State Convention—At Harrisburg,
Thursday, April 23d, for the purpose of
nominating two candidates for Congress
at-large; 32 Presidential Electors; and
■electing eight delegates to the Republi
can National Convention to be held at
St. Louis, June 16th.
The following was adopted at the last
meeting of the County Committee:
Resolved, That none but known Re
publicans l>e allowed to vote at a Republi
can primary election in this county, and
if not known as such by the election
board, the person offering to vote must
state under oath that he will support the
Republican nominees at the following
November election, if he votes at all,
provided that this rule shall not conflict
with the rule now in force allowing one
to vote at a primary election who has
not attained his twenty-first year, but
who will be oyer twenty-one years of age
at the succeeding November election.
Withdrawal.
HARRISVILLE, PA., March 10, 1896.
Having been prevented by illness for
several weeks from engaging in the
canvass for County Commissioner, and on
renewed effort finding that my health
and the force of circumstances will not
permit me to make a desirable canvass, I
nave decided to withdraw. With sincere
thanks for expressions of confidence and
offers of support,
J. f. MCGARVEY.
Withdrawal.
SARVERSVII.LE, PA., MARCH 14th, 1896.
MR. EDITOR:—
Owing to reasons entirely per
sonal I have concluded to withdraw my
name as a candidate for Assembly at the
Republican Primaries on the 28th. inst.,
and in doing so express my most sim:ere
thanks to my many friends throughout
the county for promised support and
kindly feeling tendered me.
Had I received the nomination and
been elected I would have most earnestly
endeavored to do my duty as a member
in the House, and as far as possible ad
vanced the interests of my native county,
Butler. Should I have failed in receiv
ing the nomination my most hearty sup
port would have l>een given all the nom
inees upon the ticket, as I have been a
Republican all my life and always rejoice
at its success and progress.
In retiring from the canvass 1 do so
without desiring to favor any special can
didate or interest. I am, as ever,
Yours Truly,
MATTHEW N. GREER.
If the old adage proves true, that
"mi.ny March snows will insure a fruit
ful summer," then we can hope for
plenty in 1896.
Texas had a heavy frost last Sunday
night, with ice an inch thick, which
killed all the fruit in the north and
northwest part of the State.
The legislature of South Carolina has
passed a new Dispensary law, and that
State may be regarded as in the liquor
business to stay.
Kentucky has a "favorite son" in the
person of Governor Bradley, the Repub
lican State Central Committee having
adopted a resolution in favor of his nom
ination for President,
A car load of redwood has been recent
ly sent to Nuremberg, Germany, for the
use in making lead pencils. California
redwood and cedar are about the only
woods useil in the manufacture of pencils
and the European forests, froiu which
the pencil wood supply was formerly ob
tained, have become exliasted.
The Republicans of Ohio held their
State Contention last week, and it is
needless to say that in point of size and
enthusiasm it was a noteworthy gather
ing. Certainly if Ohio's Presidential
candidate has any cause to question
either the extent or the sincerity of his
home indorsement that fact is not ap
parent to outsiders. The republicans of
the State are evidently in dead earnest
in their determination to make Mr. Mc-
Kinley the next President of the United
States.
The Process of Reform.
A great many people labor under the
delusion that permanent and complete
moral and social revolutions may be
wrought by a simple majority of ballots
at the polls. The Prohibitionist vainly
imagines that if his theories were triumph -
a nt at the election it would prove the
death blow of intemperance. The Social
ist seetas to think that a victory at the
polls would reverse the social order, place
the lower stratum on top, and right all
injustice.
Since the days of the ancient Greeks
and Romans these matters have been vio
lently agitated, and thousands of well
meaning men have become martyrs to re
form ideas. No doubt they have had
their influence for good, but it has been
so small as to be almost imperceptible.
Moral and social reforms are a growth.
