Con gressman Showalter was made the Re publican nominee of the district for a third term—unexpectedly to himself and everybody else. He favored Brown of New Castle and time and again during the conference at Beaver, and that afternoon, had thirteen of the Butler county delegation voted for Brown. Th<- second choice of the Mercer county delegation, on the other hand was Cun ningham o2 Beaver, and when they saw that neither their own man Robinson < nor Cunningham could be nominated, they determined to beat Brown, whom they accused of buying two of their men. and to nominate Showalter And so on the 99th ballot, wuit-b was the fifth taken at the evening session, and after Lawrence Co. had cast 13 votes for Showalter. 13 of the Mercer county delegation voted for him, Butler came next with 15. and this gave him 41 votes and nominated him. The nom ination was made unanimous, though the Beaver people seemed to be greatly disappointed The convention met in the Elks Lall, that afternoon and took 21 ballotts, which with the 70 taken at Beaver made 91; and then adjourned for supper. The delegates were mostly young men: but there was one very old delegate —J. M. Lawrence of Lawrence county, aged 94 years, and very delicate—and the other delegates wondered that he could stand the hot and stuffy at mosphere of the crowded hall. All the applicants for the Butler P. O. or close friends for them were present watching the course of events. We congratulate t'-ie Doctor upon his phenomenal success in politics—the first thing Butler county knows, it will have a candidate for President. If AKIUHBI KG. At the last session of the Legislature two joint resolutions were passed pro posing amendments to the state Consti tution, looking forward to the enact ment of tetter and more stringent elec . tion laws. Gov. Stone claimed the right to veto and did ao. His right was disputed and the Dauphin Co. Court sustained him; bnt, on Tues<lay of this week, the State Su preme Court, sitting in Harrisbnrg, made a decision reversing the Dauphin Co. Court, and directing the Secretary of the Commonwealth to publish the proposed Amendments three months be fore the next general election. "The people will not vote on the pro posed amendments at the coming elec tion. but will elect members of the next Legislature at that time with knowledge that that body will pass again upon the question of submitting the amendments to popular vote. This is the reason for requiring publication of t.h<- amend ments this year. If the next legisla ture approves of the submission of the amendments, the vote npon them by the people will then be had at a special elec tion be fixed by the Legislature." Ine Pittsburg Times comments on the matter as follows. "The decision of the State Supreme court yesterday in the matter of the veto of the joint resolutions of the Legis lature submitting the proposed ballot reform amendments to the constitution, ti> the vote of the people, is a crushing rebuke to Gov. Stone. The Supreme court not only reversed the absnrb de dUcn of the Danphin county court sus taining his action, bnt it went fnrther and Look measures to prevent that ac tum having any more evil effects in de laying matters by providing that the amendment should lie published three months before the next general election. This action of the State's highest tri bunal portrays to the world Pennsylva nia's law defying and constitution-break ing chief excutlve in a moat humiliat ing light. But he has only himself, and those wh'ste bidding he has chosen to make his guide in lieu of the tilainman dates of the organic law, to blame for his humiliation. The plain letter of the constitution,as well as uniform precedent.made it clear to even the most ordinary mind that he had no right to veto the action of the Legislature in this matter, but he chose to ignore the fundamental law and the oath h<j took to support it, in order to thwart what be considered an attempt to secure honest elections. In doing this his sole object was to further the deaigns of the faction whose interests be has steadily sought to serve, instead of those of the Republican party and the people of the State generally, and it is not strange that lie has come to grief."

On Thursday last one column of Rob ert's army crossed the Vaal river at a point called I'arys, and the rest of the aiuiy exacted to Is; over by Sunday, which would begin the campaign in the Transvaal. Gen. Bullers army was advancing through the mountains to the south east, and Gen.

