Arrange your work so that you can attend the election on that day. IF the hard times pinch you, go to the polls and vote the Republican ticket. A Republican victory is the best remedy » know of for hard times. THE election next Tuesday is quite a important as any held in this State for years. Don't forget to attend and vote the whole Republican ticket. OUR ticket, state and county, is a good one and should receive the vott of every Republican in the county. This should not be an off year in Butler county. A WOMAN in New York went into a dance hall the other night and found her husband, who was employed as floor man ager, dancing with another woman. She flew at him with a hat pin and stabbed him to the heart. Women's hats and bonnets are the cause of much trouble in this world, and we would advise a return to the ancient Greek style of wearing ap parel for ladies. THE Yellowstone National Park is one of the greatest of natural wonders, and much has been done to make the trip through it comfortable and enjoyable. But, according to the report of the Super intendent, the number of visitors is de creasing instead of increasing. In 189", it was nearly 4000; in 1893, it was last year, it was 1635; and this year up t July 25, it was only 425- And yet th travel to Europe grows larger ev ry y ai while this and other interesting region of our own conntry are neglected. THE expedition of Dr. Bell of the Geo logical Survey, undertaken last June into the fastness of British America by a rouie directly north from Ottowa to Rupert s House on James' Bay, has resulted in tit; discovery of a river which Dr. Bell de scribes as the 'Nile of the North' and sixtli largest river in the world. Its average width is a mile, and it is 500 miles long. It has three large tributaries, one rising north of Three Rivers, and another in the lake St. John region and the third near lake Mistassini. A primeval forest skirts the river's brink the whole distance, which is navigable to the rapids to the north. A CHICAGO doctor, one of that kind that lives in the past and has been prac ticing for forty years —one of those who still believe in bleeding a man and letting his blood drip for all sorts of illness from a stubbed toe to a scalp wound—is against anti-toxine. He says that it produces blood poisoning, and that it should not be used. He will please explain why, when anti-toxine is used the death rate in diphtheretic cases decreases to an amazing extent? He ought to catch uji with the times, and ride with liii face t< the locomotive instead of bis back. H. H HOLMES, or Herman Mudgett, wtto&e name or alias has rung throughout the length and breadth of the continent as the most unscrupulous and skillful murderer of modern times, was placed on trial in the court of Oyer and Terminer of Philadelphia, Monday. The specific charge to which he is called to answer is the murder of Benjamin F. Petzel, and he has already officially declared himself not gnilty. Holmes created a sensation in Court Monday by discharging his attorneys and conducting his case himself. A Jury was selected. Tuesday, he weaken ed and sent for his attorneys who came back to him; and considerable evidence was taken. • On Wednesday the case was continued, Holmes taking the lead on his side. Mrs. Pietzel told the remarkable and horrible story of the disappearence of her family, and of her finding their bodies at the morgue. THE Republican National Committer will shortly decide the time and place for holding the next National Convention. Chairman Carter, who was in Washing ton lately said that he had asked the opinion of every meml>er of the Commit tee by letter, and has had personal con ferences with a number of them. It is an inviolable rule that tie Committee meeting which decides the time and place for the Convention must be held six months previous to the date upon which the Convention meets. There is a diifer ence of opinion, both in and out of the Committee, as to whether the Convention should be as early as May, or whether it Rhould be held after the Democratic Con vention; —in words, whether the Presidential campaign shall be a long or a short one. Tlu- decision lies entirely with .he