The Republican leaders of the House will not let the body they control ac cept the reductions proposed by the Senators in the amended hill reported to the Senate. If the Senate passes the amended bill the House leaders will tight the proposed changes so hard that the Senate will be brought face to face with the alternative of a reduction on the lines propored by the Houfn.; or none at all.

THE case of that American editor of a Manila newspaper who lias_been deport ed from the Philippines, because he dared to charge official corruption in the administration of the office of Cap tain of the Port of Manila, is a beautiful application of the principle that the Constitution does not follow the flag. Edward VII. With great pomp and pageantry F.d svard VII. was last Thursday publicly proclaimed King of Great Britian and Ireland nnd Emperor of India. In Lon don the proclamation was made early in the forenoon at five places. The forms observed were like those employed for centuries in the kingdom, and were objects of great curiosity aad interest. The King did not appear in connect ion with any of the ceremonies. Soon after they had been concluded at the Royal Exchange King Epward left Marlborough House to return to the! Isle of Wight, and as he drove through the streets to Victoria station ho was saluted with more enthusiastic cheering than during his public appearance the day before. There was a feeling of keen disap pointment among the general public at the way they were cheated out of the proclamation of the King. The hour set for it and announced in all the pa pers was 10 am. The proceedings be gun at 0 o'clock at St. .Fames Palace, and were rushed through at the ditfen nt prescribed places Charing Cross, Tem ple Itar. Cheapside and the Royal Kx change with such celerity that the crowd was of comparatively diminutive proportions. This was the object of the court of flelals. lis they feared tint if the e re monies were performed al the stated hour the throng would l> ■ - > dense that there would tie great difficulty itt get ting the heralds in their gorg< ons Kilt tahaids and the tiuuipei>t through the street".

Oct. 18-10, was the sou of Peter and Anne Snee Kattigan. When a boy he sold newspapers, learned the print ing trade on the Pit'sburg Dis patch, and in 1802 at the age of 10 enlisted in 00, F. 120 th Pa. ol s, after having been refused tive times on account of his youth. At the battle of Port Royal ho lost the hearing of his right ear by the explosion of a shell. At Chancellorsyillo he was wounde<l in the left foot In IH6B he was honorably discharged and returned to piinting. In 1808 lie helped establish the Oil City Times, now Derrick, and later assisted with the Oil City Herald. Ia 1872 he retained to Pittsburg and in 1877 went to Millerstown and established the Millers town Herald, for many years a famous Democratic organ. In June iM,<) »r. Rattigan consolidated his Mill «rstown llerald with the old Ziegler Democratic • Herald and since then he with his sons had bet-n editing the But ler Herald. Mr. Rattigan was always prominent in Democratic politics, having served as delegate to national and state conven tions, county chairman and division chairman. In Millerstown he held the offices of Burgess. .1 nstice of the Peace, school director and from 1885 to !M was Post Master. He was a member of Rob t McDer mott Post 223 G. A. R, Odd Fellows and Knights of Pythias. In lHlis he married Etta M. Bell, who with seven children. Harry, Anna. Wellington, Peter, Etta, Howard and Bessie, survive hiui. His funeral was held Monday morn ing in the English Catholic church. Members of the McDermott Post, G. A. R., of Millerstown and the A. G. Reed Post, of Butler, and the local and Mill erstown Odd Fellows attended. It is with sincere rtgret that we chronicle Mr. Rattigan s death. He was a rival in business and opposite in politics, but he was sincere in his con victions and pleasant, genial, clever and honest as a man, one who held the es teem and respect of all.

WE MAKE Liars Of Our Competitors If tliev told the truth concerning the Chase Brothers, Hackley and Carlisle Pianos and our manner of dealing with our customers, we would sell ill the pianos that are sold in llu'.ler There are parties who peddle pianos (as they cannot be called dealers or merchants, having no legitimate place of business) who are telling people that 1 "do not keep tnv agreements with my customers," which statement when they make it is nil abso'ute lie, anil they tell this DKMUKKATKLY in order to try to hurt my business.

W'Utu tU« Vuritau passed through the (ureita ol New England, he realUed that his greatest dangtr was from hidden foe* Therefore, he was aruu-d and vigilant. The enemies a man can see he can fight, but the enemy that slculks in darkness unseeu, be he ever so weak, is to be dreaded by reason of his in visibility. The foes that threaten the life to-day tie all ambushed. There Is no fear of the "arrow that tlieth by day," for the day of the arrow is past and gone. But the " pestilence that walketh in dark ness," is still a thing of terror, because it strikes suddenly from ambush. Let the word pestilence be only whis- pcred and fear grips the heart. Homes are forsaken. People flock to the rail roads frantic to escape from the infected city. But shout a warning against dvs pepsia and who is alarmed? Nobody. Yet dyspepsia in the diseases to which it tends, is responsible for more deaths an nually in the United States than pesti lence could probably claim in a decade. THE WEAK SPOT of the modern mail is his stomach. No man can be stronger than his stomach because the stomach is in effect the vital centre of the body. Where does the heart get its nourishment? From the (tomacn. Where is the nourishment prepared for lungs, liver, kidneys and other organs? All are nourished from the stomach. Stop putting food into the stomach and in time the heart stops (jest ing. We must cat to live. Everybody knows that. They understand that the man that isn't fed starves. But what they (Jon't seem to understand is that starva tion is just as sure when the man is fed, if by reason of disease the stomach cannot convert the food it receives into nutri tion for the Ijodv and its several organs. The sign of starvation is emaciation, loss of flesh. That's the sign of dyspep sia and weak stomach also. The dys peptic eats enough but the stomach and other organs of digestion and nutrition fail to extract the nourishment from the food and so the body grows lean and the Strength of the body is undermined. DYSPEPSIA AND DEGENERACY. There is a certain physical degeneracy which results from dyspepsia. If the body is not nourished it grows weak, and' as the l>ody is only a general name for the sum of hs organs and members, to speak of the body growing weak means that the heart is growing weak, the lungs are growing weak, and that the liver and kidneys and other organs are involved in the same '"weakness." When diseases of the stomach and its allied organs are cured these dependent weaknesses are cured also. " For about two years I suffered from a very obstinate case of dyspepsia," writes R. E. Secord.