The different Collectors of the town ships and boroughs for the Centennial, fund will please return their books and money at once, as per instructions in the books. One of the most interesting relics on exhibition is the stone that was above the door of the first Court House of But ler county, with the figures 1807, upon it. being the year the first Court House was built. It can te seen in Trout man's window. In the window of the store of Jacob Boos can te seen a surveyor s compass, made in London, and used by the late John Negley. for many years during his life; also a surveyor's chain of the old kind used by him in surveying lands. The chain is entire but the compass is broken. Captain "Jack" Adams, who was the engineer of the first railroad train that entered Butler will te here at the Cen tennial. He brought in the first train on the West Penn road, teing the first to enter the town. January 12, 1871. A week from next Tuesday and the Centennial of Butler county will open. Everything gives promise of immense numfs-rs teing in attendance. If it were not that there are f > te three days of the celebration and that people will divide, and some come upon one day and some upon another, we might well fear Butler could not contain all said to Is; corning But all our people will do their test to make all others comfort able. The show windows of our stores are teing filled up with relics, and the Committee on relics are seeing after them, and will see they are safely cared for. The Parade Committee has held meet ings and made arrangements for well conducted parad<-s on all three days. The day parades will te nnder direction of general Parade Committee and the evening ones nnder that of Amuse ment Committee. The fire works and amusements teing prepared bv the Amneement Committee it is said will exceed anything of the kind ever had in Butler. The tnnsic also will be fine, the very best. Besides the Germania Band of Butler the Prospect Band, which is said to be a very good one, has been secured and will be here. The Music Commit tee has been active in securing all the mnsic. of every kind possible, to take part at the Centennial. Stands for the music and for the s|«eaking have been erected on the Dia mond Square, and the wood work for a large arch is op on the street in front of the Court House. A row of seats will be run around the square for the con venience of visitors If the weather proves favorable all apjs-arances indicate a successful cele bration of the Centennial year of Butler county.

Following is a brief report taken from the facts and sent the State Su perintendent. for the school year ending May 81. 1900. This being my first annual n-port of the schools of this county I can not just say what the progress has been this in comparison with that of other years, but from the many warm congratula tions received from directors, parents, teachers aud pupils. I can say I am very highly pleased with the work of the schools during the past year I held 15 regular examinations for teachers in which about 450 applicants entered 262 of whom received provisi< >ll - certificates, 149 trrades and the re mainder dropped out of the examin ation before it was over In selecting mv questions I tried to rise such as were fair, comprehensive and taken from the work being done in the schools of our county. The manuscripts are all on file in my office and each applicant had the privi lege of coming in and seeing his papers after thev had been marked. On March 31st examinations for di plomat were held in 25 different places :n the county, in which 240 pupils en tered. 163 of whom passed the required marks an average of 75 per cent, and no mark below 60 per cent and have been granted diplomas. I want to say just here that the neces sity of refusing either a certificate or a diploma to all who apply for same is not a pleasant task, but in justice to the schools over which I am placed and in justice to the oath of office I hav© taken this unpleasant work must in some, cases be done. We now have in the county 24* school buildings, 296 school rooms. 19 graded schools, 135 male teachers. 151 female teachers. :506 directors, 51 districts and 10.908 school children. Last year 9 new school houses were built in county-the largest of which was Mars borough school—a beautiful brick structure, built for eight rooms and costing about SIO,OOO. More than 50 school houses of this county are old buildings _ and poorly suited for school work: 150 are good bniidings. well supplied with school ap paratus. We claim that no building can te too good and too comfortable for a school room and that many buildings now us ed in this county are too old. too shab by, too small and too much un-homelike for the welfare of the boys and the girls now in school. The total value of the school property now in the county is $244,050 and we hope that in the next fifty years this number will be doubled: lor let m<- as sure you that a nation is rich or poor just in proportion to the value it places upon its public schools. Why can we not make Butler county the banner county of the state? In my regular annual visits I called at