National Committee, although the action of its members will, of course, be largely influenced by the opinion of other leading Republicans. Should a majority of the Committee indicate their preference for holding the Convention in May, the Committee meeting will have to lie held sometime next month. THE Republican committee of Indiana county at a recent meeting decided to change the rule for nominating candi dates for CongTess and the State Senate so that the candidate receiving the ma jority of the popular vote sliull IK- the nominee. They will endeavor to have the other counties in the district t.ike similar action. On its face this would seem to be the best method of making nominations. It certainly would be the idea' method if men were governed more by their reason and less by their preju dices. If the qualification and fitness of men were alone considered, and county lines were not regarded, the method of nominating by the popular vote would result in much good. Better men would be secured and there would be no dis gusting deadlocks, and no scandalous j accusations of bribery in conferences. This would not result as some would think, in the people of each county vot ing solidly for their own man, and thus giving the larger counties of a district an advantage of the smaller ones. Men of capacity and courage; with a good repu tation in their home counties can easily make friends In adjoining counties. What Electricity Is Doing. The Mining and Scientifie I'rcs* has •~en indulging in an article on the uses lo wbich electricity has be«n put and is be in* applied. Brit-fly snmmar zed the com paratively new force enters iuto the pre paration o r what we eat. drink and wear, a„d there are many articles of utility now produced by iis aid. The residents of many cities in the United States hare their houses protected, lighted heated bj electricity. The., go lo their places of business in cars ran by electricity, the ele l vator by which they reach their offices in ,ign buildings, or the mach'nery in their i .dories, is run by electricity. Ttie bejl whicu summons them to ehnrch is rung by electricity and the church organ is played b» electricity. Electricity brings the news 10 them !rum all parts of the earth, stamps iheir letters, automatically sounds the alarm in case of tire, rings the door bel,, cooks the food, and fans them while eat mg it. When they go to the dentist their teeth are drilled and filled by electricity, and miniature electric lamps are now cou i-trusted for the use of doctors in diagno sing disease. The patient swallows a lighted lamp, which illuminates his person so as to enable the physician to make a crrect diagnosis. Tne barber cuts or binges the hair by means of electricity, th« streets are lighted and the farm cultivated by it. By means of it we can talk *ith ur friends five hundred or one thousand Hiss away and bear their voices as dis , ,ctly as though they were in the same „iuj. Tne telephone is perhaps in more general use in this country than electric lighting. Even in small towns telephones I..rm a part of the furniture of many pri vate honees, and are used to transmit or icrs to th- butcher, baker, etc. There are o«.w some eighty-five electric railways in the United States and uine thousand miles of track, eaiployijg twenty three thousand ears With the aid of electricity natural t .rces which have heretofore ran to waste are being turned to the service of mankind. The American river Las already been made to famish motor power by woich Sacra mento is lighted, aud by which its street cars are run, and new projects are in pro gress all over California. What is being done with Niagara's great water power has already been referred to, and several of the great steam railroads are seriously considering the question ol substituting electricity as their meaus of locomotion. The new power is yet in its swaddling clothes, so to speak, but some thing uew is b>*ing developed by it ail the while. It is hard to estimate or even com prehend what electricity will not do. Wonders will never cease as long as it re •lains man's aid in their accomplishment. A Texas Tragedy. S-ar Tyler. Texas, Monday, a negro .. > !

