TTJMN date of Butler, Pa., Oct. 28, 1889,
the Democratic candidate for District At

fuence with certain voters is not very ex
tensive have had William A. Wallace of
Clearfield, PA—the renowned William of
Gaffe* Pot fame — write to them that,

BETTER, and nee your influence ia electing
him, aad giving a majority in your county
fcrMr. Biglcr."
TBB citisea who ia able to move out of
daore next Tuesday, and consciously fails
te vote, will neglect his duty.
About the Election.
It ought to be the business of every Re
publican to urge upon his Republican
neighbor the duty of going to the polls.
Ia every off-year the Republican vote falls
aff largely, for the reason that so many
think that the 80,000 Republican majority
will elect the candidates, and that tbat is
all that is needed.
Bach. however, is not the fact. Even
•0,000 majority can be beaten if the stay
at-homes continue to increase their num
ber. Don't forf et this.
The State is prosperous Labor is em
flayed; the farmer has had good crops and
lair prices; while he has not made large
profits, be has been steadily prosperous; and
the iraa industry is in a healthy condition,
with the promise of continued activity dur
iag the winter.
Under these circumstances our candi
date, Mr. Boyer, ought to have 60,000 ma
i°rity
But this can only be secured by individ
ual effort. Committees, it is true, are ap
pointed. But committees cannot do ev
erything, and they are not expected to do
everything. They need help, and it
ia the duty of every Republican voter to
see that they have it.
This caa be done by urging your neigh
bors to vote. Tbat is most that is needed
— urge the Republicans to vote.
ANY considerable reduction of last fall's
Republican majority will be regarded by
Democrats as a victory. Deprive them of
this satisfaction by doing your duty as a
good party man. ia getting out the vote.
Our candidates are worthy. They are
aatitlad to the vote of every Republican in
the county.
BE on your guard against eleventh hour
stories, and tickets with "stickers" on
tham.

Obituary.
RKV. JAMES H. MARSHALL.
All who knew Rev. James H. Marshall,
of Concord Church, were pained to hear of
his death on Friday last, Oct. 23. 1889. at
hii home in Middletown. He had been pas
tor of the church for over twenty-four
years, and no man stood higher in both
church and community. He had been
j troubled with an affection of the throat for
tome years, and last summer wont to
Clifton Springs and took hot baths, which
itemed to do him harm. It is said that he
■ever could speak alond aftor taking the
first bath, and the affection went to his
lungs and caused his death.
He was born near Glade Run in Arm
srtong Co., and was married during the
first year of his pastorate at Concord to
Miss "Barnett, of same county. His wife
and three children survive him. Charley
and his two sisters were attending oollege
in Ohio at the time of his death and did
not get home till a few hours after he
breathed his laat. He was 52 vears of age
last July. His funeral took place at Con
cord church, Tuesday morning, and was
attended by almost the whole of the Con
cord and North Butler congregations, as
well as by a large number of his neighbors.
Rev. J. R. Coulter had charge of the ser
vices, and Revs. Oiler, McConkey, right,
Breaden, Irwin, Reed and Starks were
present. He was buried in the church
yard adjoining the church.
It was stated that had he survived till the
Ist of April next he would have been pas
tor of the two churches of Concord and
North Butler for twenty-five years, from
which we judge that he preached for the
two churches for a few months before his
installation.
Concord church ia one of the oldest
churches in Butler county, having been or
six members, and Messrs. Jeremiah Sutton.
Sr., Hugh Conway, Sr., ■William Christy
and John Christy woro the first elders.
Rev. John McPhcrrin was the first pastor
and held the office till Feb. 10, 1822. He
waa succeeded by Rev. John Coulter who
was pastor for forty-one vears—from 1823
to 1864, and he by Rev. Marshall who was
installed Oct. 23, 1865. Nine members of
the church have entered the ministry, vii:
Revs. G. W. Mechling. S. P. Kinkaid, D.
M. Rankin, James Smith, J. Harper, Thos.
Graham, J. R. Coulter, Josiah McPherrin,
and Perry S. Allen. The present session
consists of David J. Russell, Samuel
Russell, Thos. E. Coulter, Peter Kauierer,
Robert Emery, John S. Campbell, and
Harvey Campbell.
JAMES B. STOREY.
On Monday morning last, word reached
Butler that Major James. B. Storey, for
merly of this town, but who for some years
has had a desk in the Auditor-General's
office in Harrisburg, had died suddenlv of
heart disease. The news was a shock to
his friends here, who remembered his
hearty and ragged appearance when at
tending the reunion of the 102 d in Butler
in August. He was buried in Harrisburg.
Major Storey enlisted as a private in the
One Hundred and Second Regiment, Penn
sylvania Volunteers, and was promoted to
various positions, until made Major for
gallantry in battle. He was shot in the
head at Cold Harbor. In front of Peters
burg, in June, 1864, he was shot through
the left side and lost his left arm. He was
Sheriff of Butler county, and, in 1882, was
appointed to a clerkship in the Auditor-
General's department.
Birthday Party in Oakland.
A pleasant birthday party met at the
residence of Jas. M. Hutchison of Oakland
township.
The neighbors and relatives assembled
at the house about 10 o'clock to the num
ber of about one hundred and fifty. A beau
tiful and bountiful table was spread in the
yard in front of the house and all present
ate heartily.
A birthday dinner waa aerved to Mr.
Hutchison at his bed side. He was injur
ed in the spinal column about ten months
ago by the tailing in of a coal bank in
which he was working. His injury gave
him great pain and suffering and ended in
?araiysis, of which he can never recover,
n bis bed be was happy to take the hand
of all visitors and thanked them for their
birthday presents, which were small
but numerous and given with that hearty
cheer and friendship that characterized
the first settlers of Butler County.
Mr. Hutchison was a soldier for three
years. He served in the 62d Pa. Vols.,
was transferred when that regiment's time
expired to the 155 th Pa. Vols, aud from
that to the 191 st, and was was discharged
after the war was ended. In his manly
struggle for life for himself and his family
he was wounded at l*«t near his own home,
where he will remain, we hope, ve„rs, to
receive the care and comfort of his noble
neighbors and friends, who are all owners
of an old book that savs: "Inasmuch as
is you did it not unto the least of these,
my little ones, ye did It not unto me."
This was a very pleasant day and all
present went away feeling better and left
this afflicted neighbor many good wishes,
a few presents and a small pur so of money
for which he returns many thanks.

