What is called ''new process" butter appears to be made from rancid butter, which having been deprived of its rancidity by the use of chemicals is then freshened by boiling it in sour milk. A quality of butter is thus produced which goes almost unchallenged by the usual tests. It is very hard to pre vent its sale by any ordinary methods of inspection. The sales of oleomargarine, process butter and other imitations of the standard production of the dairy ought to result in a closer business between the producer and the consumer. The fixers-up of patented substi tutes and other go-betweens should as far as possible be eliminated, not only in the interest of those who eat butter and make it, but as a matter of hygienic precaution and sanitary safety. FOUND $59,000 IN A BUREAU. Browor Left His Family Prepared tor an Emergency. DRAWER FILLED WITH MONEY. When an old bureau at the home of John Arnold, a millionaire brewer, who died at Hazieton, was opened incidentally last week there was dis closed a snug fortune in ready cash whose existence was unknown to the family. A member of the family was mak ing a search for some documents per taining to the brewer's estate, and drew out a bureau drawer in the hope that her search might end there. For an instant she was unwilling to be lieve her eves were not deceiving her. Tucked away in the drawer were packages of greenbacks and bank bills, held down by heavy bags, out of which, when they were opened, rolled gold and silver coin. When the family tecovered from their surprise they summoned H. W. Jacobs, who was Mr. Arnold's confi dential book-keeper. Mr. Jacobs thumbed over the paper money and counted the coin out in piles, and found that the contents of the bureau drawer footed up $59,000. He carried the money to the bank and deposited it to the credit of the estate. It is supposed Mr. Arnold secreted the money at his house to be prepared for any immediate emergency. The find was a surprise to every one connected with the family, as Mr. Arnold was never known to keep any large amount of money in the house. Mr. Jacobs, however, remembers Mr. Arnold telling him some time ago that if ever anything occurred he should look in this bureau drawer, but he had forgotten all about it and never expected to unearth any money. An order was granted on Thursday of last week for the sale of the Natalie Anthracite Coal Company lands located in Columbia and Northumber land Counties. There are 2700 acres in the tract valued at about $4,000,- 000. It will be sold by the receivers. {Weak 1 Lungs I $ If you have coughed and ! i $ coughed until the lining mem- ! !

Mr. Petros who has been living at Logan was engaged in moving his effects to Centralia. In one of the drawers of the bureau was a revolver which he took out and laid on the table. While he was engaged with others in taking the furniture from the wagon into the house, a boy aged about fourteen seeing the revolver picked it up and began pressing the trigger when it was discharged just as Mr. Petros was passing. The ball entered the stomach inflicting a dangerous and probably a fatal wound. The unfortunate man was-taken to the State Hospital at Fountain Spring. He is some what improved, but is not out of danger. He has suffered the loss of much blood. He exoner ates the boy from blame and does not want him prosecuted as the shooting was unintentional.— Ashland Local. Just try a ioc. box of Cascarets, the finest liver and bowel regulator ever made. 4-'-iy Cannot Tax Ball Parks- A decision was reached in court at Wilkes-Barre on Monday affect ing the interests of the Wilkes- Barre Athletic Park, and no doubt will have a bearing on other parks in this Commonwealth. The case is entitled borough of Dorranceton vs. Wilkesbarre Athletic Park com pany. The finding reads : Judg ment not sustained because, First, the ordinance does not fix the maxi mum limit to the fine which is unreasonable, that may be imposed for its violation. Second, the ordi nance is invalid because there is no act of Assembly authorizing a borough to impose a license and enforce the collection of the same upon and against the proprietor or lessee of a private park where the game of base ball is played. Judg ment is reversed. Exceptions of plaintiffs reversal of judgment were filed. The work of plastering the walls in the new addition to the First National Bank is now going on, and in a short time, the building will be ready for occupancy.
