THERE would be no safety for any
one if mob law WM allowed to prevail
TH« interest of all is to go ' according
to law," eyery time and all the time.
No matter what the provocation may
be, or who the offender, or what the of
fence. if we let go of the law in one case
we set a dangerous example, and the
next case may be injury done to an in
nocent person, for it has L>een well said
that a mob of men are not only more
unreasonable than wild beasts Lut more
cruel and savage. So the safety of so
ciety lays in all upholding the law. It
will punish the wrong doer as soon as
possible. Then there can be no mistake.
No danger then of the wrong man being
punished. Where the law is disregard
ed there only is danger. Let it be up
held. respected and preserved at all
times and then all will be secure.
CUKKENT TOPICS.
President Roosevelt reached his home
at Oyster Bay, last week, after a run of
1700 miles through the southern states,
and tomorrow, the 19tb, he is to start
on BIN western trip. He makes a favor
able impression whereever he goes, as
he is candid and straightforward in bis
discussion of public questions.
Ail the conferences over the strike in
the anthracite coal fields of the eastern
part of the state have failed, the opera
tors will positively not submit to arbi
tration, winter i* approaching, and the
people of Philadelphia and other towns
who have heretofore used anthracite al
most exclusively are alarmed at the sit
uation. The troop* are yet camping at
the scene to prevent violence, and the
next state legislature will be called up
on to consider the matter.
The Secretary of the Navy ordered
was vessels to the Isthmus
of Panama, last week, he having receiv
ed notice that the rebel general had tak
en possession of the canal route.
Affairs at Bogota, the capital of the
country, in the mountains, have become
ao complicated, that it would be impos
sible for our government to negotiate
a treaty with that country at present.
ID Venezuela conditions are worse, and
all commerce has been suspended. These
things are bad for republican institu
tions. We may yet have to adopt the
"corollary of the Monroe doctrine,"
and make these bad boys behave them
selves. In the Island of Hayti, also,
which is almost entirely populated by
negToes, the fighting continues, and the
United States has been asked lo become
a conservator of the peace.
After months of unnecessary delay
the Aldermen of New York have con
tented to the construction of the tunnel
under the city by the Pennsylvania R.
R. Co. The tunnel will begin at a point
in New Jersey and end at one on Long
Island, passing under the city at 34th
St., where a great underground station
will be built.
Tbis will be the greatest engineering
feat ever attempted by man,and though
we have yet to meet the man who can
tell us how they are going to get
through the mud that forms the bottom
of the Hudson, President Cassatt says
the problem has been solved. The im
provement will probably cost a hundred
millions.
The Vanderbilt and Pennsylvania
railroad interests seem to be working in
harmony at present, and they have re
cured control of the Reading, and are
said to have made a traffic agreement
with the Goulds, which will end the
war, unless the latter attempt to build
a line to the sealward. Railway stocks
are away up at present.
So much money was sent west from
New York to move the crops that there
was a money famine in that city, lsst
week, which was relieved by the Sec'y
of the Treasury lending the banks
there a few millions.
"There is at present in the Treasury
an available cash balance of over $214-
000,000 aside from the $150,000,000 in
gold which is held as a trust fund to
redeem the Treasury notes, says the
Philadelphia Inquirer. This balance is
larger than it wa; at the beginning of
the fiscal year, though it is certain to be
decreased in case the appropriation for
the Panama Canal becomes available,
and probably in any event, since
officials do not believe that the present
ratio of receipts to expenses can con
tinue, In spite of the fact that it is now
increasing. The nation thnt can cut
off seventy-two millions in reveune and
then find itself as rich as ever is to be
envied indeed.
Auother striking feature of national
finance is the increase in postal receipts.
The department has always been run at
a loss, but last year it was so small as
to be nearly negligible and there would
have been a large surplus except for the
extraordinary expenses for rural free
delivery. These expenses will bo larger
still during the current year, but the
earnings are increasing at a greater
rate, so that the department is expected
soon to go on a paying basis unless the
rural delivery is extended."
Though the cold weather has hurt
the crops, a big harvest is assured and
the prices cf cereals has declined.
