Our State Constitution for bids the Pennsylvania from buying a controlling interest in it or any- other "parallel and competing" road, but the Pennsylvania now controls the B. & O. and the latter is said to have purchased a controlling interest in the Reading: the idea being to head off the Goulds, who are now getting into Pittsburg,and are aiming to secure a line to New York. The state troops are yet camping on the Shenandoah. The miners will not work at present wages, the operators will not increase them, and say there ia. nothing to arbitrate, and there is some talk of GO7. Stone calling the State Leg islature into extra session for the pur pose of passing a compulsory arbitra tion bill. The constitutional right of the legis lature to pass such a bill is questioned, and among the views of different mem bers of the present legistarure publish ed in Monday s Pittsburg Times, one member, while stating that he would favor any constitutional measure, points out that it must be borne in mind that our constitution forbids the regula tion of trade, and that he has grave doubts as to whether any legislation could be agreed upon in time to be of use in settling the present strike. An other member declares that If Governor Stone and his Attorney General will ap prove of a measure that they think will stand the test of constitutionality and that can be passed by the Legislature, then he will favor an extra session. A year ago, last Saturday, Sept. 6, 1901, President McKinley fell by the hand of an assassin at the Buffalo Expo. Since that time Theodore Itocsevelt has been President; and he has develop- ed remarkable strength and versatility. He lately made a trip through New England, and his speeches were so ex plicit as to make an excellent exposition of tenets for tbe Republican party. Now he is on a brief tour through the southern states, where he is being warmly welcomed, and his speeches lis tened to attentively. He says things on all public questions and particularly about the trusts. At Wheeling the "keynote of his speech was that the remedy must be attained by evolution rather than revolution. Ilia illustration of the Mississippi river was especially pertinent. To attempt to dam the current of commerce, which is undoubledly toward consolidation, he regarded as parallel with an attempt to dam the father of waters. But if man cannot dam the Mississippi he can con fine its water within certain channels and regulate its flow. This is what the Presedent wants done in the case of the trusts. To attempt to dam tbe Missis sippi would simply inflict ruin upon its banks. The same results would follow any attempt to destroy the trusts. But to regulate them, to keep them under control, would pro duce benefits similar to those accruing from the construction of levees along the river. POLITICAL. The so-called Union Party met in con vention in Philadelphia last Wednes day. fought, slugged and split; and the Philadelphia part of it nominated Pen nypacker and the rest Pattison. It was more amusing than important. Neither Col. Hulings of Venango nor Benator Cummihgs of Warren will sur render their chances to the nomination for State Senator.. Maine went Republican by a plurali ot 25,000, Monday, and Gov. Hill was re-elected. At a well attended meeting at Repub lican headquarters, Tuesday evening, several good speeches were made and considerable enthusiasm aroused. J. H. Cunningham, the Beaver coun ty nominee for Congress, is determined to defeat E F. Acheson of Washington county and will contest the district Domination. On Saturday last Col. Huff appealed to State Chairman Quay to order a dis trict conference fcr this Congressional district, Dr. Show alter having refused to meet him on an Bto 3 basis. Quay has called for a meeting in Pittsburg, this afternoon. At Punxsutawney, Monday, the Armstrong-Jefferson Indiana C 1 ari on Congressional conference met, and balloted, without results; but next day William Orlando Smith, the nominee of Jefferson county, and editor of the Punxsutawney Spirit, one of the best country weeklies published in the state, landed the district nomination, tbe Clarion and Indiana conferees voting for him. Mr. Smith thanked the con ferees, and said in part: "While Ido not expect to cut any particular figure in congress, I will en deavor to vote right and help to sustain the policies of the great Republican par ty, by whose wisdom the country has been kept in the paths of progress and national glory for nearly half a century. I will also endeavoi to be as useful as possible to my constituents. Should I be able to maintain the high standard of faithful and efficient service fixed by my immediate predecessor, Mr. Jack, I will feel that there is no proper cause for complaint on the part of the people of the Twenty-seventh congressional district." "Tom" Johnston has captured the Democratic party in Ohio end wants to make himself the Democratic candidate for the Presidency two years hence. Lv a harbor of Hayti, a few days ago. a German cruiser sank a rebel gunboat for interfering with a German steamer. THE bids for tbe building of the new State