—The best way to clean hair brushes is
with spirits of ammonia, as its effect is imme
diate. No rubbing is required, and cold wa
ter can be used as successfully as warm.
Take a teaspoonful of ammonia, dip the hair
part of the brush without wetting the ivory,
and in a moment the grease is removed; then
rinse in cold wafer, shake well, and dry in
the air, but not in the sun. Soda soap soft
ens the bristles and iavariably turns ivory
yellow.

—The Commissioners of Wayne county of
fer a reward of SIOOO for the apprehension of
James McCabe, who was under sentence to
be hanged May 26th, and who escaped from
the jail at Honesdale on the previous morn
ing and left for parts unknown. A man
must be hanged on the day fixed for the exe
cution, unless the time is changed as provid
ed for by law, and Gov. Beaver has solved
the problem in this case by granting the con
demned a respite. James may yet keep his
engagement with the Sheriff.
—The ordinary street lamps, the ones en
closed with glass, are not a success with nat
ural gas, but tbe open ones, particularly the
cup-shaped ones known as Todd's patent, do
very well. They are a success in more ways
thau one, in that they destroy the bugs and
insects in thc-ir yicinity. These creatures
persist in flying into the flames till their
wings get scorched when they drop to the
ground. Chickens thrive on insects and it
might pay a person who was raising large
numbers of poultry to erect a standpipe for
natural gas in his coop or enclosure.
—The Reibold oil field was the scene of a
heavy wind storm last Monday afternoon,
which snapped large trees, upset derricks
and unroofed shanties. Mr. T. W. Phillips
and a number of other men took refuge in a
shanty on the Dumbart farm, but were
frightened by the falling of a limb of a tree
upon it and started to run across a field,
when Mr. P. was attacked by congestion of
the brain, or a rush of blood to the head.
He was helped back to the shanty and after
wards taken to his home in New Castle,
where he now is. and he is said to be
doing well.
—Last Wednesday afternoon, while Den
nis Mcßride and John Kneeson, of Clear
field township, were in a buggy crossing the
Pittsburg and Western Railroad, near Spang,
Chalfant & Co's mill, at Etna, they were run
down by a shifting engine. The buggy was
wrecked and the men thrown out. Mr. Mc-
Bride suflered a compound fracture of the
thigh and was badly cut about the head. He
was taken to the Allegheny General Hospi
tal. Kneeson was cut slightly on the face,
but not otherwise injured. There is no
watchman at the crossing, and it is said the
engine approached without giving any sig
nal.
—Mr. Palm, of the Western Press, whom
his editorial brethren irreverently style a gos
pel sharp, failed to answer the question of the
sbarpsville A'lvrrtiier as to the first business
transaction mentioned in the Bible. Then
the Adccrtiter man said it was when Pharaoh
receive*! a check on the Bank of the Red
Sea, and Moses passed it. The Press rejoined
by asking if, before the Pharaoh business,
Rebecca didn't give Abraham's servant a
draught wl.ich he accepted? They must lie
short of Bibles over in Mercer. Haven't
they ascertained that Adam and his wife got
trusted for a suit of clothes before their eject
ment from the Garden of Eden? And, for
that matter, didn't Adam subsequentlv fail
in .the Cain-rsising business ?— Frank tin

