tphe; citizen. WILLIAM C. NEGI.KY TURSDAY, FEBRUARY 5, 19°3- SI.OO per year In Advance. Otherwise SI.SO. t Tlic Superior Court Vacancy. The vacancy on the bench of the Su perior Court, caused by the resignation of Judge W. W. Porter, will be filled by appointment by Governor Pennypacker; the appointee to be commissioned to Jannary 1, 1904, and recommissoned, if elected next November, tor the usual term of ten years. The Superior Conrc has become a very imjH>rtant branch of the judicial depart ment of the state. It was designed to lift some of the work from the shoulders the Supreme Court justices. Wheth er the higher court has really been re lieved may be a question, for the con tinued growth of litigation keeps it busy. However that may be, the Super ior Court has a heavy burden of ito own to carry, a burden that is made harder because it moves from one city to an other. When not sitting in Pittsburg, it is to be found at Philadelphia, Wil liamsport, Harrisburg or Scranton. Its duties are arduous, and its members should be capable attorneys of ripe ex perience and undoubted integrity. Such a man is H. H. Goncher, Esq. . of Butler, for whom an effort in this di rection is now being made, and as this aection of the state is at present unrep resented on either the Superior or Su preme benches, we commend Mr. Goncher's claims and those of our coun ty to our worthy Governor. CURRENT EVENTS. Twenty years ago two men, looking for some grazing and farming land near the southern shore of Lake Superior came across a large tree that had been uprooted by a storm. The long tap-root of the fallen tree was smeared with red stuff, and the men surmising what this meant, dug down and found a solid bed of red iron ore. the best known for making Bessemer steel. They bought the ridge for a trifle, made their dis covery known, and in th 3 course of time sold their holdings for twenty millions. The region was investigated and these deposits of ore were found to exist along the entire southern coast of Lake Superior from the straits of Mackinaw, through Michigan, Wisconsin and Minnesota to a point northwest of Dnluth, and the ridges containing it have all been bought up by the Car negies and Rockefellers. The ore is dredged from the hills, loaded in, cars, run to the Lake shore, dumped into boats built for the purpose, towed to the ports of Lake Erie and loaded on cars there.—all by machinery—and though millions of tons of it have been taken out, the deposits have barflj been "scratched," and the supply seems inexhaustible. Thousands of tons of the stuff pass through Butler every week over the Bessemer on its way to the furnaces uoar Pittsburg; the coal of this section giving us an advantage over other sections, and the out-put of pig iron in this state a\one tor last year was about eight millions of tons, as against about seventeen million tons by the whole country. These figures are instructive in many ways. The output was the greatest in our history and would have been pro bably twenty per cent, larger if there had been available the coke and means of transportation. To offset this there was large importations from abroad, and the demand is still ntterly beyond the capacity of the furnaces to supply. At Connellsville and in that region thousands of tons of coke are awaiting shipment, and the railroad blockade seems to be no nearer closing than for some weeks. In consequence the maxi mum demand for pig-iron output can not be reached. The position of Penn sylvania in the ore business is more im portant than ever. That its output should equal that of Great Britain seems almost impossible, and the fact that the iron business of the country has doubled in ten years is a most in structive feature. In Washington, last week, the House had a bribery scandal on hands (which was not "probed to the bottom") and is now engaged on the appropriation bills. The Senate witnessed the strange spectacle of Mr. Morgan of Alabama opposing the canal treaty after pre viously voting for the bill. The Senate continued to be dead locked all last week by the "Statehood Bill," which still held the right of way after 2 p.m., and Senator Quay played A smart trick by offering the bill as an amendment to an appropriation bill,but the majority of the Republican mem bers, having in view, the case of Dela ware, where one wealthy man is hold ing up the entire state, were continuing to oppose the bill. The two teiritories have a mixed population of Mexicans, Indians and a few white people. Ari zona polled about twenty thousand votes last year in her local elections, and New Mexico polled some thirty-thous and. If admitted as states each one would be entitled to one Congressman and two United States Senators, which