THE proboscis of a mosquito is quite a
complicated arrangement. It is a com
bination of lances, saw« and pumping
tabes. When an industrious mosquito
locates on the epidermis of a man and
starts up in business for himself, he uses
his lance and saw alternately until he
strikes a vein, then inserts his pump and
becomes a small producer. It is while
boring for blood that tho stinging sensation
is produced. After tho pump is started
the pain ceases.
Last Week's Elections.
On Saturday last, Allegheny, Hunting
don, Perry, Dauphin and Lebanon coun
ties held tbeir primaries. Allegheny Co.
elected sixteen delegates to the State Con
vention, all of whom will vote for Mon
tooth. Jno. Dalzell was renominated for
Congress in the Pittsburg district and
Thomas M. Bayne in tho Allegheny dis
trict; Neeb was nominated over Rutan in
the 42d Senatorial district, aud Wm.
Flinn had no opposition in the 44th. Rob
ison, Rynd, Graham, Marshall, Lemon,
Richards, Lafferty, Weaver, Calbertson,
Cotton, Jones, Ncsbitt, McCollough, ,

in the different districts for Assemblymen;
Greer for Co. Controller, McCleary for
Bberiff, Bell for Treasurer, McGunnegle
for Clerk of Courts, Yon Bonnhorst for Re
corder, Cownes for Register, Mercer and
Weir for Commr's, and Haymaker for a»s't
Dist Att'y.
In Huntingdon Co., the contest for state
delegates was between Hastings and Stone
and the Hastings men won.
In ferry, another mountain-valley coun
ty, tho Hastings men had everything their
own way.
In Dauphin Co., which contains the
State capital, Harrisburg, the contest was
between Hastings and Delamater, and of
the four delegates elected two are for each.
Lebanon Co., which adjoins Dauphin to
the east and north, elected two Hastings
delegates, and named Passmore for Lieut.
Gov.
Tha Republican primary of Beaver Co.,
last Thursday resulted in the election of
Mr. Townsend's fifteen delegates. Col.
Jackson received 737 votes in the county,
Dick Quay and R. L. Sterling were nomi
nated for Assembly. J. Imbrie Martin for
Bheriff, and Samuel Hamilton for Treasur
er; 0. H. Matthews for Reg. A Reo.; A. J.
Lawrence for Clerk of Court*; Brinton
Smith and Jno. H. Wilson for Co. Com
mlss'rs; Isaac Minor for Poor House Com

of coarse.
At the 27th district convention at Kane
last Wednesday, Congressman Watson was
renominated, he receiving the votes of
Warren, McKcan and Cameron counties,
and Lee those of Venango.
Allegheny county had two political sen
sations, on Tuesday. After the conven
tion for the 23d Congressional district had
re nominated Col. Bayne by acclamation,
he thanked the convention for the honor,
which he considered a vindication and
them peremtorially refused the nomina
tion and had Col. Wm. A. Stone nominat
ed in his -place. The friends of Shiras
were too much taken by surprise to offer
objections, but there is a big ''Kick"
brewing in the district. The other sensa
tion was the split in the convention of the
42d Senatorial district Rutan's friends
claimed unfairness in the rulings of the
chairman, "bolted" to another room and
no minated Rutan, while the ether crowd
nominated Keeb.
Tuesday evening Philadelphia County
held its primaries and they resulted in the
election of 34 Hastings delegates and 5
Delamater.

■apposed to have 68 votes on first ballot,
Hastings G6, Stone 14, Montooth 20,
Oe.bome 6, Davies 3, and McCormiek 3,
with 24 yet to be elected.

