POLITICAL.
The political situation in Missouri is
unchanged and it is rumored that Mr.
Niedringbaus will ultimately withdraw
if he sees no hope of breaking the dead
lock. In Delaware, J. Edward Addicks
is said to have drained his pocketbook,
and the members of the legislature will
hardly send a poor man to the senate
when they can secure campaign funds
from* a rich man. The DuPont family,
of powder fame, are reported to be
richer than Addicks ever was, and now
negotiations have been opened with
them. Last week it seemed to be a
question whether T. Coleman DnPont
or his uncle, Henry A. DuPont, would
win the prize.
D. W. Herbert of the Pittsburg Times,
writing from Harrisburg. last week,
said that "Political conditions in Penn
sylvania are so nervous just now that
the party managers take fright at
shadows. An ordinary rumor which in
other days would not have created a
ripple, throws the managers into a
season of cold preßpiration, and the big
gest of the big political bosses now
fancy they see things even while they
Bleep. The conditions in Pittsburg and
Allegheny couuty are not the only
troubles now confronting the bosses.
Here in Harrisburg the friends and ad
vocates of United States Senator Boies
Penrose were caught in the act of help
ing the Democratic candidate for mayor
of Harrisburg Even the State machine
was unable to pull the Democrat
through, and real trouble in a political
way seems imminent. Had the ma
chine Republicans been able to make
the Democratic candidate for mayor
win his fight all trouble would have
been avoided, but a regular Republican
who did not have the support of the
local machinists was elected mayor and
the followers of Penrose are being ask
ed to explain.
Washington JS otcs.
On Thursday last President Roosevelt
issued a proclamation convening the U.
S. Senate in extra session for March 4th,
next, to receive such communications
as may be made by the executive.
The significance of this call IB that the
President will have executive business
for the Senate, which can hardly be
anything else than new cabinet appoint
ments. That Cortelyou will go to the
Postoffice Department and Wynne to
London has been understood for some
time. Attorney General Moody has
made no secret of his intention to re
tire, and rumors are heard that Secre
tary Morton will go at the same tirae.
The railroad rate or rebate bill now
pigeon-holded in the Senate, will flie
with this Congress.
By a vote of 33 to 49 the Senate, Mon
day, refused to convict Judge Swayne
of the charges made against him. It
requires a two-thirds vote to convict,
and 55 were necessary. The Republi
cans voted for acquittal and the Demo
crats for conviction.
Next Saturday is Inauguration Day
at Washington, and the ceremonies
promise to be unusually elaborate as
there are to be many civil as well as
military organizations in the parade.
From Porto Rico the war department
will bring a detachment of soldiers,
there will be representatives of the
Filipinos and Rough Riders from the
west.
The Senate Tuesday, passed the In
dian appropriation bill, and Senator
Kearns of Utah, whose term expires
this week, stated in a speech that the
Mormons have absolute control of the
politics and business of that state.
James R. Garfield, head of the bureau
of corjiorations, has completed his re
port of the investigation of the beef
trust, which he has been conducting for
more than a year, and it will prob
ably be made public to-day. It has
, bean submitted to the president and
will be sent to congress and given to the
press as soon as it is read by the presi
dent. The report will clearly show the
packers in the combination have enjoyed
rebates and other secret advantages
over their smaller rivals. Specific in
stances of the giving of these rebates
are given. The Santa Fe railroad, of
which Paul Morton, the secretary of
the navy, was so long vice president
and traffic chief, is not included in the
list of railroads giving rebates to the
packers' combination.
THE California Commission to the St.
Louis Exposition returned to the ESTATE
$6,000 unexpended of the $130,000 ap- :
• propriation made by the Legislature for ,
State advertising purposes. Practical
ly all the exhibit has been sent to the
Portland fair, which is to open next
Hay. |
HARRISBURG.
On Monday the Senate passed, final
ly, a bill providing that the district at
torney in all counties where population
does not exceed 150,000 shall be paid a
salary, which salary shall be in lien of
all fees and in full compensation for hia
services: providing for the appointment
of assistant district attorneys and pro
viding that the fees heretofore allowed
the district attorneys upon indictments
shall remain in amount as heretofore,
but shall hereafter be as part of the
costs for the use and benefit of the
proper county.
