Capt. Hays for State Treasurer.
On Tuesday we recived • telegram
from Harrisburg from L. C. Lambert, a
member of tbtf Legislature fiom Som
erseet Co. skating that "the friends of
Thomas Hays have announced his name
for State Treasurer."
This we suppose is an outcome of the
difficulties in the Appropriations Com
mittee, of which Capt. Hays was a mem
ber, aud Mr. Plammer of Blair Co.»
Chairman. The committee sat down
hard on Plummer for alleged unfairness
as he bad announced his candidacy
for State Treasurer at the beginning of
the teaaon, they told him they wonld
not support him.
We see no reason why Capt. Hays
could not fill the office as w*ll as any
man the "Bosses" bave ever selected.
IIARRISBUBG.
The Legislature is due to adjourn to
day, and it is on the program to pre
test gifts to the Speakers of the House
r 1 " — J to "JBrntt Cranny.
the Democratic leader of the House.
All the appropriation bills, and a
large number of other bills were dispos
ed of Toeaday., The Greater Pittsburg
billed passed finally, and was sent to
tbe Governor. The Butler Connty
General Hospital was retained on tbe
appropriation bill for $20,000. The
Allegheny county members stood to
gether for their charities and fared
well, tbe Allegheny General Hospital
securing $250,000. Tbe Governor
signed several bills that day. including
• school bill, and one regarding street
viewers.
Tbe gist of all new laws should be
made the subject of a legal advertise
ment.
Capt Hays of this county announced
his candidacy for State Treasurer, Tues
day evening, and be will bave the sup
port of tbe majority of the Appropria
tions Committee over Chairman Plum
mer, on account of Plnmmer's unfair
treatment of tbe committee.
Yesterday was caucus and conference
day between committies appointed by
the two Hooses, over delayed and
amended bills.
Both Houses will adjourn today—the
members, clerks, hotel men and board
iagbouse women will get their money,
and tomorrow it will be Sunday in
Harrisburg.
The Storm.
Butler was bombarded by lightning
and Bowsed with rain, last Monday,
while down in Pittsburg they had a
tremendous hail storm.
Balls of ice SI inches in circumference
fell, shattering tbe glass in the conserv
atories of the town. The loss at the
Phtpps Conservatory is estimated at
SI,OOO, besides the damage to tbe flow
ers.
The telegraph, telephone and street
car service of the two cities was stop
ped for a time; the wind swept over the
sky-scrapers at OQ miles to the hour,
and the total damage is estimated at
SIOO,OOO
Tbe storm extended over the greater
part of the state. At Mahoney City,
Bchnylkill connty it took tbe form of a
Qyclone; and picked up two women,and
dropped them in a field, without seri
ously injuring either.
FORT WORTH, Texas, is the seat of
tbe National Government, this week.
While Teddy is bunting in Oklahoma ;
aud in the meantime "Big Bill" Taft is
holding down the lid in Washington,
and ssems to be enjoying his job.
A Great Meeting.
Judge Buffington of tbe U. S. Dis
trict Court acted as toastinaster, and
Judge Grosscup, of tbe U. S. Circuit
Conrtof Appeals of Illinois: Samuel
Spencer, president of the Southern R
B.; Willis L. King, vice president and
general manager of the Jones & Laagh
lin Steel Co., and F. A. Butterworth,
commercial agent of the C., H D. R.
R. were tbespeakers at a banquet given
by the Traffic Club, at tbe Hotel Hcben
lev, in Pittsburg, last Friday evening.
It wu a great gathering of railroad
men, manufacturers, business men and
jurists, and afforded an opportunity for
an exchange of opinions.
Mr. King criticised the railroad com
panies for not maintaining transporta
tion facilities equal to the demands of
Pittsburg; Judge Grosscnp favors plac
ing the corporations nnder Federal con- (
trol, both for the best interests of the
Stockholders and the public; aud Mr.
