Roosevelt's Speech of Accept ance. i Sin the course of time the President will write a long letter accepting the nomination tendered him by the Chica go convention, in which he will set forth his views on public questions in ' detail. In the meantime he has given the people a bjisk little talk in the form of a speech in answer to the address of Speaker Cannon, who, as chairman of the Committee of Notification, told him how the convention did its work. Can non and the committee descended upon Oyster Bay on Wednesday last, where the formalities were conducted. The President was very happy in his response. There were really no new suggestions in it. It conld hardly be expected that there would be, for the Republican campaign is based upon achievements alreadv accomplished, with promises to continue the policies which have made the country great and prosperous. It was on these matters that the President dwelt. Some of his sentences are worth re calling, even by those who read his speech through. For instance: In the years gone by we have made the deed square with the word. %* Our opponents now appeal for confi dence on the ground that if triumphant they may be trusted to prove false to every principle which in the last eight years they have laid down as vital. %* Seemingly, their present attitude as to *heir record is that some of them were mistaken and others insincere. V We are not constrained to keep silent on any vital question; we are divided on no vital question; our policy is con tinuous, and is the same for all sections and localities. V There is nothing experimental about the government we ask the people to continue in power, for our performance in the past, our proved govermental efficiency, is a guarantee as to our prom ises for the future. *** In snch a fundamental matter as the enforcement of the law we do not have to depend upon promises, but merely to ask that our record be taken as an . earnest of what we shall continue to do. V In dealing with great organizations known as trusts, we do not have to ex plain why the laws were not enforced, but to point out that they actually have been enforced and that legislation has been enacted to increase the effective ness of their enforcement. *.* We know what we mean when we ■peak of an honest and staple cmrency. V So long as the Republican party is in power the gold standard is settled, • • * Prosperity has come at home; the national honor and interest have been upheld abroad. Changes in tariff schedules can with safety be made only by those whose de votion to the principle of protection is beyond question. *** Our policy is one of fair and equal justice to all men, paying no heed to whether he is rich or poor, nor heeding his race, his creed or his birth -place. %» Our foreign policy has been so con ducted that, while not one of our just claims has been sacrificed, our relations with all foreign nations are now of the most peaceful kind. V During the seven years that have just passed there is no dnty, domestic or foreign, which we have shirked; no necessary task which we have feared to undertake, or which we have not per formed with reasonable efficiency. V We face the future with our past and onr present as guarantors of our promises; and we are content to stand or fall by the record which we have made and are making. Assassination in Russia. As the Russian Minister of the In terion, Von Pleh've, was on his way to a railroad station in St. Petersburg, last Thursday morning, a bomb was thrown which struck his carriage and demolished it, and killed both him and his coachman. The bomb is belived to have been composed of pyroxylin, as it gave off little smoke. The force of the explosion was so terrific that it not only broke every window within a radius of half mile, but reduced the heavy paving stone to powder, heaved up the pave ment and flung a heavy piece of iron work of the carriage across the canal, severing the thick mast of a barge, which fell, stunning the captain of the barge. Everybody in the street waa knocked down and more or less bruised. Von Plehve succeeded DeWitte, some months ago as Minister of the Interior or Prime Minister of Russia; be was the Czar's closest advisor, and was con sidered to be the instigator of the mas sacres in Finlanc', Armenia and Southern Russia. BISHOP Henry C. Potter delivered the principal address, Tuesday, at the for mal opening of the "Subway Tavern," in New York, a model saloon established by a number of leaders in the reform movement. The purpose of the promo ters is to serve pure liquor and food at low prices under the best possible mor al conditions. In his address Bishop Potter said he believed in the old vil liage tavern as a meeting place, where a long evening could be spent without the necessity of intoxication. "I belong to a dozen clubs," he said, "If I want to go out to dinner or have a social evening I can do so in any one of these. But what of the man who liyes in two rooms with five small children? He has no club. To get his glass of beer with his lunch he must go to the sa loon." not take the beer hornet WAR NOTES. During the past week the two great armies facing each other in Manchuria have had several collision", and yester day. the Russian Southern army was reported