HENDERSON, THOMAS A. MORRISON. State Treasurer, W. L. MATHUES Auditor General, W. P. SNYDER. For Jury Commissioner, A. O. EBERHART. Unele Sam's Overflowing Treas ury. After cutting off an estimated tax ation of more than seventy millions lpat. fiscal year, Uncle Sam finds that he has still more money than he needs. On the first of July he had on hand a net surplus for the year of about fifty five million dollars. For the three months of the present fiscal year there is a surplus of about five millions, which is likely to increase unless con ditions change greatly. It is possible however, that receipts from customs may fall off. so that a smaller balance will be left at the end of the year. The desirable condition is that expenses and receipts should balance except when there is a large debt to pay. At present there is a small debt, bnt it is also largely an asset, since two- thirds of the bonds are in government custody to cover circulation or deposits. This ia a situation to make the mouths i of European finauciers water. The lead ing nations' securities are selling below par, while Uncle Sam, who alone has a , two per cnt. bond, finds them com- ' inanding a high premium. This is an J excellent situation, but is in part de- f lusive. The price of government bonds , la now controlled by their value to < banks for currency purposes. They are becoming scarce and, as Secretary Shaw i announces, can no longer supply the < demand for their banking function, j Either wa mnst have new bonds or a , new currency system. t That new currency is being provided ( is shown by the Treasurer's report. New , currency was issued last year to the amount of $125,000,000, nearly one-half of which was in gold. At present near ly one-half of our total currency is in ] the yellow metal. The coin is not much in evidence, bat any person handling t hillii of the denomination of twenty dollars or over has become familiar with ] the yellow backed certificates which 1 represent tha aotual coin in the Treas ( nry. Most people have seen more gold, or its certificate, in the last three years ] than in all their lives before. Mr. i Bryan admits that there is much gold in circulation, and that he was wrong in his estimates, but right in his prin- ] ciples, which are as dear to him as ever. Uncle Sam is doing a larger business : than any other nation on earth. He has accumulated one hundred billions of wealth. He has established the gold standard and the principle of protec tion. He sees crops worth five billions of dollars harvested or safe from danger, while the railroads are being taxed to carry on the business offered them. On the whole, Uncle Sam feels contented. / And well he may. Such a condition < never before existed in the world, and, barring a fit of insanity on the part of the people, it is going to continue. — Inquirer. POULTICAL. One. of the probable combinations, next year, against President Roosevelt, i to defeat his nomination, will be that of the great trusts of the country, and the Trades Alliance —and both for ! the same reason —that he will not do their bidding. Israel W. Durham, the political boss of Philadelphia, returned from Europe, last week, and promptly announced himself as favoring Quay's re-election to the U. S. Senate. Quay's programe will probably be to secure his own re election, then resign, and have Gov. Pennypacker appoint his son Dick to fill the vacancy. Senator Penrose was in Washington, Tuesday, and when asked his opinion as to the probability of Gov. Pennypacker resigning and being appointed chief justice of the supreme court, said: "I do not think there is any likelihood of the governor taking such action, although I have not talked with him on the subject." As state chairman Senator Penrose •aid of the Pennsylvania, campaign; "Everything is moving smoothly in the campaign. There is scarcely a ripple on the surface of politics and the Re publican ticket will win. I suppose the statehood bill will be brought up again this session, though I have not heard much talk about it this summer. I have no donbt though that Senator Quay will resume his efforts in behalf of thebilL '' As horrible a legal execution as ever happened in this country was that at Dannemora, N Y., last Thursday. Three boys, brothers, were taken from their cells, one at a time, to the electric chair, and all killed within fifteen min utes. Some months ago they qoarroled with their uncle, who lived by himself on an adjoining farm, and went to his home at night, and killed him. Coal Valley and Vicinity.

