ENGLAND and Russia are having a
serious disagreement over some conces
sions made by the Chinese Government
to Russia, and the matter is not yet set
tle<L Both governments are hampered
at present; England by the South Afri
can war, which ties up the best of her
army, and Russia by political riot* in
her large cities.
Should they come to war Japan would
probably side with England and France
with Russia, while Germany will take
what she wants —and the United States
will keep out of the mugs,as she should.
The Chinese seem to have accomplish
ed their purpose of creating dissension
among their foes. .
HARKISBUHG.
On Tuesday Lt. Gov. Gobin issued a
writ to the Sheriff of Allegheny county
calling for the election of a successor to
Senator Magee, dec'd., on Tuesday,
April 16th, next.
Among the bills presented in the
Senate, that day, was one by Senator
Williams prohibiting the manufacture
and sale of cigarettes.
WASH IX G TON.
The War Department cabled instruc
tions to Gen. Chaffee in China, last
week, to take all the American troops
from that country to Manila, excepting
a picked company for a legation guard.
This action was probably taken in view
of the impending struggle between
Russia and England for the possession
ot Tien Tain, the seaport of Pekin, and
which the Chinese seem to have ceded
to Rnssia.
Ab m Stone was appointed P. M. for
Argentine.
Political.
At Scranton, last Saturday Judge
Archbald filed a long opinion sustain
ing the new legislation for cities of the
second class (known as the Ripper Bill)
in all its phases, as it was supposed he
would and the matter will now go to
the Supreme Court, the spring sitting
which is in Philadelphia.
There are about a dozen applicants
for the Marshalship of the West Penn
district—including two from Butler Co.
The present Marshal's home is in the
newly cheated Middle District of Penn
sylvania.
Tlie Auditors' Report.
The Comity Auditors finished their
work last week, and their Report, which
the County Commissioners have, for
years, been adopting as the Annual
Statement required by law to be made
public by them, appears in this issue.
The total receipts of the County
Treasurer for County and State pur
poses during the year 1900 were $121.-
934 91. and this was all paid out on
Touchers", for current expenses, state
taxes and percentages excepting $7,361.-
05—the balance in the Treasurer's hands
on the Ist day of the new year.
A statement of the receipts is made in
the different tables; and of the expenses
the amounts paid for New bridges, *9,-
008.10; Jurors, $7,683.01; Elections, $4,-
715.90; Court bouse repairs, $4,002.46;
Commonwealth costs, $8,097.94; Dix
monnt, $3,807.15; Warren, $1,041.00;
Penitentiary, $1,751.00; and Re-date ring,
$1.3*0.00 are the largest.
During the year s'>s,ooo was borrowed
and paid back; and tho amounts due
from the Collectors exceed the liabilities
of the county.
The receipts of the County Poor Dis
trict were $81,487.67-$14,312.71 of which
was in the treasury at the end of the
year.
A liflt of the exjsinditures, aggregat
ing $66,641.74 appears in the Report.
The Poor District is in debt, of course,
for the bonds issued, but these can be
paid off and tho establishment kept up
on a very small millage—that for this
year being one and three-fourth mills.
War in China.
At Tien-Tsin, China, the seaport of
Pekin, last week, the I3riti«h and
Russians were disputing over the limits
of railway property in the Russian con
cession, and the guards of the two
nations were in close proximity to each
other. The British had been strongly
reinforced and trouble was imminent.
The British were acting nuder orders to
lay a siding, by force, if necessary, and
this the Russians were opposing.
A dispatch received in London from
Tien-Thin by Router's Telegram Com
pany, dated from that city Friday, said;
"The Russians are now entrenching
in the disputed territory. A company
of the Hong Kong regiment, with fixed
bayonets, is in front, while two compa
nies of the Madras Piqueem, under the
command of Major Johnston, are held
in reserve. Both the Russians and the
British are awaiting instructions from
their Governments."
