AND now the weather prophet
alarms us with the prophecy of an
early and cold winter. The squirrel,
the corn hnsk, and other old signs
are referred to in confirmation of the
prophesy. However, it is well
enough always to prepare for winter.
THE Petrolia Record got ofl per

THE Democracy of this State met

WK have received a copy of the
Address of the Hon. Daniel Agnew,
delivered at Bellefonte, Pa., April 28,
1886, and recently published by the

very strong argument in favor of the
Prohibition of the liquor traffic by
law, and, like all other things from
the pen of Jadge Agnew, ia present
ed in eloquent terms.
More And Better Water.
We are informed that the Water
Company of this place, controlled by
the Kittanning Water Company,
have determined npon making chang
es and improvements in our water
supply. This will be agreeable news
for oar people, as the water heie has
not been fit for any use for some time
past. A large well or basin at the
ereek it is said will be sunk, and crib
«od supply mains used, so as to se
cure a larger and better supply of
water here. The improvements are
to be similar to what the Company
have made at their own water works
ia Kittanning.
Reunion of 137 th Regiment Pa.
Volunteers.
The reunion of the 137 th Re/j't Pa.
Vols, at Slipperyrock Park on Thurs
day of last week was a grand affair.
There were about 3,000 people there
present and when it is considered
there was no special effort made for
the purpose it shows how much the
soldiers and citizens are interested in
these reunions. On this occasion it
was espeoially gratifying to see so
large an assemblage and it made the
boys and everybody else feel happy.
After the roll was called the mem
bers of the regiment proceeded to
elect officers for the ensuing year.
The following persons were elected
to the several positions: Col. 11. M
Bossart, Chairman; Lieut. John B.
McNair, Secretary; Lieut. M. X
Greer, Corresponding Secretary, and
Lieut, C. O. Kingsbury, Treasurer.
Another Secretary will be appointed
hereafter from among the members
residing in the eastern part of the
State.
There were ten chosen, one from
each company, as a committee of
management. They are as follows:
Co. A., Lieut. Talmadge; Co. B,
Lieut. A. S, Bates; Co. C., Adj. W.
T. Crispin; Co. D., Serg't J. M. Greer;
Co. E , Lieut. W. H. Cress; Co. F.,
Serg't Grier McCandless; Co. G.,
Lieut, Robert Storey; Co. H., Capt.
R. S. Barker; Co. 1., Lieut. D. A.
Gilleland, and Co. K., Lieut. Chas.
H King.
The visitors from abroad were Col.
H. M. Bossart, Capt. R. S. Barker,
Major Burke of 11th Reserves, Lewis
Walters and Serg't L. H. Scott.
OwiDg to some lack of effective organ
ization there were not as many com
rades from the east as might have
been.
There was one from each company
appointed as historian to give a his
tory of the organization of each com
pany; what became of the members,
whether they were killed in
battle, have since died, and who
are still living, etc.
These proceedings having been
gone through with an address was
delivered Col. H. M. Bossart in
which he took occasion to return
thanks for the attendance aDd the very
gratifying reception. Other address
es were delivered by Major Burke
of 11th Reserves, Hon. J. M. Greer,
Captain. R. S. Barker, Hon.
George H. Graham, Samuel Glenn,
Capt Ayres and others. A song
was then sung by Mrs Thomas
Hindman, entitled "The Flag of the
Frea," which was exceedingly well
executed and greatly applauded. Rec
itation by Miss Ayres, entitled
"Lewis," was well delivered. After
these proceedings the organization ad
journed until evening when there
was a regular army dress parade in
which all the members participated,
and this coucluded the reunion.
The 137 th Regiment requests us
to tender to the citizens of
Butler county who were present at
the reunion, their sincere thanks for
the cheerful and hearty welcome ex
tended to them and which they will
ever bear in grateful remembrance.
The next reunion, in all probabili
ty will be held in Lock Haven, Clin
ton county, or some adjoining town.

