POLITICAL.
The names of Ira McJunkin and J
M. Dight will appear on the ballot, this
year, preceded or followed by the name
"Roosevelt," the Court having decided
against the use of tbename"Republican'
for nomination papers. To vote a
straight Republican ticket. November
6th next, the voter must make two
marks in the party column, one after
the nwie Republican and one after the
name Roosevelt; or yon can make a
mark after each name on the two
tickets, and as the ballot will not be a
large one this year, that will t ike but
little time.
In the judicial district composed of
the counties of Cameron, Elk and Clin
ton, the contest for governor is over
shadowed by the election of a president
judge. For years this judicial district
has been in the hands of the Democrats
and now the Republicans are making a
determined effort to reclaim it. Harry
Alvan Hall of Ridgway, former assist
ant United States district attorney, and
brother of State Senator James K. e.
Hall, is the Democratic candidate and
he is opposed bv Judge B. W. Green of
Emporium.
"Some New York Republicans, know
ing of the deep interest President
Roosevelt is taking in the campaign of
Charles E. Hughes, actually thought
that he might stump the state, and ap
pear disappointed when told that he
has no such intention. If time was
hanging idly on the President s hands,
and if he saw defeat confronting the
Hughes ticket, he might throw dignity
and precedent to the winds and endeav
or to stem the tide. Nor would he lose
caste with any right-thinking man in so
doing, for it would be understood that
the President liad acted only on the
promptings of conscience and because
he deeired to save the greatest state in
the union freni the evils of a Hearst-
Murphy dynasty."—Ex.
At Johnstown,last Saturday niirht,can
didate Stuart made his remarks regard
ing the State Capitol matter as positive
as possible, viz:
"There is one thing I wish to refer to
here tonight, and I wish to refer to it
as positively as I have the power to do
so. Since we have left home on a tour
of this State the question in relation to
the State Capitol has come before us I
believe the people of Pennsylvania are
-wt\mt we should have a
" "WJffWl WJmmeusurate with the dignity
of this Commonwealth, and if the
money expended has been honestly ex
pended I do not think there is any ob
jection on the part of the people.
On the other hand, if there has beet
die oent wrongfully used in the build
ing, or particularly in the furnishing oi
that building, whoever is guilty of that
crime should be punished. I do not
care who he is, to what party he be
longs or anything else.
If anybody has had any graft or has
had any dishonest interest in anything
connected with that matter, he should
be punished. And I want to say here
that if elected Governor I will make an
investigation and the people of this
great State will know all about it. and
if any man has been guilty of wronsrdo
ing I will see that he is punished.
My distinguished opponent for Gover
nor, Mr. Lewis Emery, Jr., has stated
that I cannot do it, that I will not do it,
that I will not punish them. Gentle
men, I recognize no friends where
wrong haa been committed. No man
who is crooked or dishonest can claim
me as a friend. I won't stand for it, I
believe Mr. Emery is an honest man,
and I want him to accord me the same
recognition. I have had experience of
that kind. I bad a very unpleasant
duty to perform as executive of my na
tive city. X made an investigation. I
had not promised that I would, but
when I went into office I found it neces
sary. and the man who was guilty of
wrongdoing was discovered and punish
ed. And I desire to say to you that if I
am elected Governor and anything of
that kind comes before me I will do the
same thing.
I am a little bit positive about this
matter, and I am somewhat excited
Mr. Emery has no right to say that I
won't do it, nor that I cannot do it, be
cause I will. There is no obligation up
on me as a Republican nor as a can
didate of the Republican party to stand
for anything bnt decency and honesty
in public affairs, and no man is fit to be
called a Republican who stands for any
thing else."
TEN thousand lives blotted out, 17
steamers and sailing vessels wrecked or
badly damaged, over t,OOO junks
swamped, turned over or battered to
pieces against the stone walls of the
praya, 80 per cent of the lighters,
launches, yachts, houseboats and small
native craft entirely destroyed, many
wharves wrecked and many damaged
was the result of a typhoon lasting but
two hours at Bongkong on September
18, according to advices brought by the
steamer Empress of Japan, one of the
few vessels to escape the diaster, which
arrived at Victoria, B. C.. Mondav.
THE Presidents order withdrawing
from entry all coal lands now forming
part of the public domain, is the direct