In foreign countries, the Emperor'
William, was very gracious, last week,
to the American Generals, who wit
nessed the army maneuvers on the
Oder: and the Rnssians have ordered all
foreigners out of Manchuria, the vast
tract of northern China, of which she
has taken possession and intends to bold
despite the protest of England and Ja
pan.

The conference of Senators Hanna.

The political sensation of the week is
the refusal of Speaker Henderson to ac
cept the unanimous re-nomination for
Congress tendered him by the Republi
cans of the Third district of lowa. Mr.
Henderson objects to a "plank"' in the
Republican State platform of lowa and
he opposed President Roosevelt's policy
for reciprocity with Cub 3. His decli

certificate of nomination as the Repub
lican nominee of this district for Con
gress.
Citizens of Batler, old and new, in
casting their vote on November 4th,
next,should remember the fact,brought
to notice at one of the late political
meetings by Hon. J. D. McJnnkin, that
Bntler owes the boom which is today
enriching her citizens to the Republican
party's principle of protection. Our
principal interests now ure industrial,
and the Republican party always was
and always will be the best one for the
laboring man. Some men will sell their
votes for a few dollars gain in hand,
but he gets most for his yote who caits
it for a party and policy which insures
protection, and sound legislation for
the industrial interests which are to
wonderfully developing and which give
him his daily wages.
The scheme to divide three of the
Wards of Bntler and Butler township
into election districts was presented to,
Ccurt—Judge Miller, presiding, Tuesday
afternoon, and bad it not been emphat
ically denounced by almost all the Re
publican members of the Bar present,
would probably have l>een approved.
As it is it was postponed until Monday,
September 29tb. It has yet to be shown
by a congestion at an election that such
division is necessary; and this attempt
at this time savors of political trickery.
POLITICAL TKICKKKY.
Tuesday afternoon J. C. Vanderlin,
law partner of Lev McQuistion, the
Democratic judicial nominee, presented
four petitions, all of which bad been
prejared in McQuistion's office, in court
l>efore Jndge M'ller asking for the di
vision of Butler twp , and the Ist, 2d
and third wards of Bntler into addition
al voting precincts. A Democratic
daily stated that the petitions had been
previously presented to Judge Greer at
his residence. The petitions would, no
doubt, have been granted on reading,
had not Col. J. M. Thompson, Senator
Williams, Commander R. P. Scott, II
H. Goncher, T. C. Campbell, L. M
Wise and other Republican attorneys i
sprung to their feet and denounced the
scheme ns it deserved. It was admitted
that in time all would have to be divided |
but the manner of preparing the petitions
and placing them before the public and
court and the purpose (which it is self
evident is to get a divbion at a time to
create confusion and secure Democratic
boards; were objected to most strongly.
After hearing the remarks of the lie
publicans present Judge Miller granted
rules to show cause why the divisions
should not be made, these to be heard

TIN: BUTLER ITLOT.
TL' strangest procession that Butler
his ever seen came marching np Main
street. List Saturday' night, after 10
o'clock. In the centre of it were half a
dozen men carrying an apparently dead
man, around them were several police
men with drawn clubs, and surround
ing them all was a great crowd of men
1 and boys yelling "kill him.'' ' lynch
him." etc.
Upon inquiry it was learned that the
apparently dead man was a worthless
character of the town, known as Jerry
Bennett; that he had been caught in the
act of brutally abusing a little girl, that
he had been beaten, and kicked an-1
scared into insensibility: and that he
then was in possession of the police who
were taking him to jail, while at the
same lime guarding him from the mob,
who wanted to finish him.
Arriving at the jail at about 10:30 p.
m. the police had to fight their way in
with their prisoner, but succeeded in
landing him inside the doors. And
I then as the news of Bennett's deed
cpread, the mob grew and more
desperate A rjpe was secured and
swung over a liinb of one of the large
trees near the jail;and the mob demand
ed of the sheriff that he give op his
prisoner, which Sheriff Hoou refused to
do and ordered the crowd to disperse.
