THE Governor has signed the bill
appropriating the tax on dogs o
the Eapport of public libraries in
boronghs.
AN ordinance has been presented
in the Freeport council to prohibit
hens with families from running at
large in that borough.
THE new school law all jwing
teachers their time while attending
county institutes, eays that tbe com
pensation shall not exceed $2 per
diem.
OIL baa been obtained at the well
drilling on lot of Mr. Samuel Mc-
Clymonds, Booth side of town, but in
what quantity will not be determined
for a few days yet.
Tn« Republicans of Washington
county have nominated C. C. Kelley
tor Poor Director. Mr. Kelley is a
colored man and has served a term as
Jury Commissioner of that county.
TUB best well said to be yet ob
tained in the Reibold Geld is that of
Phillips Company on the Stewart
farm, reported at 75 barrels per hour.
This success would indicate that the
limit to that field has not yet come.
THE scenes attending the evictions
in Ireland were not of a character to
endear English rule to the people of
tbe Emerald Isle, nor lead them to
join io the celebration of the Queen's
jnbilee.
THE oil market still lingers with
steady tenacity about the figures 63
—some days a fraction higher and
some days a fraction lower at this
place. At Pittsburg and other
points it sticks at about the same fig
ures.
THE Emperor William and bis son
and heir apparent, the Crown Prince,
an both dangerously ill, and Germa
ny, if not the whole of Eorrpe, is in
a state on anxiety as to the complica

GOVERNOR FORAKEB but spoke the
troth when he telegraphed Mr.Clcve
land that bis order that the captured
rebel flags be returned to the Gover
nors of the Southern States bad given
"unqualified offense," and that "pa
triotic people are both shocked and
indignant."
RUSSIA and England are watching
each other in Northern India,and the
lion is liable to jump on the bear at
almost any minute, The interests of
the two powers are diametrically op
posed to each other, and it is hard to
■ee bow a fight can be avoided un
less one or the other squarely backs
down.
JUDGE NEALE, of Armstrong coun
ty, got the first whack under tbe new
law at unlicensed liquor tellers last
week, and gave it to them straight.
Two of tbem got SSOO fine and eleven
months in the Work House an 1 one
SSOO fine and six months. There
will be considerable fewer places
where the thirsty can get the foaming
beer and fiery whisky in Armstrong
county from this time on.
Tn* Republicans of Crawford
county have nominated John J. Hen
derson, Esq. for President Judge.
As Judge Cburcb will probably bo
re-nominated by the Dumocrata this
will renew the contest of ten years
•go. Tben it wa* said Mr. Hender
son was too yonng, and thi-« with ef
fect. Now that objection will uot
apply and an he is an able lawyer
and a good man we predict that he will
be elected, an he should be in that

FOURTH OF JULY.
An "Old Fashioned Celebra
tion" of the Day Asked
For.
The "Glorious 4th of July" again
approaches, and from all quarters a
cry has arisen for an "old faehioncd
celebration" of it. This desire now
comes doubtless from the manner in
which the day has been observed for
some years past. Tbe"old fashioned
way" has fallen into disuse. And
now instead we have bad the picnics,
the excursions and other small gath
erings. These separated and scat
tered the people to many different
places. And in these social gather
ings the day was devoted to pleasure,
almost everything else than the
principles of Independence announc
ed on the 4th of July 1776. being
thought of. To restore, revive and
bring back the old way is now the
desire all over the country.
The old fashioned way consisted
in all the citizens of a town, city or
neighborhood coming together and
c eltbratiDg the day in a patriotic
manner exclusively. The Declara
tion of Independence was invariably
and always read. Not to have read
it would have been deemed an omis
sion of the most important part of the
ceremonies. Then an oration gen
erally followed, fall of "spread-eagle' -
and patriotism. Then toasts were
offered. These had been prepared
and were read by the person presid
ing at the head of the table and then
repeated by the one presiding at the
foot. This in order that all might
bear the toasts. The table, at this
place, was generally set in a grove
near town, or on the pavement of the
street, iu a shady bower prepared
from the branches of trees, under
which all could gather and be seated.
All passed off pleasantly and well.
No party spirit was tolerated, noth
ing but pure patriotism talked about,
mingled generally with a little pride
and boast of our freedom gained over
Great Britain, as well as some little
denunciation of British tyranny and
wrong.
