Making Local Nominations.
The local elections, which are to be held
this year on the 21st of next momh, are to
be conducted in the same way as was the
general election of last November, so far
as the manner of voting and the duties of
officers at the polls are concerned. But
the manner of preparing the ballots to be
voted in February is quite different from
that pre*; ri bed by the law for general elec
tions, and is radically different from the
customary way of making local nomina
tions. It ba< been the practice hereiofore
in many districts of this county to make
np tickets in a very informal and hurried
manner, and in some townships at times
there have more than a score of different
tickets at the polls to perplex the voter.
The new law changes all this, and here
after there will be only one style of ballot
in each district, and the voter will be re
quired to mark his choice of candidate on
that official bailot. The official ballot i»
to be made up by the Auditors of the re
gpcctive townships and boroughs, and
those officers are to see to printing and
distributing the ballots substantially as
the County Commissioners did at the gen
eral election. To get the names on the
ballots nominations may be made by any
convention of delegates, or primary meet
ing of electors, or caucus held under the
rules of any of the leading political parties,
or they may be made by nomination papers
signed by the qualified voters of the dis
trict, who sha'l number at least three per
cent, of the largest entire vote ca«t for
any officer elected at the last preceding
election in the district.
If nominations are made at a primary
meeting or party caucus, the certificate *t
nomination is to be signed by the presid
ing officer and secretary of the meeting
or caucus, who must also add their
plaoes of residence and swear or affirm to
the truth of the certificate. Certificates ol
nomination and nominations papers shal
alike specify the party or policy which the
candidate represents; the name of each
candidate nominated therein, bis profes
sion or occupation and his place of resi
dence—street and number, if any—and the
office for which the candidate is nominat
ed. In case nominations are made by »
party caucus,candidate# named in nomina
tion papers cannot be designated by the
same or similar party names
Certificates of nomination for candidates
for township, borough and school
officers are filed with the Auditors of the
respective townships and boroughs at least
ten days before the election—by the 11th
of February this year. Nomination papers
of suoh officers are to be filed with tb.
auditors at leant seven days before the
election —not later than the 14ih of nei'
month. Objections to such certificates 01
nomination papers must be filed withi.
three days after the last day for filing snch
certificates or papers Objections as to
form must be filed with the Auditors, an l !
will be decided by a majority of thos
officer*. Other objections must be filed li
ttle Court of Common Pleas of ibe comity
and are to be promptly heard and decided
by that Court. All certificates of nomina
tion and nomination papers wheu filed ar.-
to be open to the public inspection. As
already stated, the Auditors of the sevei
al townships and boroughs are to cause th
ballots to b? printed and distributed to th
election offioer*. The expense of doing
this work is to be paid by the county.
In the borongbs that are divided into
wards, as Butler is, tickets are to be nomi
nated in each ward and also for the l«»r
ougb at large. In such cases separat
certificates or nomination papers f-r tn
ward officers and for the borough officer
must be filed. In Butler, tor instance, i'
each of the leading parties should hoi.
caucuses, there would b« six certificates t
to file by each party—one for each war
and one for the borough a!, Urge In cas
of township* that are divided into two elec
tion dintricts it is understood a similar rul
will bold —the Domination of district offi
cers aud of officers for the township a
large must be certified separately.
Of course it is not necessary to wait un
til the last day for filing certificates o
nomination or nomination paper", and it 1
not entirely safe to do so. It will be mu>''
better to prepare and file all the papers it
ample time before the last day named i>
the law, and then, in case any error is dis
covered in the papers filed, .here will stil<
be time to oorrect the blunder. It is bard
ly necessary to say tbat there should In
great care iii preparing all such papers, foi
any failure to ooiuply with the provision «'
the law, or c&rele**De«s in stating name
and residences, will invalidate the docn
nient and prevent the printing ol the nam*
of the candidates on the official ballot. W <
advise all'concerned to procure a copy 01
the law and atudy it carefully, for in mat
ters of th.s nature it is well to follow Davy
Crockett's advice and be entirely sure you
are right before you go ahead.
Cured of a Broken Back.
And now a couple of Pittsburg phyi-i.
cians are reported to have cured a man of a
broken back. In October, 1889, wbi)
passing under a descending ore elevator
John Mulligan was struck on the bead b\
an iron bar extending across the bottom of
tbe elevator, bending him forcibly forward
and the bar again struck bim on tbe bad,
fracturing the vertebrae. He was taken t
the Mercy Hospital.
As is usual in such caßes, be was pars
1 j zed from tbe loins downward. He wa*
unable to move bis legs, aud they were
seemingly dead. A long needle was run
into tbem, hot irons applied to them anil
other equally severe tests made, but there
was a complete loss of motion and sensa
tion in them.
Two large bed-sores developed on eacb
hip and two more on eacb heel, and the
flcsb tell away until tbe bones protruded
Tbe sores on tbe bips were about six inches
long and four wide. These ulcers were
due to tbe waut of uerve supply iu the legs
and tbey invariably follow a fracture

