—Tobacconists and others who deal in
cigars would do well to closely study tho

to the sale of cigars. The government law
on the subject says cigars must bo sold to

handful of cigars and lays them before the

to a lino of SIOO.
—One of tho Now York papers blames
the late Park Place disaster by which a
hundred people were killed or injured by
the falling of a fivo story building—on the
fact that the joists of tho building run at
right angles with the street instead of par
allel with it, as is usual. It »ays that the
vibrating of the machines on tho 4th and
sth floors loosened the ends joists from the
beams, and that the building began falling
from the top. That method of construc
tion is in practice in Butler, and.-if it is
radically wroug it should be stopped.

—Tho elegant new hotel on S. McKean
St., opposite the school-houso, and named
tho ''Hotel Wavorly" is now open to the
public. It is a new house, with new
furniture throughout, and fitted with all
modern conveniences. It is well supplied

some sixty well furnished bod rooms for
the accommodation of the public. Mr.
Chess. Stoner, an old and well known
hotel man, is the proprietor, and the

A certain young man iu Bollefonte
called upon a young lady last week and iu
the conrso of tho evening he resolved to
kiss her and ho made known his intentions.
She said "John, if you I will scream." He
didn't beliovo her, however, and he under
took the liberty, and in a moment ho per
formed the act with arousing good smack.
The young lady screamed and brought tho
father and mother down stairs into tho
room. "What on earth is the matterf" ex
claimed the mother. The young man
stood at th-> piano almost paralyzed with
foar, wishing tho roof would fa'l and bury
everybody. Tho young lady by this time
was standing on the sofa. The mother de
manded au explanation. The young lady
then told her mother that she had seen a
mouse and it had frightened her almost to
death. The parents went to their room,
and tho young man kissed her until she
couldn't have told a mouse from a mule.
—At tho meeting of Council Tuesday
evening it was suggested that tho Grand
Jury of the County, thou in session, be
called upon to look at a public nuisance
that exists in the South Side. It is a case
of a water closet that is flooded after every
heavy rain to tho great annoyanco of tho
neighbors; and if tho Grand Jury sees fit.
to take any notice of tho nuisances about
this town that are detrimental to tho
public health, we suggest that they take
a general look around. The people of tho
north western part of tho town have been
complaining of a certain pig-pon for some
I time.
TIIK FAIR.
ii iiuiiin nature calls Cor a holiday" after a
season ofbaul work, and the County Fair
at the end of the harvest season—provided
you have a well managed Fair to attend,
and the weather is agreeable—is the most
reasonable and protitable moans to that
end.
The Agricultural Ass'n and the people
of the ronnty generally were fortunate this
year in being favored with four days of
fair weather after lour days of rain, and
though tliu attendance on Wednesday was
principally from the town, with a sale id
tiIMM) tickets, ou Thursday the country peo
ple were here aud tlio -ale of tickets more
tluiii doubled that ol Wednesday.
The grounds were covered by in o'elock.
Thursday morning, the band was playing,
the people were shouting, and the circii
was on in all its (.'lory. The races, judg
ing from the crowded condition of the
Grand-stand were ot uunsnal interest this
year, and the grounds were covered with
«-utiitstands, side shows, and catch penny
affairs.
The exhibit.' were never better, aud
afforded an excellent oppoitunity lor com
parison.
THE UDRTSKS.
The horse exhibit was i grand one, as it
has been for years. Every class of
animals known to the breeders ol this
1 country, excepting the Belgian?, were rep
resented. Many splendid animals were in
the stalls but as hut lew ol the owners
were about we could not learn their names.
Mr. J. I'. Davis of Franklin twp., had a
magnificent black Percberor. stallion on
' exhibition. D. B. Doutbett, Esq., showed
us as pretty a colt as we have ever seen.
It was sired by the stallion, Gray Tip,
owned l>y the Smith Bros., ol liutler,
which was also on exhibition.
Tom Alexander owns one of the finest
driving horses in the country, and had him
there.
Porter Wilson's big Clyde, and James
Nibloek's graded Clyde were in their stalls.
TflE CATTLE.
The cattle exhibit was immense, the five
sheds erected for their benefit were full,
and all the classes known to breeders, ex
cepting Ayrshires, were on exhibition.
We noticed llolsteins, Jerseys, Hereford*,
Red-polled, Durhams, aud Devons. J. 11.
Yagee, of near Portersvilie, had aline herd
of Devons. and F. W. Wittee, of Wintield,
had his famous l.erd of Holsteins on exhi
bition.
TIIE SHEEP.
The exhibit of sheep was the largest and
best ever seen in ltutler, and all the class
es were represented. There were four
kinds of ''downs" on exhibition. Sheep
were here from several counties of the
state.
THE PIGS.
The pig pens were well occupied. There
wero big pigs and little pigs, long and
short ones, black aud white, of all the va
riotios known to pig fanciers.
THE CHICKENS.
The poultry exhibit w<is as good as could
he expected at this, the worst season of
the year, for exhibiting poultry. Are not
iced some very fine turkeys, ducks, and
chickens of different varieties.
FLORAL HALL.
Floral Hall was, as usual, the chief at
traction for the ladies. The ceiling was
hung with patchwork quilts and the walls
with pictures and fancy work, at which
they can look with interest for hours.
Campbell & Tetnpleton aud A. Trout
man A Son combined tbeir.'exhibits and
presented a beautifully furnished room.
Henry Biehl exhibited the Standard sew
ing machine anil its work
Jos. Kockensteiu had some of bis famous
hand-made harness there.
Grieb & Lamb exhibited a grand Behr
Bros, piano, also a Petit Bijou piano, a
Packard organ, guitars, banjos, etc.
J. H. Douglass had an exhibit of fancy
stationery, albums, pons and decorative
art goods—the prettiest jf which are now
being made of aluminum.
Alex Williams exhibited a cabinet-grand
Clough and Warren piano, a Story and
Clark organ, aud other instruments.
A. M. Reiber had a booth covered with
fancy work, presided oyer by Miss Annie
Lowmau.
L. W. Zuver exhibited some of his
famous photographs.
Ludwig i Richter of 24 Federal St., Al
legheny, displayed cut and fancy flowers,
bulbs, etc.
The Butler Chemical Co. showed its
make of salt, which compares in every par
ticular with tho best English salt in tho
market.
S. S. Marvin & Co. of Pittsburg made all
the children —big and little—happy with a
ginger cake, and they were good, too.
Some of tho work exhibited by the pub
lie schools of the county shows cousidera
able talent in the part of thoy outhful ar
tists.
AGRICULTURAL HALL.
This department of tho Fair was of more
interest this year than it has been for some
seasons. Tho crops of everything are good
thid year aud fair samples were on exhibi
tion, well arranged aud surmounted by a
selection of plants and tropical shrubs
from Al. Heck's greenhouses.
Walter Bartley, J. I). Anderson, John
Crow and Samuol Crawford of this county
and Harrison of Allegheny county had fine
displays of fruits.
David Fisher, Noah llonry and John
Harding, of near Butler, and J. B.
Jackson of Millerstou had fine displays of
vegetables. Tho display made by Mr.
Fisher, who lives on the old Reiber plac",
northwest of town was particularly good.
He had tho Cuest egg-plants we have ever
seen, and his tomatoes, celery, poppers,
beets and potatoes wore as good as one
could wish for.
The ladies made a handsomo display ol
preserved fruits and pickles at ono end of
tho hall, but we learned tho name of but
one exhibitor—Mrs. Fisher.
OUTSIDE EXHIBITS.
On the grounds,Martincourt & Co. exhib
ited the best and handsomest carriages,
buggies and wagons made iu the world.and
had an obliging salesman present to show