Dodging a Reporter.
PAEIS, August 18—Mr. Blaine
passed through here last night on his
way to Germany. lie is going to
visit the principal German Spas,
Carlsbad, Hamburg, Schwalbach and
Badea Baden. His last four days
visit in London was for the purpose
of filling some social engagements
made before leaving Scotland. There
is some amusement in newspaper cir
cles over the failure of the correspon
dent of a Chicago newspaper to keep
up with- Mr. Blaine. He was espec
ially directed to follow Mr. Blaine
and sending everything to the dis
credit of the ex-senator that he could
invent or find. The reporter has
not seen Mr.Blaine for fortnight. The
latter gave him a slip in Scotland,
and was always one day ahead of
him in Ireland. Mr. Blaine is travel
ing so quickly that it is impossible for
for anyone to follow without informa
tion from some of Mr. Blaine's per
sonal friends. The correspondent
passed through London last Satur
day to the continent, still hunting for
Mr. Blaine, although tho latter
was in London until yester
day, stopping at Brown's Hotel, in
Dover Btreet, one of the quietest
places in London.
Ice Houses Destroyed.
The big ice houses of the Chau
tauqua Lake Tee Company at Witt
mer station, on the Pittsburgh and
Western road, were totally destroyed
by fire early yesterday morning.
The houses tnemselves belonged to
Wittmer, Bros. & Co., and were val
ued at SB,OOO. The ice, of which
there were oniy about 3.400 tons re
maining, belonged to the Chautauqua
Company. The ice houses were
seven in number, 100 by 30 feet in
size situated along Piue creek. On
ly three of the houses had ice iu
them. The fire originated in one of
the old bouses which was half full of
straw. Tramps bad on several occa
sions been known to sleep in the
bouse, and it is supposed that the
fire was the result of their careless
ness.
The loss of the ice company will
not exceed $3,000, that of Wittmer,
Bro. <fc Co. will be about SB,OOO

farewell meeting at the church in
that place on Thursday last, a lino
supper was spread, a purse of SIOO
given him by the congregation and
a handsome crazy quilt given his
wife by the Mission Board Ad
dresea were also made and the affair
was a very pleasant one. His many
old friends in this county wish him
good health and great success.
At Last—A Gas Well.
The Board of Trade have got the
gas well business in sha|>e at last.
Messrs. Brackney & Hunt, of Butler,
will begiu work next week, and have
a well down inside of 40 days.
These gentlemen are experienced and
reliable drillers, and the subscribers
to the enterprise can count on results
of some kind before the leaves begin
to fall; and let us hope that the mains
which now underlie our streets may
be filled with natural gas before the
snow begins to fall—if not from a
home well, then from a foreign one.

Talking Over Old Times.
FREEPOUT, P> , Aug. 30.—T0-day
and to-morrow are red letter days for
Slate Lick, a small village situated
northeast of Freeport in South Buff
alo township. For weeks and
mouths preparations were quietly go
ing on for a grand reunion of all the
past and present residents of the vil
lage, the old and young from afn.r
and near. The most sanguine expec
tations have been mere than realized
and for the last few days every irain
bore some one tilled with gleeful en
thusiasm for the happy occasiou.
Orations, essays, reminiscences, mu
sic and well-loaded tables of delica
cies tell the tale of ibe most pleasant
reunion ever hold in Armstrong Co.
Old Grandma Boyd gave a spicy his
tory of the old Slate Lick Academy
which brought forth te&rs and smiles
for the days of yore. Dr. Hall and
other prominent ministers delivered
eloquent addresses which carried the
oldest back to the halycoa days of
youth, made the aged feel young aud
the sober gay once more. Slate
Lick has given to the State some of
the most promiuent ministers, physi

union. FiUtiO u rij Dispatch.
—Republican Bentirdent responds
warmly to the recommendation of
the State Convention that hereafter
nominations to Congress and the
State Senate be made directly at
primary elections or through district
conventions in which the people are
immediately represented. The con
feree system his had its day; has had
more than its day. and should bave
gone long before this. Republicanism
iu the old Keystone State is alive
and aspiring, and demands that the
will uf the people shall be the guide
in all political affairs, big and little,
and from first to last. It it not a
Republican idea to have that done, it
may be in secresy, by a half dozen
persons, which should be done open
ly by those of a whole district. It is
not necessary, however, to charge
crookedness or corruption upon the
conferee system. It is enough to
say that it does not embody the (lis
tinguisbi/ig Republican idea, and
ought to be replaced by one that
does, in the manner suggested bv the
State convention.— l'Lll-lninj Time*.
—A writer in the Metliual I'retfn,
says that a common wart can be easi
ly removed by small (lows of tul
phate of magnesia taken internally.
M. Colrat, of Lyons, has drawn atten
tion to this extraordinar fact. Several
children treated with three-grain dos
es of Hpaom salts morrsinjj and even
ing were promptly cored, A woman
whose face was disfigured by these
oxcreeences was cured in a month by
a dram and half of magnesia taken
daily. Another medical man
reports a case of very large warts dis
appeared in a fortnight from iho dai

—Mr. Josiah C. Watt has purchas

of our best citizens. We welcome

and to tliin place.
Popular Vote Endorsed.
The Republican State Convention
adopted a resolution ree ommendiug
that, in the nomination of candidates
fur Congress and the State Senate,
the conferee system be abolished and
the nominations made either directly
bv the people at the primary elec- j
tion*, or, where that is deemed im
practicable, by district conventions, j
composed of delegates elected by the 1
people, representation to be founded
on a fair and equitable bas'.9, but each
election district to have at least one
delegate. A convention composed j
thus would necessarily ba large, as
large about as a State eouveutiou.
The expense of nominating Con
gressional and Senatorial candidates
after that plan would be too great. !
The plan is not practicable. The |
popular vote plan is familiar, less ex
pensive and, we believe, if a chauge j
must be made, about the best that
could be adopted under the resolu- j
tion of the State Convention. The
conferee system is as bad as %ny plan
can be. It is often a dead-lock; the ;
key of which is an unprincipled com- j
promise or a corrupt bargain and sale
in which the interests of the dear j
people ate sacrificed to personal am- ;
bitionß. The popular vote system
brings the nomination directly to the
people and, all things considered, is
more conducive to harmony than any
other plan yet suggested.— Leaver

