J. M. LEK.HXER, Chairman. In Columbia and Venezuela. The Colombian Congress to which the Panama Canal treaty, which onr own Senate is wrestling with,will be submit ted, was elected during the week. It is not positively known, or it has not at least been positively stated, whether a majority of the members are or are not in favor of approving the contract into which the government had previously entered, but the supporters of the trea ty profess to have no fears upon the sub ject. They say that the opposition is dying out, and that at Bogota, where public opinion is most influential, the feeling is gaining ground that the trea ty represents the very best bargain that Columbia cam hope to make and that to reject it would be an extremely foolish piece of business. In this connection it appears that the course pursued by Mr. Morgan has not been without some good result. It has convinced many Colombians who had their doubts upon the point that there is a conflict of judgment in the United States as to the value to this country of the proposed arrangement. Had the treaty been ratified at once without op position the cry would have been that the American Government was eager to consummate what it recognized as an uncommonly good bargain. In the meanwhile Colombia is so badly in need of money that it is making an enormous increase in her customs duties. For ex ample, the duty on cotton goods has been advanced from CO to 100 per cent, ad valorem; on hardware from 50 to 100 per cent, and on wines and spirits from 100 to 250 per cent. A country which is in the straits indicated by these figures is not likely to balk at a bargain which will place ten million dollars in its treasury. There has been scarcely any news from Venezuela, but that little has not been encouraging. The insurrection against the Castro regime is still going on, and while the insurgents are ap parently unable to make any substan tial progress, the government is equally unable to reduce them to submission. The situation looks like a case of stale mate, the more so as it is reported tha' Congress cannot be called together for the lack of a quorum. In Venezuela, as in Colombia, the financial crisis is acute. Not only have the duties on im ports been materially advanced, but such heavy export duties have been im posed that merchants are finding it im practicable to do business. At Maraeaibo the exportation of cof fee baa ceased, and the business men de clare that they are worse off now than they were during the blockade. So much for the rasnlt of throoio nongov ernment. —lnquirer. AT Washington, last Friday, the Democratic members of Congress select ed Senator A. P. Gorman of Maryland, as their political leader. THE bulls tossed np cotton last week, then the bears clawed it down and hug - ged it, then the bulls got it again and tossed it np, and then the bears had it again, and so on A man named Sully > WHS the chief bull, and his game is to tie np all the cotton in sight and put corners on it. The deal is not yet end ed. It cost a young Leiter of Chicago about ten millions of dollars to try to corner all the wheat in the country a few years ago. UAUBISBUBU. Last week the Senate appointed a committee of seven and the House a committee of seven to confer and report in regard to road legislation. A. M. Douthett, one of our members, had the honor of being one of the seven compos ing the committee from the House. This is nn honor not usually compared on a new member. Without a single negative vote the Goehring Greater Pittsbnrg bill passed finally in the Senate Monday night. Thirty-six Senators, all of thote present, voted aye. There was no debate. The bill was first on the third reading calen dar, and, after the title had been read the roll was called. On Tuesday serions opposition to the Greater Pittsbnrg bill developed in the Honse. The fight against it will be made by members of the Allegheny county delegation. In its present shape the measure is unsatisfactory to the country members, and some of the city members will op pose it. None of these claim to be agaist the general proposition, but say that it is defective in its present form and, while possibly satisfactory to the cities of Pittsburg and Allegheny, such is not the case in regard to the lwroughs 'and townships. Ex-Judge John J. Henderson of Mead ville takes the place on the superior court bench vacated by Judge William W. Porter of Philadelphia. Henderson's appointment was sent to the senate Monday night along with that of Mictiael W. Jacobs ot Harrisburg, to be additional law judge of Dauphin county vice John W. Simonton, deceased, and