(THE BUTLER CITIZEN. WILLIAM G.HEG LEY - Publisher. THURSDAV, DECEMBER 17, 1903. SIJSO per year ia Advisee. Otherwise 51 -50 WASHINGTON NOTES. EHMjg On Thursday last Rep. Huff introduc ed a bill appropriating #IOO,OOO for a public building in Butler. There ia a difference of opinion over the failure of the extra session of Con gress to adjourn sine die. thns creating a distinct recess between its adjourn ment and the convening of the regular r session. It arises over appointments, and is the first of its kind. The President has distinct authority to fill all vacancies during the recess of the Senate, and, acting under this con stitutional authority, he commissioned Brigadier General Wood a Major Gen eral and moved up 167 other army offi cers as a result of the change. When Congress met in November he sent the nominations to the Senate for confirma tion or rejection, as he was in duty bound to do. ( 80 far, so good. Bat the Constitution farther provides that if the Senate fails . to act by the end of the session nomina- < tions fall. The extra session came to a , close at noon on Monday, and at the , same hour the regular session began ( Taking the gronnd that there was a re- j cess, although its duration was exceed- , ingly limited, the President recommis sioned General Wood and again sent the nominations to the Senate. ' Secretary Shaw's annual report is more interesting than such documents , usually are. Aside from the maes of 1 statistics which he gives concerning the operations of the Treasury, he has some things to say that are worthy of a great deal of consideration. First of all is the threatened deficit for 1905. For the coming year he figures out a surplus of about fifteen millions, but for the next there is an apparent deficit. Calcula tions for two years ahead are notably untrustworthy because actual commer cial conditions cannot be foreseen, neither can there be any sound judg ment as to what Congress will do either in the matter of raising money or ex pending it. Based on normal conditions, there is, however, a deficit coming which is small compared with the large surplus in the Treasury. This is no cause for alarm, as we have already more money idle than is good for the community. At the meeting of the Republican Na tional committee in Washington, last Satnrday, Chicago was selected as the place for holding the next National Convention, and Tuesday, June 21st, the day. Pittsbnrg had but 7 votes to 48 tor Chicago and one for St. Louis. The objection to Pittsburg was the in sufficiency of her hotel accommodations, though Dalzell put up a strong plea for Dalzell on Pittsburg. Extract from Dalzell's speech to the National Committee: "Pittsburgh wants the convention as a matter of sentiment. Well, why not? Do yon know any more potent force in the world's moral economy than senti ment? Why does the man, mature in . years, successful or unsuccessful, revisit with reverence the place of his birth and revel attain in the memories of his bdyhood? Why doe* the wanderer fepft abroad look with eagerness for the lights, the bills and the shores of his na tiye land? Sentiment, pure sentiment. Bnt in that sentiment is the essence of patriotism, and patriotism is the relig r km of liberty. Sentiment. Why, it „ lies at the base of home life; of gener ous aspiration, of every noble impulse. It ia the mainspring of ambition. It rules the woild. It is a reasonable and should be a potent argument in itself of Pittsburgh's claim to entertain a Re publican national convention. Come to the place where the party was born ; come to the old home, the original roof tree, and catch again the inspiration of the little band that entered upon a cru sade in the interest of the dignity of hu man labor and inaugurated an era of K which today's unexampled prosperity is the ripe fruit. Old Lafayette hall is gone, but on its site rises a commercial palace, one of the many witnesses to the glory of Republican policies. All around are other witnesses. Come and see A; them. For miles and miles along the shores of our rivers I will show you the watchflresof protection; the pillar of clond by day and the pillar of fire by fig: | night that more eloquently than any human tongue bespeak the beneficent results of the policies of Lincoln and McKinley." A Birthday Party. A very pleasant surprise was given Dec. 10,1903, in honor of Mrs. Nancy Powell Harvey by her children, grand children and great grand-children at the home of her daughter, Mrs. A. J. Critchlow, near Glade Run, it being the occasion of her seventy-fifth birth day. At the noon hour a sumptuous dinner was served, of which all partook very heartily. Grandma was the recip ient of a number of beautiful and use ful presents. Just before dinner a let ter was received from her son, Geo. C. Powell, of Connellsville, Pa., stating the cause ot his absence, but he and his family remembered grandma by send ing her a beautiful present. The after noon was spent in social intercourse and music. In the evening all returned all returned to their homes, after wish ing grandma msny happy returns of the day. Those present were Mr. and Mrs. L. S. Johnston Mrs. A. E. Powell, of E E. Pittsburg; Me. and Mrs. J. W. Powell and children Gladys and John, New Kensington, Mrs. S. M. fainter and daughters, Vernaaud Nannie, Bird ville; Mrs. J. A. Painter, Mr. and Mr?. W. D. Painter and children, Arthur, Lenore and Baby; Mr. and Mrs. W. L. Snyder and son llaro'd, Butler; Mr. aud Mrs. A. J. Critchlow and family, IJ*-1- mar. Carl, Raymond and Lulu; Harry Sutton, Glade Run; Mr Alvin Dickie and son Russell, of Renfrew. NOTICE.

