Found Dead.
John Wilson of Clay twp, generally
known as "Blind-John'' Wilson, was fonnd
dead in his lied, at his home, Tuesday
morning. Ho was in Butler, Monday, and
was apparently in his usual health then.
He was about 40 years of age, was a son of
James Wilson, who left this county about
twonty-five years ago, was unmarried and
had soino proporty, He was a dealer in
railroad tios and drew a thousand dollars
from the P. S. & L. E. Co. on Monday
while in Butler.
His younger brother, Allen, was killed
on the railroad near Chartiere, last fall.
The Only Place To Advertise.
At the convention of general passenger
agents of leading railroads held in Denver,
gays an exchange, it was resolved to sus
pend all other methods of advertising ex
cept that of the newspapers. The experi
ence of these men had fully demonstrated
that money spent in railroad guides, hotel
registers, fancy show cards and othor
schemes of like character did not pay and
should be prohibited. The newspaper is
the natural and proper medium through
which to reach the public, and this is the
conclusion of all who have any knowledge
upon the subject of advertising. All other
devices are useless and worthless. The
colnms of well established and reputable
newspapers furnish the only proper means
of directing the attention of the publio to
what you have to sell. The most experi
■ enced business men realize this.
m The Piinters of the "Citizen" to its
W Readers.
When iu the course of the Earth around
the Sun and the due progression of the
seasons the hot days of mid-summer and
particularly those of the mid-summer
holiday week approacheth, and it becoineth
necessary that all mankind and especially
1 all printers should tako a brief season of
rest, recreation and recuperation from the
monotonous routine of types and galleys,
f and to assume among the peoples of the
Earth that separate and equal existenco to
whioh the laws of nature and nature's God
entitle them once a year, a decent respect
for the opinions of mankind requires
that they should declare the causes which
impel them to do so. We hold that
these truths aro self-evident: that all men
are created equal; that they arc endowod
by their Croator with certain inalienable
k rights; that among these are life, liberty
■ and the pwrm.il of happiness, and that to
V seen*; those rights vr'o rrni«* 'Jowa and
P ont of the harness and take a rest.
Prudence, indeed, will dictate that cus
toms long established should not be
changed for light and transient causes; and
I .Accordingly all experience hath shown,
that mankind are more disposed to suffer,
while evils are sufferable, than to right
themselves by abolishing for a time the
"form*" to which they are accustomed.
Therefore as it has long been the custom
of this office not to publish a paper on the
week of the 4th of July we solemnly pub
lish and declare our intention of not
changing the custom this year,

—ln some parts ot this county the frost
and dry weather of the early spring injured
the growing crops more than in others,but
from all we can learn there will be good
average crops of both grain and fruit in
this county.
—A Farmers Alliance orator told the
farmers at Sedgwick, Kan; that "there

—Messrs A. Troutman <t Son are the

fall width of the same in the business part
of the town. This is a matter that should
have the immediate attention of all our
business men, and where grading is needed
to any extent, the paving should bo done
in blocks.
—At a late meeting of the school-board,
a committee was appointed to consider the
advisibility of putting tho Smead-Wills
system of ventilating in the Jefferson St.
-school building, and wo think that the
committee should go slow in tho matter,

—The County Commissioners of Ly
coming Co. have taken a step that might be
duplicated, in part at least,by the Commis
sioners of this county. They advertise for
forty well regulated, and continuous
tobacco chewers. County treasurer Heil
man will supply each man with a largo
plug of tobacco,after which Janitor Bastian
will lead them out To the court-house lawn

—The first through train on the Pitts
burg <fc Western ran over the Ellwood
short line Saturday, the road having been
formally opened on Friday. The road is
probably the most costly one in the State
the expense being SIOO,OOO a mile. The
road is only miles in length, but is very
important from the fact that it is the con
necting link in tho Beaver Valley. It
starts from Limcton on the Pittsburg Jc
Western, crosses the Connoquenessing over
a bridge 05 feet high and then through a
tunnel 700 feet in length it reaches tho new
town of Ellwood City. A new branch of it
joins tho Pittsburgh Western further down
and another branch touches the Erie &
Pitteburg and Pittsburgh Lako Erie roads.
The latter connection ie to be made by a
bridge across the Beaver river. The road
is not entirely completed, only one track
having been laid. When finished it will
be double track. The lower bridge over
the Connoquenessing has also been anchor
ed, but the one over the Beaver river will
not be completed for some time yet. The
Kreat feature of the road is tho low grade.
In a distance of miles the grade is only
17 feet to the mile, while on the old Pitts
burg "Western track the line goes six
miles to cover the same territory and has a
grade of 40 feet to the mile. Besides this
the Coniioquenefsing river is to be dammed
in order to furnish compressed air power
in tho factories at Ellwood—New Castle