Fatal Accident on the P. & W.
While some men were switching loaded
lumber cars at Callery Junction last Wed
nesday afternoon, a car escaped tnern and
started on the down grade towards Evans
City. Two men rau after it but could not
overtake it, and on the sharp curve on the
Marburger farm uluut a niile below the
Junctiou, it met and came in collision with
the Express for Pittsburg. The fireman of
the Express saw the car first, and had time
to drop to the floor of the cab. He was
thrown out and escaped without serious in
juries, but the engineer, a man naued Shook,
who lives at Mars Station, was instantly
killed, his skull being fractured and his neck
broken. None other of the trainmen or pas
sengers were hurt. The engine was badly
used up.
Memorial Day.
Decoration or memorial Day was more en
thusiastically observed iu Butler this year
than it lias been for years. The day was all
that could be desired, and our streets were
crowded with people. Tbe two brass bands
of Butler and the Eureka drum corps fur
nished the music, and these, with the mem
bers of the G. A. R., the Sons of Veterans,
the llose Companies, the Odd Fellows'
Lodge, Orphans, and others, made a very im
(>osing parade. The graves of all the soldiers
>uried in the three cemeteries were decorated
and the services at tbe North Cemetery were
impressive and well conducted; Comrade J.
H. Sutton made a good address. The dav
was observed all over the country, and this
unflagging interest in Decoration day, speaks
well for the American people.
—The price of ordinary package coffee
was raised to 28 cents a pound last week, and
a good article of loose, roasted Rio went to
fancy figures. The csuies of this startling ad
vance are stated to be an increase in the con
sumption and a shortage iu the crops of Bra
zil, Java and Ceylon, but speculation is al
ways the half of it. The present syndicate
which is booming prices is composid of New
V'ork, French and Brazilian houses, and one
New York house is said to have already
cleared over half a million dollars on the
rise. Gambling in coffee has run wild iu
that city, and a bag of coffee that cost £l3 a
year ago is uow sold at s2t>. The shortage iu
the Ceylon and J r.va crops is attributed to
a leaf disease, but no reason is given for the
alleged shortage iu Brazil, and there proba
bly is noue of any acoount. A gentleman
who has traveled all over Brazil told m a
short time ugo that the coffee crop of that
country resembled the wheat crop of this
country, and that there was but little varia
tion in it. If the present condition aid prices
continue, the people of this country will pay
many millions more for their coffee this year
than last, uuless they see fit to paralyze the
speculators by discontinuing tho use of the
article for a few weeks.
Ready for the 4th.
The 4th of July, the anniversary
of the Nation's birthday, is our next
holiday, and as fire works are an es
sential element iu its celebration, the
Pape brothers have prepared for it by
purchasing the largest, best selected
aud most expensive stock ever
brought to Butler. It consists of
bombs, mines, rockets, candles, tri
angles. pin-wheels, large and small
fire-crackers, and every other design
of firo-works now manufactured and
of the latest designs. Everything in
tbe market from tbe smallest to the
largest, &Dd from the cheapest to the
most expensive, can be found in their
arsenal, in the rear of Mrs. Pape's
store-room.

lluOKEit, May 30, ISB7.
MESSRS EDITORS: Please give
space iu your valuable paper for me
to say a few words in regard to some
things 5a our midst, which in my
opinion ought uot to bo. There are
dens kept, kept up by men who claim
to be respectable,which are little else
than hells on earth.
A man will get up on a dance,send
out his cards or verbal invitations to
the young folks ia tbe neighborhood to
come aud have a good time, and a
large number will go, spend four or
five dollars thev cannot afford to spare
and possibly get robbed of what lit
tle they may have left. This with
out a single chance of indemnifica
tion.
At these places, although there is
no license to sell Intoxicants, there is
some way for the youag raja to get
drunk and have a row before they
leave. Frequently the proprietors of
these places choose such a tima for
their work as will be most antago
nistic to christian people. If their
should be a religious meeting going
on in the neighborhood and a likeli
hood that some of the yonng folks
may be brought to see the error of
their ways, then these would be re
spectable men will send out their in
vitatious for their dance, to divert
the minds of the young people and
draw them away to these little hells.
Know, O, ye would be respectable
men! "he that converts a sin
ner from the error of his ways, saves
a soul lrom death aud hide 3 a multi
tude of sins " So we may infer th£.
he that prevents a sinner from beiug
converted, may cause a soul to be lost
and uncover a multitude of sics.
Should not such places be dealt
with a.3 a public nuisance? Or should
the butter clas of people lie dormant
and let such places go unheeded.
We believe such places worse than
licensed houses, for they get all tbe
liquor they want and nobody seems
to be responsible. Furthermore we
doubt the sincerity of any professing
Christian who encourages such places
bv attending them themselves, or by
encouraging or permitting their chil
dren to attend them. We believe
there arc persons in our midst whose
children are more often found in ball
room, than in prayer meeting or Sab
bath School.
These places have become so noto
rious that they are an insult to com
mon decency and should not be toler
ated any longer. One of the bad
features of these places is the lateness
they are kept open. Iu the nights
the roughs going home, between
midnight and morning, are in the
habit of screaming like wild animals,
calling people from their bed thinking
the house is on fire, only to be salut
ed by a volley of oaths and vulgarity.
Will some one be so good as to sug
gest a way ot putting a stop to these
things and oblige many lovers of
morality and good order? I hope no
one will infer from thes'e lines that
these places are located just here, a-j
that is not the case, but we are un
fortunately on the line of travel to
and from them and are subjected to
insults from persons from a distance
besides the mortification of knowing
that some of our own neighborhood
are participants in the carousals.