They cannot be brought about by a revo
lution in politics. They must l>e accom
plished by a revolution in the hearts and
brains of men—by education and devel
opment. All other so called reforms are
transitory and ephemeral. To broaden
men's minds and quicken their sympa
thies, to make injustice and selfishness
odious, and to glorify good deeds and ex
alt the spirit of self-sacrifice, is the way
to effect reforms. When your individuals,
are right, no matter about your platform.
When your individuals are wrong, your
platform is a rope of sand thct prishes
in the twisting.
Political parties may represent policies
that are salutary or baneful to the na
tional prosperity, just as one man may
have a scheme in view that will prove his
financial ruin, while another may have
one which will make his fortune. They
are mainly matters of expediency, and
may have a powerful effect upon the pros
perity, happiness, and indirectly upon
tile morals, of the people—for it is easier
for those who are prosperous and happy
to be moral—but it can effect no sudden
and permanent change in their appetites
and passions. This can only be done by
good literature, good sermons and good
examples, and then only gradually, aided
by the powerful influence of heredity
and environment.
If ever)* man who is sincerely eager to
make the world better would begin 011
himself, and see how close he can live to
the laws of God and man, instead of try
ing to reform the world by a plank in a
political platform, a great deal more
would be accomplished. A pure life is
the most powerful argument in favor of
temperance and virtue. For instance,
the fact that Wm. E. Gladstone at eighty
seven is strong, vigorous, clear-headed
and honored this side idoltry more uni
versally than perhaps any other living
man, is the most convincing evidence
that a desire to lead a correct life is the
worthiest ambition, and is productive of
the best fruit.
Legislative Bodies.
No people of the world have so great a
distrust in their legislative bodies as the
Americans. Many of us are glad when
Congress adjourns; there is still less re
spect for a State Legislature, and what
shall we say when we come to a city
council? As a result of the distrust, we
have proceeded on the principle that the
Legislature is made up of wild beasts,
and the liberty to legislate is to a great
extent taken away by prohibition on
special legislation. The proposition to
amend the State Constitution, so as to
provide for annual sessions of the Legis
lature, will not meet with much favor.
As long as the memories of the disgrace
ful work done by the last Legislature
linger in the minds of our people, there
will be no tendency to favor these annual
sessions. May no Legislature similar to
the last one ever roll round again in a
millennium of years! Its membership
was composed of the Goths and Vandals
of political plunder, who swept in from
every portion of the State, to feast upon
the wealth of the public treasury that
has jiut been replenished by the honest
taxes of the people.
If the list of bills introduced into the
last Legislature for the avowed purpose
of plundering the treasury were printed
in a list and scattered throughout the
. State, it would form an excellent com
paign document against the ambitions of
some of our anxious law makers. The
cathode rays of truth should be thrown
upon the false mask of patriotism worn
by the average legislator. The only con
solation that we have is to thank God
that political power is transient. The
righteous indignation of the people as
serts itself every two or tliree years, and
the Augean stables arc cleaned.
The legislator of to day may be rele
gated to oblivion to morrow. Thus the
States lives, while the miserable puppet,
who obeys a political master's bidding,
passes through the embryo stages, full
growth and decay in a brief period of
time and is known no more. Occasion
ally a man like the late Austin L. Tag
gart or Charles Wolfe makes himself felt
in the councils of the State, but such
men are few. All our lawmakers should
be men of like character, and we would
have them, too, if the people would
awake from their lethargy, and demand
a higher order of statesmanship in State
and National affairs.—Manheim Sentinal.
That a revision of the Constitution of
Pennsylvania is needed is clear. That in
strument has been found to contain many
barriers to wholesome legislation. It is
too long. It protests too much. It needs
repairs. Hut the wisdom of resorting
again to the old method of holding an
nual legislative sessions is doubtful.
Only five States of the forty-five have
sessions of their legislatures every year,
and the chances are that they would get
along just a well with biennial sessions.