result of the agitation begun by Senator
La Follette at the recent session of Con
gress and the relentless prosecution of
land frauds by Secretary Hitchcock. It
has been found that the vast areas of
valuable ooal lands have passed out of
the public domain by agents of the rail
roads and other corporations securing
these lands as individuals for agricul
tural purposes at $1 2o an ecre. The
Government charges S2O an acre for
coal land within 15 miles of a railroad
and $lO an acre when more remote, so
that the fraudulent entries have been
enormously profitable.
School Notes.
The John G. Unkefer Co. of Dayton,
O , will build our new High School
building on the old cemetery lot for
90(1, (177. and W. G. Eckles, the New
Castle architect who designed it, will
superintend its erection. The building
is to be completed by January 1. 1908.
The cellar may yet be excavated, this
Fall, and we hope the Board has ar
ranged for the saving of those old oak
trees.
P. 8. Since the above was put in
type Unkefer & Co. have praetieallv
withdrawn their bid.
At the meeting of the Butier School
Board last Friday night is decided to
boy 50_ feet fronting on Broad street and
adjoining the Broad St. school build
ing, at S3O per foot front, for play
ground and annex.
llow Waste is Turned into
Money.
Iu a discussion of waste utilization it
is customary to begin with that shining
example of what can be accomplished
along these lines—the coal-tar indnstry.
A few years ago the thick, black, viscid
liquid which condenses iu the pipes
daring the distillation of gas from coal,
was not only waste and useless, but its
removal was a positive nuisauce and a
source of trouble and expense. Today
this tar on further distillation yields a
series of products each of which is the
basis for a valuable chemical manufac
ture. Among these products are par
afline, naptha, benzol, creosote, an
thracene, carbolic acid, napthalene. and
pitch. Basic oil of coal tar is the
source of the analine colors, the various
hues of which are due to the oxidation
of aniline by means of acids or other
chemicals. The utilization of some of
these products has called into being
entirely new industries in the manufac
ture of dyes, perfumes, medicaments,
antiseptics, paving materials, and fuels
It is undoubtedly true that uo branch
of science has contributed more to our
knowledge ot the waste values than
than chemistry, and a very larf;e
number of the great advances have
been made along chemical lines. One
of the most important of these was L°
Blanc's discovery that the treatment of
chloride of sodium- common salt witn
sulphuric ncid, hydrochloric acid and
sulphate of soda. This led to the up
building of one of the world's greatest
industries of today, that of soap mak
ing. which formerly had been limited
to the soda derived from the sulphuric
acid manufacture. Hydrochloric acid,
at first a waste, was soon found to be a
valuable agent in bleaching. Original
ly, however, this use was not extensive,
and it was necessary to employ a de
composing agent to obtain the chlorine
from the acid. This agent wasbinoxid* 1
of manganese: and while the products of
the decomposition other than chlorine
were at first allowed to go to waste, a
complete system of reclamation was
soon developed.
The use of furnace slag, in former
years not only useless but expensive to
to remove as well, is becoming more
general for various commercial pur
poses, and the field for further develop
ment is excellent. At present, quanti
ties of this material are made into
bricks, paving stones, cements, and
used as fertilizer. Slag wool, made by
blowing steam through a stream of
melted slag, is a splendid heat-insulat
ing material. The heat in the slag as
it runs from the furnace has also been
used in various wsys. A good example
of metallurgical waste utilization is
found in the production of pure tin.
good weldable iron, ammoniac, and
Prussian blue, from the waste clippings
of white iron. The introduction of the
gas engine offers excellent means for
employing waste blast-furnace gases,
though these have previously been made
use of ia other ways.
Few indeed are the industries which
have developed utilizatioL of by-pro
ducts to such a state of perfection as
has the slaughtering industry. It is no
exaggeration to say that the animal
slaughtered is used from the tip of the
horn to the hair at the end of the tail
The quantity and variety of the pro
ducts from formerly useless portions of
the carcasses are almost incredible.
Some of these are gelatine, glue,
fertilizers, hair, bristles, neat's foot oil,
bones, horns, hoofs, glands, and mem
branes from which are obtained pepsin,
thymus, thyroids, pancreatin, parotid
substances, capsules, etc.; soap-stock,
glycerine, isinglass, albumen, and
hides, skins, wool, and intestines. —Sci.

