AJTHOUNCEM ENTS.
(Subject to the Republican Primary.)
For Justice of the Peace,
MAJOR C. E. ANDERSON.
POLITICAL
This Congressional district now has a
population of 227,823, or nearly 28,000
more than the new ratio of 200,00*).
which the next Congress will probably
adopt.
During the late campaign. Hon. John
H. Mitchell of Oregan. made a speech
at Salem, that State, October 30 nit.,
which is one of the best we have ever
read and it must have had quite an in
fluence in carrying Oregon for the Re
publican party. Senator Mitchell was
formerly one of our citizens and many
here retain the warmest friendship and
best wishes for him.
Quay returned from Florida last Sat
urday, and addressed the following
letter to each member-elect of the
Legislature: /
"Dear Sir—ln view of the fact that
the last Republican State convention by
resolution insisted that I should be a
candidate for United States Senator,you
will probably not consider it impertin
ent if I ask you whether you will sup
port rce in case I should be nominated
by a caucus of Republican Senators and
members of the House of Representa
tives." «
At the end of the last session Quay
had 96 votes, or 32 less than a sufficient
number to elect him, After the elec
tion he claimed 150 votes and some of
his friends were indiscreet enough to
claim that he had 157 votes. Two years
ago, after the election, the Quay men
claimed 166 votes. The question, how
Quay can be defeated, when he gained
30 votes may mislead a few. and it is
probably worth answering. We do not
concede Quay gained 30. But suppose
he made them, there is another proposi
tion which they do not account for.
The anti-Quayites without counting any
members but those who have publicly
gone on record, made gains of not less
than 20, which would leave Quay a pos
sible net gain of 10, if he was given
everything that was claimed for him.
The last bailot on the senatorship in
1899 showed 96 votes for Quay and 157
against fcim. His friends now claim
that he has gained 32, wliich give him
only 128, just the number necessary to
elect him. In the list of claims they
have made, however, there are a num
ber that have declared their intention
to vote against Quay. Not counting
with these the net gaiu of 20 which we
made, one can readily see that Quay is
no nearer an election than he was in
1899. -Ex.
Election Echoes.
The official vote of Allegheny Co.
was declared last Friday to be—Mc-
Kinley and Roosevelt, 71,780, Bryan
and Stevenson, 27,311.
The counting of the electoral vote
takes place the second Wednesday in
February. On that day the big hall of
the House of Representatives will be
the scene of an interesting ceremony.
Both Houses of Congress will assemble
in joint session, Senator Frye, of Maine,
presiding. One Republican and one
Democrat from each body will be ap-
H pointed tellers.
Frye will open the envelopes contain
ing the certificates of electoral votes,
handing the contents to the tellers, who
will read the certificates aloud. The
presiding officer will then announce the
result and declare McKinley and Roose
velt elected President and Vice Presi
dent of the United States. There's a
possibility when the vote of Kentucky
is aunonnced there will be some excite
ment.
Census Figures.
According to the census figures, an
nounced Monday, this county has a pop
ulation of 66, 962. A gain of but 1,623
in ten years, which is accounted for by
so many of our people following the oil
developments into West Virginia and
other states.
The population of the counties con
nected with us politically arer Arm
strong 52,551, Beaver 56,432, Lawrence
57,042, Mercer 57,887.
Allegheny Co., has a population of
775,058, a gain in the ten years of 223,
099 The state was 6,302,115. an in
crease of 1,044,101, or nearly 20 per
cent.
While there is a gratifying increase
in the population of the State, it is in
teresting to note also that nearly all the
counties share in the increase, the ex
ceptions being, Cameron, Clarion, Cen
tre, Crawford, Fulton. Greene, Hun
tingdon, Juniata, Pike, Susquehanna,
Tioga and Wayne. Cameron lost 190;
Centre, 375; Clarion, 2,519; Crawford,
1,691; Greene, 654; and Huntingdon, 1,
101. Of the western counties,
Westmoreland with 47,356, and
Cambria with 38,462. lead those
which increased in population, Cambria
having the largest percentage of gain of
the two. Fayette ranks next with 30,
406. and is followed by Washington,
with, 21,026; Lawrence, 19,525; Jef
ferson. 15,108; Blair, 14,233, Somerset,
12,144; Clearfield, 11,149. and Elk. 10,
664. The smallest increase is in Ind
iana, which has a gain of 381.