We are aware that times have
CHANGED and we have CHADGED with
them. It would now be much more
difficult to b ave all the people of this
town and vicinity together in a4thof
July celebration than it was forty or
fifty years ago. Still it could be
done, and should be, as near aa possi
ble at least. People will come to
town, and where will they go? lu
less some general place of meeting is
prepared tney will simply see the
parade and "fantastics" and then
scatter in all directions. If not too
late these suggestions might yet be
considered by the young men or com
mittee in charge of the arrangements
being made for the coming 4th. A
place of general meeting should be
provided where all might assemble,
and get and pay for anything provid
ed to eat on the occasion, which
would be readily furnished by many
Since writing the above we learn
that the best POSSIBLE ARRANGEMENTS
have been made by the Fire Com
panies, who have the matter in
charge, to have the coming cele
bration as old fashioned as possible.
Bredin's Grove,on bill south of town,
has been secured and arrangements
made to properly entertain all coming
to the 4tb.
THE lion. J. W. Lee, of Venango
county, is very favorably mentioned
for the Assistant Law Judgeship pro
vided for by the Legislature in the
district composed of the counties of
McKeaolind Potter. Governor Bea
ver could make no better appoint
ment to that position. Senator Lee
has all the legal qualifications and
personally is very popular in all the
northwestern section of the State. His
appointment would be well received
in this county and very gratifying to
a large number of friends). Wo hope
to hear of bis appointment.
THE people of Oil City seem to
have unanimously agreed to celebrate
the twenty-fifih anniversary of the
town on the Fourth of July next.
THE outlook for a good time on
July 4th is very promising in this
place.
Victoria's Jubilee.
Queen Victoria of Kngland com
pleted fifty years of her reign ou last
Tuesday. This is a longer reign
than most monarchs or rulers have had
had the occasion called forth a Jubi
lee celebration that has been unequal
led in modern times. No such num
bers of people and display of royalty
was ever witnessed in London. A
grand procession, headed by the
Queen and royal family of Great
Britain, and many of the royalty of
other countiee, decorated in regal
and rich robes, proceeded to West
minister Abbey, where the Queen was
seated upon the old throne she was
crowned upon fifty yearß ago. The
ceremonies that then followed would
have to be read in detail to be appre
ciated. Many Americans were pres
ent, honoring a worn in who has
reigned with moderation, lived a pure
life and been a good Queen and
mother. In this respect to the
Queen they in nowise expressed any
admiration for the system of British
Government, or for any recent acts or
policies of that Government, but ad
miration solely for a Queen who bus
lived so long and ruled so well.
W. C. T. U. Convention.
The proceedings of the Convention
of tho Woman's Christian Temper
ance Union, of this county, at Mil
lerstown, on last week, on the death
of Mrs. I)ain, will be seen in another
place. The Resolutions passed by the
Convention, as well as the balance of
the proceedings, will appear next
week, being unable to insert them
this week.
SABBATH SCHOOL CONVEN
TION. £
t
Report of the Tenth Annual Con- i
vention of the Butler County f
Sabbath School Association, £
held at Harmony June 6th,
7th and Bth, 1887.
FIRST SESSION.
Rev. Yates led the devotional exer-
Address of welcome by Rev. Sands,
in which he gave a hearty welcome
to tbe churches and homes cf the peo
ple of Harmony and vicinity ; spoke
of the Sabbath school being instituted
to educate poor children, but now they
are brought to a saving knowledge of
the Scriptures.
J. W. Orr responded in an able ad
dress, in behalf of convention. "How
May a Teacher Secure Faithfulness
on the Part of Scholars?" opened by
Rev. Skinner. Faithfulness on the ,
part of the teacher, conversion of the
teacher, prayer and religious prepara
tion, study the work, earnestness, vis
iting the children at their horne3, seek
ing them out during the week and
talking to them about the lessons.
SECOND SESSION.
Rev. Christy led the devotional
exercises.
"Ways of Making the Work More j
Effective," opened by Rev. Stark.
Have faith in the work, faith in your
selves, and faith in God, study the les
son and believe it.
! Rev. Sandoe said we should not
forget tbe "personal approach,and
> should have faith in the person we
approach. Prayer is a power, but
should be sent in shape of necessaries
of life if need be. We should set a
' good example Be patient and wait
i for tbe blessing of God.
