The parents of several members of the 15th regiment have lately secured the discharges of their sons, and they did jnst right, for under the circum stances there is no honor in longer re maining in the service nor disgrace in leaving it, and the boys should be at home at their books. All the volunteer regiments should, and probably will, be mustered out of service in the near future. _ I s * one of them should be retained for garrison duty. They did not enlist for such ser vice, their officers alone desire it, and they for the money that is in it. Garrison duty is for the regular army, the officers of which have received a professional education on the building of forts, mounting ot guns, and other subjects, of which the volunteer officers are ignorant; and as the regular army can easily be made large enough to do all the garrison duty required by our new possessions, its officers should be the most determined "kickers" on the re tention of the volunteer organizations. The unpleasant experience that the volunteers are now having with their officers will probably result in volun teers hereafter enlisting "for the war alone, and not for a stated term of years and it would be well for Congress to paAS a law, at its next session, making the pay of volunteer privates and colo nels the same number of dollars. New Line Between the Oceans. The most important news of the past Week was the announcement made of the acquirement of the control of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad by Chicago capital, and that the road will here after be under the management of Pres ident Hill, of the Great Northern Road. This change in the ownership ot the Baltimore and Ohio, giving President Hill a through line from the Pacific to the Atlantic, is a great thing for the West, a great thing for Chicago, a great thing for Baltimore,and it may be a very serious thing for New York and for Philadelphia. In the first place, President Hill has Stood almost alone among American roilroad managers in developing his road according to the old-fashioned ideas of integrity. The main object with him has always been the devel opment of the property. He has taken himself seriously as a;trustee with sol emn obligation to the stockholders. He has permitted none of the inside money making schemes with which the prop erty of the stockholders has enriched the managers on so many American rail roads. The consequence has been that President Hill's road has paid large div idends when robbery was sending the Northern Pacific and other roads into the hands of receivers. There is no donbt that the methods which have made the Great Northern so conspic uous a success in contrast to the array of American railroad wrecks will be ap plied to the Baltimore and Ohio, and there is good reason to think that this new throngh line from the west will play an important part in the growing ri valry of the Atlantic ports.—Philadl phia Inquirer. Sickness is Increasing. There are over 100 typhoid fever pa tients in the division hospitals at Camp Meade and the Red Cross wards have been increased to double their former size to accommodate this class of pa tients. The society has 3.5 trained female nurses on the ground taking care of the most serious cases. More than half the new cases were brought to Camp Meade by the Two Hundred and Twenty-first and Two Hundied and Second New York regi ments from Camp Black. Chief Surgeon Girard has recom mended to Surgeon General Sternberg that mosquito bars, head nets and buck skin gloves be made a part of the regu lar equipment of the men in the army who are going to Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philippines. The First division of General Gra ham's corps, which includes four Penn sylvania regiments, and is in command of General S. M. B. Young, will prob ably be ordered South early in October to move to Cuba for garrison duty. France and the Case of Dreyfus. To the American it is difficult to un derstand that the fate of the foremost repnblic of the old world should hang so emphatically on the revision of tbe court trial of an officer of the army. But while France is a republic, she is a republic of Europe, built upon Euro pean customs and practices, which _ means that in many respects France is not a repnbile, but a close corporation ruled by very narrow prejudices and tainted by a "survival of too much of the immediate past Were Dreyfus a convicted criminal in this country, with a proposition to reopen his case owing to the appearance of testimony that appeared likely to shed new and ju.it light on it, the courts would call the matter up and dispose of it, and it wonld be forgotten. But in France that same thing that Spain calls honor has a foothold. Dreyfus has been con victed by what is generally accepted now as untrustworthy testimony. To permit a new trial and show the falsity of the testimony is to show that French officials conniyed in the ruin of the un fortunate officer. That French figment of imagination called honor rebels at uncovering any rottenness in the army or in the government, and, with a per sistence in evading justice that the American cannot comprehend, even the President opposes the reopening of the case. The cabinet is divided, some of the members resigning, others insist ing upon a new triad for Dreyfus. The army is a force in France. It is not only a military organization, but is a social feature of the republic. It is powerfnl in politics. The question has narrowed to a tight h§tween French justice and the French army and in fluential leaders. The army and the government are on trial, in France the ] people who stand for justice will have ; little show, for justice means the dis closure of a condition that will threaten the army and the government. If the case of Dreyfus is pressed there [is ahead of France a very sensational time, j Pittsburg Times. _ War Department Items.