Memorial Day.
Thirty years ago this Nation was on the
verge of civil war; the Southern States
were seceding one after another, a Con
federate Government had been organized,
tho National flag flying over Fort Sumpter
in Charleston harbor had been fired upon,
the President had called for men, and in
every Northern city, town and village
companies were being enlisted and sent to
their respective rendezvous, where they
were organized into armies for the sup
pression of the rebellion and the main
tenance ot the Union, while in the South
ern States the same thing was being done
for the opposite purpose.
Everybody was excited and nothing but
war was talked of, yet nobody surmised
that the struggle was to be as long, as
bloody and as expensive as it proved to be.
For four long years the war raged with
varying fortunes, but towards the end of
18G4 the resources of the Southern States
were exhausted and next Spring their only
remaining army under General Lee sur
rendered to General Grnnt at Appomattox.
Thousands of men died on the fields of
battle, and thousands more in hospitals
and prisons. Husbands, sons, lathers and
brothers who went to the army never re
turned and no one knows their last resting
places.
It was to keep these dead in memory
that Memorial Day was established and
for the same purpose it is maintained.
Each succeeding Memorial Day wit
nesses the decoration of the graves of those
who lived through the war and died at
home, or whose bodies were brought home
from the battle-fields or hospitals, and a
military procession in their honor.
The procession this year in Butler was
led by Major Reed snd his staff, followed
by the Grand Army Band, Soldiers' Or
phans' Home Band, A. G. Reed Post, G.
-jrrlt. 010 vote run J, TUG military company,
and the junior order of American Work
men.
They formed in front of the Court House
and marched to the Orphans' Home, and
were there seated on and around the front
porch, in the shade of the trees.J jThe
band played some fine selections, the
pupils of the Home sang "America" and
"Rally round the flag," and then the com
pany listened to what was pronounced the
best Memorial Day address ever delivered
in Butler.
Col. Jackson, of New Castle, was the
speaker, and having been a soldier himself
he knew whereof he spake, and he spoke
feelingly and intelligently.
lie began by recalling the dead, who, he
said, gave everything for their country,
while the others were spared to come back
and enjoy life, even those who lost near
relatives in the war were hurt worse than
those who were spared to return; the
Northern soldiers were devoted to the flag
and did not need particular leaders to
enable them to tight well; one wounded
soldier begged a shred of tho regimental
battle flag from him before being sent
home; wo remember those who fell in
battle as young men while those who re
turned and yet live have grown gray; the
North was eternally right and the South
was eternally wrong; the children should
be taught the import of the war for the
Union, and speaking of the pension laws
he said that no man who fought for his
country should be allowed to die a pauper.
He spoke for about forty minutes and was
heartily applauded by the veterans present
at several points.
Rer. Prugh followed in some remarks
regarding the Orphan Schools, and thinks
the State should yet make provision for the
children of disabled veterans.
That afternoon the Junior Order of
American Mechanics presented the Home
with a handsome flag. They marched up
to the Home led by the Germania Band,
J. M. Maxwell presided, the presentation
speech was made by Miss Maiy Ayros and
the response by Mrs. Smith, one of the
teachers; the children sang "Unfurling of
the flag," during which the new flag was
hoisted over the school building, and al
together it was a very pleasant affair.
S. P. Bowser, Esq., spoke at Petrolia on
Memorial day, Capt. Fleeger at Prospect
Lev McQuistion, Esq.. at Centreville, and
and Newton Black, Esq., at Grove City.
The Capt. Wm. Stewart Post, G. A. R.
inarched from Evans City to Brownsdale,
that day, were addressed by M. B. Dou
thett and Capt. R. I. Boggs and given a
dinner by the ladies of the town. Then
they marched back to Evans City where
they were addressed by D. B. Douthett,
Esq. (A request to publish a detailed ac
count of the proceedings there came to us
after onr columns were full.
A Card of Thanks From the Old
Soldiers.
A. G. Reed Post and the Union Veteran
Legion join in tendering our sincere thanks
to the business people of Butler, who so
generally observed our request, in which
the Burgess had joined, by closing for the
specified time their respective places of
business on Memorial Day.
To Rev. J. S. McKee, who on the pre
ceding Sunday evening preached an edify
ing and scholarly memorial sermon; to the
Soldiers' Orphans, who so efficiently dis
charged their duty, while acting in the
capacity of an escort; to the managers,
teachers and children of tho Orphans'
Home, who gave us so cordial a reception
to their beautiful and commodious ground;
to the National Guards, the Jr. O. U. A.
M. and the J. S. Campbell Hose Co.,
whose presence added so much to the suc
cess of the occasion, and to Col. O. L.
Jackson, the eloquent orator of the day,
for the appropriate and instructive memo
rial address which was highly appreciated,
we tender our sincere thanks.
We duly appreciate the excellent music
rendered in such pleasing manner by the
G. A. R. Band during the exercises at the
Home, and as well, the efforts of the
leader. Prof E. 0. Davis, and the deep
interest he manifested in making the
musical part of the exercises a success.
We also appreciate the fact, that during
the day there was the best of order on the
streets, which we largely attribute to the
judicious care exercised bv tho preprietors
of the various hotels in closing their bars,
and to Mr. Reiber IU refusing to sell by
the bottle.
To the proprietors of all the newspapers
in the borough for the kindly assistance
rendered in publishing gratuitously our
programs and orders, to Mr. Alfred Wick,
who furnished without charge a rig for our
use during the day.
To all who in any way assisted in. carry
ing into effect the grand object of 'Memo
rial Day, we tender our sincere thanks;
and will at the nest regular meeting of A.
G. Reed Post 105, move that the same be
spread upon its minutes. COM.

