Thirteen States have nominated United States Senators by popular vote this year—Alabama, where they have even gone to the trouble of nominating alternates in caae Pettuaor Morgan should die; Arkansas, Florida. Georgia, Illinois, Kentucky, Louisiana, Missis sippi. Oregon, South Carolina. Tennes see, Texas and Virginia. And Senator Foraker has declared his readiness to accept Congressman Burton's challenge that the nomination of Ohio's next Sen ator be left to the vote of the Republi can primaries. In addition to these the conventions of both partiee have declared for the principle in lowa and Wiscoilßin and in a modified form in Idaho. If the move ments continues to grow as it has in the present year the Senate may find itself reversed by the infusion of new blood gained through the adoption of this measure of getting around the Sena torial veto. Palma and Cuba. ■"v President Palma on Monday put an end to any expectation that he would make any concessions whatever to the rebels beyond the offer of pardon al ready extended. American intervention, the President said, had not been considered, because the government believed it conld end the insurrection without assistance. The President added: "Burners of any action by the govern ernment in any way looking to compro mise or making concessions to the rebels are absolutely false and unfounded for the present or for the luture. It is im possible that any contingency could bring it about" Concerning American intervention Palma aaid; t "That inatter has not been under-con - sideration, because we believe we can control the situation without any out side aid. We shall put down this sense less rebellion by force and we feel amp ly confident of onr ability to do it." FORTY-FIVE U. S. war vessels, as sembled in three lines, in Oyster Bay, L. L, Monday, and were reviewed by President Roosevelt. It was the grand - est naval showing this Nation has ever j made. ( Extending Butler. 1 Butler has become a big town, and < will be lugtr before it Is smaller. It is ! extending in every direction, and will probably continue doing so, and proper ty all about It is becoming valuable. ' —- The Geo. Conrad Schad property, ad joining the town to the north of Mc- Kean St., with a frontage on the pike or what will be the extension of Main St, 53 acres, changed hands, last week, for SBO,OOO, as the deed reads. Dr. Showalter and J. V. Ritts are said to be the purchasers, though the deed 16 made to C. H. Miller. There is a nice view of the town from the property, and the idea is said to be to extend McKean street through it, with a cross street to Main, and to cut it up into half acre lots for building purposes, and make it the fashionable residence section of the town. The School Books. The Text-book Committee of the But ler School Board is supposed to select, boy and care for the books, but as a matter of fart the whple business is left to the Borough Superintendent. He bays the books, and distributes them to the different Principals, who lock them up in the oases provided for them in the different buildings, and with the aid of the teachers, keep track of each book, and make requisition for more as needed. About 10,000 books are in the schools of Butler. in all the large towns of the Btate, however, the carrying out of the provis sions of the free-text-book law requires the establishing of store or sopply rooms for the books, and the employ ment of store-keepers. In Pittsburg, tor instance, 180,000 books were dis tribute d, last week, from the supply rooms of the Central Board of Educa tion at the Fifth Avenue High School. Forty-five thousand drawing books, 45,000 reading books, 5,000 algebras, 60,000 sheets of manila paper, half a million slate pencils. 18,000 rules, #O,OOO lead pencils, 175 gallons of ink were among some of the other items of school supplies that were forwarded to the 87 school buildings of the city and every building had all its school material on hand with the exception of some alge bras, which shortage was remedied in time for the reopening of the schools Monday. Wagon loads were delivered to supply the demand. The use of slates is gradually disap pearing in the Pittsburg schools, though nearly 5,000 were distributed to many of the schools as well as half a million slate pencils. It is expected that event ually slates will be abolished entirely in Pittsburg schools. The quantity of paper used is now on the increase. 8,000 dozen of Pad A (the commonest kind used) is a recent delivery to the schools, with 90,000 common lead pencils to figure and write with. The slate has long been declared unsanitary, as well as unclean. Changes were made in the drawing books, readers, algebras aud in primary supplementary reading books this year, and the task of receiving, labeling and distributing them to the various schools was one of the biggest (owing to the growth of the schools) that ever con fronted the Central Board supply store room officials A text book on drawing is to be I placed in the hands of the Pittsburg school children this year. Sixty thous and sheets of manila paper was the order sent in from the ward schools to be used in lieu of the paper drawing books used for years to sketch the