F>»r Jnry Commissioner. JOHN G CHRISTY. The l'ast, Present ami Future. It is one of the common attributes of mankind to at a certain period stop and lookback "to see how far we have come;" to contemplate the progress we have made an<l victories won, and to consider our errors and defeats. To heartened and inspired to futnre effort by the former: cautioned and instructed by the latter. It has also, from th« earliest times, been the desire of men tc leave behind them some memorial whereby to perjH-tuate their names ami achievements. As these things are tme of the indi vidual, so are they of the associated l>odies into which man. being a grega rious creature, incoriH)rates himself foi ' the purpose of successfully conducting the affairs of human society, and th< complicated affairs of civic life. Thus it is that the consummation of the first hundred years in the existence of such of our i>olitieal divisions as have reached that period (towns, counties, cities, state or Nation) has been made the occasion of extraordinary exhibi tions of public spirit, enthusiasm, jubila tion and display. And this is right. It is natural. It is not only a pleasure and a privi lege to thus give full expression to our sentiments on such an occasion, but it is a duty which we owe to our forefatli ers and. to posterity. We should be derelict in our duty to 1 hose who have gone before, to whom we owe much of what is today ours, did we fail to fit tingly commemorate the worK of those earnest-hearted pioneers: and we also owe it to posterity to, at this time,make adequate record of our progress in th. past and a full exhibit of our present condition and attainments. Project yourself forward, in imagination, hundred years and consider with what avidity your descendants and successors will seize npon such a record as will be contained in the story of our first Cen tennial celebration. It is in the light of such considera tions that we must now act. The Cause of The Trouble. ' Col M. S. Uuay, Gov. William Stone, Lieut. Col JamesE. Barnett and a numlier of other Quay politicians,held H conference yesterday at the Duquesn. hotel. The main object was to devw ways and means to defeat Acheson for Congress in Washing 01 county next Saturday. Pittsburg tx change. This clipping reveals the cause of the troubles that arise in our party the nn warranted interference by outsiders 11 our local affairs. What business hiu Gov. Stone. Col. Quay or any outsidei to interfere with affairs in Washingtor county'! If Gov. Stone would attend I his duties as governor, he would hav* enough to keep him busy, and besides that the people did not commission bin to use the influence of his office to hell defeat Mr. Acheson for Congress, or t( interfere in any of our elections. Hi< same way when Col. Quay was Senator there could hardly I*) an election in am county in the State without his havint a supervision over it, and this is wbai has led to so much discord in our party If our Governors, our Senators, am other officials would attend to the dutief of the offices to which they are electee and let the Republicans of the conntie conduct their primary elections in then own way, when elections are over, th» people will be satisfied. But this inter ference by public officers, and gn at corporations like the Standard ( " Company and the Sugar Trust, leads tc the dissatisfaction in our ranks am. makes a nomination scarcely worth having. It must be stopped or ther< will be a revolt against it. LAST year the valley of the Brazos river in Texas was flooded and there was a great loss of life and property . this year it is the valley of the Colorado river, on which the capital of the state. , Austin, is located. Their big two-mil lion dollar darn and water works was destroyed last week, and 17 people were drowned. ' THIS AFRICAN WAR. On Thursday of last week (ten. Rob erts reported to the British war office the capture of five companies, three of the Irish Fnsilliers and twoof the Ninth Regiment, at Bethany station, on the railroad aliout forty miles sonth of Bloemfontem. The five companies were surrounded by a superior force of Boers aud compelled tc surrender. The affair indicates that Gen. Rol>erts will have to leave all his southern communi cations heavily guarded before he ad vances northward from Bloemfcntein. On Tuesday a battle was reported as having lieen fought near Meerkatfon tein, which resulted in the defeat of the British with a loss of 000 killed and wounded, and 800 captured. During the day the British transpoit containing prisoners arrived at the island of St. Helena. Marx. Esther Cashdollar. aged 1!>, daughter of G. I). and Sarah Cashdollar, died in Scio on Monday. Interrment at Old Union U. P- church on Tuesday. Mr. Pel ton and family, of Allegheny, spent Sunday with Mr. Redic. Mrs. W. Link and daughter were vistors to Pittsburg on Monday. Mr. Walters set up a v<-ry fine monu ment for Allie Gilkey on Monday. The funeral of Sarah File was held at the M E. church on Friday. This is the third death in the family since Thanksgiving. The Congregation of the l". I*. church held a meeting oti Monday and decided to increase the salary of the Pastor, I). W. Berry, to twelve hundred dollars. Bread en Campt»ell, of West Sunbnry, has started a store in the Opera House building. Mrs Dr. Barber is on «be sick list. Mr. John Balfour has returned from a trip to Harrisbnrg. Miss Staples, of Callery, has return •! to her home after spending several weeks with friends in Mars. The funeral of < ieo. Hilderbrand \\a hel<l in the U. I'. church on Sunday at p. m. Rev. Berry was aisisteil by Revs. Wilson and Foy. The little boy was sick nearly all winter, and lx>re lii suffering very patiently, llis parents have the sympathy of many friends in their bereavement. The question of moving the M K. church from its present location, to tht more central part of town is being tal e l of Mr. and Mrs. Dinsnmre of Connelt ville are visiting Gto. Cnpps. POLITICAL Of the Republican primary elections held in Western Pennsylvania last Sat nrday, that in Westmoreland Co. was the most interesting, and the connty was carried by the Quayites by a small