Capital at Harrisburg were open ed last Saturday, and that of Wm. Mil ler & Son of Pittsburg appeared to be the lowest, at $3.54*.0<K); with $275,000 to be added for the granite dome, and FGTFS.OW to be taken off if Indiana lime stone is used. ACCIDENTS. David Atwell of Cherry twp was thrown from his buggy by a run off on N. Main St. Butler, last Friday morn ing, and badly bruised. His horse scar ed at a street car. He was taken to the home of his son. Dr Atwell, in Butler. Daniel Duffy, formerly of Murrins ville. one of the Bessie brakemen. who lived on Etna St., fell down the base ment stairs at the Court House last Fri day afternoon and died shortly after. He fractured bis sknll. He was 35 years of age and leaves a wife and two children. This is the second fatality caused by the steepness and darkness of those stairs. Jas. R. Bovle, formerly of this coun ty, was killed by a railroad accident, near Sheldon, lowa, on Sunday, Aug. a Ist He wis an extensive dealer in horses. Jos. McMichael had a thumb taken off bv a threshing machine on Japhiah's farm, last Friday. Thomas Hindman. a son of Robert Hindman, dee d, of Franklin twp., was killed by being caught in some machin ery at Ellwood, last Saturday, and was buried at Prospect, Monday. His wife, nee Eva Murohy. daughter of Oliver Murphy of Worth twp. survives him His mother, a sister and three brothers live on W. North St. A. H. Greenert, a machinist and em ployee at the Phillips shop on E. Cun ningham street, bad his clothing torn off, Monday, by being twirled around a revolving shaft. His clothing caught while he was making some repair?, and he was badly bruised. While assisting at pulling tabiDg at a well on the Peter Rader farm in Con noqaenessing township, Tuesday. L. T. Miller, aged 35 years,was instantly kill ed bv the collapse of the derrick, a piece of falling timber striking him. Joe Radcliff was struck by another piece of the derrick and had three ribs broken. Some Road Law. An Act of Assembly approved July 2, 1901, provides that during the months of May, June, August and October each year the Road Commissioners or Super visors shall once a month remove or have removed the loose stones from off every traveled road or highway. Neglect or refusal to do so subjects them to a fine not exceeding $lO to be recovered by an action of debt, brought in the name of the Commonwealth before any Justice, half to go to the informer and half to be applied on the roads. An Act of the same date provides that persons subject to road tax who shall plant to the side of tbe public highway on his own ground, where the road ad joins cultivated fields, any fruit, shade or forest trees of suitable size, shall be allowed by the Supervisors an abate ment of one dollar in his road tax for every two tress planted. Elms must be 70 feet apart, maple and other forest trees 50, except locust anu Carolina poplar, which may be 30. and fruit trees must be 40 feet apart This abatement is allowed for just one year. Fruit, shade or forest trees already growing or those set out to replace trees that have died are also allowed for However no person can be allowed an abatement ex ceeding one-fourth of his road tax. Record of the trees and the abatements allowed for them shall be kept by the Supervisors. Any person who shall cut down, kill or injure any roadside tree or allows an animal driven by him to do so shall upon conviction be subject to a fine of not less than $1 or more than $- r ). with the choice of going to jail a day for every dollar. Owners can remove road side trees upon condition of immediately planting another. New School Laws. Now that the public schools have opened again, it would be well for par ents of childrtn of the school age to familiarize themselves with the provis ions of the new Bchool law, which is much more exacting than the old act It requires that all children between the age of six and sixteen years shall attend school throughout the term, un less excused by the board of directors for good and sufficient reason. Pupils may be excused on account of mental, physical or other disability, or they may be excused if between thirteen and sixteen years of age and can read and write the English language in an intelligent manner, provided they are regularly engaged in some useful em ployment or service. Another provis ion is that in case there is no school in session within two miles, by the near est traveled rjad, of any person within the school district, the pupil shall not be liable to the provisions of the act. The new law provides fines not only for the person in the parental relation, but also for teachers, directors and others who fail to carry out its requirements. In fact, the law is such that, if en forced, it will be a matter of import ance for all concerned to become ac quainted with it. Penn Twp. High School. The Penn twp. School Board with the assistance of Superintendent Painter organized a High School at Renfrew last Friday night. The citizens of the town subscribed S2OO and will rent the Maccabee Hall, furnish and heat it for a beginning The School will begin Monday, the 22nd and Supt.

