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."

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,

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

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.

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.

Obituary.
Howard Kerr, an old soldier of Fox
burg, died last Friday, and was buried
in Allegheny cemetery, this county.

MRS. ISAAC CHRISTIE
Mrs. Isaac Christie died at her home
in Hooker, Pa., May 17, 1904, aged 60
years.
The Women's Missionary Society of
Concord Presbyterian church has lost
one its most valued members. She has
said "Good Bye" to her loved ones here,
and there are weeping eyes and heavy
hearts, and many empty places because
she is gone, and now she is on the other
side where there are no tears but only
joy-
Mrs. Christie united with Concord
church when very young and for over 40
years enjoyed the continual blessings
which come to the consistent working
christian.
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.