To Stop The Drill.
The producers of the Bradford dis
trict held a meeting last Tuesday at
Bradford to discuss the question of
stopping the drill for the purpose of
decreasing the production of oil.
This would seem to be the only mode
of raising the price, but at the same
time is almost impracticable. Thcro is
no doubt that oil must before long ad
vance in price, as territory must thin
out and the demand for it increase at
the tame time the world over. The mar.
ket at the present still hangs at about
the same it has for a month or more
past.
Death of Andrew Burnett.
Another sudden death in our midst
was that of Mr. Andrew Burnett,
which occurred on last Saturday

fore his death.
Deceased had been a resident of

Boot and Shoe Sale
—O F
Fall 1 Winter
—.A. T
B. C. Huselton's.
oooooooo—+—oooooooo
Our great fall and winter sale of Boots and Shoes has
begun, the people of Butler county never saw such an im
mense stock of all kinds, shapes, pizes and styles in any
one house in Butler county, as we are now showing they
can't be matched in Butler county. They are worth com
ing 25 miles to see and 50 miles to buy. Our trade in
creased largely last season and we intend to sell more
Boots and Shoes this season than last. This has war
ranted us in placing the largest and greatest variety, the
best values for your careful inspection that has ever
been shown in any house in Butler county. Our Mens',
Boys' and Cli'ldrens' Boots have been speaking for them
selves all over the county. Our boot trade is immense,
and why? Because we sell the best goods at the least
money, we sell to everybody alike, no three or four prices,
we don't say like some dealers do that a cheap boot will
resist water, or thatjan Oil Goat Shoe will do for children
to go to school, to catchjtrade. There never was an Oil
Goat Shoe made that would resist snow water, it takes
the best of leather to do it—Calf-skin won't do it, hasn't
the bodv to redst. What will? Nothing but the very
best of kip and that we have as you all know. We have
the cheap goods too in Mens' at $1.40 and upwards,
Boys' $1.25 and upwards, Youths'7s* cts., and Childrens'
50 cts., and upwards, will say these are the best cheap
boots in the market—not auction goods either, but straight
goods. Our Kip Boots are the choicest makes in the
market, have tested their wearing qualities for years and
know what I am saying when I tell a customer they are
all right, we don't guarantee cheap boots as some dealers
do to resist water, we think to much of our reputation as
a square dealing house and too much of our customers
to knowingly impose on them in this way. We keep
Wool Boots the best and warmest boot made for extreme
cold weather at low prices. Oil mens' high top boots
four soles with square box and without. Make a specialty
of mens' best Kip and Calf Boots in low instep.
Our line of Ladies'Misses'and Childrens' Fine Shoes
contains the beat styles in French Kid, Curacoa Kid,
Dougolia, Pebble Goat all widths from AA to EE,
Waukenphast, Common Sense :>nd Opera lasts. No one
should fail to see these goods. Will especially call your
attention to our Ladies' line Kid and Pebble Goat button
boot, a new thing with us at $1 50, best, style best value
you ever saw for the money, better than is sold else
wherd at $2.00, very stylish and will wear, selling won
derfully fast,one large lot sold already this fall and now
have a Jarge duplicate order in the factory. See our
Grain Button at 85 cts, SI.OO and $1.25, our fine Kid
or Goat $1 25, our old Ladies' flannel lined Shoes and
Slippers, felt shoes with felt soles, old Ladies' wide grain
and goat Shoes, all these styles kept in Misses and
Childrens' Shoes at prices in proportion.
We make a specialty in Misses and Childrens spring
heel shoes, high cut shoes in Calf, Goat and Grain.
MENS'AND BOYS' FINE SHOES —We have these goods
made expressly for our trade, of French Calf, Kangaroo, Calf and Eng
lish Grain leather, hand, machine and standard, in wide, plain or nar
row toes, with tips, perfect fit, ease and comfort guaranteed to the
wearer. See our mens'fine shoes at SI.OO, $1.25, $1,50 and $1 75,
can't be duplicated in Butler. Our Calf Shoes at $2.00, $2 25, $2.50
$3.00 have no equals.

warranted, Calf, Glove, Grain, Heavy Oil Grain Button, are excellent
sellers. Goods made to order. Kepairiog all kinds done at reasonable
prices. Large stock all kinds Leather and Finding*—low prices.
