BUTLER CITIZEN
IO:i* H. IW. C. NE6LEY, PROP'RS,
Entered at the Postoffice at Butle7 as
second-clcsss matter.
WEDNESDAY. MAY 30, 1883.
YENNOR predicts a cool June, a very
warm July, a mild August, windy
September aud a calm October. Wig
gins, it is said, predicted the other day
that we had been experiencing a cold
May.
ROSCOECONKT.INU absolutely refuses
to walk across the East River Bridge.
He has some doubts whether the
structure would hold him and has no
ambition to break it down.—Philadel
phia Press.
NONE but deadbeats will stop a
paper and cheat tbe printer out of his
pay, because he kindly let the time run
on. If you don't want it, stop it, but
pay for the time you have had it.
Don't be a beat— Parker Phcenij-.
So say we.— Herald. And so say we.
THE gap between New Castle Junc
tion and New Castle, of about two
miles, has been closed by the exten
sion of the P. <fc W. railroad into New
Castle. Passengers from this place
can now go into that place by rail.
J. B. Koiilmeyer k Co, is the firm
name of the new drug store in this
place, kept in the handsqme new build
ing just erected by Dr. Zimmerman,
and of which firm he is a partner. It
is located on Main street, East side
and nearly opposite the Vogeley
House.
Messrs. Snyder and Marshall, the
candidates for the Republican nomina
tion for District Attorney, are moving
around quite briskly among the voters.
This is right, and we hope they may
stir up sufficient interest in the primary
as to cause a pretty good tarn out on
Saturday next.
THE Legislature adjourns this day a
week. It is said there are near five
hundred bills to be acted upon. It is
feared many important bills may not
get through, including some of the ap
portionment bills. Riding around on
free passes is one of the principal
causes for this state of affairs.
GOMERSOLL, the new town on the
farm of Esquire John Smith, in Cherry
township, is reported as improving
rapidly. Some twenty new buildings
have recently been erected for the
miners, the place promising to be a
very lively coal point. A post office,
store and other improvements are being
arranged for.
MR. I. W. FITCH, of Pittsburgh, has
been visiting here recently in the inter
ests of tbe Indiana, Pa., Normal
School. This school is now in a very
flourishing condition. The buildings
and arrangements arc said to surpass
those of any Normal School in the
State. Indiana is a very pleasant
place and more convenient to Butler
county students than any similar school
in the State.
THE Economites of Beaver county
recently sold 12,500 shares of the Pitts
burgh and Lake Erie Railroad stock,
of a par value of SIOO per share, to
Vanderbilt at $175 per share, amount
ing to $2,187,500. This purchase
gives Vanderbilt the control of the
road, which, in connection with his
new Southern Pennsylvania road, is to
be a link in a trunk line from New
York to the west, competing with tbe
Pennsylvania Central road.
THE well known rule of legal evi
dence will aptly apply to the editor of
Eagle-, that is, "if false in one thing,
false iu all." It is easy to deny, but
it cannot be denied that he was un
faithful to his party in the only office
to which it ever elected him. nis un
fairness to a part of tbe Republican
county ticket last year need not be de
nied now. False charges against
others by him will avail nothing while
his own record stands as it is. No
man is believed by others who lias a
bad reputation himself.
PROHIBITION was killed finally in the
State Senate last week, falling five
votes short of enough to carry tbe bill
over third reading. Senator Cooper
opposed the bill because he thought
the people who demanded it didn't
know what tbey wauted. Senator
Stewart considered the submission of
the question to tbe people a popular
demand to which the Legislature must
bow. When the Senator opposed the
bill because he considers it unwise, ad
ded Mr. Stewart, lie assumes greater
wisdom than the people and says, "I
must protect you ugainst your own
folly !" ISut that is nothing for a Boss
to do.— Greenville Mews.
Tho Great Bridge.
The account, found upon tho first
page of the CITIZEN this week, of the
great bridge just completed and span
ning the water between the cities of
New York and Brooklyn, will be read
with interest. The older Roebling,
John A., formerly lived and made
heavy wire rope at Saxonburg, this
county. His son, it will be seen by
tbe account, succeeded him as Chief
Engineer, and has now completed tbe
greatest bridge in the world. Wash
ington A. Roebling, the son, was born
at Saxonburg this county, May 2P,,
1837. Under his direction tho great
bridge, more than a mile in length, has
just been finished. Many of our citi
zens yet remember his father living at
Saxonburg. Although a foreigner by
birth, we lind him naming a son after
the great Washington, and it is an in«*
perishable honor to Butler couuty that
this son was boru upon bcr soil. He
inherited ull tbe great genius of his
lather aud has uow seen completed the
greatest structure in the world.
