and the result of their de
liberation is awaited with much interest.
Tiik new Congressional gerrymander in
Ohio makes fifteen Democratic and six
Republican districts, slightly less than the
Democratic Legislature intended, but twist
and turn the counties all they could, they
couldn't get any more districts. The dis
trict represented by Mr. McKinley has
been made strongly Democratic, for they
fear him, but big majorities have been
overcome before, and Mr. McKinley can
be elected. The people of Ohio, irrespec
that character and cannot be depended
upon to help a rascally gerrymander like
that.
Senator John J. I.n<;alls, of Kansas,
will deliver the Memorial Day oration at
Gettysburg, having accepted tho invitation
tendered him by the Committee of Ar
rangements. This is a wise selection, and
gives promise that the thousands who
visit the hallowed spot will hear something
more than the usual platitudes that are
delivered at Gettysburg. Senator IngalJs
is an orator, a man of brains and a states
man, and when he makes an oration at
Gettysburg it will be worth going a long
distance to hear.
The story comes from Ohio that a
Democrat will bolt the caucus gerrymander
by which it is proposed to send only
Democrats to Congress from that State.
If the threatened bolt was because the
gerrymander was an outrageous trifling
with the Constitution and the law, there
might be a probability of thb bolter stick
ing, but, as he asserts, it is because he ha
not been properly cared for, tho proba
bilities are that he will flunk before the
time for action arrives.
Swept to Death.
Phkscott. Arizona, Feb. 23. —By the
breaking of an immense storage dam built
across the Ilassayampa River fort}' people
were drowned in this city yesterday morn
ing.
The dam, which was considered a
triumph of modern engineering skill, was
bnilt by the Walnut Grove Water Storage
Company two years ago at a cost of $300,-
000.
It gave way under the great pressure of
the heavy floods in the "up" country, and
everything was swept before the
tremendous rush of waters.
Forty persons arc known to have lost,
their lives at this point, while it is feared
that the town of Wickenburg, thirty mile*
below the dam, is entirely swept away.
.No tidings have been as yet been receiv
ed from there, as nil telegraphic coin
munication has been destroyed.
Lieutenant Brodie, in charge of the
work, was absent at I'lucnix superintend
ing the shipment of machinery to the
works, and was saved.
The service dam of the com puny, located
fifteen miles below the reservoirs, anil fif
teen miles of flume, just approaching com
pletion, were carried away.
The company has spent over SBOO,OOO on
the enterprise of storing the water. The
hydraulic mining machine had arrived, and
they expected to commence next week.
The dam which held the waters back was
110 feet long at the base and 400 feet at the
top. It was 110 feet thick at the base and
10 feet at the top, forming a lake three
miles in length by three-fourths of a mile
wide and 110 feet deep.
THE Russian government, it is said, will
begin next spring to build its 4,">00 mile
railroad across Siberia. It is a big under
taking, and the estimated cost in $220,000,
i i ... .1.1. 1.. ..I'. I! 1 ' ' 1 / '' .L JlJ
project, however enormous it may lie, pro
vided it gives promise of a reasonable pro
fit, is no longer considered an obstacle.
Scmmbr tourists leave $3,000,000 yearly
with the people of Hew Hampshire. There
is very little wonder that agriculture is
giving way to keeping of boarders—aa the
latter can be shorn every day, while sheep
need more time to recuperate and there
are limitations upon the farmer at every
hand.
A iiam across the II assy amp a river, Ari
zona, holding an artificial lake three miles
long, gave away last Saturday. Forty
persons are known to have perished. Tin
loss to the owners of the dam alone is about
$1,000,000.
Golden Wedding.
The children, grandchildren.great-grand- j
children, friends and neighbors of Mr. and
Mrs. Matthias Kasely, of Connoquenessing
Twp., assembled at the home. Feb. 22d, to j
commemorate the fiftieth anniversary of i
their marriage. Matthias Rasely was born '
in Northumberland Co.. Pa., Jan. 12. j
Priscilla Fairchilds, in Luzerne Co., Aug. j
31, 1921. They were married Feb. 22. j
1840, by Rev. John Dorrance; resided in !
Luzerne Co. till June. 1347, when they I
came to Butler Co., Pa., and located o:i
the farm adjoining the W. 0. S. church in j