would not only be an imposition on the the other states, but also an invitation to adventurers, as Delaware now is. The situation, as Mated by the Phila delphia Inquirer was, "The House pass ed the measure, which provides for the admission of New Mexico, Arizona and Oklahoma as States. ' The Senate com' mittee rejected all save Oklahoma, and coupled with that territory the Indian Territory. The great majority of Re publican Senators indorse the commit tee report. The Democrats are favora ble to the House bill. Senator Quay has rallied enough Republican Senators to make a majority for admission when added to the solid Democratic vote. He asks that a day shall be set for the vote, but the Republican opponents prefer debate and postponement, hence no ac tion can be bad. In the midst of this deadlock Quay stives notice of amendments to be of fered to certain appropriation bills and asks that tbey be referred to the Com mittee on Organization, Conduct and Expenditure of the Executive Depart ments. When safely referred it be comes known that the amendments are really copies of the Statehood bill. The rules are that amendments to appropri tions must be submitted by regnlar committees The committee chosen for this work by Quay is one which rarely meets, but one of which he ischairman. The majority of it is with him, hence the amendments have been reported fa vorably There are also roles that alien mat ters must not be tacked on to appropri ation bills, and the President Pro Tem. will doubtless rule the territories out; but the Senate is always able to reject the railing of the chair if there is a ma jority against him, hence Senator Quay believes that the Senate will declare that the amendments can be made. This being the case, he farther expects that upon a direct vote the territories will be admitted.'' If the bill is insisted up to the end of the session, all legislation will be block ed, this will necessitate an extra ses sion of the Senate to consider the trea ties. The hitch in the Venezuela negotia tions was caused by all the creditor Na tions of Venezuela insisting upon being treated equally in the division of her customs. Some days ago Mr. Bo*en, acting for Venezuela, submitted to the blockad ing powers a proposition that thirty per cent, of the custom? duties col lected at La Guayra. Puerto Cabello and Maraeaibo, the three principal Venezuelan ports, should be devoted to the liquidation of the foreign claims as to whose validity there is no dispute and tc the payment of any awards that may be hereafter made. This offer was accepted by the three allies with the reservation that the claims of the blockading powers shonld be entitled to a priority of satisfying. It was here that the existing difficulty developed. Mr. Bowen replied by pointing out that the Venezuela Government had entered into an agreement with other of its creditors from which it could not with out their consent diverge, and he ex plained that the desire and the inten tion were distribute the thirty per cent, of the customs duties equally among those entitled to receive it. He has since, under instructions from his prin cipal refused to favor the blockading nations, and there the matter rests. Unless the allied powers withdraw from the position which they appear to have assumed it will be difficult to avoid the conclusion that their couise is inspired and directed by some other motive than the collection of the out standing debt, that they have some ul terior purpose in view which they are unwilling to disclose. About seventy-five Republicans of Butler met in Room G of the Younkin's building last Friday evening and elected P. W. Ruff chairman of the city committee, W. J. Marks vice chairman, A. M. Christley secretary, and J E. Franklin treasurer. A number of preliminary matters were considered, discussed and acted upon, and an aggressive campaign was de cided upon HABBIBBUKG. The receipts of the State Treasury for this year, available for appropriations are estimated at 15i millions, and the estimated of the expenses of the state for the year is 16i millions, leaving an imiaginary deficit of a million In the Senate, Tuesday, Mr. Williams of Bntler introduced a bill appropriat ing $50,000 to Slipperyrock Normal. The house, by the decisive vote of 111 to 57, defeated the Grady bill appropriat* ing #25,000 for the erection of a monu ment to the memory T>f Simon Came ron In the bill Senator Quay, Alex ander J. Cassatt and Col. Alexander McClue were named as a commission to fulfill the obligation imposed. As Sen ator Grady was authority for the state ment that Col. Quay is very much in terested in the measure, in reality its sponsor, an unfriendly significance was by some placed upon the action