M., Saturday, January 25th. Concord twp.— At Middletown Sat urday, Jan. 25, beginning at 1 p.m. Jefferson twp.—At Jefferson Centre.

IS, from 1 to 7 p.m. Fairview twp. —At Election House at Kama City, 1 to 5 p.m. POLITICAL^ To Elkin or not to Elkin—that's the question with Quay Redivivus. At the meeting of the Butier-West mjreland Congressional Committees, last Saturday, nothing was done, and the Committees adjourned to meet at gams placa —Duquesne Hotel, Pittsbnrar, —ne*t Saturday. The Westmoreland county men sub mitted two propositions to the Butler men —one that a delegate for each 2000 Republican voters be elected in each county to the Congressional Convention: and the other that the popular vote of the whole district be taken for each can didate—but neither of these propositions was accepted by the Bntler men. This last proposition is the one we have always advocated in making Con gressional nominations, for the candi date then receives his nomination from the whole party in the district, and is under no obligations to the professional politicians of either county In this case Westmoreland is much the greater county in populate, and casts 15,000 Republican votes to our 0,050, but being the larger county the chances are that she will always have the most candidates, and it is ridiculous to suppose that a first class man in either county can not seenre votes in the other county: and (should abuses spring up the remedy remains where it belongs—in the hands of the people. The Republican County Committee of Lawrence county declared against Elkin's nomination, for Governor; and the Indiana County Committee (Elkin's home county; declared for him, Monday. The Republican Convention in Pitts burg, Tuesday night, nominated Jos. E Lewis for City Controller. The fight between Lewis and Larkin will be in teresting, and perhaps control the nom ination for Governor. The action of the Republican Com mittee of Lawrence county—a Quay county—in refusing to endorse Elkin for Governor, looks as though Matthew the First was not in favor of John the First, at this time. Senator Quay is quoted by a Pittsburg visitor as saying lately: "The books between Governor Stone and me are closed. "I nominated and elected him and he has returned the service, so we are quits. lam not going to quarrel with him, as I have no quarrel of my own, but I am clearly of the opinion that as much attention should 1*- paid to the legislative situation as to the candidate for governor this year. One depends upon the other. If we nominate a candidate for governor, who will bring on us a desperate tight, it will not be possible to elect a Republican legisla ture or a stalwart United States sena tor." "The election of Larkin would make it peremptory that the Republican or ganization in the state should take some other candidate than Mr. Elkin "If I owe anything to a man in the state organization, it is to John P. El kin." "When I was embroiled in battles throughout the state and the organiza tion was fighting for its existence against Mr. Flinn and his fellow in surgents, Elkin led the fight. He is the best organizer in our ranks But it will not do sacrifice the legislature and possibly the state ticket, too, to gratify his ambitions. "The election of Larkin in Pittsburg would be construed through.the state as a repudiation of the governor's arrange ment svith the Pittsburg organization. Even a close vote would predicate dis aster to the state ticket. In that event, I can see nothing to do but to stop factional fighting and select some can didate of broad party feeling, who could command the whole strength of the organization. The control of the next legislature is as important as the elec tion of a governor. If I owe an obli gation to Mr. Elkin I do not owe a less one to my colleague, Boies Penrose, and I am as much interested in the legisla ture as I am in the governorship." LEGISLATURES are parsing resolu tions favoring the election of United States Senators by direct vote. It is the same old thing over again. Every body favors it, and then when the mat ter reaches the Senate it is pigeonholed. The explanation is easy. If Senators were elected by direct vote many of the present members would be enjoying private life. • WASH IXGTON NOT K.N. The supplementary report of the Isth mian canal commission deciding unani mously that, under the changed condi tions existing since the offer made by the French company to sell its rights and property for $10,000,000, the Pana ma route is the most practicable and feasible route for an isthmian canal, was the topic most under discussion in Congressional circles this week. HThe beet sugar people had their hear ing before the Presidents n Saturday in opposition to any reduction in-the duty 011 raw l>eet sugar coming in from Cuba, and on Monday the cane sugar "produc ers of the soutli were before him. In the House. Monday, a proposition to appropriate $40,000 for the entertain ment of Prince Henry brought on a spicy talk. BILLS are to bo introduced in Con gress asking for the reserving of the cliff-dwellers country in Colorado and New Mexico and the petrified forests in Arizona as National parks, similar to the Yellowstone and Yosemite. A New Trolly Li:;*;. An exemplification of record of the minutes of the Evergreen Street Kail way Co of Pittsburg has been filed which states that a meeting of the stock holders, R. S., A. C., and Thomas M. Latimer, David E. Wilbert and Jacob Shrock, held Jan. 10. 