Mnrphy. AUDITOR GENERAL, Robert K. Young. SECRETARY OF INTERNAL AFFAIRS. Henry Honck. CONGRESS, R. H. Pillow. ASSEMBLY, J. M. Dight, Ira McJunkin. JURY COMMISSIONER, A. Dale Tborne. POLITICAL. Col. Huff and Dr. Pillow have agreed upon Thursday, August 23d, next as the date for the Congressional Con ference. Chairman Seaton has rented rooms in the Krut, formerly Wuller heirs, build ing on South Main street, for a head quarters. The committee on the enforcement of the Roberts corrupt practices act ap pointed by the Civil Servico Reform as sociation. of Pennsylvania, has sent out a circular calling attention to one aspect of the act that is of special interest to political committees. It concerns the purchase of poll tax receipts by such committees, or by any one, in fact, for distribution among voters. "While not specifically forbidden by the act this practice ifl unlawful, since the paying of another man's poll tax is not one if the things mentioned in it as permissible. That could not be held by any stretch of the law to be a legitimate election expense, as it is the spirit and the pur psse of the law that each man shall pay his own tax. La Follette went into the U S. Senate with the reputation of a Gover nor who had made a successful fight on railroad regulation in his own state. Had he been accorded courteous treat ment there he would not have towered above all others in the public estimation. But the Senators picked him out as a subject for parading their dislike. They advertised the fact they would not listen to anything he frould say. They took pains to make it plain that no matter how meritorious his motions they were to be voted down. In other wdrds, they let the whole people know that while they had to swallow much, Li Follette was the particular bete noir of the corporations whom they would mt have on any terms. Wherefore, the people are loving La Follette for the enemies he has made. His extraordin arily popular standing is the obvious result of the prominence which the cor poration element gave him as the par ticular object of their hatred. If this endows him with the exceptional power to overthrow the corporate ring in New Jersey millions of people will hope that it may be continued indefinitely, and he is to make some speeches iu New Jersey this Fall. THE Japanese government has begun buying the railroads of that country, and intends owning them all. THOSE members of the late Russian Douma, who signed the manifesto is sued at Viborg are to be arrested for High Treason. THE Qalapagos islands off the coast of Ecuador, with all their big turtles, came near being ours for five million dollars. • _ THE railroads of this country are caid to be worth sixteen billions, em ploy a>million and a half people, and hare 220,000 miles of track. THE Patent Office at Washington has 23,000 unacted upon applications for patents on hands, and the patent at torneys have complained to the Presi dent about it. CONGRESS appropriated $200,000 for a postoffice site in Toledo, O. One was found, that would suit, and the cost was but $136,000, and the balance, $64,000, was actually returned to the, treasury—an unprecedented proceeding. * Onlv a few days ago a Nebraska Con gressman, charged with drawing salary for four months before he was elected to fill a vacancy, angrily denounced "such a big fuse about so small a mat ter. Everybody went to Washington "to get all they could" was his defense. THE garrison of the great sea-fortress of Sweaburg, which directly guards the port of Helsingfors, on the Gulf of Fin land; and indirectly helps to guard Cronstadt, the sea-port of St. Peters burg, is reported to be in a state of mu tiny, an account of the distribution of the Viborg manifesto among them, and the mutineers were reported fighting four companies that remained loyal to the Czar, all Monday night. The peo ple of the town about the fortress were bearing a bombardment by the fleet. Publish the Assessments. Publicity x of the assessment lists at least once in three years is now coming to be regarded as the only solution of inequitable taxation. The publication of these lists in the newspapers would stop a great deal of favoritism. On this question the Wilkes-Barre Record says; "If the assessors' lists were spread be fore all the people, so that all property owners could make a general compar ison of valuations, and the small prop «rty owner could see at a glance what the extensive property holder who is supposed to have a 'pull' is paying, there is no doubt that if there are in equalities and glaring favoritism there would be a united protest and a de mand for equalization— such a demand as could not be ignored. Then if the whole community Instead of a few citizens were informed of the asses* ment conditions that are supposed to exist, the chances are that in a short time the properly assessed taxpayers • would not pay the taxes that the favor ed property owner should pay. All that is needed to raise the issue and arouse the taxpayers who contribute their just share to the support of government is a general publication of the inequalities."

