—The Indiana, Pa., Messenger, slanders
our town as follows: "Butler is said to be

—Boys who spend their evenings at

glorious scheme for notoriety and tho
children should do everything in their
power, short of blighting their young
lives, to win the prize for their favorite
teacher.

—Tobacco dealers in the large cities de
clare the law prohibiting the sale of cigar

on the amount of cigarettes sold. The

—lt is stated that a Columbus (obiol
girl, suffering from l.a Grippe," sneezed
5,000 times an hoar. Come oil. ei.uie oil.
It can't be done. It is a physical iin|
sibility. If she sneezed once every sec
ond she would only sneeze 3,600 times,
and even that number would kill an ordi

bad no reason for making tlie >:t'itemeuts,
or any of tlieni, and that said statements
were false. I, therefore, take this oppor
tunity of correcting eacli of said statements
as I feel that I am bound to do in truth
and injustice."
—The brewers of Pennsylvania are up
in arms against the tax law which was
passed by the Legislature in 1885 aud
which was to modified at the lust session
of the Legislature as to exempt all manu
facturing corporations except brewing
companies. When the act was first pa
ed in 1885 it imposed a tax of three mills
on every manufacturing corporation in
Pennsylvania. In 1889, through the
pressure brought to hear l»v manufactur
ing corporations, the law was amended
as described above.
—"I wish," said an old citizen, "that
everybody knew what a grand thing var
nish is for a burn. It would save a mighty
sight of needless suffering. If any one
who is burned will immediately apply a
coating of common varnish to the injured
parts, in will not only allay the pain al
most instantly, but will cause it to heal tip
withont a scar." The important thing in
treating a burn is to keep it from the air,
and the varnish furnishes a new and itn
pervious coating for the skin which has
been injured.

Oil Field Notes.
' There's this much to encourage t!io-e
Who are forever trying:
They go on the hypothesis:
"We'll hit sometimes just as we miss:
For woe must alternate with bliss.
And jubilee with sighing."
Operators whose stocks of experience at
present exceed those of their oil should
lind considerable consolation in the above
lines.
The pipe line report for last month
shows but eleven million barrels of Penn'a.
oil above ground, the excess of present
consumption over present production i
put at <>40,000 per month, and if the condi
tions do not change the stocki above
ground will be exhausted in le s than gov
enteen months.
The incessant rains and terrible condi
tion of the roads have made the delivery
of materials almost impossible of late, and
there is but little new in the oil field.

The different oil fields of Pennsylvania
have their own peculiarities. Sugar Creek
township, Venango county, comes to the
front, with a claim of having the most
varied assortment of-the greasy stuff, li
is not generally known or credited, but it
is a fact that six different grades of oil are
found within the borders of that township.
There is quite a prodnction of what is
known as Franklin heavy oil. which sells
at $3.G5 per barrel. There is a slightly in
ferior grade, known as "front" oil, which
commands $2.K5 per barreljal o still a more
inferior quality which sells for only $1.25
per barrel. These three grades of heavy
oil are all produced from the first sand.

( Wliat McGlnty Escaped l>y do
ing "Down."
The late Mr. Daniel McCiuty, un
fortunate end wo chronicled a few weeks
ago, still lives in the hearts of his country
men, ami nowhere has the public mind so
occupied itself with thoughts of him as in
Butler. We quote it few incident
Little Lord Fauntlernv: "11 imnia,
dearest, don't you wi h it would rain to
morrow*"
Mamma;— •"Why,* dear
Little Lord Eanutleroy:—"To make the
grast and tlower- grow on Mi Ointy's
prave."
"Say. Hill, how's the lievr kill pitten
alonp?"
"What you givin' u ' What new l id?''
••MeGinty's po:«l
It seems that McGinty has been rather
playing it on one of our German liquor
sellers. A few days apo Constable Korn
rushed into the place of this man, whom
wc will call "Imbiber," and said:
Mr. Imbiber. 1 warn you to ell Me
flinty no more liquor.
"Eor why I sell him no more' Who ees
■Si < MeGintyf"
'•That's your business to watch that."
said Korn. as he left.
The next day a crowd of the hiiy i came
around and started on Imbiber. "Old
man," said one, "yon had better go over
and take care of that man who pot drunk
here." "lie' tearing up awful." said an
other "Breaking windows and insulting
women, ' broke in a third.
"By tam, who ees il'
(" horu.-i "McGinty
"Vere ees he? '
"Down by the Lowiy Hoii.el Hurry,
and you'll be all right.
Forth issues tin' unlucky Imbiber, and
eagerly a.-ks tor traci-- of McGinty. The
anwer i always the nine, "just gone
down." tie searches up and down, but no
McGinty can he find. A sudden fear
triki him. 11 avo the police got McGinty.
and are they even now getting out the
papers for Korn warned him. "I
w ill go paeh, resolves,lmbiber. But who
is this, with blood in bis eye? A business
man, and a neighbor of Imbiber's.
"Say. lie greets Imbiber with. "Say, do
\ou know tint', i ui < d tlrukmird got whisky
down at your place.anil conic up town criuy
drunk and smashed two hundred dollars
woi ill of plate glass at my 'tore! I'm go
ine to no \on tin' il
I 'our I nihil,ci was shaking. T.c
dot - ." he began, "Ees (lot who ec'.-
lot?"
"Mctiinty," said the merchant.
"Mctiinty," repeated Imbiber, "Ach, he
kills me dead already. lie gets me arrest
ed and looses me mine life. "Who,
piteonsly, "who ees dot McOintyf"
And Imbiber doe-n't know yet who Me
Ginly is.
They say he's reformed and -pells it now
"McGynte,"
In order to rhyme with the year I*9o.
Specialists of the medical fraternity are
much interested in the report of the case
of a man in Cincinnati who was crazed by
the Mctiinty joke, "but," said one of them,
"what must il have been lor poor Mctiinty
himself."
The handsomest bachelor in Butler is