It Is not commonly known that cer tain terms applied by furniture men and workers In fine wood refer almost entirely to the graining shown by meth ods of cutting oak, maple, walnut, etc., and the question frequently arises. What Is curly walnut or blrdseye ma ple? For clearer explanation the fol lowing Is presented by Meehau'A Month ly: The blrdseye figure In mapt« Is pro duced by cutting around th« lig and BIRD6BYE MAPLE AKD QUARTERED OAK. continuing until the log Is used up. A liuge knife, aud not a saw. Is used for the purpose, the wood being peeled off like a great shaving; hence blrdseye veneers yards In length are made. Few species produce this figure. That ob tained from the sugar maple is the fin est In our country. Curly walnut Is the root and that portion of the trunk just above the ground. The log Is sawed In the or dinary way. Curly walnut Is obtained from all the species. Quartered oak is produced by sawing the log Into quarters; hence the name. These quarters are then sawed into boards from the circumference toward the center, and thus the "flake," that beautiful figure In quartered oak, Is brought out. HOW TO GROW BEANS. WAX uud Strlaglen Gre«u Pod Vari —\A mm», Ummh aud Pole. The wax and striugless green pod varieties for best results should be drilled or dropped four to six inches in the row. They art very tender and should not be planted until all reason able danger from frost is passed, but after that they may be planted at in tervals of two weeks or a little more for succession, advises a Rural New Yorker writer. As soon as the plants are well out T>f the ground apply the nitrate of soda, same as for early cab bages. It should be applied every few days, especially if there are any traces of rust. The same treatment as to nitrate of soda (or saltpeter. If more convenient) should be followed with the lima beans. These, both bush and pole varieties, es pecially in the north, should be start ed iu pans or boxes of soil either In the hotbed or suuuy windows. They muy be started two or three weeks earlier than they could with safety be planted in the opeu ground. Plant one inch deep, making sure that the eye is down, one In a place, and far enough apart that they may readily be taken up without disturbing tlie roots. In taking up be sure that the soli is sutllciently moist to adhere well to them. It Is best to take plenty of soil with the plants and set In holes previ ously dug. With care in handling the plants may be reset with entire safety and the season of maturity very much hastened. The bush limas should be set two feet apart In the rows, as with good soil and culture they will spread a good deal. IF the JKIIE varieties are to be trained to .1 single pole, they should be set pre vious to transplanting the beans. Set three or four plants around each pole on a slightly raised mound of earth. Poles seven feet above the ground are sufficiently high, and when the vinos REACH the top they should be tied there and pinched back. The trellis iy very desirable, but I have very little faith in corn or sun flowers planted in to take the place of poles or trellis. When poles are used, the vines must be trained and tied oc casionally to TIE poles, and the most convenient way Is to wind the string or cord used for tying around the left wrist. This a lows free use of both hands for the work and saves much trouble by avoiding tangling the cord. The World'a Car a Cray. .According to the government report.