tural implements.

at tho Fair, in a pen at the end of one of

tected aud run down and is now in jail.

Biaine,
The man of destiny, the most stalwart Republi
can of tliem all. Is no more popular amons the
members of his :>-\rty than are .Marvin's new
"Ulalne Waters" with till the people.
llave you tried "Blaine Waters' . They are a
delightfully dainty morsel, and are destined to
llnd a place on almost every table In the laud.
You can set Blaine wafers from your grocer.
1f he doesn't already keep them, he can (jet
them for you, Aud right here it might be well
to warn you against accepting substitutes.
There are stale, poorly made eraekers on the
market that unscrupulous dealers can buy .tc
very low prices, and by substituting them for
Marvin's poods, at regular prices, make big
prolits.
Don't be Imposed ti|>on In lUls way. Stale
crackers are uuliealthful. Insist on having
Marvin's goods and on having them fresh.
Marvin's Oysters Crackers are the finest on the
market.
There's Shell Oyster Crackers, fust the shape
and size of a dainty blue point. Hand Made
oyster-Crackers, reiirl Oyster Crackers, Extra
Farina Cracker.!, XXX Farina Crackers, and
1.11 He Gem Farina Crackers,all of them delight
fully crisp and fresh.
They're the most popular crackers made, and
In connection with Marvin's Superior tiinger
Snaps. Royal Fruit Biscuit, and Soda Crackers
should Anil a place on every table.
To the Farmers in Particular
and the Public in General.
In addition to our first-class roller
wheat flour mill, which we built last
spring, and which has proven a suc
cess, we have just added the latest
improved machinery for making
buckwheat and rye flour. This
machinery can not be excelled. We
will be able to make you as good a
quality of buckwheat flour and as
good a yield as can be mado in the
country. We have a complete mill,
which will prove itself:
First, a first-class wheat roller flour
mill, which makes as good a quality
of flour as is shipped from the West
or elsewhere.
Second, the best buckwheat flour
mill in the State.
Third,"a rye flour mill that makes
as good flour as is in the market.
Fourth, corn meal and chopping
tnilis that do complete work.
We also manufacture Graham flour
of the best quality. Therefore we
say without fear of contradiction that
we have the best mill for accom
modating tho farmer and public in
general that there is in Butler county.
We make a specialty of grinding your
graiu at once, PO that you take it
home with you and save an extra
trip.
It will pay to buy your flour at our
mill, as wo make a strictly No, 1
grade of flour and sell it at aa low
figures as it can bo bought anywhere..

A Proclamation.
To those who have wasted time and patleuce
pounding and sifting crackers for domestic
purposes, Marvin's cracker meal comes as a
welcome friend. It Is made from pure tresh
baked crackers, aud put up In handsome con
venient packages. The meal Is put up with
great care, aud Is of use In so many ways that
no home should he without It. For young
children It Is a delightful, nutritious and
heaity food when boiled In milk, and for In
valids It Is desirable In many ways. For making
gruel it has no superior, and better cakes are
much Improved by its use in much the same
proportion as Indian meal Is often used.
Marvin will be at the Pittsburg Exposition
with an exhibit of line breads, tresh cakes and
crackers that his never been surpassed in
America, and that nobody who comes to l'itts
■burg during the big show should mls3 seeing.
Marvin's cakes and crackers have a reputation
that extends from the Atlantic to the I'aciilc.
The season is that they are made from the
purest of pure materials, baked fresh every
day, aud packed with the greatest care. You
can get I hem from your grocer. If he doesn't
already keep them, tell hliu to order them for
you. "Don't be satisfied with a stale, inferior
article.
