THE BUTLER CITIZEN. ] WILLIAM C. NEGLEY. - PUBLISHER THURSDAY, AUGUST TO. 190« SI M per year la Advaace, Otherwise $1.50 TICKET. GOVERNOR, Edwin S. Stuart. LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR, Robert S. Murphy. AUDITOR GENERAL, ißobert K. Young. SECRETARY OF INTERNAI. AFFAIRS, Henry Honck. % CONGRESS, Col. G. F. Huff. ASSEMBLY, J. M Dight, Ira McJunkin JURY COMMISSIONER, A. Dale Thorne, POLITIC Al-i. Wednesday of next week is the last day for registration. Butler's first political meeting will be on September 19, when Homer Castle will speak here in the interest of his nomination for Governor. Quite a number of Butler men at tended the Emery notification meeting at the "Nixon" theatre in Pittsburg, Tuesday afternoon. The admission was by card or ticket, and the house was not over crowded. In his speech, Mr. Emery talked about the relations of the railroad men with those of the other great corporations or trusts about as President Roosevelt has been talking; and everybody not directly benefitted is agreed that this juggling of rates must cease. If it cannot be stopped by legal enactments government ownership of at least one of the great inter-state railroad systems will probably follow. Col. Huff and his eight conferees arrived in Butler, last Thursday nooD; took dinner wtfh the Butler people, and then proceeded to nominate Col. Hnff 8 to 3—which was made unanimous. This makes Col. Huff the Republican Congressional nominee the district, as it wu expected he would be; and, as the new law pnta an end to all conferee arrangements, whoever secures the most votes in the two counties, two years hence, at the Republican prim aries will be the nominee then, and the chances are in favor 6f a Westmore land county man, as that county has more than double our Republican vote. We are the "tail of the dog" in this matter, made so by Qnay, dec'd., who in hia anxiety to defeat Acheson of Washington county made it necessary to put us in with Westmoreland, thus making an illegal district, as there is a strip of land under the jurisdiction of Armstrong and Allegheny counties and a river between the two counties; but we will have to put up with it until the state is re-districted —a thing that ought | to come with the session of 1909. The Westmoreland county men were a very agreeable and gentlemanly set of fellows, and Col. Hnff is an unusually ] bright, and very capable, business man. | THE new railroad rate law, which ] applies to all railroads doing an inter- * state business, went into effect at mid- * ■ of Monday. According to its 1 ■ provisions all roads were to _ with the interstate commerce commis sion all their tariffs and charges, show ing not only the fdtl cost of transporta tion from point to point, but also what items go to the making np of this cost. It was stated Monday that not a single company had been able fully to comply with this provision. The schedule of switching charges was the moet difficult of completion. ACCORDING to an authority when you lick a postage stamp you need not fear that the gum is something nnclean. Postal gum is the best quality on the facfe of the earth. It is derived from dextrine, a product secured in the pro cess of making starch from potatoes, corn and the cassava root. The starch from these vegetables is treated by roasting at a temperature of abont 300 degrees'at the first stage, causing it to turn into dextrine. Further changes make postal gnm and if the ' changes were carried to the limit the result would be grape sugar or glucoee. THE announcement that the under ground freight lines of the Illinois Tun nel Company in Chicago are completed calls attention anew to an enterprise that is remarkable in many phases. The system is the most original and am bitions of recent years. Forty miles of tunnels are constructed nnder the busi ness streets of Chicago, crossing nnder the rivers fourteen times. It connects with basements of all important busi ness bnildings, and will transfer freight at a fraction of the time and cost here tofore spent in hauling it through the streets. A CURIOUS fact in connectiou with the late earthquake is that the seis mograph on Mt Hamilton, at the Lick Observatory, Cal., shows no record of any earthquake shock. This instru ment is located in the so-called earth quake belt extending down the western cost of North and South America and around the Pacific Ocean where it takes in Singapore, Japan, and the Aleutian Islands. The seismograph located in this belt would be expected to receive distinct vibrations. The seismograph at Washington recorded both east-arid west and north-and-south vibrations of considerable extent. That at the Johns Hopkins University had the needle thrown off the recording cylinder, so violent was the shock, while the seis mograph at Victoria. B. C., also record ed a shock not so severe as that felt at San Francisco last April, bnt which was, nevertheless, quite prolonged. THE elevation or, as railroad engineers call it, the super-elevation of the out side rail on curves is more important