—Spelling bees are again becoming pop

sou are opening a coal bank on Mangel's

shafting to the vein. They expect to have
coal for sale by the latter part of March.
—The influenza has largely increased the
death rate in Philadelphia and other large
cities. While but few die from the first
stage of the disease many deaths result
from inflammation of the lungs, directly
traceable to la grippe. Nearly one hun
dred deaths iu Philadelphia last week were
from lung disease, caused by dregs of in
fluenza.
—Tuesday, Feb. 18, is the date of th e
Spring election. Persons willing to serve
on the Council or School Board should let
it be known, immediately. Some heavy
interests will be involved iu Butler this
year, and we want men on the Council
free from business jealousies. Names
should be suggested at once, so that public
opinion will haye time to crystalize into
something like au intelligent choice and
tho hap hazard style ol' patching up a tick
et on the eve of the election be averted.
—That was a curious case up in Clarion
county. One man bought a bull from
another, both men being fully aware of the
animals visciousness. The bull killed his
purchaser iu a few months, and the widow
of the purchaser brought suit against its
former owner and received $750. On the
same principle the widow of a man who
bought a rattlesnake from another, and
was killed by it, could recover from the
seller.
—Sam Smith of the Indiana, Pa., Met
Heiif/er who weighs 400 pounds, aud has a
four gallon stomach, relates his experience
with the grippe as follows: —"It is only a
solemn duty to the public which compels
us to state the unsavory fact that the man
who goes to heil with liii chest covered
with a hot onion ponltico and his stomach
full of boiled onions will v.ake up to find
la grippe disgusted and gone. It U an
heroic remedy, but brings with it a great
reward."
—Messrs Hitter Ralston urn proud of
their carpet room, which just at present i J
full of the latest pattern*, from door to
ceiling. That is, the Hides of the room art!
packed; there is a space left iu the centre
for exhibition purposes, and also for a pas
sage to the front room, in which tliey have
a stock of cloth wraps and jackets that
cost them S3OOO, and which they are now
disposing of at half the usual prices. See
ad. and notices iu others places, iu this
paper.
—The movement among the farmers of
Ohio for better roads must be almost uni
versal. The latest county to move is
Jefferson, from which comes the report
that 250 of it's richest farmers and most in
fluential citizens met in the court house to
consider some manner of improving the
roads of the county, which are in wretched
condition. The convention appointed a
committee of live to ascertain the cost of a
system of pikes aud other information re
speetiug the manner in which the county
commissioners can legally construct 100
miles of pike in that county.
—There are a large number of cases of
grip in Butler; if you do not believe this
take a seat in a drug store any evening
and you will be astonished at tbe number
of persous who call for quinine, and cough
aud catarrh remedies. People who are
doctopng themselves for the disease, are
all taking quinine, a tonic extracted from
the bark of a South American tree. The
physicians however are prescribing auti
pyrine, a patented medicine, made in Gcr
niauy, from coal tar. it seems strango
that wo have to go to Brazil and (iermany
for medicines, substitutes for which are
likely on and in our native hills, if we only
knew them, and the tact that, we do go
abroad for them to the extent of millions
of dollars every year suggests that the
elements of botany, geology and chemis
try be taught iu our public schools. A lit
tle knowledge of these subjects would lead
to many an accidental discovery.
—And now another paper is at it. The
"Religions Editor" of the Pittsburg F.cadrr
—it will.astonish some people to learn that
the Leodir has a religious editor—wants
you to vote for tbe most popular pastor in
Western Pennsylvania, the terms and
prizes being about the same that the Pitts
burg Turns is offering in the school teacher
contest. The same paper wants you to
guess at the population of your town, and
offers a prize of s."> for the nearest gue •,
the coupon tickets to be cut from the
paper. The other Pittsburg papers are yet
to he heard from in this brain cracking
game, but if they intend entering
it we stipge that a prize be
offered to the one who can guess
the exact location of McGinty, the color of
his wig, the shade of his dad , or what he
has been doing since he went to the
"bottom of the say."
—An exchange says that when crema
tiou comes to be the fashion, we shall be
able to do up our obituaries iu something
like this style:
February 3, 188!), Crc- )
November 25, 1010, M atcd.

A Novel Contest.
The race around the world between
"Nellie Bly" of the New York fTorl<l.
(M Pink Cochran of Armstrong Co.) and
Mi-- lllizabeth Bisland of the "Cosmopol
itan Magazine" is attracting considerable
attention. Miss Cochran traveled East
ward, and Mi-s Bisland, Westward. Mi-~
Bisland started from New York for San
Francisco, eight hours after Mi-s Cochr.iu
left for Europe in a steamer, and -lie wa.-
inaking the best time until she missed a
fast steamer, that was waiting for her at
one port and had to go further aud take
a slower steamer. She is now on the,
Bothnia, five days out from Liverpool.
Miss Cochran arrived at San Francisco,
on the Oeeauica, Monday, and as the I'n
ion Pacific K. 11. is blockaded by snow,
had to take the Southern Pacific route
which will delay her two days. Both
therefore have met with misfortune at the
ends of their routes, but if either arrives at
New York by next Sunday, it will proYe
that one can now go around the world in
le*s than 75 days. The record of the race,
however, will have to be kept by hours,
as Miss Cochran lost a day traveling, cast
ward; and Miss Bisland gained a day
traveling westward.