of the house. The bill wfts reconsidered Wednesday by Durham's orders and passed. The proposition to erect a statue to the rebel general, Robert E. Lee, on the battlefield of Gettysburg, was debated in the hall of the House of Representa tives on Tuesday evening of last week. Col. A. K. MtClurespoke infavorofthe bill providing for the erection of the statute, and Judge John Stewart, of Chambersburg, against it. Colonel McClure said he did not plead the cause of Confederacy, but on the other hand, he pleaded the cause of the Union—the common union. He wanted to make the battlefield of Gettysburg worthy of the nation. It should in it self tell its own story. He pictured the monuments and tablets on Cemetery Hill which tell in every detail the story of the Union side of that great battle. Across the fields, on Seminary Ridge, he said, the story of the other side should be told in monument and tablet. They should not be placed there as a j tribute to the Rebellion, but as a tribute to the heroism of the Blae and the Gray. The visitor from a foreign land to the battlefield of Gettysburg would traverse its magnificent avenues, study the posi tions occupied by the two great armies, and could not fail to be impressed with the equal valor of the forces there lock ed in deadly conflict. He would inquire why one side of the story is given in im perishable KORurnents, while the other has nothing to tell of the equally skilled and valiant chieftains whb gave oyer twenty thousand of their heroes to the dead and wounded of the battle, ami would he not ask the question : "Were njt the chieftains and warriors on both sides Americans ? Were they not brothers, whose fathers had reared the great free gov*rau;ent of the world deeply crimsoned with their LIocU, and who had shared in the trials and tri umphs of the Union in the Revolution ary War, in the second war with Eng land, and on the plains of Mexico?" What answer could we make to day to such inoqiries forty years after this great battle waa fought'' Viewed from the standpoint of the teiupe>ej passions of the present, does not the battlefield of Gettysburg now stand as a colossal monument teaching the gospel of hate? Legislators, soldiers, patriots of Penn sylvania, how can such a monument en dure when hate has perished? Speaking of the opposition to the mon ument. he called atteatiop to the high places now occupied by Confederal* gen erals. "There is no honor short of the Presidency," fce said, "that has not been given to Confederates with the consent of all parties." At the conclusion of Colonel McClure's address Mr Bliss introduced Judge John Stewart, of Chambersbum. JudgeStew art said he was sustainedby an abiding confidence that in no event would the Lee statue bill receive legislative ap proval "I am deeply and unalterably opposed to this measure," he said, amidst loud applause, and followed this by a prophecy thaf, after its defeat no body would ever attempt tu re/iye it. He did not think this bill was the prod uct of Colonel McClure's good judgment. It was begotten of exaggerated charity. He denied the legal right of the Leg islature to pass this bill. "We who are opposed to it will never give over our opposition until the court of last resort says we .jjinet," said Judge Stewart, with upraised band, f»pd applause fol lowed. He gave a brief sketch of the forma tion of the Gettysburg Memorial Asso ciation and said: "You cannot pass a law that impairs a contract and we rest upon th« right of those who gave that field to its charitable use. "What is to be gained by putting this ntatueof Lee on Gettysburg battlefield;" asked the speaker. "If yon want his toric accuracy as your excuse, then place upon this field a statute of Lee holding in his hand the banner under which he fought, bearing the legend: 'We wage ! this waragainota government conceiv ed in liberty and dedicate/) to humanity.' "There i» nothing in history to com pare with this," said Jndge Stewart. "Will the speaker pardon me?" said Colonel Tom Cooper, "but there Is now a uionnment being erected on the battle field of Brandy wine to Washington and Lafayette." "But they were pairM* *}gbting for th« same cause," retorte/l Ju(Jg« bf,e-y art. "Yes," said Cooper, "bnt they lost the battle,' and a wavu of laughter swept over the room, which increased ao Colonel Stewart retorted with "Jnst as I trust yon will lose this bill." In closinic he begged the Legislature, "in the name of the dead who rest in the hills of (iettsburg to leave them alone in their glory. " Concord J. H. Morrow and wife of Magic are be th seriously ill. The funeral of X. Pontius of Peacli ville was largely attended by citizens of Concord. Another 4th sand gusher 011 A 1 Starr farm came as