On Monday the majority of the com mittee on privileges and elections of the United States Senate reported to that body in favor of depriving Senator Reed Smoot, of Utah, of his seat. The report was signed by Senators Burrows, Dolliver, Dubois, Pettus, Bailey, Over man and Frazier. In brief, it found that Senator Smoot had forfeited his right to sit in the Senate because he had taken the endowment oath to avenge the blood of the Mormon prophets on the Nation and because as a member of the hierarchy of the church he was re sponsible for its action in sanctioning polygamy. , The minority report declared that Smoot is entitled to his seat, that the testimony as to his having taken the B endowment oath was given by wit nesses of bad character and that he was not shown to have been a polygamic himself or to have sanctioned the viola tion of the Federal law against it. The minority report is signed by Senators Foraker, Beveridge, Dillingham, Hop kins and Knox. POLITICAL.. The Democrats of Westmoreland Co. held their primaries last Saturday, but did not name a man for Congress; leav ing that to their Co. Committee which meets next week. At Dover, Del., Addicks was again defeated for U. S. Senator. Thi3 time by Col. Dupont—2o to 10. Time for New Regime. 11 is not surprising that many of the Republican newspapers of the state are condemning the methods which were used in nominating a Republican govern or. They should be condemned by the true Republicans of this commonwealth. Of course the ticket will be condemned by the Democrats, but this criticism means little, as any kind of a ticket, by whatever method, would have been criticised. The Democrats are looking out for their interest, and their boss, Col. Gnfitey, will slate their nominee for ' them. And they will pipe to his fiddle as they have always done. Bnt the Republicans of this state have ret before them a contest within the party. It will be a contest for the elimination of those methods and those tactics which made possible the nomi nation of Stuart. Few of the delegates to the Harrisburg convention knew any ftf fanfliflnta Until tWO davS before the convention. They bad been promised an open convention and a ! square deal. They did not expect that ' the Philadelphia machine would have the nerve to use the party machinery of the state to rehabilitate itself. Yet this combination made up of malodorous factional leaders, discredited in Phila delphia, named the ticket which was forced on the Republicans of the state. There were enough delegates under the control oi Penrose and responsible to-him or their leaders for political ex i«tence and their jobs to go along. All credit should be given to those Repub licans of the state who refused to wear the Penrose collar, and showed their in dependence and who expect to remain in the party to make possible the defeat of nnch methods and such outrages in the future. The Republicans of the state have an important duty to perform and we are not so sure but they will perform it. And let the consequences which will come to those leaders who disregarded the rights of others, be what they may. It is time for a new regime—a new leadership.—Washington Observer. AT Bellefonte, Centre Co., last Fri day. a statute was dedicated to Andrew G. Curtin, the great war-governor of Pennsylvania, In his later years he joined the Democrats in an effort to de stroy the "Cameron machine" and for six /ears he served in Congress as a Democratic representative, discharging his duties with ability and credit. Be was a Pennsylvanian whose memory can well be honored by its citizens of all parties. Fatal Fi res. Towards midnight of last Thursday night the fire alarm was sounded, and persons residing in the northwestern part of town, ani who looked from their upper windows, saw a house on the plank road hill completely enveloped in flames—a vast torch—and the thought occurred that a home so completely and suddenly enveloped in flames might be the funeral pyre of some or all of the members of that family. And so it was. Gas escaping from a % hose connection completely filled the room on the first floor occupied by Miss Katharine Kreitzer, the oldest daugh ter of Andrew Kreitzer, and probably made her unconscious; then it ignited from a light left burning low: and the explosion that followed blew ont the side of the room and set fire to the whole lower story of the house; the members of which, sleeping up-stairs escaped through the windows, but Miss Katherine, yet in her bed. slept the sleep that knows no waking. Part of her charred body was fonnd on the bed springs after the fire burned ont. The fire companies, by a heroic effort, prevented the flames from communicat ing to the adjoining houses. The First Wards were first near the scene, and connected with tho plug at the Hospi tal; then the Campbell's came along and attached to their hose, making n line long enough to extend to the nar row passageway between the Kreitzer honse and the next building, with a weak stream of water, but sufficient to do good, thongh to the firemen, danger ous work. The family escaped in their night clothing, lost everything, and were pro vided for by their neighbors. This is the second house Mr. Kreitzer has lost by fire. Early next morning a house on same hill, and but a few handred feet dis tant was destroyed in almost the same manner. A rubber hose in Alonzo Hutchens kitchen, exploded during the night, and the room tilled up with gas. When Mr. Hutchens entered the kifch en in the morning he smelled the gas, but did not close the door behind him, and while he was