McGarvey, one of our nominees for County Commissioner, is a progress ive farmer, responsible man, and is in every way well qualified for the office for which he has been nominated, an d to which he will be elected next Tues dav. He began life as a school teacher, served with the 134 th infantry and the 14th cavalry during the civil war, has resided on a farm in Mercer twp. for the past twenty-three years, has held several local offices, and is now one the trustees of Grove City College - * John W.

During the war he served in the Hea vy Artillery, and since then has resided in Middlesex twp. and was postmaster at "Flick" office for thirteen years. Of late years he has been afflicted with rheumatism, and could not make a close canvass of the county last Spring but the people had confidence in him, and remembered him and voted for him; and they will not be disappointed. Thomas R. Hoon or "Tommy" Hoon as he is generally called, though he is now well up in years, our candidate for Sheriff, has a grip like a vise, and any prisoner that he gets hold of with that light paw of his will either stay right there, or run off with the Sheriff attached. Mr. Hoon was born in Centre town ship. nearly 04 years ago. began life as a teamster; served during the civil war in the 137 th and <>7th and was at the wind-up at Appomattox: and has since lived on a farm in Centre township. He has held several township offices and will step into the Sheriff's office of Butler county on Monday, January Ist, 1900. I IblS I ■ I K] William J. Adams. W. J. Adams performed the remark able feat of securing a second nomina tion for the office of Register and Re corder last Spring for the first time within our recollection. " Billy" is a hustler from Washington township, and the man who gets ahead of him must get up very early in the morning. He has filled the office acceptably, and will continue in it for three years fore. Daniel L. Rankiu. D. L. Rankin, our candidate for County Treasurer, passed his younger days in Allegheny and Fairview town ships. He had just attained his majori ty when the civil war begun, and en listed as a member of Co. 8., 103 d reg. and was in active service during the en tire war. excepting nine months which he spent in Andersonville and other Southern prison pens. After the war he lived on a farm in Fairview town ship. until a few years ago, when he re moved to Butler. He is a quiet, sensi ble man, inclined to be a little joky, but he'll take good care of the county taxes. James 31. McCollougli. J. M. McCollough, the nominee for Prothononotary, is one of the numerous family of that name in Fairview town ship. He is a progressive fanner, and has taken an active interest in the politics of the county and state for some yeprs.

