POLITIC AI v.
The oddest political rumor, of late,
comes from Washington. Senator
Knox is to take a hand int'ue politics of
the state; he and H. C. Frick of Pitts
burg are to work together, and Frick is
to succeed Penrose as U. S. Senator.
Mayor Weaver of Philadelphia is con
tinuing his war on Penrose and Dnr
ham in that city, and one by one the:r
adherents are being removed from of
fice. Senator Penrose is said to have
abandoned his plan to nominate Penny
picker for Supreme Judge for fear the
Philadelphia trouble will 6pread over
the state, and to be now looking for a
country candidate, who has not been
defeated. Judge John Stewart of
Franklin is said to have been approach
ed in the matter.
The Pennsylvania Legislature is com
posed of 50 Senators and 204 Represen
tatives, elected by the whole people,
and presumed to represent them and
them alone. Such a body, theoretically
speaking, is the flower and crown of
popular institutions. The people in
mass, assembled at the polls, delegate
their inherent powers of selfgovernment
to a select few who meet to enact their
views into laws, and the Pittsburg
Times asks the pointed question.
When did such a Legislature assemble
in Pennsylvania?
On Saturday last the Democracy of
Butler county nominated W. M. Kenne
dy for Sheriff over J L. Burton by a
vote of 1706 to 934. The vote on Coun
ty Commissioner was very close, W. H.
Grabe 1229; G. F. Easley 1123, J. A.
Eichert 1110 and Blair Hooks S39—nom
nating Grabe and Easley, the latter
over Eichert by but 13 votes.
W. A. Lowry for Prothonotary, C. C.
Johnston for Treasurer, and W. B. Cur
rie for Register and Recorder had no
opposition. R. A. White and G. N.
Wilsou are the nominees for Auditors,
and N. A. Dombart for Coroner.
At the convention, Monday, Ed. Mc-
Shane was elected Chairman. The nert
primary was fixed for March 24, 190(5.
Honors are even in this county, this
year, regarding the old soldiers. Each
party nominated one.
In our election table, last week, part
of the vote of Clinton twp. was mis
placed. S. C. Moore of that township
had 94 votes in his own township, bnt
the figures dropped down into the Con
noqnenessing North column.
Dr. Samuel G. Dixon of Ardmore,
Montgomery county, was appointed
commissioner of the state department of
health, Tuesday, by Gov. Pennypacker.
THE machinery of the Expo, at Port
land, Oregon, was started last Thurs
day, by a wire run into the White
House. President Roosevelt pressed
the key of the instrument at 4:22 p. m.
onr time or 1:22 p. m., theirs, and ex
changed greetings with President Goode
of the Lewis and Clarke Centennial Ex
position.
"TOKIO is always for peace" said the
Japanese Minister at Washington, "but
Russia must realize the present situa
tion in all its seriousness, and be pre
pared to face it." That is a big "but,"
however, as the Czar is prohibiting
political meetings and suppressing all
agitation, and the nation is rushing
headlong into revolution.
PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT has appoint
ed Chas. J. Bonaparte of Baltimore to
be Sec'y of the Navy, in place of Paul
Morton, who retires at the end of tliin
month. Mr. Bonaparte is a grandson
Of Napoleon's younger brother, Jerome,
who married a Miss Patterson of Balti
more, while his ship was at that harbor
•ad who was afterwards forced to
divorce her and enter into a political
marriage with a German princess.
THE Japanese government has placed
orders in this country for two-hundred
locomotives, hundreds of steel cars and
other railroad equipment amounting in
all to to about fifteen millions of dollars.
They are building railroads through
Corea, and they will probably take pos
session of and operate the trans-Siberian
road east and south of Harbin, as their
terms of peace to Russia now will
probably include the complete evacua
tion of eastern Siberia.
A Perilous Adventure',
Two young men of Penn township
named Fisher and Sutton had an ex
perience a few nights ago to which all
the dime-novel adjectives enn appro
priately be applied.
They went to Evans City that even
ing, partook of something that made
them very sleepy and started home
late, going to sleep in tlieir buggy.
Their horse took the usual road home
until he came to the crossing just west
of the Glade Run trestle, where, in
stead of following on np the hill, lie
turned to the left and followed the rail
road to the trestle and began crossing
it.
He did not go far, however, until his
four feet were caught in the ties, and
the two sleepers were awakened by his
struggles. They awakened—and such
an awakening. They realized the peril
of their situation, and called for help.
The watchman at the other end of the
trestle came running across to them
and ran on past them and flagged the
Buffalo Express just then due. Then
the train crew, watchinau and the
sleepers cut the buggy loose and toppled
it into the run, and went to work on
the hcrse. They got him up and upon
a plank and slid him off the trestle—
the sleepers holding his head down so
that he would not kick.
The track was cleared, the train pass
ed on and the young uien went home,
but they have not been saying much
about their adventure
The incident, however, suggests the
keeping of watchmen at both ends of
that trestle.
Dauhenspeck Itcimiuu.
The second annnal reunion of the
Daubenspeck family and those of kin
by marriage will lie held at the resi
dence of Elmer W. Daubenspeck near
North Hope, Aug. 30, 1905.
Everyone welcome, come and bring
well filled baskets; send notices to
friends. By order of Committee.

WAR NOTES.
