POLITIt'A I- All the primaries of all the parties of Illinois were held, last Saturday, and the new primary law seemed to give general satisfaction. Cullum won over Yates for U. S. Senator, by about I 30,000. The battle in the Second Maine Con gressional district (Littlefield s) promises to be interesting., this year Speaker Cannon and Secy's Taft and Shaw are to speak for the Republicans; and John Sharp Williams and Champ Clark and W. J. Bryan for the Democrats. At Harrisbnrg, Tuesday, the Prohibi tion State Committee nominated the following ticket: Governor, Homer L. Castle. Pittsburg; Lieutenant Governor, H. D. Patton, Lancaster county; Secre tary of Internal Affairs, George Hoff man, Montgomery connty. W. T. Creasy, nominated for Auditor General by the State Convention, remains on the ticket, he having accepted the nom ination at the outset. At the Democratic Congressional con ference at Seventh Ave. Hotel in Pitts burg, last Friday, nothing was done ex cepting talking over the situation and adjourning until tomorrow. "The Heineman conferees put for ward the claim that as Lewis Emory, Jr., the fusion nominee for governor, would carrv Bntler connty by 2,000 ma jority, their candidate would get the same number of votes. The Kline people declare that their candidate would receive the solid Democratic vote of Westmoreland county and would have a large following from the Inde pendent Republicans. As Heineman has been the candidate for three terms, H the Westmoreland conferees believe he should now step aside." Tlic Oregon "Experiment." A great deal is being written now about the Oregon "experiment," which is merely the trial by tho people of that state of direct legislation through the initiative and referendum. It is generally agreed by those who have been inquiring into it that it is not only entirely satisfactory to the Oregonians, but it has driven the corruptionists ont of their politics. A common error is that the initiative and referendum mean the end of de liberative legislation and the substitu tion for this meritorious system of law- by the maps or mob. Nothing could be further from the truth, for legislation under it is made an act of - wider and more thorough deliberation. The legislature of the state is not de prived of its functions in the slightest, except that power «ome legislatures ar rogate to themselves of opposing the will of the people. Bills are sent to committees for discussion and con sideration as under the old system, are given the same consideration on the floors of the legislative houses and are passed or defeated by a majority vote just as they are in any other state. But after that if a proper percentage of the people of the state desire further deliberation they can get it by using the power granted to them under the refer endum law. Then it is up for wider discussion than it received in the halls of the legislature and it is approved or defeated in a manner that leaves no donbt that the disposition of it is satis factory to the people of the state. In a recent referendum vote public clamor, which thoso who are opposed to direct legislation pretend to fear, was loudest in favor of an equal suffrage amendment Public indignation was greatest against a general appropria tion bill that had to be submitted to the votere of the state on account of the ob jections formally filed against it The suffrage amendment for which there seemed to be the greatest demand was defeated at the polls; the appropria tion bill so loudly denounced was ap proved. The calm, cool and delibera tive consideration of both measures and tbe final verdict on them proved that the people would not be led astray by noise. Oregon has also made the election of United States Senators direct by the people part of her new system. To con form with the constitution they must,of course, be elected by the legislature of the state, but provision is made for a vote on the candidates at the general election, This vote cannot be made binding in law on the members of the legislature, but to disregard it would be political suicide for the men who did so. When Pennsylvania destroys the political machine that now dominates the state government the next step will be to prevent the building of another. Under the initiative and referendum the political machine cannot exist nor can the political boss prosper. They are de prived of the opportunities for corrup tion that make them powerful. They may own the legislature, but they can not own the people. When their crooked acts are subject to review and reversal by the people crookedness will avail them little.— Leader. AN Italian steamer with HOO emi grants aboard was wrecked on a reef on the east coast of Spain, last week, and the greater number of emigrants drowned. Some fishing boats went to the resue and the drowning Italians fought each other with knives for places on them. Russia. After a battle lasting two days and nights the troops loyal to the Czar re gained possession of the fortress of Sveaborgat Helsingfors; and the mu tiny at Cronstadt fortress was also quelled, but the mutineers were report ed in iM>ssesßion of one ship of the I Baltic fleet, disturbances were reported from lieval. Riga and other towns, St Petersburg was being patrolled by soldiers, and the Czar moved to his county palace. On Friday evening the general strike began, all the street-cars in St. Peters burg stopped running, and all the street lights went out. The Railroad Tragedy No "accident" that has happened in this connty for many a year has caused more discussion than did the one at the Reibold cut-off, last Thursday night, by which two of our beet citizens were sent to eternity, as was also a citizen of a neighboring towD The crashing of a freight train into a string of freight cars left standing on the cut-off line "unprotected," at night, was something so unusual as to cause discussion of the responsibility for it. The accident was due, primarily, to the parting of a long west bound B. & O. freight train, on the line between Butler and Reibold, which was not dis covered by the engineer until notified by the operator at Keibold; correspond ence there with the Train Dispatcher at Butler secured orders to run tbe en gine and front end of the train to Buhl's siding, on the cut-off, where he left it standing on the Main track, supposing that he had absolute right of way to Harmony Junction, and returned with his engine to the main line at Mackin for the rear end of his train. This took considerable time: and in the meantime the Train Dispatcher, presuming that tho front end of the parted B. & 0. freight was on the siding at Buhl's, al lowed a B. R. & P. freight from New Castle to Butler, to enter the cut-off. This troin struck the unguarded and dark freight cars at full speed, and Harry B Field, the conductor of the B. R. & P. train, who happened to be riding on the engine. Jerome E. Henlen, the fireman, both of Butler, and James Smith of Pnnxsutawney. a brakeman, also accidently riding on the engine, were instantly killed, while engineer C. E Hunter of Butler, was thrown almost clear of the wreck by the impact and escaped without serious injury. An inquest was held by the Coroner and jury, last Sunday, at which the evidence of all the men on duty that night, and left alive by the tragedy, and also of several railroad men was taken, and the jury, after hearing all the evidence and all the expert opinions, decided as follows — "That Harry B. Fields, Jerome E. Hanlon and .Tames Smith came to their death Thursday, August 2, at 10:12 p. m., at Buhl's eiding, cn the Reibold branch of the Baltimore & Ohio R. R. Death resulted from a collision of B. R. & P. extra west engine and 31 freight cars left standing unprotected on the main track at Buhl's by the crew of B. & O. extra west engine 1943, in charge of Conductor C. J. Shelly and Engineer Chas. A. Beatty. The said wreck was due to the extreme negligence of Con ductor Shelly and Engineer Chas. A. Beatty in leaving 31 cars ou tbe main track without proper protection " The jury consisted of W. A. Stein, Theo. Keck, Wm. Ritter. H. E. Yonng, A! Walter and Harry Grieb. A CHICAGO bank, with four millions on deposit, failed, Monday, and twenty thonsand depositors suffer. One depos itor shot himself, and another dropped dead. The president and cashier have disappeared. A large amount of worth less paper is in the bank's vault. THAT Chicago bank failure gives point tc Gov. Hanly's speech of the day before declaring that the failure of all the banks during the last five years was not from any monetary condition but because of the treasonable vices of greed and the lust of gain.—Ex. Tlic Newest Trolley, Contracts have been awarded by President Boggs, for the grading and constructing of one-half of the Pitts burg, Butler and New Castle trolley line; and orders have been placed for ten-thousand tons of 80-pound rails, and sixteen 75-horse-power cars.

