The affection of the Republicans of this county for the Grand Old Party— the party of Protection. Prosperity and Progress—was again demonstrated last night by the enthusiastic meeting in the Opera House. Delegates from all parts of the county were in Butler, and when the red-fire parade headed for the building the house was soon filled to overflowing, with every seat taken and hundreds standing in the aisles and lobby. At 8 o'clock Chairman McQuistion called for order, and introduced the Butler Glee Club, who gaye us a jolly song; and then the Chairman announc ed that Col. Thompson nad been select to preside. The Colonel came forward, and said that Sec'y Shanor would read the list of Vice Presidents —two or three from each district in the county, and which we find too long to put in type this morning. The Republican editors were selected as Secretaries, the Vice Presidents took seats on the platform, and then Col. Thompson made a neat speech saying that we were here to discuss the issues '~of4bc_day, and comparing present con ditions with those of four years ago. Jas. F. Burke of Pittsburg was then introduced, and he made a rattling speech, taking for his text some ques tions asked by a local Democratic pa per—he answered them so completely and effectually as to carry the whole audience with him. To the last ques tion —"What's the matter with Bryan?" he disclaimed sufficient medical knowl edge to determine, but he thoroughly exposed all of Bryan's fallacies. No more pointed or witty speech has ever been made from that platform. He was followed by Mr. Church of Philadelphia, whose remarks were scholarly, logical, statistical, historical and full of deep truths, and he by J. D. Daugherty of Kittanning, who spoke to the young voter; with an interlude by the Apollo Club, and the meeting broke up in great good humor. Though there have been a few sur prises in this campaign, the election of McKinley and Roosevelt is considered a certainty by our wisest politicians: our State ticket will have a tremendous ma jority; and as for our local ticket, Messrs Showalter, Williams, Mates and Thompson are all reputable men, nomi nated according to our party ruleß, and by them entitled to the suffrages of all the Republicans of the county. AT Georgetown, Ky. last Saturday, Henry M. Youtsey, ex-Gov. Taylor's stenographer was convicted of being one of the principals in the murder of Goebel, and the jury fixed his punish ment at imprisonment for life. This trial presented some extremely sen sational incidents, the defendant having succumbed to the excitement to such an extent that he attended the later pro ceedings as an invalid in bed. The testimony against Youtsey was along practically the same lines as that in the cases of Powers and Howard, previous ly convicted with the addition of Ar thur Goebel's account of a confession by t he defendant. CHINA. On Saturday last the English govern ment made public the text of an agree ment entered into by Great Britian and Germany regarding the settlement of Chinese affairs. It pledges these two Powers not to claim additional territory it China, to oppose the acquisition of territory by any other Power and to favor the open door at all ports. The German Government thinks the Aw?Io-Gornian agreement contains nothing the United States cannot sub scribe to, since the United States has steadily favored the "open door," the territorial integrity of China and eqnal advantages to all the Powers there. No other Power was consulted before the agreement was reached, because it was deemed best that the two great Powers come forward with an agree ment as an accomplished fact and then invite the other Powers to snlwcribe to the principles of the agreement. SOME of George W. Palmer's charit able neighbors thought he was getting too much pension and confided their thoughts to the pension bureau and as a result his pension was cut down sJS'-i per month. The Bntler Herald blames this on Congressman Showalter, but it was some neighbor and not Mr. Showalter who did it. One of the reasons why Mr. Showalter could secure the unanimous support of his connty for a third term was his indefatigable efforts at Washington to always accom modate and help his Bntler connty friends—Democrat or Republican. OUR NEXT CONGRESSMAN. IBPlaSfc •> v^*4S£sS s 3£e/i**- •$ « ■■, ffi„m I mini ■ ■ isBI B I Hon. Joseph B. Show-alter was born in Fayette county, this state. Feb 11, 1851, and has been a resident of Millerstown, this connty, since 1873. when he commenced operations in the oil business. He graduated from the College of Physicians and Surgeons, Baltimore. Md., in ISB4 and practiced until 1890. In 1886 he was elected by the Republicans to the Legislature, and in 1888 to the State Senate and he is now on the Republican ticket for Congress, his third run. He deserves the support of all Republicans. Robbed ot $2,600. D.O.Pisor of Cecilia St. Butler,drover, was robbed of $3,600 in cash within the , borough limits of Millvale. Allegheny Co. last Tuesday evening. The money represented the sale of five car loads of sheep, pigs and cattle which he took to Pittsburg last Saturday. The robbery was accomplished by two men. As Pisor was coming slowly along the Evergreen road they suddenly appear ed before him. One pnshed a revolver under his nose and comma nded him to throw up his hands. The other, the smaller, then tore open the drovers vest. The money was in the inside pocket. The little thief extracted it while his burly companion issued the command to Pisor "get away from here and be quick about it." Pisor ran hastily from the spot and the thieves leisurely went in the opposite direction. The police of both places were notified, but nothing had been learned late that night. Pisor makes regular visits to Pittsburg He always stops at the Hotel Busier, at Evergreen avenue and John street, Millvale. and is about as well knwon there as if he were a citizen of theplace On each visit Prisor brings with him several carloads of stock. On his ar rival Saturday he disposed of the greater part of his herd, and on Monday started out to make his collections. From the Liberty National Bank he received $1,600 in exchange for a check. He also drew S6OO from the Working men's Savings Bank of Allegheny, a large sum from the Diamond National, and received from S3OO to S4OO from his customers in the market houses. All of this money, with the exception of a few hundred which he had expended. Prisor had in his inside vest pocket. Priso.- spent the greater part of the day at the stockyards in East Liberty and on Herrs Island. He arrived as Hotel Busier about 5 o'clock and finished his supper half an hour later. He announc ed to some friends at the hotel that he had business with a man at the Hotel Haser, on the extension of Evergreen avenue, in Shaler township. He re mained there until about 7;30 o'clock, when he started back to his hotel. Midway between Haser.s and the Hotel Busier the road is dark and lonely. Prisor however, had walked it many times and had no thought of danger. Suddenly a man stepped from the road side. The drover did not see him until the two were almost face to face. Then he caught the glint of a revolver Itarrel and heard the peremptory command "Hands up." A second figure came out of the darkness with the weapon. It was there and then that the robbery occured. Prisor burst into the bar of Hotel Busier, pale and out of breath. His story, told with difficulty, created great excitemer t. A dozen men started for the scene of the robbery and scoured the country for a trace of the thieves. Hooker. Miss Linnie Reddick, of Centerville, and Mr. H. M.

Stoops, on Friday evening, in honor of Mrs. Stoop's niece, Miss Cora Blinn, who has been spend ing the summer in these parts The affair was highly enjoyed by everyone present and far too soon came the hour for separating. But all the guests went home feeling that they had had a good time and that it was well to have been there.