Instead of doing so. however, they
secured a long timber, pushed the police
guarding the door aside, battered it to
pieces, and were met in the hallway by
the sheriff and deputies with drawn
pistols. Several shots were fired, and
one man was hit, whose cries made the
crowd hesitate, and then retire from the
jail and spend their vengance on the
building by breaking the windows. For
two long hours the sheriff and his depu
ties faced that mob, ere they would dis
perse. and several hundred dollars worth
of damage was done to the building.
The cause of all this trouble, Joseph
or Jerry Bennett, is about twenty-seven
years of age. He has lived in Butler for
the past twenty years, during which he
has made for himself a very unsavory
record. He had been in a few small
scrapes before enlfcting in the 157 N. Y.
Infantry for the Spanish war; while in
the service he was court marshalled.
After being mustered out he returned
to Bntler, tne night bo was caught try
ing to burglarize a house and received a
load of bird shot in the back. A year
ago he was charged with breaking and
entering a beer bouse near the West
Penn station and stealing two cases ot
beer. He was convicted His mother
made a strong plea to the Court for
mercy, and he was given 60 days for
breaking and entry while sentence for
larceny was never passed. A few months
ago he uiade an unsuccessful attempt to
cut his throat and hang himself while
in the borough lockup for drunkenness
Two years ago he is said to have made
an attack on a little girl. He made his
home with his mother and sister on
Elm street.
John Warner, a tailor employed by
W. II Young, lives near the Bennetts
Wagner has a little daughter, Theona,
who will be seven years old in October
Saturday morning Bennett filled np
with whiskey. After supper that evening
he s,tw Theona, who knew him, near
his home and t<s>k her to a fruit stand
near the West Penn wtation for cstidy.
Then they walked up Jefferson street a*
far as McKean. About 7:30 a woin.-.u
saw Bennett taking the child towaids
Purvis' lumber yard, and told Mr.
Wagner. He and others at once \v> :.t
after them, but could uwt find them. It
Isjcanie generally known, the poti<-*r
wero sent for and the search becwino

<ar and disclosed Bennett with ?.m
--cliild in his embrace. They had b-en
there over two hours. Both were coverd
with the little girl's blood. Bennett.'*
underclothing, removed l iter in the jaii,
was .-aturated with it. Tbeoua wa.»
pulled out and given to her sister who
hurried home witb the nearly uncon
scious child and Dr. Moore was citb-d
to attend her. Bennett refused ro
out and was finally kicked and 1
out after Est]. Gilghrist had fastened .i
pair of handcuffs on him. Bennett r;
fused to get up. but lay groveling face
downward in the cinders, saying "<>.
mother, mother! O God forgive me.
He feigned a fit but a few vig.jr >us
kicks knocked that out of bim. Some
in the crowd which soon collected,
wanted to lynch him right there, but
others prevailed to have him taken to
jail. Bennett refused to walk. lie wa
carried a few steps but James Madden,
upon whose little daughter Bennett
tried to commit au assault two weeks
ago said ' carrying was too good, drag
him." Over the ties, cinders and stone*
Bennett was dragged to JefTersoti street.
Here John Wagner the father was en
counted. He flew at Bennett, bnt three
or four friends grabbed him, pnlied him
away and told bim to let the law punish
Bennett. Despite the crowd Policeman
Graff managed to get Bennett to the
Lowry House corner, by hustling him
into a trolly car. At this point it was
necessary to take Bennett from the car
and a crowd again soon surrounded
liim. Here some hysterical freak of a
woman jostled her way among the
men shrieking "Don't hurt that man,
don't any of you dare to lay a finger on
him, remember he has a mother." The
woman was pushed out of the crowd
and some pietty plain tilings said to her.
Officers Kemper, Hchultz and Me
Grady arrived to help Grafl' Bennett
was half dragged, half carried to the
jail, most of the kicks and blows aimed
at him being received by the officers,
by the time the jail was reached the
'•rov. d had become a mob, and it hsiked
as though Bennett would be taken from
the officers at the jail entrance.
James Gildernew, who had lieen call
ed upon by the sheriff, was mistaken by
the crowd for Bennett, and they seized
him and began jerking him toward a
tree. This digression of the mob's fury
enabled the officers to get Bennett in
«ide the jail.