Borough Business.
The special meeting of the Council,
Tuesday evening was for the purpose of
hearing the report of the Sewer Commit
tee, and as they had made a thorough in
spection of the sewers now in use; and a.-
the sewers are being flushed regularly and
work all right; tbey so reported: and the
solicitor read a statement of the moneys
paid in on the sewer assessments, aud
motions to pay Mr. K. P. Hughes $10,2CE.-
1(3, and He.ssrs Ott Bros. #5.17(!00 of it,
which is about 78 per cent o! their whole
bills, carried.
A petition of citizens ofS. Main St. pro
testing against the proposed change in the
grade of the return curbs at the Campbell
alley, was read and aftorwards debated;
aud the recommendation of the Paving
Committee that a slight change be made
was approved, though the debate was
somewhat acrimonious and the proposed
change stoutly contested.
Mr. Keihing aslted for tho grade to bo
established on Wayne St. between Main
and McKean, and the Street Committee
agreed .to attend to the matter next moru
ing.
One of the members of tbe Council
stated the co:::plaints of citizens of North
Main St. regarding some changes made on
the grades of tho sidewalks, and the
matters were referred to the Street Com
mittee and Engineer.
Some changes have heretofore been made
by authority of the Committee, aud with
out any authority at all. that are now
proving very vexatious to the Council, and
hereafter no changes will be made except
ing by authority of the whole Council, aud
the Engineer was directed to make a
profile of all the graded streets.
The matter of the Centre Ave. bridge —
moving back the houses, building the wing
wall, paying the damages and making the
fill—was brought up and discussed; and
on motion the president and secretary of
the Council, by and with tbe advice and
consent ol the finance committee, were
authorized to draw such warrants as were
needed to secure the removal of the houses
to the extent ol SI,OOO, not to bo payable
until after July Ist. Some of the people
there want to use the wiug wall for their
front wall, and will help pay for it.
Sidewalks were ordered for both sides of
McKean St. from the Opera House to Cuu
ningbam St.
The petition for the extension of the pav
ing of Jefferson St. to Race St. was grant
ed, and the Solicitor will prepare the ordi
nance.
The petition of the First Ward Hose Co.
for 250 feet of new hose was held over for
one week.
The petition for a sewer on Franklin and
Walnut Sts. to the McKean St. sewer was
referred to the Sewer Committee.
The private sewer put down on Franklin
and Elm to Jefferson was approved.
The petition of Mr. W. H. Vogan for a
plumbers' license was referred to tho Sewer
Committee. Licensed plumbers must give
bond in SSOO, to do their work correctly,
and all connections must be made under
the eye of the City Engineer.
Some other complaints regarding return
curbs were referred to the Paving Com
mittee.
President Black invited the Council to
the Elks' picnic, and secured a policeman
for that day; and npon his assurance that
the Elks' milk of human kindness would
fill the bowl to the brim that day the in
vitation was accepted.
Council adjourned till next Tuesday eve
ning.
A New Strata.
Some Harrisville folks aro drilling a
test well on the AV. P. Braham farm, and
thereby hang some tails —sheep tails.
Part of the spudding was done last Sat
urday aud the well was shut down over
Sunday.
On Monday they ran the 15-inch bit to
complete the spudding and it struck some
thing soft—very soft. One of.the drill
ers reinarketfthat it felt as though they
were drilling iu wool, and Mr. Barnes, the
contractor was puzzled regarding it. How
ever they drilled away for a while and
then they ran the sand-pump, and sure
enough they had been drilling in wool, for
it came up full of sheep pelt, tails, feet uud
heads. They brought up three sheep heads
and Mr. Braham says he lost four sheep.
It was the strtngest find ever found in
an oil (T) well.
The explanation of it is this. Mr. Bra
ham raises Merinos, which are a small
breed of sheep. Sunday was a hot day and
the sheep crawled under the floor of the
derrick to keep cool and some of them were
crowded into the fifteen-inch hole, and
were smothered or drowned by the time
the drillers went to work next morning.
It was an amusing incident for every
body but the owner of the sheep and the
shoep themselves.

The following from the Huntingdon Local
Xews suits us so well that we reproduce
it, substituting only the name of TnE I!i"r-
LKR CITIZEN* for the Xews.
We want a correspondent in, aud the
news from every borough and township in
the county. We invite young men and
young ladies to send us an account of the
events transpiring in their respective local
ities when they occur. Manuscripts will
be revised if they need revision. Send us
news-news only-'not disquisitions on sub
jects in which the readers of the TUB CIT
IZEN have no interest. Neither do we care
to print exaggerated descriptions of persons
or places, and offensive personal reflections
must be omitted. To be able to put yonr
thoughts on paper fit for publication, is an
accomplishment of which every young man
or woman should be proud. Xo matter what
your education may be, successful journal
ism is attained only by practice. The most
uoted in that profession were born and
schooled, not in the cities, but in the coun
try. Some of those who have made their
mark in the world of journalism began
their work by writing for local newspapers.
It is a field that offers greater opportuni
ties for advancement than any other now
open to the possessors of bright minds.
The gathering up and writing of news
amonnts almost to genius in some per
sons, but no one knows what he may be
ablo to do in that direction until he tries.

stowing this title on the new train, the

the intiative among the railroads in recog
nizing tho merits of the World's Exposi
tion by providing special taeilities for the
comfortable and speedy movement of
visitors. The train is particularly worthy
of bearing the honored title. It is the
ripest example of train construction as it