F. W. WITTK, President. Marwood, Pa., Dec. 14, 190 a. 8t s I&, As to Penny packer. The remarkable letter of Gov. Penny packer, in which he indicated his desire to abandon the office of Governor when his tenn would be less than half finish ed, in order to take practically a life position npon the Supreme Bench, al though be pledged himself when a can didate for Governor not to take such a course, has not surprised those who have closely watched his career. In this new move he is bnt playing the part he has always acted, that of a pli ant subject in the hands of Senator I Quay. Anybody with half a political eye can see that this latest inspiration of Gov. Pcnr.ypacker proceeded from the Beaver man. Nobody will imagine that it was Gov. Pennypacker's idea to appoint a Demo crat to the Supreme court in the person of Judge Thompson so as to pave the way for his own elevation to the same position at the expiration of the com mission issued by himself. That idea had its origin in the mind of the senior Senator from this state. Pittsburg Times. The most remarkable feature of the case is the utter obliviousness of the Governor to the moral quality of the act. He is absolutely unconscious of any impropriety in what he is doing. The naivete and simplicity with which he is shocked at any imputation of wrong in the prostitution of the power of the Governor to open the way for himself have never been surpassed. There is nothing in the fantastic fancies of Don Quixote or in the dull and dense opacity of Wouter von Twiller that can exceed the strange and incompre hensible obliquity of view which the Governor shows. He sees nothing in his desertion of his poet which should expose him to criti cism. He sees nothing in the designa tion of a Democrat with the ostensible virtue of nonpartisanship but with the real purpose of leaving the door open for himself that indicates any sinister design. It is as if he sat down in the narrow range of a provincial home and applied to problems of state the princi ples which might govern a barnyard. The singular and inexplicable mala droitness which has stamped so many of the Governor's acts and utterances as wayward and eccentric is illustrat ed in this peculiar demonstration. Noth ing could have been more malapropos. Even if his determination had been un objectionable, his method of announc ing it lacked every element of tact and jadgment. —Phil'a Press. Those who are attacking Samuel W. Pennypaeker for his moral obliquity in seeing no wrong in the method he pur sues in peeking a seat on the supreme court bench have evidently not made much of a study of this remarkable man. He is the Pennypacker who thinks Quay as great and good a statesman as Webster or Clay. It is this same Samuel W. Penny packer who for four months sat next door to a Pennsylvania legislature and said he could find no evidences of cor ruption in its proceedings, while lobby ists thrived within its doors. It was Pennypacker,of Schwenksville, surnamed Samuel, who named as one member of his cabinet a municipal boss who vies with Tammany in methods, and as another member a former munic ipal boss who lived for years in a cor rupt atmosphere It was this sage of the Perkiomen who officially assented to the b-heiue of corrupt politicians to prevent proper newspaper criticism, and who saw fit to write an apology for his ofliciul act ranking second in its nauseating tone to the "P. S." letter of his predecessor. With all of these circumstances in view, sharp criticism is uncharitable. The proper sentiment is pity. —Leader. Prospect. Clara Badger is recovering from an attack of typhoid fever. The Lutheran Snnday School will have their Christmas services on Thurs day evening before Christmas. The box social at the U. P. church, Friday evening, was a very pleas int and successful affair. Johu and Charles vVeigle were in Lawrence county, last week, attending the funeral of their cousin, Joseph Pence. G. B. Beighley sprained his back while building the derrick for the new well on the Kennedy farm, and has been pretty old and helpless since. The Portersville high school we(f en tertained by Mr. and Mrs Wallace, Friday evening, and gave their "col lege" yell in fine style. Several of the young folks attended the dance at Gns Shannon's one last week, and think Gas is as handy about a house as a girl. Nick Keighner was stricken with par alysis some time ago, and his recovery is considered doubtful. George Warren" Perry Hunter, May Henshaw and Sam Graham are drilling the Kennedy well. Mrs. Mary White, of Kent, Ohio, and Mrs. Amelia Albert, of Franklin, Pa. were here last week to see their sick mother, Mrs. Catherine Shatter. Mr. Price, of Bridgewater, Beuvcr county, was the gn< st of his mother-in law, Mrs. Caiherine Koth, Sunday. Teacher*' Institute I'oHtponecl. Owing to the serious epidemic of ty phoid fever, and also on account of the serious illness of County Supt. Howard I. Painter, the Butler County Teachers' Institute is postponed until Monday, February 8-I'', 1904.in the Court House, Butler, Pa. It is confidently anticipated that at that time Sn'.t. Painter will again be ablo to attend to his w.-rk, and that lo cnl conditions will hive so improved as to relieve all from any anxiety which would be attendant, were the institute held at the time formerly Hrr;uigtd.

