ties
On Tuesday Senator George W. Mc-
Nees of the Anostrong-Bntler senatorial
district, secured the appointment of
Porter W. Lowry of Bntler. as clerk of
the Senate, and Armstrong county was
therefore given the "go-by" in the dis
tribution of the "plums," all of which
is laid to the factional fight Senator
McNees had with the other Republican
leaden of this county, who opposed his
candidacy to the office be now holds,
•ad who are held responsible for his de
feat at.his first effort to become Senator
several years ago.— Kittanning Times.
After waiting for more than one year
for the added pay provided for by the
Moon Judges' Salary Act of 1904, the
judges in commission at the time of its
approval by Gov. Pennypacker will be
paid. State Treasurer Mathues issued
an order last Thursday that the judges
be paid without further delay.
Mr. Mathues also gave orders to cash
the warrants issued by Auditor General
Snyderbelore suit was brought by Jas.
W. M. Newton of Philadelphia in the
United States circuit court, in that way
to test the legality of the recent decision
of Justice Thompson of the State Su
preme Court, that the act applied to all
jndges in the State. The auditor gen
eral will issue warrants to the judges
for their back pay as fast as they file
their requisitions and the warrants will
be promptly cashed by the State Treas
urer.
Rep. Hays has asked the House for
$30,000 for the Butler Hospital—double
the amount allowed by the Board of
Charities; and Rep. Hockenberry has
aaked for $75,000 for the Slipperyrock
Normal.
An Allegheny Co. State Senator has
introduced a libel law that is almost as
idiotic as Pennypacker's.
A measure, said to be ready for intro
duction in both houses of theLegislatnre,
provides for a board of three members
in each judicial district with salaries
ranging according to population from
$350 per year in the smallest counties to
$5 ,000 a year in counties like Allegheny
and Philadelphia. The boards are to be
appointed by the Governor and are to
serve for five years from January 1
next, when the bill is to become effec
tive, The commissions are to enjoy all
the authority and rights now enjoyed
by the courts of law in license cases.
The clerk* of courts in the various dis
tricts are to be clerks to the commission.
Washington JNotcu.
On Friday last the Senate confirmed
the nomination of E. D. Robinson as
Postmaster of Butler, who will take
charge of the office as soon as bis bond
ii approved.
On Saturday the House passed the In
dian appropriation bill, and Speaker
Cannon appointed a committee of seven
including Rep. Palmer of this state, to
present to the Senate the impeachment
case against Judge Swayne of Florida.
The Hepburn railroad rate and rebate
bill was introduced in the House that
day.
Senator Smoot had bis inning last
week, and the witnesses for the defense
were heard, and they are making Smoot
appeal in the light of a reformer—a
fierce and unrelenting opponent of
polygamy. The opinion among the
Mormons who are in Washington aa
witnesses is, however, that Senator
Smoot will not be permitted to retain
his seat. The sentiment throughout
the country is such, they argue, that
the average Senator will vote to unseat
Smoot whether he thinks be ought to or
not He will be afraid of being regard
ed as an upholder of Mormonism. And
it is altogether possible that they have
properly diagnosed the case. The aver
age Senator likes his job, and public
sentiment sometimes cuts a figure in the
•lection of Senators. But not often.
The Senate organized for th 6 trial of
Judge Swayne, Tuesday, with Senator
Piatt of Connectisat presiding.
REIGN OF TERROR IX RUS
SIA.
Late events in Russia are illustrative
of the saying that '"Whom the Lord
wishes to destroy he first makes mad.
That government trifled with the
Japanese and brought about a war in
which her army and navy have been
continually worsted, and on Sunday it
deliberately provoked revolution and
civil war.
The trouble started in some of the
great factories of St Petersburg, owned
in whole or ia part by the government,
and under its supervision. The work
men were dissatisfied with their wages
and hours, and "struck" for a settle
ment. The strike, under the leadership
of a priest, named Gopon. who is said
to have accumulated his political ideas
in this country, assumed a semi-politi
cal character. The strikers announced
that they would assemble in the great
public square fronting the Winter Pal
ace, the official residence of the Czar
during the winter mcnths, on Sunday
afternoon, with a written petition
which they hoped the Czar would re
ceive in person from their leader. That
afternoon they termed in great squads
in different parts of the city,and march
ed towards the square, the squad led
by Father Gopon numbering about ten
thousand. They were not warned to
desist, and their women and children
accompanied them.