On Thursday last the Goehring re
traction-bill passed the Senate by a vote
of 31 to 2: and in the House, that day
the following bills passed finally. In
creasing the salaries of the clerks of the
jndges of the superior court from S7OO
to $1,500 annually. Raising from 16 to
18 years the age limit at which pupils
shall be graduated from the Soldiers'
Orphans' school.
WAR NOTES.
On Thursday last it was announced
that the Russian government had decid
ed to reject all advice and overtures re
garding ending the war.
Saturday morning the attack made
by the Jap centre on Bernseneff hill de
veloped into a desperate battle; the Japs
were, at first, repulsed, but finally carri
ed the hill with the bayonet, though
at great loss of life.
The decision of the North Sea Court
at.Paris, last Saturday, sustains the
statement of facts as presented by Great
Britian, but it lets the Russian Admir
al down easy.
"The commissioners, the decision'
says recognize unanimously that the
fishing fleet committed no hostile act,
and the majority of the commissioners,
being of the opinion that there were not,
neither among the fishing boats or in
their vicinity any torpedo boats, the
opening of fire by Admiral Rojestven
sky was not justified."
"In any event," tho decision contin
ues, "the commissioners are glad to rec
ognize unanimously that Admiral Rc
jestvensky personally did all he could,
from the commencement to the end, to
prevent the trawlers from being the ob
ject of fire by the Russian squadron."
Concerning the squadron's proceeding
without assisting the damaged trawlers
the decision says
"The commissioners are unanimons
that under the circumstances proceed
ing and following the incident, there
was such uncertainty concerning the
danger to the squadron as to warrant
Admiral Rojestvensky in continuing
his route. However, the majority re
grets that the admiral did not inform
the neighboring maritime powers of
what had occurred."
The decision concludes as follows:
"The commissioners declare that
their views, as formulated, are not of a
nature to cast any disrespect upon the
military valor nor upon the sentiments
of humanity of Admiral Rojestvensky
and the personnel of his squadron."
The closing session of the commission
presented a brilliant scene. The spa
cious salon of the foreign office was
crowded with members of the diplomat
ic corps, officers of the army and navy
and judges of the highest French courts.
Admiral Fonrnier, president of the com
■ mission, read the decision and closed
the commission with a speech of thanks
to its members.
On Monday the Japs were reported to
be shelling Mukden with their lonz
range guns, also to be attempting to
turn both the Russian flanks, and a
general engagement was considered im
minent.
Yesterday there was fighting all along
the lines of the two great armies iD
Manchuria. Kuroki was reported as
having turned the Russian left and as
threatening Mukden, while the Russians
were reported as having the best of it
at the centre and Jap left. If the lines
of the two armies are as extensive as
thwy appear on the maps they are now
over eighty miles long.
Gen. Strossel reached Moscow, Friday
and was "lionized." The difficulty
which Russia is experiencing from in
adequacy of transportation facilities to
Manchuria is illustrated by the fact
that the Fortieth rifle brigade, which
left Odessa two months ago, has just
reached Omsk, about 3,000 miles west
of Harbin. It is estimated that the brig
ades mobilized last year will not
reach Manchuria until April.
Terror reigned in Baku and other oil
towns of the Caucasus region of Russia
last week; the stores were closed and
the banks were doing business under
guard.
A refugee from Batouin said the
authorities there were powerless, aud
that the strikers numbered forty-thous
and. In the whole region between the
Black and Caspian seas lawlessness,
murder and rapine prevailed, the Ar
menians and Musselmans weaking their
private ven games.
At Warsaw, the authorities were
agitated and did not know what to do,
the Vienna railroad was at a stand still,
and the city was threatened with a coal
famine. On Saturday the first train
from Vienna arrived in three days.
Maxim Gorky, the Russian novelist
will be sent to Siberia.
SOME of the newspaper correspond
ents are criticizing the present House of
Representatives at nariisburg for not
doing more, it having passed but two
trifling bills during two months.
But doing nothing is better than doing
wrong, and it should be remembered
that it is on the homestretch at Harris
burg that "snakes wriggle and jobs
flourish." There are some things, how
ever, that should be done—our game
laws should be changed, and so should
our road laws. Why wouldn't a com
bination of the present state-aid road
law and the Flinn road law make
things move?
The Local Option Meeting.
Judge Gal breath presided at the local
option meeting in the U. P. church,
Monday evening, and he, W. D. Bran
don, Prof. Gibson, J. D. Marshall, Rev.