Ei>. CITIZEN:—Seeing nothing from Con
cord for a long time I thought it would
not be amiss for me to scribble a little for
your columns. Although we are left ont
in the cold politically, we are so high and
dry that there is no danger of us becoming
dampened in regard to the party in the
fall. We are ail Republicans and will be
found at our post in November. Now in
regard to our candidates they fell grateful
to the voters of the county foi the manner
in which they were cared for and will sup
port the. ticket in the fall from top to bot
j torn, and seeing the honorable vote that
our candidate for Clerk of Courts got in
the county, we may expect him to be a
candidate again in three years from now,
lor he has expressed himself to that effect
and we will trust that he will be more
successful next time.

THE price of steel rails in Knglaud is
£{4.50 per ton. In this country it is $32 to
s3:i per ton. Now the duty on steel rails
is sl7 per ton. Ex-President Cleveland,
the apostle of tariff teform. never fails to
insert somewhere in his "interviews" that
the duty on a foreign article is added to
the price of the same article made in
this country. In other wordss .'14.50
plus #l7 equals $32. This may be
good Democratic doctrine, but it is ex

The Scotch-Irish.
The second annual congress of the
Scotch-Irish Society of the United States
met in Mechanical Hall. Pittsburg, last
Thursdar. Robert Bonner, of New York,
presided, and the guests were welcomed
bv Mayor Gourley and Gov. Beaver, and
Dr. John S. Mcintosh, of Philadelphia,
made the principal address.
On Friday the convention was entertain
ed by Hon. John Dalzell, of Pittsburg, in
an address that won the praises of all for
its eloquence and research: and on Satur
day President Harrison, on his way home
from Cleveland, stopped at Pittsburg, and
visited the Hall, aud that evening Dr.
John Hall, of New York, closed the ex
ercises by addressing an audience of five
thousand, aud thousands of others could
not get into the building.
W. L. Graham, Esq.. James Kearns, Sr.,
Andrew Blakeley, C. M. Gilkey, and Jos.
Vauderlin. Esq.. attended the sessions of
the convention.
Mr. Graham has one oi the badges of the
Society. On one side it has the red hand
of Ulster, in a shield, the motto "Liberty
and Law," Scotch-Irish Society, organized
1889, and a wreath of shamrock and thistle.
The reverse contains a castle, with shield
and three eagles below it.
The Scotch-Irish began coming to
America as early as 1720. Some twenty
five thousand of them came over about
1770, many of whom came to Western
Pennsylvania. They were among the first
settlers of this country and helped to clear
it of the Indians.
THE Supreme Court of Maine has re
versed one of the lower courts of the state
in the famous Burns case. Burns several
years ago opened in Augusta an "original
package" business, selling only liquors,
however, that were imported from the
-jrrrrrrnrcT rrr oThef countries, claiming That
under tho United States Constitution, the
State had no right to interfere with his
business. The case carried np step by
step until it is now decided in Burn's fa
vor. The Court says in part: "The lowa
case just decided by the Supreme Court of
the United States clearly settles the ques
tion. We are bound by that decision to
reverse the ruling below and to sus
tain the law as contended for by the re
spondent. The minority opinion in the
lowa case is elaborate and commends itself
to many as containing the better conclu
sion. Our obediance is due to the judgment
which prevails. Our statutes prohibit only
unlawfulness. Its interpretation must be
Constitutional."
Original Packages.
At Pittsburg last Saturday Judge Ache
son of the U. S. District Court refused to
interfere in tho ease of Silverman, the "or
iginal package" man in jail at Kittanning
for selling beer at Leechburg as agent for
a Cincinatti brewery.
The Judge in refusing to discharge the
Leechburg liquor dealer does not dispute
the application of the Supreme Court dec
ision, but decides that he will not inter
fere with the right of the State Court to
hear the case and recognize the binding
force of the U. S. decision. If that recog
nition should not be made as it was in
Maine, of course, the United States Courts
will be obliged to hear the case.
But this disposition warns the dealers in
the original package plan that they must
stand trial in the State courts under what
will probably be a strict construction of
the ruling by the United States Supreme
Court, and as it is claimed that the beer
