4 LITTLE TIRED.

Enough is as good as a feast, and
sometimes better. The indications are
that this great, glorious and rich coun-
try has had enough new securities" to
last it for awhile. 1t is having difficult
ty in absorbing" or ''digesting' them
There was a decided falling off in No
vember in the Incorporation of compan-
les with capital of 100000 or over,
the total of the month having been but
SIZE. 900, against $5OS. $3.50, 900 in No
vember, 1900. The maximum was in
April, 1901, when the aggregate capital
ization of new corporations was $1,619,-
100000. There is, however, much fuc-
tuation in totals, single big concern
like the "Steel Trust" swelling the fig
ure for particular month Unfortunately.
The totals for eleven months are, for
1902, $3.50. 22S, ESQ., for 1901, $3.50 S55 900;
for 1900, 1925 ,G75,OOO.
Settling day has already come for
some of the new securities and it is in
sight for others. But we suppose that
just as soon as money is easier the Sc
curity manufacturers will get busy
again. 1t is a great industry, and a
profitable one when it is profitable.

Il PRAISEWORTHY EFFORT.

Some of the very rich men of this
country know what is good for their
sons, and they try to make them I'M
derstand that business is business.
Sometimes they succeed. If one of the
sons of James J. Hill, of the Great
Northern railroad combination, is a
thoughtful young man he knows more
than he did. He has been discharged
from his fathers office for not obeying
the rules governing the other clerks
and reporting at certain hour in the
morning. Mr.. Hill, the father, notified
the manager that any one of his sons
sent to the office to work was to be
considered as under the same rules and
subjected to the same regimen as the
other clerks; that they were sent there
to work and not for fun, and they
were expected to learn the business un-
der the same conditions as the others.
AS the young man repeatedly violated
the rules he. was fired"
Mr.. Hill is a sensible father, even if
the son above referred to doesn't fully
take after" him. Proba bly, the young
man doesn't look upon his discharge
as seriously as he ought to, and per-
haps he will never discover what he
ought to. But it is evident that his
father is trying to start him right, and
he will show that he is wise son if
he takes the gentle hint that has been
given him.

1t is said that to DR.. Winkler, a law
yer of Lucerne, Switzerland, belongs
the honor of having settled what is
probably the longest lawsuit in the his
tory of any country. Since 1870 a
boundary dispute has been going on be-
tween Hungary and Galicia. The area
in dispute is a tract of land about sew
enty miles south of Cracow, owned
partly by Prince Hohenlohe, a Ger
man, and Count Zamoyski, an exiled
Polish noble from Posen. This dis
pute Of five hundred years duration
has led to much bitter feeling in the
neighborhood, as both Hungarians and
Poles have hotly contested the question
and loudly asserted their claims. The
arbitrator has decided in favor Of the
Galician claim, and allows Hungary
only twenty acres to straighten her
boundary.

to the State department how the sar-

Sound within year. Last year some
eastern men were visiting there, saw
the small fish that abounded in the

the usual way as an experiment. The
result was the establishment at Port
Townsend of a cannery, the output of
which in the past year was $4,000 cases.

A CARD.
BUTLER, Pa, Sept. 80, 1901.


To the Editor of the Butler CITIZEN.
My dear sir:-I deem it proper with
your kind permission to express through
the columns of your valued paper my
appreciation of the support the Repub-
lIcans of Butler county have always
given me, and to say that / am pro-
foundly grateful.
In the recent contest for the nomina-
ton for Congress in the district | did
what l believed was for the best inter
ests of the party and county.
After successful contest in the
Dauphin county Court, in which the
rights of the county were vindicated. l
was compelled to yield all personal in
terests and, for the good of the party,
ask my conferees to vote for the nonIi-
nation of Col. Huff.
Col Huff refused to meet me in COR
ference. His attorneys had advised nm
that no legal nomination could be made;
that the time was too short to convene
the two County Committees to adopt a
rule; that no nomination could be made
without first having rule; hence there
was no use in our meeting in conference
He declared his determination to take
out nomination papers.