Robinson and others made remarks
favoring the Berry local option bill.
It was voted and carried that the
Chairman select a committee of five for
each ward to circulate the petitions in
favor of the Berry or a general local
option law, which carried in this coun
ty, fifteen years ago by 2,400 majority.
The following resolutions were
adopted:
Resolved. That we, the citizens of
Butler, Butler county, Pennsylvania,
in mass meeting assembled, and having
before us the fact that a bill known as
the Berry local option bill is now pend
ing in our legislature, do express our
unqualified approval of the principle of
law involved in such legislation, inas
much as it gives to the electors of each
locality the power to decide the quee
tion as to the granting of licenses for |
the sale of intoxicating beveiages with
in their respective districts.
Resolved, That we earnestly request
our representatives in thr> general as
sembly to use all honorable means to
iecure the passage of said bill or any
limilar legislation.
Municipal Politics.
The new Town Council which will or
ganize next Tuesday evening, March 7,
will elect a City Clerk, City Solicitor.
Surveyor, Treasmer, Street Commis
, sioner. Sewer Inspector and Chief of
Police. All those who are at present
holding these offices are applicants for
re-election, and as the new Council
stands ten Republicans to five Demo
crats, a large number of Republicans
; have suddenly become ambitions to
serve the borough for a small remuner
ation.
Hunter Conlter believes he can again
become Clerk and Solicitor, positions he
has held for a decade past, but James
B. Mates, W. C. Findley, Charles H.
Miller and others are applicants for the
double job. There is said to be a dispo
sition among Councilmen to separate
the jobs, and friends of A. T. Black, A.
M. Christley, J. M. Painter and others
are mentioning them for Solicitor. The
Solicitorsbip pays S4OO a year and the
Clerkship S6OO
Street Commissioner is worth $65 a
month and Councilman Edward Lantz,
present Commissioner George Noulett.
Jacob Rieger. James Huselton, Henry
Wagner. Chris Hinchberger. W. P.
Brown and others are applicants.
Chief of Police Schultz is a candidate
for re-election and Policeman Edward
Hoover is ambitions for the honor, 'l he
Chief receives $lO per month more than
the other policemen.
For City Surveyor, the best of the
Conncilmanic gifts, Fred M. Harper,
present incumbent, and C. F. L. Mc-
Quistion are candidates.
For Sewer Inspector Harry Grieb,
who has held the office several years,
Wm. H. Craig and others are applicants
It pays $2.50 for each day employed.
W. F. Rumberger is a candidate to
succeeded himself as Treasurer, which
pays a commission of one per cent, but
it is said local banks offer to perform
the duties of the office free of charge,
for the sake of the business, and as this
would save from S6OO to $!>00 a year
some Councilmen favor trying this
plan.
THE Fifty-eighth Congress will ex
pire with this week, and though the
session of this winter has been an inter
esting one, but little was accomplished.
The session will be principally remem
bered for the negative stand taken by
the Senate. The 59th Congress will
not meet till December next. The
President has called the ''Grand Dn
kery" into extra session for Saturday,
presnmably to consider the San. Do'
mingo treaty, and some changes in the
Cabinet.
Election .Notes.
Every year some little things happen
at the elections that puzzle the Boards.
At the election in one of the precincts
of the sth ward, Butler, this year, a
man came in to vote a few moments be
fore 7 p m.; he was not registered, and
pending the preparation of his oath the
clock struck 7 and the polls closed, tie
intended voting for Patterson, and his
vote would have tied Patterson with
Meehling. Should the vote have been
taken?
In Clinton twp. sixty seven ballots
were cast, on Tuesday oi last week,
forty-six of which were cast aside by
the Board, because the 46 voters had
pasted a sticker over the name of Brew
er. This left but 21 legal votes; and
one man who received two-thirds of the
vote cast for School Director was de
feated. Stickers must be pasted in the
blanks, but it does juet as well to write
the name.
The question here is whether or not
a whole ballot should be rejected on ac
count of one mistake. It don't look re
reasonable.
At Mars the election board counted
some irregular votes, with the result
that more votes were counted for some
offices than there are voters in the
town.
CIIL'RCII NOTES.
Oyster supper in basement of the M.
E. church, this evening—Jennie Miller
Circle. Supper 25 cents.