a surprise to local oil men who thought that a western extension of the pool had been cut off in that direction. After tapping the pay streak drilling was suspended in order to remove the boiler and secure adequate tankage before drilling in the well. Its produc tion cannot as yet be estimate 1. Four teen new locations were made in Camp bell Hollow last week and a score or more in other parts of the Speechley Held. The Devonian Co s. Speechley well on Et Cumberland is in and is said to be the best well found in the western ex tension of the field. The well is report ed as being good for 9 barrels per day. I Some 25 or SO of Concords steady yeomanry attended court last week as ' witnesses in the suit brought against 1 the township for tresspasses and damages in maintaining repairs on the State road leading through the tw p. in which the twp secured a verdict. Dan McDeavitt, the only reliable and original Dan was in the City on Thurs i day. Dan says that he passed through Sonora unmolested. Revival meetings are in progress at Troutman M. E. church conducted by the pastor Rev. Small of Karns City. Much disappointment is expressed and much indignation is manifested at the discontinuance of R. F. D. route No. 74 on account of the delay in and disarrangement of mail intended for patrons of this route. The majority had provided themselves with approved boxes and the money loss thus expend ed is no small item. It has been diffi cult from the beginning to secure carriers for this route on account of a loop in the route that never should have been made and which extended to a point within 'A miles of West Sunbury. This loop shonld have been divided be tween two routes from West Sunbury that enter the twp. and one from Petrolia. Work on the new railroad is pro gressing finely and the grading will soon be accomplished. Surveyors are at work on another line that nearly parallels the new road and that crosses the same at J. N. Thompson's, sDuth of Hooker. The foreign element at work on this road are mostly a quiet, civil and intelligent class of persons. George W. Moser died at his home on Friday morning of an illness of long duration. By his death our twp. loses one of its most highly respected citizens. At different periods he held positions of profit and trust in the twp. which, in part, shows the high esteem manifested toward him by the home people. Mr. Moser was a brave and loyal soldier in the army of the Union during the Civil War.

MARY CLARK. In the death of Mrs. Mary Clark and daughter Emeline, of Middletown, not only the immediate family, but also the friends and neighbors have sustained a loss which has not its counterpart with in the recollection or our community. They were both lovely characters. This was an example of that beautiful confidence which should, but often does not, exist between mother and daugh ter. As WHS remarked by our pastor at the funeral of Mrs. Clark, "She was ca pable, faithful and patient." The same virtues were characteristic of the daughter. Always at their post. Always diligent in every good work Neither waited for sickness to make them ready for death, but long ago with all the promise of long life, their hearts were given to their Master. So while lying on beds of pain they had nothing to do but wait for the change which will surely come to all, aud may suddenly come to some. Their last sickness was contracted at the bedside of the aged father and grandfather, and although every thing was done which love and skill could de vise, the mother was first taken, and while sorrowing friends stood over Eme line hoping almost against hope that she would be spared, she too in less than a week passed away. The family has the sympathy of the entire community. While we feel this loss keenly we are not forgetful that in tense beyond comparison is the sorrow around the desolate fireside, where the places of these loved ones will ever be found vacant. May we all live sc that we may be reunited at the "marriage supper of the Lamb." A FRIEND.

When the first dam burst or reservoir wall gave way and the man on horseback sped down the valley with the alarm, he was doing exactly what would be done under the same circumstances genera tion after generation. He was giving the people in the line of the flood a chance for life. The man or woman who in some sud den peril has been plunged in the en gulfing wave, or caught in an upper chamber of a burning house; these know how all of present and future can be _ ___ covery." and Dr. Tierce. "My husband had been &K (fa, coughing for years and K_ '( \\v handed me a bottle of Dr. /, ll JLV O * IV. / v Pierce's Golden Medical J(i A J \ Discovery. My husband's V all Pn\ » .(// t" Js\ , ' recovery was remarkable.

