CURRENT EVENTS.
* Memorial day was the beginning of
the summer excursion season and the
crowd that came to Butler, that day,
was astonishing. This Nation is, at
present, the most prosperous on Earth,
and when an American has money he
likes to "go,' which accounts for the
prosperfy of the railroads notwithstand
ing the numerous wrecks. This will
* probably be the best summer for the
railroads and street-car lines, they have
ever known.
Even-thing is lively in Pennsylvania,
this year, excepting politics. There is
no local contest, aud the Republican
majority in the state is so tremendou ,
that nomination means election no
matter what the record of the nominee
or how the nomination was secured. In
Ohio the tilt between Hanna and For
aker was ended by the back-down of
Hanna, and in New York City, the ef
fort of Policeman Devery to succeed
Mayor Low is making things interest
ing. Nearly all the Northern and
Western states haye endorsed Roose
velt, and, bariing accident, he will be
the nominee of the next Republican
National Convention by acclamation
Kansas, otherwise known as the Sun
flower state, is in trouble again. Since
her history began it has been a story of
blood, drouth and plague, and last week
she had a new trouble—excessive rain
and great floods, which drowned some
of her people and destroyed millions of
dollars worth of property But the
people of Kansas are aggressive and
thrifty, and she was never in better
condition to withstand trouble than
now—though there be many sorrowing
families within her borders.
Forty years after the middle of the
Civil War Memorial Day was fittingly
observed all over the Northern states.
Two million men and boys unlisted dur
ing the four years war and of these
nearly a million yet live. The average
age of those in the army of 1863 was
estimated at 23. which would make the
survivors of today average 6.1. The
last census revealed the fact that the
average age of the people of this Nation
bas increased three years, due to recent
inventions that have made life more
comfortable.
The surprising rumor comes from
Chicago that the Goulds have secured
control of the B. & o.,but as the owner
ship of the stock of this road, like that
of all the other great corporations of
the country, is widely distributed, the
story is doubtful. The Penn a Co. at
present has operating control of the B.
& 0., the officials of the road being
selections of the Penn'a, through the
latter does not control a ma jority of the
B. & O. stock.
The special session of the Colombian
Congress called for the consideration of
the Canal treaty will open on the 20th
of this month, and it is now said that
the Columbians will reject the treaty
for the reason that the franchises of the
French company will expire in October
of next year when the property will
revert to the Columbians, and they will
be entitled to the $40,000,000 our Gover
ment has agreed to pay for it. Some of
the Colombians, also, object to sur
rendering sovereignty over the canal
zone.
The Russian goverment has expelled
the correspondent of the London Times
from the country for making public the
massacre at Kishineff and commenting
unfavorably upon Russian officials. Ac
cording to a dispatch from Berlin the
Czar has issued urgent orders that Jew
killing cease, and it is said that this
order was issued'at the instance of M.
Witte. the Minister of Finance, who
has told the Czar that, as Russia is
heavily indebted to Hebrew financiers
•of London, Paris and Berlin, a continn
ation of the anti-Semite outrages would
have a bad effect and might involve the
- Russian treasury in disaster—an argu
-. ipfcnt that beats Clareuce Dindinger's
. for voting down the Pennypacker reso
' lution.
Over in England the tariff speeches
of Joseph Chamberlain, Foreign Secre
tiry, are attracting attention and it is
: predicted that England will, within a
few years give up her free trade policy
—the first British Transyaal Parliament
opened in Pretoria a few days sgo—
* Russia continues to encroach upon
China and Corea—the Balkans have be
; come quiet, etc.
;• The War Department ami the
Hri<lges.