BUTTE CITY, May 25, 1887.
J. H. N EOLEY, ESQ , Dear friend: —
Common partriotism prompts every
good citizen to rejoice in the growth
and prosperity of the different sec
tions of this great country of ours.
As the little rills mtfko the mighty
river so all that tends to promote the
peace, happiness and prosperity of
the community or hamlet, however
humble, or remote it may be fro i the
great centres of trade and influence,
affects for good the thermometer of
general prosperity ic the country at
large. Besides we are enjoined in
the* Book of books to "rejoice with
them that do rejoice, and weep with
them that weep." In this mountain
region we find much over which we
can and do rejoice, and not a little
that might well cause every virtuous,
law abiding citizen (not to say chris
tian) to weep for ahame; but as for
the latter t'were better to "tell it not
in Oath." But if your many readers
would rejoice with the people of
Western Montana over the rich treas
ures that have so long been hidden
away in the mountains, but are now
being brought out to make the world
richer, perhaps they may have the
patience and courage to read a news
paper article occasionally from these
parts. This hope--feiut though it is
—will help to keep up the courage of
your correspondent, while he under
takes to redeem his promise to write
for the CITIZEN. But Mr. Editor if
at any time your sympathy for your
readers should be aroused, and you
should—well it will not be necessary
to do anything desperate, for you
know an editor's waste basket,like his
pocket book, is never full.
By reference to the report of the
Director of the Mint for the year 1885
it will be seen that Colorado stood at
the head of the list as a gold and sil
ver producing State; that California
ranked second and Montana Territo
ry third. The report from the same
office for 1880 shows Colorado still in
the lead, with a gold and silver out
put for that year of $30,000,000
But California and Montana have
changed places, and Montana stands
second, her mines having produced
$17,000,000, in gold and silver. But
the Mint Director in making his esti
mates of the output of the mines of
the several States and Territories,did
not take into account the value of the
copper productions. Montana is rich
in copper as well as in gold and sil
ver. The copper production of Mon
tana last year amounts to over $7,-
000,000, which added to the gold and
silver output foots up $21,000,000,
and places Montana at the head of
the list, or $4,000,000 ahead of the
metalic production of Colorado. But
the good people of Montana are not
llndiutf fault with t-itbtr Colorado cr
he Director of the Miat; they seem
tO think that to have surpassed Cali
fornia ifi the production of jrold and
silver id glorr enough for oao year,
wiiiie it is well kuown that the out
put for thi present \ear v, ill be n:u h
larger than ever before and they con
fidently expect that when the re
turns for ISS7 are :tl! in that. Monta
na will be first on the list and Colora
do second. Yours very truly,
134 th Re-union.
There will be a reunion of the 134 th
Regiment, Pennsylvania Volunteers,

Bloodshed at Natrona.
Since the beginning of the strike at
Xatrona, fears have been entertained
that a disturbance would occur. It
seems that the better feeliug has at
last resulted in bloodshed", and will
perhaps cause a d<;ath. Late last
Saturday night a dispatch from Na
trona gave the startling intelli
gence that the non-union men at the
Pennsylvania Salt manufacturing
works had fired into a knot of five or
six men from Creighton, who were
standing above the depot. Two of
them were struck, and one, a man
named Green, was shot in the breast,
and at first it was reported that his
wounds were fatal. The other receiv
ed two slight wounds. Later inves
tigation showed that Green's injuties
were not so bad as reported and he
was taken to his home at Creighton.
For some time past there has beeu
various stories told of the arming of
the non-union men at the works. It
is said they were furnished by the
firm with English bulldog revolvers,
and not long since it was reported
that they had a shooting-match
among themselves in the works.
The strike of the Natrona mon is
to be brought before the general offi
cers of the Knights of Labor.
NEIGHBORHOOD NOTES.

money, and traveled in the meantime
538,722 miles.
Three express cars, loaded with
silk, enroute from San Francisco to
New York, passed through Meadville
a few days ago. The Tribune says
this was probably one of the most

over the Nypano line. The express
charges amounted to $4,328.83.