Silverman sold was reshipped at Pittsburg,
and Silverman is not a resident of the
State there may be trouble ahead for him.
In Topeka, Kansas, same day six origi
nal package dealer dealers were released
011 writs of habeas corpus.
THE General Assembly of the Presby
terian Church has decided to submit a re
vision of tho Confession of faith to the
Assembly of next year and has provided
for a committee to formulate the changes
to be proposed. The committee is instruc
ted, however, to propose nothing that will
impair the integrity of the "Calvinistic
system of doctrine." This seems still to
leave considerable room for disputation.
Presbyterians evidently are by no means
unanimous as to just what is and what is
not an essential part of the Calvinistic
system. It' there were agreement on that
point the question of revision probably
would not have been so difficult. But
the committee will have a year to talk it
over and anything on which fifteen min
isters and ten laymen can agree should be
sufficiently conservative to satisfy every
body.
A Golden Wedding.
William Turner, et us., ntc Mis* Mary
Gibson, celebrated their golden wedding
at their home in Allegheny township, on
the 22(1 inst. At an early hour on that
day friends and relations in number about
300 assembled at his domicile, bringing
with them many and valuable presents for
the rejuvenated" bride and groom, as well
as an abundance of edibles. An enjoya
ble time was had in social intercourse un
til noon, when a table was improvised in
Mr. Turner's door yard, and all the sub
stantial, as well as many of the delicate
viands of the season, were placed thereon.
Rev. H. H. Moore of St. Petersburg, Clar
ion County, invoked the divine blessing,
after which all. with evident relish, satiat
ed their hunger. While at the table, the
guests were counted. It is quite likely
that a correct enumeration would show
less than 300, as Sheriff 0. C. Redic anil
J. L. Colgin wore seen at the table several
times.
Dinner dispatched, post-prandial exor
cises ensued. The multitude was called to
order by Kev. Moore, who officiated as
master of ceremonies. Prot. Will M. Gib
son of Bruin ltd a corterie of young folks
iu singing some beautiful pieces of music,
after which Rev. J. R. Coulter in a brief
and pathetic prayer returned thanks to
Almighty God for the many blessings
vouchsafed to the aged people who were
the object of our visit, and asked for a con
tinuance of divine guidance and direction.
Rev. Moore then resumed the rostrum and
delivered an eloquent and stirring address.
In which he highly complimented and
warmly coingratulated Mr. and Mrs. Tur
ner.
Appropriate addresses were also deliver
ed by Rev. Coulter and others. Rev.
Moore presented the aged couple with
many presents which had been brought as
testimonials of sincere esteem and regard.
I regret that I have not a list of them at
hand. Inttr alia, they received sll6 in
gold. Those presenting gifts of money or
valuables arc the following named persons:
Thomas Grant. 0. C. Redic, Dr. A. W.
Crawford, M. E. church of Foxburg, W.
T. Crawfoid, G. P. Sloan, Mr. and Mrs.
John M. Turner, Samuel Crawford, Mr.
and Mrs.'J. Harvey Turner. Mr. and Mrs.
Nidle, Miss Laura Crawford, M. E. Turner,
E. P. Thomas, It. J. Grant, Mr. and Mrs.
James L. Colgin, E. H. Crawford, Mrs.
Mattie Rapp, Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Kiskad
don, Dr. A. L. Gibson. Mr. and Mrs. C. C.
Cooper, O. E. Black, W. F. Thomas, J. R.
Grant. Miss Sadie Grant, E. C. Gibsou,
Mrs. S. G. Gibson, Mrs. Eleanor Gibson,
Miss Mattie Crawford, Mr. and Mrs. Wil
liam Anchors, Mrs. Jane Sloan, Mrs. Jas.
Fowler, Mr. and Mrs. John Anchors, Miss
Mattie Gibsou and Robert M. Taylor.
Mr. Turner now resides on the farm on
which he was born 74 years ago. This oc
casion was not only the semi-centennial of
their marriage, but it was the 60th birth
day of Mrs. Turner. We cannot reasona
bly hope for "many returns of the hnppy
occasion" to them, but we must trust that
they may be left with us for many years.
Mr. Turner is a good citizen and a superb
man. Mrs. Turner is a most estimable
lady, a devoted wife, and fond mother.
They arc the progenitors of six children,
five of whom are living and were present.
Thirteen of their grand-children were also
in attendance, to cheer and comfort them
in these, their declining years. They have
thus far drifted calmly and peacefully a
down the stream of time, and will event
ually cast their anchor in that broad, sub
lime, smooth sea, eternity.