Judge Prouty. of the federal court at Tecumseh, Okla , was lynched by ne groes near his home a few nights ago. The negroes, numbering only ten, over took him on the public road alx/iit four miles out of town, bound him hand and foot, stripped him of his clothing and hanged him to a tree by the roadside, where his body was found on Monday by farmers. On the body was pinned a piece of paper upon which was scrawl ed: "Justice to Negroes". Several nights ago some cow boys came in Tecumseh and got drunk. As they were leaving town they passed Dave Fitch a negro. The cowboys be gan shooting at him and he returned the fire. All of them opened upon him and filled his body with bullets. No attempt was made to prosecute the murderers, and the negroes sent him a threat to lynch him unless be took im mediate action. The whites came to his rescue and told him to stand firm and they would frighten the negroes out cf the country. On Sunday a crowd of negroes rode out to Judge Prouty's home and left word that unless the cowboys were arrested they would avenge their comrade's murder by murder. The judge was in town and did not know of the visit. When he started home about 10 o'clock the negroes were notified and followed him. They came upon him and soon accomplished their purpose. The whites are in a state of terror, and are arming themselves, with the view of exterminating the negroes of that section. Died Without Friends. On last Saturday Morning Sam 1 Richardson, constable of East Frank lin township, found a man supposed to be John J. Smith, of Great Belt, Butler county, lying along the public road near the "watering trough above the Cliff Inn suffering intense aeony. When asked what the trouble was he said he was suffering from asthma of the heart and unless he got relief pretty soon he would die. The constable placed the man in a buggy and brought him to town and took him to 'Squire Brown's office. The constable's inten tion was to have the man committed to jail and then notify the jail physi cian. He was relieved of all this troub le however. a» the man died two min utes after being taken into the Justi ce's office. The only Ih ing iour\(\ upon him was a pass book containing name and a lot of figures. Coroner Stone was notified and after having the body taken to Colwell and Vosburgs under taking rooms, empanelled the follow ing jury; F. D. Henry, foreman. Dan 1. Stivason, Link Bush, James McMasters, A. S, Patterson and J. C. Reed. After hearing the testimony of persons who saw the man the night before and the morning of his death, and also the testi mony of Dr. McKee who held a post mortem over him, returned a verdict of death by neuralgia of the heart. Mr. Smith has a brother living at Great Belt, who was notified of his brothers deatb, but owing to his own illness was unable to get here. The undertaker held body until Sunday afternoon and receiving no further word from rela tions had the body interred in the Pot ters field on the cemetery at the expense of this bcrongh.—Kittaning Republican The Best Education, In a late address made by Charles R. Skinner, superintendent of public in struction of the state of New York, on ' The Best Education for the Masses" he said- "A little more than two cen turies ago Gov. Berkeley said of the conditions then existing in Virginia: 'I thank God there are no free schools nor printing presses, and I hope we shall not haye them these hundred years; for learning has brought disobe dience and heresy and sects into the world, and printing has divulged them, and libels against the best government. God keep ns from both.' "To-day as a nation we spend two hundred millions of dollars (*200,000,- 000) upon our free common schools. To-day the printing presses against which Berkeley uttered his phillipic furnish every year on an average, two weekly newspapers and a printed book for each family in our land, and a daily newspaper for every two families. The United States, to day the young est of all, is the only great nation of the world which expends more for educa tion than for war. France spends an nually $4 per capita on her army and 70 cents per capita on education: England, for army and cgnts for educa tion; Prussia, *2.04 for her aripy and 50 cents for education, Italy, *1.52 for her army, and 36 cents for education; Aus tria, *1.86 for her army and 63 cents for education; Russia $2.04 for her army and 3 cents for education; the United States, 39 cents for her army and *1 35 for education. Ensrland six to one for war! Russia seventeen to one for war! the United States four to one for educa tion! The United States spends more for education than England, France and Russia combined "Might alone has i:;a>li. the struggle for greatness and has failed. vV'ar with all its horrors has proved powerless to make nations groat.

