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.

ALL KINDS OF CHRONIC DI3
EASES AND DEFORMITIES.
It is very seldom flint n edßfufuuity
so situated as the one in which we live
has the privelege of consulting such re
nowned specialists, who are in constant
attendance to wait upon you, diagnose
your case, and give you the benefit of
their medical knowledge. There is no
experimenting or guesswork. You will
be told whether you can be cured or
not. If your case is curable they will
treat yon; if incurable, they will give
you adyice that will prolong your life.
They treat deafness with an entirely
new method. Hearing restored to
many at once. Catarrah iu all its ya
ried forms cured so that it will never

SORPTION of medicine.
If you have weak lungs or consump
tion do not fail to be examined.
Their new method of absorbing med
decine by cataphoresis in paralysis, loss
of niauly vigor, rheumatism, and all
discuses of the nervous system, includ
ing EPILEPSY, is a God-send to suffer
ing humanity. Medical men stand
amazed at the marvelous cures that are

given up all hope of being cured now
have an opportunity of a lifetime to
consult without charge doctors of nat

Mr. and Mrs. Mahaffey and Miss Mil
ler. the expert Opticians, Eye Sight and
Nerve specialists will be at the Willartl
Hotel They give examination, consul
tation and advice free. 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.

BUYING EYES
Isn't an easy matter. The best occulists
and opticians are not magicians. Ihey
cannot restore sight to the blind.
Don't wait to consult ns until yon «et
a piece of glass in your eye. or canit see
well It's the little things that count.
A little headache. A few dancing spots.
A burning sensation—these are the
warnings that should be heeded. Its
better to be to early than to be to late.
A carefal examination of the eyes is
free and painless. .
I also sell Edison and Victor phono
