And be thank ful you will not be compelled to wear those big hoops. Just think how people would stop and look, if you were reposed in a hammock, enjoying a cool breeze, ar rayed in crinoline. —Some engineers in the employ of the Penn'a K. It. were in town. Monday, sur veying around the creek. It is thought that this company is contemplating the building of a road down the Connoque nessing to the Beaver, to connect with it's western lines, and thus make a throngh route for freight via the Butler Branch, and West Penn to the East. —lf farmers had put their wheat into market soon alter harvest, they would have had better prices for it and saved all loss of interest and shrinkage. As a rule the farm er who sells his wheat without holding it makes the most in the end. There are thousands of bushels of wheat now held in the central part of the state which will be sold at much less than the price was just after harvest. —An exchange tells the story of a boy who was sent to market with a sack of roasting ears and after lingering around town all day, came home without selling them. When his mother asked him why he had not sold the corn be said that no one had asked him what was in the sack. There are many merchant - like that boy. They buy a stock of goods and never let the public know that they have them or that they wish to dispose of them. —A pretty littlo ircident happened when the Liberty Bell train stopped at East Brady. A big policemen guarding the bell saw a mother standing on the depot platform with her baby in her arms. He called for the baby to be brought to bim and willing hands soon passed the sweet little bundle of humanity up to him, when he took it in his great brawny arms and placed the smiling, crowing infant on top of (he bell for a moment. Other babies were handed up to be similarly honored, and the kind-hearted policemen were kept busy placing on the historic bell the similing cherubs who gazed in innocent wonderment on the scene transpiring around them. — Review. —No farmer's barn is complete now-o. days unless it shelters a good wagon, bug gy, carriage or cart. Of course it is not necessary that the farmer should own one of each, but he can hardly get along with out one or the other. Vehicles of all kinds arc much cheaper now tban they were years ago, and they are much better too, as far as that is concerned. When you want to buy one you will of course want to tako advantage of ull new stock and get the best the market affords. To do this it will be nem.-ary to call at Marticourt's Jefferson Street Warehoii-e, where one of the largest and most complete lines ever brought to Butler will bo fouud. Seo his advertisment in another column. —One of the features of the train bear ing the Liberty Bell from Philadelphia to Chicago was the four giant reserves who are to act as the guard for the bell while away from home. Their instructions are not to leave tho relic out of sight of more thau two of their number at any time. Those four strapping inon are proud of their post ot honor. Thov, Thomas • Gillingham, William Search, Georeo Matchner and George T. Benners, were selected because of their long service and bravery on the police force. Chicago will undoubtedly have her hands full to find four compli ments to these stalward men in size, weight, strength and personal appearanco. If the four should he placed on top of one another they would make a monolith near ly twenty-five feet high. They weigh half as much as the ponderous Liberty Bell, which weighs over 2,000 pounds. They can lift hundred-pound weights and toss them about as they would dumb-hells, fn fact, auy one of the four would probably make it very unhappy for any relic hunter or vandals who might bavo the impuden j ce to attempt to chip off a bit of the old Liberty Bell. —A good-hearted preacher met with an amusing adventure the other day that has caused many a smile among his congrega tion and other friends. Like all good domin ies he is always willing to assist anybody in distress. On this occasion he was walking down street when he saw a small boy tug ging at a door bell,and just around tho corn a group'ofsmall boys, apparently in hiding, watching their oompanion. Seoing that efforts the boy was making to ring tho hell were without result, the minister stepped up to bim and said goodnaturedly: "Can't you ring tho bell, little boy? Let me help you," and grasping the handle he gave the bell a pull that resounded all over the neighborhood. • 'Now," said the boy with a fiendish grin on his dirty face, "you've got to t ,sdn like the devil; that's tho «-ay we do, and he and his companions disap peared around the corner. The minister was too dazed to tako the boy's advice,and a moment later when a very excited and angry woman with a red face pulled the door wido open and sailed oat like a cy clone, all he could do was to explain aud apologize—an apology that was received with suspicion. —The recent publishing of tho auditors' report of the accounts of tho Overseers of the Poor in the borough of Butler is excit ing some discussion amony tho taxpayers. According to the report the receipts from the collector for the year just past are about $5,000. Tho total expenses for the same time were $2,800, leaving a cash balance 0f52,200, or almost as much as the total expences of the year. In addi tion to this there is due from tho duplicate of 1892 SI,OOO, 75 per cent, of which will be collected. These figures leave in the hands of the board $3,100, or about S3OO more than last years expenses. There is a general belief that there is little need of a poor tax levy for this year or at best a half mill tax would cover all the exigencies of the year end leave SBOO to spare. There may be reasons why there should be a sur plus of $2,000 or more in the fund, but tho average taxpayer cannot seo it, and to the average taxpayer the reduction of a mill in the taxation is an item to bo looked at. It may be possible that the demands on the Overseer the coming year will be great er than last, but it is just as probable that the demands will be less. The indigent poor of the town are not increasing in numbers to such an extent that a one and a hall mill levy will be required.— Hcrtiltl. USE DANAS' SARSAPARILLA, ITS "THE KIND TIIAT CURES."

