Durham recognized Eddie Biglow ai the political bow of Alle gheny Co., and the Greater Pittsburg bill was ordered passed, without amend ment. On Friday, Gov. P. vetoed a bill for the alleged prevention of idiocy, for the following reasons: "This bill has what may be called with propriety an attract ive title. If idiocy could be prevented by an act of Assembly we may be quite •on that inch laws would have long been passed and approved in this State, and that such laws would have been en acted In all civilized countries. The subject of the act is not the prevention of idiocy, but it is to provide that in every institution in the State entrusted with the care of idiots and imbecile children, a neurologist, a surgeon and a physician shall be authorized to per form an operation upon the inmates 'lor the prevention of procreation'" and the Gov. decided that the title of the bill was imperfect. This ii the last week of this session far "doings" at Harrisbarg, and the ap propriation bills, the Greater Pittsburg bill and several other bills are schedul ed for passage, while the Local Option bill, the Capitol Park and several hun dred other bills will die in committee. The Philadelphia leadership is de termined that the bill emasculating the power of the Mayor of that city and putting all power in the hands of Councils shall pass, because they feel more sure of always controlling the Councils: and they also want to pass the Judges retirement bill, so as to make room for some of their pets, but both bills will be fonght by the country members, Gov. Pennypacker has been writing •ome very sensible veto messages, late ly, and it is tb be hoped he will write some more of them regarding the mass of stuff that will be dumped upon him a by the end of the week. On Tuesday, Gov. P. vetoed two more bills for want of care in their pre paration. The Cook Greater Pittsburg bill passed the House, finally, that morning, and was sent to the Senate, where it was scheduled to pass, finally, this morning. Washington JSotes. According to President Roosevelt's plan Secretary Taft announced the ap pointment of the members of the new Isthmian Canal Commission, Monday, and at the same time made public the instructions prepared for them by the President. The recorganized commission is com posed of Theodore P. Shouts, chairman, salary, $80,000; Charles E. Magoon, Governor of the canal zone, salary, $17,500; J. F. Wallace, chief engineer, • ilary, $2.5,000; Rear Admiral Mordecai F. Endicott. chief of the navy bureau of yards and docks; Brigadier General Peter F. Rains, U. S. A ; Colonel O. M Ernst, U. S. A., and Benjamin F. Har rod. New Orleans each at a salary of 97,600. Shonts, Magoon snd Wallace are to do all the work. They are to have their headquarters on the isthmus, and Ma goon and Wallace are to live there. The other members of the commission are merely make-weights in the new plan. The division of the work between Chairman Shonts, Chief Engineer Wal lace and Governor Magoon is so distinct, it is believed, there oan be no friction. The chief engineer has charge of every thing on the isthmus pertaining to the construction. Sbonts has charge of the business end of the organization, includ ing the management of the Panama railroad. Governor Magoon will be what his title signifies. In time, it is the understanding, he will also become Minister to Panama. PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT lately de manded the resignations of all the mem bers of the Isthmian Canal Board or Commission, and on Monday appointed • new Commission headed by T. P Shontz. an Ohio railroad man, and na ttvt of Crawford county, this state. Then he started on his western trip, passing through Pittsburg that night; Will attend a Rough Rider reunion in Texas, and then go hunting in the mountains. Secretary Taft is running the White House during the President's ftbeence. WAR NOTES. Kirin, the city of Northern Man churia. for which the Jap army is head ing at present, is a large town, located in a beautiful and fertile valley, and is at the head of navigation of the Sun | guri river. It has a population of about 120,000, and is headquarters for the tobacco trade of that section—the ' Manchu leaf" being a great favorite in China. Before the building of the Russian rail roads it had a population of 300.000. The Jap army is dne there next Mon day, but a late fall of snow, which mud died the roads, may interfere with Marshal Oyama's calculations. The Russian army, said to consist of from 200,000 to 300.000 men is said to be entrenching itself at Gunshu Pass, but the Jap army seems to be passing to the east of it, and be heading for Kirin and the railroad from Harbin to Vladivos tock without paving any attention to it, and the European residents of the large towns are fleeing, as nobody seems to believe that the Russian army can make a successful stand against the Japs. In Financial Circles Russia is con sidered beaten and helpless and can borrow no mote money: though they of fered 5 per cent; while the Jap loan was doubly Subscribed for in this county and in England at 4| per cent. Disturbances continue in Russia, the latest being among the peasantry, and the government