Roy, the 12-year-old son of Newton Christy died of spinal meningitis on Thursday and was buried at Concoid, Batnaofy. jflf. Murtland expects to occupy his property in Butler iD the mar future. The Epworth League at Troutman is arranging for a course of popular lec tures in that place the coming fall and winter. A test well is soon to be drilled on the Geo. R. Campbell farm, two milej west of Hooker. Some new rigs are up and a few more to go up will likely comprise the amount of drilling in this field until spring. SILELX. The End of Economy. At the public sale of the stock, farm ing implements, etc. of the Harmony Society at their old barns in Economy, on Thursday of last week, the herd of sixty Jersey, Holetein and Hereford cat tle, averaged only sl3 each, and every thing else went at low figures though several hundred people were present. The sale proclaimed the actual aban donment of the 3,000 acres which were purchased by Father Rapp and his fol lowers in the spring of 1805, and that the nndulating green hills and meadows would soon be converted into a busy, hustling business and manufacturing community depriving them of the quiet ude which has prevailed at Economy since the inception of the colony. The five members of the society who dwell in the minature new Economy in the midst of the old farm are; Franz Gillman. Christania Rail. Barbara Boesch, John S. Duss, the trustee of the society, and Mrs. Duss. The four blocks in which the few members of the old society reside are enclosed by a tall white painted board fence. The buildings ana grounds are practically unchanged since the famous regime of Father Henrica, the aged trustee of the society, who died about 12 years a go. The group of buildings and the ground within the inclusure will be retained by the survivors of the society for life. Each of the members save Mrs. Duss has reached an advanced age. but are hardy and happy, and while wealthy and with every means at their disposal to povide themselves with luxuries, they still adhere to the provincialisms and customs which characterized their ancestors. Six months ago the Economy farm was sold and transferred to a land com pany. Since then the sale portions of the" farm have been leased. These leases will all expire after harvest Then the territory will be laid out in building lots and converted into a pretty modern residental district. The old grist mill, which has been a landmark in Economy for at least 80 years, and which is now in a state of decay, will soon be razed aud replaced "by a large new series of dwellings The old barns will also soon come down, and within another year nothing will be left of the original settlement but the group of dwellings, the dance hall, church aud the graveyard, with its weeping willows and white tombstones, in the centre of the town. THE officers and ushers about the White House had a time with a crazy Swede from Minneapolis, Monday. He insisted upon seeing the President, and when arrested became violent.

The price paid was $1,250 per barrel net, and the total money consideration was more than $300,000. The price per bar rel is the highest that has ever been paid for prodnction in either county, but the sands from which the oil is pro duced are the most reliable and the wells, though small, lasting producers Frank Hitchcock manager for the Oil well supply company at Finlay, Ohio, committed suicide Tuesday.

Mrs. Gilliland has long been a con sistent membei of the United Presby terian church and for the last forty-six years has been a mrmbtr of tho Butlvr United Presbvterian church. The christian fortitude with which she bore here last illness was character istic of the calm, trusting faith she had in her Redeemer through all her life. Her spirit was both gentle and strong, and in her church life as in her home, she lived in such a way that proclaimed she was a Chrittian, both in name and character. As a mother she was pure gold, re fined and refined. Always unselfish, looking well to the ways of her house. She .was faithful in the many little things which go to make the comfort of the home. As a friend she was loyal and true, always charitable in her judgment of others. As a hostess she was always ready to extend the hand of welcome, and all her friends were welcomed by her bright cheery emile. Although she will be greatly missed, both among her friends and in her family, they have the assuring thought that she has passed on before to better things. Obituary. W. B.

Only three weeks wore will the present season continue, and the thoussnds of Suburbanites who have been delaying; their visits will do well to start for Pittsburg on the first excursion train going there. The musical attraction this week Is one of exceptional strength, in deed one of the finest yet presented. On the stage in music hall will be the great Vessella and his Royal Italian band, who have created a veritable rensation throughout the east with their fiery presentations. Assisting them will be the Park Sis ters, by all odds the greatest cornet quartet In the world. Vessella Is a tall, thin Italian, with a great shock of dusky hair, and wielding an Influence over his men which Is little short of magical. He has wonderful musical conception, while the effects he produces are over whelming In their magnificence. He has swept into favor at the New Ex pos it ion with the fury of a whirlwind. Of the Park Sisters one can hardly say too much in praise, since they play their choeen instruments with a refinement and exquisite beauty that baffle* verbal description. Then their selections are such as always to please the largest number of people. There t« so much of Interest at the New Exposition this year that one hardly knows where to make begin ning, and the excursionists already .letting the big Pittsburg Bhow are unanimous In their opinion that every promise has been fulfilled and that highest expectations have been more than fulfilled. Excursions will go from this city at the one-fare rate and It will be found advantageous to utilize the privileges afforded without delay, tof nothing is more delightful than a j trip to the great Steel City, where pleasures of shopping may be comblnp ed with the satisfaction of an E!xpo- I sltlon visit M «Starkey I •)£ & Leading Photographer, ® Old Postoffice Building, ® * Butler, Pa.