The person injured in tbat way sutlers hor

A Grand Sight.
The screaming of the whistles of a score
or more of steamboats *t Cincinnati, last
Sunday announced that tho great ice gorge
had started. The people had been mo
mentarily expecting it for twenty f.m:
honrs, and within a few minutes ttns ol
thousands were gazing upon the grander
scene of destruction ever witnessed on th
river there. Fully $200,000 worth of floa:-
ing property had been broken from it*
moorings and was being carried down th'
river and ground to pieces in the surging
mass of ice.
On tbe coal fleets and steamboats cast
adrift in the merciless tide were half
hundred or more workmen, who could n"
get ashore and were carried down the rivt.
on their frail crafts.
The heaviest individual losers are th-
Winifrede Coal Company of Cincinnat
Forty loaded barges of coal were biokei
loose from their elevator, besides fifteen or
twenty empty barges. A low estimate 01
their loss is $85,000. Counting the losses
that occurred on Friday the total will ag
gregate from $300,000 to $350,000.
The scene at the river was irresistible,
and tbe many new cables and hawser
that had been put out from the fleets wer.
snapped like cotton threads. Commencing
at the foot of Central avenue, the first
movement of the gorge crushed the steam
er George Matheson, belonging to th-
Vfarmet Company, and it sank at the foot
of Smith street. At the same moment the
entire fleet of empty bargeß and the steam
er John U. Lewis,belonging to Capt. Alex
under Montgomery, directly across th.
river, were torn loose, and many of the
barges were crushed to pieces on the Chesa
pe&ke A Ohio and the Cincinnati Southern
bridge piers. Tbe steamer Lewis had the
narrowest escape of its existence.
Below Montgomery's the Willow Run
lauding was stripped of all its etnpt;.
oarges. Two more empty barges were
taken from Sol. II Kineon's elevator. The
gas bouse landing, the Montgomery Coal
Company and the Queen City Coal Com
pany, all having comparatively small
fleets, escaped. Fmr loaded barges an-,
one or two empty ones were torn from tbe
fleet of tho Campbells Creek Coal Com
Then came the tug of was with tbe
Winifrede fleet which extended six barges
wide out into the current. But the twent>
heavy hawsers would not hold it, aud th.
entire fleet of forty loaded barges an.!
fifteen or twenty empty ones were sen'
idrift. Striking the fleet of the Cincinnati
Coal and Coke Company, fiur more loaded
•.arges and three partly loaded ones were
taken. In the collision several barges
were crushed so badly that they sank im
'nediately and were torn to pieces in the
grinding ice. ,
At Collier, Budd <fc Co.'s two loadej
oarges were swept away, one being so bad
lv damaged tb«t it frank under the Snath
•rn bridge Three more loaded bar*"*
md a loaded coal boat were crushed and
sunk at the Pitrsburg Coal Company's low
-r elevator. The entire fleet of empt\
oarges was torn away at Fleming .t Bai
lard's landing Mill Creek I.ndii.g escaped
injury for the secoud time in three days.
The fleets that were swept away on tri
lay aud were era beded in the gorge b**l«»w
the city were carried a* ay for the second
ime Robinson' fleet was entirely de
•troyed with the exception of two barges
V large number of men had been working
ou Buck's fleet all day to relieve its dan
gerous condition, and these along w i'b 'he
■tbers went on down. Tbe fleet was float
tng, but in very bad condition when 11
p'issed Coal City and North Bead
n no telling bow much or how little ol the
coal can be saved
Several ol the Pittsburg c.ial operator
were seen regarding their losses and a co
■.ervation estimate places the damage a'
$325,000. The danger is not all pist th
gorge as stopped and started again sever
*l times at North Bend nd river men ar.-
r'earful that tho entire field will stop agan