The Oil City Derrick's monthly report summarises the Butler field as follows: Butler and Armstrong is steadily gain ing in activity. Fourteen wells were com pleted in April against thirteen in March and the new production was nearly threo fold that of March. While tho March wells averaged 20 bbls.,those of April were good for fifty bbls. apieco. Five of the April wells were unproductive of oil, leav ing nine good wells with an aggregate out put of 455 bbls. Eight productive wells were completed in March with 160 bbls. production, against eight in February with 266 bbls. Five dry holes were di - covered iu March with "only one for the mouth preceding. Fourteen wells and six dry holes were completed in January and the new production was 442 bbls. It will be seen that the April figures approximate very closely thoso of January. New York which had dropped to a very low ebb at the close of January, has been steadily in creasing. The figure for April 30th are 21 rigs and 43 wells drilling, an increase of two rigs and .seven drilling wells over March For the close of March, the count was 19 rigs and 36 drilling wells, as com pared with 17 rigs and 27 wells drilling at the close of February and 12 rigs and 17 drilling wells at tho'close of January. The new production for Butler and Armstrong Ihe past month is small, compared with the results of the u'ork of tUe drill last July, when with IS productive wells, the output of fresh crude amouted to 1.278 bbls. There is a good deal of interest center ed in two wells the Forest Oil company is drilling near the top of the sand at Pierie's Mills, southwe.-t of the old Brush Creek developments. They were started, osten sibly, for gassers, bnt not a few think oil will bo found in one or both.

It seemed to bo tho pride ot the managers to give everythingjust as they had adver tised it, and the result was the most satis fied crowd that has ever attended an en tertainment of this sort hero. Their punctuality, too, was remarkable. At precisely 10:10 tho parade formed. At precisely l! the show commenced; 4 to the minute it dismissed, aud at prompty quarter to eight tho evening show opened. The parade, like the rest of the show, far surpassed anything that has ever be fore been given here. The afternoon attendance must have been in tho neighborhood of 5000 people, as even the standing room was occupied. Most of the acts were new, and their tight and slack rope performances, tum bling, etc., were espociallv good. The whole thing went off with only one slight accident to one of the trapeze artists in making an aerial leap.—Superior Daily Journal, Neb. At Butler, May 13.