Under the constitution counties with
over *IOO,OOO inhabitants must be dis
tricted for legislative purposes. Cambria,
Westmoreland and York are now in
this class. In counties with over a
population of 150,000 separate Orphan's
courts must be established and the
county officers must be paid by salary
and not by fees, provisions which now
apply to Westmoreland, Lancaster,
Lackawanna and Berks. The latter
county, however, has already a separate
Orphan's court, the Legislature having
power to establish such courts at its
discretion. Somerset is the only coun
ty entitled to its own Common Pleas
judge, owing to an increase over the
40,000 limit. Bedford, which now forms
a judicial district with Somerset, lacks
532 of having enough population to
give it a judge, and Warren, now join
ed to Forest, falls 1,054 short.
An Enjoyable Event.
Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Renfrew of Ren
frew gave a reception on Wednesday
evening, Nov. 14, 1900, in honor of their
son, Ira, and his bride, who was former
ly Miss Lillian Powell. The evening
was delightful, and upon the arrival of
the 0:10 train the happy couple were re
ceived by a delegation including a rice
shower. They were escorted to the
home of the groom's parents, where the
guests were waiting to receive them.
After congratulations all repaired to
the dining room, finding the tables
beautifully decorated with cut flowers
and ladened with rich provisions. The
supper hour was much enjoyed by all, j
D. N. Crowe acting as toastmaster.
The bride received many beautiful'
and useful presents, including silver- '
ware, table linens, bric-a-brac, china. ;
etc.
Among the guests in attendance <mt
of town were Mrs. Giuliani and daugh
ter, Sirs McElroy of Cleveland, Ohio;
Mrs. 8. G. (lay of Oak dale, Pa.; Miss
Bird Mel son of Beaver county; Mrs. A.
J. Douthett of Evans City and Mr. and
Mrs. I. J. McCandless of Butler.
The youDg people are both well known
and very popnlar. We trust that the
wedding bells tnay soon rinp again in
Renfrew or vicinity is this was a most
enjoyable event and will lon« l>e re
membered by those present. Mc.
Poor China.
In the German Reichstag, Monday,
Chancellor von Buelow made known
the demands npon the Chinese govern
ment that had l>een agreed upon by the
foreign ministers in Pekin. They are:
"China shall erect a monument to
Baron von Ketteler on the site where he
was murdered and send an imperial
prince to Germany to convey an apology.
She shall inflict the death penalty upon
11 princes and officials already named
and suspend provincial examinations
for five years where the outrages oc
enrred. In future all officials failing to
prevent anti-foreign outrages within
their jurisdiction shall be dismissed and
punished. Indemnity shall be paid to
states, corporations and individuals.
The Tsnng Li Yanien shall be abolished,
and its functions vested in a foreign
minister. Rational intercouse shall be
permitted with the Emperor, as in
civilized countries. The forts at Taku
and the other forts on the coast of Chi
Li shall be razed and the importation of
arms and war material prohibited.
Permanent legation guards shall be
maintained, and also guards of com
municatiau between Pekin and the sea.
Imperial proclamations shall be posted
for two years throughout the empire
suppressing Boxers. Indemnity is to
include compensation for Chinese who
suffered through being employed by for
eigners. but not compensation for na
tive Christians. China shall erect ex
piatorv monuments in every foreign or
international burial ground where
graves have been profaned. The Chinese
government shall undertake to enter
upon negotiations for such changes in
existing treaties regarding trade and
navigation as the foreign governments
deem advisable and with reference to
other matters having in view the fac
ilitation of commercial relations. "
THE Russians seem to be elevating
the heathen Chinese to their places in
the other world by the immersion pro
cess, several thousand at a time.
The Winfield liranch.