The danger lurking in impure candies
is illustrated with pitiful force in the
case of a Pittsburg child who is threat
ened with paralysis and ii permanently in
jured. The little victim of criminal
canrty manufacturers purchased a stick
of candy for one cent. The candy was
composed of glucose and plaster of paris,
the later a totally indigestible substance.
The child ate the candy, lodged the
plaster of paris in her stomach, and there
it his remained ever since, while she is a
hopeless invalid at the tender age of six
years. Here is a life blighted in
its bud forever merely that a "shrewd"
merchant might pocket an extra fraction
of a cent. The dealer in candy is respon
sible for having such impure stufl on
sale. The maker is primarily responsible
for manufacturing it. Both are criminals
at heart and unfit to be outside the bars
of a penitentiary c:ll.
The fact that William McKinley is be
ing made the target for about all the pol
itical hot shot that is now being fired, is
conclusive proof that he is regarded as
the strong man with the people. News
papers that are opposed to the Republi
can party are working with great zeal to
undermine the popularity of McKinley.
But to use a phra/.e of Henry Ciay, the}
"might as well attack Gibralter with a
j pocket pistol." If McKimey is nomi
nated he will be elected by a majority
that will be simply overwhelming. II
not, there are other eminent Republicans
who will receive jui.t as great a majority.
Political Notes
County Chairman Scott sent out all the
necessary blanks for Saturday's primary,
last week, and they have, no doubt,
reached the proper hands ere this. The
County Committee will meet in Armory
Hall, Monday, at I p. tn.
The official count of the Republican
primaries in Armstrong county shows
that W. F. Turner and G. W. McNees
are nominated for the legislature, the
latter defeating Cochrane bv 300 votes.
Nominees for coiyity offices are: Ireasur
er, Prank Mast; Register and Recorder,
Irwin Campbell; Commissioners, S. E.
Sloan and W. C. Stoery; Auditors, Cyrus
Helm and A. G. Walker; Coroner, tl. B.
Stode. For Congress, D. B. Heiner; for
State Senpte, W. B. Meredith; for Na
tional delegate, J. G. Beal; for State del
egates, I. H. Poster and J. P. Whitworth;
for Prothonotary, Joe Crawford, were
chosen without opposition. The exe
cutive committee appointed Chairman D.
B. Ileiner, Dr. George S. Morrow and
Maj. J. G, Beal a committee to report on
the advisability of conducting future
primary elections on the plan of the
Baker ballot law.
Washington Notes.
The naval appropriation bill which
was agreed to Tuesday by the House
committee, carries an appropriation of
$31,770,133. of which $12,611,034 is f or
the increase of the navy. The items for
improving the navy include the construc
tion of four sea-going coast line battle
ships designed for the heaviest armor
and most powerful ordinance. All the
parts of these vessels shall l»e of domestic
maufacture, and one sea-going battle
ship and one of the torpedo boats shall
be built on or near the coast of the Paci
fic ocean, or in the waters connected
therewith, one torpedo boat on the Mis
sissippi river and one torpedo boat on the
coast of the Gulf of Mexico, provided
thev can be constructed at a fair cost.
Go mez and Maceo are making thing
quite interesting for General Weyler
down in Cuba. Maceo, who is a colored
gentleman, has a score of wounds, and
old General Gomez is a terror. Not long
ago he was surrounded by five Spanish"
soldiers who thought to capture him. He
killed three of them with his broad
sword, or machete; and made his escape.
Reliable reports place the starving
population of Armenia at the fearful fig
ure of more than 400,000 men, women
and children. It is deliberately charged
by missionaries on the spot, who ought
to be well informed, that the settled
policy of the Turkish government is to
kill the native Christians in that way.
The opposition to all measures of relief
justifies the hideous charge and yet the
European powers stand idly by and per
mit this wholesale destruction of a Chris
tian people without interference in an ef
fective way.