NEIGHBORHOOD NOTES.
A runaway raft containing ICO.OOO feet -
of lumber was caught at Pittsburg, one j
day last week.
Nelson Hatch, residing near Douglass
vilie, Berks county, went fishing Tuesday
evening of last week aud his wife visited a
neighbor, leaving their three-year old.
alone in the house. During their absence
the house was burned and the child perish
ed in the flames. The fire is supposed to
have been caused by the explosion of a
lamp.
'•At Mechauicsburg, Pa., a woman
named Mosher spent the afternoon with
two female friends, and upon reaching her
home her voice was gone. For three
months she could not speak a loud word.
Her voice then suddenly returned. All
j the doctors could say about it was that she
had talked her tongue into being tired and
needing a rest. And the malady was liable
to return at any time when too much talk
ing was indulged."
Jerry Muiphy plead guilty i>. the United
States District Court at Pittsburg to run
ning a distillery in Forest county without
paying the Government tax. He said all
he distilled was sassafras and watergreen
and he don't know that was wrong. He
had never been in any trouble. He was
lined SIOO and ordered to be confined in
the jail of Forest county one mouth.
At Tarentum last week several persons
were hurt an.l oue lad)' had her leg broken
by the falling of the seats of a circus.
There is on the Robert McLaughry tarm,
south of Ediuboro, an apple ttee that
deserves mention as a wonderful natural
curiosity. It was planted by John
Campbell in ISIO, and is therefore 80
years old. But it is the great size of the
trwe. auU not its age, tliat makes it won
derful. The trunk, which is very smooth
aud straight and free from knots, measure
eight feet and seven inches in circumference
one foot above the ground. When it is
noticed that this is the size of the clean
trunk, free from knots, the great size of the
tree will be appreciated.
The aged parents of the Nicely boys
went to Indiana, Pa., one day last week
and spent their time with the unfortun
ate men. The mother is a very nice old
lady and when she entered the cell where
her sons were confined she broke down
completely and hung upon their necks as
though she would never consent to part
with them again. Both parents and child
ren cried pitifully. The parents believe
most implicitly in the innocence of the
boys and cannot think that they will be
executed. Since the visit of the parents
the boys are very quiet and spend much of
their time reading the Bible.
A party of New York men lately paid a
round million for IS.OOO acres of land on
the Punxsutawney basin.
Three cases of suicide happened in
Allegheny Co. last Saturday. John
Geiger hung himself through religious ex
citement;~Lizzie Miller of Pittsburg took
Paris Greeu because her lover jilted her,
and Mrs. Nurse of Allegheny took the
same because her husband flirted with a
young lady living at Berver Falls.
At this term of Court in Allegheny Co.
six murder cases and one man slaughter
case will be heard.
A singular accident aud marvelous
escape during the heavy storm Friday last,
is reported from Lawrence county, near
the Beaver county line. It seems that
while the storm was raging. Farmer
Browen undertook to bring in from the
field a young horse. He had the animal
by the halter leading him, but the noise
made by the storm frightened the animal
and it refused to follow. It pulled back
aud the farmer pulled the other way.
While in t'jis position, with the halter
strap pulled taut, a vivi.l stroke of light
niug camp, and cut the halter iu two as
neatly as if done with a sharp knife. Both
man and beast were thrown to the ground,
but both recovered iu an instaut, and
scrambled unhurt to their feot. The
aniuial took to its heels for the field, while
the farmer made tracks for the barn.
Several who witnessed the affair were
certain at first that both were killed*
While herding cattle, between Bradford
and Kendall Creek, last Saturday after
noon, Austin Peterson and TVilliam and
Joseph Trantor, ranging in ago from
twelve to fourteen years, found two
torpedo squibs. Joseph Trantor and
Peterson each picked up a squib, and, after
examining them, threw them on the
ground. The explosion that followed tore
the flesh from Peterson's hand and blew
out one of his eyes. The other two boys
were bruised and cut all over the body.
"William Trantor died at 5 o'clock on Sun
day morning. The two other boys are
thought to be fatally injured. Each has
lost an eye, and if they recover, both will
be disfigured for life.
TIIE Pittsburgh Dispatch observes that
the Supreme Court's decision, that a will
deeding property to a married woman iu