and demands more careful thought and attention than the maintenance-of-way engineer, the rOad master. and the sec tion boss are in the habit of giving to it. The danger of derailment due to the centrifugal force exerted by a train •gainst the outer rail on curves may be greatly rednced by eleyating the outer above the inner rail. Indeed, there is a degree of snper-elevation corresponding to a given rate of speed which will theoretically relieve the outer rail of any side thrust, and cause the engine and cars to travel round the curve without any tendency to bear more heavily upon one rail than the other. If all trains were run at the same speed over a given track, it would be possible tj put in this theoretical amount of superelevation. As a matter of fact s>ine trains would run slower than those for which the track was adjnsted, and the slower trains would bear heavi ly against the inner rail. It is for this reason that engineers are in the habit of adopting a compromise snper-eleva tion, too low for the fast tram and too high for the slow train. Echoes from Valparaiso. Some of the business houses of \ al paraiso reopened last Thursday The government voted four-millions for the relief of the sufferers. By Saturday railroad communication between Santiago and Valparaiso had been re-established. The ministry of public works has been advised that it will be necessary to demolish more than 3,000 houses at San tiago as the result of damages which they received during the recent earth shocks. When the house of President-elect Montt, at Valparaiso, collapsed, his wife fell fiom the balcony into the street and bandits who were passing cut off her ears and fingers to rob her of her jewelry. Robert S. Atkins, the American vice consnl at Valparaiso, sent a dispatch to the State department, announcing that everything in the American consulate in that city war, destroyed and no sup plies are available. Cul»a. Why the opposition to the Palma government in Cuba is not definitely stated, One account credits it to the Sugar Trust another to the arbitrari ness of Palma and his associates, but the insurrection seems to have spread over the whole island. Guns and arnunition have been order ed from this country: and Tuesday's dispatches report a defeat of the rebel forces at Cienfuegos. Unhappy Russia. The dissolution of the Douma still rankles in the breasts of the Russian Revolutionists, though the Czar has be- gun the distribution of four and a half millions of "Crown lands" to the peasants. Last Saturday the explosion of a bomb at a public reception, given by Premier Stolypin, killed twenty-eight people, and wounded a large number, some of whom have since died: on Sun day, General Min. commander of the Seminoveky guard regiment, and who, since his promotion to be a general, has been attached as a personal adjutant to the suite of the emperor, was killed on the station platform at Peterhof by a young woman, who fired five shots into his body from an automatic revolver, and then, without resistance, submitted to arrest. On Monday at Warsaw and Luga. two more officers, noted for their cruel ty were killed. THIRTY-FIVE insurance companies out of the 120 involved in the San Francisco disaster have paid in the ag gregate $55,193,803-22, according to their office records to date. The Royal, of Liverpool, is credited with $8,804,- 000.41, the Hartford with $3,018,705, the New York Underwriters with $3,496,787, the Aetna, of Hartford, is down for $3,126,502 and the Liverpool and London and Globe for $3,721,258. Six companies have paid upward of $2,000,000 apiece, while an equal num ber have exceeded $1,000,000. THE mining of nickel ore in America has its centre in the vicinity of Sud bury, Ontario, where the annual out put has increased very rapidly within the last two or three years, owing to the extensive development of the de posits. While the existence of the ore has been known for over fitty years, only recently has this resource been ex ploited on an extensive scale. The annual product at present aggregates about 5,000 tons. Up to the present time, however, not over 50,000 tons have been taken from the mines, which gives an idea of the small quantity of this metal produced in comparison with iron, copper, and tin. THE Real Estate Trust Company of Philadelphia, organized in 1885, the de pository for nearly $1,000,000 of the funds of the Presbyterian church, hold ing $300,000 of the money of the city of Philadelphia and $175,000 of State de posits. closed its doors Tuesday. The failure was caused by heavy loans made by the late President Frank K. Hippie to Adolf Segal, a promoter, on poor security. A desperate effort was made to save the institution by the board of directors through an appeal to the Clearing House association, but that body declined to subscribe a guarantee fund of 17,000.000 because of insuffi cient security. The liabilities are placed at $10,000,000. with quick assets of $3,500,000 and doubtful collateral amounting to $8,000,000. Letter from Rev. Dight. MARS, PA., AUG. 21,1906. EDITOB