turning off the gas in the kitchen, it reached the light in the dining room, and the explosion wrecked the house, set it on fire, and so badly burned Mr. Hutchens that he was tak -4a to the ffflflfKnl. ACCIDENTS. J. A. Klingensmith met with a serious accident at George Harvey's in Clinton township. Monday. He waa tearing down an old log-barn at the time, when a log fell across his breast, breaikng six ribs and, perhaps, injuring him in ternally. Finlay Bartley of Evans City, former ly of Brnin, aged 38 years, was found nnder a freight train near Gallery last Saturday night. When the engineer stopped at Callery for orders, he heard a groan under a car and an investiga tion revealed the badly mutilated body of a man not yet dead under the trucks. He was placed on the Buffalo flyer and started for the Butler Hospital, but died on the way. Hia body was taken to Bruin. He waa a son of Thos. W. Bartley, and is survived by his wife and five sxiiall children. A Slav named Gladi had a leg broken at the Car Works, Sunday night E D. Comstock. G. P. A. of the "Bessie" had a leg broken by a fall from a car, at Greenville, Monday. A bov nsuned Orriel fell at the Park skating rink, Monday night, broke an arm, and is now at the Hospital. Tlie Flood. The downpour on the night of June 6th, 1906, in the townships to the north and northeast of Butler seems to have been one of the most remarkable of late years—though how many inches fell was not measured. We hear of farms being washed, in several townships; of corn, oats and po tato crops being damaged: of roads be ing washed out and township bridges being destroyed; of several railroad washouts; of telephone lines downed and one railroad bridge (on the Win field branch) being destroyed. The Slipperyrock, Connoquenessing and Buffalo were all flooded. The wa ter in Butler rose higher than ever be fore known, the Centre avenue and rail road bridge embankments forming a dam there, and the railroad and county bridges and embankments near the car works another there, while the creek b«d and channel are gradually being filled with refuse. Much damage waa done in Butler, and in several townships. Old residents of the Connoquenessing Valley say the water last Thursday was two feet higher than the great flood of August, 1861, and three feet higher than when the Boydstown dam bursted in August. li>o3. If the water last Thursday had gone three or four inches higher, it is said the dam would have overflowed and broken, and Butler have been another Johnstown. Fires and Lightning. During the storm of last Wednesday night the barn of Harrison Emery in Washington twp, was struck by lightn ing and destroyed by fire. One cow burned with the barn. The loss is about SIOOO, with insurance in S6OO. Jas. Campbell of Concord twp. had a fine Jersey killed by lightning during the storm of last Wednesday night. During the storm of Saturday after noon James Mitchell and his son, of Rural Valley, Armstrong county, were killed by lightning while sitting on their porch; while a dozen houses and barns near Punxsutawney were struck, and two boys killed. The barn of Lawrence Denny in Winfield twp. was struck by lightning. Wednesday night. School Board Meeting. Monday evening the School Board met and" accepted the report of the budget committee which recommended the levying of taxes as follows: 1 mill sinking fund. 6 mills general fund and 2 mills building, a total of nine mills. Last year the tax was 1 mill sinking fund, 6 mills general and no building tax, making an increase of two mills. Debts already contracted in connection with the condemnation of the old Borough graveyard amount to S7OOO, which was borrowed from the general fund of last year, and this indebtedness makes the levying of a building tax necessary. A hard fight against mak ing an increase of more than one mill waa made, and the final vote was 0 to 0 in favor of the two mill increase. All last years corps of teachers wbo applied were re-elected, which included all the old High School force, all the principals and special teachere, and all the teachers except Florence Cornelius. Mae Kreaps, Anna Thompson and Miss Barton, who did not ask for re-election. Miss Cornelius has been elected to a position in the Bellevue schools and Miss Kreaps is now Mrs. Frank Kemper. Miss Elizabeth Frazier, who was sub stituted last year, was given a regular position, and two additional teachers were elected, raising the total from 53 to 55. making places for six new teachers. They are Mary McKinley, AnnaH. Brown, Edith Negley, Gertrude Redic, Margaret Wilson and Em ma Marshall. The total number of teachers, principals and High School Corps is 69. Henry Krug was re-elected truant officer and Harry Nicholas, T. A. Hite, Simon Moon, Oliver Graham and J. H. Cumberland were re-elected janitors. Miss Bard of the High School has been elected to a place in the Central High School. Pittsburg, and if she will not accept her Butler posUion, another High School teacher will have to be elected Friday evening when the Board meets to fix salaries, etc. Oil and Uas Notes.