Last Thursday morning another dead body was found in the McKeever woods in Donegal twp. Some one was going through the woods that morning when they found the decom posed body of a medium sized man, lying with his face down, aud his arms doubled under him, a messenger was sent to Butler and Detective Allen went out and made an examination and is convinced that the body is that of Steflant, a little German stone mason, who has been abont Butler for the past 20 years. The McKeever farm is becoming quite notorius as this is the third mysterious death that has taken place there, several years ago a man whose identity was not known was found dead there, and about two years aeo another whose identity has never been discovered, and now Steffant— all in the same woods. Some timo ago a gang broke into the McKeever home and after paging and otherwise misusing them made them tell whore they had their money hid. THE TALK OF THE TOWN. Twenty Thousand Dollars Saved to the People of Butler Next Year. How's that? Klinglers have knocked the bottom out of Flour and Feed. The dealers persised in bringing Western Flour and Feed to Butler, and now Klinglers have at last concluded to sell to the retail tiade. Flour and Feed goes directly from the manufacturer to tho consumer. No middleman's profits any longer. One Hundred Thonsand Dollars worth of Flour and Feed sold in Butler last year. Klinglers will sell it for Eighty Thousand Dollars and allow the consumers to keep the other twenty thousand. NOW EVERYBODY GET YOUR SHARE. TUB MORE VOtT BUY. THE MORE YOr MAKE. This is an houest move in tho right direction, is what our best citizens say. We not only save you an immense sum of money yearly, but we keep the money at home, and give it to the Butler farmer and the Butler wage-earner, aud not to tho Western miller and We»t<rn farmer and Western wage-earner, who keeps it all out there. Yes, we have struck the popu lar cord. But more that all, we give you better Flour and Feed than you ever had. All of.it is made in our two mills rifjht here in Butler. No cheap adulterations! We warrant everything absolutely pure, aud just as represented, or money refunded Why, people come and tell us they never had such bread in the house as they now have with Klinglers' ilour. They say, it it tastes different and makes them feel better, than the bread made out of the Western Flour. But how get advantage of our new department! COME AND «ET "A CARD." Our retail prices are not changed: Oriental, a warranted familv flour, per sack $1 15 Snow Drift, an elegaut high grade, per sack 1 1 20 Silver Foam, sold to finest trade in tho U. S., per sack 1 40 4 But the prices on "the card'' are chang ed. Got "a card"' at once and see for yourself. Even after you have "a card" you need not buy. We are obliged to sell you at u certain special price, if you hold "a card." That's all. Onr scheme is a public benefaction. We will save the citizens of Rutler twenty thousand dollars a year. We will keep eighty thousand and with the other twenty saved, one hundred thousand dollars here annually, to be distributed in liutlcr. We will givo the consumer better Flour and Feed and all kinds of cereal goods thau he ever had bofore. KLIXGLKRS WILL "BUST CP. " selling Flour and Feed so cheap—some merchants cry. Very well, the public gets the beuelit,and that ■'•ill be a novel kind of a failure. Everybody knows thero is little money in selling goods upon our new plan, bat never mind about that. We have counted the cost, and as we have a large and growing wholesale trade all over the United States, we are willing to serve tho people of Butler—our own neighbors— at a small profit. Furthermore. WB NEVER DO ANYTHING 11V HALVES, and, therefore, depend upon it, we won't sell you a few small lots at a reduced figure tbis month, and then put the price up on you next month. No, sir! COMK AND GET "A CARD," IT IS GOOD FOR ONE YEAR. If you don't uuderstand what it is, call for one, and we will explain it fullv. Benefit by the greatest reduction In Flour and Feed Butler has ever witnessed. Nobody it. barred. Every resident of Butler can get "a card." With our present facilities for delivering goods, we have been unable to fully meet the wants of the trade, but we will add extra delivery wagons shortly aud clean up all the orders daily. The people of Butler have been fooled long enough on the Flour and Feed question. Wo will give you an "eye opener." Don't hesitate to get "a card" at once at any of the following places: Oriental Roller Mills, Mifllin street; West Penn Elevator, opposite I'enu'a depot; main office, 139 East Jefferson street. Telephone No. 10. H J. KLINGLER & CO. P. S.—We handle salt now, and by the way, it's the "Winfield No. 1. Dairy Salt," the finest table salt you ever laid your eyes on. Every family ought to have a barrel, as it will keep indefinitely in a dry place. This salt is made by the Rough Run Mfg. Co., and is absolutely pure. With "a card." you can buy a barrel for what you will pay for a few large bags of table salt. Armory Opera House. "Oiit COL'.NTU v COUSIN'' This new mral plav commenced a three days engagement at tlie Park matinee yesterday and drew Immense audiences, both matinee and evening It is a very good tnd Interesting play tilled with thrilling and realistic scenes. Frank Jones as Sasou Wheatlev, the Country Cousin, succeeded In keeplug the audience in the very best of lmmor. The company is good and the singing of the famous Farmer'Quarteite was excellent and merited several well earned encores. The railroad scene is the best we have had this season, lteal switches, telegraph poles, derricks and the flight of the midnight express brought the audience to their feet. The train ts.no feet long and crobses the stage in six seconds. A genuine threshing machine li. operation aided greatly In the realism of the farm scene. The play is one that will please all and the Park will certainly be packed to-day and to-morrow matinee anil evening. —Dayton, Ohio. Dally Journal, Oct.