CITIZEN:— DEAR SIR—I have been asked by some voters of the county to define my views on the following leading questions, now before the people of this Commonwealth: I most heartily indorse the admin istration of Theodore Roosevelt and all legislation passed bv the recent session of Congress. I am in favor of and shall support, if elected to the Legislature of Pennsyl vania, a law limiting the passenger rate on all railroads in our state to a maxi mnm of two cents per mile; and legisla tion giving trolly or electric roads the right to carry freight: also legislation giving a greater amount of money by the state to our public schools, thus re ducing local taxation; and an increased appropriation by the state for the im provement and maintenance of county roads, thus reducing the amount of road taxes paid by our citizens. 1 am thoroughly in accord with the Republican state and county platforms, and in addition shall favor and support all legislation that has in view the wel fare and betterment of our citizens. Very truly yours, J. M. DIGHT. Fantily Reunion M. N. Greer's son. John K. Greer, wife and three children, of Marion, Kansas, and Miss Lelia Mahan, or Em porium, Kansas, are visiting him in Buffalo twp. It is thirteen years since John B. went to grow up with the country, and neither his father nor mother recognized him when he re turned. Another son, Thomas D, of Kansas City, is expected this week and the boys will remain in the neighbor hood until the lHth of September to help celebrate their parents golden wedding. No invitation cards will b«j sent out for this happy event, but Matthew and his good wife want all their friends 10 come and see them that day. It is further their desire that no presents be sent, brought or given. The presence of their friends is wh&t they want, not their presents.and their wishes ought to be respected in this matter.— Freeport Journal. Prt-fty Home Wedding At the home of Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Welsh of Connoquenessing township, at noon, August 22. 1906, o-curred the marriage of their daughter Miss Bertha to Prof. Ira Flinner of North Washing ton, Rev. Geo. Stewart officiating, The attendants were Miss Anna Renton of Pittsburg and Mr. Frank McClnng of West Sunbury. The bride was gowned in mull and cairied white roees. The decorations were white and green and carnations and roses. The bridal couple left fox Pittsburg early in the afternoon. The bride is a popular teactie* in Zelienople and the groom was recently elected president of the North Washing ton Institute. Mr. and Mrs. Flinner will be at homp in North Washington after September 10th accidents. John R Grieb fell down the stair way of the Goehring wholesale grocer}*, yesterday, am', was seriously injured The Gearing store-room has been rented to a piano firm, John was helping tlieui at the time of the accident. W. S. Hunnel, the horseman who was injured in the collision at the fair: grounds on Thursday, was removed to his home at Titusville, Saturday morn ing. Miss .Laura Smith of Franklin St. was thrown to the paving and badly in jured. Tuesday, by stepping from a street car before it had stopped. A pile of journal-bearinps fell on a foreigner at the Car Works, last Thurs day. and fractured his skull, causing his death. "One more unfortunate." A Pennsylvania railroad work train ran down two hand cars loaded with Italian section hands in the yards of the Standard Plate Glass works, Sun day evening. They were hurled in every direction, and Michael Grillo, aged 18 years, fell on the track in front of the engine. The wheels pass* d over his head and abdomen, killing him in stantly. The other men were not se riously injured. Walter Hilliard, aged 15 years, son of John Hilliard, was drowned in Buffalo jreek, at Freeport, last Sunday, while trying to learn to swim with the assistance of a pair of "wings. The wings broke and the boy sank. Charles Hilt, who was passing, heard the boy's cries for help, plunged iuto the stream and brought the youth out. An effort was made to resuscitate him. but to no avail Alvin McChesney, a section hand or. the Allegheny Valley U. R. was struck by an engine, and instantly killed, at a point near East Sandy, Tuesday. A storm came up, and Alvin and several other men took refuge in a large culvert, but they were driven out of it by the sudden flow of water, and Alvin stepped upon the track, in a blinding ram just in time to be struck. He leaves a wife, to whom he was married but a few months ago. He was a son of Wm. McChesney of W. Sunbury, and a brother of Jas and John McChesney of that place, and of Mrs. Clarence Gib son of Petrolia and Miss Mina Mc- Chesney of Chicora. The head-on collision of two freight trains at North Bessemer, last Friday night, caused the deaths of Firemen Brady B. Cole of Grove City and O. A. Deemer of Albion: while engineers Nate Randall of Butler, W. A. Wahls of North Bessemer and Moses Morris of Greenville were hurt, as was also brake man Burke of Grove City. Neither of the engineers were seriously