It was a far-sighted and, as events
have proved, a pre eminently successful
policy to place the supervision and pro
tection of our natural waterways and
harbors in the hands of the War De
partment. Before a bridge can be
' thrown across a navigable river, estuary
or strait, before certain piers can Ire
. run out into a harbor beyond certain
bulkhead lines that have been laid
'■ down, it is necessary to obtain the per
misiion of the War Department. In
safeguarding the interests of river
traffic, so far as it is affected by the
' erection of bridges, it has been the ob
' ject of the War Department to see that
no supporting piers are built in mid
stream that will materially interfere
.■ with navigation, and that bridges are
either built at an elevation which will
fc'.low shipping to pass without hind
ranee beneath them, or that they are
; provided with drawbridges of sufficient
span to allow shipping to pass through
; without danger of collision. So also
" -with regard to harbor piers and bulk
heads, the War Department has ex
ercised a jealous care that certain lines
which they have drawn as marking the
limits of the harbors are not encroached
U|>on by docks aud landing piers. Had
it not been for the professional fidelity
with which our military officers have
performed their respective duties, in
calculable injury would have been
wrought to the shipping interests of
this country, both inland, river and
de.'p sea, by the obstruction of water
wiys and by destructive encroachments
npon the deep-water area of onr liar
bois —Sci. Am.
EARTHQUAKES in Asiatic Turkey are
making life terrible. Two thousand
persons are reported to have perished.
The Original Exeiise.
Some time ago there were cable re
ports that the United States Ambassador
to Russia, disheartened by being mis
taken for a common person when clad
in the ordinary dress of an American
citizen, had decided to adopt a gorgeous
court costume for use at the Czar's
ceremonials. If memory does not fail
us among the details of the uniform, as
reported, were sky blue knickerbockers
with gold lace, a coat which rivaled
that of Joseph, gold-braided, befrogged
and buttoned, aud several minor ac
cessories, crowned with a cocked hat.
AmbassadorM'Cormick returned to these
shores yesterday, and of course one of
the first questions put to him was about
his sartorial creation. The veracious
chronicler avers that the Ambassador
laughed and declared that the descrip
tion sent by the correspondents was
meant to apply to the costume worn by
Mrs. McC'ormick aud not to that worn
by him.
If that was the case the Ambassador's
mirth can be easily understood. Never
theless. most people will hesitate about
accepting his explanation literally.
Popular ignorance of the fantastic
fashions in eourt millinery at St.
Petersburg might lead to the acceptance
of a cocked hat as befitting an Arubas
sadress. Even a variegated coat or
cloak might pass unnoticed, but candor
compels us to draw the line at those
light blue garments. The Ambassador's
word to the contrary, we must fall
back upon the theory that he is merely
resorting to the Adamic excuse by
blaming it on the woman.—Pittsburg
Dispatch.
"THE desire to be alone," says Scho
penhauer, "is in direct proportion to
one's intellectual capacity. As a gener
al rule man's sociability stands in in
verse ratio to his intellectual value."
People who have no mental resources
feel bored when alone, and like to be in
a gay and frivolous cr.»wd, where they
can laugh at all the little nothings that
are said.
PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT'S remark
able electionering trip, according to
program, comes to an end to morrow,
when his train will be due at the
Penn'a. station in Washington.
Never before has a President of the
L'nited States made a "swing around
the circle" like the ' present tour
During the trip, which will have lasted
50 days, he will have traveled upwards
of 14,000 miles and addressed upwards
of 3,000.000 people.
A MARYLAND widow recently had a
gold orown put on a tooth by a local
dentist, The work was not satisfactory
and sh£ refused to pay tell it was made
right. While she was sitting in the
dentist's chair for him to inspect the
crown the dentist pulled the tooth, say
ing he was taking back the gold that
was not paid ior. The widow sued the
dentist for |B,OOO datnageß and last week
a jnrv awarded her the sum of $l5O.
If the foundation for a gold crown
just a root—in one's mouth is worth
$l5O, how much ought a whole mouth
ful of sound teeth to be worth.
IT having been stated thai two mem
bers of the Legislature were slated by
the Governor for State positions. Repre
sentative Selby of Philadelphia for
deputy factory inspector and Represen
tative Ripp of the same city as agent for
the Dairy and Food Department, the
Philadelphia Ledger directed the atten
tion of Governor Pennypacker to the
constitutional inhibition that "no Sena
tor or Representative shall during the
time for which he shall have been elect
ed be appointed to any civil office under
this Commonwealth." and commenttd
upon the desirability of having the Exec
utive at least respect the Constitution
The Governor has frankly acknowl
edged his error and states that the ap
pointments will not now bo made. He
adds that this "is one of the few oc
casions where I have found a news
paper to be of real service in the con
duct of public affairs."