A reformed burglar says there are three
things that a burglar dreads. One is a
baby, the second is a little whiffet dog
that can sleep with both eyes open and
barks when a needle falls and the third is
a newspaper. Almost always the paper
rattles or crackles when a foot touches it.
Unless a burglar is so desperate that he
will risk his own life, he will leave the
moment he strikes a house strewn with
newspapers.
Another terrib'y disastrous mistake
took place in Cuba, last week, by which
two columns of Spanish troops opened
fire upon each other at midday. Accord
ing to the few details received, columns
of troops commanded by Gen. Godoy and
Col. Holquin at Santa Rosa plantation,
near Esperanza, Province of Santa Clara,
mistook each other for insurgent forces,
owing, it is said, to the thickness of the
sugar cane. Shots were exchanged for
ten minutes, resulting in the killing of
17 soldiers, among them being Lieut. Col.
I'uenmayor, of the Navas battalion. In
addition, five officers and 84 soldiers were
wounded, two of the latter have since
died, and six others were mortally wound
ed.
Reports from Washington and London
indicate that a method ot settling the
Venezuelan dispute has l>een agreed up
on. It is stated that the question is to be
submitted to a Joint Commission consist
ing of Americans and Englishmen, and
it is added that an arrangement will prob
ably be made for the purchase by Great
Britain of the territory in dispute. This
is understood to be the method by which
Lord Salisbury is to be enabled to retire
with dignity from his untenable position.
It is practically conceded by the ablest
English journals that the British case as
recently published by that Government
will not hold water. Tne London papers
admit that the exposition ol the English
position is a mass of contradictions.
Japan's gallant fight for supreinecy in
Korea has availed her nothing. Russia
has quietly taken charge of that King
dom, and Japan has thought over the
matter and concluded to let Russia con
tinue her protectorate, "because," as an
eminent Japanese statesman said at the
Cabinet meeting, "there is 110 other
course opeu to Japan at present." On
the night of February 10, three Korean
ministers of state, the Hon. Yu Kil
Chun, the Hon. Kim Hang Chip, and
the Hon. Kim Yun Sik, were in consul
tation regarding the most artistic manner
to kill a King. His Majesty was inform
ed of the conspiracy, and placed himself
under the protection of the Russian E*n
basy. The conspirator* were arrested,
and in half an hour had their heads
chopped off. That is the way they do
business in Korea.
Ocean Depth ol 29,400.
Tbe British surveying ship l'engurn re
cently found an ocean depth of 4,900 fath
om#, or 29,400 feet, in latitude 23 40' S.,
longitude 175 ' 10' W., southeast ol the
Friendly Inlands. The bottom was not
reached, however, even at this depth, as a
tanlt in the wire cau sod it to break before
the grentost depth of the ocean at this
point had been determined. It 13 said
that the deepest cast hitherto obtained
was one of 4,65 a fathoms, or 27,930 feet
near Japan.
The Maivets of an Ostriche's Stomach.
The post mortem examination of one of
the flock of optriches oft nod by Barnnm
Bailey, which has been on exhibition at
the Central Park menagerie, Few York
City, gave the spectators a wonderful ob
ject hsson of tho digestive capabilities of
an ostrich The ostrirh was dbseeted by
a taxiderir.i*!. He found the following
articles iu the bird's stomach: One wood
en clothes pin; the bottom of two beer
bottles; a mouth harmonica, five inches
long and two inches wide; a ferrulo of an
umbrella with a piece of the stick in it
about four inches long; a metal Rkate key,
a brass door key, five inches long; a wo
man's black horn comb; two pieoes of coal;
a woman's silk handkerchief; three stones
ah-.ut an inch thick, together with some
cabbage, prass lettuce, celery and consid
erable dirt. Strange to say, the ostrich
dil not die of Indigestion, but from tuber
culosis The bird will be mounted in the
musculo and it would be interesting to
: preserve alongside the collection of objects
which was found in ite stomach.
