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hundred old laws were repealed by the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knowledge has been repealed by this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.

Mt. Chestnut.
This noble village is on a 4.">-degree
line from Middletowu Hooker, P. 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.

money and who was in Butler the other
dav. "set it np" for the crowd with a
SSO bill. The bar keeper thonght he
saw a game in the matter and tendered
tlie farmer 4ft silver dollars in change;
and the crowd had another drink.

future farms and homes if our forests
are not l»etter protected. 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,

every day that its better to
pay a little more for clothes
made to measure than to
try to save a few dollars,
simply because the few
thereby saved sacrifices the
value of the clothes. It is

One of the largest manufacturers of wcmea's everv day shoes in the country,
having taken the cjntract to make these goods in a specified time for a big firm and
failing to complete them in alloted time, they countermanded order and bought

ties for handling large amounts of goods, wrote' us at once, offering us the gooes
for less than cos' of leather if we took the whole lot. We had already bought a
large lot of winter goods, but could not resist the (em jtation to take advantage of
this great bargaiu. The goods have arrived and we are going to make this store
the busiest place in Butler county while they last. We want you to see these

BEDFELLOWSHIP.
The Time When Girls Ex
change Confidences.
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"

WHAT WOMEN SAY
about the merits of Dr. Pierce's Favor
ite Prescription is the best testimonial
to its wonderful curative power. 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.
