We understand that Judge Miller is again to preside at the session of Court fixed for next Monday, the 29th inst., when the scheme to divide three of the Wards of this town into election pre cincts is to be disposed of. This scheme, which originated with some Democratic politicians, should be Bat down upon, as it has yet to be shown that any such division is nec essary and when it is so shown the job can be gone about decently and in order, by the appointment of viewers end the usual preliminary proceedings. Hundreds of men are locating in But ler at present, who will have no right to vote at the coming election; the names of hundreds of men who will not be here in November are said to be on our registry lists, the idea being to vote Other men in their places;and a division at this time cannot help but cause con fussioo, and aid in illegal voting. Besides this the western part of the town is rapidly building up, and any thing done now will have to be done over again next year. At the open meeting of the City Re publican meeting, last Friday evening, Col. Thompson and S. F. Bowser, Esq. were the speakers, and both are for the ticket, the whole ticket and nothing but thp ticket. Judge Pennypacker and company were given a rousing reception in Pitts burg, Friday, and that night Old City Hall was crowded to hear them. The Citizen's Party had as big a meet ing in same place, Saturday eyening. At Erie, Wednesday night, Judge Pennypacker denied all responsibility for mistakes of previous Governors and Legislatures and said: "If lam elected Governor of Pennsylvania and there is submitted for my approval any bill con cerning the passage of which there is belief of corrupt dealing it will not be come a law." * Alabama Republicans have indorsed Roosevelt for a second term. Col. Huff for Congress. At Harrisburg, last Friday, the evi dence in the "Congressional Mix" in this district was heard, by Judge Weiss, who decided that the certificate of nom ination of Col. Huff was invalid, on the ground that the Rules Committee for this county acted without authority. This decision left the matter in the air; but on Monday Dr. Showalter went to Greensburg, and after dickering with Col. Huff, the rest of that day and up to noon of next, pulled down his flag and agreed to the Colonel's nomination. A certificate of nomination was made out and taken to Harrisburg and filed before midnight, (the time limit of 42 days), and as it is reported that the Democrats will now contest the legality of the nomination, Col. Huff will also file nomination papers before next Tuesday midnight, the time limit for them. The whole trouble comes from not having Rules governing the district nomination, and these must be made. Col. Huff is said to be the most popu- ; lar man in Westmoreland county, and his nomination will be entirely satis factory to the Republicans of this j county. , THE proposed amendments to the | Constitution now being advertised are not to be voted on at the next election. > Should they be approved by the next | Legislature they will be submitted to j the i>opular vote at the following gener- j al election. They are advertised now, j in accordance with the fundamental j law, in order to enlighten the people as I to their nature. These great precau tions are taken in order to prevent any thing from being added to or taken from the Constitution without giving the people the amplest opportunity to 1 discuss and understand the nature of I the change. Amendments to the Con- 1 stitutions must be printed prior to the \ election of the members of Assembly j who pass on them in order that, should ' 1 they be of any great importance, the 1 people may take the nfatter into ac- j count when they elect representatives 1 WITH the double purpose of protect-1 ing the long-suffering Jews of the Balkan States and of averting the very present peril of the immigration into j the United States of a horde of paupers 1 Secretary Hay has adopted the unusual 1 course of appealing to the Powers of Europe to force one of their children to observe the obligations of humanity in the case of the Jews. The appeal takes the form of a state ' paper, remarkable in several respects, which has been dispatched in identical form to every Ambassador and Minister of the United States residing in one of the'eountries of Europe which were parties to the famous treaty at Berlin of 187b—namely. Great Britain, France, Germany, Russia, Italy, Austria and Turkey —marking the termination of the Turko-Russian war and the creation by the direct act of the Powers of the independent Balkan states. ON Monday Gov. Stone received word from the Sheriff of Lackawanna county, of which Scranton is the county seat, saying that he was unable to cope with the striking miners, who were becoming riotous, and after consultation with Gens. Miller and Gobin, ordered the 18th regiment commanded by Col Watres to report for duty. THE reported version of Congressman Littlefield's bill for the regulation of the trusts embodies three distinct ideas— publicity, punitive damages and a tax upon inflated capital. The provisions arc not detailed, but the central feature is un effort to protect those who may ] suffer from the manipulations of 1 monopolies. The West Winfield School. On Friday the 12th inst., the people of Wwt Winfield celebrated the opening of their handsome new school-bouse, which was erected by the Winfield Min eral Co., of which F. W. McKee is Treasurer, and presented to the School Board in the presence of several hun dred people. Mr. McKee made the presentation ad dress and in his remarks on education said: "On of the chief reasons, in my judg ment. why farming does not pay. is that few farmers really make a serious study of their business. They go along year after year, raising the same crops, with little or no regard to the law of supply and demand, and of consequent market values To my mind, the proper handling of a large farm is as great a problem and requires as high a degree of intelligence and judgment as the operation of a large mill or factory, and yet, how few are the men engaged in farming who give one-tenth of the thought and persistent application to the developement of their farms that the manufacturer gives to the operation and developement of his manufacturing business. The day will come, my friends when we will see a revolution in farm ing, just as we have seen in the past three generations a revolution in manu facturing. And when that day comes, the intelligent well-educated, business like farmer operating large farms on business principles, will be in the lead and all others will have to follow as best they can. In short, education by which I mean not merely book-knowl edge. but the training of the mind that comes from the study of ones business or occupation, is going to give us better machanioes,better merchants and better farmers than the world has ever seen before. And now in passing, let