New Buildings.
It is already known that many
new buildings will be erected in But
ler next Summer, the largest of which
will probably bo the new school
bmldintr and convent, for which R:v.
Noian and Mr.-. Dougherty are eoo
tribuiiag the bulk of the funds. The
i-chool building will be about 67 feet
cijuare, aud the convent 35x70, arid
together Will co->t about $40,01)0. Td»
plans are here, aad are now in the
hands of the different contractors who
are bidding ou thd job. t
The next largest building will prob
ably be that of Esq. John Huseltou,
on his iot at corner of Main St. and
Diamond,bids for which are also now
being taken. It is to be a three story
brick, with basement, and tnmmed
with Berea, and will undoubtedly be
an ornament to the town.
Mr. Wm. Aland intends tearing
down the old building he is now us
inj:, and erecting a two story brick,
similar to the Stehle building adjoin
ing.
Mr H C. Heineman intends tear
ing the old frame between his brick
and Krug's meat market and building
a (>rick store building.
Ot the residences to be erected the
iargest will probably be that of Mr.
Job L. Purvis on S T . Main St. It is

has tae frames up for his new bouse

Pancakes In Variety.
On cold wider mornings pan cakes
oi all kinds hold ait important place
at the breakta«t table. The cherished
buckwheat cake, most prominent of
all, from Thanksgiving Day until
early Spring is seldom absent from the
morning meal iu the genuine Ameri
can household. When properly made
this is the most delicious of all the
griddle cakes, but it has been against
it when made from yeast or risen
over night that it was difficult to
make liirht and sweet, and that dis
agreeable effects frequently followed
its eating It is found thai by the
use of the ll<val Baking Powder to
raise the batter thepe objections have
been entirely overcome, and that
buck wheat cakes, are made a most
delicious food, light, sweet, tender
and perfectly wholesome, that can be
eaten by anyone without the fciight
est digestive inconvenience. Ouce
tested from the following receipt no
other will be used: Two cups of buck
wheat, one cup of wheat flour, two
tablespoons of Koyai Baking Powder,
one-half teaspoonful of salt, all sifted
well together. Mix with milk into a
thin batter and bake at once ou a hot
griddle.
The purest and richest svrup is
made by dissolving sugar in the pro
portion of three pounds of nugar to
oue pint of water. Many persons
prefer the flavor of syrup made of
Orlt ans sugar to that made of the
while.
Rice grid lie cakes are delici
ous. The rice is cooked until per
fectly soft, drained dry, mashed with
a spoon until the grains are we.l bro
ken up. For each cupful of rice take
two eggs, one pint of milk, oue heap
inir teaspoonful of Royal Raking
Powder, one-half teaspoonful of salt,
and (lour enough to msko a thin bat
ter.
For hominy cakes take two cupfuls
of conked hominy, and crush it with
a potato-masher until it is a smooth
mass. Add one level teaspoonful ot
salt,two teaspoonsful of Royal Baking
Powder, and one eupful of fl»ur. Stir
together; then add by degrees one
quart of milk, and lastly three well
beaten eggs. Rake in thin cakes.
Vory delicate and delicious cukoa
are iniiue by allowing two teaspoons
ful o! Royal Baking Powder and one
half teaspoonful of salt to one quart
ot milk, unci sufficient corniueal, mix
ing all into a smooth, thin batter; no
eeirs or butter are used for these
The cakes bake quickly to a rich
deep brown, aud are extremely tender
and light.
A very delicious, sweet pancake is
made bv taking one pint of sweet
milk,lour two tablespoonsful of
powdere d nugar, two tablespoonsful
of melted buttter, one teaspoonful of
Royal Baking Powder, and flour
to make a moderately thin
batter. Beat the eggs, whites and
yokes separately, until **e!l frothed,
stir the butter, sugar, aud oao cupful
iof floor, into which the baking pow
der b*H bc :n mixed, into the yok'*s.
then add tbo milk. If needed, udd
! more Hour. Rake in small cakes,but
ter each on-? as it c ones from tbo lire,
place four in a pile, with very thiu
I layers of any kind of sweet jelljr be
i tween, ai>d powdered sui'ar over the
I top. They (should be baked vory thin
served to eueb person.
What a "Blizzard" Is.
[t is 3ai<l that people who have
never been in a "blizzard" cxi hare
uo conception of one, aud that in some
1 parts of the North-west tbey ore so
blinding »od confounding that people
! have clothes lines running from their |
! houses to their barn doors, so that
they will u»vt iose their way eir
i cums'auces make it necessary to p<»s3
between the two buildings du-iug »
i "bbzzard."
The iollowinp letter from llander
i son, Minnesota, to the editor of the
: Indiana, Pa. Me&tenger, gives tbe
1 best description of a -'blizzard'' that
j %e have yet seen: —'Havingreceived
I several letters from Indiana county
| asking me about the recent biizzud, i
i aud serin? toe accounts in the many
; eastern papers differing so in their j
• descriptions ot it, prompts me to pen j
| tor your many readers a faiut picture
i of the reality:
Thursday morniagr, January 12, j
dawned mild aud calm. A solt breeze
arose from tee south, and people left
their homes iu perfect eouli deuce of a j
safe return. Farmers turned out
their stock to waler wad to exercise
them. Men, women and children
Were away from home alike uacou- ;
scious of their impending fate.
The wiud changes; it is now in the i
north. A telegram reaches us say
ing. "A blizzard is moving southward
at the rate of ninety miles an nour." .
Iu about two hours or near 3 o'clock,
p. m , tbe wild, howling wiud, with >
whirling, powdered, blinoiiig snow, ;
struck us with lb« boom and roar of
a dozen surfs From that time until'
early morning of the following day ;
the terrible siorui raged. The cold ;
became intense. The snow jame in
at the smallest crevices of door or
window. Men who started to their
barns. only a few rods distant, were
lost and waudered bewildered in the
snow. This would not seem possi
ble to persons never having seen a
blizzard. Ouc could not see a build
ing four rods away, aud at two ho'
could not be sure of much but- tbe |
form of some structure before him. !
N»w this may seem strauge, but uote
these facts. One man iu the country
started from his house to go to
his bam; the storm caught
him between the two and
he became bewildered and travel
ed about all evening and at IU p ru ,
found himself iu towu, two miles
from home, almost frozen. The j
school bouse where I am teaching is,
situated iu the suburbs of the town
and when I received word of the ap
proaching storm I dismissed school!
and through the aid of the parents, ;
but with the greatest oifliculty, the j
children were all properly housed i
about 3:30, p m. But none too soon,
for the storm now increased its fury, j
uud you couldn't see see across ttie |
fetreet. Now put persons out of reach ;
of such aid as mrrouuds a town, out j
two, five, or ten miles,uud let them try |
to Gud shelter. No wonder that j
scores perish. We have beard of i
over two huudred. Oue case which j
is a very sad oue. A school mistress
dismissed her pupils during the storm !
aud she, with thirteen of her pupils j
perished. An old gentleman going |
after bis children to brio? them from |
school flouudered the horses in a:
snow drift and all perished Mauy '
scuool childaeu from different places |
were frozen to death, but the above i
is the worst case I have heard of. A i
man by the name of Brown, iu com- i
pany with his ten year old boy, was j
watering his stock at the river, ouly
thirty rods from his house, when the
storm overtook them. They buried
them*elveß in the saow, the mau
sparing all the clothiug be could to i
save his boy. They were found the i
next day; the father being still iu j
death and bis little sou still living!
but almost perished Mauy teachers j
kept their children in the school house :
all night and of course were saved, i
I could recite m iny more cases but this
will give you an idea of it,for through !
this northwest there have been over j
eight huudred lives lost.
Now such are the facts. I cannot
say I do uot know what a blizzard
is. 1 have seeu the worst oue that
has been since 1873, aud no pen cau
fully portray its terrors. For about
24 hours everything seemed to give
way to the reign aud rafje of the very
demons of storm. It. Q. Spknck