Great Flood in Kansas.
Last Saturday was a sad Memorial
day for the people of North Tppeka.
Kansas, a town of about ten thousand
people, which was almost entirely de
stroyed by flood and flame.
Ten days of almost continuous down
pour swelled the Kansas river, usually
a shallow stream, into a terrible flood,
which covered North Topeka —located
across the riyer from the main town
and on low ground—up to the second
stories of the houses; and to add to the
horror a fire started.and burning houses
went floating around. Many people
had to chose between death by drown
ing in the swift current, or by burning.
The current was too swift for boats.
Ihe river was five miles wide, aud the
people ol' Topeka were unable to help
their suffering neighbors on the other
"fiide of the cunent. From the dome of
the State Capitol eighty tires were
counted in North Topeka at one time,
and people were teen clinging to roofs
aud tree tops.
The flood extended over eastern
Kansas, and parts of Missouri. Ne
braska and lowa, and betides North
Topeka parts of the towns of Salina,
Lawrence, Des Moines, Lincoln, Bea
trice, Ottumwa, and Kansas City were
flooded. The entire number of people
who perished by the flood is estimated
at two hundred, while several thousand
wero made homeless. The property
loss runs into the millions.
Honoring Sherman.
To the veterans of the Civil War, to
the soldiers of other wars, and to all
who took part in the Decoration Day
parade in New York; last Saturday, as
well as to the general public, the chief
feature of the day's celebration was the
honor done to the memory of General
William Tecumseh Sherman, one of the
gaeat commanders of the Civil War anil
the hero of Sherman's March to the Sea
Hundreds of veterans of the war in
which General Sherman played such a
conspicuous part, many of the nation's
soldiers and thousands of citizens stood
in line that day and witnessed the unveil
ing of St Gauden's equestrian statue of
Sherman, which was recently erected in
the oval plot at the Fifty-ninth street
and Fifth avenue entrance to Central
Park.
A Remarkable Dividend Record
The impending issue by the Penn
sylvania of $75,000,000 new capital stock
directs attention to the earning capac
ity of the system and its probable abil
ity to continue to pay dividends at the
present rate on the increased capitalize
tion. -The average dividend rate dur
ing the past 40 years has been 0.5 per
cent., and the company has not missed
a cash payment in its entire dividend
history of li years, although the rate
liaß varied,
The Penn'a was chartered in 1840
with a capital amounting to $7,500,000,
which has since been increased from
time to time until it is $202,000,000
It will shortly become $277,000,000, and
the difference between the latter fig
ure and the original capitalization gives
an idea of the tremendous growth of
the system. The company began pay
ing dividends in lsviO. since when, it is
estimated, the stockholders have receiv
ed in dividends sums aggregating
$200,000,000. For years the annual
dividend rate was 10 per cent.,and no
year has the company paid less than 5
per cent, In addition to their divi
dends the stockholders have frequently
Iteen given valuable rights in new stock
issues. In view of this history it is not
remarkable that no objection has been
made by stockholders to the company's
plan to sp."nd over $100,000,000 for bet
terments, which, ;t is expected, will in
sure a permanent continuation of the
company's wonderful dividend record.
Chicago Record Herald.
l'utler Comity Schools.
From my regular annual report to
the State Superintendent I take a few
items.
We had in our county this last school
year two hundred and fifty-three school
houses, and three hundred and six
school rooms.
Sixty-four of our teachers were begin
ners and ninety-one had taught for five
or more years.
The youngest teacher in the countv
was 19 years old. and the oldest one was
about 50.
Three new school houses were built
during the year, sis were supplied with
new furniture, several were repainted
and one was burned down.
I held fifteen public examinations, is
sued three hundred and nine provisional
certificates, fifteen professional certi
orates and refused about one hundred
applicants.