is harassed by peace and war factions. It is not probable that any reasonable overtures for peace will be made, and in the meantime the Japs will take Vladivostock, and Rus sia will De shut out of the eastern sea. A curious feature of the situation is the activity of the Chinese government in increasing its army and navy. That government is as autocratic and rotten as the Russian, if not more so, and the wonderful success of the Japs may re sult in changes there as well as in Russia. On Tuesday it was stated that the Russian squadron lately at Madagascar had sailed for Vladivostock on March 19th, but the route taken was net made public. If it goes by way of straits of Sunda or around Australia, it may escape Togo, and reach its destination, and then there will be a blockade and siege similar to the Port Arthur affair. Emperor William of Germany talked out loud at Tangiers, Morocco, the other day, and now Russia is haping for a mix-up in Western Europe, but it is not likely that France and Germany will war over so small a potato. DURING President Roosevelt's hunt ing trip in the mountains he will be ac companied by two experts in wireless telegraphy, who will keep bim in con stant communication with a station to be established at Glenwood. If Teddy shoots a bear we will know it next day. JUDGE DUNNE of Chicago is a Demo' crat and also the "happy father of thirteen children." The people of that city added to his happiness, Tuesday, by electing him Mayor over his Repub lican competitor by a plurality of 24,248; and at the same time committed him and themselves to the municipal ownership of all the street railways, the franchises for which have expired. "Pop" Anson, the old base-ball player, was Judge Dunne's light-hand man during the campaign. THE scandal that cropped out in li cense court in New Castle last week proved the wisdom of the people in re tiring our political judges. There were four of them in this section, fTiree oF whom have been retired, while the fourth saw the handwriting on the wall, and was not a candidate for re-election. The testimony that some $25,000 was paid to John C. Wallace, in one case, in recognition of his relationship to the former Judge necessitates the following up of the case to complete proof or dis proof, and infliction of the severest pun ishment possible if the facts are as stated The assertions in thia case will be used by some in favor of the proposed change of the grant of licenses from the courts to license commissioners. If such a thing is possible in connection with the dignity and standing of the ju dicial position what might not be the result if the opportunity to enlarge it were left with a commission,presumably t> be fiHed by politicians ? A New Castle (Sensation. In License Court at New Castle, last Friday, Chris Kahrer, one of the appli cants stated that during the ten years which he had held a license under Judge Wallace's term on the bench he had given his brother, John C. Wallace, in the neighborhood of $25,000. In April, about ten years ago, Mr Kahrer testified, he was called to the store of John C Wallace, where he was given a paper to sign. It made Mr. Wallace joint partner in the business to share in the profits of the place with out his putting one cent into the busi ness, he said. After considering the proposition for some little time Mr. Kahrer stated be took the paper home with him. Later on he signed it and returned it to Mr. Wallace, who retain ed it until alter the defeat of his broth er for re-election, when he turned it over to Mr. Kahrer for the considera tion of #4.200, which again made Mr. Kahrer sole owner of his own place of business, he testified. During the ten years which followed the signing of the paper the applicant stated that Mr. Wallace made monthly visits to his place and examined the books and after satisfying himself as to the amount of the profits for the month would draw a check for one-half of the amount which Mr. Kahrer would sign. Mr. Kahrer gave as a reason for his action that it was necessary in order to get a license. Some of the checks were and examined by the witness, who said they were the ones for Mr. Wallace's share of the profits from his place of business. The partnership was not dissolved an til after Judge Wallace's defeat last fall. The disclosure of this piece of work is largely due to Judge Porter, who was conducting license court. After license court opened over a week ago Judge Porter had been closely questioning the old applicants as to their methods of doing business. From the nature of the questions asked it was at once seen that he was trying to show how affairs were run while W. I). Wallace was Judge, and it was hinted that some startling information mixht be secured. When Mr. Kahrer's case was called several days ago he was asked by Judge Porter as to how he paid his bills. He answered by check. This gave the court an opening and he asked if the witness had his checks. He stated that be had, and for the time being the mat ter was dropped. After his examina tion Judge Porter asked Mr. Kahrer if be would bring the checks into court He also asked for his bank book. These were handed to Judge Porter a few days