majority. The result in the connty was changed by the vote in the coke region and the plate glass town of Ar nold, on the Allegheny river, opposite Tareutnm. where the price is said to have been $lO a head, which is abont donble what was paid in Butler, and if the Charleroi operatives are smart, next Saturday, at the Washington Co. prim ary they can get a month's wages out of the thing. The County Convention was held Tuesday in Greensburg, and the Quay ites secured control of it by a vote of 148 to 105, and passed a resolution en dorsing Quay and instructing the nom inees for State Senate and Assembly to enter the caucus and abide bv its decis ion. State Treasurer Beacom led the fight for the Qnayites and is one of the nominees for Assembly. The official figures nominate the Quay candidate for State Senate, and three Quayitei and one Republican for As sembly; while Seanor. the anti-Quay candidate for Congress polled 8.095 of the 13,000 votes polled. Centre county Republicans nominat ed two candidates for Assembly and three candidates for the State conven- tion after a hard fight with the Quay ites. The}- nominate by the delegate system there and the vote on the oppos ing sides was 4Hi and 45 to 37 and 33}. The leaders of the opposing factions ex Gov. Hastings and P. E. Woruielsdorf entered the Convention as delegates,ami there was one fuss after another in the hall: and after the Convention the Qnayites got together and elected op posing delegates to the State Conven tion. In Warren county the Antis had everything their own way, carrying the county by a majority of 1,700 and de feating Parahall the Qnayite for reelec tion to the assembly; while in McKean Co. the Qnayites carried everything, and nominated Sibley for Congress over a home candidate by I,I'MJ majority. In Venango Co. one Quay man, Cor rin.and one unpledged man. Emery, are the nominees for Assembly, while Sibley had everything his own way for Con gress. In Luzerne Co. the Amis carried four of the six legislative districts, and re nominated Corav, an anti-Quay mem ber of the last legislature. Coray made a speech saying—' I don't know any boss down at Harrisburg. My masters are the people of the Second district. I stand for my record and am uncompro misingly aga'.nst treasury looting. I hold there is no higher duty than to stand by the people and my record." In Greene Co. Acheson secured a majority of the Congressional Conven tion. Bedford Co. nominated Qnayites, as did also gome of the Democratic coun ties. Dewey thinks he is a Democrat, and announces himself a candidate for Prei dent. He was in Phil's, Friday, con ferring with politicians. At Harrisburg, last Thursday, the Penn'a Democrats nominated a state ticket P. G. Meek of Centre Co. for Auditor Gen'l; and N. M. Edwards r>f Lycoming and H. E. Grimm of Bucks for Congressmen at large. Senator Galinger, of New Hampshire, in a speech of al*>ut three-quarters of an hour's duration last Thursday, showed conclusively that the governor of Penn sylvania had violated the constitution of the United States by appointing Matthew Stanley Quay to a seat in the Senate when the Legislature failed to elect his successor, although in session after the vacancy occurred. The sen ator contended that it was the plain duty of Gov. Stone to have called the Legislature in extra session after no selection had l>een made. On Friday, Senator Sullivan of Mississippi, Demo crat. spoke for Quay. Now that the Democratic convention hall in Kansas City has burned down the party should build a new platform. WASHINGTON NOTES. On Monday the yuay case in the Sen ate was again put off with the under standing that it was to be taken up on Tuesday the 24th. On Tuesday the Senate Committee on Elections unanimously decided to de clare the seat claimed by Clark,of Mon tana. to be vacant. No doubt the Sen ate will concur in tin report. This is equivalent to a decision that a seat in the Senate cannot bo purchased in open market at least not by any except fav ored politicians. Henry A. Ritner was appointed P. M. for Bruin. LAST week the Boers were agam on Lord Roberts' track this time his rail road track. 40 miles south. Saxonlnirg anil Vicinity.

Gaucher, Esq. Secretary. The matter of the scope or extent "f the Invitations to lie given was discuss ed and resulted in the appointment of a committee of three, consisting of James X. Moore. Esq.. James M. Galbreath, Esq., and Mr. John Findley, to prepare a letter and send same to the different parts of -the county, to ascertain the former citizens of Bntler county now liviug in other parts of the country who should receive invitations. Capt. Geo. W. Fleeger and T. C. Campbell. Esq.. were appointed a com mittee to Suggest the subjects for the speakers or persons to make addresses at the celebration. A committee of three was appointed to look after this I matter and make report as to same. The committee will meet again at the call of the chairman. The Executive Committee of the Cen ; tennial will have another meeting at j the office of its Chairman on Friday i evening coming 13th inst. Great interest is taken all over the county in the matter of relics and the people of the different townships and towns seem to be vying with each other as to which can bring to the Centennial the largest and best collection of old and interesting relics. As an instance we have learned of one person who proposes bringing a table cloth that Washington ate dinner upon in passing through this county about 150 years ago. Another one will have parts at least of an entirely wood en plow, used of necessity by some of our early first settlers. Many other ar ticles of rpre interest will lie brought. The Finance Committee is making progress in the matter of securing the ne< -essary funds for the celebration near ly SISOO are now subscribed in this town alone. The books sent out through the county have not as yet been returned, but reports from many are that subscrip tions throughout the county will be as equally liberal as here. As soon as completed a list of the names of all of the subscribers to the Centennial fund will be published. This may be in a week or two. >1 uldletowii.