On coming near the square they
found all the avenues to it blocked by
soldiers, and upon their persisting in
entering it, were fired upon and killed
and wounded by the hundreds. All the
processions attempting to enter the
square from different directions were
treated in a like manner. The people
were shot down without regard to sex
or age. The killed and wounded were,
as a rule, carried away by their friends.
Father Gopon was spared by the sol
diers, and has since disappeared. That
night squads of brutal Cossacks cleared
the streets, and all the public squares
were occupied by fifty regiments of
troops.
The highest estimate of the killed is
2,000, and wounded 5,000.
Next day all was qaiet in St. Peters
burg, but the "strike" was reported as
spreading in the factories of Moscow
and other large towns.
The first effect of this terrible affair
will be to shatter the belief of the work
ingmen and peasants in the good in
tentions of the Czar, and this will pro
bably be followed by schemes for ven
geance, thoagh at present the workmen
mast submit, as tliey have neither arms
nor money. It will also hnrt the credit
of the Russian government in France
and other countries where it has been
borrowing large sums of money.
On Tnesday the troops had St. Peters
burg well in hand, bnt proclamations,
said to come from Father Gopon advo
cating violence were being circulated,
and a reign of terror was feared
In Moscow all the large factories
were closed, and a big demonstration
was being arranged for next day.
The comment of the Liberal paper at
Moscow, on the official report of the af
fair at St- Petersburg, was sensational
for that country:
"This official report <loes not come
from the scene of war, the victims have
not fallen on th£ battlefields of Man
churia, nor in a fight with a foreign
foe. but in a bloody conflict between
troops and Russian burghers. Arms
and slaughter may avail to put down
a peaceful demonstration, but force is
not powerful enough to quench the as
pirations of the Russian heart, ward off
the consequences of Sunday's volleys
and prevent the movement for liberty
and a justly organized government
coming to a full fruition."
Disturbances were reported at Ra
dorn, and several other manufacturing
towns.
WAR NOTES.
The North .Sea Court assembled in
Paris, in the foreign office, last Thurs
day, with the French admiral presiding.
The British charges consisting of seven
teen specifications, alleging a case of
unprovoked assault upon the fishing
fleet, with the killing of two and
wounding of six men, were read The
Russian answer describes two small
suspicions looking boats, without lights,
making towards the fleet, and causing
it to open fire upon them, and these
torpedo boats disappeared during the
firing.
Nothing of particular importance has
happened in the far £ast during the
past week. The Japs are blockading
Vladivostcck, and are capturing vessels
containing supplies for the Russian
army.
The Trial or the Recall.
It is to be regretted that the people of
Pennsylvania do not possess that ad
mirable political institution, the recall.
Did they have it just now there might
soon be a shaking of the dust of Harris
burg from a certain pair of boots for
ever, and an accession of sanity and
dignity in the gubernatorial conduct of
the Commonwealth.
The recall, which is new in the Unit
ed states, is an arrangement by which
an elected official may be summarily
turned out of office during the term for
which he was chosen. Upon the peti
tion of a certain percentage of constitu
ents, an election must be ordered; and
if some other person receives the high
est number of votes, the official must
vacate the office at once.
The institution has just been "tried
out"—according to the Arena,—in Los
Angeles. Cal., where a member of the
City Council was instrumental in hav
ing a contract awarded to another than
the lowest bidder. The recall having
been provided for in certain amend
ments to the city's charter, twenty-five
percent—the required number—of the
official's constituents petitioned for an
election. The result was the defeat of
the incumbent, who, imbued with an
i<jlea that public office is a private snap,
appealed to the Court. One of his
claims was that, having been elected to
the office, he had a vested right in it,
I and that it could not be taken from
I him without due process of law. The
i Court sustained the recall, and to this
: claim answered that a public office is
I not property, but an agency that may
at any time be terminated by the prin
cipal—the people.
