HENRY A. WAGNER, of Jefftrson twp. Third run. POLITICAL. Two new announcements for Jury Commissioner, this week. The Pittsburg Times asserts that Mathues is to have the nomination for State Treasurer, with the salary raised from |5.000 to #IO,OOO, on account of his treachery to El kin. The fight in Lawrence county over the succession to the Honorable Wil liam Wallace is already on. Both factions will try to capture the County Committee at Saturday's primaries. At the local elections in Ohio, Mon day the Republican tickets in Cincin nati and Columbus won, but the Demo crats carried Cleveland. The spring elections in that state are of unusual import, this year, on account of a new law requiring the election of all officers in all cities and towns. State Senator Focht says that U. S. Senator M, S. Quay, will resign his office, in the near future, and that Gov Pennvpacker will appoint Quay's son Dick, to fill his unexpired term. Focht goes on to say: "Gov. Penny packer, I am told, sympathizes with Quay in this matter. His own exper ience clearly demonstrated the fact that Quay is possessed of an incomparable judgment when it comes to passing upon conditions for high offices. Hence the governor will do anything in his power to prevent a mistake being made in regard to Quay's succession. "The present legislature is singularly blind. Quay and the governor both realize this fact. They know that if the senior senator should resign prior to April 10 that the general assembly might elect any one of a half dozen men to fill the vacancy, also that Dick Quay wonld not be on the list of eligi bles. "And this is why Col. Quay does not intend to trouble the legislature with the matter. He will wait till the legis lature has adjourned, April 16, and then he will fulfill his time-honored promise to retire from active politics. Gov. Pennypacker is not one who would permit the great state of Pennsylvania to be without proper representation in the upper house of Congress. He will re gret Col. Quay's retirement. Of that I have not the least doubt. But he will appoint Dick to fill the vacancy. It's a family matter, anyway, and the governor is one who has a high regard for political reciprocity. He owes his nomination and election to Quay, and the appointment of Dick would even matters. "By this arrangement Dick would be able to serve two years in the United States senate, long enough to sprout a constituency, which might re-elect him at the next session. And this is his father's program. Nothing can inter fere with it except the governor, and he will not. The 'Old Man' has cfteu told me that Dick has the most important qualification for a seat in the United States Senate—plenty of money. By get ting there via the appointment route, he will not impair this most essential pre requisite, and it will be available when needed two years from now. WHEN it was announced a few days ago that the British Government had decided to recommend a grant of $150,- 000 for the purpose of helping to make a creditable display at the St. Louis Ex position there was much surprise and not a little dissappointment at the com parative smalhiess of the amount. More than twice as much had been ap propriated for a like object by the German Reichstag, and, all things con sidered, it was felt, not without good reason, that the British should be ex pected to do more and to go further in this connection than the Germans. This Legislature has passed two acts which are of the first importance in con nection with public education. Eleven millions of dollars have been appropri ated for the next two years and a law has been passed making the minimum salary of teachers thirty-five dollars per month. The last act is excellent so far as it goes, but eyery person connected with school management knows that it is not sufficient for the needs of certain communities The total sum paid by State and local taxes for schools per capita of attendance is about S2B a year, a sum that is probably the largest in any community in the world—certainly involving the largest aid afforded by any State. If properly expended this sum ought to accomplish a great deal. FRATERNAL organizations that issue beneficial life assurance are far from b 'ing favorably impressed with the doctrines of the Christain Scientists. One of these, the Lodge of Foresters, has refused to pay the claim of the widow of a disciple of this faith, who died a few weeks ago of jaundice ai Lansing, Michigan. The proofs sent to the Superior Court of Foresters on the widows claim under his SI,OOO policy showed that, although he was seriously ill for two weess, a physician did not attend him until the day before his death. The Forestors have rejected the claim under the section of their con stitution, which withdrawn* the benefit of insurance from any who neglect to procure or refuse to receive medical aid. THE World's Fair at St. Louis will not be ready for visitors until 1004, but the dedication ceremonies will take place in the Palace of Liberal Arts on the 30th of this month. This is the hundreth anniversary of the signing of the Louisiana treaty. President Roose velt will dedicate the exposition, and | the principal address will be delivered I by ex President Cleveland. A chorus of three thousand voices will furnish the ; music. Not enly will President Roose velt attend, but the members of his 1 Cabinet: the foreign ambassadors and I ministers and the entire diplomatic j corps; the Chief Justice and Associate I Justice of the Supreme Court; the mem j bers of both branches of Congress: a i number of the highest officers in the' army and navy; the Governors of near ; ly all the States and Territories, with 1 their staffs; and many other persons of '■ distinction^ HAKRISBURti. Gov. Pennypacker, ou Monday, vetoed the bill regulating the practice of barbering, and a bill authorizing one railroad to buy part of another, as be ing unconstitutional. The Cook anti trading stamp bill passed finally in the Honse Tuesday. A duplicate, introduced by Mr. Woods of Allegheny, has passed the Senate,which insures the passage of the Cook bill, which now goes to the Senate, where, after comparison, it will be read once and passed finally. The Senate has another fool libel bill under consideration. "Fortunately the liberty of the press is guaranteed by the Constitution, along with free speech. Certain publications are privileged and courts and juries have not the same in centives to hate the publication of the truth that actuate some politicians. A SOUTHERN paper sums up the Burdick case as follows: "If the coroner's jury would declare that Pen nell murdered Burdick and thf n com mitted suicide, and recommend that Mrs. Burdick be hanged by the neck until she was dead, it would about hit the nail on the head and mete out exact justice in the case. '' WASHINGTON NOTES. The Sec yof State has selected D. T. Watson of Pittsburg, as a member of the Alaskan boundary commission. A year and nine months have passed since the reduction of the internal revenue taxes took effect which was ex pected to cut off seventy million dollars each year. The year which ended last July showed a very decided falling off in the net revenues, but nothing like the amount expected, though this was largely due to increased receipts from other sources. In the last nine months the Nation's pocketbook has made a better showing than ever, with the re sult that there is at present an increase in the available cash balance of $45,000,- 000 over the same date a year ago. The following figures are for receipts during the nine months ending March 31 for the two years mentioned: 1002. 1903. Customs $190,181. 892 $219,235,237 Internal rev.. 203,865,912 172,211,984 Miscellaneous. 24,955,075 31.046,1 <9 Total 1419,002,879 $423,093,400 These are the expenditures for the same period: 1902. 1903.