could not force him to meet me.
did not want to see the district lost.
so there was nothing / could honorably
do except to say l would nominate him.
/ told him this on Monday night, the
last night on which nomination could
be made. Then his attorneys, instead
of insisting that we could not make
legal nomination, Immediately changed
their tactics and commenced to devise a
plan under which the nomination could
be legally made. think 1t due me to
make this statement as the dispatch
from Greensburg to the Pittsburg pa
pers and which was copied in the But
Ter papers was erroneous. | did not
state to the conference that l had felt
the pulse Of the two counties and had
found the sentiment generally for Col.
Huff. Such a statement would have
been false, as had beyond question of
doubt the sympathy and good wishes
of every loyal Republican in Butler
county. l did state that 1 was a true
Republican and was desirous of the
election of Republican from the dis
trict and that as the equities were with
Westmoreland l would yield and would
support Col. Huff.
The truth is l had received assuran-
ces Of support from Westmoreland
county sufficient, in the opinion of
many, to have warranted me in contin-
uing in the race with bright prospects
of success in that county, and of the
honest hearty, loyal support of Butler
county, would never permit doubt
In conclusion l ask my friends, one
and all. to Loyalty support the ticket
from top to bottom.
We have good ticket-every man on
it is deserving of and entitled to the
active support and influence of every
Republican voter. Let us see to it that
they have it.
Very sincerely your friend,

The Division of Butler.

At the session of Court. Monday, with
Judges Miller and Greer presiding, the
scheme to divide Butler into election
precincts was consummated. There
was but little objection to the division
of the First and Second wards, except
ing as to the inopportune time, for they
have been polling large vote for some
years; but as to the Third ward which
has heretofore been the smallest in pop
ulation in the town, and into which
there has lately come large number of
outsiders, negroes and dagoes, strenuous
objections to its division at this time
and to the appointment of strangers on
the boards were made.
On Monday Attorney Vanderlin with
drew the petition as to Butler twp. and
made an argument in favor of dividing
the three wards. He was answered by
Attorney T. G.. Campbell who presented
numerously signed petitions of the three
wards in question, protesting against
the division Just on the eve of an election,
also petition signed by 40 members of
the Bar. H. a. Goucher stated that
there were five election booths for each
of the wards, which multiplied by 720
minutes in the voting day, made 5000
minutes, which would allow the legal
allotment, minutes, for 1900 voters,
thus showing the lack of foundation for
Vanderlins argument John NJ
Thompson, A. NJ. Christley, R. P. Scott
and A. g. Williams also spoke against
division. But it was evident from the
remarks interspersed by Judge Miller,
that he was bound to divide, and divide
he did
The First and Second wards were di-
vided as per the original petitions,
while the Third was divided into three
precincts, as follows:
1st, all territory south of the creek );
voting place, house of Mary Z. Covert,
now owned by brewing company
election officers, judge, W. J. Marks,
inspectors, Geo. G. Beihl and Chas
Roessing. Second precinct, all territory
north of the creek and east of Sullivan's
run; voting place. court house; election
officers, Judge, Joseph J. Elliott, in
spectors George McCandless and Lewis
Sheiring. Third precinct, west Of Sui
livan's run and north of creek; voting
place. George Stamms house; election
officers, Judge. George G. Pillow.
Inspectors were not appointed for the
last named (the Car Works. district and
it remains to be seen whether any
Dunkeys or O'Reilleys from thelord-
knowswhere are put on.
This adds four new election districts
to the county at an annual expense of
about $500, and at the same session of
Court petition for the division of the
Fifth ward was presented.
The First Warders will hereafter vote
at Victor Bayonette's store, and at the
old place; the I'd warders at John Flani-
ganTs carpet weaving shop on Carbon
ST. and at the old place; and the Sd
warders at the Court House; the former
Coovert residence on Negley Ave. and
at Geo. Stamm's and an order was made
on the County Commissioners to furnish
booths, duplicate registry lists, etc.
Same day Winfield twp. was divided
as petitioned for; the election place for
the new district to be the house of
Henry Post IN West Winfield, with
Craig Smith, Michael Yoe and j. Frank
Ewing as the election board.
