FRANK G. HARRIS. FOR DISTRICT ATTORNEY, E. E YOUNG. FOR CLERK OP COURTS, W. H. CAMPBELL. FOR COUNTY SURVEYOR, B. F. HILLIAKD. POLITICAL. At the meeting of the Democratic Connty Committee in Butler, last Sat urday, James A. McKee of Butler ten dered his resignation as the Democratic nominee for Clerk of Courts; and his resignation was accepted, and George M. Graham of Connoquenessing twp. was placed on the Democratic ticket, in his stead. On Tuesday the nomination papers of the "Union'' party were filed with the County Commissioners. They con tain the names of "George M. Graham, teacher, Connoquenessing twp., for Clerk of Courts, and "John R Hennin ger, lawyer, Bntler." for District Attor ney. These papers are signed by over twe hnndred yoters, some of whom are Re publicans, w hose action is a surprise to us. The Republican nominations of this county for this year were made more fairly than were those of last year; and countenancing "fusion" this year may mean confusion next, when nearly every Republican in the county will be interested in the fortunes of one or other of the numerous candidates. Mark Twaiß is taking part in the great contest now raging for the mayor alty of New York city, and savs he has already made one convert to Seth Low by convincing a policeman that there is "No authentic record of any Tammany man ever having gone to Heaven." NEW LAWS. The pamphlet laws of Pennsylvania for the year 1901, with the index, make a book of 1013 pages, and as some four hundred old laws were repealed by the late Legislature, as well as about the same number of new ones made it will be well for our attorneys and justices of the peace to scan the work carefully, both in order to ascertain what is new, and al~o what measure of their previous knowledge has been repealed by this the most extraordinary legislature of modern times. The first law that occupies large •pace in the new book is the one for the government of cities of the second class, generally called the ripper bill. It takes up 29 pages (pp 20 to 4S))of the book:was approved, March 7, 1901, by Gov. Stone and confirmed by the Supreme Court some weeks later —Stone's protege and appointee W. P. Potter, casting the deciding vote. This is the bill that hastened the death of Chris. Magee, and disfranchised a hundred thousand voters of this Com monwealth for two years, as the schedule does not provide for an elec tion for Recorder until the ye ar 1903. The next long law in the book is the one relating to negotiable instruments. It occupies twenty-six pages (pp 194 to 220) of the book. It is said to complete ly cover the subject, was compiled by the State Bar Association, and took ef fect Sept. Ist last. It >8 of primary in terest to bankers and money lenders, and should be carefully read by all law yers. The next lengthy law is one regard ing cities of the :td class, some 88 pages, which is of no interest to us at present: then comes the new game law (302 to 319) a synopsis of which we have pub lished; and the new tax lien law (304 to 403) which makes taxes a first Hen on all property, before any other obligation, repeals a large number of lo cat and special laws and establishes a new system of collecting um'uicip.'d claims. The Act relating to insolvency, vol untary assignments, etc, occupies twen ty pages of the book, and repeals some general and special laws The new mechanics and materials lien act occupies 38 pages, repeals all gener al and special laws on the subject, and is intended to furnish a complete and exclusive system in itself so far as re lates to liens for labor and materials The new plumber's license act goes into details ami occupies seventeen pages. The new compulsory school law is the next long law of general importance. We have printed it fnll in our paper and also in pamphlet form and yet hr ve some copies on bands, which we offer to school boards at 75 cents per hundred copies. A copy of it should lie in every home in the state. The new laws regarding the collec tion of taxes and liens are modeled after those of New York, Ohio and other states (which seem to have outstripped us in the science of law makiugj and start ont with definitions of the princi pal words nsed in the text of the act. THE cash balance of the National Government, Monday, was the enormous sum of £1,190,000,000. That is the larg est balance the United States or any Government ever had It is a fresh evidence that this is really a billion dollar country, it is the more remark able becanse it is only three years since the close of a foreign war that was de cidedly expensive while it lasted.

O ) and as the drillers say the rock forma tion in that vicinity is the same as at the latter place, it promises to become an oil town the centre of a Speechly sand field. For some days past the leasers have been flocking out from Butler in that direction, it not being extraordinary for six leasers to put in an appearance at one home dnring the same day. They are leasing a belt from three to four miles wide, on a 45 degree line from the field in Concord twp. This takes in the greater part of Centre twp. and one man of that twp.. who got some money and who was in Butler the other dav. "set it np" for the crowd with a SSO bill.

