COUNTY.

A. M. CHRISTLEY.
FOR COUNTY SURVEYOR.
FRANK E. McQUISTION.
DON'T forget that the election will
take place next Tuesday. 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 hen near the scene the officers weri<

Henry Billiard, brought before the com

substance as tol'ows:
"I was coming down the road, and saw
Mrs. Bell in the road She was scared ol
me, and I knew if I passed her she would
say that I tried to assault her, and I con
cluded ihat I would assault her and then
kill her. 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.

Two Opinions.
Let your neighbor hive his own opinion
arid respect him for it. If you thii'k be is
wrong, tell him so, and try to show him
•vht rein ho errs. Bnt do not love him less
if yon fail to induce bim to adopt your w«y
of thinking. Remember that it takes a 1
humanityjlo look it every phase of a qnes
tion, and the man who thinks he alone can
see the truth, is a bigot.—Ex.
'•I find comfort at times in tl'o observa
tion that, although limits are set to genius,
there is no limit to stupidity. Never ar
(rue; you will never convince anybody;
opinions are alift e nails, the harder you
hammer at them the deeper you drive
them in." — Dumas

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.

ADDING TO THE DEBT.
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

NEIGHBOR KOOD NOTES.
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. Then one of
ihe hunters climbed high into the tree
above the bea-t and succeeded alter some
patient work iu lassoing its bind leg wilt,
a slipping-noose Tnen with ibe rope, be
lowered the snarling captive into the bos.
and the other hunter had to be "quicker
ihan a cat" in getting the cover on, but
he succeeded, The wildcat is now quar
tered in a commodious cage, but it still
appears to be in a bad temper. 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.
The other day a party ot huuteis encouu
t.-red a flocK ol 40 turkeys i.nd succeeded
in bagging 10 oi them.
Lockport is the home of two women
who have won more or less notoriety
They are Mrs Mary Davis Smith and Mr.-.

and are said to he the oldest twins in the
world. Tbej were horn in Ireland, their
mother li\ing to be 11)3 years old. Mr-.
Smith is the mother ot 18 children and Mrs
Wray has 22. About two years ago the
venerable pair accepted an offer to join
a circus, receiving a large salary, but at
present are at their home enjoying good
health.
Tbo K mien ton Xeics contains a society
item to the effect that a young gentleman
of that place is able to be out alter having
been laid up for several days with "a mild
touch of lever," but that "on account of
his illness bis marriage with Miss ,
announced to take place this evening, has
been postponed indefinitely."

Anti-toxin proveu a success in a case In
Beaver Co , last week. Three weeks atio
the 7-year-old son of A. J Freed, of Big
Beaver township, was taken with the
most malignant type of the diseaso He
spite the efforts of the family physician,
Dr J. W. Coffin, the child rapidly grew
worse and death seemed inevitable As
a last resort Dr. Coffin decided to use
anti-toxin, although he hati little faith in
the new discovery. Two injections of the
serum were all that was necessary. Iu 24
hours the membrane had disuppeared trmu
the child's throat, he began to recover
rapidly, and was able to be up for the
first time next day. Dr. Ccffin asserts that
had it not been for antt-toxiue tho child
would have died.
There were no students expelled from

Only One
Special item in Dress Goods
from among hundreds, all
wool materials, 20c, 25c, 35c
to $4.50, do we call special
attention to this week, and
every woman who cannot
come we ask to write for
samples of these new all-wool
Two Toned Diagonal Suit
ings, 50 inches wide, 50c a
yard.
We think.without question the
greatest Suiting value ever sold—
here or elsewhere. They are com
binations of red and black, green
and black, blue and black, brown
and black, red and blue, and mix
tures of brown and black and blue
and brown flecked in bright con
trasting colors—just enough of
the yellow, red, green, white or
blue to give character to these soft
all-wool Diagonals—so inches
wide, 50c a yard.
They'll sell at sight, and quick
action required if you'd get a
gown by mail order—write for
samples at once.
Cloak Room
Not lacking in interest—thousands
of garments to select froui. New
ness, Style and Shapeliness mark
every one, from nobby Jacket,
to JL40.00, or Cape, $2.00 to elegance in
Fur #325,00.