Three Russian cruisers which es
caped the battle in the strait? of Corea
arrived in Manila harbor last Saturday
after a rnn of about 1500 miles. They
were nil damaged and the senior officer
aboard asked that they be allowed to
stay two weeks for repairs. They were
badly damaged above the water line
and were claimed to be damaged below
it, and our Admiral there appointed a
committee to examine them, and also
reported their arrival to our govern
ment. The committee reported that
it would take two months to repair one
of the vessels, and they were ordered
dismantled and interned during the
war.
fubllsher
All the Russian officers aboard the
damaged vessels assert that their fleet
was thrown into confusion (thereby
causing defeat) by submarines; but the
Jsps make no mention of the use of
them, and the chances are that the first
casualties to the Russian fleet were
C3nsed by the superior marksmanship
of the Jnps. In a heavy sea parts of the
under-water body of a large vessel are
momentarily exposed and become the
target: but hitting that target with a
shell from a moving gnn, at a distance
of a mile or two requires much
practice under similar conditions, and
this the Japs are said to have had.
The details of the battle between the
Japanese and Russian fleets show that,
the Russians started in to put up a good
fight, but the sea was very heavy and
their gunners could not land their shots,
and the experienced gunners of the Jap
fleet soon disabled several of the Rus
sians ships and these were attacked
and sunk after dark by the Jap torpedo
boats. Admiral Togo says he did not
send his torpedo boats among the Rus
sians until after sunset, also that his
fleet had tho Russians surrounded al
most from the beginning of the battle.
The fighting continued all nizht and
into Sunday morning, the latter part of
it being a chase during which a few
Russian vessels surrendered and a
few escaped and made good to
Vladivostock and Manila.
It is estimated that eight thousand
Russians are sleeping beneath the waves
as a result of the battle and four thous
and are prisoners, while the Japs lost
but eight hundred men in killed and
wounded, and three torpedo boats.
ACCIDENTS.
Ed Garvais, a baker for ,T. A. Richey,
had his face and left arm burned by a
gas explosion, last Sunday.
Wattie Allison had an arm torn by a
barbed-wire fence, Sunday.
Two Slavs were killed by falling steel
plates at the Car Works, last Thursday
morning.
Mrs. Agnes Graham of Butler twp.
fell in her yard, Saturday, and fractur
ed one of her arms at the elbow—a very
bad fracture to reduce.
John Smith of C'allery was struck by
a train and had a leg crushed, last Sat
urday. He was brought to the hospital
and his right leg was amputated below
the knee.
A boy driving his four cows home for
their evening milking, had them on the
crossing east of the tunnel in Forward
twp., Inst Friday, just in time to con
nect with a fast train; and the four
cows and the bull that accompanied
them, were made short work of. One
cow was carried on the engine to the
next cut, and the place looked like a
slaughter house.
A verdict of accidental death was.
returned by the coroner's jury of Alle
gheny county in the death of Harry
SDyder. aged 10 years, of Valencia, who
was fatally injured by a circular saw
last Friday.
Snyder, who was six feet in height,
was employed as an offbearer at a port
able saw mill on the Maxwell farm,
near New Texas, in Plum township.
On Friday morning he was riding on
the carriage that cafrie3 the logs to the
saw. As the carriage approached the
saw Snyder jumped off into the pit be
tween the wedge and tho rapidly revolv
ing saw. He lost his balance and slip
ped. Recovering himself he again slip
ped, falling backwards on the saw. His
spine was cut through and a large por
tion of his hip cut oft. Portions of his
entrails were torn out and thrown on
the rafters of the shed. Although so
frightfully injured the boy never lost
consciousness. He talked to his aunt
and other relatives, drank a glass of
milk, ate some bread anil drank a glass
of water a few minutes before he died
Snyder lived several hours after receiv
ing his injuries.
FIRES.
The theatre on Fifth Aye.. Pittsburg,
known as the Avenue Theatre and
which was erected nearly fifty years
ago for an Odd Fellows Hall, was de
stroyed by fire last Friday afternoon.
The fire started in the upper story, and
the roof was burning before it was dis
covered. A performance was on in the
Grand, next door, at the time, but
everybody got out safely. There were
some mishaps but no fatalities The
(irand Opera House was damaged.
The home of Edward and Elgin Dau
benspeck at Mcßride in Penn twp., was
totally destroyed b> fire, Sunday morn
ing. The fire originated from an explo
sion of gas in tho cooking stove, and in
a moment the entire building was in
flames. Little or nothing was saved,
and Edward was slightly burned in try
ing to save some things. Loss alxmt
SIBOO and no insurance. The young
men and their sister lived together in
the house.

Nervous Headache.
The Cau.se of Much Suffering to Women
is Permanently Cured When the
System is Built up by
Dr. A. W. Chases
Nerve Fills.
When the head aches hard and throbs;
when the neck and eyes grow stiff, the
face flushes or grows deadly white;
when any excitement or over effort
brings on an attack of nervous head
ache so severe that it leaves you weak,
trembly,shaky and utterly worthless for
days, it is a certain indication that the
nervous system is shattered—that resist
ive power is gone —that you need a med
icine that will rebuild and re-supply the
lost nerve force, that will so strengthen
you that you can resist and overcome
these terrible seizures. Such a medicine
is Dr. A. \V. Chase's Nerve Pills, a
medicine that does not relieve but goes
to the foot of the trouble and positively
cures.
Mrs. John Fall of Fourth St., Toronto,
0., says:
"I like Dr. A. W. Chase's Nerve Pills
because they cured my nervous sick
headaches—these headaches used to play
me out and leave me weak and nervous,
the pain being so severe. My eyes used
to get stilt and sore during the attack
and the neck so stiff I could hardly turn
it. The Nerve Pills, however, proved
to be just what I needed and cured the
attacks in a hurry. As a result I feel
steady in nerves, physically strong and
vigoronsiand in every way sound and
well. This make 3me feel I can't speak
too highly of the medicine."