form* 1 and figures included iu the art school I course. No more white drawing paper is being ordered, a dull "grocer's gray " paper being substituted. Draughting pencils for shading at |8 a dozen were introduced last year. As these are so expenalve they are carefully looked after by the teachers and a set is sup posed to last for a long period. Fifty thousand dollars was the appro prtation the Central Board of Educa tion asked of the city this year for carrying out the provisions of the free text book law. This Includes the run- , ning expenses of tho storeroom, for two men are required there. The maximum amount fixed by the Central Board of I < Education for supplies for each papil has been placed at 85 cents. This sum mer the store force had to be increased ! temporarily, owing to the big order of ' new books to be bandied, ss readers and | algebras have not been changed for five • years, and the drawing books now are ' regular text books and had to be label } J like other books for the fixat time. I' The Boggs* Trolley. Contracts for the grading were award ed, last week, and the work of grading was begun this week on the Pittsburg. Bntler and New Castle trolley line. The line was divided into three sec tions, and the contracts awarded to W. W. Kellv. of McKeesport, for the first section of road, starting from East St . Allegheny; Hugh Ferguson the next and Thomas Crossa, the Keystone Con struction Co.. SwaDson Bros, and Thomas & Hamilton have the re mainder. The road M to have an eaty grade, and the cars are expected to make fast time, and begin running by July Ist, 1907. Gossip connects the new line with a through line between Pittsburg and Erie, and of this and other matters a Pittsburg paper says: It is interesting to know how the company effects its entrance into Pitts burg. Several years ago the Allegheny, Evergreen and Millvale Street Railway Co. was chartered to build a line from Evergreen to Millvale. starting its linj? at Evergreen road and East street. The Boggs interests needed this charter to get into Allegheny, so James Bryan, who is the engineer, bought the charter, and, in order to hold it, built almost three quarters of a mile of track, com pleting the work some time ago, and manv persons not conver.-ant with the situation, wondered what was up. By running a branch from this road to Millvale it would give the Pittsburg Railways Co. a loop in the Millvale and Etna territory, and in consideration of the Pittsburg Railways Co. giving the road an entrance into Pittsburg, part of this charter right was sold to the rail ways company, it is said, and the traffic agreement made whereby the Boggs road can bring its cars to Sixth and Liberty avenues, which will be the terminus of the Butler and New Castle road. Deaths at San Francisco. In all, 452 persons lost their lives as the result of the disaster of April 13, so the local health department states in a formal report to the State board of health. Of the victims, 260 were killed by falling walls, 177 perished by fire, seven were shot and two died aa the result of ptomaine poisoning, due to eating "emergency" canned goods of poor quality. Four hundred and twenty are believed to have been white, 18 Chinese and four Japanese. Eleven were less than a year old. The tiguers given relate to the deaths proved to have occurred. They were compiled to June 30. Since then 10 deaths have been reported, making the total to date 452. % The Corpse Hat Up. While a Coroners jury in Norfolk Co., Va., were holding an inquest and taking testimony, Tuesday, the corpse sat up, and rudely interrupted the pro ceedings. , „ , John Harper had imbibed too freely of red liquor. He fell senseless to the road and some one notified Coroner Morgan that a dead body was in the woods. Morgan and a jury went to the scene to hold an inquest. The supposed corpse awoke. •'What are you fellows doing here.' demanded Harper; "can't a fellow go in the woods and sleep off a quiet drunk without being disturbed by a coroner's jary?" A West Virginia Killing. D. William Hatfield, superintendent of the Miners' hospital at Welch. Tues day shot and instantly killed Conrad Woodson, a negro school teacher. Woodson was celebrating tbe victory of Joe Gans, and walking down the street with pistol in hand, swore he would whip any white man living. He crowded Hatfield, who was unarm ed, off the atreet. Hatfield went to a nearby store, pro cured a Winchester rifle, went in pur suit of \foodson, and at first sight, shot him dead. Hatfield is a son of Elias Hatfield, of feud fame, and Is the Re publican nominee for commissioner of McDowel county. A Pleasant Afl'air Was the shower of useful articles visited upon Miss Elsie, daughter of A. F. and M. A. Cochran of Hooker, on Monday evening, September 3, and while the young lady was removing the blushes and shakes, an hour filled with jollity passed away. A quiet wedding took place at the home of the aforesaid, Miss Elsie, on Wednesday afternoon, when she became the bride of Dr. M- O. Pisor of North Washington, the Rev. W. H. Sloan officiating. The couple left on tbe evening train for a week's tour, at the end of which they will be at home to their many friends at North Washington.