Spencer defended the railroads as man
aged today, attacked the Townsend bill
and said that all rebates and all secret
devises for discrimination had practi
cally been ended in this country.
Hays sparos Pliimincr.
Duelling in the Pennsylvania Legion-'
tare has been prevented. Representa
tive Thomas Hays, of Bntler county,
will not fight Chairman J. Lee Plum
mer. of the House Appropriations Com •
inittee, to the death, for the time, at
least, said a special to theJPhiladelphia
North American dated April 7 th.
By expressing contrition for his com
parison of Hays with Judas Iscariot at
the session of Appropriations Committee
yesterday. Chairman Plummer this
morning avoided personal violence at
the hands of the indignant Butler coun
ty man.
Hays by note last night, had given
Plummer twenty-four houre to "apolo
gize or take the concequeiices." The
chairman choee the former alternative,
and the affecting interview between the
two men took place in the retirement of
the speaker's room.
Just what he expected to do to Plum
mer, if the apology were not forthcom
ing, Hays did not like to state for
lication. Some of the members said
they thought "smashing' might be m
his mind. Hays was strong in his de
termination to have some kind of satis
faction. A
After ne had sent his notice to Plum
mer last night, Hays is said to have en
tered a Harrisburg store and asked for
a rubber hat. He explained to the as
tonished merchant that he would like
to see one that would expand, as tnere
was a man it the Legislature whose
head was so swelled at times that he
could not get his hat on, and had to go
bareheaded.
Expectancy of a collision was preva
lent among the members when the
House assembled this morning. Hays
had not been long in his seat when he
was summoned by Representative
McElroy. of McKean county, to the
Speaker's room. There Speaker Wal
ton and Chairman Plummer were await
ing him.
The speaker acte£ as peacemaker, say
ing that differences among the members
of the house were to be regretted, and
that he thought the two ought to shake
hands and be friends.
Plummer voiced his repentance for
having used such a trin as "Judas Is
cariot" toward Hays, and said that he
was feeling badly and ' 'ont of sorts ,
the result of overwork in his official po
sition. when he spoke so hastily.
At that Hays declared his willingness
to become friends with Plummer again,
and there was handshaking. Hays, in
explaining his words of critisism of
the way business had been conducted in
the Appropriations Committee, which
had aroused the chairman s anger, said
that Butler county people had a babit
of speaking out on occasions.
Thus the great fued was ended, and
Plummer had nearly twelve hours of
frace to spare on the time allowance
[ays had given him. When Hays no
tice to Plnmmer was returned to him
last night, in accordance with his de
mand, the sender wrote across the back
of the paper: "He has until 9.45 Friday
night to apologize."
Soon after Hays came from the Speak
er's room Plumuoer made his appear
ance. The chairman walked up the
centre aisle of the House, stopped at
Hays' desk and shook hands again with
his late antagonist in the presence of all
the attentive Legislators. Then every
body knew the threatened fight was
off-
Friends gathered about Hays and
showered their congratulations upon
him when they learned how the difficul
ty had been settled. The dozen or more
who surrounded him proposed him as a
candidate for the Republican nominat
ion for State Treasurer, instead of Plum
mer, who has been slated by the Machine
bosses This impromptu convention in
terfered somewhat with the business of
the House, and representative Clareney
who wan in the chair temporarily, had
to call for order.
Before Plummer left for his home to
day he again insisted that he is popular
saying. . .
"Last night the General Appropriat
ions bill went through finally, without
any critisism or opposition. I take that
as a great compliment".
Thus, it will be seen, Plummer is still
posng as a statesman and a leader,
though his fellow legislators generally
regard him as a mere carrier of orders.
T*rcisTtv{«T_y Minting.
The spring meeting of the Butler
Presbytery of the U. P. church, met in

ed "The Forms," Rev. T. A Houston
of Eau Claire, "General Administra
tion" and Rev. J. M. Dight, "Disci
pline."