Martin (i. Brumbaugh of Philadelphia to l<e a member of the Valley Forge park commission. The nominations were continued. • The Blumle bill, providing that the state shall give gold medals to the mothers of large families, was favor ably reported Tuesday afternoon by the house committee on health and san'ta tion. The committe also passed favor ably on the Kepler bill prohibiting mis cegenation. Mr. Blumle has received many com plimentary letters, but there are ex ceptions. He received a letter from a Philadelphia man, which reads: Sir— If you are earnest about the pro- Swsed bill to reward mothers of 12 clill Iren and over, then you must, be a very foolixh person and it is beyond my com prehension that any constituency should nave elected you. Perhaps you are simply advertising yourself. I would —had I the jiower—draft a bill that would have for its object the imprison ment for one year for each child over six children that any father of a family Erodaced, so that you would, under my ill, have six years in jail due you. Tlie l»r. Stepp Case. Dr. Lawrence H. Stepp of Glade Mills was pat on trial Tuesday morning on a charge of rape entered against him by 'Squire Thomas McMillin of the same place. The crime was alleged to have been committed in the Doctor s office in January. 1901. on the prosecutors daughter Helen, who was then under 16 years of age. The information was made in July, 1902, and trial had twice been postponed on account of illness of Dr. Stepp. Abont half the population of old Middlesex was in the Court Room when the case was called. Attorneys Clarence Walker and McQuistion tV: Yanderlin were associated with the Dis trict Attorney on the prosecution. Dr. Stepp was defended by Thomas M Marshall. Jr., of Pittsburg. S. F. and A. L. Bowser and Painter & Mnrrin. After two hours of challenging the venire was exhausted and but ten jurors had been secured. They were S. J. Dambach, Forward twp; W. B. Stalker. Venango; John Midberrv. Marion: John S. Byers, Petrolia: M G. Fullerton. Clearfield: E. H. Bailey, Jr., Petersville; J. Dal Smith, Centre: McClelland Coopei, Worth: E. F. Snyder, Brady; and Squire Jos. Cochran of Harrisville. Milton Miller and Frank Frantz were then called from the audience by Sheriff Gibson on direction of Judge Galbreath. Clarence Walker opened for the Com monwealth, over forty witnesses were sworn by the Commonwealth. The first called waa Mrs. Mary Ogden McMillin. mother of Helen, she stated that Helen was born March 27, 1883. That in Dec., 1900, Helen complained of being ill with a female trouble and she sent her to Dr. Stepp, who was their family physician and friend, for treatment. That after a few visits to the Doctor's office, Helen refused to go back, saying he had not treated her right, but not stating how. The mother s suspicions were not arous ed and not till she had heard of reports in circulation about her daughter last Jul}* did she closely question Helen, who then told what had happened. Thomas McMillin, the father, was then called, and was only questioned as to Helen's age. On cross-examination he denied that he had never offered in Dr. Stepp's office to settle for SSOO or had offered Mrs. Finefrock. and Edward Alexander, neighbors, |SO if they would enter similar charges against Stepp. He faid Rev. Smith was the first to tell him of bad reports about Helen. That after the grand jury had found a true bill against Stepp," the latter stopped when passing his livery barn one night, and asked how a settlement could l>e made. "I said if I had a shot gnn I d settle it right now. Dr. Stepp said if you don't settle I'll ruin yonr daughter's character forever. 1 replied that a man who only got six and a fourth cents for his own character couldn't ruin other people's." Helen McMillin, a small modest-look ing girl of seventeen, was called and stated that in January, 1901, Dr. Stepp bad twice taken advantage of her in his operating office when he was treating her for ovarian trouble, and that she had never behaved improperly with other men. Herevidence was well given and no amount of cross-questioning could confuse her. The prosecution then offered wit nesses against Dt. Stepp's good reputa tion but these were set aside for the time and the Commonwealth rested. S. F. Bowser opened for the defence. Dr. Stepp took the stand and stated that Helen had consulted him privately in Sept., 1900, and that at the time of the alleged crime he was treating her for another cause tbnn that previously stated and was also treating a young man named James Heelep for the same. That there was no truth in the shotgun story. That on the night