on full retreat northward A glance nt the map discovers the re markable length of the lines of the op posing armies. The Russians are along the railroad from a position near Haicheng to Muk den, a distance of over 100 miles; while the Japanese are on the hills to the east of valley, though which the rail road runs, and to the south and west of the Russian portion as far as New Chwang, a distance of over 120 miles, and their capture of the latter place enables them to land men and supplies, by water, to the west of the railroad and Russian lines. Field Marshall Oyaina has supreme command of the Jap forces, which are divided into three armies,the first nnder Knroki, to the north: the second under Oku to the south and west, and the third under Nodzu in the mountains between them. The Russian forces are or have been similarly divided and have the advantage of the railroad for concentration. - The movements of the armies are being watched by military experts, all over the world, with great interest. The Russians says that the Japs have 300,000 men on the firing line. Several engagements occurred during the past week, in all of which the Japs were successful, and the Russians now seem to be shortening their line, and con centrating from Liao Yang to Moukden. In the meantime the siege of Port Arthur progresses slowly, and the Japs are reported to have met with some serious reverses. Tlieir blockading squadron, there, comprises almost the entire fighting force of their Navy, and this leaves the Vladivostock fleet free to prey upon the commerce of Japan, which is a serious blow to her. This 'squadron is said to have returned to port for coal. Butler's Fever Damage Suits. The proposed entering of suits against the Butler Water Company for dam ages for the typhoid fever epidemic which devastated that town last winter is on its face a radical step. Neverthe less it is one which the citizens of But ler appear heartily in favor of taking, and accordingly an association has been formed for the purpose of beginning a test case. Inasmuch as there were 1,500 cases of the fever during the But ler epidemic, it is apparent that a de cision affirming the liability of the com pany in damages to the survivors would b9 a most serious affair for the corpora tion. It would be more than that. It would place the business of private water companies everywhere on an en tirely different basis. As the business is now operated, it deals generally with water in whatever condition the most convenient sources of supply may chance to contain it. The number of water companies which filter their water, or go to uncontami nated sources, increases, of course, each year. But that the companies are liable in damages to the citizens of the towns and boroughs they supply for sickness caused by the customary filth of Amer ican drinking water is a proposition which, if sustained, will give an unpre cedented boom to the filtration industry. While Butler is endeavoring to revenge itself upon this private water company for its alleged criminal negligence, is it not likely that municipal corporations which supply water to their citizens will also be proceeded against for dam ages on the same principle?—Pittsburg Press. CHURCH !NOTES. A Pittsburg church has a "Solid Com fort" club, which sees to it that the bouse of worship is cool and well venti lated on Sundays, everybody is provided with a palm leaf tan, and that ice cold lemonade is served to all who want it. That might increase the attendance at some of the churches if tried here. The annual convention of the Young People's societies of Butler Presbytery, Presbyterian Church, met yesterday in Harmony Church. Harrisville, and is in session today. Rev. C. S. Meanor of Harmony church. Rev J. H. Breaden. Rev W. E. Purvis, Rev, S. S. Wilson, Rev. J. A. C. McQuistion, Mrs. R. E. English, Judge Galbreath, Rev. J. V. McConnell. and Rev. C. R. Watson are on the program. A new religion has arisen in Mars, or perhaps we should say a new exponent of the old one. These people, called Russellites from their founder and lead er met the past two Sabbaths in the Woodmen,s Hall, Peters Block. They are second Adventists and repudiate eternal punishment. According to their tenets the world is to be convulsed with revolt and anarchy for ten or fif teen years, at the end of which the mil leniuin will begin. Agents have can vassed the town selling books in their interest. They have a small following there, probably ten or a dozen. —News. ACCIDENTS. Henry Heyl of Franklin twp. had his jawbone broken on Wednesday of last week by being kicked by a horse. He was about to go into the stall of a usu ally gentle animal when it became frightened, knocked him over and kick ed him twice—once in the face and once in the body. Mr. Heyl, who has been subject to fainting spells for a year past, is sup posed to have fallen against the liorse. He says the last thing he can remember is having both hands on the horse's hip, and from this it is believed he was kick ed after falling. His son, in another part of the barn, heard th 9 unusual noise and ran to his aid. Mr. Heyl is now recovering as well as could be ex pected. The name of the young man who killed by being struck by a B. R. & P. train at* Mars station, on