This last point, my fellow citizens, is all important, and is one which as a people we can never afford to forget. I believe in the Monroe doctrine with all my heart and soul; I am convinced that the immense ma jority of our fellow-countrymen so be lieve in it; but I would infinitely prefer to see us abandon it than to see us put it forward and bluster about it, and yet fail to build up the efficient fighting strength which in the last resort can alone make it respected by any strong foreien power whose interest it may ever happen to be to violate it. Boasting and blustering are as objec tionable among nations as among indi viduals, and the public men of a great nation owe it to their sense of national self-respect to speak courteously of foreign powers, jnst as a brave and self respecting man treats all around him courteously. But though to boast is bad, and causelessly to insult another, worse; yet worse than all is to be guilty of boasting, even without insult, and when called to the proof to be unable to make such boasting good. There is a homely old adage which runs: "Speak softly and carry a big stick; and you will go far." The First Clear Night. (By the Prospect Star Club.) It is astonishing how little people know about the stars that nightly pass in silence over their heads. These are the same stars that stood out there in the blue sky before you were born, before Columbus with their aid dis covered America; yes, they were there "in the beginning." In the oldest writings of the oldest nations we find these same stars described. We find them mentioned in the Old Testament books of Job and Amos. Yet if we happen to look at them at all we show but a passing interest in them. The first clear night at eight o'clock, look northward. You will easily make out the Great Bear, or Big Dipper as it is usually called. It is composed of seven very bright stars. The cup of the dipper is inverted at this hour, Tne last two stars on the outer side of the cup were named Dubhe -and Merak by the ancients. They are best known as the "Pointers" because they point to the North Star, Dubhe being the nearer one to the North Star The North Star being almost directly in line with the earth's axis, appears in the same place from night to night, if we were at the North Pole, it would be exactly overhead. Around the North or Pole Star all the other stars make a great circle in a days time. Some of the most northern constellations or star-groups never set but are visible in all positions. But those farther away from the Pole Star are only visible to us in part of their circle, rising in the east and setting in the west [A neat device for showing this daily rising and setting is Whittaker's Plainsphere, published by T. Whittaker, 2 and 3 Bible House, New York, Price 65 cents, postpaid. ] The North Star is very distant from us, so far indeed, that it takes its light forty-eight years to reach the earth. This is a long distance, for light, altho not instantaneous, is very swift, the swiftest thing in the universe, traveling twelve million miles in a minute. Next week we will become acquaint ed with some more of the prominent constellations. This will do for a be ginning. "If you want to know eternity and live—look at the stars " Brady twp. J. G.

OT*R exports of manufactured goods have increased $220,000,000 in the past eight years. From a nation so long known principally for our exports of agricultural and mineral products, we are developing into a manufacturing one. Scliool Notes. At the meeting of the School Board of Bntler, Friday night, it was recog nized that the First Ward needs more school rooms, but the Board has not yet decided whether to build on the old lot. or secure another location. The Ground Committee was authoriz ed to look for locations in the 3d and sth Wards; and another effort will be made to secure the old cemetery lot on Mc- Kenn St. for a High School. The School Board will, this year, re fuse to exonerate any school taxes. The entertainment given by the scholars of the Broad street school, last Thursday evening, was largely attend ed. and netted sllO for the piano fund. OIL NOTES. The Market—Both agnecies are yet paying $1.50 for Penn'a oil. On the Dean farm in East Deer town ship, near Culmervilie. Allegheny coun ty, last week, McFetridge Bros, struck a" big fourth sand well. The Dean well came in about a year ago a« a ga=ser and was sold by the McFetridges to the Westinghouse Co for $25,000. The cas ing leaked, the well watered out, and Westinghouse abandoned it. Then Mc- Fetridges, who had reserved the oil, entered again drilled to the Fourth j.nd their good lack followed. Ferd Reiber, McAboy, Reed & Myers have two small wells on the Ackley farin immediatly north. Clearfield twp—The Southern Oil Co. and the Standard are leasing up every thing in sight around and south of Coylesville. Texas—According to the statistics of the Beaumont Daily Enterprise the shipment of petroleum from the Beau mont oil field from the Ist to the 30th of March amounted to 741,328 barrels This is an average of 24,731 barrels a day. The Oil Investors' Journal says that on March 1 the field statistics show ed 111 wells that were being operated. The production of 31 of these for 20 days in March averaged 11,250 barrels a day, or over 3(50 barrels to the well. With oil at 70 cents a barrel the owners of these wells are making more money than oil producers anywhere else in the world. "ACCIDENTS. Vincent Phillips, aged 19 years, and formerly of Zelienople, was struck by a train and killed at Beaver Falls, a few days ago.
