The theory is that the boys follow tbe girls tbe same as the constitution does tbe flag, and as long as the girli Insist on going to town to live the boyi will follow.

Mnley Hassan,the Sultan of Morrocco, has earned the sympathy of all who have suffered from the energy of the soliciting profession.

Still the letters con tinued to come nntil the harassed po tentate summoned the energentic agent, gave him $50,000, told him to give it to the Fair or put it in bis pocket—only to stop the letters. He does not know where St. Louis is and does not wish to. All be asks is that he be left un disturbed by further importunity Professor Davenport, of Chicago, hae found a new danger in the "yellow peril"from the threatened war between Russia and Japan. He thinks such a war menaces the yery existence of the Caucasian race. The professor's line of thought in reaching this startling con clusion is summarized as follows: "The Chinese, on acconnt of their methods of living and tbeir economical habits are best fitted to endure poverty and starva tion. Therefore the Chinese is bound to survive all other races wben the world becomes so crowded as to make the struggle for existence more Serce than ever before. And whatever may be the result of a conflict between Rus sia and Japan it will certainly enable the yellow races to learn tbeir power and bring them together." "When the Chinese begin to spread," the professor adds, "the Caucasian race can get ready to move out." —One of tbe long blocks containing aix bouses in Red Row was practically destroyed Saturday evening by a fire, which for a.time threatened the de struction of the whole row, but three or four streams of water stopped it in leu than an hour.

Thirty-five chickens in the basement of one bouse were roasted. One hundred foreigners are said to have lived in tbe burned blpck. Tbe loss was about S2OOO. Tbe occupants bad SIBO cash bnrned. Farmer* and Stock Growara- A RKLKAHK FROM SLAVERY. Why pay rent on SBO. to SIOO. per acre land wben you can raise the same crops on sls. to SBS. per acre land in Nortb Dakota.

Three boys, said to be from Cleve land, "jimmied" the rear door of the Niggel hardware store, on Jefferson street, last Thursday night, and went in and selected thirteen revolvers.

In his judgment the whole act is operative and should be obeyed, and hi instructs Auditor Gen eral Hardenberg to issue warrants upon the State Treasurer for the monthly proportions of the salaries as fixed by the Act of April 14, 1903, and to do this in the case of all Jndges, irrespective of the dates of their commissions.

The hearing of the petition of the Eleanor Iron & Steel Co. for stay of the writ issued to Sheriff Gibson for sale of their property at East Batler was com menced before Judge Galbrenth, Mon day afternoon. The writ was issued on a judgment signed by President John ; Robensteen. of the Eleanor Co. last fall, i The history of the transactions between i the Eleanor Co. and the Butler Land & Improvement Co , as brought out by the hearing is about as follows: The Butler Co. was to give the Elea nor Co. $50.000.in the shape of a twenty acre site at $1 000 an acre and subscrip tions for 130,000 worth of stock in con sideration for the building and operat ing of a S3OOOOO open hearth furnace and sheet, bar and billet mill at East But ler. An article for sale of the 20 acres (on which the Butler Co. has entered suit for ejectment) was drawn up and at various times and on various excus es, Robensteen and Porter, the secre tary of the Eleanor Co.. secured $29. 500 in cash from the Butler Co.. which is composed of D.H. Sutton, F. H. Mur phy. Win. Campbell, John S Campbell, J. F. Anderson, W. D. Brandon and J. H. Troutman. The last two payments were given on notes signed by Robensteen and Porter, with the understanding, they claim, that the Butler Co was to pay them. These payments were m:»de on the rep resentations of Robenrteen that he had paid $26,000 to the Reese-Hammond Fire brick Co. for brick and fire clay. President Hammond, of the brick com pany, said on the stand that Roben steen had paid but a small amount on the purchase, and still owed them S7OO. The company's salesman, Mr. Ramsey, said that Robensteen bad the brick shipped to Butler billed at $lO per thousand above the market price, which on paper made it appear to the Butler Co. that he had purchased nearly twice as much as he really had. Henry Troutman stated on the witness stand that he wanted to have Robensteen ar rested last December, and if ha bad had his way, not one dollar would ever have been paid to the Eleanor people.

January Operations—Field operations during the first month of the new year were characterized by a general decline in nearly every section of the produc ing regions. The unprecedented cold weather that prevailed during January had a decided effect in checking the drilling of n- w wells and thtj pumping of old ones. The southwest districts of Pennsyl vania, which include that portion of the state between Butler and Arm strong counties and the West Virginia line, show a general falling off in all lines of field activity, but these sections continue to hold out inviting prospects and operators are occasionally rewarded with very fair nroducers. The January record for these sections was 49 wells completed, with 407 barrels new pro dnctiou. Of the new wells, 13 were dry and seven gassers, leaving 29 that were productive of oil. This was an average yield of 14 barrels to the well. —Dertick. STOCK FOR SALE. I have two Registered Guernsey bull calves that I will sell. Inquire of J. A. GKEGG, R. F. D. 7, Butler. Pa.