The Electrical Storm The electrical storms that passed over eastern Ohio and Western Pennsylvania last Friday night were almost unpre cedented in violence and disaster. More barns *ere reported destroyed than we have any previous recollection of being destroyed during one storm. In this county the principal disturbances seem ed to be f(pm the northwest to the southeast, the lightning striking and burning barns from Worth township to Clinton and Buffalo; though a smaller storm coming from the east and did damage from Clearfield twp. to Butler. "Our town received the worst bombard ment that night that it has had for I years, and several buildings were struck though, fortunately, nobody was seriously injured and no buildings were burned. The -area covered by the stoims was unusual. Burned barns are reported in all the neighboring counties, and from as far south as Uniontown, Pa., and ns far west as Columbus, Ohio. In the western and southeastern parts of this county hailstones destroyed crops and foliage of trees and the same is re ported in spots of Allegheny county and other sections. In Worth twp. and vicinity we hear of the destruction of the barns of Mrs Nancy Ilogue, James McCormiek and A J. Bo^Trs. In Connoijuenessiug twp. the house of Greer McCandless was struck but not burned. Near s Jnuction the house of Chas. Morrison is reported struek and burned. In Clay twp. Asath Cranmer lost eight cattle. Between Butler and Connoquenessing some telegraph poles were shattered by lightning from the wires. Near Harmony and Zelienople a heavy fall of hail hurt the gardens. In Clinton twp. the barns of Thos. Wiley and Andrew Hanna were struck and burned, both men losing this year's wheat and hay. with no insurance on Wiley's. In Buffalo twp. James Xolf's barn was struck and burned with this year s wheat and hay and one horse. Another barn in that twp. said to have been Grant Shnster's, near Freeport, was struck and burned. In Batler the honses of A 1 Ruff, A. B. Ekas and Jno. Hemphling and the Presbyterian church were struck. Mrs. Helmbold's barn nearSaxonbnrg was reported struck and burned, also John Shield's near Great Belt. The "Widow Hogue" of Worth twp. lost all her hay. oats and farming im plements. and her loss is put at £3OOO. The house of Harry E. Taylor in Chi cora was struck, but not greatly injur -6(1. Among the barns struck by lightning and destroyed last Friday nighf was that of John Quinn, in Clinton twp. The lightning played strange pranks, according to the veracious newspaper reporters, one of whom makes it turn up a row of potatoes. The hailstone liar of Freeport also did pretty well, the next day— "Enormous hailstones that fell during the terrific storm last night still covered the ground at daylight this morning. Many gathered bucketfulls of them and used them instead of the daily cake of ice today. Others had ice cream frozen by the hailstones. The hail resembled great jagged frag ments of ice. The largest piece found was seven inches long and nearly three inches thick. Leaves were torn from trees, and growing crops were ruined by the frozen crystals." ACCIDENTS. , Robert Belknap had a shoulder dislo cated by a fall from a car at Franklin, last week. Erastua Dunlap of Marion twp. fell from a load of hay last Saturday and so injured the ligaments of his leg that he has been unable to use it since. Fireman Frank Lark of the Bessie lost a leg at Pardoa, last week, by the fall of a large lump of coal upon it, crushing it so badly that amputation was necessaiy. A little son of M. M. Still wagon of the Fifth ward fell from a wagon last Saturday aud broke an arm. A pasty of Butlerites, including Miss Alice Thompson, and the McKimmie family were in a railroad wreck iu Utah, last W2ek, but escaped without serious injury. Henry Warnecke, a printer, dived from the B. It. Sc P. trestle east of town, into the creek, the other evening; struck a snag, was badly useu up, and was taken to the Hospital. I Ed. Renshaw of Butler had an arm broken, by a fall from a tree, and was taken to the Hospital. While a Beaver county farmer was cutting fence-corner weeds with a sick le, last Saturday, he accidently cut open a hornets' nest. The insects swarmed about his head and he ran for his life. As he spead towards his home he brand ished the side about his head in a des perate offort to keep the hornets off. The edge of the implement was keen. One sweep of the blade cut off an ear and another sank the sharp edge into the back of his ntck. Ilia condition is serious, but he is expected to recover. Neighborhood N r otes. i While Samuel Pearce. a young farmer 1 of Washington county was driving h j relative to the railroad station, last Sunday afternoon; a negro named ! Dempster, entered bis house and killed • his wife and two children, and wounded another—all with a revolver —and then I set fire to the house. It was a pitiable j sight that Mr. Pearce faced wuen he j returned from the station. The fiend ' ieft no ttu« ,Vhind him. but he had j been seen iu the vicinity, was arrested ! at home aud taken into tLe arcgence of I the dead, when he confessed, and «a, • hurried to jail in Washington to pre i vent lynching, ! The tent of a party of tampers from ; Turtle Creek and Wilmerding, at Con- J jieaut