Moral suasion, the appeal to the ra tional nature of man, is doubtless a very good thing. But it will not compare j with immoral suasion for inducing swift ness of thought or promptness of action. ! The burglar surprised in his raid and , requested to "please ro away" will argue the case in the forceful brrglar way. But when a pistol is pushea in | his face with the laconic order, " Get! " 1 —he goes and stands not on the order of bis going. The pistol, with its six solid arguments, is a wonderful persuader, and in tbe line of immoral suasion cannot be surpassed. It is a reflection on man's reason that he often refuses to do what common sense dictates, until he is forced to do it. Common sense tells a man that he cannot live irregularly and keep his health „He is warned and admonished time and again that hasty eating and irregular meals result in diseases of the stomach and other organs of digestion and nutrition. But because Nature does not directly threaten his life as the pistol does he goes right along until ne is obliged to reform because disease forces him to do so. UNHEEDED WARNINGS. It is only when all her warnings have been unheeded that Nature no longer says "You should not" but "You shal. not." This is practically what happens when the lover of high living has to give up dainty dishes, sweets and condiments and come down to a diet of oatmeal or tea and toast. There are thousands of dyspeptics whose condition shuts them out from all th; pleasures of the table. There are thousands of others who are on the high road to a like condition, unheeding the warnings of the protesting stomach. The great fact is that every man and woman who suffers from dyspepsia can be almost certainly cured by the use of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. It always helps. It almost always cures. Only two people in every hundred who give "Golaen Medical Discovery " a fair and faithful trial fail of a perfect and permanent cure. "I have been thinking of writing to you for some time," writes Mrs. W. D. Benson, of Maxton, Robeson Co., N. C., "to let you know what a wonderful thing Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis covery did for my little boy. He was taken with indigestion when he was a year and a half old, and he was under fcs | That | { should fit | the I i 4 and becomingly.

Main S«. B itler PA the doctor's treatment for fin long Stars. We spent all we mad* for doctor Us, and it did no good. When he would take a spell of indigestion he - would' lie for ten and fifteen days, and' it seemed as though he would die. . He had these spells every two or three weeks. He could not eat anything only a little milk and cracker, ana sometimes even this would make him sick. He could not eat any meat or vegetables and he got very weak ; could not sit up all day, and I gave up all hope of hu ever getting any better. Three year* ago I found one of your bookSj and on looking it over one day I noticed Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery rec omended for Indigestion. We bought some and gave it to our boy. He had been treated at Hood's Creek by a good doctor, and at Bennettsville, S. C., and at Currie, and Lumberton and Maxton, and was only relieved for a short time. We gave him two bottles of Dr. Pierce'a Golden Medical Discovery and it cured him. He u well as can be and can eat anything that he wants ana it does not hnrt him. He has not been sick a day since and it has been three years since he took I your medicine. I can safely say that he Is well." WHERB WILL IT END? No one can say where the results of disease of the stomach and its allied org»tis will end. The stomach is the source of supply for each organ of the tiody. Whatever af fects the stomach to re duce its strength and its abilitjr to provide nutri tion lor the dependent organs will also affect the organs themselves. Heart, liver, lungs, kidneys, all must share the " weak ness" of the stomach. When diseases of the stomach and other organs of digestion and nutrition are cured by the use of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, diseases of other organs originating in stomach "weakness" and innutrition are cured at the same time. " I seat you a letter about a year ago," writes Mrs. J. Ellis Hamilton, of Farm ington, Marion Co., West Va. " I stated my case as plainly as I could, and re ceived a letter from you in a few days, telling me to uae Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical l>iscovery and 'Favorite Pre scription '—a bottle of each. I used three of each, and feel like a new woman Don't suffer any pain oi misery any more. Before using youl medicines I suffered all the time—had jaundice, caused from food not digesting properly. I would hare sick headache three and four times a week, and jaun dice every four or five weeks. Could not do the work myself. I commenced using your medicines as recommended for liver complaint, and I am cured. I doctored three years without relief, only for a short time, and then I was aa baa as ever. Haven't had sick headache since I took the first bottle of medicine." There is no alcohol in n Golden Medical Discovery," and it la absolutely free from opium, cocaine and all other narcotics. A FVU.