Church Notes.
During service iu the Presbyterian
Church of Butler last Sunday, the follow
ing persons were admitted to membership
on certificate, Beriah Moon, wife and son.
of Prospect; Isaac Andrews, and wife, of
Brown&dalc; Miss Mary E. W. Smith, of
Phila.; Mrs. Ida Brand berg, of Titusville;
Mrs Gussie Wick, of Grove City; and Mrs.
C. N. Boyd, of Butler. The following
were admitted on examination: Dr. Bip
pus, Maggie Graham, Anna White, Thos.
l.owry, Miss Sink, Mrs. Cash more, Ella
White and Lizzie Atkcu*. Seven were
admitted lo same church on *crtificate
two weeks ago.
Mrti. Annie .fenness Miller, the wo
man's dress-reformer, has invented a new
kind of a dress which she styles the
"divided skirt." The name is adopted
doubtless, from modesty, ttie "divided
skirt" being nothing more nor less than a
pair of pantaloons in full bloom with some
slight modifications. Mrs. Miller considers
the drc ■; of women a nuisance for the
rea-on that they prevent freedom of ac
tions, particularly in climbing over barbed
wire fences, aud through her magazine and
platform lectures she has succeeded iu con
vineing a number of women throughout
the United States that her position is tin
correct one. Mrs. Miller also claims that
with the adoption of the new stylo of dress
women could cease to cramp their waists
with corsets, and would soon become just
as proud of a good healthful girth as men.
Well, this is an age of progress, aud if the
women want to adopt a new style of dre*.-.
why should the men kick? And in case
they do, women clothed in their "divided
skirts" would be in shape to kick back.

Oil Field Notes.
The surprise ol the Hundred- Foot field
j during the past week wa- the produce!
struck on the M int Humphrey farm, con
J iderably east of other producers. A
soon as the drill cracked the shell of the
sand last Thursday evening the well bogau
llowing and as no tankage was up. the
oil ran to waste till next day. On Mou
day the well was making 10 bids an hour,
and on Tuesday -1. A little drilling
Tuesday night, brought 10 bbls an hour,
making it the best well in that field, as it
is but ten leet in the sand. The well is
owned by ("has. and John llazlctt, J. P
McJnnkin, I»r. Pnrvianee, Nelson liced
and Mr. Holland. The have eighty more
acres in that vicinity leased in which I»r.
Xeymaii also, has an interest.
It is not known yet, whether or not tin
well on the J. S. Hays farm will make a
paying producer. They found about .-uty
feet of splendid sand, but il was too close
to allow of the oil flowing freely. All the
way up from Allegheny County, the pay
streaks and close streaks run in nearly a
north and south line, anil it. looks as
though there was a close streak east of the
Cable well, and another cast of the Hum
phrey. though several small wells have
been struck on the close streaks.
The Cable well is reported to In- doing
•'.O bbls a day.
The (iolden it Co. well on the Xesbit is
reported good for 100 bbls.
The Phillips well on the Win. Doutbett
farm. Glade Pun district, continues to be
the largest well in the county. It is yet
doing 2-"i bbls an hour.
The Grazier A Co. well on the John
Martin farm, near Callery Junction is re
ported good for 40 bbl
The llartman well on the Staples is pat
at 70 bbl .
At Great Pelt, a strong vein of gas was
tapped on the Win. Stehlo farm, Monday,
which stopped drilling for a few days, and
Phillips got a dry hole on the Parr.
The Snee A Co. well near Mnrrinsville
was torpedoed last is reported at 10 bbls.
The Wilson farui well near Zelicnople i
not yet completed, nor the well on the
Jacob Endres.
The Logue Xo. 3, near Coylesville i- put
at i"» bbls.
Otto Liniberg, P. 11. Morse and a Mr.
Mitchell expect to complete their well on
the Sam'l Miller, near Jamisonville Station
next week
Partner A Co. are drilling a well on the
limiting farm, near Jefferson Centre, the
Jefferson Oil Co. on the Cal. Logan, and
Hatty A Co. on the Loyal Welsh.
The Crazier well, Martin farm, stopped
flowing Tuesday. It was drilled Tuesday
three, bits in excellent hnndred-l'oot sand
and will be tubed with three-inch tubing
and pumped before drilling to tl • second
pay streak.
The MeXeal farm well is 42 feet in the
hundred-foot sand, with no oil jet.
The Allsop farm well, northeast of Uak
erstown, will be torpedoed in the hnndred
foot sand.
.VOTES.
Thos. Graham of Connoijuenessing twp.
got SI,OOO bonus from Hnzlctt A Co. for 20
acres.
In several places the drillers after oil or
gas, while failing to get what they were
after, have found something else equally
valuable. The other day a shaft at Yin
ccnues, Intl., went through a splendid
four-foot vein of coal at a depth of3oo feet.
The city went wild over the strike, which
is of the greatest importance in a section
where fuel is such a big item. Excellent
vein®of alt have been struck in somi lo
calities. Aid now an Ashtabula paper re
ports that in a well near there pota-h was
found at a depth of 1,000 feet, and adds:
'•The .miy potash wells in operation in the
world are in Germany, and there is a
heavy duty on the product, which w ill
make the find very valuable."