Republican Primary.
Tbe Republican primary comes off
on Saturday next, June 2d. But little
interest so far appears to be taken in
this election. Tbe office of District
Attorney, however, is an important
one to tbe people. Through it much ol
tbe peace and order, and proper care of
the good morals of society, is adminis
tered and protected. It should, there
fore, always be filled by an honest man
and one of good moral character.
Delegates to the State Convention
are also for the first time to be elected
by the party voters at large. This is
also important and care should be taken
in their selection. Announcements for
this position will be seen among the
announcements for the other positions.
The coming State Convention should'
aDd we think will, make its own nomi
nations. It is important, therefore,
that our county send to it two upright
and intelligent delegates who cannot
be swerved from duty when they reach
Harrisburg.
Guards Needed.
An accident happened on the track
of the P. & W. R. R., near this place
last Friday evening which, although
causing no lofis of life except to a dumb
brute, yet this we think is the reason
public attention should be directed to
it. The cow of a citizen was caught
by a passing train in a deep cut of the
road, from which it could not escape,
and was killed. Moat of the cars were
thrown off the rails and the passengers
delayed about two hours. This is but
one case that may happen unless the
necessary guards or gates are erected
by the toad. So far they have not j
been erected and dumb brutes can en
ter at one entrance to this cut, at the
crossing on the plank road, and at the
western end of the cut also, and if
overtaken must of necessity be killed.
It is a mistake to say there is no law
to prevent this. Railroad companies
are bound to put up guard* and gates
at such places. No company, or man
or set of men, have the right to build a
trap into whicn even dumb ani.-nals
may fall. That there was not a loss
human life on this occasion was mere
chance- That may happen the next
time a train is thrown off the track in
this way. And our object in calling
attention to this matter is that these
guards and gates may be attended to
as the law provides. It is proper to
state that on this present occasion the
President of the lailroad company, Mr.
Callery, was on the train to which this
accident happened and promptly paid
the owner of the animal for its loss.
The Republican Chart.
The pathwav of Republican union
and success in Pennsylvania is so plain
that no intelligent and sincere Repub
lican can mistake it. It is only neces
sary to follow this chart:—
]. Obey new party rules and
make a popular Convention. These
rules require that delegates shall be
elected in the same way as Represen
tatives and Senators are nominated.
They prohibit the old system of pack
ing delegates by County Committees,
and secure, if respected, a free, un
shackled people's Convention.
11. Choose good, strong, represen
tative men as delegates. It is vital
that they shall be the free choice of the
Republican masses; it is also import
ant that they shall be men of character
and judgment whose very selection will
be guarantee of independent and dis
creet action for the common welfare.
111. Make no slates but leave the
ticket to the Convention. This busi
ness of slating everythink in advance
has become odiouß. It signifies boss
rule and it weighs down even the best
of candidates. Let there be a free
Convention of high character, let it
slate its own ticket by its ballots after
it comes together, let it nominate can
didates who meet the public require
ments. and the work will be more than
half done.
IV. Make the organization one that
will inspire general confidence, The
organization is scarcely less important
than the ticket—in somo respects more
to. It will hold the future action of
the party largely in its hands; it will
reach into tbe Presidential year and in
fluence its destinies; and it should
represent the real will of the party as
much as tbe ticket.
V. Accept the principles of the
Continental and Harrisburg ]>latforms
in good faith. The ticket and organi
zation are the flesh and bones of the
campaign—this is the very life-blood.
Public places to be treated as public
trusts ; no compulsory assessments;
no use of patronage for personal politi
cal ends ; such are the cardinal princi
ples declared last year to be the party
creed.
Let this chart be the guide, and
union aud success will be secured. It
contains no new requirements—nothing
but what the party solemnly pledged
itself to last year. Observe the
pledges, and all will be well.—Phila
delphia Press.
Prof. Leason's Concert.
The concert in tbe Court House last
Friday evening, given by Prof, Rea
son and pupils, was a very interesting
occasion. To witness one hundred
and twenty young ladies and gentle
men arranged in one class, and singing
as it were with one voice, in j»erfoct
harmony and under tbe most perfect
drill, was a rare treat. Mr. Lcason is
a master in bis art of teaching singing
and well deserves the success he every
where is meeting with. The Court
House room was crowded on this oc
casion.
