MONEY AND CRIME.
Keeping large sums of money in one's
house is not a crime, and yet it breeds
crime.
The men who broke into Henry
Smith's house last Thursday night and
assaulted and killed him probably had
some positive information as to the
amount of money concealed in the
house, and they went there prepared to
kill if resisted or recognized; and a«
Mrs. Smith did not recognize either of
them they will probably escape punish
ment unless one of their number
''squeals," as did Walter Dorman in the
Biddle brothers case.
And even where the party is recogniz
ed and the crime fastened upon him by
circumstantial evidence, it has been
found impossible to convict.
Some of our readers will remember
the case of the Commonwealth versus
Chester Hunter, tried in our court here
about nine years ago, or shortly after
Judge Greer took his seat. The man he
assaulted and attempted to rob—George
Hilgar of Slippery rock township— rec
cognized him at the time, recognized
him in court, and had known him from
childhood, and his mother before him;
and some of the neighbors saw bim go
ing towards George Hilgar's house that
day with a club in his bands.
But he pat up some sort of an "alibi,"
upon which Greer laid great stress In
his charge to the jury—perhaps on ac
count of one of bis sons being engaged
on the defense—and though the jury
went out standing 10 to 2 in favor of
conviction, they were kept out all night
and eventually acquitted him, and Hun
ter went back to his haunts in the city,
and a few days after the Pittsburg pa
pers contained accounts of Chester Hu
nter being sent to tbe workhouse for lar
ceny.
The day Hunter was acquitted here
nilgar walked back and forth before
the Court House, accusing Tony Allen
of betraying him, and was told at the
time he should look higher, and we
thought then and think yet that the dis
posal of that case by the court here was
direct encouragement to crime and
criminals of that class.

POLITICAL.
The Westmoreland-Butler Congress
ional committees meet in Pittsburg,
again today.
State politics took a humorous turn,
last week, when both Quay and H. W.
Oliver wired from Florida denials of the
reported "deaL"
Senator William Flinn has retired
permanently from politics. In a state
ment issued a few days ago he announc
ed that he had taken this step and that
in the future his entire time would be
devoted to his extensive business inter
ests. His action came in the nature of
a complete surprise to those who have
not been in touch with the drift of poli
tical affairs. His announcement ex
plains the extent to which he has gone
to make his action final, which is that
he has not only severed all connection
with local politics by resigning from the
Republican City Executive committee
and the Republican County Executive
committee, but that he has also resign
ed his seat in the tipper branch of the
State Legislature.
"Allegheny county's delegation in the
Republican State Convention is to go
uninstrncted. The "Organization is
not friendly to Attorney General John
P. Elkin. But the "Organization' does
not know to whom its kindness shall be
given. It has not the vaguest idea how
much of its corporate body remains or
how soon what little life remains will
be knocked out. Its members are ad
mitting that it cannot deal because it
has nothing to offer better than the
statistics of the last city election, which
showed that with more votes than it
ever had before it is a loser. —Dispatch.
"John P. Elkin be the next Gov
ernor of Pennsylvania. Of that I have
sot the slightest doubt," was the oon
fident declaration of Insurance Commis
sioner Israel W. Durham, the ward
leader of Republican politics of the
Quaker City when he reached home
last Saturday after a three weeks' so
journ in Florida. Mr. Durham and a
party of a dozen or more local Republi
can ward leaders arrived shortly after 1
o'clock in a special Pullman car. Dur
ham at first met his interviewers with a
declaration that politics was not con
sidered on their trip, that they went
absolutely for pleasure and recreation,
and that it had been agreed that the
first man who talked politics was to be
put off the train. Later he loosened up
and let go his interview in favor of
Elkin for Governor.
Another Defeat for the British.
The British army met severe and sud
den defeat in South Africa, last Friday,
and London was almost stunned by the
unexpected announcement. As the re
sult of an offensive attack by tbe Boers
under Gen. de la Rey, Gen Methnen
was wounded in the thigh and captured
and is retained as a prisoner, three
British officers and 38 men were killed,
five British officers and 72 men were
wounded, one British officer and 200
men are missing, and four guns were
taken. The attack by the Boers was
made just before dawn on March 7, be
tween Wynbnry and Lichtenburg,
Orange river colony, upon the British
force of 1,200 men. The Boers capture
all tbe British baggage.