The Cunningham Brothers- Founders of Butier. MR. EDITOK —The recent removal of the dead remaining in the old grave yard of Bntler was an event calculated to make a deep impression upon all ocr people, bnt more especially upon the decendanta of the early citizens of onr town. While the remains of many had heretofore been removed to new resting places, yet there were still reposing there the dust of some of the early pioneers and, in one case, of that of one of the founders of the town itself. In most of such cases the descendants of these ancestral dead were either scatter ed afar, or perhaps themselves dead. To preserve their memory an element of sentiment arose which said, that even if no bones or dust of theirs be found yet their names should be rescued from oblivion and not permitted to perish from the earth. In this noble and worthy sentiment our School Board, who have been given control of the old ground for school purposes and who were charged with the care and remov al of its dead, heartily shared, and we have every assurance from them that the new homes of these dead will be marked by suitable grave stones placed at their head. Among them will be that of John Cunningham, whose name ap pears on the deeds as giving two of the three lots composing this old burial ground, and who died in Butler in the year 1805, and was buried upon one cf the lots he, in part, gave. The removal of his dust, last October or November, came just about one hundred years from the time of his burial there. Of him, who he was and what he did for the town and county of Butler, in con junction with a brother, it is the desire and principal object of the writer of this to give some account, as he has learned the same by tradition, and a.-: handed down to him from father to son Two brothers, John and Samuel Cnrr niDgham were among the first whiie men who came to and settled within the limits of the present borough of Butler after the Indians had left this section. As General Wayne's victory over and treaty of peace with the Indians was in 179.->, the white man began to come here soon after. From all we have learned the Cunningham brothers came here in 1796 or 1797. Butler county was nut then organized—it was taken from Alle gheny county in 1800. So when they came there was neither county or town in being. They came from the eastern part of this State. Lancaster county it is said, but they seem to have had sonu acquaintance in and about Philadelphia What first attracted their attention tc this point was, very probably, inform i tion of it derived from an elder brother. James Cunningham, who had been ou« of the Surveyors of the State, appointed to survev and lay out into tracts tht State lands in Western Penrsylvania Many of these tracts had become thf property of Robert Morris, the dis tinguished Patriot of Philadelphia ii Revolutionary times, and who did sc much for the cause, of Independence James Cunningham, it would seem, be came the agent of Mr. Morris for tht lands in the district he surveyed. Thi> district extended from a line north o Butler about four miles to the Alie gheny river on the south, and was an< still is known as "Cunningham's Dia trict of Depreciation Lands." Th< portion of this "District" that fell iut< Butler county, after it was taken frou Allegheny county, embraces part of oui present Centre and Oakland townships all, or nearly all. of Butler, Summit Jefferson, Penn, Middlesex and Clintoi townships, and about half of Buffalo WinfieJd, Clearfield and Donegal town ships. The town of Butler is includes in Butler township. The lands within this "District" wen not in fact "depreciation lands", brr were so called because of certain scn'i 3r certificates issued to the soldiers oi the Revolution for their services hav ing become depreciated. The law al lowed tne trtrtirtn KU'l t«vy these lands in this depreciated scrip 01 money, and hence the name of thf lands' Robert Morris, in aid of and ii sympathy with the soldiers, gave then .food and full money for this scrip, am 'o such an extent that, with other simi lar losses, helped to bring about hi financial ruin. All his lands in thi? section of the State were sold at : Judicial sale held at Bedford, Pa . ii the year 1807, and Stephen Lowry, Esq. )f Baltimore, became the purchaser o; many of them in this section. Aftei that "they were called "Lowry lands.' By Mr. Lowry s will he devised theu to his daughter Sarah, who became thf wife of Thomas Collins, and hence tin lands became known as "Collins lauds,' ar "Sarah Collins lands " Sarah Colli™ lived in Butler in its early days am was well known to its early people. Tin late Mrs. Judge McClure and the latt Mrs. Judge Wilson McCandless of Pitts burg were daughters of Sarah Collin: and inherited most of her lauds here about, some of which, east of town, re main in their heirs to the present time The lands were divided into tracts ol abont 300 acres each. The particulai tract upon which Butler is was firs; known as the "Tressler tract", that be ing the name of the man to whom ; warrant had first been issued for it. T< this tract the attention of the Cunning ham boys, or men, seems to have beet directed. They settled upon it, obtain ed a patent, deed, for it and changed it! name from "Tressler" to that of "But ler", so called in honor of Genera Richard Batler, a brave soldier of th< Revolutionary war, and who afterward; fell fighting the Indians in the battli with them in the west known as "St Clairs' defeat", Nov, 1791. Our count; and our town were named after thi lamented Gen. Butler, and to the Cuu ninghains, tradition says, is due thi honor of suggesting the name. John and Samuel Cunningham, as wi say, became the owners of this tract o 300 acres that they called Butler. Wha directed their attention or fancy proba bly, to it was no doobt the peculia formation in the creek here. The; were millers, or had knowledge of thi milling business, and may be wer looking about for a good mill site t< erect a mill. This they found here The creek here on south end of towj flows in nearly a western course unti it strikes what was