THE BUTLEft CITIZEN. WTLLIAUO. NEGLEY - Publisher. THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 5, 1903. 11.30 per yur la Advaacc. Otherwise $1 J# - CURRENT EVENTS. Autumn in the country, with the roads as good as they are now, is a season of delight The wondrous change from green to red and brown and yellow, makes a scene of beauty, marks the end of summer and fortells the undressing of nature for its winter nap. Autumn is sometimes spoken of as the melancholy season —the saddest of the year—but for youth it certainly is not. More young lovers walk about with each other these moonlight and crisp evenings than at any other season. Perhaps it is the season, also, that has been having a curious effect upon the civilized nations of the earth. The Kaiser and the Czar are together this week. The King of Italy,the Preaident of France and King Edward have been hobnobbing with each other lately, and the day will probably come when the group will be joined by our President, the Japanese Mikado and the Chinese Son of Heaven. With all these friendly calls big wais should be made impossible, but Rus sia's hunger for slices of Turkey and China—a strange combination—keeps alive the possibility of war though all the world is sympathizing with Japan, at present, and the Russian govern ment has lately been refused loans in France and England. A thousand delegates from all the southern states will meet in Dallas, Tex. next Saturday, and talk about a weevil lian who has been making trouble for them. The v'llian under discussion is commonly called the cotton-boll weevil, and it is said that he has, this year, de stroyed fifty million dollars worth of cotton. The whole world is interested in the destruction of this pest, and the state of Texas has a standing offer of $50,000 for the person who discovers how to do it. The province of Panama has declared its independence of the United States of Colombia. S. A., and a civil war will probably follow. Theodore Mommsen, the German fell at his desk last Friday, while yet working on his Lives of the Roman Emperors, though nearly 90 years of age. % "It is but a few days since Lecky, the greatest of living historians writing in English, died, and the passing of the two is of importance. Lecky wrote with incisiveness and charm. Few men have had such a command of English, and for purity of style his books are un surpassed, while his views of history are of even more importance than his records. These two men have done an immense service to the world, though along ▼ery different lines. Both were politic ians, bat whereas Lecky wrote radical ly and became a conservative in poli tics, Mommsen was a conservative his torian, but such a radical in politics that he frequently received marks of the government'- displeasure. The President and the Trusts. The mania for stock speculation with a view to growing suddenly and im mensely rich without conferring any corresponding benefits on the public, which has had possession of the people of this country for the past year or two, has completely vindicated the wisdom and foresight of President Roosevelt. He said three years ago that the great est danger to the people from trusts would be the disposition on the part of unscrupulous men to organize corpora tions and overcapitalize them with a view to making vast sums of money by the sale of practically worthless stocks. To obviate this danger the President recommended the enactment of laws that would compl such publicity of the affairs of each and every corporation coming within the scope of interstate commerce regulations that the public could not be deceived as to the actual financial condition of such organiza tions. His idea was that they should come within the supervision of the Gov ernment much the same as National Banks—that they should be examined frequently and sworn statements of their condition published. For this the great financial sharks of New York and elsewhere denounced the President as a narrow and preju diced man, without sufficient grasp of affairs to appreciate the needs of a great manufacturing and commercial nation. These m6n arrogantly set themselves up as the real rocks upon which the pros perity of the country rested, and an nounced their oppostion to the nomina tion of Theodore Roosevelt for the Pres idency. But events have clearly proven that the President was übsolutely light and that the Wall Street manipulators were emphatically wrong. Instead, therefore, of this opposition being a source of weakness to the President, it will prove one of his principal elements » of strength. It will give the people re newed confidence in the wisdom and honesty of a Chief Executive who has risen grandly to every occasion, and whose inspiring motive, always and ev erywhere, is the honor and glory of his country and the happiness and prosper ity of its people.—Pun xsutawney Spirit. AT Indianapolis last Saturday a pas senger train carrying a thousand people to a foot-ball match crashed into a coal train and fifteen men and boys were killed, and fifty people injured One of the killed lived at Butler, Ind. Give Thanks. On Saturday last the President issued his annual Thanksgiving day proclama tion, naming Thursday, the 20th inot, and speaking as follows: "During the past year the lord has dealt bountifully with us, giving us peace at home and abroad and the chance for our citizens to work for their welfare unhindered by war. fam ine or plague. It behooves us not only to lejoice gTeatly because of what has been given us, but to accept it with a solium sense of responsibility, realizing that under heaven it rests with us our selves to show that we are worthy to use a right well that has been entrusted to our care. In no other »;lace has the ex periment of government bv the people fo ' the people been trie;! on s i vast a seal® as here in our own country in the Opening j ears of the twontietii < euiur>. thing tor tin but a dreadful tnjng for for all mankind, because it would mean lots of hope for all who l»elieve in the power and the righteousness of liberty. Therefore iu thanking God for the mer cies extended us in the past, we bo seech Him that he may not withhold them in the futnre, and that our hearts may be roused to war steadfastly for God and against all the forces of evil, pub lic and private. We pray for strength and light, so that iu the coming years we