To refuse a certificate or a diploma to
an}* applicant for same is no pleasant
task lam sure: but in justice to the
cause which I am sworn to defend, and
on behalf of the boys and girls of our
schools, and for the good of our future
citizenship, this unpleasant duty must
be done. As time moves onward civili
zation demands harder tests, more sac
rifice and better work from all people—
the teacher not excepted, and because
of this some fail.
More local institutes and educational
meetings were held this last year than
usual. I attended and took part in
twenty six such meetings, besides at
tending three county institutes outside
of our own county.
I here want to publicly thank teach
ers, patrons, and pupils for the interest
they took in this important part of the
work. I know of no better way to
the educational status of a com
munity than just to watch the part the
people take in educational meetings,
etc. Its a sure guide.
Our fall meeting for teachers held in
Butler was a success in every way, and
its influence was felt throughout the
year, two hundred teachers were pres
ent. The attendancf in our schools was
very good during the first half of the
year, but during the last half of the
term it was not so good.
At one time there were thirty-one of
our schools closed because of small pox.
This should cause parents to have their
children vaccinated.
Poor attendance is possibly the great
est barrier we have in our schools to
day. I wish I could here make such an
appeal to our parents that during our
next term of school no pupil would be
kept out of school or allowed to remain
out of school unless it is absolutely nec
essary that they should be out.
I again called on every school in the
county excepting those which were
closed when I would have visited them
and spent an average of one hour in
each schcol. To do this, one must drive
regardless of bad roads or weather every
day from early in September until late
in March. During the year I drove
about three thousand miles, received
two thousand letters and mailed nearly
that number.
Many of our schools added new books
to their libraries, bought bells, (docks,
flags, etc., for use in school, with money
raised by socials. I want to commend
the reading of good books to all our boys
and girls. The school library makes it
possible for the poor as well as the rich
to have this privilege and all should
gladly accept of it.
In my visits to the schools I spoke to
many of the pupils regarding the books
they were reading and am glad to re
port that very many of our pupils are
making good use of our school libraries
Parents, encourage it in your homes
and thus help your children to learn the
facts, and think the thoughts, and live
the characters, and possibly form the
habits of some noble man or woman
whose life has blessed the world.
The one great power in school work
is the teacher: for "As the teacher is so
is,the school " We want good, intel
ligent, earnest devoted teachers for our
boys and girls. To secure and retain
this kind of teachers it requires hearty i
co-opeiation and substantial support on
the part of school officers and patrons
A young man or woman who is well
fitted to teach school is also well fitted
to engage in many other kinds of work
by which they can earn much better
wages than our teachers receive. For
this one reason many of our very best
teachers are now leaving this noble
work, not because they like to do so,
but just because they are compelled to
do so. Last year fifty-one of our teachers
resigned their schools and wont into
work which gave them higher wages
This wo were sorry to have them do
because it very greatly hindered the
success of our school work.
Directors and tax payers, let me say
to you that no other money is spent for
a better cause than is our school tax.
Give freely and willingly to this work
and then see that good teaching is given
in return. It will require better wages
than we have been paying to longer TP
tain the best teachers we have or to
secure others as goor". Why should not
the teachers wages be advanced? What
other laborer is today doing as much
work for so small pay as is the school
teacher? .
I want, here, to thank one and all
who have taken an interest in our
schools. I thank yon also for the kind
ness you have shown me in my work.
I want your help. Let us join heart
and hand and try to push the cause on
ward and upward.
Yours truly,
HOWARD I. PAINTER.
News Notes.
At least 100 people lost their lives in
a terrific cyclone that swept Gainesville,
(leorgia, shortly after noon of Monday.
Great, stanch buildings were razed as
if they were of paper, and everywhere
in the path of the swirling wind de
vastation and death walked hand in
hand. The greatest lots of life is re
ported at the plant of the Gainesville
cotton mills, where conservative esti
mates placed the death list at 80, with
scoras of others badly hurt The c>clone
came without warning, and wrecked
the upper stories of the mills, while
those in the lower storks were left un
hurt.