A Pittsburg paper says that the Win
field branch has been leased to some
capitalists of that City, who have or
ganized to operate it, with Frederick
W. McKee, as president; W. E. Cam
ahan, vice president; Sion B. Smith,
secretary and treasurer and D. S. Beeler
manager. This company has now val
uable limestone mines along the Win
field branch road, and the present out
put averages about 25 cars a day. Re
cently larger holdings have been obtain
ed so that the company now has 1.400
acres of land, rich in coal, limestone,
sand and natural gas It is now plan
ned to develope this territory as rapid
ly as possible, and to build up the town
of West Winfield. In order to do this
it was thought best to have control of
the branch railroad, and a few weeks
ago if was leased from the Penn
sylvania with the privilege of running
trains over the Pennyslvania's tracks to
Butler Junction. The new company
has bought its own engines and pas
senger cars and will run two trains a
day each way from West Winfield to
Butler Junction. This will also open
up a new passenger service, for until
the present time the branch has never
had passenger trains.
The Winfield company has another
project in view, which is to be taken up
next summer. It is the building of a
summer hotel and pleasure resort at
Winfield. The road follows Buffalo
creek, which is most picturesque, hav
ing many ideal spots for a big summer
resort within less than two hours' ride
from Pittsburg. It had been intended
to run trains on the line, starting last
Monday, but the opening has been post
poned for a week.
NEIGHBORHOOD NOTES.
At Weston, W. Ga., the county seat
of Lewis county, and the nearest large
town to the Copley and Turner gushers,
$36000 worth of real estate changed
hands and 200 new residents arrived in
one day.
After a banquet given at the Hotel
Schenley, Pittsburg, last Thursday,
Andrew Carnegie offered to build a
polytechnic or technical school, and
endow it with gold bonds that would
yield a revenue of $50,000 a year if the
city would furnish a site. His letter to
the Mayor shows that he has msde a
study of similar schools in Philadelphia,
Brooklyn, Chicago and several English
cities.
The Second Annual Fat Stock show
opened at the East Liberty Stock Yards
last Friday morning and closed Monday
evening. * The two animals that at
tracted the most attention were a steer
exhibited by Hon. Frank McLain of
Lancaster, recently re-elccted to the
Pennsylvania Legislature. It weighs
3,900 pounds, and is said to be the larg
est in the world and a steer which
George Offut of Rush county. Ind., had
on exhibition. It weighs 3,200 pounds
and is honored by the name of William
McKinley.
This is not the season for fly stories,
but the following from Akron, Ohio,
takes the cake: "The cornerstone of
the old High school building, which is
being torn down to make room for the
new Pennsylvania freight station, was
removed today. As the papers were
taken out of a"sealed box, which held
them, a blue bottlefly buzzed out from
among them. The fly had been in the
box since the corner stone was laid 50
years ago.
An Altoona young lady went to the
Railroad station to flirt with some Com
mercial Travelers. They playfully
stood her on her head and now she is
mad about it.
Carl Powell, of Grove City, was held
up by a highwayman Saturday evening,a
short distance south of that town,
while returning home from Slippery
rock. Mr Powell gave the robber all
his loose change, 41 cents, also three
cigarettes, when he was allowed to de
part.
Two schools in Conneaut were closed
last week 011 account of cases ofdiphthe
ria breaking out among the pupils
Washigton county last Saturday dedi
cated what it proudly claimes to be the
finest County building in the Ktate.
Their claim, to all appearances, seems
well founded, for the architect and
builder have nothing left undone, and
the structure now stands a fitting mon
ument to the present generation of one
of the wealthiest and mort progressive
counties of the Keystone State.
AT Limon, Colorado, last Friday, a
young negrc was burned at the stake
for assaulting and murdering a girl.
Fairview.
The marriage of George W. Board of
Turtle Creek and Edith Madge Temple

a m , last Thursday at the resilience of
Mr. and Mrs. Philip Templeton. The
ceremony was performed by Rev. S.
Fidler of tbe M. E. Church. The bride
is an only daughter and was one of
Fairview's most popular young ladies.
Mr. Board is one of Turtle (.'reek's en
terprising business men. The bride

ARMY LIFK IN CHINA
TSIN, CHINA, July 16. 1900.
