To Republican Candidates.
For the information of the candidates
for the various offices at the primary
- election of March 26th. 1904. I quote
the following requirements from the
Rules of the Republican Party in
Bntler County.
"No name shall go on the ballot uu
less filed with the county chairman 30
days prior to the day fixed for the
primary. .
When sending in jour name kindly
give yonr first name in full, and also
your post office address with R. F. D.
No. if any. In addition to this I request
each candidate to inform me of the
number of ballots he will want for his
personal use, as the rules require the
chairman to furnish "a reasonable
amount of ballots for each candidate.'
February 25th, 1904 will be the last day
on which your names can be filed in
compliance with the rules.
J. W HUTCHISON,
Chairman.
POLITICAL.
A political move is hinted at in the
correspondence of the New York Post
which would enact in that State for the
benefit of the Republicans an act passed
iu Michigan 12 years ago for the benefit
of the Democrats. The Democrats hav
ing control of the Michigan Legislature
preceding the election of 1892, and
being very certain that they could not
carry the State on the Presidential
election, passed an act for the choice of
Presidential electors by Congressional
districts. The result of this was to
divide the electoral vote of that State
between Cleveland and Harrison and to
give the former five votes that he would
not have had if the electoral ticket had
been chosen by the general vote of the
The situation in New York is akin to
that in Michigan in that the Legislature
is now strongly Republican, and a good
many people think the State doubtful
on the Presidential issue. The corre
spondent referring to this subject says
that the passage of such an act in N Y
has been under discussion, but leaves
the impression that it is viewed un
favorably.
P 'There is no doubt of the constitution
ality of such an act. It was not only
affirmed by the Supreme Court in the
Michigan case, but it is plainly author
ized by the Constitution, and the
choice of electors by Congressional
districts was actually practiced in early
|H times.
A Great Fire.
A hundred and forty acres of build
ings in the very heart of Baltimore
were burned from noon of Sunday last
till Monday evening. The loss in build
ings alone is estimated at one-hundred
:i,' and fifty millions; and the personal
property destroyed may double this
loss. %
The fire originated in a large, six
story wholesale dry goods store, which
was soon a mass of flames ;a strong south
breeze was blowing, and the flames
spread over the wholesale district of
the city, and then into the retail and
office district The local firemen were
powerless to stop it, and help was sent
from all the neighboring cities and
towns; the water supply became ex
hausted and salt water from the bay
was used, and rows of bnildings in the
pathway of the flames were blown up
with dynamite, but it was not until
Monday evening that the fire was con
sidered under control.
The Postoffice and the City Building,
which stand in squares by themselves,
were saved, bat the new Custom House
was ruined.
A strange feature of so great a fire
was that nobody was killed, and but
one serious accident was reported—a
York, Pa. fireman had a leg broken.and
was badly burned.
The fire put fifty thousand p9ople out
of employment, and made many a rich
man poor.
Baltimore is the centre of the oyster
trade of the Chesapeake bay; and it was
also headquarters for canned goods—
tomatoes, corn, etc. —and as a dozen or
more of the large packing an! storage
houses were burned, the fire will prob
ably affect the prices of such goods.
The local police, policemen from oth
er towns, and soldiers from the fort#
and Washington were put on guard
over and around the ruins.
During the past 30 years there lias
gone up in flames and smoke in the
United States property valued at
•8,370,363,066, upon which there was
an insurance of $1,077,241,528, The
smallest fire loss in any year since 1874
was $64,315,000 in 1878, and the largest
was $174,160,680 in 1901. Last year the
estimated loss was was $135,000,000.

KUJSIA AND JAPAN.
On Satur day last Japan severed all
diplomatic relations with Russia and
the ministers of each country prepared
to leave their posts; commercial war
risks rose from 40 to 70 per cent
On Monday Japan was landing troops
in southern Corea.
Monday night at midnight, the Japa
nese Navy struck its first blow at the
Russian navy, and it seems to have
been a very surprising and staggering
one.
The Russian fleet was lying in the
outer harbor of Port Arthur (their
stronghold) and was not expecting an
attack; the Japanese fleet approached
unobserved, and their torpedo boats
went in and exploded torpedoes against
three of the Russian ships, so disabling
them that they had to be beached. The
Russians were awakened by the explo
sions and were completely snrprieed,
and though they hastily prepared for
action, they were so crippled that they
dared not go out and give battle to the
Japanese fleet, which lingered in sight,
exchanging shots with the fort till noon
next day. One of the Russian ships
that was disabled was built *by the
Cramps at Philadelphia.
Besides this it was reported that the
Jap. fleet caught two Russian cruisers
in the harbor of Chemulpo and forced
them to surrender without firms; a sun
Part of the Russian fleet is frozen up
in the harbor of Yladivostock, and this
victory feems to make Japan master of
the Yellow and Japan seas. She has
landed a large army at the seaport of
Seoul, the capital of Corea, and is tak
ing possession of that country. The
next fighting will probably be on the
land.
Dr. John E. Byers.
Dr. John Eggleston Byers died at
10:30 Monday night and his death is
looked upon bv those best acquainted
with the doctor as resultant of his un
ceasing labors daring the past three
months. In November while attending
one of the first fever victim*. Pltilo
Morse, dec'd. of Lincoln St, Dr
Byers had a slight paralytic stroke, but
soon recovered. Monday afternoon he
started to drive to the County Home.
Stopping at the office of Dr. James
Grossman he complained of a severe
pain in his head, Dr. Grossman gave
him medicine and wanted him to re
ture home. Dr. Byers insisted on pro
ceeding but could not tell where he
wanted to go This alarmed Dr.
Grossman and ho accompanied Dr.
Byers At the home of W. J. Emerick
at the top of Centre Ave. a stop was
made and while there Dr. Bpers fell
from his chair, striking his forehead
heavily oil the floor. He was uncon
scious and was taken to his home on
S. Washington St. in an ambulance
Dra. Neyman, McCandless and Gross
man attended him without avail and
the end came.
Dr. Byers was born at Bonny Brook.
June 14, 1848. He read medicine with
Dr. A. M Neyman and early built np
a large practice. For twenty years be
fore his death he was surgeon for the
Pennsylvania Railroad and was a
member of the National Association of
Railway Surgeons, the State and
County Medical Societies, the Knights
of Pythias and Woodmen.
He was also County Physician for the
State board of health and his dutits in
this office, together with the immense
amount of work caused by the fever
epidemic was too mush. lie had suc
ceeded Dr. W. R. Batt as a member of
the Executive Relief Committee
He was a member of the Second
Presbyterian church, and is survived by
his wife, a daughter of James Steven
eon. deceased. His remains were laid