J. W. Orr thinks we are personally
responsible, and should put forth eve
ry effort to suppress the evils Btalking
} abroad in our land ; should organize,
1 have seme system,
j Rev. Coulter: Take a child by the
j hand and counsel him, speak kindly
to him.
r Rev. Nesbitt: Select better teach
• ers and take the best methods of
• teaching. The moral status of the
. teachers should be considered a3 well
as his intellectual qualifications.
"Methods of the Teachers' Meet
e ings," opened by Rev. Stark. The
®" meetings should be opened with de
e votional exercises and the invocation
d of divine assistance in the work
Bible correspondence school would aid
''teachers. .
a Rev. Sandoc: Impress the lmpor
b tance of the teacher's works upon his
e mind, be faithful in discharge of duty
g and punctual in attendance.
i Rev. Prosser said there was too
1 much absolute ignorance on the part
r of many teachers with regard to char
-5 acter of work. We do too much
i- preaching as teachers and not enoogh
teaching. Christ, our example, taught
the people constantly, but we have
1 oaly account of one sermon.
8 H. S. Daubenspeck thought the
e teacher, as well as all others, should
o begin the study of next lesson aa soon
0 as lesson of the day is ended— a good
time for teachers' meeting. Have
6 them remain. Choose a good leader,
" and make it interesting for all.
THIRD SESSION.
Question box.
"How to get parents interested in
the Sabbath school." Ans. Show
them the importance of the work;
interest them through the interest
tbev have in the future welfare of
their children. Get the children in
terested. A little child shall lead
them.
"How shall we impress teachers
with their responsibility?" Ans Show
them the character of the material
and the great danger of runniug it for
eternity.
"Should lepson leaves and lesson
helps lie used in the Sabbath school?"
Ans. (by Iter. Nesbitt). Yes; teach
by the eye as well as the ear what is
the efficacy of the Word of God. It
is the power of God which is able to
make us wise unto salvation.
"If teachers fail and make mis
takes, should tbey quit?" Ans. (by
J. W. Orr). No, never. "Try, try
again."
Rev. J. It. Coulter addressed the
children from the text, "Thou God
seest me." He impressed on the
young that in the dark, in the day, and
at all times God's eye eeeet all we
do; showeif the children how that
God being without form and being a
spirit every where present, knows all
we do or intend, yea, our every
thought; urged them BO to live, well
knowing God is keeping account of all
each one does, that ho will punish the
bad and reward the good.
Rev. Prosser also addressed the
young.
Dr. Nesbitt opened the subject,
"The Bible Estimate of Childhood."
Childhood iB undeveloped manhood
and womanhood ; the value of a soul
is the estimate value of childhood ;
theirs is the kingdom.
Question : "Should unconverted
persons teach in the Sabbath school?"
Ans. (Rev. Christy). Should not.
Gave an instance where a lawyer
taught aud led the whole church as
tray, and the building was turned
into a plow factory. Don't handle
strange fire.
Literature of persons or houses not
connected with the church was placed
under the same band.
"Sould a Christian minister use to
bacco?" Ans. (by Itcv. Stark). I
positively answer, "No"
FOURTH SESSION.
Rev. H. T. McClelland, D D., ad
dressed the convention on the subject
of "Christian Doctrine." We are all
ugreed as to what the text book should
be the Bible. We should have a
well outlined system of theology, stu
dy the text-book, learn what it teaches
and the best way to teach thin to
others.
FIFTH SESSION.
"How to Cultivate a Mibflionary
Spirit iu the Sabbath school," opened
by Rev. Nesbitt, I) I). First, by pre
paring and reading a report of our suc
cesses and efforts in the missionary
work to the Sabbath school ; eecond,
circulating mission literature; third,
have a monthly missionary day devot
ed to missionary work and missionary
addresses; fourth, missionary boxes,
to be alternated monthly until all tho
children get it. It gets up a rivalry
among them, each trying to outstrip
the other iu filling tho box with mon
ey. These boxes are opened on the
monthly day and results published
Miscellaneous business waa taken
up. Secretary and treasurer reported
state of work and treasury ; both ap
proved Tbe followingreaolution was
adopted :
WHEREAS, The State association
having made demands upon tbe treas
ury lor the appointment—
Jlenoloetl, That the secretary be in
strueted to make assessments on the
Sabbath schools which have not paid
at this convention, at tbe rate of one
half cent per member of number in
attendance, to meet tbe demands of
the State association, to assist in the
State work.