Schaul <sc Nast, LEADING CLOTHIERS AND FURNISHERS, 137 South IVSain St., Butler, Finding a Fortune and Founding a Fortune. A TRAMP'S LUCK AND AN EN ERGETIC MAN'S PURPOSE. It is perliap9 true as told that a tramp, searching a garbage barrel for scraps of refuse food, found a fortune in good United States currency. Such a thing may happen. But the workman who givea up a steady occupation however unremuner ative to hunt garbage barrels for a fort une will surely degenerate to a tramp. There is a difference between finding a fortune ami founding a fortuue. Few j men chance upon fortunes. The fort unes we know about are not found but founded ou a certain substantial basis. The nature of that basis of fortune is well set forth in the advice given by a successful merchant to u young man who asked, "What is the first requisite to making a fortune?" "The first re quisite to making a fortune" 6iid the rich ttian, "is health." "The idea that fortunes are made suggests toil and in dustry and skill. Nothing can be made without these. But a weak man cannot toil, and industry is incompatible with ill-health. If you want to be strong remember that all physical strength comes from food and that the amount of strength extracted from food depends upon the ability of the stomach to di gest food and assimilate its nutrition. The man who takes care of his digestion is, in general, taking care of every other organ of his body." SUCCESS AND THE STOMACH. The merchant who gave the above opinion m*y not have r>een much of a physician but he was a good deal of a philosopher. He had seen men with success almost within the grasp, break down because of "stomach trouble." He had theorized the i>ayin«r that the " weakest must go to the wail" into the saying that "the man with the weakest stomach must go to the wall," l>ecause 110 man is stronger than his stomach. The man who will learn this lesson of success has taken a great stride to his goal. Health is the first prerequisite of success and health in general means a •ound stomach and a good digestion. I/K>k at tlie logic of the matter. Food is a man's life, his strength. Physical life is sustained by food. Hut the fact that a tiling can l>e eaten doesn't make it food. Many a physician practising in the tenements of a city says of failing men or women, "What they need is nourishing food." Shipwrecked men cat scraps of leather, the bark of trees, anything to satisfy hunger. But this is not food in any true sense because it contains 110 nutrition. All food must fee considered iu relation to its nutritive value. When the stomach and the al lied organs of digestion and nutrition are diseased the nutrition contained in food is imperfectly extracted and the body fails of nutrition adequate to its needs. The shipwrecked sailor living upon scraps in wliich there is no nutri tion is on a level with the man who eats abundant nutritious food but whose stomach with its allied organs is dis eased and therefore fails to extract from the food eaten the nutrition which if the body's need. SOUND STOMACH, SOUND MAN. That is almost an axiom. The man with a sound stomach and good diges tion will in ordinary be a sound man, because the nutriment of food is the life and strength of heart, lungs, liver, kid neys and every organ of the body. The first need of a weak man is tc look after his stomach and his digestion. TTiere is the common scat of physical weakness. How weak men have been made strong j strong of heart, liver, lungs, kidneys, and other organs by being made strong of stomach and strong of di gestion has Ijeen told thou sands of times by tlios« 1 who have used Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. " I write to tell you of the great benefit I have re ceived from the use of I)r. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery," writes Mr. G. B. Bird, of Byrnside, Putnam Co., W. Va. "It cured me of a very bad case of indi gestion associated with tor pid liver. Before I began the use of 'Golden Medical Discovery' I had no appe tite ; could not sleep nor work but very little. The little that I ate did not agree with me, bowels con stipated, and lif« was a misery to me. I wrote to Dr. Pierce giving the symp toms, and asked for advice. You advised me to try the 'Golden Med ical Discovery' so I began the use of it and after taking four bottles I felt so well that I went to work, but soon got worse, so I ngiin began the use of it and used it about eight weeks longer, when I was permanently cured. I took in all twelve bottles of the ' Discovery' and some of Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets in connection with the 'Discovery.'" Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discov ery cures diseases of the stomach and other organs of digestion and nutrition. It cures through the stomach diseases which seem remote from that organ but which have their origin in disease of the stomach tit id its allied organs.