me say a word in regard to the woman's side in this industrial advancement. Just as we expect this educational develope ment to give us better farmers, so we may expect this to give us better house keepers. The educated woman of the future, if she is rightly trained, will know more of the science of good house keeping, will know more about the properties of food and the best means of preparing it for the table; the proper clothing of herself and her family, not merely for purposes of display but fcr health and comfort. She will study the care and training of her children, so that they may grow UD with sound minds in sound bodies. This work is in no respect inferior in importance to the business or occupation of her husband Second, politically—The value of edu cation to tne citizen and voter is par ticularly to be noted in these modern days, w hen politicians of all sorts abound; and when so much is claimed and professed In the name of patriotism or public spirit, which is really low down selfishness at h«art. The intelli gent voter in this great republic should be a well-read man; and by that I do not mean simplv that he should be a persistent reader of the newspaper; for the newspaper, if strongly partisan- -as most of them are—is one of the most unreliable sources of information im aginable. They say figures don't lie. but party newspapers always do. The usual party paper praises its own can didates to the skies, making them ap pear as miracles of goodness and fideli ty; whilst the candidates of the opposi tion are branded as the worst scoundrels in the community, and one wonders in reading, why they aren't taken out and hanged without judge or jury. To live a broader and fuller life, to grasp the fruits of knowledge, which hang ripening on every side, to fulfill all life's duties, cheerfully and honestly and wisely as they come—this it is to live a complete man or a complete wo man and to enjoy that profound sense of satisfaction which only right living can give. For such a person life is a song and a triumph; and at the end shall come the welcome greeting: 'Well done,good and faithful servant, enter thou into the joy of thy Lord.'" End of the President's Trip President Roosevelt's Western trip came to an untimely end in Indiana polis. He was found to be suffering from a swelling in the left leg between the knee and the ankle, arising from a bruise received in the trolley accident at Pittsfield, which required immediate surgical attention,, and, instead of being taken to the train to continue his journey, he was conveyed to St. Vin cent's hospital, where he was operated on. The operation occurred at 4:30 o'clock, and lasted only a short time. Then he was taken to a private room in the hospital to rest. After taking a light luncheon at 7:30 p. m. he was con veyed on a stretcher to his train, which had been backed up on a "Y" near the hospital, and at 7:50 o'clock the train left for Washiagton. • His trip, however, as far as it went, was a great success. His speech on the trusts, at Cincinnati was more gener ally commended than any other he made. Rural Free Delivery. Butler county farmers have very opposite opinions concerning rural free delivery. Some are dead in love with it while others are cursing it A man at Jamisonville station was heard to re mark Monday evening as a southbound passenger train whizzed past, "I know there is a letter on that train for me If Fleeger postoffice were still here I could get it in half an hour, but under this new fad it is carried past me to Butler and I will not get it until to morrow noon." Men from Moniteau, Mabarg. and Mt Chestnut have said that the discontin uance of the post offices at those points to make way for rural free delivery has depreciated the value of farm land $5 per acre. One thing is certain and that is that the business of the country stores where post offices were discon tinued has been greatly injured. On the other hand the farmers will now seek markets in the larger towns, while men who were far distant from a post office find the new delivery a great con venience. On the whole it js a question whether rural delivery is any real bene fit. People living near small tjwns along the railroads had much better service under the old plan, and offices ; discontinued at such points should be ; re-established at once. Several in ; stances can be cited along the Bessemer I and P. & W. . CHUItCH NOTES. Communion services will lie observed in Grace Lutheran church, Mifflin St . next Sunday. Rev. Worrell will prcacli at the preparatory services, Friday evei - ing. The pastor, Rev. J. C. Nicholas is preaching a series of sermons on the "Prodigal Son," Sunday evenings. At the late M. E. Conference in Erie, Rev. Buzza was assigned to Cliicora, and Rev. Miller to Slipperyrock. Lines 011 the Death of John Ken nedy Another old soldier has joined the «rand army above; The pass-word to that camp-ground is Jesns. His banner over him is love. He has fought his last battle; he has heard the last reveille. Now from sickness and sorrow he is for evermore free. No more weary marches, no knapsack to bear; No Bmall pensions are given the old soldiers up there. He has camped in a city whose streets are of gold. Where they neither hunger, nor thirst any more, I am told. His comrades at arms will miss bim down here. And In theii kind hearts his memory will hold dear. He was a brave soldier, he saw carnage and strife, And for the honor of the old flag hft would have laid down his life. He has gone to a land were the rnsli ami roar— Where the thunder of battle is heard no more. The snows may drive, the winds may 1 rave; The rains beat wild on his lonely ' grave. He heeds no sound from the angry ! past. His warfare is o'er, he sleeps m last. . ALEX M. HAYS. OIL NOTES. The Market—Both agencies are pay ing f1.83.

AT Harrisburg, Monday week, the Capi - tol Commission awarded the contract for the erection of the new State House to the lowest bidder, a Philadelphia firm. The price is #3,710,000, within $290,000 of the amount appropriated. But as the architect's commission of $200,000 is to be deducted from the balance there is but $90,000 left for the expenses of the commission and incidental expendi tures. Work is to be begun next moDth and to be completed by the date set by the Legislature, January 1, 1906. TLH outside of the building, and dome, are to be of granite.

Mrs. Maggie Edwards of 246 West St., Butler, Pa., says: "My boy aged 11 years who by reason of overwork ran down—could not eat or rest. He was nervous and did not sleep well at night. He needed lifting up and I got some of Dr. A. W. Chase's Nerve Pills for him at D H. Wuller's Drug Store. The medi cine has acted in a more than satisfactory manner. He eats finely—strength com ing back fast—nerves steady and sleep ing well. There is no question but that a short time will put him right again The gain in health has been very rapid." Dr. A. W.