1002, they decided to extend their line over the following ruutes in Butler county: from Allegheny City via the Evergreen and I'errysviilo plauk roads, through Wexford, through Cranberry twp.. Harmony and Zelien ople. Lancaster and Muddycreek twps. Stamford and thence west to New Castle, returning to Allegheny City over the suae route. From Stamford a second branch will run eastward on the Butler —New Cattle pike to Bntler, pass through town on Jefferson St. and uut the Kittanning pike to Kittanning, returning over the same route. From Stamford the lines will probably run up tin* Yellowcreek valley to Portersville before striking west to New Castle and will have to run northeast to Prospect before striking the road for Butler. It this road is built it will be just the sort of a developer the western i<art of iho county needs Stamford is the location of tti" Y< llowcreek creamery near the Muddy c: k and Lancaster township lines. Fatal Burnings, Miss Lizzie McCandlesa, second ■' daughter of Judge A. McCandless, deed., was fatally burned at the old p homestead in Butler township. last i Saturday morning. o Miss Lizzie was upstairs at the time, making the I*HIS. when she brushed too . near the coal fire in the grate and her ' apron took tire. Her mother, who was , lying sick in the room below, heard her tramping heavily, and called to her j sister. Mary, to go np stairs, that some- c thing was the matter. Mary ran up t and' fonnd Lizzie standing speechless f and bewildered with her clothes all g aflame. She threw her upon the bed ar;d pulled bed clothing over her and smothered the flames and another sister • carried water and threw it on the hang logs of the room which were afire in * several places. Lizzie was terriblj , burned abont the IKXIV and limbs, and | suffered greatly, until death released j i her Monday night. She was about to ' years of age. and will be buried 111 South Cemetery, Butler, today. ( Miss Sadie Beers, aged 24. years, a daughter of Alex Beers of Evans City, was so badly burned last Saturday afternoon, that she died that night. She and her mother had completed t the house work, and Miss Sadie went up stairs to dress, while her mother went out on the porch. Shortly after ( Miss Sadie came rushing down stairs with her clothes all aflame and rnn out i upon the porch. Her mother caught ] her and threw a piece of carpet over her * and a neighbor threw water upon her. and she was carried into the house, but nearly all her clothing had been burned ( from her bodv and she lingered in asrony , till about 3 o'clock that night, when ; death relieved her. . , The peculiar part of the tragedy is that there was no fire in the upper story of the building, and nobody could tell i from what source the fire originated. > though it is supposed she stepped upon a match. She had no idea herself, and asked how it all happened. She is very highly spoken of by those j who knew her, was a sister of Mrs. Walter Galbreath of Butler, and her death was a terrible blow to her parents. OIL NOTES.

J. H. Bell assistant and Edith Rohrer secretary and treasurer. Then school had an average attendance of .<) scholars and they contributed for mis sion work §305.00 or .$4.33 per scholar. We believe there is not a Sabbath School in the Butler Presbytery that can show such a record, in fact I doubt if there is another school in the county that has made such a contribution for the sending out of the Gospel.

ANOTHER BIG CUT IN PRICES AT TVYiller's • When we announced to the public we were going to try and make the after part of this season equal the forepart we had little idea we could bring this month up to December's I business, which was the largest one month's business we have had since starting, but our books show for the first two weeks of this month a business almost as large as the first two weeks of last month and more than twice as large as any previous jear for the same time. We have always commenced taking stock January 10, but this year we'll have to postpone stock taking till people get through buying shoes. The Slaughter of Prices and Good Goods Kept Us Hustling. Shrewd buyers were quick to avail themselves of the great bargains we are offering, and we think we must have shod the majority of the people of Butler county the last two or three weeks, but tcr fear we have missed some of them we are going to offer still greater inducements, and for the next 30 days We Want to Sell Every Pair of Shoes Sold in Butler.