Then a thousand men, the brains of
some of whom had lieeri fired by liquor,
became a raging mob. The policemen
stood on the jail step Sheriff Hoon
came out and tried to speak to the mob.
It was useless as the howl*, jeers and
yells could be heard a mile away. Some
became very violent and assumed to act
as lendert in the lawlersness. Most of
them were strangers, who evidently lie
longed to the new element in tho town.
The officers and sheriff were jerked
down f'r< in the steps. Some one hurled
a brick through the transom above tin
main door. The crowd surged tip
against tho door, jerked Sheriff Hoon
awav and tried to cave in the door with
their shouders. A brick thrown through
an upstairs window barely missed the
bead of a daughter of the sheriff, who
peering down a' xions for the welfare of
her father. A ihowe rof bricks, stones
and id libs smashed nearly all the
windows. On Sunday morning a heap
lof bricks, etc , that would fill a two
bushel bag WHS gathered np in the liv
lng apartments of Sheriff Hoon and his
family. Someone brought a scantling
from the new bank building. Fifty
men siezed it and rushed against the
door. All hough a double affair of
heavy timber it splintered and fell in.
A brick crashed through the chandelier
in the hall and another through the gas
light at the corner outside.
Kev. Barlow of the Episcspal, church
jumped upon the steps in front of tie
rioters and tried to still them buthe was
hurled aside. The mob rushed into the
hall but were beaten back by Deputy
Rainey Hoon and specials Joe Ilaugher
ty and' Heller. The latter two
were struck by sticks and stones and
temporarily put ont of the fight
Koine of the police got in the hall to
help the sheriff. Outside Burgess Smith
ordered Cnpt. J. A McKee to call out
Co, L, but this was not done and was
not necessary, as when the crowd jnado
its next rush to git in, a shot rang out.
from the dark recesses of the sheriff's
rooms and the rioters ft il back. Several
other shots were fired as warning, the
bullets ntrickitlg the west wall of the
Conrt House. The mob in a few minutes
grew bold again and rushed Police
man Graff was standing in the doorway
and pnsied them back. Someone struck
bim and lie fired at the ground. The
bullet glanced on the pavement and
struck George Klein, a yonng railroader
of the South Side, who said afterwards
he was one of the foremost of the
mobs, in the calf of the leg. lacerat
ing it badly.
One taste of blood was enough for the
mob and they withdrew for the night
and gradually dispersed. By this time
it was 1 -.30 Sunday morning. A barri
cade was built of the broken-down doors
and Sheriff Hoon stationed well armed
guards and instrncted'them to shoot
It was rumored that a determined at
tack by armed men would be made at
four o'clock but it did not materialize,
and the remainder of the night was
spent in quiet.
All day Sunday curiotH crowds" view
ed the battered jail
Bennett lay all day face downward
on the iron bed of his cell. He seemed
ashamed even to look at the light. Four
heavy steel doors separated him from
the men who wanted his life. The
doors could not have been battered
down if the mob had overpowered the
sheriff.
Sunday evening a report that four
cases of dynamite had been stolen from
the warehouse of the Lyndora Land Co.
and men were going to blow up the
jail at midnight, caused the roping off
of the surrounding streets and the plac
ing of guards armed with bayonetted
and loaded Springfield rifle.'. Some of
the guards got full and were teased by
a crowd. Some one hit one of them 011
the head with a small sack of cement,
deluging him with the white powder
The guard leveled his gun at the crowd
and there was a wild scramble for safe
ty. This was the only disorderly inci
dent of the night.
On Monday the jail was repaired.
Sheriff Hoon wanted his wife and
daughters to leave the jail after the
dynamite threat was received, but they
refused to do so, preferring to stay by
him.
Bennett not only has a criminal and
degenerate mind but is said to have a
b<»dly diseased body, which adds to the
heinonsness of his offence.
Theon.V; Wagner, his victim, is 're
covering from her fearful experience.