"Snow on the Hill Tops."
CINCINNATI, May 22.—Snow on tbe
hilltops fell last night, and lay on the
roofs and trees, to the depth of one or
two inches. Many branches of trees
were broken down. The snow was
still visible this morning, but was
about all gono by 10 o'clock, leaving
no sign of blight on leaven or fruit.
Tbe temperature has risen to 44 de
gree?, but is stili cloudy. Barnum's
show, billed for yesterday, to-day and
to-morrow, was compelled to abandon
the engagement on account of the water
on their grounds.
Death of One Whose Benevolent
Face is Known all Over
the Country.
LYNN, MASS., May 18.—Mrs. Lydia
Pinkbam.of vegetablo compound fame,
is dead, of paralysis, aged <*>4. Her
I face and name were familiar all over
; the United States. Her parents were
I (Quakers and she was born and brought
up in Linn After graduating at the
Lvan Academy she taught school in
Wareham and Lynn. Forty years
since she was married to Isaac Pink
ham, by whom she had four sons and
a daughter. Fifteen years ago she be
gan manufacturing the compound on a
small scale, and for the past seven
years her sons, who took tbe business,
have spent $200,000 a year in adver
tising. Mrs. Piukham was a spiritual
ist. She leaves a husband, a sou,a
daughter and a reminiscence of a calm
and placid countenance.
Down on the Extra Days.
The Beaver Argus is down on the
present method of making laws and
wasting of time and money witnessed
every legislative session at Harrisburg.
It closes a scathing article thus:
"It is humiliating to be compelled to
witness every two years at Harrisburg
such a spectacle of the Mammon of un
righteousness where there should be
examples of self-forgetfullness and en
tire devotion to the interests of the
State. Can not men of probity, ex
{. "ience and intelligence be found in
every county in whom conscience and
patriotism are sufficiently developed to
enable them to resist the temptation of
ten dollars per day for extra days ? To
get such, is tbe only way the constitu
tion can be enforced, and tbe people
should take care hereafter that such
men are elecled."
The Oil Market.
The oil market is stil advancing. It
does not go up as rapidly as the ardent
bulls would desire, but tbey must not
forget that a solid and permanent
market always advances slowly. It is
a good sign to see the market close a
little higher each evening.
There is only one thing now that
will break the market and that is new
wells. The wildcatter is not as indus
trious as usual, but there is no telling
how soon he may bring in a well that
will knock it all to pieces. Barring
new wells tbe market never looked as
well. Production is certainly declin
ing everywhere, and the time will soon
come when we will commence to draw
on stocks. Then look out for higher
prices.
When the immense amount of stock
is being reduced then the oil man's
heart will be jubilant. Until this day
cornea there is not a great prospect for
very high prices. The bear element
can in some way always make himself
felt in the market. The day, however,
is growing bright for higher prices.-
Kittanning Prest.
The Crops of 1883.
The New York Tribune has jus
published extensive report* of the con
dition and prospect of the crops of the
Western States, by which it is shown
that the wheat crop has improved since
the May report of the Agricultural
Bureau. Since the latter report the
weather has been favorable and did
much to advance its condition until
now, while it does not promise the
great yield of last year it bids fair to
turn out better than its condition war
ranted a few weeks since. The aver
age April Ist, 80, May Ist, 83£, now
is considerable better, Tbe Tribune
reports also show that the average of
spring wheat will be largely increased,
mainly in Dakota and Nebraska, and
tbe yield of winter in Ohio will be
nearly 33,000,000 bushels against 25,-
000, as estimated by tbe May Ist re
port, but the loss In the other wheat
growing States will be, light Iu Indi
ana and heavy in Michigan, Illinois
and Kansas. On the whole the esti
mated yield of wheat for 1883 will be
about 530,000,000 bushels, or 82,000,-
000 bushels leas than that of last year,
but Biuce there is still unsold 80,000,;
000 bushels of a surplus of old wheat
the prospect is not so bad. In regard
to corn and oats, it is too early to pre
dict, but everything looks fair for good
crops.
Crowned.
The Czar, Alexander 111, was on
Sunday last crowned "Emperor and
Autocrat of all the Russias." This
ceremony in Russia far surpasses in
splendor that of any other country.