Mr. P. P. Kiser was elected dele
gate to the State convention. Invi
tation to hold the next annual meet
ing of the Butler county Sunday j
school association at Millerstowu,
accepted.
The following officers were elected j
bv the association : President, lie v.
S. II >esbitt, D. D. t Butler, Pa ;
Vice Presidents, one for each town- 1
ship and borough; Secretary, P. P.;
Kiser, Barnhart's Mills ; Treasnrer, !
Albert Winter, Zelienople Execu- j
tive Committee, Rev. W. E. Oiler,
Butler ; Revs. E. C. Hughes, Har
mony, R. B Stark, North Hope;
Jacob Dutchman, Mara ; EL. S. Dau
ben.-peck, Bruin.
Resolution passed that the lady teach
er members be requested to prepare
papers on different phases of Sabbath
school work to be read at next ineet
iug, and that a time be set apart in
the next convention ; that the dele
gates from all the schools make re
port of the work in their schools, the
advamages and disadvantages or
helps and hindrances in their neigh
borhood.
SIXTH SESSION.
"Adults Attendance in the Sabbath ;
School," opened by Rev. McCurdy.
There is a lack of something along
this line. The Sabbath school is
more than the nursery of the church;
it is a part of the church—an essential
part. Every one, old and young,
will be l>enefitted by the Sabbath
school. Show parents and adults
their need of it, and that they are
needed in it—needed as scholars,
as teachers, as superintendents; show
them their need of it, that they do
not know enough about what God is,
what man ought to be, and what man
shall be."
"Temperance Education in the
Sabbath School," opened by Rev.
Harnisb. I believe in the scriptural
idea of training up the children.
Train them in the way they should
go. Teach them temperance in the
Sabbath school aa a part of their re
ligious training. There are two
agencies by which they can be taught
the teacher, and the diffusing of
temperance literature in the Sabbath
school. Teach them that a drunkard
cannot be a Christian; that physical
health aud strength are injured by
intemperance. Solomon asks, "Who
hatb woe, who hath sorrow, who
hath wounds without cause, who
hath redness of eyes? Thoy that
tarry long at. the wine; at last it
stingeth like a serpent and biteth like
jan adder." Teach them that they
will not overcome in their own
strength. Teach them the power of
prayer; it is the safe anchorage.
Teach them by our conversation, by
our example, to add unto kuowlege,
temperance.
"Direct Application of the Truth,"
opened by Rev. Chri3ty. Some
truths apply themselves, other truths
need to be applied, as a plaster, so to
speak, to the part ailing. The appli
cation of soma truths carries with it
a painful recollection Tho aaurpe or
fouutain of truth is Scripture. Thy
word is truth.
Question box opened.
•'Should a young man who is a
moderate drinker teach in the Sabbath
school?" Ans. (by Dr. Cuuninghain).
No. Example speaks louder than
precept.
"How can we make our Sabbath
school association more effective?"
Ans. (by Prof. Rhodenbaugh). By
having the secretary prepare a con
denaed report and publish the same.
Much eiao was said, but as our
stenographer, W. J. Houston, of bar
versville, was unacquainted with per
sons, many things were omitted, as
also for want of space.
Rev. J. S. McKee gave the closing
address, urging all to go home and
utilize the good we get at the conven
tions, and make the benefits of use to
others.
Thanks were returned to the citi
zens of Harmony and Zelienoplo for
their hospitality, and aid in the con
vention; also to the press aud rail
roads favoring the association.

Druggists and High License.
A druggist writes that he has been
accustomed to sell sherry as a table
wine to a lady who is delicate, and to
another for cooking purposes. An
aged lady sends to him for a little
brandy occasionally, and a score of
patrons buy malt whiskey and other
more or less alcoholic preparations.
He asks if the new High License law
will stop these sales unless a physi
cian's certificate accompanies each ap
plication. He supposes a case: "E
has met with an accident, is faint
from loss of blood. There is no phys
ician at hand, yet I see that he needs
a stimulant. Am I debarred by the
new law from letting him have it?"