Wednesday evening of last week was L. E. Pace. He was a native of North Carolina, was about 23 years of age and nnmarried. He was an extra or relief telegraph op erator on the B & O. and made his headquarters at Mars, boarding with Mrs. Anderson on the east side. The south bound train glowed up for him, he made a rush for it. not noticing the approach of the train going north, which caught and killed him. and car ried him for ; !00 yards before he fell off. A Hungarian mimed Brisjack was killed in a coal mine ut>ar Evans City last Saturday, by the delayed ei plosion of an overhead shot, and his brother, who waa etanding near him was serions ly injured. The dead man leaves a wife and child in Hungary. Five persons died from the heat in Pittsburg, Monday. Tuesday morning Samuel Vanderliu and James Barr were sent out by Bar nard & Coovert to *late Rider's house east of Jauiisonville They got a scaffolding up aud were taking pp slate when the scaffolding fell. Van derliu struck the ground and had deep gashes cut in bis forehead aud face and and had one tooth broken off. Barr fell on the front porch and sustained sever al bad bruises. Vauderlin was brought to his father, Joseph Vanderlin's, home in Butler. Butler friends of Mrs. Wm. McCon nell of Adamsville, Crawford county, formerly of this place, received word, last Thursday, of her death resulting from blood poisoning following a mos quito bite. Two weeks ago Mrs. Me Council while pulling weeds in her gar den was Htung on the hand by a mos quito. A day or two later the spot be came inflamed, the swelling spread to her arm aud blood poisoning soon devel oped, death being preceded by great suffering. nighwav Minder an«l Robbery. The people of Cambria county are ex cited over the murder and robbery of Supt. Campbell of the coal mines at Puritan, and his assistant, named Hays, while driving from Portage to the mines, last Saturday, with two weeks pay for the men, in a satchel. Campbell received the money 'nearly $3000) at Portage, which is a station on the main line of the P R- R . this side of Cresson, and started with it for the mimes. The road runs through several pieces of woods, in one of which the robbers had made an ambush from which they fired shot guns. Hays' face and neck were filled with shot, and he died al most instantly, in the buggy. Camp- Dell was struck in the body, aud was knocked out of the buggy. He fell to the road, and showing signs of life wrs shot through the shoulder with a revol ver. by one of the three robbers; who then grabbed the satchel and made off through the woods. Campbell tried to crawl to the next house, but a farmer came along with his wagon and took him back to Portage, where the alarm was given, and a pursuit organized. About five hundred men organized, that evening, and traced the robbers through woods to the great or 15-niile long cedar swamp: and on Sunday and Sunday night from 1200 to 1500 men stood guard around the swamp, while others searched caves and abandoned coal mines. On Sunday Campbell was yet con scions and at the Altoona hospital; and since then the robbers are snpposed to have escaped from the swamp to the mountains, with a large force yet pur suing them. Oil, NOTES. The Market—Remains at $1.50. In the Pennsylvania and connected oil fields 851 wells were completed in July, including 140 dry holes and 58 gassers. The average yield of the new wells was less than 10} barrels to th-' well Dur ing June there was completed (34 l J pro ductive wells, 182 dry holes aud 02 gas sers. The average yield to the well was 11£ barrels. Derrick. Penn twp.—and the McCaluiont dis trict came tc the front a/ain. last week The Young brothers well on the Hnsel ton heirs began flowing when the bit en tered the third sand and flowed at the rate of about 100 barrels a day, and in creased as drilling proceeded. Whitehill and Co. have a good well on the Wallace. The Sontli Penn Oil Or and others have struck a well on the Staples farm at Maharg which is said to be a beauty, one man who watched it Tuesday said it was pumping steadily at 2 or 3 barrels an hour and everv hour or two made a flow of of 7or 8 barrels. It is rated at 120 barrels a day. The well was drilled as a wild cat to the Hundred foot, with out success and then drilled down to the third. A number of new wells will be started. Fairview — Byers and Co. have well on the Rodgers heirs near Karns City. Buffalo twp.—The American National (Jas Co. has a good gnsser on the Stepp. Sli|)i)crv Rock's New Water Works. There seems to be a number of opin ions about bonding the town for the erection of new water works and the following statements are given to call to mind some facts concerning this, be fore the vote is taken: What does this town most need, water or sewerage'! Almost any intel ligent person, after a moment s thought would say, sewerage. This would cer tainly be so if they would go through some of the alleys of this town or go near some of the foul smelling ditch drains where everything is drained into the street. We have more water now than we can dispose of. It will take every cent the town can raise to put in a new water system. Then, when will the town get a sewer ? .Not until the bonds for the water are paid off. and in a town in which only