The total cost of the road is estimated at three millions Birthday Surprise Party. Thursday. August 2, was the fifty fifth anniversary of the birth of Edward Westerman of Clinton township, and the fifty-fourth of that of his wife. Mrs. Westerman who had expected to spend the day at ordinary housework, and Mr. Westerman at hauling logs, but early in the morning someone borrowed his wagon to keep him from getting away from the place. Shortly after people began arriving and by noon three! hundred were there, long tables had been built under the trees around the house and great quantities of all the good things the country produces had been heaped upon it. Abont this time Mr. Westerman's wagon returned, load ed with a handsome rocking chair for him and his wife,and a set of diningroom chairs, the gifts of their children. These were presented to Mr. and Mrs. West erman, and the assemblage then gathered around the table and after tbe short and appropriate prayer by Rev J. A. Beighey everybody did justice to the repast before them. In the afternoon renewing old acquaintanceships oc cupied the older guests, while a ball game between the Sefton team and the McCall team, and other games kept the young folks busy. Among those present were Mr. and Mrs. Westerman's chil dren, Mrs. D. C. Burton of Ivywood.

Mrs. "Westerman was a daughter of the late William Burtner Christian Endeavor Convention. The attention of the young people of the county is called to the fact that the time for the Annual Convention is near at hand.

Neighborhood Notes. The last child of S. L Pearce ol Washington Co., wounded by the negro Dempster, died last Sunday, and Mr. Pearce is left alone in the world. An Indiana.

What luck! "It is now said to be an insult to call a man a Pittsburg millionaire." The borough of Clarion is having trouble in getting its main street paved. The Burgess has served a bill in equity on the town council, asking the court to restrain them from entering into a paving contract with Johnson & Has tings. The grade of the brick to be used is the rock on which they split. The Erie R R. is fighting the Penn'a and li. & O on rates in Ohio. Last Sunday they carried passengers, 210 miles and back for tfO cen£s Oil and GUM Notes, The Market—On Thursday last tbe agencies made another 3.cent cut and the price was $1.58 Venango twp—The St. Patrick Oil Co, have Jately brought in two good wells on Mnrrm ap.d Simpson farms, both good gas and second *an<3 wells. The new oil well near Volant, ou the northern part of Lawrence connty, created considerable of a sensation in that county. It is but 800 feet deep and the oil is of the best. A deep well—Tho Carnegie Htefl Co. intends drilling a well to a depth of six thousand feet, and have selected a spot four miles west of Waynesburg, Greene connty, Pa., for the experiment. The derrick is of steel, and the rope a mix ture of h«jjp and steel threads. They expect to get a supply of gas at that great depth. Note—ln the Derrick's oil repon tor July, the Hazelwood well on the Geible is rated at 40 bbls. and the Finegan on the Wilhelm at 20-the two largest ratings in the .county. The recent cut in the prices of the various grades of crude oil at the wells has been generally accepted as due to the enormous overproduction of the new fields iu tbe West. Illinois has come to the front within the past year, as an en tirely unexpected factor, and the pro duction of the Mid-Continent field has been increasing with great rapidity. From these two sources alone there is an aggregate yield of over 110,000 bar rels a day. While of an infepioj- grade to the oil produced in our Eastern States a large proportion of it can converted into an acceptable and satisfactory il luininant. —Derrick.