M. L. Heck art of Kansas, a nephew of
W. D. Brandon of Butler, wrote his
mother aD interesting letter from Tien
Tsin. China, shortly after the capture of
that city, from which we take the fol
lowing:—
DEAR MOTHER:— On the morning of
the nth we finished loading the lighters
The first battalion boarded the first
lighter, and we the second.
Before we got started our lighter was
leaking so badly that E company was
taken off and put in the first lighter,
and they had to bail water all the way
up here. Seven boats of marines came
and made fast to the rear lighter.
General Liscomb bjarded the launch
that pulled us. and the procession started
with our band playing
We steamed three hours when we
could see land, and another big launch
and two small ones from the Newark
and Brooklyn, came and divided up the
load. Each big launch taking a lighter
and the small ones the boats of marines.
The shore was low, marshy flats. as far
as we could see. There is no bay at all.
and we started up the big river.
Both banks were lined with clay forts
that must have taken an immen?e
amount, of labor for construction.
Soldiers of all nations were Rationed at
the places the}* had taken. Nearlv every
thing was in ruins as far as we could
see. and many large fires were still
burning;
About 4 p. m. our boats made fast tu
a wharf that our marines had taken and
we disembarked, made a shelter tent
camp along the railroad near the quarters
of some Russian and Japanese soldiers,
and got snpper. for we had had nothing
but raw bacon and liard-tack to eat since
morning.
Early the next morning we were astir
and soon aboard the big boats, going up
the big riyer, which is very muddy and
unfit to drink. We were soon out of
Taku. but it is one big town after an
other all the way up here, and the coun
try mnat have been densely populated,
but now nearly everything was in ruins
and Chinese very scarce.
There was some land covered with
the same big grass or rushes that grew
on the flats, but farther up the river
every foot of land seemed to be cultivat
ed or occupied. We passed several big
forts at towns that had been taken, and
gigantic mounds of earth as large as
Blue Monnd but about half as high:
but we did not know what they had
been thrown for. In other fields were
round mounds with a'Knob on the top,
of all sizes. Someone said they were
burying grounds—the size of the mound
depending on the person's wealth and
position in the world. Some of these
mounds were as large as a brick block
of Independence, and considerably high
er. We passed one large town that ex
tended for miles along the river
There were hundreds of the big sail
boats like our lighters, with the odd
shaped flags of their Chinese owners
flying, anchored along the shores.
There was a lot of docks, and a vast
quantity of logsandhe wn timberipiled up,
but it must have come from some oti.er
country, or from up the river, for theiv
is no sign of such timber here. There
were lots of trees growing, but. all w. re
shade trees or orchards: some looked 10
be loaded with peaches or apricots
We passed many nice gardens where
we saw onions and corn growing, with
lots of other truck. Th& other fields
were mostly corn, but I have seen noth
ing like the" rice tliey raise in the Philip
pines, though lots of it is stored here.
The whole country is low and level like
a gard(#n. "They must irrigate from :he
looks of the little fields, dikesand ditches
but they have a different system from
that in western Kansas.
We passed a small temple that had
not been destroyed, and looking iu
through the big openings we couUl see
the big, ugly, grotesque images and
idols.
The river was getting smaller and We
had been aground several times, and
one fellow had tumbled overboard but
got to the shore, ran along the bank, got ]
a row-boat and got aboard again.
Towards evening in going around a
bend our bow stuck fast in the right
bank, and as the wind was blowing from
the side* the stern swung around and
struck the other bank and we were hard
and fast.
The launch cut loose and went up
stream to move a lot of boats out of
the way, and a gang of Chinese came
out of a cluster of mud huts. wi:h a lot
of chickens, gave them to the soldiers
and a Chinese that came with ns from
the Philipincs said they wanted an
American flag to put up on llieir houses,
so the soldiers of the other nations
would not destroy them, and that they
knew we would not harm them. They
were given a pai»er of some kind and
then the sailors threw a line
from the stern to shore, and our
Chinaman got them to pull on it and
swing 11s into the stream. They began
pulling, keeping a wierd singsong chant
which our Chinaman said was"all samee
inelican, one, two, three,'' bat each in j
dividual seemed to pull when he said |
"three,"'regardless of what the others!
were doing.