Joseph Bennett Tuesday entered »
plea of nolle contendre to the charge of
r:ipe entered against him and was
brought into court that afternoon be
tween Deputy Hoon and Policeman
Schaltz. Bennett sat down in a chair
and leaned over the side as though sick
or faint or non-compus. Several at
torneys told of their experiences with
Bennett in the past and their efforts in
his behalf. Tax Collector Maxwell,
Policeman Graff. Rev. Barlow and Dr.
Moore told of the finding of Bennett
under the car, bis condition, and that of
little Theona Wagner. Jndge Miller
then had Bennett brought before the
bar and told him the Court was satit-fied
that there was nothing wrong with him
mentelly, that he was no more crazy
than was the Court, that clemency had
been Bhown Ben net on two former oc
casions when he was convicted for
crimes. Judge Miller then pronounced
'T sentence yen, to pay a fine of one dol
ler, the costs of the case, and undergo
imprisonment in the Western Peniten
tiary of Pennsylvania at Riverside,
Allegheny county, at separate and soli
tary confinement for a period of fifteen
years."
Bennett's sisters and old gray-haired
mother were in court when sentence
was passed and wept.
Judge Miller then ordered the audi
ence to remain seated until the prisoner
was safely taken out.
Bennett was taken away at 6 a. m.,
Wednesday.

MRS. NETTIE CAMPBELL.
Our Father in His infinite wisdom has
called home Mrs Nettie Neff Campbell,
to whose earnest and heroic life the
Woman's Missionary Society of Concord
desires to bear testimony and pay tri
bute. Always cheerful, helpful and
eapable; her home, her neighbors and
the church organizations have lost one
whose place cannot be filled. The key
note of her whole life was struck at the
fuaeral service when she was presented
as an example of nutiring faithfulness.
Faithful in her home, faithful to her
friends, faithful to her church, faithful
in living for and giving to hpr Lord
She has received the crown of lite
promised to those who are faithful unto
death. The Missionary Society deeply
feels the loss, but rejoices that a life so
earnett i-i receiving its reward, and that
such a noble example has been left for
those upon whom her work fallen

A "LOVELY GIRL ORCHESTRA" IS
NEXT.
The attendance thus far at the New
Exposition has exceeded all expectations,
and honestly speaking, there is just one
verdict, viz, that from every viewpoint the
present exhibition is head and shoulders
above anything ever before seen in PitM
burg, or for that matter in any other city.
The general "spick and span" appearance
of all the buildings, the larger number,
and great variety of exhibits and the
superior beauty of the booths housing them
have brought forth almost endless ad
jectives of admiration. Mechanical hall, j
especially has been the recipient of lavish j
praise, since here the scheme of display has
been entirely changed, and the whole
structure tastily decorated and dttzlingly
j illuminated.
The growth of the New Exposition can
best be gauged by the fact that there are
forty-two more exhibitors than last year
| making a grand total of one hundred and
: twenty-seven, and occupying an area of
; one hundred and twenty-five thousand
' square feet. Notable among the new
j exhibits are "Two Model Bath Rooms,"
! constructed at a cost of four thousand dol-
I lars; a superb electrical showing; cereals,
; fruits, minerals, etc., of the Southern Rail
| way, the finest of cut glasswafe; the
novel steam-turbine-engine-wheel, and many
others.
The musical attraction from September
17 to 23, inclusive, will be the Fadettes of
Boston, fifty strong, otherwise the "Lovely
Girl orchestra," an organization that the
past summer has set cultured Boston aflame
with enthusiasm and wonder. It is some
thing new to find large bodies of women
playing together, but the results have been
sj satisfying that the New Exposition
management felt constrained to champion
the new cause and show its clientele what
marvelous progress woman has made in the
field of music. Aside from the lovely
quality of their music these fifty women,
each clad in white or some delicately
colored gown, will make a fascinating
stage picture among the flowers, green
palms and pale blue lights of the newly and
beautifully redecorated Music hall. Sub
urbanites can not afford to miss hearing
this superb body of players.
Just a word as to the special attractions.
There are ten of them, each more interest
ing than the other, and all together so en
joyable to the visitor that they have become
the talk of the town.
Excursions are being run to the New
Exposition each week during the «ca*on of
forty days and eveiy person in this city owes
it to himself and his family to make use of
the privilege.