Lake, was struck by lightning j last Sunday and four young men were | injured. j A Maryland sheriff oai» ■ tted a crowd j who wanted to lynch a prisoner by tak j ing him to an island in the bay and i hanging him—thereby maintaining the ! dignity of the law? Marshall Field's executors will be j asked to pay taxes amounting to about j $2,?00,WW. This will be by far the I greatest tax ever levied upon the i-rop j erty of an individual taxpayer, and is j the practical result of the decision by i the board of review fixing the personal property on which the Field estate! must pay taxes at $130,000,000. The I real estate is worth about $50,000,000 additional, making the total amount of property on which that estate will have • to pay taxes approximate £180,000,000. ■ The larger portion of the assessment against the Field estate is for back taxes on personal property upon which the late Mr. Field is held by r the board of review to have avoided paying taxes. i Why? Why don't the Butler Street Railway Company extend its tracks up the Centre Ave. hill, around the County Home, aud making a loop, connect with it* lines at the Willard Hotel'/ This would certainly open up a fine district for th«. Street Car people, aud ' help considerably toward the up build ing of that eection of Butler The residents of that vicinity say it does not pay them to take a car at Ziegler Ave . as they have already completed most of their journey upon arriving at that point. A CITIZEN. • i Tlie Venango Sensation. The Franklin. Pa . "Citizen-Press" of list week printed a well connected ac count of the attempted ass i—ination of Sheriff McElhinney. of that county, while driving through Richland town ship a few nights asro, and which ex onerates the Sheriff The supposition is that he was -hot at by the husband of a young woman, who some time before had been his prisoner or guest for the non-payment of s>me costs that the husband could not or would not pav. The Richland twp. story is that the Sheriff wrote to the woman making a date with her: that the letter was placed in her It. F. D. bos, that the husband came along, got it and read it, resealed it and put it back in the box, and then went home and got bis gun and con cealed himself near the meeting place: the Sheriff came along and just as the wife was stepping into his busrgv the husband put in an appearance, and fired p.t the Sheriff's head, the ball bei.ig de flected by. his hat, and scouring around his head. The "Emlenton News man evidently takes considerable stock in the latt'-v story for in his paper of last week, be | prints the following: "Sheriff McElhinney wa- down in; this end of the county Wednesday | night, the and made a record for himself that will forever follow him through life. Just what the real"facts are in the case it is impossible to deter mine, one side of the controversy telling one story and the Sheriff and the papers telling another. However it is not for ns to say which is right, though the story of Ed. Whitling and that told by the people of ttood old Tlichland is up permost in the minds of the people of this end of the county. Whatever th< | real intentions of the Sheriff were makes no difference; the whole thing i a disgrace to him as well as a slander on the good people of the township. It the Sheriff had no official business in the predicament in which he was caught, he therefore had no busint - there at all. And if the husband in the case did use a gun in the manner it is said he did, he certainly was doing what any other man would have done The Sheriff tuade a blunder that casts I serious rrflection upon his heretofore good name, and if ho is not guiltv, as it is thought he is, he should make ever} effort to xdace himself right. The stigma placed upon the name of Rich land township demands that something be done in the matter. Her citizens are not a band of assassins and cutthroat- j by any means, and naturally they arc indignant. It is not many years since a judge was forced to resign from hi- 1 exalted position on the bench in this couuty. Why should the good people tolerate a sheriff if the stories told are true. County Commissioners, investi gate" More Snake Stories. • Up in Mercer, a few days ago, a rol in was noticed killing a 'small garter snake, in the park. Mrs. Annie Hileman and Mr?. A. D. : Glunt, of Shay, Armstrong Co , were passing through a piece of woodland I one day last week when a very large black snake fell from a tree directly in front of them. The women became frightened and Daily Glunt, who was working in a corn field nearby, came to their assistance, and killed the reptile. It measured nine feet eight inches. Air. li. B. Haynes, of Connellsville, comes to the front with a new snake story. His son Ora killed a common garter snake and secured about a doz?ti of her young, the little snakes measur iug about six inches in length. One of the little ones was found to have two perfectly formed heads, the heads join ing the boity fully half an inch from the eyes. The double headed snake was alive when captured, but was afterward killed. A black snapper rattlesnake two and out-half feet h> length was killed iii one of the stalls of the Titusville driving park last week. As many of the em ployes about the stables have