band, gives her only a life interest in it, is
one of the finest achievement of hair

IK people generally could see themselves
as others see them, and smell their own

XKW YORK CITY has a debt aggregating
$144,300,000. The interest on this sum,
paid with an annual growl, is $7,000,000.

"STILL HKRi"
Why certainly we are here. Don't you
remember we told you a year ago we were
going to stay and dou't you remember we
told you how we had been working for ten
years to reach the top of the business, and
told you we were nearly there. We told
you we were not certain then whether we
were the largest dealers in our liue iu this
great state of Pennsylvania. But now we
arc the largest. Ju*t think of it right here
in Butler—the largest wholesale and retail
carriage dealers iu the whole state—well it
i* true we have the largest wholesale and
we have the largest retail trade. We carry
the largest stock and sell cheaper than any
house in the state, the amount of business
we do enables us to do so. AV<> do uot sit
around doing nothiug till customers come
in then size him up aud sr.. for all he has
we do a straight forward business and hav
ing all kiuds of grades of work we tell you
the quality yon arc getting every time.
Why just think we sell the very same top
buggy for $4.") that others sell for .•?<*>, an.l
we keep also the very best hand-made
buggies—we keep the best work kept by
any dealer. We have harness for sti and
up. also the very best hand-made harness
—in fact we are the only place you can
get a really good line harness You should
look at our stock of surreys—the best you
ever seen at one place in your life. We
had them all made for this year's trade
aud the} - are the latest styles, and
the finest work too —and spring wagons,
we have more spring wagons than you
could shake a stick at. .lust think of it.
&O for a spring wagon, also the very best
kind made; and then the best part of it is
you always know just what quality of work
you are getting when you buy from us.
Our rule has always been nerer misrepre
sent and Merer try to yet rich off one HUH
tomor. Kemeuiber we keep everything in
our line and pay strict attention. You.
will always find us here. "We cannot
• numerate, but just think of it, the best
collar pads for 50c, horse collars f>oe and
up, carts tor >lO up. We have 112 different
kinds, lap robes for *1 that others sell at
$1.50, fly nets cheaper than you could
make them yourself, good kip collars tick
ing face, tufted with hair with pat fastener
on top for #2,—just the
collar (only a little better) you
have been paying $2.50 to $3.00 for. Good
hand made team harness —best oak tanned
leather, all complete for $32. You paid
S3B to S4O for the same, only yours hadn't
as good leather. Now do you think this
talk is all true or is it only an advertise
ment. It's quite a picture isn't itf Well,
now neighbor, look here; If you just come
down aud spend one hour looking through
our large stock and don't say its true as
far as it goes only not half told we will
pay you for your time—is not this fair?
Come down, it is only a little distance
from Main St. down to 3"> W. Cunningham
St. —where we pay no rent. We want to
see aud get acquainted with you if you
never were here before, and if you have
been here come and see us for we are glad
to meet old friends.
