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

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

CHANGING BROWNS.
Gov. 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<l
buck, the others ranging from 90 to 120
pounds. All fonr animals were shot b>-
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.

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. Long vears of activity and toil
and the cares and vicissitudes of life
have bowed their forms, whitened their
hair and furrowed their brows, but
tbeir hearts are kept warm and glowing
in eld age by the affection and att-ation
: of children and grandchildren.
The oldest person in town is Mrs
Sarah M Walker, widow ot Nathaniel
Walker, who makes her borne with her
son. Clarence, on the Diamond. Mrs.
Walker is in her 91st year. She his al

express her opinions on them than many
people in their prime. Besides her son ;
Clarence Walker, Esq.. of Butler, she
has three children. Leonidas Walker,
Esq.. of Colorado: Mrs Caroline John-
I ston of Ohio and Maj. Leveritr H. j
j Walker of the 4th U S. Artillery.

large figure, aud white hair, and beard,
were a familiar sight at the corner of
Main and Cunninghom streets, where
Troutman's store now is. He now lives
with his daughter. Mrs. Emma Linn,
on S. McKean St.
Jordan Eyth of Water street is in his
s9th year. Mr. Eyth was born in Ger
many and dnring nearly a lifelong resi
dence in Butler, has been a butcher,

her helplessness Mrs. Muntz's health is
very good.

Patterson and Mrs W. 11. R'.tter. foe
marks of nearly eighty-one years rest
lightly upon her brow and there is
reason to hope and believe she will see

Patterson are daughters of the late

Hon. E McJunkin is nearing the day
(hat will declare him to be eighty-thi
year, of age. 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,

My Wi fc.
They say <f our beloved dead,
Should seek the old familiar place,
Some stranger would be there instead
And they would find no welcome face.
1 cannot tell how it might be
It! othtr homfs, but this I know,
Could my lo j t wifo come back to me
That she wonhl never find it so.
tJit-times the flowers have coma and
gone,
Oftimes the winter winds have blown.
The while her peaceful rest went on
And I have learned to live alone.
How slowly from dav to day
In all life's tasks to bear my part;
Bat whether grave or whether gay,
I bide her memory in my heart.
Fond, faitful love has blest my ways.
And friends around are Irue and tried;
They have their place but hers today
Is empty as the lay she died.
How would I sprint: with bated breath
Aud joy too deep for word or sign.
To take my wifo away from Death,
And once ;'L'aiti to call her mine.
I dare not dream the blissful dream;
It fills 1113' heart with wild unrest
Where"yonder cold nioonlieanis gleam
She still must slumber; God knows best.
But this I know that those who say
Our best beloved would find no place.
Have never hungered every day
Through years and years for one sweet
face. ALEX M. HAYS.

Finding a Fortune and
Founding a Fortune.
A TRAMPS LICK AND AX EN
ERGETIC MAN'S PURPOSE.
It is perhaps true as told that • tramp,
•earching a garbage barrel for scraps of
refuse food, found a fortune in good
United States currency. Such a thing
may happen.
But the workman who gives up a
steady occupation however unremuner
ative to hunt garbage barrels for a fort
une will surelv degenerate to a tramp.
There is a difference between finding a
fortune and founding a fortune. Few
men chance upon fortunes. The fort
unes we know about are not found but
founded on a certain substantial basis.
Tte nature of that basis of fortune is
well set forth in the advice given by a
successful merchant to a young man
who asked, "What is the first requisite
to making a fortune?" "The first re
quisite to making a fortune" said the
rich man, "is health." "The idea that
fortunes are made suggests toil and in
dustry and skill. Nothing can be made
without these. But a weak man cannot
toil, aud industry is incompatible with
ill-health. If you want to be strong
remember that' all physical strength
comes from food and that the amount of
strength extracted from food depends
upon the ability of the stomach to di
fest food and assimilate its nutrition,
he man who takes care of his digestion
is, in general, taking care of every other
organ of his body."
SUCCESS AND THE STOMACH.
The merchant who gave the above
opinion may not have been much of a
physician but he was a good deal of a
philosopher. He had seen men with
success almost within the grasp, hreak
down because of "stomach trouble."
He had theorized the saying that the
"weakest must go to the wall" into the
saying that "the man with the weakest
stomach must go to the wall," because
no man is stronger than his stomach.
The man who will learn this lesson of
success has taken a great stride to his
goal. Health is the first prerequisite of
success and health in general means a
tound stomach and a good digestion.
Look at the logic of the matter. Food
is a man's life, his strength. Physical
life is sustained by food. But the fact
that a thing can 1* eaten doesn't make
it food. Many a physician practising in
the tenements of a city says of failing
men or women, "What they need is
nourishing food." Shipwrecked men
eat scraps of leather, the bark of trees,
anything to satisfy hunger. But this is
not food in any true sense because it
contains no nutrition. All food must
be considered in relation to its nutritive
PROFESSIONAL CARDS.

value. 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.