State Roads.
According to a statement issued by
the State Highways Department, Butler
township has asked for 86,000 feet of
improved road, which with that asked
for by other districts in the county,
makes 172,000 feet or nearly 33 miles.
"The following roads are now being
constructed by John L. Hanna, Jr., of
Franklin, Pa., tinder the supervision of
State Chas. F. Hamilton, the
local inspector being J. S. Hays of
Butler, Pa.
Five thousand eight hundred feet of
road, 14 feet wide, in Butler township,
extending from the borough line of
Butler to the Centre township line, ou
the road leading from Butler to Mercer.
Approximate cost of construction
$8,899.32, of which the State pavs about
$0,674.49.
3,163 feet of road, 14 feet wide, in
Butler township extending from the
borough line of Butler, including a part
of the Three Degree road via Conno
quenessing Creek bridge, to the borough
line of Butler. Approximate cost
$3,858.50, the State paying about
$2,893.87.
Bids, covering the construction of
5,300 feet of road, 14 feet wide, in
Centre township, extending north from
Butler township line, closed on August
16th, 1906, the only proposal submitted
being that of John L. Hanna, Jr., of
Franklin, Pa., amounting to $11,849.79.
The local authorities considered this
bid too high and requested the High
way Department to re-advertise for
bids, which was done. Proposals will
be received at the State De
partment, at Harrisbnrg, Pa., until
October 24, 1906.
At an average cost of about SBOOO per
mile it will take about $264,000 to con
struct the 33 miles of roads, covered by
the above applications, the State's share
of which would be about $198,000.
The amount of money available for
road building purposes on June Ist,
1906, was $56,820.30. On June Ist,
1907 there will be an additional sum of
$21,189.15 due which covers the 1907-
1908 apportionment. On June Ist, 1908,
the 1908-1909 apportionment, amounting
to $21,187.15 becomes available, making
a total of $99,194 60 for use until June
Ist, 1909
From the above it will be noted that
Butler. County's apportionment is not
sufficient to pay the State's share of the
33 miles of roads covered by the above
applications, and, unless the next Legis
lature appropriates a substantial Good
Roads Fund it will not be possible for
the State Highway Department to
undertake the construction of more
than 16J miles, not taking into con
sideration the petitions for State aid
which mav be filed before June 1. 1909."
Wants to Plead Quick.
"Let i>ie plead guilty as soon as pos
sible. Whatever happens I don't want
to meet thooe women in court." This is
the statement Charles A. Butler, alleg
ed bigamist, asked an officer at Union
town to convey to District Attorney
Hudson, with the request to have the
case disposed of at once as a favor to
him. Warrants chaiging Butler with
bigamy and perjury have been out for
nearly a year and in the meantime he
was married in Uniontown recently to
Miss Pearl West of East Millsboro.
County Detective Alex. Mcßeth had
been working on the case several weeks,
but was nnable to catch Butler until
after his latest marriage. He lived with
his new bride only a few days and then
left her and went to Pittsburg, where
be was arrested and returned to Browns
ville Wives NOB. 1 and 2 formed each
other's acquaintance nearly a year ago
and Ijoined forces hi their efforts to
bring Butler to justice. Gn January
20. 1906, they met and showed iXeir
piarriage certificates.
Wife No 1 was formerly Miss Celia
Duerr of Sarverville. This marriage
took place six yean, ago and there are
two children. Butler is alleged to have
deserted his first wife three years ago
and went south and while employed on
a boat met Miss Flora Ramey of Pen
sacola, Fla., the lb-year-old daughter of
highly respected southern parents, and
they were married April 16, 1001.
Butler and his wife moved to Pitts
burg and while there Mrs. Butler No.
2 learned of the first wife and two chil
dren at Sarversville. Butler then disap
peared and since last January he has
Ueen traced around the world. It was
learned he had enlisted in Company A,
First United States Infantry. However,
on June 20, 1906, he appeared in Pitts
burg, but before he could bo arrested
he disappeared agaiu. He drifted Jo
Brownsville and secureJ work as a de
tective on the Monongahela railroad
and while there he was married a third
time. 1

