Muster Them Out.
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

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

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

Lynched a Judge.
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

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

Li HUNO CII4KO has been dismissed
from the office of Minister of Foreign

that, should there be a sufficiently pro
tracted spell of wet weather, he may
come to want in his old days. The
trouble with Li seems to be tint he has
been serving Russia more faithfully
than he has served his own country,
and the Kmperor of China has began to

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.

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

gun, and it is intimated that the arrest
may thow some light on the tragedy,
as the gun was stolen from a Mr. An

der was committed, and only a few days
prior to that time.

Every indication points to the burn
ing of the beautiful Hotel Xeshannock
at Xeshannock Falls as the work of an

done to cover up a big robbery. About

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

some manner it slipped out and turned
upward, the unfor f unate man fall

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

he expired about half an hour after

have discovered that there are other inter
esting features about the Kxpositinn this

seem rather tame and lifeless This year
the management has exceeded all its