On Saturday tlie English railway I
authorities put men to work building a
siding near tlit; station. The Russians
drove them off for trespassing on their
new concessions. The laboreis. who
were roughly bandied, returned, sup
ported by several hundred British
troops. The Russians responded by
calling out their whole force and pre-,
paring for battle. Upon seeing this the
British desisted from their purpose of
bringing back laborers to work by fore.-
General Barlow, commanding the
English, and General Woguck. com
mander of the Rnesian force, iiad a con
ference, and both nid<s agreed not to
break the peace for 24 hour.". Intofmn
tion regarding tin; situation was cabled
to London and St. Petersburg. Intense
anxiety as to the outcome prevail* in
London. The Russians are entrenching
themselves in their concemion.
Count Waldarsee arrived in Tien Tsin
Tuesday and ltad long and separate con
versation* with the Russians and Eng
lish commanding generals. lie verbal
ly renewedithe propositions which had
tieen made by telegraph, and A'hich lb"
Russians had declined to entertain.
General Wogack declined to discucs th<-
question of ownership until the British
had withdrawn from the ground claim
ed by Russia and occupied by his forces.
General Campbell stated that under hi
instruction* he could not withdraw
from the position.
The deadlock, therefore, continues.
Count von Waldersee was visibly de
pressed at the failure to arrange the
question, the seriousness of which he
seemed fully to realize. After un hour
he continued his journey to Peking.
Wananmker on Harrison.
Benjamin Harrison will ever stand
as a rare type of American character.
In the combination of gifts he possessed
in' approached Gladstone nearer than
anj- other American statesman, He
lived m a light that made every ques
tion of duty clear to him, and out of his
clear brain and apt speech he shed '-'fat
on every subject he discussed £ew
men had the epigrammatic expression
that was given to him. Two words
were never spoken by him where one
won' . do*. Strange as it may appear to
tho.- A-ho only knew him in his official
life as President of the United States
tbfre are hosts of his old army coin*
1; ulof other close friends who
1.... ■. . known his personal attract
iveness. When he became President
his personality was merged in an all-ab
sorbing devotion to affairs of state that
left him without a thought or care of
his own principal interests.
By day and by night he was as one
haunted by the heavy responsibilities of
his office. In a cabinet wherein sat the
illustrious Blaine and Windom. he led
them and his associates all in breadth of
vision, keenness of business perception
and immense fidelity to even the most
minute of public affairs. Always saga
cious, fearless and firm, never feeble nor
foolish, with a wisdom of sptech and a
wisdom to act born of a trn. heart, his
life was a glorification ■ > simplicity,
straightforwardness and truthfulness.
If there was anything he hated more
than anything else it was a falsehood.
Never false himself, he was the implac
able foe of falsity in others. He had a
great soul and loved his country. 1 uk
ing together his soldier, senatorial and
presiflc-ntial record, Benjamin Harrison
stands in the highest rank of American
statesmen. Time will show how deep
in the hearts of the people Benjamin
Harrison truly lives.
JOIIN WANAMAKER.
A MEASURE was introduced at Harris
burg last week fixing a penalty of : 10 to
SSO or 90 days' imprisonment for any
merchant, manufacturer, importer, re
tailer or dealer or their agents, salts
men or employees in any kind of mer
chandise to give a customer any ticket,
check, trading stamp or other token or
memorandum entitling such purchaser
to receive any money or other article of
value as inducements to purchasers, to
the injury of legitimate business.
Harrison's Last iJays.
The last intelligent words spoken by
Gen. Harrison were to his wife Tuesday
afternoon, shortly before he lapsed into
total unconsciousness. At that time
Mrs. Harrison asked him if he recog
nized her, and he replied that he did.
At noon of the same day he recognized
his aunt, Mrs. Newcomer, feebly greet
ing her as "Aunty" when she came to
his bedside.
In the sick man's delirium, which
lasted from late Sunday night until he
became totally unconscious Tuesday
afternoon, his mind wandered back over
the great scenes of his life- charging
with his column, or speaking before
some great political convention.