NEIGHBORHOOD NOTES.
Andrew Cooper, aged about 65 years,
residing at North Buffalo, six miles from
Kittanning, Saturday evening shot his
wife in the right breast and then sent a
ballet into his forehead, Mrs. Cooper is
not expected to recover. He is not serious
ly hart. A domestic quarrel, superinduc
ed by liquor, caused the shooting. As
goon as his wound permits Cooper will be
taken to jail.
Laierne county liquor dealers have paid
the sum of $210,000 lor license to sell the
ardent during the coming year.
Dr. Daniel Henry, a prominent and well
known farmer of Sugarcreek township,
Armstrong county, met his death in •
peculiar manner on Wednesday evening
of last week. He had driven to Kittan
ning and loaded his wagon with shingles
and when within a few hundred feet of his
home the wagon opset and he fell to the
ground with sevoral bundles of shingles on
top of him. When he was discovered some
hours after he was found with his face al
most buried in the mud which had frozen
so stiff that he had to be out out. It is
supposed the force of the fall rendered him
unconscious and the mud smothered him.
Thomas McKee, Esq., of Clintonville,
ex-County Commissioner, and one of the
beat known men in Venango county, has
been confined to his bed for some time
with the grip. Last Friday he was strick
en with blindness and his physicians have
no hope that be will ever recover his
sight.
The proposal to expend $60,000 for sewer
extension at Sharon, Pa., was lost at a
special election.
Hugh McGovero, aged 100 years and 9
months, died at Wilkesbarre, Saturday.
He is survived by his third wife, aged 86,
and three daaghters by his seoond wife.
Weary of the cares of life, John Mc-
Bride, aged 80 years, committed suicide
by flanging himself at hia home, 77 Wash
ington Btroet, Pittsburg; Saturday. He
had worked for Bioth Plinn lor years,
bat had to quit all kinds of labor two years
ago. He had tied a rope around his neck
and around the banaster at tue head of the
stairs, and then jumped over. When
found he was dead. His wife died Christ
mas and hi? daughter followed her to the
grave. Despondency caused the deed.
Abont two hours after this man bad ended
his life, Peter Toung, aged 35, of the
Southside, Pittsburg attempted to commit
suicide by hanging.himself with a strap,
but was cnt down in time to save his life.
The agent of tho War Department has
purchased a site at Kane, Pa ~ for a home
which will be used for consumptives who
contracted the disease in active service in
the army and navy. However, private
citizens who are able to pay for their care
and attention may be admitted. The in
stitution, when finished, will be one of the
fineet in the state.
The council of Krie are about to pass an
ordinance submitting to the taxpayers a
proposition to bond the city lor $175,000
to pave State street, build engine houses,
improve parks, etc. The present debt of
the city is about SBOO,OOO, created by the
construction of water works. They claim
that the water works could be sold to day
for $1,500,000.
Fire broke out at 6 o'clock, Saturday
eveniug in the works of the Pennsylvania
salt manufacturing company, at .Natrona,
and for a time threatened the destruction
of the entire plant. The prompt action ot
the company's fire department confined
the flame* to the smelting and silver ex
tracting portions of the works. This de
partment oonsists of a large number of
frame buildings, covering an area of three
acres, and which contained blast furnaces,
smelting furnaces and lead-lined tanks tor
storing the gold and silver solutions. The
works possessed Cue electrical apparatus
and chemical appliances, and were the
fiuest in the United States. The invest
ment in this alone amounts to $910,000,
and the company took special pride in its
oompletness in every respect. Nearly six
hnndred men were employed, and it was
being run double turn. The flames spread
wish snch rapidity that it was with diffi
culty that the men escaped, althongh only
two men were slightly injured. The
greatest loss is sustained through the melt
ing of the tanks in which the gold and
silver solutions were stored and their os
caping into the mer. Some idea of this
may be gained when it is said that 100,000
ouuees of silver and 3,000,000 ponnds of
copper were produced monthly. The loss
is estimated at $500,000
This week a corps of oivil engineers are
stopping at the Mansion House, who are
engaged locating a Telephone Line which
will, when completed, connect Pittsburg
with Kane, together with all the inter
mediate towns. Its route is via: Callery
Junction, Renfrew, Butler, Miilerstown,
Karns City, Petroha, Bruin, Parker City,
Foxburg, St. Petersburg, Kdinburg, Clari
on, Franklin and Oil City. The work of
erecting the line will soon commence, and
will be pushed with vigor to completion.