of Feb 7, Mc- Millin came to his office when Elmer J. Thompson, h medical student and neighbor, and W. B. Kelly, the Doctor's brother-in-law, were there, and offered to settle the case for SSOO. Thompson and Kelly testified the same and said the Doctor replied he wouldn't give 500 cents, and the only place the case could be settled was in court. Thomp son also told of an occurence when ho was teacher of the Cooperstown schoqj in 1899-1900, which was very damaging to the prosecution. Mrs. Finefrock testified lhat McMil lin had offered her SSO if she would deny that Helen had said to her that Dr. Stepp had never acted improperly to ward her and would enter a similar charge. The trial was continued Wednesday morning John M. Hilliard denied the story told by Mrs. Finefrock that he had asked her to tell Doctor Stepp that Helen McMillin was in trouble, that he (Dr. Stepp) was blamed for it, and that for a sum of money Hilliard would take her away and get her married to some man. The rest of the day was occupied with bearing witnesses called to uphold and break down reputations. At 2:80 P. M. the evidence was all in and Marshall addressed the jury for the deft, and McQuistion for the Common wealth. The evidence taken, all in all. was most contradictory. It developed during the day that stories were circulated concerning Helen McMillin and Hilliard last Summer. For the defence Mrs. Weigel and Clara Logan stated that they were in Dr. Stepp's office twice in January, 1901, when Helen was there. Both times Miss McMillin was treated first and was not in the operating room more than five or ten minutes. At five o'clock Judge Galbreath had finished his charge and the jury retired. This morning the jury was still dis agreed and asked the Court whether there were two counts, rape and adnl • terv. and whether they could acquit on the first and convict on the second. WASH INGTON NOTES. With a lavish display of floral and feminine beauty, the extraordinary ses sions of the United States senate opened at noon last Thursday. The new mem bers were sworn in, the message from the president was read and the prelimi naries were attended to, after which the senate adjourned until Monday. During the short session, Mr. Can non's speech iu the House, in presenting the conference report on the general de ficiency bill, in which he charged that the senate conferees had resorted to leg islative blackmail, and attacked the rules of the senate, formed the subject of some fervid remarks by Mr. Tillman and by the senate conferees, Messrs Hale, Allison and Teller. ' Senator Quay and party left for Florida in a private car, Thursday morning. When Reed Smoot, the new Senator from Utah, went forward, escorted by lys colleague, Senator Kearns, he was applauded. Two-thirds of those in the galleries were women, and yet the apostle who believes in polygamy, but says he does not practice it, was given a most royal greeting. Whether this was because he really has half a dozen wives or might have had them if he would and yet only has one, is a matter for con jecture. Nevertheless he certainly had no reason to complain of his reception. As was expected.no objection was made to his taking the oath of office. There will be an investigation ot the charges against him, of course, but it is safe to say he will serve out his six years' term, if he lives, and he looks healthy enough. Senator Penrose was the only Senator without a sponsor. President Roosevelt seems determin ed to have the Senate reach a decision of some kind on the appointment of colored men to office in the South. One of his first acts Thursday was to re nominate Dr. W. D. Crnm, colored, for collector of customs at the port of Charleston. S. C. At the session just closed Dr. Crum's nomination was re ported unfavorably from the Committee on Commerce by the solid vote of the Democratic members and of Senators Joues, of Nevada, and Perkins, of Cali fornia. Republicans Senator Tilltnnn made a bitter fight against Crnm and had much to do with the action of the committee. It is understood that the President, should a similar result be had at this session, will not insist on the appointment of Crnm, bnt will promptly name someone else for the place. "Grow s Half Century in Congress is to be the title of a book which ex-Rep resentative Galusha A. Grow will begin to write.on his return to his home in Susquehanna county. after a few months spent in travel for rest and rec reation. Next winter he will come to Washington. wh"re he can convenient ly consult the records of Congress and books treating upon the ante-bellum period in which he was so