ago by Mr. Kahrer's attorney, C. H Akens. Every applicant after that day who held a license daring Judge Wallace's t«mn on the bench was questioned along the same lines as Mr. K-ihrer, but none could be found who had saved their checks. Judge Porter felt that if this method , was practiced on one saloon-keeper there was nothing to prevent it being practiced on others, but all denied that there was any other person interested but themselves or had been. Checks were then asked for, but it happened that they had ail been destroyed. ACCJLUENTS. Mrs. Michael Myers of Karris City fell on the sidewalk last week, and hnrt herself badly. Mrs. Berry,of Middlesex *p who is in her Soth year, fell backwards, down stairs a few days ago. seriously injuring herself. She was getting ready to visit Mrs. Trimble. who is also striously ill, at the time. Mrs. Beery is the widow of Aaron Beery, and mother of John Tnrner. Geo, Sherman, fell upon the sidewalk of W. Cunningham St., Saturday eve. was so seriously injured that he was taken to the hospital. One of the twin laughter r of Chas. Corbett of Allegheny twp was fatally burned while playing around the din ing room-fire, last Sunday. Robt Liggins of Cleveland 6t. jump ed off a street car on Mercer St. white it was going, last night, and fell on his head and was badly cut. An ambu lance was sent for and he was taken to the hospital. Geo. Todd cf near Sarversville was badly bruised and had a foot sprained by a run-off and upset, a few days ago. Mrs. Edward Shaw of Brown Ave. had an arm broken by a fall over a wheel barrow. Henry Shira and his son Clyde of Washington twp.. Friday, were serious ly injured at the King oil well fire, last Friday afternoon. They attempted to save a heavy band wheel by rolling it away from the burning derrick, but it got away from them and rolled back over them crushing Mr. Shira, and breaking his son's leg. Ira Shoaf, a boy employed by a New Castle firm to carrv a street sign in the shape of a duck, was overcome by smoke and flames and had a close call, last Wednesday. The boy met William Braden, from whom he secured a match. Braden passed on, but chanced to look back and saw the duck sign waver and fall. Hurrying back, Braden found the boy within the sign had been overcome by smcke. It seems he had a cigarette and must have set fire to the fabric of the duck in lighting the cigarette. The Commissioners of Lawrence Co. have offered a reward for the arrest of the murderers of Frederick Zeigler, of Nile*, O , who was found dead along the Lake Erie tracks at Wampam. He had evidently been murdered for rob bery and his body placed ou the railroad to conceal the crime. I. L. Mcßride was cut on the head by a hook, at a well oa the Petersville dis drict Thomas Diver, who lost an arm in an accident at the Hamilton bottle works some time ago, is able to be out, after a remarkably short stay at the hospital for the kind of an injury sustained. Mr. Diver's arm had been torn out by a pul ley-at the factory, but so rapid was his recovery from the accident and its ef fects that he was only at the hospital four weeks, a much less time than is usual for the treatment of victim# of such an accident. Because he wanted to see "a real train wreck" Royal Grimm, 12 years old, son of a well-known resident of Groveton, near Coraopolis, derailed the Cleve land flyer by placing iron bars and coupling pins on the Pittsburg and Lake Erie tracks near his home last Friday. The train bearing scores of passengers, on striking the obstruction jumped the rails and after traveling about 100 yds. over the railroad ties along a dangerous portion of the road overlooking a steep embankment, came to a sudden stop by the severing of the air hose. The boy who treated the affair as an excellent joke and appeared disappoint ed as a result of his train wrecking ex periences, was placed in jail on a charge of being incorrigible. Winfield Dean, a farmer of Venango County had a very trying experience on Weddesday afternoon of last week. Mr. Dean was in the woods getting oat some logs In moving a large stick his team made a sudden an.i unsuspected jerk, causing the log to roll over Mr Dean's left leg It bore the man down and broke both bones in two places be tween the knee and the ankle. Mr. Dean was alone and beyond calling dis tance from bis home and at once real ized that he mn«t net for himself In some manner, He knows scarcely how, he rolled the log off bis leg. He then unhooked one of the horses, got astride of the animal and rode it to his home. A Golden Wedding. Last Saturday, April Ist, the 50 anni versary of the marriage of Rev R Smith and wife was celebrated at their home in Bntler. Rey. Smith is a retir ed Lutheran minister and makes his home with his son, Otis, an inspector at the car works. Rev. Smith was born in Centre county, Pa., in 1829, and was a very successful minister until recent ly on account of advanced years he re tired, his last charge being at Rossville, York county. Mr Smith was married on April Ist, 1855 to Miss Julia Stansbury of Mas silon, Ohio, who has a help to him in all his church work. They have six children living, eight grandchildren and three great grandchildren. The