I cut her tnroat, and cut her in another place, and left." He wrote a note to his wife and gave it to the Sheriff. It read as follows. "1 am arrested by -Wig' Smith.

He was then lashed to the iron rail that ex tended through the platform. Mr. Bell, the husband of the murdered lad;', applied the match and the flame* shot upwards en veloping the brute in flames.

BUYING AND SELLING Another Free Trade Theory Smashed to Smithereens. One of the greatest of the free trade war pries has always been that' if we did not buy we could not sell," meaning that If we manufactured in our own country all thej goods required for our own market without importing any from foreign coun tries, then foreign countries would not buy any of our farm produ-ts or domestic man ufactures. Many people haYe been fool ish enough to believe this theory. Now let us look at the facts. Taking the statistics of our import and export trade for the fiscal years ending June 30, 1894-o, as supplied by the bureau of statistics of the treasury department, we find that our imports from European countries durin* the two years were as follows: IMPORTS FROM EUROPE. 1R95 $383,686,842 1894 295.677,855 Increase. 1895 —■ $87,808,977 It appears that during the 1895 year, since the Gorman tariff went into effect, we bought from European countries for eign goods worth $88,608,977 more than we bought in 1894. Having increased our pur chases by this large sum of money in a single year we naturally turn to the figures of our exports, expecting to find that we have increased our sales of American goods by about the same amount of money, but what do we find? Here are the figures: EXPORTS TO EUROPE. 189 - $700,870,822 189 627.975.133 Decrease, 1895 —s72. ,81*5,689 It seeins that during 1895 we sold to European countries $72,895,689 worth less of our American products and manufact ures than wo did during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1894. In the 1395 year we spent over $88,600,000 more money in Eu ropean countries, and they spent ?7J,900,- 000 less money in this country. We cer tainly bought more from them, but in stead of their returning the compliment, they bought less from us. Our loss for the year's deal under the Gorman tariff, which is only the first step toward free trade, exceeded $160,000,000. Thus another free trade theory is smashed.

The Republican Record and the Demo cratic Exhibit to Date. The yery considerable reduction of the public debt began with General Grant's administration. In March, 1869, the total funded debt of the United states was about $2,750,000,000, not including un settled claims, that, in the aggregate, amounted to tens of millions or more. At the close of General Harrison's administra tion the public debt, in excess of cash on hand, was a trifle less than $810,000,000. Thus in the twenty-four years from 1569 to 1893, while the country was subject to the policy of the Republican party in finance and business, the national debt was reduced in the enormous sum of nearly $1,900,000,000. The first term of Mr. Cleveland is Included in the twenty four years, inasmuch as his election was not attended or followed by any change of policy until the year 1893, nor from 1885 to 18x9 was any change apprehended. During these twenty-four years the re duction was at a rate of $79,000,000 a year. Under the Cleveland administration tiio country is treated to a deficit of $57,000,000, a change of $136,000,000 per annum. Tho enormous deficit is due to the policy of tbo Democratic party, and for that pol icy that party is now on trial.—Boston Journal.

Franklin Thompson, living in Wetzel comity, W Ya. heard a commotion among Bis chickens, lie took h:s Winchester rifle, and going to the yard: ti'ed two shi - in the direction ot the inisp. Everything became quiet, he retired to bed. (Jn going to the hen house next mornmjr, Ihonips n ioand Thomas Eckles, a neighbor, who had always borne a good reputation, and who was a member of church, lying <>n tte ground dead, with a ballet bole through his head In eae'i band Kokl.-- still clutched a livo chicken, with which be was getting away when shot. The Allegheny river is so low that in mat y places between Franklin aud Oieau. where the river bed i- wide, one con walk across ou the stones without more tbau wetting the s. ;• Ml. The water stands in sluggieh pools, and is almost to low for the ti>h to breath. There are different ways of keeping a hoy quiet, but perhaps the most novel was teat adopted by a public school teacher •it New Castle one day recently, when she pasted a sticking plaster across a pupil's month. The little fellow was laughing and was so amused about something that ne could not stop when commanded to do so. The teacher was prepared for ju>t uch a case ot insubordination, aud pr tucing a big piece of sticking plaster she held the boy and pasted it across his lips. Thus bidding them tightly together, aud compelling him to ureath through his uose. Witb tne plaster still across his mouth he was given a seat in the hali. lie hen tried to pull it off, but it stuck tight ly. After awhile he was brought back .mo the school room where the sticker was moistened and pulled off While four Tioga Co. boys were out hunting a lew days ago, tfcey treed a larg> wildcat, and the beast ran out on a larg»- lioib aud there crouched in angry defiance. The young men thought it would be a good scheme to catch the beast alive, 8" • ■ne stayed aud watched while the otuer went to the nearest I ahiiatioii and g"t a good-sized box aud a rope.

It is a beautiful specimen, estimated to weigh 30 to 40 pounds. The hunters over in Cambria county are having great luck killing wild turkey.
