rope, and there is nothing aboat him to in
spire patriotism or pride of country, while
the turkey is native of America, with not
a drop of foreign blood in him. Be true

the crowing, and eat turkey.

dealer of McKeesport, who shot and killed
his maiden aunt with whom he lived some
months ago. This case was of some
local interest on account of a Butler boy
being a witness in it. At the time of the
shooting, Gilbert Walker of this town, was
clerking for a McKeesport firm, and was
rooming with a young man named Vankirk,
who was the partner of Myers in bnsiness.
\ aukirk borrowed Gil's revolver one eve
ning about the time of the shooting and it
was supposed that the shooting was done
with Gil's pistol but such proved to be not
the case.
Atempted Murder and Sui
cide.
Harney Brell of Forward twp. whose
home was near Reibold Station, closed his
notorious career last Monday by shooting
his wife and then himself. The bullet that
he fired at his wife entered her left breast,
struck a rib. glanced around and lodged
under the shoulder blade, and she will re
cover; hut the one he tired into his own
head passed nearly through it and caused
instant death.
The quarrel between the two immedi
ately preceding the shootiug was about
money.
Mrs. Brell was in Butler last Friday,and
while here was paid some money coming
to ber from the estate of her father. Jacob
Heid, dee'd, Barney knew of it and want
ed it, and she would not not give it to
him, and the quarrel was almost continu
ous from the time she arrived at home till
the shooting. He finally went up stairs
and got bis revolver, and came down with
it in bis band; their eldest daughter, the
only child at home at the time, sprang in
front of him and tried to prevent it but he
reached around her and fired at his wife,
who fell to the floor, aud then supposing
he had killed his wife, he stepped out into
the yard and sent a bullet through his own
head.
Mrs. Brell refused to allow the body to
be brought into the house, and the inquest
was held in the summer kitchen. They
had been married over tweuty-five years,
aud had nine children, three of whom are
married.
A Mixed-up Case.
The most complicated C'rimiual Case we

then tried to kill himself.
At December term, 1889, he was tried

by Judge White.
Gov. Beaver issued a death waraut for
May, 28, but afterwards respited it to
Xov. 26, We dnesday of this week.
Three mmtbft ago, Smith's attorneys
applied for a commission in lunacy before
Judge Magee.the commission was appoint
ed, Smith was examined; pronounced in
sane and sent to Dixxont.

in the case, the Supd't of Dixmont dare not

A Great American Magazine.
THE SUCCESS OF -'THE CESTCRY" ASD ITS
PLANS FOR 1891.
THE CENTURY MAGAZINE is now so well
known that to lell of its past success seems
almost an old story. The X. Y. Tribune
has said that it and its companion, St.
y'tcholas for Young Folks, is.-ued by the
same house, "are read by every one person
in thirty of the country's population,"—
and large editious of both are sent beyond
the sea. It is an interesting fact that a
few years ago it was found that seven
thousand copies of The Century went to
Scotland, —ijuite a respectable edition in
itself. The question in England is no
longer "Who reads an American book?"
but "Who does not see the American
magazines?"
A few years ago The Century about
doubled its circulation with the famous
War Papers, by General Grant and others,
adding many more readers later with the
Lincoln History and Kennan's thrilling
articles ou the Siberian Exile System. One
great feature of 1891 is to be
"TIIE GOLD HUNTERS OF CALIFORNIA,"
describing that remarkable movement to
the gold fields in '49, in a series of richly
illustrated articles written by survivors, in
eluding the narratives of men who went to
California by the different route, uccounts
of the gold discoveries, life in the mines,
the work of the vigilance committees (by
the chairmen of the vigilance committees;,
etc., etc. General Fremont's last, writing
was done for this series, in November
appears the opening article, "The First
Emigrant Train to California," —crossing
the Koekies in 1841, —by General Bidwell,
a pioneer of pioneers. Thousands of
American families who had some relative
or friends among "the Argonauts of '49''
will be interested iu these papers.
MANY OTHER GOOD THINGS ARE COMING, —
the narrative of an American's travels
through that unknown land Thibet (for 700
miles over ground never before trod by a
white); the experiences of escaping War-
Prisoners; Americans Newspapers described
bj well-known journalists; accounts of the
groat Indians Fighters, Custer aud others;
personal anecdotes of Lincoln, by his pri
vate secretaries; "The Faith Doctors," a
novel by Edward Eggleston, with a won
derfully rich program of novelettes and
stories by most of the leading writers, etc.,
etc.
It is also announced that The Century
has purchased the right to print, before its
appearance in France or any other country,
extracts from advance sheets of the famous
Talleyrand Memoirs, which have been
secretly preserved for halt a century —to
be first given to the world through the
pages of an American magazine. All
Europe is eagerly awaiting the publication
of this personal history of Talleyrand—
greatest of intriguers and diplomats.
The November Century begins the
volume, and new subscribers should com
mence with that issue. The suoscriptiou
price ($4 00) may be remitted directly to
the publishers, The Century Co., 33 East
17th St., New York, or single copies may
be purchased of any newsdealer. The pub
lishers offer to send a free sample copy —a
recent back number—to any one desiring
it.

the idea ol"quality aud cheapness, which is
the distinguished feature of the genuine
bargains we offer. Every effort, lias been
made to include in our varied assortment
only reliablo goods; goods which shall be
most valued when they have stood the
thorough test of use and wear. Our effort
in this direction has been thoroughly suc
cessful. No better values or finer grades
being within the purchasing power ot
money. This is true not only of our liner
and more costly goods but our entire stock.
One feature of our stock which will com
mend itself to all classes of buyers is the
price feature, we make no extravagant
figures. We have marked our goods with
such low prices as will commend them at
a glance to all bargain lovers. We show a
stock various enough to meet the require
ments of any taste and purse in every
respect representative of the best goods in
the market, if you incline to the view that
strength and service are the chief desirable
features in this line of goods. We can suit
your taste exactly for we lay especial
stress on these features in all our goods.
Good material, well seasoned, and well
manufactured, is what we pride ourselves
on, and in respect of quality and work, our
goods will not disappoint the purchaser, in
the matter of price we stand pre-eminent
as lovers of low prices and buyers will find
our figures as fair and low as any that can
be made. Our large stock ot Buggies,
Phaetons, Surreys* Carts, Express, De
livery. Drillers and Business wagons all
bear the maker's name and wo warrant
them to be well made and ol good material,
and with fair usage for any breakage
resulting from defective material or work
manship we agree to make good either by

works are in Kaeine, Wis. Wisconsin is
noted for goou timber. This wagon
material is cut in the proper season for
cutting lumber and placed in open sheds
and air dried for three years before using,
making it perfectly dry before put in
wagons. One reason why they are so par
ticular in thoroughly drving their lumber
is their trade is principally Southern trade,
and we all know it requires better seasoned
material for the hot southern states than it
does for this country.
The Mitchell wagon has the best
material and the best seasoned material 'of
any wagon ever introduced in this coun
try. Come and see them. You will find