house was tastily decorated with cut flowers and festoons —white and gold being the prevailing colors Daring the day a family reunion was held and in the evening a number of the Bntler friends of the aged couple met at the home. After prayer, several congratulatory speeches were made, in eluding one by Rev. J. C. Nicholas, who on behalf of the members of Grace Lutheran church presented the bride and groom with a purse -consisting mostly of gold coins, to which Rev Smith made a touching response. They were also the recipients of other pres ents and letters of congratulation from friends at a distance. The evening was spent in pleasant intercourse, and all left for their homes with congratula tions and best wishes to the couple. Mr Smith is the last of a family of ten brothers and sisters. Among those present from out of town were Mary A., Wm. L. and W. T. of Oonnellsville: Mrs M J. Sletterv of Elmsworth, and 11. H. Smith of Wash ington, D.

Some lives were lost and some property damaged. The Knrly l'»« of Skiiln. Holland is said to be the liftme and birthplace of skating, and without doubt skating was first practiced there and in the far north. In a country of lakes and canals the necessity of walk ing i'.ud running on ice must have bean felt from the earliest day». In Hol land tlie.v show the bone skates which were found in one of the mounds of which a Frlesland village was built The skates were fastened to the faot by straps passed through holes which were made In the bones. A Danish historian mentions the sport In 1134. The bone skates were also first used in England. A writer In tils account of the amusements of the young people of London In the twelfth century men tions the fact that It was usual for them to fasten the leg bones of ani mals under the soles of their fuat by tying them around their ankles; then, taking a pole shod with Iron, tLiuy pusli ed themselves forward with great ra pidity by striking this pole Into the Ice. Aunt Cbloe nod th« Dinner. Mrs. McJarvLs had Invited a num ber of friends to dinner, but the cook left her on the morning of the appoint ed day without a moment's notice, says the Chicago Tribune. In this emergency she hunted up an old friend of the family, Aunt Chloe, wife of Uncle Ephralm, and asked her to take the cook's place. "I'll cook de dlnnah, missis," said Aunt Chloe, "If you'll give me wot's left." Mrs. McJarvls agreed, and within a few hours the dinner waa woll under way. Later In the day. sha Tl<ee used. Its use will more thor oughly compact the soil grains, and moisture will rise more rapidly through a reasonably compacted soil than It will through a more open one. When a roller Is so used care should be Taken not to allow the drying to go too far, for In such a ease the surface may be come overdry and even cloddy. At the proper time some stirring tool should be used. The use of the roller for this purpose should be exercised with much care. Second.—The disk harrow may be used. The use of the disk harrow will bring the more moist layers of soil to the Burface and thus exposo them to the action of the sun and wind. A PROMISING STRAWBERRY. Handsome, Excellent la Quality and Likely to Command a Fancy Price. This very large strawberry (E. H. Ekey), photographed at the Ohio exper iment station, is described as long, con ical, pointed, and slightly necked, color THE EXE?. a rich, bright'crimson when fully ripe, very attractive. The tlesli is red throughout, quite lirm und of excellent quality; plants moderately vigorous and quite healthy; Uowors perfect; first blossoms, May 15; first ripo fruit, June 13; last picking, July 15. With the exception of the Ohellle, the Ekey was one of the uiost bcautt/nl berries grown at the station last sea son. The great size of tho unusually long, polntod berries, together with their bright, rich color, made them equally conspicuous on the fruiting row and in the basket While this va riety does not promise to be ns produc tive as might be desired so far as the number of quarts are concerned. It certainly does promise, In the opinion of tho station horticulturist, to be a sat isfactory ylelder of dollars and cents. Judging from the pnst season, its great size and beauty will cause it to command a fancy price among appreci ative buyers. Hen Manare Very Rich. nen manure and poultry manure In I general aro vory rich In fertilizing con stituents, especially nitrogen, due to the fact tliat, In uddition to the undl gested residue of the food It contains, the urinary secretions, in which are large amounts of nitrogen as well as potash in readily available form, are voided with the solid cixcroineut In this class of animals. The analyses f.-hlch have been made show that hen manure is very variable in composition, depending upon the stage of growth of the fowl, the character of the feed and the care taken of the manure. The nitrogen has been found to vary from about .7 to 2 per cent, the phosphoric acid from .8 to 2 per cont and the pot ash from .25 to .9 per cent. This shows that snch manure, If properly carod for. Is much richer than that of other farm animals. CLEANSING CATARRH AND HGAI.INU CURE FOR CATARRH lllgl Ely's Cream Balm Eo«y and pleamnt to 'Y ÜB-.