The 01.l liquor law allowed drug
gists to sell alcohol, wine, rnalt liquor
aud their preparations B3 medicines
even when applied for without a pre
scription. The new law in more
stringent. It says druggißts and
apothecaries "shall uot sell intoxicat
ing liquors except upon the written
prescription of a regularly registered
physician. This apparently cuts off
the druggist's sales to old ladies of
brandy and sherry, but there is this
Baring clause: "Alcohol or any pre
paration containing the same may he
sold for scientific, mechanical or med
icinal purposes." No physician's cer
tificate is required for such Hales, and
until it is judically settled how much
ground, or rather how much liquor,
the phras<f "preparations containing
alcohol" can be made to cover, it is
impossible to Kay just how great the
restriction is which the new law
throws around the sales of liquor by
druggists.
AH for the case of the fainting man
who ban met with an accident, there
in nothing to prevent a druggist from
letting hiiii have ull the stimulant
that is necessary. lie cannot, how
over, charge for it. No Hales of intox
ieiting 1 ifjti<>r can lx> made without a
I ice use even for the benefit of people
in a faint. The new law, therefore,
will druggists an excellent
chance to practice the virtues of the
good Samaritan.—l'hil'a trews.
The Personal Tax Law.
There can lie U J doubt of the new
law, of May last, repealing the tuxes
on household furniture, watches and
pleasure carriages. These taxos can.
not now bo collected from any who
have not yet paid tbem for the cur
rent year. To those who have paid
them it seenn there is no way provid
ed iu tfae yew law for refunding them.
This would not appear l<) be equity,
but equity cannot override theexproaa
terms of the law.

Then the chicken, pies, sweet-cakes
and other eatables were apparently
relished with no .small degree of
pleasure and gratification, After the

great-grandfather and mother; as it
. were from the cradcl to the grave."
The Chairman then called on Rev.
Starks to lead in prayer. Mr. It. W
Jamison gave a short address of
welcome on the part of the friends.
Itev J II Marshall was called on to
make the presjntation speech, which
ho did io &n able manner, setting
forth the propriety of enjoyment and
advising the old folks to enjoy them
selves while life would last and think
of that home in heaven. The tpeaker

which were two arm chairs presented
by their children, and the third was
presented by Mr. and Mrs, I'. It

the death of its beloved President
This Convention is assembled under
her call. The preliminary arrange
ments for its meeting were made by
her in her hours of extreme weak
ness and suffering, and her anxious
solicitude was expressed that she
might be spared to meet with us j
once more in this Convention, Our i
I Divine Master had otherwise ordered, j
and at 5:30 on Saturday morning, ;
i June 11, 1881, the sainted spirit of j
j Elizabeth R. Dain entered into her i
■ heavenly rest. Assembled under the
shadow" of this great bereavement,we
would humbly bow under the chas
tening rod of our Heavenly Father,
i and gather around the new-made
1 grave of our dearly beloved sister.aod
with heavy hearts" drop our tribute ol
affection in her memory.
"Even so, Father, for so it seemed 1
1 good in thy sight," mu3t be our first
1 devout utterance In view of the va
! cant chair our departed sister so long,
! so faithfully, so anxiously, so accep
j tably and so lovingly filled. It is
I difficult to measure the loss our Un- (
' ion has sustained in the death of Mrs. j
; Dain. She hud many gifts and j
j graces which peculiarly fitted her for j
j our Presidency. Her tjoblo hoart j
i was full of our work. At home or !
1 abroad, in sickness or health, it was
uppermost in her mind. Her bright,
quick, active mind was constantly
planning to promote its prospcri
ty.
This humble, devoted, earnest
Christian woman went into the chair
as President ol our county organisa
tion in itsicfaacy, when we were but
a handful, by the unanimous vote of
her sisters then in the work, and has
so continued during tho five years of
its exhausting labors, its trials and
perplexities, its successes and re
vcrsesj the central figure around
which we all loved to gather for en
couragement and cheer.
With a matured womanly grace
and sweetness, a delicately refined
and cultivated taste, a polished edu
cation, ail sanctified by Christian
grace, our dear departed President
possessed a rare combination of qual
-1 ifications for her office. Whilst she
j never for a moment compromised a
, principle, slje had tjip faculty of
winning over by love even enemies
to our cause.