bee.i care less of their sleeping places, the discov ery of the reptile naturally caused some excitement. Two enormous rattlesnakes were kill ed at the famous Wolfden haunt of these reptiles at President, Venango Co., last Sunday, One measured fonr feet six inches aud the second five feet. As the snakes were found within a yard or two of each other and were so nearly o£ one length it is supposed that they ;yere mates John h. Osgood, reports the killing of three big rattlesnakes near bis saw mill on Reed run, Forest Co The first snake measured four feet and two inchtrs and carried 11 rattles; the second, four feet and three inches, and carried 17 rattles, and the laat one four feet and seven inches and had 31 rattles. He says the men have the bides and rattles preserved at the mill to prove the above statement "It is related of a gentleman who was out alccij. a country road in his car when oue of fclw ti?es of his machine went fiat on acconut c£ a puncture. There was no farm house nearer than several miles where a team ol horses ;;onld be secured to take the lame auto home, ;>;.J being in a hurry the chauffer decided to proceed slowly on the fiat tire preferring the risk ot a damaged wheel to a long delay. Proceeding in thid manner he had not gone very far until the "fiat" wheel rim across a large copperhead that was sunning it self on the road, Angry at the intruc ion the snake viciously buried Its fangs in the tire several times. In a few minutes the tiro began to swell and in less than an hour it was of a size when fully indited, and the delighted oc cupants of the car came home but a lit tle behind time. The moral of the tale is that you should either take a supply of copperheads along when you are driving out i;i yeur car. or use the same brand of liquor did the chancer 0° the snake inflated auto did !

The verdict of history will undoubt edly 1 ink Baron Kodania, the Japanese chief of staff who died lately, as one of the world's greatest military geni uses. For ten years, from the day when Japan was compelled to surrender the fruits of its victory over the Chinese until the stoh'-i Liao-Tang peninsula was again v,-rested from Russia, Kodama was the brains of the Japanese army. He it was who organized the marvelous fighting machine that humbled the armies of the Czar. What has been said of the plans of Von Moltke was as true of those of Kodama with this difference, that the Japanese ex celled the Prussian in preparation. He not only organized the fighting units and provided for their transportation and maintenance but gave the world an impressive lesson in military sanita tion. It is not too much to say that no army has ever been so thoroughly pro tected p.gainst the more deadly ravages of disease than the Japanese in the late war. Joshua Douglass, aged 80, was fouud dead in bed at the Mitchell House, North Sjitaate Eeach, Mass., last Sat urday morning. He was for over 50 years a prominent attorney of Mead vine, Pa., and was identified in a legal v> ay in many early railroad and oil de velopments. He was a California forty niner and several times a delegate to national Republican contentions. | STRAW | | HATS I * < $ AND | 1 PANAMASj h-2 PRICEJ '! t € i ft < i * All lines of straws j r 0 t including the $ j£ Knox and Imperial | in this sale. i * J| | All sizes in stccK $ | 11 |jno.S.Wick,|| £ HATTKR AND FI'KNISHER, 5 | 341 $.

His manners are a strange mixture of humility and in solence. for he is at once a salesman and an artist. And lie talks, talks, talks, bending his slim body into polite curves, gesticulating with his thin white hands, rolling his eyes in their painted orbits, the while he fumbles silks and velvets and satins and lace and wool. The mere man who comes into a dressmaker's shop of an afternoon—in Paris no one goes to the dressmaker s save only iu the afternoon—begins by sneering at this fantastic creature. That mood does not last long. Con tempt gives way to admiration. There is something marvelous in the way this lord of lace ami ribbon dominates th<? women, the royal highness as well as the spoiled actress. He is charming; he is frivolous. Then of a sudden his face darkens, he becomes serious, ho stares at her royal highness, studying lier form from head to foot; he smites his brow and cries despairingly: "'No, no! I can't see you in that gown—to day I can't see you in any gown—l will study —an inspiration will come— you must wait." And royalty goes away flattered, she knows not why.— Vance Thompson in Woman's Home Companion. Landor's Prose. Xo poet lias ever been a bad prose writer, whenever he cared to drop from poetry into prose; but it is doubtful whether any poet has been (juite so fine, accomplished and persistent a prose writer as Landor. "Poetry," he tells us in one of his most famous passages, "was always my amusement, prose my study and business. I have published five volumes of "Imaginary Conversations;' cut the worst of them through the middle, and there will re main in this decimal fraction quite enough to satisfy my appetite for fame. I shall dine late; but the dining room will be well lighted, the guests few and select." Without liis prose Landor is indeed but half, if he is half, himself. —Arthur Symons in Atlantic. l*nul Jones* rromiae.