German Lutheran church was held last ;
Thursday Addresses were made by ■
Rev. E. Cronenwett, and by Rev. j
Werder of Wheeling. In behalf of the j
congregation Rev. Mees, who succeeds I
Rev. Butz presented Rev. Batz with s j
handsome dining-room suit. Rev. Bulz '
is now over eighty years of age and the j
celebration marked his retirement from j
the active misistiy, his successor being j
Rev. Mees, formerly ot Coraopolis.
Rev. Win Ralston has been forced by
ill health to give np the pastorate of the
Portersyille 17. P. church. His goods

their way to Freeport.
Surrounded by scores of shopgirls
who congregated about her during the
uoon hour, Mrs. Kaji Yajiina of Tokyo,
founder and president of the W. C. T.
U. of Japan, gave a most nniqne and
interesting talk iu the chapel of the
First Presbyterian church at Pittsburg,
last Thursday. Likening her listeners
to a garden of flowers, such as has made
her land farfamed as the "flowery king
dom," Mrs. Yajiina. although 74 year?
old, enraptured her audience. She
spoke through an interpreter, but her
utterances were wreathed in such kind
ly expressions as to fascinate her audi
ence. The sprightliness and vivacity
of Mrs. Yajima belie her age.
The Hebrews of Butler are raising
money for a church building here.

New Tool—Wm. Kesaelman & Cc
will soon betrin the exclusive manufac
ture of a new devise which will take
the place of the famous temper screw
which has been an inseparable part of a
drilling outfit, almost since the first
well was drilled. The new device,
which is termed a liquid drill feed, has
passed all the experimental tests and it
is believed that it will not be long ina
taking the place of the temper screw,
the work of which it improves upon
greatly.

Ilenry lieig-hey.
Relatives and friends to the number
of 100 met at the home of Henry
Beighey iu Lancaster twp., Oct. 10th,
1900, in honor of his 80th birthday. It
was intended as a surprise and a sur
prise it w,.s. Despite the unpleasant
weather it was an enjoyable affair, all
entering in the spirit of occasion. Thee
were friends present from Zelienople.
Rochester, Prospect, Aspinwall. Arnold
and many neighbors. Mr. Beighey was
born Oct. 10th, 1820, in Schoenburg.
Alsace, France; came to America with
his parents, 1832, (they buying the
present farm) and lias since lived here.
He was married to Miss Anna ScliilliuK
in 1865. This union was blessei with
twelve children, two children, Maggie
and Emannel died in 1885. The other
children are Rev. John A. Beighev,
Pastor of the Ev, Lutl). church at Sar
versville. Pa.; Leonard, at home; Mrs.
John Kenned}- of Callery: Henry, a
street car conductor of Butler; George,
of the Sanitary Works of Zelienople;
William, of the Car Works at Butler;
Charlie R. F. D. carrier from Harmony;
Eddie, a moulder at Zelienople and Mies
Matilda and Walter at home. Baskets
were brought and a fine dinner served in
the barn. All the children were here
as were also very nearly all the grand
children. At the table a short sketch of
the life of Mr. Beighey was read. Mr.
and Mrs. Beighey also received a num
ber of valuable and useful presents,
which were highly appreciated, al
together it was a great success and all
join in wishing Mr. Beighey yet many
years of joy and happiness.
The Hesselgesser Reunion.
As requested, friends to the number
of about 300 assembled at the home of
Mr. and Mrs. David Hesselgesser at
Leasnrville to rejoice with them that
the 25th anniversary of their married
life had been reached. Twenty-five
years ago, at Freeport, they were
united in the holy bonds of wedlock,
plighting their troth in joy or sorrow,
iu good or in evil days, to be faithful to
each other until death. Twenty-five
years have gone by and it is but fitting
to stop and thank God for his mercy
and protection, and to renew the vows
of future fidelity. The day was ideal
and the spirit one of rejoicing. As
customary baskets were brought and a
dinner served in the barn. Country

To the Notification Committee of the
Democratic Party:
Gentlemen —In reply to your favor of
the ls-t inst. notifying ns of our nomina
tion-fur the offices of representatives
in the General Assembly or legislature,
to be voted for at the election to be held
November 6th, next, we are pleased to
accept tiie said nominations and will
use every honorable means to bring
about our election.
In order that the electors of the coun

tions of public interest, we pledge our
selves, if elected, to represent the whole
people with fiedelity, and will endeavor
to carry out the popular will without
fear or favor and without the direction
or dictation of any boss or pretended
bos-;.
We hereby pledge ourselves to vote
and w >ik for the enactment of a law
nuikir, the maximum rate for p issen
gei- traffic upon the railways within the
state two cents a mile, believing the
same to be a reasonable and fair
rate.
We will vote ami work for the enact

