I'HK CITI/.KN. | WTLLIAM O. NF.GLF.Y - • Pnt>U»hrr THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 2S, 1901. $1.60 per year is Advance, Otherwise $1.30. Vote on the Amendments. The official returns of the recent vote in Pennsylvania were announced la-t Thursday. The total vote was unusual for an off year and was many thousands ahead of the off election in I*oo The fact o? strongest interest is the vote on the Constitutional amendments. It was 88 follows: No. I—Yes, 213,79*; no. 4.5.601. \'o 2—Yes, 194.053; no, 41,203. No.' 3-Yes, 180.521; no, While the total vote for the amend ments fell far below the total vote for the candidates, that was to be expected. Voters simply did not take the trouble to mark tbeir tickets. Another illus tration of this negligence is seen in the smaller vote for the second amendment. , which was closely related to the fir=t. Over 25,000 electors who voted for the first neslected to vote for the second. The further reduction on the third is explained partly by the same inatten tior and largely by the fact that at the last moment in some of the counties a fight was made against it, on the ground that the possible introduction of voting machines under its permission would increase county expenditures. Having been agreed to by two Legisla tures and published according to the con stitutional law, these proposals have now passed the final requirements of the Constitution, which says: "If such amendment or amendments shall be approved by a majority ot those voting thereon, such amendment or amend ments shall become a part ol tha Con stitution." The importance of the new additions is great. The first amendment opens the way for personal registration, which is the reform most needed in the politics of the State. The second says that laws regulating and requiring the registra tion of electons may be enacted to apply to cities only. The third amendment permits the introduction of voting ma chines. Now will come the work of getting the right registration law from the Leg. isiature. By it alone can the vote of the citiea be purified. With this secur ed the wholesale padding of lists can not be done. Registration for the counties—in which the corrupt vote is not large—and the question of voting machines are small in comparison with the registration law for the cities. The supreme gratification is that a great gain has been made towards an honest ballot in Pennsylvania. On Friday, Senator Allison announced that, in his opinion, there will be no important reciprocity agreements passed through Congress at this session. The fact that he made this statement after a long conference with President Roose velt was coneidered significant. The President has been hanging in the balance on the question of tariff re vision. He has seemed to favor that policy, as well as the policy of reciproc ity. He has called the leaders of the party to the White House at various times to get their views, and the an nouncement of Senator Allison, made would indicate that the leaders who are against tariff legislation had swung the President to their way of thinking Senator Allison also said be believes a Nicaraguan canal bill will pass Free itural Mall Delivery. The Postoffice Department ianow giv ing special attention to the introduction of free mail delivery in the rural dis tricts, this branch of the service having passed beyond the experimental stage, and its practibility and utility establish ed to the entire satisfaction of those in charge of this new feature of the postal service. Judging from some remarks made by Postmaster General Smith, a short time since, this branch of the ser vice is to receive a notable extension Already, according to this authority,the poetofilce had been carried to the doors of 31,000,000 of the population who live in the cities and large towns of the United States, but the large problem remains of carrying the mails to the doors of 21,000,000 Americans who live on the farms. He recalled the fact that within the last two years the service had been ex tended over a territory lanrer than that of all England. Before the fiscal year is closed the sevice will have been carried over 8,000 routes, bringing the postoffice to the doors of more than 6,000,000 people, and reaching one-third of the population it is intended to furnish with the improved postal facilities. This is making progress with celerity for, of course, the amount of territory to be covered by the extension of free delivery in the rural districts is a weigh ty factor in the problem. It is much easier to reach a million people in the thickly populated centers than a tenth of that number in sparsely settled dis tricts. Concord Township. A little son came to gladden the home of Fred Bauers and wife last week. A strong and unexpected vein of gas was struck last Wednesday in a well be longing to T. N. Barn*dall, located ou the farm of A. S. Hindman. The gas took fire and in a few minutes the der rick and belt house were reduced to ashes. John Lewis now occupies his new house at Hill Dale, the new oil town near the Murtland schoolhouse. Nearly every farmhouse within reach of the new oil field is filled to its ut most capacity with boarder*, and yet there are many men in the field who are * obliged to travel from 2 to 8 miles to their boarding places Hooker Lodge, No 24, K. 15. S.. will hold its annual election of officers 011 the third Friday night of Dec. A full turnout of the members is earnestly de cited The lodge is in excellent condi tion and tho order is gradually increas ing in membership. Numerous persons of late have been canvui-sing the township looking for suitable locations on which to locate ho tels. barns, etc. It looks »s if Hooker ii to become the center of the field and if locations can lie obtained will doubtless soon be a booming oil town. Large numbers of sheep have been killed and wounded by dogs, and by a queer coincidence a nnmber of dogs that never left home have yielded up the ghost.