The i.ig fleet of tine passenger boats « l
the White line sustained but liltledainag.
There are only two or three of the big coal
••levator that will be aide to work to-mor
row on account of having their floats and
inclii.es smashed to pieces Hol P. Kir
eon has been elevating night and day for
some time to get ali his coal on the ban*
«nd he bad only one or two loaded barges
left. The present ice break-up is the most
disastrous one ever knowu here; and h1
though the losses are very heavy, the lart;
est concerned are tbe b«avest losers and
o financial embarrassment is expected to
follow.
THE imputation of guilt in connection
with the pHbama scandals made agaiupt
President Carnot cast a profound gloom
over Prance, last week Ibis climax ol
shame was received by tbe
people more in sorrow tbau in
«nger. There was none of the ex
citeinent and long denunciation with
vbich the first series of revelations wa
received. The question everywhere con
"iviered by sober people is: (lan we live
under a government which is universally
discredited, and whose doom is sealed ?
A Remarkable Career.
Audrew Rankin, of Karthans station,
t'learfield Co., was arrested in Tioga Co
a few days ago, and is now boarding in the
j iii of Clearfield county.
His career is a remarkable one. Living
in a strong Democratic township, be was
regularly elected as a Republican justice ct
the peace and enjoyed the esleein of all tbe
people in bis end of the county. When
Harrison was inaugurated ltaukin was
made postmaster, but turned tbe office
over to a Democratic frieud. who conduct
ed it as his deputy and Rankin dealt out
law and justice at the old stand.
When a Democrat wanted a county of
fice Rankiu was the man to sue in bis dis
trict and he helped many of them to tbe
una!. When any of his neighbors died
intestate Rankin was appointed adminis
trator and all tbe fatherless children of tbe
lower end of tbe county had him as their
guardian.
lie represented all the veterans as a pan
sion attorney, aud, being a widower, bail
wbat is popularly known as a cinch on the
claims of all the widows before Uncle
Sam's bounty bureau He also collected
the taxes, acted as treasurer for half the
neighborhood, and in tact was a modem
"Poob-Bah "
Things ran along smoothly in Rankin's
maDy departments until some one of his
neighbors, who bad entrusted the paying
off a judgement on tbe Common Pleas rec
ords to hiiu, found tbat, instead of :be
docket being satisfied, an amicable scire
facias bad entered aud the judgement re
vived. He looked into the records and
found his signature in Rankin's handwrit
nig He, ot course, objected, und then all
who had business in Kankin's hands com
luenued to investigate.
Oue man who had sold S6OO worth ot
-beep, aud Rankin had tbe money. Sev
eral notes wer« iu the bank which Rankin
nad told the drawers thereof were paid,
and these notes were signed by Rankin
One old citizen who had put his signuturi
to sever-1 papers at. Raukiu's instance, dis
covered that tbey were uotes, aud, instead
of beiug a prosperous farmer, be is now i
broken down old man, innolvent and de
peuding upon the bounty of bis friends
Oue might go ou lor a week enumerating
similar instances of Kaiikin's methods, but
it would only serve to make some of hir
victims feel badly.
When all had come to light, Rankin's
sudden disappearance and his whereabout:
were a mystery. As soon as the law
would permit his creditors levied on bin
personal property and sold it Then the
real estate was condemned and disposed
of W lien his family left the old home
stead, it was tound tfflit Rankin bad bcei

aud, by tue aid ot a tr end, lad foiled the
many searchers who had been after him.

weary days and nigi.t« while hm pursurer
were s'arching ibe country for him.
After tbe family left Rankin was tracked