IVo bottles WHAT WOULD :Y COST to consult the ordinary gathered into that brief sentence, "A chance for life." There is another class of people, those in danger from disease, who understand how much lies in those few words. There are meu and women living to-day in healthy, active enjoyment of life who can look back to the time when they were weak and emaciated, coughing un til the blood trickled over their lips, see ing no hope of escape from that dread disease consumption. But a chance for life came to them and they took it. "I feel very grateful for the home treatment given me by the World's Dis pensary Medical Association," writes Mr. T. J. I*. Brown, of Sands, Watauga Co., N. C. " I had catarrh for several years, then took grip, also had hemorrhage from the lungs. I had the l>est medical attention, but only to bring partial re lief. I got up for a few months, but had more hemorrhages. I too* Dr. K 's Discovery (twenty-five or thirty bottles), but in a few months I had more spells of bleeding. I wrote to Dr. Pierce and re ceived directions what kind of medicine to use; I commenced taking his 'Golden Medical Discovery' and Dr. Sage's Ca tarrh Remedy. I had only taken one bottle when I could see I was improving. I used five bottles of the ' Discovery' and three bottles of Dr. Sage's Catarrh Rem edy. I have been able to do any kind of labor for more than twelve months. Well, I just simply owe my life to the World's Dispensary Medical Association." A CHANCE FOR EVERY ONE. Arguing from the cures effected by the use of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis covery, there's a good chance of recov ery for every one who suffeis witli weak lungs, obstinate cough, bronchitis and other forms of disease which if neglected or unskilfully treated find a fatal termi nation in consumption. What the chance of recovery is may be determined by the fact that of the thousands of per- Tn} The CITIZ6N FOR JOS WORK sons who have used "Golden Medical Discovery" (and when necessary con sulted Dr. Pierce by letter, free), ninety eight per cent, have been perfectly and permanently cured. In severe cases of pulmonary disease "Golden Medical Dis covery " has worked wonders. It has come to the sick man or woman as a last resort. The breath came in gasps; the cough was deep and distressing, there were hemorrhages, night-sweats, emacia tion and great weakness. The doctor in many cases had gone his way saying "There's nothing more to be done." Then Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis covery was used and the cure began. The cough disappeared. The hemor rhages ceased. Flesh w.is put on. And the once hopeless sufferer was at length restored to the activities of labor and the enjoyment of life. Thousands wit ness to these facts and these witnesses know whereof they speak because they are men and women who testify that they owe their lives to "Golden Medical Dis specialist in dbeast-? More in most cases than the average person lias to spend in fees. Yet persons suffering from chronic diseases are invited to consult an extra ordinary Specialist by letter, free. Dr. Pierce, chief consulting physician to the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical In stitute, Buffalo, N. Y., is an extraordin ary specialist. He is extraordinary in an unbroken experience in the treatment and cure of disease which extends over thirty years. He is extraordinary in his success: 98 per cent, of those lie has treated being absolutely and entirely cured. He is extraordinary in that he puts at the disposal of correspondents not only his own services but the ser vices of his medical staff numbering nearly a score of qualified physicians. There is no other offer of free medical advice which has behind it so renowned an Institution as the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute, or such a successful specialist as Dr. Pierce. Write in confi dence to Dr. R. V. Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y. Dp not accept any substitute for " Gold en iledical Discovery." The medicine that dealers sometimes offer as "just as good" as Dr. Pierce's is not the medi cine which has cured the thousands who testify that when all other medicines failed "Golden Medical Discovery" re stored them to perfect and permanent health. A BOILED DOWN BOOK. Dr. Pierce's Common Sense Medical Adviser contains over a thousand large pages, and it has required this large number of leaves to contain even the " boiled down " medical wisdom of cent uries. It is a medical library in itself. It treats of life in its many phases and of disease in its many forms, from the view point of common sense and in plain Knglish.