On the Samuel Glenn farm at Sun burv the Devonion Oil Co. found the Speechley at a depth of 2600 feet but got no oil. They drilled 500 feet deeper but found nothing of any value. Emmet McCatcheon, the junk dealer, sold two leases near Troutman Satur day for $2500. The South Penn has located two wells on the Jaa Campbell well within 200 yards of their Marshall well. This looks as though the Marshall was as good well. Although Barnsdall's well on the Varnum has been reported dry. the derrick has been boar'led up and leasing is going on actively in the vicinity of North Washington. There are claims of third sand oil showing, but nothing authentic is known. CHURCH NOTES. No services were held in the M. E. church Sunday.

Our LegUH ture and Courts are moving in this di rection and our schools should help in the work Many of our school grounds have not one tree on them and we there fore request teachers and pupils to ob serve Arbor Day this year by planting a few trees or in other appropriate ex ercise, where trees are already growing I wish here also to announce two ed ucational meetings which I will hold at the following places: Middle Lunciist' -r, Friday evening October 25 and HarVis ville November 1. at 7:45.

After the prolonged separation of a year when girl school chums meet again, they are apt to put off all conversation of intimate ana private matters until bed-time. Then reviving dormitory days of old they open their hearts and tell the secrets accumulated in twelve long months. And some of these confidences are very sad. It is sad when the girl who was a crack at tennis, could pull an par and swing a golf club has to admit that she has given up all those things because her wick aches 60 incessantly. The pity is that such break-downs are •o common among youn& women. They will continue to be common and to in crease in frequency until the girl is taught that the stability of the general health it founded on the local womanly health. A WOMAN'S WEAKNKSB may be gaged by her womanly health. "Female Weakness" is not a scientific term, but it is n popular term, express ing the result rather than the condition of womanly disease. Weakness must Inevitably follow disease of the delicate womanly organs. Irregujarity is oflen the beginning of more serious ailments. Drains that are at first considered chiefly as disagreeable, will in the end drain away the vigor and vitality of women. The prompt use of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription would save many a woman from years of weakness and suffering. It establishes regularity, dries weaken ing drains, heals inflammation and ul ceration and cures female weakness. It makes weak women strong and sick women well. There is no other put-up medicine for woman's peculiar ills, purchasable rora dealers which lias so remarkable a record of cures as Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. When physicians have said no cure was possible; when all other means and medicines have utterly failed to lienefit " Favorite Prescription " lias been tried and its use has resulted in a perfect and permanent cure. "Your letter just received," writes Miss Rose Kilfetlier, of 43 West Sharp nack St., Germautown, Philadelphia, Pa. "Words fail to express how thank ful lam to you for your advice. I must confess that for the length of time I have l>een using your medicine I have found it to be the most wonderful and liest remedy for female troubles that I ever have tried, and from now 011 I shall use no other. Sorry 1 did not know of your ' Favorite Prescription' years ago, but will gladly tell my friends who are suffering, of your won derful medicine. 1 cannot speak too highly of it" Tn) The CITIZEN FOR JOS WORK W.

There is no claim made for " Favorite Pre scription " which is not backed bv cures. Every statement made as to what this medicine will do is supported by the living evidence of what it has done. It has made weak women strong and sick women well. It has brought back the roses to faded cheeks and the plumpness to shrunken forms. It has given laugh ter for tears, and joy in life for utter misery. What "Favorite Prescription" has done it is doing every day. " A few years ago I suffered severely with female weakness, and had at times dreadful pains," writes Mrs. Mary V. Brown, of Creswell, Harford Co., Md. " I went to my doctor, and he gave me medicine which did me gooii for a while, but I would get worse again. I had a sick headache nearly all the time ; was so weak around my waist could hard'*} bear anything to touch me. My feet would keep cold and I could hardly do my work. I would work awhile and then lie down awhile ; was completely run-down. Suffered from disagreeable discharge and also severe pains at times. After using five bottles of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription, three of his 'Golden Medical Discovery' and one vial of Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets, and following the advice you gave re garding the 'Lotion Tablets,' I can truly say that I am cured." Sick and ailing women are invited to consult Doctor Pierce, by letter, free. All communications held as sacredly confidential and womanly confidences guarded by 6trict professional privacy. Address Dr. R. V. Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y. A great many women have gratefully accepted the opportunity of a free con sultation by letter with Dr. Pierce, as • welcome escape from the Indelicate questionings, the offensive examinations and obnoxious local treatments, thought necessary by some physicians. The modest woman shrinking from these things often lets her diseuse grow and eat into her life rather than submit to a treatment which offends her delicacy. A letter to Dr. Pierce avoids all these offensive practices. If you are persuaded that Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription has cured others, do not allow yourself to lie robbed of a cure by accepting some substitute medi cine pressed on you by the dealer lie cause it pays him a little more profit.