The engineers are, with great aocuracy,
measuring the distance and locating the
places for the poles We will, therefore,
soon be blessed with every known facility
for communication. The time is not far
distant when we will be talking acroos the
wide rooliag trackless ocean.— l arker

Lightning's Fatal Freak.
News of a most remarkable occurence
has bean received here from Beaver coun
ty O. T. At tho little postoffice town of
Grand, the Baptist congregation is build
ing a church with a spire 75 feet high.
Saturday afternoon at 4 o'clock, while
James Somets and Harry Ford, painters,
were giving the finishing touches to the
top of the spire, a thunderstorm came up,
accompanied by fierce flashes of lightning.
The painters were seen making efforts to
lower their scaffolding, when a flash
struck the spire, knocking away tbe scat
folding, splitting the spire and leaving
Somers and Fora pinned to the rool dead.
To add to tbe awful scene, the olothing of
the two men was ignited, and for 10 min
utes thoir bodies were seen burning in mid
air
Heavy rain finally extinguished the
flames, and three hours latter the remains
of the painters were brought from the
steeple charred and almost unrecognizable.
To Clean Windows.
Choose a dull day, or at least a time
when the sun is not shining on tbe window
when the sun shines on the window it
causes it to be dry streaked, no matter
bow much it is rubbed, Take a painter's
brush and dust them inside and out, wash
ing all the woodwork inside before touch
ing tbe glass. Tbe latter must be washed
simply in warm water diluted ammo
nia. Do no* use soap. Use a small cloth
with a pointed to get the dust out ot
the corners; wipe dry with a soft piece of
oolton cloth. Do not use linen, as it
makes the glass linty when dry. Polish
with tissue paper or old newspapers This
can be done in half the timo taken whpre
soap is used, and the result will be bright
er windows.

Water Dnnging in Typhoid Fever.
Water drinking in typhoid fever is not
a new suggestion. The importance of
subjecting the tissues to an internal bath
was brought prominently to the notice of
the profession by M. Debave, of Paris,
who was perhaps the first to systematize
this mode of treatment. The treatment
of this eminent physician consists almost
exclusively of water drinking. "I make
my patients drink," he says; and they
mnst be kept pretty busy in attending to
this rinsing process; for they are required
to take from five to six quarts of water
daily, which would amount to eight
ounces every hour.
The writer has for many years followed
the practice of having his patients drink
from one-half to two-thirds of a glass of
water hourly, when awake. It is some
times, however, impossible to induce
patients to drink a large quantity of
water. In cases in which the stomach is
dilated, the patient is often unable to ab
sorb water so rapidly. In these cases the
introduction of water by the rectum
proves a satisfactory substitute for water
drinking. Of course, if the patient sub
sists chiefly upon a diet of thin gruit,
fruit juices,or skimmed milk, the amount
of liquid thus taken may be subti acted
from the quantity of water named. The
important thing is to get into the system,
and out of it, a sufficient amount of
water to prevent the accumulation of
plomains and toxins within the body.
Copious water drinking does not
weaken the heart, but, on the contrary,
encourages its action, by maintaining the
volume of blood. It also aids the action
of the liver, the kidneys, and the skin;
and by promoting evaporation from the
skin, it lowers the temperature.—The
Bacteriological Review.