A. L. Mason, a personal friend, in tel
ling of his last call on Gen. Harrison,
just before his last illness, said:
"We conversed on a variety of sub
jects. I had just finished reading his
article on the Boer war and rallied him
by saying that when he should go abroad
the next time he would not be an ac
ceptable guest at the English court. He
answered with great quickness, I can go
to see Kruger.' He talked for a time
about the Presbyterian creed. He was
the chairman of the committee on re
vision. He took up the Cuban question,
llis point on this was that we bad placed
ourselves in a position before the world
where our sincerity iu dealing with
Cuba could justly be questioned. He
was emphasizing his former statement
that the moral law bound the honor of
nations as well as of individuals. His
reference to the Philippines and Porto
Rico matters expressed surprise that the
Supremc court of the United States had
not yet handed down its decision.
"Later the conversation turned on
trusts. He said he had very definate
ideas on the regulation of trusts, and
believed that the problem is fairly with
in the reach of legislation that would
commend itself to the common sense of
a'l good people. He quoted at length
from memory from the articles of in
corporation of the steel trust, and ex
pressed a belief that a corporation
should not be admitted to do business
in any State unless it carried on its
principal busines in the State where it
was organized and was an actual and
bona fide corporation of that State, not
only in law but in fact. He remarked
that many of the great trust combina
tions organized under the laws of New
Jersey transacted no business in that
State and were not intended to transact
any business there.
Burning of The Pittsburg; ivxpo.
The "Point'' in Pittsburg was tie
scene of a great fire last Sunday 111''ru
ing which originated in a French Haw
Felt works on Duquewio St.. and spread
over a livery stable and two lumber
yards, and then across the trcet to
main buildiuK of the Pittsburg Expo.,
which was gutted in about twenty mill
| utes.
During the tire one firemen was
caught in a coil of electric wires and
instantly killed; several others wen
hurt; twelve mules were burned to
death 111 the livery stable. The Expo
will be rebuilt immediately.
Capt. Brown, superintendent of the
bureau of building inspection, says the
fire at the Exposition was a l< on.
Speaking of the remarkable rapidity
with which the flames ate up the big
building, he said, "In this City the
theatres which hold, on a very liberal
average, about 2,.'>00 people, ai d have
several fire exits, take from five to eight
minutes to empty. There has been
many a time when this building that
burned down was packed with betwe. >1
10,000 and 15,000 people There nri
only seven fire exits, I think, to it. <>n
Sunday when the roof caught fire until
nolxxly could have lived in-id those
walls, was only twenty minutes at the
most. Think what would have hap
p< ned hud, there been thousand" of pto tilt
in there. 1 have always insisted on fire
exits there and no loose chair.- around
on the floor to create a panic. Tin
building ought to be a fireproof one
when it i* rebuilt."

C. E. MILLER,
THE SHOE MAN OF BUTLER
WARTS AND WEEDS.
THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN
WISHING AND WORKING.
It is popularly believed that warts can
be wished away. But the fanner who
sat down and tried to clear his field by
wishing the weeds away would soon find
his crops gone. It takes working to get
rid of weeds, and the man with the hoe
must put in many a long day before he
can take a well earned rest.
It is a singular fact that a great many
people treat certain forms of disease as
warts are said to be treated—by wishing.
This is especially so in the ease 6f
coughs. "I wish this cough didn't
bother me so," they say. "1 wish my
cough didn't keep me awake so much,"
and so on. It never seems to occur to
them that it takes active measures to get
rid of a cough ; that a cough is like a
weed, growing right along, and the
longer it grows the deeper it strikes its
roots.
If a man heard the alarm of a rattle
snake near by he'd jump aside at
to avoid the attack and then seek to
find and destroy the dangerous reptile.
The cough is a danger alarm as much
more significant than the rattle of the
snake as the disease it heralds is more
dangerous than the snake bite.
FEW PEOPLE ARE KILLED
by snake bites each year. Consumption
slays its thousands and tens of thousands
annually and it is the fatality of con
sumption which makes the cough that
heralds it a danger signal tc be promptly
heeded. Don't wish the cough would
stop. Stop it !
«I had long been a sufferer from
chronic catarrh of the head," says Clias.