The recall, like the initiative and ref
erendum —which is working admirably
in Oregon—is receiving a great deal of
attention from the increasingly large
number of Americana interested in
good government, and if upon more ex
tended test it ia found good, it is likely
that it will be introduced in some other
municipalities, if not in some States.—

Firemen Banquet
Last Thursday evening lfts tnen, coin
prising the Good Will First Ward,
Campbell, Springdale and East End
hose companies and rescue hook and
ladder company sat down to long tables
in the dining room of the Standard
Hotel, and enjoyed snch a banquet as
would throw any epicure into a state of
seraphic happiness. Not more than a
score of firemen were absent. It was
the fire department's first banquet since
its organization away back in '7B, and
did credit to the "big chief v " Martin
H Reiber. and the"big six." Earl Clint
on, of the First Wards, James Vogeley,
of the Goodwills, James Shaffer, of the
South Sides, George Liiuberg. of the
East Ends, A. A. Barrickman, of the
Rescue?, and Axel Asen of the Camp
bells. Through the kindness of Mr.
Clinton the hotel was given gratis for
the occasion, and to Mr. Reiber belongs
the honor of planning the layout
After eating. Chief Jacob Burckhai
ter acted as toastmaster, and respon-es
were made by Col. W. T. Mechlins.
Burgess W. M. Kenhedy, Charles M.
Heineman. E. H. Negley nnd Lawrence
Snyder. Chief Burckbalter then iu
behalf of the department, presented
Mr. and Mrs. Clinton with an elegant
Morris chair, for which Mr. Clinton
made acknowledgement in a few well
chosen remarks.
By eleven a'clock the fun was all
over and a train of trolley cars carried
the boys up town again.
The Legislature.
It looks as if the present might be a
very important session of the Legisla
ture.
Several important bilis have already
been introduced, among them one giv
ing the people the right to vote on the
license question, known as a general
local option law. Another is the grant
ing to street car or trolley companies
the right to carry freight.
There are are several others we no
tice. and the members will probably
have to be on their guard lest they are
caught up in some scheme contained in
some of them. At the beginning of
the session an apparently bad move
was made in referring all petitions of
the people to committees without being
read. The right of petition is an in
valuable one to our people, and should
not in any way be hindered or hidden
from the public. N.
The West Sun bury Farmers In
stitute.
The Farmers Institute held at West
Sunbury, Jan. 16 and 17 was well at
tended and was well worth attending.
The chairmen during the different
sessions were Norman Glenn. G. B.
Turner, 8. S. Campbell, Horace Glenn
and N. H. Thompson.
W. C. Black, of Balm, Pa., addressed
the institute on "Value of Pedigree,"
and J F. Campbell, of York, Pa., gave
instruction on "Profitable egg Produc
tion," "Poultry House and Fixtures"
and "Commercial Potato Growing."
.Prof. Menges, of York. Pa., explain
ed "Fixation of Free Nitrogen" and
"The advantages of a knowledge of
chemistry to the farmer," and gave an
excellent address Tuesday evening on
"The Necessity for Education for the
Farmer Compared with other Voca
tions.'
O W. Stonghton gave a talk on "Care
of the Dairy herd," and Supt. Painter
gave a good talk on "The Home and
the School."
The Hon. R. F. Swartz, of Analo
mink, proved to be both instructive and
witty.
Music was furnished by the local
band.
Judge Criswell of Venango Co. is a
candidate for re-election; and Miller
and Sibley are against him, on account
of his decision in the divorce 3ase.
TRAVELING in Mexico is dangerous.
Four Americans and one Mexican were
ambushed and killed by Yaqui Indians,

How we loved our darling Edna,
Of our life she was our joy;
But, she's gone to yon bright shore.
Where we see her face no more.
It wan hard from her to part,
Yes, it almost broke onr hearts;
And the tears in torrents ran,
For we lost our Edna dear.