THE PENSION ROLL.
Further Answer to the Democratic Her- !
aid.
EDITOR ClTlZEN: —Referring again to the
ir.fair, dishonest and unjust clippings in
the Herald of December 3<"t!i. 1592. we Me
impressed with the tone of these articles, I
•vbieli » uld lead the average reader to j
hink the only pensioners on the rolls were
rom among the soldiers ibat fought the :
rebellion to the death, saved tbe country j
irom destruction aud preserved among the
nations of the world tbe principle of self
government by the people of tbe United
States; and judging from these clippings
he writer - appear to desire their readers
to believe those men who did so much
or this couutry were a soriy lot of soldiers
—a set of freebooters or plunderers, as it
*ere. who are now trying to follow up the
-»me line up;.u the government in applying
!';ir pensions Shame upon such a set of
xriters for tho pu!<lic press, and equal
snanie follow the editors of a p.tper that
■vould publish such unjust clippings. We
w..uld suggest to the "young men" at the
lead of the Herald that while "Uncle
Jake" lived and had it in charge no such
alse ami libelous article-* appeared in it.-
column* agaiust the soldiers, and if they
■vaut to retain the respect of the decent
element of the Democratic party they will
uu moro give place to snch railings against
pensions aud pensioners. For the benefit
>f the "young men" at the head of the Her
ald wo will give them a little information
ihey don't seem to pos-ess, which may not
!>e strange when we think they were in
their "baby clothes" when the men on the
pension rolls, were earning, by the hardest
kind of service, the right to be there and
dra"' pensions from the government.
At the close of the last fiscal year the
number of pensioners of all classes on the
rolls ol the pension office n.- 876 063. T •
arrive at the number of soldiers of tbe war
of '6l to "05 on ihe rolls, who seemed to be
the special targets of the Democratic press,

Widows ar.d daughters of Revolutionary

1812. 163; widjws or soluiers of warof 1812.

282; widows of soldiers and sailors of 61 t"

•f same war uuder art of 27tn of June,
1890, 47,613. making total to be deducted
188.206, leaving soldiers of war of '6l to '6O
on the rolls, 687.862 HOT does this com
pare with tbe Ihrald'g figures that sa}
• there are over 9UO,IX>O pensioners on tU"
rolls." Any body can figure out the magni
tude of this Democratic lie.
Here are some more of the Herald»
clipping.,—choice bits of 1 terature, seiect
■o i>y the worthy young editors from other
paper?, because tbe Herald cli/iper was so
impressed with their truth, perhaps. We
oU"te: It is a startling fact, that as we

WHO took part in it increases. If we were
to stale that there are more persons apply
ing for and drawing pensions to-day tha i
the entire army rolls had on them during
ibe war it would scarcely be believed, and

We ean say to onr patrons that the

btßt manner that good macbinerv
and practical milling caa do it, as we
have in oor employ one of tbe bei»t
practical miller* in the State of Penn
avlvatiia We citn f»*T witbuot
iear of contradiction that we are
turning oat the beat atraiirht grade of
wheat flour in tbe county. We
tbuik it an advantage to the farmer
to get hip grinding done at our mill
lor theee reaeoue:
FIKST —We make aa good wheat
floor aa can be manufactured and
the farmers get th« same flour in
exchange as tbe millionaire
would, were we bleaeed with
them in this neighborhood.
SECOND—We can do your chop
ping for you, so that you are Dot
compel ed to sell your grain at
low prices and buy yoar chop.
TlllKP—We can make the best
buckwheat flour ever manufac
tured in the county, aa we bare
iuat completed arranging tbe
Dew machinery for same, and it
worka like a charm.
FOURTH—We can make you rye
flour if you desire it. Our rye
flour always brings tbe highest
price in Pittsburg. Ac.
FIFTH Wemnkeasgood a corn
meal as there is in tbe market.
SIXTH Our Orabam flour cannot
he excelled. We manufacture
every article that is io our line
of bu»iness, and with tbe latest
improved machinery, and beat
practical skill.
The farmer will readily *ee that it
i* more profitable to him to patronize
a null wtiere he can itrt all bia differ