Rev. J. O. McConnell of Slipperyrock
was elected the Presbytery's represent

WAR NOTES.
The most exciting war news of late
was that of the passage of the Russian
fleet, under Rojestvensky, through the
straights of Malacca, Saturday. The
fleet consisted of nine cruisers, eight
torpedo boats, sixteen colliers and other
vessels making forty-eight in all: while
the six battleshpis are supposed to have
gone into the China sea by way of the
straits of Sunda.
The first fleet passed within seven
miles of the English port and fortress
of Singapore, was steaming slowly and
passed out of eight by 5 p.m. Yester
day it was reported at anchor at the
Anambas islands.
Rojestvensky is said to have fooled
Togo into sending his torpedo boats to
other points by directing the Russian
Admiralty to order some colliers to ren
dezvois at a point 500 miles south of
Singapore The Japs knew of this and
were there and captured the colliers.
The Russian fleet headed for the
French port of Saigon about <>oo miles
to the north and east; and Admiral
Togo with his main flset was said to be
in the vicinity of the island of I ormosa
about ISOO miles to the north and east,
while his torpedo boats were scattered
all over the southern China sea looking
for the Russians.
Manilla is about 1400 miles northeast
of Singapore, and our Admiral theie
has been instructed to preserve strict
neutrality. He sent out a cruder atd
some torpedo boats to watch the Rus
sian fleet.
If the two fleets come together before
Togo can gather in his scattered toipe
do boats the Russians will have the ad
vantage in numbers, but the Japs in
every other condition. It will be the
greatest naval battle ever fought, aud
the civilized world has its ear to the
ground—so to speak—listening for news
from the China Sea.
Yesterday the Japs were landing a di
vision of 30,000 new troops at Dalnv,
and it was announced from Tokio that
that the Jap government was planning
to have an army of a million in all in
Manchuria this summer, with the three
branches of its army—i nfan try, ariil -
lery and cavalry—all superior to those
of the Russians.
The Jap army due in Kirin, Monday,
had not yet reached that city, owing to
the muddy roads, but they were plod
ding on, the object being to cut com
munication between Harbin and Yladi
vostock.
FOUR HUNDRED people were killed
and wounded in Madrid, last week, by
the bursting of a reservoir.

Dr. A. W. Chase's
Nerve Pills.
The man who hesitates, whose eye is
dull, who 9€ step is slow, whose mind is
sluggish, whose hands tremble, is not
the man whom an employer seeks. It
is the bright man. the man with a clear
eye and brain, the active man. fall of
energy, life and vigor, whose very man
ner and presence breeds success that is
sought for and snapped up as soon as
seen, and it seems almost pitiful that
the first class, victims of excess of some
sort, should exist, when it needs but a
thorough coarse of Dr A. W. Chase's
Nerve Pills to round them into the old
time manly vigor again.
Mr. Fred Hoyt of No 721 Cth Ave..
New Brighton, Pa., says
"I used to have a haud so steady I
coald writ? the Lord';? prayer on a twen
five cent piece—then as a result of
overwork and overstrain my eyes gave
out, my hands and nerves generally be
came trembly. I was restless and conld
not sleep. I certainly was in bad shape
and lost my ability to write —could just
scrawl. 1 heard of Dr. A. W. Chase s
Nerve Pills and got some and they took
hold immediately. I began to "leep
gain strength—my nerves grew steady
and my eyesight improved greatly. To
day I feel finely and can again write as
well as ever, and that means a very
steady nerve.

Half Price Sale of
CLOTHING.
Our Half Price Sale marks a sort of division between winter
and spring. Of course, there will be a steady demand for
certain of the staid and staple lines In heavy-weights
till April, and this demand we shall meet. But
the Half Price Sale is practically the roundup
of the fall and winter season—ln this In
stance a season that has vastly exceeded
all former ones In volume of business.
We're determined to close out all
winter goods so as to make room
for our SPRING line.