Edna stay with Christ on high,
We will all go by and by;
And we will meet to part no more
On that ever blissful shore.
As she lay upon her pillow,
Knowing death was. oh, so near;
Not a murmuring word she uttered,
Jesus banished every fear.
Brothers, sisters, sorrowing parent,
She has only gone before,
You may all be reunited
Once again on Canaan's shore.

LAST INDIAN METHODS.
A Servant'* Subtle bat I n»uc««»fal
Scheme For RtTnge.
A trade journal tells a story of nu
adventure which nearly cost oue of
Its eorr*fspou<leiits in India his life. Ihe
Indian merchant was a wealthy man
who had got on well with the natives,
but two of bis servants had had a
quarrel over a girl whom they both
wooed. The merchant interfered in the
fight. The unsuccessful suitor, Laj,
began to make trouble, and his rival,
the husband, warned the merchant
against him. Nothing happened for
gome months. Then the merchant
went away ou business. On bis re
turn he was told llxat Laj bad been
caught in bis bedroom and locked up.
In the past this meant trouble. The
merchant called his servants and had
a thorough search made of the house.
They examined every trunk, bureau
and bedstead, every picture, statue and
crevice in the wall and crack in the
tioor, expecting to find a hooded cobra
or other poisonous reptile. They scru
tinized every knob, handle and gar
ment to see If it had been smeared
with poison or with juices which at
tracted venomous creatures. Then
they searched the wine cellar, the pan
try and the storeroom. But they found
nothing.
The merchant was tired and after
eating went to the cabinet where he
kept his cigars. It was a large case of
teak and plate glass, with an old fash
ioned silver Indian lock.
As he was about to insert the key in
the keyhole I.aj's successful rival, who
had been active in the search, cried,
"Look out, sahib; some one has been
meddling with that lock!"
They examined the keyhole and
found traces of wax. When they
opened the case the merchant found
everything apparently untouched. Five
boxes of cigars were unopened. ll* had
opened the sixth before he went away
and removed a faw cigars. As he took
this box up be noticed on it the marks
of fingers.
The cigars looked as If thay had not
been disturbed. He was about to take
one when he noticed that somethii?
was wrong with the head. A secoLl
and a third were like the first. In each
a small, almost imperceptible rose
thorn had been inserted, and on it was
a dab .of brown slime still moist the
same color as the cigar.
"Do not touch them, sahib," said the
Indian. "They are poisoned."
The merchant sat down and wrote a
note to the police. In half an hour an
oflicer appeared with Laj under guard.
The merchant stated the case to the
officer and, taking one of the cigars,
tended U t« Laj, with Ui« command,
"Take it and waka U. u
The man turned gray and refused.
His guilt was proved.
An Epicure In Condiment.
It was in the dining room of a coun
try hotel, the Chicago Kecord-Herald
says, and the brisk waitress held a.
glass pitcher above some steaming
buckwheat cakes she had placed before
the guest from town.
"Sir'p?" she asked.
"If you please."
"Will you have it raound and raound
or in a puddle?"
"Beg pardon?"
"Kaound and raound or In a puddle:'
"I—l—in a puddle, I think."
The golden stream began its sticky
descent on the center of the cakes, and
as she poured the waitress Included the
guest and her work in one friendly con
templative glance.
"Some prefers it raound and raonnd,
but I like it best in a puddle myself,"
she said graciously, as she shut off the
stream of sirup with a dexterous turn
of her wrist.
A Nest of Criminal*.
A spot practically unknown to civ
ilization on the shores of the Red sea
at Midi is the home of pirates and
slavers, a regular nest of criminals.
The place Is inhabited almost entirely
by men, for the sheik who holds ab
solute control there allows only the
best of his warriors to marry. It pays
no tribute to the Turkish government,
for it lies (it the end of a long, narrow
harbor Inaccessible to vessels. It seems
probable that it will continue Its ca
reer unchecked.

"Uncle Ephraim, what do you do for

"I preaches an' I raises punk ins,

"Which pays you the better?"