may. with cleanliness, fearler>snes and wisdom, do our alloted work on the earth in such manner as to show that we are not altogether unworthy of the blessings we have received. ELECTION ECHOES. In this county but about one third of the electors or voters went to the polls, last Tuesday, and the aggregate j vote polled was about 4100, with 2535 > Republican and 1571 Democrat. Re bublican majority 9(54. In the borough of Butler but 67*3 votes, or less than one in six. were poll ed, and the Republican majority is about 110. In Pittsburg, last night, a victory for the regular Republican ticket over the fusion ticket was conceded by a small majority. The Republican State Ticket has been elected by about 250,000. over half of which was polled in Philadelphia Co. In Beaver county a mistake was made in printing the ballots—the word "Su preme" being used instead of "Superior" before the words "Judges," and the vote for that office in that county will probably be a blank. In Clearfield connty the Democratic nominee for Judge, A. O Smith, won over the present incumbent, and Re publican nominee, Cyrus Gordon, by about 1000. In Dauphin county (Harrisburg) th6re was a three-cornered fight for the Judgship, and Kunkle, the Republican nominee and the whole ticket were elected by about 2000, In Armstrong connty the Republican State ticket has about 1,200 majority, though Judge Rayburn—one of the Democratic nominees for Superior Judge, carried Kittanning. Clarion connty continues in the Democratic column by about 500. In Lawrence county but half a vote was polled, and the whole Rep. ticket was elected—including Ayers for Sheriff and Cunningham for District Attorny. Mercer connty gave the Republican state ticket about 1000, and elected Fyffe, Poor Director. Venango county gave the Republican state ticket about 1000, but for District Attorney, Mcßride, Republican, leads McCalmont, Prohibitionist by but 100. Washington county gave the Repub lican ticket the unprecedented majority of 3,500, though Snyder fell behind. Blair Co., also had a three-cornered Judship contest, in which the Republi can nominee Bell, won over the Dem ocratic and Prohibition nominees. The States. Obio went Republican by 115,000, even Cleveland and Cuyahoga county, Tom Johnston's home, went for Her rick by 4000, as did also Toledo, the home of "Golden Rule" Jones. The legislature will be strongly Rt pubican, and Mark Hanna will be re turned to the U. S. Senate. New York City, which is big enough to be called a state, elected Geo. B. Mc- Clellan, Jr., eon of the former General, Mayor by 60,000 over Mayor Low. This is a surprising result and once again makes "Tammany" a potent power in the Democratic politics of the nation. New Jersey is Republican and will elect a Rep. U. S. Senator: Massachu setts re-elected Gov. Bates, Rep.; lowa is Rep. by 60,000; Colorado is Rep. In Virginia the Democrats made a clean sweep; Kentucky elects Beckham by about 15,000. Maryland is Democratic, and Rhode Island is said to have elected a Demo cratic governor. At New York, last Friday, in Jndg** New burger's court, Sam Parks, the no torious "walking delegate" was again convicted of extortion. FATALLY injured in a wreck of an eastbound California train, Mrs. Emma Booth-Tucker, consul in America of the Salvation Army, wife of Commander Booth-Tucker and second daughter of William Booth, who founded the army, died from her injuries last Thursday mornins, several hours after the acci dent.

No one urged to buy, prices from $2 to $B.l Why suffer with your eyes, it costs you no more to be fitted by specialists than to risk your vision with inexperienced opticians. Headache knocked sky high in one hour. 57 seven people coneeted in two d.iys. WHY DEFECTIVE EYES CAUSE NERVOUSNESS. Abont nine out of ten persons, old or young, who suffer from headaches may be assured that defective eyes are the principal cause. Hypermetropia. or far sight, is the principal cause of dull and constant headaches. A hyperme tropic eye is insufficient in its length or power of the refracting media, which results in the focus being thrown to ward a point beyond the retina, thereby causing excessive or over measurement, resulting in constant strain ot the ac commodation muscles, and that in turn, will affect what is known as the third nerve, or motor oculi, which causes ex treme nervousness. With the use of properly made and fitted classes the eye becomes artificially normal by causing the focus to fall upon the retina the same as it does in the perfectly normal eye; therefore these muscles become re laxed from the constant strain, there by relieving the cause, and at once overcoming headache, dizziness, ex -1 cessive winking, trembling spells, etc. They give correct measurements for frames, with the same care and precision with which they test the eyes for glasses, and consider one abont as important as the other. In diagnosing a defect of the eye they never ask a question, but de scribe the different symptoms better than t,h« r>* f fc»ir methods of testing for glasses are found ed upon the most scientific principles, the culmination of experience as applied by our leading opthalmologists in this and foreign countries. The fitting of children and the curing of headaches are specialities under a treatment by crystelo nerverene lenses, and in all cases where headaches are caused by defective eyes a sure and per manent relief is always affected nnder the use of these lenses. They are many diseases of the eye which opticians in common practice do not treat, as they are not provided with the necessary and costly outfit to ex amine correctly or treat with success. Such cases will do well to call at once and learn their true condition, whether the doors of hope are still open, or are forever losed against them. J. W, Curry, who Works for the Union Heat and Light Co., Grove City, Says. MR. AND MRS. W. E MAHAFFEY: I have worn glasses for ten years. I have had them changed two or three times in that time and have always had to bathe and doctor my eyes continual ly, but since I got the glasses you fur - nished me I have not had to bathe or doctor them, and I can say these are the best I ever had and my eyes are so much better that I can read for a long time without them, and that is some tiling I have not been able to do for ten years I would reccomend any one whose eyes need attention to call cn them.