The office of Court Stenographer and

The result of the thorough inquest held
iu Tareutnm as to the murder of Mrs.

that she came to her death at the hands
of Peter Griffin. "Eggy" Couroy and Alex

There was to have been a family path
eriug at the home of l'icknev Lowe, who
i l.o; of tin- Philadelphia and Heading
round-house, iu Allentown, on Thursday,
llis wife, who was (52 years of age, hail
about completed roasting a turkey and
removed it from tin* oven. In order lo
see whether it wa • properly cooked she
cut off a piece of lileut and ate it. 11l
swallowing it it became lodged iu her
throat, and when two of her daughters
a few moments later Were attracted to the

A will was probated in the Orphans'
Court of Mercer county a lew days ago
in which the te. tutor after making the
ordinary bequests, entered into a lengthy
theological di:.cu.i .-ion concerning certain
biblical mill ters, profes: ing his entire di

of Joshua "commanding the snn to staud
-liil until lie butchered a few more of his
fellow citizens," ot the birth of Chii-t ac
cording to the new te-tameut and of
many other matters in biblical history.
The testator wasevidcutly extremely rad
ieal in his theological views, and the will
is certainly one of the greatest curiosities
in that line on the Court records.
Mrs. B of Tarentum, recently visited
her relatives in the East and left her little
eight-year old daughter at homo in charge
of Mr. H and Mary, the servant. When
the mother returned the father was out
of town for the day, but the little daugh
ter detailed all the events of importance
that had transpired during her mother's
absence, and among other things acquaint
ed her mother with the (act that she
knew something that she had promised
papa not to tell. The mother did lior best
to persuade the child to divulge the secret,
but. without avail. When the father re
turned and entered the room, and alter
he bad fondly hi-oil and embraced bis
effectiitnate wife, the youngster exclaimed.
"Papa, I have told mamma all the news,
but I didn't tell her anything about yon
kissing Mary." The little rogue was just
about as discreet as her papa was, when
lie told her to keep mum. Xo amount
of explanation on the part of Mr. B could

He deserted his wife years ago iu Balti

he subsequently was married to two other
women, and had destroyed all documen

marriage. The true widow came for word
and claimed her right of dower Bel
tein sons and executors opposed her
claim on the ground that she was never

was pro cd, and Judge Hawking held
that a man who deserts bis wife places
her in a defenseless position, and that
misconduct ou her part i ; a logical conse

wa awarded to the deserted and legiti

went hand in hand.

THIS MORNING?
I lit tints is the ot oat extensively circulated
and widely reud newspaper published In Penn-
Mvivauia. its discussion of public men and pub
lic measures is In the Interest Of public In
tegrity, honest government and prosperous In
dustry. and It knows no party or personal
allegiance In treating pubQc Issues. In the
broadest and best sense a family And general
newspaper.
THE NEWS OF THE WORLB.-Ta* TIHIS ha*
all the facilities of advanced journalism fo r
gathering news from all the quartet* ot tbe *
tilobe, iii addition to that ot the Associated'
Press, now covering the whole world In Me
scope, making it the perfeatloa of a newspaper, :
wltn every Ui Gig carefully edited to occupy tbe •
smallest si>aoe.
THE NCNDAI EDITION is not only a complete
newspaper, but a Magazine ot Popular Liter-:..*
ature. Its sixteen large pages, clearly printed
and attractively illustrated. contain aa much"
good literature, by the foremost writer* ot the .
world, aa any ot the popular monthlies. Some
ot the newspapers in New York, Boston and
Chicago print a greater number of pages upon
Sudday. but these are for tbe moat part
occupied with advertisements. Tbe merchants
In those cities concentrate nearly all their ad
vertising In tbe Sunday papers, while In Phils- >
delphla they have found It more advantageous
to advertise on week days as well.
THE ILLUSTRATIONS of THE Ttusa ate rec
ognized as tbe very best printed In any dally
newspaper, and, with tbe elegance of typogra
phy lor which YkaTnutsls noted, add to Ita
popularity among all classea ot readers.