Stone has not been satisfied the way things political have been going in Pittsburg for some time, as the Olivers and Bigelows were gradually securing control of all the sources of political power, and so after making Record-r A. M. Brown tempting offers to resign, and meeting with refusals, he, on Thursday last, sent the following letters by a special messenger to Pittsburg: Commonwealth of Penn'a., Executive Department. Harrisbnrg. Pa., Nov. 21, 1901. Hon. A. M Brown: Dear Sir—By virtue of authority vest- 1 ed in me by law I hereby remove you as I Recorder of the city of Pittsburg. Very respectfully, William A Stone. Governor of Penn svlvania. Harrisburg, Pa., Nov. 21, 1901. Joseph O. Brown, E-q., Dear Sir—By virtue of authority vest- j ,ed in me by law. I hereby appoint you Recorder of the city of Pitt-burg, \ice A. M Brown, removed Very respectfully, William A Stone, Governor of Penn sylvania. This action of the Governor caused a commotion in Pittsburg, as it meant the reinstatement of the friends of Wil liam Flinn, as the city government, and the dismissal of the men Major Brown had appointed during his six months as Recorder. The gist of the whole matter seems to be Gov. Stone's ambition to be Urited States Senator, and he seems to have been holding the power put in his hands by the "Ripper" law as a club over the head of Quay to force him to agree to his schemes, and failing to secure any promises Irom that source, went back to Flinn, or at least lived np tc some previous agreement with him. Quay promptly disavowed all re sponsibility for the Governor's action, Elkin put in a mild disavowal, while the Olivets and Bigelows hinted at bribery and corruption. But Quay made William Stone Governor of Penn sylvania, and in doing so, turned down Chas. W. Stone, then one of the leaders in Congress: and not only that but fol lowed Chas W. into his own Congress ional district and, with the aid of the Standard Oil Co., ruined him political ly, so we cannot see that Quay can be held blameless if blame there be, and in fact this whole affair is but another dis closure of the low standard that has preyailed in the politics of the state for many a year. Accompanying his letters of dismissal arid appointment, Gov. Stone sent an address "to the people of Pittsburg in which he states that Major Brown s wholesale removals of officials were r.ot in accord with the spirit of the law, nor his (Stone's) intentions, particularly his removal of a number of old soldiers, for political reasons, and against his (the Gov's protest), and that he is not a can didate for D S. Senator -and then he added a remarkable postcript denying receiving $150,000 for signing some bills —the exposure of which was threatened by Bigelow. Major Brown denied Gov. Stone's charges, and stated that the Gov had asked him to make certain changes, and never protested against any of his re movals. On MonSay, J. O. Brown took the oath of office, and reappointed some of the old officials ousted by A. M. Brown; Quay's friends are calling upon John Elkin, Attorney General by appoint ment of Gov. Stone, and candidate for Governor, to resign; and what will fol low—what effect Stone's apparent break with Qnay, and alliance with Flinu, will have on the politics of the party in the state, remains to be seen. Hunting Stories. As Henry Matteson, of Venango Co , was sta'ting on a hunt, a few days ago, his gun was accidentatly discharged, the shot striking the inner side of the left arm and ranging npward towards the shoulder, splintering the bone im mediately below the joint. Deer appear to be quite numerous. A number have been killed in the north eastern part of Venango Co. The banner score was made by Oscar Lamey, of Oakland twp. and three Oil City hunt ers. On Wednesday they brought in four, the largest fieiog a 20:}-ponn- t jveen the Allegheny and the headwaters of Horse Creek, in the red brnsh thickets Bear are very plenty in Clearfield Co. this year. D J. Gingery informs us that on a recent visit to Penfield he saw five large skins stretched on the exterior of DeLong's lumber camp on the Pen field road, and was informed that ijtV) had been offered for the skins. Jotrial. A Suggestion. Ml'.. KIJITOK:— I noticed by a brief announcement in one of our local j apeis recently that the term of our present Judge is soon to expire and that, it will become our duty tc select and elect his successor —a few names, too. are sub mitted as possible aspirants for t.be po sition. Upon re flee'ion it occurs to me that it might be quite as well for.us to waive onr right, under the law, to make an election to that office. During the offi cial term of our present incumbent J. M Greer—a period of nearly nine years —wo have had the pleasure of hiving most of the Judges of western and southern Pennsylvania administer the law to us. During this time at letgt