Curry has left the employ of McGill & Co. will locate in the Greece City field where he has secured a good job. Adam Cnrrie was in Ellwood last week disposing of his interests in coal lands in Cherry twp. Our new Supervisors are busily en gaged in making needed repairs <m the roads. We feel justified in saying that our township turns oat the most effi cient "pathmasters" of any twp. in this county. Besides our constable is not derelict in the discharge of his duties in regard to the roads. Speaking of relics, an enterprising M. D. not 20 miles away says that he liars a pair of pants in his possession so old that they are covered with whiskers. John Cumberland, Jr. is somewhat indisposed with an attack of muscular rheumatism. Miss Carrie Bell is slowly recovering a severe attack of diptheria which pros trated her in the early part of the win ter. Rev.

FINDLEY, Telephone 230. Tno Butler High School. (Extract from Prof. Gibson's report to the State Sup'd'tSchaeffer.) The growth of onr high school con tinues. Both the average monthly enrollment and the graduating class were the largest in the history of the school, the latter numliering thirty seven. The school board has under consideration the addition of a commer cial course to the high school curricu lum. If this contemplated step should i>e taken the new course will l»e made largely a specialty for the last year, and pupils' in this department will be re quired to pursue the main portion of the present curriculum. It is hoped that in this way the culture value of tlie high school work w ill not be impair ed and that at the same time those who may iv>t be able to pursue their educa tion in higher institutions may have the opportunity of acquiring that which may be of more direct value in earning a livelihood. Since we have semi-annual promo tions in all the grades below the high school, we are confronted with the prob lem as to how often pupils shall be ad mitted to the high 3chool. Admission lx>th at the beginning and at the mid dle of the year seems to be the only logical solution so long as the system of semi-annual promotions is continued. And the value of this system of promo tions in our schools seems to be proven beyond question'by the large percent age of our pupils who are capable of doing but one step in a school year, and who consequently would accomplish nothing satisfactorily if the steps were so long as annual promotions would re quire that they should l>e. The compulsory attendance law has not given us satisfoctory results. The law is very defective to say the least. The professional zeal and untiring in dustry of our teachers, the progressive spirit an<l liberality of our school l>oard. j and the loyalty and enthusiasm of the j general public in behalf of onr schools j are most encouraging features of our work. With such conditions as these we are looking forward to bright pros pects in the future. Harmony ami Zelienople. Frank Kellar of Harmony made a business trip to Olean N. Y., the latter part of last week. Elmer Schon'z of Harmony Jet. fell from a load of corn fodder last Friday and was severely bruised. While he was fastening the binding pole on the rear of the load the pole broke and lie fell head first and with part of the pole in his hand saved him breaking bis neck. He is getting well. Win. Stamm a farmer living at Har mony Jet. returned last Friday from a trip to New Betfcleham, Clarion county and brought with him some blooded Red Polled stock for breeding. Rev. Kribbs, superintendent of the Orphans Home at Zelieno* le with his wife were Pittsburg visitors on Thurs day of last week. Mr. and Mrs. Harry Walker of the John Herr oil farm near Harmony were liutler visitors 011 Sunday. The different churches of our two towns will observe Easter with special services. A forest fire was raging one mile south of Harmony on Sunday afternoon. The great cloud of smoke attracted the attention of people for miles. The local general committee of the iiext county Sundav School Convention met in the Presbyterion church 011 Moil day and staited the hall of preparation rolling. The convention date is June 7th and Nth 190(1. The district schools are beginning to celebrate their "last days." Zelienople has :S5 and Harmony 23 re tail venders this year according to the mercantile report. If expansion does not permeate our very being, we are swell headed. Fred Peffer and family of Elwood visited relatives at Harmony on Sunday. Prof. J. C. Dight of Zelienoplc was at Evans City last Saturday and called or. Ira M. Graham who is in very poor health at present. The Harmony Milling Co. is closing the contract thi> week for rebuilding a mill on the old mill site at Harmony.

Ulrich Winter of Harmony Jet will commence repairing histlonr mill short ly. He will expend about $3,000 in new machinery and repairing. Last fall A. Latshaw of Harmony covered a rose bush in his yard with an overcoat well worn. The coat however did not protect the plant long, it disap peared one night. Last Sunday morn ing Mr. Latshaw was surprised when he saw his coat hanging on the rose, bush again not much the worse for a winter's wear by some unknown one who no doubt in "ded it, and brought it back again for the winds from the Southland | prevail. John Kloffenstein of Harmony and Miss Etta (Jrant of Parkersbnrg W.