about one hundred families would take water even if they supplied it to all who are at present taking it (which they w ill not.) lam afraid the youngest person living in town now will not live to 6ee a sewer here. Who will pay the interest on these bonds? Every tax payer, whether Le uses the water or not. We hear it said that the water will be supplied cheaper than at present. There can be no grounds for such a belief as the council has not said what they will furnish it for. ?o all talk is only a guess. The present rates are one dollar per month for hot ana cold water all through the house, a closet, bath and lavatory. The same in Butler costs sixteen dollars per year. Others say that Slippery Rock can afford a town water supply as well as Grove City. Grove City is at least four times as large but the expense of running the two plants will be pratical ly the same. Four hundred families may be supplied with water for nearly the same as one hundred. The reason is plain—one man and oue pump can do either. Again. Grove City furnishes water for the railroad, aud for this the town receives more money than the water rents of Slippery Rock will ever amount to. Peop'e say that insurance rates will be lowered. This may be true if we have an organized fire company But suppose the rates are lowered one fifth, how much difference will that make to nine tenths of the people in town. My house at present costs two and one-half dollars to insure it for one thousand dollars. With an organized fire company it would probably be two dollars. Fifty cents a year saved by paying three or four times that much tax on bonds. Of course the four or five stores that pay heavy premiums would be benefited and if the majority of citizens of this borough wish to pay several hundred dollars interest on bonds each year in order to lessen tue fire insurance rates of five or six of the citizens I can stand it, and I can also stand the filthy gutters and other un pleasant results of the lack of drainage. But there is still another view to be taken and it is the most serious to be considered. The council by a former action granted Mr. McGonegal the right-of-way by an agreement to sup ply this town with water for domestic use. He ha«t performed his part of the contract and if the town goes ahead without some undenstanding the courts I will have to decide whether the borough will have to fulfill its part. When Mr Patterson drilled a well on Patterson Heights, ho had great difficulty in find ing any one to take it Every one said it could pever pay in a town of this size. The first year not Pior3 than five families took water. The next year there were five or six more, but for a longtime he had only twenty-five or thirty families. This did not pay ex penses and even now there are only about one hundred houses connect* d with the line, but some of the more sel fish ones nay that if it is going to pay the town shonid take charge of it and so they have brought it up in connec tion with sewers (which every one wants) and have proceeded to take a trial vote being careful pot to give the citizens a chance to vote oa water qnjJ sewerage separately. It was asked. Do you waut water and sewerage? The vote had to be simply yes or no. Now a vote is to be taken on bonding the town for water alone. Sewers are left out altogether and if people ever expect to ever have a sewer they will have to vote down the water bonds-. Some women v/ho u'.vn prop?i ty in town remarked recently thai tfoey were un able to find out much about v.'iiit wfts beiug done but if they had a vote they would not vote for the privilege of pay ing dollars of interest on bonds so that they might get their insurance a few cents cheaper wlk-«. sowers are needed so badly. The town might uayo ];sd a large line in before had there been any effort made to have it done but the council has never made any mention of the subject to the owner of the present water works. I know whereof I speak in this matter for I have made inquiry. A. CJTIJ&EN. Slippery Rock, Pa., August -f. I'Ml, A Curt I of ThaiiUs. Mr. aud Mis C W.

Her crown will be the crown of Life promised to the faithful, even unto death. She sat in her pew on tlio Sabbaths through the year until her long last ill ness and then how she was missed. Now we shall see her face no more except through memory's vision and that vision will always be precious to all who knew her. She was a charter member of this missionary society, and we always re lied upon "her to do well her part, be cause she never disappointed We can ill afford to lose one like her—tested, tried and true. Yet we cannot but re joice that her waiting is over, her battle fought, her labor ended and her victory won. She has left, and a home is desolate, but she waits in the eternal "home land" of the soul to welcome her loved ones. She has made a church with all of its different organizations the poorer by her going, but the richer by her living. She left a train of good deeds behind her, and an incentive to many to follow as she followed iu the footsteps of her Mast* r. She was laid to rest in Concord cemetery to wait the awakening of the just to complete her eternal joy. MRS. M, II MARSHALL, MRS. HENRY KUHN, Committee. J*. E. Puttison. Ex-Governor Robert E.