Some white boys of Pittsburg went
cut to the High Bridge, on the Castle
Shannon road, just outside of the city
limits to play ball, last Sunday: and
some negroes went to the same place to
play craps. The whites undertook to
disperse the negroes, and a riot follow
ed, during which pistols, clubs arid
i-tones were used. One negro was kiil
ed. and several whites and negroes
injured.

CHUIICII NOTES.
The Northern Conference of the
Lutheran Church General Synod)
meets at Clarion. Pa. next Tuesday,
Wednesday and Thursday, June 9-11.
At Los Angeles, last Friday, the Pres
byterian General Assembly:
"Resolved that this assembly most re
spectfully but earnestly, calls upn the
people of the United States to use their
utmost endeaver, emploving all honor
able means to secure the expulsion of
Apostle Reed Smoot from the halls of
the National Senate, and urges the Sen
ate itself and each member thereof to
exhaust all legal means to secure the
this end, and in accordance with the
provisions of the Federal Constitution.
•This assembly also calls upon the
people and Congress of the United
States in l>oth houses, and each memlter
of each house to employ and exhaust all
legal means to secure such an amend
ment to the Federal Constitution as
shall define legal marriage as monoga
mic and make polygamy under guise
aud practice a crime against the United
States, punishable by adequate penal
ties. including disfranchisement and
disqualification to vote or hold office in
the United States or in anv State or Ter
ritorv under the jurisdiction of the
United States."
Creed revision in the Presbyterian
church is an assured fact. The an
nouncement was made at the session of
the General Assembly that all eleven
amendments to the confession of faith
had been adopted by the presbyteries
by an almost unanimous vote. Not a
single overture received less than 10.")
affirmative votes nor less than 0 negative
votes This is said to settle the ques
tion of revision for years to come'but,
as one of the commisioners expressed it:
This does not mean that the church
has changed or revised her faith- The
revision is in tne line of dropping some
phrases capable of a double meaning
and the more explicit statement of
others.

NERVOUS HEADACHE
BREEDS INSANITY
Many a person's whole pleasure in life
is ruined by the fear of nervous head
aches'. Any little excitement, no matter
what, business or social,brings them on.
The feet and hands grow cold, the head
is hot, the eyes stiff, the temples throb,
and only in" the quiet of a darkened
room is relief obtained. This conditlou
must be checked or it means complete
mental ruin. To those people Dr. A. W.
Chase's Nerve Pills come as a blessing.
They do not stop, they cure the head
aches. They do not blanket, they build
up. They put the nervous system in a
strong, vigorous, sturdy condition a
condition that gives one resistive power
and enables them to again enjoy life's
pleasures.
Mrs. A B Mv'he of 124 Elm St., Bullcr.
Pa ,says: "Dr. A. W. Chase's Nerve Pills
are a grand medicine I suffered most
all the time from a hard nervous sick
headache and felt generally miserable
as a eonseqneuce I was told of the
Nerve Pills and got a box at D H. Wlll
ler's Drug Store, 112 South Main St.,
and they have cured me. I have no
more headaches and feel otherwise fine."

A Good Beginning Makes
a Bad Ending."
That saying seeins to have been born
of the superstition deep rooted in hu
manity. It is akin to that other saying
"He laughs best who laughs last." Per
haps in these and similar sayings there
is a survival of the old pagan belief that
a display of happiness was likely to ip
cur the envy of the gods and to draw
down the visitation of the malice which
is twin to envy.
It would be a ridiculous proposition to
affirm that bad is the necessary outcome
of good. But just as many a day which
begins with a cloudless sky ends in
storm, so many an event in life which
promises only happiness end 9 In disap
pointment and misery.
This is very true of marriage. The
young wife goes heart and soul into
home making and housekeeping. She
loves to cook and prepare tne dainties
her husband enjoys. She is so robust
and hearty that she can hardly find
enough to do to exhaust her abundant
energy. That's the way it begins. Af
ter a while she finds that it takes all her
strength to care for her home. Then
household cares begin to overtax her,
and she drops down into a chair many a
time and gives way to tears because of
her weakness and misery. The sky so
cloudless on the morning of marriage
has soon become overcast.