T. Stone, Esq., of Whitford, Chester
Co., Pa. "About last May it developed
into a very disagreeable and hacking
cough, with soreness and fullness of the
chest. Doctors here pronounced it bron
chitis. I tried several doctors and took
different remedies without receiving any
benefit whatever. I then consulted Dr.
R. V. Pierce, in reference to my case.
The first bottle of his 'Golden Medical
Discovery ' stopped the cough. I useil
several bottles, with Dr. Sage's Catarrh
Remedy, and have since had no symp
tom of a return of the cough."
« Last spring I hail a severe attack of
pneumonia which left me with a very
nad cough, and also left my lnngs in a
very t»ad condition," writes John M.
Russell, Esq., of Brent, Cherokee Nat.,
Ind. Ter. "I had no appetite and was
so weak I could scarcely walk. My
breast was all sore with running sores.
I got two bottles of Dr. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery which I believe saved
my life. I cannot express my gratitude
to you. lam able now to do very good
work."
The surest way to stop a cough is to
use Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis~
covery. It cures obstinate and deep
seated cough*, bronchitis, bleeding of
the lungs and other diseases of the
organs o? respiration, which if neglected
or unskilfully treated find a fatal ter
mination in consumption. In hundreds
of cases a cure has been effected by
the use of « Golden Medical Discovery "
after all other means and medicines had
failed to benefit and doctors had said,
"There is no hope."
DON'T GIVE UP HOPE.
Let every one who suffers from respir
atory and pulmonary diseases cherish
hope until Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery has been given a fair and
faithful trial. It always helps. It al
most always cure*. Ninety-eight per
cent, of those who use " Golden Medical
Discovery " find in it a perfect and per
manent cure. Even the two per cent,
acknowledge benefit and help from the
use of the medicine.
" I want to say a word in
favor of your grand medi
cine," writes Mrs. Priscilla
Smail, of Leechburg, Arm
strong County, Pa. "About
thre* years ago I was taken
with a bad cough; had
night - sweats ; would take
coughing spells and have to
sit up in bed at night for
an hour at a time. When
I would walk up hill I
could hardly breathe;
would get all stopped up
in my throat. I aid not
try any doctor but I saw
.the advertisement of Dr.
Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery and decided to
try it. I took three bottles
which cured me. When
ever people tell me they
are sick I say to them,
* Why don't you get Dr.
Pierce's medicine? It cured
me and will cure others.' "
A GREAT FREE OFFER.
Persons suffering from chronic forms
of disease are invited to consult Dr.
Pierce by letter, free. All letters are
held as private and their contents guard
ed by the same strict professional privacy
observed by Dr. Pierce in personal con
sultations at the Invalids' Hotel and
Surgical Institute, Buffalo, N. Y. Ad
dress Dr. R. V. Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y.
This offer is not to be confounded
with those offers of "free medical ad
vice," which are made without any evi
dence of medical qualification or profes
sional standing. For more than thirty
years Dr. Pierce, as chief consulting
physician to the Invalids' Hotel and
Surgical Institute, of Buffalo, N. Y., as
sisted by his medical staff of nearly a
score of physicians, has treated and
cured many thousands of men and
women who had been given up by
friends and physicians as incurable.
Dr. Pierce's success has been founded
on the fact that he cures so-called "in
curables." There are thousands of men
and women to-day, living in the enjoy
ment of perfect health, who bless the
day when they wrote the first letter to
Dr. Pierce. Who can wonder that these
people are enthusiastic over Dr. Pierce's
rnenicines and advice? Write to Dr.
Pierce. It may be to you as it has been
to many others—the first step to health.
Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
contains no alcohol and is entirely free
from opium, cocaine and all other nar
cotics. It is a true body-building, flesh
forming, strength-giving medicine.
Sometimes a dealer tempted by the
little more profit paid by less meritori
ous preparations, attempts to sell a sub
stitute medicine as "just as good" as
Dr. Pierce's. The only way in which to
get the cunt you seek is to insist upon
the medicine which cured others, Dr.
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery.