About sundown we heard heavy can
nonading and everything became hushed
and quiet—that odd gripping sensation
coming in onr throats as we began ' <
realize what our "excursion to China.'' j
as the newspapers had it, was going to
be
About midnight we landed at a wharf
and marched to the marines quarters,
where they gave us supper of coffee,
hard-tack ami canned beef, and we
found room in the big buildings to lie
down. Before morning the Chinese
were shelling the town from the walled
city, and there was considerable rifle fire.
Several spent balls were picked up as
they dropped in the yard where we
were lined up for breakfast.
About the middle of the forenoon we
marched back to a group of big 1 ice j
store houses, under the German flag. '
where our lighter was fastened. We |
were assigned quarters,took off our stuff 1
and began unloading the Ixiat. working !
day and night—working in reliefs,'- hrs I
011 and 4 hours off—until the night of
the 11th, when I was detailed with a
corporal and 10 others to go with D
company. That afternoon the Eifglish
had bombarded the walled city with
lyddite, and the allied forces were to at
tack the next day.
Tien Tsln is of two parts, the modern
or foreign part built of brick, and the
ancient Chinese part built of mud and !
straw, like the dobie huts of Mexieo, j
and surrounded by massiye dirt walls |
There are no slone or wooden buildings [
that I have seen.
Tbe whole conntrj seems to be a >»itf
alkali flat. The soil is a kind of brown
ish gray clay, awl everything is built of
brick and mud. The water we use here
is run through big filters in the water
works. Still it chaps the Viands and lips
and makes the mouth and throat sore
The river water is very bad, and filthy
besides. Dead Chinaman are floating
down it clear to the ocean, and we saw
dogs eating them along the banks The
slaughter is awful, and if ever a land
was "bathed iu blood," it is China to
day
We formed back of otir quarters about
4 o'clock in the morning, and waited
while English, French, Blue Jackets,
Japanese, etc., passed, we being put in
the rear to act as support for the Japan
ese through the day. We marched
south—went northwest through the
outskirts of town, and formal our usual
skirmish line in the open fields before
the first big wall and our centre opposite
the gate. All kinds of soldiers were in
our front, and a French battery on our
right was pounding away: machine
gunfl were tearing loose; there was a hot
rifle fire: the English throwing in some
beautiful rattling volleys with their
"Lee Metfords." Troops were tioitJK
through the gate and over the wall
v.hen wt got in sight. We had several
men hit before we reached the wall.
When we came to the big ditch we
had to form in column of fours to cross
on the bridge; deployed again before
tho wall; crossed over and were again
in big ditches and among houses and
had to form column of fours to cross
another bridge and wait for part of the
Japs to yet ahead of us again.
The battery had moved in front of
the old arsenal and wa. shelling the big
towers at the gate in the next big wall,
i We deployed along the big ditch north
| of the arsenal, getting mixed up again
, with the Japanese, who were forming
and charging up the north road in col
umn of fours.
It was a fine sight.
To give them room our lines were ex
' tended along the road northeast when
we felt a sharp flank fire from the forts
and wall on that road. Our right was
extended to meet the fire and other
companies coming tip. the advance be
came general.
The fields were cut up with big ditch
es of filthy, salty water that crias-cross
ed in ali directions, dikes and mounds.
A line was never formed and neither
could it have been maintained, and we
were all mixed np. going in bunches,
following the officers and halting in the
ditches to reply to the enemy's tire.
Several fellows came near drowning.
Before the little forts and mud houses,
lay a big ditch which could not be cross
ed' without bridging, and as we heard
Colonel Lishomb was killed everything
stopped, and over ninety of us. with
Captain Brewster and four Lieutenants
stopped behind the last big ditch at the
edge of the water.
We had the Chinese pretty well cleared
away and their fire quieted, when about
ten o'clock our amunition got low and
they began to come back, and until
dark they kept tip an awful hot fire on
the open ground we had crossed, firing
on the men gathering up the wounded
Fifty Marines were sent to reinforce ns
but could not make it. as the Chinese
were using more artillery from the wall
behind the forts and huts.