"Pup" has made a good Coroner, and we a>e willing he should hold his office for life. SEE that there is no "-t ,*y -at-home ' Reput !i ■ aexl Tuesday. Hki.E.V Col"NO has gone after Con gressman-elect Brigham Roberts of I'tah with a hot stick and if he takes and keeps h'n seat in Congress it won't be because Miss Goal 1 did not try to pre vent i I Sii< bus started a movement to have every minister in America present a petition to his congregation for signers protesting against Mr. Roberts' being seated. These petitions are then to be forwarded to Congress THE dailies of last Friday morning devoted a column or two to the details I of the will of the late Cornelius Van- J derbilt of New York, who leaves his son Albert about a hundred million and his other children seven and a half mil lions each, excepting one who got but one and a half millions for not marrying to please his parents. WITH the bottle and plate glass works, planing and grist mills, and every machine shop and fonndry in t >wn running full time, a hundred men at work putting np the new lead wrrks, a hundred more at the County Home, twenty-five at filling in the Bessemer railroad trestle, and two oil wells drill ling practically within the city limit#, there is more work going on in Butler at present than at any other time in the town's history. Butler's dullest days are over. \Vith gas, waterand railr- ad facilities unexcelled by any other town within a hundred miles, prosperity is sure. Four years ago onr advant ages were practically the same, but business was at a standstill and Butler s business death was predicted on all sides. Is there anj*tliing in this to in fluence the local electors in casting their ballots next Tuesday.November 7? Four years ago under a Democratic ad ministration our town was dead. To day under a Republican administration, and hampered with a war at that, everybody is busy here,as in every other part of the country. Vote for a con tinuation of good times, which means the straight Republican ticket LET every Republican do his share— vote the straight Republican ticket. WE think we have some politics in Pennsylvania, but ours is a small dose | compared to what the people of Ohio are getting. The reason is in our tremendous Re publican majority, while Ohio is liable to go either way, and the returns from | that State will probably be scrutinized ! by the Nation closer than those of any ! other state in the Union. .Judge Nash is the Republican candidate for Govern or, and John li. McLean the Democrat ic: while Mayor Jones of Toledo be,-ids an independent ticket. The canvass has been conducted on National issues, and the result will have an influence on the National nom inations, next year. Next after Ohio the most interesting fight is in Kentucky where the Demo crats are trying to get rid of their state boss, ft Pennsylvania dutchman named Goebel, who has been ruling their par ty with a rod of iron. Mitchell's Acceptance. Judge Mitchell of Tioga county wrote Chairman Reeder his letter of accept ance of his nomination for Superior Judge, Monday, and in the letter says: "I am a radical Republican and so long as my party adheres to its funda mental principles I shall stand stead fastly by it at the polls when ever their supremacy in the State or the Nation is at stake." I regard this as a conscien tious duty; for a false ballot in such a case is an insult upon the integrity of popular government. Therefore,l have never voted for any but Republican-; for any office the administration o: which affected our public policy. Bit I haye pronounced and well-known views in respect to party control aid public administration, and I adhere to them, because I believe them wise and proper for the promotion of the public welfare." MAKE it a point that every Repuoli can in your district goes to the polls next Tuesday. Middletown. Came to the home of J. N. Patton on Sunday night a fine bouncing boy. G. W. Moser's condition remains un changed. Republican Committeemen are strain ing every energy to bring out a full vote on next Tuesday. No dissension is heard in the ranks and we expect a 1.-irm vnU to "»ist for the reguhir nominees. Mr. F. Hilliard, of Isle, was the guett of J. H. Thompson over Sunday. Miss Delia Thompson, of Pittsburg, is visiting her parents. Mr. and Mrs. John Thompson. Perry Hillard, who was on the sick list for a few days, is able to be around again. D A man in hand is preferable to a number in the bush. James Thompson attended the sale of wild horses at Young Brothers' near West Snnburg last week and purchased a pair of yery fine ponies. E. U. Cumberland met with a serious accident on last Friday while handling a young l»rse. The animal began to plunge and rear and in some way struck Mr. Cumberland a blow that dislocated one of his knees. The wound is very | painful and it will be some time before it will be healed. The CITIZEN has a larger circulation here than any other county paper.

SILtX. Clinton Township. A raid was made upon the cellars of the farmers living along the head waters of Bull creek, in Clinton town ship. last week. The thief took a big supply of canned fruit, pork, bread and butter, eggs, jellies, cream. &c.. and to ease his guilty conscience took a good stock of tobacco from Mr. Mabaffey, and a fine horse blanket to cover up and ' | hide from view his stolen plunder or his shame, and after diving into ten cellars in his route disappeared as lays teriously as he came. He surely had a full load of all the delicacies the moit fastidious epicure conld desire. The dogs all seem to have been hypnotized as there was none to molest, or make | him afraid. Farmers have rounded up the fall work and are down to the topping of turnips. Geo. W. Hays, Jr., and wife, have re turned to Youngstown after spending j few weeks at the old home.