A WHIRLWIND FINISH
Pennsylvania Republicans to Close
Campaign With Great Guns
On the Stump.
SECRETARY SHAW, OF CABINET
Will Be Here, and Speaker Cannon,
Senator Knox and Others Will Speak
For Stuart and the Whole Ticket.
[Special Correspondence.J
- "Philadelphia. Oct. 16.
Colonel Wesley R. Andrew®, chair
man oi' the Republican State Commit
tee, has planned a whirlwind flfiish for
the Republican state campaign.
After several conferences with Chair
man J. S. Sherman, of the Republican
congressional committee, he has map
ped out a schedule of maas meetings
in different parts of the state at which
many speakers of national promineuce
will make addresses in support of Ed
win S. Stuart for Governor and his col
leagues on the state ticket, and for
the Republican candidates for Con
gress. '
The fact that Pennsylvania now has
the largest delegation of any state of
Republican members of the House of
Representatives makes this an import
ant political battle ground, and Presi
dent Roosevelt has expressed him self
upon several occasions upon the im
portance of rousing Republicans of
Pennsylvania so that there shall be no
congressional losses next month.
He realizes that the fusion campaigns
in Pennsylvania and New York are
likely to interfere seriously with the
pfens of the Republican managers for
the election of Congressmen. He
dwelt particularly upon this pbase of
the situation when he had Chairman
Sherman and Senator Penrose at t.j«
White House recently to go over the
general political situation.
The President has requested Secre
tary of the Treasury Shaw to make at
least two speeches in Pennsylvania,
and he may make others, although up
to date he has been scheduled for but
two.
"I'ncle Joe" Cannon, Speaker of the
National House, is billed for two Penn
sylvania speeches, and Senator Rever-
Idge for two. Congressman Watson,
of Indiana, member of the ways and
means committee of Congress, is
amon? others who have been assigned
by the national congressional commit
tee to make addresses in Pennsylva
nia for the whole Republican ticket be
tween now and November 6.
The Stuart Itinerary.
Colonel Daniel B. Sliepp, chief of tha
bureau of speakers of the state com
mittee, has made several new assign
ments of orators to accompany the
condidates beginning tomorrow.

SUcpfivisl.
There \fas elec'.el to the city council
of Chicago once a politician of local
note by reason of liis frank and ab
solute cynicism, frequently expressed,
with reference to reform in politics.
For reformers as a class the cynical
Cliicajjoan had only a contemptuous but
good natureil j.v;t. It is said that on
the occasion of the retirement of a
federal otHceholdw. an Illinois man
who had long fed at the public crib,
some one bad observed to the council
man that the otlii-oholder in question
was reported to have resigned for the
reason that he had tin i l . of politics and
of office. "After all." said the friend,
"Blank's a pretty line sort. Great
church member. lie says that be will
devote (lie remainder of bis life to do
ing good."
"That so?" lazily asked the council
man. "Who's this fellow GoodV"
The Will For (lie lieed.
After Miss Lavinia Cobb, who had
called in her nephew, Frederic Cobb,
attorney at law, to draw her will, had
made bequests to beloved relatives and
friends and to unknown individuals
whom she admired, and had remem
bered her pet charities, she began on
religious institutions.
"Xov.% there's the First Baptist," she
said enthusiastically. "I don't want
to leave anything to the church proper,
because it is the richest in town. But
I want you to put down $l3O fox Mr.
Bicknell as a slight recognition of his
casual service to my soul. And"—
"But, aunty." began the lawyer neph
ew, who had long been striving to
speak.
"What's wrong now, Freddy?" de
manded Miss Lavinia. "Isn't 'casual
service' all right? It is precisely what
1 mean. I am a member of Mr. Mar
vin's church—and I shall remember
him handsomely later—but Mr. Bick
nell's sermons have done me much
good, and I have heard him —well, per
haps ten times in all, s,> I think 'cas
ual service' just expresses it. But if
you think it doesn't or that it would
make trouble put down the legal equiv
alent."
"It's not the phraseology, aunty, but
your cstati'. Yoti haven't sufficient
property to make so many and such
large gifts."
"Oh, I know that as well as you ilo,"
Miss Lavinia said, with gentle impa
tieuee. "I just want to show all my
friends how I feel toward them. You
needn't Ua>k so—so—Judicial, I'reddy.
It's my will, not yours."—Youth's Com
panion.

Strutt's turn came they expected u

A Good House
Leaving a good house un
painted is as imprudent a>
leaving greenbacks out in the
rain. A house unprotected
by good paint cracks and rots
and is unsightly all the time.
Whatever you do, paint!
Whenever you paint, use
pure white lead paint. \ou