NO TIKE Til STOP
TO
Consider Losses Now, But Pushing the
Great Work on, Until all Boots,
Shoes and Rubber Goods will
be in the Hands of the
Consumer.
Our immense Fall and Winter stock has all arrived and ibis with
out a doubt the largest and mo-it complete stock of Boots and Shoes ever
brought to Butler.
As the fall of ISB9 is a drj and backward fail, the consequence is the
demand for Boots, Shoes and Rubber goods becomes less, and in order that
there shall be no diminution in the amount of trade we hare been doing, it
becomes necessary to cut down the prices, so this is the plan we have mapped
out —the policy we will pursue in conducting the anti-backward season sale.
It is a common remark now to hear said, I expected rain last night and nerer
baa there been such a beautiful Fall as the present. It's no matter of sur
prise under these circumstances that people didn't feel like buying heavy
shoes and boots. But these must be sold same as the fine goods. Profits
are out of the question, of course. As the head of this ad reads, we have no
time to stop to consider our losses now. We shall devote our whole time
now on selling heavy goods as well as fine. This done, it'll then be plenty
time to figure up our losses.
Attention will be particularly directed to oar kip and calf boots in
Men's, Boys and Youths. Calf and oil grain shi>ea, which we guarantee
waterproof, also a full line Mrs. Misses' and children's oil grain, calf and
kip shoes, which none will be spared in this great »ale.
I have also a full stock of my own make Buois and Shoes, either in
plain toe or bo* toe, sewed or pegged, long or short leg. Full stock of the
celebrated Edwin Clapp shoes, which are warran'ed all hand made, got up
in very light and neat style, made of any leather desired. A full stock of
calf and oil grain waterproof cork sole shoes.
In Ladies' shoes we have the best wearing shoes, the moat durable and
the latest styles. Ladies wearing our splendid line of hand sewed shoes
find their daily walks give a double measure of enjoyment. Nowhere else
will you find the same dressy shoes or the same excellence of make. We
handle only the very beat of manufactures. A full Btock of Mrs. misses'
and children's high cut calf; Pfisters & Vogel's genuine oil grain and big lot
of many different makes in kip shoes.
We've not forgot the boys and girls with this wonderful sale of our's,
so read carefully the following. In the boys' department the goods are piled
to the ceiling and consisting of a full line of the celebrated makes of Qokey
& Son, Isaac Proody and other well-known makes A grand line of boys'
fine calf dress shoes in Button, Lace and Congress, plain or tip on toe, at
$1.50; they are dandieß. Boys call around and see what you think of this
lot of goods. In regard to misses' shoes we have a large line and fine dis
play, having a complete stock of all sizes and widths of the well-known
makes which we handle in Ladies' shoes Full stock of infanta' shoes,
spring or wedge heel, medium, low or high cut, in any material desired,
price 15c. to sl.lO.
Headquarters for Rubber
Goods.
We carry Boston, Woonsocket, Candee, Colchester and Bay State. The
Boston and Woonsocket specialties are the finest made and we hare them
in all sizes and widths to fit everybody. Medium, knee or high cut rubber
boots. Boston rubber boots at $2.35. Prices on all rubber goods 50 cents
a pair cheaper than any place in the county. Call and examine our rubber
goods before baying and be convinced of our prices
Boots and Shoes made to order. Repairing neatly done.
A full stock of Leather and Findings.
A box of fine grease given free with each purchase.
YOURS TRULY.
JOHN BICKEL,
22 S. Main Bt. - - Butler, Pa.
A —We have just received another shipment of kip
boots, which added to the one received some weeks ago makes in all 100
cases of men's, boys' and youths' boots, which will be sold during this sale
regardless of cost now. Close buyers, now is your time to buy, for after
entering my store you are sure to buy, for no reasonable offer will be re