Connoquenessing Twp., where their son j
Georee now resides. In 1573 they remov
ed to the farm where they now reside, and 1
have by diligence and care amassed a com
petent portion of the good things of this
life, so that with God's blessing attending
them they may pass the evening of life
with contentment. Nine children were
given them. Four have gone before them:
Pressly R. and Solomon F. passed away in
June, 1858; John It. in Jan.. 1864; and
AVilliain 11., June 29, 1865. The surviving
five are filling the stations God has assign
ad them.* Anna A., now Mrs. J. W. Stew
art, of Penn Twp.; Margaret 8., now Mrs.
Alfred Sarver, of Butler Twp ; George J.,
now residing on the lionie-farm in Conno
quenessing Twp. and Harvey Rasely at
home; Lanra J., now Mrs. Henry J. Der-
I -heimer. of Beaver i*alls, Pa. These, with
[ their life partners, their children, number- ,
ing seventeen, and their grand children,
numbering four, were all in the kind provi
dence of God permitted to return to their
venerable ancestors,to cefebrate their "gol
den" wedding.
A rich and plenteous repast was thread
before the guests, numbering over sixty:"
and the writer wishes to record that of all
those who sat down to the feast none seem
ed to enjoy it more than did Mr. and Mrs.
Matthias Rasely. Young married couples
usually lose their appetites on the wedding
day, but not so with this venerable couple
—the fifty years journey seemed bat to
whet their appetites for this occasion.
In tho absence of Rev. D. A. Ilarnish,
their pastor, the Rev. J. B. Borland called
the house to order and effected an organiza
tion with Harrison Dvkc in the chair and
Alfred Sarver and Willie J. Rasely secreta
ries. Miss Delia Sarver then read a paper
expressive of "why we are here," a song
was then sung, which had been prepared
for the occasion bj' Mr 3. Lizzie Sarver,Mrs.
Dora Dillan and Misses Sylvia Stewart,
Lillie and Willie J. Rasely rendering it
with much feeling; prayer was then offered
by Rev. Borland. An address suitable to
tho occasion was then made by him, after
which the gifts brought by the loyed ones
were then presented to the venerable couple
with fitting and touching words, the
gifts were as follows: Two easy chairs
(with painted motto with each, "Sit down
and rest.") one to grandfather and one to
grandmother, presented by Mrs. Laura J.
Dcrshimer and husband, Dora Dillon and
husband, and Leonard Ullc, a friend; ex
tension table, by Mrs. A. A. Stewart, hus
band and daughter, Sylvia; hanging
lamp, by Mrs. Margaret E. Sar
ver and husband; gilt-framed motto,
"Faith, life's anchor", by George Rasely
and wife; silver castor; by Harry Rasely;
silver butter dish, by Mrs. Carrie Rasely;
knit shoulder cape, by Miss Willie J. Rase
ly; worked apron, hy Miss Tillie Rasely; 2
china cups md saucers (one for each) by
the Misses Lottie and Pearl and Masters
John and Frank Rasely; china milk and
mush set, by Miss Sarver. Many suitable
gifts were brought by neighbors, among
w houi we mention Harrison Dyke and
wife, Henry Brenneman and wife, and
Robert McGowan. Addresses were also
made by Harrison Dyke, Henry Brenne
man, James Niblock and others. Daniel
Rasely, a brother of Matthias, and his
wifi- were nresent to cheer them on thi*
thu scenes of bygone day* it seemed to
elieer and brighten the occasion. Surely
goodness and mercy have followed them
for all these years, Matthias Rasely and
wife for fifty years, and Daniel Rasely and
his wife for forty-four years. A married
sister, Airs. Hawk of Franklin twp., was
not able to be present on account of sick
ness. The day seemed to be all that heart
could wish. The cheerful light and brac
ing air without harmonized with the joy
and cheer within. The company after
wishing this venerable couple longer days
and yet greater blessing concluded with
devotional exercises led by Kev. Borland.
They sang the Twenty-third psalm, when
the benediction was pronounced and the
company departed to their homes feeling
that the day was fittingly spent.
The writer before closing this account
can not forbear recording a very happy in
cident that took place just before Kev.
Borland pronounced the benediction. Al
fred Sarver arose and in a few fitting
words handed the reverend gentleman a
little paper in which was contained a token
of the regard in which they held him in
the work of the day. it was highly ap
preciated, may wo all enjoy many such
occasions is the wish of the
Observer.
When the grootn elect at a late marriage