Venango County Justice.
Clarion (Pa). Democrat.]
Said a. well informed trentleman of
this county who has just returned
from a week's visit to Venango coun
ty, ' Well. Venaugo county justice is
the most Hugrant example of incon
sistencies I huve yet met. For in
stance, while I wag over there last
week. Mr *. Dinsmore. recently coa
, vietcd of murder in the first degree
was given a trial at Franklin and
found not guilty, in fact allowed to
go scot free. About the same time a
poor laborer was brought before a
Justice of the Peace in Richland
township charged with having stolen
< a cuttiug box valued at $5 from a
neighbor, although it was shown in
evidence that the man had simply
; borrowed the box as instructed to do
. so by his employer and that the al
leged owner had not only given his
I consent to the borrowing but had
even assisted in helping to load it on
the the jury uuder the learn
ed (?< justice's charge, found the man
guilty, he was fiued S3O ami given
HO dajß in Frauklin jail " From this
it would seem that Venango county
justice ,is not becoming notoriously
famous for its uuiformity."

Your Generous Trade
Shows You Like It.
The stores aren't alike!
stores of a kind aren't alike!
every clothing store isn't a
store that sells nothing bat
reliable clothing!
Reliable clothing / why
that's the only kind you want
to buy I Nobody would ac
knowledge selling any other!
But there's * bigger profit in
what isn't.
There's a way to make ev
erybody sure it's reliable ! It'n
no hardship to do it if it is! Tell
the quality plainly ! Give a
guarantee with it. Take it
buck if the buyer gets home
mil is dissatisfied with it! That's
our way of saying to you—
i hi- is reliable!
It's better than a ream of
newspaper words to make the
costomer secure f Undersell us
in prices who can! We'll be
under there, and head of our
business on every other point.
Nearly 1,000 styles of goods
for selection.
