The "button fad" has indeed reaehod startling porportions ; and what was at first senseless but harmloss has become obnoxious. Buttons aro worn by moil and boys which bear not only grossly suggestive but absolutely indecent in scriptions. It is docidely unpleasant for any solf-respecting man or woman in public places to havo these vile mottoes displayed by a "button fiend" sitting op posite. Somo restrictions should bo placed upon the manufacture and dis tribution of these buttons, which are equally as harmful ps were the pictures given away with cigarottos.

Mr. Walter, Sr., has been a life-long Democrat, but says ho can't swallow Iho Ch'c-ago platform, and both ho and his son aro enthusiastic supporters of McKinloy, and the latter says that if McKinloy wins, and he has no doubts to tho contrary, he will send a painting that will discount this one, but that will be pretty hard to do. us llii sample of his w ork with tho brush iscer-K tainly a "beaut."

Tho opening of fancy fall and winter millinery goods which began yesterday and will continue over to-morrow at the largo millinery establishment of F, Waiters A Co., far exceeds anything of tho kind over attempted in the past by those onergetio young business women, Tho display of trimmed hats is certainly beautiful, and the most fastidious "fe male woman" in Forest county certainly ought to be ablo to make a selection. Tho large store room is elegantly deco rated with evergreens and various color ed ribbons, and as you enter the place seems a veritable fairyland. - There are hats and hats hats large enough to hido the stage ql the largest operp house in America, and hats so small that you could hardly find them on the head of a woman who bad a largo crop of hair, cocked hats aud hats that are not cocked, bats that havo boon set on, Jumped on and kicked all to pieces (at least so the reporter thought) and thou pinned up again and trimmed Willi everything from a bumming bird to an American eagle.

A location has been made on a lease held by Tionosta parties near, Cheerful, Clarion county, and tho rig was com menced Monday. A now well is under way on the T. J. Bowman laud on Dutch Hill, near the Briuker farm. This well is being put down by a party of gentlemen who have been given the rather peculiar sobriquet ol tho "Wi..ard Oil Co." Tho Patterson well on the Furnace tract was delayed a couple of days last week by loosing a bit iu the hole, but the obstruction has been removed and drill ing is again giug on. The Tionesta Gas Co.'s two, new wells on Hemlock are expected to liu.drillod iu about ntxt Fiiday. According to tho thriiek's monthly oil report there has been a small gain in the number of wells completed and new production iu' tho Pennsylvania oil re gions dm ing Seiiipteniber. The total for all fields including tho Pennsylvania, Buckeye and 1 lousier oil regions, was 1,000 wells completed, with l.V'70 barrels production and l!o:i dry holes. This re presents a decline from August of :i" w ells, 070 barrels production and two dry holes. Iu thn oil lields of Pennsylvania, New York, West YirL'iniaaud (Southeast ern Ohio lucre were 01 1 wells completed iu September, with 117 of thuiii dry, while Urn in -v production fouled up S,'J ;ii barrels. Compared Willi August, tiiis is an ini-i i ae ol live wells comple ted and siKi barrels new production, with a decrtasu of tour dry boles.