known as "Th Rocks", where it turns to the north One tier of these rocks lay directly ii the creek, forming a kind of half circle From this the creek escaped by a chan nel so deep and narrow that a singl timber of forty feet as a foot lpg coul' span it. Another row of huge rock was immediately behind and west o the row in the creek. This made : formation such as was no where ele known in or on the Connoquenessinj creek. It was wild, unique and pictur esque, and well calculated to attract at tention as rare and without its like. Bu one of all these "rocks" now remain entile. Most of the back row wer taken away by the coming of the firs railroad along there, Pittsburg am Western road. 1880, and most of th row in the creek were taken by the Bes semer road when it came, 189(5. Th oiij in the creek remaining entire i showing a disposition lately to f-lid still further iuto tho water, caused b; water drained from the raihoad ijowiu; against it. For many years these rock were a favorite resort for the boys o ttia town, particularly upon a Sunday and evfeiy ojje of them in ride it a specia i point to have the initial letters of hi name cut on them in poise shape o other. On this, the east side of the creek and directjy opposite these rocks. Join and Samne} Cunningham located am built the first flouring mill in all thi: vicinity. About the same time the} built a mill-house across the creel among the rocks we speak of Tin mill was driven at first by water from ; canal or race course which tapped thi creek about where the Plankroai' bridge crosses the creek. This nol proving suniciejit in power a mill dam was made, just wnei-.e tfce present darn is, and another race course'frou. it sup plied the water to drive the mill Thv present dam there is fast disappearing and will sooc be among the things thai were, being no longer cf the pres ent mill being driven by steaiii. As fa; as we have learned the first mill was erected in 1797 or 8. It was, as we state, before the lormation of our coun ty. The father of the writer of this, John Negley, deceased in 1570, wae the first miller in this Cunningham mill. He too had a knowledge of milling. Just how or where he and the Cunning hams first metTand became acquainted ■we never exactly learned, but we have reason for believing that he came here about the same time they did. They .ud he becauie very close friends and" lie continued their miller until February, 1807. when ho purchased of Samuel the mill anil all remaining of their tract of land and thus became their successor in business and prop erty John Cunningham having died, 1805. as we have stated, Samuel be came d'scouraged at his loss and con cluded to go back to his home in the eastern part of the State. (Concluded next week.) Dcnat ii rizo<! Alcohol. The recent passage by Congress of the bill to remove the tax on alcohol for technical uses, is expected to prove of enormous value to almost all the in dustries of the country. To render un lit for drinking or other purges al cohol which is intended for commercial or industrial utilization, the liquid mupt be "denaturized " by the addition of vari ous substances which make it impossible of consumption in beverages. For'most industrial purposes alcohol is used in Oermany free, after ha\ing been "denaturized' or rendered unlit for drinking purposes by admixture, in presence of <x government official, svitn a prescribed percentage or proportion of one or more of several different substances' prescribed in the very elaborate ctatate which governs toe complicated subject in Germany. There are two general classes or degrees of denaturization, viz , the "complete" anil the "incomplete." according t-> t.ie purposes for which the alcohol so de naturized is to be ultimately used Complete denaturization of nlcoaol by the German system is accomplished by the addition to every 100 liters (-<H gallons) of spirits, (ai Two and one halt liters of the "standard denaturizcr, made of 4 parts of wood alcohol, 1 part of pyridin (a nitrogenuons base obtain! d by distilling bone oil or coal tar), with the addition to each liter of 50 grammes of oil of lavender or rosemary; (b) one and one-fourth liters of the above "standard" and 2 liters of benzol, with every 100 liters of alcohol. Alcohol to be usedin the manufacture of ethers, aldehyde, agarcin, white lead silver bromide gelatins, photographic papers and plates, electroplates, col lodion, ealicylie acid and salts, chemicals and for a number or other purposes, is denaturized by the addi tion of (f) 10 liters sulphuric ether, or 1 liter of benzol, or one half liter of oil of turpentine, or 0 025 liter of animal oil. For the manufacture of varnishes and inks alcohol is denaturized by the ad_ dition of oil of turpentine or animal oil and. for the production of soda soaps by the addition of 1 kilogramme ot castor oil. Alcohol for the production of lanolin is prepared by adding > liters of benzine to each hectoliter of spirits. The price yf denatniized alcohol varies in the different Stntes and prov inces of the Empire in accordance with the yield and consequent maikf t price of potatoes grain and other materials. At the preseut time alcohol of 95 per cent purity, which is the quality or dinarily used in Germany for burning, sells at wholesale from 28 to 29 pfennigs (0.07 to <> 9 cents) per liter (1 CO quart?) and at retail for 33 pfennigs (7.85 centsi per liter —Sci Am The New York World THRICE-A-WEEK EDITION The Thrice a-Week World hop as to be in 1906 a better piper than it has ever been before, and it hi 9 made its arrangements accordingly.
