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.

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

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.

CHURCH NOTES.
The largest congregation in Butler. ]
last Sunday evening, was that at the
corner of Main and Diamond St.
Rev. John Gibson of Lowell. M isS., j
occupied the pulpit of the United Pres- j
byterian church, Sunday. While iu
Butler he was the guest of his uncle, J.
11. Gibson of Fairview Ave.
Here's a companion piece for the story
of the little bay who, when he received
a Rift, said "I have a little brother, too."
I asked a lad the other day if he went
to Sunday school. "Yes. sir." was his
prompt reply. It so pleased nit- that
I gave him a nickel.
In the same breath in which he said
"Thank you" he said: "My little sister
goes to Sunday school, too "
There's a boy who'll be rich some day.

Fleeced Goods as fine and
pretty as French Challies, 15c

Very different in texture from
ordinary Fleeced Wrapper
Goods, and so far surpassing
in coloring and design you'll
find it a pleasure to buy and
wear as Kimonas, Dressing
Sacques, House Gowns, etc.
No year ever brought out
such handsome things as are
to be seen in the Wash Goods
aisle beautiful Floral and
Persian printings, White or
colored grounds.
Other new Fleeced Wrapper
Goods here in large assort
ments —two hundred styles —
10, 12 J and 15c
Some not so new but good
and well worth getting here for
6 1-4 c.
It is not necessary for us
here, to exploit the benefits of
getting here early in the season
for Fleeced Goods as well as
all Fall Goods all over the
store as every woman realizes
the advantages to be gained by
early selection. It is sufficient
for us to say that New Fall
showings are here and await
your choosing.