Dr. Talmage and Mr. Beecher had
correct ideas about a discnorse from the
pulpit. The first requisite was that it
be made interesting—that the listeners
attention be secured and retained.
Then he or she could be instructed and
the doctrines of religion could injected
into the heart. But to attempt to
preach Christianity to a man or woman
when he or she is indiffereut to what ip
bring said is as ineffectual af pouring
water on a goose's back. All people
who sing flat are not serving God. A
good choir arouses enthusiasm; that be
gets interest, and the latter commands
attention the sermon—if it have gray
matter injected into it.
Lent this year commence" late, for
Ash Wednesday falls upon March 8.
This brings Easter Sunday on the 23d
of April. The latest possible date that
Easter may fall on is April 25, and it is
only at long periods that Easter falls
as late as that.
The good old prayer, "Now I Lay Me."
dear to the hearts of childhood, has been
tabooed by the Westside Women's Coun
cil of Chicago, who hold that it is de
pressing. They take special umbrage
at the line "If I should die before I
wake."
Mrs. Edgar A. Hall, president of the
council, said: "The idea of dying in the
night is horrible, and I use it."
She submitted this substitute:
Father' we thank the for the night,
And for the pleasant morning light;
For rest, and food, and loving care,
And all that makes the world so fair.
The council sighed with content when
these lines were read. "They are so
restful and tranquilizing," said the
members.
ACCIDENTS.
E. W. Randall, a Bessemer trainman,
riding on the caboose, was thrown upou
the stove, by a collision at Mcßride,
last week, and so badly bruised that he
had to be taken to the Hospital.
Leonard Frederick fell, in front of
the old P. O. building, Saturday even
ing, striking his head and making him
unconscious for a time.
Leo Grove, B. & O. section man, was
hit by a fast train at the overhead
bridge, Monday, and escaped with a
gash in his head.
W. F. Marshall of the 2d ward was
the victim of another accident at the
Car Works, Monday, and had a wrist
badly cut.
Miss Emi Jack did not slip on the ice,
but she tripped on the stairs and fell to
the floor below, where her head struck
some irou and was badly cut.
The interior ot the notion store of A.
R. Rodgers of Grove City was badly
wrecked and most of it" contents weru
destroyed by a gas explosiou, Monday
night. The flash penetrated to every
part of the room, consuming everything
inflammable, and then smothered out
before the fire department conld reach
the scene. The damage to the stock
was about $2,000, with SI,BOO insurance,
and to the building about SSOO, fully in
sured.
Wm. Shaffer was badly squeezed be
teen a moving car and a pillar, at the
Car Works, yesterday, and was taken
to the Hospital.
L. D. Shauor had a bad fall at a well
□ear Harmony, Tuesday, and was cut
about the head, but is recovering.

Gas Pre«snre—By rook preassure is
meant the natural pressure of the well.
The capacity of a gas well is determined
in a variety of ways, but the most com
mon is by means of a linage An ordi
nary strain guage is generally employed.
The minute presnre is taken and from
it is calculated the flow of the well.
The gate should be closed very quickly
when the preasnre is taken. This is
multiplied by .07 and then by the cubic
feet the tubing contains. This will
give the number of cubic feet per min
ute.
A foot of 3 inch tubing contains .0491
cubic feet. Hence 2,100 feet will con
tain 103.11 cubic feet of natural gas. If
a minute pressure by the guage show
ed 200 pounds, this multiplied by .07
gives 15 and 14 times 103.11 would pive
1,443 54 cubic feet per minute. Multi
ply this by 60 and 24 and yon have the
capacity of the well for a day.

A precious one from us has gone,
A voice we loved is stilled,
A place is vacant in our hearts.
Which never can be filled.
Another pilgrim safe a* home.
In mansions in the skies;
Auother earthly home made sad,
By severed family ties.
Away from those who loved her well,
To Him who loves her more;
And now she dwells in safety,
On yonder shining shore.
We would not call her back,
Away from peace and rest;
We humbly say, "Thy Will be done,"
Dear Lord, "Thou knowest best."
And though in darkness we await,
The light of eventide.
Heaven we know will brighter be,
For our precious one who died.
God in His wisdow has removed,
The boon His love had given;
And though the body slumbers here ■ i
The soul is safe in Heaven. 8. •