In this, our hour of sorrow and sad
, bereavement, we all feel how inade
quately any words of ours eau ex
p press our appreciation of the life and
, character of Elizabeth R, Dain. She
. wil| live in our memory; she will live
[ in our workj she will livo in our
county's history as a pioneer in our
I cause; and most comforting and glori
. QUS of all, she wilj liye "forever with
j the Lord." It only remains for us
! as we approach the depolate homo
, she so dearly loved while living, to
, unitedly and affectionately tender our
i heartfelt sympathy to her lopely bus
, band and now motherless children,
who have been bereaved of all that
. was most dear to tbeii) on this earth,
I and commend them to the merciful
care, comfort and protection of our
, kind Heavenly father, aud to the rich
, consolation which he alone can afford;
, and to placo on our minutes an offici
-1 a] tribute to the memory of our de
[ coased first President by resolving,
Ist, That the Woman's Christian
Temperance Union, of Butler county,
in Convention assembled, has lea r ned
[• with profound sorrow that their
worthy President, Mrs. Elizabeth R.
, Dain, is no more. We recognize in
! this bereaving dispensation our
, Heavenly Father's hand, and hum
j bly bow in submission to bis will,
'2d, That ouf departed President,
during five years administration of
\ her perplexing and responsible office,
p enjoyed the undivided affection of all
I the members of our Union, and so
. ably and fujtfifiilly discharged the
duties of her position as to command
tho confidence, respect and loving
support of our entire organization.
, .'3d, That our teuderest sympathies
are tendered to the Ijereayed husband
and children of our lamented Presi
dent in their irreparable loss, with
our prayer that each of theßi niay ex
perience those rich consolations in
their bereavement which a sympa
thizing Heavenly Father alone can
bestow.
—ln nearly every section of the
country there seems to be a disposi
tion to return to the old time cele-
of the Fourth of July In
the earlier history of our Nation this
day was celebrated with a regularity
and a patriotic enthusiasm utmost un
kuown at present. Instead of being
a day of mere enjoyment, and that
BQi))ctif||eH of no high order, it was
an occasion rOr recalling and recount
ing the struggles, sacrifices and vic
tories of the Revolutionary forefathers
and of again enunciating and incul
cating the principles for which they
fought. It iu time we went hack to
the old custom. While every proper
amusement and sport should have its
placo in tfce exercises of tho day, It
should not be forgotten that the great
and primary object of its pejpbration
to be to lin precis upou the
minds of the present and rising gen
erations the sacred dutiaa and re
sponsibilities of citizens and patriots.
There ia u weal deal of very loose
and trashy sentlmentalisui afloat iu
this country just now. The bound
aries between patriotism and treason
are being obscured by a mist of fine
phrases and uicitly sentiment There
is still the same difference between
them, however, that there was be
tween George Washington and Bene
dict Arnold, and this people should

Col. Redic.
The following is the mannor in
which so eof our exchanges refer to
the nomination of Col. Redic for
Sheriff of this county:—
The Butler couuty Republican con
vention was held at Butler last Satur
day and our former Emlenton cit'zen,
Col O. C. Redic, was nominated for
sheriff. The Colonel ran well in his
own township, Allegheny, at the
primaries having 77 votes out of 115.
The many friends uf Mr. Redic in
Emlenton extend congratulations and
wish for his success at the general elec
tion,— Emlenton News,
Col O. C. Redic, well known to
the ex members of the 105 th regiment,
Pa. Vols., residing in this county, was
the fortunate candidate for Sheriff at
the recent Republican primary elec
tion in Butler county.— Brookville
Republican, June 15.
—On Sunday week last a monu
ment erected by the New York Press
Club, in a plot of ground in Cypress
Hill Cemetery, owued by the olub,
was dedioated. Hon Chauncy M
Depew and Rev. Dr. Talmajye were
the speakers. Tbe latter in the
course of his remarks said : "If any
people in All the world ought to have
attractive entombment it is the jour
nalists. To ninety-nine out of a bun*
dred newspaper meq life Is a drudge,
a grind, an exhaustion and an injus
tice. Once in a while a brain worker,
using voice as well as pen, comes to
adequate compensation or through a
syndicate he command high prices
for liloraty toil, but I know and have
known scores in these cities in a
band to hand fight with appalling
necessity. And yet when the com
munity can get their newspaper one
cent cheaper, which always means
hard times for those who make the
newspaper—there is a paroxysm of
frantic delight and joy of but one
cent saved is liko that of Columbus
at the discovery of America. Dear
Lord of heaven aud earth, make
easier times for newspaper men by
stopping tbe canonization and meta
morphosis and glorification of a
nickle."