injured. One of the trains was a double-header, which accounts for the three engineers. The collision is said to have been due to wrong orders. The three engines and dozens of ore and coal cars were crushed and piled up. Both the dead firemen were horribly mangled. Their bodies were brought to Butler, and then sent to their homes. A Gila Monster A large, black lizard, with some light pinkish spots on it, is on exhibi tion at Dixon's drug store. It was sent to Clarence by Charley Bell from Tuson, Arizona, and is said to be a specimen of the famous "Gila Monster. Clarence intends giving it to the Pitts burg Zoo. Lightning. The barn of Louis Schroth near Jef ferson Centre was struck by lightning, and consumed by fire, last Wednesday evening. It was insured. Ed. Byerly had a fine horse burned. It had been taken out, but ran back into the barn just as it collapsed. The store building of E. D. Brown at Cooperstown was struck, last Thursday evening, and somewhat damaged. While tacking down a carpet in a new home at Marion, Ohio, last Thurs day, Houswer Denuian, aged 23, resid ing near Larue, was paralyzed by a thunderbolt which descended the chim ney. Mrs. Denman and the baby, aged two years, were knocked down by the same bolt, they falling beneath a table. ' For God's sake, little girl, save me if you can," gasped Denman to his wife With a supreme effort the woman half dragged and half-carried him to the door-way, where she thought the fresh air might revive him. "I feel better, now," Denman muttered, when a second bolt crashed through the roof of the little home, striking him dead in his wife's arms. Mrs. Denman was rendered unconscious by the shock. Both mother aDd babe will recover During an electrical storm, Monday, the cottage of Dr. Hamilton, of Pitts burg, at Sparrow Lake, Ont., was p struck by lightning and almost totally wrecked" The doctor had been up but a short time and his wife was still in bed when the crash came, and although the bed was literally demolished and set on fire in several places, Mrs. Hamilton did not feel the slighest shock and soon extinguished the fire. The doctor, who was standing near a window, was severely stunned. Two men were lately injured by lightning in Mercer county. They were working at a screen door near a telephone. The bolt came in on the wire, and struck both of them. There was no storm at the time of the acci dent, and it is supposed the fluid came some distance. A Funny Hearing Au alderman's office in Allegheny was lately the scene of something un nsual in the line of ' hearings." "She's been a-runnin' after my husband for this good while, an* now she comes right into my own home to insnlt me." This was the charge laid at the door of Mrs. Sn-Lee of Larkins alley, South side, by lfac. Yee-Suu. a very jealous and very angry wife, who resides on Sandusky street, Allegheny, in Alder man McKelvy'* court Tho hearing was unique in that both the women in volved wer>- the Caucasian wives of Chinamen, both legally married, and the proceeding was the outcome of a pitched battle between them over the husband of Mrs, Yee-Sun. Disorderly conduct was the charge, and the Alder man, after hearing both sides of the dispute, dismissed the case A big representation of the popula tion of Allegheny's Chinatown was present at the heariug, including the husband's of both of the women. The tickle Yee-Sun is not a prepossessing Chilian.Hi. —bpt both tho women are ex ceedingly comely. Tfie story of tlie prosecutrix was that Mrs. Su-Lee had come to her house on a visit; that a quarrel had followed, and that she had been vilely assaulted. The Alderman told the two women they had best go home and attend to the washing and the household affairs Mrs. Su-Lee appeared in court carry ing a good looking baby, whose features were more American "than Mongolian. The fond father seemed very proud of his off-spring. Some Snakes. With a half bushel of snake rattles to substantiate their assertions John Hen sel and Scott Hileman employed on a Franklin & Clearfield railroad contract in Jefferson county, at a place known locally as "Rattlesnake Den' while in Qeartield, Pa., this week declared that the poisonous reptiles are so numerous in that vicinity that their ceaseless rattling resembles the buzzing of lo custs. Blasting has stirred them from their lairs. Great difficulty has been experienced in getting men to work on the job on account of the great danger. One man has been constantly employed dispatching the poisonous reptiles. He is dressed in a suit impervious to bites and goes boldly into the dens and lays them waste. Hensel declares that oik afternoon a ton of baled hay was dumped in front of his cabin. All night his sleep was disturbed by the incessant rattling. In the morning when the hay was moved it disclosed 25 rattlers which were dis patched by the snake killer. | Legs of horses are bound with a ina i tcri?l that cannot be penetrated by the j reptiles, asd foremen wear shields on ' their legs and arms the half ' bushel of souvenirs were many that i contained 18 rattles.