A Street Railway. JlfJ- EDITOR: —The meeting in the Town Council nyjuis on last Tuesday evening disclosed the ILU.HI that i] good deal of feeling exists on the subject of hayjng street cars in Butler. The meeting was a special one of the Town Council and the citizens were invited to it and asked to give their views gn the general question as to whether or not we neudod and wanted a street railway system. To an observer there was no mistak ing that the general sentiment of those present was in favor of introducing street cars. This being the case, and the probability that some company may be given the right to take our streets for that purpose, throws upon the Town CqtjifCij a great responsibility as to the terms, the limitations and the restric tions of that grant or franchise. Th 1 town or the people rather, must be pro tected, not only now but in the here after. We have paved our streets, ex pended large sums in so doing, and are now greatly in debt, and the first ques tion that should be decided is, what ought aijy man or company to pay the town for'the privilege of tearing up and using the streets that hava COS* "s so much to make. This in our opinion should be a pretty large amount or bonus, to help pay off the debt created by the paying, etc., of our streets. After that a small year!;' sum might be provided for. But it would be nothing more than right —and very advisable that the people of the town who have been and are yet paying heavj taxes for the street improvements made should haye something paid back before giving away tlitd; - fi;ll control oyer our streets, and the Council wilj certainly bp on their guard, not only as to that, but as to all other points in tbe matter, as to terms, that may be prudent. While the majority favor progress and NEKiHBOKHOOI* NO ! I;.N. Geo. K. Waters a young Pittsburg attorney, son of .T. 0- Waters, formerly of Bntler. disappeared from Parkers burg W. Va. last Saturday, and it was feared that he has been drowned or mur dered. Mr Waters' disappearance caused caused great anxiety among his friends in Pittsburg and they used every endeavor to locate him. He studied law in Pittsburg and has been connected with the firm of Lee & Chapman, attor neys. with offices in the St. Nicholas building. For several weeks past he has lieen visiting in < >hio, accompanied by his wife. Friday he went to Park- ersburg intending to go from there to a point near Marietta. He has not been in good health and Mrs. Waters accom panied him to Parkersburg. From there Mr. Waters took a train on the West Virginia side of the < >hio river, getting off about tive miles below Marietta. He intended to take a skiff to the Ohio side. By this means he would save a trip to Marietta. When Mr. Waters left the train he went in search of .a Ixjat, having been directed where to find one. Since that time nothing has been heard of him. His tody was found in the river be low the dam next day. There is no ex planation of how he came to meet his death in the river, and the friends of family have been unable to discover anyone who saw him on the river. The most reasonable explanation is that he attempted to cross the river from the West Virginia side to Marietta island on a wing dam. over which the water was running in places, and that he slipped from one of these places into the swift current below. There is no suspicion of foul play as his watch, money and other valuables were found on I he body. Detectives are hard at work trying to locate the murderers of George Carter, who was shot and instantly killed some weeks ago, while sitting in a room at his home near Oil City. They lately arrested Walter Weatson. ot Green ville. charged him with stealing a shot gun, and it is intimated that the arrest may thow some light on the tragedy, as the gun was stolen from a Mr. An derson, residing near where the mur der was committed, and only a few days prior to that time. Peter Schemm, a millionaire banker arid brewer of Philadelphia, committed suicide by jumping into Niagara River just above the Falls, and being swept over.

The lively little snappers tore all the feathers off their foster mother's breast. Every indication points to the burn ing of the beautiful Hotel Xeshannock at Xeshannock Falls as the work of an incendiary, and that it was probably done to cover up a big robbery. About 4 o'clock Monday morning Gen. W. A. Clark was awakened by hearing some one at an upstairs window, and saw someone running down the hall. At breakfast the discovery was made that the entire upper part of the hotel was in itamea The loss is about $2Q,000; in sured The night before a $5,000 incen diary fire occured within two miles of the hotel. A horrible accident occured a few days ago at the Sharon Iron Works. Mr, W. T. Ward, roller on the plate mill and one of the most prominent residents of the place, having his throat cut by falling on a piece of sheet iron. He had placed the sheet between two bars in order to straighten it and in some manner it slipped out and turned upward, the unfor f unate man fall ing on the sharp, ragged edge, his wind pipe, jugalar vein and several small arteries being completely severed. Mr. T. J. Hobbins, who was near at the time of the accident, wrapped a towel around the gastly wounds, and assisted Mr. Ward into the company's office. Medical aid was summoned but he expired about half an hour after ward. A few days ago a party of young: peo ple were out sailing in Erie bay, on the yacht Carmeucita. xY sudden puff of wind jibed or swung round the sail. Seated on the roof of the yacht's cabin were Mary, Delia and Ella Paradine, daughters of William Paradine, an Erie machinest. and Jessie Moore daughter of John H. Moore, an engin eer. All four girls were swept off into the water and drowned. Twelve years ago, when Charles White ran a hotel in a neighboring town, a peculiar and valuable gold ring was stolen from bis wife. He is now a conductor on the street cars at James town. and Tuesday, when a woman handed him her fare, he noticed the lost ring on her finger. He had her arrested and recovered the property. Although he did not know her. she proved to be a woman who worked at the hotel at the time the ring was stolen. flaeksville Notes, The fall crops are about all sown, in this localitv, and farmers are wishing for rain, not long since it was -'too wet."