A packmule with amunition tried to
get to us. but the men and mule were
killed. We stuck to our ditch till dark
and then sneaked out. carrying onr
dead and wounded The main column,
which we should have followed, went
in at the gate west of us and all daj we
could hear them haying it hot and
heavy, as the} - fought their way along.
The houses are of mud, the streets little
alleys, and it was a continuous fight
nearly all through the town. The
third battallion had got up that day
and relieved us and we went to our
quarters.
Three of the 12 E men got hit, but
are getting along all right Colonel
Liscoinb's body wts sent down the
river and buried at Taku. The IS en
listed men were buried in our big
trench in the back yard. There was
lots of rich looting—gold, silver, silks
and jewels. Citizens, soldiers of other
nations and our officers got it. The :M
battalion fellows had a lot of stnff. but
all of us and our quarters were search
ed, and everything of value taken away.
Now we are not allowed to leave with
out a pass, and here we are in low, mas
sive brick buildings, surrounded by a
brick wall, and that guarded by a
chain of sentries with orders to let no
one in or out, and they have orders to
shoot too. So it seems as if we were in
a penitentiary.
The guard house is full of our mem
mostly in for "drunk and disorderly.
We have to drill twice a day. and
have lots of work unloading the boats
that bring our stnff np the river. But
1 enjoy the grub. We have all kinds of
garden truck, onions, radishes, cabbage,
roasting-ears. turnips, etc., that we get
in the gardens nearby. I was sent out
with one detail and it made a fellow
quite home-sick to be in a garden where
the old familiar truck was growing
**•*»»**
All the ground abort here seems to
have been dug up in making the walls,
houses, etc Some of the European
houses have' nice yards, from the
glimpses one catches through th * g.ites.
There are no side walks, but the houses
are pretty much like in any civilized
! city.
\Veli. I must ,8v something about trie
.v idiers of other countries. Of course
our friendship is closest with the Eng
lish. The Welsh fusileers are here,
just from the Transvaal. They wear a
kahki suit and helmet; are better train
ed than we are and get along so much
better with their officers. They have
no guard house, and when their sentries
arrest looters, all the loot is sold and
divided up with the privates, while onr
officers keep what they want and turn
the rest over to the government They
live lots better than we do too.
The Japs are the most interesting of
all aud think lots of us, but say we are
too clumsy for good soldiers, and after
! seeing a regiment of them drilling I
agree with them. Thev are better drill
ed, better equipped for campaigning
and are standing it better than any
of the other nutions They are all
small, heavy-set, and all the same size:
wear a white suit, legtcins and cap; but
the different commands wear a slightly
different uniform just as we do. They
are scrappers tc a finish, and great hust
lers. and army life seems to just suit
them.
The Russians are big. husky fellows
and wear leather boots, baggy black
pants, a white cap and a loose white
jacket. They always wear the narrow
cartridge belt around the waist.
the whole they are a pretty dirty set of
men
The French soldiers look the bum
niiest of all. They wear a big white
helmet. l)ig heavy clumsy plow shoes
and the uniform looks just like a bad
fitting snit of bine over-alls and jacket,
except that the jacket has brass but
tons.
I have feen no German soldiers yet.
but the sailors from the warships are
dressed about like all the other nations,
white dnck suit, leggins, of some sort,
white cap or straw hat.
The English blue-jackets wear a dark
blue sailor suit, the clothes for cold
weather, 1 „ r uess.
As for health, I believe we are better
off than in Luzon, provided they don't
dog ns to death. The days are very
hot, the nights cool, and there is a ijood
breeze blowing much of the time, and
somo times it is windy and dusty, but
we don't get to enjoy the open air ranch.
It is very dry, and they say it does not
rain much here. Flies are very bad,
but hardly any ants or mosquitos.

EDITOR ClTlZEN:— Knowing your
interest in the public schools and your
love for the children, teachers and
school ma'ams in general, we kindly j
ask you to give us a little space in your
paper for a few notes concerning the
above mentioned school. This school,
which no donbt takes its name from