BAH MEETING.
Monday afternoon a meeting of the
liar was called to pay tribute t > the
memory of the late Judge Daniel Agnew
Remarks were uiade by J H. Neg'ev.
J. M. Thompson, Lev McQuistion .■ 11-!
the Court. Attorneys J. H. Neiiley, L
M. Wise, C. G. Christie, Samuel W i!k*-r
and A. C. Trouftuau were appointed n
committee to draft suitable resolnti ns,
a copy of which was ordered sen- ro the
family of the deceased jurist
The resolutions were as follows:
That it is with sincere regret we have
learned of the death of .Turtle Agnew,
who presided over the Court* of our
County for a period of twelve years, to
wit, from 1851 to 18G:( to the great siiti*
faction of our people. On the death of
the then Judge. Hon John Bredin in
May 1851, Judge Aifnew was appointed
an his successor in the district of
Beaver, Butler, Mercer and Lawrence
counties and wan elected in the fall of
the same year for a term of ten years,
being the first Judge elected bv popular
vote, the law having been previously
changed requiring all Judges to be
elected by the people.
That his services upon the Bench in
this county were characterized by em
inent ability, were highly appreciated
and are yet referred to and recalled with
praise by all who remember them.
That the later services 'f Judge
Agnew to his State and country, as a
member of the Sn'preme Court of the
State, were eminently able, wise and
patriotic and entitle his name to the
lasting gratitude and honor of all
citizens
That the personal,the moral character
of Judge Au'uew was also of the highest
and best type. If a model Jndge he
was no less a model man, living a pure
life all his days, above suspicion and
above even the appearance of evil, his
integrity never questioned and his word
never doubted.
He was also a warm and tender heart
ed man,an evidence of which is recalled
on the occasion of the death of the lat<
J Graham Es<j., in 1800, at a meeting (if
the Bar then held. Judge Agnew, in ad
dressing the members was overcome by
his emotions. He was also a yery
scholarly, well rend man Shortly
after his becoming Judge here he was
invited by the member* of the Har to
deliver a lecture and his subject was
"Poetry" which lie treated to the inter
est and amusement of all his many
listeners
That his death at the great age of Oil
years bears evidence of the correctness
of his life, and points to him as an ex
ample worthy for all imitation. It waq
of such a righteous man as he that the
friend of Job foretold when he said,
"Thou shall come to thy grave in a full
age, like as a shock of corn cometh in
in his season."

ease and comfort and the prices .re right.
We Don't Want to Keep Them;
We're Not Selfish
We want every man. women a.id child in Butler to enjoy
them s'f we have put the price within re .ch of all by piving a
very large order and having goods made early while the
factories was s'ack we saved fr >m 10 to 20 per cent
on the goods, and at the same time had fir-t choice of stock.
This enables us to give our customers greater values than ever
before, and the prices are rock bottom.
Walkover Shoes for Women.
* Our great success in handling the men's Walkover shoe
and the frequent calls for ladies' Walkover shoes has led us to
put in connection with our other well-known makes of ladies'
fine shoes a complete line of this very popular m ike of ladies'
fine shoes r.nd oxfords. You should see them. They are
beauties, made over the very swellest new Spring lasts and

shown so large and pretty assortment of men's fine shoes and
oxfords. They come in all the different materials, all sizes
and widths, and are made by some of the foremost manu
facturers of men's fine shoes in the country, including thr fo?-
I lowing well known makes:
Walkover, Douglass and Builtwell,
which are conceded by leading shoe men all over the country
to be the best goods on the market for the money We can
show you three times the variety this year that we have ever
shown before. Come in and see them whether you buy or not.