a dozen of onr neighlioring Judtres have been with us. On the first, week of the term just completed one of our neigh bors was here: th" rext week another gentleman was here. Ho took charge on Monday and remained all week i'o is a clever gentleman and got along nicely while our local Judge was e.tr/i --ing his wilary by spending his time 011 the street and in "his chamber*, shaking hands with the voters -with H view to the Republican prirnari 1 nt x'. J tin" Our neighboring Judges are now i quite fituiiliar with the business of onr Courts, with our Court officer!, the members of «.ur Bar and with our jso ple. They can have an understand!)),.: with each other. They can easily rim our business by having an understand ing ns to rotation (as they teem to have luid in the jKi-t). By ail means let tie give them H trial. Onr legal dispute are, indeed, few and comparatively ini important I am sure we will be gainers by this improvement in our present practice. < )HSKFLV KB.

Butler has a number of interesting old folks who today are giving thanks for four score years or more which the Lord has permitted them to live on this earth.

In December of last year the Judge, as he is universally known, had a paralytic stroke which his friends feared for a time would be fatal, but his health is now good, the stroke ef fecting him only in the right arm an 1 side. He still enjoys life, reading ui»l receiving visits from old friends and is as ever a good humored philosopher This is shown by his learning to write with his left hand after losing the use, of his right.

When the stomach and the al lied organs of digestion and nutrition are diseased the nutrition contained in food is imperfectly extracted and the body fails of nutrition adequate to its needs. The shipwrecked sailor living upon scraps in which there is no nutri tion is on a level with the man who eats abundant nutritious food but whose stomach with its allied organs is dis eased and therefore fails to extract from the food eaten the nutrition which ia the body's need. SOUND STOMACH, SOUND MAN. * That is almost an axiom. The man with a sound stomach and good diges tion will in ordinary be a sound man, because the nutriment of food is the life and strength of heart, lungs, liver, kid neys and every organ of the body. The first need of a weak man is to look after his stomach and his digestion. There is the common seat of physical weakness. How-weak men have been made strong; strong of heart, liver, lungs, kidneys, aud other organ# by being made strong of stomach and strong 01 di gestion has been told thou sands of times by those ; who have used Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. "I write to tell you of the great benefit I have re ceived from the use of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery," writes Mr. G. B. Bird, of Byrnside, Putnam Co., W. Ya". "It cured me of a very bad case of indi gestion associated with tor pid liver. Before I beqan the use of' Golden Medical Discovery ' I had no appe tite ; could not sleep nor work but very little. The k little that I ate did not , agree with me, bowels con stipated, and life -was a misery to me. I wrote to Dr. Pierce giving the symp toms, and asked for advice. You advised me to try the ' Golden Med ical Discover)-' so I began the use of it and after taking four bottles I felt so well that I went to work, but soon got worse, so I again began the use cf it and used it about eight weeks longer, when I was permanently cured. I took in all twelve bottles of the ' Discover)-' and some of Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets in connection with the ' Discover)-.' " Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discov esy cures diseases of the stomach and other organs of digestion and nutrition. It cures through the stomach diseases which seem remote from that organ but which have their origin in disease of the stomach and its allied organs. There is no alcohol in " Golden Med ical Discovery" and it is entirely fre« from opium, cocaine and other narcotics. Persons suffering from disease in chronic form are invited to consult Dr. Pierce by letter, free. All letters held as strictly private and sacredly confi dential. Address Dr. R. V. Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y. There is no similar offer of free con sultation by letter or free medical ad vice which has behind it an institution such as the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute, Buffalo, N. Y. There is no similar offer of free medical advice which has l>ehind it a physician of Dr. Pierce's skill and success. In a little more than thirty years Dr. as chief consulting physician to the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute, assisted by his staff of nearly a score of physicians, has treated and cured hun dreds of thousands of men and women.