prominent, and he will write this work npon his personal recollections of public men and affairs during the past half century. The book will be issued in two volumes. Mr. Grow saying that it would be im possible to tell the story of his public life and matters connected therewith in bnt one. On Monday it w&s stated that the op ponents of the isthmian canal conven tion in its present form wenld take only a week to state their objections and urge amendments. The treatj* will then be allowed to come to a vote. A statement to this effect was made by Senator Morgan. The treaty was con sidered briefly in the committee on foreign relations and reported to the senate, where it was again read. The senate then adjourned until next day when Mr. Morgan resumed his argu ments in favor of amending. Senator Morgan of Ala. caught his second wind Tuesday and began a re hearsal of bis three-weeks speech on the canal question, for the benefit of the thirteen new members; but he is ex pected to break down in a few days, and then ' senatorial courtesy"' will al low the bill to pass.

Mc- Call were unexpectedly summoned to mourn his death, which occurred, Mon day evening. Feb. 2i5, at 8:80 o'clock. He was formerly of this county being a son of Mr. and Mrs. S. R. McCall.weil known citizens of this county. lie re ceived his early education at W. Sun bury Academy and, after choosing the medical profession, attended the Balti more Medical College, where he giadn ated with honors in 1894. After a brief visit parents and friends he went to Lima. Ohio, where be immediately be gan the practice of medicine. He was always a conscientious, earnest man and proved to be one of the ablest of his profession. He was chosen health offi cer three years ago and was re-elected by the board for his second term. Dr. McCall had for sometime been a sufferer from kidney trouble. Ilis dis ease gradually overcame the organs and uranic poisoning set in causing his death. He was seemingly in good health the evening preceeding hisd'-ath, and retired at 8:110 at the home of bis uncle, Win. P. Thompson, where he had his rooms. Hearing a groan Mr. Thomp son went to his room at 8:80 and found him unconscious, Dr. was cull ed and, with other Physicians, was at his bedside constantly until the end came, he never having regained con sciousness. D. E. T. Funeral of He v. McKee. The largest assemblage of people ever gathered together in Butler was that at the funeral of the late John Shields Mc- Kee D. D., last Saturday afternoon. In the church building which stands a monument to this grand and good man, on the spot where for nearly nineteen years he had spoken to his flock in the fear and love of God, were assembled a great concourse of all denominations and from pvery walk of life, many of whom had come long distances. It is estimated that 1200 were seated in the church and it is safe to say that several hundred tried in vain to gain admittance. Dr. McKee's pulpit was draped in black. In front of it was arranged a great bank of tloral tributes to his memory. The funeral services were conducted by Pres. It. G. Ferguson of Westminster ccllege. Rev. Dr. McClelland made a brief opening prayer. Rev. l)r Mc- Caslin of Greenville read the scriptures which was followed by prayer by Dr. R. M. Russell, pastor of the Sixth United Presbyterian church of Pitts burg, in which Dr. McKee was baptized and raised. Dr. Ferguson then paid a most touch ing tribute to the memory of his de ceased co-laborer In the Lord's vine yard. One of his closing sentences was "Earth is poorer by thy going and Heaven richer." Dr. PruKh of St. Paul's Orphans home spoke an the representative of the IJnt ler clergy, and itev. J. Hal. Breaden of the West Sunbury United Presbyterian church, told of Dr. McKoe's faithful and untiring work in lintler Presbytery. Rev. Dr. W. I). Witherspoon of A lie gheuy spoke of Dr. McKee's quit, un assuming yet never failing and all im portant work as clerk of the First Synod of the West and as President of the Hoard of Directors of Westminster col lege. During the service the choir hh»k the 23d, Olut, 43d and 121 st Psalm*. Dr. S. W. drier, President of the Allegheny Theological Seminary, pro nonnced the benediction. The audience were then accorded one brief sad glance at the face that once shown with kind liness and helpful hope, with charity for all, with zeal for the work of his Master. Then all that was earthly of John S. McKee was bora to the North cemetery and laid to rest. ■KKm-Ai-j, ii ifiiiirnHi ■■■■ Aj/er's One dose of Ayer's Cherry Pectoral at bedtime prevents night coughs of children. No croup. No bronchitis.