Bring baskets. Illnt Near Punxmitawne.v Three members of the State Con stabulary aud one Italian were killed in a battle Monday night, between tbe State police and a number of Italians at Florence, Jefferson county. * A policeman went to an Italian board ing house to arrest a man wanted for shooting another, and was himself stabbed and shot. A telephone call brought fifteen State troopers to the scene, who attacked the house with the above result.

Pittsburg people who want to live well and cheaply get up at daylight, and go to the Monongabela wharf, where hundreds of growers of garden track, (mostly foreigners'assemble with their stuff every morning, and sell cheaj>er than do the neighboring farm er?. One morning last week, they sold red-tomatoes at 3"> cents a bushel, and 1 yellow ones at 70 cents: while the | grocers of Butler were paying 50 cents ! a bushel for red ones that <lay, and were ' not offered any yellow ones. | The County Commissioners of Mercer ' county have issued calls for two ineet ! ings of the assessors of the county to ] consider ways and means of establish ■ ing proper valuations at the coming ! triennial assessment.

Murrin drove, Graham played the tambourine, and the rest joined in the chorus. The two teams traveled bo,'»eward together as far as Mercer, where the Mercer crowd dropped off after receiving three cheers for their Bar, the ball teum, Manager Whielden, and "the whole dam county." A Beautiful Tribute. The editor of the Freeport Journal pays the following beautiful tribute to Dr. R. L. McCurdy, dee'd, lately of that place. "When Abner. the son of Ner had been slain by Joab, King David, in the bitterness of his sorrow, said to his ser vants; 'Know ye not that there is a Prince and a great man fallen this day in Israel.' With a heart bowed down and a sense of loss that words cannot express, the utterance of King David seems fitting at this time. •'For almost half a aentury Dr. Mc- Curdy has lived his life among us and no word* that we can pen today can add to or detract from that life, but as one honored by his friendship, and helped by his precept and example through all these years, we may lay upon his casket the tribute of gratitude for a noble life and love for an honored friend. How ho ministered to the sick in so many of our homes, and when the threatened danger passed, how he rejoiced with us in returning health, we know. When he had exhausted every effort and his skill as a physician seemed not to avail, how he wrestled mightily in prayer with the Great Physician, we know,and J when the summons came t<> sofne loved one, and a dark cloud of sorrow settled upon the ho;ne, how he helped bear the burden, we know These are the ties that bound him to so many hearts atid makes the loss felt in so many honjes. lint aside from these he had qualities that made him honored. "As a citizen he alwayn stood for the right. His voice rung true ou every moral qnestion.and he liad the courage to j/jaintawi his convictions In politics he wa« a at/opg partisan, hut never follow ed his party inindjy In matters per taining to his c-bnfeb. i>u ynH orthodox and stalwart. The old standards were good enough for him and he had no time for, and very little patience with, any new fada. His speech was clean In forty-six yearj Wo have never heard him tell a story or utter u word that conld not have been spoken in the most refined company. He was given to hos pitality and his home was always open to all who came. He was a great Bilde student one of the l>est Bible class teach ers in the iiO M ntry «nd never happier than when with Uia cjass. He was pre eminently a home man and hi# whole life was made to centre aronnil the /'■reside. He did not belong to any lodKes, clubs or associations ontnide of his profession. His home was his club, his church his lodge. mid to tljese he was faithful. To the helpmeet, who for aluiost 55 years has BO faithfully walked by his side and to the children who have been blessed in their fattier, ;ve extend the sympathy of ttie commu nity .iii.! that of one who fells the loss of the truest, i,es£ friend he ever had."
