county, testified before Esq. Keck. Wilbur
was a playmate of the real Annie Fish,hail
been to see Ada Sciiton ill jail here, did
not recognize her and did not think it was
her.

a short, heavy set girl, two yearn ago, ami
she could not recognize this jrirl as being
her.

of the matter by having the girl brought
before him, and discharging her. She has
been helping in Col. Redic's kitchen for
the past days, and ho says she is the be.it
girl they have ever had.

oldest Republican paper of the county
That "Absurd" Market House.
"A wild suggestion comes from the
CITIZEN, which for inten c originality and
concentrated absurdity de erves a leather
medal. That enterprising journal prop" <•
that the County Commit-doners erect a
market house on Diamond l'ark. with a
cellar for the storing of onions and cab
tinges. The county has as much use for a
market house as it has for a daughter
honse. a pig pen or a soap factory—
just as much, no more; and it has the
same need of any or all of these in Butler
that it ha- in any other town in the county
—no "more. If the people of this town
want a market house, it is their own all air.
a matter of municipal control, expense and
revenue. But they would not. it they had
the power, degrade to the purpose ot a
corner grocery the only public pot which
the place contains that can he devoted t >
ornameut.il use Let the little l'ark be
made a thing of beauty, upon which the
eye of the citizen of the town or county
and those of his wife and children may rest
with pleasure, but sell apple butter and
auer-krunt and store potatoes and turnips
somewhere else."
The above is from the local column of
the Em/It of last week and is -in lOirm-'.ul
ly vigorous language for the Professor to
use as to make one fear that it was inspired
by a dose of the new elixir.
The people of this town need a market
hone, need one badly, as badly as our
esteemed contemporary .needs a local
editor who will occasionally throw an
"intensely original" idea, no matter how
"concentratedly absurd," into the inn - of
inanity that usually till it- columns; and
as for location the Diamond is the only
square n°ar the feiitrc of population, left
open for it.
A market house here would work to the
advantage of the farmers of nearly the en
tire county, it would induce many who do
not. now think of Butler as a market to
come here, it would put an end to the
necessity for street peddling, the compari
son and the competition there would en
courage them to raise the best, they would
get their cash on delivery, and would have
a place to store their surplus.
To the town people it presents the at
traction of fresh produce on market days,
pick and choice without traveling from one
end of the town to the other, and a reliable
supply.
A market house properly managed i • a
profitable institution to the owners, and as
the county owns the best place in the town
for it, we see no reason why it- should not
hnild it, —excepting as we stated in the
item that the l'rofessor jumped 011 -o
furiously,—that there is at present no law
for it. There is law for the building of
market houses by cities. It looks now i
though Butler would be a city in the near
future, and then she can build a inarki I
house in some out oi the way place and
perhaps force people to patronize it by pro
hibiting street peddling, as has been done
by some of the town of the Kasteni part of
State. If built by the county, everybody
in the county would feel the same pro
prietorship in it thai they do in the Court
House, and it would be controlled in the
interest of all, therefore we are in favor of
a law authorizing the erection of market
houses by the County Commissioners.

from their rejrnlar stock in their stores, and
not imported as "show piece-." or Fabrics

that for the departments of the store repre

experience of more than the usual order

and able manner of draping. triinminp and

to i/o to Rofrp- Buhl's, in Allegheny.
They have built up their immense business,
ainountiiig to millinns, annually, by selling
only the best goods at snch low prices—so
much lower than the average "so-called
largest and be t dry goods store.-," that
their business grows steadily each suc
cessive season. They do one of, it not the
largest Mail Order Department business in
the country, and you can shop by mail
with I hem, petting goods from them at the
Mime low prices as sold over their counters.
Explanation.
We have been telling you all summer
how wc began the buggy business nine
years ago, aud now probably you would
like to know how we are succeeding. We
will tell you. First we like to tell it be
cause it did so much for our fellow citi
zens. aud eeond. because it hits placed us
in the foremost rank among the large
dealers in this great Stale of ours. We
believe we have the largest wholesale
trade, and are confident we have the lar
gest retail trade also. To give you au
idea, our Mr. Lieghner has just returned
front X. Y. State, where lie contracted to
have twenty-five thousand dollars worth of
one kind uf carts made; this we believe is
Ihe largest, deal of the kind ever made in
the State, .lust think ol it. .i"-!."MMHi worth
of one kind of road carts, aud then think of
the many other kinds we are handling.
Vou would naturally ask. "Where do they
go?" We could not tell you here, the
freight agents at the different depots could
give vou some idea, but they go. One
Ihiug you may be certain 01, that it's not
buying tlnir and ..filing liii/h that makes
them go. Then think of the number of
Dnggies, Wagons, Harness. Ac., that we
sell; it would scare VOU lo tell you the
amount we have sold since last January.
Vou ask again, how does it come. Can't
others buy for cash too aud sell just as
cheap as you do? We answer: We use our
own capital; we pay no rent; we have not
bought a bill in 9 years, that we did dis
count. You see we make this a business
exclusively and are laige dealers, the ad
vantage you will understand in an instant
. when we tell you. According to agree
ment among c.irriagc manufacturers the
price is uniform on same grades of work,
but purchasers of SO jolts or wore. get a dis
count ol 3 per cent; purchasers of 100 jolts
or more get a dis count ofs percent, and
purchasers of 300 jobs or more get a dis
cotiut itf 10 per cent, which is the largest
discount allowed any dealer, and as we
liny more than 300 you see we can sell you
work at the same price small dealers pay,
and still have a profit of 10 per cent. Now
fellow citizens we are perfectly willing to
give you the benefit of our advantage in
the market, for it i> your jinlrouage that
helps us. and it is only right that while you
stand with us we should not betray your
confidence, and we won't. Remember we
are here all the time, our word is as good
as gold. You know what you are getting
every time we tell 3-011 plainly. We have
all kinds, the cheapest and the very best,
so can just suit you; we don't try to get
rich oil' one customer. We never mis
represent. Call and see us, whether you
want to buy or not.

Right This Way h
The finger of fortune beckons you and di
rects von to the man, the store and the
stock that will more than any other help
you to lay the foundation of a fortune in
money saved. Heck is the man of whom
everybody says that he has no equal for ' .^JT
prices relative to value of goods. It's a
fact. Buyers can save money on every
trade, if they buy of Heck. Onr hired girl
says that every place she worked the people
all traded with Heck, that be always carries J\
the largest stock to select from, the best Af 49
goods and lowest prices. She may be giv
ing us taffy, but there is such a look of can
dor about her, an expression of modest
truthfulness which forbids to doubt that sbe ——
expresses the fiopular sentiment, bat if yoa have any dosht aboat ths sstti
wo haven't. Why? Because we buy tbe largest stock at the lowest tgsras
We buy for rash and sell for cash. We are able to save yoa SOMT sa cash
sales, because you enable us to save money by caah purchases: ss ths piss Is
as good for you as for us. Secondly, we mean business. We seek the
golden mean; lurgest values, lowest prices. We ase all hossst msass Is wis
custom and to keep it Now we extend as invitation to the psopls of ths
world to come and examine tbe largest aad moat 7arled stock of Cloth lag,