The doomed man weighed 220 pounds.
A rope of extraordinary strength was made
for the occasion by Jacob Bupp, of Alle
gheny. It was a half-inch hemp rope,
saturated with beeswax; was 25 feet long,
and cost the county $1 per foot. The
noose was tied by the manufacturer, and
drew so tightly on an experimental sand
bag when being tested as to cause some
trouble in getting it unfastened. It was
tested on a sand bag of 234 pounds weight.
This makes the 91st hangman's rope made
by this man.
Clark's great weight saved him all suffer
ing, for as he fell with the trap his neck
was broken, and only one slight shudder
pas sed over his body. The trap fell at
11:10, and he was pronounced dead 12
minutes after by the doctors, one of whom
it in - pulse, while the other kept his ear
still a good pnlse, at eight minutes it was
flattering with the heart beating slowly, at
ten minutes the pulse ceased to beat, and
exactly at 11:22 the heart ceased to beat,
and the doctors pronounced life extinct.
How They do It in Canada.
Ueorge Sparks, a young man from Kittey
township, became engaged to the youngest
daughter of Charles Smith, of Whitehur

day was set, the clolhes were bought, like
wise the ring, when it suddenly occurred
to the trusting couple that it might be as
well to tell the young lady's old folks.
This the love-sick swain did after the-most
approved fashion, but great was his con
sternation and chagrin when the old man
declared that the ceremony could not take
place, at least in the way it had been ar
ranged.
He said liis eldest daughter must be wed
first, his second next, and so on. and that !
if the young niau was anxious to join his
family circle he could marry his eldest
daughter, but under no consideration
would he allow his third daughter to go
while the other two remained. The young
man, after some thought, signified his will
ingness to the change of brides, tho bride
expectant banded over her trousseau to her
older sister and in three days the wedding
took place.
Astor Family Jealousies.
NEW YORK, Feb. 25. —Everybody is
commenting on the fact that Mrs. illiam
Astor left for Europe several hours after
her brother-in-law's death and was wholly
ignorant of his passing away. No amount
of explanation will ever satisfactorily ex
plain away the fact that his critical con
dition and bis death were not announced to
her, although she lived within a hundred
feet of him, and although the people in the
house of the dead man knew that she was
on the point of sailing for Europe.
The failure to make such an announce
ment confirmed of course the stories that a
good deal of jealoysy and unfriendly feel
interests have amounted to almost what
might bo called a family feiu'. The eleva
tion of William Waldorf Astor to the place
of head of the house in America, places his
wife, so far as the family is concerned,
higher than Mrs. William Astor.
AT the deathbed of William B. Astor,
father of John Jacob, who died last Satur
day, after everything pertaining to the
enormous personal estate supposed to
be arranged, the dying man suddenly said:
"John, what did we do with that six mil
lions of registered U. S. 4'sf"
"We have forgotten them, father," re
plied the son.
"What would we better do with them,
John?'-'
"I think, father, they'd belter Ijp giyei}
to tho girls"—his sisters.
"That's a good idea, John. Hurry a
man to Washington specially, and have
thein transferred before 1 die."
That was done, and tho incident is »
suggestive pointer as to the vastness of tho
property held and to be disposed of.

Sunday. Feb. 23. 1890. Andrew Leibler,
aged ~i years.
Mr. Liebler came from Germany when a
young man and bought and cleared out
the line farm upon which ho died. He
was an honest, industrious and prosperous j

with his widow, nearly all survive him. i

Our Goods are not marked
up to admit of making you a
present with eacli and every
purchase as some little dealers
do to try and catch trade.
There must be something
wrong with a business house
that has to oiler prizes and
gifts to induce customers to
buy from them; it does not
sound as though their business
was satisfactory to them.
The buyers of Boots and
Shoes nowdays are as smart as
some dealers are; they fully
understand, and don't expect
§1.25 worth of shoe leather lor
S1.00; all tliey want is full
value for their money,and buy
as cheaply as their neighbors
I do at one straight price.
They don't want to buy a
shoo at 5i.25 with a little
present thrown in worth ten
cents or less which thev should
have paid $1 for, so you see
how it goes.
We don't give presents, but
do present you with more solid
leather for sl, and better
styles than any shoe house in