—The "oorner" In wheat In the
Chicago speculative market was bro
ken on Tuesday with most disastrous
results to those who have had their
money invested in wind- A number
of tho largest firms were forced to the
wall, aud the losses iu Chicago alone
are placed at six millions of dollars.
What they are throughout tho coun
try, in every city and little town where
fools have been "gambling in wheat,"
never will be known, This sudden
decline In the price of wheat, that of
June wheat falling in two days from
84 to 74 cents and July wheat from
92 to 72 cents was not produced by the
natural causes which should control
the market, such as a decreased de
mand or a prospective largely increas
ed production, but simply by the
manipulations of conscienceless specu
lators. There is no morn wheat in
the country to-day when it is worth
72 cents a bushel than thcro was last
week when It was worth U2 cents.
Prices were simply forced up by tho
gamblers in wind until the bubble
burst. Meanwhile, as in the "coffee
comer," consumers have been com
pelled to contribute to thlu horde of
speculators. While there is reason
for congratulation in the fact that the
couspirators in forcing prices up havo
been "hoist bj their own petard," the
money they lose ouly goes to others
of the same stripo who will use it to
plunder the peoplu at another time
Ex.
--The Governor has vetoed the bill
known as the I'oor Directors' bill, on
the ground that while it appears to be
general on its face it is really a local
bill, only to be operative where made
so by a "vote of the people, and there
fore repugnant to the 7th section of
the :id article of the State Constitu
tion. This disposes of the matter for
the present, and the I'oor Directors
will contiuuo to coutrol the affairs of
our poor for some time to couie.—

QUALITY GOVERNS PRICES IN
BOOTS AND ISHOES AT
B. C. HUSELTON'S.
We don't advertise any great slaughtering sales.
Neither do we buy or sell to customers cheap trash in
auction goods, we don't name three or Jour different
prices on the same Boot or Shoe, don't say we will
give $1.25 for $1.00; price isn't a remedy for poor
quality of Boots and Shoes, a low price is most gener
ally a high one in the end. A house that hasn't the
same price to each and every customer could afford to
offer $2.00 for SI.OO, but the customer would in most of
the cases get 75 cents for his SI.OO, for instance he buys
a pair of shoes at $2.00, his neighbor buys the same
shoe at $1,50, do you see his dollar brought him just
75 cents, and so it goes, humbuggery from first to last.
Why not come out and say they do business for profit.
We admit we sell Boots and Shoes to make a
profit. Oh, beware of those houses that advertise as
though they are doing business for their health or some
other good cause. All you have to do is come after the
goods, &c. This won't catch trade nor hold it, people
are to smart for that in this county.
We are satisfied with a small profit on every sale
and we have the best of evidence that the people of
Butler county appreciate our way of doing business from
our large and increasing trade. Every day we have
new customers say to us, now we want a shoe you enn
recommend and at the lowest price, tired of buying shod
dy goods at no set price. We have been recommended to
you to get a good article.
Cheap Boots and Shoes consists in an honest ex
change for your money, giving 100 cents worth of real
value in wear for every SI.OO in cash. Always giving
customers the very best Boots and Shoes the market pro
duces, hence our large and increasing trade, the intel
ligent public fully realize these facts.
We haven't said anything about prices. You
can't bo governed by prices unless you have the goods
to compare, but will say wo have no high prices. La
dies shoes from 65 cents and up, Mens fine shoes from
SI,OO and up, Boys', Youths', Misses' and Childrens'
Spring IleoU. Mens' and Boys' Brogans Plow Shoes
in all styles and prices, Ladies' hand Turns Slippers,
tho greatest variety. Leather and findings. Repairing
done at reasonable prices.
You won't find such an assortment for the mon
ey in Butler county, they are worth coming a long
distance to buy.
FIIOM the fact of active leasing go
ing on in the neighborhood of tho
Morrison and Albert well in Centre
twp., it must be inferred that oil has
really been obtained in that "mys
tery." It would rejoice all to know
that old Centre twp, was a good com
ing oil field.