THE CRITICAL TIME
in many a woman's life conies just at
this period of discouragement and de
spair. She finds indications of disease
of the delicate womanly organs. Her
women friends perhaps tell her that the
bearing down sensation, the pains in the
back and loins indicate disease or dis
placement. She consults physicians,
takes prescril>ed treatments, all to no
avail. And yet this woman's case is
curable on the evidence of women who
have been cured.
"Four years ago my health began to
fail," writes Mrs. Nellie M. Reycraft,
Qf Glemvood, Washington Co., Oregon.
"I had a heavy dragging and weight in
the region of the uterus, pain in back
and loius, could not lift anything heavy,
rest at night very poor; stomach de
ranged. One physician said I was over
worked, another said I had conges
tion and falling of uterus. He treated
me nine months ami said I would not be
well until I had passed the change of
life. I was only twenty-seven years old
then. I became discouraged, and liegan
using Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription.
Took a teaspoonful three times a day;
began feeling letter right away. Am
using my third bottle now, and feel I am
in good' health. Dr. I'ierce's I-'avorlte
Prescription has restored me to health.
If suffering women would give it a fair
trial they would give it praise."
It con truthfully be said that there is
hardly a form of womanly disease med
ically curable which will not yield to the
faithful use of "Favorite Prescription."
More than this, it is a matter of record
that many forms of womanly disease pro
nounced incurable by local physicians
have becu perfectly up<jl pcrn^aCQtly
cured by the use of Dr. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription.
It is worth noting that these cures
are lasting. Many medicines offered for
women's use are mere palliatives. They
numb the nerves and so dull thf: pain.
But they do not re-establish the lost
womanly health. " Favorite Prescrip
tion " is a purely vegetable preparation.
It contains no alcohol, neither opium,
cocaine or any other narcotic. It cannot
disagree with the weakest constitution.
It establishes regularity, dries the drain*
which weaken women, heals inflamma
tion and ulceration and cures female
weakness.
IT IS WOMAN'S WAY
to sacrifice herself for her family. She
goes without the new dress that husband
or child may have som • coveted pleasure.
And for economy's sake she often bears
the ills which are undermining her
health. It is a false economy. The
health of the wife and mother is the
most important factor in the home life,
and every suffering woman who has been
cured by "Favorite Prescription" is a
witness to the real economy of this
means of cure.
"My health is the best now that it has
been for four years," writes Mrs. Phebe
Morris, of Ira, Cayuga Co., N.Y., Box 52.
"I have taken but two bottles of your
medicine, ' Favorite Prescription' and
'Golden Medical Discovery.' These med
icines have done me more good than all
that I have ever taken liefore. Icouldn't
do my work only about half the time,
and now I can work all the time Jor a
family of four. Before I took your
medicines I was sick in bed nearly half
the time. llv advice to all who are
troubled with female weakness is to take
Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription and
' Golden Medical Discovery'—the most
wonderful medicines in the world."
Sick women are invited to consult Dr.
Pierce by letter, free. All letters are held
in sacred confidence and womanly confi
dences are guarded by strict professional
privacy. Address Dr. R.* V. Pierce,
Buffalo, N. Y.
In a little more than thirty years Dr.
Pierce, chief consulting physician to the
Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute,
Buffalo, N. Y., assisted by bis staff of
nearly a score of physicians, has treated
and cured hundreds of thousands of sick
and suffering women.
If the dealer offers you a "just as
eood" medicine in place of "Favorite
Prescription " it is because less roeritori.
ous medicines pay him a little more
profit. His profit is your loss. Insist
upon having " Favorite Prescription " the
medicine which makes weak women
strong and sick women well.
THE REASON WHY.
Some medical works content them
selves by classifying advice under the
head of "Do " or " Don't." Dr. Pierce's
Common Sense Medical Adviser gives
the reason why, for all it enjoins. It is
a plain guide to health written in plain
English and dealing with the great prpl}-
lems of physiology and hygiene frpijj
the view point of common sense. TW»
