The elec tion officers shall, at such election, re ceive ballots from qualified electors, written or printed as follows: On the outside "poor-house," on the inside either "for poor-house" or "against poor house;" at the close of the polls the votes shall be counted, etc., and the election wasso held;but the general elec tion law, as amended in 1897, provides that when a question is submitted to the people, such question shall be print ed on the ballots in brief form, followed by the words "yes" and "no," the voter to make an X after the answer he wishes to give; and the last section of the act repeals all laws and parts of laws inconsistent with the general law. Citizens of Washington twp. have a petition contesting the late election for School Director in that twp. R. D. Pettigrew and .T, M. Hazlett were can didates for the three year term and were so marked on the ballots, T. H. Henon was candidate for one year, Eli D. Gibson and Alfred Khira were also three year candidates, but were not so specified on the ballots. The two latter received a majority of the votes and were declared elected. The school law of 1896 says, "where some of the tickets i>olled have and some have not the term marked on the ballot that the candidate is to serve, those which have not the specification on their face are to be rejected and the retnrn is only to be given according to the number of votes to those tickets specifying the term on the face of the ballots polled." The claim that Pettigrow, Ha/.lett, and He non are elected is based on this law. A hearing will be had March 12th.

The death of Miss Lillie Brandon, at the home of her brother, W. S. Bran don, in Butler last Friday noon, is an apt illustration of the old saying that misfortunes never come singly. A few years ago there was no strong er or healthier girl in the county; but one day when they were cutting straw at their house with horse-power, her father, W. W. Brandon, had his fin gers caught by the knives. He prompt ly threw off the belt with his other hand, and Miss Lillie, who was stand ing by, clutched the heavy fly-wheel and was taken around and around with it —since which time her heart has been troubling h**r Some four weeks ago she came to But - ler on a visit to her brother, and while here was taken down with typhoid. The fever was broken but then heart - failure set in, and she lay unconscious for several days, till death came. She was buried at White Church, Sunday; her hearse being followed to the grave by a large number of young friends who mourned her untimely death - CHURCH NOTES The Bethany Reformed church on W. North St. is being repainted, newly car peted, etc. which when completed will add very much to the looks of the church. After the services of next Sunday morning, in the Second Presbyterian Church, Rev. Worrel will take up a collection for the Cuban Famine Suf ferers, and it would not be a bad idea for all the churches in Butler County to do the same.

The Maine Burying Itselt A dispatch from Havanna dated last Thursday stated that the wreck of the Maine is slowly but snrely sinking in the mud. Before the hull conld be raised it would be necessary to re move the guns and deck debris. For lack of proper appliances practically nothing in this line has been accom plished. Aside from the officers and cabin effects the salvage thns far has been pitifully small. The clondy weather and rain made the work of the divers unsatisfactory to-day and very little was done. It is said that a hole has been made by the divers in one of the forward hatches, and it is hoped that a number of bodies will be recov ered. The court of inquiry sat longer than usual to-day, the six divers being exam ined more in detail than heretofore. The time of the departure of the Man grove with the court for Key West has not been determined. Capt. Sampson said to day that it was doubtful wheth er his vessel would sail tomorrow; that all depended on the developements of the testimony. The Spanish cruiser Alfonso XII. has been towed to a buoy further with in the harbor to make room for the cruiser Vizcaya, which is expected here tomorrow or the next day from the north. No word has been recevied at the consul general's office from Mr. Walter P.. Barker, the United States consnl at Sanga la Grande and it is believed that the report of Mr. Barker's illness is untrue. At the afternoon session of the court of inquiry the examination of divers was continued. A civilian, whose testimony is said to be of some import ance, was also examined. The name of the witness and all the particulars of the evidence are withheld. Late to-day the paymasters' safe with $22,500 and his papers was taken from the wreck. Boyond this no state ment is made as to the value and na ture of the contents. A large quantity of water ran ont when the safe was raised above ths surface. The complaint is still made that the electric lamps are of little use to the divers, as the light is faint and uncer tain, and to hold them takes one of the diver's hands. They have assuredly proved of little value in the present in vestigation. So far as reports made public go. the workmen on the tug Right Ann, with th»- assistance of the naval divers, are laboring hard to re cover the bodies under the hatch which led to fire room platforms. Shoring with timbers was necessary, and the di vers had to wait for the lumber to-day. It is hoped the bodies will be taken ont to-morrow. The Havana pajiers print long ex tracts from the American dailies, lint, of course, only the delayed news. All the Americans are anxiously awaiting the arrival of to-morrow's Mail. William Gartrell, the only surviving fireman of the battleship Maine, has written two letters home to his brother, George Gartrell, of Washington D. C. In his description of the explosion. Gartrell gives the first authentic ac count of the death of Lieutenant Jen kins and he relates in a graphic way the manner in which the lieutenant met his death. "About 9:40 o'clock," he says, "I wan crossing the third lower (leek and was preparing to turn in, when of a sudden a terrific explosion orenred and when I staggered to my feet 1 found myself in the dark. There was one light in the distance and I made toward that, (in the way I met Lieutenant Jenkins and a soldier named Garnett. "We made for the ladder and the ship was rapidly filling with water. We reached the hat eh hole and the water was gaining on us fast. Garnett said, 'We're lost,' and seemed about to give up, hut Lieutenant Jenkins, who was the last man to reach the ladder and who was following, said, 'Go ahead, don't give up.' Garnett pulled through and jtnlled me after him. As I fell up on the deck. I heard Lieutenant Jen kins cry, 'My God! I am drowning,' and 1 remember nothing more. " A ward room boy named McCann saw me lying there, and, picked me up, threw me overboard. The water re vived me and I swam ashore." PARK THEATRE. HI. HENRY'S MINSTRELS—MARCH ». Hi.

This is a vrv important meeting, up on the action of which depends to a great extent the future of our town. The time fixed is far enough ahead to enable almost every citizen to arrange to be present, and as this is in our opin ion the most important meeting ever held to advance our manufacturing interest- the failure of anyone who can possibly attend to do so would seem to indicate an indifference as to the town's future prosperity. Please remember everybody is want ed at this meeting, not the rich alone, nor your neighlior. but the rich and poor, yonr neighbor and yourself, and especially yourself, if you have an in terest in the upbuilding of Butler This meeting is called by the directors of the Board of Trade, "but understand it is not a Board of Trade meeting, but a citizens' meeting, and while all mem bers of the Board of trade are requested to Ite present it is just as important that every other citizen be present as well as members of the Board of Trade J.