every school house in this county and spent from one to two hours in each, excepting two in which, on account of sickness, the schools were closed when I called. This fact is new in the history of this county, and I will here say that it is more "work than any one man can do, or should do, in one school year, without injuring his health. In my visits I tried as best I could to find out what and where all of the pu pils were studying: heard them recite to their teacher, taught one or two reci tations in almost every room myseif, answered as test I could any desired question from pupil or teacher, quietly and kindly advised the teacher along any line in which I thought he or she needed improvement, and closed my vis it by offering a few words of encourage ment to the pupils and teachers. And just here 1 want to thank pupils und teachers all over this county for the kindness shown me when in the several schools. Desiring to have with me the director t»f each school I personally called on a large majority of the directors. 118 of whom went with me to his school. This we think a good number but hope that it will be twice as large next year. Among the teacher# I certainly found quite a variety, bnt can say that the very large majority of them were found doing g'ssl, practical school work. The advanced age in which we i;re now living demands tetter schools, and therefore better teachers, than we have ever had in the past. May teachers ever strive to prepare themselves for this noble work and we plead in your behalf for better wages, better apparatus an'l more heartfelt co operation from the patrons of our schools. The daily attendance of the several schools was good. yet in some few dis tricts it Wits not what it should have boeo. I am fullv convinced that no other one thing so fat.-.lly injures a school a* does I*>or attendance, and I do hope that pa rents will see to it and have their child reri attend school as regularly as possi- Me. The compulsory school law of our state is a friend and not an enemy to the IKIVS and girls, and should be thus held up before them. From the final report which I gave to the teachers I select a few facts as fol lows: Average age of pupils !•> years; per cent of attendance, boys *•', girls 85 am proud to report that 2.V) directors visit ed their own school one or more times during the term, but not so glad to say that -Vi did not. In 50 different schools not one visitor, excepting the County 3uj»erintendent, called during the whole year, whilst, in the other Z'Af schools 2<S7S visitors were reported; the largest number in any one room being 150. I think I voice the sentiment of teach ers everywhere when I say, parents and friends of education you are welcome in our schools any time. (>»me and see what we are doing and by this interest you will encourage us. In my official work during the past year I mailed 278!) letters and cards, drove 4,1»15 miles, and traveled by rail i 152 miles. I attended institute at two different times in Allegheny county, attended the Hound Table Convention of Princi pals and Superintendents of I'ennsylva nia held in Greenville assisted in the State Board Examination at the Clarion Normal and spoke at several local in stitutes held in Butler county. Thanking directors, teachers, parents and pupils of this county for the many kind actions shown me during the past school year and asking for your con tin ued co-operation and help in thisresjion sible work which lam trying to do, I hereby submit this report. Yours very truly. HOWARD 1 PAINTER, Sup't I r I'm <<l i' j Coal Valley. The District C E. Convention held at North Washington Presbyterian church Wednesday, May 2U, was largely at tender). .

She nestled in the forest, Where nightly screechud the owl, Ami where the Ixutrs and wolves Were often known to prowl. They did not, have tine buildings A hundred years ago: The pioneers built houses For use and not for show. A house of loirs constructed, With chimneys on the ontside Was then the stately dwelling. They pointed to with pride. They didn t have the steam cars, A hundred years ago. in fact they had to travel In manner very slow. On rough wagons They d plotll ugly proceed. And thought that they were going At a w xidrotis rate of speed. But now then- s much of Butler. And highly she is classed For since she started growing A 1 entury has passed. And what was once a forest— Where savage beasts were killed, Is now a bustling city. With happy people filled. There schools and churches Are seen on every side; And there to costly mansions The people point with pride. And where the clumsy wagons Once rattled along the lanes, They now are Hwiftly riding 1 On railroad trains A century of progress , Has thus been rounded out, And now in gay old Butler With joy the people shout They vedecked the town in bunting. Flags everywhere displayed; And with the bands all playing ; They through the streets parade. There s wild delight in Butler, And all about her age: 1 In history she is putting I A bright centennial piige. 1 She's certainly deserving, This ureal log noisy row And there will one greater A hundred years from now, A M HAYS.