In addition to the crown, uucplre, orb,
sword and other insignia of title, tbe
account says they "anuointcd tho Em
peror's forehead, eyelids, nostrils, lips,
ears, breast aud hands." "The Era
preun was annointed only on fhe fore
head." To U0 here this all is in great
contrast to our simple and plain Re
publican manner of inaugurating our
Presidents. But I'.ussia is not repub
lican yet.

Illustrated History of Butler
County.
llie "llietory of Butler County" which his
bwu the object of anxious anticipation by our
i people for nearly two years, has, at last, been
! completed and is l»eing delivered to it* patroi s.
Ttie publishers, M'-ssrs. Wa triuan, Watkins A
Co., and our citizen* are to be congratulated
upon the successful completion ol the work,
which is a most thorough and artistic one in
i tvery particular. The ability and eorgy which
the publishers have displayed iu their work
an.l the patieuce and thoroughness with which
they have pursued their investigations led us
to anticipate a valuable history as a result, and
our anticipations have been uiore than realized.
They have collected and colla'ed a vast amount
ol material with great care and skill, and the
results are in every way satisfactory.
The work, which i.-> a missive quarto of over
600 pages, including illustrations, is printed on
tine liuteu paper, bound in elegant style and is
a model, tut only as regards au horsliip, but iu
mechanical execution. It is a volume that will
be accorded a prominent pi ce in the library, or
ou the centre tabic, ol its possessors, who will
hand it down to their decendauts as an invain -
hie l.eir-loom.
The gtneia! history comprises sixteen chap
ters compiled under the following headings ;
Introductory and Descriptive, The Hegion
Prior to 17tK>, Land Title Survey, Advent ol the
White Man as a Settler, A Picture of Pionee-
Life, I ternal Improvements, Civil History,
The Hir of Butler County, The Press, The
Medical Profession, Soldiers of the VVarol 1812,
Two Chapters on Butler County During the
War oflß6l-(5, Butler County Oil Develop
ment, County Societies, Statistics, also a chap
ter on the Borough ol Butler.
Supplementing the general chapters is one
devoted to e'.ch township in the county in
which everything ot interest fro 2» the earliest
settlement and reminlscencies ol plon er lile
is faithfully chronicled down to the present
time.
The work also contaii.s portraits of many ol
our prominent citizens, both dead and living,
together with biographical sketches which
rounds out and completes the volume in most
admirable style. The volume is also embellish
ed with numerous other illustrations from
sketches, executed by their special artist, Mr.
F. M. Gilbert, which forms a valuable portion
of the work by giving a correct representation
of the county as it exists to-day. In line the
history is an invaluable production—one that
brief criticism fails to do the amp le justice that
will be accorded to it iu after years.
Where to Gun and Fish.
Peihaps the most practical, convenient, and
complete publication on gunning and fishing,
aod their various auxiliaries ever printed, is
the one recently issued by the Passenger Dc
fartruent of the Philadelphia, Wilmington and
taltimore Railroad Company. Practical in
that It not only informs in concise terms where
the several kinds of game fish and birds may
be sought to best advantage, but how to reach
such places in the cheapest and most expedi
tious manner, including not only the rail hut,
where necessary, the stage and wagon lines,
with cost.
Convenient in being reduced to pocket size,
and in the arrangement of the matter under
different heads, so that the reader in seareli of
advice regarding a certain fjsh, duck, or bird
will liud it iu a special chapter describing ip»
haunts, habits, aud peculiarities,
Complete from the fact that it takes in the
entire peninsula, which contains Delaware and
the eastern shores of Maryland and Virginia,
from the Chesapeake to tltP Atlantic coast,
The kiuds and cost ol bait, proper and legal
seasons of the year, cost of wagon or other
transportation, location of principal hotels and
hoarding houses, and all information, such as
those unacquainted with the country would
like to know before leaving home for such a
trip, have been carefully examined into and
noted.
The book ia profusely illustrated witji cuts of
fish and birds, and afio contains a splendid
map of this territory.

"Well, Pat," said au Orange county Physic

ago, "for that pain in your chest you had bet

can't think this minute of anytiuj; bettxr.
And, by the way," added the doctor turning to
a friend, "I wish somebody would invent a
real good plaster—something actually helpful
for such cases as Pat's. Maybe they will
sometime, when its too late for me to use it.
When BENSON'S CAPCINE POROUS
PLASTER was placed on the markert about

fact. Because of the rare medicinial virtues