Symona of the British Anny, who was shot in the 1 stomach at the battle of Ulencoe diet! at Dundee, a prisoner of the Boers, whose General sent word of his death to the English General. Gen. Symons' tight at Gleneoe was not anything like the decisive victor)' at first alleged, and Gen. Yule would in all probability have been annihilated or have met with the same fate as the cap- , inred Hussars if he had not retreated, lien White's "artillery duel ' at Riet fonlein was a very severe engagement. ' in which the rifle did great execution . and in which success was only achieved i at a distressing cost. The bombard 1 ment of Mafeking had commenced, with 1 unknown result, and the Boers had got 1 their Hussar prisoners safely to Pretoria. 1 The campaign is being pushed by the 1 Boers so strenuously and on such sound i strategical lines that the situation of ' the British gave them cause for deep anxiety. It was difficult to see how the concentrated force at Ladvsmith will be able to take the aggressive immediately. Apart from the fatigue, regiments like the Gordon Highlanders and Royal Ri fles have been practically without offi cers since the tights, and a hundred and thirty-five additional officers have been ordered to leave England as speedily as possible. Orders were issued for an ad ditional 5,000 troops to sail for South Africa between November 4and Novem ber 18. A dispatch sent from Glencoe camp on the night of the battle in that vicinity admits that few Boer dead ami wound- j ed were found on the field, and explains | this by saying: "Throughout the fight j the Boers, in accordance with their j custom, buried their dead and car ried off their wounded immediately af ter they fell, those left representing on ly the casualties during the last mo ments of the fighting. Even their dis abled cannon had been removed, al-' though broken pieces of them could be j seen lying about." The official announcement of the join- j ing of Gen. White and Gen. Yule came , as a great relief, in view of the fact that j only the incapacity of the intelligence | department ot the Boers saved Gen. Yule's column from a great disaster. On Friday night Dundee was full Df alarms. Heavy firing was heard at t o'clock and again at 4. A severe thun derstorm soon aftc stopped the Boer cannonade. Satnrday-passedin momen tary expectation of an attack. The British finally evacuated, taking all that they could, but leaving plenty be hind for the Boers to loot. Gen. Yule's column had a very ex hausting inarch, chiefly by night, for fear of Boer surprises. The heavy rains and mist hampered the march, but were the means of saving Gen. Yule from molestation. It took the column '-'t hours to cover the last 16 miles. The Boers say that Gen. Kock during the battle read "his Bible and prayed for victory. His brother two sons and a nephew were all wounded and taken prisoners. Col. Schiel. of the German corps, and Commandant Pretorius were severely wounded:,- Many prominent Boers are not yet accounted for, Philip Kceh says the Boe'rs suffered most from "soldiers in little clothes, half men and women' meaning the Gordon Highland ers, and in the charge of the Fifth Lan cers. Col. Schiel assured a correspond ent that nothing could stand against the accuracy of the British field guns, which repeatedly drove the Transvaal gunners from their embrasures. The British infantry fire was also, he said, a complete surprise to the Boers, who were confident of their ability to master any infantry attack. On Friday hard fighting was reported near Kiinberely; the Boers had the town surrounded, and were anxious to cap ture Cecil Rhodes whom they considei lure rtuoues WIJIHII i ut'y cousiut-i their worst enemy. By Sunday the Boers had Ladysmith partly surrounded and were mounting on the neighboring hills. The Boer forces were reported at 17,000 and the English at 12,000. On Monday the English made a sortie from Ladysmith and attempted to dis lodge the Boers lroni their position, but appear to have been driven back, with the loss of a battery. A report by way of Holland said the whole British r.rmv i j ....jct-u, iveintoicements were being hurried to Gen. White at Lady smith. A sortie from Mafekiug, on the west border, was also reported. On Monday, Gen. White, sent two regiments to take position on the hills to the left to Ladysmith,the Boers drew them on by retreating, and then closed in on them and killed or captured them all. Nineteen officers were killed and forty-two made prisoners, and about 2000 men were taken, besides a raoun tain battel v. The disaster was reported Tuesday afternoon and threw London into dis may, and in Gloucestershire and the North of Ireland, where the captured regiments were recruited, the blackest gloom prevails, families awaiting with beating hearts the names of the killed and wounded, which are fully expected to reach a high figure. Many homes are already in mourning in consequence of the losses sustained by those regi ments in previous engagements. Gen. White assumed all blame for the disaster. The Boers reoccnpied the hills around Ladysmith and a battle was reported to be in progress.Tuesday. North Washington. Mrs. Charlie Falwell has been on the sick list for the past week.

Abont 10 ; o'clock that night he called upon his j neighbors for assistance, announcing , the serious illness of his wife. He de-; laved sending for a doctor, who arrived | after the wife's death.
